Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of lock cylinder assembly, and in particular to a single-opening lock cylinder snap ring assembly mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] The lock cylinder is the main component that controls the opening of the lock; it is the heart of the lock and the core part that works with the key to rotate and move the bolt. Existing lock cylinders typically include components such as the lock case, the cylinder, and a retaining spring. During the manufacturing process, the cylinder is first placed inside the lock case, and a retaining spring is installed on the outside of the lock case to confine the cylinder within it.

[0003] In the above assembly process, the assembly of the retaining ring is particularly troublesome. Currently, it is still assembled manually, with the retaining ring being pressed directly into the retaining ring groove of the lock cylinder by hand. This is time-consuming and laborious, with very low assembly efficiency. Improper operation can also easily cause the retaining ring to deform, resulting in the lock cylinder not rotating smoothly, thus affecting the quality of the lock cylinder.

[0004] In view of this, the inventor has specifically designed a single-opening lock cylinder snap ring assembly mechanism, which leads to this invention. Utility Model Content

[0041] To make the technical problem to be solved, the technical solution, and the beneficial effects of this utility model clearer and more understandable, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0042] Please see Figures 1 to 11 This is a single-opening lock cylinder retaining ring assembly mechanism, as an embodiment of the present utility model, used to install retaining ring 002 onto the lock cylinder 001. The lock cylinder is provided with a retaining ring 002 groove for the retaining ring 002 to be inserted. The mechanism includes a tooling fixture 20, a feeding device 30, a transfer device 40, and a clamping device 50. The lock cylinder 001 is mounted on the tooling fixture 20 and is vertically mounted on the tooling fixture 20. The feeding device 30 is located on one side of the tooling fixture 20 and is used for feeding the retaining ring 002; the transfer device 40 is used to move the retaining ring 002 on the feeding device 30 onto the lock cylinder 001; the clamping device 50 is used to clamp the retaining ring 002 on the lock cylinder 001; the transfer device 40 and the clamping device 50 are arranged opposite each other and are located on both sides of the tooling fixture 20. The single-opening lock core snap ring assembly mechanism of this utility model uses a transfer device 40 to move the snap ring 002 from the feeding device 30 and bring it close to the tooling fixture 20. After it gets close, the snap ring 002 is embedded in the snap ring 002 groove and clamped by the clamping device 50 to realize the assembly of the snap ring 002. Moreover, it avoids the problems of time-consuming, labor-intensive and low assembly efficiency caused by manual assembly.

[0043] Please refer to the details. Figure 2 ,3 The single-opening lock core snap ring assembly mechanism of this utility model also includes a frame 10, a tooling fixture 20, a feeding device 30, a transfer device 40, and a clamping device 50, all of which are mounted on the frame 10. The tooling fixture 20 is directly mounted on the frame 10 or is conveyed by a conveying device for continuous assembly. The conveying device can move the tooling fixture 20 in a cyclic manner, which can be either linear or circular. The feeding device 30 and the transfer device 40 are arranged side by side on one side of the tooling fixture 20, and the clamping device is located on the other side of the tooling fixture 20 relative to the transfer device 40.

[0044] Please refer to the details. Figure 4 , 5 The feeding device 30 includes a vibratory plate 31, a vibratory conveying track 32 connected to the vibratory plate 31 at one end, and a lifting mechanism 33 located at the other end of the vibratory conveying track 32 for moving the snap rings 002 vertically. The vibratory plate 31, the vibratory conveying track 32, and the lifting mechanism 33 are all fixedly mounted on the frame 10. The vibratory plate 31 and the vibratory conveying track 32 adopt existing structures and are locked to the frame 10 in existing ways. Before assembly, the snap rings 002 are placed in the vibratory plate 31. Vibration moves the snap rings 002 to the vibratory conveying track 32 in a specified direction. Then, the snap rings 002 are arranged sequentially by the vibration of the vibratory conveying track 32. The vibratory conveying track 32 is provided with a conveying groove 321 for the snap rings 002 to be arranged side by side. The automatic feeding of the snap rings 002 is achieved by the cooperation of the vibratory plate 31 and the vibratory conveying track 32.

[0045] Please refer to the details. Figure 5 The lifting mechanism 33 includes a lifting base 331, a first drive mechanism 332 disposed on the lifting base 331 with its output end facing upward, a lifting slide 333 disposed on the output end of the first drive mechanism 332 and sliding with the first drive mechanism 332, and a lifting block 334 disposed on the lifting slide 333. The upper end of the lifting block 334 is provided with a lifting step 3341 for adapting to the internal shape of the retaining ring 002. When the retaining ring 002 moves to the lifting mechanism 33 via the vibrating conveying track 32... Then, the first drive mechanism 332 drives the lifting block 334 on the lifting slide 333 to move upward. The retaining ring 002 is sleeved on the lifting step 3341 so that the transfer device 40 can move the retaining ring 002. The lifting base 331 is fixedly set on the frame 10, and the vibrating conveying track 32 is provided with a lifting clearance groove 322 at one end near the lifting mechanism 33 to avoid the movement of the lifting block 334, so that the lifting step 3341 is located in the lifting clearance groove 322 and lifts the retaining ring 002. The first drive mechanism 332 adopts a motor in conjunction with a linkage mechanism, or a cylinder in conjunction with a guide mechanism.

