[0025] The technical features of the present invention are further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0026] As shown in the figure, the utility model is a valve plate bearing installation device, which is installed on a workbench 1.
[0027] A bearing vibration plate 500 may also be installed on the workbench 1 .
[0028] When the moving mechanism is a collaborative robot 600, a valve plate vibration plate 400 may be provided for automatic feeding.
[0029] When the moving mechanism is a vertical track 700, the valve plate vibration plate 400 may not be provided, and manual loading is adopted. The valve plate is manually placed between the two clamping contour blocks 201, and the pneumatic fingers 202 are activated to clamp the valve plate.
[0030] The workbench 1 is provided with a valve plate clamping mechanism and a bearing feeding fixing mechanism. The valve plate clamping mechanism is arranged to move relative to the workbench 1. The valve plate clamping mechanism includes a pneumatic finger 202, a connecting column 203, and two clamping profiling blocks 201 arranged opposite to each other, and the two clamping profiling blocks 201 move relative to each other. The two clamping profiling blocks 201 are respectively installed at two power output ends of the pneumatic finger 202, and the pneumatic finger 202 is connected to a moving mechanism through a connecting column 203.
[0031] In the present application, the moving mechanism may be a collaborative robot 600 or a vertical track 700. When the collaborative robot 600 is used as the moving mechanism, the valve plate clamping mechanism can automatically clamp the valve plate from the outlet of the valve plate vibration plate 400 and install the bearing through the action of the collaborative robot 600.
[0032] When the vertical track 700 is used as the moving mechanism, the vertical track 700 is a C-shaped steel rail, and a sliding block 701 is set in the track opening of the vertical track 700. The sliding block 701 slides in the track of the vertical track 700 along the length extension direction of the vertical track 700. The pneumatic finger 202 is connected to the sliding block 701 through the connecting column 203. When the sliding block 701 slides, the pneumatic finger 202 and the clamping contour block 201 also move accordingly. The position setting of the vertical track 700 is coordinated with the bearing fixing position of the bearing feeding fixing mechanism. During operation, the operator manually lifts the sliding block 701 and starts the pneumatic finger 202 to clamp the valve plate. After clamping the valve plate, the bearing mounting portion of the valve plate is located directly above the bearing fixing position, and the shaft head of the bearing mounting portion of the valve plate is coaxial with the inner ring surface of the bearing of the bearing fixing position. Then, the operator manually applies force to lower the valve disc clamped by the sliding block 701 and the clamping contour block 201. When the shaft head of the bearing mounting portion of the valve disc contacts the bearing in the bearing fixing position, the bearing is installed on the bearing mounting portion of the valve disc under the action of the sliding block 701, the deadweight of the valve disc clamping mechanism and the downward pressure applied by the operator.
[0033] In the present application, the structures of the valve plate vibration plate 400 and the bearing vibration plate 500 are similar, and a vibration plate spiral conveying form is adopted. The vibration plate is an auxiliary feeding equipment of an automatic assembly or automatic processing machine. It can arrange various products in an orderly manner. There is a pulse electromagnet under the vibration plate hopper, which can make the hopper vibrate in the vertical direction, and the inclined spring sheet drives the hopper to perform torsional pendulum vibration around its vertical axis. The parts in the hopper rise along the spiral track due to this vibration. During the rising process, after a series of track screening or posture changes, the parts can automatically enter the assembly or processing position in a unified state according to the requirements of assembly or processing. Its working purpose is to automatically and orderly arrange disordered workpieces in a directional and neat manner through vibration and transport them to the next process accurately.
[0034] In this embodiment, the pneumatic finger 202 is a standard pneumatic actuator that can be opened and closed in parallel and is used to clamp the product. The pneumatic finger 202 can be SMC brand, model MHZ2-25D, and the pneumatic finger drives two clamping contour blocks 201 to clamp the valve sheet.
