[0002] End cap bearing press-in equipment generally consists of several main parts, such as frame, press-in device, bearing feeding system, positioning system, press-in head, drive system, etc. When assembling end caps, the bearings need to be press-fitted into the end caps first, and then the rotor is assembled into the end caps with the bearings already pressed in. It is commonly used in the production of automotive engine, transmission system, axle and other components.

[0003] Existing technologies, such as the utility model patent with publication number CN218276408U, disclose a rotor-bearing and end-cap-bearing insertion device. This patent includes a frame, a conveying mechanism for transporting the rotor and end cap, a first bearing loading mechanism for loading a first bearing, a first transfer mechanism for transferring the first bearing, a first pressing mechanism for pressing the rotor into the first bearing, a second bearing loading mechanism for loading a second bearing, a second transfer mechanism for transferring the second bearing, and a second pressing mechanism for pressing the end cap into the second bearing. By automating the conveying mechanism, the first bearing loading mechanism, the first transfer mechanism, the first pressing mechanism, the second bearing loading mechanism, the second transfer mechanism, and the second pressing mechanism, the automatic pressing of the rotor and end cap is achieved, improving work efficiency and reducing the defect rate.

[0004] During the manufacturing process of parts, it was found that the existing bearing pressing method usually relies on manual operation or simple mechanical equipment. However, factors such as different skill levels of operators and changes in the operating environment can lead to problems in ensuring the accuracy and consistency of bearing pressing.

[0005] This application provides a technical solution to the technical problem, aiming to provide those skilled in the art with a variety of solutions to the problem. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies where bearing pressing methods typically rely on manual operation or simple mechanical equipment. However, factors such as varying operator skill levels and changes in the operating environment can make it difficult to guarantee the accuracy and consistency of bearing pressing.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an end cap bearing pressing device, comprising a machine base, a linear sliding frame with a slide rail on one side of the upper surface of the machine base, a plurality of bearing frames on the upper surface of the machine base corresponding to the position of the linear sliding frame with the slide rail, a gripping mechanism on the moving end surface of the linear sliding frame with the slide rail, a transfer mechanism on the side of the machine base surface near the bearing frames, a feeding mechanism on one side of the machine base, a stamping mechanism on the surface of the machine base corresponding to the position of the feeding mechanism, a product inspection frame on the surface of the machine base corresponding to the position of the stamping mechanism, and a discharge conveyor frame on the side of the machine base surface corresponding to the stamping mechanism.

[0008] The effects achieved by the above components are as follows: during the stamping assembly of the end cap bearing, the coordinated work of components such as the linear sliding frame, gripping mechanism, and transfer mechanism enables automated conveying, gripping, positioning, and clamping of the end cap parts and bearings. Finally, the stamping mechanism enables the effective pressing operation of the end cap bearing based on precise positioning, reducing manual intervention and improving production efficiency.

[0009] Preferably, the gripping mechanism includes a longitudinal sliding guide rail, the upper end of which is fixedly connected to the moving end surface of the linear sliding frame, and a support plate is fixedly connected to the moving end of the lower surface of the longitudinal sliding guide rail. Several suction cup rods are fixedly connected to the surface of the support plate at positions corresponding to the bearing frame.

[0010] The effects achieved by the above components are as follows: thanks to the high degree of structural and functional integration of the gripping mechanism, it can operate efficiently on automated production lines.

Guide plates are fixedly connected to the four corners of the upper end of the placement frame. The cross-section of the guide plates is "L" shaped.

[0012] The effect achieved by the above components is that the position of the carrier frame can be positioned by means of the placement frame set on the surface of the machine, and the carrier frame can be limited by the guide plate to prevent the carrier frame from shifting position.

[0014] The effects achieved by the above components are as follows: the components in the transfer mechanism can be precisely matched to realize high-precision and automated object transfer; at the same time, the threaded connection between the drive rod and the moving plate provides smooth movement control; the pushing action of the first cylinder ensures the accurate positioning of the positioning block; and the cooperative design between the positioning block and the docking block further improves the stability and reliability of the transfer process.

[0015] Preferably, two proximity sensors are fixedly connected to the surface of the movable plate, and the two proximity sensors are located on the two side surfaces of the movable plate, respectively.

Side frames are fixedly connected to both sides of the upper end of the auxiliary plate. The cross-section of the side frames is "L".

[0018] The aforementioned components achieve the following effects: the fixed connection between the material frame and the machine base ensures the stability of the feeding process; the cooperation between the support frame and the conveyor track enables smooth material transport; the collaboration between the second cylinder and the top block provides precise material pushing control, ensuring that the material is accurately delivered to the designated position; and the "L"-shaped cross-section of the side frame enhances the structural stability and effectively prevents material deviation.

[0020] The aforementioned components achieve the following effects: they can be securely fixed to the machine base using the connecting frame, and the drive cylinder can drive the stamping head for precise stamping; the design of the connecting plate and the pneumatic swing cylinder allows the transverse electric push rod to be flexibly adjusted between different positions, ensuring that the clamping block is aligned with the stamping head, and providing precise material clamping and stamping position control.

[0021] In summary, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0022] In this invention, during the stamping process of the end cap bearing, the end cap workpiece is first placed in the bearing frame. Then, the gripping mechanism on the surface of the linear moving frame is used to grip and transport the end cap workpiece to the moving plate surface in the transfer mechanism. At the same time, the feeding mechanism is used to transport the bearing to its position. Finally, the position of the clamping block is adjusted by the pneumatic swing cylinder in the stamping mechanism, thereby clamping and transferring the end cap workpiece and bearing positioned and transported on the upper surface of the moving plate. After that, it is placed in the inlay frame on the upper surface of the fixed frame, and then stamping is performed by the stamping head. This facilitates the coordinated work of multiple automated devices, including the gripping mechanism, transfer mechanism, and feeding mechanism, to form a complete automated system. This makes the entire production process more efficient and coordinated, effectively improving production efficiency, accuracy, and safety, while reducing labor costs and potential operational risks.
