Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of metalworking machine tools for universal joints, specifically to a universal joint cross-axis gravity recognition assembly robot. Background Technology
[0002] In the production and assembly process of universal joints, the assembly of the cross shaft, journal sleeve, and universal joint fork is a core process, and its assembly accuracy and efficiency directly affect the overall performance and production capacity of the universal joint. Currently, significant technical bottlenecks still exist in the industry regarding this process, mainly in the following two aspects:
[0003] On the one hand, traditional universal joint assembly relies heavily on manual labor or semi-automatic equipment. During manual assembly, operators must precisely align the journal of the universal joint cross shaft, the mounting hole of the universal joint fork, and the journal sleeve before pushing the journal sleeve to complete the connection. Even with semi-automatic equipment, manual assistance is still required to adjust the component positions to ensure alignment. Because universal joint components require high dimensional accuracy, manual alignment is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also prone to human error leading to alignment deviations, thus affecting assembly quality. Furthermore, it significantly limits overall assembly efficiency, making it difficult to meet the demands of large-scale production.
[0004] On the other hand, existing assembly equipment has poor versatility. Different models of universal joint cross shafts differ in weight, journal dimensions, and the mounting hole positions of the universal joint forks. When switching assembly models, the positional parameters of the support structure and pushing mechanism on the equipment must be manually adjusted to adapt to the assembly requirements of the new model component. This process not only requires professional operators and is time-consuming, but is also prone to assembly accuracy issues due to parameter setting deviations. This results in the equipment being unable to quickly respond to the flexible production needs of multiple universal joint models, further increasing production scheduling and time costs.
[0005] In summary, the current field of universal joint assembly urgently needs an automated assembly device that can achieve automatic and precise alignment of components, adapt to multiple models without frequent manual adjustments, and effectively improve assembly efficiency and accuracy, in order to solve the technical problems of low efficiency and poor equipment versatility of manual alignment. Summary of the Invention
[0006] (a) Technical problems to be solved
[0007] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a universal joint cross-axis gravity recognition assembly robot, which has the advantages of enabling automatic and precise alignment of parts, adapting to multiple models without frequent manual adjustments, and effectively improving assembly efficiency and accuracy. It solves the problems of time-consuming and laborious manual alignment of parts in current universal joint assembly, which is prone to errors, and the poor equipment versatility that requires frequent manual adjustments to model adaptation parameters.
[0008] (II) Technical Solution
[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0010] A gravity-based assembly robot for universal joint cross shafts includes an assembly platform. The assembly platform is equipped with: a cross shaft positioning mechanism, comprising a journal support plate and a cross shaft lifting plate. The journal support plate supports the journal of the universal joint cross shaft and is fixed to the top of the lifting plate, while the bottom of the lifting plate is slidably connected to the interior of the assembly platform; a fork fixing mechanism, which has a fork clamping seat for fixing the universal joint fork; and a journal sleeve pressing mechanism, with two journal sleeve pressing mechanisms symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the fork fixing mechanism, which can slide left and right on the assembly platform. Each journal sleeve pressing mechanism is fixed with a horizontal pushing cylinder, which is slidably connected to a horizontal pushing rod. The horizontal pushing rod can push the journal sleeve to slide along a sleeve guide groove, with the end of the sleeve guide groove aligned with the mounting hole of the universal joint fork.
[0011] Preferably, the journal support plates of the cross shaft positioning mechanism are two symmetrically arranged front and rear, and each journal support plate is equipped with a journal arc-shaped support for supporting the cross shaft journal. The cross shaft positioning mechanism also includes a lifting control structure and a gravity sensing device disposed below the journal support plates. The lifting control structure includes a rack and pinion structure composed of a cross shaft lifting plate, a gear, and a lifting drive motor. The cross shaft lifting plate is provided with racks that mesh with the gear. The shaft of the gear is directly or indirectly connected to the output shaft of the lifting drive motor. The lifting drive motor can drive the gear to rotate and drive the cross shaft lifting plate to rise and fall. The gravity sensing device is installed on the gear or the lifting drive motor and is used to sense the weight of the universal joint cross shaft at the top of the journal support plate.
