Abstract
Claims
1. A short cylindrical bearing cover plate installation device, characterized in that: The system includes a workstation with the following sections from front to back: a roller and cage base mounting station, a flipping station, an inspection station, a defective product rejection station, and a cage cover mounting station. The workstation has a clamping mechanism for transferring workpieces at its front. The roller and cage base mounting station has a roller feeding mechanism and a cage base feeding mechanism at its rear. The flipping station has a flipping mechanism for turning the workpiece over. The inspection station has a cage inspection mechanism at its rear. The defective product rejection station has a defective product collector at its front and a defective product unloading cylinder with a defective product unloading pusher at its rear. The cage cover mounting station has a cage cover mounting mechanism on one side. The roller feeding mechanism includes a roller storage cylinder, a roller discharge pipe, a roller loading head, a tooling disc, and a roller rotation drive device for driving the tooling disc to rotate. The roller storage cylinder has several rollers and an equal number of roller discharge pipes. The discharge nozzles of the roller storage cylinders are connected to the upper ends of the roller discharge pipes. The roller storage cylinder is equipped with a vibration device. A roller joint that can move laterally is also provided on one side of the roller discharge pipe. One of the roller joints can be connected to the discharge nozzle at the lower end of the roller discharge pipe to discharge rollers. The lower end of the roller joint is connected to a flexible conveying pipe, which is connected to the roller loading head. The cage base loading mechanism includes a cage base storage rack, a first cage base transfer robot, a cage base relay station, and a second cage base transfer robot. The starting point of the first cage base transfer robot is the cage base storage rack, and the ending point of the first cage base transfer robot is the cage base relay station. The starting point of the second cage base transfer robot is the cage base relay station, and the ending point of the second cage base transfer robot is the tooling tray loaded with rollers. The flipping mechanism includes a type II platform and a rotary cylinder that drives the type II platform to rotate 180 degrees. The type II platforms are symmetrically arranged with the workpiece space in the middle. The cage inspection mechanism includes an inspection frame, which is equipped with an inspection light source and a vision unit for aligning the inspection station. The retainer cover installation mechanism includes a retainer cover storage rack, below which is a retainer cover picking platform. The retainer cover picking platform is driven by a picking platform driving unit and can extend with the retainer cover. It also includes a retainer cover transfer robot. The starting point of the retainer cover transfer robot is the extended retainer cover picking platform, and the ending point of the retainer cover installation station. The gripper of the cage cover transfer robot is mounted on an angle-adjustable motor that can rotate 360 degrees, so that the gripper can rotate 360 degrees after clamping the cage cover; a workpiece fixing clamp is provided on the cage cover mounting station of the workstation.
2. The short cylindrical bearing cover sheet installation apparatus of claim 1, wherein: The angle adjustment motor has an elastic platform on its rotating shaft. The elastic platform includes an upper plate and a lower plate. The rotating shaft is fixed to the upper plate, and the clamping claw is fixed to the lower plate. The upper plate has several guide posts and springs facing downward. The lower plate has several guide holes that fit onto the guide posts. The lower end of the spring is located on the lower plate.
3. The short cylindrical bearing cover sheet installation apparatus of claim 2, wherein: The gripping method of the gripper of the cage cover transfer robot is external support gripping.
4. The short cylindrical bearing cover sheet installation apparatus of claim 1, wherein: The roller loading head and the cage base transfer robot share a single XY displacement drive unit.
5. The short cylindrical bearing cover sheet installation apparatus of claim 1, wherein: Both the defective product rejection station and the retainer cover installation station are equipped with lifting cylinders at their lower ends, which can be lifted to the upper position for easy installation.
6. The short cylindrical bearing cover sheet installation apparatus of claim 1, wherein: The clamping mechanism includes six sets of grippers, each set of grippers including a left gripper arm and a right gripper arm. The left gripper arms of different sets of grippers are connected by connecting strips and driven in a unified manner, and the right gripper arms of different sets of grippers are also driven in a unified manner in the same way.
