Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of gear cover manufacturing technology, specifically to a gear cover assembly system and method. Background Technology
[0002] The assembly of gear covers typically involves multiple steps to install the drive wheel, driven wheel, and spring onto the cover. First, the drive wheel and driven wheel must be precisely positioned to ensure proper clearance with the cover, guaranteeing smooth transmission. Next, the spring is carefully placed in the appropriate location, utilizing its elasticity to provide cushioning and assistance to the gear system. Throughout the assembly process, strict control over the installation accuracy and force of each component is necessary to prevent malfunctions and wear caused by improper assembly, ensuring the efficient operation of the gear system.
[0003] However, when assembling the above process, in order to facilitate the installation of the drive wheel and driven wheel, the cover is generally horizontally restricted inside the mold by the limiting mold. It can only limit in the horizontal direction and cannot limit in the vertical direction. During assembly, the overall stability of the gear cover is poor. Moreover, when assembling gear covers of different specifications, different molds need to be changed. Because there are many workstations, disassembly and assembly are inconvenient, time-consuming and labor-intensive. Summary of the Invention

[0048] Preferably, a CNC control console is fixedly installed on the top of the worktable for controlling the operation of the machining mechanism and the intermittent rotation of the rotary table.
[0049] The present invention also provides a method of using a gear cover assembly system, including the following specific steps:
[0050] Step 1: Start the machining mechanism and rotary table through the CNC console. The feeding component can clamp the gear cover into the mold on the rotary table. At this time, the rotary table can drive the current mold to rotate to the bottom of the grease dotting and driven wheel assembly component, thereby performing the grease dotting and driven wheel assembly operation.
[0051] Step 2: During the rotation, the transmission rod slides down from the adjustment plate and is pressed against the fixed ring by the elastic force of the fourth compression spring, which can drive the transmission plate to move outward of the transmission groove. At this time, the extrusion block will be stuck into the middle recess of the transmission plate under the elastic force of the second compression spring. At this time, the limiting plate will fit against the upper edge of the gear cover that needs to be limited, realizing the limitation during the assembly process.
[0052] Step 3: After the grease application and driven wheel assembly are completed, the rotating table will drive the gear cover to rotate sequentially to the transmission wheel rotation adjustment assembly and spring assembly assembly to complete the assembly of the transmission wheel and spring;
[0053] Step 4: After the transmission wheel and spring are assembled, the rotating table will drive the gear cover to rotate to the bottom of the detection and unloading component. At the same time, the transmission rod will slide back to the adjustment plate. At this time, the transmission plate will move into the transmission groove. Under the pressure of the transmission plate, the pressing block will make the limiting plate move away from the gear cover, thereby releasing the vertical limit and allowing the detection and unloading operation to be performed.
[0054] Step 5: After the material unloading operation, the rotating table can drive the empty mold to rotate back to the bottom of the loading component to realize the cyclic assembly work.
[0055] This invention discloses a gear cover assembly system, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0056] (1) The present invention utilizes the cooperative arrangement of the installation mechanism, the limiting mechanism and the transmission mechanism so that when the rotating table rotates intermittently, the limiting mechanism can limit the gear cover in the vertical direction during the assembly process through the transmission component, without affecting the assembly process. At the same time, during the inspection and loading / unloading process, the limiting mechanism can automatically release the vertical limit on the gear cover through the transmission component. Furthermore, when it is necessary to change the mold, the installation mechanism can release the fixing of the installation plate by the installation mechanism through the transmission mechanism, which is convenient for mold replacement, saves time and effort, and is easy to use.
[0057] (2) The present invention utilizes the installation cylinder, lifting rod, snap-fit rod, slider, first compression spring and disassembly rod in a coordinated manner. The elastic force of the first compression spring can be used to ensure that the snap-fit rod is always in the extended state without the influence of external force, thereby enabling multi-point positioning of the installation plate with the fixed mold. The opening of the inclined surface of the snap-fit rod facilitates installation by pressing, making the operation simple and convenient.
