In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish in the description and have no special meaning.

[0067] The present application discloses a buckle ring press-fitting device and a buckle ring press-fitting method.

[0068] Referring to Figures 1 to 3 The buckle ring press-fitting device comprises a feeding frame 1, a material receiving rod 2, a press-fitting mechanism 3, a feeding frame 4, and a feeding assembly 5. The material receiving rod 2 is arranged on the feeding frame 1 for receiving the buckle ring 6; the press-fitting mechanism 3 is arranged on the feeding frame 1 and corresponds to the material receiving rod 2, and the press-fitting mechanism 3 is used for clamping the buckle ring 6 received by the material receiving rod 2; the feeding frame 4 is arranged on the feeding frame 1 and has a station 42 for receiving the material 10, and the press-fitting mechanism 3 can press-fit the buckle ring 6 to the material 10 in the station 42; and the feeding assembly 5 is arranged on the feeding frame 1 and is used for supporting multiple materials 10 and can sequentially pass the materials 10 through the station 42.

[0069] Specifically, the feeding frame 1 comprises a bottom plate 11 and a feeding frame 12 arranged on the bottom plate 11, and the material receiving rod 2 is fixed in the feeding frame 12. The material receiving rod 2 is in a strip shape, which can be adapted to the shape of the buckle ring 6. In the present embodiment, the buckle ring 6 is annular, and two protrusions are arranged at intervals on the inner side of the buckle ring 6. Correspondingly, a matching groove is arranged on the material receiving rod 2 to form a plug-in fit with the buckle ring 6, so as to ensure that the buckle ring 6 can slide stably on the material receiving rod 2, thereby sequentially and orderly arranging multiple buckle rings 6 on the material receiving rod 2. The material receiving rod 2 is detachably connected to the feeding frame 12, so as to replace the corresponding material receiving rod 2 for different types of buckle rings 6.

[0070] The feeding frame 4 comprises two oppositely arranged feeding plates 41, and a fixing seat 43 is arranged on each of the opposite side surfaces of the two feeding plates 41, and the fixing seat 43 is fixedly connected to the bottom plate 11 by bolts. A V-shaped groove is formed on the feeding plate 41, and two opposite V-shaped grooves form a station 42. The material 10 is a rotor containing a rotating shaft, and the rotating shafts on both sides of the rotor can be connected to the two V-shaped grooves of the station 42. Multiple stations 42 can be equally spaced along the length direction of the feeding plate 41, and multiple materials 10 can be stored on the feeding frame 4 at one time. One of the stations 42 corresponds to the press-fitting mechanism 3, and the press-fitting mechanism 3 can press-fit the buckle ring 6 to the material 10 on the station 42. In other embodiments, multiple press-fitting mechanisms 3 and material receiving rods 2 can be arranged at intervals to simultaneously press-fit the buckle ring 6 to the materials 10 on multiple stations 42. The actual production line can be set according to the actual production line.

[0071] After the completion of the press fitting of the clasp 6, the clasp 6 is moved to the next station 42 by the feeding assembly 5. In this embodiment, there is only one station 42 for the press fitting of the clasp 6, and the feeding assembly 5 can move the material 10 that has completed the press fitting to the next station 42, and sequentially feed the material 10 that has not completed the press fitting of the clasp 6 to the station 42 for press fitting.

[0072] The press fitting mechanism 3 is arranged on the feeding frame 12 and is located above the material receiving rod 2. The press fitting mechanism 3 can clamp the clasp 6 on the material receiving rod 2. The part of the material receiving rod 2 corresponding to the clamping structure is not provided with a groove matched with the clasp 6, so as to ensure that the clasp 6 can be clamped by the clamping structure and separated from the material receiving rod 2. The press fitting mechanism 3 can move above the station 42 after clamping the clasp 6, and press the clasp 6 downward to complete the press fitting. The press fitting mechanism 3 is reset and the above process is repeated.

