[0018] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0019] See also Figure 1-4 A positioning device for assembling a connecting rod bearing comprises a moving trolley 1, a bracket 2 fixedly supported on the moving trolley 1 and a mounting plate 3 fixed on the bracket 2, a rotatable platform 4 is rotatably mounted on the mounting plate 3, an unlockable locking component 5 is mounted on one side of the mounting plate 3 for locking the platform 4, two groups of positioning components are mounted on the platform 4, each group of positioning components comprises a first positioning seat 6 and a second positioning seat 7, and the first positioning seat 6 and the second positioning seat 7 are respectively fixedly mounted and floatingly mounted on the platform 4.
[0020] In the utility model, the platform 4 is rotatably mounted on the mounting plate 3 via a slewing support seat 15, and the outer ring and the inner ring of the slewing support seat 15 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the mounting plate 3 and the lower surface of the platform 4 respectively, so as to realize the rotatable mounting of the platform 4 on the mounting plate 3.
[0021] In the utility model, a lower positioning through hole 8 is provided on one side of the mounting plate 3 , and upper positioning through holes 9 are provided on both sides of the platform 4 .
[0022] In the present utility model, the locking component 5 includes a frame-shaped seat 51, a positioning pin 52, a pressing piece 53 and a first spring 54. The frame-shaped seat 51 is fixedly connected to one side of the lower surface of the mounting plate 3. The positioning pin 52 passes through the frame-shaped seat 51 and the lower positioning through hole 8 from bottom to top, and is inserted into the corresponding upper positioning through hole 9. The pressing piece 53 is fixedly sleeved on the positioning pin 52, and the upper surface of the pressing piece 53 abuts against the inner top surface of the frame-shaped seat 51. The first spring 54 is sleeved on the outside of the positioning pin 52, and the two ends of the first spring 54 respectively abut against the lower surface of the pressing piece 53 and the inner bottom surface of the frame-shaped seat 51.
[0023] Therefore, when assembling the bearing, the first spring 54 stretches naturally, and its two ends respectively abut against the lower surface of the pressing plate 53 and the inner bottom surface of the frame seat 51, so that the upper surface of the pressing plate 53 abuts against the inner top surface of the frame seat 51. At this time, the positioning pin 52 passes through the frame seat 51 and the lower positioning through hole 8 from bottom to top, and is inserted into the corresponding upper positioning through hole 9 to lock the platform 4.
[0024] After completing the assembly of the bearing, hold the lower end of the positioning pin 52 and pull the positioning pin 52 downward to move it downward. After disengaging from the upper positioning through hole 9 and the corresponding lower positioning through hole 8 from top to bottom, release the lock on the platform 4 and rotate the platform 4. At this time, the pressing sheet 53 moves downward with the positioning pin 52, forcing the first spring 54 to compress.
[0025] In the utility model, three first step holes 10 with a smaller upper part and a larger lower part are respectively arranged on the mounting plate 3, and the three first step holes 10 are distributed in the circumferential direction.
[0026] In the utility model, the first positioning seat 6 includes a first convex block fixedly connected to the platform, and the second positioning seat 7 includes a second convex block. The second convex block 7 is respectively provided with three second step holes 11 with a small upper part and a large lower part around it. The upper hole of each second step hole 11 is a screw hole. A bolt 12 passes through the corresponding first step hole 10 and the lower hole of the second step hole 11 from bottom to top in sequence, and is screwed into the upper hole of the second step hole 11. The nut end of the bolt 12 abuts against the step surface of the first step hole 10. The outside of the bolt 12 is covered with a second spring 13, and the two ends of the second spring 13 respectively abut against the step surface of the second step hole 11 and the upper surface of the mounting plate 3.
[0027] Therefore, when the three second springs 13 are naturally stretched, a buffer gap is provided between the bottom surface of the second convex block 7 and the upper surface of the mounting plate 3 under the elastic support of the three second springs 13 .
[0028] When assembling the bearing, after the second convex block 7 positions the large end of the connecting rod, the ram of the press moves downward to gradually press the bearing onto the large end of the connecting rod. During this process, the second convex block 7 gradually moves downward under the squeezing effect of the ram, and the bolt 12 gradually moves downward accordingly. The nut end of the bolt 12 disengages from the step surface of the first step hole 10 and moves downward until the bottom surface of the second convex block 7 contacts the upper surface of the mounting plate 3. At this time, the second spring 13 is compressed.
[0029] After the bearing is assembled, the pressure head of the press moves upward, the second spring 13 stretches and resets, and under the lifting action of the second spring 13, the second convex block 7 gradually moves upward, and the bolt 12 gradually moves upward until the nut end of the bolt 12 abuts against the step surface of the first step hole 10 again. At this time, the second spring 13 naturally stretches and completes the reset.
[0030] It should be noted that the utility model can fix a material frame 14 on the mobile trolley 1 for placing parts to be assembled, including connecting rods, bearings, etc. When assembling bearings, on-site assembly workers can directly take out the above-mentioned parts to be assembled from the material frame 14, thereby saving time for taking out parts and further helping to improve assembly efficiency.
[0031] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:
[0032] When assembling the bearings, two connecting rods are taken out from the material frame 14 at the same time, and the two connecting rods are positioned by two sets of positioning components respectively. Among them, the first positioning seat 6 can stably and reliably support and position the small end of the connecting rod, and the second positioning seat 7 can float and position the large end of the connecting rod.
[0033] Move the mobile trolley 1 to the bottom of the ram of the press, so that a connecting rod with a bearing to be press-fitted moves to the bottom of the ram of the press, and then start the press. The ram of the press moves downward, and gradually presses the bearing onto the large end of the connecting rod. In this process, the second convex block 7 gradually moves downward under the squeezing effect of the ram, and the bolt 12 gradually moves downward accordingly. The nut end of the bolt 12 disengages from the step surface of the first step hole 10 and moves downward until the bottom surface of the second convex block 7 contacts the upper surface of the mounting plate 3. At this time, the second spring 13 is compressed.
[0034] After the bearing is assembled, the pressure head of the press moves upward, the second spring 13 stretches and resets, and under the lifting action of the second spring 13, the second convex block 7 gradually moves upward, and the bolt 12 gradually moves upward until the nut end of the bolt 12 again abuts against the step surface of the first step hole 10. At this time, the second spring 13 naturally stretches and completes the reset.
[0035] Next, you can remove the connecting rod with the bearing pressed in.
[0036] Then, hold the lower end of the positioning pin 52 and pull the positioning pin 52 downward to move it downward. After disengaging from the upper positioning through hole 9 and the corresponding lower positioning through hole 8 from top to bottom, release the lock on the platform 4 and rotate the platform 4 so that the connecting rod of the other bearing to be pressed moves to the bottom of the pressing head of the press. At this time, the pressing plate 53 moves downward with the positioning pin 52, forcing the first spring 54 to compress.
[0037] Then, the positioning pin 52 is released, the first spring 54 is stretched and reset, and under the lifting action of the first spring 54, the pressing piece 53 gradually moves upward until its upper surface abuts against the inner top surface of the frame seat 51 again. At this time, the positioning pin 52 passes through the frame seat 51 and the lower positioning through hole 8 from bottom to top, and then is inserted into the corresponding upper positioning through hole 9 again to lock the platform 4. At this time, the first spring 54 is naturally stretched and reset is completed.
[0038] Then, according to the above assembly process, the bearing press-fitting is completed.

This description of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole.
