Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of damping shock absorber assembly equipment, and in particular to a damping shock absorber assembly line. Background Technology

[0002] A damping shock absorber is a type of automotive shock absorber, commonly installed around the tires to facilitate overall vibration damping. The principle of a damping shock absorber is based on the contact between a damping fluid inside the housing and a piston rod. The damping fluid's damping action helps to reduce vibration in the piston rod. A typical damping shock absorber consists of a housing, a sealing cap, a piston rod, and damping fluid. These components are assembled to form the shock absorber. A standard installation procedure is generally followed. This typically involves first injecting damping fluid into the housing, then inserting the piston rod into the housing to contact the fluid, thus installing the damping fluid and piston rod, and finally, installing the entire shock absorber. To further simplify assembly, assembly lines have been designed to increase the efficiency of shock absorber assembly.

[0003] Common component shock absorber assembly equipment mainly consists of a milling machine, a housing transfer device, a damping injection device, a piston rod mounting device, and a sealing cover mounting device. The transfer device connects the various components into an assembly line. The transfer device transports the housing to different parts of the assembly line, with a worker at each assembly. The housing is then transferred to different parts assembly units for assembly, thus forming the damping shock absorber. While this method can assemble damping shock absorbers, the following problems still exist:

[0004] 1. First, the various devices are connected by a transmission device. Although this allows for the transfer and installation of individual parts, if one worker installs slowly while the worker in the preceding process installs quickly, it will cause a backlog of parts for that worker. Conversely, if one worker installs quickly while the subsequent workers install slowly, the subsequent workers will install fewer parts. This leads to poor connectivity between devices, which in turn affects the overall installation efficiency and results in low efficiency.

[0005] 3. Secondly, personnel need to constantly retrieve and install parts. If personnel need to go to the toilet or have other matters to attend to, the parts will accumulate in one place, affecting the overall installation efficiency.

[0006] 2. Secondly, equipping each device with a person will greatly increase the cost of manpower. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems in the prior art and propose a damping shock absorber assembly line that can increase the production efficiency of shock absorbers, avoid problems such as poor connection and parts piling up in one place, and also reduce labor costs.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention proposes a damping shock absorber assembly line, including a damping injection device, a sealing cover mounting device, and a piston rod mounting device.

The first transmission platform is close to the side of the transmission device of the damping injection device and the piston rod mounting device. The transmission device can transfer parts into the first transmission platform. The first discharge platform is located close to the side of the transmission device of the sealing cover mounting device and the piston rod mounting device.

[0013] The second conveyor platform, the second unloading platform, the first placement platform, and the conveying mechanism are all located between the sealing cover mounting device and the piston rod mounting device. The conveying mechanism is located between the second unloading platform, the first placement platform, and the second conveyor platform. The first placement platform is located on one side of the conveying mechanism, while the second conveyor platform is located on the side of the conveying device close to the sealing cover mounting device and the piston rod mounting device. The conveying device can transfer parts from the first unloading platform to the second conveyor platform.

[0014] The second storage platform is located on the side of the piston rod mounting device away from the sealing cover mounting device, while the second feeding mechanism is located on the side of the sealing cover mounting device close to the second storage platform.

[0015] Preferably, a lathe is provided at the end of the damping injection device away from the piston rod mounting device. A holding table and a discharge mechanism are provided between the lathe and the damping injection device. The discharge mechanism is located between the holding table and the lathe and can transfer the parts inside the lathe into the holding table.

[0016] Preferably, the second conveyor platform, the second unloading platform, the first placement platform, and the conveying mechanism are arranged in an equilateral triangle, and the second placement platform is close to the piston rod mounting device.

[0017] Preferably, the first transmission platform, the first unloading platform, and the conveying mechanism are arranged in a straight line, and the first transmission platform and the first unloading platform are at the same height.

[0018] Preferably, the feeding platform is provided with several feeding slots, and the piston rod mounting device is slidably connected to a clamping block. The clamping block is provided with an inclined surface, which is arranged opposite to each other. A spring telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the piston rod mounting device, and one end of the spring telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the clamping block.

