Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of automatic filter element assembly machines, and in particular to an automatic filter element assembly machine. Background Technology

[0002] As a crucial mechanical component, the filtration accuracy and reliability of filters directly impact the normal operation and lifespan of equipment. High-efficiency filters effectively remove impurities, prevent contaminants from damaging equipment, extend equipment lifespan, and improve equipment efficiency. Various automatic filter element assembly machines exist on the market to improve filter production efficiency and product quality. However, existing technologies still have some shortcomings. The process of fitting the sealing ring onto the filter element typically relies on a robotic arm or cylinder. Due to potential shaking during assembly, the sealing ring may be difficult to fit precisely, or even impossible to fit completely. This shaking not only reduces assembly efficiency but may also cause the filter element to collide with the robotic arm or clamp, resulting in filter element damage or mechanical failure. This necessitates manual equipment readjustment, extending downtime and reducing production efficiency. Furthermore, during the ejection process after filter element processing, the impact force from the cylinder may be excessive, easily causing deformation of the filter element itself or damage to its internal structure, affecting filter quality and lifespan, increasing scrap rates, and reducing production efficiency.

[0003] Therefore, this application provides an automatic filter element assembly machine to meet the requirements. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide an automatic filter element assembly machine, which aims to solve the problem that the process of fitting the sealing ring on the filter element usually relies on a robotic arm or cylinder. Due to the possible shaking of the filter element during assembly, it is difficult to accurately fit the sealing ring, or even complete the fitting. This shaking not only reduces assembly efficiency and increases the possibility of manual intervention, but may also cause the filter element to collide with the robotic arm or clamp, resulting in damage to the filter element or mechanical failure. This requires manual re-adjustment of the equipment, prolongs downtime, and reduces production efficiency. After the filter element is processed, the impact force of the cylinder during the ejection process may be too large, which can easily cause deformation of the filter element body or damage to the internal structure, affecting the quality and service life of the filter, increasing the scrap rate, and reducing production efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: an automatic filter element assembly machine, comprising a base and a turntable, the turntable rotating on the base, and an end cap feeding mechanism, a filter element feeding mechanism, an end cap flipping mechanism, a clamping mechanism, a sealing ring feeding mechanism, and a sealing ring assembly mechanism arranged sequentially around the turntable on the base; the base is also provided with a filter element conveyor belt adapted to the filter element feeding mechanism; the sealing ring feeding mechanism has a sealing ring feeding hole adapted to the sealing ring assembly mechanism; the turntable is provided with a fixed plate, and multiple sets of fixed plates are provided; an end cap conveyor belt adapted to the fixed plate is also provided below the end cap feeding mechanism; a fixing mechanism for clamping and limiting the filter element is also provided below the sealing ring assembly mechanism; the base is also provided with an unloading mechanism, and the unloading mechanism and the filter element feeding mechanism are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the turntable, enabling the equipment to achieve fully automatic assembly of filter elements.

[0006] Preferably, the sealing ring assembly mechanism further includes an L-shaped support plate and a guide plate. The guide plate is connected to the L-shaped support plate, and a slider is slidably connected to the guide plate. A motor is mounted on the slider, and a gear is connected to the output end of the motor. The guide plate is also provided with a tooth groove that matches the gear. A pneumatic gripper is connected to the bottom of the slider through a first pneumatic rod. A support rod is connected below the L-shaped support plate, and a fixing mechanism is set on the support rod, making it more convenient and faster for the equipment to install sealing rings on products.

[0007] Preferably, the fixing mechanism further includes an electric push rod, a first gripper, and a second gripper. The first gripper and the second gripper are hinged together by a pivot. The second gripper is provided with a sliding groove. The output end of the electric push rod slides in the sliding groove through a sliding block. The electric push rod is installed at the bottom of the L-shaped support plate. The L-shaped support plate is connected to the support rod through a connecting column. The first gripper and the second gripper are each slidably connected to guide blocks through two sets of guide rods, so that the product will not slide when the sealing ring is installed on the product.

[0008] Preferably, the guide block is provided with guide grooves, and there are multiple sets of guide grooves. The multiple sets of guide grooves correspond to the first gripper and the second gripper respectively. The guide block is rotatably connected to the connecting column, so that the two grippers can be used in conjunction.

