Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of bearing housing manufacturing, and more specifically to an automatic bearing housing assembly device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the assembly process of bearing housings in the bearing manufacturing industry has always been characterized by low efficiency. Traditional bearing housing products typically include a through-type mounting pin, with bearings installed on either side of the pin. Currently, manual assembly is commonly used, requiring operators to use hand-held clamps or hammers to install the bearings onto the mounting pins. This manual operation method is not only labor-intensive and inefficient, but also has the following significant drawbacks: manual operation makes it difficult to ensure consistent assembly precision, easily leading to fluctuations in product yield; hammering installation may cause hidden damage to the internal structure of the bearing; manual operation speed is limited, making it difficult to meet the needs of modern mass production; and there are safety hazards during operation, easily causing workplace accidents. Furthermore, existing technology lacks a complete automated inspection process, failing to achieve process control of assembly quality, resulting in defective products flowing into subsequent processes.

Detailed Implementation

[0016] To facilitate understanding of the present invention by those skilled in the art, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0017] like Figure 1 As shown in Figure 14, the present invention provides an automatic assembly device for 24 bearing seats. like Figure 1 As shown, the bearing housing includes a bearing housing body 21, a mounting pin 22, a positioning hole 23, and a bearing 24 mounted on the mounting pin 22. The positioning hole 23 is used for subsequent installation of the bearing housing. The upper surface of the bearing housing body 21 is also provided with a mounting groove 25. The bearing housing body 21 already has a mounting groove 25. The depth of the mounting groove 25 also determines whether the bearing 24 can be installed in place.

[0018] This embodiment proposes an automatic bearing housing assembly device, including a machine base 1 and a feeding station 100, a tapping station 200, an assembly station 300, an assembly inspection station 400, a product inspection station 500, and a defective product separation station 600, all arranged on the machine base 1 from left to right. A first feeding component 800 and a second feeding component 900 are respectively provided on one side of the feeding station 100 and the assembly station 300. The first feeding component 800 feeds material to the feeding station 100, and the second feeding component 900 feeds material to the assembly station 300. A clamping station 700 is also provided on one side of the feeding station 100, tapping station 200, assembly station 300, assembly inspection station 400 and product inspection station 500. The clamping station 700 places and transfers the bearing housing 2 to the corresponding station for processing in sequence.

[0019] This technical solution achieves continuous operation in the assembly process of bearing housing 2 by setting up multiple functional stations and adopting an automated conveying mechanism. Specifically, the feeding station 100 automatically supplies raw materials, the tapping station 200 processes the positioning holes 23, the assembly station 300 presses in the bearing 24, the assembly inspection station 400 checks whether the bearing 24 is installed correctly, and the product inspection station 500 checks whether the bearing housing body 21 is up to standard. After these two quality inspections, the defective products are sorted out by the defective product separation station 600. Compared with traditional manual assembly methods, this equipment significantly improves production efficiency, reduces labor intensity, and ensures the consistency of bearing housing 2 through automated inspection. The linear layout of each station helps shorten the material transfer distance, while the dedicated feeding components ensure the coordination of material supply between different processes.

[0020] Furthermore, this application also proposes that the feeding station 100 includes a feeding fixed seat 101 and a feeding bar 102 disposed on the feeding fixed seat 101. The feeding bar 102 has a feeding channel 103. One end of the feeding bar 102 corresponds to the first feeding component 800, and the feeding channel 103 communicates with the first feeding component 800.

[0021] This technical solution achieves directional conveying of the bearing housing body 21 blank through a modularly designed feeding mechanism. The feeding station 101 provides stable support for the entire feeding system, and the channel structure inside the feeding bar 102 ensures that the blank moves along a predetermined trajectory. Precise docking with the feeding components avoids misalignment during material transfer. Compared to manual feeding, this structure maintains a continuous and stable feeding rhythm, and through precise control of the channel size, it effectively prevents the blank from flipping or tilting during conveying, providing reliable material support for subsequent automated processing steps. In practical implementation, the feeding bar 102 of the corresponding size can be replaced according to different specifications of the bearing housing body 21 product to achieve rapid changeover production.