[0073] By arranging the material receiving rod 2, a plurality of clasps 6 can be sleeved on the material receiving rod 2 in advance. The press fitting mechanism 3 can clamp the clasp 6 and drive it to the above of the station 42. At this time, the feeding frame 4 and the feeding assembly 5 cooperate to sequentially feed a plurality of materials 10 to the station 42. When the material 10 enters the station 42, the press fitting mechanism 3 can press fit the clasp 6 on the material 10. The press fitting mechanism 3 is automatically reset and clamps the next clasp 6. The feeding assembly 5 feeds away the material 10 and feeds new material 10 to the station 42. The above actions are repeated to realize the automatic press fitting of a plurality of clasps 6. In the application process of the clasp press fitting device, the press fitting mechanism 3 can automatically clamp the clasp 6 and drive it to the station 42 to press fit the material 10. The material 10 can be automatically replaced by the feeding assembly 5, so that the whole press fitting process can be completed automatically, and the degree of human participation is small. In the batch press fitting operation of the clasp 6, the press fitting difficulty is low, and the efficiency is high, so that the production capacity of the whole production line is improved.

[0074] Referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 Optionally, the press fitting mechanism 3 comprises a press fitting frame 31, a clamping assembly 32, a pushing driving member 33 and a press fitting driving member 34. The press fitting frame 31 is slidingly connected to the feeding frame 1. The clamping assembly 32 is arranged on the press fitting frame 31 and is used for clamping the clasp 6 on the material receiving rod 2. The pushing driving member 33 is connected with the press fitting frame 31 to drive the press fitting frame 31 and the clamping assembly 32 to approach or move away from the feeding frame 4. The press fitting driving member 34 is arranged on the press fitting frame 31 and pushes the clasp 6 to press fit on the material 10 when the clamping assembly 32 corresponds to the material 10 on the station 42.

[0075] Specifically, a slide rail is provided on the loading frame 12, and two slide rails can be provided in parallel. A slider slidably connected to the slide rail is fixedly connected to the bottom side of the press frame 31. The clamping assembly 32 can be fixed on the press frame 31, and the material support rod 2 can be raised and lowered relative to the clamping assembly 32. The lifting can be driven by a cylinder to push the material support rod 2 to drive the buckle 6 close to the clamping assembly 32. The clamping assembly 32 can clamp and fix the buckle 6 when the buckle 6 approaches. It should be understood that the clamping assembly 32 and the press frame 31 can also be configured as a structure that can be raised and lowered, while the material support rod 2 is fixed in place, so that the buckle 6 can also be clamped.

[0076] The push drive 33 can be a pneumatic cylinder, the cylinder body of which is fixed to the loading frame 12, and the piston rod of which is fixedly connected to the press-fitting frame 31. The piston rod of the cylinder can be extended and retracted in the direction toward or away from the feeding frame 4. The press-fitting drive 34 is fixed to the press-fitting frame 31. The press-fitting drive 34 can also be a pneumatic cylinder, the cylinder body of which is fixedly connected to the press-fitting frame 31, and the piston rod of which can extend downward in the vertical direction. The end wall of the piston rod can be provided with a pressing head 341 to press against the retaining ring 6 and push the retaining ring 6 to be press-fitted onto the material 10. It should be understood that the push drive 33 and the press-fitting drive 34 can also use a motor as a driving structure, and cooperate with corresponding transmission structures such as screws to drive the corresponding structures to move. The specific types of the push drive 33 and the press-fitting drive 34 can be designed according to actual driving requirements, and the present invention does not limit this.

[0077] When the clamping assembly 32 clamps the buckle 6, the pushing drive 33 can push the pressing frame 31 and the clamping assembly 32 to move toward the work station 42. When the clamping assembly 32 drives the buckle 6 to correspond to the material 10, the pressing drive 34 runs to push the buckle 6 of the clamping assembly 32 out and press the buckle 6 onto the material 10. Then the pressing drive 34 and the pushing drive 33 are reset, so that the clamping assembly 32 is reset and the above process is repeated, so that multiple buckles 6 can be pressed onto the corresponding materials 10 in turn.

