[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0024] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, an air intake grille metal bushing assembly device includes a fixed base 101. A double-headed cylinder is installed inside the fixed base 101. The output ends of the double-headed cylinder are respectively fixedly connected to a transmission base 102. The shaped end of the transmission base 102 is fixedly connected to either a first guide contour block 103 or a second guide contour block 104. An inner cylinder sleeve 201 is adapted to the second guide contour block 104, and an outer cylinder sleeve 202 is adapted to the first guide contour block 103. An error correction mechanism is provided on the transmission base 102. The error correction mechanism includes a detection groove 105, inside which a laser detection sensor is installed. The upper end of the fixed seat 101 is provided with a material unloading structure. By placing the inner cylinder liner 201 on the second guide contour block 104 and the outer cylinder liner 202 on the first guide contour block 103, the transmission seat 102 is driven to move by the power provided by the double-headed cylinder, so that the first guide contour block 103 and the second guide contour block 104 move closer to each other, and drive the inner cylinder liner 201 and the outer cylinder liner 202 to splice together to complete the assembly of the bushing. If the worker puts the outer cylinder liner 202 on the second guide contour block 104, the laser sensor provided inside the detection groove 105 will detect the alarm and remind the worker to correct it.

[0025] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the inner cylinder liner 201 has a smaller bore diameter than the outer cylinder liner 202. The inner cylinder liner 201 has several expandable compression blocks on its edge. The outer cylinder liner 202 has a cylindrical edge with a groove. The first guide contour block 103 and the second guide contour block 104 are both provided with positioning rubber rings. The expansion compression blocks on the edge of the inner cylinder liner 201 facilitate the stability of the connection after the inner cylinder liner 201 and the outer cylinder liner 202 are assembled. The positioning rubber rings on the surfaces of the first guide contour block 103 and the second guide contour block 104 guide the workers to install correctly.

[0026] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the unloading structure includes a fixed shell 301, which is located on the upper end of the fixed base 101. Two rotating shafts 302 are fixedly connected inside the fixed shell 301. The rotating shafts 302 are rotatably connected to the clamping arm 303. A slide rail 304 is provided between the two rotating shafts 302. A drive assembly for clamping or releasing the assembled bushing is slidably provided inside the slide rail 304. The bushing assembly is completed by the first guide contour block 103 and the second guide contour block 104. When the first guide contour block 103 and the second guide contour block 104 are reset, the assembled bushing is clamped by the two rotating shafts 302, so that the bushing is automatically released for unloading, preventing deformation caused by impact during unloading of the complete set and reducing bushing wear.

[0027] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the drive assembly includes a transmission block 306, which is slidably connected to a slide rail 304. A support block 307 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the transmission block 306. The support block 307 is adapted to the assembled bushing. A guide element is fixedly connected to each side of the transmission block 306. The upward movement of the transmission block 306 drives the support block 307 to move upward. The support block 307 supports the bushing and prevents the bushing from falling off when the clamping arm 303 is released.

[0028] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the guiding element includes a guide block 305. A guide block 305 is fixedly connected to each side of the transmission block 306. A roller 308 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the clamping arm 303, and the roller 308 rolls in contact with the guide block 305. One end of a spring 310 is fixedly connected to the side of the clamping arm 303, and the other end of the spring 310 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing shell 301. The lower end of the transmission block 306 is fixedly connected to the output end of the telescopic rod 309, and the fixed end of the telescopic rod 309... The fixed connection to the inner wall of the fixed base 101 is used to drive the transmission block 306 to move up and down via the telescopic rod 309. When the transmission block 306 moves upward, it drives the guide block 305 to move upward, and the roller 308 moves on the surface of the guide block 305. The guide block 305 drives the clamping arm 303 to rotate around the rotating shaft 302, so that the two clamping arms 303 come together to clamp the bushing. When the transmission block 306 moves downward, the spring 310 provides support force to drive the two clamping arms 303 to unfold, thus completing the bushing unloading.

[0029] The above embodiment discloses an intake grille metal bushing assembly device. The device involves placing the inner cylinder liner 201 on the second guide block 104 and the outer cylinder liner 202 on the first guide block 103. A double-headed cylinder provides power to drive the transmission seat 102, causing the first guide block 103 and the second guide block 104 to move closer together, thus assembling the inner cylinder liner 201 and the outer cylinder liner 202. If the operator places the outer cylinder liner 202 onto the second guide block 104, a laser sensor inside the detection groove 105 will detect and alarm, prompting the operator to correct the assembly. An expansion and compression block on the edge of the inner cylinder liner 201 ensures stable connection after assembly. Positioning rubber rings on the surfaces of both the first guide block 103 and the second guide block 104 guide the operator to install correctly. The first guide block 103 and the second guide block 104 work together to assemble the bushing. After the first guide block 103 and the second guide block 104 are reset, the assembled bushing is clamped by two rotating shafts 302, so that the bushing is automatically unloaded, preventing the bushing from being deformed by impact during unloading and reducing bushing wear. The upward movement of the transmission block 306 drives the support block 307 to move upward. The support block 307 supports the bushing and prevents the bushing from falling when the clamping arm 303 is released. The telescopic rod 309 drives the transmission block 306 to move up and down. When the transmission block 306 moves upward, it drives the guide block 305 to move upward. The roller 308 moves on the surface of the guide block 305. The guide block 305 drives the clamping arm 303 to rotate around the rotating shaft 302, so that the two clamping arms 303 come together to clamp the bushing. When the transmission block 306 moves downward, the spring 310 provides support force to drive the two clamping arms 303 to unfold, completing the bushing unloading.

[0030] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
