Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an installation mechanism, specifically a mounting mechanism for a micro water pump bottom cover and pump body. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of water pump manufacturing, the installation of the pump base cover and pump body is a critical step in the production process. Traditional methods of installing the pump base cover and pump body rely heavily on manual operation, which has many drawbacks. During manual loading, the placement and transportation of the pump base cover lack order, resulting in low efficiency and a high risk of damage to components due to improper placement. In the clamping and installation stage, manually adjusting the angle of the pump base cover makes it difficult to ensure a precise match between the mounting holes and the corresponding positions on the pump body, thus affecting installation accuracy and the overall performance of the pump. In the screw tightening process, manual operation makes it difficult to precisely control the torque, posing a risk of over-tightening or under-tightening the screws, leading to poor pump sealing or component deformation, and reducing product quality and reliability.

[0003] With the development of automation technology, some companies have tried to use semi-automatic equipment to install water pump bottom covers and pump bodies, but existing equipment still has problems such as imperfect structural design and poor coordination between various links.

[0041] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail.

[0042] Example 1, by Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a mounting mechanism for a micro water pump base cover and pump body, comprising:

[0043] The frame 1 has a pump body rotating conveyor plate at the top center;

[0044] Vibrating feeder 2, mounted on frame 1, is used to convey water pump bottom cover 3;

[0045] Baffle 4 is provided at the discharge end of the vibrating feeder 2;

[0046] Pneumatic clamp 5 is positioned above the conveying path of the rotating conveying disc of the pump body;

[0047] A rotary cylinder 6 is mounted on the top of the pneumatic clamp 5 and is used to drive the pneumatic clamp 5 to rotate.

[0048] The first moving mechanism is located above one side of the vibrating feeder 2. The pneumatic clamp 5 is mounted on the first moving mechanism. The first moving mechanism is used to drive the pneumatic clamp 5 to move horizontally and vertically.

[0049] The screw feeder 12 is installed on the conveying path of the rotating conveyor disc of the pump body and is located behind the vibrating feeder 2;

[0050] 14 screw fastening machines;

[0051] The negative pressure suction head 13 is installed at the bottom of the screw fastening machine 14 and is used to pick up screws;

[0052] The second moving mechanism is located above one side of the screw feeder 12. The screw fastening machine 14 is mounted on the second moving mechanism. The second moving mechanism is used to drive the screw fastening machine 14 to move horizontally and vertically.

[0053] Among them, the pneumatic clamp 5 is used to clamp the water pump bottom cover 3 after the discharge end of the vibrating feeder 2 is positioned by the baffle 4; the rotary cylinder 6 is used to adjust the angle of the clamped water pump bottom cover 3; the first moving mechanism is used to drive the water pump bottom cover 3 after the angle is adjusted to move and press it onto the pump body on the pump body rotating conveyor plate; the negative pressure suction head 13 is used to pick up the screws on the screw feeder 12; the second moving mechanism is used to drive the screw fastening machine 14 to move, so that the screw fastening machine 14 locks the screws in to lock the water pump bottom cover 3 and the pump body.

[0054] Frame 1: As the basic support structure of the entire installation mechanism, it has a pump body rotating conveyor plate at the top center to support and convey the pump body, providing a stable platform for subsequent installation operations.

[0055] Vibrating feeder 2: Installed on the frame 1, its main function is to transport the water pump bottom cover 3 to the designated position in an orderly manner through vibration, so as to realize the automatic feeding of the water pump bottom cover 3 and improve the feeding efficiency and stability.

[0056] Baffle 4: It adopts an L-shaped design and is set at the discharge end of the vibrating feeder 2. It accurately positions and guides the water pump bottom cover 3 that slides out from the discharge end of the vibrating feeder 2, ensuring that the water pump bottom cover 3 is in a suitable position for subsequent clamping operations.

