Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive shock absorber technology, specifically to a shock absorber pad feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] Hydraulic shock absorbers in automotive shock absorption systems absorb vibrations by flowing hydraulic oil within a sealed cylinder. When a vehicle travels on uneven roads, the piston inside the shock absorber moves up and down with the wheel. As the piston moves, it causes the liquid or gas inside the shock absorber to pass through small holes or valves, thereby generating damping force to absorb vibrations.

[0003] The piston inside the shock absorber is one of the key components for achieving the shock absorption function. The main components of the shock absorber piston are the upper gasket, the valve body, and the lower gasket. During assembly, the upper gasket, valve body, and lower gasket need to be stacked in sequence to form a combination. Since the upper and lower gaskets are located on both sides of the valve body, and the existing assembly methods mostly rely on manual operation, it is necessary to repeatedly pick up the gaskets and valve body. The operation process is cumbersome, and the entire assembly process is greatly affected by human factors, which can easily lead to assembly errors. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides a shock absorber pad feeding device, which picks up the pads through a picking mechanism and transfers them to a detection component for parameter detection. Based on the detection results, the pads are assembled. Compared with traditional manual assembly, this application has the advantages of convenient operation, high assembly accuracy, and high degree of automation.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A shock absorber pad feeding device, comprising:

[0007] The feeding mechanism includes a frame, a feeding assembly arranged vertically along the frame, and a detection assembly disposed at the top of the frame; and

[0008] A material handling mechanism is disposed above a feeding mechanism, and the material handling mechanism includes a material handling part that can move freely along the space above the feeding mechanism to realize the transfer of workpieces.

[0009] Preferably, the feeding assembly includes a feeding motor mounted on the frame, a lead screw mounted vertically along the frame and located at the output end of the feeding motor, a nut seat spirally mounted on the lead screw, a guide rod parallel to the lead screw and mounted on the frame, and a guide sleeve driven by the nut seat to slide along the guide rod.

[0010] Preferably, the shock absorber pad feeding device further includes a magnetic separator disposed at the discharge end of the feeding assembly.

[0011] Preferably, the detection assembly includes a detection platform mounted on the top of the frame, a detection probe mounted on the detection platform, and a receiving rod mounted beside the detection platform.

[0013] Preferably, the material handling unit includes a lead screw electric cylinder disposed at the output end of the servo motor, a material handling cylinder fixedly disposed at the output end of the lead screw electric cylinder, and a vacuum nozzle disposed at the output end of the material handling cylinder.

[0014] Preferably, the output end of the lead screw electric cylinder is provided with a mounting plate, a bracket is fixedly provided on the side wall of the mounting plate, a sliding rod is slidably connected on the bracket, and the output end of the material picking cylinder is fixedly connected to the sliding rod.

[0015] Preferably, a limiting plate is fixed at the end of the slide bar away from the bracket, and the output end of the material picking cylinder passes through the limiting plate and is connected to the vacuum nozzle.

[0017] 1. In this invention, gaskets can be stacked on a feeding assembly and fed upwards by the feeding assembly. A picking mechanism picks up the gaskets from the feeding assembly through its free end, and transfers them to a detection assembly to check if their dimensions are acceptable.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] A preferred embodiment of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] To achieve the above objectives, the embodiments of this utility model adopt the following technical solutions: (Refer to...) Figure 1 A shock absorber pad feeding device includes a feeding mechanism and a picking mechanism. Further, the feeding mechanism includes a frame 110, a feeding assembly, and a detection assembly. The feeding assembly is arranged vertically along the frame, and the detection assembly is located at the top of the frame. The picking mechanism is located above the feeding mechanism and includes a picking section. This picking section can move freely along the space above the feeding mechanism to move the workpiece. In use, the pads can be stacked on the feeding assembly and fed upwards under the action of the feeding assembly. The picking mechanism picks up the pads from the feeding assembly through its free end picking section and transfers the pads to the detection assembly to check if the pad dimensions are qualified. If the dimensions meet the assembly requirements, the pads are transferred to the next process; if the pad dimensions do not meet the assembly requirements, the pads are transferred to the defective parts area. This utility model utilizes a feeding assembly to feed gaskets one by one, a picking mechanism to pick up the gaskets, and transfers the gaskets to a detection assembly for parameter detection. Based on the detection results, the gaskets are assembled. Compared with traditional manual assembly, this application has the advantages of convenient operation, high assembly accuracy, and high degree of automation.

[0025] Reference Figure 1As a preferred technical solution in this embodiment, the feeding assembly includes a feeding motor 121, a lead screw 122, a nut seat 123, a guide rod 124, and a guide sleeve 125. The feeding motor 121 is fixedly mounted on the frame 110. The lead screw 122 is located at the output end of the feeding motor and is arranged vertically along the frame 110. The nut seat 123 is helically mounted on the lead screw and can move axially along the lead screw under its drive. The guide rod 124 is distributed parallel to the lead screw and is... The rod is fixed on the frame, and the guide sleeve 125 is slidably mounted on the guide rod. At the same time, the guide sleeve can be driven by the nut seat to move along the guide rod. In use, the gaskets are stacked on the outer wall of the guide rod, and the gaskets are located at the top of the guide sleeve. At this time, the feeding motor can be used to drive the lead screw to rotate. The lead screw then drives the nut seat to move along its axial direction. The nut seat then drives the gaskets to move upward along the guide rod through the guide sleeve, so as to move the topmost gasket to the top of the feeding mechanism, so that the picking mechanism can pick up the material from the top of the guide rod.

