Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of magnetic shock absorber guide assembly, and particularly to an automatic assembly device for sliding bearings inside a magnetic shock absorber guide. Background Art

[0002] The guide is an important component in the shock absorber, and its main function is to guide the up-and-down movement of the piston rod of the shock absorber. In the existing technical solutions, manual assembly depends on the skills and experience of the operator, which not only makes the product quality vulnerable to human factors, but also results in low work efficiency. Due to the non-repeatability of manual operations, the product quality often fluctuates, making it difficult to maintain consistency, and it is prone to operation errors, leading to a high rejection rate.

[0003] Even for semi-automatic equipment, manual intervention is often required in processes such as part feeding, pre-pressing, pressing, and detection. This not only slows down the production speed, but also increases the labor intensity and production cost. In addition, semi-automatic equipment is often less accurate than fully automatic equipment in terms of detection and quality control, and cannot monitor the product quality in real time, thus affecting the output efficiency and product reliability of the entire production line.

The guide and the oil seal are both installed inside the outer cylinder. The oil seal includes a metal skeleton and a rubber body vulcanized together. The lower end of the rubber body is provided with an annular seal body. The upper end of the guide is provided with an annular boss. The auxiliary installation ring is made of rubber material and is sleeved outside the annular boss. The annular seal body is sleeved outside the auxiliary installation ring, and the annular seal body is in interference fit with the inner wall of the outer cylinder.

[0005] However, in this technical solution, it is impossible to complete the assembly work of the upper guide and the bearing and the assembly work of the lower guide and the bearing on one device at the same time. Summary of the Invention

[0023] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "center", "longitudinal", "transverse", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and thus should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features. In the description of the present invention, "a plurality" means two or more unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0024] Embodiment 1 As Figure 1-2 shown, this embodiment provides an automatic assembly device for the sliding bearing inside a magnetic shock absorber guide, including: A guide upper mounting mechanism 1, and the guide upper mounting mechanism 1 includes a left and right symmetrically arranged upper guide loading component 11 and a lower guide loading component 12; Bearing loading mechanism 2, the bearing loading mechanism 2 is arranged between the upper guide feeder assembly 11 and the lower guide feeder assembly 12; Transfer mechanism 3, the transfer mechanism 3 is arranged at the output end of the bearing loading mechanism 2; and Assembly mechanism 4, the assembly mechanism 4 is located at the output end of the transfer mechanism 3, and includes a rotating assembly 41, a stamping assembly 42, an output assembly 43 and a rejection assembly 44 arranged in sequence along the transmission direction of the rotating assembly 41.

[0025] Furthermore, as Figures 3-6 , both the upper guide feeder assembly 11 and the lower guide feeder assembly 12 include: Switching component 111, the switching component 111 includes a first turntable 1113 that rotates on a first mounting table 1111 and intermittently rotates circumferentially under the drive of a first drive unit 1112, and a plurality of groups of mounting grooves 1114 are arranged in sequence along the circumferential direction of the first turntable 1113; Storage component 112, the storage component 112 is fitted and clamped in the mounting groove 1114; Feeding component 113, the feeding component 113 includes a second drive unit 1131 installed on the first mounting table 1111 and automatically opening the storage component 112, and a pushing member 114 arranged below the storage component 112 and transferring the output guide to the working position.

[0026] It should be noted that the upper guide feeder assembly 11 and the lower guide feeder assembly 12 work synchronously, with high synchronism and easy control.

[0027] Furthermore, as Figures 4-5 , the storage component 112 includes: Loading box 1121, the loading box 1121 is vertically penetrated with a blanking hole 1120 and a pushing port 1122 is opened at its side end; Pushing plate 1123, the pushing plate 1123 is horizontally slidably arranged in the loading box 1121 through a first elastic unit, and a blocking hole 1124 and a discharging hole 1125 that are smoothly and transitionally connected are penetrated through the pushing plate 1123; Stock storage cylinder 1126, the stock storage cylinder 1126 is vertically installed on the loading box 1121; When the stock storage cylinder 1126, the discharging hole 1125 and the blanking hole 1120 are aligned, the guide is automatically output downward; The inner diameter of the blocking hole 1124 is smaller than the inner diameter of the discharging hole 1125, and the inner diameter of the discharging hole 1125 is smaller than the inner diameter of the blanking hole 1120.

[0028] In this application, by moving the pushing plate 1123 back and forth, the automatic switching of the material blocking hole 1124 and the material discharging hole 1125 is realized, so as to complete the limited storage or release of the guide in the storage cylinder 1126 under two working conditions.

