Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of skateboard production equipment, and in particular to a skateboard bracket nut mounting device. Background Technology

[0002] Scooters are a type of extreme sport. Scooters typically consist of a skateboard, a base, a frame, and wheels. The base is fixedly mounted on the skateboard, and the wheels are rotatably connected to both ends of the frame. The frame with the wheels is then fixedly mounted on the base.

[0003] During the production process, such as Figure 1 As shown, pulley 4 needs to be mounted on bracket 1, and bracket 1 needs to be fixedly mounted on the skateboard. During the installation process of bracket 1 and pulley 4, as follows... Figure 1 As shown, typically two washers 2 are placed on both sides of the pulley 4, and then the pulley 4 is fixedly mounted on the bracket 1 by threading nuts 3 onto it. In current manufacturers, the nuts are usually tightened manually by operators. While this ensures the pulley is securely mounted on the bracket, the assembly efficiency is low, and the operator's workload is high.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need for a device that can automatically assemble nuts. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the above-mentioned technical problems and provide a skateboard bracket nut mounting device, the technical solution of which is as follows:

[0006] A skateboard bracket nut mounting device includes:

[0007] A vibratory feeder is used to hold nuts and vibrate and transport them toward the outlet of the vibratory feeder.

[0008] The feeding mechanism includes a conveying channel connected to the vibratory feeder, and a positioning groove for accommodating and fixing a nut is provided on one end of the conveying channel away from the vibratory feeder.

[0009] The locking mechanism is fixedly installed on the frame next to the feeding mechanism. A base is slidably connected to the frame along the conveying direction of the conveying channel. A swing drive device is fixedly connected to the base, and the swing drive device is driven by a nut lock to drive the nut lock to swing along the horizontal axis.

[0010] Furthermore, a pushing component is also provided on the locking mechanism for pushing the base to reciprocate along the conveying direction of the conveying channel. The pushing component includes a lead screw arranged along the conveying direction of the conveying channel, a driving motor connected to the lead screw, and a threaded sleeve threadedly connected to the lead screw. The threaded sleeve is fixedly connected to the base, thereby driving the base to reciprocate along the conveying direction of the conveying channel.

[0011] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism includes a linear vibrating feeder, which is fixedly arranged in the direction of the vibrating plate, and the conveying channel is arranged on the top of the linear vibrating feeder.

[0012] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism also includes a lifting feeding assembly, which includes...

[0013] The mounting plate is vertically arranged opposite to the conveying channel.

[0014] A support block is provided below the nut lock and is slidably connected to the mounting plate in the vertical direction. It is also corresponding to the outlet end of the conveying channel. The positioning groove is provided on the top of the support block for connecting with the conveying channel.

[0015] A lifting drive device is fixedly installed on the mounting plate and is connected to the support block for driving the support block to reciprocate in the vertical direction.

[0016] Furthermore, the positioning groove includes an opening corresponding to the conveying channel, and a limiting block for limiting the nut is provided on the side away from the conveying channel, and the limiting block has a gap on at least one side for the positioning groove to communicate with the outside.

[0017] Furthermore, the lifting drive device includes a first cylinder, which is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate and is connected to the support block for driving the support block to reciprocate in the vertical direction.

[0018] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the positioning groove is provided with a sliding hole in the vertical direction, and a lifting column is slidably connected in the sliding hole in the vertical direction. The lifting drive device also includes a second cylinder fixedly installed on the support block. The second cylinder is drivenly connected to the lifting column to drive the lifting column to reciprocate in the vertical direction within the sliding hole.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0020] In the assembly process of attaching the pulley to the bracket and locking it with a nut, this device automatically transports and assembles the nut through a vibratory feeder, a feeding mechanism, and a locking mechanism, thus replacing the operator. During the nut locking process, a second cylinder drives the lifting column to raise the nut onto the locking mechanism, enabling rapid completion of the nut assembly. Simultaneously, the locking nut swings under the drive of the swing drive device, corresponding to the bracket, and moves rapidly towards the bracket under the drive of the pushing component. As the locking mechanism rotates the nut, it steadily and precisely pushes it towards the bracket, thus tightening the nut onto the bracket. From the above analysis, it can be seen that this device can automatically complete the nut installation work, improve work efficiency, and reduce the labor intensity of the operator.

