Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of carabiner processing technology, and in particular to an automatic carabiner spring inserting mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] A carabiner is a metal buckle used in outdoor sports and adventure activities for quickly connecting and disconnecting ropes, harnesses, equipment, and other items. It is usually made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant metal and has an opening and closing gate. An elastic force provided by a built-in spring bar assists in opening and closing, allowing users to operate it with one hand even with gloves on, ensuring the stability and safety of equipment in extreme environments such as rock climbing and mountaineering.

[0003] In the current carabiner assembly process, accurately installing the spring clip inside the carabiner is a highly technical operation. This step usually involves the operator manually prying up the spring bar with a specific tool to provide the necessary space for the spring clip insertion. After the spring clip is correctly placed inside the spring bar, the operator also needs to apply a pressing action to ensure that the spring bar and the spring clip can fit tightly to complete the assembly. However, this process is not only complicated to operate, but also often leads to low assembly efficiency and difficulty in guaranteeing the assembly effect due to the need for the coordinated operation of multiple mechanical parts, resulting in a certain risk of quality fluctuation. Utility Model Content

[0004] One objective of this invention is to provide an automatic carabiner spring inserting mechanism. This invention addresses the problems mentioned in the background above, such as the complex operation of traditional carabiner spring inserting processes, which often result in low assembly efficiency and difficulty in guaranteeing assembly quality due to the need for the coordinated operation of multiple mechanical parts, thus posing a certain risk of quality fluctuations.

[0005] An automatic carabiner spring loading mechanism according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a carabiner fixture mounted on the surface of a conveyor belt for assembling and processing a carabiner structure, a pressure block for prying up one end of a spring structure, and a push block for pressing and assembling the spring structure toward the carabiner structure. The push block is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of a push cylinder and is used to press and push the movable block inside the carabiner fixture toward the other side. A lifting cylinder is fixedly connected to one side of the push cylinder, and the pressure block is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the lifting cylinder. The carabiner fixture has a carabiner structure and a spring structure respectively engaged on its surface, and the spring structure is mounted on the upper surface of the movable block.

[0006] Preferably, the pressure block is positioned above the spring rod structure, and when the pressure block moves downward, it pries up the other end of the spring rod structure to facilitate the installation of the spring piece.

[0007] Preferably, a platform is provided on one side of the carabiner tool, and the platform is fixedly connected to the ground by a bracket.

[0008] Preferably, a translation cylinder is fixedly connected to one side of the platform surface, a slide rail is fixedly connected to one side of the platform, and a translation mechanism is slidably connected to the surface of the slide rail.

[0009] Preferably, the translation mechanism is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the translation cylinder.

[0010] Preferably, a drive motor is fixedly connected to one side of the translation mechanism, and an output shaft is driven to the output end of the drive motor, with a drive belt provided on the surface of the output shaft.

[0011] Preferably, a multi-angle steering mechanism is installed at the end of the transmission belt away from the output shaft to enable multi-angle movement of the mechanical claw and spring structure.

[0012] Preferably, the lower end of the multi-angle steering mechanism is fixedly connected to a mechanical claw, and the spring structure is disposed on the inner side of the mechanical claw.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] This invention utilizes a lifting cylinder and a pushing cylinder. After the spring rod and carabiner are installed inside the carabiner fixture, the shortening of the lifting cylinder causes the pressure block to press downwards. The pressure block presses one end of the spring rod structure, causing the other end of the spring rod structure to be pried up. Then, a multi-angle steering structure drives a mechanical claw to install the clamped spring piece structure inside the spring rod structure. Subsequently, the pushing cylinder pushes the movable block inside the fixture to one side, causing the spring rod structure with the spring piece structure to be pressed and assembled towards the carabiner structure. This achieves automated assembly of the spring piece structure, greatly simplifies the assembly process, improves production efficiency, and ensures the accuracy and stability of the assembly.

[0015] This invention utilizes a structure including a translation cylinder and a drive motor. The translation cylinder drives the drive motor to slide back and forth on the platform surface, facilitating the mechanical gripper, which is mounted on a multi-angle steering mechanism connected to the lower part of the drive motor's output shaft, to pick up the spring structure from one workstation and move it to the next for assembly. This achieves precise movement of the mechanical gripper between multiple workstations and continuous picking and placing of the spring structure, significantly improving the automation level and operational flexibility of the assembly line, greatly increasing production efficiency and reducing human error.

[0021] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the present invention.

