Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of automotive parts assembly technology, specifically to an automatic pressing equipment for automotive parts. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of automotive parts, ring-shaped and sheet-shaped workpieces are widely used as accessories. Some ring-shaped and sheet-shaped workpieces are combined in an embedded manner. Specifically, through holes need to be machined on the sheet-shaped workpiece, and the ring-shaped workpiece is press-fitted into the through holes of the sheet-shaped workpiece.

[0003] However, most workpieces do not have a uniform shape, especially sheet-shaped workpieces, which have diverse shapes. It is difficult to design standard tooling to press-fit ring-shaped workpieces with sheet-shaped workpieces, so manual assembly is the only option. However, manual assembly requires a lot of labor costs, has low assembly efficiency, poor assembly quality, and is prone to rework, which is not conducive to high-efficiency production. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides an automatic pressing and assembly equipment for automotive parts, in order to improve or solve the technical problems of high cost, low efficiency and poor quality in the manual assembly of ring-shaped and sheet-shaped workpieces in the existing automotive parts assembly process.

The upper positioning assembly includes a lowering cylinder, a feeding plate on the piston rod of the first pushing cylinder, a second lifting cylinder, and a positioning mechanism on the piston rod of the second lifting cylinder. The feeding plate is used to place the annular workpiece. The first pushing cylinder drives the feeding plate to move horizontally to transport the annular workpiece directly below the positioning mechanism, and the first lifting cylinder drives it to rise to transfer the annular workpiece to the positioning mechanism. The second lifting cylinder drives the positioning mechanism to move downward to press the annular workpiece and the sheet workpiece together.

[0007] The automated press-fitting equipment for automotive parts provided in this application also includes the following additional technical features:

[0008] The piston rod of the first lifting cylinder is connected to a first mounting base, the cylinder body of the first pushing cylinder is fixed on the first mounting base, the worktable is provided with a plurality of first guide columns, and the first mounting base is provided with a first guide hole adapted to the plurality of first guide columns. The sliding cooperation between the first guide column and the first guide hole guides the first mounting base to move up and down.

[0009] The first mounting base is provided with multiple guide blocks, each guide block having a second guide hole. The feeding plate is connected to multiple second guide posts, and the sliding engagement between the second guide posts and the second guide holes guides the feeding plate to move horizontally.

[0010] The feeding plate is provided with a positioning ring, and a positioning groove is formed inside the positioning ring to restrict the radial movement of the annular workpiece.

[0011] The positioning mechanism includes a clamping cylinder and two clamping members connected to the clamping cylinder. The clamping cylinder clamps the annular workpiece by driving the two clamping members to move closer to each other or to move away from each other to release the annular workpiece.

[0012] The piston rod of the second lifting cylinder is connected to a second mounting base. The clamping cylinder is mounted on the second mounting base. The bottom of the second mounting base is provided with a positioning post for positioning the annular workpiece. The two clamping members are located on both sides of the positioning post. When the two clamping members are close to each other, they clamp the annular workpiece on the positioning post.

[0013] The second mounting base is provided with a third guide post, and the worktable is provided with a third guide hole. The sliding cooperation between the third guide post and the third guide hole guides the second mounting base to move up and down.

[0014] The lower positioning component includes a positioning slide plate, a second pusher cylinder, and a guide seat. The positioning slide plate is located directly below the positioning mechanism and is used to place the sheet-like workpiece. The positioning slide plate is provided with a limiting structure to restrict the movement of the sheet-like workpiece. The piston rod of the second pusher cylinder is connected to the positioning slide plate so as to drive the positioning slide plate to move horizontally. The guide seat is fixed to the worktable and is provided with a guide groove to guide the movement of the positioning slide plate.

[0015] The camera module includes a mounting plate, a camera, and a display screen. The camera is mounted on the side of the mounting plate facing the feeding plate, and the display screen is mounted on the side of the mounting plate away from the feeding plate.