[0022] Furthermore, this application also proposes that a pushing component is provided at the other end of the feed bar 102. The pushing component includes a pushing base 1041, a pushing cylinder 1042, and a pushing block 1043. The pushing base 1041 is provided on the machine base 1. The cylinder body of the pushing cylinder 1042 is fixedly provided on the pushing base 1041. The pushing block 1043 is located on the pushing cylinder 1042 and is connected to the piston rod of the pushing cylinder 1042. The pushing block 1043 is moved by the pushing cylinder 1042.

[0023] This technical solution achieves automated workpiece transfer through a modularly designed pushing component. The pushing base 1041 provides a stable mounting reference for the entire mechanism, and the pushing cylinder 1042, as a power source, drives the pushing block 1043 to perform the pushing action via linear motion. Specifically, when the workpiece reaches the predetermined position through the feeding channel 103, the pushing cylinder 1042 extends its piston rod under air pressure, driving the pushing block 1043 to move axially along the feeding bar 102, smoothly pushing the workpiece between the gripper cylinder 706. The gripper cylinder 706 then moves the bearing seat body 21 to the subsequent processing station. Compared with manual operation, this structure significantly improves feeding accuracy and cycle consistency, and the cylinder-driven method avoids the impact and vibration problems of traditional mechanical pushing mechanisms. The direct connection design between the pushing block 1043 and the cylinder simplifies the transmission chain, making the system respond faster and easier to maintain.

[0024] Furthermore, this application also proposes that the pusher block 1043 has a fixed cavity 1044, the fixed cavity 1044 includes a first opening 1045 and a second opening 1046, the first opening 1045 has the same width as the feed channel 103, the width of the second opening 1046 is smaller than the width of the first opening 1045, and a part of the bearing seat 2 is exposed in the second opening 1046.

[0025] The fixed cavity 1044 is used to accommodate the bearing seat 2 conveyed from the feed channel 103. The first opening 1045 connects to the feed channel 103, ensuring the bearing seat 2 can smoothly enter the fixed cavity 1044. The width of the second opening 1046 is designed to be smaller than the first opening 1045, allowing the bearing seat 2 to be partially exposed in the fixed cavity 1044, facilitating gripping of the bearing seat 2 by the subsequent clamping station 700. It also limits the bearing seat 2, preventing it from falling through the fixed cavity 1044. The shape of the fixed cavity 1044 can be adjusted according to the shape of the bearing seat 2, for example, using a rectangle, circle, or other geometric shapes that match the bearing seat 2. The width ratio of the first opening 1045 and the second opening 1046 can be optimized according to the dimensions of the bearing seat 2; typically, the width of the second opening 1046 is 50%-80% of the width of the first opening 1045. The exposed portion of the bearing seat 2 is controlled between 20% and 40% to ensure gripping stability.

[0026] This technical solution solves the problem of inaccurate positioning of the bearing housing 2 during transfer by setting a fixed cavity 1044 with a specific structure. The first opening 1045 of the fixed cavity 1044 matches the feed channel 103, ensuring that the bearing housing 2 can enter smoothly; the narrowed design of the second opening 1046 exposes part of the bearing housing 2, providing a clear gripping position for subsequent clamping operations. Compared with the prior art, this solution improves the accuracy and efficiency of bearing housing 2 transfer and reduces processing errors caused by inaccurate positioning. In specific implementation, the size of the fixed cavity 1044 can be adjusted according to different bearing housing 2 specifications, showing good adaptability.

[0027] Furthermore, this application also proposes that the tapping station 200 includes a tap 201 and a tapping fixing seat 202 disposed opposite to the tap 201. The tapping fixing seat 202 is slidably disposed on the machine base 1 via a guide rail. A tapping cylinder 203 is disposed on one side of the tapping fixing seat 202. The cylinder body of the tapping cylinder 203 is fixedly disposed on the machine base 1. The piston rod of the tapping cylinder 203 is connected to the tapping fixing seat 202 via a tapping connecting block 204. The tapping fixing seat 202 is moved by the tapping cylinder 203.

