[0032] The following specifically describes the technical solution protected by the present utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0033] As Figure 1 shown, in this embodiment, a type of door lock 5 is provided, which includes a door lock body 51. Installation holes are provided at both ends of the door lock body 51, and bolts 52 are assembled in the installation holes. A ball pin 54 is provided in the middle of the door lock body 51.

[0034] As Figure 2 shown, the present application provides a gasket feeding and assembling device, which includes a frame 1. A loading module 2, a feeding module 3, and an assembling module 4 are provided on the frame 1. The loading module 2 is used to carry the door lock body equipped with bolts, the feeding module 3 is used for gasket feeding and discharging, and the assembling module 4 is used to assemble the gasket onto the bolts.

[0035] As Figures 1 - 3 shown, the loading module 2 includes a rotating motor 21 disposed on the end face of the frame 1. The output end of the rotating motor 21 faces upward and is connected to a loading plate 22. Two groups of loading fixtures 23 are arranged at both ends of the loading plate 22 along the length direction. The loading fixtures 23 are used to place the door lock body on which bolts are installed. There are two groups of loading fixtures 23, which can realize the feeding of the door lock body by one end of the loading fixture 23. At the same time, the loading fixture 23 at the other end is used for the assembly of the gasket, and the two actions are carried out synchronously, effectively improving the working efficiency. In this embodiment, a positioning member (not labeled) is provided in the middle of the loading fixture 23 for limiting the ball pin 54 on the door lock body 51. A number of supporting members (not labeled) are arranged at intervals on both sides of the corresponding positioning member.

A plurality of supporting members are arranged at intervals to be applicable to different models of door lock bodies 51, and a sensor is correspondingly arranged on one side of each supporting member to determine the installation position of the bolt on the door lock body 51. Preferably, a vision sensor is provided above the loading fixture 23 at the feeding end for photographing and detecting the model of the door lock body.

[0036] As Figures 1 - 3 shown, preferably, stoppers 24 are provided at both ends of the loading plate 22 along the length direction at the bottom. A limit matching block 25 is provided on the end face of the frame 1 corresponding to the position between the loading module 2 and the assembling module 4. The rotating motor 21 drives the loading plate 22 to rotate, and the stopper 24 can correspondingly abut against the limit matching block 25 to control the rotation stop position of the loading plate 22, ensuring the accurate feeding position and assembly position of the two groups of loading fixtures 23.

[0037] As Figures 1 - 4As shown in the figure, the feeding module 3 is correspondingly located on one side of the loading plate 22 and is used for gasket feeding and discharging. The feeding module 3 includes a mounting frame 31 placed on the frame 1. A fixed seat 32 is arranged on the mounting frame 31. An opening 321 is formed on the upper end surface of the fixed seat 32, and a through slot 322 is formed through the fixed seat 32 in the horizontal direction. The opening 321 and the through slot 322 are in communication with each other. A magazine-type bin 33 is arranged in the opening 321, and a material distribution component 34 is arranged in the through slot 322. The magazine-type bin 33 is correspondingly placed above the material distribution component 34, and a pressing component 35 is arranged above the magazine-type bin 33. A receiving slot 333 is formed through the middle of the magazine-type bin 33 in the vertical direction. A number of stacked gaskets are arranged in the receiving slot 333. The pressing component 35 presses the gaskets in the receiving slot 333, and the gaskets can fall from the receiving slot 333 into the material distribution component 34 below.

[0038] As Figures 1 - 5 shown in the figure, the magazine-type bin 33 includes a magazine base 331 placed in the fixed seat 32 and a magazine cylinder 332 integrally arranged above the magazine base 331. The receiving slot 333 runs through from the upper end surface of the magazine cylinder 332 to the lower end surface of the magazine base 331. An elastic positioning member 36 is arranged on the side of the fixed seat 32. A through hole is formed in the fixed seat 32 at the position corresponding to the elastic positioning member 36, and a positioning groove is formed in the magazine base at the position corresponding to the through hole. The end of the elastic positioning member 36 can pass through the through hole and be correspondingly inserted into the positioning groove to fix the position of the magazine base 331.

[0039] As Figures 1 - 5 shown in the figure, placement cavities are arranged on both sides of the magazine base 331 corresponding to the receiving slot 333. A material supporting member 334 is arranged in the placement cavities. The material supporting member 334 supports the gaskets in the receiving slot 333. The material supporting member 334 includes a material supporting plate 3341. The middle of the material supporting plate 3341 is rotationally connected to the magazine base 331 through a rotating shaft 3342. The upper end of the material supporting plate 3341 and the end surface near the receiving slot 333 are connected to the inner wall of the placement cavity through a spring 3343. Due to the action of the spring 3343, a part of the lower end of the material supporting plate 3341 is placed in the receiving slot 333. The lower end of the material supporting plate 3341 supports the gaskets. Once the gaskets are subjected to a downward pressure, the lower end of the material supporting plate 3341 rotates back into the placement cavity. The material supporting plate 3341 rotates around the rotating shaft 3342, and the upper spring 3343 is compressed. The gaskets can fall from the receiving slot 333. Once the gaskets are no longer subjected to a downward pressure, the upper end of the material supporting plate 3341 is subjected to the restoring elastic force of the spring 3343, and the material supporting plate 3341 rotates back along the rotating shaft 3342. The lower end of the material supporting plate 3341 rotates back into the receiving slot 333 to support the gaskets.