[0058] (3) The present invention utilizes the coordinated arrangement of lifting plate, limiting plate, positioning pin, positioning rod, pressing rod, squeezing rod and third compression spring, so that when vertically limiting gear covers of different specifications, the positioning rod can be released from the limiting position of the lifting plate by pressing rod, thereby allowing the lifting plate to adjust its height. Then, the position of the limiting plate can be adjusted by positioning pin, so that the limiting plate can fit exactly at the upper edge of the gear cover to be limited when the limiting is required. This does not affect the installation and can limit the vertical direction, making it convenient to use.
[0059] (4) This invention utilizes a combination of a transmission plate, a sliding rod, a fourth compression spring, a transmission rod, a fixed ring, an adjusting plate, and a disassembly assembly. Under the elastic force of the fourth compression spring, the transmission rod can closely adhere to the inner wall of the fixed ring when the rotating table rotates, and drive the transmission plate to move when it encounters the adjusting plate. This allows for vertical positioning of the gear cover during the assembly process. Simultaneously, during the inspection and loading / unloading process, the transmission plate can compress the extrusion block, thereby pushing the sleeve plate to move via the moving rod, causing the limiting plate to move away from the gear cover, thus releasing the vertical positioning of the gear cover. When it is necessary to disassemble the mounting plate to replace the mold, the disassembly assembly can be removed. At this time, the transmission rod can continue to move outward, thereby pulling the transmission plate through the pull groove. This allows the disassembly groove on the transmission plate to simultaneously compress multiple disassembly rods, causing multiple lifting rods to descend synchronously, causing the snap-fit rod to disengage from the snap-fit hole. This allows for one-step disassembly of the mounting plate, facilitating the disassembly and replacement of the mold on the mounting plate, and making it convenient to use.

[0075] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0076] This application provides a gear cover assembly system that solves the problems of the inability to vertically limit the gear cover and the inconvenience of replacing multiple molds 5. It enables vertical limiting of the gear cover during the assembly process without affecting the assembly process. At the same time, during the inspection and loading / unloading process, the transmission component 8 can release the vertical limiting mechanism 7 of the gear cover. Furthermore, when it is necessary to replace the mold, the transmission mechanism 8 can release the fixing of the mounting plate 4 by the mounting mechanism 6, which is convenient for replacing the mold 5. It saves time and effort and is easy to use.
[0077] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0078] This invention discloses a gear cover assembly system.
[0079] According to the appendix Figure 1 As shown in Figure 13, the device includes a worktable 1, on which a machining mechanism 2 for assembling the gear cover is mounted. A rotating platform 3 is rotatably mounted on the worktable 1 via a drive component. Mounting plates 4 are equidistantly arranged on the rotating platform 3. A mold 5 for limiting the horizontal displacement of the gear cover is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting plates 4. An installation limiting device is provided on the rotating platform 3, which includes an installation mechanism 6, a limiting mechanism 7, and a transmission mechanism 8. The installation mechanism 6 is located inside the rotating platform 3 and is used for multi-point engagement of the mounting plates 4. The limiting mechanism 7 is located inside the rotating platform 3 and is used for multi-point restriction of the vertical displacement of the gear cover. The linear displacement transmission mechanism 8 is located between the worktable 1 and the rotating table 3. It is used to adjust the position of the limiting mechanism 7 and disassemble the mounting mechanism 6. The transmission mechanism 8 can limit the gear cover vertically during the assembly process without affecting the assembly process. At the same time, during the inspection and loading / unloading process, the transmission mechanism 8 can release the limiting mechanism 7 from the vertical limit of the gear cover. Also, when it is necessary to change the mold 5, the transmission mechanism 8 can release the mounting mechanism 6 from fixing the mounting plate 4, making it convenient to change the mold 5, saving time and effort, and making it easy to use.
