[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model provides an automated pulley assembly device, including a fixed plate 1 and a vibrating plate 6. A first movable plate 3 is slidably connected to the front outer wall of the fixed plate 1. A lifting cylinder 12 is fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the first movable plate 3. A second movable plate 5 is fixedly connected to the movable end of the lifting cylinder 12. A translation cylinder 4 is fixedly connected to the front outer wall of the fixed plate 1. A material suction mechanism 2 is provided on the front outer wall of the second movable plate 5. A slide rail 7 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the vibrating plate 6. A first bracket 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the slide rail 7. A second bracket 9 is provided at the front end of the fixed plate 1. A misalignment cylinder 10 is fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the second bracket 9. A material arrival detector 11 is fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the second bracket 9.

[0021] Using the above scheme: The pulleys to be assembled can be placed in the vibratory plate 6, which is existing technology. The vibration of the vibratory plate 6 can arrange the pulleys in an orderly manner and transport them to the slide rail 7 through the opening of the vibratory plate 6. The slide rail 7 is equipped with a conveyor belt, which is existing technology. After the pulleys are transported on the slide rail 7, they will come into contact with the material arrival detector 11. The material arrival detector 11 is a gravity sensor. When the pulley moves above it, it senses the gravity of the pulley and transmits the signal to the lifting cylinder 12 through the power system. The moving end of the lifting cylinder 12 moves downward, driving the second moving plate 5 to move downward synchronously, so that the suction mechanism 2 picks up the pulley for the next operation.

[0022] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the movable end of the translation cylinder 4 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first moving plate 3, and the slide 7 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the material arrival detector 11; the second moving plate 5 is slidably connected to the front end outer wall of the first moving plate 3, and the misalignment cylinder 10 is in contact with the outer wall of the material arrival detector 11.

[0023] Using the above scheme: After the suction mechanism 2 picks up the pulley, the movable end of the lifting cylinder 12 moves upward, driving the second moving plate 5 to move upward synchronously with the suction mechanism 2. Then, the translation cylinder 4 is activated, and its movable end drives the first moving plate 3 to move. The first moving plate 3 moves to the side away from the vibrating plate 6, so that the second moving plate 5 and the suction mechanism 2 move synchronously. This drives the pulley to move synchronously to the next station operation, completing the assembly of the pulley. This automated equipment is convenient to use, does not require operators to operate each pulley individually, reduces operator intervention, and lowers the workload of operators.

[0024] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the suction mechanism 2 includes a fixed block 201, a vacuum suction pipe 202 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed block 201, a connecting block 203 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the bottom end of the fixed block 201, a trapezoidal block 205 slidably connected to the inner wall of the connecting block 203, a connecting rod 206 slidably connected to the inner wall of the connecting block 203, a locking block 208 elastically connected to the inner wall of the connecting block 203 by a telescopic spring 207, a mounting plate 209 locking onto the inner wall of the connecting block 203, a suction disc 204 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the mounting plate 209, and a slot 210 formed on the outer wall of the mounting plate 209.

[0025] The above solution is adopted as follows: The vacuum suction pipe 202 is existing technology. A vacuum pump is installed above it, and a connecting pipe is installed below the vacuum pump. The connecting pipe is located inside the fixed block 201, and its lower opening corresponds to the opening of the suction plate 204. When the suction plate 204 is installed in the mounting plate 209, the suction plate 204 contacts the pulley, and the vacuum pump draws air to form a negative pressure in the connecting pipe, which can lift the pulley for movement. Two sets of connecting rods 206, telescopic springs 207, and locking blocks 208 are provided and symmetrically distributed in the inner walls of both sides of the connecting block 203. When there is no external force, the telescopic springs 207 drive the locking blocks 208 to pop out due to their own elasticity and engage with the locking grooves 210, which can fix the suction plate 204 and the mounting plate 209 in the connecting block 203. In this state, the two sets of connecting rods 206 contact the short side wall of the trapezoidal block 205, and the long side outer wall of the trapezoidal block 205 penetrates the outer wall of the connecting block 203.

