[0002] Bearings are key components widely used in modern industry. Their performance directly affects the efficiency and reliability of mechanical equipment. The core components of bearings include rolling elements (such as balls or rollers), inner rings, outer rings, and retaining brackets. The retaining brackets support and guide the rolling elements to ensure that they run along the correct trajectory and avoid mutual contact and friction, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the bearings. The materials and structures of the retaining brackets are varied, including metal, plastic, and ceramic. The shapes also vary depending on the bearing type and application scenario, such as cylindrical, spherical, needle-shaped, etc. Regardless of the type of retaining bracket, its precise positioning is a key factor in ensuring the performance and life of the bearing.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the dial 5 is provided with several matching grooves 10, and the inner middle position of the matching groove 10 is fixedly connected with an insert block 11, and the front end of the insert block 11 matches with the gap of the retaining bracket 2, and the mounting seat 4 is provided with a notch 12, which is used for the unqualified retaining bracket 2 to fall into the inside of the blanking trough 9, and the matching groove 10 and the retaining bracket 2 are movably fitted, and the retaining bracket 2 enters the inner side of the matching groove 10 after coming out of the outlet of the loading trough 8, and the insert block 11 is inserted into the gap of the retaining bracket 2. If the insert block 11 is not inserted into the gap of the retaining bracket 2, when the retaining bracket 2 rotates with the dial 5, the retaining bracket 2 will fall into the inside of the blanking trough 9 at the notch 12.

[0025] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the control assembly 6 includes a guide frame 601, a toothed disc 602, a gear 603, a rotating rod 604 and a rotating shaft 605. The rotating shaft 605 penetrates the axis of the rotating rod 604 and the axis of the gear 603, and the rotating shaft 605 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 604 and the gear 603. A plurality of control slots 18 are provided at the bottom end of the guide frame 601, and a driving pin 13 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating rod 604, and the driving pin 13 cooperates with the control slot 18. The axis of the toothed disc 602 is movably connected to the support frame 3, and the toothed disc 602 Meshing with the gear 603, the axis of the guide frame 601 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the dial 5, the bottom end of the support frame 3 is fixedly connected with the servo motor 14, and the output end of the servo motor 14 is fixedly connected to the axis of the gear disk 602, the gear 603 and the rotating rod 604 are movably connected to the support frame 3 through the rotating shaft 605, the end of the rotating rod 604 away from the driving pin 13 is fixedly connected with the tail block 15, the bottom end of the guide frame 601 is fixedly connected with a plurality of arc blocks 16, and the outer side surface of the tail block 15 is movably connected with the inner side surface of the arc block 16.

[0026] The servo motor 14 is started to drive the toothed disc 602 to rotate. Since the toothed disc 602 is meshed with the gear 603, the gear 603 and the rotating rod 604 are controlled to rotate around the rotating shaft 605, so that the driving pin 13 and the tail block 15 rotate around the rotating shaft 605, so that the driving pin 13 enters the interior of the control groove 18 during the rotation. During the active cooperation between the driving pin 13 and the control groove 18, the guide frame 601 is pushed to rotate around its rotating shaft, thereby driving the dial 5 to rotate synchronously by ninety degrees, and controlling the intermittent rotation of the retaining bracket 2, so that when the retaining bracket 2 passes through the notch 12, the retaining bracket 2 that cannot be positioned by the insert block 11 can be screened out and picked out, ensuring that the retaining bracket 2 that is clamped and transferred is the retaining bracket 2 that meets the positioning requirements.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, the clamping assembly 7 includes a slide rail 701, a slider 702, a controller 703 and a gripper 704. The slide rail 701 is fixedly connected to the top of the workbench 1, and the slider 702 is slidably connected to the slide rail 701. The controller 703 is fixedly connected to the top of the slider 702, and the front end of the controller 703 is fixedly connected to the gripper 704. The top of the mounting seat 4 is provided with an avoidance groove 17 for the bottom insertion of the gripper 704.

[0028] When the qualified retaining bracket 2 rotates to the side of the gripper 704, the slider 702 is moved forward along the slide rail 701 through the driving mechanism, thereby pushing the bottom gripping block of the gripper 704 to be inserted into the inside of the avoidance groove 17, so that the retaining bracket 2 is located between the gripping blocks of the gripper 704, and the gripper 704 is used through the controller 703 to tighten and clamp the retaining bracket 2, which is beneficial for the gripper 704 to stop in the gap of the dial 5, and the retaining that meets the requirements will be transferred from the top of the mounting seat 4, thereby improving the operating efficiency and accuracy.

[0029] Working principle: When in use, first, the holding bracket 2 is moved from the inside of the feeding trough 8 to the top of the mounting seat 4, and is stuck to the matching groove 10 of the dial 5. If the plug block 11 inside the matching groove 10 is inserted into the gap of the holding bracket 2, the holding bracket 2 can rotate together with the dial 5 and will not fall when passing through the notch 12. If the plug block 11 is not inserted into the gap of the holding bracket 2, the holding bracket 2 will fall into the inside of the blanking trough 9 and be picked out when passing through the notch 12 due to its own asymmetric gravity; start the servo motor 14 to drive the toothed disc 602 to rotate. Since the toothed disc 602 is meshed with the gear 603, the gear 603 and the rotating rod 604 are controlled to rotate around the rotation axis 605, so that the driving pin 13 and the tail block 15 rotate around the rotation axis 605, so that the driving pin 13 enters the inside of the control groove 18 during the rotation. During the process of active cooperation 18, the guide frame 601 is pushed to rotate around its rotating axis, thereby driving the dial 5 to rotate synchronously by ninety degrees, so that the retaining bracket 2 inside the matching groove 10 rotates ninety degrees along the surface of the mounting seat 4 to the notch 12, and finally rotates to the side of the gripper 704. When the driving pin 13 is away from the control groove 18, the tail block 15 is movably connected with the inner side of the arc block 16; in addition, when the qualified retaining bracket 2 rotates to the side of the gripper 704, the slider 702 is moved forward along the slide rail 701 through the driving mechanism, thereby pushing the bottom gripping block of the gripper 704 to insert into the inside of the avoidance groove 17, so that the retaining bracket 2 is located between the gripping blocks of the gripper 704, and through the controller 703, the gripper 704 is used to tighten and clamp the retaining bracket 2, and then the slider 702 is controlled to be away from the dial 5, and finally the retaining bracket 2 is moved to the next process.
