Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical equipment technology, specifically to a carrier and nut assembly machine. Background Technology

[0002] In modern industrial production, nut assembly machines are widely used in various mechanical manufacturing fields. Their main function is to precisely assemble nuts onto corresponding product components. In such equipment, the carrier plays a crucial role. It is mainly used to carry and accurately position the products to be assembled, and relies on the product conveying mechanism, such as a belt or chain, to sequentially transport them to the nut pressing station.

[0003] However, most carriers in existing technologies have relatively simple structures, typically providing only a bearing cavity or plane that basically matches the product's contour, supplemented by a limited number of positioning blocks. This fixing method is acceptable under static conditions, but during dynamic conveying, due to the inertia or vibration generated by the start-stop and speed changes of the conveying mechanism, the product is very prone to sliding or shifting within the carrier. This slight positional deviation will directly cause alignment errors between the pre-set nut groove on the product and the pressing mechanism, seriously affecting the pressing accuracy of the nut and the assembly success rate, and may even cause damage to the product or equipment.

[0004] Therefore, developing a highly stable carrier that can reliably lock the product and effectively resist transport interference is particularly urgent for improving the assembly accuracy and reliability of the entire nut assembly machine. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a carrier and nut assembly machine that can firmly lock the product to be assembled, effectively preventing slippage or displacement caused by inertia or vibration during dynamic conveying, thereby improving the pressing accuracy of the nut and the assembly success rate, and ensuring product quality and production efficiency.

[0006] This utility model provides a carrier, the technical solution of which is: a carrier, including a carrier body, a first groove formed on the carrier body for accommodating a product, a second groove formed on the carrier body and communicating with the first groove, and a limiting mechanism disposed in the second groove for limiting the product; The limiting mechanism includes a fixed seat fixedly disposed in the second groove, a sliding seat movably disposed in the fixed seat, and an elastic member for providing elastic force to the sliding seat so that the sliding seat abuts against the product. The fixed seat has a first sliding groove on the side facing the first groove that slides with the sliding seat. The sliding seat can move along the first sliding groove towards the first groove under the action of the elastic member, and at least partially extend out of the first sliding groove to abut against the side wall of the product.

[0007] Optionally, both sides of the fixed seat are provided with fixed grooves communicating with the first sliding groove. The length direction of the fixed groove is parallel to the sliding direction of the sliding seat. The elastic element includes a spring located in the fixed groove. The spring is arranged along the length direction of the fixed groove, and the two ends of the spring abut against the side wall of the sliding seat and the groove wall of the fixed groove away from the first sliding groove, respectively.

[0008] Optionally, a guide rod is fixedly provided in the second groove. One end of the guide rod abuts against the inner wall of the second groove away from the first groove. The other end of the guide rod passes through the fixed groove and is slidably connected to the sliding seat. The spring is wrapped around the outside of the end of the guide rod that extends into the fixed groove.

[0009] Optionally, the sliding seat includes a sliding part and an abutting part. The abutting part slides and engages with the first sliding groove and extends at least partially out of the first sliding groove to abut against the side wall of the product. The fixed seat also has a second sliding groove that communicates with the first sliding groove and slides and engages with the sliding part.

[0010] Optionally, a slider is provided on the side of the sliding part away from the abutment part, and a relief groove adapted to the slider is provided on the fixed base.

[0011] Optionally, a push block is fixedly provided on the top of the slider. The push block protrudes from the top surface of the fixed seat through a relief groove. The push block is used to push the sliding part to move away from the product under the drive of an external force so that the abutting part of the sliding seat separates from the product.

[0012] Optionally, the abutting part is provided with a limiting groove for limiting the product.

[0013] Optionally, the abutting part is further provided with a third sliding groove, and the first sliding groove is provided with a guide strip that slides in cooperation with the third sliding groove.

[0014] Optionally, the carrier body is provided with a cover plate for closing the second groove, and the cover plate has a clearance opening for the slider and push block to extend out.

[0015] This application also provides a nut assembly machine, including the carrier described above.

