Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bearing manufacturing technology, and in particular to a bearing cap device with switchable double caps. Background Technology

[0002] The use of bearings is affected by various factors, one of which is the end cap. Some bearings do not require end caps under certain conditions, but a large proportion of bearings require end caps for further protection. The functions of bearing end caps are twofold: to prevent impurities from entering and to ensure that lubricant does not overflow due to the rotation of the balls in the bearing, thus maximizing the lubrication provided by the lubricant. Bearing end caps are sometimes made of rubber and sometimes of metal. Pressing in rubber or metal end caps requires two sets of pressing equipment, resulting in poor compatibility and failing to meet usage requirements. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a bearing cap device with switchable double caps, which can solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a bearing capping device with switchable double caps, including a worktable and a feeding track on the worktable, a capping frame above the feeding track, and two capping and capping mechanisms arranged side by side on the capping frame.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0020] like Figures 1-4As shown, this utility model provides a bearing capping device with switchable double caps, including a workbench 1 and a feeding track 2 provided on the workbench 1. A capping frame 3 is provided above the feeding track 2, and two capping mechanisms are arranged side by side on the capping frame 3.

[0021] The feeding track 2 is provided with a feeding seat 4, in which two feeding plates 5 are slidably arranged side by side. The upper end face of the feeding plate 5 is flush with the upper end face of the feeding seat 4. Each feeding plate 5 is provided with a stepped hole 6 for placing a single bearing end cap. Each feeding plate 5 is driven by its own feeding drive mechanism to move back and forth.

[0022] The material feeding seat 4 is provided with a transverse guide rail 7 above it. Two cover bottom plates 8 are slidably arranged side by side on the transverse guide rail 7. Each cover bottom plate 8 is driven by its own material changing drive mechanism to move left and right along the transverse guide rail 7.

[0023] Each of the bottom plates 8 of the cover is provided with two material dropping holes 9. Each material dropping hole 9 has a material dropping sleeve 10 extending downward from its periphery to contact the upper end face of the feeding seat 4 or the feeding plate 5. Each material dropping hole 9 is provided with a cover rod 11 above it. The upper ends of the two cover rods 11 are installed side by side on the top plate 12 of the cover. The top plate 12 of the cover is fixed to the bottom plate 8 of the cover by the cover column 13.

[0024] When the bottom plate 8 moves left and right along the transverse guide rail 7, one of its dropping holes 9 is aligned with the corresponding stepped hole 6 on the feeding plate 5. The dropping sleeve 10 covers the stepped hole 6. When the feeding plate 5 moves back and forth, the stepped hole 6 on it moves between the corresponding dropping hole 9 and the cap-removing and pressing mechanism.

[0025] In operation, one set of cap-stringing rods is equipped with an iron cap (bearing end cap), and another set of cap-stringing rods is equipped with a rubber cap (bearing end cap). One cap-removing and cap-pressing mechanism is opposite to the iron cap feeding mechanism and is used for feeding, removing, and pressing the iron cap. The other cap-removing and cap-pressing mechanism is opposite to the rubber cap feeding mechanism and is used for feeding, removing, and pressing the rubber cap. The process of loading, unloading, and pressing the iron cover is as follows: The loading mechanism and corresponding unloading and pressing mechanism are activated. The last iron cover on the cap-stringing rod 11 falls into the stepped hole 6 of the loading plate 5 through the dropping hole 9 and the dropping sleeve 10. Driven by the feeding track 2, the bearing moves to below the corresponding unloading and pressing mechanism. Then, the loading drive mechanism moves the loading plate 5 forward, positioning the iron cover on the loading plate 5 below the corresponding unloading and pressing mechanism. The unloading and pressing mechanism removes the iron cover from the loading plate. Then, the loading drive mechanism moves the loading plate 5 backward, pressing the iron cover into the bearing, thus completing the loading, unloading, and pressing of the iron cover. If the iron cover on one of the cap-stringing rods 11 is assembled, the cap-stringing base plate 8 can be moved by the material-changing drive mechanism to align the other cap-stringing rod 11 with the iron cover with the loading plate 5. The feeding, unloading, and pressing processes for the plastic caps are the same; that is, the feeding mechanism for the plastic caps and the corresponding unloading and pressing mechanism are activated. The two processes cannot run simultaneously. As needed, the control system can switch between the feeding, unloading, and pressing processes for either metal caps or plastic caps with a single button press. This invention features two sets of unloading and pressing mechanisms and a feeding mechanism: one for metal caps and one for plastic caps, allowing for switchable use of both caps to meet specific requirements and save costs.

