Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of bearing press-fitting equipment, specifically to a feeding mechanism for bearing press-fitting equipment. Background Technology
[0002] In modern bearing press-fitting production lines, the feeding mechanism is a key link in the entire production process. Its performance and efficiency directly affect the production capacity and product quality of the entire production line. Traditional feeding mechanisms often use manual or semi-automatic methods, which have problems such as slow feeding speed, inaccurate positioning, and material damage, and cannot meet the needs of modern efficient and precise production.
[0003] For example, a Chinese patent discloses a bearing press-fitting device and its bearing feeding mechanism, publication number CN216462867U. This patent includes a clamping mechanism extending into the feeding channel within a through hole; the clamping mechanism is an elastic mechanism that retracts into the through hole after being subjected to force. On the other hand, a bearing press-fitting device is also disclosed, including the bearing feeding mechanism described above. Using the technical solution of this utility model, the feeding mechanism feeds the bearing to be assembled into the material cylinder; at this time, the bearing is clamped and lifted by the clamping mechanism. Then, after applying a stable downward pressure to the clamped bearing, the bearing pushes the clamping mechanism to deform, and the bearing falls downward through the clamping mechanism, thus enabling the feeding of the bearing for assembly. This bearing feeding mechanism has a simple structure and can achieve orderly and continuous bearing feeding operations. The bearing will not experience blockage during feeding, thus improving the press-fitting production efficiency of bearings and shaft parts.
[0004] Although the device has many beneficial effects, the following problems still exist: Although the feeding mechanism may be suitable for a certain range of bearing sizes, the clamping mechanism may not be able to effectively clamp or release bearings that are too large or too small, which may lead to problems such as poor feeding, bearing blockage or damage to the clamping mechanism.
[0005] In view of this, we have studied and improved the existing structure and its shortcomings, and provided a feeding mechanism for a bearing press-fitting equipment, in order to achieve a more practical purpose. Utility Model Content

[0010] Preferably, the other end of the connecting block is fixedly connected to a slide groove, and the outer wall of the slide groove is fixedly connected to a slope panel. Two sets of slope panels are provided and are symmetrically distributed at the left and right ends of the slide groove.
[0011] Preferably, the outer wall of the slope panel is slidably connected to a pulley, the lower end of the pulley is elastically connected to an elastic element, and the other end of the elastic element is connected to a fixing plate.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a feeding mechanism for a bearing press-fitting device, which has the following advantages:
[0014] The material is initially conveyed to the designated position via an upper conveyor belt. Then, using components such as sliding plates, fixed grooves, and chutes in the feeding structure, combined with the driving action of cylinders and telescopic rods, the material is precisely conveyed and positioned. The sliding connection design of the chutes within the fixed grooves makes the material conveying process more flexible, allowing the position and direction of the material to be adjusted according to actual needs. At the same time, the combination design of the ramps and pulleys further improves the efficiency and stability of material conveying, ensuring that the material can reach the designated position smoothly and quickly. This efficient and flexible material conveying and positioning method not only improves production efficiency but also reduces operational difficulty and labor costs.
[0015] After the material arrives at the support platform, this feeding mechanism uses a first six-axis robot and a positioning carrier to precisely position the material. Subsequently, through the cooperation of a detection carrier and a second six-axis robot, as well as the detection function of an appearance inspection camera, accurate detection of the material is achieved. In addition, the material-pulling rod design in the feeding structure, through the elastic connection of an L-shaped connecting plate and elastic elements, allows the material-pulling rod to be flexibly adjusted according to the shape and size of different materials, thereby more accurately moving and positioning the material. This precise and stable material movement and detection method not only improves product quality and production efficiency, but also ensures the stability and safety of the material during the conveying and pressing process. At the same time, this design also reduces production failures and waste caused by inaccurate material positioning or detection errors, bringing higher economic benefits to the enterprise.

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.
[0021] Please see Figure 1-3 A feeding mechanism for a bearing press-fitting device includes a base plate 1. An upper conveyor belt 2 is provided on the outer wall of one side of the base plate 1. A support plate 3 is provided on the side of the upper conveyor belt 2. A feeding structure 4 is provided on the outer wall of the support plate 3. A guide vision position 5 is provided at the other end of the upper conveyor belt 2. A support platform 6 is provided on the side of the guide vision position 5. A first six-axis robot 7 is provided on the outer surface of the support platform 6. A positioning carrier 8 is provided on the side of the first six-axis robot 7. An inspection device is also provided on the outer surface of the other end of the support platform 6. The measuring carrier 9 has a second six-axis robot 10 installed on its side and an appearance inspection camera 11 installed on its side. The support platform 6 has a lower conveyor belt 12 installed on its side and a support tray 13 installed on its side. The support tray 13 has a third six-axis robot 14 installed on its outer wall and a fourth six-axis robot 15 installed on its outer wall. The fourth six-axis robot 15 has a pressing box 16 installed on its side and a working surface 17 installed inside the pressing box 16.
