Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of spring loading, in particular to a spring loading station of circuit breaker housing assembly equipment. Background Art
[0002] The assembly of circuit breaker housings is a crucial step in the production process. Traditional manual assembly is inefficient and prone to human error, impacting product quality and stability. The spring is a key component in this process.
[0003] A spring feeding device proposed in Chinese utility model patent application No. CN202223205139.9 includes a frame, a transverse feeding device and a longitudinal feeding device. The transverse feeding device is installed on the frame, and the longitudinal feeding device is installed above the transverse feeding device and the two are connected to each other. The longitudinal feeding device includes a shell, a pressing and blocking mechanism and a discharge mechanism. The shell has a longitudinal channel arranged along the height direction of the frame. The pressing and blocking mechanism and the discharge mechanism are installed on the frame. The pressing and blocking mechanism is located above the discharge mechanism. The output end of the pressing and blocking mechanism can press the spring in the longitudinal channel to suspend the downward movement of the stacked springs in the longitudinal channel. The output end of the discharge mechanism is telescopically arranged. The spring at the lowest end falls to the transverse feeding device by retracting the discharge mechanism. The transverse feeding device is used to transport the fallen independent springs laterally.
[0004] However, there are some shortcomings in the use of existing spring loading and still need to be improved. In the existing technology, the loading and installation of springs mainly rely on manual operation, which is not only slow but also labor-intensive, making it difficult to improve production efficiency and unable to meet the needs of large-scale production.
[0005] When assembling springs manually, due to the influence of human factors such as fatigue and lack of concentration, it is easy for the spring installation position to be inaccurate and inconsistent, thus affecting the assembly quality and performance of the product.
[0006] Existing assembly equipment is difficult to quickly adjust to different circuit breaker housing specifications and assembly requirements, lacking flexibility and limiting its application in the production of various products. Therefore, we have made improvements to this problem and proposed a spring loading station for circuit breaker housing assembly equipment. Utility Model Content

[0028] An electromagnetic vibrator 4 is provided below the vibration plate 1, a base 7 is provided on the outer surface of the electromagnetic vibrator 4, and a fixing bracket 6 is provided below the base 7. The spring-mounted pressing cylinder 19 is fixed on an L-shaped fixing bracket 20, and the L-shaped fixing bracket 20 is fixed on the vertical support beam 11.
[0029] The bottom of the vertical support beam 11 is provided with an elliptical bolt fixing hole 1101. The spring loading disc 8, loading telescopic rod 9, and spring loading cylinder 10 are mounted on the vertical adjustment slide 13. The vertical adjustment telescopic rod 14 and the vertical adjustment cylinder 15 are both mounted on the front side of the vertical support beam 11. The rear side of the vertical support beam 11 is provided with a trapezoidal plate 1102.
[0030] The ejector pin stabilizing sleeve 17 is fixed on the L-shaped fixing frame 20. The working principle of the spring loading station of the circuit breaker housing assembly equipment is as follows: Loading preparation: the spring to be assembled is placed in the feeding port 101 of the vibration plate 1.
[0031] Spring conveying: The electromagnetic vibrator 4 below the vibrating plate 1 generates vibrations, causing the spring to move upward along the spiral ascending track 2 on the inner surface of the vibrating plate 1. After reaching the end of the spiral ascending track 2, the spring enters the output track 3. The spring in the output track 3 enters the spring feeding disc 8 through the spring conveying hose 5.
[0032] Position adjustment: The up and down adjustment cylinder 15 pushes the up and down adjustment sliding frame 13 through the up and down adjustment telescopic rod 14, so that it slides up and down on the track 12 of the vertical support beam 11, thereby adjusting the height position of the spring loading installation pressing pin 16.
[0033] Spring installation: The spring loading cylinder 10 pushes the spring loading disc 8 via the loading telescopic rod 9 to move the spring to the appropriate position. The spring installation pressing cylinder 19 pushes the spring loading and installation pressing ejector 16 via the spring installation pressing telescopic rod 18, causing it to extend from the ejector stabilizing sleeve 17, and press the spring into the circuit breaker housing.
[0034] Elliptical bolt holes 1101 at the bottom of vertical support beam 11 are used to secure the entire device to a workbench, ensuring stability during operation. The spring-mounted press cylinder 19 is fixed to an L-shaped mounting bracket 20, which is fixed to vertical support beam 11 and provides support for the spring-mounted press pin.
[0035] The ejector pin stabilizing sleeve 17 is fixed to the L-shaped mounting bracket 20 to ensure the stability of the spring loading and installation ejector pin 16 during operation. The vertical adjustment telescopic rod 14 and the vertical adjustment cylinder 15 are located on the front side of the vertical support beam 11 for easy operation and control. The trapezoidal plate 1102 on the rear side of the vertical support beam 11 enhances structural stability.
