Detailed Implementation
[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.
[0021] The specific implementation of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0022] Please see Figures 1 to 11 This invention provides a bearing assembly fixture, which includes a support 1, a shelf 3 mounted on the support 1, and a hydraulic system 2 for pressing and assembling the bearing. The shelf 3 has a through hole at its center, and several first slide rails 31 arranged in a ring around the through hole are also provided on the side of the shelf 3. The first slide rails 31 are elongated, with their length direction radially along the through hole. The inner wall of the first slide rails 31 also has a first groove 32 along its length direction. The fixture also includes: Carrier positioning unit 4 and bearing positioning unit 5; The carrier positioning unit 4 consists of a first driving part 41 and several first fixing parts 42 arranged in a ring. The first driving part 41 drives each first fixing part 42 to move radially and positions the carrier on which the bearing is installed. The bearing positioning unit 5 is composed of a second driving part 51 and a second fixing part 52. The second driving part 51 drives the second fixing part 52 to move and positions the bearing so that the bearing center corresponds perfectly with the carrier center.
[0023] It should be noted that when assembling the bearing, the carrier is placed on the placement plate 3, and then the bearing is placed on the corresponding position on the carrier. Then, the carrier positioning unit 4 and the bearing positioning unit 5 are used to position the two respectively. Finally, the hydraulic system 2 is used to press the bearing to fix it on the carrier. The carrier positioning unit 4 and bearing positioning unit 5 can fix the carrier and bearing respectively by extrusion, so that they can be extruded by hydraulic system 2 in the future. The stability of the two is higher, and the bearing will not slip and fall or fly away, thus the safety is higher. At the same time, the carrier and bearing are limited to the state with the highest docking accuracy, so it is more convenient during extrusion and the processing quality is improved. In this embodiment, the carrier corresponding to the device needs to be a relatively regular structure, such as a ring.
[0024] In an embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The first drive unit 41 includes: The first motor 411 is mounted on the bracket 1, and the output end of the first motor 411 is connected to the drive sprocket 412. The adjustment disc 413 rotates at the lower end of the shelf 3. The upper end of the adjustment disc 413 has several annularly distributed second slides 414 that correspond one-to-one with the first slides 31. The second slides 414 are arc-shaped, with one end close to the center of the adjustment disc 413 and the other end close to the edge of the adjustment disc 413. Driven chain link 415 is fixed to the lower end of the adjusting plate 413, and a transmission chain 416 is also provided between the driven chain link 415 and the driving sprocket 412; The first fixing part 42 includes: The first slide block 421 slides inside the first slide rail 31, and the side of the first slide block 421 also has a first slide groove 32 adapted to the first slide rail 424. The transmission pin 422 is vertically fixed to the lower end of the first slide block 421, and the transmission pin 422 also extends into the interior of the second slide rail 414. The first pressure plate 423 is bolted to the first slide block 421 and is used to compress the carrier.
[0025] It should be noted that when the carrier positioning unit 4 is used to position the carrier, the first motor 411 drives the adjusting plate 413 to rotate through the sprocket and chain and other structures. The transmission pin 422 at the lower end of the first slide block 421 extends into the second slide rail 414 on the adjusting plate 413. Therefore, when the adjusting plate 413 rotates, it will exert a force on the transmission pin 422, which will drive the first slide block 421 to slide inside the first slide rail 31. When the first fixing parts 42 are brought together, the first pressure plate 423 can be used to squeeze the carrier and place the carrier in the most central position to achieve the positioning of the carrier. In the first fixing part 42, the first pressure plate 423 is in contact with the carrier. Therefore, the first pressure plate 423 itself will be worn. In order to facilitate the replacement of the first pressure plate 423, it is fixed to the first slide block 421 by bolts. Therefore, the first pressure plate 423 can be disassembled and installed to facilitate its replacement. To further improve the stability of the first slide block 421, a first slide rail 424 is provided on its side. The first slide rail 424 can be embedded in the first slide groove 32 on the inner side of the first slide rail 31, thus further limiting the first slide block 421, improving its stability, and making the user experience of the device better.
[0026] In an embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 The second drive unit 51 includes: The transmission ring 511 has a first tooth 512 on its inner circumference. There are several toothed rollers 514 arranged in a ring, and the toothed rollers 514 mesh with the first teeth 512 on the inner wall of the transmission ring 511. One of the toothed rollers 514 is also coaxially fixed to the output end of the second motor 513. There are several transmission plates 515, all of which are I-shaped, and each transmission plate 515 has a second tooth 516 that meshes with the toothed roller 514, and the transmission plate 515 is driven to move radially along the transmission ring 511 by the toothed roller 514. The second fixing part 52 includes: Mounting base 521 is fixed to one end of transmission plate 515. A second sliding groove 522 is added to one side of mounting base 521 near the edge, and a positioning groove 523 is added near the center. A screw 524 located inside the positioning groove 523 is also rotatably connected to mounting base 521. The second slide block 525 has a second slide rail 527 and a connecting seat 526 on one side that are adapted to the second slide groove 522 and the positioning groove 523. The screw 524 also passes through the connecting seat 526 and is threadedly connected to it. The second pressure plate 528 is also bolted to the other side of the second slide block 525.
