Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automatic sleeve selector technology, and in particular to an automatic sleeve selector. Background Technology

[0002] An automatic sleeve selector is an intelligent tool that uses sensors to identify workpiece dimensions and automatically match the optimal sleeve size, enabling fast and accurate sleeve replacement. It is widely used in mechanical assembly, automotive repair and other fields, significantly improving work efficiency and reducing human error.

[0003] Chinese patent CN222472346U discloses an automatic sleeve selector, which relates to the field of sleeve selector technology. The patent includes a housing body with five storage slots on its upper surface. Each storage slot contains a placement rod and an ejector assembly. An alarm and a sensor are mounted on the upper surface of the housing body. A control panel and a prompting assembly are mounted on the front of the housing body. The control panel receives a signal from an identification device to identify the nut type. This signal is then converted into an electrical signal, which opens two electrically operated telescopic rods at the lower end of the corresponding sleeve body. This causes the placement plate to extend upwards, thereby ejecting the corresponding sleeve body upwards. This allows for the rapid acquisition of the correct sleeve body, solving the problem of errors caused by manual visual selection of screwdriver sleeves, which leads to unusable parts, reduced production efficiency, and compromised production quality.

[0004] In existing technologies, sleeve selectors require clamping the sleeve during use. However, existing sleeve clamping devices are all asymmetrical in structure, which can easily lead to sleeve tilting and tipping during clamping. Utility Model Content

[0024] Example 1: Refer to Figure 1 - Figure 4 An automatic sleeve selector includes a sleeve 1, which is the component to be clamped by the device, and further includes:

[0025] A stabilizing clamping assembly 2 includes a top plate 4. Clamping claws 5 are fixedly installed around the periphery of the top plate 4. An array of clamping claws 5 is installed around the periphery of the top plate 4 to achieve the clamping effect on the components. A cylinder 6 pushes a clamping pad 8 back and forth via a rod 7 at its end, thereby achieving the positioning and clamping effect of the sleeve 1. A cylinder 6 is located on one side of each clamping claw 5, and a rod 7 is located at the output end of the cylinder 6. A clamping pad 8 is located on one side of the rod 7.

[0026] The automatic sleeve selector has a J-shaped jaw 5, and the jaw array is arranged around the top plate 4. Because the jaw array is arranged around the top plate 4, the stability of the device during the clamping process is ensured.

[0027] The automatic sleeve selector described above includes a size detector 9 mounted on one side of the top plate 4. The size detector 9 is used to detect the size of the sleeve 1 before clamping, thereby achieving a stable clamping effect on the sleeve 1. The size detector 9 is mounted directly above the sleeve 1.

[0028] The automatic sleeve selector further includes:

[0029] An external support 3 includes a support rod 11 fixedly installed on one side of the top plate 4. A flange 12 installed on one side of the support rod 11 is fixedly installed through mounting screw holes 13 on the top. The flange 12 is fixedly installed on one side of the support rod 11, and the flange 12 is provided with an array of mounting screw holes 13.

[0030] In the aforementioned automatic sleeve selector, a PLC controller 10 is fixedly installed between the top plate 4 and the flange 12. The main function of the PLC controller 10 is to achieve centralized control, thereby automating the device. The PLC controller 10 is interconnected with the surrounding cylinders 6.

[0031] The automatic sleeve selector is described above, wherein the clamping pad 8 is clamped and installed around the sleeve 1. The clamping pad 8 is made of a soft elastic material, which can increase the clamping effect of the clamping pad 8 on the sleeve 1.

[0032] The automatic sleeve selector, wherein the stabilizing clamping assembly 2 is arranged in an array around the sleeve 1.

[0033] Working principle:

[0034] In the actual design process, this utility model addresses the following defects in the prior art: "In the prior art, the sleeve selector needs to clamp the sleeve during use. However, the existing sleeve clamping devices are all asymmetrical structures, which can easily lead to the sleeve tilting and tipping over during clamping." Therefore, a stable clamping component 2 and an external support 3 are specifically proposed.

[0035] Stable clamping component 2:

[0036] During use, the stable clamping assembly 2 first uses a dimensional measuring instrument 9 to measure the actual size of the sleeve 1. The cylinder 6, mounted on the peripheral jaws 5 of the top plate 4, controls the clamping pads 8 to clamp the sleeve 1 via the end rods 7, thus achieving the clamping effect. Because the clamping positions of the peripheral clamping pads 8 are arranged in an array around the periphery of the top plate 4, this device can ensure clamping stability during actual clamping. Furthermore, the motion mechanisms of this device are controlled by a PLC controller 10, enabling the device to achieve automatic clamping control.

[0037] External bracket 3:

[0038] The external support 3 is a component of this device that is installed on the frame, including a top plate 4 for installing the bottom clamping component; and a flange 12 fixedly installed on the top plate 4 by a support rod 11. The flange 12 can be installed through the mounting screw holes 13 on its surface.

[0039] In existing technologies, sleeve selectors require clamping the sleeve during use. However, existing sleeve clamping devices are all asymmetrical in structure, which can easily lead to sleeve tilting and tipping during clamping. This invention addresses this issue with a stable clamping component. During use, this component utilizes claws arrayed at the bottom of the top plate. A clamping pad on the end rod of the claws, controlled by a cylinder, clamps the sleeve, achieving a clamping effect. This clamping device avoids the tipping problem caused by single-sided clamping.
