Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of automated assembly equipment, and more specifically, it relates to an automatic feeding and assembly equipment for X-shaped rings. Background Technology

[0002] X-ring seals offer superior sealing performance. This is primarily due to the lubricating cavity formed between the sealing lips by the X-ring, which helps reduce frictional resistance and prevents the X-ring from flipping or twisting during reciprocating motion, thus ensuring a good sealing effect.

[0003] Based on the above, the inventors have discovered the following problems: Currently, many manufacturers mainly use manual assembly for automatic X-ring assembly equipment, such as speed and number of tests during the assembly process. This results in high labor intensity for employees, low assembly accuracy, slow speed, poor consistency of manual operation, and low product defect rate and efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, in view of this, we have studied and improved the existing structure and its shortcomings, and provided an automatic feeding and assembly equipment for X-shaped rings, in order to achieve a more practical value. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose and effectiveness of this utility model's automatic X-ring feeding and assembly equipment are achieved through the following specific technical means:

[0006] An automatic X-ring feeding and assembly device includes a support cabinet. A pair of vibrating discs are respectively installed on the outer walls of both sides of the support cabinet via fixed frames. A table is installed on the upper surface of the support cabinet. A divider is installed at the center of the table. Several sets of sliding cylinders are installed at equal intervals around the divider. A cylinder is installed on the surface of the sliding cylinder, and a product feeding mechanism, an X-ring feeding mechanism, and a camera are respectively installed at the end of the cylinder.

[0007] Furthermore, sheet metal covers are installed at the four corners of the tabletop using screws, and one side of the sheet metal cover displays a display and an emergency stop switch.

[0008] Furthermore, a buzzer alarm is installed along the edge of the upper surface of the sheet metal cover, and a discharge channel is installed on the side wall of the support cabinet on the side away from the vibrating plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the support cabinet is equipped with feet along the bottom edge, and one side of the feet is equipped with casters.

[0010] Furthermore, both the sheet metal cover and the support cabinet are made of metal, and both the sheet metal cover and the support cabinet have a galvanized layer on their surfaces.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] This invention utilizes a cylinder with grippers. The grippers first pick up the product and place it on a turntable, where it is then picked up by the X-feeding claw. This results in high testing accuracy and good consistency, reducing the labor intensity of operators and improving production efficiency. At the same time, the use of a cylinder makes the structure simple, easy to manufacture, and highly practical. It can improve work efficiency, ensure consistent testing accuracy, and reduce the chance of misoperation. Attached Figure Description

[0022] Example:

[0023] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 4 As shown:

[0024] This utility model provides an automatic X-ring feeding and assembly equipment, including a support cabinet 4. A pair of vibrating plates 2 are respectively installed on the outer walls of both sides of the support cabinet 4 through a fixing frame. A table 12 is installed on the upper surface of the support cabinet 4. A divider 11 is installed at the center of the table 12. Several sets of sliding cylinders 6 are installed at equal intervals around the divider 11. A cylinder 10 is installed on the surface of the sliding cylinder 6, and a product feeding mechanism 5, an X-ring feeding mechanism 9, and a camera 3 are respectively installed at the end of the cylinder 10.

[0025] The tabletop 12 has sheet metal covers 15 installed at its four corners by screws. The outer wall of the sheet metal cover 15 has a display 1 and an emergency stop switch 7 on one side.

[0026] A buzzer alarm 13 is installed along the edge of the upper surface of the sheet metal cover 15, and a discharge channel 14 is installed on the side wall of the support cabinet 4 on the side away from the vibrating plate 2.

[0027] The support cabinet 4 is equipped with feet 8 at the bottom edge, and casters 16 are installed on one side of the feet 8.

[0028] The sheet metal cover 15 and the support cabinet 4 are both made of metal, and the surfaces of the sheet metal cover 15 and the support cabinet 4 are both coated with a galvanized layer.

[0029] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows:

[0030] This invention fixes a product vibratory feeder to one side of a support cabinet, positions a product fixing block near the vibratory feeder, and uses a feeding mechanism to grab products and place them into a product fixing plate. A divider drives an alloy turntable to feed X-rings, and the X-ring feeding mechanism picks up the X-rings and places them into the product fixing plate containing the products. The turntable then moves to a camera inspection station where the camera takes a picture and inspects the products. Qualified products are then sent to the unloading channel, while unqualified products are placed in a defective product box. Furthermore, this device utilizes a cylinder with grippers; the grippers first grab the products and place them on the turntable, then the X-ring feeding grippers grab them again. This results in high testing accuracy and consistency, reduces operator workload, and improves production efficiency. The use of a cylinder also makes the structure simple, easy to manufacture, and highly practical, improving work efficiency, ensuring consistent testing accuracy, and reducing the chance of misoperation.
