[0031] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the solution will be further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a press-fitting device, which includes a base 1, a pressing head assembly 3, a back-rest assembly, a switching mechanism, a press-fitting drive assembly 2, and a robot 7. The switching mechanism includes a slide rail 6 extending in the front-rear direction and a first drive mechanism. The slide rail 6 is arranged on the left side of the top surface of the base 1, and the press-fitting drive assembly 2 is slidably arranged on the slide rail 6. The first drive mechanism is used to drive the press-fitting drive assembly 2 to slide on the slide rail 6; the back-rest assembly includes a back-rest mounting assembly 4 and a plurality of back-rest mechanisms 5. The back-rest mounting assembly 4 includes a mounting seat 41, a back plate 42, and a second drive mechanism 44. The mounting seat is arranged on the right side of the top surface of the base, and a guide rail 43 parallel to the slide rail is provided on the left side of the mounting seat. The back plate 4 2 is slidingly arranged on the guide rail 43, and the second driving mechanism is used to drive the back plate to slide on the guide rail; each of the backing mechanisms 5 is arranged on the left side of the back plate 42 from front to back, and the backing mechanism is used to block the right side of the workpiece 8 to be pressed; there are multiple press head assemblies 3, and each of the press head assemblies is arranged on the top surface of the base and close to the slide rail from front to back, and the size specifications of the press head 31 in each press head assembly are different; the robot 7 is used to place the workpiece to be pressed on the top surface of the base, and make the workpiece to be pressed opposite to any one of the press head assemblies and located on the left side of each of the backing mechanisms; the press driving assembly is used to drive the press head of any one of the press head assemblies to move in the left and right directions to achieve press fitting.

[0033] The pressing device provided by the embodiment of the present invention, when in use, uses a robot 7 to place the workpiece 8 to be pressed on the top surface of the base, and makes the workpiece to be pressed opposite to a selected pressing head assembly and located on the left side of each back-rest mechanism, and then the first driving mechanism of the switching mechanism drives the pressing driving assembly 2 to move back and forth on the slide rail 6, so that the pressing driving assembly is opposite to the selected pressing head assembly, and at the same time, the second driving mechanism of the back-rest assembly drives each back-rest mechanism to move back and forth on the guide rail together with the back plate until the selected back-rest mechanism is placed behind the workpiece to be pressed, and then, the selected back-rest mechanism 5 is used to press the workpiece to be pressed. The rear side of the component is blocked to support the workpiece to be pressed, to ensure the force balance during the pressing process and to avoid its deviation during the pressing process, and then the pressing drive assembly starts to work, driving the ram of the selected ram assembly to move to the right and gradually approach the workpiece to be pressed until the bowl-shaped plug or steel ball is pressed on the workpiece to be pressed; after that, the pressing drive assembly and the ram are returned to their positions, and the robot 7 places the workpiece to be pressed in a position relative to the selected other ram assembly, and then performs the same pressing process as above; repeat the above action flow until all the bowl-shaped plugs and steel balls required for the workpiece are pressed. Since the rams of each ram assembly have different sizes, each ram can be adapted to bowl-shaped plugs or steel balls of different sizes. In this way, only a certain number of ram assemblies need to be selected for use, and the bowl-shaped plugs or steel balls of corresponding sizes can be pressed onto the workpiece to be pressed, so that the pressing device can easily realize the pressing of bowl-shaped plugs and steel balls of different sizes. At the same time, according to the different sizes of bowl-shaped plugs and steel balls that need to be pressed on different workpieces to be pressed, the required pressing head assembly can be flexibly selected for use, and the required back-supporting mechanism can be flexibly selected to support the workpiece to be pressed, so that the pressing device can be suitable for pressing different workpieces to be pressed, and its flexibility is good.

[0034] Furthermore, the press head assembly also includes a fixed seat 37 and a pressure rod 32 extending in the left-right direction. The bottom of the fixed seat 37 is connected to the top surface of the base. The pressure rod is slidably mounted on the top surface of the fixed seat. The press head is mounted on the right end of the pressure rod, and the left end of the pressure rod 32 is connected to the press drive assembly. This solution makes the structure of the press head assembly relatively simple and also conveniently realizes the sliding arrangement of the press head on the fixed seat.

[0035] Specifically, a sliding block 34 is provided on the bottom surface of the left end of the pressure rod 32, and a sliding groove is provided on the top surface of the fixed seat for slidingly cooperating with the sliding block 34. Two locking cylinders 35 are provided on the left end of the top surface of the fixed seat. The two locking cylinders are respectively located on either side of the sliding groove. The cylinder rods of the locking cylinders are provided with clamping plates 36. The cylinder rods of the locking cylinders are perpendicular to the pressure rod. The locking cylinders are used to push the clamping plates toward or away from the sliding groove. With this solution, after the press-fitting drive assembly drives the pressure head back to its original position, the two locking cylinders are activated, pushing the two clamping plates toward each other and clamping the sliding block, so that the sliding block can be locked in the specified position, thereby ensuring that the position of the pressure rod is relatively fixed.

