Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of shock absorber manufacturing, and in particular relates to a fully automatic nitrogen inflator for a shock absorber assembly line. Background Art

[0002] The fully automatic nitrogen inflator for the shock absorber assembly line is a key equipment specially used in shock absorber production. Its main function is to charge nitrogen into the shock absorber at a precise pressure, providing efficient and precise nitrogen charging service for the shock absorber, thereby ensuring the stable and reliable performance of the shock absorber.

[0003] For example, a shock absorber inflation device is proposed with publication number CN119712768A, which includes a loading seat, an inflation platform and a pressure detection mechanism. The present invention forms a sealed inflation chamber on the outer periphery of the shock absorber through the inflation platform, and forms a gap between the oil seal and the piston rod of the shock absorber through a piercing head for subsequently establishing a gas channel. As the amount of gas filled into the inflation chamber increases, the gap between the oil seal and the piston rod is gradually expanded until a gas channel connecting the inflation chamber and the inside of the sleeve is formed, thereby inflating the sleeve. The present invention can automatically inflate the shock absorber, and the inflation efficiency is relatively high. Moreover, the present invention can accurately detect the air pressure inside the sleeve through a pressure sensor to accurately understand the inflation effect, thereby ensuring that a sufficient amount of nitrogen is filled into the shock absorber while avoiding damage to the shock absorber due to excessive filling of gas.

[0004] The above patent has the following defects during use:

[0005] The shock absorber needs to be fixed to the mounting seat by bolts. When the bolts need to be rotated and fixed manually, it is easy to introduce pollutants such as hand grease and dust, which will affect the product yield. In addition, during the inflation process, the inflation chamber only relies on the sealing ring to isolate the external environment. If the ambient humidity is high or contains impurities, they may penetrate into the inflation chamber through the gap of the sealing ring and pollute the nitrogen purity, making the nitrogen purity greatly affected by environmental factors. At the same time, the inflation pressure is indirectly judged by detecting the piston rod thrust through the pressure sensor. If the air pressure in the inflation chamber fluctuates or the sealing ring leaks slightly, it may cause the pressure sensor detection value to deviate from the actual pressure in the sleeve, affecting the product quality. It affects the inflation accuracy, and forms a sealed inflation chamber on the periphery of the shock absorber through the inflation table, and forms a gap for establishing a gas channel later between the oil seal and the piston rod of the shock absorber through the breaker head. If the sealing ring fails or the breaker head is not inserted into place, it is necessary to reversely infer leakage through the abnormal pressure sensor after inflation, resulting in a high rework rate and reduced efficiency. At the same time, it also lacks the ability to trace the inflation process data. If a batch of defective products occurs, it is difficult to trace the specific inflation parameters or fault links, which affects the nitrogen inflation effect of the shock absorber. For this reason, the present invention proposes a fully automatic nitrogen inflator for a shock absorber assembly line. Summary of the Invention

Specific embodiment:

[0040] See also Figures 1-8 As shown, the present invention provides a fully automatic nitrogen inflator for a shock absorber assembly line, comprising:

[0041] The electric cylinder 1, the work counter 34, and the shock absorber body 21 are all located on top of the work counter 34. Two pairs of guide columns 8 are fixedly connected to the top of the work counter 34. An inflatable mold lifting plate 6 is sleeved between the outer walls of the pair of guide columns 8. A nitrogen filling assembly 24 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the pair of inflatable mold lifting plates 6, and the nitrogen filling assembly 24 is used for filling nitrogen.

