[0002] Shock absorbers are devices used to suppress vibrations and play an important role in the vehicle suspension system. The main function of shock absorbers is to quickly attenuate vehicle body vibrations and improve the ride quality and comfort of the vehicle. During vehicle driving, shock absorbers help control the contact between the wheels and the ground, reduce the impact caused by uneven road surfaces, and maintain good contact between the tires and the ground, thereby enhancing the vehicle's handling stability.

[0016] In some embodiments, the limit seat includes a limit cylinder and a connecting portion, the limit cylinder is connected to the conveying chain through the connecting portion, the inner diameter of the limit cylinder is larger than the diameter of the narrow section of the shock absorber, and the inner diameter of the limit cylinder is smaller than the diameter of the wide section of the shock absorber, the limit cylinder is sleeved on the narrow section of the shock absorber, and the limit cylinder supports the step surface between the narrow section and the wide section of the shock absorber.

The part of the shock absorber passing through the limit cylinder can be suspended between the two conveying chains, and the two ends of the connecting part are respectively overlapped on the two conveying chains, so that most of the limit cylinder can be located on the upper part of the conveying chain, so that the distance between the limit cylinder and the first claw is smaller. When the first claw releases the shock absorber, the shock absorber falls a smaller distance under the action of gravity, so that the impact force generated when the shock absorber collides with the limit cylinder is smaller, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the shock absorber due to falling.

The limit seat moves until the connecting part contacts the positioning rod and stops moving. After the limit seat stops moving, the third driving member drives the positioning rod to move along its own length direction away from the second plate where the third driving member is not set until the positioning rod avoids the movable path of the limit seat, so that the limit seat after the shock absorber is placed can move normally with the conveyor chain.

The first driving member 400 of any fixed component 40 drives the first claw 401 to move close to or away from the first claw 401 of another fixed component 40. The two first claws 401 cooperate to clamp the shock absorber 1 and support the shock absorber 1 for press-fitting; wherein, the area where the two first claws 401 cooperate to fall on the projection of the conveying mechanism 3 is the loading position, and the shock absorber 1 clamped by the first claws 401 extends into the limit seat 31 located at the loading position.

[0043] The conveyor chain 30 is a component of a chain conveyor, which is a material conveying device widely used in industrial production.

A plurality of limiting seats 31 are equidistantly arranged on the conveying chain 30 along the length direction of the conveying chain 30.

The two first claws 401 cooperate to form a positioning opening that fits with the outer peripheral surface of the shock absorber 1.

[0050] The first protrusion 4011 may be an arc with a smooth surface. When the mating positions of the two first clamping claws 401 are offset, the arc surface of the first protrusion 4011 can guide the two first clamping claws 401 to move relative to each other until the offset is eliminated.

[0058] The loading port 4100 includes a first section 41000 and a second section 41001. The diameter of the first section 41000 is larger than that of the second section 41001, so that the second section 41001 can still have a protective shielding effect on the robot arm and the worker's hand when the robot arm and the worker's hand are inserted into the first section 41000. The second section 41001 extends to the side of the first plate 410 along the direction of the conveying chain 30 to convey the shock absorber 1, so that the shock absorber 1 that has been placed on the limit seat 31 can be separated from the second section 41001 under the drive of the conveyor. The first claw 401 corresponds to the position of the second section 41001, which is convenient for the robot arm that transports the shock absorber 1 to extend into the first section 41000 or for the worker to perform maintenance or adjustment.

[0059] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the first claw 401 has a first surface 4012 , the first surface 4012 is perpendicular to the height direction of the shock absorber 1 , the first surfaces 4012 of the two first claws 401 of a pair of fixing assemblies 40 are flush, and the first surface 4012 is used to support the dust ring of the shock absorber 1 .

[0060] A buffer coating may be provided on the first surface 4012. When the dust ring is pressed against the first surface 4012 by the shock absorber 1, the buffer coating can absorb part of the pressure applied to the first surface 4012 by the dust ring, thereby reducing the risk of deformation or damage of the first surface 4012 due to the force.

