In addition, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present application described below may be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0057] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a gearbox shaft loading machine 1, which mainly includes a machine base circulating transmission mechanism 100, a retaining spring pre-installation mechanism 200, a first bearing pre-installation mechanism 300, an outer shell pre-installation mechanism 400, a second bearing pre-installation mechanism 500, an output shaft pre-installation mechanism 600, an output shaft pressing mechanism 700, a detection mechanism 800 and a discharge robot 900. Among them, the machine base circulating transmission mechanism 100 is mainly used to sequentially send the machine base assembly 2 from the initial station 11 to the retaining spring pre-installation station 12, the first bearing pre-installation station 13, the outer shell pre-installation station 14, the second bearing pre-installation station 15, the output shaft pre-installation station 16, the output shaft pressing station 17, the detection station 18 and the discharge station 19, and then send the machine base assembly 2 back to the initial station 11. The retaining spring pre-installation mechanism 200 may be located at the retaining spring pre-installation station 12 and is primarily used to pre-assemble the retaining spring into the first sub-base 21 of the sub-base assembly 2 at the retaining spring pre-installation station 12. The first bearing pre-installation mechanism 300 may be located at the first bearing pre-installation station 13 and is primarily used to pre-assemble the first bearing into the second sub-base 22 of the sub-base assembly 2 at the first bearing pre-installation station 13. The outer shell pre-installation mechanism 400 may be located at the outer shell pre-installation station 14 and is primarily used to pre-assemble the outer shell into the second sub-base 22 at the outer shell pre-installation station 14, thereby assembling the outer shell and the first bearing together. The second bearing pre-installation mechanism 500 may be located at the second bearing pre-installation station 15 and is primarily used to pre-assemble the second bearing into the first sub-base 21 at the second bearing pre-installation station 15, thereby assembling the second bearing and the retaining spring together. The output shaft pre-assembly mechanism 600 can be specifically located at the output shaft pre-assembly station 16 and is primarily used to pre-assemble the output shaft into the first machine base 21 at the output shaft pre-assembly station 16, so that the output shaft, second bearing, and retaining spring are assembled together to obtain a semi-finished product. The output shaft pressing mechanism 700 can be specifically located at the output shaft pressing station 17 and is primarily used to press-fit the semi-finished product in the first machine base 21 at the output shaft pressing station 17 into the second machine base 22, so that the outer rubber shell, first bearing, output shaft, second bearing, and retaining spring are assembled together to obtain a finished product.

The discharging robot 900 can be specifically located at the discharging station 19 and is primarily used to sort and discharge the finished products in the second machine base 22 at the discharging station 19 based on the results of the assembly quality inspection.

[0058] It is understood that the gearbox shaft insertion machine 1 of the embodiment of the present application is primarily used in the gearbox assembly process to facilitate assembly operations between the gearbox outer shell, output shaft, bearings, and retaining springs. Specifically, the output shaft, two bearings, and retaining springs are assembled within the outer shell, completing the shaft insertion process in the gearbox assembly process. To improve the efficiency of the entire gearbox shaft insertion process, the machine base assembly 2 utilizes a dual-machine base structure, comprising a first machine base 21 and a second machine base 22. The height of the first machine base 21 is higher than that of the second machine base 22 to accommodate actual installation requirements.

[0059] In this way, in the embodiment of the present application, in the entire gearbox shaft insertion process, whether it is the assembly of the retaining ring or the assembly of the first bearing, the outer rubber shell, the second bearing and the output shaft, it can be automatically completed by the corresponding mechanism to ensure its assembly efficiency. At the same time, after its assembly is completed, a corresponding detection mechanism 800 is also provided to perform assembly quality inspection on the assembled finished product, so that the discharging robot 900 can sort and discharge the corresponding finished product according to the results of the assembly quality inspection, thereby effectively ensuring the assembly quality of the finished product. In addition, its machine base circulation transmission mechanism 100 can realize the rapid recycling of the machine base assembly 2, so as to save the use cost of the machine base assembly 2 while further ensuring its assembly efficiency. It can be seen that this technical solution can automatically complete the assembly operation between the outer rubber shell, the output shaft, the bearing and the retaining ring in the gearbox assembly, and can ensure assembly efficiency and assembly quality.