[0035] The bearing feeding and fixing mechanism includes a bearing feeding channel 301, a bearing pushing and fixing channel 302 and a pushing slider 303. The bearing feeding and fixing mechanism includes a metal plate-shaped bottom plate 304, and the bearing pushing and fixing channel 302 is constructed on the upper surface of the bottom plate 304. The bearing feeding channel 301 is connected with the bearing pushing and fixing channel 302. The end of the pushing slider 303 moves in the bearing pushing and fixing channel 302, and the end of the bearing pushing and fixing channel 302 is a bearing fixing position. After the two clamping profiling blocks 201 of the valve plate clamping mechanism move, they are matched with the bearing fixing position.
[0036] The bearing feed channel 301 is a U-shaped channel steel, and the bearing feed channel 301 is connected to the discharge port of the bearing vibration plate 500. The bearing outputted from the bearing vibration plate 500 enters the bearing push fixing channel 302 through the bearing feed channel 301. The end of the bearing feed channel 301 is connected to the middle of the bearing push fixing channel 302, and the bearing feed channel 301 is connected to the inside of the bearing push fixing channel 302.
[0037] The cylinder 305 is relatively fixed to the bottom plate 304. The piston end of the cylinder 305 is connected to the tail end of the push slider 303. The end of the push slider 303 away from the cylinder 305 is matched with the bearing push fixed channel 302, and the end of the push slider 303 away from the cylinder 305 moves in the bearing push fixed channel 302, and the end of the push slider 303 is matched with the bearing fixed position.
[0038] In this embodiment, the bearing vibration plate 500 continuously delivers the arranged bearings to the discharge port, the front end of the slider 303 is configured as a slender push rod, and the cylinder 305 pushes the slider forward, so that the bearing moves forward to the bearing fixing position at the material taking position. The cylinder retracts to return to the material taking position to take out the next bearing.
[0039] Contouring grooves are respectively arranged on the opposite surfaces of the two clamping contour blocks 201, and a positioning groove which is matched with the protrusion on the surface of the valve plate is constructed in the contour groove of one of the clamping contour blocks 201.
[0040] Next, the working steps of this application are explained by taking the collaborative robot 600 as the mobile mechanism as an example.
[0041] During work, the whole packages of valve plates and bearings are manually poured into their respective vibration plates, and the various products are arranged in order through the vibration plates. The various parts of the products are assembled into a complete product with the help of automatic assembly equipment, or the workpieces are processed with automatic processing machinery.
[0042] The collaborative robot 600 with the valve plate clamping mechanism goes to the outlet of the valve plate vibration plate 400 to take the valve plate and drives the two clamping profiling blocks 201 to clamp the valve plate through the pneumatic fingers 202. The bearings are arranged on the bearing vibration plate 500 and then come to the bearing feeding and fixing mechanism. The bearing feeding and fixing mechanism moves once to send the bearing to the bearing fixing position and clamp it.
[0043] The collaborative robot 600 drives the valve disc clamping mechanism that clamps the valve disc to the bearing installation location, and the valve disc clamping mechanism drives the valve disc clamping mechanism that clamps the valve disc to press down to install the bearing. Then, the collaborative robot 600 drives the valve disc clamping mechanism that clamps the valve disc to lift up, and at this time the bearing feeding and fixing mechanism moves again to send another bearing to the bearing fixing position and clamp it, and the collaborative robot 600 drives the valve disc clamping mechanism that clamps the valve disc to flip and press down again to install the bearing on the other side. After installing the bearings on both sides, the collaborative robot 600 drives the gripper to the top of the finished product storage box, releases the valve disc clamping cylinder on the gripper, and the valve disc falls into the finished product storage box. In this form, by integrating the manipulator and the vibration plate on the workbench, and cooperating with the manipulator gripper located at the output end of the manipulator, the automatic installation of the valve disc bearing can be realized, which is simple and convenient, and improves work efficiency.
[0044] Of course, the above description is not a limitation of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the above examples. Any changes, modifications, additions or substitutions made by ordinary technicians in this technical field within the essential scope of the present invention should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
