Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts installation and testing technology, and in particular to an installation and testing device with an oil seal immersion function. Background Technology
[0002] Automotive parts are the various units that constitute the overall automotive parts processing and the products that serve automotive parts processing. In some large automotive manufacturing plants, the installation of various automotive parts is usually automated. Currently, when installing oil seals for automotive parts, the oil seals need to be immersed in liquid oil before being transported to the installation location. However, during immersion, both the inner and outer rings of the oil seal are easily contaminated with liquid oil. The liquid oil on the inner ring needs to be manually wiped off by the operator before installation. This immersion method is not only inefficient but also wastes liquid oil resources. Furthermore, existing assembly equipment only has the function of installing workpieces; inspection of the workpieces requires specific equipment, resulting in poor assembly efficiency. Utility Model Content

An elastic element is disposed in the receiving cavity. One end of the elastic element abuts against the bottom of the receiving cavity, and the other end of the elastic element abuts against the oil immersion station, so that the oil immersion station can be reciprocated vertically on the third base.
[0011] Optionally, the oil immersion station includes a guide rod and a mounting platform. The guide rod is reciprocally movable in the accommodating cavity in the vertical direction. The first end of the guide rod is connected to an elastic element, and the second end of the guide rod is connected to the mounting platform.

[0013] Optionally, the drive end of the first drive assembly is positioned downwards on the mounting bracket, and the fixing assembly includes multiple fixing members.
[0014] The first drive assembly descends to a preset position, and the bottom ends of multiple fasteners abut against the workpiece to fix it in place.
[0015] The first drive assembly rises to the initial position, and multiple fixing elements move away from the workpiece to release it.
[0016] The second drive assembly includes a lateral drive component and a longitudinal drive component. The drive end of the longitudinal drive component is positioned downward on the mounting bracket, and the lateral drive component is positioned at the drive end of the longitudinal drive component. The drive end of the lateral drive component is connected to the pickup assembly.
[0017] Optionally, the pickup assembly includes a pickup disk with a limiting plate at the bottom periphery. Multiple protrusions are arranged in a ring at equal intervals on the pickup disk, with the protrusions spaced apart inside the limiting plate.

[0021] Optionally, the drive end of the longitudinal drive component is also equipped with a barcode scanner, which is configured to identify and record data on the workpiece.
[0022] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Compared with the prior art, the installation and testing equipment with oil seal immersion function provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0023] 1. By coordinating the frame, first drive assembly, second drive assembly, immersion assembly, worktable, and detection assembly, the overall process was optimized and assembly efficiency was improved;
[0024] 2.

The third base is equipped with elastic elements to support the oil immersion station, allowing the oil immersion station to move flexibly in the vertical direction, thus improving the immersion efficiency.
[0025] 3. The oil immersion station, through the structure of the guide rod, elastic element, and mounting platform, uses the second drive component to drive the pickup component downward during immersion. This allows the oil seal to be accurately engaged on the annular protrusion of the mounting platform. By continuing to press down, the mounting platform is lowered into the liquid storage tank to complete the immersion process. This ensures the continuity and accuracy of the oil seal immersion process, allowing the outer ring of the oil seal to be evenly and fully immersed in the liquid. This lays the foundation for the oil seal to play a good sealing role on the workpiece, and improves the quality and effect of the oil seal immersion. Attached Figure Description