[0060] In some examples, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the machine base circulation transmission mechanism 100 may specifically include a first machine base longitudinal feeding channel 110, a machine base transverse feeding channel 120, a second machine base longitudinal feeding channel 130, and a machine base transverse return feeding belt 140. Specifically, the first machine base longitudinal feeding channel 110 may specifically include a longitudinally arranged first channel body 111 and a first longitudinal pushing mechanism 112 that drives the machine base assembly 2 to move on the first channel body 111 along the extension direction of the first channel body 111. The machine base horizontal feeding channel 120 may specifically include a second channel body 121 arranged horizontally and a horizontal pushing mechanism 122 that drives the machine base assembly 2 to move on the second channel body 121 along the extension direction of the second channel body 121, and the second channel body 121 is sequentially provided with an initial station 11, a retaining spring pre-installation station 12, a first bearing pre-installation station 13, an outer shell pre-installation station 14, a second bearing pre-installation station 15, an output shaft pre-installation station 16, an output shaft pressing station 17, a detection station 18 and a discharge station 19 along its extension direction. The second machine base longitudinal feeding channel 130 may specifically include a third channel body 131 arranged longitudinally and a second longitudinal pushing mechanism 132 that drives the machine base assembly 2 to move on the third channel body 131 along the extension direction of the third channel body 131. The machine base transverse return belt 140 may specifically include a transversely arranged return belt 141 and a belt drive motor 144 that drives the machine base assembly 2 to move on the return belt 141 along the extension direction of the return belt 141. The first material channel body 111, the second material channel body 112, the third material channel body 113 and the return belt 114 are arranged end to end in sequence. In this way, through the above-mentioned structural setting, under the sequential cooperation of the first machine base longitudinal feeding channel 110, the machine base horizontal feeding channel 120, the second machine base longitudinal feeding channel 130 and the machine base horizontal return feeding belt 140, the machine base assembly 2 can be well sent from the initial station 11 to the retaining ring pre-installation station 12, the first bearing pre-installation station 13, the outer rubber shell pre-installation station 14, the second bearing pre-installation station 15, the output shaft pre-installation station 16, the output shaft pressing station 17, the inspection station 18 and the discharge station 19, and then sent back to the initial station 11 to realize the circulation flow of the machine base assembly 2 in these stations.

[0061] It will be appreciated that the structures of the first longitudinal pushing mechanism 112, the transverse pushing mechanism 122, and the second longitudinal pushing mechanism 132 in this example are substantially identical, primarily consisting of a push plate and a push plate cylinder that drives the push plate in linear motion. In this example, the feeding direction of the first channel body 111 and the feeding direction of the third channel body 113 are opposite, and the feeding reverse direction and return belt 114 of the second channel body 112 are also opposite.

[0062] In some examples, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the machine base circulating transmission mechanism 100 specifically further includes a plurality of machine base positioning assemblies 150, and the plurality of machine base positioning assemblies 150 correspond one to one to the retaining spring pre-installation station 12, the first bearing pre-installation station 13, the outer rubber shell pre-installation station 14, the second bearing pre-installation station 15, the output shaft pre-installation station 16, and the output shaft pressing station 17. In this way, through the above-mentioned structural arrangement, when the machine base assembly 2 is respectively transferred to the retaining spring pre-installation station 12, the first bearing pre-installation station 13, the outer rubber shell pre-installation station 14, the second bearing pre-installation station 15, the output shaft pre-installation station 16, and the output shaft pressing station 17 through the machine base circulating transmission mechanism 100, it can be positioned at the corresponding station through the corresponding machine base positioning assembly 150. Furthermore, the machine base positioning assembly 150 may specifically include a positioning member (not shown) and a positioning member lifting cylinder (not shown) that drives the positioning member to rise and fall. The positioning member is located at the corresponding workstation and, driven by the positioning member lifting cylinder, extends from the bottom of the second material channel body 121 to position the machine base assembly 2 on the second material channel body 121 at the corresponding workstation. In this way, through the above-mentioned structural arrangement, when the machine base assembly 2 is transferred to the corresponding workstation, the positioning member can be used to well position the machine base assembly 2 at the corresponding workstation.

