Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of steel needle assembly, in particular to a steel needle guiding device. Background Art

[0002] In the field of steel needle assembly, a precise and efficient process is crucial for improving product quality and production efficiency. Traditionally, needle assembly relies heavily on manual labor, which not only increases labor costs but also limits accuracy and efficiency due to human precision and fatigue. The limitations of manual assembly are particularly pronounced in applications requiring high precision.

[0003] While there are existing tools and methods for needle assembly, most are complex, cumbersome, or lack sufficient automation, failing to effectively meet the modern manufacturing industry's demand for efficient and precise assembly. For example, some traditional guide devices may require the operator to manually adjust the needle's position, which is not only inefficient but also poses a safety hazard.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a device that can automatically and accurately complete the assembly and guidance of the steel needle to improve assembly efficiency, reduce labor costs, and ensure the stability and consistency of assembly quality. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the utility model provides a steel needle guiding device, which drives the guide needle to move up and down by the telescopic cylinder, and drives the finger block to open and close by the clamping cylinder. The steel needle passes through the steel needle guide column and the inner hole of the guide needle. The steel needle is installed in place by gravity, and finally the guiding assembly of the steel needle is completed. This function ultimately improves efficiency and reduces personnel costs.

[0006] The technical solution of the utility model is as follows:

[0007] A steel needle guide device includes a base plate, a guide needle and a steel needle guide post. The steel needle guide post is fixedly mounted on the base plate, the guide needle can be movably mounted on the base plate in the vertical direction, the guide needle is arranged below the steel needle guide post, concentric through holes for the steel needle to pass through are provided on the steel needle guide post and the guide needle, a steel needle tail clamping device is provided between the guide needle and the steel needle guide post, and the steel needle tail clamping device is mounted on the base plate; precise guiding of the steel needle is achieved through the combination of the base plate, the guide needle and the steel needle guide post; the concentric through holes on the steel needle guide post and the guide needle ensure the stability of the steel needle during the insertion process, and the steel needle tail clamping device further ensures the firmness of the steel needle during the assembly process, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of steel needle assembly as a whole.

[0008] A guide needle moving drive device is installed on the base plate; by installing the guide needle moving drive device on the base plate, the automatic movement of the guide needle is realized, thereby reducing the need for manual operation and improving the degree of automation and work efficiency of assembly.

[0009] The guide needle movement drive mechanism consists of a guide needle mounting plate and a telescopic drive element. The guide needle is fixed to the plate, which is connected to the base plate via the telescopic drive element. The combination of the guide needle mounting plate and the telescopic drive element enables stable and precise movement of the guide needle. The telescopic drive element provides the power source, while the guide needle mounting plate ensures stability and accuracy during movement.

[0010] The telescopic driving element is a telescopic cylinder. The fixed seat of the telescopic cylinder is fixedly installed on the base plate, and the guide needle mounting plate is fixedly connected to the telescopic push plate of the telescopic cylinder. The telescopic cylinder is used as the telescopic driving element, which has the advantages of simple structure, easy operation and fast response speed. The stability and reliability of the telescopic cylinder ensure the accuracy and stability of the guide needle movement.

[0011] The steel needle tail clamping device comprises two finger blocks and a clamping drive element for driving the two finger blocks to clamp or release, thereby achieving firm clamping of the steel needle tail.

[0012] The clamping drive element is a claw cylinder, and the two finger blocks are fixedly connected to the claws of the claw cylinder; the claw cylinder as a clamping drive element has the advantages of large clamping force, fast response speed, and easy control; through the drive of the claw cylinder, the two finger blocks can quickly and accurately clamp the tail of the steel needle, thereby improving assembly efficiency.

[0013] An elastic material layer is provided on the inner side surfaces of the two finger blocks; providing the elastic material layer on the inner side surfaces of the two finger blocks can increase the friction between the finger blocks and the tail of the steel needle, preventing the steel needle from slipping or shifting during the assembly process; at the same time, the elastic material layer can also play a buffering role to protect the steel needle from damage.

[0014] The elastic material layer is a rubber pad.

[0015] Grooves matching the shape of the steel needle are provided on the inner side surfaces of the two finger blocks; by providing grooves matching the shape of the steel needle on the inner side surfaces of the finger blocks, the clamping force and stability of the finger blocks on the steel needle can be further improved; it can ensure that the steel needle will not be offset or fall off due to external force during the assembly process, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the assembly.

[0016] The inner side surfaces of the two matching finger blocks are set to a rough surface; this can increase the contact area and friction between the finger blocks and the tail of the steel needle, thereby improving the clamping effect; and can ensure that the steel needle is firmly fixed between the finger blocks during the assembly process and is not easy to slip or deviate.

[0017] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0018] 1. The utility model discloses a steel needle guiding device, which ensures the precise positioning of the steel needle during the assembly process by providing a steel needle guide post and a guide needle, and the concentric through holes on the two. When the steel needle passes through the two concentric through holes, it can maintain a stable posture, thereby greatly improving the assembly accuracy.

[0019] 2. The utility model discloses a steel needle guide device, in which a telescopic cylinder drives the guide needle to move up and down, and cooperates with a clamping cylinder to drive a finger block to clamp or release the tail of the steel needle, thereby realizing the automatic assembly of the steel needle; this automated process significantly reduces manual intervention, improves assembly efficiency, and reduces labor costs.

[0020] 3. The utility model discloses a steel needle guiding device, in which the guide needle mounting plate and the telescopic cylinder are firmly connected, and the clamping cylinder and the finger block are reliably matched, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the device during operation; enabling the steel needle to stably pass through the through hole and be accurately clamped during assembly, thereby avoiding assembly errors caused by unstable device.

[0021] 4. The utility model discloses a steel needle guide device, which is provided with an elastic material layer (such as a rubber pad) or a groove matching the shape of the steel needle, as well as a rough surface design on the inner side surfaces of the two matching finger blocks. This not only increases the friction between the finger blocks and the tail of the steel needle, ensuring the stability of the steel needle during the assembly process, but also effectively protects the surface of the steel needle from scratches or wear.
