Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an oiling device, specifically an oiling device for a synchronizer assembly. Background Technology

[0002] After the main box synchronizer is assembled, some assemblies require oiling and packaging. Because the production line lacks oiling equipment, some assemblies must be manually oiled on a workbench. This process results in transportation waste, and manual oiling presents several problems: uneven application, which can easily cause parts to rust, and the amount of oil used cannot be accurately controlled, leading to oil waste. Furthermore, the remaining oil cannot be recovered and disperses into the air, causing environmental pollution.

[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN213762485U discloses a novel automatic workpiece oiling device, comprising a feeding unit, an oiling unit, and a discharging unit. The feeding unit includes a conveyor track for transporting workpieces to the oiling unit. The oiling unit includes a sealed oiling chamber with nozzles for oiling the workpieces mounted on its inner wall. A gripper for picking up the workpieces is located at the center of the oiling chamber. After oiling, a pusher cylinder pushes a pusher plate to push the workpieces out of the conveyor track. While the device employs automated control and can accurately and quickly spray oil onto the workpieces in a mist-like form, the oil mist disperses within the oiling chamber during the oiling process and cannot be effectively recovered.

[0004] Chinese patent CN114618738A discloses an oiling device for automotive repair parts, including a frame, an oil tank at the bottom of the frame, a feeding component on one side of the frame, an oiling component on the frame, and an adjustment component on the frame for adjusting the position of the oiling component. The feeding component can continuously feed parts, and the oiling component can be used to automate the oiling process. At the same time, the adjustment component can be used to change the contact area between the coating tape and the parts during the oiling process, thereby improving the oiling effect and avoiding the technical problem of uneven oiling. However, the amount of oil in the oiling component is difficult to control precisely during the oiling process, which can easily lead to material waste. Utility Model Content

[0028] This utility model's synchronizer assembly oiling device includes a workbench 1, an oil tank 8, a conveying unit 2, a pushing unit, an oil recovery unit 9, a spraying unit, and a central control unit, such as... Figs. 1-3 As shown. An oil tank 8 is located below the workbench 1 to supply oil. An oiling station is set on the workbench 1, and a conveyor unit 2 is located on the workbench 1 corresponding to the oiling station. In this embodiment, the conveyor unit 2 is a sheet metal chain structure, driven by a first motor 7, responsible for conveying the synchronizer assembly to be oiled to the entrance of the oiling station. A first sensor is installed at the entrance of the oiling station to detect whether the synchronizer assembly to be oiled is in place.

[0029] The pushing unit includes a pushing drive component and a clamp 11 and a push plate 12 connected to the output end of the pushing drive component. The clamp 11 and the push plate 12 move synchronously. The clamp 11 is used to hold the synchronizer assembly to be coated with oil, and the push plate 12 is set to correspond to the synchronizer assembly that has been coated with oil. The pushing drive component includes a first cylinder 3 and a second cylinder 14. The first cylinder 3 controls the clamp 11 and the push plate 12 to move forward or backward along the conveying direction of the conveying unit 2, transporting the synchronizer assembly to be coated with oil to the oiling station, and pushing the synchronizer assembly that has been coated with oil out of the oiling station. The second cylinder 14 pushes the clamp 11 and the push plate 12 to rise or fall in a direction perpendicular to the worktable 1, so as to facilitate their separation from the synchronizer assembly, and then the first cylinder 3 controls them to move out of the oiling station.

[0030] A rotating base 13 is installed at the oiling station. During the oiling process, the synchronizer assembly is placed on the rotating base 13, and a second motor is set as the base drive component to drive the rotating base 13 to rotate, ensuring uniform oiling. The synchronizer assembly oiling device of this utility model is located after the marking station. The synchronizer assembly to be oiled is assembled at the marking station and then conveyed to the vicinity of the oiling station via the conveying unit 2. A second sensor is also installed at the oiling station to detect whether the synchronizer assembly to be oiled is located on the rotating base 13. If the synchronizer assembly to be oiled is in place, the spraying unit is started.

[0031] The spraying unit is configured corresponding to the oiling station, including an atomizing component connected to the oil tank 8 and N nozzles 6. The N nozzles 6 correspond to the synchronizer assembly, where N ≥ 4. In this embodiment, N = 6, with 4 nozzles 6 located above the oiling station and evenly arranged circumferentially, and 2 nozzles 6 located below the oiling station and arranged opposite each other, ensuring that the oil mist can cover the entire synchronizer assembly during the spraying process and adhere evenly to its surface. Each nozzle 6 is equipped with an adjusting valve to adjust the oil volume according to different products. Furthermore, the fixture 11 of this invention is replaceable, thus meeting the production needs of different products.