[0010] Preferably, the fixed plate also includes a lower end cover positioning plate and an upper end cover positioning plate, which are arranged side by side. The end cover conveyor belt is provided with two sets of tracks that are adapted to the positions of the lower end cover positioning plate and the upper end cover positioning plate, so that the equipment can easily feed materials onto the fixed plate.

[0011] In summary, the technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] In this invention, a fixing mechanism is provided, in which a first gripper driven by an electric push rod drives a second gripper to move synchronously via a guide block. This enables the device to achieve the effect of assisting in the clamping of the product, avoiding the risk of collision caused by the product shaking when the device is installing the sealing ring, reducing damage to the device and the product, lowering the cost of use, and improving work efficiency.

[0013] In this invention, the unloading mechanism has a connecting rod driven by a second pneumatic telescopic rod. The ring plate on the other end of the connecting rod contacts the product, rather than the connecting rod directly contacting the product. This avoids the problem of damage to the product caused by excessive pushing force from the connecting rod. Attached Figure Description

[0020] 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. Example

[0021] refer to Figure 1-4The automatic filter element assembly machine shown includes a base 1 and a turntable 2. The turntable 2 rotates on the base 1. Around the turntable 2 on the base 1 are arranged a series of components: an end cap feeding mechanism 4, a filter element feeding mechanism 5, an end cap flipping mechanism 6, a pressing mechanism 7, a sealing ring feeding mechanism 8, and a sealing ring assembly mechanism 9. The base 1 also has a filter element conveyor belt 51 adapted to the filter element feeding mechanism 5. The sealing ring feeding mechanism 8 has sealing ring feeding holes 81 adapted to the sealing ring assembly mechanism 9. The turntable 2 also has fixed plates 3, with eight sets of fixed plates equidistantly distributed clockwise on the turntable 2. Each fixed plate 3 is further divided into a lower end cap positioning plate 31 and an upper end cap positioning plate 32. The end cap positioning plate 31 and the upper end cap positioning plate 32 are arranged in parallel. The end cap feeding mechanism 4 is used to move the upper end cap and the lower end cap on the end cap conveyor belt 41 to their corresponding fixed plates 3. The end cap conveyor belt 41 is also provided with two sets of tracks that are adapted to the positions of the lower end cap positioning plate 31 and the upper end cap positioning plate 32 respectively. The end cap feeding mechanism 4 is also provided with glue nozzles corresponding to the positions of the lower end cap positioning plate 31 and the upper end cap positioning plate 32. The filter element feeding mechanism 5 is used to transfer the filter element on the filter element conveyor belt 51 to the lower end cap positioning plate 31 on the turntable 2, so that the filter element is placed on the lower end cap. The end cap flipping mechanism 6 is used to flip the upper end cap in the upper end cap positioning plate 32. After installation onto the filter element, to ensure a more secure connection between the filter element and the upper and lower end caps, the clamping mechanism 7 is used to press the initially assembled product, making the connection between the upper and lower end caps and the filter element more stable. To improve the sealing effect, the sealing ring assembly mechanism 9 is used to fit the sealing ring from the sealing ring feeding mechanism 8 onto the upper end cap of the product. To prevent the product from shaking due to the rotation of the turntable 2 when fitting the sealing ring onto the upper end cap, thus preventing the sealing ring from failing to fit onto the upper end cap, a fixing mechanism 11 for auxiliary clamping of the product is also provided below the sealing ring assembly mechanism 9 to prevent the product from shaking when fitting the sealing ring onto the upper end cap. The unloading mechanism 1... The unloading mechanism 10 is used to output the finished products on the turntable 2. The unloading mechanism 10 also includes a connecting rod 102 and an unloading fixing plate 106. The unloading fixing plate 106 is fixed by a support leg 105. The connecting rod 102 is rotatably connected to the unloading fixing plate 106 through a bearing rod 104. The unloading fixing plate 106 is also provided with a through hole adapted to the connecting rod 102. The unloading fixing plate 106 is also provided with a second pneumatic telescopic rod 101. The output end of the second pneumatic telescopic rod 101 is hinged to one end of the connecting rod 102. The other end of the connecting rod 102 is connected to a ring plate 103. The ring plate 103 is provided to avoid damage when outputting the product.

