Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of bearing processing, and in particular relates to a deep groove ball bearing assembly ball-setting device. Background Art
[0002] In the process of deep groove ball bearing assembly, the existing technology mainly relies on manual assembly. Workers use tools such as suction cups, clamps, and material tweezers to put steel balls one by one between the inner and outer rings of the bearing. This method has two disadvantages. The first is that when the steel balls are installed to the last few balls, due to the contact between the steel balls and the inner and outer rings, the steel balls need to be pressed to make them reach the bottom of the groove. At this time, the steel balls are subjected to force, which can easily cause scratches on the steel balls. After the bearings are assembled, the vibration value increases during use, and the rotation flexibility and speed decrease, affecting the quality and accuracy of the bearings. The second point is that when the bearings are assembled manually, it is necessary to constantly pick and move the balls manually. The installation of the last 3-5 steel balls takes up 60% of the entire assembly process, and the gap needs to be repeatedly adjusted to 1.5D (steel ball diameter), which significantly increases the fatigue of the workers. Each time, the balls need to be picked to control the free distance of the bearing to one and a half steel ball distances, and they need to be pressed and positioned accurately, resulting in time-consuming and labor-intensive installation of the last few steel balls, a waste of manpower, and an impact on labor efficiency. Third point: Manual pressing causes local stress concentration on the contact surface between the steel ball and the groove, which deteriorates the surface roughness (Ra value increases by 0.2-0.4μm), thereby increasing the probability of the bearing vibration value (Z4 group) exceeding the standard by more than 30%.
[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a sleeve assembly device that is efficient, accurate and can avoid damage to the steel balls. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0037] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0039] See also Figure 1-6 , the present invention provides a technical solution:
[0040] like Figure 1-Figure 3As shown, the deep groove ball bearing assembly device provided by the present invention includes a base plate 1 and an outer ring deformation boosting mechanism, and the outer ring deformation boosting mechanism includes a cylinder drive mechanism, a lever mechanism 2, a slide rail mechanism 3 and a limit mechanism 4 arranged on the base plate 1. The area on the base plate 1 between the slide rail mechanism 3 and the limit mechanism 4 is the deep groove ball bearing placement area 6, and the deep groove ball bearing 14 is fixed and limited in this area and receives force to complete the assembly of the steel ball. The moving centers of the slide rail mechanism 3 and the limit mechanism 4, as well as the central axis of the deep groove ball bearing placement area 6 are located on the same axis, ensuring that the force direction is consistent with the deformation force direction of the outer ring of the deep groove ball bearing 14, avoiding eccentric load or local stress concentration, and improving assembly accuracy. The working end of the lever mechanism 2 is connected to the front end of the sliding body 302 of the slide rail mechanism 3. The cylinder drive mechanism provides a first radial thrust to the slide rail mechanism 3 through the lever mechanism 2. Under the action of the first radial thrust of the lever mechanism 2, the slide rail mechanism 3 and the limit mechanism 4 pressurize the outer ring of the deep groove ball bearing on the deep groove ball bearing placement area 6 to cause it to deform elastically. At the same time, the limit mechanism 4 constrains the radial deformation range of the outer ring of the deep groove ball bearing to prevent plastic deformation. It is necessary to ensure that the strain ε<the material yield limit ε y .
[0041] The lever mechanism 2 includes a fixed support seat and a lever arm 201. The fixed support seat is fixed on the base plate 1. One end of the lever arm 201 is hinged to the fixed support seat through a positioning pin 203, and the lever arm 201 can rotate around the fulcrum provided by the positioning pin 203; the force-applying end and the working end of the lever arm 201 are respectively arranged on both sides of the lever arm 201, and the distance from the force-applying end of the lever arm 201 to the fulcrum is greater than the distance from the working end of the lever arm 201 to the fulcrum; the working end and the force-applying end of the lever arm 201 are respectively fixed with a first push column 204 and a second push column 205, the piston rod of the cylinder 5 of the cylinder drive mechanism is connected to the second push column 205 of the lever arm 201, and the front end of the sliding body 302 of the slide rail mechanism 3 is connected to the first push column 204.
[0042] The positioning pin 203 is used as the fulcrum of the lever mechanism 2 and is installed on the bottom plate 1 by bolts; the end of the piston rod of the cylinder 5 of the cylinder drive mechanism is connected to the cylinder top block 7, and the piston rod of the cylinder 5 is connected to the second push column 205 through the cylinder top block 7. In the lever mechanism 2, the ratio of the applied force to the output force corresponding to the force application end and the working end on the lever arm 201 is 1:3-5.
