An automatic seal installation device for bearing assembly Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bearing assembly technology, and specifically to an automatic sealing ring installation device for bearing assembly. Background Technology
[0002] Bearings are crucial mechanical components, playing a vital role in supporting and transmitting motion within mechanical equipment. Bearings can be categorized into two types: radial bearings and axial bearings. Radial bearings primarily support rotating parts of equipment, while axial bearings mainly restrict axial movement. The primary function of bearings is to support and transmit motion. They can withstand various loads in mechanical equipment, such as gravity, vibration, and impact. Bearings also provide lubrication and cooling to maintain the normal operation of the equipment.
[0003] Currently, after the existing bearings are assembled, sealing rings need to be installed on both sides of the bearing to prevent dust, moisture and other impurities from entering the bearing and to extend the bearing's service life. However, the existing technology usually involves workers manually installing the sealing rings on both sides of the bearing.
[0004] In the above-mentioned solution, the installation method usually involves placing a large number of bearings with seals to be installed on a workbench and waiting for workers to install the seals on the bearings one by one. This is not only inefficient, but also allows dust, moisture and other impurities to easily enter the bearings, which can easily affect the service life of the bearings. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an automatic seal ring installation device for bearing assembly. By providing a flipping component, a seal ring fixing component, and a seal ring placement component, the device can automatically install seal rings on both sides of the bearing, solving the problem of low efficiency in existing installation methods and ensuring that dust, moisture, and other impurities do not enter the bearing, thereby ensuring that the service life of the bearing is not affected.
[0006] The solution of this utility model to the aforementioned technical problem is:
[0007] An automatic seal ring installation device for bearing assembly includes a base, two placement platforms for placing bearings are fixed to the upper end of the base, a flipping component is provided between the two placement platforms, an automatic oil injection device and a seal ring fixing component are provided above the placement platforms, a transport device is provided above the placement platform on the left, two mounting brackets are fixed to the upper end of the base, the mounting brackets are located between the automatic oil injection device and the seal ring fixing component, the upper end of the mounting brackets is provided with a seal ring placement component, and the upper end of the base is provided with a pushing device for pushing the bearings.
[0008] When installing seals on both sides of a bearing, the transport device is activated to clamp and fix the bearing to be sealed, placing it on the upper end of the placement platform. Then, the pushing device is activated to push the bearing directly below the automatic oiling device. The automatic oiling device is activated to spray lubricating oil between the bearing balls. After the lubricating oil is applied, the pushing device pushes the bearing below the seal placement assembly. The seal placement assembly is then activated to place the seal on the upper end of the bearing, ensuring the seal is coaxial with the bearing. The pushing device then pushes the bearing directly below the seal fixing assembly. The seal fixing assembly is activated to press the seal into the bearing, thus installing a seal on one side of the bearing. The pushing device then pushes the bearing into the tilting assembly. The tilting assembly is activated to rotate the bearing 180°. The above operation is repeated to install seals on both sides of the bearing. Finally, the pushing device pushes the bearing out, allowing for the next step of the bearing operation. By repeating the above process, seals can be continuously installed on both sides of the bearing.
[0009] By incorporating a flipping assembly, a sealing ring fixing assembly, and a sealing ring placement assembly, sealing rings can be automatically installed on both sides of the bearing, solving the problem of low efficiency in existing installation methods. This ensures that dust, moisture, and other impurities will not enter the bearing, thus guaranteeing that the bearing's service life will not be affected.
[0010] The utility model is further configured such that: the flipping component includes a rotary cylinder fixed to the upper end of the base, a lifting cylinder is fixed to the output end of the rotary cylinder, and a pressure plate is fixed to the output end of the lifting cylinder and the side wall of the lifting cylinder.
[0011] With the above technical solution, when it is necessary to rotate the bearing 180°, the lifting cylinder is activated, which moves one of the pressure plates downward so that the pressure plate presses against the upper end of the bearing, thereby clamping and fixing the bearing. Then, the rotating cylinder is activated, which rotates the lifting cylinder 180°, thereby rotating the bearing 180°.
[0012] The utility model is further configured such that: the sealing ring fixing assembly includes a first cylinder fixed to the upper end of the base, a pressure block fixed to the output end of the first cylinder, and a positioning block that cooperates with the bearing fixed to the lower end of the pressure block.
[0013] With the above technical solution, when the sealing ring needs to be pressed into the bearing, the first cylinder is activated, which drives the pressure block and the positioning block to move downward, so that the positioning block is inserted into the bearing, thereby positioning the bearing. At the same time, the pressure block presses against the upper end of the bearing, thereby pressing the sealing ring into the bearing.
[0014] The utility model is further configured such that: the sealing ring placement assembly includes a second cylinder fixed to the upper end of the mounting frame, a pusher fixed to the output end of the second cylinder, a plurality of sealing rings positioned on the upper end of the mounting frame, the lowermost sealing ring abutting against the upper end of the pusher, a third cylinder fixed to the upper end of the mounting frame, a support plate fixed to the output end of the third cylinder, a gripper cylinder fixed to the lower end of the support plate, and a positioning post fixed to the lower end of the gripper cylinder.