[0057] Pneumatic clamp 5: Pneumatic fingers are selected and installed above the conveying path of the pump body rotating conveyor plate. It is used to clamp the water pump bottom cover 3 after the discharge end of the vibrating feeder 2 is positioned by the baffle 4. Stable clamping is achieved through pneumatic control to ensure that the water pump bottom cover 3 will not fall off during handling and installation.

[0058] Rotary cylinder 6: Installed on the top of pneumatic clamp 5, it can drive pneumatic clamp 5 to rotate 180 degrees, which is used to adjust the angle of the clamped water pump bottom cover 3 so that it matches the installation angle of the pump body and ensures the accuracy of installation.

[0059] The first moving mechanism consists of a first horizontal rail 7, a first horizontal slider 8, a first vertical slider 9, a first horizontal cylinder 10, and a first vertical cylinder 11. It is fixed above one side of the vibrating feeder 2 and is used to drive the pneumatic clamp 5 to move horizontally and vertically. The first horizontal cylinder 10 drives the first horizontal slider 8 to move horizontally, and the first vertical cylinder 11 drives the first vertical slider 9 to move vertically, thereby enabling the pneumatic clamp 5 to move the adjusted water pump bottom cover 3 and press it against the pump body on the rotating conveyor plate.

[0060] Screw feeder 12: It adopts a vibratory plate design and is installed on the conveying path of the pump body rotating conveyor plate, and is located behind the vibratory feeder 2. It is used to arrange the screws in an orderly manner and convey them to the designated position, providing conditions for the screws to be picked up and tightened.

[0061] Screw fastening machine 14: This is the core component for achieving screw fastening. It has a negative pressure suction head 13 installed at the bottom, which is used to pick up the screws on the screw feeder 12 and accurately lock the screws between the pump body and the bottom cover of the water pump to complete the fastening connection between the two.

[0062] The second moving mechanism consists of a second horizontal rail 15, a second horizontal slider 16, a second vertical slider 17, a second horizontal cylinder 19, and a second vertical cylinder 18. It is fixed above one side of the screw feeder 12 and is used to drive the screw fastening machine 14 to move horizontally and vertically. The second horizontal cylinder 19 drives the second horizontal slider 16 to move horizontally, and the second vertical cylinder 18 drives the second vertical slider 17 to move vertically, enabling the screw fastening machine 14 to accurately reach the screw installation position and tighten the screw to secure the water pump base cover 3 to the pump body.

[0063] Working principle: When this utility model is in use, after the vibrating feeder 2 is started, it uses its own vibration function to orderly transport the water pump bottom cover 3 along the conveying track to the discharge end. When the water pump bottom cover 3 reaches the discharge end, the L-shaped baffle 4 plays its role, and through a specific structural design, it accurately positions and guides the water pump bottom cover 3, ensuring that the water pump bottom cover 3 is in a position that the pneumatic clamp 5 can accurately hold, laying the foundation for subsequent installation operations.

[0064] Water pump bottom cover 3 clamping and angle adjustment: Driven by the first moving mechanism, the pneumatic clamp 5 (pneumatic finger) moves laterally and vertically above the water pump bottom cover 3 after it has been positioned by the baffle 4, through the coordinated action of the first horizontal cylinder 10 and the first vertical cylinder 11. Then, the pneumatic clamp 5 is activated, using pneumatic control principles to generate appropriate clamping force, firmly clamping the water pump bottom cover 3. Next, the rotary cylinder 6 installed at the top of the pneumatic clamp 5 is activated, driving the pneumatic clamp 5 to rotate 180 degrees, adjusting the angle of the clamped water pump bottom cover 3, so that the mounting holes and other key parts of the water pump bottom cover 3 match the corresponding positions of the pump body, ensuring the accuracy of subsequent installation.

[0065] Pressing the pump base cover 3 against the pump body: After the angle adjustment is completed, the first moving mechanism operates again. The first horizontal cylinder 10 and the first vertical cylinder 11 drive the pneumatic clamp 5 according to the preset program, precisely moving the adjusted pump base cover 3 above the pump body on the pump body rotating conveyor plate, and slowly pressing it down to make the pump base cover 3 initially fit against the pump body. During this process, the high-precision movement control of the first moving mechanism ensures the positional accuracy of the pump base cover 3 and the pump body, preparing for screw tightening.

