The installation process is time-consuming and labor-intensive, with low work efficiency. The manufacturing process requires frequent participation of workers, which not only increases labor intensity, but also increases costs and the probability of errors, making product quality more difficult to control.

At the expanded position, multiple washer clamps are expanded along the radial direction of the first power source, thereby expanding the inner diameter of the elastic washers abutted by the multiple washer clamps; the pressure block assembly can push the elastic washers at the expanded position, thereby causing the elastic washers to detach from the multiple washer clamps.

[0005] In one embodiment, the first power source is configured as a first cylinder, the first cylinder has a plurality of translation sliders uniformly distributed in the circumferential and radial directions, and one of the washer clamps is connected to one of the translation sliders.

[0006] In one embodiment, the washer clamp includes a connecting block connected to the translation slider and a mounting section provided on the connecting block, and the mounting section is adapted to a partial contour of the elastic washer.

[0007] In one embodiment, the number of the translation sliders is three, and the number of the washer clamps corresponds to the number of the translation sliders.

[0008] In one embodiment, the mounting section is provided with a mounting groove facing the moving direction for the elastic washer to be mounted.

[0009] In one embodiment, the space defined by the plurality of gasket clamping blocks is smaller than or equal to the inner diameter of the elastic gasket.

[0010] In one embodiment, the ring expansion mechanism further includes a first mounting plate, a side of the first mounting plate is connected to the lifting mechanism, the first power source is installed on the lower plate surface of the first mounting plate, and the pressure block assembly passes through the first mounting plate.

[0011] In one embodiment, the second power source is configured as a second cylinder, the second cylinder has a drive shaft, the pressure block assembly is connected to the drive shaft, and the pressure block assembly is sleeved on the first power source. Under the drive of the second cylinder, the pressure block assembly can move up and down along the axial direction of the first power source, and push the elastic washer in the expanded position.

[0012] In one embodiment, the pressure block assembly includes a connecting member connected to the drive shaft, a guide rod group connected to the connecting member and arranged around the outer periphery of the first power source, and a pressure ring connected to the guide rod group, the pressure ring having an avoidance hole, and a plurality of the gasket clamps are arranged in the avoidance hole.

[0013] In one embodiment, the pressing ring mechanism includes a second mounting plate, the side of the second mounting plate is connected to the lifting mechanism, the second power source is installed on the upper plate surface of the second mounting plate, and the second mounting plate is arranged above the first power source.

[0014] In one embodiment, the lifting mechanism includes a third cylinder and a lifting plate transmission-connected to the third cylinder, and the ring expanding mechanism and the ring pressing mechanism are both installed on the lifting plate.

[0015] In one embodiment, the elastic gasket assembly machine further includes a loading mechanism, which includes a hopper device and a conveying device disposed below the hopper device, wherein the hopper device is used to accommodate the elastic gasket, and the conveying device is used to convey the elastic gasket in the hopper device.

[0016] In one embodiment, the elastic gasket assembly machine further includes an assembly platform, which includes a supporting platform and a movable slide rail. The supporting platform is slidably connected to the machine base via the movable slide rail, and the supporting platform is used to assemble the opposing parts.

[0017] The technical solution of the present invention achieves an expansion of the inner diameter of the elastic gasket during installation through the design of a ring expansion mechanism. A ring pressing mechanism allows the elastic gasket to disengage the ring expansion mechanism and be successfully installed on the corresponding component. Specifically, the ring expansion mechanism includes a first power source connected to a lifting mechanism and multiple washer clamps, which are transmission-connected to the first power source. The multiple washer clamps are evenly distributed along the circumference of the first power source. When the multiple washer clamps are in the expanded position, they act together on the inner side of the elastic gasket to be assembled, expanding the inner diameter of the elastic gasket. The expansion of the elastic gasket's inner diameter occurs because the movement of the multiple washer clamps causes their contact points with the inner side of the elastic gasket to change, generating an outward expansion force. As the elastic gasket's inner diameter expands, the ring pressing mechanism pushes downward against the edge of the elastic gasket from above. This force causes the elastic gasket to disengage from the abutment assembly and smoothly fall into the mounting groove of the corresponding component. Compared to manual methods, the use of a spring gasket assembly machine in this solution can significantly reduce the time and labor costs during the installation process. The machine can automatically complete operations such as clamping, lifting, expanding, pressing in, and resetting spring washers, eliminating the need for frequent human intervention, significantly shortening installation time and improving work efficiency. Furthermore, since the machine can automatically complete most of the work, workers only need to perform simple operations and monitoring, which greatly reduces labor intensity. Furthermore, mechanized production generally has higher precision and consistency, so using a spring washer assembly machine can ensure that each spring washer is correctly installed in the mounting slot of the corresponding part, thereby improving product quality. Furthermore, since manual operation is reduced, the possibility of error is also reduced. The machine can work according to preset programs and parameters, avoiding errors caused by human factors.

