[0028] like Figures 1 to 5 , a ball head assembly single disc assembly line, comprising a base 1 and a plurality of ball seat positioning seats 2, an oiling mechanism 3 and a dust cover installation mechanism 4 respectively arranged on the base 1, wherein the oiling mechanism 3 in the utility model is the oiling mechanism 2 in patent publication number CN117817307A, which is mainly used for oiling the ball seat and the ball head, and the dust cover installation mechanism 4 is the dust cover installation mechanism in patent publication number CN117817307A, which is mainly used for installing the dust cover on the ball seat;

[0029] In the present invention, since a rotating disc 5 is rotatably connected to the base 1, and a plurality of ball seat positioning seats 2 are arranged around the center position of the rotating disc 5 and are fixedly connected to the rotating disc 5 by bolts, the rotating disc 5 will drive the ball seat positioning seat 2 to drive the ball head and the pull rod to rotate during the rotation process. Since the ball seat positioning seat 2 is arranged around the center position of the rotating disc 5, and the oiling mechanism 3 and the dust cover mounting mechanism 4 are arranged around the center of the rotating disc, the oiling mechanism 3 and the dust cover mounting mechanism 4 are arranged opposite to the ball seat positioning seat 2. Therefore, when the ball seat and the pull rod rotate to the bottom of the oiling mechanism 3, the oiling mechanism 3 is started, and the ball seat and the pull rod are oiled by the oiling mechanism 3. Oiling is performed. When the ball seat and the pull rod are oiled, since the base 1 is located between the oiling mechanism 3 and the dust cover installation mechanism 4, a dust cover transmission mechanism 6 is arranged. One end of the dust cover transmission mechanism 6 can be arranged opposite to the ball seat positioning seat 2. Therefore, the ball seat and the pull rod are rotated to be arranged opposite to the dust cover transmission mechanism 6. The dust cover transmission mechanism 6 transmits the dust cover to the ball seat and the pull rod. The dust cover transmission mechanism 6 is started. The dust cover transmission mechanism 6 transmits the dust cover to the ball seat. The ball seat and the pull rod continue to rotate so that the ball seat and the pull rod are rotated to the bottom of the dust cover installation mechanism 4. The dust cover installation mechanism 4 is started to install the dust cover, thereby realizing the installation of the ball head assembly.

[0030] Since the ball seat positioning seat 2 includes a ball seat support seat 7 and a connecting rod support seat 8, a connecting rod positioning hole 1 9 is opened on the ball seat support seat 7, and a connecting rod positioning hole 2 10 is opened on the connecting rod support seat 8.

[0031] Specifically, since the dust cover transmission mechanism 6 includes a connecting seat 11, a movable seat 12, a conveying mechanism 13 and a clamping manipulator 14, wherein the connecting seat 11 is fixedly connected to the base 1, the movable seat 12 is driven to rise and fall and is connected to the connecting seat 11, and the clamping manipulator 14 is driven to rotate and is connected to the movable seat 12, the conveying mechanism 13 is arranged on one side of the base 1, and one end of the conveying mechanism 13 displaces one end of the clamping manipulator 14, so the conveying mechanism 13 is started, the conveying mechanism 13 transmits the dust cover to the vicinity of the clamping manipulator 14, the clamping manipulator 14 is started, and the clamping manipulator 14 clamps the dust cover. When the dust cover is clamped, the clamping mechanism The hand 14 rotates, causing the clamping mechanism to rotate back to be arranged opposite to the ball seat positioning seat 2. At this time, the movable seat 12 rises and falls, and the lifting and lowering of the movable seat 12 drives the clamping manipulator 14 to drive the dust cover to be placed on the ball seat, thereby achieving the transmission of the dust cover. The movable seat 12 of the utility model is driven by a cylinder 19, and the cylinder 19 is fixedly connected to the connecting seat 11, and the output shaft is fixedly connected to the movable seat 12, so that the movement of the movable seat 12 can be realized, and the clamping manipulator 14 is driven by a motor 28, and the motor 28 is fixedly connected to the movable seat 12, and the output shaft is fixedly connected to the clamping manipulator 14, so that the rotation of the clamping manipulator 14 can be realized.

[0032] Specifically, since the conveying mechanism 13 includes a vibration plate 15 and a conveying guide rail 16, wherein the vibration plate is arranged on one side of the base 1, one end of the conveying guide rail 16 is communicated with the vibration plate 15, a positioning hole 3 17 is provided at the end of the conveying guide rail 16 away from the vibration plate 15, and a slot 18 for the clamping robot 14 to enter is provided at the end of the conveying guide rail 16 close to the positioning hole 3 17. Therefore, when the vibration plate is started, the vibration plate drives the dust cover to enter the conveying guide rail 16, and the dust cover is transmitted to the positioning hole 3 17 through the conveying guide rail 16. At this time, the clamping robot 14 clamps the dust cover through the slot 18, thereby realizing the transmission of the dust cover.

[0033] Specifically, since the clamping robot 14 includes two cylinders 19 and two clamping blocks 20, the two cylinders 19 are fixedly connected, and one of the cylinders 19 is driven to rotate and connected to the movable seat 12, the two clamping blocks 20 are arranged opposite to each other and are respectively fixedly connected to the output shafts of the two cylinders 19. Therefore, when the cylinder 19 is started, the clamping block 20 can be driven to move by the cylinder 19, thereby realizing the clamping of the dust cover by the clamping block 20.

[0034] Specifically, since the rotating disk 5 includes a connecting disk 21 and a supporting disk 22, the connecting disk 21 is driven to rotate and connected to the base 1, and the supporting disk 22 is threadedly connected to the connecting disk 21 by bolts, the supporting disk 22 can be disassembled by removing the bolts.

[0035] Specifically, since the base 1 is fixedly connected with a reducer 23, the output shaft of the reducer 23 is fixedly connected to the connecting disk 21, and the base 1 is fixedly connected with a driving motor 24, the output shaft of the driving motor 24 is fixedly connected to the reducer 23, when the driving motor 24 is started, the reducer 23 is driven by the driving motor 24 to rotate the connecting disk 21, so that the connecting disk 21 can drive the supporting disk 22 to rotate.

[0036] Specifically, a working platform 25 is fixedly connected to the base 1 to facilitate personnel to place workpieces, and a placement groove 26 for placing objects is provided on the working platform 25 to facilitate personnel to store workpieces.

[0037] Principle of the utility model: the ball seat and the pull rod are positioned by the ball seat positioning seat 2, and the rotating disc 5 rotates at this time, and the rotation of the rotating disc 5 causes the ball seat and the pull rod to be transferred to the bottom of the oiling mechanism 3, and the oiling mechanism 3 oils the ball seat and the pull rod, and transfers the ball seat and the pull rod to the top of the dust cover transmission mechanism 6, and the dust cover transmission mechanism 6 transfers the dust cover to the ball seat and the pull rod, and utilizes the rotation of the rotating disc 5 to transfer the ball seat and the pull rod to the bottom of the dust cover installation mechanism, thereby achieving the installation of the workpiece by the dust cover installation mechanism 4.

[0038] The above embodiments are intended to illustrate the present invention, not to limit the present invention. Any solution that is a simple transformation of the present invention falls within the protection scope of the present invention.