[0019] Preferably, the transmission device includes a support, a moving block, a sliding block, a lifting block 1, and a clamping robot 1. The moving block is driven by a cylinder 1 fixedly connected to the support and is slidably connected to the support. The sliding block is driven by a cylinder 2 fixedly connected to the moving block and is slidably connected to the moving block. The lifting block 1 is driven by a cylinder 6 fixedly connected to the sliding block and is vertically raised and lowered and slidably connected to the sliding block. The clamping robot 1 is fixedly connected to the lifting block 1.

[0020] Preferably, the conveying mechanism includes a base, a cross-shaped rotating disk, a lifting block, and a clamping robot. The cross-shaped rotating disk is driven to rotate and connected to the base, while the lifting block is driven to lift and connect to the cross-shaped rotating disk by a cylinder, and can be arranged opposite to the conveyor platform and the unloading platform. The clamping robot is slidably connected to the lifting block by a cylinder.

[0021] Preferably, the sealing cover mounting device is provided with a clamping mechanism for positioning and clamping the shock absorber housing.

[0022] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0023] This invention arranges the damping injection device, sealing cover mounting device, and piston rod mounting device in a straight line, and connects them using a transmission device, enabling continuous processing of the damping injection device, sealing cover mounting device, and piston rod mounting device. Then, the various devices are operated by a first transmission table, a first unloading table, a second transmission table, a first placement table, a second unloading table, a second placement table, a conveying mechanism, a transmission mechanism, and a feeding mechanism, thereby realizing the operation of the outer shell. With the operation of the device of this invention, only one worker is needed at the loading and unloading points, eliminating the need for multiple workers at each device, thus greatly reducing the waste of human resources.

[0024] This invention, through automated assembly line operation, can greatly reduce operational errors caused by human fatigue, thereby significantly increasing the production of shock absorbers.

[0025] This invention, through the staggered arrangement of the transmission device, can effectively distinguish the accuracy of loading and unloading. By using transmission table one, unloading table one, transmission table two, storage table one, unloading table two, and storage table two, the processed products of each process are distinguished as processed products and unprocessed products. This makes it easier for workers to check the assembly, and at the same time, it can prevent unprocessed products from being transmitted to the next process, thereby increasing the smoothness of transmission between processes and eliminating interference between each process.

[0026] This invention provides a conveyor platform 2, a feeding platform 2, a placement platform 1, and a conveying mechanism between the sealing cover mounting device and the piston rod mounting device. The conveying mechanism transports the workpieces on the conveyor platform 2, the feeding platform 2, and the placement platform 1, which improves the connection effect of the conveyor platform 2, the feeding platform 2, and the placement platform 1. At the same time, the conveying mechanism can transport workpieces without the need for manual operation, thus saving human resources. Furthermore, by placing the conveying mechanism between the conveyor platform 2, the feeding platform 2, and the placement platform 1, the positions of processed workpieces, unprocessed workpieces, and semi-finished products can be effectively distinguished, avoiding the mixing of processed workpieces, unprocessed workpieces, and semi-finished products.

[0027] This invention utilizes a feeding mechanism to clamp the sealing caps and transport them to a sealing cap installation device for installation, thereby achieving the overall assembly of the shock absorber body without the need for manual operation, saving manpower resources.

