The nut tightening assembly is provided with a clamping block for clamping the nut, and the clamping block is longitudinally slidably connected and rotatable relative to the assembly table; The assembly table is further provided with two feeding assemblies that are vertically slidably connected. The two feeding assemblies move following the same-side stop rod. The front feeding assembly is used for installing bolts, and the rear feeding assembly is used for installing nuts.
[0005] On the basis of the above technical solution, a leaf spring production and assembly device of the present invention can be further improved as follows: Further, the hole position adjusting assembly includes a telescopic cylinder A fixedly installed on the assembly table. The movable end of the telescopic cylinder A extends backward, and a pin shaft is fixedly installed at the end. The diameter of the rear end of the pin shaft is slightly smaller than that of the front end.
[0006] Further, a sunken groove is formed on the assembly table. The leaf spring positioning assembly includes a support plate fixedly installed in the middle of the sunken groove. Through holes are provided at both the left and right ends of the support plate; A double-headed screw is rotatably connected through a bearing in the through hole on the right side. Threaded blocks are sleeved on both the front and rear ends of the double-headed screw. A driving motor A is fixedly installed inside the support plate and at the rear end of the double-headed screw. The vertical shaft of the driving motor A extends forward and is connected to the rear end of the double-headed screw through a coupling.
[0007] Further, a round rod is fixedly connected in the through hole on the left side. Movable blocks are sleeved on both the front and rear ends of the round rod and are slidably connected thereto; Stop rods are fixedly installed on the top walls of the threaded blocks and the movable blocks. The threaded blocks and the movable blocks are fixedly connected by a connecting rod.
[0008] Further, the nut tightening assembly includes a driving motor B. The output shaft of the driving motor B extends forward, and a guide rod is fixedly connected to the end. A clamping cylinder is fixedly installed at the front end of the guide rod; The fixed end of a telescopic cylinder B is also fixedly installed on the assembly table.

The hinge seats B are symmetrically fixedly installed on the piston rod of the clamping cylinder.
[0010] Further, the feeding component includes a hopper slidably connected vertically relative to the assembly table. A distributing column is rotatably connected to the lower end of the hopper. A plurality of distributing grooves are equidistantly arranged on the circumference of the distributing column. A baffle block fixedly installed on the hopper is arranged on the circumferential surface of one side of the distributing groove.
[0011] Further, a temporary storage block is fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the hopper. A temporary storage groove with the same size as the distributing groove is arranged at the upper end of the temporary storage block.
[0012] A method for manufacturing and assembling a leaf spring, which includes the following steps: S1: Extend the movable end of the telescopic cylinder A to drive the pin shaft to move backward. S2: Place the leaf spring sheet to be assembled on the support plate and the sinking groove, and insert the central hole of the leaf spring sheet onto the pin shaft. S3: Move the front and rear retaining rods inward simultaneously to hold the front and rear sides of the leaf spring sheet, preventing the leaf spring sheet from moving back and forth. S4: First, lower the rear feeding component to feed the nut. When a nut falls into the temporary storage groove, extend the movable end of the telescopic cylinder A again. The pin shaft is inserted into the threaded hole of the nut, and the nut is driven to move backward by the stepped pin shaft. S5: When the nut moves to the clamping cylinder, clamp the nut with the clamping block, fully retract the movable end of the telescopic cylinder A, and raise the rear feeding component. S6: Lower the front feeding component to feed the bolt. When a bolt falls into the temporary storage groove, extend the movable end of the telescopic cylinder A again to push the bolt into the central hole of the leaf spring sheet. At this time, the pin shaft abuts against the bolt and remains stationary. S7: At this time, drive the nut to move forward and rotate by the nut tightening component to tighten the nut on the bolt.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of a leaf spring production and assembly device provided by the present invention are as follows: By setting the hole position adjusting component, the lateral positioning of the leaf spring sheet can be carried out, and the nuts and bolts to be installed can be pushed. By setting the leaf spring positioning component, multiple leaf spring sheets can be fitted together, and the longitudinal positioning of the leaf spring sheet can be carried out. Cooperating with the hole position adjusting component, the leaf spring sheet cannot move, and subsequent installation operations can be carried out. By setting two feeding components, the nuts and bolts can be respectively fed. The stepping motor rotates the distributing column by one station at a time, that is, a distributing groove moves clockwise to the position of the adjacent distributing groove. The nuts and bolts fed by the feeding components have their central axes distributed longitudinally, so that the nuts and bolts do not need to be adjusted in angle and only need to be moved longitudinally for installation.
