Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of pneumatic component assembly technology, specifically a pneumatic component assembly device and assembly method. Background Technology
[0002] Pneumatic components are devices that perform work using the force generated by the pressure or expansion of gas; that is, they are mechanical parts that convert the elastic energy of compressed air into kinetic energy. Examples include cylinders, pneumatic motors, and steam engines. Pneumatic components are a form of power transmission and also an energy conversion device, utilizing gas pressure to transfer energy. During installation, pneumatic components need to be tightly fastened to their housing, which requires the use of specialized equipment.
[0003] Publication No. CN 117161716 B discloses an automatic positioning electrical component assembly device, belonging to the field of electrical component assembly technology. It includes two base plates and a horizontal plate positioned between them. A lifting and positioning assembly is located above the horizontal plate for clamping and positioning the electrical components to be processed. Fixed guide assemblies, fixedly connected to the base plates, are located on both sides of the lifting and positioning assembly. Telescopic assemblies are located on both sides of the fixed guide assemblies. A conveyor belt for transporting the electrical components is fitted around the lifting and positioning assembly, fixed guide assemblies, and telescopic assemblies. This conveyor belt transports the bottom shell of the electrical components to be assembled. A receiving assembly is located above the conveyor belt. This invention facilitates automatic unloading and receiving of materials during assembly, as well as rapid pressing assembly. Furthermore, it clamps and positions the bottom shell during assembly, ensuring efficient and accurate assembly, thus facilitating the smooth and efficient assembly of electrical components.
[0004] However, the assembly device has the following shortcomings. When the device is in use, it can quickly press the outer shell onto the component, but often the buckle position between the pneumatic component and the outer shell cannot be perfectly aligned. This causes the buckle on the outer shell to not align with the buckle on the component, resulting in the buckle being prone to misalignment, bending and breaking during pressing. The outer shell cannot fully fit the pneumatic component, and the assembly effect is poor.
[0005] To address these issues, the present invention provides a pneumatic component assembly device and assembly method. Summary of the Invention

[0017] This invention also provides a method for assembling pneumatic components:
[0018] S1: First, place the pneumatic component to be assembled in the storage box. Then, drive the bidirectional threaded rod to rotate, so that the two pressure plates installed on different threaded surfaces move closer to each other. During this process, the abutment will move into the storage box, so that it can contact the pneumatic component and increase the clamping force on the pneumatic component as it continues to move. At the same time, the pressure plate can drive the C-shaped clamping plate to move closer to each other through the connecting rod until it covers the top of the pneumatic component, leaving space to fit the housing. Then, start the second servo motor to control the installation box to move the pneumatic component to the working area of the gripper cylinder.
[0019] S2: By controlling the transmission equipment, the outer shell placed on top is intermittently moved towards the column. At the same time, it moves along the guide direction of the guide frame until it touches the baffle. Then, the fourth servo motor controls the bogie to rotate 180 degrees, so that the gripper cylinder rotates to the upper part of the gap between the guide frame and the baffle. Then, the third servo motor is started, so that the gripper cylinder descends smoothly until the gripper cylinder is close to the outer shell. At this time, the gripper cylinder can grasp it. Then, the third servo motor drives the gripper cylinder to reset, and the fourth servo motor drives the bogie to reset. At this time, the gripper cylinder will move the outer shell to the upper part of the pneumatic component. Then, the third servo motor drives the gripper cylinder to descend, so that it places the outer shell at the docking position between the pneumatic component and the outer shell, and at the same time between the two C-shaped clamping plates.
[0020] S3: Start the second servo motor to move the mounting box to the working area of the pressing block. At this time, start the fifth servo motor, which will cause the two extension rods to drive the support plate to descend synchronously. The pressing block will move downward until it touches the outer shell. The protrusion at the bottom of the pressing block will press the shell and the buckle position of the pneumatic component, pressing the shell tightly against the pneumatic component. Then reset. Then the second servo motor will drive the mounting box to reset, and the first servo motor will drive the C-shaped clamping plate to reset. At this time, the assembled pneumatic component can be removed.