[0016] The workbench includes a base plate and a top plate. The base plate supports the top plate via a support plate. The first lifting cylinder and the second lifting cylinder are mounted on the top plate. The camera module and the lower positioning component are mounted on the base plate.

[0017] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the technical effects achieved by this application include at least the following:

[0018] 1. The automatic press-fitting equipment for automotive parts provided in this application involves pre-placing annular workpieces on the feeding plate of a pusher assembly and pre-placing sheet workpieces on a lower positioning assembly. After the annular workpiece passes inspection by a camera module on the feeding plate, it is transferred to the upper positioning assembly through the coordinated action of a first pusher cylinder and a first lifting cylinder. The annular workpiece is positioned by the positioning mechanism of the upper positioning assembly. Then, a second lifting cylinder presses the annular workpiece downwards into the sheet workpiece on the lower positioning assembly, thereby achieving automatic press-fitting of the annular and sheet workpieces. This helps save labor costs and improve assembly quality, resulting in high assembly efficiency and enabling high-efficiency production. In specific implementations, the camera module can be used to inspect the conformity of the annular workpiece. For example, the camera module can be used to photograph and detect whether the holes on the annular workpiece are machined, whether the placement of the annular workpiece on the feeding plate is correct, and whether there are defects in the outline of the annular workpiece, etc. The automatic press-fitting equipment of this application, based on achieving automated press-fitting of annular and sheet workpieces, has a simple overall structure, low cost, and high practicality.

[0019] 2. A first mounting base is connected to the piston rod of the first lifting cylinder, which facilitates the reliable and stable installation of the first pushing cylinder onto the first mounting base. When the first lifting cylinder drives the first mounting base to move up and down, the sliding cooperation between the first guide post and the first guide hole guides the movement of the first mounting base, ensuring the stability of the movement, so that the first lifting cylinder can drive the annular workpiece to cooperate stably and smoothly with the positioning mechanism.

[0020] 3. The feeding plate is equipped with a positioning ring, and a positioning groove is formed inside the positioning ring to restrict the radial movement of the annular workpiece. Placing the annular workpiece in the positioning groove can prevent the annular workpiece from shifting on the feeding plate during the lifting and lowering process of the first lifting cylinder and the horizontal movement of the feeding plate driven by the first pushing cylinder. This ensures that the first pushing cylinder can drive the annular workpiece to accurately align with the positioning mechanism, and the first lifting cylinder can drive the annular workpiece to accurately cooperate with the positioning mechanism.

[0021] 4. The positioning mechanism includes a clamping cylinder and two clamping components connected to the clamping cylinder. The clamping cylinder can drive the clamping components to perform fast and stable clamping of the annular workpiece, and realize the automatic clamping and automatic release of the annular workpiece.

[0022] 5. The positioning slide is used to place sheet-like workpieces. The positioning slide is equipped with a limiting structure to restrict the movement of the sheet-like workpieces. During the pressing process, the limiting structure can restrict the sheet-like workpieces to prevent them from jumping up and down or shifting horizontally on the positioning slide, which would interfere with the pressing process. The second pusher cylinder can drive the positioning slide to move horizontally, and then the second pusher cylinder can move the pressed annular workpieces and sheet-like workpieces away from the worktable to prepare for the next processing step.

[0041] In the embodiments of this application, an automatic pressing device for automotive parts is provided. For ease of explanation and understanding, the following descriptions are based on the illustrated product structure. Of course, those skilled in the art will understand that the above structure is merely a specific example and illustrative illustration, and does not constitute a specific limitation on the technical solution provided in this application.