[0042] A downward movement mechanism is provided on the top of the inflation mold lifting plate 6 and is used to lower the nitrogen filling assembly 24;

[0043] The contact monitoring mechanism is provided at the bottom of the electric cylinder 1 and is used to monitor the extension force of the connecting rod of the shock absorber body 21;

[0044] Among them, the nitrogen charging assembly 24 includes an A port 25, a B port 26, a nitrogen port 27, a cylinder rod 28, a cylinder rod follower plate 29, a compression spring 30, a telescopic tongue 31, a sealing block 32 and an inflation needle 33. The A port 25 is located at the top of the B port 26, and the B port 26 is located at the top of the nitrogen port 27. One end of the cylinder rod 28 is connected to the cylinder rod follower plate 29, and the other end of the cylinder rod 28 corresponds to the A port 25 and the B port 26 respectively. The compression spring 30 is sleeved on the outside of the telescopic tongue 31. One end of the compression spring 30 supports the cylinder rod follower plate 29, and the other end of the compression spring 30 supports the limiting boss of the telescopic tongue 31. One end of the telescopic tongue 31 is fixedly connected to one end of the inflation needle 33, and the sealing block 32 is located on the outside of the inflation needle 33.

[0045] During the specific implementation process, after the shock absorber body 21 flows into the automatic nitrogen filling equipment station through the conveyor line 9, the laser sensor 22 detects that it is in place, and the motor 12 starts to rotate. After the motor 12 rotates, it drives the precision screw 3 to rotate through the commutator 13 and the coupling 14. The rotation of the precision screw 3 provides downward power for the electric cylinder ball nut mounting plate 4, and the connecting plate 5 is a plate connected between the electric cylinder ball nut mounting plate 4 and the inflation mold lifting plate 6, so when the electric cylinder ball nut mounting plate 4 moves downward, the inflation mold lifting plate 6 also moves downward synchronously, and the nitrogen filling component 24 is connected to the inflation mold lifting plate 6, so the nitrogen filling component 24 will also move downward synchronously. When the nitrogen filling After the nitrogen filling assembly 24 drops to the set position, the guide rod of the electric cylinder 1 extends to drive the floating joint assembly 15, the pressure sensor connecting plate 17, the pressure sensor 18 and the quick-change pressure head 19 to drop to the end face of the connecting rod of the shock absorber body 21, and then the oil cylinders 20 on both sides extend to fasten the nitrogen filling assembly 24 to the set nitrogen filling position. The nitrogen filling assembly 24 includes: A port 25, B port 26, nitrogen port 27, cylinder rod 28, cylinder rod follower plate 29, compression spring 30, telescopic tongue 31, sealing block 32, and inflation needle 33. When the nitrogen filling assemblies 24 on both sides are extended and fastened through the oil cylinder 20, the internal sealing blocks 32 of the nitrogen filling assemblies 24 on both sides are compressed to form a tight seal. The closed nitrogen sealed chamber, while the nitrogen filling components 24 on both sides are fastened, the rebound force of the compression spring 30 after being compressed drives the telescopic tongue 31 to press the inflation needle 33 on the connecting rod of the shock absorber body 21. When the proximity sensor 10 detects that the oil cylinder 20 is extended, the A port 25 intakes air, and the cylinder rod 28 drives the cylinder rod follower plate 29, the telescopic tongue 31 and the inflation needle 33 downward. At the same time, the inflation needle 33 extends along the connecting rod of the shock absorber body 21 and is inserted into the interior of the shock absorber body 21. After the nitrogen enters the sealed nitrogen sealed chamber formed by the compression of the sealing block 32 through the nitrogen port 27, the nitrogen will enter the interior of the cylinder of the shock absorber body 21 through the inflation needle 33. When the shock absorber After nitrogen enters the cylinder of the body 21, the connecting rod of the shock absorber body 21 extends, and the force of the extending connecting rod is transmitted to the pressure sensor 18 through the quick-change pressure head 19. When the force of the extending connecting rod of the shock absorber body 21 reaches the pressure value set by the pressure sensor 18, the nitrogen filling is completed, and the data of the laser sensor 22, the proximity sensor 10 and the pressure sensor 18 are collected and stored to record the key parameter data in the process from the conveying and positioning of the shock absorber body 21 to the close fit between the sealing block 32 and the surface of the shock absorber body 21 and then to the inflation pressure monitoring of the shock absorber body 21, so as to facilitate subsequent quality traceability and process optimization, thereby ensuring the nitrogen inflation effect.

