Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of gluing devices, and in particular to an automatic gluing device for a gear ring. Background Art

[0002] Ring gear gluing is a crucial step in the production process. Its primary function and purpose is to enhance the ring's sealing, protection, and stability by evenly coating the ring with glue. Specifically, ring gear gluing effectively prevents dust, moisture, and other impurities from entering the ring, protecting the internal structure and lubricant, and extending the service life of the ring and related components. Furthermore, gluing increases friction, preventing the ring from loosening due to vibration or impact during operation, thereby ensuring stable equipment operation. The elasticity of the glue layer absorbs vibration and noise, reducing the noise and vibration generated by the ring during operation and improving equipment smoothness. Some specialized glues have anti-corrosion properties, and gluing protects the ring surface from moisture, rust, and chemical corrosion, thereby increasing its durability. Gluing also strengthens the connection between the ring and other components, ensuring stable operation under high loads or harsh operating conditions.

[0003] During the ring gear production process, traditional gluing relies primarily on manual labor, which presents numerous shortcomings. First, the process is complex, time-consuming, and labor-intensive. Workers must place individual ring gears into a fixed chuck for securement, then manually rotate the chuck and apply the glue. This method not only increases labor intensity but also significantly reduces gluing efficiency. Second, manual gluing often yields unsatisfactory results. Because manual rotation of the ring gear is difficult to maintain, speed deviations can easily occur during the gluing process, leading to gaps in the glue, incomplete glue, or uneven glue application. This not only affects the ring gear's sealing and protective properties, but can also reduce its service life and reliability. Furthermore, the existing gluing process is highly labor-intensive and lacks mechanization, resulting in overall low efficiency. Workers are required to perform repetitive, intensive manual labor for long periods of time, which not only reduces production efficiency but also easily causes fatigue, further impacting gluing quality and production cadence. Finally, when producing ring gears of different specifications, mold changeovers are required. This mold changeover process also relies heavily on manual adjustment of the jaws to the appropriate position and calibration. This process is time-consuming and labor-intensive, increasing production line downtime and reducing overall production efficiency.

[0004] In summary, the existing technology has many problems in the process of ring gear gluing, such as complex operation process, time-consuming and labor-intensive, poor gluing effect, waste of labor resources, low efficiency, and time-consuming and labor-intensive changeover. The main reason for these problems is the excessive reliance on manual operation, the lack of application of automated equipment and optimization of process flow. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new type of automatic ring gear gluing device to improve the efficiency and quality of gluing and reduce manual labor. Utility Model Content

[0011] Furthermore, the floating chuck includes a base and a clamping portion engaged with the base via a guide rod and a spring.

The terms "include," "comprise," and "contain" as used in this specification indicate the presence of the claimed features, but do not exclude the presence of one or more additional features. The term "and / or" as used in this specification includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. Example

[0040] like Figure 1-11 As shown, this embodiment discloses an exemplary structure of an automatic gluing device for a gear ring. In terms of structural composition, it includes a chassis 1, a clamping component 2, a gluing component 3 and a controller 4 for controlling the operation of the clamping component 2 and the gluing component 3. The overall structure is compact and easy to operate, thereby realizing the automatic gluing operation of the gear ring.

[0041] In this embodiment, the chassis 1 has an opening on one side for accessing the ring gear 5. Barriers 101 are provided on both sides of the opening to prevent people and objects from entering during operation, ensuring safety. A cooling fan 102 is installed on the chassis 1 to dissipate heat from the interior of the chassis 1 and ensure stability during long-term operation.

[0042] In this embodiment, the material clamping assembly 2 is vertically mounted in the chassis 1 via a hollow bearing and can be rotated. The material clamping assembly 2 is driven to rotate by the rotation drive assembly 6 .

[0043] Specifically, the clamping assembly 2 comprises a clamping tray 201, three clamping heads arranged around the clamping tray 201, and a clamping drive mechanism 202 that drives the three clamping heads to move synchronously along the radial direction of the clamping tray. The clamping tray 201 is supported by a hollow bearing and mounted on the inner side of the back panel of the chassis 1, ensuring stability and precision during rotation.

