DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] In order to facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art, the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a spring automatic assembly device includes a bracket, two spring discharging barrels 1 are provided above the bracket, and a discharge port is provided on one side of the two spring discharging barrels 1, and the discharge port is connected to a discharge pipe. High-pressure gas can be blown into the spring discharging barrel 1 of the utility model, and an air outlet with a filter is provided on the top. The gas will stir and separate the spring in the spring discharging barrel 1, so that the spring is discharged through the discharge pipe. The discharging principle of the above-mentioned spring discharging barrel 1 has long been existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0034] The discharge end of the discharge pipe of the utility model is connected to a spring dividing mechanism 2, which can realize orderly discharge of the springs. The discharge end of the spring dividing mechanism 2 is provided with a vertical dropping pipe 3. Specifically, the spring dividing mechanism 2 drops the spring at the lower end into the dropping pipe 3, and the upper spring will be clamped, thereby realizing individual distribution of the spring.

[0035] It also includes a support. The support of the utility model is located at the bottom of the spring discharging barrel 1. A product clamp 9 is provided on the support. The product clamp 9 can position and clamp the product 100. A transverse gradient chute 4 is provided on the supports on both sides of the product clamp 9. The spring can enter the spring installation position on both sides of the product 100 after axial compression from the transverse gradient chute 4. The height of the transverse gradient chute 4 gradually decreases along the spring conveying direction. A feed hole 14 is provided above the end of the transverse gradient chute 4 away from the product 100. The bottom of the blanking pipe 3 coincides with the feed hole 14, and the spring vertically enters the transverse gradient chute 4 through the feed hole 14.

[0036] The utility model further provides a transverse moving push rod 5 in the transverse gradual chute 4, which can move laterally along the transverse gradual chute 4 and can move horizontally perpendicular to the transverse gradual chute 4. A groove 15 is provided at the end of the transverse moving push rod 5. After the spring falls into the transverse gradual chute 4, it is positioned by the groove 15 at the end of the transverse moving push rod 5. Specifically, the vertical spring enters the groove 15, and the movement of the transverse moving push rod 5 drives the vertical spring to move and compress simultaneously in the transverse gradual chute 4.

[0037] A lifting manipulator 11 is provided above the product fixture 9. The manipulator 11 is connected to the bottom of the bracket, and is provided with levers 13 on both sides of the manipulator 11. A socket 102 is provided on each of the movable plates 101 on both sides of the product 100. The socket 102 is larger than the diameter of the levers 13 and is close to the lower positioning platform 105 at the end of the movable plate 101. When the manipulator 11 is lowered to a certain distance above the product fixture 9 and opened, the two levers 13 can be inserted into the sockets 102. When the manipulator 11 is raised, it can drive the movable plate 101 to swing, causing the lower positioning platform 105 at the end of the movable plate 101 to move upward, thereby leaving enough space for the spring to enter.

[0038] The support of the present invention is provided with a drag seat 8 which slides horizontally in a straight line. The moving direction of the drag seat 8 is perpendicular to the lateral moving direction of the lateral moving push rod 5 . The lateral moving push rod 5 and the lateral gradual sliding groove 4 are both provided on the drag seat 8 .

[0039] Specifically, the support is connected to a first cylinder 7, which can drive the dragging seat 8 to slide linearly on the support. Second cylinders 6 are provided on both sides of the upper end surface of the dragging seat 8, and the second cylinders 6 can drive the lateral movement push rod 5 to move horizontally.

[0040] The lower wall of the transversely gradient chute 4 of the present invention can abut against the lower plate 104 at the spring mounting location of the product 100; the lower wall at the end of the transversely gradient chute 4 near the product 100 is at the same height as the lower plate 104 at the spring mounting location of the product 100. The upper wall of the transversely gradient chute 4 can extend between the upper plate 103 and the lower plate 104 at the spring mounting location of the product 100; the upper wall at the end of the transversely gradient chute 4 near the product 100 is lower than the height of the bottom of the lower positioning platform 105 when the movable plate 101 of the product 100 is raised.

[0041] The toggle manipulator 11 of the present invention is connected to a third cylinder 12 , which is connected to the bottom of the bracket. The third cylinder 12 can drive the toggle manipulator 11 to move up and down.

[0042] Sensors 10 are provided on both sides of the support, and the sensors 10 can detect whether the spring enters the transverse gradient chute 4 through the feed port.

[0043] The specific assembly process of this utility model:

[0044] The springs in the spring discharging barrel 1 are discharged in sequence through the discharging pipe, and then enter the spring distributing mechanism 2, which is used to realize individual spring distribution;

[0045] The spring falls through the blanking pipe 3 of the spring distributing mechanism 2 and enters the transverse gradient chute 4 through the feed hole 14. Before this, the first cylinder 7 and the second cylinder 6 drive the transverse movable push rod 5 to move so that the groove 15 of the transverse movable push rod 5 is located below the feed hole 14. When the spring falls into the transverse gradient chute 4, it also enters the groove 15.

[0046] The second cylinder 6 moves, driving the lateral push rod 5 to move, and the spring moves along the lateral gradient chute 4 in the groove 15. The spring is gradually compressed during this movement.

[0047] Before the spring enters the spring installation position of the product 100, the third cylinder 12 drives the toggle manipulator 11 to descend to a certain distance above the product fixture 9 and opens the toggle manipulator 11. The two toggle pins 13 are inserted into the sockets 102, and the toggle manipulator 11 rises, which can drive the movable plate 101 to swing and move the lower positioning platform 105 at the end of the movable plate 101 upward, thereby leaving enough space for the spring to enter;

[0048] As the spring enters the spring installation position of the product 100, the first cylinder 7 is actuated, driving the lateral moving push rod 5 away from the lateral gradient chute 4, and at the same time the manipulator 11 is toggled to close, the two shifting posts 13 are removed from the sockets 102, the movable plate 101 is automatically lowered, and the lower positioning platform 105 at the end of the movable plate 101 enters the inner circle of the upper end of the spring;

[0049] Finally, the second cylinder 6 and the first cylinder 7 drive the transverse moving push rod 5 to move, so that the groove 15 of the transverse moving push rod 5 is located below the feed hole 14, ready for the assembly of the next product 100 and the spring.
