Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of shock absorber bearings, and particularly to a sealing ring assembly device for automotive shock absorber bearings. Background Technology

[0002] Automotive shock absorber bearings are generally flat bearings, also known as pressure bearings. This support, combined with the steering knuckle, also serves as the pivot point for left and right steering rotation. The flat bearing is located at the top of the shock absorber, between the spring and the top mount of the shock absorber. It must withstand vertical pressure while still being able to rotate freely. Current shock absorber bearings require the installation of sealing rings in the upper groove and the flipped lower groove. Workers need to slip the upper sealing ring onto a tapered guide sleeve and use tools to press it into the upper groove of the shock absorber bearing. Then, the shock absorber bearing is flipped over (with the lower groove facing upwards), and the above process is repeated to press the lower sealing ring into the lower groove of the shock absorber bearing. This increases the labor intensity of workers and is inefficient. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a sealing ring assembly device for automotive shock absorber bearings, which can automatically press the upper sealing ring into the upper groove of the shock absorber bearing, rotate and move the shock absorber bearing into place, and press the lower sealing ring into the lower groove of the shock absorber bearing, thereby automatically completing the assembly of the upper and lower sealing rings and improving efficiency.

[0004] This invention provides a sealing ring assembly device for automotive shock absorber bearings, including a worktable and a gripper cylinder. A support is mounted on the worktable, and a first conical guide sleeve and a second conical guide sleeve are respectively mounted on the left and right sides of the support. A feeding plate is mounted above both the first and second conical guide sleeves, and a first mounting barrel corresponding to the first conical guide sleeve and a second mounting barrel corresponding to the second conical guide sleeve are respectively mounted above the feeding plate. A rotating component driven by a servo motor is rotatably mounted in the middle of the support. Lifting components are symmetrically mounted on the left and right sides of the support. The rear of the worktable... A lateral tilting assembly connected to the gripper cylinder is provided on the side. When the rotating component rotates, it first drives the first mounting bucket to descend via the lifting assembly on the left side. The first mounting bucket presses the upper sealing ring of the feeding plate into the shock absorber bearing along the first conical guide sleeve. The rotating component then drives the gripper cylinder and the shock absorber bearing to tilt and move laterally below the second conical guide sleeve via the lateral tilting assembly. The rotating component then drives the second mounting bucket to descend via the lifting assembly on the right side. The second mounting bucket presses the lower sealing ring of the feeding plate into the shock absorber bearing along the second conical guide sleeve.

[0005] Furthermore, the rear end of the feeding plate is provided with a discharge hole that allows the first mounting barrel and the second mounting barrel to pass through, and support plates are symmetrically twisted to the left and right sides of the discharge hole.

[0006] Furthermore, the rotating component consists of a central rotating column connecting top blocks on the left and right sides. A first toothed pulley is coaxially arranged on the rotating column, and a second toothed pulley is keyed to the output shaft of the servo motor. The first toothed pulley and the second toothed pulley are connected by a toothed belt. A guide groove is provided on the rotating column, and the guide groove consists of symmetrical inclined sections connecting the left and right longitudinal sections on the left and right sides.

[0007] Furthermore, the lifting assembly includes a first rack, a second rack, and a guide post that are slidably mounted on the bracket. The guide post is connected to the first mounting barrel and the second mounting barrel. The first rack can be lifted by the top block. A first gear meshes on the first rack. A second gear is coaxially connected to the rear side of the first gear. The second gear meshes with the second rack. The second rack and the guide post are connected by a fixing plate. A first compression spring connecting the fixing plate and the bracket is sleeved on the guide post.

[0008] Furthermore, the first rack consists of an upper vertical segment connected to a lower horizontal segment.

