Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cane installation technology, specifically a foot assembly mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Installing rubber feet on metal canes offers several important benefits. Rubber feet significantly increase friction with the ground, effectively preventing the cane from slipping on various surfaces, especially smooth ones like tiles and wooden floors. This greatly enhances stability and safety while walking, reducing the likelihood of slips and falls. Furthermore, their excellent elasticity acts as a shock absorber, absorbing the impact of the cane against the ground when walking on uneven surfaces or going up and down stairs. This reduces vibrations to the hands and body, making the user more comfortable and minimizing discomfort to joints and other parts of the body caused by vibrations. Ultimately, this provides a more reliable and comfortable support and assistance for walking, extends the lifespan of the cane, and ensures the user's safety in daily activities.
[0003] In the current cane production process, the installation of the base still has significant shortcomings. Currently, a fully automated installation process is not possible, relying mainly on manual operation, which inevitably brings many drawbacks. On the one hand, manual installation makes it difficult to ensure that each base is precisely in place, easily leading to positional deviations and inconsistent quality of finished canes. On the other hand, purely manual operation is inefficient, time-consuming, and labor-intensive, significantly slowing down the entire installation process and severely hindering subsequent processing and production, thus impeding the large-scale, efficient production of canes.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] Please see Figure 1This utility model provides a technical solution: a foot assembly mechanism, including an installation platform 1, a feeding platform 2, and a feeding structure 4. The installation platform 1 is used to connect the feeding structure 4, the positioning structure 5, and the pushing structure 6, ensuring that the structures connected to it remain on the same plane, so that there will be no height error when installing the connecting rod 7, and no deviation when the foot 33 is installed on the connecting rod 7. The feeding structure 4 is set on the installation platform 1 for conveying the connecting rod 7. The feeding structure 4 is divided into three parts: the first part is used to transport the connecting rod 7 to the front of the pushing structure 6; the second part is used to support the connecting rod 7 to ensure that there is no deviation when the pushing structure 6 pushes the connecting rod 7. The third part is used to transport the connecting rod 7 of the installed foot 33 away. The feeding platform 2 stores the foot 33. The stored foot 33 moves upward through the feeding tray 31 and is finally transported to the positioning structure 5 through the conveying rail 32. It also includes: feeding structure 3, positioning structure 5 and pushing structure 6. The feeding structure 3 is set on the feeding platform 2. The feeding structure 3 is used to transport the foot 33 in the feeding platform 2 outward to the positioning structure 5 to position the foot 33 and ensure that the foot 33 in the feeding platform 2 is delivered to the positioning structure 5. The positioning structure 5 is set on the mounting platform 1 and its top is connected to the feeding structure 3. The pushing structure 6 is set on the mounting platform 1 and the pushing structure 6 and the positioning structure 5 are set opposite to each other.
[0026] The feeding structure 3 includes a feeding tray 31 on the feeding platform 2. The feeding tray 31 is connected to the feeding platform 2. The foot 33 is pulled out from the feeding platform 2 by vibration and then transported to the positioning structure 5 by the conveying rail 32. The feeding tray 31 is connected to the conveying rail 32, which is used to transport the foot 33 to the positioning structure 5. The output end of the conveying rail 32 is connected to the positioning structure 5. The bottom of the conveying rail 32 is provided with a vibrating mechanism 34. The vibrating mechanism 34 vibrates the conveying rail 32 to achieve the effect of transporting the foot 33. The conveying rail 32 is supported by the vibrating mechanism 34.
[0027] Please see Figure 2The positioning structure 5 includes a connecting plate 51 mounted on the mounting platform 1. The connecting plate 51 supports the remaining structures in the positioning structure 5. A positioning groove 52 is movably provided on the connecting plate 51. The positioning groove 52 supports the foot 33, ensuring that the foot 33 can fall into the positioning groove 52. The positioning groove 52 is semi-circular, and its center coincides with the center of the connecting rod 7 held by the clamping claw 64. The positioning groove 52 positions and supports the foot 33. A pull plate 53 is provided on the positioning groove 52, and a first motor 54 is provided on the pull plate 53. The first motor 54 pulls the pull plate 53 through the motor rod 541. This pulls the positioning groove 52 outward, ensuring that after the connecting rod 7 is installed with the foot 33, the motor rod 541 pushes inward to catch the next foot 33. The first motor 54 has a motor rod 541 connected to the pulling plate 53. The bottom of the positioning groove 52 is equipped with a second motor 55. The second motor 55 is used to move the positioning groove 52 downward after the foot 33 and the connecting rod 7 are installed, so as to facilitate the separation of the positioning groove 52 and the foot 33. Then the first motor 54 pushes the positioning groove 52 to the center to catch the next foot 33, and the second motor 55 pushes and pulls the positioning groove 52.