[0025] Elastic washers need to be installed on certain parts. Currently, these washers are usually installed manually. During the installation process, the elastic washers need to be pressed into the installation grooves of the corresponding parts to be assembled. The installation process is time-consuming and labor-intensive, with low work efficiency. The manufacturing process requires frequent participation of workers, which not only increases labor intensity, but also increases costs and the probability of errors, making product quality more difficult to control.

[0026] The following description will be made using a circular elastic washer with a notch as an example. However, the elastic washer assembly machine is not limited to this embodiment. According to the teachings of the present invention, the corresponding mechanism can be replaced for installation of elastic washers of other shapes or circular or rectangular elastic washers.

[0027] Reference Figures 1 to 5 The elastic gasket 700 assembly machine includes a base 100, a lifting mechanism 200, a ring expanding mechanism 300 and a ring pressing mechanism 400, and the lifting mechanism 200 is installed on the base 100; in this embodiment, the base 100 includes a frame table and a mounting bracket provided on the frame table; in other implementations, the base 100 can be a robotic arm, a horizontal or horizontal and vertical moving mechanism, etc.; thereby, it can drive the ring expanding mechanism 300 and the ring pressing mechanism 400 to move left and right or left and right and up and down.

[0028] The ring expansion mechanism 300 includes a first power source connected to the lifting mechanism 200, a plurality of washer clamps 320 transmission-connected to the first power source, and the plurality of washer clamps 320 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the first power source; the ring pressing mechanism 400 includes a second power source connected to the lifting mechanism 200 and arranged above the first power source, and a pressure block assembly 420 transmission-connected to the second power source; wherein, the plurality of washer clamps 320 have an expanded position, in which the plurality of washer clamps 320 are expanded along the radial direction of the first power source, thereby expanding the inner diameter of the elastic washer 700 abutted by the plurality of washer clamps 320; the pressure block assembly 420 can push the elastic washer 700 in the expanded position, thereby causing the elastic washer 700 to detach from the plurality of washer clamps 320.

[0029] It should be noted that the first power source may be driven by a motor, a pneumatic cylinder, or a hydraulic cylinder. These drive methods can be selected based on actual needs and machine design requirements. Multiple washer clamping blocks 320 can be connected to the first power source via a transmission mechanism such as a connecting rod, gears, or a slider, enabling radial movement along the first power source. The specific shape and number of the washer clamping blocks 320 can be designed based on the size and shape of the elastic washer 700 to ensure stable and accurate clamping.

[0030] The second power source may also be driven by a motor, a pneumatic cylinder, or a hydraulic cylinder. The pressing block assembly 420 can be connected to the second power source through a guide mechanism such as a guide column and a guide sleeve to ensure a stable movement trajectory during the pressing process. The specific shape and size of the pressing block assembly 420 can be designed based on the size of the mounting groove 323 of the part to be assembled and the size of the elastic washer 700 to ensure the accuracy and stability of the pressing. At the same time, the pressing block assembly 420 can also be provided with a buffer mechanism or a limit mechanism as needed to avoid excessive impact or damage to the parts.

[0031] The process of the elastic washer 700 assembly machine installing the elastic washer 700 on the counterpart part to be assembled is as follows: first, the elastic washer 700 is clamped by the ring expansion mechanism 300; second, the multiple washer clamps 320 are expanded outward, so that the inner diameter of the elastic washer 700 is expanded, so that the gap is relatively expanded; thirdly, the expanded elastic washer 700 is separated from the ring pressing mechanism 400 by the ring pressing mechanism 400 and enters the counterpart part to be assembled (such as a bearing, etc.).

