[0028] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are one embodiment of the present utility model, rather than all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0029] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6, an embodiment of the present utility model provides a suppression spring assembly machine, which includes a suppression spring feeding device 1, a transfer jig 2 installed on one side of the suppression spring feeding device 1, and an assembly jig 3 installed on one side of the transfer jig 2. A material transfer device 4 is installed on one side between the suppression spring feeding device 1, the transfer jig 2, and the assembly jig 3. The material transfer device 4 includes a lateral driving module 40, a first material transfer mechanism 41 installed on the lateral driving module 40 and used to place the suppression spring 9 on the suppression spring feeding device 1 onto the transfer jig 2, and a second material transfer mechanism 42 installed on the lateral driving module 40 and used to assemble the suppression spring 9 on the transfer jig 2 onto the assembly jig 3.

[0030] The suppression spring feeding device 1 includes a suppression spring vibrating bowl (not shown in the drawings) and a linear vibrator 11 installed at one end of the suppression spring vibrating bowl.

[0031] In this embodiment, the linear vibrator 11 can transport straight, but this kind of transportation is not conducive to feeding the suppression spring 9 on the suppression spring vibrating bowl into the linear vibrator 11. Therefore, in other embodiments, the linear transport groove on the linear vibrator 11 is inclined, and a rotary aligner 15 is installed at one end of the linear vibrator 11. Among them, the rotary aligner 15 includes a second rotary module 151 and an aligning block 152 installed on the second rotary module 151. An aligning groove 153 corresponding to one end of the linear transport groove on the linear vibrator 11 is installed on the aligning block 152. A baffle with half the height of the suppression spring 9 (this baffle is not shown in the drawings) is provided on the aligning groove 153. This baffle ensures that the first material transfer mechanism 41 can take out the top of the suppression spring 9 while also preventing the suppression spring 9 from flying out during the rotation process.

[0032] The first material transfer mechanism 41 includes a first lifting driving module 411, a first slide rail slider assembly 412, a first lifting plate 413 installed at the bottom of the first lifting driving module 411 and slidably connected to the first slide rail slider assembly 412, and a first clamping cylinder 415 installed on the first lifting plate 413, which are respectively installed on the lateral driving module 40.

[0033] In one of the embodiments, the first material transfer mechanism 41 further includes a first rotary module 414 installed on the first lifting plate 413, and the first clamping cylinder 415 is installed on the first rotary module 414. In this embodiment, in order to save floor space, the transfer jig 2 and the assembly jig 3 are respectively installed on the inclined side of the suppression spring feeding device 1. This position setting avoids the problem of large floor space caused by linear installation.

[0034] A placement groove 21 is formed on the transfer jig 2. The function of the placement groove 21 is that when the first material transfer mechanism 41 places the suppression spring 9 on the suppression spring feeding device 1 onto the transfer jig 2, the suppression spring 9 falls by gravity to the position of the placement groove 21, so that the shape and position of the suppression spring 9 match the shape and position during the next assembly.

[0035] The second material transfer mechanism 42 includes a second lifting drive module 421, a second slide rail slider 422 assembly respectively installed on the lateral drive module 40, a second lifting plate 423 installed at the bottom of the second lifting drive module 421 and slidably connected to the second slide rail slider 422 assembly, a second clamping cylinder 424 installed on the second lifting plate 423, and a pressing cylinder 425 installed on one side of the second clamping cylinder 424 and cooperating with the second clamping cylinder 424.

[0036] The second clamping cylinder 424 has two symmetrically arranged clamping arms 4241. A clamping groove 4242 for clamping the suppression spring 9 is formed between the two clamping arms 4241. A gear bump 4243 is provided at the top of the clamping groove 4242, and an opening 4244 is formed in the middle of the clamping groove 4242.

[0037] A pressing rod 4251 passing through the opening 4244 is installed at the bottom of the pressing cylinder 425.

[0038] A pressing port 4252 adapted to the shape of the top of the suppression spring 9 is formed at the bottom of the pressing rod 4251.