[0043] The cylinder 5 is used as a power source, specifically pneumatic pressure control: the cylinder 5 adopts a pneumatically driven actuator cylinder, which is provided with a low-pressure pneumatic actuator, and its working pressure is less than or equal to 0.5MPa.
[0044] When the output end of the piston rod of the cylinder 5 extends out, the piston rod will drive the cylinder top block 7 to push the second push column 205. Since the second push column 205 is fixedly connected to the force-applying end of the lever arm 201, the thrust of the cylinder 5 will be transmitted to the first push rod 204 at the working end of the lever arm 201 through the second push column 205, pushing the slide rail mechanism 3 on its right side. Under the action of the first radial thrust of the lever mechanism 2, the slide rail mechanism 3 and the limit mechanism 4 pressurize the outer ring of the deep groove ball bearing on the deep groove ball bearing placement area 6 to cause it to elastically deform.
[0045] The deep groove ball bearing assembly device of the present invention utilizes the controllable elastic deformation of the outer ring of the deep groove ball bearing 14, and precisely squeezes the outer ring of the deep groove ball bearing 14 along the axis through the lever mechanism 2, and the limit mechanism 4 limits and fixes the deep groove ball bearing 14, ensuring that the deformation of the outer ring of the deep groove ball bearing 14 is within a reasonable range, so that the outer ring of the bearing undergoes elastic deformation to temporarily expand the groove, so that the steel ball can fall freely, avoiding the problem of steel ball scratches caused by the traditional forced pressing method. At the same time, the design of amplifying the thrust of the cylinder 5 by the lever ratio is adopted to achieve precise force application under low energy consumption, ensure that the outer ring of the bearing is within the elastic deformation range, avoid plastic deformation, ensure that the vibration value, rotation flexibility and other performance of the bearing are not affected, and effectively improve the assembly efficiency of the deep groove ball bearing.
[0046] like Figure 2 As shown, an L-shaped fixing plate 8 is vertically connected to the outer wall of the top corner of the bottom plate 1 located on the force-applying end side of the lever arm 201 by bolts, which is used to support and fix the cylinder 5. The bottom of the first side plate of the L-shaped fixing plate 8 is fixed to a side wall of the bottom plate 1 by bolts, and the cylinder 5 is installed on the first side plate of the L-shaped fixing plate 8 by bolts. A second through hole matching the piston rod of the cylinder 5 is provided on the first side plate higher than the bottom plate 1, and the piston rod of the cylinder 5 is connected to the cylinder top block 7 after passing through the second through hole. It ensures that the cylinder 5 will not shake or deflect during operation, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the device. The design of the L-shaped fixing plate 8 can also reduce the reaction impact caused by the cylinder 5. It is fixedly connected to the bottom plate 1 by bolts, and the reaction impact force it bears is dispersed to various parts of the L-shaped fixing plate 8, thereby enhancing the impact resistance of the bottom plate 1 in the force-bearing area. The bottoms of the first side plate and the second side plate of the L-shaped fixing plate 8 are both lower than the bottom of the bottom plate 1, and the bottom edge of the bottom plate 1 is fixedly connected with a plurality of bottom plate support legs 11 at the same height as the L-shaped fixing plate 8 below the bottom of the bottom plate 1, which are used to support the balance of the assembled ball set device and ensure the stability of the device.
