Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of automatic assembly devices, and in particular to an automatic assembly device for chain parts. Background Technology

[0002] A chain is a mechanical component consisting of multiple rings (links) that are interconnected to form a continuous closed structure.

[0003] like Figure 1 As shown, during the chain production process, the chain is assembled in steps, requiring the installation pins 7 to be inserted into the chain plates 6. The existing assembly method involves the operator first placing the chain plate in the pressing area, then partially inserting the two installation pins into the chain plate, and finally using a pressing component to press the installation pins, creating an interference fit between the installation pins and the chain plate, thus achieving initial chain assembly. This method is slow in assembling the installation pins and chain plates, affecting the overall efficiency of the assembly and needs improvement. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide an automatic assembly device for chain parts, which improves the efficiency of assembling the mounting pin and the chain plate as a whole.

[0005] The automatic assembly device for chain parts provided in this application adopts the following technical solution: it includes an assembly table, a feeding shell connected to the assembly table, the feeding shell having a receiving cavity, a sliding channel on the assembly table communicating with the receiving cavity, a first driving component connected to the assembly table for driving the chain plate to slide away from the feeding shell, a pressing component connected to the assembly table corresponding to the sliding channel, two feed pipes connected to the assembly table, and a second driving component connected to the assembly table for driving the mounting pin in the feed pipe to slide closer to the pressing component.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple chain plates are placed into the receiving cavity and multiple mounting pins are placed into the feed pipes at the same time. The chain plate at the bottom falls into the sliding channel under the influence of gravity. The first drive component drives the chain plate in the sliding channel to slide away from the discharge shell, so that the chain plate corresponds to the pressing component. When the chain plate in the sliding channel slides away from the discharge shell, the chain plate in the receiving cavity falls, and the chain plate at the bottom of the receiving cavity falls into the sliding channel, realizing the sequential feeding of chain plates. The second drive component drives the mounting pins at the discharge ends of the two feed pipes to slide towards the pressing component, so that the mounting pins correspond to the chain plates. The pressing component presses the mounting pins and chain plates together, and the mounting pins and chain plates are press-fitted, realizing the assembly of the mounting pins and chain plates. The automated assembly of mounting pins and chain plates improves the efficiency of the overall assembly of mounting pins and chain plates.

[0007] Optionally, the assembly table is provided with a clearance groove for the installation pin to be engaged, and the clearance groove is connected to the sliding channel.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, when the pressing component presses the mounting pin, the mounting pin is engaged in the clearance groove, that is, part of the mounting pin passes through the chain plate, thereby improving the interference fit between the mounting pin and the chain plate.

[0009] Optionally, the first driving assembly includes a carrier plate slidably connected to the assembly table, a first driving member for driving the carrier plate to slide towards or away from the discharge shell, a pusher plate slidably connected to the carrier plate, and a second driving member for driving the pusher plate to slide towards or away from the sliding channel. The first driving member is connected to the assembly table, the second driving member is connected to the carrier plate, and the pusher plate is provided with a plurality of receiving slots that cooperate with the chain plate. The plurality of receiving slots are spaced apart along the moving direction of the chain plate.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, when the chain plate needs to slide away from the discharge shell, the second driving component drives the push plate to slide towards the sliding channel, causing the chain plate in the sliding channel to engage in the receiving groove. The first driving component drives the carrier plate to slide away from the discharge shell, i.e., the push plate slides away from the discharge shell. During the movement of the push plate, the inner wall of the receiving groove abuts against the chain plate and drives the chain plate to slide away from the discharge shell. The second driving component drives the push plate to slide away from the sliding channel, causing the chain plate in the sliding channel to disengage from the receiving groove. The first driving component drives the carrier plate to slide towards the discharge shell, and the second driving component drives the push plate to slide towards the sliding channel, causing the chain plate to engage in another receiving groove. Repeating the above steps, the chain plate can slide away from the discharge shell one station at a time until the chain plate corresponds to the pressing component. After the mounting pin and chain plate are assembled, the above steps will remove the assembled mounting pin and chain plate from the assembly area.

