Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of automated production, in particular to an assembly crimping device and an automatic assembly system. Background Art
[0002] In automated production, small shafts often need to be pressed into pre-determined holes on components. Due to the small size of the shafts and components, the entire process is typically performed manually to ensure precision. This manual crimping process is time-consuming and labor-intensive, reducing the efficiency of automated production. Utility Model Content
[0003] The utility model aims to provide an assembly crimping device which can automatically press a shaft into a component instead of manual labor, thereby improving production efficiency.
[0004] Another object of the utility model is to provide an automatic assembly system that can automatically load materials and press the shaft into the components, thereby improving production efficiency.
[0005] The utility model provides an assembly crimping device, comprising a crimping assembly, a driving assembly, a first clamping jaw and a clamping jaw assembly. The crimping assembly is used to press a shaft body placed on a first crimping position on the crimping assembly into an axial hole of a component placed on a second crimping position on the crimping assembly. The driving assembly has a movable driving end. The first clamping jaw is arranged at the driving end and corresponds to the shape of the shaft body. The driving assembly can move the first clamping jaw to clamp the shaft body at a first loading position on the shaft body feeding device, and the driving assembly can also move the first clamping jaw to place the shaft body in the first crimping position. The clamping jaw assembly is arranged at the driving end, and the clamping jaw assembly includes at least one clamping jaw corresponding to the shape of the component. The driving assembly can move the clamping jaw assembly to clamp the component at a second loading position on the component feeding device, and the driving assembly can also move the clamping jaw assembly to place the component in the second crimping position.
[0006] The assembly crimping device provided by the utility model automatically places the shaft body and parts into the crimping assembly by moving the first clamping jaw and the clamping jaw assembly through the driving assembly, and then presses the shaft body into the parts through the crimping assembly, thereby improving production efficiency.
[0007] In another schematic embodiment of assembling a crimping device, the crimping assembly includes a crimping base, a support member, an elastic member, and a crimping cylinder. A blind hole is formed on the crimping base, the axis of the blind hole is parallel to a vertical direction, and the shaft body is inserted into the blind hole when it is in the first crimping position. The support member is arranged on the crimping base and can move between an initial position and a pressing position along the vertical direction and the opposite direction thereof. A through hole is formed on the support member, which is opposite to the blind hole in the vertical direction. When the component is in the second crimping position, the support member is placed in the initial position, and the axial hole of the component is opposite to the through hole in the vertical direction. The elastic member applies an elastic restoring force to the crimping base and the support member, so that the support member remains in the initial position. The crimping cylinder can overcome the elastic restoring force of the elastic member and push the component located in the second crimping position to move in the opposite direction of the vertical direction to press the shaft body into the axial hole of the component.
[0008] In another exemplary embodiment of the assembly crimping device, the assembly crimping device further includes a first tilting cylinder disposed at the drive end, and the first clamping jaw is disposed on the first tilting cylinder. The first tilting cylinder is capable of driving the first clamping jaw to rotate about a first axis perpendicular to the vertical direction after the first clamping jaw grasps the shaft. This automatically adjusts the shaft's orientation and simplifies the operation of the drive assembly.
[0009] In another exemplary embodiment of the assembly crimping device, the assembly crimping device further includes a second flip cylinder and a fourth clamping jaw. The fourth clamping jaw is disposed on the second flip cylinder and is driven by the second flip cylinder to rotate about a second axis perpendicular to the vertical direction between a forward position and a reverse position. The drive assembly is capable of moving the clamping jaw assembly to grip the component in the second loading position and move it to a reverse position. The fourth clamping jaw in the forward position is capable of gripping the component in the reverse position. After the fourth clamping jaw rotates to the reverse position, the clamping jaw assembly is capable of gripping the component on the fourth clamping jaw, and the drive assembly is capable of moving the clamping jaw assembly to place the component in the second crimping position. This allows for automatic adjustment of the component's orientation, simplifying the operation of the drive assembly.
[0010] In another exemplary embodiment of an assembly crimping device, the jaw assembly includes a second jaw and a third jaw. The drive assembly can move the second jaw to grip a component in the second loading position and move it to the flip position. The drive assembly can also move the third jaw to grip a component in the fourth jaw in the reverse position and place the component in the second crimping position. This allows for more stable gripping of components.
[0011] In another exemplary embodiment of the assembly crimping device, the first clamping jaw, the second clamping jaw, the third clamping jaw, and the fourth clamping jaw are pneumatic clamping jaws.
[0012] In another exemplary embodiment of the assembly crimping device, the assembly crimping device further includes a third tilting cylinder and a fifth clamping jaw. The fifth clamping jaw is mounted on the third tilting cylinder. The third tilting cylinder can move the fifth clamping jaw to grip the component at the second crimping position on the crimping assembly. The third tilting cylinder can also move the fifth clamping jaw to a receiving position and release the component. This allows for automatic unloading of the component after the shaft is pressed into the component.
[0013] In another exemplary embodiment of the assembly crimping device, the assembly crimping device further includes two sensors: one sensor capable of sensing the presence of a shaft at the first crimping position, and the other sensor capable of sensing the presence of a component at the second crimping position.