[0078] Optionally, the clamping assembly 32 includes two opposing clamping blocks 321. A clamping space for accommodating the retaining ring 6 is formed between the two clamping blocks 321. Opposite sides of the two clamping blocks 321 are provided with clamping grooves 322 that engage with the retaining ring 6. The sidewalls of the clamping grooves 322 abut against the retaining ring 6. The upper side of the clamping space allows the driving end of the press-fitting driver 34 to extend into and press against the retaining ring 6.

[0079] Specifically, the two clamping blocks 321 can each be in the shape of a long strip, and the front end of each clamping block 321 forms the clamping space described above. In an embodiment, the clamping blocks 321 can be made of elastic material, and in the initial state, the distance between the two clamping grooves 322 is smaller than the maximum outer dimension of the clasp 6, so that when the clasp 6 is clamped in the clamping grooves 322, the clasp 6 can push the two clamping blocks 321 to deform to a certain extent, thereby clamping the clasp in the clamping space.

[0080] In another embodiment, the two clamping blocks 321 can move closer to or away from each other, and a spring or other elastic structure can be provided in the direction in which the two clamping blocks 321 move closer to or away from each other, such as a spring provided in the middle of the two clamping blocks 321 or a spring provided on the opposite sides of the two clamping blocks 321. The spring can deform in the direction in which the two clamping blocks 321 move closer to each other, and in the initial state, the spring has a tendency to move the two clamping blocks 321 closer to each other, so that when the clasp 6 is clamped in the clamping grooves 322, the two clamping blocks 321 can abut against the clasp 6.

[0081] When clamping the clasp 6, it is only necessary to insert the clasp 6 into the two clamping grooves 322, and the side walls of the clamping grooves 322 can abut against the side surfaces of the clasp 6 to limit the movement range of the clasp 6 in the horizontal plane, and at the same time, an extrusion force can be formed between the side walls of the clamping grooves 322 and the clasp 6, thereby ensuring that the clasp 6 cannot fall out of the clamping grooves 322, so as to smoothly complete the clamping of the clamping assembly 32 on the clasp 6.

[0082] Optionally, the clamping assembly 32 further comprises a mounting seat 323. The mounting seat 323 is provided on the press-fit frame 31, and the clamping blocks 321 are slidingly connected in the mounting seat 323. The opposite sides of the two clamping blocks 321 are each provided with an elastic limiting piece 324, and the elastic limiting piece 324 has a tendency to move the two clamping blocks 321 closer to each other.

[0083] Specifically, the mounting seat 323 is in the shape of a block, which can be fixed to the side of the press-fit frame 31 close to the material receiving rod 2 by screws. A notch is formed in the lower side of the mounting seat 323, and the clamping blocks 321 are arranged in the notch, and the front end of each clamping block 321 extends out of the notch and corresponds to the output end of the press-fit driving member 34.

[0084] A connecting block 325 is arranged on each of the opposite sides of the clamping block 321. A plurality of elastic limiting pieces 324 are arranged in a ring shape on the side of the connecting block 325 away from the clamping block 321, and the elastic limiting pieces 324 are in the form of springs or elastic rods. The other end of each elastic limiting piece 324 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the mounting seat 323. A space is formed in the mounting seat 323 for the clamping blocks 321 and the connecting blocks 325 to slide, so that the two clamping blocks 321 can move closer to or away from each other.

[0085] By setting the mounting base 323, not only sufficient mounting space can be provided for the clamping blocks 321 and the elastic limiting pieces 324, but also the sliding direction of the two clamping blocks 321 can be limited, so that the two clamping blocks 321 can only slide in the direction of keeping close or away. The elastic limiting pieces 324 can deform correspondingly when the clamping blocks 321 move, and act on the clamping blocks 321 through the connecting blocks 325. In the natural state of the elastic limiting pieces 324, the distance between the two clamping blocks 321 is smaller than the maximum size of the clasp 6, so when the clasp 6 is inserted between the two clamping blocks 321, the clasp 6 can smoothly push the two clamping blocks 321 away and press the elastic limiting pieces 324, and the elastic limiting pieces 324 thus push the two clamping blocks 321 against the clasp 6 to complete the clamping of the clasp 6.