[0028] The tapping fixture 202 is slidably mounted on the machine base 1 via a guide rail, which can be a linear guide rail or a ball guide rail to ensure smooth movement and guidance.

[0029] This technical solution uses a cylinder to drive the tapping fixture 202 to move along a guide rail, achieving precise alignment between the tap 201 and the workpiece. Specifically, when the tapping cylinder 203 pushes the tapping fixture 202 to move, the guide rail provides guidance and support, ensuring the straightness and stability of the movement trajectory. This solves the problems of low efficiency and poor accuracy associated with traditional manual position adjustments. Compared with existing technologies, this solution achieves automated positioning, improves tapping accuracy and processing efficiency, and reduces the labor intensity of operators.

[0030] A collection groove is provided on the machine 1 at the position corresponding to the tap 201. Because debris will be discharged during tapping, the collection groove allows the debris generated during tapping to enter the collection frame inside the machine 1, ensuring the cleanliness of the machine 1.

[0031] On the other hand, the tap 201 achieves tapping by being driven by a motor, which is already a publicly available technology, so it will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0032] Furthermore, this application also proposes that a first limiting block 205 is provided on the tapping fixture 202, and a limiting component 206 is provided on one side of the guide rail. The limiting component 206 includes a limiting support frame 2061, a limiting cylinder 2062 is provided on the limiting support frame 2061, and a second limiting block 2063 is provided on the piston rod of the limiting cylinder 2062. Inclined surfaces 207 are provided on both the first limiting block 205 and the second limiting block 2063.

[0033] This technical solution employs a mutually cooperating inclined surface 207 limiting structure. When the tapping fixture 202 moves to the machining position, the limiting cylinder 2062 pushes the second limiting block 2063 to contact the first limiting block 205 via the inclined surface 207, generating a self-locking effect. This effectively prevents displacement of the tapping fixture 202 due to axial forces generated during drilling. The inclined surface 207 cooperation structure offers higher positioning accuracy compared to planar contact, ensuring the perpendicularity of the tap 201 to the workpiece is controlled within ±0.05mm. Furthermore, this limiting mechanism uses a pneumatic drive, resulting in fast response speed and a single positioning time of no more than 0.5 seconds, significantly improving machining efficiency. Compared to traditional mechanical stop positioning methods, this solution, through an adjustable pneumatic limiting mechanism, can adapt to the machining requirements of blind holes 908 of varying depths and has lower maintenance costs.

[0034] Furthermore, this application also proposes that the assembly station 300 includes an assembly bracket 301, within which a first assembly component 302 and a second assembly component 303 are disposed. Both the first assembly component 302 and the second assembly component 303 include an assembly base 304, an assembly drive 305, an assembly limiting plate 306, an assembly screw 307, an upper mounting plate 308, an mounting head 309, a lower mounting plate 310, a first polished circle 311, and a second polished circle 312. The assembly drive 305 is located on the upper side of the assembly bracket 301, and the assembly limiting plate 306 is located between the assembly drive 305 and the assembly bracket 301. The assembly drive 305 is mounted on the assembly limiting plate 306, and its output shaft passes through the assembly limiting plate 306. The output shaft of the assembly drive 305 is connected to the assembly screw 307 via a transmission connection. The top of the assembly bracket 301 is fixed... A bushing 313 is fixedly provided to match the assembly screw 307. The other end of the assembly screw 307 passes through the bushing 313 and the assembly bracket 301 and is connected to the upper mounting plate 308. The first smooth circle 311 passes through the assembly bracket 301, and the two ends of the first smooth circle 311 are fixedly connected to the upper mounting plate 308 and the assembly limiting plate 306, respectively. The mounting head 309 is located between the upper mounting plate 308 and the lower mounting plate 310. A part of the mounting head 309 is exposed in the lower mounting plate 310. The lower mounting plate 310 is fixedly connected to the mounting head 309. One end of the second smooth circle 312 is located on the machine base 1, and the other end of the smooth circle passes through the lower mounting plate 310. The assembly drive 305 drives the assembly screw 307 to rotate, thereby driving the lower mounting plate 310, the mounting head 309 and the lower mounting plate 310 to rise and fall along the axial direction of the first smooth circle 311 and the second smooth circle 312.

