[0039] Specifically, the clutch outer ring supporting mechanism includes a support plate 1031 and a support plate drive connected to the support plate 1031. The support plate 1031 is slidably connected to the top of the bracket 101. A positioning groove for positioning the clutch outer ring B is provided on the support plate 1031, and a through hole for the clutch inner ring A to pass through is provided in the positioning groove. The support plate drive can drive the support plate 1031 to slide along the bracket 101. The support plate drive includes a servo motor 1032 and a connecting plate 1033 connected to the servo motor 1032. The connecting plate 1033 is fixed to the support plate 1031, and the servo motor 1032 can drive the support plate 1031 to slide back and forth along the bracket 101 through the connecting plate 1033.

[0040] Specifically, the steel ball supporting mechanism includes a tray 1041 and a tray drive connected to the tray 1041. The tray 1041 is correspondingly arranged below the through hole. The tray 1041 can support the steel balls C. The tray 1041 is of an arc structure. The top of the tray 1041 has a support plane for supporting the steel balls C, and convex portions for restricting the steel balls are provided at both ends of the support plane. This structure can gather multiple steel balls together to facilitate subsequent ball separation. The tray drive includes a lifting cylinder 1042 and a pneumatic vibrator 1043. The lifting cylinder 1042 and the pneumatic vibrator 1043 are respectively connected to the tray 1041. The lifting cylinder 1042 can drive the tray 1041 to move up and down, and the pneumatic vibrator 1043 can drive the tray to vibrate to prevent the steel balls C from stacking together.

[0041] Specifically, in combination with Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, the steel ball distributing mechanism includes a steel ball distributing component and a transfer drive connected to the steel ball distributing component. Among them, the transfer drive includes a swing motor 1051, a swing arm 1052, a lifting electric cylinder 1053, and a connecting seat 1054. The swing motor 1051 is connected to the swing arm 1052, and the swing motor 1051 can drive the swing arm 1052 to swing. The lifting electric cylinder 1053 is fixed on the swing arm 1052, and the lifting electric cylinder 1053 is connected to the steel ball distributing component through the connecting seat 1054. The lifting electric cylinder 1053 can drive the steel ball distributing component to move up and down;

[0042] Specifically, the steel ball distributing component includes an inner clamping manipulator 1055, a guiding seat 1056, and guiding strips 1057. The inner clamping manipulator 1055 can clamp the inner ring of the clutch from the inside. The guiding seat 1056 is fixed outside the clamping manipulator 1055. The guiding seat 1056 is of an annular structure and is correspondingly arranged above the through hole. A collar 1058 is fixed on the outer wall of the bottom end of the guiding seat 1056. A plurality of guiding grooves perpendicular to the horizontal plane are evenly formed on the outer wall of the guiding seat 1056 along its circumference. The guiding strips 1057 are respectively slidably connected in the guiding grooves. The guiding strips 1057 penetrate through the bottom ends of the guiding grooves and extend downward, and the length of the guiding strips 1057 extending downward gradually increases from one end to the other end. That is, there are multiple guiding strips 1057. The longest guiding strip is located at the central position above the support plate 1041. Taking the longest guiding strip as the center, the lengths of the guiding strips along its clockwise and counterclockwise directions gradually decrease until the shortest. The shortest guiding strip is arranged opposite to the longest guiding strip. The top ends of the guiding strips 1057 are elastically connected to the top end of the collar 1058 through springs 1059. The bottom ends of the guiding strips 1057 have inclined guiding surfaces.

[0043] Combined with Figures 1-5As shown in the figure, when the clutch automatic ball separating device is used alone as a semi-automatic device, the operator first places the inner ring A of the clutch at the clamping jaw 1021. The clamping jaw cylinder 1023 drives the clamping jaw 1021 to clamp the inner ring A of the clutch, achieving the positioning of the inner ring A of the clutch. Then the operator places the outer ring B of the clutch in the positioning groove on the support plate 1031, achieving the positioning of the outer ring B of the clutch. At this time, the outer ring B of the clutch is concentric with the inner ring A of the clutch. The servo motor 1032 drives the support plate 1031 to slide backward along the bracket 101 through the connecting plate 1033, causing a large gap on one side between the outer ring B of the clutch and the inner ring A of the clutch, that is, the outer ring B of the clutch is eccentrically arranged with the inner ring A of the clutch. The lifting cylinder 1042 drives the support plate 1041 to rise. The support plate 1041 is located between the outer ring B of the clutch and the inner ring A of the clutch. The operator can then place the corresponding number of steel balls C on the support plate 1041. The pneumatic vibrator 1043 vibrates the support plate 1041 to make the steel balls C evenly distributed. Then, the lifting electric cylinder 1053 drives the ball separating assembly to descend. The longest guide bar 1057 first contacts the steel balls C and separates the two steel balls at the center position of the support plate 1041. As each guide bar 1057 gradually descends, the steel balls C are separated one by one, and finally a circle is formed between the outer ring B of the clutch and the inner ring A of the clutch. The distance between adjacent two steel balls C is the same, achieving ball separation. Finally, the clamping manipulator 1055 clamps the inner ring A of the clutch, and the swing motor 1051 drives the swing arm 1052 to swing, sending the assembled assembly to other workstations to install other components of the clutch.

