Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated production and processing technology, and in particular to a spring assembly mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, rising labor costs are forcing more product manufacturing processes to shift towards automation and mass production. However, in the increasingly prevalent fully automated precision industrial production lines, the tiny size of springs poses a challenge for robots in picking them up during assembly. Therefore, to prevent robot malfunctions that could disrupt assembly, manual assembly of these tiny springs is still commonly used in current technology. This method significantly impacts overall production efficiency and capacity.
[0003] Therefore, existing technologies have shortcomings and need to be improved. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a spring assembly mechanism.
[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A spring assembly mechanism is provided, including: a spring feeding mechanism, an X-axis transport module disposed next to the spring feeding mechanism, a motion bracket disposed on the motion end of the X-axis transport module, a spring feeding mechanism disposed on the motion bracket, and an air blowing and discharging mechanism disposed next to the spring feeding mechanism. The spring feeding mechanism includes a plurality of spring placement holes, which correspond to the spring feeding mechanism and the air blowing and discharging mechanism respectively during the movement of the spring feeding mechanism.
[0006] Furthermore, the spring feeding mechanism further includes: a rotating platform disposed on the moving bracket, a rotating bracket disposed on the output end of the rotating platform, and a picking arm disposed on the rotating bracket. The spring placement hole is disposed on the picking arm, and the rotating platform drives the rotating bracket to rotate, so that the placement hole on the picking arm corresponds to the spring placement hole and the air blowing feeding mechanism, respectively.
[0007] Furthermore, the rotating platform is a pneumatic turntable.
[0008] Furthermore, the rotating platform is an electric turntable.
[0009] Furthermore, the rotating bracket is provided with an adsorption mechanism, which includes: an adsorption cylinder disposed on the rotating bracket, an adsorption rod disposed on the output end of the adsorption cylinder, and a magnet disposed on the end of the adsorption rod. When the adsorption cylinder pushes out the adsorption rod, the magnet moves closer to the spring placement hole.
[0010] Furthermore, the spring feeding mechanism includes: a spring guide groove, a spring pushing cylinder disposed beside the spring guide groove, and a push arm disposed on the output end of the spring pushing cylinder. The front end of the push arm is located inside the spring guide groove, and the spring pushing cylinder drives the push arm to reciprocate along the spring guide groove.
[0011] By adopting the above solution, this utility model transfers the spring through the spring placement hole of the spring feeding mechanism, and blows the spring out of the spring placement hole through the air blowing and discharging mechanism, so that the spring falls into the installation area. This effectively meets the needs of picking up and transferring small springs and automating assembly operations, reduces manual operation, and improves the overall production and assembly efficiency. Attached Figure Description
[0012] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this utility model. Detailed Implementation
[0013] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0014] Please see Figure 1 This utility model provides a spring assembly mechanism, including: a spring feeding mechanism 1, an X-axis transport module 2 disposed beside the spring feeding mechanism 1, a motion bracket 21 disposed on the moving end of the X-axis transport module 2, a spring feeding mechanism 3 disposed on the motion bracket 21, and an air blowing and discharging mechanism 4 disposed beside the spring feeding mechanism 3. The spring feeding mechanism 3 includes a plurality of spring placement holes 331, which correspond to the spring feeding mechanism 1 and the air blowing and discharging mechanism 4 respectively during the movement of the spring feeding mechanism 3.
[0015] During operation, tiny springs are supplied via the spring feeding mechanism 1. When the spring feeding mechanism 1 feeds springs, the spring placement hole 331 of the spring feeding mechanism 3 corresponds to the spring output position of the spring feeding mechanism 1. The spring feeding mechanism 1 pushes the tiny springs into the spring placement hole 331 of the spring feeding mechanism 3. Then, the X-axis transport module 2 moves the spring feeding mechanism 3 to the corresponding position in the product's installation area. The air-blowing release mechanism 4 blows the tiny springs out of the spring placement hole 331, thus blowing them into the product's installation area, achieving the picking and assembly of tiny springs. The springs are transferred through the spring placement hole 331 of the spring feeding mechanism 3, and then blown out of the spring placement hole 331 by the air-blowing release mechanism 4, causing the springs to fall into the installation area. This effectively meets the automation requirements for picking up, transferring, and assembling tiny springs, reducing manual operation and improving overall production and assembly efficiency.