[0032] The oil recovery unit 9 is used for oil mist recovery and includes a negative pressure adsorption component, a sealing cover 5, and a fixed guide rail 15. The fixed guide rail 15 is set on the side of the oiling station, and the sealing cover 5 is set above the oiling station with its opening facing downwards and is slidably connected to the fixed guide rail 15. At the same time, a third cylinder 4 is also set as a driving component for the sealing cover 5. Before spraying, the sealing cover 5 is driven to descend along the fixed guide rail 15 to seal the oiling station, so that the spraying process is in a closed space. After spraying, the third cylinder 4 drives the sealing cover 5 to rise, which facilitates the transfer of the synchronizer assembly. The sealing cover 5 is connected to the negative pressure adsorption component. During the spraying process, the oil mist in the sealing cover 5 is adsorbed by the negative pressure adsorption component and returned to the oil tank 8, ensuring that the oil cannot escape into the air during the oiling process. The above-mentioned negative pressure adsorption component is an oil adsorption pump. In addition, an oil receiving tray is installed below the oiling station and the conveying unit 2. The oil remaining in the synchronizer assembly and the conveying unit 2 can flow to the oil receiving tray, and the oil in the oil receiving tray flows back to the oil tank 8 through the pipeline, ensuring that the oiling station is clean and free from pollution.

[0033] The central control unit includes a PLC control system and an operation panel 10 mounted on the workbench 1, such as... Fig. 2 As shown, automatic oiling is achieved by setting the parameters of the PLC control system through the operation panel 10. The parameters to be set include oiling time, working mode, and working status and working mode of the spraying unit, first motor 7, second motor, first cylinder 3 and third cylinder 4. The working modes include manual mode and automatic mode.

[0034] The working principle of the synchronizer assembly oiling device is as follows: The PLC control system uses the atomizing component and nozzle 6 to evenly apply oil to the synchronizer assembly, forming an oil film on the surface of the synchronizer assembly to achieve rust prevention. The PLC control system controls the parameters of the first cylinder 3, the third cylinder 4, the first sensor, the second sensor, the first motor 7, the second motor, etc., to realize the automatic transmission and automatic oiling of the synchronizer assembly. The specific steps are as follows:

[0035] Step 1: Adjust the corresponding parameters on the operation panel 10, set it to automatic mode, and control the regulating valve to adjust the oil output of the nozzle 6;

[0036] Step 2: The conveying unit 2 transports the synchronizer assembly to be coated to the entrance of the coating station. After the first sensor detects it, it sends a signal to the central control unit. The central control unit controls the push drive component to work, so that the clamp 11 clamps the synchronizer assembly and sends the synchronizer assembly to the rotating base 13 of the coating station. The second sensor detects it. At the same time, the push drive component controls the clamp 11 to return.

[0037] Step 3: The main control unit controls the sealing cover 5 to descend and seal the oiling station, the rotating base 13 rotates with the synchronous assembly, and at the same time controls the spraying unit to spray oil mist, and controls the oil recovery unit 9 to absorb excess oil.

[0038] Step 4: After the oil mist spraying is completed, the oil recovery unit 9 and the rotating base 13 stop working. The main control unit controls the sealing cover 5 to rise and push the drive assembly to work. The synchronizer assembly that has been coated with oil is pushed out of the oiling station through the push plate 12, ready to proceed to the next process. At the same time, the synchronizer assembly to be coated with oil is pushed onto the rotating base 13 of the oiling station. Return to step 3 until all synchronizer assemblies are coated.

[0039] When replacing the synchronizer assembly to be oiled with a different specification, switch to manual mode via the operation panel 10, change the fixture 11, and then spray the corresponding synchronizer assembly through the above steps. At the same time, it is also necessary to check the oil level in the oil tank 8 regularly and add oil as needed.

[0040] In this embodiment, a protective cover 16 is also provided above the workbench 1, such as... Fig. 2 As shown, this is to prevent staff from coming into contact with operating facilities and causing injury.

[0041] The above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various equivalent modifications or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, and these modifications or substitutions should all be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
