Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of automobile seat accessory assembly, and relates to an equipment for assembling rubber sleeves on an automobile seat operating lever. Background Art
[0002] At present, the front row seats of automobiles are fixed on the sliding rails on the vehicle floor. There are two states of unlocking and locking between the front row seats and the sliding rails. The switching of the unlocking and locking states is mostly operated through an operating lever under the front row seats. Specifically, the user first pulls the operating lever, then gently moves the seat to a suitable position, and then releases the operating lever to firmly lock the seat. In order to reduce the noise when pulling the operating lever, rubber sleeves are also sleeved at both ends where the operating lever is connected to the seat during seat production. In the traditional seat production process, workers manually sleeve the rubber sleeves on both ends of the operating lever respectively. Due to a certain resistance of the rubber sleeve during the sleeving process, workers need to apply force to move the rubber sleeve, which is time-consuming and laborious. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an equipment for assembling rubber sleeves on an automobile seat operating lever in view of the above problems existing in the prior art. The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is how to improve the efficiency of assembling rubber sleeves on the seat operating lever.
[0004] The purpose of the utility model can be achieved by the following technical solutions:
[0005] An equipment for assembling rubber sleeves on an automobile seat operating lever, including a frame. It is characterized in that two support columns are vertically arranged on the frame, and support blocks are respectively arranged above the two support columns. A pneumatic gripper is also arranged between the support column and the support block on the same side. The upper end of the support column has a positioning groove, and a pressing block is rotatably arranged on the front side wall of the positioning groove, and the pressing block has a tendency to swing towards the support block. A pressing plate that can move up and down relative to the frame is also arranged on the frame, and the pressing plate is located directly above the two support blocks.
[0006] When the equipment for assembling rubber sleeves on an automobile seat operating lever is in use, workers only need to place the operating lever in the positioning groove of the support column. The pressing block can automatically press against the handle of the operating lever to make it abut against the support block, and make the end of the handle of the operating lever vertically upward. At the same time, the pneumatic gripper can clamp the handle of the operating lever to keep its end vertically upward, so as to realize the positioning of the operating lever. Workers only need to pre-install the rubber sleeve on the handle of the operating lever, and then the pressing plate moves downward along the vertical direction to press the rubber sleeve, so that the end of the rubber sleeve pre-installed on the operating lever abuts against the handle of the operating lever. At this time, the rubber sleeve cannot move further downward, so that the rubber sleeve is finally sleeved on the predetermined part of the operating lever, which can replace manual sleeving of the rubber sleeve on the operating lever, greatly reducing the labor intensity of workers and significantly improving the efficiency of assembling rubber sleeves on the seat operating lever.
[0007] In the above-mentioned rubber sleeve assembling device for a vehicle seat joystick, a relief notch is formed in the front side wall of the positioning groove. A rotating shaft is arranged on the side wall of the relief notch. The pressing block is arranged in the relief notch and its lower end is connected to the rotating shaft. A torsion spring is sleeved on the rotating shaft. One torsion arm of the torsion spring is connected to the front side wall of the pressing block, and the other torsion arm is connected to the side wall of the relief notch. By arranging the rotating shaft and the torsion spring, the pressing block can swing back and forth better, facilitating the positioning of the joystick and the removal of the joystick after press-fitting.
[0008] In the above-mentioned rubber sleeve assembling device for a vehicle seat joystick, the positioning groove is arc-shaped, the pressing surface of the pressing block is arc-shaped, and the upper side wall of the supporting block has a supporting surface that is inclined from bottom to top and from front to back, and the supporting surface is perpendicular to the plane where the two jaws of the pneumatic jaw on the same side are located. The above structure enables the pressing block to better press the handle of the joystick against the supporting surface of the supporting block under the action of the torsion spring. Coupled with the clamping action of the pneumatic jaw, the handle of the joystick is better vertically arranged, so that the pressing plate can better press the rubber sleeve in place.
[0009] In the above-mentioned rubber sleeve assembling device for a vehicle seat joystick, a first cylinder is arranged on the frame. The output shaft of the first cylinder is vertically arranged and connected to the middle part of the pressing plate. Both ends of the pressing plate respectively have fixing grooves with the openings facing downwards, and the two fixing grooves are respectively arranged opposite to the two supporting blocks up and down. By connecting the output shaft of the first cylinder to the middle part of the pressing plate, the first cylinder can drive the pressing plate to move up and down better. At the same time, by arranging the fixing grooves, the groove walls of the fixing grooves can play a role in limiting the movement of the rubber sleeve, enabling the pressing plate to better press the rubber sleeve in place.
[0010] In the above-mentioned rubber sleeve assembling device for a vehicle seat joystick, limit blocks adjacent to the positioning groove are also arranged on the supporting columns. The two limit blocks are respectively arranged on the left side wall of the left supporting column and the right side wall of the right supporting column. The two limit blocks can form a lateral movement limit for the joystick, thereby further improving the positioning effect during the sleeving of the joystick.
[0011] In the above-mentioned rubber sleeve assembling device for a vehicle seat joystick, a second cylinder and a positioning block are also arranged adjacent to each other front and back on the frame. The front side wall of the positioning block has a positioning surface that is inclined from bottom to top and from front to back, and the output shaft of the second cylinder is vertically arranged and can form a positioning space with the positioning surface. By arranging the second cylinder and the positioning block in cooperation, on the one hand, the positioning effect during the sleeving of the joystick can be further enhanced, and on the other hand, it is also convenient for workers to remove the joystick with the rubber sleeve sleeved.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this automotive seat joystick assembly rubber sleeve equipment are as follows: This automotive seat joystick assembly rubber sleeve equipment can replace manual labor in sleeving rubber sleeves onto the joystick, greatly reducing the labor intensity of workers and significantly improving the efficiency of assembling rubber sleeves on the seat joystick.

A pressing plate 6 that can move up and down relative to the frame 1 is also arranged on the frame 1, and the pressing plate 6 is located directly above the two support blocks 3.
[0023] Specifically, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 , a first cylinder 10 is arranged on the frame 1. The output shaft of the first cylinder 10 is vertically arranged and connected to the middle of the pressing plate 6. Both ends of the pressing plate 6 respectively have fixing grooves 6a with the notch facing downwards, and the two fixing grooves 6a are respectively arranged up and down opposite to the two support blocks 3; a relief notch 7 is opened on the front side wall of the positioning groove 2a, a rotating shaft 8 is arranged on the side wall of the relief notch 7, the pressing block 5 is arranged in the relief notch 7 and its lower end is connected to the rotating shaft 8, and a torsion spring 9 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 8. One torsion arm of the torsion spring 9 is connected to the front side wall of the pressing block 5, and the other torsion arm is connected to the side wall of the relief notch 7.
[0024] In this embodiment, it is preferred that the positioning groove 2a is arc-shaped, the pressing surface of the pressing block 5 is arc-shaped, the upper side wall of the support block 3 has a support surface 3a that is inclined from bottom to top and from front to back, and the support surface 3a is perpendicular to the plane where the two jaws of the air gripper 4 on the same side are located; it is preferred that a limiting block 11 adjacent to the positioning groove 2a is also arranged on the support column 2, and the two limiting blocks 11 are respectively arranged on the left side wall of the left support column 2 and the right side wall of the right support column 2.
[0025] Furthermore, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 , a second cylinder 12 and a positioning block 13 are arranged adjacent to each other front and back on the frame 1.
