Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of mechanical assembly, and particularly to an automatic assembly device for a torque converter. Background Art

[0002] A torque converter consists of a pump impeller, a turbine, a one-way clutch, a stator, and a converter housing that contains all these components. The torque converter is filled with automatic transmission fluid provided by an oil pump. When the engine and the pump impeller rotate, the fluid flow in the liquid flows out of the pump impeller, causing the turbine to rotate.

[0003] However, in the incoming material packaging of the torque converter, the shaft head of the torque converter faces downward, while in the gearbox, the shaft head faces upward, and the two directions are opposite. It is necessary to manually flip the torque converter by 180°, that is, the shaft head faces upward, to facilitate the assembly after the torque converter is on the production line. However, the weight of the torque converter is close to 20 kg, resulting in a large labor intensity. At the same time, oil will drip to the ground during the assembly process, and there is a risk of the operator slipping, posing a safety hazard. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an automatic assembly device for a torque converter to overcome the existing defects of large labor intensity and safety hazards; the purpose of reducing labor intensity and reducing safety hazards is achieved.

[0005] To solve the above technical problem, the technical solution of the present invention is: an automatic assembly device for a torque converter, including a torque converter conveying line body, a gearbox conveying line body, and a rotary assembly manipulator. A tray is arranged on the torque converter conveying line body. There are a transfer manipulator jaw, a first alignment device, and a buffer table between the torque converter conveying line body and the gearbox conveying line body. An oil receiving tray is arranged below the buffer table, and the first alignment device is on the side close to the gearbox conveying line body.

[0006] Further, a first frame is arranged at one end of the gearbox conveying line body. A transverse movement device is arranged on the first frame, and a second lifting device is arranged on the transverse movement device. The rotary assembly manipulator is arranged on the second lifting device. The transverse movement device drives the rotary assembly manipulator to move horizontally, and the second lifting device drives the rotary assembly manipulator to move vertically.

[0007] Further, a second frame is also arranged on the gearbox conveying line body. A first lifting device is arranged on the second frame, and a second alignment device is arranged on the first lifting device.

[0008] Further, the tray includes a base, a quick-change head is detachably arranged on the base, a plurality of support columns are evenly arranged on the outer periphery of the quick-change head, and a groove is arranged on the quick-change head.

[0009] Further, the buffer table includes a first bracket. An oil receiving box is provided at the top of the first bracket. One end of the oil receiving box is open. A positioning seat is arranged on the first bracket. The positioning seat penetrates through the oil receiving box to position and buffer the torque converter.

[0010] A rubber pad is also arranged between the first bracket and the positioning seat. A first connecting rod is vertically arranged on the upper part of the first bracket. The other end of the first connecting rod is vertically provided with a second connecting rod. A first photoelectric switch is fixedly arranged at the upper end of the second connecting rod.

[0011] Further, the rotary assembly manipulator includes a second bracket. A servo reduction motor, a lifting cylinder, an anti-rotation block, a first switch bracket and a second switch bracket are arranged on the second bracket. A second connecting plate is arranged below the lifting cylinder. The lifting cylinder drives the second connecting plate to move up and down. A first induction block is arranged on the first switch bracket. A second induction block is arranged on the second switch bracket.

[0012] Further, a driving pulley and a driven pulley are arranged below the first switch bracket. The driving pulley and the driven pulley are connected to the servo reduction motor. The driving pulley and the driven pulley are connected and driven by a rotating belt. A first connecting plate is arranged below the driving pulley. A detection switch is arranged on the first connecting plate. A rotary assembly manipulator jaw is arranged below the first connecting plate.

[0013] Further, the transfer manipulator jaw includes a gripper, a mounting plate and a clamping plate arranged on the gripper. The gripper is arranged on the mounting plate. A fourth switch bracket is arranged on the mounting plate. A proximity switch is arranged on the fourth switch bracket. An induction plate is also arranged on the gripper.

[0014] Further, the torque converter conveying line body is arranged in parallel with the gearbox conveying line body.

[0015] An unqualified material channel is arranged between the torque converter conveying line body and the buffer table.

[0016] Further, a barcode scanner is arranged on the rotary assembly manipulator.

