[0074] like Figure 1-Figure 14The specific embodiment of the automatic installation device for the nut of a brake drum of the present invention shown in the figure comprises a frame 1, an inclined line transfer mechanism 2 arranged on the frame 1, a roller installation platform 3, a nut screwing mechanism 4, and a reaction mechanism 5.

The nut screwing mechanism 4 is installed in the negative direction of the Z axis of the frame 1, and is used to place the nut 7 and screw the nut 7. The reaction mechanism 5 is installed in the positive direction of the Z axis of the frame 1, and is used to press the bolts and nuts 7 to be installed on the brake drum. When the brake drum and the nut 7 are screwed and installed, the axes of the reaction mechanism 5, the brake roller placed on the roller installation platform 3, and the nut screwing mechanism 4 in the Z axis direction coincide. The nut screwing mechanism 4 is located below the roller installation platform 3, and the reaction mechanism 5 is located above the roller installation platform 3.

[0075] The present invention is provided with a nut screwing mechanism 4 below the roller installation platform 3, and a reaction mechanism 5 above the roller installation platform 3, so that the nut 7 and the brake drum can be screwed and installed from bottom to top, without the need to use a mechanical arm to repeatedly flip the wheel hub 8, effectively solving the problem of cumbersome installation procedures and low working efficiency of the nut 7 and the brake drum in the prior art. In addition, the present invention is provided with an inclined line transfer mechanism 2, a roller installation platform 3, a nut screwing mechanism 4, and a reaction mechanism 5, which cooperate with each other without manual assistance, ensuring the continuity of the production rhythm, and the installation position makes the components non-interfering with each other, completely avoiding the problem of missed screwing and wrong screwing.

[0076] It should be further explained that the automatic installation device for brake drum nuts in this embodiment also includes a nut transmission mechanism 6 for feeding, clamping and conveying nuts 7, and the nut transmission mechanism 6 includes a clamping jaw conveying assembly 61, a nut feeding turntable assembly 62, a feeding device 63 and a gluing assembly 64. The clamping jaw conveying assembly 61 is installed on the frame 1, and is used to clamp and transport the nuts 7 to the nut screwing mechanism 4. The nut feeding turntable assembly 62 is arranged on one side of the frame 1, and is used to place the nuts 7 to be clamped by the clamping jaw conveying assembly 61. The feeding device 63 is arranged on one side of the frame 1 and is placed on the same side as the nut rotating table 623, and is used to feed the nuts 7 onto the nut rotating table 623. The gluing assembly 64 is installed on the nut feeding turntable assembly 62, and is used to glue the nuts 7 to be clamped.

[0077] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the clamping jaw conveying assembly 61 includes a transverse conveying assembly 611 installed on the frame 1 along the Y-axis direction, a material picking clamping jaw assembly 612 fixedly installed at the output end of the transverse conveying assembly 611, and the transverse conveying assembly 611 includes a material picking and placing transfer cylinder installed on the frame 1, a transfer slide fixedly connected to the output end of the material picking and placing transfer cylinder, and a transmission guide rail installed in cooperation with the transfer slide, and the transmission guide rail is installed on the frame 1 along the Y-axis direction. The transverse conveying assembly 611 is correspondingly provided with a clamping position for clamping the nut 7, a material placing position for placing the nut 7, and a waiting position arranged between the clamping position and the material placing position.

[0078] The material picking jaw assembly 612 includes a plurality of pneumatic jaws. In this embodiment, the number of pneumatic jaws is six. The number of pneumatic jaws can be adjusted as needed, and there is no absolute limit on the number of starting jaws.

[0079] The nut feeding turntable assembly 62 includes a feeding frame 621, a turntable motor 622 installed on the feeding frame 621, and a nut turntable 623 coaxially arranged with the output shaft of the turntable motor 622. A plurality of nut 7 feeding positions are arranged on the nut turntable 623. The feeding device 63 cooperates and abuts against the nut turntable 623. The feeding device 63 in this embodiment adopts an externally purchased vibrating material sorting machine. It should be understood that any feeding device 63 that can realize nut 7 feeding that can be purchased on the market can be used, and the structure of the feeding device 63 will not be elaborated on here.