[0042] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, this application provides an automatic pressing equipment for automotive parts, used for pressing together annular workpiece 11 and sheet workpiece 12. The automatic pressing equipment includes a worktable 13 and a camera module 14, a pusher assembly, an upper positioning assembly, and a lower positioning assembly respectively disposed on the worktable 13. The camera module 14 is used to perform camera detection on the annular workpiece 11 placed on the pusher assembly. The pusher assembly is used to transfer the annular workpiece 11 to the upper positioning assembly. The upper positioning assembly is used to press together the annular workpiece 11 and the sheet workpiece 12 on the lower positioning assembly. The pusher assembly includes a first pusher cylinder 15 and a first lifting cylinder. 16. A feeding plate 17 is provided on the piston rod of the first pushing cylinder 15. The upper positioning assembly includes a second lifting cylinder 18 and a positioning mechanism 19 provided on the piston rod of the second lifting cylinder 18. The feeding plate 17 is used to place the annular workpiece 11. The first pushing cylinder 15 drives the feeding plate 17 to move horizontally to transport the annular workpiece 11 directly below the positioning mechanism 19. The first lifting cylinder 16 drives the annular workpiece 11 to rise and transfer it to the positioning mechanism 19. The second lifting cylinder 18 drives the positioning mechanism 19 to move downward to press the annular workpiece 11 and the sheet workpiece 12 together.

[0043] It should be noted that the present application illustrates a schematic structural shape of the annular workpiece 11 and the sheet workpiece 12, which is not intended to limit the present application. The present solution can also be applied to the press fitting of annular workpieces and sheet workpieces with other structural shapes.

[0044] The automatic press-fitting equipment for automotive parts provided in this application involves a ring-shaped workpiece 11 pre-placed on the feeding plate 17 of the pusher assembly, and a sheet-shaped workpiece 12 pre-positioned on the lower positioning assembly. After the ring-shaped workpiece 11 passes the camera inspection by the camera module 14 on the feeding plate 17, it is transferred to the upper positioning assembly through the coordinated action of the first pusher cylinder 15 and the first lifting cylinder 16. The ring-shaped workpiece 11 is positioned by the positioning mechanism 19 of the upper positioning assembly. Then, the second lifting cylinder 18 presses the ring-shaped workpiece 11 downward into the sheet-shaped workpiece 12 positioned on the lower positioning assembly, thereby realizing the automatic press-fitting of the ring-shaped workpiece 11 and the sheet-shaped workpiece 12. This helps to save labor costs and improve assembly quality, resulting in high assembly efficiency and enabling high-efficiency production. In practical implementation, the camera module 14 can be used to inspect the conformity of the annular workpiece 11. For example, the camera module 14 can take pictures to check whether the holes on the annular workpiece 11 are machined, whether the placement of the annular workpiece 11 on the feeding plate 17 is correct, and whether there are defects in the outline of the annular workpiece 11, etc. The automatic pressing equipment of this application, based on realizing the automated pressing and fitting of the annular workpiece 11 and the sheet workpiece 12, has a simple overall structure, low cost, and high practicality. In specific implementation, after the first pushing cylinder 15 conveys the annular workpiece 11 to directly below the positioning mechanism 19, the second lifting cylinder 18 can be kept stationary. The annular workpiece 11 is transferred to the positioning mechanism 19 by the first lifting cylinder 16 moving it upward. Alternatively, the second lifting cylinder 18 can move the positioning mechanism 19 downward simultaneously while the first lifting cylinder 16 moves the annular workpiece 11 upward, thereby moving the annular workpiece 11 and the positioning mechanism 19 closer together. Finally, the annular workpiece 11 is transferred to the positioning mechanism 19. Then, after the first pushing cylinder 15 and the first lifting cylinder 16 reset the unloading plate 17, the second lifting cylinder 18 moves the annular workpiece 11 downward until the annular workpiece 11 and the sheet workpiece 12 are pressed together. Finally, the second lifting cylinder 18 moves the positioning mechanism 19 back to its original position.

