Detailed implementation mode

[0033] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0034] As Figure 1 shown, the seat belt buckle force limiting device involved in the present invention includes a support plate, a steel wire rope, a sleeve, a torsion bar and a roller. A fixing hole is provided on the support plate for fixing the sleeve (not shown in the figure), and the torsion bar 4 passes through the sleeve, and both ends of the torsion bar 4 have splines, and the roller 3 has a keyhole matching the splines at the ends of the torsion bar 4, so that a roller 3 is fixedly provided at both ends of the torsion bar 4. As Figure 2 shown, an inclined spline surface 5 is provided on the spline. As Figure 3 shown, a roller protrusion 7 is provided on the roller 3 at a position opposite to the spline inclined surface. When riveting the force limiting device, the roller protrusion 7 can be pressed against the spline inclined surface 5, so that the two are riveted and fixed.

[0035] As Figure 4As shown in the figure, a torsion bar assembly device according to the present invention includes a frame 100. A torsion bar diameter detection device 200, a torsion bar positioning device 300, and a torsion bar riveting device are fixedly arranged on the frame 100. The torsion bar diameter detection device 200 is used to detect the diameter of the torsion bar. If the diameter of the torsion bar is within a certain error range, the next process is carried out; otherwise, it is discarded.

[0036] As Figure 5 shown, the torsion bar diameter detection device 200 includes an optoelectronic diameter detection system fixed to one side of a fixing plate 46 and a torsion bar fixing rod 47. A third cylinder 45 is fixedly arranged on the other side. A torsion bar fixing groove 44 is arranged on the torsion bar fixing rod 47. The piston rod of the third cylinder 45 passes through the fixing plate 46 to fix one end of the torsion bar in the torsion bar fixing groove 44. The optoelectronic diameter detection system includes an optoelectronic emitter 43 and an optoelectronic receiver 42. The end of the piston rod of the third cylinder 45 presses against one end of the torsion bar from below and fixes the other end in the torsion bar fixing groove 44. At this time, the optoelectronic diameter detection system works, and the optoelectronic emitter 43 and the optoelectronic receiver 42 measure the diameter of the torsion bar and display it on the display screen. If the diameter of the torsion bar is within the error range, it is used for assembling the force-limiting device of the seat belt buckle.

[0037] The torsion bar positioning device 300 includes an upper positioning device and a lower positioning device. As Figure 4 and 6 shown, the torsion bar positioning device 300 has two workstations. The upper positioning device is fixedly arranged on a guide rail fixing plate 48, and a blocking device 400 is fixedly arranged on the guide rail fixing plate 48 to block the movement of the lower positioning device. The blocking device 400 can be a rubber block.

[0038] As Figure 7 shown, the upper positioning device includes a first base 8 and a first cylinder 9. Both the first base 8 and the first cylinder 9 are fixedly connected to the frame. A first support seat 11 is fixedly arranged on one side surface of the first base 8, and the other side surface is connected to two parallel linear guide rails 10. The output end of the first cylinder 9 is connected to the first base 8, that is, the piston rod of the first cylinder 9 can make the first base 8 move up and down along the linear guide rails 10.

[0039] A first motor 12 is fixedly arranged on the first support seat 11. The output end of the first motor 12 is connected to a first rod 16 through a coupling 13, and an upper assembly block 17 is fixedly arranged at the end of the first rod 16. As Figure 10As shown, the upper assembly block 17 is concave, and is provided with a set number of protruding portions 21. The number of the protruding portions 21 is three, corresponding to the roller positioning holes 6 on the roller 3, and can be inserted into the roller positioning holes 6. The first motor 12 can drive the rotation of the first rod 16 and the upper assembly block 17 through the coupling 13, so as to adjust the position of the roller 3.

[0040] Further, a first rotating piece 14 is fixedly arranged on one side of the coupling 13. The first rotating piece 14 has a notch. A first groove-shaped photoelectric switch 15 corresponding to the first rotating piece 14 is fixedly arranged on the first support seat 11. The number of the first groove-shaped photoelectric switches 15 is two, and they are located on the same straight line passing through the center position of the first rotating piece 14. When the notch passes through one of the first groove-shaped photoelectric switches 15, this first groove-shaped photoelectric switch 15 presents a conducting state. When the first rotating piece 14 passes through one of the first groove-shaped photoelectric switches 15, this first groove-shaped photoelectric switch 15 disconnects.

[0041] As Figure 8 shown, the lower positioning device includes a second base 18; a lower assembly block 19 is fixedly arranged on one side of the second base 18. As Figure 11 shown, the lower assembly block 19 is concave, and is provided with a set number of protruding portions 21. The number of the protruding portions 21 is three, equivalent to the number of the roller positioning holes 6 in the roller 3, and can be inserted into the roller positioning holes 6.