[0022] As one embodiment of this invention, to make it more convenient and faster for the equipment to assemble the filter element for the product, the sealing ring assembly mechanism 9 also includes an L-shaped support plate 91 and a guide plate 92. The guide plate 92 is connected to the L-shaped support plate 91, and a slider 94 is slidably connected to the guide plate 92. A motor is provided on the slider 94, and a gear 93 is connected to the output end of the motor. The guide plate 92 is also provided with a tooth groove that matches the gear 93, so that when the motor rotates, it can drive the slider 94 to move left and right on the guide plate 92. The bottom of the slider 94 is connected to a pneumatic gripper 96 through a first pneumatic telescopic rod 95. The slider 94 moves left and right on the guide plate 92, driving the pneumatic gripper 96 to move between the sealing ring feeding hole 81 and the working position of the pneumatic gripper 96. A support rod 97 is connected below the L-shaped support plate 91, and a fixing mechanism 11 is set on the support rod 97.

[0023] As one embodiment of this invention, the fixing mechanism 11 further includes an electric push rod 113, a first gripper 111, and a second gripper 112. The first gripper 111 and the second gripper 112 are hinged together by a pivot 114. The second gripper 112 is provided with a sliding groove 115. The output end of the electric push rod 113 slides within the sliding groove 115 via a sliding block, allowing the device to control the extension and retraction of the electric push rod 113 to control the second gripper 112. The electric push rod 113 is installed at the bottom of the L-shaped support plate 91, which is connected to the support rod 97 via a connecting column 118. The first gripper 111... Both the first gripper 111 and the second gripper 112 are slidably connected to guide blocks 116 via two sets of guide rods. Guide blocks 116 are provided with guide grooves 117. Multiple sets of guide grooves 117 are provided, and the multiple sets of guide grooves 117 correspond to the first gripper 111 and the second gripper 112 respectively. When the device drives the second gripper 112 to move via the electric push rod 113, the second gripper 112 slides in the guide groove 117 via the guide rod, causing the guide block 116 to rotate on the connecting column 118, thereby causing the first gripper 111 to rotate synchronously, so that the first gripper 111 and the second gripper 112 can achieve the effect of clamping and fixing the product.

[0024] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: During use, the end cap feeding mechanism 4 transfers the upper and lower end caps from the end cap conveyor belt 41 to their corresponding fixed plates 3 on the turntable 2, placing the upper end cap in the upper end cap positioning plate 32 and the lower end cap in the lower end cap positioning plate 31. Then, glue is applied to the inside of the upper and lower end caps through the glue nozzle on the end cap feeding mechanism 4. Afterward, the turntable 2 rotates, causing the fixed plates 3 to rotate to the next station. Then, the filter element feeding mechanism 5 moves the filter elements in the filter element conveyor belt 51. The filter element is then moved from the lower end cover positioning plate 31 in the fixed plate 3. The turntable 2 then rotates the fixed plate 3 to the next station. Through the end cover flipping mechanism 6, the upper end cover in the upper end cover positioning plate 32 on the turntable 2 is flipped and installed onto the filter element in the lower end cover positioning plate 31. The turntable 2 then moves the fixed plate 3 below the pressing mechanism 7, where the pressing mechanism 7 tightly seals the upper end cover, lower end cover, and filter element. Finally, the turntable 2 rotates, moving the fixed plate 3 below the sealing ring assembly mechanism 9. The electric push rod 113 is controlled, causing the second gripper 112 to move. The second gripper 112 slides in the guide groove 117 via the guide rod, causing the guide block 116 to rotate on the connecting column 118, thereby causing the first gripper 111 to rotate synchronously. This causes the first gripper 111 and the second gripper 112 to close inward, achieving the effect of clamping and fixing the product. Then, the sealing ring assembly mechanism 9 installs the sealing ring on the upper end cap of the product. The sealing ring assembly mechanism 9 then... The sealing ring is removed from the sealing ring loading hole 81 of the material feeding mechanism 8 and fitted onto the upper end cover of the product. Then, the electric push rod 113 is driven in reverse so that the fixing mechanism 11 no longer clamps and fixes the product. The fixing plate 3 is then rotated to the unloading mechanism 10 via the turntable 2. The connecting rod 102 is pushed by the second pneumatic telescopic rod 101 so that the connecting rod 102 rotates around the bearing rod 104 as the axis. This allows the connecting rod 102 to push the product out of the fixing plate 3 through the ring plate 103, thus completing the assembly of the product.
