DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The utility model will be further described below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0026] A bearing mounting device of an input shaft, referring to Figures 1 to 5 The bearing 13 is an input shaft bearing with an annular snap ring groove 14 on the side wall, and the snap ring groove 14 is offset to one end of the bearing 13. The bearing mounting device at least includes an input shaft positioning seat 1 and a bearing pressing head 2.

[0027] The top of the input shaft positioning seat 1 is provided with an input shaft positioning column 3.

[0028] The input shaft positioning seat 1 includes a fixed positioning seat 101 and a movable positioning seat 102. The movable positioning seat 102 is positioned on the top of the fixed positioning seat 101 through a quick release structure. The quick release structure is that a limiting shaft 11 is arranged at the bottom center of the movable positioning seat 102, and an insertion hole 12 matched with the limiting shaft 11 is arranged on the top of the fixed positioning seat 101. The input shaft positioning column 3 is located on the top of the movable positioning seat 102. The movable positioning seat 102 can be arranged in multiple numbers. The diameters of each input shaft positioning column 3 are different, so that different sizes of input shafts 15 can be compatible by quickly replacing the movable positioning seat 102.

[0029] The bearing pressing head 2 is in the shape of a sleeve. A positioning hole is arranged in the bearing pressing head 2. The positioning hole is divided into a small diameter section 4 and a large diameter section 5 from top to bottom. A shaft shoulder is formed between the small diameter section 4 and the large diameter section 5. The hole diameter of the small diameter section 4 is smaller than the outer diameter of the bearing 13. The hole diameter of the large diameter section 5 is matched with the outer diameter of the bearing 13. An air outlet hole 6, a plurality of air inlet holes 7 and a plurality of threaded holes are arranged on the side wall corresponding to the large diameter section 5.

[0030] The threaded hole is provided with a wave bead fastening screw 8 for clamping and positioning the bearing 13, the positioning bead of the wave bead fastening screw 8 faces the inner side of the positioning hole, and the wave bead fastening screw 8 is located at the same height. When the bearing 13 is clamped in the large diameter section 5, if the clamping ring groove 14 is located at the lower position of the bearing 13, the wave bead fastening screw 8 is located at the position corresponding to the clamping ring groove 14 of the bearing 13. When the bearing 13 is positioned in the large diameter section 5 in the correct direction, the positioning bead at the front end of the wave bead fastening screw 8 is just clamped in the clamping ring groove 14 of the bearing 13, which effectively prevents the bearing 13 from falling out of the bearing pressing head 2 before pressing.

[0031] The air outlet hole 6 and the air inlet hole 7 are located at the same height. When the bearing 13 is clamped in the large diameter section 5, if the clamping ring groove 14 is located at the upper position of the bearing 13, the air outlet hole 6 and the air inlet hole 7 are located at the position corresponding to the clamping ring groove 14 of the bearing 13; if the clamping ring groove 14 is located at the lower position of the bearing 13, the air outlet hole 6 and the air inlet hole 7 are located at the position corresponding to the side wall of the bearing 13; the outer side of the air outlet hole 6 is connected with a vacuum generator 9 through an air pipe, and the vacuum generator 9 is connected with an external controller.

[0032] The lower opening of the large diameter section 5 of the bearing pressing head 2 is a gradually enlarged trumpet-shaped guide opening.

[0033] The lower part of the large diameter section 5 of the bearing pressing head 2 is provided with a notch 10 for facilitating the dismounting of the bearing 13. When the bearing 13 is clamped in the large diameter section 5, part of the outer wall of the bearing 13 corresponds to the position of the notch 10.

[0034] In use, first, select the movable positioning seat 102 with a size suitable for the input shaft positioning column 3, and position it on the fixed positioning seat 101, then vertically position the input shaft 15 on the top of the movable positioning seat 102, and the bottom of the input shaft 15 is sleeved on the input shaft positioning column 3 for accurate positioning through the input shaft positioning column 3.

[0035] Then, clamp the bearing 13 in the large diameter section 5 on the lower side of the bearing pressing head 2, and the top of the bearing 13 abuts against the shaft shoulder between the small diameter section 4 and the large diameter section 5. Subsequently, drive the vacuum generator 9 to work through the external controller and monitor the negative pressure condition of the vacuum generator 9.

[0036] When the clamping ring groove 14 is located at the upper position of the bearing 13, that is, the installation direction of the bearing 13 is wrong, as shown in Figure 6 Figure 7 At this time, the air outlet hole 6 and the air inlet hole 7 correspond to the position of the clamping ring groove 14 of the bearing 13. When the vacuum generator 9 works in suction, air can enter through the air inlet hole 7 on the large diameter section 5, then flow through the clamping ring groove 14, and finally be discharged through the air outlet hole 6. The vacuum generator 9 can smoothly suck air, the negative pressure is small, and the external controller can judge and alarm to remind the operator that the bearing 13 is installed in the wrong direction. ​

[0037] When the snap ring groove 14 is located at the lower position of the bearing 13, i.e. the installation direction of the bearing 13 is correct, as shown in Figure 8 、 Figure 9 , the air outlet hole 6 and the air inlet hole 7 correspond to the side wall of the bearing 13. When the vacuum generator 9 is working, the inside of the air outlet hole 6 is blocked, the vacuum generator 9 cannot smoothly inhale, the negative pressure is large, and the external controller can determine that no alarm occurs.

[0038] Of course, the above setting can also be reversed, i.e. adjusting the position of the air outlet hole 6 and the air inlet hole 7 on the bearing pressing head 2, and finally the implementation mode is: when the bearing 13 is installed correctly, the air outlet hole 6 and the air inlet hole 7 correspond to the position of the snap ring groove 14 of the bearing 13, the vacuum generator 9 can smoothly inhale, the negative pressure is small, and the equipment does not alarm; when the bearing 13 is installed incorrectly, the air outlet hole 6 and the air inlet hole 7 correspond to the side wall of the bearing 13, the vacuum generator 9 cannot smoothly inhale, the negative pressure is large, and the equipment alarms.

[0039] Finally, after determining that the installation direction of the bearing 13 is correct, the bearing pressing head 2 is driven to move downward by a pressing machine or other driving equipment, and the bearing 13 is pressed and connected to the input shaft 15.
