A ball assembly device

Abstract

This utility model provides a bead assembly device, belonging to the field of bead assembly technology. It includes a mounting plate, on the upper surface of which a valve block fixture is fixedly connected. A pull-down assembly, an LED light, an alarm, and a valve block are also fixedly connected to the upper surface of the mounting plate. This utility model, by setting a cutting shell, allows silicon beads to be placed inside the cutting shell, with a cutting motor continuously driving the brush to rotate. The valve block is placed on the valve block fixture, and by pulling down the handle to the appropriate position, a pin is inserted into the limiting hole, positioning the drain tube downwards. The valve block fixture is then pressed against the upper left side, with the drain tube opening precisely on the valve block assembly recess. An infrared indicator shows the silicon bead's landing position. The operator presses the foot pedal of a counter, cutting the silicon bead. The silicon bead moves downwards through the pipe and falls into the valve block's assembly recess. Moving the valve block fixture aligns the valve block's assembly recess directly below the drain tube, completing the material output.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ball assembly technology, and in particular to a ball assembly device. Background Technology

[0002] Most valve block ball bearings are assembled manually, using tweezers to pick up 2.5mm diameter silicon carbide balls and place them into 3mm diameter grooves. This method requires highly skilled operators and results in poor assembly consistency. Due to the small size of the grooves, the smooth surface of the silicon carbide balls, and the fixed assembly quantity, assembly is difficult. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a slider ball bearing assembly structure to improve assembly accuracy and ensure assembly reliability and stability.

[0003] However, existing devices do not solve the problem that most valve block assembly balls are assembled manually, using tweezers to pick up 2.5-diameter silicon carbide balls and place them in a 3-diameter groove. The existing method requires high technical skills from the operator and the assembly results are inconsistent. Due to the small size of the groove and the smooth surface of the silicon carbide balls, as well as the fixed assembly quantity, the assembly is difficult. Therefore, this application provides a ball assembly device to meet the requirements. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a ball assembly device to solve the problem of repetitive and heavy workload for workers when manually picking up balls for assembly and applying lubricating grease.

A linear guide rail is installed on one side of the upper fixed plate, a T-shaped plate is installed on one side of the linear guide rail, a guide plate is fixedly connected to one side of the T-shaped plate, a positioning plate is fixedly connected to one side of the T-shaped plate, a pin is installed inside the positioning plate, a connecting plate is fixedly connected to one side of the linear guide rail, a linear bearing is fixedly connected inside the connecting plate, a linear shaft is slidably connected inside the linear bearing, a spring is sleeved on the surface of the linear shaft, a handle is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the spring, a drain tube is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the handle, and an infrared indicator is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the upper fixed plate.

[0008] Optionally, the upper fixing plate has a through hole located below the infrared indicator, and the upper fixing plate has a through pipe with one end connected to the through hole.

[0009] Optionally, the lower surface of the guide plate is provided with a connecting pipe, which is compatible with the drain pipe.

[0010] Optionally, a groove is provided on the lower surface of the handle, and the handle is fixedly connected to the linear shaft through the groove.

[0011] Optionally, the T-shaped plate is located on one side of the linear guide rail near the upper part, and the connecting plate is located on one side of the linear guide rail near the lower part.

[0012] Optionally, a limiting hole is provided on one side of the handle, and the handle is adapted to the pin through the limiting hole.

[0013] Optionally, the cutting mechanism includes a cutting housing, a cutting motor, a cutting cylinder, a cutting slider, a mounting block, a feeding block, and a discharge plate. The cutting motor is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the cutting housing, the mounting block is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the cutting housing, the cutting cylinder is fixedly connected to the interior of the mounting block, the discharge plate is fixedly connected to one end of the cutting cylinder, the cutting slider is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the discharge plate, and the feeding block is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the mounting block.

[0014] Optionally, the cutting shell, feeding block, cutting slider, and discharge plate are all provided with feeding holes inside.

