[0002] Bushings, also known as gaskets or sleeves, are common industrial accessories typically used in mechanical equipment as isolation or protective elements between components. The main functions of bushings include reducing friction, bearing loads, preventing direct contact between parts, providing vibration damping, and offering corrosion protection. As an important industrial accessory, bushings play a crucial role in various machines and equipment.
[0003] There are several ways to connect bushings to equipment: press-fit, nut fixing, screw fixing, riveting, movable bushing connection, threaded bushing connection, etc. Among them, press-fit bushings are accessories that are fixed to equipment by mechanical extrusion. Press-fit bushings can effectively reduce friction, bear load, prevent direct contact between parts, and provide shock absorption and corrosion protection. They are widely used in a variety of industrial and mechanical fields.
[0004] In existing technologies, in most cases, hydraulic or stamping methods are used to squeeze and fix the bushing to the equipment, so that the bushing is evenly stressed and connected to the equipment. However, before stamping, the operator needs to place the bushing in the corresponding position and adjust the correct orientation of the bushing. This makes the entire bushing stamping process cumbersome, time-consuming and labor-intensive, affecting the fixing effect of the bushing. Utility Model Content

[0041] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
[0042] The specific implementation of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0043] like Figure 1 The diagram shown is a structural diagram of a bushing positioning device provided in an embodiment of the present invention. It includes a feeding assembly 1, comprising a feeding pipe 14, a placement groove 1111, a limiting member 16, and a first power member 15. The feeding pipe 14 is used to feed the bushing onto the placement groove 1111. The limiting member 16 and the feeding pipe 14 are located on opposite sides of the placement groove 1111. The limiting member 16 is used to restrict the movement of the bushing entering the rotating frame from the feeding pipe 14. The first power member 15 is used to push the bushing on the placement groove 1111 to the rotating position.
[0044] Rotating component 13, the rotating component 13 being used to drive the bushing to rotate in order to adjust the orientation of the bushing;
[0045] Detection component 12, which is used to detect the orientation of the bushing.
[0046] In this embodiment of the present invention, preferably, the bushing positioning device is mainly used to transport the bushing to the placement groove 1111 by the feeding pipe 14 in the feeding assembly 1 before the bushing completes the stamping process and is installed on the product 5. The placement groove 1111 is used to place the bushing, and a limiting member 16 is installed on the side of the placement groove 1111 opposite to the side where the feeding pipe 14 is located. The limiting member 16 restricts the movement stroke of the bushing when the feeding pipe 14 transports the bushing, and pushes the bushing on the placement groove 1111 by the first power member 15, so that the bushing moves to the rotation position, and is then moved by the rotating assembly 1. 3. The bushing on the placement slot 1111 is rotated to meet the installation requirements. The detection component 12 is used to detect the orientation of the bushing. When the bushing rotates and the orientation meets the installation requirements, it facilitates the operation of the next process. When the orientation of the bushing does not meet the installation requirements, the rotating component 13 continues to drive the bushing to rotate until the detection component 12 detects that the orientation is accurate. Then the clamping component 32 clamps the bushing to install the bushing on the product 5. The orientation of the bushing is detected in advance to avoid the bushing's installation effect being affected by incorrect orientation and to simplify the operation steps, saving time and effort.
[0047] In one embodiment of this utility model, a feeding assembly 1 is provided to convey the bushing, and a feeding pipe 14 is installed on one side of the placement groove 1111. The feeding pipe 14 conveys the bushing to the placement groove 1111. A limiting member 16 restricts the movement of the bushing from being conveyed to the placement groove 1111 by the feeding pipe 14. Then, the first power member 15 pushes the bushing on the placement groove 1111 to the rotation position so that the rotation assembly 13 can drive the bushing to rotate, thereby adjusting the orientation of the bushing. A detection assembly 12 is provided to detect the orientation of the bushing after rotation. The detection assembly 12 detects whether the orientation of the bushing after rotation meets the installation requirements, thereby improving the accuracy of the bushing installation effect and avoiding affecting the fixing effect of the bushing. At the same time, it simplifies the stamping operation steps, saving time and effort.
