Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to an improved assembly equipment for automotive electric bridge filters, and more particularly to a filter paper loading mechanism for an electric bridge filter processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Automotive power bridge filters are used to filter transmission oil. They mainly consist of a cover plate, filter paper, an upper cover, a lower cover, and a pressure relief valve. The pressure relief valve includes a spring and a valve ball. The upper cover is coaxial with the pressure relief valve housing and is designed as a single unit, with the spring installed inside the hollow housing. The lower cover has a cantilever that engages with the other end of the housing, forming a cavity in which the valve ball is placed. The filter paper is formed into a cylindrical shape and fitted over the housing; one end of the filter paper is bonded to the upper cover, and the other end is bonded to the lower cover.

[0003] Existing filter paper bonding methods typically involve manual gluing and assembly, which results in low assembly efficiency and high labor costs. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the technical problems existing in the background art, the technical problem solved by the present invention is to provide a filter paper assembly mechanism that realizes automatic gluing, improves assembly speed and reduces production costs.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: the filter paper assembly mechanism is characterized in that it includes an adhesive applicator, wherein the adhesive applicator includes a crossbeam and adhesive applicator components.

[0006] The crossbeam spans the first and second gluing stations.

[0007] The gluing component is slidably mounted on the crossbeam. The gluing component moves laterally on the crossbeam to the first gluing station or the second gluing station. The gluing component includes a gluing head.

[0008] The gluing component of this invention can apply glue to two workstations, with both workstations sharing one gluing component, which can achieve automatic gluing and reduce equipment costs.

[0009] Preferably, the gluing component further includes a first driving member for driving the gluing head to move up and down. During gluing, the first driving member drives the gluing head to move down closer to the gluing area, resulting in uniform and precise gluing.

[0010] Preferably, the first gluing station and the second gluing station are arranged symmetrically in the horizontal direction.

[0011] A guide rail is provided below the crossbeam, and a workpiece seat is slidably mounted on the guide rail. The workpiece seat moves along the guide rail from the first gluing station to the second gluing station.

[0012] The workpiece seat is provided with a first workpiece groove and a second workpiece groove, and the first workpiece groove and the second workpiece groove are arranged longitudinally side by side at the first gluing station and the second gluing station.

[0013] At the first gluing station, the gluing head corresponds to the first workpiece slot; at the second gluing station, the gluing head corresponds to the second workpiece slot. The first and second gluing stations are arranged side by side laterally. The gluing components only need to move laterally to correspond to the gluing position on the workpiece seat. This not only simplifies the structure and reduces equipment costs, but also allows the gluing components to be positioned more quickly.

[0014] Preferably, both the first workpiece groove and the second workpiece groove have through holes penetrating the workpiece seat.

[0015] The first and second gluing stations are respectively equipped with a first rotating component and a second rotating component. The first and second rotating components are located below the workpiece seat and correspond to the through holes of the first workpiece groove on the workpiece seat of the first gluing station and the second workpiece groove on the workpiece seat of the second gluing station, respectively. During gluing, the gluing head remains stationary, and the first or second rotating component passes through the through hole of the corresponding station, causing the end cap of the corresponding station to rotate. The end cap rotates relative to the gluing head, so that the glue extruded from the gluing head is applied into the mounting groove of the end cap in a circular shape.

[0016] Preferably, the first rotating component includes a top plate that can move up and down and a second driving component that drives the top plate to rotate. The outer diameter of the top plate is smaller than the diameter of the through hole. When the top plate moves up, it pushes the end cap of the corresponding workstation to move up, so that the end cap does not contact the workpiece seat. The second driving component drives the top plate to rotate, so that the end cap rotates.

