Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of tracheal tube manufacturing technology, and in particular to an automatic core sleeve assembly device. Background Technology

[0002] Pneumatic fittings are a common component in the pneumatic valve industry. A pneumatic fitting consists of a main body and, sequentially, a sealing ring, a pressure ring, a core sleeve, and a straight-through button. The core sleeve is a crucial component, comprising a base, an internal toothed preload washer, and a retaining ring. The internal toothed preload washer and retaining ring are sequentially fitted into the base to form an assembly. Currently, core sleeves on the market are generally fed manually or semi-automatically. This assembly process requires significant labor costs, is inefficient, and introduces defective products. Therefore, there is an urgent need for equipment that can achieve fully automated core sleeve assembly. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic core sleeve assembly device to overcome the shortcomings of the above-mentioned technologies.

[0004] This invention designs an automatic core sleeve assembly device, including a turntable, on which a carrier that rotates with the turntable and is used for positioning the core sleeve assembly is provided. Around the turntable, the following are arranged in sequence:

[0005] The base assembly mechanism includes a first vibratory plate structure for providing and transferring the base onto a carrier, and a pressing assembly for pressing the base into the carrier to form a positioning.

[0006] An internal tooth preload washer assembly mechanism includes a second vibratory plate structure for providing an internal tooth preload washer and a sleeve assembly that docks with the second vibratory plate structure and transfers the internal tooth preload washer to a carrier so that the internal tooth preload washer is assembled in the base.

[0007] The retaining ring assembly mechanism includes a third vibratory disc structure for providing the retaining ring and a ring assembly assembly for transferring the retaining ring onto a carrier so that the retaining ring is assembled into the bottom bracket opening, thereby assembling the bottom bracket, the internal tooth preload washer and the retaining ring into a core sleeve assembly.

[0008] The pressing detection mechanism includes a pressing component for pressing down the retaining ring to ensure that the core sleeve assembly is assembled in place, and a sensing element disposed on the pressing component to determine whether the core sleeve assembly is assembled successfully.

[0009] The defective product unloading mechanism includes a top-loading assembly for unloading defective core sleeve assemblies detected by the sensing element from a carrier; and

[0010] The finished product unloading mechanism includes a second unloading component that unloads qualified core sleeve assemblies detected by the sensing element from the carrier.

[0011] Preferably, the turntable has an installation groove on its edge, the carrier is installed in the installation groove, and the carrier has a positioning hole for accommodating and positioning the base, the positioning hole being vertically through the carrier.

[0012] Further optimization includes a base, with a side groove on one side for the edge of the turntable to pass through, and the side groove extending to the other side of the base to engage with the first vibratory plate structure, so that the bottom support on the first vibratory plate structure can pass through the side groove and fall into the positioning hole of the carrier.

[0013] The base is also provided with a vertical through hole that runs through the base and communicates with the side groove. The side groove divides the through hole into an upper through hole and a lower through hole. The upper through hole and the lower through hole are located above and below the positioning hole of the vehicle, respectively, and the upper through hole, the positioning hole and the lower through hole are aligned coaxially. Lifting column one and lifting column two are slidably connected in the upper through hole and the lower through hole, respectively. The lower end of lifting column one presses down on the base support by descending, and the upper end of lifting column two supports the base support by rising, so that the base support can be accurately positioned in the positioning hole of the vehicle.

[0014] In a further optimization, the pressing component also includes a positioning block, which is fixed on the base and located between the upper through hole and the carrier. The positioning block has an arc-shaped notch, which is axially connected to the through hole. The inner wall of the arc-shaped notch is the same as the inner wall of the through hole, and the arc-shaped notch faces the first vibrating plate structure.

[0015] Preferably, the retrieval assembly includes a base with a groove for engaging the second vibrating disc structure. A vertical mounting hole communicating with the groove is located at the top of the base. A movable rod is movably connected within the mounting hole, and a first spring is provided between the movable rod and the base, allowing the movable rod to elastically float up and down relative to the base.

[0016] A sliding groove communicating with the slot is provided on one side of the seat body. A sliding block is slidably connected in the sliding groove. A limiting notch facing the second vibrating plate structure is provided on the sliding block. The internal tooth preload washer moves from the second vibrating plate structure to the limiting notch to form a limit. The sliding block pushes the internal tooth preload washer into the opening of the mounting hole.