[0080] Specifically, the installation mechanism 6 includes an installation cylinder 61, a lifting rod 62, a locking rod 63, a slider 64, a first compression spring 65, and a disassembly rod 66. The installation cylinder 61 is equidistantly embedded inside the rotating table 3. The installation plate 4 has equidistantly spaced installation grooves that mate with the installation cylinder 61, allowing the installation plate 4 to be positioned on the rotating table 3. The lifting rod 62 is slidably inserted into the inner cavity of the installation cylinder 61. The lifting rod 62 has a locking groove inside. One end of the locking rod 63 is slidably inserted into the inner cavity of the locking groove. Both sides of the inner wall of the installation groove have locking holes. The other end of the locking rod 63 passes through the installation cylinder 61 and is slidably inserted into the inner cavity of the locking hole. The other end of the locking rod 63 has an inclined surface. Both sides of the inner wall of the locking groove have symmetrically spaced first inclined grooves. The slider 64 is slidably inserted into the inner cavity of the first inclined groove. The slider 64 is fixedly connected to the locking rod 63. The first compression spring 65... The first compression spring 65 is located inside the mounting cylinder 61. One end of the first compression spring 65 is fixedly connected to the lifting rod 62, and the other end of the first compression spring 65 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the mounting cylinder 61. The first compression spring 65 is always in a compressed state, thus providing a stable upward elastic force to the lifting rod 62. This allows the locking rod 63 to always be in an extended state without external force, enabling multi-point positioning of the mounting plate 4 on which the mold 5 is fixed. The inclined surface of the locking rod 63 facilitates quick installation by pressing, making the operation simple and convenient. One end of the disassembly rod 66 passes through the mounting cylinder 61 and is fixedly connected to the lifting rod 62. The other end of the disassembly rod 66 cooperates with the transmission mechanism 8. The disassembly rod 66 facilitates the quick descent of the lifting rod 62 during disassembly, thereby causing the locking rod 63 to disengage from the locking hole, allowing the molds 5 on the mounting plate 4 to be disassembled and replaced one by one.
[0081] Specifically, the limiting mechanism 7 includes a sleeve plate 71, a moving rod 72, a pressing block 73, a second compression spring 74, and a limiting assembly 75. The top of the rotating platform 3 has equidistant moving grooves. The sleeve plate 71 is slidably disposed inside the moving grooves. One end of the moving rod 72 is fixedly connected to the sleeve plate 71, and the other end of the moving rod 72 is slidably inserted into the inner wall of the moving groove. The interior of the rotating platform 3 has equidistant transmission grooves. Pressing grooves are formed on both sides of the inner wall of the transmission grooves. The pressing block 73 is slidably inserted into the inner cavity of the pressing groove and is fixedly connected to the other end of the moving rod 72. The second compression spring 74... 4. The second compression spring 74 is sleeved on the outside of the moving rod 72. One end of the second compression spring 74 is fixedly connected to the extrusion block 73, and the other end of the second compression spring 74 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the extrusion groove. The second compression spring 74 is always in a compressed state, so that it can provide a stable elastic force to the extrusion block 73, so that the extrusion block 73 can be tightly attached to the transmission plate 81. At the same time, the limiting component 75 on the sleeve 71 can be attached to the upper edge of the gear cover, so as to facilitate the vertical limiting of the gear cover. The limiting component 75 is set inside the sleeve 71 to limit the vertical displacement of the gear cover.
[0082] Furthermore, the limiting assembly 75 includes a lifting plate 751, a limiting plate 752, a positioning pin 753, a positioning rod 754, a pressing rod 755, a squeezing rod 756, and a third compression spring 757. The lifting plate 751 is slidably inserted into the inner cavity of the sleeve plate 71, and the limiting plate 752 is slidably inserted into the lifting plate 751. The limiting plate 752 is used to fit the gear cover. The positioning pin 753 is threadedly inserted into the top end of the lifting plate 751 to fit the limiting plate 752 and restrict movement. The displacement is achieved by providing positioning grooves on both sides of the lifting plate 751 and positioning holes on both sides of the inner wall of the sleeve plate 71. One end of the positioning rod 754 is slidably inserted into the inner cavity of the positioning groove, and the other end of the positioning rod 754 is slidably inserted into the inner cavity of the positioning hole. A pressing groove is provided between the positioning grooves, and a pressing rod 755 is rotatably mounted inside the pressing groove via a rotating shaft. The pressing rods 755 are arranged in a crisscross pattern, and one end of the pressing rod 755 has a second inclined groove. One end of the pressing rod 756 is connected to the first... The inner cavities of the two inclined grooves are slidably interlocked. The other end of the pressing rod 756 is fixedly connected to the positioning rod 754. One end of the third compression spring 757 is fixedly connected to the positioning rod 754, and the other end of the third compression spring 757 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the pressing groove. The third compression spring 757 is always in a compressed state, thus providing a stable elastic force to the positioning rod 754, allowing the positioning rod 754 to be stably engaged with the positioning hole. At the same time, the pressing rod 755 can extend, so that when vertically limiting gear covers of different specifications, the positioning rod 754 can be released from the limiting position of the lifting plate 751 by the pressing rod 755, thereby allowing the height of the lifting plate 751 to be adjusted. Then, the position of the limiting plate 752 can be adjusted by the positioning pin 753, so that the limiting plate 752 can fit exactly at the upper edge of the gear cover to be limited when the limiting is required. This does not affect the installation and can limit the vertical direction, making it convenient to use.
