[0020] Bearing pressure measurement operation: After bearing production is completed, workers need to perform measurement operations. First, workers transport the ordinary bearings 4 and ball bearings 5 ​​to be measured to the production workshop. Then, they manually place the ordinary bearings 4 and ball bearings 5 ​​sequentially on the first conveyor table 12. Next, workers turn on the workshop power. At this time, the multi-functional measuring table 1 starts, the equipment program starts, and the equipment program controls the first conveyor table 12, the robotic arm 22, and the air compressor 23 to start. The equipment program uses camera 14 to detect the type and size of the bearings and compares them with the set values. The equipment program sets the bearing size value range to X1~X2, where X1 is the minimum and X2 is the maximum, which can be adjusted according to specific needs. The clamping value range of the third telescopic cylinder 272 is Y0~Y3, where Y0 is the minimum and Y3 is the maximum, which can be adjusted according to specific needs. The force feedback value range of the two sets of pressure sensors is W1. When the equipment program... When the size of the bearing is detected as X1, the equipment program determines that the bearing size is too small. The equipment program first controls the first conveyor 12 to stop, the third telescopic cylinder 272 to start, the clamping value is Y3, and the robotic arm 22 to start. Then, the equipment program detects the position of the bearing through the camera 14 and controls the robotic arm 22 to move the first mounting base 24 to one side of the bearing, so that the two sets of grippers fit against the outer sides of the bearing. Then, the equipment program controls the clamping value of the third telescopic cylinder 272 to be adjusted to Y1. At this time, the equipment program detects whether the force feedback value of the bearing is within the W1 range through two sets of pressure sensors. If it is not within the W1 range, the equipment program determines that the bearing has a production defect or crack. The equipment program controls the robotic arm 22 to move and put the defective bearing into the waste collection box 122 for centralized collection. If it is within the W1 range, the equipment program determines that the outer force of the bearing is qualified, and the equipment program controls the next operation. When the equipment program detects that the bearing size is X2, it determines that the bearing size is too large. The equipment program first controls the clamping value of the third telescopic cylinder 272 to be adjusted to Y3, and the robotic arm 22 is started. Then, the equipment program detects the position of the bearing through the camera 14 and controls the robotic arm 22 to move the first mounting seat 24 to one side of the bearing, so that the two sets of grippers are attached to the outer sides of the bearing. Then, the equipment program controls the clamping value of the third telescopic cylinder 272 to be adjusted to Y2. At this time, the equipment program detects whether the force feedback value of the bearing is within the W1 range through the two sets of pressure sensors. If it is not within the W1 range, the equipment program determines that the bearing has a production defect or crack. The equipment program controls the robotic arm 22 to move and put the defective bearing into the waste collection box 122 for centralized collection. If it is within the W1 range, the equipment program determines that the outer force of the bearing is qualified, and the equipment program controls the next operation. After completing the above operations, the equipment program controls the inner ring pressure measurement operation. When the equipment program detects that the bearing size value is X1, the equipment program controls the third telescopic cylinder 272 to start, the clamping value is Y3, the robotic arm 22 starts, and then the equipment program detects the bearing position through the camera 14 and controls the robotic arm 22 to move the first mounting seat 24 to the inner ring side of the bearing, so that the first gripper 273 is attached to the inner ring side of the bearing and the second gripper 275 is attached to the outer ring end of the bearing. Then the equipment program controls the clamping value of the third telescopic cylinder 272 to be adjusted to Y0. At this time, the equipment program detects whether the force feedback value of the bearing is within the W1 range through two sets of pressure sensors. If it is not within the W1 range, the equipment program determines that the bearing has a production defect or crack. The equipment program controls the robotic arm 22 to move and put the defective bearing into the waste collection box 122 for centralized collection. If it is within the W1 range, the equipment program determines that the inner ring of the bearing is qualified for force, and the equipment program controls the next operation. By using the robotic arm 22, the third telescopic cylinder 272, two sets of grippers, two sets of pressure sensors, and the equipment program in conjunction with each other, pressure measurement operations can be performed on the outer rings of bearings of different sizes. The clamping force during measurement can be adjusted according to the bearing size. The measurement function is versatile and can effectively improve the efficiency of pressure measurement. At the same time, pressure measurement operations can be performed on the inner rings of bearings, reducing the tediousness of measurement. In addition, defective bearings can be automatically sorted, eliminating the need for manual sorting by staff and reducing the burden on staff.