[0086] With reference to Figure 6 And Figure 7 Optionally, the feeding assembly 5 comprises a material moving plate 51, a first driving member 52 and a second driving member 53. The material moving plate 51 has a plurality of supporting blocks 54 for supporting the materials 10; the first driving member 52 is connected with the material moving plate 51 to drive the material moving plate 51 and the supporting blocks 54 to move in the first direction X so that the materials 10 enter or leave the workstations 42; and the second driving member 53 is connected with the first driving member 52 to drive the first driving member 52 to move in the second direction Y after the materials 10 leave the workstations 42 so that the materials 10 move to the adjacent workstations 42.

[0087] Specifically, the material moving plate 51 is in the shape of a long strip, and a plurality of supporting blocks 54 can be fixed thereon at intervals along the length direction, the distance between any two adjacent supporting blocks 54 can be equal to the distance between any two adjacent workstations 42, and the top wall of each supporting block 54 is provided with a groove for accommodating the materials 10, and a detection sensor 541 is arranged on the side wall of each supporting block 54 for detecting whether the materials 10 are placed on the supporting blocks 54. The supporting blocks 54 can be fixed to the material moving plate 51 in a detachable manner such as bolt connection or clamping, so as to select the supporting blocks 54 suitable for different shapes of products, or the supporting blocks 54 can be integrated with the material moving plate 51 or fixed together by welding or bonding in a non-detachable manner, so as to ensure good overall connection strength.

[0088] The output end of the first driving member 52 is connected with the material moving plate 51, and the first direction can be the vertical direction. The first driving member 52 drives the material moving plate 51 to move in the vertical direction, so that the material moving plate 51 and the supporting blocks 54 can push the materials 10 to move upward to leave the workstations 42, or move downward to enter the workstations 42. The first driving member 52 is fixed on a first strip-shaped plate 55 which is parallel to the material moving plate 51 and has a length direction close to that of the material moving plate 51, and the first driving member 52 is located at the middle of the length direction of the first strip-shaped plate 55, so that the driving force generated by the first driving member 52 can act on the middle of the material moving plate 51.

[0089] The second driving member 53 can be fixed on the bottom plate 11 through a second strip-shaped plate 56, and the output end of the second driving member 53 is fixedly connected with the first strip-shaped plate 55, and the first strip-shaped plate 55 and the second strip-shaped plate 56 can be slidably connected through a sliding rail and a sliding block. The second direction Y can be the length direction of the first strip-shaped plate 55. The second driving member 53 can drive the first strip-shaped plate 55 to move along the second direction Y, so as to drive the first driving member 52 and the material moving plate 51 to synchronously translate.

[0090] It should be understood that the first driving member 52 and the second driving member 53 both adopt air cylinders in the embodiment, so as to reduce the manufacturing difficulty and cost of the clasp ring press-fitting equipment, and in other embodiments, the first driving member 52 and the second driving member 53 can both adopt a motor cooperating with a lead screw and the like transmission structure to realize, so as to improve the driving precision of the clasp ring press-fitting equipment as a whole, and the actual control requirement can be designed, and the present application does not limit this.

[0091] When the material 10 is fed, the first driving member 52 is used to push the material moving plate 51 and the supporting block 54 to move upwards, and then the plurality of materials 10 are sequentially placed on the plurality of supporting blocks 54, and then the first driving member 52 is reset and drives the material moving plate 51 and the supporting block 54 to reset, at this time, the material 10 enters the station 42, and when the entering station 42 corresponds to the press-fitting mechanism 3, the press-fitting mechanism 3 acts to press-fit the clasp ring 6 on the material 10, and then the first driving member 52 lifts the material moving plate 51 and the supporting block 54, so that the material 10 after press-fitting leaves the station 42, at this time, the second driving member 53 operates, and the first driving member 52, the material moving plate 51, the supporting block 54 and the material 10 simultaneously move to the next station 42, and the new material 10 is synchronously moved to the station 42 corresponding to the press-fitting mechanism 3, and then the first driving member 52 is reset, so that the new material 10 is placed in the station 42, and the material 10 after press-fitting is automatically moved to the next station 42 and is grabbed by the mechanical hand of the next process to continue the subsequent processing.

