Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of steering gear bearing processing equipment, and in particular relates to a bending device for steering gear bearing connecting sleeve. Background Technology
[0002] Steering gear bearings are precision mechanical components in automotive steering systems used to support the rotation of the steering shaft (or gear mechanism). In existing agricultural machinery, steering gear bearings mostly use V-groove bearings. The two inner rings of a V-groove bearing need to be connected by a connecting sleeve. Current connecting sleeves are made from thin plates (steel plates) that have been cut, folded, and bent. In the existing bending process, the folded strips are mainly bent manually using manual bending equipment. While this method can achieve the bending work, it is inefficient and labor-intensive. Utility Model Content
[0003] This utility model addresses the technical problems of high labor intensity and low efficiency in the existing bending process of connecting sleeves by proposing a bending device for steering gear bearing connecting sleeves that is reasonably designed, simple in structure, and capable of semi-automatic bending.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: This utility model provides a bending ring device for a steering gear bearing connecting sleeve, including a frame and a rotating seat rotatably mounted on the frame. A bending ring column is provided on the rotating seat, and the bending ring column is coaxially arranged with the rotating seat. A long strip conveyor seat is also provided on one side of the rotating seat. The long strip conveyor seat is located around the bending ring column and is fixed to the frame. A conveying hole is provided on the long strip conveyor seat, extending through the long strip conveyor seat from front to back. The outer periphery of the bending ring column is further... A long strip conveying mechanism and an auxiliary bending mechanism are sequentially arranged. The long strip conveying mechanism includes a conveying seat slidably mounted on a frame and a drive seat located at the front end of the conveying seat. The drive seat is C-shaped and has two spaced-apart conveying wheels, which are rotatably mounted on the drive seat. The auxiliary bending mechanism includes a bending seat slidably mounted on a frame. The bending seat is C-shaped and has two spaced-apart bending wheels. The sidewalls of the bending wheels have bending grooves that are annular in shape.
[0005] Preferably, the conveyor seat is also provided with a drive motor, the power end of the drive motor is provided with a drive gear, the center of the conveyor wheel is fitted with a rotating shaft, the rotating shaft is fitted with a driven gear, the driven gears on the two conveyor wheels are meshed, and the drive gear is meshed with either of the driven gears.
[0006] Preferably, both the conveyor seat and the bending seat are slidably mounted on the frame via a sliding mechanism. The sliding mechanism includes a sliding cylinder mounted on the frame and a guide rail mounted on the power end of the sliding cylinder. The conveyor seat or the bending seat is fixed on the guide rail, and the frame is provided with a slider that cooperates with the guide rail.
[0007] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0008] This utility model provides a bending device for a steering gear bearing connecting sleeve. By adding a long strip conveying mechanism and an auxiliary bending mechanism to the periphery of the bending column, the worker only needs to convey the bent long strip to the outside of the bending column through the conveying hole. Then, the automatic bending of the steering gear bearing connecting sleeve can be achieved through the automatic operation of the long strip conveying mechanism and the auxiliary bending mechanism, thereby reducing the labor intensity of the workers and improving work efficiency.

[0015] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0016] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.
[0017] Example 1, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment aims to improve production efficiency in the bending process of connecting sleeves and reduce the labor intensity of workers. Therefore, this embodiment provides a bending device for steering gear bearing connecting sleeves, including a frame 1 and a rotating seat 11 rotatably mounted on the frame 1. In this embodiment, the frame 1 includes a worktable and support legs located at the bottom of the worktable. The rotating seat 11 is located in the middle of the worktable. A motor is located at the bottom of the worktable, and the rotating seat 11 is connected to the power end of the motor, enabling the rotating seat 11 to be rotatably mounted on the frame 1. A bending column 12 is provided on the rotating seat 11. The bending column 12 is a cylindrical section, and its height is sufficient to allow the bent edge of the long strip to contact the top and bottom surfaces of the bending column 12. To ensure that the position of the bending column 12 relative to the frame 1 does not move, the bending column 12 and the rotating seat 11 are coaxially arranged.
[0018] To facilitate the transport of long strips, a long strip conveyor seat 2113 is provided on one side of the rotating seat 11. The long strip conveyor seat 2113 is generally rectangular in shape. To facilitate the transport of long strips, the end of the long strip conveyor seat 2113 near the bending column 12 is triangular. Since the long strip conveyor seat 2113 does not need to move, it is located on the periphery of the bending column 12 and fixed to the frame 1. The long strip conveyor seat 2113 is provided with a conveying hole 131, which extends through the long strip conveyor seat 2113 from front to back. In this way, the operator can hold the long strip and transport it to the outer wall of the bending column 12 through the conveying hole 131.