[0046] Among them, the bottom end of the inflation mold lifting plate 6 is fixedly connected to a pair of oil cylinders 20, and the output end of the oil cylinder 20 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the nitrogen filling component 24, and the top end of the pair of inflation mold lifting plates 6 is fixedly connected to a pair of proximity sensors 10.

[0047] A pair of oil cylinders 20 push the nitrogen charging assembly 24 toward the center of the shock absorber body 21 until it reaches the preset nitrogen charging position. The sealing blocks 32 on both sides are pressed tightly against the cover under the thrust of the oil cylinder 20 to form a closed nitrogen sealing chamber. The sealed chamber covers the target inflation area between the connecting rod and the sleeve of the shock absorber body 21. The proximity sensor 10 is used to detect whether the oil cylinder 20 is fully extended to the set position to ensure that the sealing block 32 of the nitrogen charging assembly 24 is in close contact with the surface of the shock absorber body 21.

[0052] Among them, the downward movement mechanism includes an elevator mounting plate 2 which is sleeved between the outer walls of two pairs of guide columns 8, a pair of commutators 13 are fixedly connected to the top of the elevator mounting plate 2, and a coupling 14 is fixedly connected between the pair of commutators 13, the commutator 13 located on one side is fixedly connected to the motor 12, a screw bearing mounting plate 16 is sleeved between the outer walls of a pair of guide columns 8, and a precision screw 3 is fixedly connected between the commutator 13 and the screw bearing mounting plate 16, the outer wall of the precision screw 3 is threadedly connected to the electric cylinder ball nut mounting plate 4, and the electric cylinder ball nut mounting plate 4 is sleeved on the outer walls of the two pairs of guide columns 8, and a connecting plate 5 is fixedly connected between the bottom end of the electric cylinder ball nut mounting plate 4 and the top of a pair of inflatable mold lifting plates 6.

[0053] After the motor 12 rotates, it drives the precision screw 3 to rotate through the commutator 13 and the coupling 14. The rotation of the precision screw 3 provides downward power for the electric cylinder ball nut mounting plate 4. The electric cylinder ball nut mounting plate 4 drives the inflation mold lifting plate 6 to move downward through the connecting plate 5, so that the inflation mold lifting plate 6 drives the nitrogen filling assembly 24 to descend synchronously until it descends to the set position to facilitate subsequent inflation docking.

[0054] Among them, a pair of linear bearings 7 are sleeved on the outer walls of the two pairs of guide columns 8. The four linear bearings 7 at the top are embedded and connected to the electric cylinder ball nut mounting plate 4, and the four linear bearings 7 at the bottom are respectively embedded and connected to a pair of inflatable mold lifting plates 6.

When the force of the connecting rod extension of the shock absorber body 21 reaches the pressure value set by the pressure sensor 18, the nitrogen filling is completed.

[0058] A drag chain 11 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting plate 5 close to the pressure sensor connecting plate 17 , and one end of the drag chain 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the pressure sensor connecting plate 17 .

[0059] The drag chain 11 protects the power lines, signal lines and air pipes of the electric cylinder 1, the pressure sensor 18, the quick-change pressure head 19 and other components, so that they are not easily damaged by contact friction during movement.

The rotation of the precision screw 3 provides downward power for the electric cylinder ball nut mounting plate 4, and the connecting plate 5 is a plate connected between the electric cylinder ball nut mounting plate 4 and the inflation mold lifting plate 6, so when the electric cylinder ball nut mounting plate 4 moves downward, the inflation mold lifting plate 6 also moves downward synchronously, and the nitrogen filling assembly 24 and The inflatable mold lifting plate 6 is connected, so the nitrogen filling assembly 24 will also drop synchronously. When the nitrogen filling assembly 24 drops to the set position, the guide rod of the electric cylinder 1 extends to drive the floating joint assembly 15, the pressure sensor connecting plate 17, the pressure sensor 18 and the quick-change pressure head 19 to drop to the end face of the connecting rod of the shock absorber body 21, and then the oil cylinders 20 on both sides extend to buckle the nitrogen filling assembly 24 at the set nitrogen filling position.
