Detailed Implementation
[0023] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that these descriptions are merely descriptive and exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0024] It should be noted that similar labels in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it may not be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.
[0025] This embodiment mainly describes the structure of the automatic assembly equipment for forklift wheels and caster frames, as follows:
[0026] like Figures 1-7 As shown, the automatic assembly equipment for forklift wheels and caster frames includes a workbench 1 and a fixed base 2 mounted on the workbench 1. A mounting base 3 is provided in the fixed base 2. The mounting base 3 has mounting grooves 31 for placing the forklift wheel and caster frame. A mounting block 32 for placing bolts is provided in the bottom of the mounting groove 31 at the end where the forklift wheel is placed. A mounting hole 33 for mounting bolt heads is provided at the center of the upper surface of the mounting block 32. At least four guide rods 4 are provided on the workbench 1 on both sides of the fixed base 2, and each guide rod 4 has a wear-resistant coating on its surface. The mounting plate consists of a layer, with a fixed plate 6 at the top of the guide rod 4, and a movable plate 5 on the guide rod 4 below the fixed plate 6. The left and right ends of the movable plate 5 are slidably connected to the guide rod 4. A tightening device for tightening nuts is provided on the movable plate 5, with the working end of the tightening device passing through the movable plate 5 and located above the mounting plate. The working end of the tightening device is perpendicular to the center of the mounting plate. Two telescopic devices 7 are provided at the bottom of the fixed plate 6, with the telescopic ends of the telescopic devices 7 connected to the top of the movable plate 5. The two telescopic devices 7 are located on both sides of the tightening device.
[0027] When assembling the forklift wheel and the caster frame, first place the bolts used to fix the forklift wheel and the caster frame into the mounting holes 33 on the mounting block 32. Then, install the forklift wheel into the caster frame, aligning the connecting holes of the forklift wheel and the caster frame. Next, place the forklift wheel and the caster frame into the mounting groove 31, ensuring that the bolts in the mounting holes 33 pass through the connecting holes of the forklift wheel and the caster frame. Then, screw the nuts used to fix the forklift wheel and the caster frame onto the threaded rod. Then, activate the telescopic device 7 to extend it, which pushes the movable plate 5 downward on the guide rod 4. This allows the tightening device mounted on the movable plate 5 to move toward the forklift wheel and the caster frame located in the mounting groove 31, thus tightening the device. The working end of the device is perpendicular to the center of the mounting plate, and the bolts used to fix the forklift wheels and caster frames are also located at the center of the upper surface of the mounting block 32. Therefore, when the tightening device moves downward, the working end of the tightening device can limit the nut located on the screw, and then the tightening device is activated to tighten the nut. In this way, the assembly of the forklift wheels and caster frames is completed. In this way, the manual operation steps are reduced when assembling the forklift wheels and caster frames, thereby reducing the labor intensity of the workers and improving the assembly efficiency of the forklift wheels and caster frames. There are four guide rods 4, so the movable plate 5 can move more stably. The wear-resistant layer is provided on the surface of the guide rods 4 to improve the wear resistance of the guide rods 4, thereby increasing the service life of the guide rods 4.
[0028] Furthermore, the fixing base 2 is U-shaped and has two connecting grooves 21 on its side wall. The mounting base 3 is slidably connected to the fixing base 2 through the connecting grooves 21. The fixing base 2 is provided with multiple fixing bolts 9 for fixing the mounting base 3. When the mounting base 3 needs to be replaced, the fixing bolts 9 are first removed, and then the mounting base 3 is pulled out from the connecting grooves 21. This completes the disassembly of the mounting base 3. When installing the mounting base 3, the mounting base 3 is inserted into the fixing base 2 through the connecting grooves 21, and then the fixing bolts 9 are installed on the fixing base 2 and tightened. This completes the installation of the mounting base 3, which facilitates the replacement of the mounting base 3.
[0029] The tightening device includes a rotary motor 8 mounted on the upper surface of the movable plate 5, with the output end of the rotary motor 8 passing through the movable plate 5 and rotatably connected within the movable plate 5. A screw hole 811 is provided at the bottom of the output end of the rotary motor 8, and a connecting rod 82 is installed at the output end of the rotary motor 8. A stud 821 is provided at the top of the connecting rod 82, and the stud 821 is screwed into the screw hole 811. Finally, a nut sleeve 84 is provided at the bottom of the connecting rod 82. A first nut 81 is fixedly provided on the output end of the rotary motor 8, and a second nut 83 is fixedly provided on the connecting rod 82.
[0030] When the tightening device is in use, the rotary motor 8 starts, causing the output end of the rotary motor 8 to drive the connecting rod 82 to rotate. In this way, the nut sleeve 84 connected to the connecting rod 82 can tighten the nuts used to fix the forklift wheels and caster frames. The screw hole 811 and the stud 821 make it easy to replace the connecting rod 82 and the nut sleeve 84. When replacing the connecting rod 82, the operator uses two wrenches to limit the first nut 81 and the second nut 83 respectively, and then rotates the wrench that limits the second nut 83 to rotate the connecting rod 82. Thus, the wrench can be rotated in the forward or reverse direction to tighten or loosen the connecting rod 82, which further facilitates the replacement of the connecting rod 82 and the nut sleeve 84.
[0031] Furthermore, the nut sleeve 84 includes a cylindrical body, and a magnet 85 is provided at the top of the cylindrical body. The magnet 85 is connected to the cylindrical body by a screw 86. In this way, when assembling the forklift wheel and the caster frame, the nut used to fix the forklift wheel and the caster frame can be placed in the cylindrical body. Because the magnet 85 can attract and fix the nut used to fix the forklift wheel and the caster frame, it is no longer necessary to screw the nut used to fix the forklift wheel and the caster frame onto the screw and then tighten it by the tightening device when assembling the forklift wheel and the caster frame, thereby further improving the efficiency of assembling the forklift wheel and the caster frame.
