Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of assembly equipment, and in particular relates to a reducer oil seal precision press-fitting and air tightness detection device and method. Background Art

[0002] The rotating shaft lip rubber seal, i.e., the oil seal, is the core component of the cycloidal pinwheel reducer for robots. Its main function is to prevent the leakage of media such as lubricating oil and grease inside the reducer, and to prevent external dust and moisture from invading the sealing mechanism, so as to ensure the normal operation of the machine under good lubrication conditions. Since the advent of the oil seal, it has become an indispensable component of the reducer due to its simple structure and good sealing effect. The assembly accuracy of the oil seal installation process and the airtightness leakage value of the reducer after the oil seal is installed are directly related to the sealing performance and service life of the reducer. Therefore, during the assembly process of the reducer and when the whole machine is offline, the assembly of the oil seal and the airtightness test of the reducer are the top priorities of the reducer quality control. At present, most large-scale robots use cycloidal pinwheel reducers with a mass of 30Kg and an outer diameter of 300+mm. The press-fitting and airtightness testing of the oil seal are two independent separate operations. During the process, there are problems such as difficulty in carrying the reducer and assembly and testing tooling, difficulty in oil seal assembly, low pass rate, difficulty in airtightness testing, and low efficiency of oil seal assembly and testing. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a high-precision and efficient oil seal assembly and airtightness testing equipment to solve the pain points and difficulties of oil seal press-fitting and airtightness testing of cycloidal pinwheel reducers for large-scale robots.

[0010] As a preferred solution of the present invention, the detection equipment also includes a buzzer; the buzzer is connected to the press-fitting data display and the airtightness data display respectively. When the pressure and displacement of the target position displayed by the press-fitting data display are not within the range or the leakage value displayed by the airtightness data display is not within the qualified range, the buzzer alarms.

[0035] A specific test plan for the precision press-fitting of the oil seal of a cycloid pinwheel reducer for a robot and the air tightness detection equipment of the reducer is as follows:

[0036] Specific implementation plan for the transfer mechanism and equipment operation of the loading station:

[0037] The operator uses a truss to place the reducer on the jig lower die 2. The lower die is provided with a loading nylon guide block 33, and the guide block is provided with a 45° slope. The loading process ensures that the reducer slides accurately into the positioning hole of the jig lower die 2 on the transfer mechanism, and the oil seal guide 38 is installed on the reducer, and the oil seal 39 is placed in the oil seal guide 38. The operator uses a QR code scanner 10 to scan the QR code on the reducer, and the QR code information is entered into the system. The operator starts the equipment by operating the equipment master control mechanism 12, and the servo motor 25 in the transfer mechanism is started, and the screw nut 27 and the ball screw 28 are used to drag the mobile plate from the loading station to the pressing station and the air tightness test station for operation. After the oil seal is pressed at the pressing station, the transfer station performs an air tightness test on the reducer. After the air tightness test is qualified, the transfer station returns the reducer to the loading station.

[0038] Specific implementation plan for precision press-fitting of oil seals at the press-fitting station:

[0039] The material of the oil seal guide 38 tooling is high-strength polyamide fiber, and the moderate hardness and strength ensure the best possible protection of the oil seal during operation. Figure 7As shown: the upper hole D1 is located in the upper part of the hole of the oil seal guide, and the lower hole D2 is located in the lower part of the oil seal guide. The diameter of the upper part of the oil seal guide is larger than that of the oil seal, and the clearance is matched. When loading, the oil seal can be buried in the upper hole D1, which is convenient for the initial alignment of the press-fitting. The diameter of the lower part of the oil seal guide is consistent with the size of the oil seal cavity, and it can be accurately aligned and pressed into the oil seal cavity during press-fitting. The inner hole and the end face are designed to be an arc transition, and the R angle value is 2±0.5mm to ensure that the oil seal is protected from bumps and scratches when the reducer is loaded. The upper hole D1 of the oil seal guide is 0.1-0.2mm larger than the maximum diameter of the oil seal, and the depth L3 of the hole with diameter D1 is 2-3mm larger than the maximum width of the oil seal, ensuring that the oil seal can be freely buried in the upper hole D1 at the beginning, and the lower hole D2 of the oil seal guide 38 is consistent with the design size of the reducer oil seal cavity, ensuring that the oil seal can smoothly enter the reducer oil seal cavity during the pressing process. Figure 6 As shown, the aperture size D3 of the oil seal gland 37 is 1.5-2mm larger than the diameter of the outer circle of the reducer oil seal block. The end face of the oil seal gland 37 is designed to transition with the inner and outer circles in an arc, and the transition arc R angle value is 2±0.5mm, which ensures that the oil seal gland 37 is prevented from being bumped, scratched, or flanging when the oil seal 39 is pressed. The depth dimension L2 of the oil seal gland 37 is 0.5±0.1mm larger than the depth dimension L1 of the oil seal guide, and at the same time, the parallelism of the two end surfaces of the oil seal guide and the oil seal gland in the depth direction is within 0.03mm. During the press-fitting operation, it can ensure that the elastic deformation of the rubber can be compensated so that the oil seal gland is pressed into the limit position of the reducer cavity, and at the same time, it can ensure that the maximum pressure applied by the gland during the press-fitting operation is borne by the reducer instead of the oil seal, and the press-fitting parallelism of the oil seal after it is pressed into place can be ensured to avoid defects such as deflection, protrusion, and flanging of the oil seal.

