[0042] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 6 On one hand, this utility model provides a lubricating oil distributor production equipment for producing lubricating oil distributors. The lubricating oil distributor includes an upper cover plate 910 and a lower cover plate 920. The upper cover plate 910 covers and is welded to the lower cover plate 920. The surfaces of the upper cover plate 910 and the lower cover plate 920 are provided with a plurality of screw holes 930. The lubricating oil distributor production equipment includes a welding mechanism 100, a screw fastening module 200, an airtightness detection mechanism 300, and a conveying module 400. The welding mechanism 100 is adapted to weld the upper cover plate 910 and the lower cover plate 920. The screw fastening module 200 is located downstream of the welding mechanism 100 and is adapted to drive screws into the screw holes 930. The airtightness detection mechanism 300 is located downstream of the screw fastening module 200. The conveying module 400 is connected to the welding mechanism 100, the screw fastening module 200, and the airtightness detection mechanism 300.

[0043] According to the lubricating oil distributor production equipment of this utility model embodiment, the upper cover plate 910 and the lower cover plate 920 of the lubricating oil distributor are stacked on the transport module 400. The transport module 400 first transports them to the welding mechanism 100. The welding mechanism 100 welds the upper cover plate 910 and the lower cover plate 920. The welded product is then transported by the transport module 400 to the screw fastening module 200. The screw fastening module 200 screws into the screw holes 930 on the upper cover plate 910 and the lower cover plate 920 for assembly. The assembled product is then transported by the transport module 400 to the airtightness testing mechanism 300 for airtightness testing.

[0044] According to the lubricating oil distributor production equipment of this utility model embodiment, the single welding mechanism 100, screw fastening module 200 and airtightness detection mechanism 300 are automatically connected by the handling module 400, so as to realize the automated production of lubricating oil distributors integrating welding, screw fastening and airtightness detection processes, effectively improving the production efficiency of lubricating oil distributors.

[0045] In this embodiment, the welding mechanism 100 can be welded using ultrasonic welding. Ultrasonic welding is fast and easy to operate, making it suitable for the production of small parts. Of course, the welding mechanism 100 can also be welded using friction welding, high-frequency welding, laser welding, or other methods.

[0046] In some embodiments, combined with Figures 1 to 3 and Figure 5As shown, the screw fastening module 200 includes multiple screw fastening mechanisms 210, and different screw fastening mechanisms 210 are suitable for fastening screws to different surfaces of the lubricant distributor; the conveying module 400 includes a first conveying mechanism 410, a conveying mechanism 420 and a number of second conveying mechanisms 430, the first conveying mechanism 410 is connected to the welding mechanism 100 and one of the multiple screw fastening mechanisms 210, the conveying mechanism 420 is connected to the first conveying mechanism 410 and the number of second conveying mechanisms 430, and the conveying tail end of the second conveying mechanism 430 is provided with one of the multiple screw fastening mechanisms 210.

[0047] In this embodiment, the lubricating oil distributor has three screw holes 930 as an example. One screw hole is located on the upper surface of the lubricating oil distributor, and the remaining two screw holes 930 are located on the two sides of the lubricating oil distributor. First, the first conveying mechanism 410 transports the welded product to the first screw fastening mechanism 210 to screw the screw holes 930 on the upper surface of the lubricating oil distributor. After assembly, the handling mechanism 420 transports the product to the second conveying mechanism 430. The second conveying mechanism 430 transfers the product to the tail end, and the second screw fastening mechanism 210 screws the screw holes 930 located on the side of the lubricating oil distributor.

[0048] In this embodiment, by setting multiple screw fastening mechanisms 210 in combination with the first conveying mechanism 410, the transport mechanism 420, and the second conveying mechanism 430, each screw fastening mechanism 210 has sufficient operating space when screwing. Furthermore, the first conveying mechanism 410 and the second conveying mechanism 430 can control the placement of the lubricating oil distributor so that each screw hole 930 faces the screw fastening mechanism 210 when screwing, without the need to adjust the structure of the screw fastening mechanism 210. This facilitates the reuse of the screw fastening mechanism 210 and reduces the production equipment cost of the lubricating oil distributor.

[0049] In this embodiment, a separate screw fastening mechanism 210 can be provided for each screw hole 930. For example, when the lubricating oil distributor includes one screw hole 930 on the upper surface and two screw holes 930 on both sides, a screw fastening mechanism 210 can be provided on the first conveying mechanism 410 for screwing on the upper surface. The conveying mechanism 420 can be connected to two second conveying mechanisms 430, respectively corresponding to screwing on the two screw holes 930 on the sides. Of course, a rotating part 431 (described in detail below) can also be provided in the second conveying mechanism 430 to adjust the orientation of the screw holes 930 so that the screw fastening mechanism 210 at the tail end of the second conveying mechanism 430 can assemble multiple screw holes 930 on the sides.

[0050] In other embodiments, a single screw fastening mechanism 210 can be provided, which can simultaneously drive screws into the screw holes 930 on different surfaces of the lubricant distributor by setting screw mounting heads at multiple angles. However, this solution requires an additional design for the screw fastening mechanism 210, which is not conducive to the reuse of the existing screw fastening mechanism 210.

[0051] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 2 As shown, the first conveying mechanism 410 includes a rotary conveyor table 411 and a first fixture 412. The first fixture 412 is connected to the rotary conveyor table 411 and is suitable for carrying the lubricating oil distributor. The welding mechanism 100 and the screw fastening mechanism 210 are arranged around the rotation axis of the rotary conveyor table 411. By using the rotary conveyor table 411 for rotary conveying, the lateral space of the rotary conveyor table 411 is fully utilized to place the welding mechanism 100 and the screw fastening mechanism 210. Compared with the form of conveyor belts or conveyor tracks, the space utilization rate is higher, which is conducive to improving the integration of the lubricating oil distributor production equipment.