[0097] Specifically, the jacking driving member 13 is located at one end of the material supporting rod 2 close to the feeding assembly 5, the output end of the jacking driving member 13 is arranged through the feeding frame 12 and provided with a connecting head, and the material supporting rod 2 and the connecting head are fixed together by bolts or welding or adhesion or clamping, etc. Because the size of the buckle 6 is fixed, the material supporting rod 2 needs to be raised by a fixed amplitude during the process of clamping the buckle 6 on the pressing mechanism 3, so the jacking driving member 13 can adopt a cylinder, the piston rod of the cylinder can extend towards the direction close to the pressing mechanism 3, thereby pushing the material supporting rod 2 to approach the pressing mechanism 3. It should be understood that the jacking driving member 13 can also adopt a motor and cooperate with a screw rod to realize the lifting of the material supporting rod 2, which can be designed according to the actual manufacturing cost and control accuracy, and the present application does not make any limitation thereto.

[0100] Specifically, the material receiving rod 2 is in a long strip shape, and a material vibrating plate 141 is fixedly arranged on the lower side wall of the material receiving rod 2, and the two can be in an integrated structure. The bottom wall of the material vibrating plate 141 is fixedly connected with the top wall of the material pushing member 14.

[0102] Specifically, the material feeding member 15 adopts a vibrating disc, which can send the clasps 6 in the storage space to the feeding channel, so that the clasps 6 are automatically inserted into the material receiving rod 2 along the feeding channel. Moreover, the material feeding member 15 can also ensure that the clasps 6 are inserted into the material receiving rod 2 in a proper posture. The worker only needs to add a corresponding number of clasps 6 to the material feeding member 15, and the clasps 6 can be automatically fed, thereby further improving the automation degree of the entire clasp 6 press-fitting process.

[0103] The clasp press-fitting method is applied to the clasp press-fitting device in the above-mentioned embodiments, and the clasp press-fitting method comprises the following steps.

[0104] Step S1: sequentially arrange a plurality of clasps 6, and the workstations 42 receive the material 10 to be press-fitted.

The material 10 can be placed in a plurality of workstations 42 at one time, so that the subsequent clasp 6 press-fitting can be continuously performed.

[0106] Step S2: clamp one of the clasps 6 and carry it to above the workstation 42, and press the clasp 6 to the designated position of the material 10 to complete the press-fitting.

[0107] After the material 10 enters the corresponding work station 42, the clasp 6 can be pushed close to the press-fitting mechanism 3, so that the clasp 6 is clamped with the press-fitting mechanism 3, and the press-fitting mechanism 3 can drive the clasp 6 to move above the work station 42 and press the clasp 6 to the material 10 to complete the press-fitting.

[0108] Step S3: After the press-fitting is completed, the plurality of materials 10 are synchronously moved to move the material 10 after the press-fitting away from the work station 42 and move the new material 10 to the work station 42.

[0109] After the clasp 6 is press-fitted on the material 10, the plurality of materials 10 are synchronously moved by one work station 42, and the material 10 after the press-fitting is moved to the next work station 42, and the material 10 before the press-fitting enters the work station 42, and the steps S1 to S3 are repeated to continuously and automatically perform the press-fitting process.

[0110] Through the steps S1 to S3, the press-fitting process of the clasp 6 can be automatically completed from feeding, press-fitting and feeding, and the material 10 after the press-fitting can also quickly feed the new material 10 to the specified work station 42, so that the press-fitting process can be continuously completed, thereby effectively improving the automation degree of the entire press-fitting process, reducing the participation degree of the workers, reducing the labor intensity of the workers, reducing the press-fitting difficulty, improving the press-fitting efficiency, and thereby improving the production capacity of the overall production line.