[0022] refer to Figure 1-3 An automatic carabiner spring loading mechanism includes a carabiner fixture 12 mounted on a conveyor belt for assembling a carabiner structure 13, a pressure block 16 for prying up one end of a spring structure 14, and a push block 18 for pressing the spring structure 14 toward the carabiner structure 13. The push block 18 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of a push cylinder 17 and is used to press and push the movable block inside the carabiner fixture 12 toward the other side. A lifting cylinder 15 is fixedly connected to one side of the push cylinder 17, and the pressure block 16 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the lifting cylinder 15. The carabiner fixture 12 has a carabiner structure 13 and a spring structure 14 respectively engaged on its surface. The spring structure 14 is mounted on... On the upper surface of the movable block, after the spring rod and carabiner are installed inside the carabiner fixture 12, the shortening of the lifting cylinder 15 causes the pressure block 16 to press downwards. The pressure block 16 presses one end of the spring rod structure 14, causing the other end of the spring rod structure 14 to be pried up. Then, the multi-angle steering structure drives the mechanical claw 10 to install the clamped spring piece structure 11 into the interior of the spring rod structure 14. Subsequently, the pushing cylinder 17 pushes the movable block inside the fixture to one side, causing the spring rod structure 14 with the spring piece structure 11 to be pressed and assembled towards the carabiner structure 13. This realizes the automated assembly of the spring piece structure 11, greatly simplifies the assembly process, improves production efficiency, and ensures the accuracy and stability of the assembly.

[0023] Example 1: The pressure block 16 is located above the spring rod structure 14. When the pressure block 16 moves downward, it pries up the other end of the spring rod structure 14 to facilitate the installation of the spring piece. A platform 3 is provided on one side of the carabiner fixture 12. The platform 3 is fixedly connected to the ground by the bracket 1.

[0024] Example 2: A translation cylinder 2 is fixedly connected to one side of the surface of platform 3, and a slide rail 4 is fixedly connected to one side of platform 3. A translation mechanism 5 is slidably connected to the surface of the slide rail 4. The translation mechanism 5 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the translation cylinder 2. A drive motor 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the translation mechanism 5. An output shaft 7 is driven to the output end of the drive motor 6. A transmission belt 8 is provided on the surface of the output shaft 7. A multi-angle steering mechanism 9 is installed at the end of the transmission belt 8 away from the output shaft 7 to realize multi-angle movement of the mechanical claw 10 and the spring structure 11. A mechanical... The claw 10 and the spring structure 11 are located on the inner side of the mechanical claw 10. The translation cylinder 2 drives the drive motor 6 to slide back and forth on the surface of the platform 3. This facilitates the mechanical claw 10, which is installed under the multi-angle steering mechanism 9 connected to the lower part of the output shaft 7 of the drive motor 6, to pick up the spring structure 11 from the previous station and move it to the next station for assembly. This realizes the precise movement of the mechanical claw 10 between multiple stations and the continuous picking and placing of the spring structure 11, which greatly improves the automation level and operational flexibility of the assembly line, significantly improves production efficiency and reduces human error.

[0025] In use, firstly, the carabiner structure 13 and the spring rod structure 14 are respectively engaged and connected to the surface of the carabiner fixture 12. The spring rod structure 14 is installed on the upper surface of the movable block. After the spring rod and carabiner are inserted into the carabiner fixture 12, the lifting cylinder 15 is activated, causing the pressure block 16 to move downward and squeeze one end of the spring rod structure 14, thereby prying up the other end of the spring rod structure 14 to create space for the spring clip installation. Next, the multi-angle steering mechanism 9 drives the mechanical claw 10 fixed at its lower end to accurately insert the gripped spring clip structure 11 into the interior of the spring rod structure 14. Subsequently, the push cylinder 17 is activated, pushing the push block 18 fixed at its telescopic end, causing the movable block inside the fixture to push to one side. Then, the spring rod structure 14 with the spring piece structure 11 is squeezed and assembled towards the carabiner structure 13, completing the automated assembly of the spring piece structure 11. With the assistance of the platform 3, a translation cylinder 2 is installed on one side of the platform 3, which is fixed to the ground by the bracket 1. The drive motor 6 slides back and forth on the slide rail 4 through the translation mechanism 5, driving the mechanical claw 10 under the multi-angle steering mechanism 9 to grab the spring piece structure 11 from the previous station and move it to the next station for assembly. This realizes the precise movement of the mechanical claw 10 between multiple stations and the continuous grabbing and placement of the spring piece structure 11, which greatly improves the automation level and operational flexibility of the assembly line, significantly improves production efficiency and reduces human error.