[0017] It also includes a three-axis robotic arm structure one, the output end of which is provided with a lifting column three. The lifting column three is driven by the three-axis robotic arm structure one to be inserted into an internal tooth preload washer located in the mounting hole opening, so that the internal tooth preload washer is tightly fitted on the lifting column three and transferred to the top of the carrier's base through the three-axis robotic arm structure one.

[0018] The lifting column three is fitted with a lowering block one that reciprocates along the length of the lifting column three. The lowering block one presses down on the inner tooth pre-tightening washer on the lifting column three by moving downward, so that the inner tooth pre-tightening washer falls into the bottom support of the carrier after disengaging from the lifting column three.

[0019] Further optimization involves providing two parallel mounting holes on the groove, each mounting hole containing a movable rod and a first spring. The slide groove extends through opposite sides of the base, with sliding blocks slidably connected to both ends of the slide groove.

[0021] It also includes a second three-axis robotic arm structure, the output end of which is provided with a fourth lifting column. The fourth lifting column is driven by the second three-axis robotic arm structure to be inserted into a retaining ring located in a receiving groove, so that the retaining ring is fastened to the third lifting column and transferred to the upper part of the internal tooth preload washer of the carrier through the second three-axis robotic arm structure.

[0022] The lifting column four is fitted with a lowering block two that reciprocates along the length of the lifting column four. The lowering block two presses down on the retaining ring on the lifting column four by moving downward, so that the retaining ring disengages from the lifting column four and falls into the base of the vehicle.

[0023] Preferably, the pressing assembly includes a lifting column five that can be raised and lowered relative to the turntable. The lifting end of the lifting column five is provided with a pressing plate, and the pressing plate is provided with a pressing end. The pressing end presses down onto the retaining ring of the carrier so that the retaining ring, the internal tooth pre-tightening washer and the base are assembled in place. The sensing element is provided on the pressing end and faces the positioning hole to sense whether the core sleeve assembly is assembled in place.

[0024] Preferably, the top material assembly includes a mounting base, on which a lifting column six is ​​provided that can be raised and lowered relative to the turntable. The upper end of the lifting column six pushes out the defective core sleeve assembly from the positioning hole by rising. It also includes an air blowing device, the air blowing nozzle of which extends to the side above the positioning hole to blow off the pushed-out defective core sleeve assembly.

[0025] Further optimization includes a second mounting base, which has a channel. One port of the channel is connected to one side of the carrier. The second mounting base has a push block on the other side of the carrier. The push block can reciprocate relative to the port.

[0044] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0045] This invention includes a turntable 2, with a drive motor and corresponding transmission structure at the bottom of the turntable 2, enabling the turntable 2 to reciprocate horizontally. A carrier 3, rotating with the turntable 2 and used for positioning the core sleeve assembly 1, is mounted on the turntable 2. The core sleeve assembly 1 includes a base 11, an internal toothed pre-tightening washer 12, and a retaining ring 13. The base 11 is an annular structure with a stepped inner wall. The internal toothed pre-tightening washer 12 is a closed-loop aluminum washer with toothed structures distributed on its inner wall. The retaining ring 13 is a non-closed washer structure, i.e., an open washer structure. The internal toothed pre-tightening washer 12 and the retaining ring 13 are sequentially and coaxially placed within the base 11 to form a sleeve, thus forming the core sleeve assembly 1.

[0046] Around the turntable 2, the following components are arranged in sequence: base support assembly mechanism 4, internal tooth pre-tightening washer assembly mechanism 5, pressing and detection mechanism 7, defective product unloading mechanism 8, and finished product unloading mechanism 9.

[0047] The base assembly mechanism 4 includes a first vibratory plate structure 41 and a pressing component 42. The first vibratory plate structure 41 is used to provide and transfer the base 11 to the carrier 3, and the pressing component 42 is used to press the base 11 into the carrier 3 to form a position.

[0048] The internal tooth preload washer assembly mechanism 5 includes a second vibratory plate structure 51 and a sleeve assembly 52. ​​The second vibratory plate structure 51 is used to provide the internal tooth preload washer 12. The sleeve assembly 52 is connected to the second vibratory plate structure 51 and transfers the internal tooth preload washer 12 to the carrier 3 so that the internal tooth preload washer 12 is assembled in the base 11.