[0021] Bearing maintenance procedures: After completing the above operations, the equipment program controls the bearing maintenance operation. The equipment program detects the type of bearing through the camera 14. If the bearing is a common bearing 4, the equipment program does not operate and prepares to proceed to the next operation. If the bearing is a ball bearing 5, the equipment program controls the bearing maintenance operation. The equipment program first controls the first telescopic cylinder 25 to extend. The first telescopic cylinder 25 drives the second mounting seat 251 to move outward. When the second mounting seat 251 moves above the cleaning tank 282, the equipment program controls the first telescopic cylinder 25 to stop. Then, the equipment program controls the two sets of second telescopic cylinders 26 to extend. The two sets of second telescopic cylinders 26 drive the third mounting seat 261 to move downward. When the two sets of electric sponge rollers 264 on the third mounting seat 261 move into the cleaning tank 282, the equipment program controls the two sets of second telescopic cylinders 26 to stop. The pump built into the maintenance liquid storage tank 28 is turned on, and the maintenance liquid is sprayed from the cleaning nozzle 281 onto the surface of the two sets of electric sponge rollers 264 for wetting. After wetting, the equipment program controls the two sets of second telescopic cylinders 26 to retract, and the two sets of second telescopic cylinders 26 drive the third mounting base 261 to move upward. When the two sets of electric sponge rollers 264 on the third mounting base 261 move outside the cleaning tank 282, the equipment program controls the two sets of second telescopic cylinders 26 to stop, and the first telescopic cylinder 25 extends. The first telescopic cylinder 25 drives the second mounting base 251 to move outward. When the second mounting base 251 moves above the ball bearing 5, the equipment program controls the first telescopic cylinder 25 to stop, and then the equipment program controls the two sets of second telescopic cylinders 26 to extend. Two sets of second telescopic cylinders 26 drive the third mounting base 261 to move downwards. During the movement, the equipment program detects the position of the two sets of electric sponge rollers 264 through the camera 14 and controls the electric slider 263 to move along the first moving slide rail 262, so that the position of the two sets of electric sponge rollers 264 corresponds to the position of the balls in the ball bearing 5. When the two sets of electric sponge rollers 264 are in contact with one side of the ball bearing 5, the equipment program controls the two sets of second telescopic cylinders 26 to stop. The equipment program sets the extension value range of the two sets of second telescopic cylinders 26 to be m1~m2. When the size of the ball bearing 5 is... At that time, the equipment program controls the extension value of the two sets of second telescopic cylinders 26 to m1. The two sets of second telescopic cylinders 26 extend outward and drive the two sets of electric sponge rollers 264 to fit tightly against the ball surface on the ball bearing 5. Then the equipment program controls the micro motor 265 to start. The micro motor 265 drives the two sets of electric sponge rollers 264 to rotate, fully applying the maintenance liquid to the ball surface, which is convenient for subsequent processing and conveying. When the size of the ball bearing 5 is X2, the equipment program controls the extension value of the two sets of second telescopic cylinders 26 to m2. The two sets of second telescopic cylinders 26 extend outward and drive the two sets of electric sponge rollers 264 to fit tightly against the ball surface on the ball bearing 5. At the same time, the extension value is increased so that the two sets of electric sponge rollers 264 and the ball squeeze each other, causing the maintenance fluid in the two sets of electric sponge rollers 264 to precipitate out, so that the maintenance fluid can fully lubricate the ball in the ball bearing 5. Then the equipment program controls the extension value of the two sets of second telescopic cylinders 26 to be adjusted to m1, the micro motor 265 starts, and the micro motor 265 drives the two sets of electric sponge rollers 264 to rotate, so that the maintenance fluid can be fully applied to the ball surface, which is convenient for subsequent processing and conveying. During the above operation, when the equipment program detects the signal value of the liquid level sensor 283, the equipment program does not need to control the above maintenance liquid spraying operation. It only needs to move the two sets of electric sponge rollers 264 to the cleaning tank 282 for adsorption operation, thereby reducing the consumption of maintenance liquid and reducing the cost of the factory. By using the camera 14, two sets of second telescopic cylinders 26, two sets of electric sponge rollers 264, and the equipment program in conjunction with the equipment, maintenance coating operations can be performed on different types of bearings. The depth of maintenance coating can be adjusted according to the size of the ball bearings 5. When maintaining the balls of small ball bearings 5, the rotation of the two sets of electric sponge rollers 264 is used to fully coat the ball surface with maintenance fluid, which is convenient for subsequent processing and conveying. When maintaining the balls of large ball bearings 5, the extension value of the two sets of second telescopic cylinders 26 is increased, so that the two sets of electric sponge rollers 264 and the balls are squeezed against each other, and the maintenance fluid in the two sets of electric sponge rollers 264 is released, so that the maintenance fluid can fully lubricate the balls in the ball bearings 5, improve maintenance efficiency, and avoid incomplete coating of maintenance fluid.

[0022] Bearing measurement and sorting operation: After completing the above operations, the equipment program controls the bearing measurement and sorting operation. The equipment program controls the second pneumatic push rod 33 to extend outward. The second pneumatic push rod 33 pushes the measured bearing into the measuring chamber 16. At this time, the equipment program performs secondary size measurement and counting operation on the bearing through the measuring device 131. After the measurement is completed, the equipment program performs sorting operation according to the different types of bearings. The equipment program sets the extension value of the first pneumatic push rod 32 to a1 and the speed values ​​to b1 and b2. When the equipment program detects that the bearing in this group is a common bearing 4, the equipment program controls the first pneumatic push rod 32 to start, with an extension value of a1 and a speed value of b2. The first pneumatic push rod 32 quickly pops out and hits the measured common bearing 4, causing it to move to the left. When the common bearing 4 comes into contact with the conveyor plate 18, the common bearing 4 will slide along the direction of the conveyor plate 18 to the first conveyor table 12 for subsequent conveying and collection operations. When the equipment program detects that the bearing in this group is ball bearing 5, the equipment program controls the first pneumatic push rod 32 to start, with an extension value of a1 and a speed value of b1. The first pneumatic push rod 32 slowly pops out and drives the measured ball bearing 5 to move to the left to the first mounting platform 17. After the first pneumatic push rod 32 finishes extending, the equipment program controls the third pneumatic push rod 34 to retract inward. During the retraction process, the third pneumatic push rod 34 brings the ball bearing 5 into the bottom of the first mounting platform 17, and then drops it down from the through hole of the measuring cavity 16 onto the second conveying platform 15. By using three sets of pneumatic push rods, two sets of conveyor tables, and conveyor plate 18 in conjunction with the equipment program, the type of the measured bearings can be detected and sorted, facilitating subsequent conveying and packaging by staff. This eliminates the need for manual sorting, reducing the workload of staff. The sorting method can be changed according to the type of bearing. When sorting ordinary bearings 4, the sorting speed can be increased to improve sorting efficiency, while when sorting ball bearings 5, the sorting speed can be reduced to decrease losses during the sorting process and lower rework costs for the factory.
