Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of frame steel ball, especially to a retainer frame steel ball equipment. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the production process of precision parts such as bearing retainer, it is usually necessary to press-fit steel balls on small and large ring material racks respectively, and then combine the two into finished products. In the traditional process, the steel ball press-fitting of small and large ring material racks relies on semi-automatic equipment or manual operation: for example, the small and large ring material racks are clamped by independent feeding mechanisms respectively, and then steel balls are installed one by one by manual or simple mechanical devices. Such equipment often needs to frequently switch tooling or adjust the clamping mechanism, resulting in low production efficiency, and manual intervention is prone to introduce errors, affecting product consistency.

[0003] In the prior art, some automatic equipment attempts to adopt a split design, that is, independent small ring material rack processing stations and large ring material rack processing stations are set up, and the two are sequentially transferred to the pressing area by a conveying mechanism. However, such a scheme still has obvious defects: first, the split stations need to position and transfer the material racks multiple times, resulting in large equipment footprint and complex process; second, the steel ball installation mechanism is usually a single-head structure, which needs to stop and switch the small and large ring steel ball discharge trays, making it difficult to realize continuous operation; third, the material rack clamping mechanism is usually a single suction nozzle or clamp, which cannot simultaneously process material racks of different sizes, resulting in low equipment utilization.

[0004] Therefore, the inventors designed a retainer frame steel ball equipment to solve the above problems. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0044] The finished product discharge mechanism 43 is located on the outside of the pressing frame 44, near the end of the material rack mounting rotating mechanism 41, and discharges the installed material rack through a clamping structure.

[0045] In summary, the specific embodiments of this utility model are as follows:

[0046] First, the lifting cylinders 311 of the small ring material rack discharge mechanism 31 and the large ring material rack discharge mechanism 32 drive the annular lifting block 3111 to rise vertically, lifting the stacked small ring material rack 100 and large ring material rack 200 to the highest positions of the small ring material rack matching slot 3131 of the small ring positioning frame 313 and the large ring material rack matching slot 3121 of the large ring positioning frame 312, respectively. At this time, the small ring material rack 100 and the large ring material rack 200 are precisely positioned, and the material rack discharge drive mechanism 33... The suction cup 3323 sequentially adsorbs the small ring material rack 100 and the large ring material rack 200 located at the highest position on the small ring material rack discharge mechanism 31 and the large ring material rack discharge mechanism 32 through two rows of suction nozzles 33231. Then, the material rack discharge drive mechanism 33 drives the material rack suction cup 3323 to move horizontally to the material rack mounting platform 413 of the material rack rotating cross 412 of the material rack mounting rotating mechanism 41, and releases the small ring material rack 100 and the large ring material rack 200 onto the empty material rack mounting platform 413.

[0047] The rotating motor 411 drives the rotating crossbar 412 of the material rack to rotate 90 degrees clockwise, so that the material rack mounting platform 413, which contains the material rack, enters the working position of the steel ball discharge rotating mechanism 42. The electric cylinder drive assembly 242 of the steel ball discharge drive mechanism 24 pushes the connecting plate 25 to slide along the sliding block 243, so that the steel ball channels of the small ring steel ball discharge plate 22 and the large ring steel ball discharge plate 23 on the connecting plate 25 are aligned with the outlet of the steel ball discharge machine 21 in sequence. The steel balls fall into the corresponding discharge plates through the holes of the connecting plate 25. The small ring steel ball suction cup 4 of the small ring steel ball mounting assembly 424 of the double-head frame 422... The large ring steel ball suction cup 4232 of the large ring steel ball mounting assembly 423 sequentially picks up steel balls from the corresponding discharge plate. After the small ring steel ball mounting assembly 424 first picks up the steel ball on the small ring steel ball discharge plate 22, the double-head frame 422 rotates 180 degrees and transfers the steel ball to the preset hole position of the small ring material rack 100 of the material rack mounting platform 413 for pressing. At the same time, after the large ring steel ball mounting assembly 423 picks up the steel ball on the large ring steel ball discharge plate 23, the double-head frame 422 rotates 180 degrees again and transfers the steel ball to the preset hole position of the large ring material rack 200 of the material rack mounting platform 413 for pressing.

[0048] After the steel ball is pressed, the rack rotating cross 412 rotates 90 degrees again, so that the rack mounting table 413 loaded with the finished product rack moves to the work station of the finished product discharging mechanism 43, the clamping structure of the finished product discharging mechanism 43 clamps the finished product rack to be mounted, and the finished product rack is moved out of the rack mounting table 413, and meanwhile, the rack rotating cross 412 continues to rotate to the initial work station, and waits for the feeding of the next cycle.