[0017] Preferably, a counterweight removal station is provided between the first and second gluing stations. This counterweight removal station is equipped with a counterweight removal device, which includes a clamping component, a steering component that drives the clamping component to rotate vertically, a vibrating component that drives the clamping component to move up and down reciprocally, and a lifting component that drives the clamping component to move up and down. After one end cap and filter paper are glued and bonded at the first gluing station, at the counterweight removal station, the clamping component picks up the filter paper with one end fully assembled and moves it upwards to detach it from the workpiece seat. The steering component rotates the filter paper vertically 180 degrees so that the unassembled end with the counterweight is facing downwards. Then, the vibrating component vibrates to detach the counterweight from the filter paper, and the clamping component moves downwards to deliver the rotated and counterweight-removed filter paper onto the workpiece seat.

[0018] Preferably, the counterweight removal device further includes a moving component that drives the clamping member to move horizontally, and the clamping member is horizontally reset after being driven to turn by the moving component; if the horizontal position of the filter paper relative to the workpiece seat changes after being flipped, it is horizontally reset by the moving component.

[0019] The lifting component drives the clamping member to rise to the shaking station, providing operating space for the de-counterweight shaking.

[0020] Preferably, the steering component includes a rotating shaft;

[0021] The shaking component includes a sliding plate and a sliding base, wherein the sliding plate moves vertically up and down on the sliding base;

[0022] The movable component includes a movable base, on which a first guide rail is horizontally arranged;

[0023] The lifting component includes a vertically arranged second guide rail;

[0024] The clamping member is mounted on the rotating shaft, the rotating shaft is rotatably mounted on the slide plate, the slide block is slidably mounted on the first guide rail, and the movable seat is raised and lowered on the second guide rail.

[0025] Preferably, the workpiece holder is connected to a transmission chain that drives it to move on the guide rail. The transmission chain is mounted on a transmission wheel, which is connected to a motor that drives it to rotate horizontally. The motor drives the transmission wheel to rotate, and the transmission wheel drives the transmission chain to move, causing the workpiece holder to move along the guide rail.

[0031] Figure label: Detailed Implementation

[0032] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, details the embodiments and working principles of the present invention. In the figures, the X-axis represents the longitudinal direction (also the front-to-back direction), the Y-axis represents the transverse direction (also the left-to-right direction), and the Z-axis represents the vertical direction (also the up-down direction). The orientations or positions indicated by the present invention are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description.

[0033] This filter paper assembly mechanism includes an adhesive applicator 1 and a counterweight removal device. The adhesive applicator 1 applies adhesive to the mounting grooves of the upper end cover 41 and the lower end cover 42, bonding the filter paper to the mounting groove of the upper end cover 41 after adhesive application. At this time, the end without the lower end cover faces upward. The counterweight removal device will rotate the filter paper 40 with the upper end cover installed by 180 degrees, so that the end without the lower end cover is facing downward, bonding the other end of the filter paper to the mounting groove of the lower end cover 42 after adhesive application.

[0034] The gluing device 1 includes a gluing component and a crossbeam 30, which spans the first gluing station 11 and the second gluing station 13. The gluing component is slidably mounted on the crossbeam 30 and moves laterally on the crossbeam to either the first or second gluing station. By moving along the crossbeam 30, the gluing component can apply glue to both stations, allowing both stations to share a single gluing component. This achieves automated gluing and reduces equipment costs. The gluing component includes a gluing head 29 through which glue is extruded and applied into the mounting groove of the upper end cover 41 or the lower end cover 42. The gluing component also includes a first driving component that drives the gluing head to move up and down during gluing. During gluing, the first driving component drives the gluing head to move down into the mounting groove.

