[0044] Chains are generally metal links or rings that achieve transmission or traction functions through the connection and engagement of the links. During transmission, the chain transfers power from one component to another, realizing mechanical motion. The timing chain of an automotive engine is a type of chain and an important component of the engine's valve train system. Chain manufacturing involves multiple complex steps, requiring the assembly of various ring pieces and pins in a specified manner. In related technologies, chain assembly relies heavily on manual operation, resulting in low efficiency, high labor costs, and, due to the high degree of human intervention, susceptibility to human error leading to inconsistent product quality.

[0045] Currently, although some chain assembly equipment exists on the market, these devices are often single-function, only able to complete one link in the chain assembly process, and cannot achieve continuous chain assembly. Furthermore, these devices are insufficient in terms of automation and intelligence, making them unsuitable for large-scale, high-efficiency production demands. Therefore, developing equipment capable of continuously, efficiently, and automatically completing the entire chain assembly process is of paramount importance.

Both the pin feeding hole 331 and the pin feeding channel 311 have several of the same number. The top of the pin feeding channel 311 is connected to the pin vibrating screen 310, which is used to screen out single pins and convey them one by one to the pin feeding channel 311. The number of pin feeding channels 311 is equal to the number of pin feeding holes 331. The bottom end of the pin feed channel 311 abuts against the top surface of the pin assembly push plate 330. The bottom end of the pin feed channel 311 is connected to the frame. The pin platform 320 abuts against the side of the pin assembly push plate 330 away from the pin feed channel 311. The pin platform 320 is used to prevent the pins output from the pin feed channel 311 from falling further, effectively ensuring that the pins are collected and stored in the pin discharge hole 331. The pin platform 320 is located on one side above the feeding track 110. The pin assembly push plate 330 is connected to the pin assembly translation mechanism 332.

Each stacking assembly structure is located on the corresponding first middle layer processing position 113 and top sheet processing position 114. That is, the stacking assembly structures in the two stacking assembly assemblies 400 are located on the corresponding first middle layer processing position 113 and top sheet processing position 114. The stacking assembly structure is used to assemble the stacked sheets into the corresponding shaft pins in the first middle layer processing position 113 and the top sheet processing position 114.

The pin vibrating screen 310, pin feed channel 311, and pin assembly... The push plate 330 allows the pins to be continuously arranged in the pin feed channel 311. Driven by the pin assembly translation mechanism 332, the pins are transferred to the pin processing position 112. Then, the pin push lifting mechanism drives the pin assembly pressure block 340 to install the pins in the pin feeding hole 331 onto the bottom plate of the pin processing position 112. This enables reliable feeding and assembly operations. Each pin feeding hole 331 is used to store only one pin.

[0058] It is understood that the positioning and conveying structure includes a first feeding drive mechanism 120, a first pressing drive mechanism 130, and a first positioning plate 140. The first positioning plate 140 is connected to the first pressing drive mechanism 130 and is located on one side of the feeding track 110. Specifically, the first positioning plate 140 is located on the same side of the film processing position 111, the shaft pin processing position 112, and the first middle layer processing position 113.

Film feeding drive mechanism 231 can continuously output films to film storage slot of film transfer push plate 240 through film feeding push plate 230 until multiple films are stored side by side in film storage slot. Then film transfer drive mechanism 241 drives film transfer push plate 240 forward so that the films in the film storage slot reach the top entrance of film unloading track 250. Film pressing drive mechanism 261 drives film pressing part 260 to descend into the top entrance of film unloading track 250, thereby pressing multiple films in the film unloading track 250 completely and finally reaching film processing position 111.

The stacked transfer pusher plate 440 is used to push the stacked sheets to the top inlet of the stacked unloading track 450. The stacked sheet pressing member 460 is located above the top inlet of the stacked unloading track 450. The stacked sheet pressing member 460 is connected to the stacked sheet pressing drive mechanism 461. The stacked sheet pressing drive mechanism 461 is used to drive the stacked sheet pressing member 460 into the top inlet of the stacked unloading track 450 so that the stacked sheets are completely inserted into the stacked unloading track 450, thereby improving the reliability of the stacked sheet unloading action.

The stack can be a chain piece or a top piece. The stack platform 470 is used to prevent the stack output from the stack unloading track 450 from falling further, which can effectively ensure that the stack is stored in the stack unloading hole 481. The stack platform 470 is located on the outside of the upper side of the feeding track 110. The stack assembly push plate 480 is connected to the stack assembly translation mechanism 482. 2 is used to drive the stack assembly push plate 480 to move horizontally, so that the stack unloading hole 481 moves back and forth between the bottom outlet of the stack unloading track 450 and the bottom of the stack assembly pressure block 490.
