Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.
[0019] Please see Figures 1-4 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of this utility model. Figure 2 This is a front view of the entire utility model.

[0020] This utility model provides an automatic pressing device for valve bridge bracket guide columns, including an automatic pressing assembly. The automatic pressing assembly includes an operating table 101, a contouring fixture 110, a bracket 111, a support plate 102, a top plate 103, a servo motor 104, a transmission rod 105, a pressure sensor 106, a guide base 107, a guide column 108, and a magnetic ring 109. This solution solves the problem that cold-treated workpieces can easily cause worker frostbite, and the assembly process quality cannot be monitored, easily leading to potential quality problems. It is understood that the aforementioned solution uses a servo electric cylinder to press the valve bridge bracket guide column, achieving precise longitudinal positioning of the guide column 108. The positioning fixture precisely positions the holes, and the pressure sensor 106 and the electronic control system monitor the pressing force throughout the process. The magnetic ring 109 is used to attract the guide post 108. During use, as the servo cylinder moves downward, the guide post 108 is pressed into the hole of the bracket 111 until it reaches the system's set position. During this process, the pressure sensor 106 continuously detects the pressure. If the pressure exceeds the set pressure range (excessive interference), the process will immediately stop and an alarm will sound. If the maximum pressing force is less than the set value (insufficient interference), an alarm will sound after the pressing is completed. This effectively solves the problem of workers getting cold from holding cold workpieces for a long time.
[0021] In this specific embodiment, the contouring fixture 110 is detachably connected to the operating table 101 and is located on one side above the operating table 101. The bracket 111 is located at the center above the contouring fixture 110. The support plate 102 is detachably connected to the operating table 101 and is located above the operating table 101. The support plate 102 is perpendicular to the operating table 101. The support plate 102 is also located on one side of the contouring fixture 110. The operating table 101 is the place for pressing, and the support plate 102 is the structural component connecting the top plate 103 and the vertical platform. The guide base 107 and the bracket 111 are the main workpieces for pressing.
[0022] The top plate 103 is detachably connected to the support plate 102 and is located above the support plate 102. The top plate 103 is vertically arranged to the support plate 102 and horizontally arranged to the operating table 101. The servo motor 104 is detachably connected to the top plate 103 and is located above the top plate 103. The top plate 103 is where the servo motor 104 is placed. The servo motor 104 is a conductive auxiliary component that transmits downward power to the transmission rod 105.
[0023] Secondly, the transmission rod 105 passes through the top plate 103 and is detachably connected to the servo motor 104, and is located below the servo motor 104. The transmission rod 105 is positioned above the bracket 111. The pressure sensor 106 is detachably connected to the transmission rod 105 and is located below the transmission rod 105. The pressure sensor 106 is positioned above the bracket 111. The transmission rod 105 is an auxiliary structural component that transmits power to the pressure sensor 106 and the guide base 107, while the pressure sensor 106 is the main detection component for automatic pressing.
[0024] Meanwhile, the guide base 107 is detachably connected to the pressure sensor 106 and is located below the pressure sensor 106. The guide base 107 is also located above the bracket 111. One end of the guide post 108 is fixedly connected to the guide base 107 and is located below the guide base 107. The other end of the guide post 108 passes through the bracket 111 and is located above the contouring fixture 110.
[0025] In addition, the magnetic ring 109 is detachably connected to the guide post 108 and is located on the outer surface of the guide post 108. The magnetic ring 109 is disposed on the outer surface of the guide post 108 near the guide base 107. The servo electric cylinder presses the valve bridge bracket guide post to achieve precise longitudinal positioning of the guide post 108. The contour positioning fixture accurately positions the hole. The pressure sensor 106 and the electronic control system monitor the pressing force throughout the process. The magnetic ring 109 is used to attract the guide post 108.
[0026] When using this invention to press-fit the valve bridge bracket guide column, the servo electric cylinder is used to press-fit the valve bridge bracket guide column, achieving precise longitudinal positioning of the guide column 108. The contour positioning fixture accurately positions the hole, and the pressure sensor 106 and the electronic control system monitor the pressing force throughout the process. The magnetic ring 109 is used to attract the guide column 108. During use, as the servo electric cylinder moves downward, the guide column 108 is pressed into the hole of the bracket 111 until the system's set position. During this process, the pressure sensor 106 continuously detects the pressure. If the pressure exceeds the set pressure range (excessive interference), the process is immediately stopped and an alarm is triggered. If the maximum pressing force is less than the set value (insufficient interference), an alarm is triggered after the pressing is completed. This effectively solves the problem of workers freezing when holding cold workpieces for extended periods.
[0027] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can understand that implementing all or part of the above-described embodiments and making equivalent changes in accordance with the claims of the present utility model are still within the scope of the utility model.
