[0002] Gears are mechanical elements with teeth on the rim that can continuously mesh to transmit motion and power. They are toothed mechanical parts that can mesh with each other. Gears are widely used in the field of mechanical equipment. For example, in some rotary switches, gears need to be installed in the housing of the rotary switch. Such gears are often provided with some protruding stroke components for contacting with electrode sheets or contacts in the rotary switch. Therefore, the outer surface of such gear parts often has irregularly shaped areas. In automated equipment, there is no good structure for clamping, fixing and positioning such irregular gear parts, and manual installation is still the main method. This results in low production efficiency and unstable quality.

[0003] Therefore, the present application is proposed to provide an automated device that can better adapt to such gear parts with irregular area portions. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0022] This embodiment discloses a mounting device for a gear part, such as Figure 1-7 As shown, it includes a feeding mechanism 1, a transfer mechanism 2 and a push-in installation mechanism 3, the feeding mechanism 1 includes a feeding channel 101, a plurality of gear parts 11 are conveyed on the feeding channel 101, and a feeding port 102 is arranged at the end of the feeding channel 101, wherein the feeding channel 101 is connected to an existing feeding equipment such as an external conveyor belt or a vibration plate not shown in the figure, as long as the gear parts 11 can be smoothly fed into the feeding channel 101 and continuously conveyed to the feeding port 102.

[0023] The transfer mechanism 2 includes a clamping member 201, which is matched with the circular inner hole of the gear part 01. The clamping member 201 can clamp the gear part at the material taking port 102 and transfer it to the push-in installation mechanism 3; specifically, the transfer mechanism 2 also includes a translation mechanism 202 and a lifting mechanism 203. The clamping member 201 is installed on the lifting mechanism 203, and the lifting mechanism 203 is installed on the translation mechanism. Preferably, the translation mechanism 202 and the lifting mechanism 203 can both select a cylinder slide mechanism, and the movement of the clamping member is controlled by driving the corresponding cylinder to realize the transfer of the gear part.

[0024] The push-in installation mechanism 3 includes a first clamping block 301, a second clamping block 302 and a push block 303 located between the two clamping blocks. The first clamping block 301, the second clamping block 302 and the push block 303 are all provided with an arc structure for adapting the outer diameter of the gear part 11, and the arc structure mainly clamps the regular circular part on the gear part 11; Figure 4, the first clamping block 301, the second clamping block 302 and the pushing block 303 are all provided with a avoidance groove 4 for avoiding the irregular shape area 12 of the gear zero, and the groove wall of the avoidance groove 4 can be used for the gear part 11 to abut against, and the push-in installation mechanism 3 is used to push the gear part into the external housing 13. Among them, the external housing 13 is transported by a conveyor belt or a rotating disk or a manipulator and other existing technologies not shown in the figure, so the relevant part of the structure is omitted. Since the gear part 11 targeted by this embodiment is a gear part in some rotary switches, it will be provided with a protruding irregular shape area 12 for contacting with an electrode sheet or a contact point in the rotary switch to push its switch stroke. Because this part of the area is irregular in shape, direct clamping is unstable, so the avoidance groove 4 is provided, and the irregular shape area 12 is avoided by the avoidance groove 4, so that this part is allowed to abut against the groove wall, and then with the clamping of the arc structure, the gear part 11 is clamped up and down, left and right, front and back, so that stable clamping of this type of gear part can be achieved. This makes it easier to combine and install it with the shell later.

[0025] Further, the specific structure of the clamping member 201 is shown in Figure 2-3 The clamping member 201 includes a clamping finger cylinder A5 and a pair of semicircular rods 6 driven by the clamping finger cylinder A. The pair of semicircular rods 6 extend into the circular inner hole of the gear part, and can clamp the side wall of the inner hole when the pair of semicircular rods are far away from each other. It is mainly fixed by the friction force on both sides after being stretched open. Preferably, a flexible rubber material that increases the friction force can also be provided on the semicircular rods 6. The advantage of the clamping member 201 is that it clamps from the inner hole. On the one hand, it also avoids the irregular shape area 12 of the gear part 11. On the other hand, it will not affect the subsequent first clamping block, the second clamping block and the push block to clamp and fix the outside of the gear part 11.

[0026] Furthermore, the push-in installation mechanism 3 includes a transverse movement mechanism 9, a pushing mechanism 7 and a clamping finger cylinder B8 installed on the pushing mechanism 7. The pushing mechanism 7 is arranged on the transverse movement mechanism 9. The first clamping block 301 and the second clamping block 302 are connected to the output end of the clamping finger cylinder B8. The pushing block 303 is fixedly installed on the cylinder body of the clamping finger cylinder B8. Figure 5In the figure, a connecting block is arranged below the push block 303, and the connecting block is fixedly mounted on the cylinder body. The lateral movement mechanism 9 and the pushing mechanism 7 can be arranged as the cylinder slide rail mechanism commonly used in the prior art, and the corresponding action is driven by the cylinder, and the clamping finger cylinder B8 is used to drive the first clamp block 301 and the second clamp block 302 to clamp or move relatively close to each other, clamp the parts when close, and release them when moving away. The push block 303 cooperates with the pushing mechanism 7 to drive the gear part 11 to move forward when moving, because although the first clamp block and the second clamp block have an arc structure, due to the avoidance groove, the arc structure does not clamp much, and the pushing force and the clamping force are in two directions, so the position is easily offset when pushing, which is not accurate enough. Therefore, a push block 303 is arranged on the same line as the pushing direction, and the push block 303 is used to push the gear part 11, so that the movement is more accurate.

[0027] Further, see Figure 7 The upper surface of at least one of the first clamping block 301 and the second clamping block 302 is aligned with the upper wall of the inner cavity 14 of the external shell. Figure 7 In the figure, the upper surface of the first clamping block 301 is aligned with the inner cavity 14 of the external shell. The advantage is that the gear part 11 will not be too low when it is extended into the shell 13, because the lower end surface of the irregular shape area 12 of the gear part 11 is against the groove wall of the avoidance groove due to gravity. Therefore, the gear part 11 is biased downward as a whole, and the bottom will bulge a little. Therefore, if the insertion position is too low, the gear part 11 and the shell 13 may collide. Therefore, it is preferred that the upper surface of the clamping block is aligned with the upper wall of the inner cavity to ensure that it is in a relatively high position when entering to prevent collision between parts.

[0028] The working process of the device is briefly described below: First, the gear part 11 of the feeding mechanism 1 reaches the feeding port, and the external conveyor belt or rotating disk or robot and other mechanisms deliver the shell 13, and then the clamping member 201 moves to the feeding port through the translation mechanism 202 and the lifting mechanism 203 to take a gear part 11, and then the clamping member 201 moves to the pushing installation mechanism 3, and the transverse mechanism 9 also drives the first clamping block, the second clamping block and the pushing block to move laterally close to the clamping member 201, and then the clamping member 201 releases the gear part, the first clamping block and the second clamping block clamp the gear part, the transverse mechanism 9 is reset, the gear part and the shell 13 are aligned, and the pushing mechanism 7 pushes the gear part into the shell, and finally the first clamping block and the second clamping block are released and withdrawn from the shell to complete the installation of the gear part and the shell, which is convenient and quick.

[0029] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the design concept of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