[0039] A suppression spring assembling machine according to an embodiment of the present invention has the following specific working principle:

[0040] S1: The suppression spring feeding device 1 feeds the suppression spring 9. The rotation and alignment device 15 takes out and aligns a single suppression spring 9, and the alignment angle is 90 degrees perpendicular, so as to facilitate the clamping by the vertically arranged first clamping cylinder 415 of the first material transfer mechanism 41.

[0041] S2: Through the lateral drive module 40, the first lifting drive module 411 and the first clamping cylinder 415 of the first material transfer mechanism 41, the suppression spring 9 is transferred from the suppression spring feeding device 1 to the transfer jig 2. The suppression spring 9 is inclined between the suppression spring feeding device 1 and the transfer jig 2. Therefore, during the transfer process, the first material transfer mechanism 41 adjusts the horizontal angle of the first clamping cylinder 415 through the first rotation module 414.

[0042] S3: The suppression spring 9 is placed on the placement groove 21 of the transfer jig 2 by gravity to adjust the placement position of the suppression spring 9, so as to facilitate subsequent alignment and assembly.

[0043] S4: The second material transfer mechanism 42 assembles the damping spring 9 on the transfer jig 2 onto the assembly jig 3, which specifically includes the following sub-steps:

[0044] S41: Through the lateral drive module 40, the second lifting drive module 421 and the second clamping cylinder 424 of the second material transfer mechanism 42, the damping spring 9 on the transfer jig 2 is taken out and transferred to directly below the assembly jig 3;

[0045] S42: The damping spring 9 is located on the clamping groove 4242 between the two clamping arms 4241, and both sides of the damping spring 9 abut against the blocking bumps 4243. The second lifting drive module 421 drives the second clamping cylinder 424 to press down halfway, so that half of the damping spring 9 on the second clamping cylinder 424 is clamped onto the assembly jig 3 (when pressing down, both sides of the damping spring 9 are respectively pressed tightly against the blocking bumps 4243. At this time, it cannot be completely pressed down, otherwise the second clamping cylinder 424 will interfere with the assembly jig 3);

[0046] S43: At this time, the second clamping cylinder 424 does not completely clamp the damping spring 9, but slightly clamps the damping spring 9 so that the left and right of the damping spring 9 are positioned. Then, the pressing rod 4251 of the pressing cylinder 425 presses the damping spring 9 onto the product, thus completing the assembly of the damping spring 9 onto the product.

[0047] The product assembled with the damping spring 9 of an embodiment of the present utility model is an adjustment claw assembly, and this adjustment claw assembly is installed on an automobile.

[0048] The above-mentioned lateral drive module 40, first lifting drive module 411, and second lifting drive module 421 mentioned in the embodiments of the present utility model are a slide table or a cylinder or a combination of a cylinder and a slide rail slider or a combination of a rotary motor, a synchronous pulley and a synchronous belt, a slide rail slider or a combination of a rotary motor, a lead screw, and a slide rail slider or other drive components that drive in a linear form.

[0049] The above-mentioned first rotation module 414 and second rotation module 151 mentioned in the embodiments of the present utility model can be respectively a swing cylinder or a rotary motor or an angle adjustment component. The angle adjustment component includes a linear drive cylinder, a rack installed at one end of the linear drive cylinder, and a gear meshing with the rack. When the first rotation module 414 and the second rotation module 151 are respectively angle adjustment components, one end of the alignment block 152 has an insertion rod inserted into the gear of the first rotation module 414, so that the alignment block 152 rotates synchronously with the gear, and the top of the first clamping cylinder 415 has an insertion rod inserted into the gear of the second rotation module 151, so that the first clamping cylinder 415 rotates synchronously with the gear.

[0050] An advantage of an anti - vibration spring assembly machine according to an embodiment of the present utility model is that it can automatically realize the assembly of the anti - vibration spring 9, with high assembly efficiency and avoiding the assembly difficulties during manual assembly.

[0051] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