[0049] The retaining ring assembly mechanism 6 includes a third vibratory plate structure 61 and a retaining ring assembly 62. The third vibratory plate structure 61 is used to provide the retaining ring 13, and the retaining ring assembly 62 is used to transfer the retaining ring 13 to the carrier 3 so that the retaining ring 13 is assembled in the opening of the base 11, thereby assembling the base 11, the internal tooth preload washer 12 and the retaining ring 13 to form the core sleeve assembly 1.

[0050] The pressing detection mechanism 7 includes a pressing component 71 and a sensing element 72. The pressing component 71 is used to press down the retaining ring 13 to ensure that the core sleeve assembly 1 is assembled in place. The sensing element 72 is set on the pressing component 71 and determines whether the core sleeve assembly 1 is assembled successfully. It is usually a position sensor.

[0051] The defective product unloading mechanism 8 includes an ejector assembly 81, which unloads the defective core sleeve assembly 1 detected by the sensing element 72 from the carrier 3; and

[0052] The finished product unloading mechanism 9 includes unloading component 2 91, which unloads the qualified core sleeve assembly 1 detected by the sensing element 72 from the carrier 3.

[0053] The turntable 2 includes a horizontal platform and a bottom drive structure. The drive structure uses a motor or belt and gear mechanism to enable the horizontal platform to rotate along the axial center.

[0054] The edge of the platform surface is provided with an installation groove 21. The carrier 3 is installed in the installation groove 21. The carrier 3 rotates with the platform surface and rotates to each mechanism in sequence through the platform surface. The carrier 3 is provided with a positioning hole 31 for accommodating and positioning the base support 11. The base support 11 can be directly placed in the positioning hole 31 to form a positioning. The positioning hole 31 vertically penetrates the carrier 3.

[0055] The pressing component 42 includes a base 421. A side groove 422 is provided on one side of the base 421 for the edge of the turntable 2 to pass through. The side groove 422 extends to the other side of the base 421 to engage with the first vibrating plate structure 41, allowing the base support 11 descending from the first vibrating plate structure 41 to pass through the side groove 422 and fall into the positioning hole 31 of the carrier 3. The base 421 also has a vertical through hole that penetrates the base 421 and communicates with the side groove 422. The side groove 422 divides the through hole into an upper through hole 423 and a lower through hole 424. The upper through hole 423 and the lower through hole 424 are located above and below the positioning hole 31 of the carrier 3, respectively. The upper through hole 423, the positioning hole 31, and the lower through hole 424 are connected. The through holes 424 are aligned coaxially. Lifting column 1 425 and lifting column 2 426 are slidably connected in the upper through hole 423 and the lower through hole 424, respectively. In this embodiment, lifting column 1 425 and lifting column 2 426 are raised and lowered by driving components. The lower end of lifting column 1 425 and the upper end of lifting column 2 426 are raised and lowered by driving components. The driving components are usually motors to drive lifting column 1 425 and lifting column 2 426 to perform the raising and lowering action. The lower end of lifting column 1 425 presses down on the base support 11 by descending, and the upper end of lifting column 2 426 supports the base support 11 by rising, so that the base support 11 can be accurately positioned in the positioning hole 31 of the carrier 3.

[0056] The pressing assembly 42 also includes a positioning block 427, which is fixed on the base 421 and located between the upper through hole 423 and the carrier 3. The positioning block 427 has an arc-shaped notch 428, which is axially connected to the through hole. The inner wall of the arc-shaped notch 428 is the same as the inner wall of the through hole. The arc-shaped notch 428 faces the first vibrating plate structure 41. The bottom support 11 coming down from the first vibrating plate structure 41 enters the arc-shaped notch 428. The inner wall of the arc-shaped notch 428 acts as a block and limit for the bottom support 11, so that the bottom support 11 can be aligned with the lower through hole 424 and can be smoothly pressed down into the lower through hole 424.

[0057] The positioning block 427 is also equipped with a position sensor 429, which is used to sense the base 11 in the arc-shaped notch 428 to detect whether the base 11 has entered the arc-shaped notch 428 after coming down from the first vibrating plate structure 41.

