Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bearing feeding in automatic assembly machines, specifically a bearing feeding structure for automatic assembly machines. Background Technology
[0002] Automatic assembly machines are highly efficient mechanical parts assembly equipment. Bearings are an important mechanical part, and the bearing feeding mechanism can deliver the bearing to the designated position, eliminating the need for traditional manual feeding and resulting in higher feeding efficiency.
[0003] Existing bearing feeding mechanisms, such as the bearing discharge mechanism of the automatic bearing feeder proposed in patent application number "CN202222533427.0", include structures such as a feeding plate, a buffer base plate, a sponge pad, and a buffer mechanism. The sliding column drives the limiting plate to be pushed. When the limiting plate is pushed, it will pull the second spring. When the second spring is pulled, it will absorb and store the impact force, and also buffer and protect the bearing from the impact force.
[0004] However, existing technologies have shortcomings. During the bearing feeding process, it is not possible to guarantee that the bearings are conveyed in a single row, which can easily lead to accumulation. The bearings cannot be accurately delivered to the designated position and still require mechanical equipment to assist in picking them up to the designated position. The function needs to be improved. Therefore, an automatic assembly machine bearing feeding structure is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic assembly machine bearing feeding structure to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0007] An automatic assembly machine bearing feeding structure includes a vibrating disc and a feeding assembly. A feeding track is snapped between the vibrating disc and the feeding assembly. The feeding assembly includes a track plate, with the feeding port of the track plate connected to one end of the feeding track. A pushing assembly for moving the bearing is fixed to one end of the track plate, and a lifting assembly for lifting the bearing is fixed to the lower part of the other end. A sensing assembly is fixed to the track plate between the pushing assembly and the lifting assembly. A guide rail is fixed to the side wall of the track plate away from the pushing assembly, and a transferring assembly is fixed to the guide rail. A clamping assembly for holding the bearing is rotatably mounted at the lower end of the transferring assembly. The lifting assembly and the clamping assembly cooperate.
[0008] Preferably, a pressure plate for preventing bearing material from piling up is fixedly connected to the upper end of the track plate. The pressure plate is located above the feeding port of the track plate and is located on one side of the pushing assembly. A guide plate for preventing bearings from falling off is fixedly connected to the side of the feeding track near the vibrating plate.
[0009] Preferably, the pushing assembly includes a cylinder, which is fixed to one end of the track plate. The output end of the cylinder is fixed to a push plate for pushing the bearing to move. The push plate slides between the track plate and the pressure plate.
[0010] Preferably, the sensing component includes a sensor fixed to the track plate, the sensor being located between the pushing component and the top component, and a sensing port for the sensor to receive signals is provided on the pressure plate, the sensing port being located above the feed port on the track plate.
[0011] Preferably, the top material assembly includes a connecting plate, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the track plate away from the push material assembly. A second cylinder is fixedly connected to the connecting plate, and the output end of the second cylinder passes through the connecting plate and the track plate. The output end of the second cylinder is used to lift the bearing into the clamping assembly.
[0012] Preferably, the material transfer assembly includes a cylinder three, which is fixedly connected to the end of the guide rail away from the track plate. The output end of the cylinder three is fixedly connected to a front and rear plate, which are slidably connected to the guide rail. A pressure plate for pressing the upper end of the front and rear plates is fixedly connected to the guide rail. The clamping assembly includes two sets of clamping plates, which are symmetrically installed.

The front end of the clamping plates is aligned with the front end of the front and rear plates. A spring is fixedly connected between the rear ends of the two sets of clamping plates.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] This invention uses a vibratory feeder to transport bearings along a feeding track to the track plate. After the sensing component detects the presence of material, the pushing component pushes the bearing forward one station. Once the track plate is full, the lifting component lifts the bearing into the clamping component. After the clamping component retrieves the bearing, the transferring component moves the bearing to the designated position, thus realizing a structure for distributing and transporting bearings. The bearings are transported in a single row, preventing accumulation and eliminating the need for additional mechanical equipment for retrieval, resulting in a more complete function.

[0022] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] An automatic assembly machine bearing feeding structure, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the device includes a vibrating plate 1 and a feeding assembly. A feeding track 15 is snapped between the vibrating plate 1 and the feeding assembly. The feeding assembly includes a track plate 2. The feeding port of the track plate 2 is connected to one end of the feeding track 15. A pushing assembly for pushing the bearing is fixed to one end of the track plate 2, and a lifting assembly for lifting the bearing is fixed to the lower part of the other end. A sensing assembly is fixed to the track plate 2 at a position between the pushing assembly and the lifting assembly. A guide rail 17 is fixed to the side wall of the track plate 2 away from the pushing assembly. A transferring assembly is fixed to the guide rail 17. A clamping assembly for holding the bearing is rotatably installed at the lower end of the transferring assembly. The lifting assembly and the clamping assembly cooperate.
[0024] The vibratory plate 1 is existing technology, which uses vibration to discharge the bearings so that they can be dispersed into the feeding track 15. The feeding track 15 is slightly bent in the middle to buffer the discharge of the bearings. The vibratory plate 1, track plate 2 and guide rail 17 are all fixedly installed on the frame of the automatic assembly machine.
