Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile steering wheel transportation, and particularly relates to a transportation mechanism for an automobile steering wheel assembly production line. Background Art

[0002] The steering wheel is a wheel-shaped device for controlling the driving direction of an automobile. Its function is to convert the force applied by the driver to the edge of the steering wheel into torque and then transmit it to the steering shaft. The existing automobile steering wheel needs to be transported through a production line from the skeleton to the product, and gradually assembled through various processes. The side movable plate of the existing conveyor line positions the steering wheel stably through a fixed positioning rod, and is transported along the conveyor line to each process for operation. There are different ways of manual installation and robotic arm installation interspersed and coordinated in the existing assembly of each process. When assembling manually, the steering wheel needs to be removed from the side of the movable plate for assembly. After assembly, the worker needs to manually adjust the position of the steering wheel to align with the positioning rod for clamping, resulting in reduced efficiency. Moreover, it is not convenient to remove and use the steering wheel when it is clamped by the fixed positioning rod. Therefore, a transportation mechanism for an automobile steering wheel assembly production line is proposed. Content of the Utility Model

[0026] As Figures 1 to 2As shown in the figure, a transportation mechanism for an automobile steering wheel assembly line includes a mounting frame 1. The mounting frame 1 is a rectangular frame with rectangular rods equidistantly arranged on the bottom side. Inside the mounting frame 1, a conveyor line 2 is mirror - installed. On the upper side of the conveyor line 2, mounting plates 3 are movably installed at equal intervals. The mounting plate 3 is a rectangular plate with limiting plates symmetrically installed on the lower side. On the upper side of the mounting plate 3, there is a steering wheel 4. On the side of the mounting plate 3, there is a clamping component 5 that can clamp the steering wheel 4, and at the position corresponding to the steering wheel 4 on the side of the mounting plate 3, there is a positioning component 6 that can position the steering wheel 4.

[0027] Specifically, through the set clamping component 5, the steering wheel 4 can be clamped and fixed, and can drive the steering wheel 4 to rotate. Through the set positioning component 6, when the clamping component 5 drives the steering wheel 4 to rotate, it can self - sense and position itself, and then the set positioning component 6 can complete the positioning and limiting of the steering wheel 4.

[0028] As Figure 2 - Figure 6 As shown in the figure, the clamping component 5 includes a fixed block 501 fixedly installed on the upper side of the mounting plate 3. The fixed block 501 is a hollow cylindrical block with a convex - shaped cross - section. Corresponding to the position of the fixed block 501 on the lower side of the mounting plate 3, a motor 502 is fixedly installed. Inside the mounting plate 3, there is an electric push rod 503, and the driving shaft of the motor 502 is fixedly installed at the side position of the electric push rod 503. Inside the mounting plate 3, corresponding to the upper side of the electric push rod 503, there is a trigger rod 504, and the trigger rod 504 passes through the mounting plate 3 and is movably installed inside the fixed block 501. The trigger rod 504 is a cylindrical rod with a conical side. On the side of the fixed block 501, activity slots 505 are equidistantly arranged in a circumferential array and penetrate it. The activity slot 505 is a rectangular slot with a cross - shaped cross - section. Inside the activity slot 505, an activity block 506 is movably installed, and the activity block 506 extends out of the inside of the activity slot 505 to the inner side of the fixed block 501. The activity block 506 is a rectangular block with a cross - shaped cross - section and one side is beveled. Between the side of the activity block 506 and the inner wall of the activity slot 505, support blocks 507 are symmetrically fixedly installed. The support block 507 is a "W" - shaped block made of spring steel.

[0029] Specifically, the steering wheel 4 is directly sleeved on the side of the fixed block 501. The electric push rod 503 pushes the trigger rod 504 to slide inside the fixed block 501. The trigger rod 504 presses on the side of the activity block 506, causing it to slide inside the activity slot 505 and squeeze the support block 507 to deform. The activity block 506 tightens and fixes the inner side of the steering wheel 4. When the set motor 502 drives the electric push rod 503 to rotate, the steering wheel 4 can rotate synchronously. Conversely, when the electric push rod 503 pulls the trigger rod 504 to reset, the activity block 506 resets under the elastic support of the support block 507 and releases the fixation of the steering wheel 4.

[0030] As Figure 3 、Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown in and

[0031] , the positioning component 6 includes a mating block 601 fixedly installed on the lower side of the steering wheel 4. The mating block 601 is a circular reflector. A detection block 602 is provided at the corresponding position of the mating block 601 on the upper side of the mounting plate 3. The detection block 602 is a photoelectric sensor (E3FA-RN21). An activity cavity 603 is opened inside the mounting plate 3 at the position corresponding to the electric push rod 503, and the trigger rod 504 is movably installed inside the activity cavity 603. The activity cavity 603 is a cylindrical cavity with a convex cross-section. A connecting plate 604 is fixedly installed on the side of the electric push rod 503, and the connecting plate 604 is arranged inside the activity cavity 603 and fixedly connected to the side of the trigger rod 504. The connecting plate 604 is a circular plate. Positioning rods 605 penetrating the mounting plate 3 are symmetrically arranged on the inner wall of the activity cavity 603. The positioning rods 605 are cylindrical rods with a "T" - shaped cross-section. A support cylinder 606 is fixedly connected between the side of the positioning rod 605 and the inner wall of the activity cavity 603, and the support cylinder 606 is movably sleeved on the side of the positioning rod 605. The support cylinder 606 is a spring steel cylinder with a continuous "W" - shaped cross-section;

[0031] Specifically, when the clamping component 5 drives the steering wheel 4 to clamp and rotate, the detection block 602 and the mating block 601 are in the same position, so that the detection block 602 obtains a signal and feeds it back to the external controller. The controller controls the motor 502 to stop rotating. The set electric push rod 503 continues to push and operate. The connecting plate 604 is pushed by the electric push rod 503 and presses against the side of the positioning rod 605, so that the positioning rod 605 presses the support cylinder 606 to deform and insert into the inner wall of the positioning hole on the side of the steering wheel 4 to complete the limiting operation of the steering wheel 4.

[0032] In summary: By setting the clamping component 5, when a person places the steering wheel 4, it can be directly sleeved on the side of the fixed block 501. The set clamping component 5 can self - clamp and rotate to adjust the angle without manual adjustment of the placement position, improving efficiency. When the set clamping component 5 rotates, it can cooperate with the set positioning component 6 to detect the position of the steering wheel 4 and complete the self - adjustment of the position of the steering wheel 4. In addition, the set positioning component 6 can be triggered by the clamping component 5 to complete the telescopic positioning of the steering wheel 4, providing stable limitation for the steering wheel 4. When it is necessary to remove the steering wheel 4, only need to manually press the control button, then the internal positioning rod 605 of the set positioning component 6 can be retracted, and the set clamping component 5 can complete the unlocking of the steering wheel 4, facilitating the manual direct removal of the steering wheel 4. This facilitates the placement and removal of the steering wheel 4 and improves the efficiency between each process of the assembly line.
