DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0042] The present application will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams and only schematically illustrate the basic structure of the present application, and thus only show the components related to the present application.
[0043] Example 1.
[0044] As Figure 1As shown in the figure, a circular workpiece assembly mechanism includes a column 100 mounted on a workbench, a positioning platform 200 mounted at the top end of the column 100, and a bracket 300 mounted at the front end of the positioning platform 200, and further includes a positioning assembly 400, a pushing assembly 500, a suction and pressing assembly 600, and an X-direction carrying module 700. The positioning assembly 400 is vertically mounted at the rear end of the bottom surface of the positioning platform 200, and is used for center positioning of the circular workpiece; the pushing assembly 500 is horizontally mounted along the Y-direction in the middle of the top surface of the positioning platform 200, and is used for pushing the circular workpiece onto the positioning assembly 400; the suction and pressing assembly 600 is vertically arranged above the positioning platform 200, and is used for suction and pressing of the circular workpiece that has been center positioned on the positioning assembly 400; and the X-direction carrying module 700 is horizontally mounted along the X-direction at the top end of the bracket 300, and the slider thereon is connected with the suction and pressing assembly 600. The circular workpiece is orderly pushed by the pushing assembly 500 onto the positioning assembly 400, and after automatic positioning by the positioning assembly 400, the suction and pressing assembly 600 precisely sucks, and then the X-direction carrying module 700 carries the suction and pressing assembly 600 that has sucked the circular workpiece to above the product, and the suction and pressing assembly 600 precisely presses into the product hole, with high automation degree and high assembly precision. The suction and pressing of the circular workpiece are integrated on the suction and pressing assembly 600, simplifying the structure. Specifically, the X-direction carrying module 700 is a linear module, which belongs to the prior art and will not be described in detail here.
[0045] As shown in the figure, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the suction and pressing assembly 600 includes a Z-direction lifting module 610, a mounting seat 620, and a suction and pressing group 630. The Z-direction lifting module 610 is vertically mounted on the slider of the X-direction carrying module 700, the mounting seat 620 is mounted on the slider of the Z-direction lifting module 610, and the suction and pressing group 630 is vertically mounted on the mounting seat 620. The Z-direction lifting module 610 drives the mounting seat 620 to synchronously drive the suction and pressing group 630 to rise and fall, so that the suction and pressing group 630 realizes suction and pressing of the circular workpiece. Specifically, the Z-direction lifting module 610 is a linear module.
[0046] As shown in the figure, Figures 2-6As shown, the suction press-fitting group 630 comprises a shell 631, a mandrel 632, an adapter nut 633, a gas source connector 634, a suction cup 635 and a sealing ring 636. The shell 631 is provided with a cavity 637 inside. The mandrel 632 and the suction cup 635 are coaxially arranged in the cavity 637 and are both provided with a gap 638 with the cavity 637. The gap 638 allows the shell 631 to move up and down relative to the mandrel 632 and the suction cup 635. The suction cup 635 is installed at the bottom end of the mandrel 632. The middle and lower part of the mandrel 632 is protrudingly provided with an annular rib 639. The top surface of the annular rib 639 is in contact with a lower step surface 6310 formed in the cavity 637. In this way, the annular rib 639 supports the shell 631, avoiding the shell 631 from falling off. A plurality of radial holes 6311 are formed in the annular rib 639 in the circumferential direction. An axial air channel 6312 is formed in the mandrel 632. The bottom end of the axial air channel 6312 is communicated with the gap 638 through the radial holes 6311. A through hole 6313 is formed in the middle of the mounting seat 620 in the Z direction. The adapter nut 633 is installed at the top end of the mounting seat 620 and its bottom end extends into the through hole 6313. The top end of the shell 631 extends into the through hole 6313 and is sleeved on the bottom end of the adapter nut 633. The top end of the mandrel 632 is connected with the bottom end of the adapter nut 633. The gas source connector 634 is installed at the top end of the adapter nut 633 and is communicated with the axial air channel 6312. The sealing ring 636 is sleeved on the mandrel 632 and is in contact with the inner wall of the cavity 637. The sealing ring 636 is located above the annular rib 639. The sealing ring 636 forms a closed air cavity together with the axial air channel 6312, the radial holes 6311 and the gap 638 below the sealing ring 636, so that the circular workpiece can be sucked. By designing the mandrel 632 and the suction cup 635 to match the gap of the cavity 637, the shell 631 can move up and down relative to the mandrel 632 and the suction cup 635, so that the assembly of the circular workpiece can be realized regardless of whether there is a step in the product hole, and the compatibility of multiple products can be realized. Specifically, the bottom end of the shell 631 is concavely formed with a first annular arc surface 800. The bottom end of the suction cup 635 is concavely formed with a second annular arc surface 900. The first annular arc surface 800 and the second annular arc surface 900 are both adapted to the circular workpiece. The first annular arc surface 800 and the second annular arc surface 900 can adapt to circular workpieces of different specifications. The gas source connector 634 is communicated with a gas source device (not shown in the figure).
