Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clutch-related technology, and in particular to a production and assembly device for a clutch ratchet spring assembly. Background Technology

[0002] The clutch is located inside the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission. The clutch assembly is fixed to the rear surface of the flywheel with screws. The clutch output shaft is the transmission input shaft. During vehicle operation, the driver can depress or release the clutch pedal as needed to temporarily separate and gradually engage the engine and transmission, cutting off or transmitting power from the engine to the transmission. The clutch is a common component in mechanical transmissions, allowing the transmission system to be separated or engaged at any time. Its basic requirements include: smooth engagement and rapid, complete disengagement; convenient adjustment and repair; small overall dimensions; low weight; good wear resistance and sufficient heat dissipation capacity; and convenient and labor-saving operation. Common types include dog clutches and friction clutches. The manufacturing of clutches requires the use of a ratchet spring assembly; therefore, a special production and assembly device for clutch ratchet spring assemblies is needed.

[0003] However, most existing ratchet spring assemblies require manual assembly during production, and the precise placement of the components during assembly results in a significant time commitment during processing. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a production and assembly device for a clutch ratchet spring assembly, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that in the production process of existing ratchet spring assemblies, most of them need to be assembled manually, and the components to be installed need to be placed accurately during the assembly process, which leads to a large amount of time spent on assembly during the processing.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a production and assembly device for a clutch ratchet spring assembly, comprising a conveyor belt, a control console mounted on one side of the conveyor belt, a control panel mounted on the upper surface of the control console, a movable block fixedly connected to one side surface of the conveyor belt, a fixed block fixedly connected to the upper surface of the movable block, a storage groove formed on one side surface of the fixed block, a motor fixedly mounted on the inner surface of the storage groove, a rotating block fixedly connected to the upper surface of the motor, a weight sensor mounted on the upper surface of the fixed block, an assembly placed on the upper surface of the rotating block, a support frame mounted on one side of the conveyor belt, a support plate fixedly connected to one side surface of the support frame, a connecting plate fixedly connected to one side surface of the support plate, and a through hole formed on the upper surface of the connecting plate.

[0006] Preferably, a material conveying pipe is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the through hole, and a material conveying belt is installed on the upper surface of the support frame.

[0007] Preferably, the upper surface of the conveyor belt is provided with anti-slip grooves, and a protective shell is installed on one side surface of the conveyor belt.

[0008] Preferably, the inner surface of the protective shell is provided with a mounting groove, and an infrared detector is fixedly mounted on the inner surface of the mounting groove.

[0009] Preferably, the moving block is installed between the two conveyor belts, and the rotating block is the same size as the assembly.

[0010] Preferably, the support plate is symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the support frame, and the outer surface dimension of the conveying pipe matches the inner surface dimension of the through hole.

[0011] Preferably, the anti-slip grooves are equally spaced on the upper surface of the conveyor belt, and the outer surface dimensions of the conveyor belt match the inner surface dimensions of the protective shell.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This clutch ratchet spring assembly production and assembly device places the assembly above the fixed block between the conveyor belts, and then places the assembly into the conveyor belt on the support frame. The anti-slip groove on the conveyor belt prevents the assembly from moving during transportation and falling off the conveyor belt. The control panel controls the equipment through the control console. The fixed block moves between the conveyor belts through the moving block. When the assembly is moved to the bottom of the conveyor pipe, the infrared detector in the mounting groove inside the protective shell detects the assembly as the upper assembly moves. When the assembly is detected, the conveyor belt stops after a few seconds of pause and then resumes movement. The assembly falls through the conveyor pipe. When the assembly reaches the assembly, the inertia of the fall triggers the weight sensor on the fixed block. Then the motor drives the rotating block to rotate, so that the position of the uninstalled assembly is realigned under the conveyor pipe. At this time, the weight sensor will reset, so that the assembly continues to fall. After the assembly is installed, the conveyor belt drives the moving block to move, so that the next assembly can be assembled. Attached Figure Description

[0018] 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.