[0012] Preferably, the gear is provided with fixed gear positioning plates at both ends, the fixed gear positioning plates are fixed on the assembly table, and the fixed gear positioning plates are used to support the rotating shafts on both sides of the gear. The end of the lifting drive motor away from the output shaft is provided with a motor fixing plate, the motor fixing plate is fixed on the assembly table, and the motor fixing plate is used to support the lifting drive motor.
[0013] Preferably, the gravity sensing device is a pin-type pressure sensor, which is set at the positions where the gear shaft is connected to the fixed gear positioning plate at both ends, and is used to sense the magnitude of the downward force received by the gear from the cross shaft lifting plate when the gear is stationary.
[0014] Preferably, the gravity sensing device is a torque sensor installed in the lifting drive motor, which determines the gravity of the universal joint cross shaft by detecting the magnitude of the torque on the gear.
[0015] Preferably, the horizontal push rod has a push rod end for moving the journal sleeve. The push rod end has a journal positioning pin return spring and a spring bearing plate inside. One side of the spring bearing plate rests on the journal positioning pin return spring, and the other side has a journal positioning pin. The journal positioning pin passes through the push rod end. The journal sleeve has a through hole at the position of the journal positioning pin, so that the journal positioning pin passes through the journal sleeve.
[0016] The cross shaft journal has a journal positioning groove at its central axis. During installation, the journal positioning pin is aligned with the journal positioning groove. The edge of the journal positioning groove is chamfered. The journal positioning pin is inserted into the journal positioning groove to complete the positioning, thereby allowing the journal sleeve to be accurately fitted onto the outside of the cross shaft journal.
[0017] Preferably, the fork fixing mechanism is further fixed with a vertical drive cylinder below the assembly platform. The vertical drive cylinder is provided with a slidably connected vertical transmission push rod. The top of the vertical transmission push rod is fixed below the fork clamping seat, and the lifting and lowering of the fork clamping seat is controlled by the vertical transmission push rod.
[0018] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a universal joint cross-axis gravity recognition assembly robot, which has the following advantages:
[0020] 1. This device uses a fork fixing mechanism to fix the universal joint fork, and places the universal joint cross shaft on the journal arc support for positioning, so that the cross shaft journal and the through hole of the universal joint fork are precisely aligned. Then, a horizontal push rod is used to push the journal sleeve along the sleeve guide groove into the through hole and fit on the outside of the cross shaft journal, completing the assembly of a single universal joint fork. Subsequently, only the universal joint fork needs to be replaced and the operation repeated to complete the assembly of another pair of cross shaft journals. There is no need for manual alignment of the journal sleeve, through hole and cross shaft journal, which greatly shortens the alignment time and effectively improves the assembly efficiency.
[0021] 2. The device uses a gravity sensor in the cross shaft positioning mechanism to detect the weight of the universal joint cross shaft. Based on the weight, it matches the corresponding cross shaft model in the database. Then, the lifting control structure drives the cross shaft lifting plate to rise and fall. Simultaneously, in conjunction with related structures in the fork fixing mechanism, the fork clamping seat rises and falls, ensuring precise alignment of the central axis of the cross shaft journal with the central axis of the universal joint fork through hole and the sleeve guide groove. This eliminates the need for manual adjustment of components to fit different models, enabling automated assembly of various models of universal joint cross shafts and universal joint forks, thus improving the device's versatility and adaptability.
[0022] 3. This universal joint cross-axis gravity recognition assembly robot has a push rod end at the end of the horizontal push rod. Inside the push rod end, there is a journal positioning pin return spring and a spring bearing plate. One side of the spring bearing plate rests on the journal positioning pin return spring, and the other side has a journal positioning pin. The journal positioning pin passes through the push rod end. The journal sleeve has a through hole at the position corresponding to the journal positioning pin, so that the journal positioning pin passes through the journal sleeve. A journal positioning groove is provided at the central axis of the cross-axis journal. During installation, the journal positioning pin is aligned with the journal positioning groove. The edge of the journal positioning groove is chamfered. The journal positioning pin is inserted into the journal positioning groove to complete the positioning, so that the journal sleeve is accurately fitted onto the outside of the cross-axis journal. Under the action of the journal positioning pin return spring, the universal joint cross-axis automatically adjusts to the middle position, reducing installation errors. Attached Figure Description