[0047] The slide rail mechanism 3 is an integral linear guide rail, which includes a slide rail base 301 and a sliding body 302. The upper surface of the slide rail base 301 is recessed inwardly and is provided with a linear guide rail groove that matches the sliding body 302. The sliding body 302 is embedded in the groove of the slide rail base 301 and can move with the slide rail base 301. A square mounting groove 12 is opened on the bottom plate 1 below the slide rail mechanism 3. A mounting plate 13 that spans the mounting groove 12 is installed on the lower surface of the bottom plate 1 below the mounting groove 12. The upper and lower ends of the mounting plate 13 are respectively installed on the bottom of the bottom plate 1 by bolts. ; The length of the mounting plate 13 is greater than the width of the mounting slot 12. A horizontal first linear slide groove is provided on the upper surface of the mounting plate 13. A first direct slide rail matching the linear slide groove is also provided at the bottom of the slide rail base 301. The bottom of the slide rail base 301 is installed in the mounting slot 12. The length of the slide rail base 301 is less than the length of the mounting slot 12. The slide rail base 301 is tightly connected to the bottom plate 1 by a reset spring on the side close to the first push column 204. The bottom height of the sliding body 302 is greater than the bottom plate 1. The length of the sliding body 302 is greater than the length of the mounting slot 12. Both ends of the sliding body 302 extend out of the front and rear sides of the mounting slot 12. The width of the slide rail base 301 matches the width of the mounting slot 12. Both sides of the slide rail base 301 are slidably connected in the second linear slide grooves on the inner walls of both sides of the mounting slot 12 through the second slide rail. The slide rail base 301 is installed on the mounting plate 13 by bolts. With this structural design, one end of the sliding body 302 abuts against the first push rod 204 at the power input end of the lever arm 201, and the other end abuts against the outer ring of the deep groove ball bearing 14, so that the first radial thrust transmitted by the power input end of the lever arm 201 can be accurately and smoothly applied to the outer ring of the deep groove ball bearing 14.
[0048] The limiting mechanism 4 includes a limiting box 401 with a vertical limiting side wall on the front side, a side baffle 402 and an adjusting rod 404. The middle of the limiting box 401 is provided with two rows of relatively parallel transverse slots 403. The limiting box 401 can be installed on the base 1 along the central axis of the slide rail mechanism 3. The bottom plate 1 located below the limiting mechanism 4 is provided with a threaded hole 10 that matches the structure of the transverse slot 403. The hexagon socket head cap screw 9 and the bottom locking nut are passed through the transverse slot 403 and the corresponding threaded hole 10 in sequence. The outer diameter of the hexagon socket head cap screw 9 is greater than the width of the transverse slot 403, so as to achieve the fastening and position adjustment between the limiting box 401 and the bottom plate 1. The limiting mechanism 4 is fixed to the bottom plate 1 by bolts, which further enhances the stability of the device; and the multiple threaded holes 10 on the base 1 cooperate with the transverse slot 403, so that the position of the limiting mechanism 4 can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual needs to adjust the size, thereby adapting to the assembly requirements of bearings of different specifications.
[0049] A side baffle 402 is vertically connected to the right side wall of the bottom plate 1 through bolts, and a plurality of adjustment rods 404 are connected between the side baffle 402 and the rear side wall of the limit box 401. One end of the adjustment rod 404 is fixedly connected to the rear side wall of the limit box 401, and the other end thereof penetrates the side baffle 402, and the end thereof is fastened and connected through a nut. By adjusting the tightness of the nut, the position of the limit mechanism 4 can be fine-tuned, thereby controlling the range of motion of the sliding body 302, ensuring that bearings of different specifications can be assembled within the range of deformation control; at the same time, the design of the side baffle 402 and the adjustment rod 404 enhances the stability of the limit mechanism 4, ensuring that high precision and high efficiency can be maintained in long-term use.
[0050] The limit box 401 is made of tungsten-cobalt hard alloy YG8, and a preload spring and a plurality of parallel ribs are installed inside it. The preload spring is embedded in the spacer cavity between two adjacent parallel ribs. The limit box 401 of the limit mechanism 4 adopts a hard alloy limit block and a preload spring to compensate for the tolerance; limit the radial deformation range of the outer ring of the bearing, avoid plastic deformation, prevent local stress concentration, ensure uniform deformation and no plastic deformation. Tungsten-cobalt hard alloy has extremely high hardness and wear resistance, and can withstand the pressure and friction generated by the outer ring of the bearing during the force application process, and avoid the failure of the limit mechanism 4 due to wear or deformation; there are a plurality of parallel ribs inside it, and the design of the ribs enhances the rigidity of the limit mechanism 4, which can effectively limit the radial deformation range of the outer ring of the bearing, and ensure that the deformation is controlled within the elastic deformation range; the plurality of parallel ribs arranged inside can evenly distribute the force to the entire contact surface of the limit mechanism 4, avoid local stress concentration, ensure uniform deformation of the outer ring of the bearing, and avoid plastic deformation. The spacing between the ribs is less than or equal to 150 mm, and the inner diameter range of the adapted deep groove ball bearing 14 is 20-120 mm.
