Description

Technical Field

[0002] Rubber sealing sleeves are a special material used for sealing. They are elastic and are an indispensable part in the sealing universal joint assembly used in oil drilling screw tools. They can play a sealing role, ensuring that mud and other debris do not enter the friction surface of the spline (or teeth) during use, reducing the wear of important components such as the universal joint spline (or teeth), and extending the service life of the universal joint.

[0003] In related technologies, during the traditional assembly process of rubber seal sleeves, because the diameter of the small end of the rubber seal sleeve is much smaller than the diameter of the large end of the spline shaft, assembly is usually carried out manually by inserting multiple small steel rods into several spline grooves of the universal joint to continuously expand the rubber seal sleeve and push it into the spline shaft. However, this manual assembly method is not only slow, but also increases the labor intensity and labor costs of the operators. At the same time, manual operation cannot precisely control the expansion size and uniformity, and the rubber seal sleeve is easily damaged during assembly, which greatly reduces work efficiency and the quality of the assembled parts.

Detailed Implementation

[0035] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0036] In related technologies, manual operation cannot accurately control the expansion size and uniformity, and the rubber sealing sleeve is easily damaged during assembly, which greatly reduces work efficiency and the quality of assembled parts.

[0037] Firstly, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this application provides an expansion assembly device for a rubber sealing sleeve, which includes: a mounting bracket 1, a positioning plate 2, and a drive assembly; wherein,

[0038] The positioning disk 2 is movably mounted on the mounting bracket 1. The positioning disk 2 is provided with an expansion component for expanding the rubber sealing sleeve. The positioning disk 2 can rotate around its center to adjust the posture of the expansion component to align with the spline groove. The driving component is mounted on the mounting bracket 1 and is connected to the expansion component. The driving component is used to drive the expansion component to perform an opening or closing action.

[0039] It is worth noting that this application uses a drive component to drive the expansion of the rubber sealing sleeve, replacing manual operation and thus enabling precise control of the expansion dimensions. Furthermore, this application utilizes the positioning disc 2 to precisely control the orientation of the expansion component, facilitating alignment with the spline grooves of the universal joint head, meeting the requirements for rapid and non-destructive assembly, reducing the complexity and time consumption of manual operation, thereby improving work efficiency, reducing labor intensity, and bringing significant benefits to the assembly and quality control of the rubber sealing sleeve.

[0040] In some preferred embodiments, the mounting bracket 1 is provided with a crossed roller bearing 11, the inner ring 112 of the crossed roller bearing 11 is rotatable relative to its outer ring 111, the outer ring 111 is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 1, and the inner ring 112 is connected to the positioning plate 2.

[0041] It is worth noting that this application utilizes the crossed roller bearing 11 to integrate the positioning disc 2 onto the mounting bracket 1, which saves space for the entire device and improves the product integration while ensuring the rotational adjustment function of the positioning disc 2.

[0042] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the crossed roller bearing 11 includes an outer ring 111 and an inner ring 112, wherein the outer ring 111 is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 1, and the inner ring 112 is fixedly connected to the positioning plate 2.

[0043] It is understandable that when the positioning disk 2 rotates, it can drive the inner ring 112 of the bearing to rotate as well, thereby completing the integrated setup of the positioning disk 2 without affecting its rotation function.

[0044] In some preferred embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the mounting bracket 1 is provided with a limiting groove 12, and the positioning plate 2 is provided with a limiting post 21. The limiting post 21 is located in the limiting groove 12, and the limiting post 21 can move in the limiting groove 12 as the positioning plate 2 rotates.

[0045] Optionally, the limiting post 21 is located on the lower end face of the positioning plate 2.

[0046] It is worth noting that the limiting groove 12 is set along the circumference of the steering wheel to limit the movement range of the limiting post 21, thereby limiting the rotation of the positioning disk 2.

[0047] Optionally, to facilitate operators in adjusting the posture of the expansion components, the positioning disk 2 is provided with a handle 22.

[0048] Understandably, during use, it is necessary to manually turn the handle 22 to drive the positioning plate 2 to rotate. By utilizing the rotatable characteristic of the crossed roller bearing, it is ensured that the six sets of support rods 32 correspond to the six sets of spline tooth grooves, making it possible for the rubber sealing sleeve to open the spline tooth end of the universal joint for feeding.

[0049] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 As shown, the positioning disk 2 includes a positioning surface 23 and a fixing surface 24, with the fixing surface 24 fixedly connected to the inner ring 112 of the bearing. The positioning surface 23 is fixedly connected to the expansion assembly.

[0050] In some specific embodiments, the drive assembly includes: a speed reducer 4 and a drive motor 5; wherein,

[0051] A speed reducer 4 is mounted on the mounting bracket 1. The output shaft of the speed reducer 4 is connected to a coupling 41, which passes through the crossed roller bearing 11 and is connected to the expansion assembly. A drive motor 5 is connected to the speed reducer 4. The drive motor 5 can drive the expansion assembly to perform an opening or closing action through the coupling 41.

