[0036] Reference is made to the accompanying drawings Figure 1-6 As shown in the drawings, an inner sealing ring taking device comprises:

[0037] The sealing ring feeding module 100 is located at the feeding station and is used for sorting and feeding the sealing rings;

[0038] The sealing ring distribution module 200 is located at the distribution station and is connected with the sealing ring feeding module 100, and the sealing ring distribution module 200 distributes the sealing rings for grabbing;

[0039] The sealing ring transfer module 300 is driven by the movement module to grab the sealing rings from the distribution station and transfer them to the assembly station for installation of the sealing rings;

[0040] The sealing ring transfer module 300 comprises a transfer column 400, the radius of the transfer column 400 is greater than the inner diameter of the sealing ring and is less than the inner diameter of the workpiece hole, and the surface of the transfer column 400 is provided with a transfer groove 410 for fixing the sealing ring.

[0041] The automatic equipment solves the problems of limited operation space, low efficiency and poor precision in the installation process of the inner wall sealing ring. The core of the equipment is the structural design of the transfer column 400 and the transfer groove 410, which realizes accurate grabbing, stable transfer and efficient installation of the sealing ring.

[0042] The sealing rings are sorted by the rubber ring feeding module and transmitted to the distribution station along the feeding channel. In the distribution station, the rubber ring distribution module separates and fixes the sealing rings one by one by using the distribution paddle 220 and the positioning groove 210 for the transfer module to grab. The transfer column 400 in the transfer module is lowered to the position of the sealing ring, and the sealing ring is clamped into the transfer groove 410 by extrusion action by virtue of the feature that the diameter of the transfer column 400 is greater than the inner diameter of the sealing ring. The transfer groove 410 is designed to adapt to the deformation characteristics of the sealing ring to ensure firm grabbing. The transfer module is driven by the movement module to transfer the grabbed sealing ring from the distribution station to the assembly station. The transfer column 400 is aligned with the inner wall of the workpiece, and the sealing ring is accurately embedded into the mounting groove of the workpiece by downward movement. The elasticity of the sealing ring makes it completely fit the mounting groove, and when the transfer column 400 is disengaged, the sealing ring can remain in the mounting groove and will not be taken out with the transfer column 400.

[0043] The radius of the transfer column 400 and the depth of the transfer groove 410 have been repeatedly adjusted to ensure stable gripping and smooth release of the sealing ring. The equipment automates the entire process from feeding to installation, reducing manual intervention and improving production efficiency. The optimized design of the transfer column diameter and the depth of the transfer groove 410 ensures that the sealing ring will not slip or be carried out during the gripping and installation process. This reduces the reliance on skilled workers and reduces the labor intensity and training costs of manual installation.

[0044] In another embodiment, within the range where the radius of the transfer post 400 is greater than the inner diameter of the sealing ring and smaller than the inner diameter of the workpiece hole, the radius of the transfer post 400 below the transfer slot 410 can be smaller than that of the transfer post 400 above. The slightly smaller transfer post 400 below ensures easier removal while preventing the sealing ring from falling off. The slightly larger transfer post 400 above ensures smooth entry into the workpiece and prevents displacement of the sealing ring.

[0045] During the grasping phase, the upper transfer column 400 secures the sealing ring via the transfer groove 410, while the smaller radius of the lower transfer column 400 prevents excessive interference with the bottom of the sealing ring. During the installation phase, the transfer column 400 precisely inserts the sealing ring into the mounting groove on the inner wall of the workpiece, with the upper portion ensuring a stable position of the sealing ring. During the release phase, the smaller radius of the lower transfer column 400 reduces the contact area with the sealing ring. When the transfer column 400 is lifted upward, the sealing ring, relying on its elasticity and the fixing effect of the mounting groove, can be smoothly installed.

[0046] In this embodiment, the transfer column 400 includes a positioning column 420 and a hook 430 , and the hook 430 can slide relative to the positioning column 420 ;

[0047] Both the positioning post 420 and the hook 430 are provided with grooves. When aligned, these grooves form a transfer slot 410. The key feature is the collaboration between the positioning post 420 and the hook 430, enabling precise capture, smooth transfer, and efficient installation of the sealing ring. The sliding fit between the positioning post 420 and the hook 430 not only stretches the sealing ring to reduce its outer diameter but also allows for smooth release after installation, eliminating issues with the sealing ring being susceptible to obstruction and unstable during installation.