[0016] In some embodiments, the spring feeding mechanism 3 further includes: a rotating platform 31 disposed on the motion support 21, a rotating support 32 disposed on the output end of the rotating platform 31, and a picking arm 33 disposed on the rotating support 32. A spring placement hole 331 is disposed on the picking arm 33. The rotating platform 31 drives the rotating support 32 to rotate, such that the placement hole on the picking arm 33 corresponds to both the spring placement hole 331 and the air-blowing feeding mechanism 4. During spring feeding, the rotating platform 31 is in its initial position. At this time, the spring placement hole 331 on the picking arm 33 is parallel to the discharge direction of the spring feeding mechanism 1, facilitating the feeding of small springs into the spring placement hole 331 via the spring feeding mechanism 1. When the X-axis transport module 2 moves the spring feeding mechanism 3 to the corresponding position in the installation area, the rotating platform 31 is activated, causing the picking arm 33 to rotate 90°. At this time, the spring placement hole 331 on the picking arm 33 corresponds to the product installation area and the air blowing and discharging mechanism 4. By starting the air blowing and discharging mechanism 4, the generated high-pressure gas blows the tiny spring out from the spring placement hole 331, thereby sending the spring into the installation area and completing the assembly of the tiny spring.
[0017] In some optional embodiments, the rotating platform 31 is a pneumatic or electric turntable, which has a compact structure and is easy to install, debug, maintain and repair.
[0018] In some embodiments, the rotating bracket 32 is provided with an adsorption mechanism 5, which includes: an adsorption cylinder 51 disposed on the rotating bracket 32, an adsorption rod 52 disposed on the output end of the adsorption cylinder 51, and a magnet 53 disposed at the end of the adsorption rod 52. When the adsorption cylinder 51 pushes out the adsorption rod 52, the magnet 53 moves closer to the spring placement hole 331. When the spring feeding mechanism 1 feeds the micro spring into the spring placement hole 331, the adsorption cylinder 51 is activated, pushing out the adsorption rod 52, so that the magnet 53 at the front end of the adsorption rod 52 moves to the side of the spring placement hole 331. By adsorbing the spring with the magnetic field generated by the magnet 53, the micro spring can be tightly fixed to the side wall of the spring placement hole 331, thereby preventing the micro spring from falling out of the spring placement hole 331 and affecting subsequent assembly during the movement of the spring feeding mechanism 3 by the X-axis transport module 2 or the rotation of the picking arm 33 driven by the rotating platform 31.
[0019] When the material handling arm 33 is provided with two spring placement holes 331, a clearance space is provided between the two spring placement holes 331, and the magnet 53 at the front end of the adsorption rod 52 can be moved into the clearance space, so that the springs in the two sets of spring placement holes 331 can be magnetically adsorbed and fixed by a set of magnets 53 at the same time.
[0020] In some embodiments, the spring feeding mechanism 1 includes: a spring guide groove 11, a spring pushing cylinder 12 disposed beside the spring guide groove 11, and a push arm 13 disposed on the output end of the spring pushing cylinder 12. The front end of the push arm 13 is located inside the spring guide groove 11, and the spring pushing cylinder 12 drives the push arm 13 to reciprocate along the spring guide groove 11. During feeding, the spring is delivered to the spring guide groove 11 by a robot or an external feeding device, and then the spring pushing cylinder 12 is activated to drive the push arm 13 to move along the spring guide groove 11, thereby pushing the spring in the spring guide groove 11 into the spring placement hole 331 of the spring feeding mechanism 3.
[0021] In summary, this utility model transfers springs through the spring placement hole of the spring feeding mechanism and blows the springs out of the spring placement hole through the air blowing and discharging mechanism, so that the springs fall into the installation area. This effectively meets the needs of picking up and transferring small springs and automating assembly operations, reducing manual operation and improving the overall production and assembly efficiency.
[0022] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