[0063] It can be understood that in order to facilitate the machine base assembly 2 to be sent to the corresponding work station (such as the retaining spring pre-installation station 12, the first bearing pre-installation station 13, the outer shell pre-installation station 14, the second bearing pre-installation station 15, the output shaft pre-installation station 16 and the output shaft pressing station 17), the gear box shaft-entry machine 1 can promptly start the corresponding machine base positioning assembly 150 at the corresponding work station to position it at the corresponding work station. The gear box shaft-entry machine 1 can also be provided with an in-place detection sensor (not shown) at each corresponding work station (such as the retaining spring pre-installation station 12, the first bearing pre-installation station 13, the outer shell pre-installation station 14, the second bearing pre-installation station 15, the output shaft pre-installation station 16 and the output shaft pressing station 17) to accurately detect whether the machine base assembly 2 has been sent to the corresponding work station through the corresponding in-place detection sensor.

[0064] In some examples, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the circlip pre-installation mechanism 200 may specifically include a circlip vibration plate feeding assembly 210, a circlip lower distributing assembly 220, a circlip transverse feeding assembly 230, a circlip supporting assembly 240, and a circlip removal assembly 250. Specifically, the circlip vibration plate feeding assembly 210 may specifically include a circlip feeding channel 211 and a circlip vibration plate 212 that drives the circlip to vibrate and transmit on the circlip feeding channel 211. The circlip lower distributing assembly 220 may specifically include a guide slope 221 that docks with the end of the circlip feeding channel 211 and a circlip lower distributing cylinder 222 that drives the circlip to rise upward along the guide slope 221, so that the circlip is placed horizontally under the guidance of the guide slope 221. The circlip transverse conveying assembly 230 may specifically include a circlip pushing block 231 that interfaces with the guide ramp 221 and a circlip transverse displacement cylinder 232 that drives the circlip pushing block 231 to move transversely, so that the horizontally placed circlip is pushed to the circlip waiting position by the transverse displacement of the circlip pushing block 231. The circlip supporting assembly 240 may specifically include a circlip supporting block 241 having a circlip waiting position and a circlip supporting cylinder 242 that drives the circlip supporting block 241 to move up and down. The circlip removal assembly 250 may specifically include a circlip removal head 251, a circlip lifting cylinder 252 that drives the circlip removal head 251 to move up and down, and a circlip translation cylinder 253 that drives the circlip removal head 251 to translate above the circlip waiting position and above the circlip pre-installation station 12. In this way, through the above-mentioned structural setting, the spring loading operation and the spring pre-assembly operation of automatically pre-assembling the spring into the first machine base 21 of the machine base assembly 2 on the spring pre-assembly station 12 can be automatically realized with the sequential cooperation of the spring vibration plate loading assembly 210, the spring lower distributing assembly 220, the spring horizontal delivery assembly 230, the spring supporting assembly 240 and the spring removal assembly 250.

[0065] It can be understood that the retaining spring removal head 251 in this example can be specifically moved downward continuously by the retaining spring lifting cylinder 252 above, so that the material removal sleeve of the retaining spring removal head 251 is expanded to achieve the purpose of removing the retaining spring.

