DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0015] 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.

[0016] See also Figure 1-5The utility model provides the following technical solutions: an assembly device for a sleeve and a core insert, comprising a workbench 1, on which an assembly component and a holding component are installed, the assembly component comprising a rotating cylinder 2, an ejecting cylinder 3, and a positioning sleeve 4, the rotating cylinder 2 is installed on the workbench 1, the positioning sleeve 4 is connected to the rotor of the rotating cylinder 2, the rotor of the rotating cylinder 2 is hollow, the ejecting cylinder 3 is installed in the workbench 1, the push rod end of the ejecting cylinder 3 is connected with a ejecting block 5, the ejecting block 5 is located in the rotor of the rotating cylinder 2, and the bottom of the positioning sleeve 4 is provided with an ejecting outlet 6 adapted to the ejecting block 5, a plc controller 7 is arranged in the workbench 1, a touch switch 8 is arranged on the outer wall of the workbench 1, and the rotating cylinder 2, the ejecting cylinder 3, the holding component, the touch switch 8 are connected to the plc controller 7 by circuit.

[0017] In the above structure, there are two ways to place the sleeve 15 and the core 16 in the 4 kinds of positioning sleeves. The first method is to use two sets of vibration plates for loading, and then use the cylinder assembly to place the sleeve 15 and the core 16 in the 4 kinds of positioning sleeves in turn, and finally the ejection cylinder 3 ejects the assembled workpiece from the positioning sleeve 4, and then the cylinder drives the assembled workpiece to move to the next process. The second method is to manually place the sleeve 15 and the core 16. After the assembly is completed, the ejection cylinder 3 ejects the assembled workpiece from the positioning sleeve 4 and takes it out manually.

[0018] In this embodiment, the pressing assembly includes a bracket 9, a pressing cylinder 10, and a pressing ball head 11. The bracket 9 is installed on the workbench 1, the pressing cylinder 10 is installed on the bracket 9, the pressing ball head 11 is connected to the push rod end of the pressing cylinder 10, the pressing ball head 11 is located directly above the positioning sleeve 4, and the pressing cylinder 10 is connected to the PLC controller 7 line.

[0019] With the above structure, the pressing cylinder 10 drives the pressing head to move downward, and the pressing head presses the ferrule 16 to facilitate the threaded connection between the ferrule 16 and the sleeve 15.

[0020] In this embodiment, the holding cylinder 10 is connected to the pressing ball head 11 via a spring plunger 12 .

[0021] With the above structure, the pressing cylinder 10 is connected to the pressing ball head 11 through the spring plunger 12. This connection method can ensure that the pressing ball head 11 has a certain buffering effect during the pressing process to avoid excessive pressing force.

[0022] In this embodiment, a shielding cover 13 is provided on the workbench 1, and the rotating cylinder 2 is located in the shielding cover 13. The shielding cover 13 is connected to a retaining ring 14, and the outer ring wall of the retaining ring 14 abuts against the shielding cover 13, and the inner wall of the retaining ring 14 abuts against the outer wall of the rotating cylinder 2.

[0023] By adopting the above structure, the operating components are separated from the workers, so that the workers are prevented from directly contacting the operating components, thereby avoiding work-related injuries.

[0024] In this embodiment, the positioning sleeve 4 is a silicone sleeve.

[0025] With the above structure, the positioning sleeve 4 is made of a silicone sleeve, which makes the positioning sleeve 4 soft and wear-resistant, ensuring that the sleeve 15 and the insert 16 will not be damaged during the assembly process. The silicone sleeve can also provide a certain buffering effect, making the assembly process smoother.

[0026] Working principle: the PLC controller 7 is powered on and waits for the input signal of the touch switch 8. The vibration plate (if the first method is adopted) starts working to prepare for the loading of the sleeve 15 and the insert 16. If the first method is adopted, the sleeve 15 and the insert 16 are loaded separately through two sets of vibration plates, and then they are placed in the positioning sleeve 4 in turn through the cylinder assembly. If the second method is adopted, the operator manually puts the sleeve 15 and the ferrule 16 into the positioning sleeve 4; after the PLC controller 7 receives the assembly signal of the touch switch 8, it starts the pressing cylinder 10 and the rotating cylinder 2 in sequence, the pressing cylinder 10 drives the pressing ball head 11 to move down, the pressing ball head 11 presses the ferrule 16, and the rotating cylinder 2 drives the sleeve 15 to rotate through the positioning sleeve 4, so as to thread the ferrule 16 with the sleeve 15. When the pressing assembly is completed, the PLC controller 7 starts the ejection cylinder 3, and the push rod of the ejection cylinder 3 drives the ejection block 5 to rise, and the ejection block 5 ejects the assembled workpiece from the positioning sleeve 4 through the ejection outlet 6 at the bottom of the positioning sleeve 4. If the first method is adopted, the assembled workpiece is moved to the next process by the cylinder assembly. If the second method is adopted, the operator manually removes the assembled workpiece from the positioning sleeve 4. The PLC controller 7 waits for the next input signal of the touch switch 8, and the equipment enters the next assembly cycle.

[0027] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