[0014] By setting the nut tightening component, the nut can be screwed onto the bolt. On the basis of fitting multiple leaf spring pieces and corresponding central holes, the assembling device can replace the operations of installing bolts and tightening nuts, avoiding the situation that the nuts fall off due to failure to be tightened when manually tightening the nuts.

[0027] Optionally, in the above technical solution, hinge seats A71 are fixedly installed on both opposite sides of the clamping cylinder 63. The rear ends of the clamping plates 72 are hinged to the hinge seats A71 respectively. Clamping blocks 73 are fixedly installed on the opposite front surfaces of the front ends of the clamping plates 72.

The hinge seats B75 are symmetrically fixedly installed on the piston rod of the clamping cylinder 63.
[0028] Optionally, in the above technical solution, the feeding assembly 5 includes a hopper 51 slidably connected vertically relative to the assembly table 1. A distributing column 52 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the hopper 51. A plurality of distributing grooves 53 are equidistantly formed on the circumference of the distributing column 52. A blocking block 54 fixedly installed on the hopper 51 is arranged on the circumferential surface of one side of the distributing groove 53.
[0029] Optionally, in the above technical solution, a temporary storage block 55 is fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the hopper 51, and a temporary storage groove 56 with the same size as the material distribution groove 53 is opened at the upper end of the temporary storage block 55.
[0030] The present invention provides an assembly method for a leaf spring production and assembly device, which includes the following steps: S1: Extend the movable end of the telescopic cylinder A31 to drive the pin shaft 32 to move backward. S2: Place the leaf spring sheet to be assembled on the support plate 41 and the sinking groove 40, and insert the central hole of the leaf spring sheet onto the pin shaft 32. S3: Move the front and rear retaining rods 47 inward simultaneously to hold the front and rear sides of the leaf spring sheet, preventing the leaf spring sheet from moving back and forth. S4: First, lower the rear-end feeding assembly 5 to feed the nuts. When a nut falls into the temporary storage groove 56, extend the movable end of the telescopic cylinder A31 again. The pin shaft 32 is inserted into the screw hole of the nut, and the nut is driven to move backward by the stepped pin shaft 32. S5: When the nut moves to the clamping cylinder 63, clamp the nut with the clamping block 73, fully retract the movable end of the telescopic cylinder A31, and raise the rear-end feeding assembly 5. S6: Lower the front-end feeding assembly 5 to feed the bolts. When a bolt falls into the temporary storage groove 56, extend the movable end of the telescopic cylinder A31 again to push the bolt into the central hole of the leaf spring sheet. At this time, the pin shaft 32 abuts against the bolt and remains stationary. S7: At this time, make the nut tightening assembly 6 drive the nut to move forward and rotate to tighten the nut on the bolt.
[0031] Furthermore, two inverted U-shaped support frames 58 are fixedly installed on the connecting rod 48 (the rear wall of the support frame 58 is installed on the front wall of the connecting rod 48). The fixed ends of two telescopic cylinders C59 are fixedly installed on the support frame 58. The movable ends of the telescopic cylinders C59 extend downward and are fixedly connected to the top wall of the hopper 51. When the movable ends of the telescopic cylinders C59 complete extension, the center lines of the temporary storage groove 56 and the pin shaft 32 are collinear.