Positioning Clamping Plate. Detailed Implementation

[0034] like Figures 1 to 4 A damping shock absorber assembly line includes a damping injection device 1, a sealing cover mounting device 2, and a piston rod mounting device 3, and further includes: a first transfer table 4, a first discharge table 5, a second transfer table 6, a first placement table 7, a second discharge table 8, a second placement table 9, a transfer device 10, a conveying mechanism 11, a transmission mechanism 12, and a feeding mechanism 13.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 4 When the damping shock absorber needs to be assembled, the sealing cover installation device 2 is mainly composed of a connecting seat 38, cylinder 9 39, main motor 40, sealing cover placement platform 41 and electric three-grip chuck 42. Cylinder 9 39 is fixedly connected to the connecting seat 38, and its output shaft is fixedly connected to the main motor 40. The output shaft of the main motor 40 is fixedly connected to the electric three-grip chuck 42.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 4 The damping injection device 1 is mainly composed of a base 43 and a nozzle 44, with the nozzle 44 fixedly connected to the base 43.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 4 Meanwhile, the piston rod mounting device 3 mainly consists of a storage seat 45.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 4Therefore, the transmission device 10 is staggered between the damping injection device 1, the sealing cover mounting device 2, and the piston rod mounting device 3. The transmission device 10 connects the damping injection device 1, the sealing cover mounting device 2, and the piston rod mounting device 3, and then the outer shell is transmitted to the damping injection device 1 via the transmission device 10. Since the transmission platform 4, the conveying mechanism 11, and the discharge platform 5 are horizontally arranged between the damping injection device 1 and the piston rod mounting device 3, and the conveying mechanism 11 is located between the transmission platform 4 and the discharge platform 5, and the transmission platform 4 is close to the transmission device 10 of the damping injection device 1 and the piston rod mounting device 3, the transmission device 10 can transmit parts into the transmission platform 4. The discharge platform 5 is set at... Near the sealing cover mounting device 2 and piston rod mounting device 3, the transmission device 10 places the outer shell onto the discharge platform 5. The conveying mechanism 11 is activated, and the outer shell is conveyed to the base 43. The nozzle 44 transmits external damping into the outer shell. After the damping filling is completed inside the outer shell, the conveying mechanism 11 continues to run, and the conveying mechanism 11 conveys the outer shell to the transmission platform 4. The cyclic operation of the conveying mechanism 11 can perform damping filling inside the outer shell. Using the conveying mechanism 11 to transport the outer shell for damping filling can reduce the waste of human resources. At the same time, the transmission platform 4 and the discharge platform 5 separate the outer shell and the outer shell after damping, so that the two can be kept from mixing together.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 4 After the outer casing damping is added, the second conveyor platform 6, the second unloading platform 8, the first placement platform 7, and the conveying mechanism 12 are all located between the sealing cover mounting device 2 and the piston rod mounting device 3. The conveying mechanism 12 is located between the second unloading platform 8, the first placement platform 7, and the second conveyor platform 6. The second unloading platform 8 is located on one side of the conveying mechanism 12, while the second conveyor platform 6 is located near the side of the conveying device 10, which is close to the sealing cover mounting device 2 and the piston rod mounting device 3. This conveying device 10 can transfer parts from the first unloading platform 5 to the second conveyor platform 6. Therefore, another set of conveying devices 10 operates, conveying the damped outer casing from the first conveyor platform 4 to the second unloading platform 8. At this time, the conveying mechanism 12 is activated. The outer casing on the conveying platform 6 is conveyed by the conveying mechanism 12 into the piston rod mounting device 3. The piston rod mounting device 3 is activated, and a piston rod is added to the outer casing. After the piston rod is added, the conveying mechanism 12 conveys the outer casing to the unloading platform 8. Another set of conveying devices 10 is activated, and the workpiece on the placement platform 7 is conveyed to the sealing cover mounting device 2. The feeding mechanism 13 is activated, and the sealing cover on the placement platform 9 is conveyed to the sealing cover mounting device 2. The sealing cover is then installed by the sealing cover mounting device 2, thus achieving the installation of the sealing cover.

[0040] like Figures 1 to 4 A lathe 14 is installed at one end of the damping injection device 1, and a holding table 15 and a discharge mechanism 16 are provided between the lathe 14 and the damping injection device 1. The discharge mechanism 16 is located between the holding table 15 and the lathe 14. The discharge mechanism 16 can transfer the parts in the lathe 14 into the holding table 15. Therefore, by setting the transmission device 10 between the lathe 14 and the damping injection device 1, the lathe 14 is used to process the blank, and the discharge mechanism 16 is used to discharge the workpiece, so that the workpiece is placed on the holding table 15, thereby realizing the placement of the workpiece. Then, the transmission device 10 is used to transfer the outer shell, thereby achieving the connection between the damping injection device 1 and the lathe 14. The discharge mechanism 16 is a Litai automatic loading and unloading gantry robot, model LT-HX. The conveying mechanism 12 and the feeding mechanism 13 are the same as the discharge mechanism 14, which are Litai automatic loading and unloading gantry robots, model LT-HX.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 4 The conveyor platform 26, the unloading platform 28, the storage platform 17 and the conveying mechanism 12 are arranged in an equilateral triangle, and the storage platform 29 is close to the piston rod mounting device 3. The triangular arrangement of the conveyor platform 26, the unloading platform 28 and the storage platform 17 can distinguish between parts, unprocessed products and finished products.