[0036] Furthermore, the press-fit drive assembly includes a telescopic electric cylinder 21 and a mounting bracket. The telescopic electric cylinder 21 extends horizontally and is slidably mounted on the slide rail via the mounting bracket. The telescopic end of the telescopic electric cylinder is connected to the left end of the pressing rod 32. This arrangement simplifies the structure of the press-fit drive assembly. As will be understood, when the telescopic electric cylinder is in operation, it drives its telescopic end to move horizontally, thereby driving the pressing rod and pressing head to move horizontally, achieving the press-fit operation and returning the pressing head to its original position. The slideway extends horizontally, and the sliding block can slide left and right along the slideway.

[0037] Specifically, the telescopic end is provided with a T-joint, and the left end of the pressure rod is provided with a connecting block. The left side of the connecting block 33 is provided with a T-slot 38 for mate with the T-joint, and the T-slot extends in the front-to-back direction. With this solution, when the first drive mechanism drives the press-fit drive assembly to slide relative to a certain press head assembly, the T-joint slides into the T-slot of the press head assembly and locates in the middle of the T-slot, thereby conveniently achieving automatic docking between the telescopic cylinder and the pressure rod. Furthermore, this docking method between the telescopic cylinder and the pressure rod reduces the coaxiality requirements between the two and reduces the difficulty of debugging. Furthermore, because the locking cylinder can clamp the sliding block, it ensures that the connecting block is always in the set position, thereby ensuring that the telescopic cylinder and the pressure rod can dock smoothly every time.

[0038] Furthermore, the mounting frame includes a mounting base 23 and a mounting plate 24. The bottom surface of the mounting base 23 slides on the slide rail 6, and the mounting plate 24 is mounted on the top surface of the mounting base 23. The telescopic cylinder 21 is connected to the mounting plate 24, thereby simplifying the mounting frame structure and conveniently enabling the telescopic cylinder to slide on the slide rail. Specifically, the mounting plate can be a U-shaped plate with an opening facing left, and the telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder passes through the right baffle of the U-shaped plate and connects to a T-shaped joint.

[0039] Preferably, two slide rails 6 are relatively provided on the left side of the top surface of the base, and sliders are provided on the left and right sides of the bottom surface of the mounting base plate, and the two sliders slide in a one-to-one correspondence with the two slide rails 6.

[0040] In one embodiment, the first drive mechanism may include a drive motor 61 and a drive screw 62 coaxially connected to the output shaft of the drive motor. A drive block is disposed on the bottom surface of the mounting base 23, and the drive block is provided with a screw hole for threaded engagement with the drive screw 62. The drive screw is positioned between and parallel to the two slide rails, and the drive motor 61 is disposed at the rear end on the left side of the top surface of the base. In this embodiment, when the drive motor rotates, its output shaft drives the drive screw 62 to rotate accordingly. The threaded engagement between the drive screw 62 and the drive block causes the drive block to move forward and backward along the drive screw. The drive block then drives the mounting base and the telescopic cylinder to move forward and backward along the slide rails, thereby switching the telescopic cylinder to engage with the pressure rod of a different ram assembly. The drive motor may preferably be a servo motor.

[0041] Furthermore, the back-leaning mechanism includes a connecting frame and a back-leaning assembly. The right side plate 51 of the connecting frame is connected to the back plate, and at least two back-leaning assemblies are provided on the left side plate 52 of the connecting frame; the back-leaning assembly includes a linear cylinder 53, an elastic driving rod, and a connecting plate 54. The linear cylinder is provided on the left side plate 52, and the cylinder rod of the linear cylinder is provided to the right; the elastic driving rod is located below the linear cylinder and parallel to the linear cylinder 53, the left end of the elastic driving rod passes through the left side plate 52 and is located on the left side of the left side plate, the right end of the elastic driving rod is vertically connected to the lower end of the connecting plate 54, the connecting plate 54 is parallel to the left side plate, and the upper end of the connecting plate 54 is vertically connected to the right end of the cylinder rod of the linear cylinder 53. With this solution, when the linear cylinder is activated, its cylinder rod drives the connecting plate to move leftward, which in turn drives the elastic drive rod to move leftward via the connecting plate, causing the front end of the elastic drive rod to abut against the right side of the workpiece to be pressed, thereby providing support for the workpiece to be pressed. It will be appreciated that the specific number of backrest components in the backrest mechanism and their specific placement on the left side plate can be flexibly adjusted as needed.