[0032] The ring expansion mechanism 300 includes a first power source connected to the lifting mechanism 200 and a plurality of washer clamps 320 in a transmission connection with the first power source. Initially, the plurality of washer clamps 320 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the first power source and maintain a certain tension or positional relationship. When the elastic washer 700 needs to be clamped, the first power source is activated, driving the plurality of washer clamps 320 radially inward, abutting the inner edge of the elastic washer 700. Because the elastic washer 700 has a certain degree of elasticity, the clamping force of the washer clamps 320 can be adjusted to accommodate elastic washers 700 of different sizes and materials. After clamping the elastic washer 700, the machine uses the lifting mechanism 200 to lift the ring expansion mechanism 300 and the clamped elastic washer 700 to an appropriate height, aligning them with the mounting slot 323 of the part to be assembled. The ring expansion mechanism 300's first power source is then activated again, this time driving the plurality of washer clamps 320 radially outward to expand. Due to the movement of the washer clamps 320, the inner diameter of the elastic washer 700 they abut against also expands. At this time, the pressing ring mechanism 400 starts to work. The pressing ring mechanism 400 includes a second power source connected to the lifting mechanism 200 and arranged above the first power source, and a pressing block assembly 420 that is transmission-connected to the second power source. The second power source is started, driving the pressing block assembly 420 to move downward, pushing the elastic washer 700, causing it to disengage from the multiple washer clamps 320 and be pressed into the mounting groove 323 of the part to be assembled. After the installation is completed, the lifting mechanism 200 lowers the ring expansion mechanism 300 and the pressing ring mechanism 400 to the initial position, ready for the next operation. (It can be understood that the process of expanding the inner diameter of the elastic washer 700 can also be completed synchronously when the multiple washer clamps 320 clamp the elastic washer 700) The technical solution of the present invention achieves an expansion of the inner diameter of the elastic washer 700 during installation through the design of the ring expansion mechanism 300. The ring pressing mechanism 400 allows the elastic washer 700 to be disengaged from the ring expansion mechanism 300 and successfully installed on the corresponding part. Specifically, the ring expansion mechanism 300 includes a first power source connected to the lifting mechanism 200 and a plurality of washer clamps 320 transmission-connected to the first power source. The plurality of washer clamps 320 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the first power source. When the plurality of washer clamps 320 are in the expanded position, the plurality of washer clamps 320 act together on the inner side of the elastic washer 700 to be assembled, expanding the inner diameter of the elastic washer 700. The principle of the expansion of the inner diameter of the elastic washer 700 is that the movement of the plurality of washer clamps 320 causes their contact points with the inner side of the elastic washer 700 to change, thereby generating an outward expansion force. As the inner diameter of the elastic washer 700 is expanded, the ring pressing mechanism 400 pushes the edge of the elastic washer 700 from top to bottom. This force will cause the elastic washer 700 to detach from the abutment assembly and smoothly fall into the installation groove 323 of the corresponding part. Compared with the effect of manual methods, the use of an elastic washer 700 assembly machine in this solution can significantly reduce the time and labor costs during the installation process. The machine can automatically complete operations such as clamping, lifting, expanding the ring, pressing in and resetting the elastic washer 700, without the need for frequent human intervention, greatly shortening the installation time and improving work efficiency; secondly, since the machine can automatically complete most of the work, workers only need to perform simple operations and monitoring, thus greatly reducing labor intensity; secondly, mechanized production usually has higher precision and consistency, so the use of an elastic washer 700 assembly machine can ensure that each elastic washer 700 is correctly installed in the installation groove 323 of the corresponding part, thereby improving product quality; secondly, since manual operation is reduced, the possibility of error is also reduced. The machine can work according to preset programs and parameters, avoiding errors caused by human factors.

[0033] The following first introduces the ring expanding mechanism 300, then the ring pressing mechanism 400, and finally the lifting mechanism 200 and other mechanisms that cooperate to achieve automation.

[0034] Reference Figures 2 to 5Specifically, the ring expansion mechanism 300 uses a cylinder as a power source; the first power source is configured as a first cylinder 310, which has multiple translation sliders 311 evenly distributed in the circumferential and radial directions, and a washer clamp 320 is connected to the translation slider 311. On the one hand, the cylinder can provide precise position control and pressure output, thereby ensuring that the ring expansion mechanism 300 has a high degree of accuracy when clamping and expanding the elastic washer 700; on the other hand, the cylinder can maintain stable output during operation and is not easily affected by external environmental interference. This enables the ring expansion mechanism 300 to maintain stable performance under various working conditions, ensuring the smooth progress of the assembly process. In addition, the cylinder can adapt to different working environments and conditions, such as high temperature, low temperature, and humidity. In addition, the cylinder is small in size and light in weight, making it easy to integrate with other mechanical components.