[0017] Adopting the above technical solutions, compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: The present invention places the torque converter with the shaft head facing downwards on the tray, which is consistent with the incoming material packaging direction of the torque converter, avoiding manual flipping of the torque converter. Only manual feeding of the torque converter onto the tray is required, greatly reducing the labor intensity of the operator.

[0018] A transfer manipulator jaw and an oil receiving tray are provided. The transfer manipulator jaw clamps the torque converter for oil control, which can reduce the work intensity brought by manual oil control. The oil receiving tray prevents oil from dripping onto the ground. At the same time, the oil receiving tray can collect and filter the oil for reuse, reducing the cost of gearbox oil.

[0019] The hydraulic torque converter is loaded onto the production line using a tray. The direction is with the shaft head facing downwards and the oil port facing upwards, avoiding the situation of oil dripping downwards from the traditional assembly oil port direction, and reducing potential safety hazards.

[0020] The transportation of the hydraulic torque converter and the assembly of the hydraulic torque converter are carried out simultaneously, improving production efficiency.

[0021] The tray is provided with a detachable quick-change head. When the model of the hydraulic torque converter needs to be changed, only the quick-change head needs to be replaced, enabling rapid model change.

[0022] The gripper of the transfer manipulator grabs the outer circumference of the hydraulic torque converter, replacing the traditional gripper that grabs the shaft head position. It can be compatible with more models of hydraulic torque converters, avoiding frequent replacement of the gripper due to changes in the shaft head structure and dimensions of the hydraulic torque converter, increasing the manufacturing cost of the gripper, and at the same time increasing the gripper replacement time, resulting in waste of production capacity.

[0043] The buffer table 5 can adopt various arrangement modes, as long as it is within the operating range of the transfer manipulator jaw 40.

[0044] The rotary assembly manipulator 3 includes a second support 23. A servo reduction motor 27, a lifting cylinder 34, an anti-rotation block 35, a first switch support 28 and a second switch support 29 are arranged on the second support 23.

[0046] A barcode scanner (not shown in the figure) is arranged on the rotary assembly manipulator 3, which is used to scan the two-dimensional code of the torque converter 14 on the first alignment device 1.

[0047] When the rotary assembly manipulator 3 assembles the torque converter 14, the servo reduction motor 27 rotates, driving the driving pulley 55 and the driven pulley 56 to rotate. At the same time, the lifting cylinder 34 pushes the second connecting plate 47 to lift and lower, so that the rotary assembly manipulator 3 rotates and assembles downward.

[0048] The transfer manipulator gripper 40 is used to grip the outer periphery of the hydraulic torque converter 14, and includes a pneumatic gripper 42, a mounting plate 46, and a clamping plate 24 arranged on the pneumatic gripper 42. The pneumatic gripper 42 is arranged on the mounting plate 46. A fourth switch bracket 44 is arranged on the mounting plate 46, and a proximity switch 45 is arranged on the fourth switch bracket 44. An induction plate 41 is also arranged on the pneumatic gripper 42. The proximity switch 45 is used to sense the opening and closing of the clamping plate 24. A second photoelectric switch 43 is arranged on the mounting plate 46, and the second photoelectric switch 43 is used to detect whether the transfer manipulator gripper 40 grips the hydraulic torque converter 14.

[0049] Working principle:

[0050] Place the hydraulic torque converter 14 with its shaft end facing down on the tray 8, and the tray 8 drives the hydraulic torque converter 14 to run to the loading station.

[0051] The transfer manipulator gripper 40 opens, moves variably to the hydraulic torque converter 14, controls the transfer manipulator gripper 40 to grip the hydraulic torque converter 14 and move variably above the oil drain pan 25, and rotates the hydraulic torque converter 14 by 180° for oil control.

[0052] After the oil control of the hydraulic torque converter 14 is completed, it is detected whether there is a hydraulic torque converter 14 on the first alignment device 1. If not, the transfer manipulator gripper 40 places the hydraulic torque converter 14 on the first alignment device 1. Otherwise, the transfer manipulator gripper 40 places the hydraulic torque converter 14 on the buffer table 5. When it is detected that there is no hydraulic torque converter 14 on the first alignment device 1, the hydraulic torque converter 14 on the buffer table 5 is moved to the first alignment device 1.