[0032] Among them, the telescopic cylinder C59 drives the hopper 51 to move up and down, and can also adjust nuts and bolts with different diameters to make their central axes collinear.
[0033] Among them, the support plate 41 and the sinking groove 40 are at the same height; among them, the temporary storage groove 56 penetrates the front and rear walls of the temporary storage block 55; among them, the two clamping blocks 73 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the pin shaft 32.
[0034] Among them, the diameter of the rear end of the pin shaft 32 is slightly thinner, which can fit the inner diameter of the nut (i.e., the rear end diameter of the pin shaft 32 has a clearance fit with the inner diameter of the nut), and the diameter of the front end of the pin shaft 32 is slightly thicker, which can fit the inner diameter of the center hole of the leaf spring (i.e., the front end diameter of the pin shaft 32 has a clearance fit with the inner diameter of the center hole of the leaf spring).
[0035] Among them, the end face of the material distribution column 52 is close to the inner wall of the hopper 51 to prevent nuts or bolts from falling between the material distribution column 52 and the hopper 51.
[0036] The moving mode of the shift lever 47 is as follows: Start the drive motor A49 to make its output shaft rotate clockwise or counterclockwise, driving the double-headed screw 43 to rotate forward or backward), so that the screw blocks 44 on the front and rear sides move inwards or outwards simultaneously. Through the connecting rod 48, the moving block 46 makes the same movement on the round rod 45, so that the shift levers 47 on the front and rear sides approach or move away from each other simultaneously (wherein, the thread directions on the front and rear sides of the double-headed screw 43 are opposite, so the thread directions of the screw blocks 44 on the front and rear sides are also opposite).
[0037] The feeding method of nuts or bolts is as follows: Pour a batch of nuts or bolts with the same size into the hopper 51, start the stepping motor 57 to drive the material distribution column 52 to rotate clockwise (wherein, the axial length of the front-side material distribution groove 53 is slightly longer than the length of the bolt, which is convenient for the bolt to fall into the material distribution groove 53 in the longitudinal direction of the center line; the axial length of the rear-side material distribution groove 53 is slightly longer than the thickness of the nut, which is convenient for the nut to fall into the material distribution groove 53 in the longitudinal direction of the center line of the screw hole). The nuts and bolts rotate to the temporary storage block 55 through the baffle block 54, so that the lowermost nut or bolt falls into the temporary storage groove 56, and at this time, the stepping motor 57 stops rotating.
[0038] The clamping method of the nut is as follows: Make the movable end of the clamping cylinder 63 contract, drive the hinge seat B75 to move backward, and drive the clamping plates 72 to approach each other through the hinge between the hinge seat B75 and the clamping plates 72, so that the clamping blocks 73 approach each other until the nut is clamped.
[0039] The tightening method of the nut is as follows: Start the drive motor B61 to drive the guide rod 62 to rotate through its output shaft, so that the clamping blocks 73 on the clamping cylinder 63 rotate accordingly. At the same time, extend the movable end of the telescopic cylinder B64 to drive the clamping blocks 73 on the clamping cylinder 63 to move forward until the nut is screwed onto the bolt.
[0040] Furthermore, the clamping cylinder 63 adopts a cylinder with a rotary joint. Install the rotary joint at the fixed end of the cylinder, connect the air pipe to the stationary end, and keep the air pipe fixed through the rotary joint when the cylinder rotates to avoid winding; or adopt a rotary cylinder with an internal air pipe, integrate the air pipe channel inside the cylinder, and the air pipe passes through the center of the cylinder and rotates synchronously with the cylinder without external winding, such as a rotary cylinder.