[0035] Specifically, the assembly drive 305 can employ a servo motor or a stepper motor to achieve precise rotation control. The fit between the assembly screw 307 and the bushing 313 can utilize a trapezoidal thread or a ball screw structure to improve transmission accuracy and load-bearing capacity. The first and second smooth bearings 311 and 312 can be guided by linear bearings 24 or sliding bearings 24 to ensure stability during the lifting process. The mounting head 309 can be designed to be replaceable to accommodate different sizes of bearings 24. The fixed connection between the lower mounting plate 310 and the mounting head 309 can be achieved using bolts or a quick-release structure for easy maintenance and replacement.

[0036] Therefore, this technical solution achieves efficient parallel operation in the bearing housing assembly process through the design of dual assembly components. The assembly drive 305 drives the mounting head 309 to precisely lift and lower via screw transmission, and with the guiding effect of the smooth circle, ensures the accuracy and stability of the bearing 24 press-fitting. Compared with the existing technology, this solution solves the problems of low efficiency and poor consistency of manual operation, and realizes the automation and standardization of the assembly of the bearing housing body 21.

The main feeding bar is mounted on the machine base 1 via a second feeding seat. One end of the main feeding bar is connected to the second vibrating loading screen 901, and the other end of the main feeding bar is connected to the material distribution component 904. The main feeding bar is provided with a main feeding channel 906. The material distribution assembly 904 includes a material distribution base plate 9041, a material distribution sliding plate 9042, and a material distribution plate 9043. The material distribution base plate 9041 is horizontally disposed at the end of the main feeding bar.

The material distribution sliding plate 9042 is vertically disposed on the material distribution base plate 9041. The material distribution sliding plate 9042 is provided with a clearance groove 9045, which corresponds to the main feeding bar. The material distribution plate 9043 is slidably disposed in the material distribution channel 9044 and is connected to the material distribution sliding plate 9042 via a slide rail. A material distribution drive cylinder 9046 is provided on the top of the material distribution sliding plate 9042. The cylinder body of the material distribution drive cylinder 9046 is fixedly connected to the material distribution sliding plate 9042, and the piston rod of the material distribution drive cylinder 9046 is fixedly connected to the material distribution plate 9043. The material distribution plate 9043 is moved by the material distribution drive cylinder 9046. The number of auxiliary feeding strips 903 is the same as the number of assembly components. Two auxiliary feeding strips 903 are set on both sides of the main feeding strip through auxiliary feeding bases 907. A blind hole 908 is provided on the upper surface of the auxiliary feeding strip 903 near one end. The material distribution channel 9044 is provided with two through holes 909. The blind hole 908 corresponds to the through hole 909, and the diameters of the blind hole 908 and the through hole 909 are the same.

The auxiliary feeding bar 903 also includes an extension 9031, which extends towards the second vibrating feeding screen 901. The upper surface of the extension 9031 slides in contact with the lower surface of the limiting cylinder 910. An auxiliary feeding cylinder 911 is provided on one side of the auxiliary feeding base 907. The cylinder body of the auxiliary feeding cylinder 911 is connected to the auxiliary feeding base 907. The piston rod of the auxiliary feeding cylinder 911 is connected to the auxiliary feeding bar 903 through a connecting block. The auxiliary feeding cylinder 911 drives the auxiliary feeding bar 903 to move towards the mounting head 309.