[0066] In some examples, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the first bearing pre-installation mechanism 300 may specifically include a bearing loading column 310, a bearing feeding assembly 320, and a bearing removal assembly 330. The bearing loading column 310 is used to stack a string of bearings in a vertical direction. The bearing feeding assembly may specifically include a bearing feeding channel 321 and a bearing feeding cylinder 322 that drives the bearings to move on the bearing feeding channel 321. The bearing loading column 310 is vertically arranged at the beginning of the bearing feeding channel 321. The bearing removal assembly 330 may specifically include a bearing removal head 331, a bearing lifting cylinder 332 that drives the bearing removal head 331 up and down, and a bearing translation cylinder 333 that drives the bearing removal head 331 above the end of the bearing feeding channel 321 and corresponding to the first bearing pre-installation station 13. Similarly, the structure of the second bearing pre-installation mechanism 500 is substantially identical to that of the first bearing pre-installation mechanism 300 and will not be further described herein. It should be noted that the bearing translation cylinder of the second bearing pre-installation mechanism 500 is used to drive the corresponding bearing removal head to translate above the end of the corresponding bearing feed channel and above the corresponding second bearing pre-installation station 15. The bearing removal head 331 can specifically perform the corresponding bearing removal and placement operation by removing the inner hole of the bearing. Thus, through the above-mentioned structural arrangement, the first bearing or the second bearing can be automatically loaded and pre-assembled into the second machine base 22 of the machine base assembly 2 on the first bearing pre-installation station 13 or the second bearing can be pre-assembled into the first machine base 21 on the second bearing pre-installation station 15, so that the second bearing and the retaining ring are assembled together.

[0067] In some examples, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, the outer shell pre-assembly mechanism 400 may specifically include an outer shell vibration plate loading component 410, an outer shell feeding component 420, and an outer shell removal component 430. Among them, the outer shell vibration plate loading component 410 may specifically include an outer shell loading channel 411 and an outer shell vibration plate 412 that drives the outer shell to vibrate and transmit on the outer shell loading channel 411. The outer shell feeding component 420 may specifically include an outer shell feeding channel 421 and an outer shell feeding cylinder 422 that drives the outer shell to move on the outer shell feeding channel 421, and the end of the outer shell loading channel 411 is docked with the beginning of the outer shell feeding channel 421. The outer shell taking-up assembly 430 may specifically include an outer shell taking-up head 431, an outer shell lifting cylinder 432 that drives the outer shell taking-up head 431 to rise and fall, and an outer shell translation cylinder 433 that drives the outer shell taking-up head 431 to translate above the end of the feeding channel on the outer shell and above the outer shell pre-installation station 14. In this way, through the above-mentioned structural arrangement, the outer shell feeding operation can be automatically realized under the sequential cooperation of the outer shell vibration plate feeding assembly 410, the outer shell feeding assembly 420 and the outer shell taking-up assembly 430, and the outer shell can be automatically pre-assembled into the second machine base 22 on the outer shell pre-installation station 14, so that the outer shell and the first bearing are assembled together.

[0068] It can be understood that the outer shell taking and placing head 431 in this example can specifically clamp the outer shell with the assistance of an air gripper cylinder to complete the taking and placing operation of the corresponding outer shell.

[0069] In some examples, such as Figure 1 and Figure 6As shown, the output shaft pre-assembly mechanism 600 may specifically include an output shaft push plate type loading assembly 610, an output shaft material dividing assembly 620, and an output shaft removal assembly 630. Specifically, the output shaft push plate type loading assembly 610 may specifically include an output shaft material storage bin 611, an output shaft material feeding channel 612, a push plate type loading power mechanism 613 for simultaneously transferring multiple output shafts in the output shaft material storage bin 611 to the starting end of the output shaft material feeding channel 612, and an output shaft feeding power mechanism 614 for driving the output shafts to be transferred on the output shaft material feeding channel 612. The output shaft material distribution component 620 may specifically include an output shaft clamping block 621 having an output shaft clamping slot (not shown in the figure) and an output shaft material distribution cylinder 622 that drives the output shaft clamping block 621 to extend and retract, so that the output shaft clamping slot can switch back and forth between a docking position docking with the end of the output shaft feeding channel 611 and an output shaft material waiting position under the extension and retraction of the output shaft clamping block 621. The output shaft installation component 630 may specifically include an output shaft installation head 631, an output shaft lifting cylinder 632 that drives the output shaft installation head 631 to rise and fall, and an output shaft translation cylinder 633 that drives the output shaft installation head 631 to translate above the output shaft material waiting position and above the output shaft pre-installation station 16. In this way, through the above-mentioned structural setting, the output shaft loading operation can be automatically realized with the sequential cooperation of the output shaft push plate loading assembly 610, the output shaft dividing assembly 620 and the output shaft removal assembly 630, and the output shaft can be automatically pre-assembled into the first machine base 21 on the output shaft pre-assembly station 16, so that the output shaft, the second bearing and the retaining ring are assembled together to obtain a semi-finished product.

