Description

[0002] In modern manufacturing, bracket products have become a key component due to their wide application in various machines and equipment. For example, Figure 2 The design of a bracket product shown requires the assembly of multiple parts, including gaskets, bearings, springs, and pressure covers.

[0003] The assembly steps for this bracket are relatively complex, requiring each component to be precisely positioned and tightened one by one. This process is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also relies on manual labor, which can lead to poor assembly precision and increase the likelihood of rework. In particular, when assembling the gland, both ends must be bent to ensure a secure lock onto the bracket. This operation requires high operator skill, and improper handling can damage the components.

[0004] Secondly, the large number of parts necessitates multiple removal and positioning steps during assembly, increasing the complexity and time-consuming nature of the entire process. In some production environments, especially for high-volume production, traditional manual assembly methods are extremely inefficient and unable to meet market demands for rapid delivery. Furthermore, manual operation poses safety risks, and prolonged, repetitive labor can easily lead to workplace accidents.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to further improve and perfect the existing technology to overcome these shortcomings, and the present invention is made based on this situation. Utility Model Content

[0028] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, this utility model proposes an automated assembly device for bracket assemblies. Its overall structural design is rational and fully functional, aiming to achieve fully automated loading and assembly of bracket assemblies. The device comprises a frame, on which are sequentially mounted bracket loading device 1, conveying device 2, gasket loading device 3, bearing loading device 4, spring loading device 5, gland loading device 6, integrated assembly device 7, clamping device 8, and unloading device 9. Each device is described in detail below.

[0030] Bracket loading device 1:

[0031] The bracket loading device 1 is responsible for conveying the bracket to be assembled to the subsequent conveying device 2. This device adopts vibration loading (such as Figure 1 ) or gravity feeding to ensure that the stents can be stably and efficiently fed to the conveyor.

[0032] Conveying device 2:

[0033] The conveyor 2 is primarily used to convey the stents to be assembled. It includes a first track groove 21 provided on the frame, within which a push rod 22 arranged along the conveying direction is slidably connected. The push rod is connected to a push actuator 23 (preferably a pneumatic cylinder), which can drive the push rod 22 to move back and forth. As the push rod 22 moves back and forth, it uses a wedge-shaped push head 251 (described later) to intermittently push the stents to be assembled forward.

[0034] The left and right side walls of the first track groove 21 are provided with limit grooves 24 for inserting the left and right ends of the bracket to be assembled and limiting its up and down movement. The design of the limit grooves 24 ensures that the bracket remains stable during the assembly process and prevents up and down movement.

[0035] The push rod 22 is provided with a plurality of receiving slots 25 evenly spaced along its conveying direction. Each of these slots is equipped with a wedge-shaped pusher head 251 that can reach behind the corresponding bracket to be assembled and push it forward. A first elastic return member 252 (preferably a spring) is provided between the pusher head 251 and the push rod 22 to elastically press the pusher head 251 upward. The push rod 22 is capable of reciprocating forward and backward movement. When the push rod 22 moves backward, the pusher head 251 retracts into the receiving slot 25 due to the action of the wedge-shaped surface. When the push rod 22 moves forward, the pusher head 251 extends and reaches behind the corresponding bracket to be assembled, pushing it forward.

[0036] Furthermore, several positioning pins 26 are provided below the first track groove 21. These positioning pins 26 are connected to a positioning actuator 261 (preferably a pneumatic cylinder) for driving the positioning pins 26 up and down. These positioning pins are designed to precisely position the bracket to be assembled. The positioning pins 26 can be inserted from the bottom up into the corresponding holes on the left and right ends of the bracket to ensure stability and accuracy during the bracket assembly process.

[0037] Integrated assembly device 7:

[0038] The integrated assembly device 7 is intended to improve assembly efficiency and accuracy. The device includes an integrated board 71, and an assembly drive assembly 72 for driving the integrated board 71 to move up and down and left and right. The assembly drive assembly 72 generally includes a front-to-back drive device (preferably a ball screw sliding module) and an up-and-down drive device (preferably a cylinder). A plurality of clamping heads are sequentially arranged on the integrated board along the conveying direction, namely a gasket clamping head 73, a bearing clamping head 74, a spring clamping head 75 and a pressure cover clamping head 76. The layout of these clamping heads is arranged in sequence along the front-to-back direction, so that they can smoothly clamp and release each component during the assembly process.

[0039] The integrated assembly device 7 can simultaneously clamp multiple components, including gaskets, bearings, springs, and glands, and assemble them onto different brackets. This design significantly improves production efficiency and significantly reduces assembly time. Furthermore, the integrated assembly process not only speeds up production but also simplifies the overall structure, eliminating the need for multiple separate devices and thus reducing equipment complexity and failure rates.

[0040] Clamping device 8:

[0041] After the assembly is completed, the function of the clamping device 8 is particularly important. The device includes a second track groove 81 that is docked with the first track groove 21, and its top and bottom are open to facilitate the entry and exit of the upper and lower pressing members. An upper pressing member 82 is provided above the second track groove, and a lower pressing member 84 is provided below, and the upper and lower parts are controlled by their respective drivers (83 and 85). The upper pressing driver 83 and the lower pressing driver 85 are preferably cylinders. An air avoidance groove 821 is provided at the center of the lower end of the upper pressing member 82 to avoid the bearing position. The upper end of the lower pressing member 84 is provided with a V-shaped pressing surface 841 for bending the two ends of the pressure cover. The V-shaped pressing surface 841 of the lower pressing member can effectively bend the two ends of the pressure cover to ensure that it is firmly locked on the bracket.

[0042] Unloading device 9:

[0043] Finally, the unloading device 9 is responsible for outputting the assembled bracket assembly from the equipment. The device includes an inclined unloading chute 91 to form an effective gravity guide. In addition, the optical detection component 92 arranged above the unloading chute can monitor the quality of the output bracket assembly in real time to ensure the smooth unloading of qualified products. In order to prevent waste generated during the assembly process, a waste chute 93 is provided on one side of the unloading chute 91, and a switching gate 94 for switching the material to fall into the two is provided between the waste chute 93 and the unloading chute 91, and the switching gate 94 is connected to a switching drive 941 (preferably a cylinder). The switching gate 94 between the waste chute 93 and the unloading chute can intelligently switch the direction of the material (according to the detection results of the optical detection component 92) to ensure the efficiency and environmental protection of the production process.

[0044] Through the close cooperation of the above-mentioned functional modules, the entire bracket component automated assembly equipment can achieve an efficient, fast and stable assembly process, significantly improve production efficiency, and improve assembly quality, meeting the modern manufacturing industry's demand for automation and high precision.