[0080] The nut rotating table 623 in this embodiment is a six-division nut 7 feeding turntable, and the turntable motor 622 is a Siemens V90 servo motor. Six proximity switches are installed at the nut 7 feeding position to detect whether the nut 7 is in place. A proximity switch is installed at the outlet of the material sorter to detect whether there are bolts at the outlet, and a stop-material cylinder is installed at the outlet to control the transmission of the nut 7. Nut 7 blocking and releasing process: the equipment applies for nut 7 loading. If the outlet of the material sorter detects that there are already sorted bolts, and there is no nut 7 at the corresponding bolt position of the turntable, the stop-material cylinder descends to release the material, and the nut 7 is transported from the outlet of the material sorter to the corresponding nut 7 position on the turntable, and then the stop-material cylinder rises to the initial position to block the transmission of the next nut 7, and the nut 7 feeding process ends here.

[0081] Before the nut 7 in this embodiment is installed on the brake drum, anaerobic glue needs to be applied to the thread of the nut 7. The glue coating component 64 includes a glue coating head part, a horizontal moving part of the glue coating head, and an up and down moving part of the glue coating head. The glue coating component 64 that can be thought of by those skilled in the art is not described in detail here. The glue coating process is that the equipment applies glue to the nut 7, the upper and lower cylinders of the glue coating descend to the gluing position, and a signal to start gluing is given to the glue coating head. After the glue coating head finishes gluing, the glue coating head feeds back a glue coating completion signal to the equipment PLC, and the upper and lower cylinders of the glue coating rise to the initial position, and the gluing process ends here.

[0082] like Figure 3 As shown, the inclined transfer mechanism in this embodiment includes an inclined support rod 21 inclined from the positive direction of the X-axis to the negative direction of the Z-axis and a linear transfer assembly 22. The inclined support rod 21 is fixed on the frame 1, and the angle a between the inclined support rod 21 and the plane where the positive direction of the X-axis is located is an acute angle. In this embodiment, a=10°. The design is adjusted according to the length of the inclined support rod 21, the placement height of the brake drum, the discharge position of the nut 7, etc. There is no absolute limitation on the degree of angle a.

[0083] The line transfer assembly 22 is installed on the inclined support rod 21, and is used to drive the roller installation platform 3 to slide along the inclined support rod 21, wherein one end of the inclined support rod 21 close to the nut screwing mechanism 4 is higher than the other end of the inclined support rod 21. Specifically, the line transfer assembly 22 includes a line transfer cylinder installed on the inclined support rod 21, a line transfer slide rail arranged along the extension direction of the inclined support rod 21, and a line transfer slider matched with the line transfer slide rail. The roller installation platform 3 is fixedly connected to the line transfer slider, that is, the roller installation platform 3 follows the line transfer slider to slide along the inclined support rod 21. In this embodiment, the inclined support rod 21 inclinedly arranged on the frame 1 is used to realize a drive to drive the roller installation platform 3 to move upward and forward at the same time and / or downward and backward at the same time. The structure is simple, reliable, and does not occupy space, and avoids the problem of the entire device occupying a large space in order to solve the mutual interference of multiple drives.

[0084] See also Figures 4 to 6The roller installation platform 3 includes a mounting frame 31, a tray 32 and a tray positioning assembly 34. The tray 32 is slidably mounted on the mounting frame 31 through a linear conveying mechanism 33, wherein the linear conveying mechanism 33 includes a linear conveying motor 331 fixedly mounted on the mounting frame 31, a first active bevel gear 332 and a second active bevel gear 333 coaxially arranged with the output shaft of the linear conveying motor 331, a first driven bevel gear assembly 334 and a second driven bevel gear assembly 335 meshingly connected with the first active bevel gear 332 and the second active bevel gear 333, respectively, and a plurality of gear teeth groups 336 rotating in cooperation with the first driven bevel gear assembly 334 and the second driven bevel gear assembly 335; the gear teeth group 336 rotates forward and reversely to drive the tray 32 to move along the Y-axis direction. The tray positioning assembly 34 is mounted on the mounting frame 31 and is used for secondary positioning of the tray 32 along the Z-axis direction. The pallet positioning assembly 34 includes a positioning frame 341 fixedly mounted on the lower end surface of the mounting frame 31, a pallet positioning cylinder 342 and a pallet positioning guide rod 343. The pallet positioning cylinder 342 is fixedly mounted on the positioning frame 341. The output end of the pallet positioning cylinder 342 abuts against the pallet 32 ​​through the positioning support plate. The pallet positioning cylinder 342 pushes the pallet 32 ​​to move along the Z-axis direction. One end of the pallet positioning guide rod 343 is slidably mounted on the positioning frame 341, and the other end is fixedly connected to the positioning support plate 344.

