Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of automated production and assembly of electric actuators, and in particular to an assembly method for automatic assembly equipment of gear shafts on actuator shaft plates. Background Art

[0002] The actuator is an indispensable and important part of the automatic control system. Its function is to receive the control signal sent by the controller, change the size of the controlled medium, and thus maintain the controlled variable at the required value or within a certain range; the actuator can be divided into three categories according to its energy form: pneumatic, hydraulic, and electric. Pneumatic actuators use compressed air as energy, and are characterized by simple structure, reliable and stable operation, large output thrust, convenient maintenance, fireproof and explosion-proof, and low price. Therefore, they are widely used in chemical, papermaking, oil refining and other production processes. It can be easily used with passive instruments; even when using electric instruments or computer control, as long as the electrical signal is converted into a standard air pressure signal of 20-100kPa through an electric-to-gas converter or an electric-to-gas valve positioner, pneumatic actuators can still be used; electric actuators have convenient energy access and rapid signal transmission, but complex structure and poor explosion-proof performance; hydraulic actuators are basically not used in chemical, oil refining and other production processes, and their characteristics are large output thrust.

[0003] Regarding the electric actuator, you can refer to our prior patent with patent number ZL202220242715.8, which discloses: "A double-sealed electric actuator, including a housing assembly, a driving device arranged in the housing assembly, a reduction transmission device connected to the driving device, and an output component connected to the output end of the reduction transmission device. The housing assembly includes an inner housing and an outer housing. The outer housing has an upper opening, and the inner housing is inserted into the outer housing through the upper opening; the edge of the outer housing is higher than the upper end surface of the inner housing to form a accommodating area, and the accommodating area is filled with sealant to form a sealed fit between the inner housing and the outer housing. The present invention adopts a double shell structure consisting of an inner shell and an outer shell, which plays a role of double sealing protection for various accessories (driving device, reduction transmission device, etc.) installed inside; at the same time, the inner shell and the outer shell are filled with sealant to completely block the gaps existing in the assembly process of parts and components, thereby playing a better sealing role."

[0004] It can be seen from the prior patents of the above-mentioned electric actuator that in addition to the housing that accommodates and supports the internal parts, an axis plate (skeleton plate) is also required inside to support and separate other components such as gears. In order for each gear used for reduction transmission to be installed on the axis plate, a gear shaft must be passed through it.

[0005] In the existing production process, in order to install the gear shaft on the shaft plate, semi-automatic or automated processing is generally used. In the semi-automatic installation method, the gear shaft needs to be manually inserted into the shaft plate, and then the shaft plate is placed in the riveting machine for riveting; while in the existing automated assembly form, automated equipment is relied on to complete the various steps of installing the gear shaft on the actuator shaft plate.

[0006] Among them, our company's prior patent with patent number ZL 201910444537.X disclosed: "An automatic assembly equipment for skeleton components in actuators, including a workbench and a control device for controlling the operation of the automatic assembly equipment. The workbench is provided with a six-station turntable, and the six-station turntable is provided with 6 fixtures, which are respectively the gear shaft station, the copper sleeve station, the first inspection station, the skeleton plate station, the pressing station, and the blanking station in the order of assembly; a gear shaft feeding and assembly mechanism is provided next to the gear shaft station, a copper sleeve feeding and assembly mechanism is provided next to the copper sleeve station, a first inspection mechanism is provided next to the first inspection station, a skeleton plate feeding and assembly mechanism is provided next to the skeleton plate feeding station, a pressing mechanism is provided next to the pressing station, and a shaping and blanking mechanism is provided next to the blanking station. The utility model realizes the fully automatic feeding and assembly functions of the skeleton components for the actuator. Only manual feeding is required, and the rest of the operations are completed by the equipment itself. It has a high degree of automation, and the production efficiency is much higher than manual assembly and automatic assembly machines on the market. The product consistency is high and the cost is greatly reduced."

[0007] However, including the scheme described in the above-mentioned patent, there is a problem in the equipment used for automatic assembly of gear shafts on actuator shaft plates in the prior art, that is, the existing automatic assembly equipment uses a turntable-like method as used in the above-mentioned patent to transport the shaft plate, and then arranges each processing mechanism around the turntable in a surrounding form, and relies on the turntable to drive the shaft plate to move between each processing mechanism to achieve automatic assembly; and this turntable to drive the shaft plate to transfer between each processing mechanism will result in very low assembly efficiency, and the dispersion of each processing mechanism around the turntable will also cause the size of the entire assembly equipment to be too large. Summary of the invention

[0008] In order to overcome the shortcomings of low assembly efficiency and excessively large overall size of the automated assembly equipment used for installing the gear shaft of an actuator shaft plate in the prior art, the present invention provides an assembly method for the automated assembly equipment for the gear shaft on an actuator shaft plate.