[0046] Please refer to the details. Figure 6-8The transfer device 40 includes a first transfer base 41, a second transfer base 42 disposed on and slidably connected to the first transfer base 41, a transfer mechanism 43 disposed on the first transfer base 41 for driving the second transfer base 42, and an embedding mechanism 44 disposed on the second transfer base 42. The transfer mechanism 43 drives the second transfer base 42 to approach the feeding device 30 or to approach the tooling fixture 20. The first transfer base 41 is fixedly disposed on the frame 10. The second transfer base 42 is provided with a first slot for embedding the snap ring 002. The embedding mechanism 44 is used in conjunction with the clamping device 50. During the clamping process of the clamping device 50, the embedding mechanism 44 is used to hold or push against the snap ring 002 to prevent the snap ring 002 from deforming during the clamping process, so as to better clamp the snap ring 002 into the snap ring slot 003. When the snap ring 002 is embedded in the first slot, a magnet can be embedded in the first slot to hold the snap ring 002 (which is made of metal) in place, so that the snap ring 002 is more stable during movement and prevents it from falling off. Alternatively, a negative pressure method can be used to adsorb the snap ring 002 into the first slot. Before the moving device operates, the first drive mechanism 332 drives the lifting base 331 and moves the snap ring 002 on the lifting base 331 upward. The transfer mechanism 43 drives the second transfer base 42 to approach the lifting base 331 and clamp the snap ring 002 on the lifting base 331. Then, the first drive mechanism 332 drives the lifting base 331 downward. The transfer mechanism 43 continues to drive the second transfer base 42 to approach the lock cylinder 001 on the tooling fixture 20. Once reached, the snap ring 002 is held in place by the embedding mechanism 44, so that the clamping device 50 can work.

[0047] Please refer to the details. Figure 8The first transfer base 41 includes a transfer vertical plate 411 and a transfer horizontal plate 412 perpendicular to the transfer vertical plate 411. The transfer horizontal plate 412 is adjustablely connected to the transfer vertical plate 411 along the vertical direction to accommodate the installation of snap rings 002 at different heights. The transfer vertical plate 411 is provided with a first adjustment hole 4111 in the shape of an elongated strip. The transfer horizontal plate 412 is provided with a first internal threaded hole corresponding to the first adjustment hole 4111. A first bolt passes through the first adjustment hole 4111 and is screwed into the first internal threaded hole. The number of the first adjustment hole 4111, the first internal threaded hole, and the first bolt are set as needed, and at least two of each are provided. The transfer vertical plate 411 is also provided with a second bolt 45 for adjustment. One or two second bolts 45 are provided. The second bolt 45 is threadedly connected to the vertical plate and the horizontal plate. The second bolt 45 rests against the transfer horizontal plate 412 below or is directly rotatably connected to the transfer horizontal plate 412. The transfer horizontal plate 412 is adjusted to move downward by rotating the second bolt 45. Before adjustment, the first bolt is loosened. After adjustment, the first bolt is tightened to accommodate the installation of snap rings 002 at different heights. The transfer horizontal plate 412 is provided with a first limiting block 46 on both sides of the transfer vertical plate 411 to facilitate the movement of the transfer horizontal bar in the vertical direction.

[0048] Please refer to the details. Figure 6 The transfer mechanism 43 adopts a dual-stroke method (two-stage drive method), that is, two-stage stroke, first driving to the lifting block and then driving to the tooling fixture. For example, a motor module with controllable stroke or a dual-stroke cylinder can be used, or two cylinders can be used to drive it separately. The transfer mechanism 43 includes a third transfer base 432 disposed on the first transfer base 41 and slidably connected to the first transfer base 41, a second drive mechanism 431 disposed on the first transfer base 41 and used to drive the third transfer base 432 to move, and a third drive mechanism 433 disposed on the third transfer base 432 and used to drive the second transfer base 42 to move. The second drive mechanism 431 drives the second transfer base 42 and the third transfer base 432 to approach the loading device 30, and the third drive mechanism 433 drives the second transfer base 42 to approach the tooling fixture 20. Specifically, the second drive mechanism 431 is mounted on the transfer horizontal plate 412, and the third transfer base 432 and the second transfer base 42 are slidably connected to the transfer horizontal plate 412. A slide rail is mounted on the transfer horizontal plate 412 along the horizontal direction. A slider for sliding with the slide rail is mounted on both the second transfer base 42 and the third transfer base 432. The transfer vertical plate 411 is fixedly mounted on the frame 10.