[0085] In this embodiment, there are two pallet positioning assemblies 34, which are respectively close to the two ends of the mounting frame 31, to ensure that the pallet 32 ​​is stably kept horizontal for precise positioning in the up and down directions. A positioning hole is provided on the pallet 32, and the positioning hole and the pallet positioning guide rod 343 are slidably arranged. One pallet positioning assembly 34 is provided with two pallet positioning guide rods 343, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the pallet positioning cylinder 342, to further ensure that the pallet 32 ​​moves smoothly and horizontally during the positioning process.

[0086] It should be noted that, as an implementation mode, the first driven bevel gear assembly 334 and the second driven bevel gear assembly 335 have the same structure and are symmetrically arranged on the mounting frame 31. In this embodiment, the first driven bevel gear assembly 334 is taken as an example. The first driven bevel gear assembly 334 includes a first driven bevel gear meshingly connected with the first driving bevel gear 332, a first driven shaft coaxially arranged with the first driven bevel gear, and a plurality of transmission bevel gears coaxially arranged with the first driven shaft. The first driven shaft runs through the entire mounting frame 31 along the Y-axis direction, and a plurality of transmission bevel gears are evenly arranged on the first driven shaft. The number of gear teeth 336 is consistent with the number of transmission bevel gears. The gear set 435 includes a guide wheel fixedly installed on the mounting frame 31 and a guide bevel gear coaxially arranged with the guide wheel. The guide bevel gear is meshingly connected with the corresponding transmission bevel gear.

[0087] like Figures 8 to 13As shown, the nut tightening mechanism 4 includes a tightening slide 41 slidably installed on the frame 1 through a tightening lifting mechanism 42, a displacement assembly 43 installed on the tightening slide 41, a plurality of nut tightening assemblies 44 installed on the displacement assembly 43, and a nut placement module 45 installed at the output end of the tightening assembly; wherein, the nut 7 tightening assembly includes a tightening motor 441 installed on the displacement assembly 43, a tightening mounting cylinder 442 coaxially arranged with the output shaft of the tightening motor 441, and a tightening shaft 443 fixedly installed with the tightening mounting cylinder 442 in the Z-axis direction; the tightening shaft 443 is fixedly installed with the nut placement module 45. The tightening shaft in this embodiment is a hexagonal spline shaft, and the end of the screw-on installation tube 442 that cooperates with the tightening shaft is set as an inner hexagonal spline sleeve, and the inner hexagonal spline sleeve is connected to the outer hexagonal of the tightening shaft. The screw-on installation tube 442 is fixed to the connecting plate by bolts. In the specific installation, a spring is arranged between the tightening shaft and the screw-on installation tube 442, so that the extension and contraction amount of the tightening shaft is about 50mm. During operation, the tightening slide 41 will rise to a fixed position to ensure sufficient spring compression. When tightening, it moves upward while tightening by the spring thrust until the nut 7 is tightened into place. The clearance between the spline shaft and the spline sleeve plays a certain degree of angle floating for the nut 7 to place the sleeve, and further ensures that the nut 7 does not tilt when placed on the nut gasket 454. Ensure that the nut 7 is placed flat and stable.

[0088] like Figure 8 As shown, the tightening and lifting mechanism 42 in this embodiment includes a tightening and lifting servo fixedly installed on the frame 1 and a tightening and lifting guide rail symmetrically installed on the frame 1, the output end of the tightening and lifting cylinder is fixedly installed on the tightening slide 41, and a tightening and lifting slider is fixedly installed on the tightening slide 41 corresponding to the guide rail, and the tightening and lifting slider is cooperatively connected with the tightening and lifting guide rail; start the tightening and lifting servo to drive the tightening and lifting slider to slide along the tightening and lifting guide rail.