[0011] Optionally, the pressing assembly includes a pressing plate slidably connected to the assembly table and a third driving member for driving the pressing plate to slide toward or away from the sliding channel, the third driving member being connected to the assembly table, and the pressing plate corresponding to the sliding channel.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, after the second drive component moves the mounting pin to the chain plate, the third drive component drives the pressing plate to slide towards the mounting pin. The pressing plate abuts against the mounting pin and drives the mounting pin to be inserted into the clearance groove, thereby achieving an interference fit between the mounting pin and the chain plate.

[0013] Optionally, the assembly platform is connected to a plurality of support columns, the support columns are connected to support plates, the pressing plate is provided with guide holes for sliding cooperation with the support columns, and the third driving component is connected to the support plate.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, when the third driving component drives the pressing plate to slide, the sliding cooperation between the support column and the guide hole plays a guiding and limiting role in the sliding of the pressing plate, thereby improving the stability of the pressing plate sliding, that is, improving the effect of the pressing plate pressing the installation pin.

[0015] Optionally, the second drive assembly includes a receiving plate slidably connected to the assembly table, a fourth drive member for driving the receiving plate to slide towards or away from the sliding channel, and two limiting blocks rotatably connected to the receiving plate. A limiting groove for inserting a mounting pin is formed between the limiting block and the receiving plate. The receiving plate is connected to a reset member for resetting the limiting block.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the mounting pin in the feed pipe falls into the limiting groove under the influence of gravity. The fourth driving component drives the receiving plate to slide towards the sliding channel. The receiving plate abuts against the mounting pin and drives the mounting pin to slide towards the sliding channel, so that the mounting pin moves to the chain plate. At this time, the mounting pin in the feed pipe falls onto the upper surface of the receiving plate under the influence of gravity. The upper part of the mounting pin at the bottom is stuck in the feed pipe to prevent the mounting pin from moving when the receiving plate moves. After the mounting pin in the limiting groove is assembled on the receiving plate, the fourth driving component drives the receiving plate to slide away from the sliding channel. The mounting pin applies force to the limiting block, and the limiting block rotates, causing the mounting pin in the limiting groove to disengage from the limiting groove. The reset component drives the limiting block to reset, facilitating operation again. When the limiting groove moves to the outlet of the feed pipe, the bottom mounting pin falls into the limiting groove and completely disengages from the feed pipe. When the receiving plate slides towards the sliding channel, it can drive the mounting pin to slide towards the sliding channel, thus realizing sequential material feeding.

[0017] Optionally, the end of the material feeding shell away from the assembly table is provided with a guide surface, which is used to abut against the chain plate.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the guide surface plays a guiding role in the installation of the chain plate, thereby improving the efficiency of the chain plate installation in the receiving cavity.

[0019] Optionally, the assembly table is connected to a sensor, a controller, and an alarm. The sensor corresponds to the receiving cavity and is located between the guide surface and the sliding channel. Both the sensor and the alarm are electrically connected to the controller.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, when the sensor detects that there is no chain plate in the receiving cavity, the sensor outputs a signal to the controller. The controller receives the signal and outputs a signal to the alarm, which sounds to remind the operator to add a chain plate.

[0021] Optionally, the discharge shell is provided with an installation groove, which communicates with the receiving cavity and is distributed along the length of the discharge shell.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the operator's fingers can be inserted into the receiving cavity through the installation slot, making it easy to add the chain plate into the receiving cavity.

[0023] Optionally, the assembly table is connected to a discharge plate, which is located at the discharge port of the sliding channel. The discharge plate is inclined, with the end of the discharge plate closer to the sliding channel higher than the end of the discharge plate farther from the sliding channel.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the assembled mounting pin and chain plate are pushed to the discharge plate by the push plate, and the mounting pin and chain plate move along the inclined direction of the discharge plate for easy collection.