[0061] The first claw 401 has a first surface 4012, and the first surfaces 4012 of the two first claws 401 of a pair of fixing components 40 are flush, so that the dust ring is subjected to the same reaction force from the first surfaces 4012 of the two first claws 401, thereby reducing the risk of the dust ring being skewed or partially deformed due to uneven force.

[0062] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, Figure 2 to Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the limit seat 31 includes a limit cylinder 310 and a connecting portion 311. The limit cylinder 310 is connected to the conveying chain 30 through the connecting portion 311. The inner diameter of the limit cylinder 310 is larger than the diameter of the narrow section of the shock absorber 1, and the inner diameter of the limit cylinder 310 is smaller than the diameter of the wide section of the shock absorber 1. The limit cylinder 310 is sleeved on the narrow section of the shock absorber 1, and the limit cylinder 310 supports the step surface between the narrow section and the wide section of the shock absorber 1.

[0063] A rubber layer may be provided on the inner wall of the limiting cylinder 310 , and the rubber layer and the shock absorber 1 placed in the limiting cylinder 310 can be squeezed by the rubber layer to limit the position.

[0064] The inner diameter of the limiting cylinder 310 is larger than the diameter of the narrow section of the shock absorber 1, so that the shock absorber 1 can be easily inserted into the limiting cylinder 310, and the inner diameter of the limiting cylinder 310 is smaller than the diameter of the wide section of the shock absorber 1. The limiting cylinder 310 is sleeved on the narrow section of the shock absorber 1, and the limiting cylinder 310 supports the step surface between the narrow section and the wide section of the shock absorber 1. The shock absorber 1 is suspended on the conveying mechanism 3 through the limiting cylinder 310.

[0065] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, Figure 1-2 As shown, there are two conveying chains 30 , the limiting cylinder 310 is located between the two conveying chains 30 , and both ends of the connecting portion 311 are overlapped with the two conveying chains 30 respectively.

[0066] The spacing distance between the two conveyor chains 30 is greater than the inner diameter of the limiting cylinder 310 , thereby reducing the risk of the shock absorber 1 in the limiting cylinder 310 and the conveyor chain 30 being scratched.

[0067] The connecting portion 311 may be detachably connected to the conveying chain 30 .

[0068] A portion of the shock absorber 1 placed on the limit seat 31 may pass through the limit cylinder 310, and the limit cylinder 310 is located between the two conveying chains 30. The portion of the shock absorber 1 that passes through the limit cylinder 310 can be suspended between the two conveying chains 30, and the two ends of the connecting portion 311 are respectively overlapped on the two conveying chains 30, so that most of the limit cylinder 310 can be located on the upper part of the conveying chain 30, so that the distance between the limit cylinder 310 and the first claw 401 is small. When the first claw 401 releases the shock absorber 1, the shock absorber 1 falls a short distance under the action of gravity, so that the impact force generated when the shock absorber 1 collides with the limit cylinder 310 is small, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the shock absorber 1 due to falling.

[0069] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, Figure 2 to Figure 7 As shown, it also includes a positioning mechanism 5, which includes a pair of positioning components 50, which are arranged opposite to each other and are respectively arranged on both sides of the loading position; the positioning component 50 includes a second claw 500, a second driving member 501 and a second plate 502, the second driving member 501 is fixedly arranged on the second plate 502, and the second claw 500 is located between the first claw 401 and the conveying chain 30. The second driving member 501 of any positioning component 50 drives the second claw 500 to move close to or away from the second claw 500 of another positioning component 50, and the two second claws 500 cooperate to clamp the limiting cylinder 310 located at the loading position.

[0070] The second plate 502 may be vertically connected to the frame 41 .