[0045] Example 3:
[0046] The present invention also provides a method for assembling pneumatic components, the steps of which are as follows: S1: First, the pneumatic component to be assembled is placed in the storage box 4. Then, the bidirectional threaded rod 5 is rotated by the drive component, so that the two pressure plates 6 installed on different threaded surfaces are brought closer to each other. During this process, the abutment block 13 will move into the storage box 4, so as to contact the pneumatic component and increase the clamping force on the pneumatic component as it continues to move. At the same time, the pressure plate 6 can drive the U-shaped clamping plate 8 to move closer to each other through the connecting rod 7 until it covers the top of the pneumatic component, leaving space that is compatible with the outer shell. Then, the second servo motor 18 is started to control the installation box 3 to move and move the pneumatic component to the working area of the gripper cylinder 28.
[0047] S2: By controlling the transmission device 35, the outer casing placed on top of it is moved intermittently towards the column 21. At the same time, it moves along the guide direction of the guide frame 36 until it touches the baffle 37. Then, the fourth servo motor 32 controls the bogie 23 to rotate 180 degrees, so that the gripper cylinder 28 rotates to the upper part of the gap between the guide frame 36 and the baffle 37. Then, the third servo motor 25 is started, so that the gripper cylinder 28 descends smoothly until it is close to the outer casing. At this time, the gripper cylinder 28 can grasp it. Then, the third servo motor 25 drives the gripper cylinder 28 to reset, and the fourth servo motor 32 drives the bogie 23 to reset. At this time, the gripper cylinder 28 will bring the outer casing to the top of the pneumatic component. Then, the third servo motor 25 drives the gripper cylinder 28 to descend, so that it places the outer casing at the docking position between the pneumatic component and the outer casing, and at the same time between the two C-shaped clamping plates 8.
[0048] S3: Restart the second servo motor 18 to move the mounting box 3 to the working area of the pressing block 42. At this time, start the fifth servo motor 47, which will cause the two extension rods 40 to drive the support plate 41 to descend synchronously. At this time, the pressing block 42 will move downward until it touches the outer shell. The protrusion at the bottom of the pressing block 42 will press the shell and the buckle position of the pneumatic component, pressing the shell tightly against the pneumatic component. Then, it will be reset. Then, the second servo motor 18 will drive the mounting box 3 to reset, and the first servo motor 16 will drive the U-shaped clamping plate 8 to reset. At this time, the assembled pneumatic component can be removed.
[0049] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.
[0050] Working principle: In use, the operator first places the pneumatic component to be assembled into the storage box 4, and then controls the bidirectional threaded rod 5 to rotate through the drive assembly. The bidirectional threaded rod 5 drives the two pressure plates 6 installed on its different thread surfaces to move closer to each other. During this process, the abutment block 13 will move into the storage box 4, thereby contacting the pneumatic component and increasing the clamping force on the pneumatic component as it continues to move. At the same time, the two pressure plates 6 can drive the U-shaped clamping plate 8 to move closer to each other through the connecting rod 7 until it covers the top of the pneumatic component, leaving space to fit the outer shell. Then, the second servo motor 18 is started. The second servo motor 18 drives the threaded plate 6 through the first threaded rod 19 to move closer to the pneumatic component. The connected T-shaped slider 2 moves, causing the mounting box 3 to move, moving the pneumatic component to the working area of the gripper cylinder 28. Then, by manipulating the transmission device 35, the housing placed above it is intermittently moved towards the column 21, while simultaneously moving along the guide direction of the guide frame 36 until it abuts against the baffle 37. Then, the fourth servo motor 32 drives the meshing gear ring 31 to rotate via the drive gear 33. The gear ring 31 drives the bogie 23 to rotate 180 degrees, rotating the gripper cylinder 28 above the gap between the guide frame 36 and the baffle 37. Then, the third servo motor 25 is activated. The servo motor 25 drives the lifting sleeve 27, which is threadedly connected to it, to descend via the second threaded rod 26, causing the gripper cylinder 28 to descend smoothly until it is close to the outer shell. At this point, the gripper cylinder 28 is activated to grasp the outer shell. Subsequently, the third servo motor 25 drives the gripper cylinder 28 to reset, and the fourth servo motor 32 drives the bogie 23 to reset. At this point, the gripper cylinder 28 will bring the outer shell above the pneumatic components. The third servo motor 25 then drives the gripper cylinder 28 to descend again, placing the outer shell at the docking position between the pneumatic components and the outer shell, simultaneously between the two U-shaped clamping plates 8. Finally, the second servo motor 18 is activated to move the mounting box 3 to the pressing block. In the working area of 42, the fifth servo motor 47 is started. The fifth servo motor 47 drives the two linkage gears 46 meshing with it to rotate through the transmission shaft 48 and the transmission gear 49. The linkage gears 46 drive the connected third threaded rod 44 to rotate. At this time, the two extension rods 40 drive the support plate 41 to descend synchronously. The pressing block 42 will move downward until it touches the outer shell. The protrusion at the bottom of the pressing block 42 presses the outer shell and the buckle position of the pneumatic component, pressing the outer shell tightly against the pneumatic component. Then it is reset. Then the second servo motor 18 drives the mounting box 3 to reset, and the first servo motor 16 drives the C-shaped clamping plate 8 to reset. At this time, the assembled pneumatic component can be removed.

6. A method for assembling pneumatic components, comprising a pneumatic component assembly apparatus according to any one of claims 1-5, characterized in that, Includes the following steps: S1: First, place the pneumatic component to be assembled in the storage box (4). Then, drive the bidirectional threaded rod (5) to rotate, so that the two pressure plates (6) installed on different threaded surfaces come closer to each other. During this process, the abutment (13) will move into the storage box (4) so that it can contact the pneumatic component and increase the clamping force on the pneumatic component as it continues to move. Then, start the second servo motor (18) to control the installation box (3) to move and move the pneumatic component to the working area of the gripper cylinder (28). S2: By manipulating the transmission device (35), the outer casing placed on top of it is moved intermittently towards the column (21), while it moves along the guide direction of the guide frame (36) until it touches the baffle (37). Then, the fourth servo motor (32) is used to control the bogie (23) to rotate 180 degrees, so that the gripper cylinder (28) rotates to the upper part of the gap between the guide frame (36) and the baffle (37). Then, the third servo motor (25) is started, so that the gripper cylinder (28) descends smoothly until... When the gripper cylinder (28) is close to the outer shell, it can grip the outer shell. Then, the gripper cylinder (28) is reset by the third servo motor (25), and the fourth servo motor (32) is reset by the bogie (23). At this time, the gripper cylinder (28) will move the outer shell above the pneumatic component. Then, the gripper cylinder (28) will be lowered by the third servo motor (25) so that the outer shell is placed at the docking position between the pneumatic component and the outer shell, and at the same time between the two C-shaped clamping plates (8). S3: Restart the second servo motor (18) to move the mounting box (3) to the working area of the pressing block (42). At this time, start the fifth servo motor (47) so that the two extension rods (40) can drive the support plate (41) to descend synchronously. At this time, the pressing block (42) will move down until it touches the outer shell. Press the shell and the buckle position of the pneumatic component by the protrusion at the bottom of the pressing block (42) to press the shell against the pneumatic component. Then reset it. Then drive the mounting box (3) to reset by the second servo motor (18) and drive the U-shaped clamping plate (8) to reset by the first servo motor (16). At this time, the assembled pneumatic component can be removed.