[0044] In the above structure, two of the three clamps are fixed clamps 203, and one is a floating clamp 204. The fixed clamps 203 and floating clamp 204 slide together via radial guides 205 provided on the clamping plate 201. The floating clamp 204 is a resilient clamping unit consisting of a clamping block and a base. The clamping block engages the base via guide rods and springs, allowing it to accommodate gear rings 5 ​​of varying specifications. Both the fixed clamp 203 and floating clamp 204 feature toothed structures for clamping the gear ring 5, ensuring stability and reliability during the clamping process.

[0045] As will be appreciated, floating chuck 204 plays a crucial role in the clamping process. Working with the base via a guide rod and spring, it provides a degree of elastic adjustment during the clamping process, preventing damage to the ring gear 5 caused by excessive clamping force, thereby preventing out-of-round deformation of the ring gear 5. This ensures a secure clamping process without damaging the ring gear, thereby enhancing the device's usability and safety.

[0046] In the above structure, the clamping drive mechanism 202 includes a drive motor 206, a drive gear 207 and a screw rod 208. The drive motor 206 drives the drive gear 207 to rotate, thereby driving the screw rod 208 to rotate.

[0047] In the specific structure, the drive gear 207 of the clamping drive mechanism 202 is inserted through the hollow center of the hollow bearing and engages with each screw 208. The screw 208 is mounted and fixed by a screw support provided on the clamping plate 201. The screw 208 cooperates with the nut set in the chuck, converting rotational motion into linear motion, driving the chuck along the radial guide rail to clamp and release the ring gear 5.

[0048] In this embodiment, the gluing assembly 3 comprises a mounting base 301, a Y-axis motion mechanism 302 that drives the mounting base 301 in linear motion along the Y direction, and a gluing module 303 mounted on the mounting base 301. The Y-axis motion mechanism 302 is controlled by a controller 4 and comprises a motor, a lead screw, a screw sleeve, a slider, a guide rod, and other components to drive the mounting base 301 in linear motion along the Y direction.

[0049] In this embodiment, the glue dispensing module 303 is also controlled by the controller 4 and includes a glue injection mechanism, a glue delivery mechanism 305, and a glue dispensing head 306. The glue injection mechanism consists of a glue cartridge 304 storing glue and a glue pusher piston. The glue pusher piston is driven by a glue pusher cylinder 305, pushing glue from the glue cartridge 304 to the glue delivery mechanism. The glue delivery mechanism 305 uses a screw pump to deliver glue from the glue cartridge 304 to the glue dispensing head 306 through a pipeline, ensuring continuous and stable glue delivery.

[0050] More specifically, the gluing head 306 is capable of telescopic movement along the Z-axis, cooperating with the glue feeding mechanism to precisely apply glue to the ring gear 5. A photoelectric sensor 307 is mounted on the gluing head 306 to detect the position of the ring gear 5 and transmit the detection results to the controller 4. Based on the feedback from the photoelectric sensor 307, the controller 4 adjusts the position and amount of glue applied by the gluing head 306 in real time to ensure uniform and accurate glue application. The design of the photoelectric sensor 307 allows for real-time detection of the specific position of the ring gear 5, ensuring that the gluing head 306 always applies glue in the correct position.

[0051] In addition, as a further optimization, a flow detection module is provided between the gluing head 306 and the connecting pipe of the screw pump to monitor the flow of glue in real time and feed the data back to the controller 4 to achieve precise control of the gluing process.

[0052] Based on the above structural description, during operation, the ring gear 5 is first placed in the clamping tray 201, and the fixed clamp 203 and the floating clamp 204 move along the radial guide rail through the clamping drive mechanism 202 to firmly clamp the ring gear 5.

[0053] Then, the controller 4 starts the rotary drive assembly 6, causing the clamping plate 201 to drive the ring gear 5 to rotate. At the same time, under the instruction of the controller 4, the gluing assembly 3 adjusts its position on the Y and Z axes, and drives the gluing head 306 to perform precise gluing operations on the surface of the ring gear 5. In the above process, the position is confirmed by the photoelectric sensor 307 detecting the position of the ring gear 5 in real time. The controller 4 adjusts the position and amount of glue applied by the gluing head according to the feedback of the sensor to ensure that the glue is evenly applied to the ring gear 5. The flow detection module monitors the glue flow in real time to ensure the continuity and stability of the gluing process. After the gluing is completed, the clamp releases the ring gear, and the device can proceed to the next cycle of gluing operation.
