[0026] 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.
[0027] Please see Figure 1-6In this embodiment of the invention, the semi-automatic O-ring assembly machine includes a base plate 1 and a housing 36 covering the base plate 1. An O-ring feeding mechanism 2 for feeding O-rings is provided on one side of the base plate 1, and an O-ring pushing mechanism 3 for pushing the fed O-rings is provided on one side of the feeding mechanism 2. An O-ring assembly mechanism 4 for assembling the O-rings pushed by the pushing mechanism 3 is provided on the other side of the feeding mechanism 2. An oil extraction device 5 is connected to the O-ring assembly mechanism 4. A ring-fitting rod 13 is inserted between the feeding mechanism 2 and the assembly mechanism 4. Thus, when O-rings are manually stacked inside the feeding mechanism 2, the feeding mechanism 2 feeds the O-rings one by one, while simultaneously the manual feeding of O-rings from one side of the assembly mechanism 4 onto the O-rings. The O-ring pusher 13 inside mechanism 2 allows the O-ring pusher mechanism 3 to grab and pull the pusher 13, causing the O-ring pusher 13 to pass through the O-ring unloading mechanism 2 and through the O-rings that fall into the O-ring unloading mechanism 2 one by one, thus putting the O-rings on the O-ring pusher 13. At this time, the O-ring unloading mechanism 2 pushes the O-ring pusher 13 outward, causing the O-ring pusher 13 to move from the O-ring unloading mechanism 2 into the O-ring assembly mechanism 4. During this process, the oil extraction device 5 extracts the lubricating oil stored inside into the O-ring assembly mechanism 4, so that the lubricating oil can drip onto the O-ring to lubricate it. The O-ring assembly mechanism 4 also holds the parts to be assembled with the O-ring on one side. Thus, when the pusher 13 is pushed again manually, the O-ring and the lubricating oil are used to assemble the O-ring and the parts.
[0028] The O-ring feeding mechanism 2 includes an O-ring vibrating plate 6 mounted on a base plate 1, and an O-ring feeding plate 7 mounted on one side of the O-ring vibrating plate 6 and connected to it for transport. The O-ring feeding plate 7 is vertically mounted on the base plate 1, and is equipped with O-ring intercepting cylinders 8 arranged in an alternating pattern inside it. The O-rings stacked inside the O-ring vibrating plate 6 are vibrated and transported to the O-ring feeding plate 7, and then the O-rings falling into the O-ring feeding plate 7 are intercepted one by one by the O-rings through the O-ring intercepting cylinders 8, so that the O-rings inside the O-ring feeding plate 7 can be dropped one by one in the future.
[0029] The O-ring feeding plate 7 is provided with a first positioning block 12, and both sides of the first positioning block 12 are provided with a support member 10 to receive O-rings falling from inside the O-ring feeding plate 7. The support member 10 is positioned above the first positioning block 12 and can be closed or opened on both sides. The support member 10 is provided with a first slider 9 that can move on both sides of the first positioning block 12, and the first slider 9 is slidably engaged with the O-ring feeding plate 7. The first slider 9 is also provided with a first spring 11 that connects the support member 10 to close and reset above the first positioning block 12. When the O-ring intercepting cylinder 8 intercepts and releases the O-rings falling into the O-ring feeding plate 7 one by one, the O-rings fall one by one onto the support member. At point 10, the man-made ring rod 13 is pushed through the space between the support members 10 and through the O-ring placed between the support members 10. As the ring rod 13 passes through the support members 10, the cooperation between the first slider 9 and the first spring 11 causes the support members 10 to move away from the first positioning block 12, causing the O-ring fitted on the ring rod 13 to detach from the support members 10. The O-ring is then fitted onto the ring rod 13 and moves together with the ring rod 13 until the ring rod 13 and the O-ring have completely passed through the space between the support members 10. Then, under the elastic cooperation of the first slider 9 and the first spring 11, the support members 10 are closed again above the first positioning block 11 to catch the next falling O-ring.
[0030] The O-ring feeding plate 7 is also equipped with a through-beam sensor 14 for detecting the ring rod 13. The through-beam sensors 14 are located on both sides of the O-ring feeding plate 7 and are electrically connected to the O-ring pushing mechanism 3. When the through-beam sensor 14 detects that the ring rod 13 has passed through the inside of the O-ring feeding plate 7, it will drive the O-ring pushing mechanism 3 to grab and pull the ring rod 13.