[0029] It should be noted that when the blanking hole 1120, the material blocking hole 1124 and the storage cylinder 1126 are coaxial, since the inner diameter of the material blocking hole 1124 is smaller than the inner diameter of the material discharging hole 1125 and smaller than the guide, the interception of the lower guide is realized; On the contrary, when the blanking hole 1120, the material discharging hole 1125 and the storage cylinder 1126 are coaxial, since the inner diameters of the blanking hole 1120 and the material discharging hole 1125 are both larger than the diameters of the upper guide or the lower guide, the automatic downward output of the upper guide or the lower guide is realized.

[0030] Moreover, by setting the material pushing port 1122, the second driving unit 1131 acts on the pushing plate 1123 through the material pushing port 1122. After all the upper guides or lower guides in the storage cylinder 1126 are output, the second driving unit 1131 withdraws, and the pushing plate 1123 automatically resets to complete the loading work of the next group of upper guides or lower guides.

[0031] Further, as Figure 6 , the pushing member 114 includes: The first sliding frame 1141 slides horizontally on the first sliding track 1142; The first pneumatic gripper 1143 is installed on the first sliding frame 1141; The limiting plate 1144 is located on one side of the first pneumatic gripper 1143 and is installed on the first sliding frame 1141; The second sliding frame 1145 slides vertically on the second sliding track 1146, and the second sliding track 1146 is installed on the first sliding frame 1141; The first support platform 1146 is installed on the second sliding frame 1145 and moves within the clamping range of the first pneumatic gripper 1143.

[0032] In the present application, by providing a pushing member 114, after the upper guide or the lower guide is output from the blanking hole 1120, at this time, the first support platform 1146 is located at the lower end of the blanking hole 1120, and after contacting the upper guide or the lower guide, it slowly moves downward to achieve the stable output of the upper guide or the lower guide, preventing it from falling until the upper guide or the lower guide completely disengages from the blanking hole 1120, that is, the upper guide or the lower guide of the blanking hole is located within the clamping range of the first pneumatic gripper 1143. Then, the first pneumatic gripper 1143 clamps the upper guide or the lower guide, and after clamping, it slides through the first sliding frame 1141 to complete the transfer and output of the upper guide or the lower guide. During this process, the limiting plate 1144 moves synchronously to complete the limiting of the next group of upper guides or lower guides to be output, preventing them from falling.

[0033] Further, as Figures 7-8 , the bearing mounting mechanism 2 includes: A third sliding frame 21 that horizontally slides on a third sliding track 22, and pushing blocks 23 are provided at both ends of the third sliding frame 21; Discharging members 24, two sets of discharging members 24 are provided and symmetrically arranged on both sides of the third sliding track 22. The discharging member 24 includes a fourth sliding track 241, a plurality of sets of storage cylinders 242 arranged in sequence along the length direction of the fourth sliding track 241, a locking unit 243 provided at the lower end of the storage cylinder 242 for limiting the bearing in the storage cylinder 242, and a third driving unit 244 perpendicular to the moving direction of the third sliding frame 21 for pushing the bearing output from the storage cylinder 242 to the fourth sliding track 241.

[0034] In the present application, two sets of discharging members 24 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the third sliding track 22, and then the third sliding frame 21 is used to output the bearings output from both sides outward, thereby achieving the effect of one outputting two, making the output beats of the bearings the same.

[0035] Specifically, for any one set of discharging members 24, through a plurality of sets of storage cylinders 242 provided above the fourth sliding track 241, during continuous operation, when the bearings in any one set of storage cylinders 242 are used up, they can be manually replaced. During the replacement process, the bearings in the other set of storage cylinders 242 can be output one by one, thereby achieving the continuous output of the bearings, facilitating seamless continuous connection with the subsequent continuous guide assembly work, and improving work efficiency.

[0036] At the same time, through the locking unit 243, the limiting of the guide ring in the storage cylinder 242 is realized, so that the bearings in the storage cylinder 242 are in a limited state when not required for work, and when the output and blanking work is required, it can be realized by opening the locking unit 243. The structure is simple and convenient to use.

[0037] Moreover, the material locking unit 243 can adopt a positioning pin structure that is inserted and removed at the lower end of the material storage cylinder 242.

[0038] Furthermore, as Figure 9 , the transfer mechanism 3 includes: A fifth sliding carriage 31 that horizontally slides on a fifth sliding track 32; A fourth driving unit 33 that is installed on the fifth sliding carriage 31 and has a sixth sliding carriage 34 provided at its output end; and A second pneumatic gripper 35, with four groups of the second pneumatic grippers 35 all installed on the sixth sliding carriage 34.