[0089] When in use, first adjust the position of the nut 7 placed on the sleeve through the displacement mechanism to adapt to the position of the wheel hub 8 to be installed. When the wheel hubs 8 of different sizes are installed with bolts and nuts 7, the displacement assembly 43 can change the radial positions of multiple nuts 7 at the same time, and can ensure that multiple nuts 7 are located on the same circumference.

[0103] The feeding, gluing and clamping process of the nut 7 in step S3 specifically includes:

[0104] S31. The nut 7 feeding process is to start the feeding device 63 to feed the nut 7 onto the nut feeding turntable assembly 62.

[0105] S32. The gluing process of the nut 7 is to start the gluing component 64 to perform the gluing process on the nut 7 on the nut feeding turntable component 62.

[0106] In this embodiment, six nuts 7 are taken as an example, and the specific feeding and gluing process is as follows: the nut rotating table 623 rotates to the first nut 7 feeding position and the gluing horizontal moving cylinder moves to the gluing position, and the first nut 7 feeding is applied, and the nut 7 feeding process is executed. The nut rotating table 623 rotates to the second nut 7 feeding position and the gluing horizontal moving cylinder moves to the gluing position, and the second nut 7 feeding is applied, and the nut 7 feeding process is executed, and the gluing of the nut 7 at the first nut 7 feeding position is applied, and the gluing process is executed. The nut rotating table 623 rotates to the third nut 7 feeding position and the third nut 7 feeding is applied, and the nut 7 feeding process is executed; the gluing of the second nut 7 is applied, and the gluing process is executed.

The nut rotating table 623 turns to the sixth nut 7 loading position, and applies for the sixth nut 7 loading at the same time, and executes the nut 7 loading process; applies for the fifth nut 7 gluing, and executes the gluing process. The nut rotating table 623 turns to the nut 71 loading position, and performs the following operations. After the end, jump to the next step: apply for the sixth nut 7 gluing, and execute the gluing process. The nut rotating table 623 goes to the nut 7 picking position, and the gluing horizontal moving cylinder returns to the initial state. At this point, the nut 7 loading process ends, and the picking and unloading mechanism is allowed to pick up the nut 7. After the nut 7 is grabbed, this cycle ends, jumps to the first step, and starts the next set of nut 7 loading.

[0107] The nut rotating table 623 is designed with 6 divisions, and there are 6 sets of pneumatic clamps. The feeding device 63, pneumatic clamps, nut screwing mechanism 4, wire conveying mechanism 33, etc. are independent of each other, so that the feeding, oiling, transportation, tightening and pallet 32 ​​conveying of the 6 nuts 7 can be carried out simultaneously and crosswise without interfering with each other, which greatly improves the productivity.

[0108] S33. The process of clamping and transporting the nut 7 is to move the clamping jaw conveying assembly 61 to the clamping position, and to clamp and transport the glue-coated nut 7 to the nut screwing mechanism 4.

[0109] The whole process includes 1 material picking, unloading and transferring cylinder, 1 material picking stop cylinder, 1 nut 7 material picking and unloading upper and lower cylinders, and 6 nut 7 material picking claw cylinders. In order to save the material picking cycle, the material picking, unloading and transferring cylinder is equipped with three positions: clamping position, material discharging position and waiting position, which are realized by a double electric valve and a stop cylinder. When moving to the left, the cylinder can reach the discharging position; when moving to the right, when the material picking stop cylinder extends to the blocking position, the material picking, unloading and transferring cylinder can only move to the middle waiting position. After the nut 7 is loaded and glued, the material picking stop cylinder returns to its original position, and the material picking, unloading and transferring cylinder moves to the material picking position.

[0114] Step 4, take and place the material and transfer the cylinder to the material taking position;

[0115] Step 5, the upper and lower cylinders for taking and discharging materials extend to the lower material taking position;

[0116] Step 6, 6 groups of clamping jaws clamp the nut 7 simultaneously;

[0117] Step 7, the upper and lower cylinders for taking and discharging materials return to the upper initial state, at which time, the six sensors for detecting the presence or absence of nuts 7 on the nut rotating platform 623 do not send signals. The process of taking nuts 7 ends here.

