Detailed implementation manners

[0020] The present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and implementation manners.

[0021] Please refer to Figures 1-4 , wherein Figure 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a preferred embodiment of a fully automated machine for assembling engine oil filters provided by the present utility model; Figure 2 is a partial top view structural diagram of the enclosure in the present utility model; Figure 3 is a schematic connection structural diagram of the bearing plate and the connecting frame in the present utility model; Figure 4This is a schematic side view structure diagram of the connecting frame in the present utility model. The fully automated machine for assembling the oil filter includes: a drying table 1 and a drying hood 2 fixed on its top. On both sides of the drying table 1, there are respectively arranged a first conveyor group 6 and a second conveyor group 24. The former is used to transfer the inspected filters for drying, and the latter transfers the dried filters to the next process. Such conveyor groups are common belt conveyor mechanisms on the market and will not be elaborated here. An inlet 3 is opened on one side of the drying hood 2 close to the first conveyor group 6, and an outlet 4 is opened on the side close to the second conveyor group 24. A perforated plate 5 is fixed inside the drying hood 2, and the top end face of the perforated plate 5 is flush with the top end face of the outlet 4. On the outer wall of the drying hood 2 close to the first conveyor group 6, a folding plate 8 is fixed. At the top of the folding plate 8, two first cylinders 9 are fixed. The output shafts of the two first cylinders 9 both penetrate through the folding plate 8 and are movably connected to the folding plate 8. A same U-shaped frame 10 is fixed on the output shafts of the two first cylinders 9. A first screw 11 is rotatably installed inside it. A first moving plate 12 is threadedly installed on the first screw 11. A cross bar is fixed inside the U-shaped frame 10, and the cross bar penetrates through the first moving plate 12 and is slidably connected to it to reduce the stress on the first screw 11. A first motor is fixed on the outer wall of one side of the U-shaped frame 10, and its output shaft is fixedly connected to one end of the first screw 11. A cross arm 13 is fixed on the side of the first moving plate 12 close to the drying hood 2. A bearing plate 14 is fixed at the end of the cross arm 13. A plurality of connecting frames 15 are fixed at the bottom of the bearing plate 14. Two second cylinders 16 are fixed inside each of the plurality of connecting frames 15. Arc-shaped clamping pieces 17 are fixed on the output shafts of the plurality of second cylinders 16. By the extension of the output shafts of the second cylinders 16, the inspected filters are clamped by the arc-shaped clamping pieces 17. A hot air blower 18 is arranged below the drying hood 2. An air distribution duct 19 is fixed at the bottom of the drying table 1. The air outlet of the hot air blower 18 is fixedly connected to the air distribution duct 19. A plurality of air guiding ducts 20 are fixed on the air distribution duct 19. The top ends of the plurality of air guiding ducts 20 all extend into the drying hood 2 and are located below the perforated plate 5, so that hot air can be transferred to the drying hood 2 to dry the filters. A push plate 32 that can move horizontally is arranged inside the drying hood 2 to push the dried oil filters out of the outlet 4. Two baffles are fixed at the front and back on the top of the perforated plate 5. The push plate 32 is located between the two baffles and is in contact with the mutually approaching sides of the two baffles. When the filters are placed on the perforated plate 5, the front and back baffles can limit them, so as to ensure that the push plate 32 can push the filters out one by one.

[0022] In the above method, in order to enable a relatively large number of filters to be arranged one by one on the first conveyor unit 6, a retaining wall 7 is fixed on the side of the drying hood 2 close to the first conveyor unit 6. The retaining wall 7 is fixedly connected to the drying hood 2 through a connecting rod, and the retaining wall 7 is located above the first conveyor unit 6. When placing the filters on the first conveyor unit 6, the filters contact the inner walls of the front and rear sides of the retaining wall 7, so that they can be neatly arranged one by one.

[0023] In this method, in order to prevent the drying temperature inside the drying hood 2 from dissipating quickly, a sealing plate 23 is slidably arranged on the inner wall of the drying hood 2 on the side close to the first conveyor unit 6. The sealing plate 23 is adapted to the feed inlet 3, and the sealing plate 23 can cover the feed inlet 3. The top of the sealing plate 23 extends to the top of the drying hood 2 and is slidably connected to the top of the drying hood 2. A column 22 is fixed to the top of the sealing plate 23, and a cylinder three 21 is fixed to the top of the folding plate 8. The output shaft of the cylinder three 21 is fixedly connected to the column 22. The expansion and contraction of the output shaft of the cylinder three 21 is used to control the sealing plate 23 to block the feed inlet 3 or move out from the feed inlet 3, so as to facilitate the carrier plate 14 to carry the clamped filter into the drying hood 2. Moreover, a heat-insulating curtain 33 is fixed to the inner wall of the top of the discharge port 4. The heat-insulating curtain 33 is also a common PVC curtain on the market and has a good blocking effect.