[0027] It should be noted that in the bearing positioning unit 5, one of the toothed rollers 514 is installed at the output end of the second motor 513. Therefore, the second motor 513 can drive the toothed roller 514 to rotate. The toothed roller 514 is connected to the transmission ring 511 through the first tooth 512. When rotating, it can drive the transmission ring 511 to rotate, and then drive the remaining toothed rollers 514 to rotate. The length of the toothed roller 514 is greater than the height of the transmission ring 511. The transmission plate 515, located above the transmission ring 511, also meshes with the toothed roller 514 for transmission. Therefore, when the toothed roller 514 rotates, it can also drive the transmission plate 515 to move. The second fixing part 52 is installed at one end of the transmission plate 515. Therefore, when the transmission plate 515 moves, it can also drive the second fixing part 52 to move, thereby using the second fixing part 52 to squeeze the bearing and achieve the positioning of the bearing. In the second fixing part 52, a second pressure plate 528 is provided on one side of the second slide 525. The second pressure plate 528 has the same structure and the same installation method as the first pressure plate 423. Therefore, it can squeeze and fix the bearing, and at the same time facilitate replacement and maintenance. The connecting seat 526 in the second slide 525 is connected to the screw 524 for transmission. The screw 524 can drive the second slide 525 to move in the vertical direction, thereby adjusting the height of the second pressure plate 528 to ensure that the second pressure plate 528 can contact the bearing without contacting the carrier, thus achieving the fixation of the bearing. In the bearing positioning unit 5, the diameter of the transmission ring 511 is greater than the length of the shelf 3, and the transmission ring 511 can move to the outer side of the shelf 3, so that the entire shelf 3 can be displayed, thus not affecting the placement and retrieval of the workpiece, nor affecting the extrusion process.
[0028] In an embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 8 The bearing positioning unit 5 also includes several positioning frames 53 arranged in a ring around the center of the placement plate 3. The positioning frame 53 includes a foot plate 531 bolted to the side of the placement plate 3. A support plate 532 is fixed to one side of the foot plate 531. An annular limiting plate 533 is fixed to the other end of the support plate 532. The cross section of the limiting plate 533 is L-shaped. Several annularly distributed positioning openings 534 are also provided on the limiting plate 533. The transmission ring 511 rotates inside the limiting support plate 533, while the transmission plate 515 passes through the positioning port 534 and is slidably connected to it.
[0029] It should be noted that the positioning frame 53 is designed for the transmission ring 511 and the transmission plate 515. The various limiting plates 533 are arranged in a ring, and the transmission ring 511 rotates on each limiting plate 533. At the same time, the positioning port 534 is provided for the transmission plate 515 to pass through, which can also play a positioning role for the transmission plate 515, thereby ensuring the normal use of the entire device.
[0030] The operating procedure for this device is as follows: (1) Placement and positioning of the carrier; First, a regularly shaped carrier is placed on the placement plate 3, and then fixed by the carrier positioning unit 4. When the carrier is positioned by the carrier positioning unit 4, the first motor 411 drives the adjustment plate 413 to rotate through the sprocket and chain structure. The transmission pin 422 at the lower end of the first slide 421 extends into the second slide rail 414 on the adjustment plate 413. Therefore, when the adjustment plate 413 rotates, it will exert a force on the transmission pin 422, which will drive the first slide 421 to slide inside the first slide rail 31. When the first fixing parts 42 are brought together, the first pressure plate 423 can be used to squeeze the carrier and place the carrier in the most central position, thus achieving the positioning of the carrier. (2) Placement and positioning of bearings; The bearing is placed in the corresponding position on the carrier and fixed using the bearing positioning unit 5. When the bearing is fixed using the bearing positioning unit 5, one of the toothed rollers 514 is installed at the output end of the second motor 513, so the second motor 513 can drive the toothed roller 514 to rotate. The toothed roller 514 is connected to the transmission ring 511 through the first tooth 512. When it rotates, it can drive the transmission ring 511 to rotate, and then the transmission ring 511 drives the remaining toothed rollers 514 to rotate. The second fixing part 52 is installed at one end of the transmission plate 515. Therefore, when the transmission plate 515 moves, it can also drive the second fixing part 52 to move, thereby using the second fixing part 52 to squeeze the bearing and achieve the positioning of the bearing. In the second fixing part 52, a second pressure plate 528 is provided on one side of the second slide 525. The second pressure plate 528 has the same structure and installation method as the first pressure plate 423, so it can squeeze and fix the bearing. (3) Press assembly; The bearing is pressed by the hydraulic system 2 to achieve the assembly between the bearing and the carrier.
[0031] The above are merely embodiments of the present invention and do not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of the present invention specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
