[Technical Field]
[0001] This utility model mainly relates to a caster frame nailing structure. [Background Technology]
[0002] In today's society, for the convenience of handling, most moving tools or items are equipped with casters. Casters require bolts to connect the various parts together. The existing bolting method generally uses manual bolting, which is inconvenient and unstable for drilling holes, resulting in low production efficiency and affecting output. In view of this, we have developed a new bolting technology solution. [Utility Model Content]
[0003] To solve at least one of the above problems, this utility model proposes a new structural solution. The caster frame through-bolt structure adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] The feeding mechanism includes a support platform, a lifting cylinder, a lifting platform, a transverse cylinder, a picking head, and a guide chute. The support platform is equipped with a vertical guide rail, and the lifting platform slides along the vertical guide rail. The lifting cylinder connects to the lifting platform, allowing the lifting platform to slide along the vertical guide rail. The lifting platform is equipped with a transverse guide rail, and the picking head slides along the transverse guide rail. A nail-holding platform is used to place the caster frame. The lifting platform and the transverse cylinder work together to drive the picking head to move to the guide chute, and the picking head picks up the axle in the guide chute and moves it to the nail-holding platform.
[0006] The nail-piercing mechanism includes a horizontal cylinder and a nail-piercing column, with the nail-piercing column connected to the movable end of the horizontal cylinder. The nail-piercing platform is used to place the caster frame, which has a through hole. The nail-piercing column and the through hole are located on the same axis. When the wheel axle moves to be on the same axis as the through hole and the nail-piercing column, the horizontal cylinder drives the nail-piercing column to pass through the through hole and abut against the wheel axle. The transverse cylinder drives the lifting platform to move so that the wheel axle of the material picking head passes through the through hole.
[0007] Preferably, the material taking head is provided with a plurality of suction nozzles, and the material taking head picks up the wheel shaft through the suction nozzles.
[0008] Preferably, the caster frame has a wheel cavity, and through holes are provided on both sides of the caster frame. The wheel axle is moved by the material pick-up head into the wheel cavity to abut against the through pin post that passes through the through hole and extends into the wheel cavity.
[0009] Preferably, the axle has a concave hole and the pin post has a convex head, and the concave hole and the convex head are connected to limit the misalignment of the axle and the pin post.
[0010] Preferably, the lifting cylinder is connected to the lifting platform via an extension block, and the support platform is provided with a slot for the extension block to move into.
[0011] Preferably, the support platform includes a support rod and a flat plate that is erected on the support rod. A slot is provided in the flat plate, and vertical guide rails are provided on the left and right sides of the flat plate. The lifting platform is slidably connected to the vertical guide rails on both sides via a slide block.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model compared with the prior art are:
