An inner ring grabbing mechanism 3 is arranged below the other mobile lifting mechanism 5, thereby driving the inner ring grabbing mechanism 3 to move up and down, grab the inner ring loaded in the inner ring positioning mechanism 1 and then press it into the bearing. The inner ring positioning mechanism 1, the outer ring positioning clamping mechanism 2 and the needle loading mechanism 8 are located directly below the moving track of the mobile lifting mechanism 5, and the mobile lifting mechanism 5 has the functions of lifting and pressing. The elastic thrust mechanism 10 is arranged below the outer ring positioning and clamping mechanism 2, and a holding mechanism 9 is provided thereon so that the elastic thrust mechanism 10 continuously applies thrust to the holding mechanism 9, so that the holding mechanism 9 is inserted into the outer ring of the bearing through the through hole 204 opened on the outer ring positioning and clamping mechanism 2, so that the position of the needle roller is maintained, avoiding the displacement of the needle roller position during press fitting, ensuring that the inner ring of the bearing is accurately pressed into between the needle rollers in the bearing, reducing the needle roller adjustment time, ensuring that the spacing between the needle rollers is uniform, and the force is uniform during press fitting.

Specifically, Figure 7As shown, the outer ring positioning and clamping mechanism 2 includes a loading plate 202 and two clamping cylinders 201 arranged relatively on the loading plate 202. The output end of the clamping cylinder 201 is connected to a positioning clamping portion 203 for positioning and clamping the outer ring of the bearing through the positioning clamping portion 203.

The side of the retaining column 901 is provided with an arc-shaped veneer 904 matching the surface of the needle roller. When the needle removal mechanism 7 places the retaining frame fully loaded with needle rollers into the outer ring of the bearing, the needle removal mechanism 7 will dock with the retaining mechanism 9 and push the retaining mechanism 9 out of the outer ring of the bearing. At the same time, after the retaining frame fully loaded with needle rollers is completely placed in the outer ring, the open end of the outer ring of the bearing will be stamped, and the retaining frame fully loaded with needle rollers will remain in the outer ring of the bearing. When the needle removal mechanism 7 is lifted When the bearing is lifted, the retaining mechanism 9 is lifted accordingly under the continuous thrust of the elastic thrust mechanism 10, and the retaining column 901 moves along the axial direction of the needle roller and is reinserted into the outer ring. At this time, the arc surface of the retaining column 901 fits against the needle roller, and the needle roller is held in position by the retaining column 901. In addition, after the inner ring of the bearing is pressed into place, the elastic thrust mechanism 10 drives the retaining mechanism 9 to lift up the assembled bearing, making it convenient for the robot to grab and unload the material. In a further embodiment, a chamfered opening 902 for guiding is provided on the end of the retaining column 901, so as to facilitate the smooth docking of the retaining column 901 with the needle roller and ensure that the arc surface 904 fits against the needle roller.
[0029] In this embodiment, if Figure 2As shown, the mobile lifting mechanism 5 includes a vertical beam assembly 504, and the hydraulic cylinder 506 arranged in the vertical beam assembly 504 is connected to the loading part 507 to drive the loading part 507 to move up and down, and the loading part 507 is slidably arranged up and down in the vertical beam assembly 504. A mobile motor 503 is arranged in the vertical beam assembly 504, and the output end of the mobile motor 503 is connected to the mobile gear 502, and the mobile gear 502 is meshed with the rack 501 laid on the supporting mechanism 4, so that the mobile lifting mechanism 5 is driven by the mobile motor 503 to move horizontally on the supporting mechanism 4, and the needle removal mechanism 7 and the inner ring grabbing mechanism 3 can be loaded on the loading part 507, and the hydraulic cylinder 506 will drive the needle removal mechanism 7 and the inner ring grabbing mechanism 3 to achieve up and down lifting, and realize the precise pressing of the inner ring of the bearing.
[0030] In a further embodiment, a pressure roller 505 which is in contact with the support mechanism 4 is rollingly arranged in the vertical beam assembly 504 . The pressure roller 505 is rollingly arranged on the support mechanism 4 , thereby transmitting the force exerted on the hydraulic cylinder 506 to the support mechanism 4 .
[0031] In this embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, the inner ring positioning mechanism 1 includes a fixing seat 102 and an inner ring accommodating portion 101 for fixed-point loading of the bearing inner ring, and the fixing seat 102 is connected to the inner ring accommodating portion 101 .
[0032] In this embodiment, if Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the needle removal mechanism 7 includes a needle removal body 701 and an air pump 11. A plurality of needle grooves 703 for accommodating rolling needles are circumferentially and equidistantly provided at the end of the needle removal body 701. A suction hole 702 connected to the interior of the needle removal body 701 is provided on the inner wall of the needle groove 703. The air pump 11 is connected to the needle removal body 701 through a pipeline so that the suction hole 702 generates an adsorption force on the rolling needle, thereby keeping the rolling needle in the needle groove 703, thereby realizing the function of grabbing the rolling needle.
[0033] In a further embodiment, the end of the needle removal body 701 is provided with a docking groove 704 that is docked and matched with the retaining mechanism 9.