[0047] When the circular workpiece is sucked, the Z-direction lifting module 610 drives the suction and press-fitting group 630 to move downward until the first annular arc surface 800 and the second annular arc surface 900 contact the circular workpiece positioned on the positioning assembly 400, and then the air source device is used to suck air, so that the negative pressure in the air cavity formed by the axial air channel 6312, the radial hole 6311 and the gap 638 below the sealing ring 636, thereby adsorbing the circular workpiece. When the product hole is free of steps, the Z-direction lifting module 610 drives the suction and press-fitting group 630 to move downward, the bottom end of the shell 631 and the bottom end of the suction disc 635 enter the product hole, and continue to penetrate, until the circular workpiece contacts the hole bottom, and then the air source device is used to inflate, so that the positive pressure is formed in the air cavity formed by the axial air channel 6312, the radial hole 6311 and the gap 638 below the sealing ring 636, the circular workpiece is blown off by the air pressure and is pressed into the hole bottom, thereby ensuring that the circular workpiece is in full and uniform contact with the hole bottom, and the assembly precision is high. When the product hole has steps, as shown in Figure 12 and Figure 13 , the Z-direction lifting module 610 drives the suction and press-fitting group 630 to move downward, the bottom end of the shell 631 and the bottom end of the suction disc 635 enter the product hole, and continue to penetrate, first the bottom end of the shell 631 contacts the step surface in the hole, and then the shell 631 is forced to move upward, and then continues to move downward and penetrates, until the circular workpiece contacts the step hole bottom, in the process of continuing to move downward and penetrate, the first annular arc surface 800 is separated from the circular workpiece, at this time the gap 638 below the sealing ring 636 is communicated with the step hole, and because the air source device continuously sucks air, the air in the step hole is exhausted, thereby ensuring that the circular workpiece is in smooth contact with the step hole bottom, and then the air source device is used to inflate, so that the positive pressure is formed in the air cavity formed by the axial air channel 6312, the radial hole 6311 and the gap 638 below the sealing ring 636, the circular workpiece is blown off by the air pressure and is pressed into the step hole bottom, thereby ensuring that the circular workpiece is in full and uniform contact with the step hole bottom.
[0048] As shown in Figure 4 , in order to avoid overpressure on the product in the process of press-fitting the circular workpiece, the suction and press-fitting group 630 is also provided with a first spring 6314 and a second spring 6315, the first spring 6314 is sleeved on the upper part of the mandrel 632, the top end of the first spring 6314 abuts against the bottom end of the adapter nut 633, and the bottom end thereof abuts against the upper step surface 6316 formed in the cavity 637, the second spring 6315 is sleeved on the lower part of the mandrel 632, the top end of the second spring 6315 abuts against the bottom surface of the annular protrusion 639, and the bottom end thereof abuts against the top end of the suction disc 635, and the suction disc 635 is slidably sleeved on the bottom end of the mandrel 632.