[0025] The bearing is fed by the vibrating plate 1 and transported to the track plate 2 via the feeding track 15. After the sensing component detects the presence of material, the pushing component pushes the bearing forward one station. After the track plate 2 is full, the lifting component lifts the bearing into the clamping component. After the clamping component picks up the bearing, the transferring component moves the bearing to the designated position. This realizes the structure of bearing material distribution and transportation. The bearing is conveyed in a single row, which will not pile up. No additional mechanical equipment is required to assist in picking it up, making the function more complete.
[0026] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a pressure plate 12 for preventing bearing material from piling up is fixedly connected to the upper end of the track plate 2. The pressure plate 12 is located above the feeding port of the track plate 2 and is located on one side of the pushing assembly. A guide plate 16 for preventing bearing from falling is fixedly connected to one side of the feeding track 15 near the vibrating plate 1.
[0027] The bearing enters the track plate 2 through the feeding port. The height inside the track plate 2 is not enough for two layers of bearings to be stacked. Therefore, the pressure plate 12 prevents the bearings from piling up. The guide plate 16 protects the connection between the feeding track 15 and the vibrating plate 1, preventing the bearing from being dislodged at this position due to the vibration of the vibrating plate 1, and can guide the bearing to smoothly enter the feeding track 15.
[0028] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the pushing assembly includes a cylinder 3, which is fixed to one end of the track plate 2. The output end of the cylinder 3 is fixed to a push plate 4 for pushing the bearing to move. The push plate 4 slides between the track plate 2 and the pressure plate 12.
[0029] The output end of cylinder 3 (model AT91-100-2223) drives the push plate 4 to slide, which pushes the end of the push plate 4 into the bearing in the track, causing the bearing to move one position and preventing the bearing from being blocked during feeding.
[0030] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the sensing component includes a sensor 5, which is fixed to the track plate 2. The sensor 5 is located between the pushing component and the top component. The pressure plate 12 has a sensing port for the sensor 5 to receive signals, and the sensing port is located above the loading port of the track plate 2.
[0031] Sensor 5 is existing technology and can be a photoelectric sensor or other sensor components. When the bearing is loaded onto the track plate 2, it will block the signal emitted by sensor 5, causing the receiving end of sensor 5 to be unable to receive the signal, thereby detecting whether the bearing is loaded. Then, the controller controls the pusher assembly to move the bearing to one station.
[0032] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the top material assembly includes a connecting plate 7, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the track plate 2 away from the push material assembly. A second cylinder 6 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 7. The output end of the second cylinder 6 passes through the connecting plate 7 and the track plate 2. The output end of the second cylinder 6 is used to lift the bearing into the clamping assembly.
[0033] When the bearing inside the track plate 2 moves to the end of the track plate 2 away from the pusher assembly, the bearing is located above the top assembly. The output end of cylinder 6 (same model as above, with an output end diameter larger than the bearing inner diameter) extends, pushing the bearing upward and sending it into the clamping assembly.
[0034] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the material transfer assembly includes a cylinder 14, which is fixed to one end of the guide rail 17 away from the track plate 2. The output end of the cylinder 14 is fixed to a front and rear plate 10, which is slidably connected to the guide rail 17. A pressure plate 11 for pressing the upper end of the front and rear plates 10 is fixed to the guide rail 17. The clamping assembly includes two sets of clamping plates 8, which are symmetrically installed. Both sets of clamping plates 8 are rotatably installed on the lower end of the front and rear plates 10 via positioning pins 13. The front end of the clamping plate 8 is aligned with the front end of the front and rear plates 10. A spring 9 is fixed between the rear ends of the two sets of clamping plates 8.
[0035] The lower end of the clamping plate 8 is inclined, which makes it easy for the bearing to be squeezed into the two sets of clamping plates 8 from below. The spring 9 causes the front ends of the two sets of clamping plates 8 to press against each other, so that the two sets of clamping plates 8 can clamp the bearing firmly. The material lifting assembly lifts the bearing and squeezes it into the two sets of clamping plates 8. The cylinder 3 14 runs, driving the front and rear plates 10 to move, so that the front and rear plates 10 move with the clamping assembly to feed the material. Single bearing feeding, no additional mechanical equipment is required to assist in picking up, the function is more complete, and the feeding is more accurate.
[0036] The working principle of the automatic assembly machine bearing feeding structure provided by this utility model is as follows:
[0037] The bearing is fed by the vibrating plate 1 and transported to the track plate 2 via the feeding track 15. After the sensor 5 detects the presence of material, the cylinder 3 drives the push plate 4 to push the bearing forward one station. After the track plate 2 is full, the cylinder 6 lifts the bearing into the two sets of clamping plates 8. After the clamping assembly picks up the bearing, the cylinder 14 drives the front and rear plates 10 to move the bearing to the designated position. This realizes the structure of bearing material distribution and transportation. The bearing is conveyed in a single row, which will not pile up. No additional mechanical equipment is required to assist in picking it up, making the function more complete.
[0038] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
