Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automatic clip spring insertion, in particular to an automatic clip spring insertion device for an industrial robot. Background Art

[0002] The circlip is an industrial accessory that can be used for angle adjustment, braking, support, height adjustment, buffering, etc. The circlip mainly works under dynamic load, that is, under the conditions of impact, vibration, or under the action of alternating stress, using elastic deformation to absorb impact energy and play a buffering role. The circlip is an elastic element widely used in the mechanical and electronic industries. When loaded, the circlip can produce a large elastic deformation, converting mechanical work or kinetic energy into deformation energy. After unloading, the deformation of the circlip disappears and returns to its original state, converting deformation energy into mechanical work or kinetic energy.

[0003] Traditionally, the assembly of circlips is usually done manually, which has some problems. First, the efficiency of manual assembly is affected by the skill level and fatigue level of the operator, and there are large human errors and unstable assembly time. Secondly, manual operation is also limited by the physical strength and health of workers, especially in high-intensity, repetitive working environments, which are prone to fatigue and injury. In order to solve these problems, the industrial robot automatic circlip insertion device came into being. The device combines robotics, automated control, and sensors to achieve high-speed, accurate, and stable circlip assembly. By using the industrial robot automatic circlip insertion device, manual operation can be replaced, assembly speed and consistency can be improved, and continuous work without rest can be achieved, thereby greatly increasing production efficiency.

[0004] At present, when the existing retaining spring assembly is working, it is necessary to manually apply pressure to the spring to connect the spring to the retaining spring tooling, which is quite laborious. At the same time, for retaining springs of different types and specifications, the device may need to be reconfigured and adjusted, which increases a certain amount of time and cost, and cannot better adapt to retaining spring tooling of various specifications. Therefore, an industrial robot automatic retaining spring device is proposed, which can install retaining spring tooling of different specifications and save manpower. Utility Model Content
