[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is:

[0005] A bearing assembly machine, comprising:

[0006] The conveyor belt moves intermittently in the horizontal direction. Multiple bearing outer rings are placed at equal intervals on the conveyor belt, and an inner ring is placed inside each outer ring.

[0007] The pressure roller is located on one side of the conveyor belt and can reciprocate in a direction perpendicular to the conveyor belt;

[0008] The drive wheel is located at the other end of the conveyor belt;

[0010] A conveying pipe is provided at one end vertically above the conveyor belt, and the conveying pipe contains ball bearings.

[0011] Optionally, there are two pressure rollers, and the distance between the two pressure rollers and the power roller is equal;

[0012] The pressure roller is mounted on a first driving member, which drives the pressure roller to reciprocate in a direction perpendicular to the conveyor belt.

[0013] Optionally, it also includes:

[0014] The first support frame has two mounting parts, and each of the two mounting parts is rotatably provided with a pressure roller;

[0015] A base plate, wherein the first driving component is provided on the base plate;

[0016] The driving end of the first driving component is connected to the first support frame.

[0017] Optionally, the base plate has a first groove for the first support frame to slide.

[0018] Optionally, it also includes:

[0019] The second support frame has its top fixedly connected to the motor and rotatably connected to the drive wheel;

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0026] First, the outer ring of the bearing moves along with the conveyor belt. The inner ring of the bearing is placed inside the outer ring manually, and the positions of the inner and outer rings are adjusted by a corresponding position adjustment mechanism to make the distance between two adjacent outer rings on the conveyor belt equal.

[0027] When the conveyor belt transports the outer and inner rings between the pressure roller and the drive roller, the pressure roller presses the outer ring onto the drive roller. At this time, the axes of the inner and outer rings deviate, and the balls are transported through the conveyor pipe to the side with a larger distance between the inner and outer rings. Then, the drive roller drives the outer ring to rotate, causing the position of the balls between the inner and outer rings to change, thus making the balls evenly distributed between the inner and outer rings, completing the assembly.

[0028] This technical solution only requires manual placement of the inner ring inside the outer ring, which can significantly improve the assembly efficiency of the entire bearing. Attached Figure Description

[0035] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] Example:

[0037] See Figure 1 and Figure 2This embodiment discloses a bearing assembly machine, including a conveyor belt 10, a pressure roller 20, a power wheel 30, a motor 40, and a conveying pipe 50. The conveyor belt 10 moves intermittently in a horizontal direction. Multiple outer rings 61 of bearings 60 are placed on the conveyor belt 10, and an inner ring 62 of bearing 60 is placed inside the outer ring 61 of each bearing 60. All the outer rings 61 on the conveyor belt 10 are placed at equal intervals.

[0038] Generally, an adjustment mechanism for the outer ring 61, such as a timed baffle, is installed upstream of the conveyor belt 10. By moving up and down above the conveyor belt 10 at regular intervals, the position of the outer ring 61 is adjusted to ensure that the distance between two adjacent outer rings 61 is equal.

[0039] The pressure roller 20 is located on one side of the conveyor belt 10. The axis of the pressure roller 20 is set in the vertical direction. The pressure roller 20 can also move back and forth on the horizontal plane. The direction of movement of the pressure roller 20 is perpendicular to the direction of movement of the conveyor belt 10, so that the pressure roller 20 can move above the conveyor belt 10.

[0040] The drive wheel 30 is located on the other side of the conveyor belt 10. The axis of the drive wheel 30 is parallel to the axis of the pressure wheel 20, and the specifications of the drive wheel 30 are the same as those of the pressure wheel 20.

[0041] One end of the conveying pipe 50 is positioned vertically above the conveyor belt 10, and the conveyor belt 10 contains ball bearings.

[0042] After the conveyor belt 10 transports the outer ring 61 between the pressure roller 20 and the power roller 30, the end of the conveyor pipe 50 is located above the outer ring 61, and the end of the conveyor pipe 50 is also close to the side of the outer ring 61. At the same time, the projection of the end of the conveyor pipe 50 on the conveyor belt 10 is located inside the outer ring 61.

[0043] During operation, the outer ring 61 of the bearing 60 first moves along with the conveyor belt 10. The inner ring 62 of the bearing 60 is placed inside the outer ring 61 by manual means, and the positions of the inner ring 62 and the outer ring 61 of the bearing 60 are adjusted by the corresponding position adjustment mechanism so that the distance between two adjacent outer rings 61 on the conveyor belt 10 is equal.