[0057] Figure 2 and Figure 3 This is a partial cross-sectional view for explaining the assembly of the crimping device. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The crimping assembly 10 is used to press a shaft 91 placed at a first crimping position on the crimping assembly 10 into an axial hole of a component 92 placed at a second crimping position on the crimping assembly 10. In the exemplary embodiment, the crimping assembly 10 includes a crimping base 12, a support member 14, an elastic member 16, and a crimping cylinder 18 (only a portion of which is shown in the figure).
[0058] Reference Figure 2 A blind hole 13 is formed on the crimping base 12, and the axis of the blind hole 13 is parallel to a vertical direction H. In actual use, the vertical direction H is usually parallel to the direction of gravity. The shaft 91 is inserted into the blind hole 13 when it is in the first crimping position. The support member 14 is provided on the crimping base 12 and can move along the vertical direction H and the opposite direction between an initial position and a pressed position. A through hole 15 is formed on the support member 14 and is opposite to the blind hole 13 along the vertical direction H. When the component 92 is in the second crimping position, the support member 14 is placed in the initial position, and the axial hole of the component 92 is opposite to the through hole 15 along the vertical direction H.
[0059] In the exemplary embodiment, the elastic member 16 is a compression spring. The elastic member 16 applies elastic restoring force to the crimping base 12 and the support member 14, so that the support member 14 remains in the initial position. Figure 3 The crimping cylinder 18 can overcome the elastic restoring force of the elastic member 16 and push the component 92 at the second crimping position in the opposite direction of the vertical direction H to press the shaft 91 into the shaft hole of the component 92. However, this is not limited to this. In other exemplary embodiments, the crimping assembly 10 can also have other structures that can achieve the same function.
[0060] Reference Figure 1 The drive assembly 20 is a robotic arm having a movable drive end 22. The first gripper 30 is a pneumatic gripper disposed at the drive end 22 and conforms to the shape of the shaft 91.

The first tilting cylinder 32 is capable of driving the first clamping jaw 30 to rotate about a first axis S1 after the first clamping jaw 30 grasps the shaft 91. The first axis S1 is perpendicular to the vertical direction H. In actual production, the orientation of the shaft 91 at the first loading position T1 may not correspond to the orientation of the shaft 91 at the first crimping position.

The drive assembly 20 can move the clamp assembly 40 to clamp the component 92 at the second loading position T2 and move it to a flip position. The fourth clamp 54 in the forward position can clamp the component 92 at the flip position. After the fourth clamp 54 rotates to the reverse position, the clamp assembly 40 can clamp the component 92 on the fourth clamp 54, and the drive assembly 20 can move the clamp assembly 40 to place the component 92 in the second crimping position. In actual production, the orientation of the component 92 at the second loading position T2 may not correspond to the orientation of the component 92 at the second crimping position. With the help of the above structure, the orientation of the component 92 can be automatically adjusted, simplifying the operation of the drive assembly 20.
[0065] In an exemplary embodiment, referring to Figure 1 The clamping jaw assembly 40 includes a second clamping jaw 42 and a third clamping jaw 44, and the second clamping jaw 42 and the third clamping jaw 44 are pneumatic clamping jaws.

The component 92 is clamped by the second clamping jaw 42 before the second flip cylinder 52 and the fourth clamping jaw 54 adjust the direction. The component 92 is clamped by the third clamping jaw 44 after the second flip cylinder 52 and the fourth clamping jaw 54 adjust the direction. The second clamping jaw 42 and the third clamping jaw 44 can be set to different shapes to correspond to the components 92 in different directions, thereby being able to grasp the components 92 more stably.