[0009] Furthermore, the transverse tilting assembly includes a lever that rotates on the bracket, a guide member is transversely arranged on the rear side of the worktable, a slide rail is provided on the bracket, a first slide post that slides in the guide groove is slidably mounted on the slide rail, a fixed shaft that connects to the gripper cylinder is slidably mounted on the guide member, a second slide post is coaxially connected to the rear end of the fixed shaft, a locking gear that cooperates with the guide member is keyed on the fixed shaft, a lever is rotatably arranged in the middle of the bracket, and a lever groove is opened on both the upper and lower sides of the lever, the first slide post and the second slide post are respectively slidably mounted in the upper and lower sides of the lever groove.

[0010] Furthermore, the guide member is composed of a rear horizontal bar connected to a front guide frame. The middle of the horizontal bar is provided with partial teeth for turning the locking gear. The fixed shaft slides left and right on the guide frame, and the locking gear is locked to the horizontal bar.

[0011] Furthermore, the bracket is symmetrically provided with frame sleeve assemblies on its left and right sides. Each frame sleeve assembly includes a symmetrically arranged support member and a guide rod. The support member is connected to the first mounting bucket and the second mounting bucket. The guide rod is symmetrically fitted with frame blocks that can be opened by the support member. The guide rod is fitted with a second compression spring that connects the bracket and the frame blocks. The guide rod is provided with a stop post in the middle that allows the frame blocks to abut against it. Both the first conical guide sleeve and the second conical guide sleeve are supported by the two frame blocks.

[0012] Furthermore, the upper ends of the first conical guide sleeve and the second conical guide sleeve are each provided with an annular groove for accommodating the support block and an annular inclined groove located above the annular groove.

[0013] Furthermore, a first clearance groove is provided in the middle of the rear end of the workbench to avoid the supporting member and the gripper cylinder, and a second clearance groove is provided on both the left and right sides of the workbench to avoid the supporting member.

[0014] The advantages of this invention are: it can automatically press the upper sealing ring into the upper groove of the shock absorber bearing, the shock absorber bearing flips and moves laterally into place, pressing the lower sealing ring into the lower groove of the shock absorber bearing, thereby automatically completing the assembly of the upper and lower sealing rings and improving efficiency; the last sealing ring is supported by the support plate, the descending mounting barrel presses down on the sealing ring and pushes the support plate open, the sealing ring and mounting barrel pass through the discharge hole, and subsequent sealing rings are blocked by the mounting barrel; the servo motor drives the rotating component to rotate through the first toothed pulley, and when the first sliding column slides between the left and right longitudinal sections, the lateral tilting assembly remains stationary, and the top block lifts up. The first rack of the lifting assembly, with its inclined section, drives the first sliding column to slide from the left longitudinal section to the right longitudinal section. The lateral tilting assembly, along with the gripper cylinder and shock absorber bearing, tilts and moves laterally. The top block of the rotating component lifts the first rack, which drives the first gear to rotate. The first gear drives the second gear to rotate, and the second gear drives the second rack to descend. The second rack, along with the mounting bucket, descends, thereby pressing the sealing ring into the shock absorber bearing. After the top block disengages from the first rack, the mounting bucket, guide column, and second rack rise and reset under the action of the first compression spring, while the first rack descends and resets. The inclined section of the guide groove drives the first sliding column... As the slide proceeds from the left longitudinal section to the right longitudinal section, the first sliding column drives the lever to rotate via the upper groove. The lever, through the lower groove, drives the second sliding column, along with the locking gear and shock absorber bearing, to move to the right. The locking gear is locked in place by the crossbar, with some teeth meshing between the locking gear and the crossbar. These teeth drive the locking gear, along with the gripper cylinder and shock absorber bearing, to rotate. The locking gear continues to be locked by the crossbar and moves to the right. The shock absorber bearing moves to the right and is positioned below the second tapered guide sleeve. The inclined section of the guide column drives the first sliding column to slide along the right longitudinal section to the left longitudinal section and reset, thus resetting all components. The supporting components, which descend with the installation bucket, first open the frame blocks. Under the influence of gravity, the tapered guide sleeve falls into the shock absorber bearing. The support block avoids the descending mounting barrel. After the sealing ring is pressed in, the mounting barrel and the support piece rise and reset. Under the action of the second compression spring, the support block moves towards the center and resets. The support block acts on the annular inclined groove, causing the tapered guide sleeve to rise and the support block to enter the annular groove. The support block supports the tapered guide sleeve, and the tapered guide sleeve disengages from the shock absorber sealing ring. The gripper cylinder and the gripped shock absorber bearing will flip in the middle of the worktable. The first clearance groove can avoid the descending support piece and the flipped gripper cylinder and shock absorber bearing. The second clearance groove can avoid the descending support piece.