[0040] The press-fitting servo mechanism 24 is provided with a pressure sensor and a grating ruler, which can accurately control and measure the pressure and displacement. The press-fitting program includes 4 sections: fast feeding stage, slow press-fitting stage, pressure holding stage, and fast return stage. The 4-section program control ensures that the oil seal is accurately pressed into the reducer oil seal cavity; the servo press-fitting system includes two sections of judgment programs in the slow press-fitting stage: judging the pressure and displacement from the target position to the position of half the oil seal width, and judging the pressure and displacement at the target position. Ensure that the pressure and displacement at the judgment position are within the design range. If the program determines that the oil seal is press-fitted, it will flow to the airtightness detection station, otherwise it will be NG. When NG, the reducer will return to the loading station through the operating mechanism, and the buzzer 40 of the equipment will alarm. In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the oil seal guide and the airtight upper die are structurally designed to ensure that after the oil seal guide is press-fitted, the airtightness jig upper die and the oil seal guide are not interfered; ensure that after the oil seal is press-fitted, the oil seal guide does not need to be unloaded, and the airtightness test can also be performed.

[0041] Specific implementation plan for air tightness testing at air tightness testing station:

[0042] The upper mold 29 of the air tightness test jig is connected to the pressure-maintaining cylinder 22, two gas spring support rods 21 and the pressure plate. The upper mold of the jig is provided with a jig gas injection hole 34 for the gas inlet channel. The position in contact with the reducer is provided with an upper mold silicone gasket 35. The position in contact with the reducer by the jig lower mold 2 is provided with a lower mold sealing silicone pad 36. The air pipe joint connects the air source, the upper mold 29 of the air tightness test jig and the air tightness detection controller 19 through the air pipe. After the reducer oil seal pressing procedure is completed, the transfer mechanism connects the reducer to the air tightness test station. The pressure-maintaining cylinder 22 presses the upper mold 29 of the jig downward. During the pressing process, the jig bracket 30 of the upper mold is pressed into the jig lower mold 2. At this time, the silicone gasket 35 of the upper mold and the sealing silicone pad 36 of the lower mold are fully in contact with the reducer and are in an extreme compression state, and the pressure-maintaining cylinder 22 maintains pressure.

[0043] The air tightness detection controller 19 injects the air from the air source into the reducer cavity through the air injection hole 34 of the jig through the air pipe. The air tightness detection program includes four sections: air injection, pressure stabilization, detection, and air release. By setting a section judgment program in the detection stage, the leakage value of the detection stage is determined. The leakage value of the detection stage is: the difference between the initial pressure of the gas in the detection stage and the final pressure at the end of the stage is the leakage value. When the pressure difference is within a reasonable range, the pressure-maintaining cylinder 22 is deflated, and the gas spring support rod 21 returns to the initial position with the jig upper mold. The leakage value is displayed on the air tightness data display 20. If the leakage value is within the qualified range, the transfer mechanism transfers the reducer to the loading station. If the leakage value exceeds the tolerance, the buzzer 40 alarms, and the transfer mechanism transfers the reducer to the loading station. At this time, the operator uses a truss to move the reducer to the next process, and reloads a new reducer for oil seal press-fitting and air tightness detection.

[0049] It can be seen from Tables 1 and 2 that the use of the reducer oil seal precision press-fitting and air tightness testing equipment of the present invention to oil seal the reducer reduces the reducer clamping time and work intensity, and the oil seal press-fitting has high precision. In the multiple groups of reducer air tightness tests shown in Table 2, the pass rate reached 100%; the pain points and difficulties of oil seal press-fitting and air tightness testing of wheel reducers are solved.

[0050] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present invention, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

If the pressure and displacement are qualified, the reducer is transported to the air tightness detection station through the feeding station operation mechanism. If not, the reducer is re-operated to the feeding station through the feeding station operation mechanism for re-loading. 4) After the oil seal is pressed and installed successfully, the reducer moves to the air tightness test station. The upper mold of the reducer fixture is pressed down after the pressure-maintaining cylinder provides power and clamps the reducer to be tested on the air tightness test station; the air tightness test controller controls the air source to inflate the reducer cavity with the air pressure and time set by the reducer air tightness manual operation mechanism. After the inflation is completed, the air tightness test controller stabilizes the pressure of the reducer. After the pressure stabilization is completed, the air tightness test controller performs an air tightness test on the reducer within the specified time to detect the pressure difference within the specified time; if the pressure difference is within the verification range, it means that the air tightness test is qualified and the reducer is moved to the next process. If it is unqualified, the loading station operation mechanism will re-operate the reducer to the loading station for re-loading.