[0042] Further, two pairs of detection notches 20 corresponding to each other are arranged on the lower assembly block 19. Photoelectric switches 22 corresponding to the detection notches 20 are also fixedly arranged on the second base 18. When the two photoelectric switches 22 and a pair of detection notches 20 are on the same straight line, when one of the rollers is in the concave area of the lower assembly block 19, the photoelectric switches 22 present a disconnected state.

[0043] Further, as Figure 8 shown, a second support seat 24 is fixedly arranged on one side of the second base 18. A second motor 23 and a second cylinder 26 are fixedly arranged on the second support seat 24; the output end of the second motor 23 is in transmission connection with a belt pulley 25 through a belt; the belt pulley 25 is fixedly connected with a rotating sleeve 36. When the second motor 23 works, it drives the belt pulley 25 to rotate through the belt, and the rotation of the belt pulley 25 can drive the rotation of the rotating sleeve 36.

[0044] The rotating sleeve 36 passes through the second base 18 and is fixedly connected thereto, and the end of the rotating sleeve 36 is fixedly connected to the lower fitting block 19. The rotation of the rotating sleeve 36 can drive the rotation of the lower fitting block 19, so that the position of the roller fixed in the concave area of the lower fitting block 19 can be adjusted. And the lower fitting block 19 has an axial through hole.

[0045] Further, a second rotating piece 37 is fixedly arranged on one side of the pulley 25, and the second rotating piece 37 has a notch; a second groove-shaped photoelectric switch 38 is fixedly arranged on the second support seat 24. The second rotating piece 37 has the same structure as the first rotating piece 14, and the size and angle of the notch are 90°, accounting for a quarter circle of the entire second rotating piece 37. The number of the second groove-shaped photoelectric switches 38 is also two and is located on a straight line passing through the center of the second rotating piece 37. Similarly, when the notch position passes through one of the second groove-shaped photoelectric switches 38, the second groove-shaped photoelectric switch 38 is turned on, and when other positions of the second rotating piece 37 pass, the second groove-shaped photoelectric switch 38 is turned off.

[0046] Further, as Figure 12 shown, the rotating sleeve 36 has a first receiving cavity 40 arranged axially, and a torsion bar storage column 28 is arranged in the first receiving cavity. And the rotating sleeve 36 has two ear plates, and is fixedly connected to the second base 18 through these two ear plates. As Figure 9 shown, the torsion bar storage column 28 has a second receiving cavity 33 arranged axially, and the opening of the second receiving cavity 33 has the same shape as the end of the torsion bar 4 and has a spline groove matching the spline. The piston rod 27 of the second cylinder 26 can be inserted into the second receiving cavity 33. And the second receiving cavity 33 is communicated with the through hole of the lower fitting block 19. During operation, a plurality of torsion bars 4 need to be placed in the second receiving cavity 33. When needed, the piston rod 27 of the second cylinder 26 pushes the torsion bar upward, and the torsion bar can be pushed into the seat belt buckle force limiting device, so that the two ends of the torsion bar 4 are assembled with the two rollers 3.

[0047] Further, two first fixing columns 39 are fixedly arranged on the second base 18, and a magnetic coupling rodless cylinder 30 is fixedly arranged through a cylinder fixing plate 41. A first connecting plate 31 is fixedly arranged on the magnetic coupling rodless cylinder 30, and a second fixing column 29 is fixedly arranged on the first connecting plate 31. When assembling the torsion bar, it is necessary to fix the steel wire rope connected thereto. The specific operation is to place the steel wire rope close to the support plate 1 between the two first fixing columns 39, and the loop part formed by folding the steel wire rope is sleeved on the second fixing column 29. When the magnetic coupling rodless cylinder 30 drives the first connecting plate 31 away from the seat belt buckle force limiting device, the second fixing column 29 tightens the steel wire rope 2, so that the steel wire rope can be fixed.

[0048] Further, the second support seat 24 is fixedly connected to the first synchronous belt 49 through a connecting plate, the cylinder fixing plate 41 is fixedly connected to the second synchronous belt 50, and the first synchronous belt 49 and the second synchronous belt 50 jointly drive the lower positioning device to move. When positioning, the lower positioning device is moved above the upper positioning device. And the blocking device 400 limits the lower positioning device.

[0049] The torsion bar riveting device rivets a roller protrusion 7 arranged at a position opposite to the spline inclined surface on the roller 3, presses the roller protrusion 7 against the spline inclined surface 5, so that the two are riveted and fixed. Specifically, two molds with the same contour as the roller 3 are used, and a cylinder with a large pressure is used to rivet the seat belt buckle force limiting device that is positioned and assembled, so that the roller protrusion 7 is deformed, so that the roller 3 is fixed to the torsion bar, thereby completing the assembly of the seat belt buckle force limiting device.

[0050] The preferred specific embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above. It should be understood that those of ordinary skill in the art can make many modifications and variations based on the concept of the present invention without creative labor. Therefore, all technical solutions that can be obtained by those skilled in the art in the technical field of the present invention based on the concept of the present invention through logical analysis, reasoning or limited experiments on the basis of the prior art should be within the protection scope determined by the claims.