[0052] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 2 As shown, the first conveying mechanism 410 includes a plurality of first fixtures 412, which are arranged around the rotation axis of the rotary conveyor 411. The welding mechanism 100 is adapted to one of the plurality of first fixtures 412, and the screw fastening mechanism 210 is adapted to one of the plurality of first fixtures 412.

[0053] In this embodiment, four first fixtures 412 are provided on the rotary conveyor table 411, which are used for feeding, welding, screwing and unloading of the lubricating oil distributor. By setting multiple first fixtures 412, the feeding and unloading of the rotary conveyor table 411, the welding of the welding mechanism 100 and the screwing of the screw fastening mechanism 210 are carried out simultaneously, which effectively improves production efficiency.

[0054] In other embodiments, the number of first fixtures 412 can be adaptively adjusted based on the production process of the lubricant distributor.

[0055] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the second conveying mechanism 430 includes a rotating part 431 and a second fixture 432. The second fixture 432 is adapted to carry a lubricating oil distributor. The second fixture 432 is connected to the rotating part 431 and is located on one side of the rotation axis of the rotating part 431.

[0056] In this embodiment, the rotating part 431 drives the lubricating oil distributor carried by the second fixture 432 to rotate, so that the screw holes 930 on both sides of the lubricating oil distributor can be rotated to correspond with the screw fastening mechanism 210. Using one screw fastening mechanism 210, screws can be driven into all the screw holes 930 on all surfaces of the lubricating oil distributor that are parallel to the rotation axis of the rotating part 431, effectively reducing the number of screw fastening mechanisms 210.

[0057] In this embodiment, the second conveying mechanism 430 further includes a slide module along the Y direction shown in the figure. The slide module is used to move and transport the rotating part 431 and the second fixture 432 along the Y direction.

[0058] In this embodiment, the rotating part 431 can be a component with a rotating function, such as a stepper motor or a servo motor.

[0059] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 4 As shown, the second conveying mechanism 430 also includes a pressure head 433, which is adapted to press against the lubricating oil distributor to fix the lubricating oil distributor to the second fixture 432. The pressure head 433 prevents the lubricating oil distributor from coming out of the second fixture 432 during rotation.

[0060] In other embodiments, the lubricant distributor and the second fixture 432 can also be fixed by means of negative pressure adsorption, magnetism, or telescopic snap-fit.

[0061] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the first conveying mechanism 410, the second conveying mechanism 430, and the airtightness detection mechanism 300 are arranged sequentially along the first direction (X direction in the figure). The handling mechanism 420 includes a first handling gripper 421, a second handling gripper 422, and a connecting plate 424. The first handling gripper 421 and the second handling gripper 422 are connected to the connecting plate 424, and the connecting plate 424 can reciprocate along the first direction. The first handling gripper 421 is connected to the first conveying mechanism 410 and the second conveying mechanism 430. The second handling gripper 422 is connected to the second conveying mechanism 430 and the airtightness detection mechanism 300.

[0062] In this embodiment, when the first transport gripper 421 transfers the lubricating oil distributor of the first conveying mechanism 410 to the second conveying mechanism 430, the second transport gripper 422 simultaneously transfers the lubricating oil distributor with screws installed on the second conveying mechanism 430 to the airtightness testing mechanism 300, effectively improving the operating efficiency of the lubricating oil distributor production equipment; and the first transport gripper 421 and the second transport gripper 422 are driven in unison by the connecting plate 424 to ensure the synchronicity of their movements.

[0063] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 5As shown, the lubricating oil distributor production equipment also includes a discharge module 500, which includes an NG unloading frame 510 and an OK unloading plate 520 arranged sequentially along the first direction. Screw detection components 530 are provided on both sides of the OK unloading plate 520.

[0064] In this embodiment, the lubricating oil distributors that fail the airtightness test by the airtightness testing mechanism 300 are transferred to the NG unloading frame 510, while the lubricating oil distributors that pass the test are transferred to the OK unloading plate 520 and slide down the plate surface. During the sliding process, the screw detection components 530 on both sides of the lubricating oil distributor test the screws in the screw holes 930 on both sides.

[0065] In this embodiment, the screw detection component 530 can be an infrared detection component, an ultrasonic detection component, a visual detection component, etc.

[0066] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 5 As shown, the conveying mechanism 420 also includes a third conveying gripper 423, which is connected to the connecting plate 424 and is connected to the airtightness detection mechanism 300 and the OK unloading plate 520.

[0067] In this embodiment, when the first transport gripper 421 transfers the lubricating oil distributor of the first conveying mechanism 410 to the second conveying mechanism 430, and the second transport gripper 422 transfers the lubricating oil distributor with screws tightened on the second conveying mechanism 430 to the airtightness testing mechanism 300, the third gripper simultaneously transfers the lubricating oil distributor that has been tested by the airtightness testing mechanism 300 to the OK unloading plate 520, effectively improving the operating efficiency of the lubricating oil distributor production equipment; and by setting an NG unloading frame 510 between the airtightness testing mechanism 300 and the OK unloading plate 520, during the transfer process, unqualified lubricating oil distributors can be directly released by the third transport gripper 423 and fall into the NG unloading frame 510 without the need for additional gripper transport, simplifying the structure and making control simple.

[0068] On the other hand, this utility model embodiment also provides a lubricating oil distributor production line, including the lubricating oil distributor production equipment as described above.

[0069] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