[0045] As a preferred embodiment of this application, such as Figures 1 to 4As shown, a first mounting base 21 is connected to the piston rod of the first lifting cylinder 16, and the cylinder body of the first pushing cylinder 15 is fixed on the first mounting base 21. The worktable 13 is provided with a plurality of first guide posts 22, and the first mounting base 21 is provided with a first guide hole adapted to the plurality of first guide posts 22. The sliding cooperation between the first guide posts 22 and the first guide holes guides the first mounting base 21 to move up and down. Those skilled in the art will understand that the first mounting base 21 connected to the piston rod of the first lifting cylinder 16 facilitates the reliable and stable mounting of the first pushing cylinder 15 onto the first mounting base 21. When the first lifting cylinder 16 drives the first mounting base 21 to move up and down, the sliding cooperation between the first guide posts 22 and the first guide holes guides the up and down movement of the first mounting base 21, ensuring the stability of the movement, thereby enabling the first lifting cylinder 16 to drive the annular workpiece 11 to cooperate stably and smoothly with the positioning mechanism 19.

[0046] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first mounting base 21 is provided with multiple guide blocks 23, each guide block 23 having a second guide hole. The feeding plate 17 is connected to multiple second guide posts 24, and the sliding engagement of the second guide posts 24 with the second guide holes guides the feeding plate 17 to move horizontally. Preferably, the multiple second guide posts 24 and one end of the piston rod of the first pushing cylinder 15 can be connected together by a connecting block 25. Then, the feeding plate 17 is mounted on the connecting block 25. When the piston rod of the first pushing cylinder 15 extends and retracts, the connecting block 25 drives the second guide posts 24 to slide along the second guide holes, providing stable and reliable guidance for the horizontal movement of the feeding plate 17.

[0047] As a preferred embodiment of this application, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the feeding plate 17 is provided with a positioning ring 26, and a positioning groove 27 is formed within the positioning ring 26 to restrict the radial movement of the annular workpiece 11. Those skilled in the art will understand that by placing the annular workpiece 11 within the positioning groove 27, it is possible to prevent the annular workpiece 11 from shifting on the feeding plate 17 during the lifting and lowering process driven by the first lifting cylinder 16 and the horizontal movement of the feeding plate 17 driven by the first pushing cylinder 15. This ensures that after the first pushing cylinder 15 can precisely align the annular workpiece 11 with the positioning mechanism 19, the first lifting cylinder 16 can precisely engage the annular workpiece 11 with the positioning mechanism 19. Preferably, a foolproof surface or a foolproof protrusion can also be provided on the inner wall of the positioning ring 26 to prevent the annular workpiece 11 from foolproofly engaging with the positioning groove 27, allowing the annular workpiece 11 to be placed on the feeding plate 17 in a defined position and posture, thereby facilitating the camera module 14 to perform camera inspection.

[0048] As a preferred embodiment of this application, such as Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the positioning mechanism 19 includes a clamping cylinder 191 and two clamping members 192 connected to the clamping cylinder 191. The clamping cylinder 191 drives the two clamping members 192 to move closer to each other to clamp the annular workpiece 11 or to move further away from each other to release the annular workpiece 11. The clamping cylinder 191 can drive the clamping members 192 to perform a fast and stable clamping operation on the annular workpiece 11, and realize the automatic clamping and automatic release of the annular workpiece 11. Specifically, the two clamping members 192 can be provided with concave grooves respectively. When the two clamping members 192 are close together, the concave grooves on both sides cooperate to form an annular cavity that hugs the annular workpiece 11, thereby reliably limiting the position of the annular workpiece 11.

[0049] Furthermore, if Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a second mounting base 28 is connected to the piston rod of the second lifting cylinder 18. The clamping cylinder 191 is mounted on the second mounting base 28. The bottom of the second mounting base 28 is provided with a positioning post 29 for positioning the annular workpiece 11. The two clamping members 192 are located on both sides of the positioning post 29. When the two clamping members 192 are close to each other, they clamp the annular workpiece 11 onto the positioning post 29. Those skilled in the art will understand that by providing the second mounting base 28, the installation of the positioning mechanism 19 is facilitated, so that when the second lifting cylinder 18 drives the second mounting base 28 to rise and fall, the second mounting base 28 drives the positioning mechanism 19 to rise and fall synchronously. The bottom of the second mounting base 28 is provided with a positioning post 29 for positioning the annular workpiece 11. This allows the annular workpiece 11 to be pre-positioned on the positioning post 29 by the coordinated action of the first lifting cylinder 16 and the first pushing cylinder 15. The positioning post 29 achieves pre-positioning of the annular workpiece 11. Then, the clamping cylinder 191 drives the two clamping members 192 to clamp the annular workpiece 11, thereby improving the convenience of installing and positioning the annular workpiece 11 on the upper positioning assembly and improving the reliability of the upper positioning assembly in positioning the annular workpiece 11.