[0066] Screw feeding and suction: The screw feeder 12 (vibratory feeder type) starts working. Through the vibration of the vibratory feeder and the track design, the screws are arranged in an orderly manner and transported along the conveyor track to the designated discharge position. At this time, the negative pressure suction head 13 installed at the bottom of the screw fastening machine 14 plays its role. Using the principle of negative pressure adsorption, it firmly sucks up the screws at the discharge position of the screw feeder 12, waiting for the next screw tightening operation.

[0067] Screw tightening: The second moving mechanism, through the action of the second horizontal cylinder 19 and the second vertical cylinder 18, drives the screw tightening machine 14 to move horizontally and vertically above the screw mounting holes of the water pump base cover 3 and the pump body. Subsequently, the screw tightening machine 14 starts, accurately screwing the screws picked up by the negative pressure suction head 13 into the screw holes of the water pump base cover 3 and the pump body. By using the set torque parameters, it ensures that the screw tightening force is appropriate, so that the water pump base cover 3 and the pump body are firmly connected.

[0068] Beneficial effects: Feeding efficiency and orderliness: The vibrating feeder 2 conveys the water pump bottom cover 3 in an orderly manner through vibration, avoiding the chaos of manual feeding and improving feeding efficiency.

[0069] Positioning accuracy: The L-shaped baffle 4 accurately positions and guides the water pump bottom cover 3 to the discharge end, ensuring that it is in a position that the pneumatic clamp 5 can accurately hold, laying the foundation for subsequent operations.

[0070] Automated clamping and angle adjustment: The pneumatic clamp 5 moves precisely under the drive of the first moving mechanism (composed of the first horizontal cylinder 10 and the first vertical cylinder 11), and rotates 180 degrees in conjunction with the rotating cylinder 6 installed on the top of the pneumatic clamp 5, automatically completing the clamping and angle adjustment of the water pump bottom cover 3, so that the mounting hole matches the corresponding position of the pump body, avoiding errors caused by manual adjustment and improving installation accuracy.

[0071] Precise position control: The first moving mechanism (first horizontal cylinder 10 and first vertical cylinder 11) drives the pneumatic clamp 5 through a preset program to precisely move the water pump bottom cover 3 with the adjusted angle to the top of the pump body on the pump body rotating conveyor plate and press it down to fit. The high-precision movement control ensures that the positions of the two are accurate, providing a good foundation for screw tightening.

[0072] Automated screw feeding: The screw feeder 12 (vibrating plate type) arranges screws in an orderly manner through vibration and track design and transports them to the designated position. The negative pressure suction head 13 installed at the bottom of the screw fastening machine 14 uses the adsorption principle to accurately pick up the screws, reducing the time and error of manual screw handling.

[0073] Controllable tightening force: The second moving mechanism (composed of the second horizontal cylinder 19 and the second vertical cylinder 18) drives the screw fastening machine 14 to move above the screw mounting hole position of the water pump bottom cover 3 and the pump body, ensuring that the water pump bottom cover 3 is firmly connected to the pump body and avoiding installation problems caused by being too tight or too loose.

[0074] Full-process automation: From conveying, clamping, angle adjustment, pressing to screw tightening of the water pump bottom cover 3, all operations are automated, reducing manual intervention and improving production efficiency and consistency.

[0075] Installation accuracy and reliability: Precise control of each link (such as positioning of L-shaped baffle 4, movement of the first and second moving mechanisms, angle adjustment of rotary cylinder 6, and torque setting of screw fastening machine 14) ensures the installation accuracy of water pump bottom cover 3 and pump body, improving product quality and reliability.

[0076] Improved production efficiency: Automated processes shorten the time of each step, reduce labor costs, are suitable for mass production, and can significantly improve overall production efficiency.

[0077] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
