Detailed Implementation

[0026] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] Example 1:

[0028] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 A positioning device for an adapter sleeve with a ceramic rod inserting into a pin includes a double-discharge track 1. Ceramic rods 2 are slidably connected to both sides of the double-discharge track 1. A first cylinder 4 is fixedly installed on one side of the double-discharge track 1, and a receiving tray 3 that works with the ceramic rod 2 is bolted to the output end of the first cylinder 4. A second cylinder 5 is fixedly installed on the other side of the double-discharge track 1, and a ceramic rod ejector pin 6 that is slidably inserted through and into the pin 7 is bolted to the output end of the second cylinder 5. Through high-precision sensors and a machine vision system, automatic identification and parameter adjustment of adapter sleeves of different specifications are achieved. The pin opening accuracy reaches ±0.05mm, and the ceramic rod inserting into the pin accuracy reaches ±0.02mm, achieving high precision. The adaptive assembly process supports the production of adapter sleeves of various specifications, reducing production line changeover time and improving flexibility. By employing high-elasticity alloy steel clips and high-strength alumina ceramic rods respectively, fatigue, deformation, or damage that may occur during long-term use are reduced. This ensures durability while maintaining good elasticity, making it suitable for high-frequency use. Furthermore, the ceramic rods not only maintain stable physical properties during insertion but also possess higher compressive strength, thereby enhancing the overall strength of the adapter sleeve.

[0029] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 A pin 7 is fixedly installed on the side of the receiving tray 3 away from the ceramic rod ejector pin 6. A third cylinder 9 is located on the side of the pin 7 away from the receiving tray 3. An assembly housing 8 is bolted to the output end of the third cylinder 9 near the pin 7. Adapter sleeves 11 are installed on both sides inside the assembly housing 8. A wedge-shaped groove 10 is opened at the end of the pin 7 near the adapter sleeve 11. Through an intelligent detection system and high-precision sensors, the mechanical parameters and position information during the assembly process are monitored in real time to ensure that the product meets high-standard quality requirements.

[0030] refer to Figure 1 Vision sensors 13 are fixedly installed on both ends of the receiving tray 3, near the dual discharge rails 1 and pins 7 respectively. High-precision sensors and machine vision systems are introduced to achieve automatic identification and parameter adjustment of adapter sleeves of different specifications. For example, an XTDIC-FLC type vision sensor is used for non-contact full-field strain measurement, which can monitor the deformation and displacement of ceramic rods in real time during the assembly process through digital speckle technology, meeting the high-precision positioning requirements in precision assembly.

[0031] refer to Figure 1A laser measuring instrument 12 is fixedly installed on the side of the pin 7 away from the first cylinder 4. Laser measurement is used to optimize the clamping force through mechanical simulation, ensuring a uniform distribution of the opening force. For example, an Ophir L50(150)A-LP2-35 laser measuring instrument is used, equipped with an LP2 high damage threshold coating, covering a spectral range of 0.25–2.2μm, supporting continuous power measurement of 100mW–50W and pulse energy detection of 40mJ–3000J, suitable for real-time feedback of laser calibration parameters during assembly.

[0032] refer to Figure 1 A linear guide rail 15 is fixedly installed on the side of the assembly housing 8 away from the pin 7. A slide table 14 is slidably connected inside the linear guide rail 15. The side of the third cylinder 9 away from the assembly housing 8 is bolted to the slide table 14. Moving the adapter sleeve to the assembly station allows the snap-fit ​​to open the pin and push the ceramic rod into the pin.

[0033] refer to Figure 2 Inside the assembly housing 8, on the side away from the pin 7, a pressure sensor 16 is attached for use with the adapter sleeve 11. This sensor is used to monitor key parameters during the assembly process in real time and provide automatic feedback. For example, a small ICP pressure sensor with a quartz element is used, featuring a fast response rise time ≤2 microseconds and a high resonant frequency ≥250kHz, enabling dynamic pressure monitoring.

[0034] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 The adapter sleeve 11 is made of high-elasticity alloy steel, the ceramic rod 2 is made of high-strength alumina ceramic material, and the pin 7 is made of high-conductivity copper alloy material. The high-elasticity alloy steel buckle provides excellent elasticity and durability; the high-strength alumina ceramic rod provides high hardness and compressive strength.

[0035] Brief description of the process: Prepare high-elasticity alloy steel clips, high-strength alumina ceramic rods, and high-conductivity copper alloy pins. Use automated equipment to install the clips into the adapter sleeve, ensuring precise alignment between the clips and pins through laser measurement and vision inspection systems. The ceramic rods 2 are conveyed to the receiving tray 3 via a dual-discharge track 1. Then, the first cylinder 4 pushes the ceramic rods 2 from the receiving tray 3 between the pins 7 and the ceramic rod ejector pin 6. Next, the second cylinder 5 pushes the ceramic rods 2 from the receiving tray 3 into the pins 7. Simultaneously, the third cylinder 9 pushes the assembly housing 8 into the other end of the pins 7. The wedge-shaped groove 10 of the pins 7 opens the adapter sleeve 11, allowing the ceramic rod ejector pin 6 to smoothly push the ceramic rods 2 through the pins 7 into the adapter sleeve 11, completing the assembly. Precision sensors monitor the insertion angle, depth, and torque in real time. An intelligent detection system performs real-time inspection of the assembled product, including key parameters such as the contact stability between the clips and pins and the insertion depth of the ceramic rods.