[0050] Furthermore, if Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the second mounting base 28 is provided with a third guide post 31, and the worktable 13 is provided with a third guide hole. The sliding cooperation between the third guide post 31 and the third guide hole guides the second mounting base 28 to move up and down, which improves the reliability and stability of the second lifting cylinder 18 driving the second mounting base 28 to move up and down, and enables the annular workpiece 11 and the sheet workpiece 12 to cooperate precisely.

[0051] As a preferred embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the lower positioning assembly includes a positioning slide plate 32, a second pusher cylinder 33, and a guide seat 34. The positioning slide plate 32 is located directly below the positioning mechanism 19 and is used to place the sheet-like workpiece 12. The positioning slide plate 32 is provided with a limiting structure for restricting the movement of the sheet-like workpiece 12. The piston rod of the second pusher cylinder 33 is connected to the positioning slide plate 32 so as to drive the positioning slide plate 32 to move horizontally. The guide seat 34 is fixed to the worktable 13 and is provided with a guide groove 341 for guiding the movement of the positioning slide plate 32. The positioning slide plate 32 is used to place the sheet workpiece 12. The positioning slide plate 32 is provided with a limiting structure to restrict the movement of the sheet workpiece 12. During the pressing process, the limiting structure can restrict the sheet workpiece 12 to avoid the sheet workpiece 12 jumping up and down or shifting horizontally on the positioning slide plate 32 and interfering with the pressing process. The second pusher cylinder 33 can drive the positioning slide plate 32 to move horizontally. Then, the second pusher cylinder 33 can drive the pressed annular workpiece 11 and sheet workpiece 12 to be removed from the worktable 13 and enter the preparation work for the next processing step. Regarding the limiting structure, in a preferred embodiment, the limiting structure may include multiple limiting blocks 35, which form a limiting cavity that substantially matches the contour of the sheet-like workpiece 12. The sheet-like workpiece 12 is disposed within the limiting cavity, and multiple limiting blocks 35 form multi-position and multi-directional stops and limits on the side of the sheet-like workpiece 12. In addition, the limiting structure may also include a pressing member 36 that can rotate relative to the positioning slide plate 32. During the pressing process, the pressing member 36 can press the sheet-like workpiece 12 to prevent the sheet-like workpiece 12 from jumping up and down on the positioning slide plate 32 and interfering with the pressing process. After the pressing is completed, the pressing member 36 is rotated to detach from the sheet-like workpiece 12, making it easy to remove the sheet-like workpiece 12 from the positioning slide plate 32.

[0052] As a preferred embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 9 As shown, the camera module 14 includes a mounting plate 141, a camera 142, and a display screen 143. The camera 142 is mounted on the side of the mounting plate 141 facing the feeding plate 17, and the display screen 143 is mounted on the side of the mounting plate 141 facing away from the feeding plate 17. Specifically, the camera 142 is used to capture and inspect the annular workpiece 11 placed on the feeding plate 17, and the display screen 143 can be used to display information data of the annular workpiece 11 captured by the camera 142 and to indicate whether the captured annular workpiece 11 is qualified.

[0053] As a preferred embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 10 As shown, the workbench 13 includes a base plate 131 and a top plate 132. The base plate 131 supports the top plate 132 via a support plate 133. The first lifting cylinder 16 and the second lifting cylinder 18 are mounted on the top plate 132, while the camera module 14 and the lower positioning assembly are mounted on the base plate 131. Furthermore, the mounting plate 141 for the lower positioning assembly and the camera module 14 is also mounted on the base plate 131. The workbench 13 of this application has a simple overall structure and occupies a small area.
