The directional words that appear in the present utility model are to better illustrate the characteristics of the features and the relationship between the features. It should be understood that when the placement direction of the present utility model changes, the characteristics of the features and the direction of the relationship between the features also change accordingly. Therefore, the directional words do not constitute an absolute limitation on the characteristics of the features and the relationship between the features in space, but only play a relative limitation role.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the utility model provides an automatic installation device for a steering wheel bearing seat, comprising a bracket body 1, on which a loading assembly 3 and an installation assembly 2 are arranged, the loading assembly 3 is used for loading the bearing seat, and the installation assembly 2 is used to install the bearing seat for the steering wheel skeleton; the installation assembly 2 comprises a mounting table 20, a steering drive 24, a turntable 25, an auxiliary clamping member and an upper pressure drive 28, the mounting table 20 is fixedly installed on the bracket body 1, and a steering drive 24 and an upper pressure drive 28 are installed on the mounting table 20, the steering drive 24 is used to drive the turntable 25, and a bayonet 26 for transferring the bearing seat is arranged on the turntable 25; the auxiliary clamping member is used to clamp the steering wheel skeleton, and the upper pressure drive 28 is used to push the bearing seat in the bayonet 26 into the clamped steering wheel skeleton, and the loading assembly 3 is used to transport the bearing seat to the bayonet 26.

[0024] Through the above design scheme, the loading assembly 3 transports the bearing seat to the bayonet 26, and the bayonet 26 is aligned with the vibrating loading row 33 (mentioned below) under the drive of the steering drive 24. After receiving a bearing seat, the turntable 25 is rotated under the drive of the steering drive 24 to align the bayonet 26 with the upper pressure drive 28, and the auxiliary clamping part aligns the steering wheel frame with the upper pressure drive 28 and restricts it; when the turntable 25 drives the bearing seat to the upper pressure drive 28, the upper pressure drive 28 pushes the bearing seat from bottom to top to align with the steering wheel frame, and the bearing seat can be installed in the steering wheel frame by the push of the upper pressure drive 28.

[0025] In this embodiment, the loading assembly 3 includes a vibrating loading tray 31 and a vibrating loading row 33.

[0032] In this embodiment, a downward pressure driving member 5 is provided on the bracket body 1 at a position corresponding to the upward pressure driving member 28. The downward pressure driving member 5 can assist the upward pressure driving member 28 in applying downward pressure to the steering wheel frame, ensuring that the steering wheel frame can be pressed against to complete the installation work.

[0033] In this embodiment, a blocking bar 27 is provided on the mounting platform 20 near the turntable 25; the blocking bar can prevent the turntable 25 from throwing off the bearing seat in the bayonet 26 when rotating.

[0034] In this embodiment, a baffle is installed on the bracket body 1 .
