Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of parts pressing technology, and in particular to a lifting mechanism that improves the effect of support reaction force. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of machining, to achieve the final assembly of a product or component, it is often necessary to press certain parts into designated positions on the product to achieve connection and assembly. Currently, there are two main methods for supporting parts: the first is a spring-type support mechanism, and the second is a lifting structure using a cylinder and a mechanical pressure-reducing valve.
[0003] The first method uses springs as the main support component, and its elastic coefficient is a fixed value. Therefore, if the elastic support force of the spring support mechanism is much greater than the weight of the part itself, the pressing force displayed by the press during the working process includes the support reaction force, thus it cannot truly reflect the pressing force of the product. Furthermore, the reaction force during the pressing process is not constant and is uncontrollable. The effect of the spring support mechanism on products with different weights varies greatly, and it cannot be compatible with products with large weight differences.
[0004] The second type of cylinder plus mechanical pressure reducing valve lifting mechanism can ensure constant support reaction force during pressing, but it requires manual adjustment for products with different gravity, which is not conducive to automated product changeover or in scenarios where multiple parts are produced together, and therefore cannot work reliably.
[0005] Ensuring constant and controllable support reaction force during the press-fitting process, minimizing the impact on press-fitting, and being compatible with press-fitting and mixed production of various highly differentiated parts, automatic changeover, and reduced manual intervention are all crucial for improving production efficiency.

[0022] The realization of the purpose, functional features and advantages of this utility model will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation
[0023] 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.
[0024] This utility model proposes a lifting mechanism to improve the effect of support reaction force.
[0025] Please see Figure 1-2 The lifting mechanism for improving the influence of support reaction force in this embodiment of the utility model includes a mechanism frame 1 disposed below. The mechanism frame 1 supports a lifting platform 3 that can move up and down through a plurality of support rods 2. The lifting platform 3 is provided with a plurality of product support fixtures 4 for supporting products (not shown in the figure) at specific positions. The mechanism frame 1 is provided with a part support fixture 5 that passes through the lifting platform 3. The top of the part support fixture 5 cooperates with the part to be pressed (not shown in the figure) and is pressed into the product during the pressing process. A lifting cylinder 6 is also provided between the lifting platform 3 and the mechanism frame 1. The fixed end of the lifting cylinder 6 is connected to the mechanism frame 1, and the movable end of the lifting cylinder 6 is connected to the lifting platform 3. The lifting cylinder 6 is connected in series with an electric proportional valve 7 through a pipeline.
[0026] Specifically, the bottom of the lifting cylinder 6 of this invention is a fixed end, passing through the mechanism frame 1 and fixedly connected to the mechanism frame 1 via the first bracket 8; the top of the lifting cylinder 6 is a movable end and fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the lifting platform 3. Therefore, in actual installation, the bottom end of the lifting cylinder 6 is fixedly connected to the mechanism frame 1 via the first bracket 8, while the movable end of the lifting cylinder 6 is set upwards to achieve lifting or lowering of the lifting platform 3. Furthermore, the way the lifting cylinder 6 passes through the mechanism frame 1 allows for the selection of a larger lifting cylinder 6 to increase the lifting stroke.
[0027] Preferably, the lifting cylinder 6 of this utility model is connected to the electric proportional valve 7 through the first pipeline, and the electric proportional valve 7 is connected to the external air source through the second pipeline. Therefore, in actual application, the electric proportional valve 7 adjusts the ventilation ratio or adjusts the opening or closing size of the valve according to the gravity and / or pressure change during the pressing process, controls the air pressure entering the lifting cylinder 6, and realizes the lifting cylinder 6 to rise, fall, or adaptively adjust the actual lifting force of the lifting cylinder 6.
[0028] Preferably, the part support fixture 5 of this utility model includes a first part support fixture and a second part support fixture. The top heights of the first part support fixture and the second part support fixture are different or the same. The actual working height of the top of the first part support fixture and the second part support fixture is adjusted by their bottom drive mechanism 9. In the actual production process, it is necessary to place the part to be pressed on the top position of the first part support fixture and the second part support fixture, and to place the product on the corresponding support fixture to cooperate with the subsequent pressing process. Furthermore, by adjusting the actual working height of the first part support fixture and the second part support fixture, it is possible to accommodate pressing of different products or parts in different positions.