[0035] Example
[0036] Please see Figures 1 to 6As shown, this embodiment provides an installation and testing device with oil seal immersion function, which includes a frame 10, a first drive assembly 20, a second drive assembly 30, an immersion assembly 40, a worktable 50, and a testing assembly 60. An installation platform 11 is provided on the frame 10, and the worktable 50 is mounted on the installation platform 11. The worktable 50 is configured to place workpieces, and mounting brackets 12 are spaced above the worktable 50. The first drive assembly 20 is mounted on the mounting brackets 12, and a fixing assembly 70 is provided at the drive end of the first drive assembly 20. The machine is configured to reciprocate the fixing component 70 in the vertical direction to fix or release the workpiece on the worktable 50. The second drive component 30 is located on one side of the first drive component 20. The moving end of the second drive component 30 is provided with a pickup component 80. The second drive component 30 is configured to pick up the oil seal and transport it to the immersion component 40 for immersion, and then transport it to a preset position on the workpiece for installation. The immersion component 40 is located on one side of the worktable 50. The detection component 60 is located at the bottom of the frame 10. The detection component 60 is configured to perform airtightness detection on the workpiece.
[0037] It is evident that the overall process is optimized and assembly efficiency is improved through the cooperation of the frame 10, the first drive assembly 20, the second drive assembly 30, the immersion assembly 40, the worktable 50, and the detection assembly 60.
[0038] In one embodiment, the liquid immersion assembly 40 includes a first base 41, a second base 42, a third base 43, and an oil immersion station 44. The first base 41 is disposed on the mounting platform 11, the second base 42 is disposed inside the first base 41, and the third base 43 is disposed inside the second base 42. The first base 41 is provided with a leakage collection tank 45, the second base 42 is provided with a liquid storage tank 46, and the third base 43 is provided with a receiving cavity 47. An elastic member 48 is disposed in the receiving cavity 47. One end of the elastic member 48 abuts against the bottom of the receiving cavity 47, and the other end of the elastic member 48 abuts against the oil immersion station 44, so that the oil immersion station 44 can be reciprocated vertically on the third base 43.
[0039] Specifically, a liquid delivery channel 49 is provided at the bottom of the liquid storage tank 46. One end of the liquid delivery channel 49 is connected to the liquid storage tank 46, and the other end of the liquid delivery channel 49 is provided with a connector. The connector is configured to connect to the liquid storage tank through a hose and provide the liquid required for oil seal immersion to the liquid storage tank 46 through the siphon effect.
[0040] As can be seen, the first base 41 is equipped with a leakage collection tank 45, which can effectively collect any possible leaks and prevent liquid from flowing out and contaminating the equipment and working environment. The liquid storage tank 46 of the second base 42 is used to store the immersion liquid, providing a stable liquid source for the oil seal immersion liquid. The third base 43 is equipped with an elastic element 48 to support the oil immersion station 44, so that the oil immersion station 44 can move flexibly in the vertical direction. This allows it to better adapt to the placement and pressing of the oil seal during the immersion process, ensuring the precise operation of the oil seal immersion liquid. It also helps to stabilize the overall structure of the immersion assembly 40 and reliably realize the immersion function.
[0041] In one embodiment, the oil immersion station 44 includes a guide rod 440 and a mounting platform 441. The guide rod 440 is reciprocally disposed in the accommodating cavity 47 in a vertical direction. The first end of the guide rod 440 is connected to an elastic element 48, and the second end of the guide rod 440 is connected to the mounting platform 441. The mounting platform 441 is provided with an annular protrusion 442, which is configured to snap on an oil seal.
[0042] Specifically, the second drive assembly 30 drives the pickup assembly 80 to descend onto the mounting platform 441, causing the oil seal to engage with the annular protrusion 442, and continues to press down, causing the mounting platform 441 to descend into the liquid storage tank 46, thereby allowing the outer ring of the oil seal to be immersed in liquid.
[0043] As can be seen, the oil immersion station 44, through the structure of the guide rod 440 cooperating with the elastic element 48 and the mounting platform 441, enables the oil seal to be accurately engaged on the annular protrusion 442 of the mounting platform 441 by the second drive component 30 driving the pickup component 80 to press down during immersion. The mounting platform 441 is then lowered into the liquid storage tank 46 by continuing to press down, thus completing the immersion. This structural design ensures the continuity and accuracy of the oil seal immersion process, allowing the outer ring of the oil seal to be immersed evenly and fully, thereby improving the immersion efficiency.
[0044] In one embodiment, the driving end of the first driving component 20 is disposed downward on the mounting bracket 12, and the fixing component 70 includes a plurality of fixing members 71. When the first driving component 20 descends to a preset position, the bottom ends of the plurality of fixing members 71 abut against the workpiece to fix the workpiece; when the first driving component 20 rises to the initial position, the plurality of fixing members 71 move away from the workpiece to release the workpiece.
