Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated assembly technology, and more specifically, to a spring assembly device. Background Technology

[0002] In traditional assembly processes for spring clips and wheel hub components, the assembly task primarily relies on manual operation. Operators must hold the spring clips and, based on visual observation and experience, precisely install them into the mounting positions on top of the wheel hub components. This purely manual assembly method has many insurmountable drawbacks.

[0003] From an assembly efficiency perspective, the speed of manual operation is limited by human physiological limits and fatigue levels. Prolonged repetitive assembly actions easily lead to operator fatigue, resulting in sluggish movements and a significant reduction in the number of parts assembled per unit time. Furthermore, manual assembly cannot achieve continuous, uninterrupted operation, and its production pace cannot meet the high-efficiency demands of modern large-scale production. Industry research data shows that the average daily output of manually assembled spring clips and wheel hub components is far lower than that of automated assembly equipment.

[0004] Regarding assembly quality, manual assembly is significantly affected by individual operator skill levels and working environment. Different operators have varying techniques and strengths, and even the same operator at different times may produce inconsistent assembly results, leading to inconsistent product quality. In some cases, issues such as loose assembly or misaligned spring clip installation angles caused by human error can directly impact the overall performance of wheel hub components, increasing after-sales repair and recall risks, and causing economic losses and reputational damage to companies. As the manufacturing industry continues to demand higher product quality and production efficiency, existing manual assembly methods are no longer adequate to meet industry needs and urgently require innovation and improvement.

[0026] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0027] See Figures 1 to 4 This application discloses a spring assembly device, including: a frame 1 for providing support; a conveying device 2 including a rotating disk 21 and a rotating disk driver 22, the rotating disk 21 being rotatably mounted on the frame 1, the output end of the rotating disk driver 22 being connected to the rotating disk 21 and driving the rotating disk 21 to rotate, the rotating disk 21 being provided with a plurality of positioning seats 3, the plurality of positioning seats 3 being evenly arranged around the circumference of the rotating disk 21, each positioning seat 3 being provided with a positioning groove 31 for matching with a wheel hub accessory, the opening of the positioning groove 31 being arranged upward; along the rotation direction of the rotating disk 21, a feeding station for feeding wheel hub accessories, an installation device 4 for installing springs into wheel hub accessories, a visual inspection device 5 for visual inspection of assembly components, a defective product rejection device 6, and a qualified product export device 7 are arranged sequentially, the feeding station, installation device 4, visual inspection device 5, defective product rejection device 6, and qualified product export device 7 being respectively arranged corresponding to the positioning seats 3 on the rotating disk 21.

[0028] The frame 1 adopts a metal frame structure with adjustable feet at the bottom to ensure the stability of the equipment during operation, thus providing rigid support for the entire spring assembly equipment. The rotating disk 21 is a circular disk structure made of high-strength alloy, with multiple positioning seats 3 evenly distributed on the edge. The center of the disk is rotatably connected to the frame 1 through a bearing and can rotate around the vertical axis. The rotating disk driver 22 adopts a stepper motor, which is connected to the central shaft of the rotating disk 21 through a coupling and driven by a PLC control system, which can precisely control the rotation angle and speed of the rotating disk 21. Multiple positioning seats 3 are arranged at equal intervals around the circumference of the rotating disk 21. Each positioning seat 3 has a positioning groove 31 on its top that matches the shape of the wheel hub parts. The opening of the positioning groove 31 faces upward, which facilitates material loading and assembly operations. The loading station is used to load wheel hub parts; the mounting device 4 is located downstream of the loading station, and there are two of them, which are used to install two spring clips onto the wheel hub parts respectively; the vision inspection device 5 is located downstream of the mounting device 4, and determines whether the spring clips are installed in place by image acquisition; the defective product rejection device 6 is located downstream of the vision inspection device 5, and if a defective product is detected, it is removed from the positioning seat 3; the qualified product export device 7 is the last station, and removes the qualified products from the positioning seat 3.

[0029] See also Figure 4In this embodiment, the mounting device 4 includes a first clamping mechanism 41, a first lifting mechanism 42, a first lateral movement mechanism 43, a first upright frame 44, and a vibrating feeding plate 45. The vibrating feeding plate 45 is mounted on the outside of the frame 1 and is used for orienting and feeding the spring sheet. The first upright frame 44 is fixedly mounted on the frame 1. The first clamping mechanism 41 is mounted on the lifting output end of the first lifting mechanism 42 and is used to clamp the spring sheet. The first lifting mechanism 42 is mounted on the lateral movement output end of the first lateral movement mechanism 43 and is used to vertically press the spring sheet into the wheel hub fitting. The first lateral movement mechanism 43 is mounted on the first upright frame 44, and the lateral path of the first lateral movement mechanism 43 covers the positioning seat 3 and the vibrating feeding plate 45. The first lateral movement mechanism 43 includes a first lead screw. Structure 431 and first movable seat 432, the first lead screw structure 431 is laterally spanned between the positioning seat 3 and the vibrating feeding plate 45, the first lead screw structure 431 drives the movable seat to move laterally; the first lifting mechanism 42 includes a first lifting cylinder 421 and a first lifting plate 422, the cylinder body of the first lifting cylinder 421 is fixed on the first movable seat 432, the first lifting plate 422 is connected to the telescopic rod of the first lifting cylinder 421; the first clamping mechanism 41 includes a first clamping cylinder 411 and two first clamping blocks 412, the cylinder body of the first clamping cylinder 411 is fixed on the first lifting plate 422, the two first clamping blocks 412 are connected to the clamping output end of the first clamping cylinder 411, used to clamp the spring sheet. Specifically, the vibrating feeding plate 45 is installed on the outer right side of the frame 1, and consists of a base, a vibrator and a spiral track. The track is equipped with directional grooves. The spring pieces rise along the track through vibration and align in a uniform direction before being conveyed to the discharge port. This automatic orientation and sorting of the spring pieces ensures that the posture of each output spring piece is consistent, facilitating material handling by the clamping mechanism. The first upright frame 44 is a metal bracket vertically fixed to the frame 1 to support the first transverse mechanism 43. The height of the upright frame is adjusted according to the height of the positioning seat 3 on the rotating disk 21, ensuring that the operating range of the clamping mechanism covers the positioning seat 3 and the vibrating feeding disk 45. Specifically, when the moving seat reaches above the discharge port of the vibrating feeding disk 45, the lifting mechanism descends, and the clamping block clamps the spring piece. Subsequently, the transverse mechanism moves above the positioning seat 3, the lifting mechanism descends, and the spring piece is vertically pressed into the mounting position of the wheel hub accessory. The clamping block then releases, completing the installation.

