[0001] This utility model relates to the field of washing machine manufacturing technology, specifically to a bearing housing transfer tool. Background Technology
[0002] On the washing machine production line, bearing housing transfer fixtures are used for the rapid positioning and precise installation of bearing housings, improving assembly efficiency and reducing human error.
[0003] However, existing transfer fixtures are incompatible with different sizes of washing machine bearings. Furthermore, when manually or with a robotic arm, the washing machine bearings need to be removed from the placement plate, which makes the retrieval process inconvenient when the number of washing machine bearings on the placement plate decreases. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a bearing housing transfer fixture to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a bearing housing transfer fixture, including a stacking assembly, the stacking assembly including a rotating disk, the rotating disk having through holes arrayed near its edge, and each through hole having a corresponding identification mark on its side, a core rod fixed above each through hole, and a washing machine bearing housing of different specifications and dimensions axially sleeved on each core rod, the core rod having radially formed side grooves on both sides, and a core column axially slidingly installed inside the core rod, a fan-shaped support plate integrally fixed on both sides of the core column, the support plate slidingly engaging with the adjacent side groove, and the support plate supporting the bottom of the lowest washing machine bearing.
[0006] Furthermore, the rotating disk is fixedly installed on the rotating end of the rotating assembly. The rotating assembly includes a base, a gearbox, and a servo motor. The base has a built-in gearbox, and the gearbox is fixedly connected to the rotating end of the servo motor.
[0007] Furthermore, the rotating assembly also includes a pinion and a large gear ring, and the output end of the gearbox is connected to the pinion, which meshes with the teeth on the inner wall of the large gear ring.
[0008] Furthermore, the rotating assembly also includes a collar, the large gear ring being rotatably mounted on the inner ring of the collar, and the outer ring of the collar being fixed to the base by bolts.
[0009] Furthermore, the base is fixedly installed in the middle of the platform, and a power module is provided at the bottom center of the platform.
[0010] Furthermore, the platform is equipped with casters around its bottom, and the independent drive motors corresponding to the four casters are electrically connected to the power module.
[0011] Furthermore, a column is fixedly installed on the outer edge of the side of the platform, and a height sensor is provided at the end of the column, and the height sensor corresponds to the uppermost washing machine bearing.
[0012] Furthermore, a mounting plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of the side end of the platform, and a position sensor is provided at the top of the end of the mounting plate. The position sensor is electrically connected to the reflective end at the corresponding position of the bottom of the rotating disk. A cylinder is fixedly installed inside the mounting plate, and a push rod is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the cylinder. The push rod passes through the current position through hole and abuts against the core column.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] 1. In use, the position sensor at the top of the mounting plate is electrically connected to the reflective end at the corresponding position at the bottom of the rotating disk, ensuring that the core rod corresponding to the required specification of the washing machine bearing can accurately stop at the loading station on the side of the platform during the rotation of the rotating disk. The cylinder is activated and the telescopic end rod is driven to rise, so that the rod passes through the hole at the current position and abuts against the core rod. This causes the core rod to drive the washing machine bearings stacked on the tray to rise axially outside the core rod until the height of the uppermost washing machine bearing is sensed by the height sensor at the end of the column, ensuring that the material is always at the highest point for easy access.
[0015] 2. In use, different specifications of washing machine bearings are fitted onto the corresponding core rods and stacked layer by layer, improving the stability of the material during the movement of the tooling. The servo motor is activated and drives the small gear connected to the rotating end of the gearbox to rotate. Furthermore, through the meshing of the small gear with the inner wall teeth of the large gear ring, the large gear and the rotating disk fixed to its top are driven to rotate in the inner ring of the shaft ring. The required specifications of washing machine bearings are switched to the loading station on the side of the platform by rotation. When picking up materials, the corresponding identification mark on the side of the core rod is identified by manual scanning or by the robot's visual recognition, so as to accurately pick up the required specifications of washing machine bearings, prevent the occurrence of mis-picking, and ensure assembly accuracy.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a bearing housing transfer fixture includes a stacking assembly 1, which includes a rotating disk 101. The rotating disk 101 has through holes 102 arranged in an array near the edge of the disk, and each through hole 102 has a corresponding identification mark 103 on its side. A core rod 104 is fixed on each through hole 102, and the washing machine bearing housing with different specifications and dimensions is axially sleeved on each core rod 104. Side grooves 105 are radially opened on both sides of the core rod 104, and a core column 106 is axially slidably installed inside the core rod 104. A fan-shaped support plate 107 is integrally fixed on both sides of the core column 106, and the support plate 107 slides with the adjacent side groove 105. The support plate 107 is supported on the bottom of the lowest washing machine bearing.
