Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chain assembly technology, and in particular to an automatic assembly mechanism for high-strength stainless steel chains. Background Technology
[0002] In modern industry, high-strength stainless steel chains are widely used in food processing, medical devices, marine engineering, automated production lines and other scenarios with extremely high requirements for environmental adaptability and reliability, thanks to their excellent corrosion resistance, high strength and long service life.
[0003] Traditional high-strength stainless steel chain assembly mainly relies on manual operation. Workers need to manually complete processes such as aligning and pressing chain links with pins. This method is not only inefficient and unable to meet the needs of large-scale, batch production, but also the assembly quality is greatly affected by subjective factors such as worker experience and fatigue, which can easily lead to problems such as chain link misalignment and inadequate pin pressing. As a result, the strength and stability of the chain cannot be effectively guaranteed, and the product qualification rate is difficult to improve. Therefore, we propose an automatic assembly mechanism for high-strength stainless steel chains to solve this problem. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic assembly mechanism for high-strength stainless steel chains to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] An automatic assembly mechanism for high-strength stainless steel chains includes: a base, multiple sets of stainless steel connecting chain links, and multiple sets of stainless steel pins. A feeding platform, two sets of support legs, two sets of support plates, and two sets of columns are fixedly mounted on the top of the base. A workbench is fixedly mounted on the top of each of the two sets of support legs, and a placement seat is provided on the top of the workbench. Rotating shafts are rotatably mounted inside each of the two sets of support plates. Drive gears are fixedly mounted at both ends of each of the two sets of rotating shafts. Two sets of driven gears are rotatably mounted on one side of each of the two sets of support plates. A connecting frame is fixedly mounted on one side of each set of support plates. The system is equipped with support plates, with a drive motor fixedly installed on the top of each support plate. A frame is fixedly installed on one side of each of the two sets of columns. A base plate is detachably installed on the bottom of each of the two sets of frames. A support is fixedly installed on the bottom of each of the two sets of base plates. An electric push rod II is fixedly installed on one side of each of the two sets of support rods. A pneumatic suction cup frame is fixedly installed on the output end of each of the two sets of electric push rods. A push plate is slidably installed inside each of the two sets of frames. An electric push rod I is fixedly installed on the top of each of the two sets of frames. A clamping plate is fixedly installed on the output end of the electric push rod I. Multiple sets of stainless steel pins are arranged on the feeding platform, the connecting frame, and the placement seat.
[0007] Preferably, two sets of telescopic rods are provided between one side of each of the two sets of supports and the corresponding pneumatic suction cup frame, and two sets of tension springs are provided between each of the two sets of push plates and one side of the inner wall of the frame, and multiple sets of stainless steel connecting chain links are stacked between the pull plate and the push plate.
[0008] Preferably, the inner walls of both sets of frames are provided with slide rails, and the two sets of push plates are slidably installed in the corresponding slide rails.
[0009] Preferably, the two sets of driven gears located on the same side mesh with the corresponding driving gears, and one side of one set of driving gears is fixedly mounted on the output end of the drive motor.
[0010] Preferably, the top of both sets of connecting brackets is provided with a placement groove that matches the stainless steel pin.
[0011] Preferably, both sets of the frame bodies have internal sliding grooves, and the two sets of the card plates are slidably installed in the corresponding sliding grooves. One side of each set of the card plates has a slot that matches the stainless steel connecting chain link.
[0012] In this utility model, a high-strength stainless steel chain automatic assembly mechanism is described. Multiple sets of stainless steel connecting chain links are stacked between the push plate and pull plate in the frame. The tension spring keeps the chain links in a compact state. Multiple sets of stainless steel pins are placed on the feeding table. An appropriate number of pins are also pre-placed on the connecting frame and the placement seat. This avoids downtime due to manual feeding or insufficient feeding at one time, ensures uninterrupted operation of the assembly process, and significantly improves the output of chains per unit time.
[0013] In this utility model, an automatic assembly mechanism for high-strength stainless steel chains is provided. A drive motor drives the active gear fixedly connected to it to rotate. The two sets of active gears rotate synchronously through a rotating shaft. The active gear meshes with the driven gear, thereby causing the two sets of driven gears to rotate synchronously. This, in turn, drives the connecting frame fixed on one side to rotate synchronously. The placement slot on the top of the connecting frame carries the stainless steel pins on the feeding table. As the connecting frame rotates, the pins are transported to the placement seat. The automated transmission system replaces manual handling of the pins. Operators only need to complete the initial loading, reducing labor intensity, ensuring the chain assembly accuracy, and meeting the stringent process requirements of high-strength stainless steel chains.
[0014] This utility model features a reasonable structural design. An electric push rod (first part) drives a clamping plate to slide downwards along a groove inside the frame. The groove on one side of the clamping plate engages the bottommost stainless steel connecting chain link. As the clamping plate continues to move downwards, it overcomes the tension of the spring, pushing the bottommost stainless steel connecting chain link down. This then activates an electric push rod (second part), which, under the constraint of a telescopic rod, pushes a pneumatic suction cup frame. The telescopic rod assists in its smooth horizontal movement below the clamping plate. The pneumatic suction cup frame activates, using its suction cup to adhere to the stainless steel connecting chain link separated by the clamping plate. The electric push rod (second part) drives the pneumatic suction cup frame to retract, and then the electric push rod (first part) is activated to rise, resetting the clamping plate. The electric push rod (second part) then activates the suction cup to transfer the adhered stainless steel connecting chain link and place it within the corresponding stainless steel pin, completing the automated assembly between the stainless steel pin and the stainless steel connecting chain link. The entire process requires no manual intervention in the chain link gripping and placement; operators only need to perform the initial loading, reducing labor costs and improving production efficiency. It also ensures high-precision alignment of the mounting holes for each component of the chain, enhancing the overall strength and stability of the chain. Attached Figure Description

A clamping plate 25 is fixedly installed on the output end of the electric push rod 5. Multiple sets of stainless steel pins 3 are set on the feeding table 2, the connecting frame 14 and the placement seat 8.
[0023] In this embodiment, two sets of telescopic rods 23 are provided between one side of the two sets of supports 21 and the corresponding pneumatic suction cup frame 24, and two sets of tension springs 19 are provided between the two sets of push plates 18 and the inner wall of one side of the frame 17.

[0024] In this embodiment, the inner walls of both sets of frames 17 are provided with slide rails, and the two sets of push plates 18 are slidably installed in the corresponding slide rails to ensure the accuracy and stability of the chain link separation process.
[0025] In this embodiment, two sets of driven gears 13 located on the same side mesh with the corresponding driving gears 12. One side of one set of driving gears 12 is fixedly installed on the output end of the drive motor 11, thereby improving assembly efficiency.
[0026] In this embodiment, the top of both sets of connecting frames 14 is provided with a placement groove that matches the stainless steel pin 3, which can realize the automation and standardization of pin conveying, reduce manual intervention, and meet the operation requirements of automated production lines.
