Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts assembly technology, and in particular to a rubber buckle pressing device. Background Technology

[0002] Rubber clips are accessories used for fixing and connecting parts, widely used in industrial machinery, automotive parts, gym equipment, and many other fields. In the industrial and automotive sectors, rubber clips typically need to meet specific technical standards. For example, vulcanized rubber clips have a maximum insertion force of 20N and a minimum pull-out force of 30N, while H-70 soft PVC clips have a maximum insertion force of 30N and a minimum pull-out force of 50N. This makes manual assembly of rubber clips and metal parts too labor-intensive and inefficient. Mechanical pressing, on the other hand, is difficult due to the softness of the rubber clips and the difficulty in aligning them with the metal parts, hindering assembly efficiency and precision. This is particularly true in the assembly of automotive V-plates and rubber clips, where pressing them together is especially challenging.

[0003] Therefore, in view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, it is necessary to design a rubber snap-fit ​​device to solve the above problems.

[0004] It should be noted that the above introduction to the technical background is only for the purpose of providing a clear and complete explanation of the technical solution of this utility model and facilitating the understanding of those skilled in the art. It should not be assumed that the above content is known to those skilled in the art simply because it has been described in the background section of this utility model. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention discloses a rubber buckle pressing device to solve the problem of difficulty in improving the assembly efficiency and accuracy of rubber buckles and metal parts.

[0006] This utility model discloses a rubber buckle pressing device, comprising:

[0007] The metal parts loading unit includes a metal parts carrier plate, a metal parts mounting seat on the metal parts carrier plate, and a positioning and lifting mechanism below the metal parts carrier plate, which is used to position the metal parts carrier plate and push the metal parts carrier plate up to the processing position.

[0008] The rubber clip feeding unit includes a horizontal transfer mechanism positioned above the metal part feeding unit. The horizontal transfer mechanism is used to move the clip carrier plate between the feeding position and the pressing position. The moving end of the horizontal transfer mechanism is connected to a lifting mechanism, which is used to connect the clip carrier plate with the metal part carrier plate. The moving end of the lifting mechanism is connected to the clip carrier plate. The upper end of the clip carrier plate is provided with a contoured through hole, which corresponds to the metal part mounting seat. The inner side of the upper opening of the contoured through hole is provided with a draft angle, making the upper opening of the contoured through hole large so that the rubber clip can be easily inserted, while the lower opening of the contoured through hole is small so that the rubber clip will not fall directly from below the contoured through hole.

[0009] The pressing unit includes a pressing drive that is vertically positioned above the rubber buckle feeding unit. The moving end of the pressing drive is connected to a pressure plate. The lower end face of the pressure plate is provided with a contouring pressing head corresponding to the contouring through hole. The contouring pressing head can pass through the contouring through hole to press the rubber buckle onto the metal part.

[0010] Preferred technical solution: The number of metal part mounting base, contour through hole and contour pressure head is the same and greater than one.

[0011] Preferred technical solution: The positioning and lifting mechanism includes a mounting frame, the lower end of which is provided with an identification component and a lifting drive, and the upper side of the mounting frame is provided with a limiting plate. The metal part carrier plate is movably connected to the moving end of the lifting drive. The lifting drive drives the metal part carrier plate to rise and is fixed to the processing position by the limiting plate.

[0012] Preferred technical solution: The side of the contoured through hole is provided with a detection hole, and the moving end of the lifting mechanism is provided with a detection photoelectric sensor. The detection end of the detection photoelectric sensor is set in correspondence with the detection hole to detect whether there is a rubber buckle inside the contoured through hole.

[0013] Preferred technical solution: An electronic ruler is also provided on one side of the press drive. The detection end of the electronic ruler is connected to the pressure plate to accurately control the press stroke and improve the press quality.

[0014] Preferred technical solution: A clearance space is also provided on the side of the contoured through hole to facilitate the removal and placement of the rubber buckle inside the contoured through hole.

[0015] Due to the application of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model compared with the prior art are as follows:

[0016] This utility model discloses a rubber buckle pressing device. It uses a metal carrier plate and a buckle carrier plate to position and feed the metal part and rubber buckle respectively. Alignment between the metal part and the rubber buckle is achieved through the alignment of the metal carrier plate and the buckle carrier plate, resulting in simple operation and high efficiency. The rubber buckle is positioned and placed using a contoured through-hole with a draft angle. During feeding, the rubber buckle can be placed into the contoured through-hole manually or by a robot, preventing positioning deviations caused by the softness of the rubber buckle material. The use of a contoured pressure head for pressing ensures uniform force on the rubber buckle during installation, thereby guaranteeing the pressing accuracy between the rubber buckle and the metal part. An electronic ruler connected to the pressure plate further improves the pressing accuracy between the rubber buckle and the metal part, avoiding problems such as incomplete or excessive pressing.