[0048] The grooves on the positioning post 420 and the hook 430 together form a transfer groove 410 when aligned, and the sealing ring enters the transfer groove 410 through the positioning groove 210. The sealing ring is firmly fixed in the transfer groove 410, and the hook 430 cooperates with the positioning post 420 to keep the sealing ring in the correct position.

[0049] During the transfer process, the hook 430 slides upward, and through the cooperation of the groove and the positioning column 420, it stretches the sealing ring, reducing its outer diameter. The reduced sealing ring is easier to pass through the workpiece hole, avoiding obstruction or displacement of the sealing ring due to interference.

[0050] Once the seal ring is partially engaged in the workpiece's mounting groove, hook 430 slides back into place, restoring the seal ring's elastic state. This reset seal ring fits perfectly within the workpiece's mounting groove, ensuring precise installation. After resetting, hook 430 and positioning post 420 gradually disengage from transfer groove 410. The seal ring, leveraging its elasticity and the securing force of the mounting groove, remains within the workpiece, completing installation.

[0051] In this embodiment, the sealing ring transfer module 300 includes a transfer cylinder 310, which is connected to a hook 430 to drive the hook 430 to slide. This drive enables precise control of the sealing ring during its capture, transfer, and installation. The introduction of the transfer cylinder 310 makes the hook 430's movement more flexible and controllable, providing mechanical support for smooth sealing ring installation.

[0052] The transfer cylinder 310 controls the hook 430 to slide, so that the hook 430 cooperates with the positioning column 420 to form the transfer groove 410. The sealing ring is firmly grasped into the transfer groove 410, and the sliding action of the hook 430 ensures that the position of the sealing ring is stable.

[0053] Driven by the transfer cylinder 310, the hook 430 slides upward, stretching the outer diameter of the seal ring, making it easier to pass through the workpiece hole. The cylinder drives the action smoothly, preventing the seal ring from slipping or shifting due to vibration or sudden movement.

[0054] The hook 430 carries the sealing ring to the installation position, and the transfer cylinder 310 controls the hook 430 to gradually reset. During the reset process, the sealing ring is gradually embedded in the installation groove of the workpiece with the help of elasticity.

[0055] By using a transfer cylinder 310 to drive hook 430, this implementation achieves precise control over the entire process of gripping, stretching, installing, and releasing the seal. The introduction of the cylinder not only improves the smoothness and consistency of the equipment's movements but also enhances its ability to adapt to different workpieces and seals, significantly improving the efficiency and quality of automated production.

[0056] In this embodiment, the sealing ring distributing module 200 includes:

[0057] Positioning groove 210, used to fix the sealing ring;

[0058] The material dividing cylinder and the material dividing paddle 220 are used to push the sealing rings of the sealing ring feeding module 100 into the positioning groove 210 one by one.

[0059] The sealing rings are sorted and transported from the feeding module, such as a vibrating plate or feeding channel, to the dispensing station. The dispensing paddle 220 is driven by the dispensing cylinder to initiate the dispensing action. The dispensing cylinder drives the dispensing paddle 220, pushing the sealing rings from the feeding module to the positioning groove 210 one by one. The positioning groove 210 is designed to adapt to the shape and size of the sealing rings, allowing the sealing rings to remain firmly in place after being pushed, avoiding tilting, sliding, or multiple overlapping turns. The positioning groove 210 ensures that each sealing ring is fixed in place after dispensing is completed, providing a precise starting position for the transfer module to grasp.

[0060] The positioning groove 210 and the material dividing paddle 220 work in coordination, and the material dividing operation can be completed continuously and efficiently.

[0061] The dispensing module in this embodiment achieves precise dispensing and positioning of the sealing ring through the cooperation of the dispensing cylinder and the paddle. The design of the positioning groove 210 further improves the stability of the dispensing and the reliability of the grip, ensuring the efficient and continuous feeding process of the sealing ring and laying a solid foundation for the entire automated installation process.