[0039] Specifically, the detector on the sixth sliding carriage 34 detects the two bearings, the upper guide, and the lower guide after the output reaches the position. The controller drives the fourth driving unit 33 to start. The fourth driving unit 33 drives the four groups of second pneumatic grippers 35 to move downward through the sixth sliding carriage 34, and respectively clamps and extracts the two bearings, the upper guide, and the lower guide. After the extraction, the fourth driving unit 33 resets, and under the drive of the fifth sliding carriage 31, it moves to the assembly mechanism 4, and descends to respectively place the upper guide and the lower guide into the first installation cylinder 418 and the second installation cylinder 419 in the jig, and then respectively place the two bearings into the upper guide and the lower guide.

[0040] Furthermore, as Figures 10-11 , the rotating assembly 41 includes: A second turntable 411 that rotates on a second installation table 412 and intermittently rotates circumferentially under the drive of a fifth driving unit 413; A jig 414, with several groups of the jigs 414 detachably arranged along the circumferential direction of the second turntable 411. The jig 414 includes a base 415 that is penetrated and clamped on the second turntable 411, a mounting seat 417 that elastically slides on the base 415 through a second elastic unit 416, a first installation cylinder 418 and a second installation cylinder 419 that are installed on the mounting seat 417; Both the upper ends of the first installation cylinder 418 and the second installation cylinder 419 are provided with avoidance grooves 4141 and are elastically provided with installation columns 410 therein.

[0041] In this application, by setting the jig 414 with a floating structure, the first installation cylinder 418 and the second installation cylinder 419 can complete automatic switching during the horizontal movement process, thereby realizing that under the setting of one jig, the processing and positioning actions of the upper and lower two guides can be completed. Its structure is simple and the adaptability degree is high.

[0042] It should be noted that the avoidance groove 4141 is provided to enable the mechanical gripper to grip and remove the upper guide located in the first mounting cylinder 418, or to stably place the gripped upper guide into the first mounting cylinder 418 for avoidance. It should be noted that the structure of the second mounting cylinder 419 is set based on the same principle as that of the first mounting cylinder 418, which will not be elaborated here.

[0043] Further, as Figures 12-15 , the stamping assembly 42 includes: A translation member 421, which is installed on the second mounting table 412. It includes a seventh sliding frame 4212 that slides vertically on a seventh sliding track 4211, two groups of symmetrically arranged third pneumatic grippers 4213 and fourth pneumatic grippers 4214 on the seventh sliding frame 4212. The third pneumatic gripper 4213 and the fourth pneumatic gripper 4214 respectively act on the mounting seat 417 and drive the mounting seat 417 to move horizontally; A forming member 422, which includes an eighth sliding frame 4222 that slides vertically on an eighth sliding track 4221, a ninth sliding track 4223 installed on the eighth sliding frame 4222, a ninth sliding frame 4224 slidably arranged on the ninth sliding track 4223, a stamping head 4225 and a riveting head 4226 installed on the ninth sliding frame 4224. A sixth driving unit 4227 is installed on the eighth sliding frame 4222 and is used to drive the ninth sliding frame 4224 to move horizontally; and A first positioning member 423, which is located below the second turntable 411. It includes a seventh driving unit 4231 installed on a mounting plate, a workbench 4232 provided at the output end of the seventh driving unit 4231 and having an upper end that is matched with the lower end of the base 415, and a first support seat 4234 installed on the workbench 4232 and horizontally slidably penetrating through the workbench 4232 through an eighth driving unit 4233 on the workbench 4232.

[0044] Specifically, the fixture 414 moves below the formed part 422. The seventh drive unit 4231 drives the tool carrier 4232 to lift up. The protrusion on the upper surface of the tool carrier 4232 inserts into the groove on the lower surface of the base 415. Then, the eighth drive unit 4233 drives the first support seat 4234 to move horizontally to the lower end of the support part of the tool carrier 4232, thereby providing secondary support for the tool carrier 4232. Next, the eighth sliding frame 4222 moves downward, and the stamping head 4225 stamps the bearing in the upper guide several times to make it in place completely. Then, the sixth drive unit 4227 drives the ninth sliding frame 4224 to move horizontally, moving the riveting head 4226 directly above the upper guide. The eighth sliding frame 4222 moves up and down reciprocally again to achieve riveting on the upper end face of the upper guide. After the riveting is completed, the assembly of the upper guide and the bearing is initially completed; Next, the seventh sliding frame 4212 moves downward. The third pneumatic gripper 4213 and the fourth pneumatic gripper 4214 contact the mounting seat 417 and drive the mounting seat 417 to move, thereby enabling the first mounting cylinder 418 and the second mounting cylinder 419 above the mounting seat 417 to be alternately switched to the processing station. After moving into place, the position of the mounting seat 417 is fixed, enabling the coaxial position of the punch and the component during the stamping process, with precise processing, stable floating, and avoiding errors.