[0029] More preferably, the housing sides of the first and second part support fixtures are provided with first sliding sleeves 10, which are slidably connected to the first guide rod 11 provided on the lifting platform 3. The first sliding sleeves 11 on the sides ensure that the first and second part support fixtures can slide axially along the first guide rod 11, and ensure the reliability of their actual working process.
[0030] In addition, the lifting platform 3 of this utility model is equipped with different product support fixtures 4 at different positions. Before the pressing stage, the mechanism frame 1 and the product support fixtures 4 support the product at the same time. The mechanism frame 1 provides overall support for the product, and the product support fixtures 4 provide support or positioning for different positions of the product to ensure the reliability of the product in the placement state. The product support fixtures 4 can be flat to support the internal plane of the product, or conical positioning columns can be inserted into the positioning holes inside the product for positioning and installation.
[0031] In this utility model, the support rod 2, which is set between the mechanism frame 1 and the lifting platform 3, includes a support body 21 and a support base 22. The support body 21 is slidably connected to the second sliding sleeve 23 set on the bottom surface of the lifting platform 3. A spring 24 is provided between the support base 22 and the second sliding sleeve 23. The spring 24 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the support body 21. The support rod 2 supports the lifting platform 3 and ensures the reliability of its up and down movement. In addition, the spring 24 enables the lifting platform 3 to have a certain elastic support force in the non-lifting stage.
[0032] Preferably, the lifting platform 3 is provided with a quick replacement table 31, which is connected to the lifting platform 3 via a quick knob 32. The surface of the quick replacement table 31 is provided with several product support fixtures 4. Different types of lifting platforms 3 can be quickly replaced by the quick knob 32 to accommodate different types of products for the lifting process, thereby reducing production costs.
[0033] The working principle of the lifting mechanism of this utility model that improves the effect of support reaction force is as follows:
[0034] Please see Figure 1-2 Before pressing the part into the product, the product needs to be placed on the lifting platform 3, and the part is supported and fixed by the product support fixture 4. The lifting platform 3 is then moved to the appropriate position by the lifting cylinder 6. The pressed part is placed on top of the part support fixture 5 and fixed in place. The part needs to be placed in a fixed and stable position to prevent it from tipping over or shifting during the pressing process. The pressing device located at the top presses the part downwards and presses it into the corresponding position of the product, making the part and the product an integrated assembly. During the pressing process, since the lifting cylinder 3 and the electro-proportional valve 7 are connected in series through pipelines, the operating pressure of the lifting cylinder 6 is adjusted in real time by adjusting the opening of the electro-proportional valve 7.
[0035] Throughout the pressing process, the operator has already placed the parts to be pressed onto the part support fixture 5, while the product to be assembled has been fixedly placed on the lifting platform 3 or its components have been temporarily supported on the mechanism frame 1. Before pressing, the lifting platform 3 is lifted to a suitable position, such as the highest position, using the lifting cylinder 6. At this point, the calibration pre-formulation is output through the electro-proportional valve 7, which controls the actual lifting force of the lifting cylinder 6, making it slightly greater than the total weight of the product, all the support fixtures, and the lifting platform itself.
[0036] After the product and parts are placed securely, the pressing device above the mechanism frame 1 presses the parts and products down simultaneously. During the pressing process, the parts are pressed into the product. After pressing to the designated position, the press device resumes upward movement. At this time, the output of the electro-proportional valve 7 is much greater than the opening and closing degree before pressing, so the lifting cylinder 6 raises the lifting platform back to the high position or returns it to the original position, so as to ensure that the next product is placed in the same initial position as the previous one.
[0037] The lifting mechanism of this invention, which improves the effect of support reaction force, eliminates the self-weight of the product and all supporting fixtures during press-fitting via an electro-proportional valve 7, outputting a constant and relatively small support reaction force. Furthermore, it can automatically execute preset parameters using a PLC according to different press-fitting formations or different product types, greatly improving the press-fitting effect and being compatible with various product press-fitting assembly processes. After press-fitting, it outputs a large lifting force to ensure the consistency of the next press-fitting position, avoiding the initial position inconsistencies that may occur in existing technologies, which could affect automated feeding.
[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the concept of the present utility model and using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included in the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