[0031] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] See Figures 1 to 16This invention provides a sealing ring assembly device for automotive shock absorber bearings, comprising a worktable 1 and a gripper cylinder 10. A support is mounted on the worktable 1, and a first conical guide sleeve 4 and a second conical guide sleeve 5 are respectively mounted on the left and right sides of the support. A feeding plate 2 is mounted above both the first and second conical guide sleeves 4 and 5, respectively. Above the feeding plate 2 are a first mounting barrel 7 corresponding to the first conical guide sleeve 4 and a second mounting barrel 8 corresponding to the second conical guide sleeve 5, respectively. A loading / unloading mechanism can be added to the worktable. The loading / unloading mechanism includes a conveyor belt 17 driven by a motor and located at the front of the worktable. Partitions for guiding the shock absorber bearings are mounted on both the left and right sides of the conveyor belt 17. The front of the conveyor belt 17... The worktable 1 is equipped with a feeding cylinder 18 for pushing the shock absorber bearing below the first conical guide sleeve 4. The rear end of the worktable 1 is equipped with a discharging cylinder 19 for pushing the shock absorber bearing into the conveyor belt 17. The feeding cylinder pushes the first shock absorber bearing on the left side of the conveyor belt below the first conical guide sleeve. The gripper cylinder clamps the shock absorber bearing. After the sealing ring is pressed in on the right side, the gripper cylinder releases the shock absorber bearing, and the discharging cylinder pushes the shock absorber bearing into the right side of the conveyor belt. The rear end of the feeding plate 2 has a discharging hole that can accommodate the first mounting barrel 7 and the second mounting barrel 8. Support plates 3 are symmetrically twisted on the left and right sides of the discharging hole. A torsion spring is provided between the support plate and the discharging hole. The sealing ring of the feeding plate is conveyed by the vibrating plate. The last sealing ring is supported by the support plate. The descending installation barrel presses down on the sealing ring and pushes the support plate aside. The sealing ring and installation barrel pass through the discharge hole. Subsequent sealing rings are blocked by the installation barrel. After the sealing ring leaves the support plate, it is fitted into the conical guide sleeve. The installation barrel presses the sealing ring into the shock absorber bearing along the conical guide sleeve. When the split leaves of the installation barrel are opened, the unsplit part on the upper side of the installation barrel has entered the discharge hole. The opened split leaves will not affect the feeding plate. A rotating component 12 driven by a servo motor 11 is rotatably set in the middle of the bracket. Lifting components 13 are symmetrically set on the left and right sides of the bracket 1. A transverse tilting component 14 connected to the gripper cylinder 10 is set on the rear side of the worktable 1. The gripper cylinder grips the shock absorber bearing. When the shock absorber bearing is in operation, the gripper is positioned in the middle of the shock absorber bearing. This ensures that when the shock absorber bearing is flipped over and moved laterally to the right, it will not be blocked by the first clearance groove of the worktable. When the rotating component 12 rotates, it first drives the first mounting barrel 7 to descend via the left lifting assembly 13. The first mounting barrel 7 presses the upper sealing ring of the feeding plate 2 into the shock absorber bearing along the first conical guide sleeve 4. Then, the rotating component 12 drives the gripper cylinder 10 and the shock absorber bearing to flip and move laterally to the bottom of the second conical guide sleeve 5 via the transverse flipping assembly 14. The rotating component 12 then drives the second mounting barrel 8 to descend via the right lifting assembly 13. The second mounting barrel 8 presses the lower sealing ring of the feeding plate 2 into the shock absorber bearing along the second conical guide sleeve 5.The shock absorber bearing is placed below the first tapered guide sleeve and clamped by the gripper cylinder. The first tapered guide sleeve is then placed on the shock absorber bearing. A servo motor drives the rotating component to rotate. The rotating component first lowers the first mounting barrel via the left lifting assembly. The first mounting barrel presses the upper sealing ring of the left feeding plate into the shock absorber bearing along the first tapered guide sleeve. The upper sealing ring is pressed into the upper groove on the shock absorber bearing. The left lifting assembly then drives the first mounting barrel to rise and reset. The rotating component then drives the gripper cylinder and the shock absorber bearing to flip and move laterally to the second tapered guide sleeve via the lateral tilting assembly. The rotating component moves horizontally to position the second tapered guide sleeve on the shock absorber bearing. The rotating component then lowers the second mounting barrel via the right-side lifting assembly. The second mounting barrel presses the lower sealing ring of the right-side feeding plate into the shock absorber bearing along the second tapered guide sleeve. The lower sealing ring is pressed into the lower groove below the shock absorber bearing. The rotating component then moves the second mounting barrel upward to reset via the right-side lifting assembly. The gripper cylinder releases the shock absorber bearing. After removing the shock absorber bearing, the rotating component then drives the gripper cylinder to flip and move horizontally to the left to reset via the horizontal rotation and flipping assembly, automatically completing the assembly of the upper and lower sealing rings of the shock absorber bearing.