[0070] It is understandable that the output shaft stacking bin 611 in this example is mainly used to stack multiple output shafts to be loaded. One side of the output shaft stacking bin 611 can be specifically docked with the starting end of the output shaft loading channel 612. At the same time, the push plate type loading power mechanism 613 includes multiple liftable push plates (not shown in the figure), the top ends of the multiple liftable push plates are arranged in a stepped manner, and the closer the top end of the liftable push plate is to the starting end of the output shaft loading channel 612, the higher its height is, so that the multiple output shafts are simultaneously transferred to the starting end of the output shaft loading channel 612 through the pushing effect formed by the lifting movement of the multiple liftable push plates. Moreover, during the transmission and transfer process of the output shaft feeding power mechanism 614, since the sizes of the two ends of the output shaft are quite different and the top is heavy, the direction can be divided by driving the output shaft on the output shaft feeding channel 611 through the output shaft feeding power mechanism 614, so that the output shaft is vertically arranged in a uniform direction on the output shaft feeding channel 611.

[0071] In some examples, such as Figure 1 and Figure 7As shown, the output shaft pressing mechanism 700 includes a semi-finished product removal assembly 710 and a pressing assembly 720. The semi-finished product removal assembly 710 includes a semi-finished product removal head 711, a semi-finished product lifting cylinder 930712 that drives the semi-finished product removal head 711 to rise and fall, and a semi-finished product translation cylinder 940713 that drives the semi-finished product removal head 711 to translate above the first machine base 21 on the output shaft pressing station 17 and above the second machine base 22 on the output shaft pressing station 17. The pressing assembly 720 includes a semi-finished product pressing head 810721 located above the second machine base 22 on the output shaft pressing station 17 and a first pressing cylinder 722 that drives the semi-finished product pressing head 810721 to rise and fall. In this way, through the above-mentioned structural setting, the semi-finished product pressing and assembly in the first machine base 21 on the output shaft press-in station 17 can be automatically realized by sequentially cooperating with the semi-finished product removal assembly 710 and the pressing assembly 720, and the semi-finished product pressed into the second machine base 22, so that the outer rubber shell, the first bearing, the output shaft, the second bearing and the retaining spring are assembled together to obtain the finished product.

[0072] In some examples, such as Figure 1 and Figure 8 As shown, the inspection mechanism 800 includes a finished product pressing head 810, a second pressing cylinder 820 for driving the finished product pressing head 810 to rise and fall, a spring probe 830, and a sensor 840 for detecting the compression amount of the spring probe 830. The finished product pressing head 810 is located above the second machine base 22 on the inspection station 18, and the spring probe 830 is located below the second machine base 22 on the inspection station 18. In this way, the finished product pressing head 810 can press down the finished product, causing the finished product to abut the spring probe 830, resulting in compression of the spring probe 830. The sensor 840 then detects the compression amount of the spring probe 830 to automatically inspect the assembly quality of the finished product. That is, if the finished product is missing, the spring probe 830 will not be compressed or the compression amount will be small, resulting in the sensor 840 being unable to sense it, thereby achieving the purpose of quality inspection.

[0073] In some examples, such as Figure 1 and Figure 9 As shown, the discharging robot 900 includes a finished product gripper 910, a flip motor 920 that drives the finished product gripper 910 to flip 180 degrees, a finished product lifting cylinder 930 that drives the finished product gripper 910 to rise and fall, and a finished product translation cylinder 940 that drives the finished product gripper 910 to translate above the discharging station 19 and above at least two unloading positions. Thus, through the above-mentioned structural arrangement, the finished product gripper 910, the flip motor 920, the finished product lifting cylinder 930, and the finished product translation cylinder 940 can cooperate with each other to automatically sort and discharge the finished products in the second machine base 22 of the discharging station 19 according to the results of the assembly quality inspection.