[0042] Specifically, the elastic drive rod includes a push rod 55, a limiting ring 58, and a spring 57. The limiting ring 58 is mounted on the right section of the push rod. The right end of the push rod is inserted into the through hole at the lower end of the connecting plate. The spring 57 is arranged between the limiting ring 58 and the connecting plate 54. With this solution, when the left end 56 of the push rod contacts the workpiece to be pressed, the spring can provide a good buffering effect.

[0043] Preferably, the backrest assembly further includes a brake cylinder 59 provided on the left side plate, and the brake cylinder 59 is used to clamp the elastic drive rod. Since the machined surface of the workpiece to be pressed needs to be protected, the front end of the elastic drive rod generally abuts against the blank area of ​​the workpiece to be pressed; since the thrust of the elastic drive rod is relatively small and it also has a buffering effect, it will not cause damage to the workpiece to be pressed. It is sufficient to only achieve contact between the elastic drive rod and the workpiece to be pressed. After the two come into contact, the brake cylinder begins to fill with oil, clamping the elastic drive rod so that the elastic drive rod can no longer move left or right, thereby providing better support for the workpiece to be pressed.

[0044] In other embodiments, other locking mechanisms may be used to lock the elastic drive rod, as long as the locking mechanism can lock the elastic drive rod after the elastic drive rod contacts the workpiece to be pressed, thereby preventing it from moving left and right.

[0045] Due to the different shapes of the workpieces to be pressed, when it is necessary to press-fit bowl-shaped plugs or steel balls in different positions, the parts or positions on the right side of the workpiece to be pressed that can be contacted are also different. Therefore, it is necessary to set different back-rest mechanisms 5, back-rest components with different installation positions and different numbers. The specific structure of the above-mentioned back-rest mechanism provided by the present invention is only one embodiment. The specific structure of each back-rest mechanism can be flexibly set as needed to adapt to different workpieces to be pressed and better meet the support requirements of different workpieces to be pressed. In a specific embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, there are three back-leaning mechanisms 5. The two back-leaning mechanisms at the rear have the same overall structure, except that the specific setting positions of the back-leaning components are different. The back-leaning mechanism at the front has a different specific structure from the other two back-leaning mechanisms.

[0046] Specifically, there are two guide rails 43, which are disposed opposite each other on the upper and lower sides of the left side of the mounting base; the upper and lower sides of the right side of the back plate are respectively slidably engaged with the two guide rails. The specific structure of the second drive mechanism can be the same as that of the first drive mechanism and will not be repeated here.

[0047] Preferably, the robot 7 clamps the workpiece 8 to be pressed through the robot clamp 71, and then places the workpiece to be pressed on the top surface of the base; pressure displacement monitoring can be used during the pressing process to ensure that the pressing force of each bowl-shaped plug or steel ball is within the qualified range; after the pressing is completed, the pressure head returns to its position first, and then the counter-leaning mechanism retreats and separates from the workpiece to be pressed.

[0048] The present invention does not require manual change of the pressing head, and the position of the pressing drive assembly and the back-rest mechanism is adjustable. The driving motors of the first driving mechanism and the second driving mechanism can be controlled by the controller, and different pressing head assemblies and corresponding back-rest mechanisms can be flexibly selected for pressing operations to ensure that the force is balanced each time the pressing is performed, and deformation or damage caused by uneven force on the workpiece as a whole is avoided; the robot, linear cylinder, brake cylinder, telescopic electric cylinder and locking cylinder can all be electrically connected to the controller to achieve automatic control. The present invention uses a linear cylinder with a small force to drive the elastic driving rod to press the workpiece to be pressed, and locks the elastic driving rod through a clamping cylinder with a large contact surface, so that the entire pressing device is stable and reliable, and the selection of the support point is not limited to the shape characteristics of the workpiece, and the applicability is wider; a hole can be reserved on the top surface of the base for installing a new pressing head assembly. For the expansion of new models, it is only necessary to add a pressing head assembly and replace the robot fixture. The co-line production is easy, the transformation cycle is short, and the cost is low.

[0049] The present invention controls the pressing process in real time through a telescopic electric cylinder; the elastic floating support method is not limited by the shape of the workpiece, has a wide applicability, and is reliable in pressing. The structure of the pressing head assembly can be flexibly set to cover all pressing positions, angles, postures, etc., with higher flexibility, which can effectively reduce the modification cost and modification cycle required for the subsequent expansion of new models.

[0050] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be pointed out that these embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention. Moreover, after reading the contents of the present invention, relevant technical personnel in this field can make various changes or modifications to the present invention, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined by the claims attached to this application.