[0046] Specifically, as shown in combination with Figure 7 the figure, the outer ring feeding device of the clutch is used to realize the automatic feeding of the outer ring of the clutch, including an outer ring conveying mechanism 201, an outer ring handling mechanism 203, and an outer ring detection mechanism 202. The outer ring conveying mechanism 201 is used to automatically convey the outer ring of the clutch. The outer ring handling mechanism 203 is correspondingly arranged at the outlet end of the outer ring conveying mechanism 201 and is used to transfer the outer ring of the clutch sent out by the outer ring conveying mechanism 201 to the outer ring detection mechanism 202 or the outer ring support mechanism. The outer ring detection mechanism 202 is correspondingly arranged on one side of the outer ring conveying mechanism 201 and is used to detect the inner diameter of the outer ring of the clutch.

[0047] Specifically, as shown in combination with Figure 8As shown, the inner clutch ring feeding device is used to achieve automatic feeding of the inner clutch ring. Its structure is basically the same as that of the outer clutch ring feeding device, and includes an inner clutch ring conveying mechanism 301, an inner clutch ring handling mechanism 302, an inner clutch ring detection mechanism 303, and an inner clutch ring feeding manipulator 304. The inner clutch ring conveying mechanism 301 is used to automatically convey the inner clutch ring. The inner clutch ring handling mechanism 302 is correspondingly arranged at the outlet end of the inner clutch ring conveying mechanism 301 and is used to transfer the inner clutch ring sent out by the inner clutch ring conveying mechanism 301 to the inner clutch ring detection mechanism 303. The inner clutch ring detection mechanism 303 is correspondingly arranged on one side of the inner clutch ring conveying mechanism 301 and is used to detect the inner diameter of the inner clutch ring. The inner clutch ring feeding manipulator 304 is correspondingly arranged on one side of the inner clutch ring conveying mechanism 303 and is used to send the detected inner clutch ring to the inner clutch ring clamping mechanism.

[0048] Specifically, in combination with Figure 9 As shown, the steel ball feeding device is used to achieve automatic feeding of steel balls, and includes a steel ball cylinder 401 and a steel ball guiding mechanism 402 correspondingly arranged at the bottom outlet end of the steel ball cylinder 401. The steel ball cylinder 401 is used to store steel balls. There are multiple steel ball cylinders 401, and the sizes of the steel balls in each steel ball cylinder 401 are different. The corresponding steel balls can be selected according to the actual size of the clutch. The steel ball guiding mechanism 402 is used to send the steel balls onto the steel ball supporting mechanism.

[0049] Specifically, in combination with Figure 10 As shown, the cage assembly device is used to install the cage into the inner clutch ring and the outer clutch ring, and includes a positioning table 501, a cage feeding manipulator 503, and a cage bin 502. The positioning table 501 is used to position the assembled body sent out by the steel ball dividing mechanism. The cage feeding manipulator 503 is used to install the cage in the cage bin 502 into the assembled body.

[0050] During processing, in combination with Figures 6-10As shown, the clutch outer ring feeding device 2 and the clutch inner ring feeding device 3 operate simultaneously. The clutch outer ring conveying mechanism 201 conveys the clutch outer ring to the outlet end. The clutch outer ring handling mechanism 203 sends the clutch outer ring to the clutch outer ring detection mechanism 202. The clutch outer ring detection mechanism 202 detects the inner diameter of the clutch outer ring. After the detection is correct, the clutch outer ring handling mechanism 203 sends the clutch outer ring to be positioned on the clutch outer ring support mechanism of the clutch automatic ball separating device. Similarly, after the detection is correct, the clutch inner ring is sent by the handling mechanism to be clamped and positioned on the clutch inner ring clamping mechanism. At this time, the ball feeding device starts to feed balls, and the balls fall into the gap between the clutch outer ring and the clutch inner ring. The ball separating mechanism performs the ball separating operation. After completion, the assembled body is sent to the positioning table 501, and the cage feeding manipulator 503 loads the cage in the cage bin 502 into the assembled body to complete the assembly of the clutch. The finished product after assembly is sent to the subsequent process by the manipulator, thus completing the fully automated processing.