[0071] The second claw 500 is located between the first claw 401 and the conveying chain 30. The position of the second claw 500 corresponds to the position of the limiting cylinder 310. The second driving member 501 of any positioning assembly 50 drives the second claw 500 to move closer to or away from the second claw 500 of another positioning assembly 50. The two second claws 500 cooperate to clamp the limiting cylinder 310 at the loading location. During the actual use of the shock absorber 1 unloading device provided in the present application, the two second claws 500 are driven by the two second driving members 501 to move toward the limiting cylinder 310 at the loading location until the limiting cylinder 310 is clamped. When the robotic arm transports the shock absorber 1 with the dust ring to the loading location, a part of the shock absorber 1 extends into the limiting cylinder 310. After the shock absorber 1 is pressed and installed, the first claw 401 is released, and the shock absorber 1 falls until it is supported by the limiting cylinder 310. The two second driving members 501 drives the two second claws 500 to move away from the limiting cylinder 310, and then the conveying chain 30 drives the limiting cylinder 310 with the shock absorber 1 placed thereon to move. The second claws 500 are used to fix the position of the limiting cylinder 310 during the period from when the shock absorber 1 begins to enter the limiting cylinder 310 to when the shock absorber 1 completely enters the limiting cylinder 310, thereby reducing the risk of the limiting cylinder 310 being displaced by the collision of the shock absorber 1, causing shaking of the conveying chain 30 and other limiting cylinders 310 with the shock absorber 1 placed thereon.

[0072] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, Figure 2 to Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the positioning mechanism 5 also includes a positioning rod 51, and the second plate 502 is provided with a first hole for the positioning rod 51 to pass through. The positions of the first holes on the two second plates 502 correspond to each other, and the two ends of the positioning rod 51 can be movably inserted into the first hole. The positioning rod 51 contacts the connecting portion 311 of the limit seat 31 located at the loading position.

[0073] Both ends of the positioning rod 51 may exceed two second plates 502 ; or, one end of the positioning rod 51 may exceed one of the second plates 502 , and the other end of the positioning rod 51 may not exceed the other second plate 502 .

[0074] The two ends of the positioning rod 51 can be movably inserted into the first hole, and the positioning rod 51 contacts the connecting part 311 of the limit seat 31 located at the loading position. The positioning rod 51 limits the position of the limit seat 31. When the limit seat 31 moves to the connecting part 311 and contacts the positioning rod 51, the limit seat 31 is at the loading position. The positioning rod 51 provides a position reference for the limit seat 31 at the loading position, thereby reducing the difficulty of determining the position of the limit seat 31.

[0075] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, the positioning mechanism 5 also includes a third driving member, which is arranged on the second plate 502 of any positioning assembly 50, and the third driving member drives the positioning rod 51 to move along its own length direction to block or avoid the moving path of the limit seat 31.

[0076] The positioning rod 51 can remain inserted in the first hole of the second plate 502 fixed by the third driving member, and the end of the positioning rod 51 away from the third driving member moves under the drive of the third driving member to be inserted into or out of the first hole of another second plate 502.

[0077] The third driving member drives the positioning rod 51 to move along its own length direction to block or avoid the moving path of the limiting seat 31. When the limiting seat 31 is not placed and moves toward the loading position, the third driving member drives the positioning rod 51 to move along its own length direction toward the second plate 502 where the third driving member is not set until the positioning rod 51 is inserted into the first hole of the second plate 502. The limiting seat 31 moves until the connecting part 311 contacts the positioning rod 51 and stops moving. After the limiting seat 31 stops moving, the third driving member drives the positioning rod 51 to move along its own length direction away from the second plate 502 where the third driving member is not set until the positioning rod 51 avoids the moving path of the limiting seat 31, so that the limiting seat 31 after the shock absorber 1 is placed can move normally with the conveying chain 30.

[0078] Although the present application has been described with reference to preferred embodiments, various modifications may be made thereto and parts thereof may be replaced with equivalents without departing from the scope of the present application. In particular, the various technical features mentioned in the various embodiments may be combined in any manner as long as there are no structural conflicts. The present application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but includes all technical solutions falling within the scope of the claims.