[0051] The deep groove ball bearing assembly ball-setting device of the present invention is specifically used during:
[0052] like Figure 4-Figure 6 As shown, the deep groove ball bearing 14 is placed in the deep groove ball bearing placement area 6, and the position of the limit mechanism 4 is accurately adjusted according to the actual bearing size and the required size of the steel ball to be filled. After the adjustment is completed, the deep groove ball bearing 12 is limited and fixed. The cylinder 5 is used as a power source, and the output thrust is transmitted to the force-applying end (working end) of the lever arm 201 through the cylinder top block 7. The lever arm 201 accurately amplifies the thrust of the cylinder 5 through the lever ratio of 3-5:1, and realizes the precise force control of the outer ring of the deep groove ball bearing 14, saving time and labor, and significantly improving the processing efficiency.
[0053] When the lever arm 201 rotates around the positioning pin 203 under the drive of the cylinder 5, the force input end of the lever arm 201 pushes the first push rod 204, and accurately transmits the amplified force to the sliding body 302 of the slide rail mechanism 3. When the first push rod 204 pushes the sliding body 302, the sliding body 302 slides along the side wall track of the slide rail base 301. The sliding of the sliding body 302 applies the force transmitted by the lever arm 201 to the outer ring of the deep groove ball bearing 14, causing it to undergo controllable elastic deformation. The controllable elastic deformation range of the outer ring of the deep groove ball bearing 14 is about 0.1-0.3mm, temporarily expanding the steel ball groove. The lever mechanism 2 amplifies the thrust of the cylinder 5 by accurately controlling the lever ratio of the thrust amplification, converting the smaller cylinder thrust into a larger force, and realizing the precise force on the outer ring of the deep groove ball bearing 14. The slide rail mechanism 3 applies the force transmitted by the lever arm 201 to the outer ring of the deep groove ball bearing 14 smoothly and evenly. The ratio of the output force of the lever mechanism 2 to the applied force is 3-5:1. By accurately controlling the deformation amount, it is effectively avoided that the steel balls are scratched or the outer ring of the bearing is plastically deformed due to forced pressing, which damages the bearing. After the bearing undergoes precise elastic deformation, the steel ball track of the outer ring of the deep groove ball bearing 14 becomes larger. After the steel ball groove is expanded, the last few steel balls can be easily placed directly into the steel ball track manually, avoiding the problem of steel ball scratches caused by forced pressing in traditional assembly.
[0054] At the same time, after the cylinder piston rod drives the cylinder top block 7 to shrink and reset, the second push column 205 loses its driving force, and the first push rod 204 also loses its driving force. After the lever arm 201 is reset, the slide rail base 301 is pulled back to its original position by the reset spring, and the sliding body 302 of the slide rail mechanism 3 also returns to its original position with the slide rail base 301. The outer ring of the deep groove ball bearing 14 loses its squeezing force. Since the outer ring of the bearing only undergoes elastic deformation, it can return to its original shape, ensuring that the vibration value, rotation flexibility and other performance of the bearing are not affected. The radial deformation of the outer ring of the deep groove ball bearing can be accurately controlled to a repeatability accuracy between -0.02mm and +0.02mm, significantly improving the accuracy and precision of its control force, meeting actual use requirements.
[0055] As shown in Table 1, the present invention compares the manual assembly operation with the deep groove ball bearing assembly ball-fitting device, and the specific comparison results are as follows: Table 1 is a quantitative comparison table of the manual assembly operation and the deep groove ball bearing assembly ball-fitting device.

[0057] It can be seen from Table 1 that the deep groove ball bearing assembly balling device of the present invention can greatly improve the work efficiency and ball loading quality of the assembly balling operation compared with manual operation, and greatly reduce the labor and maintenance costs. Therefore, the quality and efficiency of the assembly balling process of the deep groove ball bearing assembly balling device of the present invention are better than those of manual operation.
[0058] In summary, the invention temporarily expands the steel ball groove through controllable elastic deformation of the outer ring, combines lever mechanical amplification and pneumatic control, realizes precise force application under low energy consumption, and fundamentally solves the problems of steel ball scratches and assembly efficiency bottlenecks. The deep groove ball bearing assembly device of the invention has passed the actual test and verification of the prototype, with an average daily production capacity of 1,550 sets, CPK ≥ 1.6, and has both technological advancement, economy and engineering practicality, providing a standardized and intelligent process upgrade solution for the bearing manufacturing industry.