[0024] In this method, in order to drive the pushing piece 32 to move horizontally, a rectangular frame 31 is fixed to the top of the pushing piece 32. The diameter of the rectangular frame 31 is larger than the diameter of the feed inlet 3, so that when the carrier plate 14 carries the filter into the drying hood 2, the two will not interfere with each other. A U-shaped frame two 25 is fixed to the top of the drying hood 2, and a screw two 26 is rotatably installed therein. A moving plate two 27 is threadedly installed on the screw two 26. One side of the moving plate two 27 is fixed with a push rod 28, and the end of the push rod 28 is fixed with an adapter piece 29. One side of the adapter piece 29 close to the drying hood 2 is fixed with a pull rod 30. The end of the pull rod 30 extends into the drying hood 2 and is fixedly connected to the top of the rectangular frame 31. The pull rod 30 is slidably connected to one side of the drying hood 2. A motor two is fixed to the outer wall of one side of the U-shaped frame two 25, and its output shaft is fixedly connected to one end of the screw two 26. By running the motor two, the rectangular frame 31 and the pushing piece 32 can be driven to move horizontally, so as to push the dried filter to move horizontally and finally fall into the second conveyor unit 24 through the heat-insulating curtain 33.

[0025] In addition, a guiding plate is fixed to the outer wall of the drying hood 2 on the side close to the second conveyor unit 24. The guiding plate is located between the discharge port 4 and the second conveyor unit 24 and can smoothly guide the filter pushed out of the drying hood 2 onto the second conveyor unit 24.

[0026] The working principle of the fully automatic machine for assembling engine oil filters provided by the present utility model is as follows:

[0027] In this device, the entire drying process is used in conjunction with conveyor unit 6 and conveyor unit 24. Conveyor unit 6 conveys the inspected oil filters, and conveyor unit 24 conveys the dried filters to the next packaging process;

[0028] Moreover, the inspected filters are conveyed within conveyor unit 6 and are in contact with the two inner side walls of the enclosure 7, so that the filters are arranged one by one;

[0029] During the assembly process of the oil filter, when it is necessary to dry the inspected filter, first start the hot air blower 18. The hot air blower 18 transfers the hot air from the air duct 20 to the drying hood 2. Then, start the output shaft of the first cylinder 9 to extend. The U-shaped frame 10 drives the bearing plate 14 to descend, and finally, the corresponding number of filters are located between the corresponding two arc-shaped clamping pieces 17. Subsequently, start the output shafts of multiple second cylinders 16 to extend, and the filters can be clamped by the arc-shaped clamping pieces 17. Then, start the output shaft of the first cylinder 9 to retract, and lift the corresponding number of filters out of the enclosure 7. After taking out the above-mentioned number of filters, the subsequent filters continue to move forward with the conveyance of conveyor unit 6 and are again in contact with the side wall of the enclosure 7;

[0030] Subsequently, start the output shaft of the third cylinder 21 to extend. Driven by the column 22, the sealing plate 23 starts to move upward and gradually opens the feed port 3. After the feed port 3 is fully opened, start the first motor in the forward direction. Its output shaft drives the first screw 11 to rotate. Under its thread engagement with the first moving plate 12, the first moving plate 12 drives the bearing plate 14 to move horizontally, first passing through the feed port 3 and then through the rectangular frame 31 until it reaches the final position. Then, turn off the first motor. Immediately start the output shaft of the first cylinder 9 to extend, place the filter below onto the porous plate 5. Subsequently, start the output shafts of the second cylinders 16 to retract to release the filters. At this time, the drying process of the filters begins. Then, start the output shaft of the first cylinder 9 to retract, and reverse-start the first motor to take the bearing plate 14 out of the drying hood 2. Finally, start the output shaft of the third cylinder 21 to retract to seal the feed port 3;

[0031] During the drying process, continue to start the output shaft of cylinder 1 to extend. In the same manner as above, clamp the next batch of filters to be dried again. After the previous batch of filters is dried, directly start motor 2 in the forward direction. Its output shaft drives screw 2 to rotate. At this time, through the threaded connection between screw 2 and moving plate 2, moving plate 2 drives rectangular frame 31 and pushing piece 32 to move horizontally, so as to be able to push the filters on porous plate 5. When the first filter touches heat insulation curtain 33, it will push it open, and then directly slide onto conveyor unit 2 through the guide plate to be conveyed to the next packaging process. After all the filters are pushed out, start motor 2 in the reverse direction to bring pushing piece 32 back to drying hood 2, and then continue to start devices such as cylinder 3, motor 1, etc., to bring the next batch of filters into drying hood 2 to continue drying. Repeat this process until the assembly is completed.

[0032] Compared with the related technology, the fully automated machine for assembling oil filters provided by the present utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0033] The present utility model provides a fully automated machine for assembling oil filters. Through the cooperation between conveyor unit 1 and enclosure 7, the inspected filters can be conveyed and temporarily stacked on conveyor unit 1. Then, by the cooperation of cylinder 2 and arc-shaped clamping piece 17, and the cooperation of screw 1 and moving plate 1, the filters are automatically brought into drying hood 2 and placed on porous plate 5 for drying. Then, the dried filters are pushed onto conveyor unit 2 by pushing piece 32 and conveyed to the next process. The whole process has a high degree of automation, without manual intervention, reducing the labor burden and improving the overall assembly efficiency at the same time.

[0034] The above are only the embodiments of the present utility model, and do not limit the patent scope of the present utility model accordingly. All equivalent structural or equivalent process transformations made by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present utility model, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are equally included in the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