[0030] In this embodiment, the visual inspection device 5 includes a camera and a lighting lamp mounted on the frame 1. The camera lens is aligned with the positioning groove 31 of the positioning seat 3 and acquires image information of the assembled components within the positioning groove 31. The camera is electrically connected to the defective product rejection device 6 and the qualified product export device 7. The lighting lamp is used to provide illumination. Specifically, the camera is an industrial camera, mounted directly above the positioning seat 3, with its lens vertically aligned with the positioning groove 31, acquiring images of the assembled components in real time. Image recognition algorithms are used to detect whether the spring clips are installed in place, whether the angle is correct, and whether there are defects such as deformation. The lighting uses a ring-shaped LED light source, installed around the camera lens, to provide uniform illumination, avoid reflections and shadows, ensure image clarity, improve image acquisition quality, and guarantee the accuracy of visual inspection. The camera can be connected to the PLC control system via a data cable to transmit image information to the controller.

[0031] In this embodiment, a protective cover 51 is provided on the outside of the visual inspection device 5, and the camera and lighting are located inside the protective cover 51. Specifically, the protective cover 51 is a square cover made of transparent acrylic sheet or tempered glass, and is fixed to the frame 1 by brackets on all sides. This prevents external dust, metal shavings and other debris from falling on the camera lens or light source, avoiding affecting the image acquisition effect, and at the same time reduces external light interference and ensures the stability of the inspection environment.

[0032] In this embodiment, both the defective product rejection device 6 and the qualified product export device 7 include a second clamping mechanism, a second lifting mechanism, a second lateral movement mechanism, and a second upright frame.

The first conveyor belt mechanism 8 is correspondingly connected to the defective product rejection device 6, and the second conveyor belt mechanism 9 is correspondingly connected to the qualified product export device 7. Specifically, the first conveyor belt mechanism 8 and the second conveyor belt mechanism 9 are both installed on the outer left side of the frame 1 and are belt conveyors. The top of the conveyor belt of the first conveyor belt mechanism 8 corresponds to the dropping position of the defective product rejection device 6, and the top of the conveyor belt of the second conveyor belt mechanism 9 corresponds to the dropping position of the qualified product export device 7. When the second clamping mechanism of the rejection device and the export device moves above the conveyor belt, the lifting mechanism descends and places the assembly components on the conveyor belt. The conveyor belt is driven by a motor to run continuously to ensure that the components are transported smoothly.

[0033] In this embodiment, a spring assembly device operates by a turntable driver 22 driving a rotating disk 21 to rotate, with the positioning seat 3 moving with the rotating disk 21 to various workstations. Workers at the loading station place wheel hub components into the positioning groove 31. The rotating disk 21 rotates to the mounting device 4, and a vibrating loading disk 45 directionally conveys the springs. A first lateral movement mechanism 43, a first lifting mechanism 42, and a first clamping mechanism 41 cooperate to press the springs into the wheel hub components. The rotating disk 21 continues to rotate, and a visual inspection device 5 captures images using a camera and lighting to determine if the assembly is qualified. After inspection, a defective product rejection device 6 picks up defective products and places them on a first conveyor belt mechanism 8, while a qualified product export device 7 picks up qualified products and places them on a second conveyor belt mechanism 9, achieving automatic sorting.

The collaborative operation of each station replaces manual operation, significantly improving the production cycle and meeting the needs of large-scale, high-efficiency production.

[0035] 2. Precise installation: The vibrating feeding plate 45 achieves the orientation and sorting of the spring pieces; the lead screw lateral movement + cylinder lifting mechanism drives the clamping block to vertically squeeze the spring pieces into place with controllable pressure, eliminating manual force / angle deviation.

Intelligent Inspection: An industrial camera, in conjunction with a light source, captures images of assembled components and automatically identifies the installation status of spring clips (such as position and angle) through algorithms. The inspection is highly accurate and stable (the protective cover is 51mm dustproof and interference-proof).

[0037] IV. Automatic Sorting: Based on the detection results, the screw and cylinder driven clamping mechanism transfers unqualified products and qualified products to the corresponding conveyor belts respectively, ensuring accurate and timely sorting and avoiding material mixing.
