Detailed Implementation

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0028] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0029] See Figure 1-6 As shown, this embodiment provides a sleeve threading mechanism, including:

[0030] The turntable 61 has one or more workstations 63 for placing fixtures 62, and the fixtures 62 are provided with limiting grooves 621 for fixing products.

[0031] Drive module 64 for rotating turntable 61;

[0032] 65, a wire clamping assembly for pulling wires for threading;

[0033] Positioning module 66 for positioning fixture 62;

[0034] The drive module 64 is driven to connect to the turntable 61, the positioning module 66 is disposed above the turntable 61, and the wire clamping assembly 65 is disposed on one side of the turntable 61.

[0035] Furthermore, the workstation 63 includes a loading workstation 631, an assembly workstation 632, a threading workstation 633, and an unloading workstation 634 arranged sequentially.

[0036] In this application, after the fixture 62 is transferred to the loading station 631 by the three-axis robot, the drive module 64 drives the turntable 61 to rotate one station, transferring the fixture 62 to the assembly station 632. The robot assembly mechanism places the assembled rubber sleeve and sheath onto the assembly station 632. Then, the drive module 64 drives the turntable 61 to rotate one station again, transferring the product to the threading station 633. After threading is completed, the drive module 64 drives the turntable 61 to rotate again, transferring the fixture 62 to the unloading station 634 for unloading.

[0037] Furthermore, the drive module 64 includes a drive motor 641 and a transmission structure 642. The drive motor 641 is connected to the turntable 61 through the transmission structure 642. This enables the turntable 61 to rotate, thereby achieving the switching of workstations.

[0038] Furthermore, the wire clamping assembly 65 includes a transplanting module 651, a wire clamping extension cylinder 652, a wire clamping cylinder 653, and a wire clamping claw 654. The wire clamping extension cylinder 652 is mounted on the transplanting module 651, the wire clamping cylinder 653 is mounted on the output end of the wire clamping extension cylinder 652, and the wire clamping claw 654 is mounted on the output end of the wire clamping cylinder 653.

[0039] In this application, during threading, the wire-clamping extension cylinder 652 extends forward, driving the wire-clamping cylinder 653 to move closer to the wire. The wire-clamping cylinder 653 controls the wire-clamping jaws 654 to open and clamp the wire. Then, the transfer module 651 operates, driving the wire-clamping jaws 654 to move towards the clamp 62, thus achieving threading. It should be noted that the transfer module 651 uses a conventional linear motor, which is prior art, and its specific implementation method is not described in detail in this application.

[0040] Furthermore, the positioning module 66 includes a positioning support bracket 661, a positioning lifting cylinder 662, a positioning lifting slide rail 663, a positioning lifting slider 664, and a positioning cover 665. The positioning lifting cylinder 662 and the positioning lifting slide rail 663 are both mounted on the positioning support bracket 661. The positioning lifting slider 664 is slidably connected to the positioning lifting slide rail 663 and is connected to the output end of the positioning lifting cylinder 662. The positioning cover 665 is mounted on the positioning lifting slider 664 and is positioned above the limiting groove 621.

[0041] In this application, during threading, the positioning lifting cylinder 662 drives the positioning cover 665 to move downward and press against the limiting groove 621 of the clamp 62 to achieve product clamping and fixing.

[0042] Furthermore, the clamp 62 is also provided with an opening 622 that communicates with the limiting groove 621. Movable grooves 623 are provided on the side walls on both sides of the opening 622. A spring 624 and a blocking block 625 are provided in the movable groove 623. One end of the blocking block 625 is movably disposed in the movable groove 623, and the other end extends through the movable groove 623 into the opening 622. One end of the spring 624 is connected to the blocking block 625, and the other end is connected to the inner wall of the movable groove 623.

[0043] Furthermore, a push rod 626 is installed on the blocking block 625. One end of the push rod 626 is located below the blocking block 625, and the other end is inserted into the blocking block 625. An opening clamp module 67 for pushing the push rod 626 is also provided below the blocking block 625.

[0044] In this application, under normal conditions, the blocking blocks 625 on both sides of the opening 622 extend into the opening 622 under the action of the spring 624, blocking the opening 622 and preventing the wire from entering the limiting groove 621 for threading. When threading is required, the clamp module 67 is activated, pushing the push rod 626 to move. The push rod 626 drives the blocking blocks 625 to move, and the blocking blocks 625 retract into the movable groove 623, opening the opening 622 and allowing the wire to enter the fiber groove for threading the product.

[0045] Furthermore, the clamping module 67 includes a clamping lifting cylinder 671, a clamping jaw cylinder 672, and a clamping jaw 673. The clamping jaw cylinder 672 is connected to the output end of the clamping lifting cylinder 671, and the clamping jaw 673 is connected to the output end of the clamping jaw cylinder 672. The clamping jaw 673 is correspondingly positioned between the two push rods 626. In this application, when threading is required, the clamping lifting cylinder 671 drives the clamping jaw cylinder 672 and the clamping jaw 673 to rise to the position of the push rod 626. The clamping jaw 673 is located between the two push rods 626. When the clamping jaw cylinder 672 is activated, the two clamping jaws 673 open to both sides, pushing the two push rods 626 to move to both sides, pushing the two blocking blocks 625 back into the movable slot 623, facilitating the threading operation.

[0046] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