[0009] The technical solution of the present invention to solve the technical problem is: an assembly method applied to an automatic assembly device for a gear shaft on an actuator shaft plate, comprising the following steps:

[0010] S1, shaft plate feeding: the shaft plate falls from the equipment of the previous process onto the conveyor belt, and is transported from the head end to the end of the conveyor belt. The fourth vertical linear module drives the rotary claw to move down and clamp the shaft plate. The fourth vertical linear module drives the rotary claw to lift up, and the rotary claw rotates to reverse the head and tail of the shaft plate.

[0011] S2, shaft plate transfer: the first horizontal linear module drives the pneumatic finger to move to the shaft plate feeding mechanism. The pneumatic finger clamps the shaft plate while rotating the air claw to release the shaft plate. Then the first horizontal linear module drives the pneumatic finger to move backward for a distance. At this time, the flip cylinder is started to drive the pneumatic finger to flip. The pneumatic finger turns from facing the shaft plate feeding mechanism to facing the riveting mechanism. Then the first horizontal linear module continues to drive the starting finger to move backward until the shaft plate is inserted into the shaft plate channel of the lower moving plate and is in the feeding position. Then the first horizontal linear module drives the pneumatic finger to retreat forward. At this time, the flip cylinder is started again to drive the pneumatic finger to flip. The pneumatic finger is facing the shaft plate feeding mechanism again, and the push rod at the tail end of the pneumatic finger is facing the riveting mechanism. Then the first horizontal linear module drives the pneumatic finger to move backward again, and the push rod is able to push the shaft plate to move it along the shaft plate channel from the feeding position to the riveting position. Finally, the first linear module drives the pneumatic finger to retreat forward again, so that the push rod leaves the riveting mechanism.

[0012] S3, gear shaft feeding: the second longitudinal linear module drives the riveting lower die to move to the bottom of the feeding movable plate, and the push-pull cylinder pulls the shaft feeding block to move it to the shaft feeding position, and the shaft feeding hole is aligned with the shaft feeding hole. At this time, the gear shaft in the gear shaft silo can be transported to the shaft feeding hole along the conveying pipe, and fall into the shaft feeding hole through the shaft feeding hole, and then the push-pull cylinder pushes the shaft feeding block to move it to the upper shaft position, and the shaft feeding hole and the gear shaft therein are aligned with the upper shaft hole, and then the second vertical linear module drives the feeding movable plate to descend so that the lower side of the feeding movable plate forms abutment with the riveting lower die, and then the third vertical linear module drives the upper shaft ejector pin to press down so that it passes through the upper shaft hole and pushes the gear shaft in the shaft feeding hole onto the riveting lower die, and finally the second vertical linear module drives the feeding movable plate to rise, and the riveting lower die with the gear shaft inserted is driven by the second longitudinal linear module to move into the riveting mechanism and is located directly below the lower movable plate;

[0013] S4, riveting: the driving device pushes the upper movable plate downward, and the upper movable plate contacts the lower movable plate during the downward pressing process and drives the lower movable plate downward together, until the riveting lower die and the riveting lower die are both extended into the mold closing channel, at which time the riveting upper die abuts against the upper side of the shaft plate located in the middle of the mold closing channel, and the riveting lower die abuts against the lower side of the shaft plate, and the gear shaft inserted on the riveting lower die is transferred to the shaft plate, and as the driving device continues to press downward, the riveting upper die and the riveting lower die continue to apply pressure to the shaft plate and the gear shaft, so that the gear shaft is inserted into place on the shaft plate, and finally the driving device drives the upper movable plate to lift and reset, and the lower movable plate is lifted and reset under the action of the reset spring;

[0014] S5, finished product discharge: the first vertical linear module drives the second horizontal linear module to lift, so that the material moving claw connected to the second horizontal linear module is lifted, and the second horizontal linear module then drives the material moving claw to extend into the riveting mechanism and is located above the axis plate after riveting, the first vertical linear module drives the material moving claw to descend and make it buckle the axis plate, and then the second horizontal linear module drives the material moving claw to move back backward, so that the axis plate first moves from the riveting position to the discharge position, and then moves from the axis plate channel to the detection channel plate, and then the gear shaft detector irradiates the axis plate through the detection hole to detect whether each gear shaft on the axis plate is installed in place. If it is a good product with all the gear shafts installed in place, in the next round of steps, the second horizontal linear module drives the material moving claw to extend into the riveting mechanism to move the material and move back. The material moving plate behind the material moving claw moves back synchronously with the moving claw, thereby moving the good axis plate located on the detection channel plate to the discharge channel plate, and finally the good axis plate slides down along the discharge channel plate to realize discharge;

[0015] S6. Discharge of defective products: If it is detected during the shaft plate inspection that the gear shaft on the shaft plate is not installed in place, the shaft plate is judged to be defective. The defective shaft plate will be in the process of synchronously moving back with the moving claw on the toggle plate. In the process of the defective shaft plate being toggled by the toggle plate through the defective channel plate, the first longitudinal linear module will drive the defective channel plate to translate and stagger with the discharge channel plate, so that the defective shaft plate cannot be discharged through the discharge channel plate, but directly falls into the defective frame.