[0053] Place the transmission 26 on the transmission conveyor line body 50, and the transmission 26 is conveyed to the lower part of the second alignment device 2. The first lifting device 6 drives the second alignment device 2 to move downward, and the position of the square key 60 of the transmission 26 is preliminarily aligned by rotating the second alignment device 2. After alignment, the first lifting device 6 moves upward to return to the original position.

[0054] The adjusted transmission 26 runs to the assembly position along with the transmission conveyor line body 50. The transverse movement device 9 drives the rotary assembly manipulator 3 to move towards the first alignment device 1. After reaching above the first alignment device 1, the barcode scanner on the rotary assembly manipulator 3 automatically scans the QR code of the hydraulic torque converter 14 on the first alignment device 1. After successful scanning, the rotary assembly manipulator 3 moves downward and grips the hydraulic torque converter 14 on the first alignment device 1;

[0055] If the code scanning is not successful, the transverse movement device 9 drives the rotary assembly manipulator 3 to return to the assembly position. The transfer manipulator gripper 40 opens, grabs the torque converter 14 for which the code scanning is not successful, moves variably to above the oil drain pan 25, the transfer manipulator gripper 40 rotates the torque converter 14 by 180°, places the torque converter 14 on the unqualified material channel 54, then grabs the torque converter 14 again from the buffer table 5 and moves it to the first alignment device 1, and performs code scanning again.

[0056] The transverse movement device 9 drives the rotary assembly manipulator 3 and the torque converter 14 to move towards the adjusted gearbox 26. The rotary assembly manipulator 3 drives the torque converter 14 to move downward and rotate, and docks with the first spline 58 of the gearbox 26. After the docking is in place, it docks with the second spline 59 of the gearbox 26. After the docking is successful, it docks with the square key 60 of the gearbox 26 until the first spline 58, the second spline 59, and the square key 60 of the gearbox 26 and the torque converter 14 are all assembled in place. The assembled gearbox 26 and the torque converter 14 are transported to the designated qualified product position along with the gearbox conveyor line body 50. At the same time, the rotary assembly manipulator 3 moves upward to the original position. If any spline or square key 60 is not assembled in place, the subsequent splines or square key 60 will not be assembled continuously, the rotary assembly manipulator 3 moves upward to the original position, and the gearbox 26 and the torque converter 14 are transported to the designated unqualified product position along with the gearbox conveyor line body 50.

[0057] In the present invention, the torque converter 14 is placed on the tray 8 with the shaft head facing downward, which is consistent with the incoming material packaging direction of the torque converter 14, avoiding manual flipping of the torque converter 14. It only requires manual feeding of the torque converter 14 onto the tray 8, greatly reducing the labor intensity of the operator.

[0058] The transfer manipulator gripper 40 and the oil drain pan 25 are provided. The transfer manipulator gripper 40 grabs the torque converter 14 for oil control, which can reduce the work intensity brought by manual oil control. The oil drain pan 25 prevents oil from dripping onto the ground. At the same time, the oil drain pan 25 can collect and filter the oil for reuse, reducing the cost of the gearbox oil.

[0059] When the torque converter 14 is loaded onto the line, the tray 8 is used, with the direction being the shaft head facing downward and the oil port facing upward, avoiding the situation of oil dripping downward with the traditional assembly oil port direction, reducing potential safety hazards.

[0060] The transportation of the torque converter 14 and the assembly of the torque converter 14 are carried out simultaneously, improving the production efficiency.

[0061] The detachable quick-change head 13 is provided on the tray 8. When the model of the torque converter 14 needs to be changed, only the quick-change head 13 needs to be replaced, and the model change is rapid.

[0062] The transfer manipulator jaw 40 grips the outer periphery of the torque converter 14, replacing the traditional jaw that grips the shaft head position. It can be compatible with more models of torque converters 14, avoiding frequent replacement of the jaws caused by changes in the shaft head structure and size of the torque converter 14, increasing the manufacturing cost of the jaws, and at the same time increasing the jaw replacement time, resulting in waste of production capacity.

[0063] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the described embodiments. For those skilled in the art, without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention, various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations made to these embodiments still fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