[0049] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, the positioning assembly 400 comprises a mounting frame 410, a jacking cylinder 420, a positioning cylinder 430, a positioning cone 440 and a fixing pin 450, the mounting frame 410 is vertically mounted at the rear end of the bottom surface of the positioning platform 200, a sliding hole 460 is formed in the middle of the mounting frame 410 along the Z direction, the jacking cylinder 420 is vertically mounted at the bottom end of the mounting frame 410 with the driving end upward, the positioning cylinder 430 is arranged in the sliding hole 460 and slidably connected with the sliding hole 460, the driving end of the jacking cylinder 420 extends into the sliding hole 460 and is connected with the bottom end of the positioning cylinder 430, the positioning cylinder 430 has a hollow structure, the positioning cone 440 is arranged in the cavity of the positioning cylinder 430 and is in clearance fit with the cavity of the positioning cylinder 430, a pin hole 470 is formed in the cylinder body of the positioning cylinder 430 along the axial direction, one end of the fixing pin 450 is connected with the bottom end of the positioning cone 440 and the other end of the fixing pin 450 passes through the pin hole 470 and is connected with the mounting frame 410, the fixing pin 450 is in sliding fit with the pin hole 470, the rear end of the positioning platform 200 is provided with a positioning hole 480 through which the positioning cylinder 430 passes, and the cone head of the positioning cone 440 extends into the positioning hole 480. The clearance fit between the positioning cone 440 and the cavity of the positioning cylinder 430 enables the positioning cylinder 430 to move up and down relative to the positioning cone 440, when the positioning cone 440 is used to center the circular workpiece, the positioning cylinder 430 always supports the circular workpiece, so that the circular workpiece can be horizontally positioned on the positioning cone 440, and the inaccurate centering caused by the inclined fitting of the circular workpiece on the positioning cone 440 is avoided. Specifically, the upper part of the positioning cone 440 is in the shape of a circular cone.
[0050] When positioning, the pushing assembly 500 pushes the circular workpiece into the positioning hole 480, at this time, only the cone head of the positioning cone 440 needs to fall into the vertical projection of the inner hole of the circular workpiece, at this time, the positioning cylinder 430 supports the circular workpiece, then the jacking cylinder 420 drives the positioning cylinder 430 to slowly move downward, at this time, the circular workpiece falls in the positioning hole 480 and is centered by the positioning cone 440 in the process of falling, until the centering is achieved, at this time, the circular workpiece is in a horizontal state, then the jacking cylinder 420 drives the positioning cylinder 430 to move upward, and the circular workpiece centered is pushed out of the positioning hole 480.
[0051] It should be noted that the above positioning is for the circular workpiece with an outer diameter obviously smaller than the hole diameter of the positioning hole 480, if the outer diameter of the circular workpiece is almost equal to the hole diameter of the positioning hole 480, the centering can be directly achieved through the positioning hole 480.

One end of the connecting plate 520 is connected with the driving end of the pushing cylinder 510, and the other end is connected with the top end of the small pushing plate 530. The large pushing plate 540 is installed on the left side of the small pushing plate 530. The connecting plate 520 is driven by the pushing cylinder 510 to synchronously drive the small pushing plate 530 and the large pushing plate 540 to move towards the positioning hole 480, so as to push the circular workpiece into the positioning hole 480.
[0053] As shown in the drawings, Figure 7 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 , the pushing assembly 500 further comprises a guiding assembly 550 for guiding the circular workpiece to the positioning hole 480 during the pushing process. The guiding assembly 550 comprises a left guiding block 551 and a right guiding block 552. The left guiding block 551 is installed at the rear end of the top surface of the positioning platform 200 and located at the left end of the positioning hole 480. The right guiding block 552 is installed at the rear end of the top surface of the positioning platform 200 and located at the right end of the positioning hole 480.

[0054] As shown in the drawings, Figure 7 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 , the circular workpiece assembly mechanism further comprises a material guiding assembly 1000. The material guiding assembly 1000 comprises a stop block 1010 and a pressing plate 1020. The stop block 1010 is installed at the rear end of the top surface of the positioning platform 200. The stop block 1010 is in two pieces and is spaced apart along the Y direction. The pressing plate 1020 is arranged above the positioning platform 200 and between the two stop blocks 1010. Limiting grooves 1030 are formed at the bottom ends of the opposite sides of the stop block 1010. The left end of the limiting groove 1030 is formed with a guiding surface 1040. Through the arrangement of the material guiding assembly 1000, the circular workpiece is accurately guided to the pushing position, i.e. corresponding to the small pushing plate 530 and the large pushing plate 540. Specifically, the two guiding surfaces 1040 form a V-shaped pattern.
