[0027] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments so that those skilled in the art can better understand the present invention and implement it. However, the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention. Example

[0028] Reference Figure 1 and 2 As shown, in one embodiment of the present utility model, a rubber sealing ring assembly device is disclosed, which includes a feeding mechanism 3, a transfer mechanism 2, a rotary pushing mechanism 1, and a wire harness transfer mechanism 4. The feeding mechanism 3 conveys the sealing ring to the transfer mechanism 2, and the transfer mechanism 2 pushes the sealing ring onto the rotary pushing mechanism 1. The wire harness transfer mechanism 4 is used to fix and transfer the wire harness. The rotary pushing mechanism 1 rotates to align the sealing ring coaxially with the wire harness and pushes the sealing ring onto the wire harness to complete the assembly. The feeding mechanism 3 includes a storage box for storing the sealing ring and a vibration disk that conveys the sealing ring to the transfer mechanism 2 by vibration. The rotary pushing mechanism 1 includes,

[0029] Support 18;

[0030] The pushing assembly is arranged on the support 18, and the pushing assembly includes a first mounting plate 12, a first pushing plate 14, a feeding tube 13 and a first motor 11. The first pushing plate 14, the feeding tube 13 and the first motor 11 are all arranged on the first mounting plate 12, and the first pushing plate 14 is perpendicular to the feeding tube 13, wherein the first pushing plate 14 is provided with a first through hole 141, and the feeding tube 13 passes through and is slidably connected to the first through hole 141, and the gap between the first through hole 141 and the feeding tube 13 is extremely small. Before assembly, one or more sealing rings can be sleeved on the outside of the feeding tube 13. During assembly, the first motor 11 drives the first pushing plate 14 to move along the length direction of the feeding tube 13, and the first pushing plate 14 pushes the sealing ring to slide relative to the feeding tube 13 to complete the transition from the feeding tube 13 to the wiring harness. The inner diameter of the feeding tube 13 is at least equal to the diameter of the wiring harness, so that the wiring harness can be passed through the feeding tube 13 so that the sealing ring can move to different positions of the wiring harness;

[0031] A rotating assembly is provided on the support 18 via a second mounting plate 17. The rotating assembly is used to drive the pushing assembly to rotate horizontally, so that the free end 131 of the material taking tube 13 can rotate between the transfer mechanism 2 and the harness transfer mechanism 4 to complete the taking and transfer of the sealing ring. The rotation angle is 90 degrees. In other embodiments, the rotation angle can be any angle.

[0032] The transverse movement assembly is arranged on the support 18. The transverse movement assembly drives the second mounting plate 17 to move. Indirectly, the second mounting plate 17 drives the rotation assembly and the pushing assembly to move along the first direction X. The first direction X is the horizontal direction.

[0033] Reference Figure 4 As shown, the wire harness transfer mechanism 4 includes a bracket 41, a third mounting plate 43 slidingly connected to the bracket 41 along the vertical direction Z, and a clamping assembly 44 and a second motor 42 arranged on the third mounting plate 43. The clamping assembly 44 is used to clamp the wire harness extending along the first direction X, and the second motor 42 drives the clamping assembly 44 to rise and fall to adjust the wire harness to align with the feeding tube 13, and complete the taking and placing of the wire harness.

[0034] Reference Figure 4As shown, the clamping assembly 44 includes two clamping jaws spaced apart along the first direction X, which clamp different positions of a wire harness by the two clamping jaws to ensure the horizontality of the wire harness and prevent the wire harness from bending or tilting; each clamping jaw is equipped with a clamping jaw cylinder 441, and the clamping jaw includes a first claw body 442 and a second claw body 443 arranged opposite each other. The clamping jaw cylinder 441 is used to drive the first claw body 442 and the second claw body 443 to open and close to release or clamp the wire harness. In order to ensure that the wire harness falls smoothly after the first claw body 442 and the second claw body 443 are opened, the inner sides of the first claw body 442 and the second claw body 443 are both concave to form a V-shaped structure, that is, the wire harness is jointly supported by two inclined surfaces.

[0035] Furthermore, the wire harness transfer mechanism 4 also includes a third motor (not shown in the drawings), which is used to drive the clamping assembly 44, the third mounting plate 43, and the second motor 42 to move along the second direction Y, so as to further adjust the position of the wire harness and transfer the wire harness to the next workstation.

[0036] Reference Figure 3 As shown, the transfer mechanism 2 includes a transfer rod 23 extending along the second direction Y, a second push plate 24 perpendicular to the transfer rod 23, a fourth motor 22 and a fifth motor 21, wherein the second push plate 24 is provided with a second through hole 241, the transfer rod 23 passes horizontally and is slidably connected to the second through hole 241, and the gap between the second through hole 241 and the transfer rod 23 is extremely small. The sealing ring of the feeding mechanism 3 will be pre-installed on the outside of the transfer rod 23. When the feeding tube 13 and the transfer rod 23 are located in the same straight line, the fourth motor 22 drives the transfer rod 23, the second push plate 24 and the fifth motor 21 to move along the second direction Y so that the transfer rod 23 and the feeding tube 13 are first docked, and then the fifth motor 21 drives the second push plate 24 to move along the length direction of the transfer rod 23 to push the sealing ring on the transfer rod 23 into the feeding tube 13. Here, the second direction Y is a horizontal direction and perpendicular to the first direction X.