[0022] Furthermore, the feeding structure 4 includes a sliding plate 401. The sliding plate 401 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the side end of the support plate 3. A fixed groove 402 is fixedly provided inside the sliding plate 401. A sliding groove 403 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the fixed groove 402. This design allows the sliding groove to slide flexibly in the fixed groove, providing more possibilities for material conveying and positioning. By adjusting the position of the sliding groove, the versatility and flexibility of the feeding mechanism are increased.
[0023] Furthermore, a cylinder 404 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sliding plate 401, and a telescopic rod 405 is movably connected to the side end of the cylinder 404. A frame plate 406 is fixedly connected to the other end of the telescopic rod 405, and a connecting block 407 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the frame plate 406. The connecting block 407 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixing groove 402. The cylinder drives the frame plate to move through the telescopic rod. This design realizes the automated material pushing function. The driving force of the cylinder is strong and stable, which can ensure that the material is accurately and quickly pushed to the designated position.
[0024] Furthermore, the other end of the connecting block 407 is fixedly connected to the chute 403. The outer wall of the chute 403 is fixedly connected to the slope panel 408. Two sets of slope panels 408 are provided, which are symmetrically distributed at the left and right ends of the chute 403. The sliding connection of the connecting block in the fixed groove ensures the stability and accuracy of the chute during movement. This design not only simplifies the movement mechanism of the chute, but also improves its movement accuracy and reliability. At the same time, the fixed design of the chute also ensures the stability of the material during the conveying process.
[0025] Furthermore, a pulley 410 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the slope panel 408. An elastic element 411 is elastically connected to the lower end of the pulley 410, and a fixed plate 412 is connected to the other end of the elastic element 411. The design of the slope panel allows the material to slide smoothly down its inclined surface, while the pulley further reduces the friction between the material and the slope panel. The elastic connection design of the elastic element ensures the stability and buffering effect of the pulley during the sliding process, preventing the material from being damaged by impact.
[0026] Furthermore, the outer wall of the chute 403 is fixedly connected with several connecting posts 409. The other end of the connecting posts 409 is fixedly connected to a fixing plate 412, and the other end of the elastic element 411 is fixedly connected to an L-shaped connecting plate 413. The elastic element 411 extends through the fixing plate 412 into the interior of the L-shaped connecting plate 413. The outer wall of the L-shaped connecting plate 413 is fixedly connected with a material-pulling rod 414. This design not only increases the flexibility of the material-pulling rod, but also allows it to be adjusted according to the shape and size of different materials, thereby more accurately moving and positioning the materials. At the same time, the buffering effect of the elastic element also protects the materials from impact and damage.
[0027] Working principle: When the equipment moves on its own, the feeding structure 4 starts to operate. The chute 403 slides on the outer wall of the fixed groove 402, realizing the flexible movement of the chute 403 on the sliding plate 401. The cylinder 404 is fixed on the outer wall of the sliding plate 401 and is movably connected to the frame plate 406 through the telescopic rod 405. When the cylinder 404 works, the telescopic rod 405 pushes or pulls the frame plate 406, and the frame plate 406 slides in the fixed groove 402 through the connecting block 407, thereby driving the movement of the chute 403. The slope plate 408 is used to guide the pulley 410 to slide on the outer wall. The elastic element 411 realizes the elastic connection, providing the necessary elasticity and buffer, so that the pulley 410 can better adapt to the inclined surface of the slope plate 408. In addition, the other end of the elastic element 411 is also fixedly connected to the L-shaped connecting plate 413, and the outer wall of the L-shaped connecting plate 413 is fixedly connected to the material-pulling rod 414. When the materials slide in the chute 403, they come into contact with the feeding rod 414. The feeding rod 414, through the elastic action of the L-shaped connecting plate 413 and the elastic element 411, can flexibly move the materials to the designated position. The feeding conveyor belt 2 transports the materials to the vision guide position 5. After the appearance inspection camera 11 takes a picture, the guidance vision system 5 sends the material coordinates to the first six-axis robot 7. The first six-axis robot 7 grabs the materials and puts them into the positioning carrier 8. The fourth six-axis robot 15 then grabs the bearings and puts them into the pressing box 16. The third six-axis robot 14 puts the materials from the positioning carrier 8 into the pressing box 16. The pressing box 16 presses the two parts together. After pressing, the third six-axis robot 14 takes them out and puts them into the inspection carrier 9 for bearing concentricity inspection. Both concentricity inspection and appearance inspection are rejected by the second six-axis robot 10. Good products are finally put into the unloading conveyor belt 12 by the second six-axis robot 10.
[0028] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