[0036] Example 2: A spring loading station of a circuit breaker housing assembly device, which assembles the springs of the circuit breaker housing and pours a large number of springs from the feed port 101 above the vibration disk 1. The vibration disk 1 has a diameter of 300 mm and a height of 150 mm. The electromagnetic vibrator 4 below it vibrates at a frequency of 50 Hz, with a power of 200 W and an amplitude of 2 mm. The electromagnetic vibrator 4 is fixedly installed by a base 7 on the outer surface that is 400 mm long, 300 mm wide, and 50 mm high and a fixed bracket 6 below that is 100 mm high. Under the action of the electromagnetic vibrator 4, the spring moves upward along the spiral ascending track 2 with a pitch of 10 mm on the inner surface of the vibration disk 1 and a track 12 with a width of 8 mm. After reaching the end of the spiral ascending track 2, it enters the output track 3 with a length of 200 mm and a width of 8 mm.
[0037] The springs in the output track 3 are fed through a spring delivery hose 5 with an inner diameter of 6mm, an outer diameter of 8mm, and a length of 500mm to a spring loading disc 8 with a diameter of 100mm and a thickness of 20mm. This disc 8 is connected to a spring loading cylinder 10 with a working pressure of 0.6MPa and a cylinder diameter of 32mm via a loading telescopic rod 9 with a stroke of 50mm and a diameter of 10mm. This spring loading cylinder 10 is mounted on a vertical adjustment carriage 13. The vertical adjustment carriage 13 slides up and down along a track 12 with a length of 800mm and a width of 20mm on a vertical support beam 11. Below the vertical adjustment carriage 13, a vertical adjustment telescopic rod 14 with a stroke of 200mm and a diameter of 16mm is attached to a vertical adjustment cylinder 15 with a working pressure of 0.6MPa and a cylinder diameter of 50mm. Both components are located in front of the vertical support beam 11.
[0038] Once the spring is properly positioned, the 20mm diameter spring installation and pressing cylinder 19, operating at 0.6 MPa, is activated. This cylinder, via the 8mm diameter, 30mm stroke telescopic rod 18, pushes the 5mm diameter, 50mm long spring loading and installation pressing pin 16. This pin extends from the 6mm inner diameter, 10mm outer diameter, 30mm long pin stabilizing sleeve 17, pressing the spring into the circuit breaker housing.
[0039] The ejector pin stabilizing sleeve 17 is fixed to an L-shaped bracket 20. The L-shaped bracket 20 has a long side length of 200 mm, a short side length of 100 mm, and a thickness of 10 mm. It is fixed to the vertical support beam 11. The vertical support beam 11 is 1000 mm long, 50 mm wide, and 30 mm thick. Its bottom is equipped with an elliptical bolt fixing hole 1101 with a major axis of 20 mm and a minor axis of 10 mm, which is used to secure the entire device to the workbench. A trapezoidal plate 1102 is installed on the rear side of the vertical support beam 11 to enhance the stability of the structure.
[0040] The specific work flow of the spring loading station of the circuit breaker housing assembly equipment:
[0041] Preparation: Place the spring to be assembled into the feed port 101 of the vibrating plate 1. Fix the entire device to the workbench through the oval bolt fixing holes 1101 at the bottom of the vertical support beam 11 to ensure its stability.
[0042] Spring conveying: The electromagnetic vibrator 4 under the vibration plate 1 is activated and fixed by the base 7 and the fixing bracket 6 to generate vibration. The vibration causes the spring to move upward along the spiral ascending track 2 on the inner surface of the vibration plate 1.
[0043] After the spring reaches the end of the spiral ascending track 2, it enters the output track 3. The spring in the output track 3 is transported to the spring feeding disc 8 through the spring delivery hose 5.
[0044] Spring Position Adjustment: The vertical adjustment cylinder 15 is activated, and the vertical adjustment slide 13 is pushed up and down on the track 12 of the vertical support beam 11 via the vertical adjustment telescopic rod 14, thereby adjusting the height position of the spring loading disc 8. The spring loading cylinder 10 pushes the spring loading disc 8 via the loading telescopic rod 9, accurately delivering the spring to the installation position.
[0045] Spring Installation: When the spring reaches the installation position, spring installation pressing cylinder 19 is activated. This cylinder 19 pushes the spring loading and installation pressing ejector pin 16 through the spring installation pressing telescopic rod 18, causing it to extend from the ejector pin stabilizing sleeve 17. The spring loading and installation pressing ejector pin 16 presses the spring into the circuit breaker housing, completing the spring assembly.
[0046] Repeat operation: After completing one spring installation, all components return to their initial positions and prepare for the next spring loading and installation operation. This cycle is repeated to complete the spring assembly work of the circuit breaker housing.
