Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of reciprocating press-fitting technology for rubber bushings, and specifically to a reciprocating press-fitting device for preventing rubber bushings from springing back. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of the automotive industry, a dazzling array of car brands have emerged, each manufacturer offering a diverse and appealing range of selling points. Customers' demands for automobiles are also increasing, especially with the elimination of engines in new energy vehicles, leading to a greater appreciation for their quiet and comfortable interiors. Therefore, NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) standards have reached unprecedented levels. Various automotive and component manufacturers are exploring different solutions to better reduce NVH. Using flexible rubber contacts in component assembly has become a preferred approach, aiming to buffer and reduce noise. Rubber bushings are most widely used in automotive steering systems, chassis mounting systems, and transmission points. However, after press-fitting, rubber bushings experience springback due to the plastic deformation of the rubber, leading to dimensional instability and even instances of bushing detachment. Single-pressed rubber bushings have limiting rings; shallow press-fitting may result in the limiting ring not being fully exposed, while deep press-fitting can cause dimensional deviations. Therefore, the dimensional instability caused by rubber bushing springback and the incomplete flange of the rubber limiting ring have become significant challenges. In such a competitive environment, excellence translates to more orders and better development. Therefore, better solutions and control methods are needed to address the bushing rebound and flange issues to meet the assembly requirements of automotive parts. This necessitates the design of a press-fitting mechanism to solve this problem.
[0003] The specification of a rubber bushing pressing device and pressing process in the prior art (publication number CN103056643A) mentions that it "includes a pressing component for placing a metal mandrel, the pressing component is connected to a guide sleeve with a pressing channel, and a pressing rod is provided in the guide sleeve for pressing the outer rubber layer into the metal mandrel, and the inner end of the pressing rod is provided with a pressing head adapted to the diameter of the pressing channel". However, the bushing pressing device in the prior art has problems with unstable bushing springback and incomplete flange. Utility Model Content

[0025] Reference Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model provides a reciprocating pressing device for preventing rubber bushings from springing back, including a body 1, a first servo press 2, and a second servo press 3. A top plate 10 is fixed to the upper end of the body 1, and the first servo press 2 is installed on the left front side of the top plate 10. A notch 11 is opened in the middle of the top plate 10, and the second servo press 3 is installed in the notch 11.

A set of lower lifting rods 100 are installed on the upper ends of both the second lifting cylinder 16 and the first lifting cylinder 101.
[0026] In this embodiment, side fixing plates 14 are fixed at both ends of the top plate 10. The lower end of the side fixing plate 14 is fixed on the base 15, and a first Z-axis linear guide rail 12 is provided on the inner side wall of the left side fixing plate 14. A first pressure head 21 is provided at the lower end of the first servo press 2, and a set of rubber bushings is fitted on the first pressure head 21. The first pressure head 21 is vertically aligned with the first shaft core sleeve 19, and the lower rod of the first servo press 2 passes through the side lifting platform 20. A first slider 22 is provided at the left end of the side lifting platform 20, and the first slider 22 is slidably connected to the first Z-axis linear guide rail 12.
[0027] As a preferred embodiment, the first Z-axis linear guide 12, the first slider 22, and the side lifting platform 20 in this utility model are designed to ensure the stable and accurate positioning of the product when the first press head 21 presses it down. This allows the first servo press 2 to drive the first press head 21 to press the product into the first shaft core sleeve 19 quickly, accurately, efficiently, and conveniently. Moreover, the reciprocating pressing causes the rubber bushing to move, thereby better releasing the rubber's rebound force and making the rubber dimensions more stable after pressing.
[0028] In this embodiment, a first shaft core sleeve 19 is installed on the front left side of the upper end face of the base 15, and a second shaft core sleeve 102 is installed in the middle of the upper end face of the base 15. The first shaft core sleeve 19 and the second shaft core sleeve 102 have the same structure. A pressing cylinder 13 is installed on the rear side of the middle of the machine body 1. A middle panel 17 is installed on the front side of the middle of the upper end face of the base 15, and a protrusion 18 is installed at the center of the middle panel 17. A second Z-axis linear guide rail 33 is provided on the front side of the rear panel 31. A middle lifting platform 32 is slidably mounted on the second Z-axis linear guide rail 33.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, the first pressing head 21 and the first shaft core sleeve 19, and the second pressing head 34 and the second shaft core sleeve 102 are vertically aligned and reciprocally press the rubber bushing. After pressing, the complete product can be ejected by the lower push rod 100 driven by the first lifting cylinder 101 and the second lifting cylinder 16, which can ensure the flange of the bushing and the depth of the bushing after pressing. The unloading is faster and more convenient, which helps to improve the overall work efficiency.
[0030] Moreover, the product is highly versatile; by changing the cylinder and pressure head, it can be adapted to various bushing pressing environments.
[0031] This invention can effectively solve the problems of unstable bushing springback and incomplete flanging in existing bushing pressing devices. By adding a return mechanism at the bottom, this invention can realize the alternating reciprocating motion of the top pressing head and the bottom return mechanism, and can also improve the bushing springback and flanging problems, thereby ensuring the dimensional stability of the bushing after pressing and improving the quality of the product.
[0032] Working principle: First, place the product on the press machine fixture, install the rubber bushing on the press head, and start the equipment; use the first servo press 2 to drive the first press head 21 and the second servo press 3 to drive the second press head 34 to press the product downwards and press the bushing. The bushing is pressed into the product, and the pressing depth needs to exceed the product drawing to ensure that the bushing can be fully turned over; at this time, the rubber bushing has a reverse elastic force. The bottom return cylinder pushes the bushing back 2mm, and the servo press presses the bushing down again, 0.5mm shallower than the first pressing depth. The bottom return cylinder pushes the bushing back 2mm, and the servo press presses the bushing down again, pressing to the middle value state; the first servo press ensures the turning over, and the two reciprocating movements of the return and servo press release the elastic force of the rubber, ensuring the dimensional stability of the rubber bushing after pressing.
[0033] The above embodiments are used to explain and illustrate the present utility model, and not to limit the utility model. Any modifications and changes made to the present utility model within the spirit and scope of the claims should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