[0031] The O-ring pushing mechanism 3 includes a mounting frame (not shown in the figure) disposed on one side of the O-ring unloading mechanism 2. A second positioning block 19 is vertically disposed on one side of the mounting frame. A drag member 20 is disposed on both sides above the second positioning block 19. The drag member 20 is provided with a second spring 21 that is elastically slidably connected to the mounting frame. The second spring 21 causes the drag member 20 to close or open on both sides above the second positioning block 19, thereby clamping the ring rod 13. Through the movement of the mounting frame and the drag member 20, the ring rod 13 is clamped and pulled when it passes through the O-ring unloading mechanism 2. This further causes the O-ring inside the O-ring unloading mechanism 2 to move out of the O-ring unloading mechanism 2 as the ring rod 13 moves.
[0032] A third slider 17 is slidably disposed above the mounting bracket. At the upper and lower ends of the third slider 17 facing the drag member 20, there are respectively a spreading rod 24 that moves synchronously with it and spreads the drag member 20, and a pushing rod 23 that pushes the ring rod 13. The mounting bracket is also provided with a second pushing cylinder 18 that drives the third slider 17 to move above it. The third slider 17 is then driven to move to one side of the drag member 20 by the second pushing cylinder 18. During the movement, the spreading rod 24 will be inserted between the drag members 20. As the third slider 17 moves forward, the spreading rod 24 gradually spreads the drag member 20. At the same time, the pushing rod 23 will abut against one end of the ring rod 13 and push the ring rod 13 out from between the spread drag members 20 and push it back into the O-ring assembly mechanism 4.
[0033] A second slider 15 is provided between the mounting bracket and the base plate 1, and the second slider 15 is located on the base plate 1. The mounting bracket is slidably mounted on the second slider 15. A first push cylinder 16 is provided on one side of the mounting bracket to drive it to move on the base plate 1. The first push cylinder 16 is located on the base plate 1. Thus, through the pushing of the first push cylinder 16 and the sliding cooperation between it and the second slider 15, the mounting bracket can move on the base plate 1.
[0034] A fourth slider 22 is also provided between the drag member 20 and the mounting frame. The fourth slider 22 moves synchronously with the drag member 20 and slides with the mounting frame, so that the drag member 20 can slide on one side of the mounting frame via the fourth slider 22.
[0035] The O-ring assembly mechanism 4 includes a support frame (not shown in the figure) mounted on the base plate 1, and the support frame is vertically located on the other side of the O-ring feeding mechanism 2. A fifth slider 25 is slidably mounted on both sides above the support frame, and a ring seat 27 that moves synchronously with the fifth slider 25 is mounted on one side of the fifth slider 25. An oil-absorbing cotton 30 that moves synchronously with the ring 27 is mounted on one side inside the ring seat 27, and an oil extraction device 5 is connected to the ring seat 27. When the O-ring pushing mechanism 3 pushes the ring rod 13 back to the O-ring assembly mechanism 4, the ring rod 13 is located inside the ring seat 27. At this time, the oil extraction device 5 extracts lubricating oil into the oil-absorbing cotton 30 inside the ring seat 27. When the ring rod 13 is pushed between the ring seats 27, the lubricating oil absorbed inside the oil-absorbing cotton 30 will be applied to the O-ring and play a role in lubricating the O-ring, so that the O-ring can be better slidably assembled onto the parts later.
[0036] A third spring 26 is provided between the fifth slider 25 and the support frame, and the third spring 26 is located on both sides above the support frame. The third spring 26 is elastically connected to the fifth slider 25. Through the elastic sliding cooperation between the fifth slider 25 and the third spring 26, the ring seat 27 is driven to open and close, and the ring rod 13 is clamped. A storage box 29 is provided between the support frame and the fifth slider 25, and the storage box 29 is horizontally mounted at the bottom of the support frame. For this purpose, the storage box 29 can collect excess lubricating oil from the ring seat 27 or O-rings that fall off when the ring rod 13 moves inside the ring seat 27, so that workers can remove the storage box 29 and clean its contents.
[0037] The front end of the ring rod 13 is formed with a cone head 33 for inserting into the O-ring pusher mechanism 3, and a drag member locking position 35 is formed between the cone head 33 and the ring rod 13 to engage with the O-ring pusher mechanism 3. The outer side of the ring rod 13 is formed with a ramp 34 for sliding the O-ring, and the rear end of the ring rod 13 is formed with a part placement position 31 for placing parts. An O-ring locking position 32 for placing O-rings is provided between the part placement position 31 and the ring rod 13, and the O-ring locking position 32 is formed on the ring rod 13.
[0038] The housing 36 is equipped with a touch screen 37, which is located on the outside of the housing 36. The touch screen 37 is electrically connected to the O-ring feeding mechanism 2, the O-ring pushing mechanism 3, the O-ring assembly mechanism 4, and the oil extraction device 5, respectively. Thus, the O-ring feeding mechanism 2, the O-ring pushing mechanism 3, the O-ring assembly mechanism 4, and the oil extraction device 5 can be electrically controlled and driven through the touch screen 37.
[0039] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description.