[0083] Specifically, the transmission mechanism 8 includes a transmission plate 81, a slide rod 82, a fourth compression spring 83, a transmission rod 84, a fixing ring 85, an adjusting plate 86, and a disassembly assembly 87. The transmission plate 81 is slidably disposed inside the transmission groove. Disassembly grooves are equidistantly provided on both sides of the transmission plate 81. The other end of the disassembly rod 66 is slidably inserted into the inner cavity of the disassembly groove. The pressing block 73 cooperates with the transmission plate 81. The disassembly groove has an L-shaped cross-section and consists of an inclined groove and a horizontal groove. A pull groove is provided on the outer wall of the transmission plate 81. The pull groove facilitates the insertion of fingers to pull the transmission plate 81, causing the transmission plate 81 to press the disassembly rod 66 through the inclined inner wall of the groove. The lifting rod 62 can be lowered, causing the locking rod 63 to disengage from the locking hole, allowing the molds 5 on the mounting plate 4 to be disassembled and replaced one by one. The transmission plate 81 has an hourglass-shaped cross-section. When the extrusion block 73 is located in the middle recess of the transmission plate 81, the elastic force of the second compression spring 74 can be used to vertically limit the gear cover with the limiting plate 752. After the extrusion block 73 is displaced and extruded by the transmission plate 81, it will move the limiting plate 752 away from the gear cover through the sleeve plate 71, thus not affecting the normal detection and loading / unloading operation of the gear cover. One end of the slide rod 82 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the transmission groove, and the other end of the slide rod 82... The fourth compression spring 83 is sleeved on the outside of the slide rod 82 and is slidably inserted into the inner cavity of the transmission plate 81. One end of the fourth compression spring 83 is fixedly connected to the transmission plate 81, and the other end is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the transmission groove. The fourth compression spring 83 is always in a compressed state, so that the transmission rod 84 on the transmission plate 81 can be tightly pressed against the fixing ring 85. The transmission rod 84 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the transmission plate 81. The bottom end of the rotating table 3 is provided with through slots at equal intervals. The transmission rod 84 is slidably inserted into the inner cavity of the through slots. The fixing ring 85 is fixedly connected to the top end of the worktable 1. The transmission rod 84 and the inner wall of the fixing ring 85 cooperate with each other to adjust... The section plate 86 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed ring 85 and is used to guide the displacement of the transmission rod 84. When the rotating table 3 rotates, the transmission rod 84 can fit tightly against the inner wall of the fixed ring 85 and drive the transmission plate 81 to move when it encounters the adjusting plate 86. This achieves vertical limitation of the gear cover in the assembly process when it fits against the inner wall of the fixed ring 85. At the same time, in the inspection and loading / unloading process, the transmission plate 81 can squeeze the extrusion block 73, thereby pushing the sleeve plate 71 to move through the moving rod 72, so that the limiting plate 752 moves away from the gear cover, thereby releasing the vertical limitation of the gear cover. The disassembly component 87 is set inside the fixed ring 85.
[0084] Furthermore, the disassembly assembly 87 includes a disassembly plate 871 and bolts 872. The outer wall of the fixing ring 85 has a T-shaped groove. The disassembly plate 871 is slidably inserted into the inner cavity of the T-shaped groove. The outer wall of the disassembly plate 871 has symmetrical countersunk holes. The inner wall of the T-shaped groove has symmetrical mounting holes. The bolts 872 pass through the countersunk holes and are slidably inserted into the inner cavity of the mounting holes. The disassembly plate 871 is part of the fixing ring 85 and can form a perfect ring, which facilitates the limiting of the transmission rod 84. At the same time, when it is necessary to disassemble the mold 5, the disassembly plate 871 is removed, thereby releasing the limiting of the transmission plate 81 and the transmission rod 84. The transmission plate 81 can then be pulled by the groove to realize the disassembly operation of the mold 5.
