Among them, F system small thrust ball bearing cage faces special challenges in the production of small thrust ball bearing industry. The size of this kind of cage is small, the outer diameter is less than 25mm, and the steel ball is less than 3.5mm. Under the background of high efficiency of automation production, the key technical difficulty is that the hole of "punching clamp" is aligned in one direction at a time in a short time.

[0024] When the laser automatic alignment device of the embodiment works, product 1 is transported to the first station, then it is pushed to the rotating disc 5 of the second station by pushing mechanism 14, at this time, product 1 is below alignment laser 7, alignment motor 6 drives rotating disc 5 to rotate, and drives product 1 to rotate synchronously, when the laser of alignment laser 7 is aligned with the alignment hole on product 1 during the rotation of product 1, that is, the alignment operation is completed.
[0025] This design effectively solves many problems caused by the existing mechanical structure setting. First, it realizes more accurate alignment. Through the laser alignment method, the alignment hole on the product 1 can be accurately found, which greatly improves the accuracy compared to traditional mechanical alignment, reduces the production errors caused by inaccurate alignment, and improves the product 1 quality. Second, it improves production efficiency. The cooperation of the pushing mechanism 14 and the turntable 5 makes the transfer and alignment process of the product 1 between stations more smooth and efficient, reduces the operation time, and meets the requirements of high efficiency for automated production. Third, it has good flexibility and adaptability. The device can adapt to the alignment needs of different specifications and types of products 1, and can flexibly cope with various production scenarios by adjusting the laser parameters and the rotation speed of the turntable 5, overcoming the limitations of traditional mechanical alignment equipment. Fourth, it reduces the equipment failure rate. By reducing the complex movement and friction of the mechanical structure, the probability of mechanical failure is reduced, the maintenance cost and the risk of production interruption are reduced, and the continuity and stability of production are ensured.
[0026] Further, the pushing mechanism 14 includes a pushing cylinder 15 and a pushing member 16, and the pushing cylinder 15 is connected to the pushing member 16 for driving the pushing member 16 to act. The pushing cylinder 15 serves as a power source and drives the pushing member 16 to act. When the product 1 is located at the first station, the pushing cylinder 15 is started to push the pushing member 16 to move forward, thereby smoothly pushing the product 1 from the first station to the second station.
[0027] This design produces many technical effects. First, it realizes fast and accurate station transfer, ensuring that the product 1 can enter the subsequent alignment operation process in time, improving the overall production efficiency. Second, the driving mode of the pushing cylinder 15 has the characteristics of stable power and reliable action, which can ensure the consistency of the pushing force and stroke each time, reduce the position deviation or damage of the product 1 caused by unstable pushing, and improve the stability of production and the quality of the product 1. Third, this structure is relatively simple, easy to maintain and control, reduces the failure rate and maintenance cost of the equipment, and provides a strong guarantee for continuous and efficient production.
[0028] Specifically, the pushing member 16 is provided in the form of a plate or a block. In this embodiment, it is preferably provided in the form of a plate.
[0029] Further, the support table 2 includes a first fixed block 3 and a second fixed block 4, the first station is provided on the first fixed block 3, and the second station is provided on the second fixed block 4. The first fixed block 3 is provided with an open slot for conveying the product 1. This design makes the station layout reasonable, and the open slot facilitates the conveying of the product 1, providing a foundation for the orderly operation of the entire laser automatic alignment device.
[0030] Further, the support frame 8 comprises a fixing plate 9, a support plate 10 and a mounting plate 11, the support plate 10 connects the fixing plate 9 and the mounting plate 11, the fixing plate 9 is fixedly mounted on the support table 2, and the alignment laser 7 is mounted on the mounting plate 11.

The design of the waist-shaped hole 12 provides convenience for the adjustment of the position of the laser. In actual production, the size, shape and alignment hole position of different products 1 may be different. Through the waist-shaped hole 12, the position of the laser can be flexibly adjusted so that it can accurately align the alignment hole on the product 1, thereby adapting to the production needs of various different products 1, improving the universality and adaptability of the equipment, and ensuring the accuracy and efficiency of the alignment operation.
[0032] Further, a vibrating disc 17 is further included for conveying the product 1 to the first station. The vibrating disc 17 can orderly convey the product 1 to the first station and ensure that the opening of the product 1 faces upward. This design has many advantages. First, it ensures that the product 1 enters the subsequent processing process in a uniform posture, providing a prerequisite for the accurate pushing of the product 1 to the second station by the pushing mechanism 14, reducing problems such as jamming or alignment errors that may be caused by inconsistent postures of the product 1. Second, the continuous conveying capacity of the vibrating disc 17 improves the degree of automation and efficiency of production, making the entire production process more smooth and stable, reducing the need for manual intervention, reducing labor intensity and production cost, and at the same time improving the processing precision and quality consistency of the product 1, adapting to the needs of mass production.