[0044] When the conveyor belt 10 transports the outer ring 61 and the inner ring 62 between the pressure roller 20 and the drive roller 30, the pressure roller 20 presses the outer ring 61 onto the drive roller. At this time, the axes of the inner ring 62 and the outer ring 61 deviate, so the ball bearings are transported through the conveyor pipe 50 to the side where the distance between the inner ring 62 and the outer ring 61 is larger. Then, the drive roller 30 drives the outer ring 61 to rotate, causing the position of the ball bearings between the inner ring 62 and the outer ring 61 to change, so that the ball bearings are evenly distributed between the inner ring 62 and the outer ring 61, thus completing the assembly.

[0045] Generally, a counter and a valve can also be installed on the delivery pipe 50 to control the number of balls that fall below the delivery pipe 50 each time.

[0046] This technical solution only requires manual placement of the inner ring 62 inside the outer ring 61, which can significantly improve the assembly efficiency of the entire bearing 60.

[0047] In one specific embodiment:

[0048] There are two pressure rollers 20, both of which are set on the same side of the conveyor belt 10. The two pressure rollers 20 are equally spaced from the power wheel 30, and there is also a certain distance between the two pressure rollers 20 themselves.

[0049] During operation, the two pressure rollers 20 move synchronously. In this embodiment, when the pressure rollers 20 drive the outer ring 61 to move, by setting two pressure rollers 20, the outer surface of the outer ring 61 has two force points, which ensures that the movement path of the outer ring 61 is the same as the movement path of the pressure rollers 20, and no deviation occurs. In addition, when both pressure rollers 20 and one power wheel 30 are in contact with the outer surface of the outer ring 61, the position of the outer ring 61 can be fixed, so that when the power wheel 30 rotates, the outer ring 61 can only rotate around its own axis.

[0050] Therefore, by setting two pressure rollers 20, the stability of the outer ring 61 during movement can be ensured.

[0051] Preferably, both pressure rollers 20 are mounted on a first driving member 21, and the driving end of the first driving member 21 is used to drive the two pressure rollers 20 to reciprocate in a direction perpendicular to the conveyor belt 10.

[0052] In another specific embodiment:

[0053] The assembly machine also includes a first support frame 22 and a base plate 70. The first support frame 22 has two mounting parts, and a pressure roller 20 is mounted on each of the two mounting parts. The axes of the two pressure rollers 20 are parallel to each other and are both arranged in the vertical direction.

[0054] The bottom end of the first support frame 22 is slidably connected to the base plate 70, wherein the base plate 70 is located below the conveyor belt 10, and the base plate 70 has a first slide groove 71 for the first support frame 22 to slide, the length direction of the first slide groove 71 being parallel to the moving direction of the two pressure rollers 20.

[0055] The aforementioned first drive component 21 is mounted on the base plate 70.

[0056] In this embodiment, a base plate 70 is provided to provide an installation position for the first drive component 21. In addition, the first sliding groove 71 on the base plate 70 restricts the movement direction of the first support frame 22 and the pressure roller 20.

[0057] In another specific embodiment:

[0058] The assembly machine also includes a second support frame 31 and a second drive component 32. The top of the second support frame 31 is fixedly connected to the motor 40, and the aforementioned drive wheel 30 is rotatably mounted on the top of the second support frame 31.

[0059] The second drive unit 32 is also mounted on the base plate 70. The drive end of the second drive unit 32 is connected to the second support frame 31, thereby driving the second support frame 31 to move through the second drive unit 32, and then driving the power wheel 30 to move in a direction perpendicular to the conveyor belt 10.

[0060] Preferably, a second sliding groove 72 is also provided on the base plate 70, and the bottom end of the second support frame 31 is slidably disposed in the second sliding groove 72.

[0061] In this embodiment, the second driving member 32 drives the power wheel 30 to move, which in turn cooperates with the movement of the pressure wheel 20 to achieve rapid adjustment of the position of the outer ring 61, so that the maximum gap between the inner ring 62 and the outer ring 61 is just below the end of the conveying pipe 50.

[0062] In another specific embodiment:

[0063] The other end of the conveying pipe 50 away from the conveyor belt 10 is set in an inclined direction, and an elastic tube is provided on this end of the conveying pipe 50. The conveying pipe 50 is located on the output end of a third drive unit 51.

[0064] The third driving member 51 is arranged in the horizontal direction and is used to drive the conveying pipe 50 to reciprocate in the horizontal direction.

[0065] In this embodiment, the third driving member 51 drives the conveying pipe 50 to move, thereby adjusting the position of the end of the conveying pipe 50 to align with the maximum gap between the inner ring 62 and the outer ring 61. By providing an elastic tube, a certain amount of room for movement of the conveying pipe 50 can be provided.

[0066] In another specific embodiment:

[0067] The first driving component 21, the second driving component 32, and the third driving component 51 can be any one of a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or a linear drive motor, or other mechanisms capable of linear drive.

[0068] The embodiments described above merely illustrate specific implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
