Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of spring production technology, and in particular to a placement fixture for spring production. Background Technology

[0002] A spring is a mechanical part that works by utilizing elasticity. Made of elastic material, it deforms under external force and returns to its original shape after the force is removed. It is also called a "spring". They are generally made of spring steel. Springs come in a wide variety of types; according to shape, they mainly include helical springs, spiral springs, leaf springs, and irregularly shaped springs.

[0003] When placing springs, they are usually placed on a cylinder fixed on the platform. Since the processed springs are of different lengths, both relatively long and short springs will affect the normal gripping of subsequent gripping equipment and make it inconvenient to adjust and move the spring position, thus making the gripping operation relatively inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a placement fixture for spring production, thereby resolving the problems mentioned in the background section.

[0005] A spring-making fixture includes a base and a placement mechanism mounted on the base. The placement mechanism includes a drive assembly and a placement adjustment assembly. The drive assembly includes an electric cylinder, a movable seat, a first motor, a gear, a placement platform, and a gear ring. The electric cylinder is mounted on the base, and its output end is connected to the movable seat, which slides on the base via a guide rail. The first motor is mounted on one side of the movable seat, and the gear is fixed at the output end of the first motor. The placement platform is rotatably mounted on the movable seat, and the gear ring is fixedly mounted on the outer edge of the placement platform and meshes with the gear for transmission.

[0006] The placement and adjustment assembly includes a second motor, a lead screw, fixed shafts, a ring plate, a base plate, a support plate, and movable columns. The second motor is fixedly installed at the bottom of the placement platform, the lead screw is fixedly installed at the output end of the second motor, and there are multiple movable columns, distributed in at least two rings evenly through the placement platform. The ring plate is used to connect the movable columns in the same ring in series. The base plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of multiple ring plates, and there are four fixed shafts, which are fixedly installed at the bottom of the placement platform and penetrate the base plate. The support plate is installed at the bottom of the four fixed shafts and is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the lead screw.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, springs can be neatly arranged and automatically fed to external clamping equipment, improving the cleanliness of the assembly line and replacing the manual assembly of springs one by one. In addition, the length of the movable column extending from the surface of the placement table can be adjusted according to the length of the spring to adapt to the length of the spring. This avoids the inconvenience of picking up the spring when it is too short, and avoids the situation where the movable column is not long enough and the spring is not placed stably when it is too long.

[0008] The base has a sliding groove in the middle, and the electric cylinder is set in the sliding groove. Its output end is fixedly connected to the middle of the bottom surface of the moving seat through a fixing block.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, it is possible to place an electric cylinder to drive the moving seat to move.

[0010] The upper surface of the placement platform has a placement groove at the location where the movable column passes through.

[0011] The above technical solution facilitates the placement of the spring.

[0012] The movable columns are distributed in three rings, and the same ring plates are also arranged in three rings. The base plate has a cross-shaped structure that fixes the three sets of ring plates together.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, it is possible to adjust the ring plate to control the up and down movement of the movable column.

[0014] The movable column is a vertically positioned through-placement platform.

[0015] The above technical solution facilitates the placement of the spring.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model of the placement fixture for spring production are:

[0017] It can neatly arrange springs and automatically feed them to external clamping equipment, improving the cleanliness of the assembly line. The length of the movable column extending from the surface of the placement table can be adjusted according to the length of the spring to adapt to the spring length. This avoids inconvenience when picking up the spring when it is too short, and avoids instability caused by insufficient length of the movable column when the spring is too long.

[0021] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that the advantages and features of the present invention can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art, thereby providing a clearer and more definite definition of the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] Reference Figure 1-2 A spring production placement fixture includes a base 1 and a placement mechanism mounted on the base 1. The placement mechanism includes a drive assembly and a placement adjustment assembly. The drive assembly includes an electric cylinder 3, a movable seat 4, a motor 5, a gear 6, a placement platform 7, and a gear ring 8. The electric cylinder 3 is mounted on the base 1, and its output end is connected to the movable seat 4, which slides on the base 1 via a guide rail 2. The motor 5 is mounted on one side of the movable seat 4, and the gear 6 is fixed at the output end of the motor 5. The placement platform 7 is rotatably mounted on the movable seat 4, and the gear ring 8 is fixedly mounted on the outer edge of the placement platform 7 and meshes with the gear 6 for transmission.

[0023] The placement adjustment assembly includes a second motor 9, a lead screw 10, a fixed shaft 11, a ring plate 12, a base plate 13, a support plate 14, and movable columns 15. The placement platform 7 has the second motor 9 fixedly installed at the bottom, the lead screw 10 fixedly installed at the output end of the second motor 9, and multiple movable columns 15 evenly distributed in at least two rings throughout the placement platform 7. The ring plate 12 connects the movable columns 15 in the same ring in series. The base plate 13 is fixedly installed at the bottom of multiple ring plates 12. Four fixed shafts 11 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the placement platform 7 and penetrate the base plate 13. The support plate 14 is installed at the bottom of the four fixed shafts 11 and rotatably connected to the bottom end of the lead screw 10.

[0024] Based on the length of the spring, the second motor 9 can be driven to rotate the lead screw 10 in advance. The lead screw 10 then drives the movable column 15 to move up and down through the base plate 13. Adjust the length of the movable column 15 that protrudes from the upper surface of the placement platform 7. After the adjustment is completed, the spring can be placed on the movable column 15 and placed in the placement slot 701.

[0025] Then, the electric cylinder 3 can be driven to push the moving seat 4 along the guide rail 2, so that the corresponding spring on the placement platform 7 can be moved to the position directly below the external clamping device for clamping. During this process, the motor 5 can be driven to rotate the gear 6. The gear 6 drives the placement platform 7 to rotate and move by an angle through the gear ring 8, so that the position of the next spring can be moved to the position of the external clamping device. After the outer ring springs are clamped, the electric cylinder 3 can be driven to push the moving seat 4 along the guide rail 2, so that the corresponding spring on the inner ring can be moved to the position directly below the external clamping device. In this way, the position and angle of the placement platform 7 can be adjusted one by one, and the external clamping device can be used for clamping.

[0026] The springs can be neatly arranged and automatically fed to the external clamping equipment, improving the cleanliness of the assembly line. The movable column 15 has three rings, and the same ring plate 12 has three rings. The base plate 13 has a cross-shaped structure to fix the three sets of ring plates 12. The movable column 15 is vertical and passes through the placement platform 7. The length of the movable column 15 extending out of the upper surface of the placement platform 7 can be adjusted according to the length of the spring to match the length of the spring. This avoids the inconvenience of picking up the spring when it is too short, and avoids the situation where the movable column 15 is not long enough and the spring is not placed stably when it is too long.

[0027] A sliding groove is provided in the middle of the base 1, and the electric cylinder 3 is set in the sliding groove. Its output end is fixedly connected to the middle of the bottom surface of the movable seat 4 through a fixing block. This is to facilitate the placement of the electric cylinder 3 to push the movable seat 4 to move, thereby reducing the length of the base 1 and allowing the movable seat 4 to move and adjust normally along the base 1.

[0028] The upper surface of the placement platform 7 is provided with a placement groove 701 at the position through which the movable column 15 passes; the spring can be stably placed in the placement groove 701.

[0029] The embodiments described above are merely examples of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