[0016] After adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: When in use, this application provides elastic force to the sliding seat through the elastic element of the limiting mechanism, causing the sliding seat to move relative to the fixed seat towards the first groove and press against the side wall of the product, thereby limiting and fixing the product and preventing the product from sliding or shifting due to inertia or vibration during dynamic conveying. This improves the pressing accuracy of the nut and the assembly success rate, ensuring product quality and production efficiency. The structure is compact, practical, and conducive to market promotion. Attached Figure Description

[0023] This embodiment provides a vehicle, referring to... Figures 1-7 It includes a carrier body 100, a first groove 10 formed on the carrier body 100 for accommodating a product 200, a second groove 20 formed on the carrier body 100 and communicating with the first groove 10, and a limiting mechanism 30 provided in the second groove 20 for limiting the product 200.

[0024] Specifically, the limiting mechanism 30 includes a fixed seat 31 fixedly disposed in the second groove 20, a sliding seat 32 movably disposed in the fixed seat 31, and an elastic member for providing elastic force to the sliding seat 32 so that the sliding seat 32 abuts against the product 200. The fixed seat 31 has a first sliding groove 311 on the side facing the first groove 10 that slides and engages with the sliding seat 32. The sliding seat 32 can move along the first sliding groove 311 toward the first groove 10 under the action of the elastic member, and at least partially extend out of the first sliding groove 311 to abut against the side wall of the product 200.

[0025] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, when the product 200 is accommodated in the first groove 10, a portion of the product 200 is located in the second groove 20. At this time, the sliding seat 32 of the limiting mechanism 30 is located in the second groove 20 and abuts against the portion of the product 200 extending into the second groove 20, thereby limiting and fixing the product 200. In other embodiments, the product 200 can be configured to be completely accommodated in the first groove 10, and the sliding seat 32 of the limiting mechanism 30 is configured to extend into the first groove 10 and abut against the product 200, thereby limiting and fixing the product 200.

[0026] When product 200 is placed in the first groove 10, the sliding seat 32 automatically abuts against the side wall of product 200 under the action of the elastic element, thereby limiting and fixing product 200, preventing product 200 from shaking or shifting on the carrier body 100, and avoiding sliding or displacement of product 200 due to inertia or vibration during dynamic transportation. This improves the pressing accuracy of the nut and the assembly success rate, ensuring the quality of product 200 and production efficiency. Simultaneously, in specific implementation, to enhance the stability and reliability of the limiting mechanism 30, the shape and size of the sliding seat 32 can be adapted to the side wall of product 200 to ensure that the sliding seat 32 can fit tightly against the side wall of product 200 and provide sufficient limiting force. The shape and size of the first groove 311 can also be optimized to guide the sliding seat 32 to slide smoothly in a predetermined direction, avoiding jamming or shifting.

[0027] Furthermore, both sides of the fixed seat 31 are provided with fixed grooves 312 that communicate with the first sliding groove 311. The length direction of the fixed groove 312 is parallel to the sliding direction of the sliding seat 32. The elastic element includes a spring 33 located in the fixed groove 312. The spring 33 is arranged along the length direction of the fixed groove 312, and the two ends of the spring 33 abut against the side wall of the sliding seat 32 and the groove wall of the fixed groove 312 away from the first sliding groove 311, respectively.

[0028] When the sliding seat 32 slides in the first slide groove 311, the spring 33 deforms and generates elastic force, so that the sliding seat 32 can always be pressed against the side wall of the product 200, ensuring the stability of the product 200 on the carrier body 100 and preventing displacement relative to the carrier body 100 during the dynamic transportation of the product 200.

[0029] Furthermore, a guide rod 11 is fixedly provided in the second groove 20. One end of the guide rod 11 abuts against the inner wall of the second groove 20 away from the first groove 10. The other end of the guide rod 11 passes into the fixed groove 312 and is slidably connected to the sliding seat 32. A spring 33 is wrapped around the outside of the end of the guide rod 11 that extends into the fixed groove 312.

[0030] The guide rod 11 further enhances the stability and guidance of the sliding seat 32 during the sliding process. When the sliding seat 32 slides along the first groove 311, the guide rod 11 provides a stable sliding trajectory for the sliding seat 32. At the same time, by inserting itself into the fixing groove 312 and cooperating with the spring 33, it ensures that the spring 33 can be evenly stressed during deformation, thereby providing more stable elastic support for the sliding seat 32. This allows the sliding seat 32 to be stably pressed against the side wall of the product 200, providing a more reliable positioning basis for subsequent nut assembly.