[0052] It is worth noting that in this application, the drive motor 5 and the reducer 4 are fitted together. Furthermore, this application utilizes the crossed roller bearing 11 to fulfill the rotation function of the positioning disc 2, and its bearing bore allows the coupling 41 to pass through and connect to the expansion assembly. This integrates the expansion assembly and the drive assembly on both sides of the mounting bracket 1, further improving the overall integration.

[0053] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the drive assembly further includes a motor mounting base 6, which is mounted on the side of the mounting bracket 1 away from the positioning disk 2. The motor mounting base 6 is equipped with the reducer 4 and the drive motor 5. The motor mounting base 6 is provided with a bearing mounting surface 61, which is connected to the inner ring 112 of the bearing.

[0054] It is worth noting that the inner ring 112 of the bearing is fitted and connected to the bearing mounting surface 61 and the fixing surface 24 on both sides, and can optionally be fixed by screws.

[0055] In some specific implementation methods, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the expansion assembly includes: a chuck 31 and a plurality of support rods 32; wherein,

[0056] The chuck 31 has multiple jaw portions 311 and a drive shaft 312. The drive shaft 312 is used to drive the multiple jaw portions 311 to move. The drive shaft 312 is connected to the coupling 41. Multiple support rods 32 are provided, the number of which corresponds to the number of jaw portions 311. Each support rod 32 is mounted on one jaw portion 311.

[0057] Specifically, such as Figure 7 As shown, the chuck portion 311 includes: a drive chuck 3111 and a pad 3112; wherein,

[0058] A drive jaw 3111 is connected to the drive shaft 312; a pad 3112 is mounted on the chuck 31, the pad 3112 is connected to the drive jaw 3111, and the support rod 32 is mounted on the pad 3112.

[0059] It is worth noting that the drive claw 3111 is welded and fixed to the pad 3112, so that when the drive claw 3111 is driven to move, it can drive the pad 3112 and the support rod 32 to perform opening or closing actions.

[0060] Optionally, the chuck 31 is fixedly connected to the positioning surface 23 of the positioning disk 2.

[0061] In some alternative implementations, such as Figure 7 As shown, the chuck 31 is a six-jaw chuck, that is, it includes six jaws 311. The drive shaft 312 of the chuck 31 is connected to the reducer 4 and the drive motor 5 through the coupling 41.

[0062] The operating principle of the expanded assembly device in this application includes:

[0063] In the initial state, the multiple jaws 311 of the chuck 31 are kept in the minimum closed state, that is, the six support rods 32 are also in the minimum closed state. When the power transmitted by the drive motor 5 and the reducer 4 is connected to the transmission shaft 312 through the coupling 41, the power is transmitted to the drive jaws 3111. The pad block 3112 is welded to the drive jaws 3111, which finally opens the six sets of support rods 32.

[0064] Understandably, the drive motor 5 can drive the support rod 32 to open or close by rotating forward and in reverse. The entire process of opening and closing the rubber seal sleeve is highly automated. The diameter of the opening is adjustable to adapt to rubber seal sleeves of various sizes, which improves work efficiency and reduces the complexity and labor intensity of manual operation. At the same time, its precise control ensures the accuracy and consistency of each feeding and opening, which provides convenience for subsequent rubber seal sleeve assembly work.

[0065] In some preferred embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the expansion assembly device also includes: a guide rail 7 and a slider 71; wherein,

[0066] The slider 71 is movably mounted on the guide rail 7, and the mounting bracket 1 is supported on the slider 71. The slider 71 can reciprocate along the guide rail 7.

[0067] Optionally, the expansion assembly device further includes a drive cylinder 9 connected to the mounting bracket 1, the drive cylinder 9 being used to drive the mounting bracket 1 and the slider 71 to move along the guide rail 7.

[0068] It is understandable that the overall movement of the mounting bracket 1 and the support rod 32 on the guide rail can be controlled by driving the cylinder 9.

[0069] Furthermore, the guide rail 7 is arranged axially along the support rod 32 in its initial state.

[0070] It is understandable that the axial movement of the support rod 32 can be achieved through the cooperation of the guide rail 7 and the slider 71, which facilitates the adjustment of the position of the support rod 32 when performing expansion tasks.

[0071] In some alternative embodiments, a limiting block 8 is mounted on the guide rail 7 to limit the movement range of the slider 71. Further, the limiting block 8 is detachably mounted on the guide rail 7.

[0072] Understandably, the limit block 8 is used to limit the slider 71 after the position of the support rod 32 is determined, preventing it from moving during the expansion process.

[0073] In summary, the expansion assembly device of this application has a high degree of automation in the entire process of opening and closing the rubber sealing sleeve. The opening diameter is adjustable to adapt to rubber sealing sleeves of various sizes, which improves work efficiency and reduces the complexity and labor intensity of manual operation. At the same time, its precise control ensures the accuracy and consistency of each feeding and opening, which provides convenience for subsequent rubber sealing sleeve assembly work.