[0019] In order to achieve automatic bending, in this embodiment, a long strip conveying mechanism 2 and an auxiliary bending mechanism 3 are arranged sequentially around the bending column 12 along the rotation direction of the bending column 12. It should be noted that the long strip conveying mechanism 2 and the auxiliary bending mechanism 3 are both set at an inclined angle relative to the bending column 12. Therefore, the frame 1 is also set in a V-shape when viewed from above.
[0020] In this embodiment, the long strip conveying mechanism 2 is used to grab the long strip passing through the conveying hole 131 and make it rotate on the bending column 12. For this purpose, the long strip conveying mechanism 2 includes a conveying seat 21 slidably disposed on the frame 1 and a drive seat 22 disposed at the front end of the conveying seat 21. In this embodiment, the conveying seat 21 is L-shaped, and the drive seat 22 is disposed at the end of the conveying seat 21 near the bending column 12. The drive seat 22 is C-shaped, and two conveying wheels 23 are disposed on the drive seat 22 at intervals. The interval between the conveying wheels 23 is small enough to prevent them from contacting each other. The conveying wheels 23 are rotatably disposed on the drive seat 22. In this embodiment, a drive motor 25 is also disposed on the conveying seat 21. The power end of the drive motor 25 is provided with a drive gear (not shown in the figure). A rotating shaft 231 is mounted on the center of the conveying wheel 23, and a driven gear 24 is mounted on the rotating shaft 231. The driven gears 24 on the two conveying wheels 23 are meshed, and the drive gear is meshed with either of the driven gears 24.
[0021] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the drive gear meshes with the driven gear on the side away from the bend column 12. Since the driven gears 24 of the two conveyor wheels 23 mesh, the two conveyor wheels 23 rotate in opposite directions, one clockwise and the other counterclockwise. In this embodiment, the outer conveyor wheel 23 rotates clockwise. At this time, the distance the long strip extends past the long strip conveyor seat 2113 should be such that the outer conveyor wheel 23 contacts it, while the inner conveyor wheel 23 does not contact it. Furthermore, the inner conveyor wheel 23 does not participate in the operation; it is only set up to ensure the stability of the structure.
[0022] The conveyor wheel 23 has both conveying and partial bending functions. The long strip conveyed by the conveyor wheel 23 rotates to the auxiliary bending mechanism 3. The auxiliary bending mechanism 3 works in conjunction with the bending column 12 to perform bending. Therefore, the auxiliary bending mechanism 3 includes a bending seat 31 slidably mounted on the frame 1. The bending seat 31 is also C-shaped. Two spaced-apart bending wheels 32 are mounted on the bending seat 31, with the distance between the two bending wheels 32 being sufficient to prevent friction. To ensure the stability of the bent edge of the long strip, in this embodiment, a bending groove 321 is provided on the side wall of the bending wheel 32. The bending groove 321 is annular. That is, the side wall of the bending wheel 32 is also C-shaped.
[0023] With the above setup, the motor first drives the bending column 12 to rotate. At this time, the worker pushes the long strip from the conveying hole 131 to the bottom. At this time, about one-third of the long strip should be at the position of the outer conveying wheel 23. Then, the conveying seat 21 and the bending seat 31 slide towards the bending column 12. At this time, the outer conveying wheel 23 contacts the long strip and bends the end of the long strip so that it fits against the bending column 12. Due to the rotation of the bending column 12 and the conveying wheel 23, the long strip is driven to rotate. After the bending wheel 32 cooperates with the bending column 12, the connecting strip is bent into a near-circular shape (not a complete circle, but with an opening). Then, the conveying seat 21 and the bending seat 31 slide in the opposite direction of the bending column 12. The worker can then remove the connecting sleeve and proceed to the next long strip bending.
[0024] To facilitate the sliding of the conveyor seat 21 and the bend seat 31, in this embodiment, both the conveyor seat 21 and the bend seat 31 are slidably mounted on the frame 1 via a sliding mechanism 4. Specifically, the sliding mechanism 4 includes a sliding cylinder 41 mounted on the frame 1 and a guide rail 42 mounted on the power end of the sliding cylinder 41. The conveyor seat 21 or the bend seat 31 is fixed to the guide rail 42, and a slider 43 that cooperates with the guide rail 42 is provided on the frame 1. Of course, in this embodiment, the slider 43 is fixedly mounted on the frame 1.
[0025] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