[0033] See Figure 1 , Figure 15 The rotating component 12 is composed of a central rotating column 12.1 connected to top blocks 12.4 on both sides. A first toothed pulley 12.2 is coaxially arranged on the rotating column 12.1. A second toothed pulley is keyed to the output shaft of the servo motor 11. The first toothed pulley 12.2 and the second toothed pulley are connected by a toothed belt. A guide groove 12.3 is provided on the rotating column 12.1. The guide groove 12.3 is composed of symmetrical inclined sections connecting the left and right longitudinal sections on both sides. The top blocks on the left and right sides face opposite directions, corresponding to the left and right longitudinal sections respectively. The servo motor drives the rotating component to rotate through the first toothed pulley. When the first sliding column slides on the left longitudinal section, the transverse tilting assembly remains stationary. The left top block lifts the first rack of the left lifting assembly. The tilting section drives the first sliding column to slide from the left longitudinal section to the right longitudinal section. The transverse tilting assembly, along with the gripper cylinder and shock absorber bearing, tilts and moves laterally to below the second conical guide sleeve. When the first sliding column slides on the right longitudinal section, the transverse tilting assembly remains stationary. The right top block lifts the first rack of the right lifting assembly. The tilting section drives the first sliding column to slide from the right longitudinal section to the left longitudinal section. The transverse tilting assembly, along with the gripper cylinder, tilts and moves laterally to below the first conical guide sleeve to reset.

[0034] The lifting assembly 13 includes a first rack 13.1, a second rack 13.4, and a guide post 13.5 that are mounted on the bracket and move up and down. The guide post 13.5 is connected to the first mounting barrel 7 and the second mounting barrel 8. The first rack 13.1 can be lifted by the top block 12.4. A first gear 13.2 meshes on the first rack 13.1. A second gear 13.3 is coaxially connected to the rear side of the first gear 13.2. The second gear 13.3 meshes with the second rack 13.4. The second rack 13.4 and the guide post 13.5 are connected by a fixing plate. A first compression spring connecting the fixing plate and the bracket is sleeved on the guide post 13.5. When the rotating part rotates, the top block of the rotating part pushes up the first rack, the first rack drives the first gear to rotate, the first gear drives the second gear to rotate, the second gear drives the second rack to descend, the second rack carries the mounting bucket to descend, thereby pressing the sealing ring into the shock absorber bearing. After the top block disengages from the first rack, the mounting bucket, guide post and second rack rise to reset under the action of the first compression spring, and the first rack descends to reset.