[0035] The first gluing station 11 and the second gluing station 13 are arranged symmetrically in the transverse direction, and a counterweight removal station 12 is provided between the first gluing station 11 and the second gluing station 13. The filter paper initial installation component 2 and the filter paper secondary installation component 5 are respectively located at the first gluing station 11 and the second gluing station 13. The counterweight removal device is located at the counterweight removal station 12. The filter paper initial installation component bonds one end of the filter paper to the upper end cap after gluing, and the filter paper secondary installation component bonds the other end of the filter paper to the lower end cap after gluing. A guide rail 3 is provided below the crossbeam 30, and a workpiece seat 6 is slidably mounted on the guide rail. The workpiece seat 6 passes sequentially along the guide rail 3 through the first gluing station 11, the counterweight removal station 12, and the second gluing station 13. The workpiece seat 6 has a first workpiece groove 7 and a second workpiece groove 9. The upper end cap 41 is placed in the first workpiece groove 7, and the lower end cap 42 is placed in the second workpiece groove 9. (See attached image) Figure 1 The first workpiece slot 7 and the second workpiece slot 9 are arranged longitudinally side by side at the first gluing station 11 and the second gluing station 13, with a filter paper workpiece slot 8 between them. Uninstalled filter paper 40 is placed in the filter paper workpiece slot 8. At the first gluing station 11, the gluing head 29 corresponds to the first workpiece slot 7 and applies glue to the upper end cap 41. At the second gluing station 13, the gluing head 29 corresponds to the second workpiece slot 9 and applies glue to the lower end cap 42. The gluing component only needs to move laterally to correspond to the gluing position on the workpiece seat 6, which not only simplifies the structure and reduces equipment cost, but also allows the gluing component to be positioned more quickly.

[0036] The workpiece holder 6 is connected to a transmission chain that drives it to move on the guide rail 3. The transmission chain is mounted on a transmission wheel, which is connected to a motor that drives it to rotate horizontally. The motor drives the transmission wheel to rotate, which in turn drives the transmission chain, causing the workpiece holder 6 to move along the guide rail. Several workpiece holders 6 are evenly distributed along the transmission chain, with one workpiece holder 6 corresponding to each workstation. All workstations can operate simultaneously, and the workpiece holders 6 work in coordination at each workstation, thus improving production efficiency.

[0037] The two ends of the filter paper are respectively bonded to the upper end cap 41 and the lower end cap 42. Ideally, the shape of the adhesive application should match the shape of the bonding position; therefore, a circular shape is best. Both the first workpiece groove 7 and the second workpiece groove 9 have through holes penetrating the workpiece seat 6. The first gluing station 11 and the second gluing station 13 are respectively equipped with a first rotating component and a second rotating component. The first and second rotating components are located below the workpiece seat 6 and correspond to the through holes of the first workpiece groove 7 on the workpiece seat 6 of the first gluing station 11 and the second workpiece groove 9 on the workpiece seat 6 of the second gluing station 13, respectively. During gluing, the gluing head 29 remains stationary. The first or second rotating component passes through the through hole of the corresponding station, causing the end cap of the corresponding station to rotate. The end cap rotates relative to the gluing head 29, so that the adhesive extruded by the gluing head 29 is applied into the mounting groove of the end cap in a circular shape. The first rotating component includes a top plate that moves up and down and a driving component that drives the top plate to rotate. The outer diameter of the top plate is smaller than the diameter of the through hole. The top plate moves upward through the through hole and pushes the end cap of the corresponding station upward, so that the end cap does not contact the workpiece seat 6. The driving component drives the top plate to rotate, causing the end cap to rotate. The second rotating component can also adopt the same structure.

[0038] The counterweight removal device includes a clamping member 31, a steering component 32 that drives the clamping member to rotate vertically, a vibrating component that drives the clamping member to move up and down reciprocally, and a lifting component that drives the clamping member to move up and down. The clamping member 31 grips and moves the filter paper semi-finished product with one end fully assembled, causing it to detach from the workpiece seat 6. The steering component 32 rotates the filter paper vertically by 180 degrees, so that the end with the counterweight 39 faces downwards. The vibrating component drives the clamping member to move up and down rapidly in short strokes, achieving a vibrating effect and causing the counterweight 39 to detach from the filter paper semi-finished product. After the counterweight 39 is removed from the filter paper semi-finished product, the clamping member 31 moves down to deliver the rotated and counterweight-removed filter paper semi-finished product onto the workpiece seat 6.

