[0021] 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 only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art belong to the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0022] Such as Figures 1 to 4As shown in the figure, a fan blade rubber sleeve automatic installation device includes a first manipulator 1, a second manipulator 2, and a rubber sleeve discharging device.

[0023] Among them, a fan blade fixture 1-1 for grasping the fan blade 5 is provided on the first manipulator 1. Among them, three grippers that can be opened or closed are provided on the fan blade fixture 1-1; when the fan blade fixture 1-1 grasps the fan blade 5, the three grippers on the fan blade fixture 1-1 are clamped on the outer side of the hub 5-1 on the fan blade 5.

[0024] A rubber sleeve fixture 2-1 for grasping the rubber sleeve 4 is provided on the second manipulator 2. Among them, three grippers that can be opened or closed are provided on the rubber sleeve fixture 2-1; when grasping the rubber sleeve 4, the three grippers on the rubber sleeve fixture 2-1 clamp the outer side of the rubber sleeve 4.

[0025] The second manipulator 2 grabs the rubber sleeve 4 from the rubber sleeve discharging device and slews the rubber sleeve 4 onto the mandrel 5-3 of the fan blade 5.

[0026] Among them, the structure of the rubber sleeve 4 is as Figure 4 shown. The rubber sleeve 4 is integrally cylindrical, and its material is made of rubber, having good cushioning properties. The inner hole diameter of the rubber sleeve 4 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the mandrel 5-3, so that after the rubber sleeve 4 is slewed onto the mandrel 5-3, it can maintain a certain interference fit with the mandrel 5-3, ensuring that the rubber sleeve 4 can be stably slewed onto the mandrel 5-3.

[0027] Specifically, the rubber sleeve discharging device includes a vibrating bowl 3-1. A discharging guide rail 3-2 is provided on the vibrating bowl 3-1. A material control component 3-3 is provided at one end of the discharging guide rail 3-2 away from the vibrating bowl 3-1. A waiting material hole 3-6 is provided on the material control component 3-3. A top material cylinder 3-4 is provided on the material control component 3-3. A top material rod 3-9 is connected to the top material cylinder 3-4. The top material rod 3-9 is driven to move by the top material cylinder 3-4 to realize the tightening or loosening of the rubber sleeve 4 in the waiting material hole 3-6. A movable limit plate 3-8 is provided in front of the waiting material hole 3-6. The movable limit plate 3-8 is connected to a driving member 3-7. The movable limit plate 3-8 is driven to move up and down by the driving member 3-7; the horizontal distance between the movable limit plate 3-8 and the top material rod 3-9 is less than the length of the rubber sleeve 4. Side baffles 3-5 are respectively arranged on both sides of the material control component 3-3.

[0028] The driving member 3-7 is fixedly connected to the material control component 3-3. In this embodiment, the driving member 3-7 is a cylinder, and the cylinder is arranged in the vertical direction.

[0029] The width of the discharging guide rail 3-2 only allows the rubber sleeves 4 to pass through one by one. There is a certain-width gap between the movable limit plate 3-8 and the material control component 3-3, such that when one end of the rubber sleeve 4 abuts against the movable limit plate 3-8, a part of the rubber sleeve 4 extends out of the material waiting hole 3-6. This extended part facilitates the clamping by the rubber sleeve clamp 2-1 on the second manipulator 2. The horizontal distance between the movable limit plate 3-8 and the ejector rod 3-9 is less than the length of the rubber sleeve 4, so as to ensure that while one end of the rubber sleeve 4 contacts the movable limit plate 3-8, the rubber sleeve 4 can also contact the ejector rod 3-9 and be tightened by the ejector rod 3-9.

[0030] The usage method of the present utility model is as follows:

[0031] The first manipulator 1 grabs the fan blade 5 and moves the fan blade 5 to the rubber sleeve mounting position, and the second manipulator 2 grabs the rubber sleeve 4 from the rubber sleeve discharging device and slews the rubber sleeve 4 onto the core shaft 5-3 of the fan blade 5; among them, the specific method for the second manipulator 2 to grab the rubber sleeve 4 from the rubber sleeve discharging device is as follows:

[0032] The rubber sleeves 4 are discharged one by one along the discharging guide rail 3-2. The rubber sleeve 4 at the forefront enters the material waiting hole 3-6. One end of the rubber sleeve 4 extends out of the material waiting hole 3-6 and contacts the movable limit plate 3-8 in the rising state, and the ejector rod 3-9 tightens the rubber sleeve 4 in the material waiting hole 3-6.

[0033] When the second manipulator 2 grabs the rubber sleeve 4, the driving part 3-7 drives the movable limit plate 3-8 to move to the descending state. The second manipulator 2 clamps the part of the rubber sleeve 4 that extends out of the material waiting hole 3-6 at the forefront through the rubber sleeve clamp, and the ejector rod 3-9 releases the rubber sleeve 4, and the second manipulator 2 moves the rubber sleeve 4 away.

[0034] After the rubber sleeve 4 is moved away, the driving part 3-7 drives the movable limit plate 3-8 to move to the rising state, and the next rubber sleeve 4 moves into the material waiting hole 3-6 until one end contacts the movable limit plate 3-8, and then the ejector rod 3-9 tightens the rubber sleeve 4 currently in the material waiting hole 3-6 and waits for the next grab by the second manipulator 2.

[0035] After the rubber sleeve 4 is slewed onto the core shaft 5-3, the first manipulator 1 transfers the fan blade 5 to the discharging position. Repeat the above operations.

[0036] It is worth mentioning that when the fan blade 5 moves to the rubber sleeve 4 mounting position, the fan blade 5 is located above the second manipulator 2, and the core shaft 5-3 on the fan blade 5 is vertically downward. After the second manipulator 2 grabs the rubber sleeve 4, it slews the rubber sleeve 4 onto the core shaft 5-3 from bottom to top.

[0037] The present utility model can automatically slew the rubber sleeve 4 onto the core shaft 5-3 of the fan blade 5 instead of manual labor, saving time and effort and reducing the labor cost.

[0038] The utility model is not limited to the above-mentioned optimal implementation mode. Any person can obtain other various forms of products under the inspiration of the utility model. However, no matter what changes are made in its shape or structure, as long as it has a technical solution that is the same as or similar to the present application, it falls within the protection scope of the utility model.