[0015] The above technical solution allows for the placement of the sealing ring on the upper end of the bearing. The second cylinder is activated to move the pusher frame, which in turn moves one of the sealing rings. When the sealing ring reaches the top of the bearing, the third cylinder is activated to move the support plate downwards. This downward movement of the support plate moves the gripper cylinder and positioning pin downwards, allowing the positioning pin to be inserted into the bearing, thus positioning the bearing. The gripper cylinder is then activated to clamp and fix the sealing ring. The second cylinder controls the pusher frame to reset, and the third cylinder moves the positioning pin downwards, inserting it into the bearing. Simultaneously, the sealing ring rests against the upper end of the bearing, thus placing the sealing ring on the upper end of the bearing and ensuring that the sealing ring is coaxial with the bearing.
[0016] The utility model is further configured such that: the pushing device includes a front-to-back moving mechanism fixed to the upper end of the base, a worktable fixed on the front-to-back moving mechanism, a lateral moving mechanism fixed to the upper end of the worktable, and multiple pushing arms fixed on the lateral moving mechanism.
[0017] With the above technical solution, when the bearing needs to be pushed to the required position, the forward and backward moving mechanism is activated to move the worktable. The movement of the worktable moves the transverse moving mechanism, which in turn moves multiple pushing arms, so that one of the bearings is located in one of the pushing arms. Then the transverse moving mechanism is activated again, thereby pushing the bearing to the required position.
[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0019] Compared with existing technologies, by incorporating a flipping component, a sealing ring fixing component, and a sealing ring placement component, sealing rings can be automatically installed on both sides of the bearing. This solves the problem of low efficiency in existing installation methods and ensures that dust, moisture, and other impurities do not enter the bearing, thereby ensuring that the bearing's service life is not affected.

[0025] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit its scope.
[0026] The present invention will be described below with reference to Figures 1 to 4.
[0027] An automatic seal ring installation device for bearing assembly includes a base 1, with two placement platforms 2 for placing bearings fixed at the upper end of the base 1. A flipping assembly is provided between the two placement platforms 2. An automatic oil injection device 3 and a seal ring fixing assembly are provided above the placement platforms 2. A transport device 4 is provided above the placement platform 2 on the left side. Two mounting brackets 5 are fixed at the upper end of the base 1. The mounting brackets 5 are located between the automatic oil injection device 3 and the seal ring fixing assembly. A seal ring placement assembly is provided at the upper end of the mounting brackets 5. A pushing device for pushing bearings is provided at the upper end of the base 1.
[0028] When installing seals on both sides of a bearing, the transport device 4 is activated to clamp and fix the bearing to be sealed, and place it on the upper end of the placement platform 2. Then, the pushing device is activated to push the bearing directly below the automatic oiling device 3. The automatic oiling device 3 is activated to spray lubricating oil between the bearing balls. After the lubricating oil is sprayed, the bearing is pushed to the lower end of the seal placement assembly by the pushing device. The seal placement assembly is then activated to place the seal on the upper end of the bearing, ensuring that the seal is coaxial with the bearing. The bearing is then pushed to the lower end of the seal fixing assembly by the pushing device. The seal fixing assembly is activated to press the seal into the bearing, thus installing the seal on one side of the bearing. The bearing is then pushed to the tilting assembly by the pushing device. The tilting assembly is activated to tilt the bearing 180°. The above operation is repeated to install seals on both sides of the bearing. The bearing is then pushed out by the pushing device to proceed to the next step. By repeating the above operation process, seals can be continuously installed on both sides of the bearing.
[0029] By incorporating a flipping assembly, a sealing ring fixing assembly, and a sealing ring placement assembly, sealing rings can be automatically installed on both sides of the bearing, solving the problem of low efficiency in existing installation methods. This ensures that dust, moisture, and other impurities will not enter the bearing, thus guaranteeing that the bearing's service life will not be affected.
[0030] The flipping assembly includes a rotary cylinder 6 fixed to the upper end of the base 1, a lifting cylinder 7 fixed to the output end of the rotary cylinder 6, and a pressure plate 8 fixed to the output end of the lifting cylinder 7 and the side wall of the lifting cylinder 7.
[0031] When it is necessary to rotate the bearing 180°, start the lifting cylinder 7, which moves one of the pressure plates 8 downwards, so that the pressure plate 8 presses against the upper end of the bearing, thereby clamping and fixing the bearing. Then start the rotating cylinder 6, which rotates the lifting cylinder 7 180°, thereby rotating the bearing 180°.
[0032] The sealing ring fixing assembly includes a first cylinder 9 fixed to the upper end of the base 1, a pressure block 10 fixed to the output end of the first cylinder 9, and a positioning block 11 that cooperates with the bearing fixed to the lower end of the pressure block 10.