[0026] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the fixing block 201 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the front end of the second moving plate 5, one end of the connecting rod 206 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the locking block 208, and the other end of the connecting rod 206 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the trapezoidal block 205; one end of the telescopic spring 207 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the locking block 208, and the other end of the telescopic spring 207 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting block 203; the outer wall of the locking block 208 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the connecting block 203, and the locking block 208 is engaged with the locking groove 210.

[0027] Using the above method: By pressing the long outer wall of the trapezoidal block 205, the two sets of connecting rods 206 are squeezed, causing them to move laterally to both sides until they contact the long side wall of the trapezoidal block 205. This causes the two sets of locking blocks 208 to move to both sides and disengage from the locking groove 210, allowing the mounting plate 209 and suction plate 204 to be removed and replaced according to the size of the pulley. When installing the suction plate 204 and mounting plate 209, the long outer wall of the trapezoidal block 205 is also pressed, causing the two sets of locking blocks 208 to move to the connecting block. In the inner wall of 203, the telescopic spring 207 contracts under force, allowing the mounting plate 209 to be inserted into the lower inner wall of the connecting block 203. Then, the elastic force of the telescopic spring 207 causes the locking block 208 to pop out and engage with the locking groove 210, thus fixing the suction plate 204 to the mounting plate 209. After installation, the top opening of the suction plate 204 contacts and corresponds to the lower opening of the vacuum suction pipe 202, allowing the vacuum pump to suck up the pulley. This installation and disassembly process is relatively convenient, without the need to disassemble or install it by rotating bolts, saving time and effort.

[0028] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:

[0029] First, the pulleys to be assembled are placed in the vibratory plate 6. The vibratory plate 6 uses vibration to arrange the pulleys in an orderly manner and transports the pulleys to the slide rail 7 through its opening. When the pulleys are transported on the slide rail 7 and move above the material arrival detector 11, the material arrival detector 11 senses the weight of the pulleys and transmits a signal to the lifting cylinder 12 through the power system. Then, the movable end of the lifting cylinder 12 drives the second moving plate 5, which is fixedly connected to it, to move downwards synchronously, thereby bringing the suction mechanism 2 installed on the outer wall of the front end of the second moving plate 5 closer to the pulleys.

[0030] A vacuum pump is installed above the vacuum suction pipe 202 in the suction mechanism 2. The connecting pipe below the vacuum pump is located inside the fixed block 201, and its lower opening corresponds to the opening of the suction plate 204. When the suction plate 204 contacts the pulley, the vacuum pump draws air to create a negative pressure in the connecting pipe, which lifts the pulley. Then, the movable end of the lifting cylinder 12 moves upward, driving the second moving plate 5 to move upward synchronously with the suction mechanism 2. Then, the translation cylinder 4 is activated, and its movable end drives the first moving plate 3 to move away from the vibrating plate 6, so that the second moving plate 5 and the suction mechanism 2 move synchronously, driving the lifted pulley to move for the next assembly operation. Thus, the unloading and assembly of the pulley can be completed without the intervention of the operator, which is more convenient and faster, and reduces the workload of the operator.

[0031] In the suction mechanism 2, when the suction disc 204 needs to be replaced for pulleys of different sizes and specifications, the two sets of connecting rods 206 are squeezed by pressing the long side outer wall of the trapezoidal block 205, causing the connecting rods 206 to move laterally to both sides and until they contact the long side wall of the trapezoidal block 205. This causes the two sets of locking blocks 208 to move to both sides and disengage from the locking groove 210, allowing the mounting plate 209 and the suction disc 204 to be removed for replacement. During installation, the long side outer wall of the trapezoidal block 205 is pressed to move the two sets of locking blocks 208 into the inner wall of the connecting block 203. The mounting plate 209 is then inserted into the lower inner wall of the connecting block 203. Subsequently, the locking blocks 208 are ejected and engaged with the locking groove 210 by the elastic force of the telescopic spring 207, completing the fixing and installation of the suction disc 204 and the mounting plate 209. This eliminates the need for multiple rotations of bolts during installation and disassembly, saving time and effort.