[0049] Please refer to the details. Figure 7The embedding mechanism 44 includes a fourth drive mechanism 441 disposed on the second transfer base 42 and an embedding block 442 disposed at the output end of the fourth drive mechanism 441. The end of the embedding block 442 is provided with an embedding part 4421 extending into the first slot. The fourth drive mechanism 441 drives the embedding block 442 to press against the snap ring 002. After clamping is completed, the fourth drive mechanism 441 can be reset.

[0050] Please refer to the details. Figure 10 , 11 The clamping device 50 includes a first clamping base 51, a fifth drive mechanism 52 disposed on the first clamping base 51, a second clamping base 53 disposed on the output end of the fifth drive mechanism 52, a clamping mechanism 54 disposed on the second clamping base 53, and two clamping blocks 55 disposed on the clamping mechanism 54 and symmetrically arranged. The fifth drive mechanism 52 drives the second clamping base 53, the clamping mechanism 54 and the clamping blocks 55 to approach the tooling fixture 20, and the clamping mechanism 54 drives the two clamping blocks 55 to approach or move away from each other. The first clamping base 51 is fixedly disposed on the frame 10. In this invention, the locking mechanism can be directly fixed on the tooling fixture 20, or, before inserting the snap ring 002 into the snap ring 002 groove, the clamping block 55 can be moved onto the lock cylinder 001 and locked in place. This allows the transfer device 40 to more stably and smoothly place the snap ring 002 into the snap ring 002 groove. The inner sides of the two clamping blocks 55 are provided with arc-shaped portions to adapt to the shape of the snap ring 002, achieving smoother clamping. Specifically, the inner sides of the two clamping blocks 55 have arc grooves that match the outer circular surface of the lock cylinder. That is, the arc grooves of the two clamping blocks 55 form a semi-circular clamping groove for clamping the snap ring 002, making the snap ring 002 more circular after clamping.

[0051] Please refer to the details. Figure 11Furthermore, the first clamping base 51 includes a clamping vertical plate 511 and a clamping horizontal plate 512 disposed on the clamping vertical plate 511. The fifth drive mechanism 52 is disposed on the clamping horizontal plate 512. The clamping horizontal plate 512 is adjustablely connected to the clamping vertical plate 511 along the vertical direction to accommodate clamping of snap rings 002 at different heights. The clamping vertical plate 511 is provided with a second adjustment hole 5111 in the shape of an elongated strip. The clamping horizontal plate 512 is provided with a second internal threaded hole corresponding to the second adjustment hole 5111. A third bolt passes through the second adjustment hole 5111 and is screwed into the second internal threaded hole. The number of the second adjustment hole 5111, the second internal threaded hole, and the second bolt 45 are set as needed, with at least two of each. The clamping vertical plate 511 is also provided with a fourth bolt 56 for adjustment. One or two fourth bolts 56 are provided. The fourth bolt 56 is threadedly connected to the clamping vertical plate 511, and the second bolt 45 rests against the clamping horizontal plate 512 below or is directly rotatably connected to the clamping horizontal plate 512. The clamping horizontal plate 512 is adjusted to move downward by rotating the fourth bolt 56. Before adjustment, the third bolt is loosened. After adjustment, the third bolt is tightened to accommodate the clamping of the snap ring 002 at different heights. The clamping vertical plate 511 is provided with a second limiting block 57 on both sides of the clamping horizontal plate 512 to facilitate the movement of the clamping horizontal plate 512 in the vertical direction.

[0052] The working principle of this single-opening lock cylinder snap ring assembly mechanism is as follows:

[0053] First, adjust the height of the embedding mechanism 44 and the clamping block 55 according to the installation height of the retaining ring 002. Place the retaining ring 002 into the vibratory plate 31, and then move the retaining ring 002 above the lifting mechanism 33 with the help of the vibratory conveying track 32. Lift the retaining ring 002 upward, and drive the second transfer base 42 to approach the lifting step 3341 through the second drive mechanism 431 and clamp the retaining ring 002. Then, the lifting block 334 descends, and the third drive mechanism 433 drives the second transfer base 42 with the retaining ring 002 to approach and lock. After reaching the position, the fourth drive mechanism 441 drives the embedding block 442 to abut or press against the retaining ring and hold it. The fifth drive mechanism drives the clamping mechanism to approach the retaining ring 002 on the tooling fixture, and the clamping mechanism 54 drives the two clamping blocks 55 to clamp the retaining ring 002, so that the retaining ring 002 is clamped, completing one assembly. It can be reset as needed in the future.

[0054] In summary, the single-opening lock cylinder retaining ring assembly mechanism of this utility model uses a transfer device to move the retaining ring from the feeding device and bring it closer to the tooling fixture. Once close, the retaining ring is embedded in the retaining ring groove and clamped by a clamping device to achieve the assembly of the retaining ring. This avoids the problems of time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient assembly caused by manual assembly. Furthermore, both the transfer device and the clamping device in this utility model adopt an adjustable structure to facilitate the adjustment of the transfer height and clamping height, so as to accommodate the assembly of more lock cylinders.
