Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of clutches, in particular to an automatic assembly line for a clutch push rod assembly. Background Art

[0002] In the traditional production process of clutch push rod assembly, manual assembly is mainly relied on, which not only has low production efficiency, but also makes it difficult to ensure assembly accuracy and consistency. At the same time, there are high safety risks in the manual assembly process, and the technical level and physical strength of the operator are required to be high, resulting in high labor costs.

[0003] In order to improve production efficiency, reduce labor costs and improve assembly quality, the industry began to explore the application of automated assembly lines. However, early automated assembly lines still had some shortcomings in design and implementation. For example, the connection between the material conveyor and the assembly station was not smooth enough, which caused the material to be stuck or misplaced during the conveying process; the design of the connecting rod and the drive disc was not reasonable enough, making the assembly action not precise and stable enough; the distribution of the fixing slots and the position arrangement of the fixing rods were not optimized enough, which affected the assembly efficiency and flexibility. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the problems existing in the above-mentioned background technology, the present invention patent aims to propose an innovative solution, namely, an automated assembly line for a clutch push rod assembly.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions: an automated assembly line for a clutch push rod assembly, comprising a first bracket, a connecting tube assembly device, a first conveying device, a second bracket, a rubber tube assembly device and a second conveying device, wherein the connecting tube assembly device is installed at the bottom of a top fixing plate of the first bracket, the first conveying device is installed at the front surface of the first bracket, the connecting tube assembly device is located directly above the first conveying device, the second bracket is located at one side of the first bracket, the rubber tube assembly device is installed at the bottom of a top fixing plate of the second bracket, the second conveying device is fixedly connected to the front surface of the second bracket, the rubber tube assembly device is located directly above the second conveying device, a fixed bracket is provided below the first conveying device, and the fixed bracket A driving device is installed on the top of the frame, and the driving end of the driving device is fixedly connected to a driving rod, and an end of the driving rod away from the driving device is fixedly connected to a fixed shell, and the fixed shell is penetrated and rotatably connected with a rotating rod, and the upper and lower ends of the rotating rod are fixedly connected to material trays, and the two material trays are symmetrically arranged, and a driving disk is arranged inside the fixed shell, and a plurality of fixing grooves are penetrated and opened on the outer surface of the driving disk, and the inner top wall and inner bottom wall of the fixed shell are fixedly connected to a servo motor, and the two servo motors are symmetrically arranged around the center, and the driving end of the servo motor is fixedly connected to a driving shaft, and the end of the driving shaft away from the servo motor is fixedly connected to a connecting rod, and the end of the connecting rod close to the driving disk is fixedly connected to the fixing rod, and the fixing rod is movably clamped in the fixing groove.

[0006] Preferably, the two material trays are in contact with the first conveying device and the second conveying device respectively.

[0007] Preferably, the two connecting rods are respectively located above and below the driving disk.

[0008] Preferably, the plurality of fixing grooves are distributed in a circular array with the central axis of the rotating rod as the center.

[0009] Preferably, the two fixing rods are respectively located on both sides of the rotating rod.

[0010] Preferably, the material tray is provided with a plurality of material clamping slots.

[0011] Working principle: When a clutch push rod assembly automated assembly line is used, first, the push rod is loaded onto the first conveyor. This step ensures that the push rod enters the assembly process in an orderly manner. Next, the connecting tube assembly device accurately assembles the connecting tube to one end of the push rod. This step is an important part of the clutch push rod assembly and ensures a firm connection between the push rod and the connecting tube. After the connecting tube is assembled, the first conveyor transfers the push rod to the material tray located above the fixed housing. The clamping device on the material tray fixes the push rod to ensure that the push rod does not move or fall off during the subsequent assembly process. The drive shaft is driven by a servo motor, which in turn drives the connecting rod and the fixed rod to rotate. When the fixed rod is clamped into the fixed groove on the drive disk, the servo motor continues to drive the fixed rod to rotate the drive disk in an intermittent cycle. This rotation is transmitted to the material tray through the rotating rod, so that the material clamping groove on the material tray clamps multiple push rods in sequence. Next, the drive device drives the rotating rod on the fixed housing to drive the material tray to rotate 180 degrees. This step realizes the transposition of the two material trays located above and below the fixed housing, so that the upper and lower ends of the push rods on the material tray are interchangeable. In this way, the end equipped with the connecting cylinder is located below the material tray, which facilitates the subsequent assembly of the rubber cylinder. After the material tray is transposed, the servo motor drives the corresponding fixed rod to disengage from the fixed groove. At this time, another servo motor drives another fixed rod to rotate and snap into the fixed groove to prepare for the subsequent rotation of the material tray. The servo motor drives the fixed rod again to drive the material tray to rotate, so that the material tray clamped with the push rod transfers the push rod in the material clamping groove to the second conveyor in turn. Then, the rubber cylinder assembly equipment assembles the rubber cylinder to the upper end of the push rod on the second conveyor. After the above steps, the clutch push rod assembly automated assembly line completes the entire process from push rod loading to rubber cylinder assembly. This process ensures the precise, efficient and automated production of the clutch push rod assembly.

[0012] The present invention provides an automatic assembly line for a clutch push rod assembly, which has the following beneficial effects: 1. The automated assembly line significantly shortens the production cycle of the clutch push rod assembly through continuous material delivery and precise assembly movements. Compared with traditional manual assembly, the automated assembly line can produce at a higher speed, thereby greatly improving overall production efficiency.

[0013] 2. The precise control system driven by the servo motor ensures that the connecting cylinder, rubber cylinder and other components can be assembled to the push rod accurately. This high-precision assembly not only improves the overall quality of the product, but also ensures the performance consistency of each clutch push rod assembly, meeting strict industrial standards.

[0014] 3. Automated assembly lines reduce reliance on manual operations, thereby reducing labor costs. At the same time, due to the high degree of automation of the assembly process, operators only need to perform simple monitoring and maintenance, which reduces the requirements for operating skills and the possibility of human error.

[0015] 4. The design of the automated assembly line allows for quick adjustment of assembly processes and parameters to accommodate the production needs of clutch push rod assemblies of different models and specifications. This flexibility enables the production line to respond quickly to market changes and meet diverse customer needs. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
