Description

Technical Field

[0002] Filters play a crucial role in many areas of modern industrial production and daily life, from air purification and water filtration to liquid and gas separation in industrial processes, and even food and beverage processing. Their presence is ubiquitous. In the filter manufacturing process, the pressing process, which tightly assembles the filter element and end caps, is undoubtedly the core step in ensuring filter performance. However, traditional filter pressing mechanisms have revealed numerous problems in practical applications. Some traditional pressing devices lack a precise positioning structure for the filter element, making it difficult for the end caps to be aligned with the filter element's axis during pressing. This significantly increases the product scrap rate and seriously affects production efficiency. Therefore, developing a filter assembly machine with high-precision positioning capabilities that can significantly improve mass production efficiency is of extremely urgent practical significance for promoting the development of the filter manufacturing industry and meeting the ever-growing market demand.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Please see Figures 1 to 7 This utility model provides a technical solution: a clamping mechanism for a filter assembly machine. The clamping mechanism is installed on the workbench 2 inside the cabinet 1 of the assembly machine. The clamping mechanism includes a rotating mounting plate 7, which is an annular plate. The rotating mounting plate 7 is rotatably mounted on the upper surface of the workbench 2. A motor for driving the rotating mounting plate 7 to rotate is provided between the rotating mounting plate 7 and the workbench 2.

[0022] Several material feeding devices 11 are provided on the upper edge of the rotating mounting plate 7. The material feeding devices 11 are used to place filter accessories for assembly. A first auxiliary cabinet 3 and a second auxiliary cabinet 4 are respectively provided on both sides of the cabinet body 1. The first auxiliary cabinet 3 and the second auxiliary cabinet 4 are respectively connected to the lower cover feeding track 301 and the upper cover feeding track 401. The ends of the lower cover feeding track 301 and the upper cover feeding track 401 extend into the cabinet body 1 and are located next to the side wall of the rotating mounting plate 7. A membrane feeding device 1 is provided on the front and rear sides of the rotating mounting plate 7. 2 and unloading port 17; A cylindrical platform is fixedly set in the middle of the rotating mounting plate 7, and a mounting frame 8 is set on the cylindrical platform. A lifting seat 9 is set on the mounting frame 8, and an array of functional robotic arms is set on the lifting seat 9. A drive cylinder 10 is set at the center of the lifting seat 9. The mounting frame 8 includes a ring, and four columns are connected to the bottom surface of the ring. Four sliding sleeves are set on the lifting seat 9, and the sliding sleeves are slidably sleeved on the columns. The bottom of the drive cylinder 10 is fixedly installed in the middle position of the lifting seat 9, and the top of the drive cylinder 10 is fixedly installed inside the cabinet 1.

[0023] Each robotic arm includes a telescopic rod mounted on the lifting seat 9. The telescopic rod connects to a functional unit, which has a specific structure as needed, such as grippers, suction cups, etc. The telescopic rod extends and retracts to adjust the position of the functional unit. The array of functional robotic arms includes a cover removal robot 14, a membrane removal robot 13, an upper cover removal robot 15, and a discharge robot 16. The cover removal robot 14 is used to remove the lower cover from the lower cover loading track 301 and place it in the discharge device 11. Then, the mounting plate 7 is rotated to move the discharge device 11 to the next process position. The membrane removal robot 13 is used to remove the filter membrane formed on the upper membrane device 12 and place it in the discharge device 11. The upper membrane device 12 includes a membrane dispensing section and a membrane receiving section. In the membrane cutting section, the membrane is cut by a circular cutter. The membrane-retrieving robot 13 places the membrane in the feeding device 11, and then rotates the mounting plate 7 to move the lower cover with the filter membrane to the next process. The upper cover-retrieving robot 15 can then remove the upper cover from the upper cover feeding track 401 and place it in the feeding device 11 for pressing. Pressing is achieved by controlling the lowering of the lifting seat 9; simply extending the drive cylinder 10 allows the lifting seat 9 to move up and down on the mounting frame 8. The discharge robot 16 removes the pressed filter from the lower feeding device 11 and places it into the discharge port 17. The worktable 2 is also equipped with a laser cutting device 5 and an ultrasonic welding machine 6, which can be used for laser cutting and ultrasonic welding, and other processes can be added as needed.

[0024] The feeding device 11 is provided with a plurality of groups and is evenly distributed on the rotating mounting disc 7. The feeding device includes two feeding main bodies 1101 symmetrically assembled together. A plurality of layers of feeding grooves 1102 are provided on the feeding main body 1101 for placing the filter membrane workpieces to be processed. Multiple layers of different sizes are provided to adapt to workpieces of various models. A bottom frame 1103 is connected to the bottom of each feeding main body 1101. The bottom frame 1103 is of a "C" - shaped structure. A first telescopic rod 1104 is connected to the outer wall of the bottom frame 1103. An inner groove 1105 is opened at the middle of the opposite surfaces of the two feeding main bodies 1101. A toothed plate 1106 is installed in the inner groove 1105. The two toothed plates 1106 are rotationally symmetric. A transmission gear 1107 is rotatably installed between the two toothed plates 1106. The transmission gear 1107 is meshed and connected with the toothed plates 1106 on both sides. An installation hole is opened at the bottom of the feeding groove 1102. A push rod 1109 is provided in the installation hole. A suction cup 1108 is provided at the top end of the push rod 1109. The bottom end of the push rod 1109 is fixedly connected to the lower connecting plate 1110. A second telescopic rod 1111 is installed on the bottom surface of the feeding main body 1101. The bottom end of the second telescopic rod 1111 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the lower connecting plate 1110.

[0025] During production feeding, the workpieces to be processed for the filter are placed in the adapted feeding grooves 1102. To ensure its stability and prevent it from moving during production, the second telescopic rod 1111 contracts to pull the lower connecting plate 1110 upward, causing the push rod 1109 to push the suction cup 1108 upward to suck the bottom surface of the workpiece to be processed, making it more stable. When discharging, the suction of the suction cup 1108 is cancelled. To avoid the inconvenience caused by the workpiece being too tightly connected to the feeding groove 1102 (such as difficult material taking, friction, deformation, etc.), the first telescopic rod 1104 is controlled to pull the bottom frame 1103, causing one side of the feeding main body 1101 to move to one side. And through the transmission of the toothed plate 1106 and the transmission gear 1107, the two combined feeding main bodies 1101 are separated by a certain distance, making it more convenient to take the material.

[0026] A pressing mechanism for a filter assembly machine proposed by the present utility model automatically feeds materials through the first auxiliary cabinet 3, the lower cover feeding track 301, the second auxiliary cabinet 4, and the upper cover feeding track 401 on both sides during the production of filters. The film feeding device 12 can automatically cut the filter membrane, and then the assembly and pressing work of the filter are completed by a plurality of groups of functional robotic arms. Finally, the formed products are discharged. The whole production process is fully automated, with high precision and greatly improved production efficiency.