[0039] The counterweight removal device also includes a moving component that drives the clamping member to move horizontally. After the moving component drives the clamping member 31 to turn, it returns to its horizontal position. See appendix. Figure 3After the filter paper semi-finished product is flipped, its horizontal position relative to the workpiece seat 6 changes. The position of the flipped filter paper semi-finished product does not correspond to the position of the filter paper on the workpiece seat 6. Therefore, the moving component is used to restore its horizontal position. This causes the lifting component to drive the clamping component downwards, and the filter paper semi-finished product returns to the position for picking up the filter paper. The lifting component drives the clamping component to rise to the shaking station, providing operating space for the counterweight shaking.

[0040] The steering component 32 includes a rotating shaft; the vibrating component includes a sliding plate 33 and a sliding base 34, the sliding plate 33 vertically reciprocating on the sliding base 34; the moving component includes a moving seat 37, the moving seat 37 being provided with a horizontally arranged first guide rail 36; the lifting component includes a vertically arranged second guide rail 38; the clamping member 31 is mounted on the rotating shaft, the rotating shaft is rotatably mounted on the sliding plate 33, the sliding base 34 is slidably mounted on the first guide rail 36, and the moving seat 37 lifts and lowers on the second guide rail 38. The movement, lifting, and rotation of each component can be achieved by a cylinder drive, or by a motor combined with a lead screw mechanism, synchronous belt, gear rack, or other structures.

[0041] The working principle of the preferred embodiment is further explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings: The upper end cover 41, filter paper 40, and lower end cover 42 are sequentially placed in the first workpiece slot 7, filter paper workpiece slot 8, and second workpiece slot 9 of the workpiece seat 6. The transmission chain moves the workpiece seat 6 along the guide rail 3 to the first gluing station 11. The gluing head 29 moves downward, and the top plate of the first rotating component moves upward, pushing the upper end cover 41 of the first gluing station 11 upward, so that the gluing head 29 enters or approaches the mounting slot of the upper end cover 41. The gluing head 29 squeezes out the glue, and the top plate drives the upper end cover 41 to rotate one revolution. After the upper end cover 41 completes the gluing, the top plate moves downward and resets, and the upper end cover 41 is placed in the first workpiece slot 7. The gluing head 29 moves upward and along the crossbeam 30 to the second gluing station 13 to apply glue to the lower end cover 42 of the second gluing station 13. After the upper end cover 41 is glued, the filter paper first installation component 2 sends the filter paper to the upper end cover and bonds it to the upper end cover; after the lower end cover 42 is glued, the filter paper second installation component 5 sends the filter paper semi-finished product (one end of the filter paper is bonded to the upper end cover) to the lower end cover and bonds it to the lower end cover.

[0042] After each workstation completes its work, such as after the first gluing workstation finishes bonding the filter paper to the upper end cap, the transmission chain drives the workpiece seat 6 to move along the guide rail 3 to the counterweight removal workstation 12. At the counterweight removal workstation 12, the clamping member 31 clamps the filter paper semi-finished product. Then, the lifting component drives the clamping member to move upward, and the filter paper semi-finished product leaves the workpiece seat 6. The turning component 32 drives the clamping member to rotate 180 degrees clockwise, so that the counterweight block 39 of the filter paper semi-finished product faces downward and the upper end cap 41 faces upward. The moving component drives the clamping member to move horizontally above the filter paper workpiece groove 8. The shaking component drives the clamping member 31 to move up and down quickly and back and forth. The short-stroke rapid movement causes the counterweight block 39 to detach from the filter paper. Then, the lifting component drives the clamping member to move downward, and sends the filter paper semi-finished product with the counterweight block removed to the filter paper workpiece groove 8. After the filter paper semi-finished product on the workpiece seat 6 is de-counted and flipped at the de-counterweight station 12, it is sent to the second gluing station 13 and waits for gluing.