[0038] Specifically, the first vibrating loading screen 801 is used to screen and arrange the bearing housing body 21, and conveys the bearing housing body 21 to the feeding station 100 via the first feeding bar 802. The second vibrating loading screen 901 is used to screen and arrange the bearings 24, and conveys the bearings 24 to the distribution assembly 904 via the main feeding bar. The distribution assembly 904 drives the distribution plate 9043 to move via the distribution drive cylinder 9046, distributing the bearings 24 from the main feeding channel 906 to two auxiliary feeding bars 903. The auxiliary feeding bars 903, driven by the auxiliary feeding cylinder 911, convey the bearings 24 to the mounting head 309 position of the assembly station 300. The setting of the limiting cylinder 910 can ensure that the bearings 24 remain stable during the conveying process, avoiding displacement or falling. The design of the extension 9031 can increase the contact area between the auxiliary feeding bars 903 and the limiting cylinder 910, improving the stability of the conveying. Meanwhile, when the auxiliary feeding bar 903 is feeding material, the upper surface of the extension 9031 is always in contact with the lower surface of the limiting cylinder 910 to prevent the bearing 24 inside the limiting cylinder 910 from falling out. When the auxiliary feeding bar 903 is reset, the bearing 24 at the bottom of the limiting cylinder 910 naturally falls into the blind hole 908, and the auxiliary feeding bar 903 continues to feed material.

[0039] Therefore, the technical solution of this application achieves automatic feeding of the bearing housing body 21 and the bearing 24 by setting up a first feeding component 800 and a second feeding component 900. The second feeding component 900, employing a material distribution assembly 904 and a secondary feeding bar 903, can accurately distribute the bearing 24 to the two assembly stations 300, improving the efficiency and accuracy of feeding. Compared with the prior art, this solution avoids the tedious operation of manual feeding, reduces human error, and improves assembly efficiency and the quality of the bearing housing 2.

[0040] In this embodiment, the end of the mounting head 309 is magnetic. During assembly, the auxiliary feed bar 903 moves the bearing 24 to the underside of the mounting head 309. The mounting head 309 falls and attracts the bearing 24. Then the auxiliary feed bar 903 is reset. The bearing 24 is installed after the bearing housing body 21, which has completed the previous process, is in place.

[0041] Furthermore, this application also proposes specific implementation schemes for an assembly inspection station 400, a product inspection station 500, and a defective product separation station 600. The assembly inspection station 400 includes an assembly inspection base 401 and an assembly inspection sensor 402. The assembly inspection sensor 402 is vertically and vertically mounted on the machine base 1 and is used to detect whether each component is properly assembled during the assembly process of the bearing housing body 21. The product inspection station 500 includes a product inspection base 501 and a product inspection sensor 502. The product inspection sensor 502 is vertically and vertically mounted on the machine base 1 and is used to detect the final assembly quality of the bearing housing 2. The defective product separation station 600 includes a defective product separation seat 601, which is slidably mounted on the machine base 1 via a guide rail. A defective product separation cylinder 602 is provided on one side of the defective product separation seat 601. The cylinder body of the defective product separation cylinder 602 is fixedly mounted on the machine base 1, and the piston rod is connected to the defective product separation seat 601. A defective product placement frame 603 is provided on one side of the defective product separation seat 601. The defective product placement frame 603 has a defective product placement cavity 604 for storing bearing seats 2 that fail the inspection.

[0042] Assembly inspection station 400 is used to check whether the bearing 24 is installed and whether it is installed in place. Product inspection station 500 is used to check whether the depth of the mounting groove 25 on the bearing housing body 21 meets the standard. Normally, the defective product separator 601 is far away from the clamping station 700. Only when a non-standard bearing housing 2 is detected, the defective product separator 601 and the defective product placement frame 603 are moved to one side of the clamping station 700 by the defective product separator cylinder 602. After the clamping station 700 puts the defective product into the defective product placement frame 603, the defective product separator cylinder 602 drives the defective product separator 601 and the defective product placement frame 603 to return to their original positions.

[0043] Therefore, this technical solution, by setting up an assembly inspection station 400, a product inspection station 500, and a defective product separation station 600, achieves real-time detection and automatic separation of defective bearing housings during the assembly process, solving the problems of low efficiency and easy omissions in manual inspection. Compared with existing technologies, this solution improves the accuracy and efficiency of inspection, reduces manual intervention, and lowers production costs. Specifically, the assembly inspection sensor 402 and the product inspection sensor 502 can promptly detect problems in the assembly process, preventing defective bearing housings 2 from flowing into the next process; the defective product separation station 600 can automatically separate defective bearing housings 2, reducing manual operation and improving production efficiency.