[0028] Please see Figure 3 The pushing structure 6 includes a connecting seat 61 mounted on the mounting platform 1, which supports the remaining structures in the pushing structure 6. A third motor 62 is mounted on the connecting seat 61. The third motor 62 pushes the clamping claw 64 forward, thereby pushing the connecting rod 7 held by the clamping claw 64, and inserts and fixes it to the foot 33 supported in the positioning groove 52. A mounting platform 63 is mounted at the output end of the third motor 62, which connects the third motor 62 and the clamping claw 64. The clamping claw 64 is mounted on the mounting platform 63 and is used to clamp the connecting rod 7. A slide rail 65 is also mounted on the connecting seat 61, which limits the movement of the mounting platform 63 to prevent it from protruding when the third motor 62 pushes the mounting platform 63. In the current offset situation, the slide rail 65 and the mounting platform 63 are engaged. The pushing structure 6 includes a collision platform 67 on the mounting platform 63. The collision platform 67 cooperates with the limiting post 66 to limit the front and rear movement of the mounting platform 63, preventing it from disengaging from the slide rail 65 when the third motor 62 pushes the mounting platform 63. The mounting platform 1 is equipped with the limiting post 66. The collision platform 67 and the limiting post 66 are arranged opposite each other. The collision platform 67 is equipped with an adjusting rod 671. The adjusting rod 671 and the limiting rod 661 are used to adjust the moving position of the mounting platform 63. One end of the adjusting rod 671 is set on the connecting seat 61 to adjust the position of the collision platform 67. The limiting post 66 is equipped with a limiting rod 661 to adjust the moving range of the collision platform 67.
[0029] When using the foot assembly mechanism, in the initial preparation stage, the feeding platform 2 prepares a sufficient number of feet 33 in advance, and all structural components on the mounting platform 1 are properly adjusted to lay a solid foundation for subsequent processes. Assembly begins, the feeding process starts, and the feeding tray 31 in the feeding structure 3 operates, using vibration to cause the feet 33 to detach from the feeding platform 2. Through the connected conveyor rail 32, and with the assistance of the bottom vibrating mechanism 34, the feet 33 move precisely towards the positioning structure 5, ensuring timely and accurate material supply. Simultaneously, the positioning process proceeds concurrently. The connecting plate 51 on the mounting platform 1 carries subsequent components. Once the feet 33 arrive, the movable positioning groove 52 is precisely positioned according to a preset program. The semi-circular groove steadily supports the feet 33, ensuring that its center coincides with the center of the connecting rod 7 held by the clamping claw 64 in the pushing structure 6. If fine adjustments are needed, the first motor 54 drives the pulling plate 53 to move the positioning groove 52 via the motor rod 541. After assembly, the second motor 55 pushes the positioning groove 52 downwards to detach. Furthermore, the feeding structure 4 delivers the connecting rod 7 to the front of the pushing structure 6 according to the plan. Upon receiving the instruction, the connecting seat 61 of the pushing structure 6 supports the start of the third motor 62, which drives the mounting platform 63 to rush towards the positioning structure 5 along the slide rail 65. The clamping claw 64 grabs the foot 33 and moves back and pushes it to the corresponding part of the connecting rod 7 to complete the insertion. During the process, the collision platform 67 on the mounting platform 63 and the limiting stake 66 on the mounting platform 1 cooperate with the adjustment rod 671 and the limiting rod 661 to ensure that the mounting platform 63 does not deviate or derail, and finally achieves high-precision assembly.