[0022] The specific operation is as follows: different specifications of washing machine bearings are fitted onto the corresponding core rods 104 and stacked layer by layer to improve the stability of the material during the movement of the tooling. The servo motor 203 is activated and drives the small gear 204 connected to the rotating end of the gearbox 202 to rotate. Furthermore, through the meshing of the small gear 204 with the inner wall teeth of the large gear ring 205, the large gear and the rotating disk 101 fixed to its top are driven to rotate in the inner ring of the shaft ring 206. The required specifications of washing machine bearings are switched to the loading station on the side of the platform 3 by rotation. When picking up materials, the corresponding identification mark 103 on the side of the core rod 104 is identified by manual scanning or by the robot visual identification to accurately pick up the required specifications of washing machine bearings, prevent the occurrence of mis-picking, and ensure assembly accuracy.
[0023] like Figures 1 to 2As shown, the rotating disk 101 is fixedly installed on the rotating end of the rotating assembly 2. The rotating assembly 2 includes a base 201, a reduction gearbox 202, and a servo motor 203. The base 201 houses the reduction gearbox 202, which is fixedly connected to the rotating end of the servo motor 203. The rotating assembly 2 also includes a pinion 204 and a large gear ring 205. The output end of the reduction gearbox 202 is connected to the pinion 204, and the pinion 204 meshes with the inner teeth of the large gear ring 205. The rotating assembly 2 also includes a collar 206, with the large gear ring 205 rotatably mounted on the inner ring of the collar 206. The outer ring of the collar 206 is fixed to the base 201 by bolts. The base 201 is fixedly installed in the middle of the platform 3, and the bottom of the platform 3 is also fixed in the middle of the platform 3. A power module 4 is provided at the end of the platform 3. The bottom of the platform 3 is provided with four moving wheels 5, and the independent drive motors corresponding to the four moving wheels 5 are electrically connected to the power module 4. A column 6 is fixedly installed on the outer edge of the side end of the platform 3, and a height sensor 7 is provided at the end of the column 6. The height sensor 7 corresponds to the uppermost washing machine bearing. A mounting plate 8 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the side end of the platform 3, and a position sensor 9 is provided at the top of the end of the mounting plate 8. The position sensor 9 is electrically connected to the reflective end at the corresponding position of the bottom of the rotating disk 101. A cylinder 10 is fixedly installed inside the mounting plate 8, and a push rod 11 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the cylinder 10. The push rod 11 passes through the current position through hole 102 and abuts against the core column 106.
[0024] The specific operation is as follows: The position sensor 9 at the top of the mounting plate 8 is electrically connected to the reflective end at the corresponding position at the bottom of the rotating disk 101, ensuring that the core rod 104 corresponding to the required specification of the washing machine bearing can accurately stop at the loading station on the side of the platform 3 during the rotation of the rotating disk 101. The cylinder 10 is activated and drives the telescopic end push rod 11 to rise, so that the push rod 11 passes through the current position through hole 102 and abuts against the core column 106. Then, the core column 106 drives the washing machine bearings stacked on the tray 107 to rise axially outside the core rod 104 until the height of the uppermost washing machine bearing is sensed by the height sensor 7 at the end of the column 6, ensuring that the material is always at the highest point for easy access.
[0025] Working principle: Different specifications of washing machine bearings are fitted onto the corresponding core rods 104 and stacked layer by layer to improve the stability of the material during tooling movement. The servo motor 203 is activated, driving the small gear 204 connected to the rotating end of the reduction gearbox 202 to rotate. Furthermore, through the meshing of the small gear 204 with the inner teeth of the large gear ring 205, the large gear and the rotating disk 101 fixed to its top rotate within the inner ring of the shaft collar 206. The required specifications of washing machine bearings are switched to the loading station on the side of the platform 3 by rotation. When picking up materials, the corresponding identification mark 103 on the side of the core rod 104 is scanned manually or visually identified by a robotic arm to accurately pick up the required specifications of washing machine bearings and prevent mis-picking. To ensure assembly accuracy, the position sensor 9 at the top of the mounting plate 8 is electrically connected to the reflective end at the corresponding position at the bottom of the rotating disk 101. This ensures that the core rod 104 corresponding to the required specifications of the washing machine bearing can accurately stop at the loading station on the side of the platform 3 during the rotation of the rotating disk 101. The cylinder 10 is activated and drives the telescopic top rod 11 to rise, so that the top rod 11 passes through the current position through hole 102 and abuts against the core column 106. This causes the core column 106 to drive the washing machine bearings stacked on the tray 107 to rise axially outside the core rod 104 until the height of the uppermost washing machine bearing is sensed by the height sensor 7 at the end of the column 6, ensuring that the material is always at the highest point for easy access.
