Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bearing assembly technology, and in particular to a bearing assembly and feeding mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Bearings, as core components of mechanical equipment, are widely used in automobiles, aerospace, machine tools, motors, robots, and other fields. With the improvement of industrial automation, traditional manual assembly methods are slow in material handling, positioning, and pressing, making it difficult to match the cycle time of automated production lines. Therefore, it is necessary to design a bearing assembly and feeding mechanism.

[0003] To address this, patent CN206780016U discloses a bearing loading mechanism, including a loading platform for placing bearings, a conveyor rail on one side of the loading platform for transporting bearings on the loading platform to the processing area, a pushing mechanism on the loading platform for pushing bearings on the loading platform onto the conveyor rail, and several loading rails on the loading platform for placing bearings, the cross-section of the loading rails being "V-shaped". The key technical point is that by setting up the loading platform, several bearings can be placed on the loading platform without the need for real-time operation by workers. One worker can operate multiple machine tools, resulting in high operating efficiency, low labor intensity for workers, and increased production efficiency.

[0004] Although the bearing loading mechanism mentioned above does not require real-time manual operation and has high efficiency, it is inconvenient to protect and limit the top of the bearing when it is placed on the "V" plate. Therefore, it is necessary to design a bearing assembly and loading mechanism. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a bearing assembly and feeding mechanism to solve the defect of existing bearing assembly and feeding mechanisms that make it inconvenient to protect and limit the top of the bearing when the bearing is placed on the "V" plate.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a bearing assembly and feeding mechanism, including a base;

[0007] A hopper is fixed to one side of the top of the base, and bearing bodies are evenly arranged on the top of the hopper;

[0008] A pusher structure is fixed on the top side of the base away from the hopper;

[0009] The bearing body has a limiting structure at its top, which includes a side plate, a guide shaft, an electric telescopic rod, and a cover chamber. The cover chamber is located at the top of the bearing body. Side plates are fixed on the outer walls of both sides of the bottom of the cover chamber. The electric telescopic rod is fixed on both sides of the top of the base. Guide shafts are slidably connected to both sides inside the side plates.

[0010] Furthermore, clamping grooves are evenly provided on the top side of the hopper away from the pushing structure and the bottom side of the cover hopper away from the pushing structure.

[0011] Furthermore, the bearing bodies are evenly distributed at the top of the hopper.

[0012] Furthermore, the pushing structure includes a mounting base, a moving block, a lead screw, a servo motor, a heightening block, a push rod, a push plate, and a limiting plate. The mounting base is fixed to the top of the base on the side away from the hopper. A moving block is provided on the top of the mounting base. A lead screw is internally threaded onto the moving block. A heightening block is fixed to the top of the moving block. A push rod is fixed to one side of the heightening block. One end of the push rod extends to the inside of the hopper and is fixed to a push plate. A limiting plate is fixed to the side of the push plate near the bearing body. The servo motor is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the mounting base on the side away from the hopper.

[0013] Furthermore, one end of the lead screw extends into the interior of the mounting base and is rotatably connected to the mounting base, while the other end of the lead screw extends into the exterior of the mounting base and is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor.

[0014] Furthermore, one side of the push plate and one side of the bearing body abut against each other, and the outer diameter of the limiting plate is smaller than the inner diameter of the bearing body.

[0015] Furthermore, the side plates are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the cover compartment, and the bottom end of the guide shaft is fixedly connected to the top end of the base.

[0016] Furthermore, the guide shafts are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the side plate, and the top end of the electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the side plate.

[0017] The bearing assembly and feeding mechanism provided by this utility model has the following advantages:

[0018] By setting a limiting structure, the cover can prevent the bearing body from being contaminated or accidentally falling off in the hopper. The electric telescopic rod can adjust the lowering distance of the cover through the side plate. The guide shaft ensures that the side plate moves vertically and avoids deviation. The side plates are symmetrically distributed and can be adapted to bearing bodies of various outer diameters. This makes the device easy to protect the bearing and easy to feed, improving the convenience and efficiency of the bearing assembly and feeding mechanism during use.

[0019] By incorporating a pushing structure and using a lead screw drive, stable linear motion can be achieved, ensuring consistent reverse pushing each time. The limiting plate matches the inner diameter of the bearing, allowing it to be pushed into the inner side of the hopper during pushing to achieve limiting and improve pushing stability. The pushing plate can be made of elastic material to prevent scratching the surface of the bearing body. A servo motor controls the rotation of the lead screw, adapting to the pushing requirements of different sized limiting structures. This enables the device to have an automatic pushing function, improving the convenience and efficiency of the bearing assembly and feeding mechanism during use.