[0058] The mounting assembly 52 includes a base 521, on which a groove 522 is formed for engaging with the second vibrating disc structure 51. An internal tooth pre-tightening washer 12 from the second vibrating disc structure 51 enters the groove 522. A vertical mounting hole 523, communicating with the groove 522, is formed at the top of the base 521. A movable rod 524 is movably connected within the mounting hole 523, vertically mounted within the mounting hole 523. A first spring is provided between the movable rod 524 and the base 521. 525, which allows the movable rod 524 to float up and down elastically relative to the base 521; a sliding groove 526 communicating with the slot 522 is provided on one side of the base 521, and a sliding block 527 is slidably connected in the sliding groove 526. In this embodiment, a drive motor is provided on the side of the base 521, and the telescopic end of the drive motor is connected to the sliding block 527. Under the drive of the drive motor, the sliding block 527 can perform telescopic movements along the sliding groove 526, so that the sliding block 527 can move toward the mounting hole 523;

[0059] The sliding block 527 has a limiting notch 528 facing the second vibrating plate structure 51. The internal tooth preload washer 12 enters the groove 522 directly from the second vibrating plate structure 51 and moves into the limiting notch 528 to form a limit. The sliding block 527 moves towards the mounting hole 523 under the drive of the drive motor. That is, the sliding block 527 pushes the internal tooth preload washer 12 into the opening of the mounting hole 523. At this time, the internal tooth preload washer 12 is located at the top of the movable rod 524.

[0060] It also includes a three-axis robotic arm structure 529, which includes a base fixed to a seat 521. The base has a horizontal guide rail, and a slider is slidably fitted onto the guide rail. The base also has a telescopic motor, and the slider is connected to a connecting seat. The connecting seat can reciprocate horizontally along the guide rail under the drive of the telescopic motor. The connecting seat has another drive motor, and the telescopic end of the drive motor has a lifting column 5210, allowing the lifting column 5210 to move horizontally and vertically via the three-axis robotic arm structure 529. The vertical reciprocating movement causes the lifting column 3 5210 to descend and insert into the internal tooth preload washer 12 located in the opening of the mounting hole 523. The inner ring wall of the internal tooth preload washer 12 has a toothed structure. Therefore, after the lifting column 3 5210 is inserted, the toothed structure of the internal tooth preload washer 12 causes it to be fitted onto the lifting column 3 5210. As the lifting column 3 5210 moves, it drives the internal tooth preload washer 12 to move above the carrier 3, that is, the internal tooth preload washer 12 moves to directly above the base 11.

[0061] It should be noted that when the lifting column 3 5210 is inserted into the mounting hole 523 to fit the inner tooth pre-tightening washer 12, the inner tooth pre-tightening washer 12 is stuck in the mounting hole 523. After the top of the lifting column 3 5210 passes through the inner tooth pre-tightening washer 12, it will continue to descend. Due to the elastic floating of the movable rod 524, the top of the lifting column 3 5210 will abut against the top of the movable rod 524 when it is inserted. The elastic buffer of the movable rod 524 prevents the lifting column 3 5210 from having a hard collision with the movable rod 524 when it descends, which makes it easier for the lifting column 3 5210 to be inserted into the inner tooth pre-tightening washer 12, thereby realizing the gripping of the inner tooth pre-tightening washer 12.

[0062] A lower pressure block 5211 is fitted on the lifting column 3 5210 and moves back and forth along the length of the lifting column 3 5210. In this embodiment, the lower pressure block 5211 has a hole and is fitted on the lifting column 3 5210 through the hole. The connecting seat is provided with a drive motor for driving the lower pressure block 5211. The drive motor drives the lower pressure block 5211 to move up and down along the lifting column 3 5210. The lower pressure block 5211 presses down on the internal tooth pre-tightening washer 12 on the lifting column 3 5210 by moving down, so that the internal tooth pre-tightening washer 12 is disengaged from the lifting column 3 5210 and falls into the base 11 of the carrier 3.