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Attached Figure Description

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0029] It should be noted that all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in this utility model embodiment are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0030] Furthermore, the use of terms such as "first" and "second" in the embodiments of this utility model is for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated.

[0031] This utility model provides a skateboard bracket nut installation device, which can automatically install the nut on the skateboard bracket and tighten the nut to lock and fix the pulley, thereby reducing the labor intensity of the operator and improving production efficiency.

[0032] like Figure 2-6 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a nut mounting device for a skateboard bracket, which includes a vibratory feeder 100, a feeding mechanism 200, and a locking mechanism 300. The vibratory feeder 100 is used to hold nuts and vibrate and convey them toward the outlet of the vibratory feeder 100. The feeding mechanism 200 is used to receive and convey the nuts output by the vibratory feeder 100. It includes a conveying channel 201 connected to the vibratory feeder 100. A positioning groove 202 for accommodating and fixing the nuts is provided on the end of the conveying channel 201 away from the vibratory feeder 100. The locking mechanism 300 grabs the nuts that move into the positioning groove 202 and screws them onto the bracket. The locking mechanism 300 is fixedly mounted on a frame next to the feeding mechanism 200. A base 301 is slidably connected to the frame along the conveying direction of the conveying channel 201. A swing drive device 310 is fixedly connected to the base 301, and the swing drive device 310 is driven by a nut locking device 320 to drive the nut locking device 320 to swing along a horizontal axis.

[0033] During the installation of the nut, the nut is placed inside the vibratory feeder 100 and conveyed towards the outlet direction of the vibratory feeder 100 during vibration. The nut is conveyed through the conveying channel 201 to the positioning groove 202 and positioned and fixed, so that the locking mechanism 300 can easily pick up the nut located in the positioning groove 202. The nut locking device 320 swings under the drive of the swing drive device 310, so that the execution end of the nut locking device 320 is aligned with the nut above the positioning groove 202 and the nut is picked up. Subsequently, the nut locking device 320 is swung to a horizontal state again by the swing drive device 310, so that the nut can be tightened onto the bracket by the locking device 320. In this embodiment, the swing drive device 310 is exemplified by a motor, and the nut locking device 320 is connected to the motor and driven by the motor to swing. In other embodiments, the swing drive device 310 can also be exemplified by a rotary cylinder.

[0034] In this embodiment, a pushing component 330 is also provided on the locking mechanism 300 for pushing the base 301 to reciprocate along the conveying direction of the conveying channel 201. The pushing component 330 includes a lead screw 331 arranged along the conveying direction of the conveying channel 201, a pushing motor 333 that is drivenly connected to the lead screw 331, and a threaded sleeve 332 that is threadedly connected to the lead screw 331. The threaded sleeve 332 is fixedly connected to the base 301, thereby driving the base 301 to reciprocate along the conveying direction of the conveying channel 201.

[0035] Driven by the push assembly 330, the nut locking device 320 can reciprocate along the conveying direction, thereby moving the nut toward the bracket. At the same time, during the tightening of the nut, the push assembly 330 pushes the locking device 320, thereby smoothly connecting the nut to the bracket and tightening it. In this embodiment, the lead screw 331 transmission system is used as the push assembly 330, which can move the nut locking device 320 toward the bracket more accurately.

[0036] In this embodiment, the feeding mechanism 200 includes a linear vibratory feeder 210, which is fixedly disposed in the direction of the vibratory plate 100, and the conveying channel 201 is disposed on the top of the linear vibratory feeder 210. The linear vibratory feeder 210 can vibrate and feed the nuts located within the conveying channel 201. At the same time, when the foremost nut is located within the positioning groove 202, the nuts arranged behind it will not fall out of the conveying channel 201 due to excessive conveying force, thus ensuring the reliability of nut conveying.