[0031] Furthermore, the sliding seat 32 includes a sliding part 321 and an abutting part 322. The abutting part 322 slides and engages with the first slide groove 311 and extends at least partially out of the first slide groove 311 to abut against the side wall of the product 200. The fixed seat 31 also has a second slide groove 313 that communicates with the first slide groove 311 and slides and engages with the sliding part 321.

[0032] The sliding part 321 and the abutment part 322 make the sliding seat 32 more flexible and adaptable in structure. The sliding part 321 can slide freely within the second groove 313, while the abutment part 322 is responsible for tightly fitting against the side wall of the product 200. This ensures the stable movement of the sliding seat 32 on the carrier body 100, and also ensures that the product 200 can be firmly fixed in the predetermined position. When the carrier body 100 is dynamically transported or adjusted, the sliding seat 32 can move smoothly along with it, while the abutment part 322 always provides stable support force to prevent unnecessary displacement or tilting of the product 200.

[0033] Furthermore, a slider 3211 is provided on the side of the sliding part 321 away from the abutment part 322, and a relief groove 314 adapted to the slider 3211 is provided on the fixed base 31.

[0034] The cooperation between the slider 3211 and the relief groove 314 provides additional guidance and stability for the sliding part 321 to slide within the second slide groove 313, while limiting the offset of the sliding seat 32 during movement. When the sliding seat 32 slides along the preset path, the slider 3211 will fit tightly within the relief groove 314, effectively reducing the positional displacement of the sliding seat 32 caused by shaking or external force interference.

[0035] Furthermore, a push block 3212 is fixedly provided on the top of the slider 3211. The push block 3212 protrudes from the top surface of the fixed seat 31 through the relief groove 314. The push block 3212 is used to push the sliding part 321 to move away from the product 200 under the drive of external force so that the abutting part 322 of the sliding seat 32 is separated from the product 200.

[0036] When an external force is applied to the push block 3212 and it is pushed to move away from the product 200, the sliding part 321 moves away from the product 200, thereby separating the sliding seat 32 from the product 200. That is, by operating the push block 3212, the sliding seat 32 is separated from the product 200, which improves the convenience and safety of operation.

[0037] Furthermore, the contact portion 322 is provided with a limiting groove 3221 for limiting the product 200.

[0038] By setting the limiting groove 3221, the contact part 322 and the product 200 are more tightly connected. The shape and size of the limiting groove 3221 can be designed according to the shape and specifications of the product 200 to ensure that the product 200 can be stably placed on the carrier and prevent shaking or displacement during assembly.

[0039] Furthermore, a third groove 3222 is provided on the contact part 322, and a guide strip 315 is provided in the first groove 311 to slide in cooperation with the third groove 3222.

[0040] The guide bar 315, in cooperation with the third slide groove 3222, further enhances the connection stability between the abutment part 322 and the fixed seat 31. When the abutment part 322 slides relative to the first slide groove 311, the guide bar 315 will slide smoothly within the third slide groove 3222, further ensuring the stable movement of the sliding seat 32, while reducing problems such as poor sliding or positional displacement caused by friction or external force interference.

[0041] Furthermore, the carrier body 100 is provided with a cover plate 40 for closing the second groove 20, and the cover plate 40 is provided with a relief opening 41 for the slider 3211 and the push block 3212 to extend out.

[0042] The cover plate 40 not only seals the second groove 20, effectively preventing dust, debris, and other impurities from entering the second groove 20 and ensuring the cleanliness of the sliding seat 32 and its related components, but also provides convenience for operation. The sliding block 3211 and push block 3212 extend through the clearance opening 41, allowing the operator to perform the corresponding sliding and pushing actions without being obstructed by the cover plate 40.

[0043] In addition, this application also provides a nut assembly machine, which includes a product 200 conveying mechanism and a carrier as described above. The product 200 conveying mechanism includes a conveyor belt, and there are multiple carriers. The multiple carriers are evenly fixed on the conveyor belt along the length direction of the conveyor belt. A mounting seat 50 is provided on the side of the carrier away from the first groove 10 and the second groove 20, so that the carrier can be fixed on the conveyor belt through the mounting seat 50.

[0044] The above description is only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and is not intended to limit it. Any other modifications or equivalent substitutions made by those skilled in the art to the technical solution of this utility model, as long as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