[0037] Reference Figure 3 As shown, the transfer mechanism 2 also includes a material receiving seat 25 and a sixth motor 26. The material receiving seat 25 is provided with a material receiving groove 253 on the top, and the groove walls on both sides of the material receiving groove 253 along the second direction Y are provided with avoidance openings 252. The sixth motor 26 is used to drive the material receiving seat 25 to rise and fall to the waiting height and the material receiving height. When the material receiving seat 25 is at the waiting height, it is located directly below the transfer rod 23 and forms an avoidance with the second push plate 24, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, when the material receiving seat 25 is at the material receiving height, the material receiving seat 25 and the transfer rod 23 are located on the same plane and the transfer rod 23 is aligned with the two avoidance openings 252, and the material receiving groove 253 is just aligned with the material conveying channel receiving sealing ring of the vibration plate.

[0038] Reference Figure 5 As shown, a blocking portion 251 is provided at one end of the material receiving trough 253, and the blocking portion 251 is configured to block the movement of the sealing ring when it contacts the sealing ring located in the material receiving trough 253, so that the sealing ring is stationary at a position where the center hole is exactly aligned with the avoidance opening 252, so that the transfer rod 23 passes through the center hole of the sealing ring.

[0039] Reference Figure 5 As shown, the material receiving trough 253 extends along the first direction X, and the sealing ring of the feeding mechanism 3 rolls horizontally into the material receiving trough 253 along the first direction X. In other embodiments, the sealing ring of the feeding mechanism 3 can roll vertically downward into the material receiving trough 253.

[0040] Reference Figure 2 and 3 As shown, in order to accurately pass through the central hole of the sealing ring, the outer diameters of the material taking tube 13 and the free end 231 of the transfer rod 23 are gradually reduced.

[0041] Reference Figure 2 As shown, since the feeding tube 13 is long, the feeding tube 13 is prone to shaking when the pushing assembly rotates or moves linearly. In order to reduce the shaking of the feeding tube 13, the support 18 is fixed with a shock-absorbing plate 15. The shock-absorbing plate 15 is configured to abut the first push plate 14 in a length direction perpendicular to the feeding tube 13 when the feeding tube 13 is coaxial with the wiring harness, so as to reduce the shaking of the first push plate 14 and the feeding tube 13. In other embodiments, the shock-absorbing plate 15 can directly abut the side wall of the feeding tube 13.

[0042] Reference Figure 2 As shown, further, the rotation assembly and the transverse movement assembly include a seventh motor 16 and an eighth motor 19 respectively. The seventh motor 16 is used to drive the first mounting plate 12 to rotate, and the eighth motor 19 is used to drive the second mounting plate 17 to move.

[0043] The working principle of the rubber sealing ring assembly device of the utility model is:

[0044] After the material receiving seat 25 rises to the material receiving height, each time a sealing ring of the feeding mechanism 3 enters the material receiving groove 253, the fourth motor 22 drives the transfer rod 23 to move for the first time along the second direction Y, so that the transfer rod 23 passes through the avoidance opening 252 and the center hole of the sealing ring, and finally the sealing ring is sleeved on the outside of the transfer rod 23, and then the rotating assembly drives the pushing assembly to rotate 90 degrees counterclockwise to ensure that the material taking tube 13 is aligned with the transfer rod 23. The material receiving seat 25 descends to the waiting height, and the fourth motor 22 drives the transfer rod 23 to move for the second time along the second direction Y and dock with the material taking tube 13. Then, the fifth motor 21 drives the second push plate 24 to move. The second push plate 24 pushes the sealing ring to disengage from the transfer rod 23 until it is sleeved outside the feeding tube 13. Then, the rotating assembly drives the pushing assembly to rotate 90 degrees clockwise to ensure that the feeding tube 13 is aligned with the wiring harness. The transverse movement assembly drives the feeding tube 13 to move along the first direction X and sleeved outside the wiring harness until the sealing ring reaches the predetermined position of the wiring harness and stops. Then, the first motor 11 drives the first push plate 14 to move along the first direction X. The first push plate 14 pushes the sealing ring to disengage from the feeding tube 13 and finally sleeved on the wiring harness to complete the assembly. Then, the transverse movement assembly drives the pushing assembly to retreat, and the feeding tube 13 is separated from the wiring harness, ready for the next assembly, and this cycle is repeated.

[0045] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for clarity of explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that other variations or modifications based on the above descriptions are possible. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all implementation methods here. Obvious variations or modifications arising therefrom remain within the scope of protection of the present invention.