[0062] This embodiment also includes a side-push cylinder and side-push paddle 230, which communicates with the positioning groove 210 and is used to squeeze the sealing ring. The addition of the side-push cylinder and side-push paddle 230 solves the problem of unhooking during the transfer and installation of the sealing ring. The side-push paddle 230, which communicates with the positioning groove 210, applies additional squeezing force toward the hook 430 during the grabbing and transfer process, ensuring that the sealing ring always maintains a tight fit with the groove of the hook 430, thereby improving the stability of the pulling of the sealing ring.

[0063] When hook 430 grabs the sealing ring and enters transfer groove 410, the radius of the concave groove 410 is smaller than the inner diameter of the sealing ring, which may cause the sealing ring to slip out of the groove of hook 430 due to insufficient tension. To solve this problem, the side push cylinder drives the side push paddle 230 to apply pressure to the sealing ring from the side.

[0064] The side push paddle 230 applies a certain amount of lateral pressure to the sealing ring through the positioning groove 210, causing the sealing ring to deform and fit more tightly into the groove of the hook 430. This squeezing action effectively increases the friction between the hook 430 and the sealing ring, preventing the hook from being unhooked due to the small radius of the transfer groove 410.

[0065] After the transfer column 400 completes the grabbing, the side push cylinder drives the paddle to return to the initial position, making room for the transfer column 400 to move.

[0066] The side-push cylinder and side-push paddle 230 play a key supporting role in the material distribution station, providing compression during the gripping phase to ensure stable gripping of the seal ring. Their design logic is clear, the action is efficient, and they do not interfere with subsequent transfer and installation processes, significantly improving the equipment's operational reliability and the consistency of seal installation.

[0067] In this embodiment, the sealing ring feeding module 100 includes a vibrating plate and a feeding channel. The vibrating plate is used to sort multiple sealing rings, and the feeding channel connects the vibrating plate and the sealing ring dispensing module 200. The combination of the vibrating plate and the feeding channel enables efficient feeding and sorting of sealing rings. The vibrating plate is responsible for arranging multiple sealing rings from a disordered state into a single row of ordered states, and then transferring the sealing rings to the dispensing module through the feeding channel. The entire feeding process is the first step in equipment automation, providing a stable and reliable source of feed for subsequent grasping, transfer, and installation.

[0068] The vibrating plate automatically guides the scattered sealing rings onto the track inside the plate. The track is designed as a gradually narrowing single track. The vibration arranges the sealing rings into a single row, ensuring that the output sealing rings are arranged in order.

[0069] Sealing rings, arranged in a single row, are transported to the distribution module via a feed channel. The feed channel is designed as a closed or semi-closed structure to prevent the sealing rings from slipping or straying during transport. The feed channel length is designed based on the equipment layout to ensure continuous delivery of sealing rings to the distribution module.

[0070] In this embodiment, the motion module includes a support arm 510, a rotating motor 520 and a lifting module 530;

[0071] The support arm 510 is placed horizontally, and the rotary motor 520 is used to drive the support arm 510 to rotate around the center point through a transmission member;

[0072] The support arm 510 is equipped with a lifting module 530 at each end, and the two sealing ring transfer modules 300 are mounted on the lifting modules 530 at each end of the support arm 510. The combined design of the support arm 510, the rotating motor 520, and the lifting module 530 enables efficient coordinated operation of the sealing ring transfer modules 300. The two lifting modules 530 on the support arm 510 are each mounted with two sealing ring transfer modules 300. Driven by the rotating motor 520, the transfer modules rotate and perform the grasping and installation steps, significantly improving the equipment's operating efficiency and production cycle time.

[0073] Two sealing ring transfer modules 300 are mounted on each end of the support arm 510. A lifting module 530 controls the up and down movement of the transfer modules, performing the grabbing and installation operations. The two transfer modules rotate, one grabbing the sealing ring while the other simultaneously installs it, creating efficient collaboration.

[0074] The rotary motor 520 drives the support arm 510 to rotate around the center point through the transmission element, transferring the captured sealing ring from the material distribution station to the assembly station. At the same time, the completed transfer module returns to the material distribution station to prepare for the next round of grabbing.

[0075] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art will be able to modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or replace some of the technical features therein with equivalents.