[0015] Optionally, the cutting mechanism is located on the upper surface of the docking plate near the pull-down assembly, and the LED light is located on the upper surface of the docking plate away from the pull-down assembly.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0017] In the above solution, by setting up a cutting shell and placing the silicon beads inside, the cutting motor continuously drives the brush to rotate after the equipment is powered on. The valve block is placed on the valve block fixture, and the operator pulls the handle downwards until it reaches the appropriate position, then inserts the pin into the limiting hole to lock the handle. At this point, the drain tube is in the downward position. The valve block fixture is then pressed tightly against the upper left side, so that the drain tube opening is just above the valve block assembly recess. At the same time, an infrared indicator light shows the landing point of the silicon beads. Position: When the operator presses the foot pedal button on the counter, the cutting cylinder retracts, aligning the feeding port of the cutting housing, the feeding port of the feeding block, and the feeding port of the cutting slider. The silicon bead is positioned exactly in the middle of the cutting slider. When the cutting cylinder extends, the cutting slider carries the silicon bead out, aligning the feeding hole of the cutting slider with the feeding hole of the discharge plate. The silicon bead falls freely, completing the cutting action and thus cutting out a single silicon bead. The silicon bead moves downward through the pipeline, passes through the drain pipe, and falls into the assembly groove of the valve block. Moving the valve block fixture to the upper right and close to the stop block, the assembly groove of the valve block is now aligned with the bottom of the drain pipe. Pressing the foot pedal completes the material output of the cutting mechanism, thus completing the assembly of one notched silicon bead. Similarly, changing the closing direction of the valve block fixture allows for the assembly of valve blocks in four directions. After all the grooves are assembled, the pin is released, and the spring force causes the linear axis to move upward, returning to its initial state. This reduces the need for manual assembly of most valve block assembly balls, where tweezers are used to pick up 2.5-diameter silicon carbide beads and place them into the 3-diameter grooves. Existing methods require highly skilled operators and result in inconsistent assembly quality. Due to the small size of the grooves, the smooth surface of the silicon carbide beads, and the fixed assembly quantity, assembly is quite difficult. This equipment has been widely used in factory automation, replacing a large amount of heavy and repetitive manual work, reducing reliance on human labor in the production process, improving safety, reducing product variations due to differences in human skill levels, and ensuring standardized production processes.

[0031] like Figures 1-4As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides a ball bearing assembly device, including a mounting plate 1. A valve block fixture 2 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the mounting plate 1, and a pull-down assembly 3 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the mounting plate 1.

A connecting plate 310 is fixedly connected to one side of the linear guide rail 308. A T-shaped plate 302 is located near the upper part of one side of the linear guide rail 308. The connecting plate 310 is located near the lower part of one side of the linear guide rail 308. A linear bearing 312 is fixedly connected inside the connecting plate 310. A linear shaft 309 is slidably connected inside the linear bearing 312. A spring 307 is sleeved on the surface of the linear shaft 309. A handle 311 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the spring 307. A groove is formed on the lower surface of the handle 311. The handle 311 is fixedly connected to the linear shaft 309 through the groove. A drain pipe 306 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the handle 311. A limit hole is formed on one side of the handle 311. Hand 311 is adapted to pin 305 through limiting hole. A connecting pipe is provided on the lower surface of guide plate 303, and the connecting pipe is adapted to drain pipe 306. An infrared indicator 313 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of upper fixing plate 301. A through hole is opened inside upper fixing plate 301, located below infrared indicator 313. A through pipe is opened inside upper fixing plate 301, with one end of the through pipe connected to the through hole. A docking plate 4 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of mounting plate 1. A cutting mechanism 5 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of docking plate 4. The cutting mechanism 5 includes a cutting housing 501, a cutting motor 502, a cutting cylinder 503, a cutting slider 504, a mounting block 505, a feeding block 506, and a discharge plate 507. The upper surface of the cutting housing 501 is fixedly connected to... A cutting motor 502 is connected to the material cutting housing 501. A mounting block 505 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the material cutting housing 501. A cutting cylinder 503 is fixedly connected inside the mounting block 505. A discharge plate 507 is fixedly connected to one end of the cutting cylinder 503. A cutting slider 504 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the discharge plate 507. A feeding block 506 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the mounting block 505. Feeding holes are opened inside the material cutting housing 501, the feeding block 506, the cutting slider 504, and the discharge plate 507. An LED light 6 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the docking plate 4. The cutting mechanism 5 is located on the upper surface of the docking plate 4 near the pull-down assembly 3. The LED light 6 is located on the upper surface of the docking plate 4 away from the pull-down assembly 3. A counter 7 is fixedly connected inside the docking plate 4.An alarm 8 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of counter 7; a stop block 9 is installed on the upper surface of valve block fixture 2; and a valve block 10 is installed inside valve block fixture 2.