[0035] The first rack 13.1 consists of an upper vertical section connected to a lower horizontal section. A top block acts on the horizontal section to lift the first rack, while the vertical section slides up and down to fit against the support.

[0036] The transverse tilting assembly 14 includes a lever 14.3 that rotates on the support. A guide 14.6 is transversely arranged on the rear side of the worktable 1. A slide rail 14.2 is provided on the support 1. A first slide post 14.1 that slides into the guide groove 12.3 is slidably mounted on the slide rail 14.2. A fixed shaft that connects to the gripper cylinder 10 is slidably mounted on the guide 14.6. A second slide post 14.4 is coaxially connected to the rear end of the fixed shaft. A keyed connection is made to the guide 14.6. The locking gear 14.5 is matched with the bracket. A lever 14.3 is rotatably set in the middle of the bracket. The lever 14.3 has a slot on both the upper and lower sides. The first sliding column 14.1 and the second sliding column 14.4 are respectively slidably fitted into the slots on the upper and lower sides. The guide member 14.6 is composed of a horizontal bar on the rear side connected to a guide frame on the front side. The middle of the horizontal bar is provided with partial teeth for turning the locking gear 14.5. The fixed shaft is slidably fitted into the guide frame to move left and right. The locking gear 14.5 is locked to the horizontal bar. The inclined section of the guide groove drives the first sliding column to slide from the left longitudinal section to the right longitudinal section. The first sliding column drives the lever to rotate through the upper groove. The lever drives the second sliding column, along with the locking gear, fixed shaft, gripper cylinder, and shock absorber bearing, to move to the right through the lower groove. The locking gear is locked in place by the crossbar. Part of the teeth of the locking gear and the crossbar mesh. Part of the teeth drive the locking gear, along with the gripper cylinder and shock absorber bearing, to rotate. The locking gear continues to be locked by the crossbar and moves to the right. The shock absorber bearing moves to the right and is below the second conical guide sleeve. The first sliding column slides along the right longitudinal section. The second mounting bucket descends to press in the lower sealing ring. The gripper cylinder releases the shock absorber bearing. The unloading cylinder pushes the shock absorber bearing onto the conveyor belt. Then, the inclined section of the guide column drives the first sliding column to slide along the right longitudinal section to the left longitudinal section to reset. All components are reset.

[0037] See Figure 2 , Figure 16The bracket has symmetrically arranged frame sleeve assemblies on its left and right sides. The frame sleeve assemblies include symmetrically arranged support members 9 and guide rods 16. The bottom of the support members has symmetrically arranged inclined surfaces. The support members 9 are connected to the first mounting barrel 7 and the second mounting barrel 8. The guide rods 16 are symmetrically slidably fitted with frame blocks 6 that can be opened by the support members 9. The guide rods 16 are fitted with a second compression spring that connects the bracket and the frame blocks 6. The middle of the guide rods 16 is provided with a stop post that accommodates the frame blocks 6. The first conical guide sleeve 4 and the second conical guide sleeve 5 are both supported by two frame blocks 6. The upper ends of the first conical guide sleeve 4 and the second conical guide sleeve 5 are provided with an annular groove for accommodating the frame blocks 6 and an annular inclined groove located above the annular groove. As the installation barrel descends, the support component first opens the frame block. The tapered guide sleeve falls vertically under gravity (the tapered guide sleeve is very close to the shock absorber bearing on the worktable). The bottom of the tapered guide sleeve is equipped with a positioning pin that falls into the center hole of the shock absorber bearing. The bottom edge of the positioning pin is equipped with a rounded corner for guidance. The frame block avoids the descending installation barrel. After the sealing ring is pressed in, the installation barrel and the support component rise and reset. The frame block moves towards the center and resets under the action of the second compression spring. The frame block acts on the annular inclined groove, causing the tapered guide sleeve to rise and the frame block to enter the annular groove. The frame block supports the tapered guide sleeve, and the tapered guide sleeve disengages from the shock absorber sealing ring.

