DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] In order to more intuitively and completely understand the technical solution of the utility model, the following non-limiting feature description is now provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the utility model:

[0021] like Figure 1 — Figure 6 As shown, an automobile steering column sleeve bearing assembly device comprises a frame 1, a first steering column sleeve placing tool 2 and a first assembly mechanism 3 are installed at the top left end of the frame 1, a second steering column sleeve placing tool 4 and a second assembly mechanism 5 are installed at the top right end of the frame 1, and a double-station bearing feeding mechanism 6 is installed at the rear end of the frame 1;

[0022] The first assembly mechanism 3 includes a first bracket 31, a first cylinder 32 installed on the upper end of the first bracket 31 extending forward and backward, a connecting plate 33 fixedly connected to the end of the piston rod at the front end of the first cylinder 32, a back plate 34 fixed to the right end of the connecting plate 33, and a second cylinder 35 fixed to the right end of the back plate 34 extending up and down. The right end of the first slide 351 at the right end of the second cylinder 35 is installed with a dispensing device 36 located above the first steering column jacket placement tool 2; the first assembly mechanism 3 also includes a clamping assembly 37, which is used to clamp the bearing 8 on the double-station bearing feeding mechanism 6 and place the bearing 8 into the upper end of the first steering column jacket placement tool 2.

[0023] The first cylinder 32 can drive the back plate 34 to move forward and backward, and the second cylinder 35 can drive the glue dispensing device 36 to move up and down.

[0024] like Figure 3As shown, the glue dispensing device 36 includes a glue dispensing head 361 and a motor 362. The output shaft of the motor 362 is connected to a rotating head 363. The glue dispensing head 361 dispenses glue to the upper surface of the rotating head 363. The motor 362 can drive the rotating head 363 to rotate when working. After the first steering column jacket is placed on the first steering column jacket placement tool 2, the glue dispensing head 361 dispenses glue to the upper surface of the rotating head 363, and then the second cylinder 35 controls the first slide 351 to move downward, so that the rotating head 363 extends into the upper end of the first steering column jacket, and then the motor 362 drives the rotating head 363 to rotate. After the rotating head 363 rotates, the glue on the upper surface of the rotating head 363 will be evenly thrown onto the inner wall of the upper end of the steering column jacket 7.

[0025] like Figure 3 As shown, the clamping assembly 37 includes a support plate 371 fixed to the upper end of the back plate 34, a third cylinder 372 fixed to the upper end of the support plate 371 extending up and down, and a pneumatic clamp 373 fixed to the end of the piston rod at the lower end of the third cylinder 372. The third cylinder 372 can drive the pneumatic clamp 373 to move up and down.

[0026] A slide rail 38 extending forward and backward is installed on the upper end of the first bracket 31 , and the left end of the back plate 34 is slidably matched with the slide rail 38 forward and backward.

[0027] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the double-station bearing feeding mechanism 6 includes a second bracket 61, two columns 62 fixed on the top of the second bracket 61, and a mounting plate 63 fixed on the upper ends of the two columns 62. A sleeve column 64 extending up and down and used for sleeve-connecting the bearing 8 is fixed on the left and right ends of the mounting plate 63, respectively.

The push rod 663 can push a bearing 8 to the left to a position blocked by the first material blocking platform 65 , and the bearing 8 on the sleeve column 64 will automatically move downward by gravity, causing a bearing 8 to fall onto the feeding plate 661 .

[0028] During operation, the steering column cover 7 is manually placed on the first steering column cover placement tooling 2, and the glue dispensing device 36 will apply glue to the inner wall of the upper end of the steering column cover 7. Then the first cylinder 32 controls the back plate 34 to move backward, so that the pneumatic clamp 373 moves to the top of the bearing 8 blocked by the first material blocking platform 65. Then the third cylinder 372 controls the pneumatic clamp 373 to move, and the pneumatic clamp 373 clamps the bearing 8. The first cylinder 32 controls the back plate 34 to move forward, so that the pneumatic clamp 373 moves to the top of the steering column cover 7. Then the third cylinder 372 controls the pneumatic clamp 373 to move downward, and the bearing 8 is placed in the upper end of the steering column cover 7, and the bearing 8 will be glued by the glue.

[0029] The structure of the second assembly mechanism 5 is the same as that of the first assembly mechanism 3, the structure of the second steering column cover placement tool 4 is the same as that of the first assembly mechanism 3, the structure of the second material blocking platform 67 is the same as that of the first material blocking platform 65, and the structure of the second pushing mechanism 68 is the same as that of the first pushing mechanism 66, so their structures are not elaborated in detail.