[0118] After the nut 7 is clamped, the jaw conveying assembly 61 conveys the nut 7 to the discharge position. Placing the nut 7 includes the following steps:

[0119] Step 1, obtaining a command from the nut screwing mechanism 4 to allow the nut 7 to be placed;

[0120] Step 2, take the discharge transfer cylinder to the discharge position;

[0121] Step 3, the upper and lower cylinders for taking and releasing materials extend to the lower position, and at the same time, the material stop cylinder for taking the material stops at the blocking position;

[0122] Step 4, the six groups of jaws are opened simultaneously, and the nut 7 is placed in the nut placement module 45;

[0123] Step 5, the upper and lower cylinders for taking and discharging materials return to the upper position;

[0124] Step 6, take the material and transfer the cylinder to the middle waiting position. So far, the process of placing the nut 7 is finished, and the nut transmission mechanism 6 returns to the operation of taking the nut 7 and starts the next cycle.

[0125] The roller installation platform 3 includes a linear conveying mechanism 33 that drives the tray 32 to move along the Y-axis direction, and also includes a station stopper, an RFID reader and writer, and a tray positioning assembly 34. The linear conveying mechanism 33 in this embodiment is driven by a motor alone and can be pneumatically driven to move into the device.

[0126] The positioning, pressing and screwing process of the brake drum and the nut 7 includes the following steps:

[0127] Step 1, the tray 32 enters the station stopper, reads the RFID data, and obtains the ID and model information of the workpiece on the tray 32;

[0128] Step 2, the tray positioning assembly 34 drives the tray 32 to perform secondary positioning;

[0129] Step 3, after the nut 7 is placed in the nut placement module 45, the position changing motor 431 is started to drive the tightening shaft to change position to the corresponding bolt center distance position;

[0130] Step 4, the nut screwing mechanism 4 allows the wire conveying mechanism 33 to operate;

[0131] Step 5, the line body transfer cylinder extends, and the line body drives the tray 32 to move as a whole, and moves the workpiece to the upper side of the tightening axis corresponding to the Z-axis direction;

[0132] Step 6, the tightening position motor 431 sends the tightening shaft to the tightening position;

[0133] Step 7, requesting the nut tightening mechanism 4 to start the tightening process;

[0134] Step 8, after the tightening process is completed, the inclined wire body transfer mechanism 2 returns to the wire body position, and the position changing motor 431 returns to its original position;

[0135] Step 9, the tray positioning cylinder 342 descends;

[0136] Step 10: The station stopper is released. At this point, the line conveying process ends and jumps to the first step to start the next cycle.

[0137] The position-changing motor 431 drives the tightening shaft to automatically change radial position to meet the tightening requirements of various machine types with different center distances. The nut 7 is tightened from bottom to top, the nut screwing mechanism 4 is below the tray 32, and a reaction mechanism 5 is provided above the equipment.

[0138] The use process of the automatic installation equipment for brake drum nuts in this embodiment is as follows: when the equipment is initialized, the position shifting motor 431 moves to the nut 7 discharge position, and after the clamping jaw conveying assembly 61 takes the nut 7 on the nut rotating table 623, the nut screwing mechanism 4 executes the nut 7 discharge process; after the nut 7 is placed in the cylinder 451, the roller installation platform 3 is notified to perform the line body conveying process; at the same time, the position shifting motor 431 moves to the tightening position, and after the line body tray 32 is in place, the tightening positioning pin cylinder 46 under the workpiece and the clamping cylinder 52 above the workpiece act at the same time to position the workpiece, and the clamping cylinder 52 can also support the bolt to prevent shaking during the tightening process, and the tightening lifting cylinder rises to bring the tightening shaft to the tightening position, and multiple tightening shafts are tightened at the same time. After the tightening is completed, the workpiece's clamping cylinder 52 and tightening positioning pin cylinder 46 return to their initial positions at the same time, and the tightening lifting cylinder descends to the initial position. Notify the roller line body to return to the line body position, and the position change motor 431 returns to its original position. At this point, the tightening process is completed.