[0032] Example:

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model discloses a rubber buckle pressing device, including a metal parts feeding unit 1, a rubber buckle feeding unit 2, and a pressing unit 3. The main components of this utility model will be described in detail below:

[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the metal parts loading unit 1 includes a metal parts carrier plate 11, which has four metal parts mounting seats 11a. A positioning and lifting mechanism 12 is provided below the metal parts carrier plate 11.

[0035] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the rubber clip feeding unit 2 includes a horizontal transfer mechanism 21 disposed above the metal part feeding unit 1. The moving end of the horizontal transfer mechanism 21 is connected to a lifting mechanism 22. The moving end of the lifting mechanism 22 is connected to a clip carrier plate 23. The upper end surface of the clip carrier plate 23 is provided with four contoured through holes 23a. The four contoured through holes 23a are provided in correspondence with four metal part mounting seats 11a. The upper opening of the contoured through holes 23a is provided with a draft angle.

[0036] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the pressing unit 3 includes a pressing drive 31 arranged vertically above the rubber buckle feeding unit 2. The moving end of the pressing drive 31 is connected to a pressure plate 32. The lower end face of the pressure plate 32 is provided with four contouring pressure heads 32a corresponding to the contouring through hole 23a.

[0037] refer to Figures 1 to 7As shown, the usage method and principle of this utility model are as follows: In use, the metal part 4 is placed on the metal part mounting seat 11a, and the positioning and lifting mechanism 12 lifts the metal part carrier plate 11 and the metal part 4 on it to the pressing operation area; the rubber buckle 5 is inserted into the contoured through hole 23a manually or by a robot. Because the inner side of the upper opening of the contoured through hole 23a is provided with a draft angle, the rubber buckle 5 can easily enter the contoured through hole 23a and will not fall off from the bottom; then the horizontal transfer mechanism 21 moves the buckle carrier plate 23 above the metal part carrier plate 11, and the lifting mechanism 22... The clamping carrier plate 23 is lowered, bringing the lower end of the contoured through hole 23a close to the mounting position on the metal part 4, thus preventing the rubber clamp 5 from shifting during the pressing process. Finally, the pressing drive 31 drives the pressure plate 32 to press down, and the contoured pressing head 32a first contacts the rubber clamp 5 and drives it to move downward along the contoured through hole 23a. During this process, the rubber clamp 5 gradually adheres to the front end of the contoured pressing head 32a under the action of frictional resistance. The contoured pressing head 32a drives the rubber clamp 5 through the contoured through hole 23a and presses it onto the metal part 4, completing the assembly. Its positioning accuracy and pressing efficiency are significantly improved.

[0038] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, to facilitate docking with external production lines, the positioning and lifting mechanism 12 includes a mounting frame 12a. The lower end of the mounting frame 12a is provided with an identification component 12b and a lifting drive 12c. The upper side of the mounting frame 12a is provided with a limiting plate 12d. When the metal part carrier plate 11 passes the upper end of the mounting frame 12a with the external production line, the identification component 12b identifies the metal part carrier plate 11 and blocks it at a designated position. Then, the lifting drive 12c positions the metal part carrier plate 11 upward and fixes it by cooperating with the limiting plate 12d to ensure the stability of the metal part carrier plate 11.

[0039] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, in order to improve the pressing efficiency, a detection hole 23b is provided on the side of the contoured through hole 23a, and a detection photoelectric sensor 24 is provided on the moving end of the lifting mechanism 22. The detection end of the detection photoelectric sensor 24 is set to correspond to the detection hole 23b. The detection photoelectric sensor 24 identifies whether the rubber buckle 5 has been loaded into the contoured through hole 23a, thereby improving the loading efficiency.

[0040] like Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in order to improve the pressing accuracy, an electronic ruler 33 is also provided on one side of the pressing drive 31. The detection end of the electronic ruler 33 is connected to the pressure plate 32. The electronic ruler 33 controls the movement stroke of the pressure plate 32 and the contour pressing head 32a to avoid the contour pressing head 32a pressing the rubber buckle 5 in place or pressing it to the limit.

[0041] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, in order to facilitate the feeding of rubber buckles 5, a clearance position 23c is also provided on the side of the contoured through hole 23a. The clearance position 23c avoids the fingers or machinery that grip the rubber buckles 5, making it easier for the rubber buckles 5 to be put into the interior of the contoured through hole 23a and improving the feeding efficiency.

[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