The air pump 11 is connected to the ring taking body 301 through a pipeline so that the air hole 303 generates an adsorption force on the inner ring of the bearing, thereby grabbing the inner ring of the bearing. During the press-fitting process, if the inner ring enters at an angle, the force on one end of the needle roller is much greater than that on the other end, which can easily cause the needle roller to bend, and the uneven force can also cause poor contact between the needle roller and the raceway, affecting the normal operation of the bearing. The present design ensures that the inner ring enters accurately and the force is uniform by sleeve-fitting the step portion 302 with the inner ring of the bearing. In a further implementation method, a guide slope 304 for guiding is provided at the end of the step portion 302.

In order to enable the pushing block 801 to perform piston movement in the needle loading cavity 808, the connecting tube 804 is connected to the two-way vacuum pump through a pipeline. The vacuum pump forms negative pressure and positive pressure in the piston cavity 802 to move the pushing block 801 in the needle loading cavity 808. The pushing block 801 pushes the needle roller to make it contact with the needle removal mechanism 7 inserted into the inner hole of the needle loading disk 803, so that the needle removal mechanism 7 absorbs the needle roller.
[0036] In a further embodiment, a loading chamber 806 for accommodating a baffle 805 is provided on the inner wall of the needle loading chamber 808, one end of the baffle 805 is rotatably disposed in the loading chamber 806 via a rotating shaft, a retaining spring 807 is connected between the baffle 805 and the inner wall of the loading chamber 806, thereby pushing the baffle 805 through the retaining spring 807 to limit the movement of the roller needle in the needle loading chamber 808, the baffle 805 cooperates with the pushing block 801 to form a space for accommodating the roller needle, the pushing block 801 pushes the roller needle so that the baffle 805 compresses the retaining spring 807, and then the baffle 805 is hidden in the loading chamber 806, and the pushing block 801 can push the roller needle to contact the needle removal mechanism 7, so that the needle removal mechanism 7 can absorb the roller needle and perform subsequent assembly procedures.

The pressurizing flanging portion 603 is a stamping upper die, which is used to stamp and flanging the open end of the outer ring of the bearing.
[0038] Working principle: The manipulator places the inner ring of the bearing in the inner ring positioning mechanism 1, and the outer ring of the bearing in the outer ring positioning and clamping mechanism 2 in turn. The outer ring positioning and clamping mechanism 2 will position and clamp the outer ring of the bearing, and at the same time, the bearing retainer is placed in the needle installation mechanism 8; The movable lifting mechanism 5 drives the needle taking mechanism 7 to dock with the needle loading mechanism 8. The needle loading mechanism 8 pushes the needle roller to be arranged in the needle groove 703 on the needle taking body 701. The suction hole 702 sucks the needle roller.

The mobile lifting mechanism 5 loaded with the inner ring grabbing mechanism 3 moves to the top of the inner ring positioning mechanism 1 to grab the inner ring, and then presses the inner ring into between the needle rollers of the bearing. During the press-fitting, the inner ring will push the retaining mechanism 9 out of the bearing again. After the press-fitting is completed, the inner ring grabbing mechanism 3 is lifted and the outer ring positioning clamping mechanism 2 releases the bearing. Under the action of the elastic thrust mechanism 10, the retaining mechanism 9 is driven to push the assembled bearing out of the outer ring positioning clamping mechanism 2, thereby realizing rapid unloading of the robot.
