Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of ball joint assembly line, and in particular to a four-station assembly line for ball joint pre-assembly and riveting. Background Technology
[0002] The ball joint assembly, also known as a ball joint thrust rod, is widely used in rear axle suspensions and air suspensions. Its main function is to maintain the relative position between the axle and the vehicle frame, and to transmit longitudinal and lateral forces, as well as torque. Connecting one end of the thrust rod to the axle and the other end to the frame reduces vibration and impact caused by uneven road surfaces, greatly ensuring passenger comfort and the integrity of transported goods. The ball joint thrust rod is primarily assembled using riveting technology. This riveting method utilizes a ball pin conveyor, a sealing cap placement device, and a riveting device. The ball pin conveyor transports the ball pin to the ball seat, the sealing cap placement device places the sealing cap on the ball seat, sealing the ball head in place, and then the riveting device rivets the ball seat, thus assembling the ball joint assembly. However, during the riveting process, riveting fixtures are required to fix the ball seat in the ball joint. Existing riveting fixtures are as follows: For example, patent application CN201510743366.2 discloses a type I automotive thrust rod integral riveting fixture and its riveting method. The fixture includes an upper mounting plate, a lower mounting plate, a floating plate, and upper and lower riveting dies respectively disposed on the upper and lower mounting plates. Two upper and two lower riveting dies are provided. The fixture also includes two ball-head slides slidably connected to the floating plate and two equal-height blocks disposed on the floating plate. Two slide power cylinders are also fixedly connected to the floating plate. Driven by the two slide power cylinders, the two ball-head slides can move relatively closer or relatively farther away along the floating plate. Two ball-head slides can drive two ball heads to be respectively fitted onto the two ends of the tube body; a vertical power cylinder is also provided on the floating plate. The lower riveting die passes through the floating plate. Under the action of the vertical power cylinder, the floating plate can move back and forth vertically. Both the slide power cylinder and the vertical power cylinder are hydraulic cylinders or pneumatic cylinders. This invention ensures the quality of the thrust rod body and can complete the overall riveting in one go. However, the structure is relatively complex and requires a high investment. Four power cylinders are needed to drive it for positioning, and the maintenance cost is high. The power cylinders need to be maintained regularly, especially the power cylinder for ball head positioning.
[0003] For example, patent publication number CN204247845U discloses a thrust rod riveting fixture, including a lower connecting plate, a rear positioning plate and a front positioning plate disposed on the lower connecting plate, a connecting pipe support, a lower left support seat, a lower right support seat and a pressure plate on the lower connecting plate, and an upper connecting plate. Two riveting upper dies are symmetrically disposed at the bottom of the upper connecting plate, and the two riveting upper dies are symmetrically disposed between the left and right lower support seats. A left riveting die and a right riveting die are disposed between the two riveting upper dies, and the left riveting die and the right riveting die are symmetrical. The components are arranged on both sides of the line connecting the left and right lower support seats. The left riveting die is connected to the middle of the left lower support seat through the left tie rod, and the right riveting die is connected to the middle of the right lower support seat through the right tie rod. The structure of this invention is simple and easy to operate. It can effectively improve the riveting accuracy and stability of the thrust rod, effectively improve the riveting efficiency of the thrust rod, and save manpower to a certain extent. It has good applicability and strong practicality. However, the rising structure has poor adaptability to the size of the thrust rod and cannot clamp and position thrust rods of different lengths. For example, patent publication number CN209021086U discloses a thrust rod hot riveting device, including a heating device and a pressurizing device. The heating device includes a conveyor frame, a conveyor platform, a conveyor bar, a limiting baffle, and a conveying component. The conveying component includes a bracket assembly locked on the limiting baffle and a conveying plate set on the bracket assembly. The conveying plate is located above the conveyor bar. The pressurizing device includes a pressurizing frame, a hydraulic press, a pressurizing platform, and a riveting assembly. The riveting assembly includes a pressurizing seat set on the pressurizing frame via a column, an upper template set on the pressurizing seat, an upper riveting seat set on the upper template, a lower template set on the pressurizing platform, and a lower riveting seat set on the lower template. The hydraulic press is set above the pressurizing frame via a column, and the output piston rod of the hydraulic press is connected to the pressurizing seat. The column passes through the pressurizing seat, and the pressurizing seat can move up and down along the column. This invention can save the space occupied by the plane and improve the pressurizing riveting effect. However, the riveting of the thrust rod is carried out from the heating and positioning process, and the equipment process is more complicated. It has a large difference from this invention in terms of structure and process. In summary, this invention proposes a four-station assembly line for pre-riveting ball heads. This ensures that the holes inside the ball head are precisely aligned with the ball pin conveying device, sealing cap placement device, and riveting device, guaranteeing that the center hole of each ball seat is always in the same position. This ensures that the ball head conveying device, sealing cap placement device, and riveting device are always installed in the same position as the ball seat. This method is suitable for mass production of the same type of ball seat, reducing the number of defective ball head assemblies caused by inaccurate positioning. It precisely controls the installation position of each component during ball head assembly installation, thereby indirectly improving the installation quality of the ball head assembly and reducing inconsistencies in quality accuracy caused by the relative positions of different components. Furthermore, it is applicable to the positioning of connecting rods on ball seats of different lengths. Summary of the Invention