[0048] like Figure 1-2 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the bushing positioning device further includes a mounting bracket 11, which is used to mount a first driving member 113. The output end of the first driving member 113 is connected to the rotating assembly 13 in a transmission manner. The first driving member 113 is used to drive the rotating assembly 13 to move so that the bushing on the rotating position moves to the detection position of the detection assembly 12.
[0049] The placement slot 1111 is mounted on the mounting bracket 11;
[0050] The first power component 15 is mounted on the mounting bracket 11. The first power component 15 is provided with a push block 151. The push block 151 is located in the placement groove 1111. The output end of the first power component 15 is connected to the push block 151 so as to drive the push block 151 to move and push the bushing to the rotation position.
[0051] The limiting member 16 is an L-shaped plate. A positioning plate 18 is provided on the side of the placement groove 1111. The limiting member 16 is rotatably mounted on the positioning plate 18. A torsion spring is provided on the rotating shaft of the limiting member 16. Under the action of the torsion spring, one end of the L-shaped plate is located at the connection between the placement groove 1111 and the feeding pipe 14, close to the rotating position, to block the bushing output from the feeding pipe 14 from moving towards the rotating position. The first power member 15 pushes the bushing to make the limiting member 16 swing to avoid the bushing, thereby conveying the bushing to the rotating position.
[0052] In this embodiment of the present invention, preferably, the feeding assembly 1 further includes a mounting bracket 11 and a limiting member 16. The mounting bracket 11, used for mounting the placement groove 1111, the feeding pipe 14, the first power component 15, and the limiting member 16, mainly includes a first mounting plate 133111 and a second mounting plate 133112. The bottom surface of the first mounting plate 133111 is connected to the second mounting plate 133112. The length direction of the second mounting plate 133112 is perpendicular to the length direction of the second mounting plate 133112. One side of the second mounting plate 133112 is connected to the first connecting member of the drive assembly 31. The first mounting plate 133111 is connected to the second mounting plate 133112. The top surface of the first mounting plate 133111 is provided with a placement groove 1111 of a certain length to facilitate the placement of the bushing. A push rod can also be provided to push the bushing on the placement groove 1111 so that it is located on the first mounting hole so that the rotating component 13 can drive the bushing to rotate. The diameter of the first mounting hole is smaller than the outer diameter of the bushing. The rotating component 13 is mounted on the second mounting plate 133112 through the first driving member 113. The first driving member 113 is used to drive the rotating component 13 to move in the Z-axis direction so that the rotating component 13 drives the bushing to move upward so that the detection component 12 can detect the orientation of the bushing.
[0053] Preferably, the limiting member 16, which restricts the travel of the bushing from the feed pipe 14 to the placement groove 1111, is located on both sides of the placement groove 1111, respectively. The limiting member 16 can be mounted on the movable block on the side of the placement groove 1111 by a mounting member, and is perpendicular to the length direction of the placement groove 1111. When the feed pipe 14 delivers the bushing to the placement groove 1111, the limiting member 16 ensures that the feed pipe 14 can only deliver one bushing to the placement groove 1111, which is slightly wider than the diameter of one bushing. When the first power member 15 pushes the placement groove 1111 to the rotation position, the limiting member 16 is simultaneously pushed and rotated. The movement allows the bushing to be moved to the rotation position. When the first power member 15 resets, the reset member 17 on the limiting member 16, which can be a spring or a flexible connecting wire, will drive the limiting member 16 to reset, so as to limit the travel of the next bushing being transported by the feeding pipe 14 to the placement groove 1111. The placement of the bushing by the feeding pipe 14 can be achieved by blowing several bushings one by one into the placement groove 1111 through the hollow structure of the feeding pipe 14. The placement groove 1111 is provided with a groove of a certain depth to facilitate the placement of the bushing, and the width of the groove is limited to the placement of only one bushing, or it can be slightly larger than the diameter of the bushing so that the first power member 15 can push the bushing to move.