[0041] Working principle: In the initial state, the distance between the front and rear shift levers 47 is at the maximum state. The front and rear feeding assemblies 5 are both at the highest end of the stroke. The movable end of the telescopic cylinder A31 is fully retracted, and the pin shaft 32 is at the forefront. The movable end of the telescopic cylinder B64 is fully retracted, and the nut tightening assembly 6 is at the rearmost end. The movable end of the clamping cylinder 63 is fully extended, and the distance between the two clamping blocks 73 is the largest. Position the leaf spring: Extend the movable end of the telescopic cylinder A31 to drive the pin shaft 32 to move backward (the position of the rear end of the pin shaft 32 does not exceed the position of the rear shift lever 47). The staff arranges the leaf spring pieces in order from long to short, and the concave surface of the leaf spring faces the rear end. Make the straight long side of the leaf spring piece contact the sinking groove 40 and the support plate 41. The side of the leaf spring piece with the mounting nut faces the nut tightening assembly 6, and the leaf spring piece is located between the front and rear shift levers 47. Insert the central hole of the leaf spring piece onto the pin shaft 32 so that the leaf spring piece cannot move left and right. Move the front and rear shift levers 47 inward simultaneously to hold the front and rear sides of the leaf spring piece, preventing the leaf spring piece from moving forward and backward (and move the pin shaft 32 to a position where the rear end slightly protrudes from the rearmost leaf spring piece to prevent affecting the feeding of the nut). Install the bolt and nut: First, lower the rear feeding assembly 5 to feed the nut. When a nut falls into the temporary storage groove 56, extend the movable end of the telescopic cylinder A31 again. The pin shaft 32 is inserted into the screw hole of the nut and drives the nut to move backward through the stepped pin shaft 32. When the nut moves to the clamping cylinder 63, clamp the nut with the clamping block 73, and fully retract the movable end of the telescopic cylinder A31. Then, raise the rear feeding assembly 5. Lower the front feeding assembly 5 to feed the bolt. When a bolt falls into the temporary storage groove 56, extend the movable end of the telescopic cylinder A31 again to push the bolt into the central hole of the leaf spring piece. At this time, make the pin shaft 32 abut against the bolt on the leaf spring, and the nut tightening assembly 6 drives the nut to move forward and rotate to tighten the nut on the bolt. Since the front feeding assembly 5 is installed on the front wall of the connecting rod 48, its temporary storage groove 56 is close to the convex surface of the leaf spring, and it can push the bolt onto the leaf spring.
[0042] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not used to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention can have various changes and modifications. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.

A stop block (54) fixedly mounted on the hopper (51) is provided on the circumferential surface of one side of the material distributing groove (53).
8. A leaf spring production and assembly device according to claim 7, characterized in that, A temporary storage block (55) is fixedly mounted on the bottom wall of the hopper (51). A temporary storage groove (56) having the same size as the material distributing groove (53) is formed at the upper end of the temporary storage block (55).
9. A method for manufacturing and assembling a leaf spring, characterized in that, It includes the following steps: S1: Extend the movable end of the telescopic cylinder A (31) to drive the pin shaft (32) to move backward; S2: Place the leaf spring to be assembled on the support plate (41) and the sinking groove (40), and insert the center hole of the leaf spring onto the pin shaft (32); S3: Move the front and rear stop rods (47) inward simultaneously to abut against the front and rear sides of the leaf spring, so that the leaf spring cannot move forward and backward; S4: First, lower the rear-end feeding assembly (5) to feed nuts. When a nut falls into the temporary storage groove (56), extend the movable end of the telescopic cylinder A (31) again. The pin shaft (32) is inserted into the screw hole of the nut, and the nut is driven to move backward by the stepped pin shaft (32); S5: When the nut moves to the clamping cylinder (63), clamp the nut with the clamp block (73), fully retract the movable end of the telescopic cylinder A (31), and raise the rear-end feeding assembly (5); S6: Lower the front-end feeding assembly (5) to feed bolts. When a bolt falls into the temporary storage groove (56), extend the movable end of the telescopic cylinder A (31) again to push the bolt into the center hole of the leaf spring. At this time, the pin shaft (32) abuts against the bolt and remains stationary; S7: At this time, drive the nut to move forward and rotate by the nut tightening assembly (6) to tighten the nut on the bolt.