[0035] The number of translation sliders 311 of the first cylinder 310 can be two, three, four or even more, and the specific selection depends on production requirements. In this embodiment, the number of translation sliders 311 is three, and the translation sliders 311 and the first cylinder 310 are set as a set; according to the installation requirements of different elastic washers 700, different shapes of gasket clamps 320 can be set accordingly.

[0036] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 In this embodiment, the washer clamp 320 includes a connecting block 321 connected to the translation slider 311 and a mounting section 322 provided on the connecting block 321. The mounting section 322 partially conforms to the contour of the elastic washer 700. The design of the washer clamp 320, including the connecting block 321 connected to the translation slider 311 and the mounting section 322 provided on the connecting block 321, allows the washer clamp 320 to flexibly accommodate elastic washers 700 of varying shapes and sizes. By replacing the mounting section 322 with different shapes, the ring expansion mechanism 300 can easily adapt to the installation requirements of various elastic washers 700, thereby improving the versatility and flexibility of the machine. Because the mounting section 322 partially conforms to the contour of the elastic washer 700, this facilitates more precise control during the ring expansion process. The tight fit between the mounting section 322 and the washer reduces errors during ring expansion, ensuring that the washer is correctly expanded and installed in the intended position.

[0037] To ensure stable installation of the elastic washer 700, the mounting section 322 is provided with a mounting groove 323 oriented in the direction of movement for the elastic washer 700. The mounting groove 323, oriented in the direction of movement, provides a stable mounting position for the elastic washer 700. This design helps prevent the washer from slipping or misalignment during the expansion process, thereby improving installation accuracy and stability. The design of the mounting groove 323 also provides a certain degree of protection from damage. During the expansion process, the mounting groove 323 guides the deformation direction of the washer, reducing unnecessary stress concentration and damage.

[0038] Reference Figure 3 In order to facilitate the installation of the first cylinder 310, the ring expansion mechanism 300 also includes a first mounting plate 330. The side of the first mounting plate 330 is connected to the lifting mechanism 200. The first power source is installed on the lower plate surface of the first mounting plate 330, and the pressure block assembly 420 passes through the first mounting plate 330. By installing the first power source at the lower part of the machine through the first mounting plate 330, the structure of the entire ring expansion mechanism 300 can be made more compact. This compact structure helps to reduce the footprint of the machine and improve space utilization. The design of the pressure block assembly 420 passing through the first mounting plate 330 enables the ring expansion mechanism 300 to work more efficiently. During the ring expansion process, the pressure block assembly 420 can quickly press and expand the gasket, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0039] The above briefly introduces the ring expansion mechanism 300 , and the following briefly introduces the ring pressing mechanism 400 .

[0040] Reference Figures 1 to 3 Specifically, the second power source is configured as a second cylinder 410, the second cylinder 410 has a drive shaft 411, the pressure block assembly 420 is connected to the drive shaft 411, and the pressure block assembly 420 is sleeved with the first power source. Under the drive of the second cylinder 410, the pressure block assembly 420 can move up and down along the axial direction of the first power source, and push the elastic washer 700 in the expanded position.

[0041] Cylinders are compact and lightweight, making them easy to integrate with other mechanical components. As common industrial components, cylinders are relatively inexpensive. Using a cylinder as a power source can reduce the manufacturing cost of the ring expansion mechanism 300, improving the product's competitiveness. Furthermore, cylinders reduce energy consumption and exhaust emissions during operation, meeting current environmental requirements for energy conservation and emission reduction.

[0042] Reference Figure 3The pressure block assembly 420 includes a connector 421 connected to the drive shaft 411, a guide rod group 422 connected to the connector 421 and arranged around the periphery of the first power source, and a pressure ring 423 connected to the guide rod group 422. The pressure ring 423 has an avoidance hole 424, and a plurality of gasket clamps 320 are arranged in the avoidance hole 424. Through the cooperation of the drive shaft 411 and the connector 421, the movement trajectory and speed of the pressure ring 423 can be accurately controlled to ensure that the gasket clamp 320 can accurately clamp and press the elastic gasket 700 into the specified position. The design of the guide rod group 422 enhances the stability of the pressure block assembly 420, making it less likely to deviate or shake during movement, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of assembly.

[0043] The pressing ring mechanism 400 includes a second mounting plate 430, the side of which is connected to the lifting mechanism 200. A second power source is mounted on the upper surface of the second mounting plate 430, which is positioned above the first power source. This second power source provides sufficient driving force for the pressing ring mechanism 400, ensuring that the gasket is correctly pressed into place. Furthermore, the mounting position of the second power source ensures that the pressing ring mechanism 400 maintains balance and stability during operation.