[0033] When the sealing ring needs to be pressed into the bearing, the first cylinder 9 is activated, which drives the pressure block 10 and the positioning block 11 to move downward, so that the positioning block 11 is inserted into the bearing, thereby positioning the bearing. At the same time, the pressure block 10 presses against the upper end of the bearing, thereby pressing the sealing ring into the bearing.
[0034] The sealing ring placement assembly includes a second cylinder 12 fixed to the upper end of the mounting frame 5, a pusher 13 fixed to the output end of the second cylinder 12, several sealing rings positioned on the upper end of the mounting frame 5, the lowermost sealing ring abutting against the upper end of the pusher 13, a third cylinder 14 fixed to the upper end of the mounting frame 5, a support plate 15 fixed to the output end of the third cylinder 14, a gripper cylinder 16 fixed to the lower end of the support plate 15, and a positioning post 17 fixed to the lower end of the gripper cylinder 16.
[0035] When the sealing ring needs to be placed on the upper end of the bearing, the second cylinder 12 is activated, which moves the pusher 13. The movement of the pusher 13 moves one of the sealing rings. When the sealing ring moves to the top of the bearing, the third cylinder 14 is activated, which moves the support plate 15 downward. The downward movement of the support plate 15 moves the gripper cylinder 16 and the positioning pin 17 downward, so that the positioning pin 17 is inserted into the bearing, thereby positioning the bearing. The gripper cylinder 16 is then activated to clamp and fix the sealing ring. The pusher 13 is reset by the control of the second cylinder 12, and the positioning pin 17 is moved downward by the third cylinder 14, so that the positioning pin 17 is inserted into the bearing. At the same time, the sealing ring is placed against the upper end of the bearing, thereby placing the sealing ring on the upper end of the bearing and making the sealing ring coaxial with the bearing.
[0036] The pushing device includes a front-to-back moving mechanism 18 fixed to the upper end of the base 1, a worktable 19 fixed on the front-to-back moving mechanism 18, a transverse moving mechanism 20 fixed to the upper end of the worktable 19, and a plurality of pushing arms 21 fixed on the transverse moving mechanism 20.
[0037] When the bearing needs to be pushed to the desired position, the forward and backward moving mechanism 18 is activated, which moves the worktable 19. The movement of the worktable 19 moves the transverse moving mechanism 20, which in turn moves multiple pushing arms 21, so that one of the bearings is located in one of the pushing arms 21. Then the transverse moving mechanism 20 is activated again, so that the bearing can be pushed to the desired position.
[0038] Working principle:
[0039] When seals need to be installed on both sides of the bearing, the transport device 4 is activated to clamp and fix the bearing to be sealed, and place it on the upper end of the placement platform 2. Then, the forward and backward moving mechanism 18 is activated, which moves the worktable 19. The movement of the worktable 19 moves the transverse moving mechanism 20, which in turn moves multiple push arms 21, positioning one of the bearings within one of the push arms 21. The transverse moving mechanism 20 is then activated again, pushing the bearing directly below the automatic oiling device 3. The automatic oiling device 3 is then activated, allowing oil to be injected into the bearing. Lubricating oil is sprayed between the bearing's balls. After the lubricating oil is applied, the bearing is pushed to the bottom of the sealing ring placement assembly by a pushing device. Then, the second cylinder 12 is activated, driving the pushing frame 13 to move. The movement of the pushing frame 13 causes one of the sealing rings to move. When the sealing ring moves above the bearing, the third cylinder 14 is activated, driving the support plate 15 to move downwards. The downward movement of the support plate 15 causes the gripper cylinder 16 and the positioning pin 17 to move downwards, so that the positioning pin 17 is inserted into the bearing, thereby positioning the bearing. The gripper cylinder 16 is then activated to clamp and fix the sealing ring. The second cylinder 12 controls the pusher frame 13 to reset, and then the third cylinder 14 drives the positioning pin 17 to move downward, so that the positioning pin 17 is inserted into the bearing. At the same time, the sealing ring abuts against the upper end of the bearing, thus placing the sealing ring at the upper end of the bearing and making the sealing ring coaxial with the bearing. Then, the pushing device pushes the bearing to directly below the sealing ring fixing assembly. The first cylinder 9 is activated, driving the pressure block 10 and the positioning block 11 to move downward, so that the positioning block 11 is inserted into the bearing, thus positioning the bearing. At the same time, the pressure block 10 presses against the upper end of the bearing, thus allowing the sealing ring to be positioned. A sealing ring is installed on one side of the bearing. The bearing is then pushed to the upper end of the pressure plate 8 by a pushing device. The lifting cylinder 7 is activated, which moves the other pressure plate 8 downward, so that the pressure plate 8 presses against the upper end of the bearing, thereby clamping and fixing the bearing. Then, the rotating cylinder 6 is activated, which rotates the lifting cylinder 7 180°, thereby rotating the bearing 180°. The above operation is repeated, so that sealing rings can be installed on both sides of the bearing. The bearing is then pushed out by the pushing device, so that the bearing can be processed for the next step. The above operation process is repeated, so that sealing rings can be continuously installed on both sides of the bearing.
[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model. These improvements and modifications assumed above should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