[0025] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0026] 1. The second drive component drives the mounting pins at the discharge ends of the two feed pipes to slide towards the pressing component, aligning the mounting pins with the chain plates. The pressing component then presses the mounting pins against the chain plates, creating an interference fit and assembling the mounting pins and chain plates. This automated assembly of the mounting pins and chain plates improves the overall assembly efficiency.

[0027] 2. When the pressing component presses the mounting pin, it causes the mounting pin to engage in the clearance groove, that is, part of the mounting pin passes through the chain plate, improving the interference fit between the mounting pin and the chain plate. Attached Figure Description

[0044] Combination Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, two feed pipes 16 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the assembly table 1. One end of each feed pipe 16 is fixedly connected to a vibrating screen (not shown in the attached figure). The mounting pin 7 is inserted into the vibrating screen and moves to the feed pipe 16 through the vibrating screen. The assembly table 1 is connected to a second drive assembly 5. The second drive assembly 5 drives the mounting pin 7 at the discharge end of the feed pipe 16 to slide towards the pressing plate 41. The second drive assembly 5 includes a receiving plate 51 slidably connected to the assembly table 1, a fourth drive component 52 for driving the receiving plate 51 to slide towards or away from the pressing plate 41, and two limiting blocks 53 rotatably connected to the receiving plate 51.

The discharge plate 17 is inclined, with the end of the discharge plate 17 closer to the sliding channel 11 higher than the end of the discharge plate 17 farther from the sliding channel 11.

[0045] The implementation principle of the automatic assembly device for chain parts in this application is as follows:

[0046] The second driving member 34 drives the push plate 33 to slide towards the sliding channel 11, causing the chain plate 6 in the sliding channel 11 to engage in the receiving groove 331. The first driving member 32 drives the carrier plate 31 to slide away from the discharge shell 2, that is, the push plate 33 slides away from the discharge shell 2. During the movement of the push plate 33, the inner wall of the receiving groove 331 abuts against the chain plate 6 and drives the chain plate 6 to slide away from the discharge shell 2. The second driving member 34 drives the push plate 33 to slide away from the sliding channel 11, causing the chain plate 6 in the sliding channel 11 to disengage from the receiving groove 331. The first driving member 32 drives the carrier plate 31 to slide towards the discharge shell 2, and the second driving member 34 drives the push plate 33 to slide towards the sliding channel 11, causing the chain plate 6 to engage in another receiving groove 331. Repeating the above steps, the chain plate 6 can slide away from the discharge shell 2 one station at a time until the chain plate 6 corresponds to the pressing part of the pressing plate 41.

[0047] The fourth driving component 52 drives the receiving plate 51 to slide towards the sliding channel 11. The receiving plate 51 abuts against the mounting pin 7 and drives the mounting pin 7 to slide towards the sliding channel 11, so that the mounting pin 7 moves to the chain plate 6. At this time, the mounting pin 7 in the feed pipe 16 falls on the upper surface of the receiving plate 51 due to gravity. The upper part of the mounting pin 7 at the bottom is stuck in the feed pipe 16 to prevent the mounting pin 7 from dislodging from the feed pipe 16 when the receiving plate 51 moves. The third driving component 42 drives the pressing plate 41 to slide towards the sliding channel 11. The pressing plate 41 abuts against the mounting pin 7, so that one end of the mounting pin 7 is stuck into the relief groove 12, realizing the interference fit between the mounting pin 7 and the chain plate 6. The fourth driving component 52 drives the receiving plate 51 to slide away from the sliding channel 11. The mounting pin 7 applies force to the limiting block 53, causing the limiting block 53 to rotate. This disengages the mounting pin 7 from the limiting groove 511, and the reset component resets the limiting block 53 for easy reoperation. When the limiting groove 511 moves to the outlet of the feed pipe 16, the lowest mounting pin 7 falls into the limiting groove 511, completely disengaging from the feed pipe 16. The assembled chain plate 6 and mounting pin 7 are moved to the discharge plate 17 via the push plate 33 for easy collection.

[0048] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