[0032] By placing the silicon bead inside the cutting housing 501, the cutting motor 502 is continuously driven after the equipment is powered on. It is worth noting that a brush is inserted into one end of the cutting motor 502, and the brush is located inside the cutting housing 501, causing the brush to rotate continuously. The valve block 10 is placed on the valve block fixture 2. The operator pulls the handle 311 downwards until it reaches the appropriate position, then inserts the pin 305 into the limiting hole to lock the handle 311. At this point, the drain tube 306 is in the downward position. The valve block fixture 2 is then pressed tightly against the upper left side, so that the opening of the drain tube 306 is just above the mounting recess of the valve block 10. Simultaneously, the infrared indicator 313 illuminates to indicate the silicon bead's landing position. It is worth noting that the counter 7 includes a foot pedal and a fiber optic sensor. When the operator presses the foot pedal button of the counter 7, the cutting cylinder 503 retracts, and the feeding port of the cutting housing 501, the feeding port of the feeding block 506, and the feeding port of the cutting slider 504 are aligned. The silicon bead is located in the middle of the cutting slider 504. When the cutting cylinder 503 extends, the cutting slider 504 carries the silicon bead out. The feeding hole of the cutting slider 504 is aligned with the feeding hole of the discharge plate 507, and the silicon bead falls freely, completing the cutting action. This allows the cutting mechanism 5 to cut out a single silicon bead. It is worth noting that the cutting mechanism 5 is connected to the drain pipe 306 in the pull-down assembly 3 by a pipeline, and the silicon bead can leak out from the lower end of the drain pipe 306. The silicon bead moves downward through the pipeline, passes through the drain pipe 306, and falls into the assembly groove of the valve block 10. Move valve block fixture 2 to the upper right, close to stop block 9. At this time, the assembly groove of valve block 10 is aligned directly below the drain pipe 306. Step on the foot pedal, and the cutting mechanism 5 completes the material output, thus completing the assembly of one notched silicon bead. Similarly, by changing the closing direction of valve block fixture 2, the groove assembly of valve block 10 in four directions can be completed. After all grooves are assembled, release pin 305. The elastic force generated by spring 307 causes linear shaft 309 to move upward, returning to the initial state. This reduces the need for manual assembly of most valve block 10 assembly balls, where tweezers are used to pick up 2.5-diameter silicon carbide beads and place them into grooves with a diameter of 3. The existing method requires high operator skill and results in poor consistency of assembly. Due to the small size of the grooves and the smooth surface of the silicon carbide beads, and the fixed assembly quantity, the equipment is widely used in factory automation. It replaces a large amount of heavy and repetitive manual work, reduces the dependence on people in the production process, improves the safety of the work process, reduces product differences caused by different levels of human skill, and ensures the standardization of the production process.

[0033] The working principle of the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows: Silicon beads are placed inside the cutting housing 501. After the equipment is powered on, the cutting motor 502 continuously drives the brush to rotate. The valve block 10 is placed on the valve block fixture 2. The operator pulls the handle 311 downwards until it reaches the appropriate position, then inserts the pin 305 into the limiting hole to lock the handle 311. At this time, the drain tube 306 is in the downward position. The valve block fixture 2 is then pressed tightly against the upper left side, so that the opening of the drain tube 306 is just above the assembly recess of the valve block 10. Simultaneously, the infrared indicator 313 illuminates to indicate the location of the silicon bead landing point. When the operator presses the foot pedal button on counter 7, the cutting cylinder 503 retracts, aligning the feeding port of the cutting housing 501, the feeding port of the feeding block 506, and the feeding port of the cutting slider 504. The silicon bead is positioned in the middle of the cutting slider 504. When the cutting cylinder 503 extends, the cutting slider 504 carries the silicon bead out, aligning the feeding hole of the cutting slider 504 with the feeding hole of the discharge plate 507. The silicon bead falls freely, completing the cutting action, thus cutting out a single silicon bead by the cutting mechanism 5. The silicon bead moves downward through the pipeline, passes through the drain pipe 306, and falls into the assembly groove of the valve block 10. The valve block fixture 2 is moved to the upper right, close to the stop block 9. At this time, the assembly groove of the valve block 10 is aligned directly below the drain pipe 306. The foot pedal button is pressed, and the cutting mechanism 5 completes the material discharge, thus completing the assembly of a notched silicon bead. Similarly, by changing the clamping direction of valve block fixture 2, the groove assembly of valve block 10 in all four directions can be completed. After all grooves are assembled, release pin 305, and the elastic force generated by spring 307 will cause linear shaft 309 to move upward, returning to the initial state.

To provide the public with a thorough understanding of this utility model, specific details are described in detail in the following preferred embodiments; however, those skilled in the art will fully understand this utility model even without these detailed descriptions. Furthermore, to avoid unnecessary confusion regarding the essence of this utility model, well-known methods, processes, procedures, components, and circuits are not described in detail.

[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