[0045] As can be seen, by driving the fixing component 71 to descend to the preset position to abut against the workpiece to achieve fixation, and to rise to the initial position away from the workpiece to achieve release, the workpiece can be stably fixed and flexibly released from multiple parts. This ensures that the workpiece will not be displaced or shaken during oil seal installation and other processes, thus guaranteeing the accuracy of operation. Furthermore, this simple vertical drive fixing and releasing method is easy for operators to control and improves the convenience of using the equipment.
[0046] In one embodiment, the second drive assembly 30 includes a lateral drive member 31 and a longitudinal drive member 32. The drive end of the longitudinal drive member 32 is disposed downward on the mounting bracket 12, and the lateral drive member 31 is disposed at the drive end of the longitudinal drive member 32. The drive end of the lateral drive member 31 is connected to the pickup assembly 80.
[0047] As can be seen, the second drive assembly 30 includes a transverse drive component 31 and a longitudinal drive component 32. The longitudinal drive component 32 realizes vertical movement, and the transverse drive component 31 realizes horizontal movement. The two work together to precisely adjust the position of the pickup assembly 80 in space, so that the pickup assembly 80 can flexibly pick up oil seals at different positions, transport oil seals to the immersion assembly 40 for immersion, and transport the immersion oil seals to the preset position of the workpiece for installation. This improves the positioning accuracy and operational flexibility during the transportation and installation of oil seals, and better meets the needs of oil seal installation under different working conditions.
[0048] In one embodiment, the pickup assembly 80 includes a pickup disk 81, a limiting plate 82 is provided at the bottom periphery of the pickup disk 81, and a plurality of protrusions 83 are arranged in a ring at equal intervals on the pickup disk 81. The protrusions 83 are spaced apart on the inner side of the limiting plate 82, and the protrusions 83 are used to cooperate with the limiting plate 82 to snap and pick up the oil seal.
[0049] It is evident that the multiple protrusions 83 are designed to facilitate the deformation of the oil seal during pickup, and can be better picked up by the limiting plate 82, thereby improving pickup efficiency.
[0050] In one implementation, the worktable 50 is provided with a plurality of positioning blocks 51 and a plurality of clearance holes 52. The positioning blocks 51 are configured to cooperate with the fixing component 70 to fix the workpiece, and the clearance holes 52 are configured to avoid the detection component 60.
[0051] As can be seen, the workbench 50 is equipped with multiple positioning blocks 51, which can cooperate with the fixing component 70 to further accurately position and fix the workpiece, ensuring that the workpiece is in the correct position on the equipment. This is beneficial for the accurate installation of the oil seal and the accurate testing of the testing component 60. At the same time, the clearance hole 52 is provided to leave space for the testing component 60, avoiding interference with the normal operation of the testing component 60. This ensures that testing operations such as airtightness testing can be carried out smoothly, and improves the overall compatibility of the equipment and the coordination between various processes.
[0052] In one implementation, the detection assembly 60 includes a leak detector (not shown in the figure), a first sealing member 61, and a second sealing member 62. The leak detector is disposed at the bottom of the frame 10, the first sealing member 61 is disposed on the mounting platform 11, and the first sealing member 61 is configured to seal the first pore of the workpiece. The second sealing member 62 is disposed at intervals below the worktable 50, and the second sealing member 62 is configured to seal the second pore of the workpiece. The leak detector is configured to detect the airtightness of the workpiece.
[0053] As can be seen, the detection component 60, through the synergistic action of the leak detector, the first sealing component 61, and the second sealing component 62, seals different pores of the workpiece, forming a closed detection space. Then, the leak detector is used to detect the airtightness of the workpiece. This structural design can simulate the sealing environment of the workpiece during actual use, accurately detect whether there is an airtightness problem in the workpiece, improve the reliability and accuracy of the airtightness test results, and help ensure product quality.
[0054] As one implementation, a liquid level detection sensor 13 is also provided on the mounting platform 11, which is configured to detect the liquid level height of the storage tank 46.
[0055] As can be seen, the liquid level detection sensor 13 installed on the installation platform 11 can monitor the liquid level of the storage tank 46 in real time. The operator can use this information to understand the remaining amount of immersion liquid in a timely manner, so as to replenish the immersion liquid in time when the liquid level is too low, ensuring that the oil seal immersion operation can continue to proceed normally, avoiding problems such as insufficient immersion of oil seal due to insufficient liquid level, and ensuring the stability of the oil seal immersion process and the immersion quality.
[0056] In one implementation, the drive end of the longitudinal drive member 32 is also provided with a barcode scanner 14, which is configured to identify and record data of the workpiece.
[0057] As can be seen, the drive end of the longitudinal drive component 32 is equipped with a barcode scanner 14, which can identify the workpiece and record relevant data during operations such as oil seal installation. This facilitates product traceability management during the production process, allows for understanding of the product's production process and related parameters, and helps to achieve informatization and refinement of production management. It also facilitates the rapid location and analysis of causes when quality problems occur.