[0040] As Figures 1 - 6As shown in the figure, the blanking component 35 includes a blanking cylinder 351 placed above the magazine bin 33, and a blanking rod 352 is connected to the output end of the blanking cylinder 351. When the blanking cylinder 351 operates, the blanking rod 352 moves downward, presses on the gasket placed in the receiving groove 333, and applies a downward pressure to the gasket.

[0041] As Figures 1 - 5 shown in the figure, the material distributing component 34 includes a push plate 341 placed in the through groove 322 and a material distributing cylinder 342 for driving the movement of the push plate 341. A receiving groove 3411 is formed on the upper end surface of the push plate 341 for receiving the gaskets falling from the receiving groove 333. The depth of the receiving groove 3411 is adapted to the thickness of a single gasket, and the size of the receiving groove 3411 is adapted to the size of the gasket, so that the receiving groove 3411 can just accommodate a single gasket. The material distributing cylinder 342 pushes the push plate 341 to place the receiving groove 3411 below the receiving groove 333. After receiving the gasket, the material distributing cylinder 342 drives the push plate 341 to move, and the receiving groove 3411 moves outside the fixed seat 32, realizing the single discharging of the gasket. The material distributing process is simple, and it ensures the single discharging of the gasket, effectively improving the working efficiency. Preferably, vacuum adsorption holes are formed in the receiving groove 3411 to adsorb the gasket in the receiving groove 3411 to prevent its position from shifting.

[0042] As Figures 1 - 6 shown in the figure, the assembly module 4 includes a support frame 41 placed on the frame 1, and a material taking component 42 and a crosswise movement driving component 43 for driving the material taking component 42 to move from above the feeding module 3 to above the assembly module 4 are arranged on the support frame 41.

[0043] As Figures 1 - 6 shown in the figure, the material taking component 42 includes a connecting plate 421, a lifting cylinder 422 is arranged on the connecting plate 421, and the output end of the lifting cylinder 422 faces downward and is connected with a material suction cylinder 423 for sucking products. Preferably, an avoidance hole is arranged in the middle of the material suction cylinder 423 to provide an avoidance space for the bolt during the gasket assembly. When the material suction cylinder 423 is ventilated, it can suck the gasket placed on the receiving groove 3411, and when the material suction cylinder 423 cuts off the air supply, it can place the gasket on the bolt. The crosswise movement driving component 43 includes a lead screw servo module 431 fixed on the support frame 41 and a crosswise movement slide rail 432 arranged on the support frame 41. The crosswise movement slide rail 432 extends from the direction of the feeding module 3 to the direction of the assembly module 4. The connecting plate 421 is slidably arranged on the crosswise movement slide rail 432 through a slider, and the lead screw servo module 431 drives the connecting plate 421 to slide reciprocally along the crosswise movement slide rail 432.

[0044] As Figures 1 - 2 shown in the figure, preferably, in this embodiment, two groups of feeding modules 3 and assembly modules 4 are arranged correspondingly, and the gaskets can be simultaneously loaded and assembled on the bolts at both ends of the door lock body 51, effectively improving the working efficiency.

[0045] Working principle:

[0046] The operator places the door lock body with bolts on the loading fixture 23, and the rotating motor 21 drives the loading plate 22 to rotate, rotating the door lock body 51 to be assembled under the loading module 2.

[0047] The pressing cylinder 351 drives the pressing rod 352 to move downward, pressing on the stacked gaskets. After the gaskets are stressed, the material supporting plate 3341 rotates back into the placement cavity, and the gaskets fall from the accommodating groove 333 into the receiving groove 3411. The vacuum adsorption holes start to ventilate, adsorbing the gaskets in the receiving groove 3411. The material separating cylinder 342 drives the push plate 341 to move, and the receiving groove 3411 moves outside the fixed seat 32.

[0048] The lead screw servo module 431 drives the material taking component 42 to move above the receiving groove, and the lifting cylinder 422 drives the suction cylinder 423 to descend. The vacuum adsorption holes cut off the air supply, and at the same time, the suction cylinder 423 starts to ventilate, adsorbing the gasket under the suction cylinder 423. The lifting cylinder 422 drives the suction cylinder 423 to rise, the lead screw servo module 431 drives the material taking component 42 to move above the loading fixture, the lifting cylinder 422 drives the suction cylinder 423 to descend, corresponding to being above the bolt, the suction cylinder 423 cuts off the air supply, and the gasket is sleeved on the bolt to complete the assembly.

[0049] The above are only the embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the patent scope of the present invention accordingly. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present invention, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, shall be included in the patent protection scope of the present invention by the same token.