[0037] In this embodiment, as Figure 4-6 As shown, the feeding mechanism 200 also includes a lifting feeding assembly 220, which can lift the nut upwards while the nut in the positioning groove 202 is being attracted by the nut locking device 320, so as to facilitate and quickly connect the nut with the nut locking device 320. The assembly includes a mounting plate 221, a support block 222, and a lifting drive device 223. The mounting plate 221 is vertically arranged opposite to the conveying channel 201. The support block 222 is arranged below the nut locking device 320 and is slidably connected to the mounting plate 221 in the vertical direction. It corresponds to the outlet end of the conveying channel 201. The positioning groove 202 has the top of the support block 222 for connecting with the conveying channel 201. The lifting drive device 223 is fixedly installed on the mounting plate 221 and is connected to the support block 222 for driving the support block 222 to move back and forth in the vertical direction.

[0038] After the nut locking device 320 is driven to swing by the swing drive device 310, the execution end of the nut locking device 320 faces the positioning groove 202. At this time, the support block 222 moves upward under the drive of the lifting drive device 223, so that the nut and the execution end of the locking device 320 are connected to each other, and the nut can be assembled onto the nut locking device 320.

[0039] In this embodiment, as Figure 6 As shown, the positioning groove 202 includes an opening 203 corresponding to the conveying channel 201, and a limiting block 204 for limiting the nut is provided on the side away from the conveying channel 201, and the limiting block 204 has a gap 205 on at least one side for the positioning groove 202 to communicate with the outside. When the nut is driven by the vibrating feeder 210 to be conveyed in the conveying channel 201 and moved to the positioning groove 202, the nut enters the positioning groove 202 through the opening 203 and is limited and blocked by the limiting block 204, thereby limiting the nut within the positioning groove 202. At the same time, since some burrs or rough edges may exist in the nut during the processing, during the vibration conveying process, the rough edges or burrs fall off the nut during the collision between the nuts and are conveyed into the positioning groove 202 along with the nut through vibration, thus affecting the positioning of the nut within the positioning groove 202. A gap 205 is provided on at least one side of the limiting block 204, which allows the burrs to fall out of the positioning groove 202 through the gap 205 during vibration, thereby reducing interference with the nut. In this embodiment, gaps 205 are provided on both sides of the limiting block 204, thereby improving the burr removal rate.

[0040] In this embodiment, the lifting drive device 223 includes a first cylinder 224, which is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 221 and is connected to the support block 222 for driving the support block 222 to reciprocate vertically. The support block 222 is driven by the first cylinder 224, which is simple and reliable, and can quickly transport the nut to the corresponding position on the locking device 320. Meanwhile, to improve the efficiency of assembling the nut onto the locking device 320, such as... Figure 6As shown, a sliding hole 225 is provided on the bottom surface of the positioning groove 202 in the vertical direction. A lifting column 226 is slidably connected in the sliding hole 225 in the vertical direction. The lifting drive device 223 also includes a second cylinder 227 fixedly installed on the support block 222. The second cylinder 227 is driven to lift the column 226, and is used to drive the lifting column 226 to reciprocate in the vertical direction within the sliding hole 225. After the first cylinder 224 conveys the support block 222 toward the locking device 320, the second cylinder 227 raises the lifting column 226 to fix the nut located in the positioning groove 202 within the positioning groove 202, making it easier for the locking device 320 to retrieve it. Alternatively, when the execution end of the locking device 320 is aligned with the positioning groove 202, the lifting column 226 is raised under the drive of the second cylinder 227, thereby lifting the nut within the positioning groove 202 and pushing it into the execution end of the locking device 320.

[0041] For those skilled in the art, various other corresponding changes and modifications can be obtained based on the structure and principles disclosed in this utility model, and all such changes and modifications fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