[0054] like Figure 1-2As shown, in a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the rotating assembly 13 includes a mounting plate 133, a second power component 131, and a rotating rod 132.

The middle part of the rotating rod 132 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 133. The other end of the rotating rod 132 is inserted into the rotation position of the mounting bracket 11. The rotating rod 132 is used to position the bushing. The first driving component 113 drives the rotating assembly 13 to move so that the rotating rod 132 lifts the bushing to realize the detection assembly 12 detecting the orientation of the bushing.
[0055] In this embodiment of the present invention, preferably, the rotating assembly 13 mounted on the mounting frame 11 mainly includes a mounting plate 133, a second power component 131, and a rotating rod 132. The mounting plate 133 is connected to a first drive component 113 mounted on the mounting frame 11. The second power component 131 is mounted on the mounting plate 133. The output end of the second power component 131 is connected to the rotating rod 132. The second power component 131 is used to drive the rotating rod 132 to rotate so that the bushing can adjust its orientation by rotation to meet the installation requirements. The first drive component 113 is used to move the rotating rod 132 in the Z-axis direction so that the bushing connected to the end of the rotating rod 132 can be lifted from the placement slot 1111 of the mounting frame 11 and picked up by the clamping block 322 of the clamping assembly 32.
[0056] like Figure 1-2 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the detection component 12 includes a position detection component 121 and an orientation detection component 122. The position detection component 121 is installed on the side of the placement groove 1111 and is used to detect whether the bushing has reached the rotation position. The orientation detection component 122 is installed on the top surface of the mounting bracket 11 and is used to detect the orientation of the bushing on the rotating rod 132.
[0057] In this embodiment of the present invention, preferably, the detection component 12 installed on the mounting bracket 11 mainly includes a position detection component 121 and an orientation detection component 122. The position detection component 121 is located on the side of the placement groove 1111 on the mounting bracket 11 to detect whether the bushing is located above the first mounting hole so that the rotating rod 132 can position the bushing. The detection direction of the orientation detection component 122 is higher than the mounting bracket 11 so as to detect the orientation of the bushing after rotation. The bushing is driven to rotate by the rotating rod 132 and is lifted up by the first driving component 113 so as to be detected by the orientation detection component 122. When the orientation of the bushing meets the installation requirements, the clamping component 32 clamps the bushing.

The clamping assembly 32 and the stamping assembly 33 can move under the drive of the drive assembly 31 to facilitate the clamping assembly 32 to clamp the bushing on the bushing positioning device. The stamping assembly 33 installs the bushing onto the product 5 conveyed by the conveying device 2. The bushing is positioned by the bushing positioning device installed on the stamping device 3. The placement groove 1111 holds the bushing conveyed by the feeding pipe 14, and the rotation assembly 13 drives the placement groove 1111. The bushing on the mounting bracket 111 rotates to align with the installation requirements. A first drive component 113 on the mounting bracket 11 drives the rotating component 13 to move upward, causing the rotating rod 132, which is fitted inside the bushing, to move the bushing upward. The detection component 12 detects the orientation of the bushing. When the bushing rotates and the orientation meets the installation requirements, the clamping component 32 clamps the bushing on the mounting bracket 11. The drive component 31 drives the clamping component 32 and the bushing to move to the installation position of the product 5. Then, the stamping component 33 installs the bushing on the product 5. If the orientation of the bushing does not meet the installation requirements, the rotating component 13 continues to drive the bushing to rotate until the detection component 12 detects that the orientation is accurate. Then, the clamping component 32 clamps the bushing. Before the bushing is installed on the product 5, the orientation of the bushing is pre-positioned and detected to avoid affecting the installation effect of the bushing due to incorrect orientation and to simplify the operation steps and save time and effort.