[0042] like Figures 1 to 4 The conveyor platform 4, the unloading platform 5, and the conveying mechanism 11 are arranged in a straight line, and the height of the conveyor platform 4 and the unloading platform 5 are the same, so as to prevent the workpiece from being placed at different heights and to always keep the outer shell horizontal, reducing the possibility of the piston rod detaching from the outer shell due to up and down movement.

[0043] like Figures 1 to 4 By opening several feeding slots 18 on the feeding platform 5, the outer shell is positioned by the feeding slots 18. The spring telescopic rod 20, which is fixedly connected to the piston rod mounting device 3, is fixedly connected to the clamping block 19, which is slidably connected to the feeding platform 5, thereby clamping the outer shell. By setting an inclined surface on the clamping block 19, it is easier for the outer shell to enter between the clamping blocks 19, thereby increasing the smoothness of the outer shell's entry.

[0044] like Figures 1 to 4When the transmission device 10 needs to transfer a workpiece, since the transmission device 10 includes a support 21, a moving block 22, a sliding block 23, a lifting block 24, and a clamping robot 25, the moving block 22 is driven by a cylinder 26 fixedly connected to the support 21 and is slidably connected to the support 21. The sliding block 23 is driven by a cylinder 27 fixedly connected to the moving block 22 and is slidably connected to the moving block 22. The lifting block 24 is driven by a cylinder 28 fixedly connected to the sliding block 23 and is vertically raised and lowered and slidably connected to the sliding block 23. The clamping robot 25 is fixedly connected to the lifting block 24. Therefore, after the robot clamps the workpiece, the sliding block 23 retracts, the height of the lifting block 24 is adjusted, and the moving block 22 slides. The moving block 22 moves the workpiece, thereby realizing the transfer of the workpiece and further improving the transfer effect of the workpiece.

[0045] like Figures 1 to 4 The conveying mechanism 11 includes a base 29, a cross-shaped rotating disk 30, a lifting block 31, and a clamping robot. The cross-shaped rotating disk 30 is driven to rotate and connected to the base 29 by a motor 33. The lifting block 31 is driven to lift and connect to the cross-shaped rotating disk 30 by a cylinder 34 and can be arranged opposite to the conveying platform 4 and the unloading platform 5. The clamping robot 32 is slidably connected to the lifting block 31 by a cylinder 4 35. Therefore, after the clamping robot 32 clamps the workpiece, the cross-shaped rotating disk 30 is driven to rotate by the motor 33. The rotation of the cross-shaped rotating disk 30 drives the clamping robot 32 to rotate, thereby realizing the transfer of the workpiece. After the workpiece is transferred, the movement of the clamping robot 32 realizes the transfer of the workpiece to the corresponding position. By setting the cross-shaped rotating disk 30 in a cross shape, the continuity of the transfer is increased.

[0046] like Figures 1 to 4 A clamping mechanism 37 is provided inside the sealing cover installation device. Since the clamping mechanism 37 consists of a cylinder 8 and a positioning clamping plate 48, the positioning clamping plate 48 can be moved by the cylinder 8, thereby realizing the positioning clamping plate 48 clamping the workpiece, further improving the clamping effect of the workpiece and preventing the shell from tipping over.

[0047] The principle of this invention is as follows: Material is transferred to the unloading platform 5 via a transmission device 10. The workpiece is then transferred to the damping injection device 1 for processing via a conveying mechanism 11. After the outer shell is processed, the conveying mechanism 11 continues to operate, transferring the outer shell to the transmission platform 4. Another set of transmission devices 10 is activated, transferring the workpiece to the unloading platform 5. The conveying mechanism 12 transfers material from the placement platform 7 to the piston rod mounting device 3 for installation. The workpiece is then transferred to the second transmission platform 6. At this point, the transmission device 10 is activated, transferring the workpiece to the sealing cover mounting device 2. The conveying mechanism 12 is activated, transferring the sealing cover to the sealing cover mounting device 2, thus enabling the sealing cover mounting device 2 to install the sealing cover.

[0048] The above embodiments are illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any simple modifications to the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