[0026] Preferably, each cap-removing and cap-pressing mechanism includes a cap-removing and cap-pressing cylinder 14 fixed on the cap-pressing frame 3. The output end of the cap-removing and cap-pressing cylinder 14 is provided with a cap-pressing seat 15. A cap-removing core 16 is vertically movably mounted in the cap-pressing seat 15, with its lower end extending beyond the cap-pressing seat 15. A spring is provided between the upper end of the cap-removing core 16 and the cap-pressing seat 15. During operation, the bearing is positioned directly below the cap-removing core 16 by the conveying of the feeding track 2. Then, the stepped hole 6 of the feeding plate 5, carrying the bearing end cap (rubber cap or iron cap), is positioned between the cap-removing core 16 and the bearing. The cap-removing and cap-pressing cylinder 14 then moves the cap-pressing seat 15 and the cap-removing core 16 downwards, allowing the bearing end cap (rubber cap or iron cap) to fit over the cap-removing core 16. Then, the cap-removing and cap-pressing cylinder 14 moves the cap-removing core 16 upwards, the feeding plate 5 returns to its original position, and the cap is removed. The capping cylinder 14 drives the capping seat 15 and the cap removal core 16 to move down again. The cap removal core 16 is inserted into the bearing and continues to move down. Under the external action of the bearing, the cap removal core 16 moves up, the spring is compressed, and the capping seat 15 removes the bearing end cap (rubber cap or iron cap) from the cap removal core 16 and presses it onto the end face of the bearing. Then the capping cylinder 14 drives the capping seat 15 and the cap removal core 16 to move up, thereby realizing the cap removal and capping action of the bearing end cap (rubber cap or iron cap).

[0027] Preferably, the pressure cap seat 15 is provided with a guide post 17 vertically, and the pressure cap frame 3 is provided with a guide sleeve 18 vertically. The guide post 17 is slidably disposed in the guide sleeve 18, so that the pressure cap seat 15 can move up and down smoothly.

[0028] Preferably, the feeding drive mechanism includes a feeding drive cylinder 19 mounted on the workbench 1. The output end of the feeding drive cylinder 19 is connected to the rear end of the feeding plate 5. Two longitudinal guide rails 20 are arranged side by side on the workbench 1. Each feeding plate 5 has a longitudinal slider on its lower side that cooperates with the longitudinal guide rail 20. The feeding drive cylinder 19 drives the feeding plate 5 to move back and forth. The longitudinal slider on the feeding plate 5 moves back and forth along the longitudinal guide rail 20, and the feeding plate 5 moves back and forth smoothly.

[0029] Preferably, the stepped hole 6 is equipped with a material detection sensor, which can detect whether there is material (plastic cover or iron cover) in the stepped hole 6. If there is no material, the next step is not allowed and an alarm is triggered. If there is material, the next step is performed.

[0030] Preferably, the material changing drive mechanism includes a material changing drive cylinder 22 mounted on the loading seat 4. The output end of the material changing drive cylinder 22 is vertically provided with a pull rod 23. The end of the pull rod 23 is fixed to the middle of the bottom plate 8. The bottom of the bottom plate 8 is provided with a transverse sliding block 24 that cooperates with the transverse guide rail 7. The material changing drive cylinder 22 drives the pull rod 23 to move, and the pull rod 23 drives the bottom plate 8 to move left and right. The transverse sliding block 24 on the bottom plate 8 moves left and right along the transverse guide rail 7, and the bottom plate 8 moves left and right smoothly.

[0031] Although the embodiments of this utility model have been disclosed above, they are not limited to the applications listed in the specification and embodiments. They can be applied to various fields suitable for this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other modifications can be easily made. Therefore, without departing from the general concept defined by the claims and their equivalents, this utility model is not limited to the specific details and the illustrations shown and described herein.