[0026] Furthermore, to facilitate the material handling mechanism in picking up materials from the top of the guide rod 124, the shock absorber pad feeding device also includes a magnetic separator 30. The magnetic separator 30 is fixedly installed at the discharge end of the feeding assembly. In use, the magnetic separator can be detachably installed on the top of the frame via a screw and is located above the top of the guide rod. This way, when the magnetic separator is working, the pad at the top of the guide rod can be driven to separate from the pads below, so that the material handling mechanism can pick up materials one by one from the guide rod.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 In some embodiments, the detection assembly includes a detection platform 131, a detection probe 132, and a receiving rod 133. The detection platform 131 is fixedly mounted on the top of the frame 110, the detection probe 132 is fixedly mounted on the detection platform, and the receiving rod 133 is located beside the detection platform. It should be noted that the detection probe can detect the size of the gasket, and the receiving rod 133 is a receiving rod for defective gaskets. In use, the material is picked up from the top of the guide rod by the material picking part of the material picking mechanism. The gasket picked up by the material picking part is first moved to the detection platform. During this process, the thickness of the gasket is detected by the detection probe. After passing the detection, the gasket is moved to a specific assembly fixture by the material picking part to be combined with the valve body to realize the assembly operation. If the detection fails, the gasket is moved to the receiving rod by the material picking part.

[0028] It should be noted that there are several unqualified situations during the gasket feeding process: 1. The gasket is not successfully adsorbed; 2. Multiple gaskets are adsorbed; 3. There is a mixing of gasket materials, that is, the wrong gasket is adsorbed. The above situations can all be judged whether the gasket is correctly picked up by the method of thickness detection. The gasket is picked up by the vacuum suction nozzle 213, and then the gasket is pressed down to the detection platform 131. The thickness of the picked-up gasket is detected by the detection probe 132, and the thickness of the adsorbed gasket is displayed by the measuring pen. If the thickness value is correct, it is a qualified product; otherwise, it is an unqualified product and needs to be picked up again.

[0029] Referring to Figure 1 , in some embodiments, the material taking mechanism includes a servo motor 220, and the material taking part is arranged at the output end of the servo motor. Further, the material taking part includes a screw electric cylinder 211, a material taking cylinder 212 and a vacuum suction nozzle 213. The screw electric cylinder 211 is arranged at the output end of the servo motor 220, that is, the screw electric cylinder is driven by the servo motor to act. The material taking cylinder 212 is fixedly arranged at the output end of the screw electric cylinder, and the vacuum suction nozzle 213 is arranged at the output end of the material taking cylinder. It should be noted that the screw electric cylinder in this embodiment is arranged horizontally, and the material taking cylinder moves vertically. In this way, by using the cooperation of the screw electric cylinder and the material taking cylinder, the movement of the vacuum suction nozzle in the horizontal and / or vertical directions can be realized, so as to achieve the free transfer operation of the material taking part in the space above the feeding mechanism. When in use, the vacuum suction nozzle is connected to an external air source. The servo motor is used to drive the screw electric cylinder to act, and the screw electric cylinder then带动 the material taking cylinder and the vacuum suction nozzle to move horizontally. Subsequently, the material taking cylinder is used to带动 the vacuum suction nozzle to move vertically. By using the combined movement of the two directions, the vacuum suction nozzle can be moved above the guide rod to pick up the gasket, and then the picked-up gasket can be moved to the detection platform for detection, and the qualified gaskets are assembled based on the detection results.

[0030] Further, an installation plate 214 is provided at the output end of the screw electric cylinder 2, a bracket 215 is fixedly provided on the side wall of the installation plate, a sliding rod 216 is slidably connected to the bracket, and the output end of the screw electric cylinder 211 is fixedly connected to the sliding rod. It should be noted that the material taking cylinder is also fixedly arranged on the side wall of the installation plate. In this way, when the material taking cylinder drives the vacuum suction nozzle at its output end to act, it can带动 the sliding rod to slide on the bracket. By using the sliding cooperation between the sliding rod and the bracket, the stable movement of the output end of the material taking cylinder can be realized.

[0031] Referring to Figure 2Furthermore, in order to facilitate the connection between the slide rod and the output end of the material-picking cylinder, a limiting plate 217 is fixedly provided at the end of the slide rod 216 away from the bracket 215. The output end of the material-picking cylinder 212 passes through the limiting plate and is connected to the vacuum nozzle 213. In this way, when the output end of the material-picking cylinder moves, the limiting plate can be moved synchronously, thereby causing the slide rod to slide on the bracket, so as to achieve stable movement of the output end of the material-picking cylinder.

[0032] In use, the gaskets can be stacked on the feeding assembly and fed upwards by the feeding assembly. The picking mechanism picks up the gaskets from the feeding assembly through its free end and transfers them to the detection assembly to check if the gasket dimensions are qualified. If the dimensions meet the assembly requirements, the gasket is transferred to the next process; if the dimensions do not meet the assembly requirements, the gasket is transferred to the defective parts area. This utility model uses the feeding assembly to feed the gaskets one by one, the picking mechanism to pick up the gaskets, and transfers them to the detection assembly for parameter detection. Based on the detection results, the gaskets are assembled. Compared with traditional manual assembly, this application has the advantages of convenient operation, high assembly accuracy, and high degree of automation.

[0033] The above-described embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model.