[0044] The design of the second mounting plate 430 allows the ring pressing mechanism 400 and the first power source (which may be the ring expanding mechanism 300 or other components) to be rationally arranged in space, avoiding mutual interference and collision, and improving the overall performance and reliability of the machine.

[0045] Reference Figures 1 to 3 , regarding the relationship between the ring pressing mechanism 400 and the ring expanding mechanism 300.

[0046] During the assembly of the elastic gasket 700, the pressing mechanism 400 and the expanding mechanism 300 typically work in conjunction with each other. The expanding mechanism 300 is responsible for expanding the elastic gasket 700 to a certain size, while the pressing mechanism 400 is responsible for press-fitting the expanded elastic gasket 700 into the designated position. Through rational layout and coordinated operation, the pressing mechanism 400 and the expanding mechanism 300 can optimize the assembly process, reduce assembly time and costs, and improve production efficiency.

[0047] The pressing ring mechanism 400 is introduced above, and the lifting mechanism 200 is introduced below.

[0048] Specifically, the lifting mechanism 200 includes a third cylinder 210 and a lifting plate 220 in transmission connection with the third cylinder 210. The ring expansion mechanism 300 and the ring pressing mechanism 400 are both mounted on the lifting plate 220. When the third cylinder 210 receives a signal and activates, its piston rod telescopes, thereby driving the lifting plate 220 up and down. The ring expansion mechanism 300 and the ring pressing mechanism 400 on the lifting plate 220 also move up and down accordingly, enabling the assembly of the elastic washer 700. The lifting mechanism 200 in this embodiment has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture and maintain.

[0049] In addition to the lifting mechanism 200 in the above embodiment, there are many other possible embodiments, such as a lifting motor drive and a gear rack assembly drive: the lifting motor drives the gear rack assembly to move the lifting plate 220 up and down.

[0050] Alternatively, a worm gear screw elevator: The worm gear screw elevator realizes the up and down movement of the lifting plate 220 through the cooperation of a worm gear transmission and a screw nut pair.

[0051] In the above scheme, the first mounting plate 330 and the second mounting plate 430 are both installed on the lifting plate 220; the guide rod group 422 passes through the first mounting plate 330, and the guide rod group 422 is provided with three rings of the first cylinder 310. The end of the driving shaft 411 of the second cylinder 410 is provided with a slot, and one side of the end of the connecting member 421 is provided with an embedding groove. The driving shaft 411 is connected to the embedding groove through the slot, thereby driving the pressure ring 423 to move.

[0052] Reference Figure 1 In other solutions, in order to facilitate automation, the elastic gasket 700 assembly machine further includes a loading mechanism 500 and an assembly platform 600.

[0053] In one embodiment, the loading mechanism 500 includes a hopper device and a conveying device arranged below the hopper device. The conveying device is used to convey the elastic washers 700 in the hopper device one by one to the bottom of the ring expanding mechanism 300; driven by the lifting mechanism 200, the ring expanding mechanism 300 can fall and clamp the elastic washers 700 of the conveying device.

[0054] The hopper device is placed vertically with an opening at the bottom, and a plurality of elastic washers 700 to be assembled are placed inside; the opening at the bottom is for the elastic washers 700 to be assembled to be detached, and when the elastic washers 700 to be assembled are detached, the conveying device is located below the opening, and the conveying device conveys the elastic washers 700 to be assembled to the bottom of the ring expansion mechanism 300, and the lifting mechanism 200 mentioned above causes the ring expansion mechanism 300 to fall, and a plurality of washer clamps 320 are located in the elastic washers 700 to be assembled, and the plurality of washer clamps 320 are radially translated and expanded under the drive of the first power source, and the elastic washers to be assembled are assembled. 700 inner diameter is expanded; the assembly platform 600 includes a bearing platform and a movable slide rail, the bearing platform is slidably connected to the machine base 100 through the movable slide rail, and the assembled opponent parts are installed on the bearing platform; after multiple gasket clamps 320 expand the inner diameter of the elastic gasket 700, the conveying device returns to the bottom of the hopper device; the bearing platform moves to the bottom of the ring expansion mechanism 300, the lifting mechanism 200 adjusts the position of the ring expansion mechanism 300, and the ring pressing mechanism 400 installs the elastic gasket 700 to be installed on the opponent part; repeat the above steps to complete the complete production process of automated material picking, installation, and unloading.