[0063] Furthermore, the groove 522 is provided with two parallel mounting holes 523. Each mounting hole 523 is provided with a movable rod 524 and a second spring 5212. The slide groove 526 passes through the opposite sides of the base 521. Sliding blocks 527 are slidably connected to both ends of the slide groove 526. The second spring 5212 is provided in the slide groove 526 between the two sliding blocks 527. When the two sliding blocks 527 move towards each other under the drive of the corresponding drive motor, that is, when the two sliding blocks 527 move towards the corresponding mounting hole 523, the two sliding blocks 527 compress the second spring 5212. After the two sliding blocks 527 compress the second spring 5212, they push the corresponding internal tooth pre-tightening washer 12 into the opening of each mounting hole 523. After the internal tooth pre-tightening washer 12 falls into the mounting hole 523, the extension end of the drive motor retracts, and the two sliding blocks 527 move in the opposite direction under the restoring force of the second spring 5212, so that the sliding blocks 527 return to the state of being misaligned with the mounting hole 523.

[0064] The ring assembly 62 includes a fixed base 621, on which a receiving groove 622 is provided to mate with the third vibrating plate structure 61. The retaining ring 13 on the third vibrating plate structure 61 moves into the receiving groove 622 to form a positioning.

[0065] It also includes a second three-axis robotic arm structure 623, whose structure is the same as that of the first three-axis robotic arm structure 529, and will not be described in detail here. The output end of the second three-axis robotic arm structure 623 is equipped with a fourth lifting column 624. The fourth lifting column 624 is driven by the second three-axis robotic arm structure 623 to insert into the retaining ring 13 located in the receiving slot 622, so that the retaining ring 13 is fitted outside the third lifting column 5210 and transferred to the top of the carrier 3 via the second three-axis robotic arm structure 623, that is, above the internal tooth pre-tightening washer 12. A second pressing block 625 is fitted on the fourth lifting column 624, which reciprocates along the length of the fourth lifting column 624. The second pressing block 625 presses down on the retaining ring 13 on the fourth lifting column 624 by moving downwards, so that the retaining ring 13 disengages from the fourth lifting column 624 and falls into the base 11 of the carrier 3. The structure and movement method of the second pressing block 625 are the same as those of the first pressing block 5211, and will not be described in detail here.

[0066] Since the retaining ring 13 is not a closed washer structure, that is, it has an opening, the lifting column 4 624 is directly inserted into the retaining ring 13. Due to the opening, the retaining ring 13 has a certain elasticity. After the retaining ring 13 opens, it is locked onto the lifting column.

[0067] The pressing assembly 71 includes a lifting column 711 that can be raised and lowered relative to the turntable 2. The lifting column 711 is driven by another drive motor to perform the lifting action. The lifting end of the lifting column 711 is provided with a pressing plate 712. The pressing plate 712 is provided with a pressing end. The bottom surface of the pressing end is directly pressed down onto the retaining ring 13 so that the retaining ring 13 and the internal tooth pre-tightening washer 12 can be pressed into the base 11 and assembled in place.

[0068] The sensing element 72 is located at the pressing end and is directly opposite the positioning hole 31. The sensing element 72 is a contact position sensor 429 to detect whether the retaining ring 13 is pressed to a horizontal position. This sensor is a conventional structure on the market, and its specific structure and principle will not be described in detail here.

[0069] The top-feeding assembly 81 includes a mounting base 811, on which a lifting column 812 that can be raised and lowered relative to the turntable 2 is provided. The driving structure of the lifting column 812 is the same as that of the lifting column 711. The upper end of the lifting column 812 pushes the defective core sleeve assembly 1 detected by the sensing element 72 out of the positioning hole 31 by rising. It also includes an air blowing device, which includes a support base, an air blowing nozzle 813 and an air pump. The support base extends to one side of the corresponding carrier 3 and is equipped with the air blowing nozzle 813. That is, the air blowing nozzle 813 is located on the side above the positioning hole 31 and faces the core sleeve assembly 1. The air blowing nozzle 813 is connected to the air pump. The air generated by the air pump is blown out through the air blowing nozzle 813 to blow down the defective core sleeve assembly 1 that has been pushed out of the positioning hole 31, thereby realizing the unloading of the defective core sleeve assembly 1.

[0070] The top material assembly 2 includes a support, on which a lifting column 7 is provided. The driving structure of the lifting column 7 is the same as that of the lifting column 6 812. The lifting end of the lifting column 7 performs a vertical lifting action. The lifting end of the lifting column 7 rises and passes through the positioning hole 31, thereby pushing the qualified core sleeve assembly 1 in the positioning hole 31 out of the positioning hole 31.
