Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of caster assembly technology, and in particular to a bottom caster oiling assembly machine. Background Technology

[0002] In industrial manufacturing and automated assembly, casters are key components widely used in industrial equipment, logistics handling, and furniture manufacturing. Their installation quality directly affects the stability and lifespan of the equipment. Traditional caster installation relies primarily on manual operation, including steps such as removing and placing casters, applying lubricant, and tightening. This is not only inefficient but also easily affected by human factors, leading to unstable tightening torque and poor assembly consistency. Furthermore, manual lubrication is difficult to ensure even distribution, potentially resulting in insufficient lubrication or waste, affecting the caster's rotational performance and lifespan.

[0003] Therefore, we propose a bottom caster oiling assembly machine to solve the existing problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems existing in the background technology by proposing a bottom caster oiling assembly machine.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a bottom caster oiling assembly machine, comprising a main platform, a feeding assembly, a tooling assembly, and a metering valve. The upper surface of the main platform is provided with a tooling fixture. A gantry frame is longitudinally slidably mounted on the main platform. A translation platform is laterally slidably mounted on the gantry frame. A lifting platform is vertically slidably mounted on the translation platform.

[0006] The feeding assembly is connected to the feed port of the main unit and is used to transport the casters to the feeding position;

[0007] The metering valve is located at a designated position on the main unit, and the opening end of the metering valve is provided with an oil outlet.

[0008] The tooling assembly is mounted on the main unit and is used for clamping, rotating, and installing casters.

[0009] Preferably, the feeding assembly consists of a vibrating feeding plate, a linear vibrator, and a guide rail. The vibrating feeding plate is located on the side of the main unit, the guide rail is located on the vibrating feeding plate, the linear vibrator is located on the lower surface of the guide rail, and the opening of the guide rail is connected to the feed port of the main unit.

[0010] Preferably, the vibrating feeder is used to store and orderly transport the casters, and the straight vibrator causes the casters to be transported in a straight line along the guide rail by vibration. The vibrating feeder and the straight vibrator work together to ensure that the casters are arranged in an orderly manner in the set direction and transported to the feeding position.

[0011] Preferably, the tooling assembly consists of a cylinder, a connecting frame, a rotary motor, a three-jaw mechanical head, and a torque sensor. The connecting frame is mounted on the outer wall of the lifting platform, and the cylinder is mounted on the connecting frame.

[0012] Preferably, the rotary motor is located at the output end of the cylinder, the torque sensor is located at the output end of the rotary motor, and the three-jaw mechanical head is located at the working end of the torque sensor.

[0013] Preferably, the movement of the gantry relative to the main unit, the movement of the translation platform relative to the gantry, and the movement of the lifting platform relative to the translation platform are all driven by servo motors and reducers through gears. The above-mentioned movement actions are used to control the tooling components to perform spatial movement.

[0014] Preferably, the rear end of the main unit is provided with a main control cabinet, and the operation surface of the main unit is provided with control buttons and a main control switch.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] During use, the bottom caster oiling and assembly machine of this utility model involves personnel placing casters in batches into the vibrating feeding tray, then manually placing the chassis on the tooling fixture, connecting to an external power source, and the feeding component working to arrange the casters in an orderly manner according to the set direction and transport them to the feeding position of the main unit.

[0017] Subsequently, the sliding motion of the gantry, translation table, and lifting table constitutes a three-axis motion module, which is used to control the movement of the tooling components.

[0018] At this time, the three-jaw mechanical head is controlled to move to the feeding position to pick up the caster and move to the oiling position, i.e., the oil outlet. The metering valve is connected to the external oiler and the oil is controlled through the metering valve. At this time, the cylinder drives the three-jaw mechanical head to move downward, so that the gripped workpiece contacts the oil outlet. At the same time, the rotary motor works to drive the robot arm to slowly rotate to complete the oiling action of the caster.

[0019] After the oiling is completed, the three-jaw robotic head moves upward and resets. Driven by the three-axis motion module, the three-jaw robotic head grabs the caster and moves it to the tooling fixture. The caster is aligned with the threaded hole of the chassis. Then, the caster and chassis are assembled by the cooperation of the tooling component and the three-axis motion module. The assembly process is to screw in, then screw out, and then screw in again. After completion, the three-jaw robotic arm will pick up the next caster.

[0020] When the tooling assembly is in operation, the three-jaw mechanical head clamps the workpiece, the cylinder controls the lifting and lowering action of the three-jaw mechanical head to adjust the height, the rotary motor drives the three-jaw mechanical head to rotate, and the torque sensor monitors the tightening torque to ensure that the torque reaches the set value and avoids being too tight or too loose, which would affect the assembly quality.

[0021] This invention employs a combination of a vibrating feeding plate and a linear vibrator to achieve automatic sorting and conveying of casters. A three-axis motion module controls the quasi-movement of a three-jaw manipulator in space. A quantitative valve, in conjunction with an automatic oiler, applies a quantitative amount of oil before caster assembly. Simultaneously, a cylinder controls the downward movement of the three-jaw manipulator head, ensuring full contact between the caster and the oil outlet. A rotary motor drives the three-jaw manipulator to rotate slowly, ensuring that the lubricating oil evenly covers the casters, improving their lubrication effect and preventing performance degradation caused by dry friction. The equipment uses a torque sensor to monitor the tightening torque of the casters in real time. During the "tightening in—untightening out—tightening in again" installation process, it ensures that each caster is tightened with the optimal torque, preventing thread damage due to overtightening or loosening due to overloosening, thus improving assembly consistency.

[0032] The metering valve 4 is located at a designated position on the main unit 1. The open end of the metering valve 4 is provided with an oil outlet 5.