[0038] A first clearance groove 15 is provided in the middle of the rear end of the worktable 1 to avoid the supporting member 9 and the gripper cylinder 10. Second clearance grooves are provided on both the left and right sides of the worktable 1 to avoid the supporting member 9. The gripper cylinder and the damper bearing it holds will flip in the middle of the worktable. The first clearance groove can avoid the descending supporting member and the flipped gripper cylinder and damper bearing, and the second clearance groove can avoid the descending supporting member.

[0039] The specific workflow of this invention is as follows: The shock absorber bearing is delivered below the first tapered guide sleeve and clamped by a gripper cylinder, as shown below. Figure 7 , 8 As shown, the servo motor drives the rotating component to rotate, the first sliding column slides in the left longitudinal section, the lever remains stationary, the left side top block of the rotating component pushes up the left side first rack, the first rack drives the first gear to rotate, the first gear drives the second gear to rotate, the second gear drives the second rack to descend, the second rack carries the first mounting barrel to descend, the first mounting barrel presses down on the upper sealing ring and pushes open the support plate, the subsequent upper sealing ring is blocked by the mounting barrel, after the upper sealing ring leaves the support plate, it is fitted into the conical guide sleeve (even if the upper sealing ring falls onto the frame first). The block is also fitted onto the tapered guide sleeve. As the block moves outward, the upper sealing ring will also be fitted onto the tapered guide sleeve. The first mounting barrel, along with the support component that descends with the mounting barrel, first opens the block. The tapered guide sleeve falls vertically under gravity (the tapered guide sleeve is very close to the shock absorber bearing on the worktable). The bottom of the tapered guide sleeve is equipped with a positioning pin that falls into the center hole of the shock absorber bearing. The bottom edge of the positioning pin is equipped with a rounded corner for guidance. The block avoids the descending mounting barrel, and the first mounting barrel presses the upper sealing ring into the shock absorber bearing. Figure 9 As shown, the left top block then disengages from the first rack, and the mounting bucket, support, guide post, and second rack rise and reset under the action of the first compression spring. The first rack descends and resets, and the support block moves towards the center and resets under the action of the second compression spring. The support block acts on the annular inclined groove, causing the conical guide sleeve to rise and the support block to enter the annular groove. The support block supports the conical guide sleeve, which disengages from the shock absorber seal. Then, the inclined section of the guide groove drives the first sliding column to slide from the left longitudinal section to the right longitudinal section. The first sliding column drives the lever to rotate through the upper groove, and the lever drives the second sliding column, along with the locking gear, fixed shaft, gripper cylinder, and shock absorber bearing, to move to the right through the lower groove. The locking gear is locked in place by the crossbar, and the locking gear engages with a portion of the teeth in the middle of the crossbar. This portion of the teeth drives the locking gear, along with the gripper cylinder and shock absorber bearing, to rotate. Figure 10 As shown, the locking gear continues to be locked by the crossbar and moves to the right, and the shock absorber bearing moves to the right below the second tapered guide sleeve, as... Figure 11 As shown, the first sliding column slides along the right longitudinal section. Following the same steps as on the left side, the second mounting bucket descends to press in the lower sealing ring. The gripper cylinder releases the shock absorber bearing, and the unloading cylinder pushes the shock absorber bearing onto the conveyor belt. Then, the inclined section of the guide column drives the first sliding column to slide along the right longitudinal section to the left longitudinal section to reset. All components are reset, and the assembly of the upper and lower sealing rings of the shock absorber bearing is automatically completed.

[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