[0044] Furthermore, this application also proposes a specific implementation scheme for the clamping station 700. A clamping fixing base 701 is vertically and flexibly mounted on the machine base 1 via a clamping slide bar 702. A clamping mounting plate 703 is slidably mounted on the clamping fixing base 701 via a slide rail. A clamping pushing cylinder 704 is provided on one side of the clamping mounting plate 703. The cylinder body of the clamping pushing cylinder 704 is connected to the clamping fixing base 701, and the piston rod is connected to the clamping mounting plate 703. A clamping lifting cylinder 705 is provided inside the machine base 1. The cylinder body of the clamping lifting cylinder 705 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the machine base 1, and the piston rod is connected to the bottom of the clamping fixing base 701. The clamping mounting plate 703 is equipped with a gripper cylinder 706 at the positions corresponding to the feeding station 100, the tapping station 200, the second assembly component 303, the assembly inspection station 400, and the product inspection station 500. A rotary gripper cylinder 707 is also provided at the position corresponding to the first assembly component 302.

[0045] This solution achieves precise transfer between multiple workstations through a modular gripping mechanism. The gripping lifting cylinder 705 works in conjunction with the gripping slide bar 702 to achieve vertical positioning, the gripping push cylinder 704 controls horizontal movement, and the gripper cylinder 706 completes the workpiece gripping. The rotating gripper cylinder 707 is specifically designed for the bearing 24 assembly process and can adjust the bearing 24's orientation during transfer. Compared to manual operation, this structure enables continuous and stable workpiece flow, solving the problems of inaccurate positioning and low efficiency in traditional assembly processes. The actions of each cylinder are coordinated through program control, ensuring precise positioning and efficient transfer of the workpiece between workstations.

[0046] The rotary gripper cylinder 707 is correspondingly set with the first assembly component 302. After the first assembly component installs the bearing 24 onto one side of the bearing housing body, the rotary gripper cylinder 707 clamps the bearing housing 2. When the bearing housing 2 is placed into the second assembly component 303, the rotary gripper drives the bearing housing 2 to rotate 180 degrees, realizing the bidirectional installation of the bearing 24.

[0047] The specific working principle of this invention is as follows: First, the first feeding component 800 feeds the bearing housing body 21 to the feeding station 100. The bearing housing body 21 moves to the pusher block 1043, and the bearing housing body 21 is clamped by the fixing cavity 1044. Then, the pusher cylinder 1042 pushes the bearing housing body 21 to one side to prevent interference with the bearing housing body 21 to be assembled on the rear side. The gripper cylinder 706 clamps the bearing housing body 21. The gripping lifting cylinder 705 lifts the gripping mounting plate 703 and the gripper cylinder 706. After being lifted to a certain height, the gripping push cylinder 704 moves the entire gripping mounting plate 703 and the gripper cylinder 706 to the right. At this time, the gripper cylinder 706 moves to the top of the next station. The gripping lifting cylinder 705 resets, and the gripper cylinder 706 clamps the bearing housing body. The bearing body 21 is transferred to the next workstation, and this process is repeated until the bearing housing 2 passes inspection. It should be noted that when the bearing housing body 21 is located in the position of the first assembly component 302, the mounting head 309 installs the bearing 24 onto the mounting pin 22 by pressing and interference fit. After the bearing 24 on one side is installed, the rotary gripper cylinder 707 clamps the bearing housing body 21, and the gripping lifting cylinder 705 is activated to raise the rotary gripper cylinder 707 to a certain height. Then, the gripping push cylinder 704 drives the rotary gripper cylinder 707 to move towards the second assembly component 303. The rotary gripper cylinder 707 rotates 180 degrees during the movement, so that the side of the bearing housing body 21 without the bearing 24 is facing upwards. At this time, the second assembly component 303 installs the bearing 24 on the other side of the bearing housing body 21. After the bearing 24 is installed, the next process is carried out.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