[0020] By providing a clamping groove, after the bearing body is pushed to one end of the hopper, it can be clamped and removed from both sides using an external clamping mechanism. This enables the device to easily pick up materials and improves the convenience of using the bearing assembly and feeding mechanism. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0027] 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.

[0028] Please see Figures 1-5The present invention provides a bearing assembly and feeding mechanism, including a base 1.

[0029] Reference Figures 1-5 A hopper 2 is fixed to one side of the top of the base 1. Bearing bodies 3 are evenly distributed on the top of the hopper 2. The bearing bodies 3 are evenly spaced on the top of the hopper 2. A pushing structure 4 is fixed to the side of the top of the base 1 away from the hopper 2. The pushing structure 4 includes a mounting base 41, a moving block 42, a lead screw 43, a servo motor 44, a heightening block 45, a push rod 46, a push plate 47, and a limiting plate 48. The mounting base 41 is fixed to the side of the top of the base 1 away from the hopper 2. The moving block 42 is provided on the top of the mounting base 41. The lead screw 43 is internally threaded to the moving block 42. The heightening block 45 is fixed to the top of the moving block 42. A push rod 46 is fixed to one side of the high block 45. One end of the push rod 46 extends to the inside of the hopper 2 and is fixed with a push plate 47. A limit plate 48 is fixed to the side of the push plate 47 near the bearing body 3. The servo motor 44 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the mounting base 41 away from the hopper 2. One end of the lead screw 43 extends into the inside of the mounting base 41 and is rotatably connected to the mounting base 41. The other end of the lead screw 43 extends into the outside of the mounting base 41 and is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 44. One side of the push plate 47 and one side of the bearing body 3 abut against each other. The outer diameter of the limit plate 48 is smaller than the inner diameter of the bearing body 3.

[0030] When the external power supply is connected, the servo motor 44 is started. The servo motor 44 drives the lead screw 43 to rotate. When the lead screw 43 rotates, it will drive the moving block 42 to move linearly along the mounting base 41. The moving block 42 will drive the push rod 46 forward through the raising block 45. The push rod 46 will drive the push plate 47 forward to push the material. The push plate 47 pushes forward through the bearing body 3 in contact with it, so that the front bearing body 3 is pushed outward, pushing the bearing body 3 along the hopper 2 to the assembly station. The limiting plate 48 is locked into the inner ring of the bearing body 3 to ensure that the bearing does not deviate during the pushing process.

[0031] Reference Figures 1-5 The bearing body 3 has a limiting structure 5 at its top. The limiting structure 5 includes a side plate 51, a guide shaft 52, an electric telescopic rod 53, and a cover 54. The cover 54 is located at the top of the bearing body 3. The side plates 51 are fixed on the outer walls of both sides of the bottom of the cover 54. The electric telescopic rods 53 are fixed on both sides of the top of the base 1. The guide shafts 52 are slidably connected to both sides inside the side plates 51. The side plates 51 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the cover 54. The bottom end of the guide shaft 52 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 1. The guide shafts 52 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the side plates 51. The top end of the electric telescopic rod 53 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the side plates 51. Clamping grooves 6 are evenly provided on the side of the top of the hopper 2 away from the pushing structure 4 and the side of the bottom of the cover 54 away from the pushing structure 4.

[0032] When the external power supply is connected and the electric telescopic rod 53 is activated, the electric telescopic rod 53 retracts, and the side plate 51 moves downward, so that the bottom end of the cover 54 and the top end of the side plate 51 come into contact with each other. The inner wall of the top of the cover 54 lightly presses the outer ring of the bearing body 3, which can eliminate radial sway. Therefore, the top of the bearing body 3 can be limited and protected. The electric telescopic rod 53 rises and pushes the side plate 51 to slide along the guide shaft 52. The side plate 51 will drive the cover 54 to move above the hopper 2. At this time, it is convenient to put the bearing body 3 into the top of the hopper 2 as a whole, which is convenient for feeding. When pushing the material, the side plate 51 is kept in a slightly pressed state to prevent the bearing from tilting.

[0033] Although the present invention 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. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