[0085] Specifically, the processing mechanism 2 includes a feeding assembly 21, a grease application and driven wheel assembly 22, a transmission wheel rotation adjustment and fitting assembly 23, a spring assembly 24, and a detection and unloading assembly 25. The feeding assembly 21 is located at the top of the worktable 1 and is used to send the gear cover to the inside of the mold 5. The feeding assembly 21 can intermittently clamp the gear cover material one by one into the mold 5 above the rotating table 3 using the grippers. The grease application and driven wheel assembly 22 is located at the top of the worktable 1 and is used to apply grease to the gear cover and install the driven wheel. The grease application and driven wheel assembly 22 is an independent structure that integrates the grease application mechanism and the driven wheel assembly mechanism. The gear cover material is conveyed to the bottom of this assembly via the rotating table 3. When the material reaches the bottom of this assembly, the upper and lower cylinders of the grease application mechanism extend. After extension, the grease is applied by the grease application valve switch. The driven wheel mechanism can simultaneously remove the driven wheel using the upper and lower cylinders. After the above actions are completed, the mechanism moves in CNC mode from the driven wheel pick-up position to the driven wheel assembly position for gear assembly. After gear assembly, the mechanism moves back to the gear pick-up position in CNC mode to pick up the gear and wait for the next material supply, repeating this action. The transmission wheel rotation adjustment and fitting assembly 23 is set at the top of the worktable 1 and is used to install and adjust the transmission wheel. The transmission wheel rotation adjustment and fitting assembly 23 mainly uses CNC movement, slide cylinder, pneumatic gripper, and CNC rotation to assemble the transmission wheel. The mechanism moves in CNC mode to the drive wheel pick-up position, and uses the slide cylinder and pneumatic gripper to pick up the transmission wheel. After picking up the transmission wheel, the mechanism moves in CNC mode to the drive wheel installation position. When it reaches the drive wheel installation position, it uses the slide cylinder and pneumatic gripper to install the transmission wheel. The most important part of this process is that the motor on the mechanism needs to rotate in CNC mode to make a circular swing with the driven wheel. For the matching assembly, the spring assembly assembly 24 is set at the top of the worktable 1 and is used to install the spring on the gear cover. The spring assembly assembly 24 is a two-stage push-type top spring mechanism. The spring is picked up and assembled by the offset slide cylinder. When the offset slide cylinder extends to the spring picking position, the spring flows into the spring material groove fixed above the offset slide cylinder. When the sensor detects the presence of the spring, the offset slide cylinder returns and waits for the gear cover material to be conveyed to the front of this mechanism by the turntable mechanism. The first stage cylinder or motor CNC extends to the designated position. When the first stage reaches the designated position, the second stage cylinder or motor CNC extends again. The ejector pin assembles the spring through the spring material groove. The detection and unloading assembly 25 is set at the top of the worktable 1 and is used to detect and unload the assembled gear cover. The detection and unloading assembly 25 mainly consists of motor CNC movement, three-axis cylinder, and pneumatic gripper combination.The driven wheel detection sensor, transmission wheel detection sensor, and spring sensor are integrated and fixed on the pneumatic gripper. When the motor CNC moves to the designated position, in conjunction with the three-axis cylinder and the pneumatic gripper, the driven wheel detection sensor, transmission wheel detection sensor, and spring sensor begin to detect whether the corresponding parts assembled with the gear cover are present, thereby judging and screening good and defective products. All components of the above processing mechanism 2 are existing mechanisms and will not be described in detail.
[0086] Furthermore, a CNC control console 9 is fixedly installed on the top of the workbench 1 to control the operation of the machining mechanism 2 and the intermittent rotation of the rotary table 3. The CNC control console 9 is electrically connected to an external power supply through an external switch, which can drive the rotary table 3 so that multiple molds 5 pass through each machining component of the machining mechanism 2 one by one, thereby realizing the automated assembly of the gear cover.