[0019] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides a technical solution: a production and assembly device for a clutch ratchet spring assembly, including a conveyor belt 1, a control console 2 mounted on one side of the conveyor belt 1, a control panel 3 mounted on the upper surface of the control console 2, a movable block 4 fixedly connected to one side surface of the conveyor belt 1, a fixed block 5 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the movable block 4, a storage groove 6 formed on one side surface of the fixed block 5, a motor 7 fixedly mounted on the inner surface of the storage groove 6, a rotating block 8 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the motor 7, a weight sensor 9 mounted on the upper surface of the fixed block 5, and an assembly component 10 placed on the upper surface of the rotating block 8. A support frame 11 is installed on one side of the assembly. A support plate 12 is fixedly connected to one side surface of the support frame 11. A connecting plate 13 is fixedly connected to one side surface of the support plate 12. A through hole 14 is opened on the upper surface of the connecting plate 13. Through the arrangement of the conveyor belt 1, control console 2, control panel 3, moving block 4, fixed block 5, storage slot 6, motor 7, rotating block 8, weight sensor 9, assembly 10, support frame 11, support plate 12, connecting plate 13, through hole 14, conveying pipe 15, conveying belt 16, anti-slip groove 17, protective shell 18, mounting slot 19 and infrared detector 20, the assembly 10 is placed on the conveyor belt 1. Above the fixing block 5, the component is placed on the conveyor belt 16 on the support frame 11. The anti-slip groove 17 on the conveyor belt 16 prevents the component from moving during transportation and falling off the conveyor belt 16. The control panel 3 controls the equipment through the console 2. The fixing block 5 moves between the conveyor belts 1 via the moving block 4. When the assembly 10 is moved below the conveyor pipe 15, the component above moves in the mounting groove 19 inside the protective shell 18. The infrared detector 20 detects the component. When the component is detected passing by, the conveyor belt 16 stops after a few seconds of pause. Then the movement resumes, and the component falls through the feed pipe 15. The feed pipe 15 is installed in the through hole 14 on the connecting plate 13. Then the connecting plate 13 is connected to the support frame 11 through the support plate 12. When the component is on the assembly 10, the inertia of falling triggers the weight sensor 9 on the fixed block 5. Then the motor 7 drives the rotating block 8 to rotate, so that the position of the uninstalled component is aligned with the bottom of the feed pipe 15. At this time, the weight sensor 9 will be reset, so that it continues to fall. When the assembly 10 is installed, the conveyor belt 1 drives the moving block 4 to move, so that it can assemble the next assembly 10.

[0020] Furthermore, a material conveying pipe 15 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the through hole 14, and a material conveying belt 16 is installed on the upper surface of the support frame 11. The material conveying pipe 15 is fixed by the through hole 14.

[0021] Furthermore, the upper surface of the conveyor belt 16 is provided with anti-slip grooves 17, and a protective shell 18 is installed on one side surface of the conveyor belt 16. The conveyor belt 16 is configured to transport and move components.

[0022] Furthermore, an installation groove 19 is provided on the inner surface of the protective shell 18, and an infrared detector 20 is fixedly installed on the inner surface of the installation groove 19. The infrared detector 20 is set to monitor the components during transportation.

[0023] Furthermore, the movable block 4 is installed between the two conveyor belts 1, and the rotating block 8 is the same size as the assembly 10. The movable block 4 enables the assembly 10 to be moved after assembly.

[0024] Furthermore, the support plate 12 is symmetrically opened about the central axis of the support frame 11, and the outer surface dimension of the conveying pipe 15 matches the inner surface dimension of the through hole 14. Through the setting of the conveying pipe 15, the component can fall into the assembly 10.

[0025] Furthermore, anti-slip grooves 17 are equally spaced on the upper surface of the conveyor belt 16, and the outer surface dimensions of the conveyor belt 16 match the inner surface dimensions of the protective shell 18. The anti-slip grooves 17 prevent slippage during component transport, thus avoiding positional deviation.

[0026] Working principle: First, the assembly 10 is placed above the fixed block 5 between the conveyor belts 1. Then, the assembly is placed on the conveyor belt 16 on the support frame 11. The anti-slip groove 17 on the conveyor belt 16 prevents the assembly from moving during transportation and falling off the conveyor belt 16. The control panel 3 controls the equipment through the control console 2. The fixed block 5 moves between the conveyor belts 1 via the moving block 4. When the assembly 10 is moved below the conveyor pipe 15, the assembly above moves in the mounting groove 19 inside the protective shell 18. The infrared detector 20 detects the assembly. When the assembly is detected, the conveyor belt stops after a few seconds. 16 stops and then resumes movement. The component falls through the feed pipe 15, which is installed in the through hole 14 on the connecting plate 13. The connecting plate 13 is then connected to the support frame 11 through the support plate 12. When the component is on the assembly 10, the inertia of falling triggers the weight sensor 9 on the fixed block 5. Then the motor 7 drives the rotating block 8 to rotate, so that the position of the uninstalled component is aligned with the bottom of the feed pipe 15. At this time, the weight sensor 9 will be reset, so that it continues to fall. After the assembly 10 is installed, the conveyor belt 1 drives the moving block 4 to move, so that it can assemble the next assembly 10.

[0027] 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.