[0045] Subsequently, the lower guide and the bearing are initially assembled. The working principle process is the same as that of the initial assembly process of the upper guide and the bearing, and will not be elaborated here.

[0046] The purpose of setting the first positioning member 423 is to support the fixture during the stamping process. However, the stamping force is relatively large. Combining with the support of the first support seat 4234 for the tool carrier 4232 can avoid damage to the telescopic end of the seventh drive unit 4231 under strong pressure.

[0047] Embodiment 2 As Figures 16-17 shown, the same or corresponding components as those in Embodiment 1 adopt the corresponding reference numerals in Embodiment 1. For the sake of simplicity, only the differences from Embodiment 1 will be described below. The difference between this Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 lies in: Further, the output assembly 43 includes: A shaping unit 431, which includes a ninth drive unit 432 installed on a bracket 430, a mounting bracket 433 at the output end of the ninth drive unit 432, a first shaping column 434 and a second shaping column 435 installed on the mounting bracket 433; A second positioning member 436, which is located below the second turntable 411 and includes a second support seat 438 that moves up and down under the drive of a tenth drive unit 437 and is matched with the lower end of the base 415.

[0048] Furthermore, the rejection component 44 includes: A tenth sliding carriage 441 that horizontally slides on a tenth sliding track 442; An eleventh sliding carriage 443 that vertically slides on an eleventh sliding track 444, and the eleventh sliding track 444 is installed on the tenth sliding carriage 441; A fifth pneumatic gripper 445 that is installed on the eleventh sliding carriage 443 and correspondingly takes out the upper guide 100 and the lower guide 200 in the first mounting cylinder 418 and the second mounting cylinder 419 respectively; and Two waste bins 446 are provided.

[0049] In this application, by setting the output component 43 to cooperate with the rejection component 44, the shaping unit 431 presses down and adjusts the bearings located in the upper guide or the lower guide. After stamping and shaping, inspections are carried out. The qualified ones are clamped and output by the manipulator, and the unqualified ones are output backward to the next station. The rejection component 44 clamps and outputs the defective products. By setting the automation equipment, the product quality is stabilized, and the inspections and quality control are precise.

[0050] Specifically, the jig 414 moves to below the shaping unit 431, and the tenth driving unit 437 drives the second support base 438 to start upward. The second support base 438 moves to below the base 415 and contacts and supports it. Then, the ninth driving unit 432 drives the first shaping column 434 and the second shaping column 435 to descend. The first shaping column 434 and the second shaping column 435 respectively act on the two mounting columns 410. The mounting columns 410 move downward. During the movement, the first shaping column 434 and the second shaping column 435 pass through the bearings and shape the bearings deformed by the riveting work, and move up and down for shaping 3 times. After the shaping work on the bearings is completed, the detection unit detects the assembly position of the bearings. After passing the inspection, the external manipulator clamps and outputs the upper guide and the lower guide. The unqualified ones are output backward to the rejection component 44. The eleventh sliding carriage 443 moves downward along the eleventh sliding track 444 to above the upper guide and the lower guide. A detection unit is provided on one side of the fifth pneumatic gripper 445. When it detects that there is an upper guide or a lower guide in the first mounting cylinder 418 and the second mounting cylinder 419, the controller drives the fifth pneumatic gripper 445 to start. The fifth pneumatic gripper 445 clamps the defective product and lifts it, and after lifting, it moves above the waste bin 446 under the transmission of the tenth sliding carriage 441, and then descends to put the defective product into the waste bin 446.

[0051] Working steps The upper guide feeding component 11 and the lower guide feeding component 12 respectively output the upper guide 100 and the lower guide 200 synchronously one by one. At the same time, the bearing loading mechanism 2 outputs two bearings 300 side by side. After the upper guide 100, the lower guide 200 and the two bearings 300 move to the loading station of the transfer mechanism 3, the transfer mechanism 3 transfers them all to the assembly mechanism 4 and places them on the rotating component 41. At this time, the two bearings 300 are respectively placed on the upper guide 100 and the lower guide 200. The rotating component 41 moves to the stamping component 42 to complete the stamping and riveting work, and then is transmitted to the output component 43. After being detected by the detection unit, the qualified ones are automatically output, and the unqualified ones are transmitted to the rejection component 44 for output.

[0052] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
