Detailed Implementation

[0027] The technical solutions of this application will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments, but this application is not limited to these embodiments.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment proposes a feeding mechanism, including a first linear drive assembly 11, a second linear drive assembly 12 and a clamping assembly 13. The first linear drive assembly 11 has a first moving platform 14, the second linear drive assembly 12 is mounted on the first moving platform 14, and the second linear drive assembly 12 has a second moving platform 15, which is used to mount the clamping assembly 13.

[0029] The direction of movement of the first mobile platform 14 is perpendicular to the direction of movement of the second mobile platform 15;

[0030] The clamping assembly 13 is provided with a plurality of first clamping elements 16.

[0031] This solution enables precise product feeding, with each first clamping member 16 on the clamping assembly 13 clamping one product.

[0032] The first linear drive assembly 11 operates, and the first moving platform 14 moves a specified distance, moving each product a specified distance in the feeding direction. Then, each first clamping member 16 releases, and the second moving platform 15 moves a specified distance away from the product to separate the first clamping member 16 from the product. Then, the first moving platform 14 returns to its initial position in the opposite direction of the feeding direction, and then the second moving platform 15 moves towards the product, while each first clamping member 16 clamps one product. The aforementioned steps are repeated to achieve the sequential transfer of products.

[0033] This solution has the advantages of stable feeding and high distance control accuracy, and can achieve the same pushing distance for the product each time in multiple pushes.

[0034] The feeding mechanism in this solution can move multiple products the same distance after one operation. Then, a product is added to the input end of the feeding mechanism to achieve continuous feeding of products. This facilitates the sequential delivery of products to multiple workstations, making the conveying convenient and improving the processing efficiency of the products.

[0035] Furthermore, the first moving platform 14 is set to move along the X-axis; the second moving platform 15 is set to move along the Y-axis.

[0036] Furthermore, the first linear drive assembly 11 has a first cylinder 19, which is mounted on the support platform 18 via a bracket. The first moving platform 14 is mounted on the support platform 18 via a first slide rail assembly 17. The first cylinder 19 and the first moving platform 14 are connected by threaded fixing or welding, and the first cylinder 19 is used to push the first moving platform 14. The second linear drive assembly 12 has a second cylinder 20, which is mounted on the first moving platform 14 via a bracket. The second moving platform 15 is mounted on the first moving platform 14 via a second slide rail assembly 43. The second cylinder 20 and the second moving platform 15 are connected by threaded fixing or welding, and the second cylinder 20 is used to push the second moving platform 15.

[0037] In a group of three or more first clamping members 16, the distance between two adjacent first clamping members 16 is equal, and the distance that the first cylinder 19 extends and retracts each time is equal to the distance between two adjacent first clamping members 16.

[0038] In this solution, the first cylinder 19 and the second cylinder 20 can be set to extend or retract, thereby enabling precise control of the position of the first clamping member 16 and improving the feeding accuracy.

[0039] In addition, a photoelectric switch can be installed on the support platform 18 to detect the position of the first moving platform 14, thereby improving the feeding accuracy.

[0040] As one embodiment of this invention, a plurality of first clamping members 16 are arranged in a linear array along the X-axis direction.

[0041] In addition, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this application also proposes a coupler pressing device for pressing the end cap 25 onto the coupler 21, including the above-mentioned feeding mechanism, and the first clamping member 16 for clamping the coupler 21.

[0042] It also includes a support platform 18, which is used to install the feeding mechanism.

[0043] Furthermore, it includes a pre-installation mechanism 22, which includes:

[0044] A fixing plate 23 is fixed at its lower end, and the pad is fixed to the support platform 18 by a fixing rod 24.

[0045] A feeding assembly is mounted on a support platform 18 and is used to place the end cap 25 on the upper end of the coupler 21.

[0046] Pre-compression assembly 26 is mounted on the fixed plate 23 and is used to mount the end cap 25 on the coupler 21.

[0047] The loading assembly includes a third moving platform 27 and a drive assembly 28. The drive assembly 28 is mounted on the support platform 18 and is used to drive the movement of the third moving platform 27. The end cap 25 is first placed on the third moving platform 27. The drive assembly 28 is in the form of a rodless cylinder, a linear motor, or a motor-driven lead screw and slider mechanism. Each of these drive assemblies 28 has a moving part for fixing the third moving platform 27.

[0048] The feeding assembly also has a third clamping member 29. A vertical plate 30 is fixed on the support platform 18, and a rotary cylinder 31 is fixed on the vertical plate 30. The third clamping member 29 is fixed on the output end of the rotary cylinder 31. The third clamping member 29 is used to clamp the end cap 25 on the third moving platform 27. Then, the rotary cylinder 31 drives the third clamping member 29 to rotate 180° to place the end cap 25 on the upper end of the coupler 21. Then, the third clamping member 29 is released, and the rotary cylinder 31 drives the third clamping member 29 back to its initial position.

[0049] The third clamping member 29 is eccentrically mounted on the output end of the rotary cylinder 31 to increase the delivery distance of the third clamping member 29 to the end cover 25 before and after flipping 180°.

[0050] Furthermore, the third clamping member 29 includes a mounting plate 32, a third cylinder 33, a fourth cylinder 34, a first clamping arm 35, and a second clamping arm 36. The mounting plate 32 is fixed to the output end of the rotary cylinder 31, and the cylinder bodies of the third cylinder 33 and the fourth cylinder 34 are respectively fixed to the mounting plate 32.

[0051] The piston rods of the third cylinder 33 and the fourth cylinder 34 extend and retract in parallel directions, and when extended, the piston rods of both cylinders point towards the side opposite to the first linear drive assembly 11. A first clamping arm 35 is fixed to the piston rod of the third cylinder 33, and a second clamping arm 36 is fixed to the piston rod of the fourth cylinder 34.

[0052] The mounting configuration of the third cylinder 33, the fourth cylinder 34, the first clamping arm 35, and the second clamping arm 36 in this design increases the rotation radius of the first clamping arm 35 and the second clamping arm 36. This allows for adjustment of the delivery distance of the third clamping component 29 to the end cap 25.

[0053] Furthermore, the pre-compression assembly 26 includes a linear motion mechanism 37, a vertical cylinder 38, and a pre-compression column 39. The linear motion mechanism 37 is mounted on the fixed plate 23 and has an output end that moves in a linear direction. A movable plate 44 is fixed on the output end of the linear motion mechanism 37. The movable plate 44 is used to fix the vertical cylinder 38. The vertical cylinder 38 has a telescopic rod that moves downward. The pre-compression column 39 is fixed to the lower end of the telescopic rod of the vertical cylinder 38.

[0054] Among them, the linear motion mechanism 37 is in the form of a rodless cylinder, a linear motor, or a motor-driven lead screw and slider mechanism.

[0055] The linear motion mechanism 37 drives the preload column 39 to adjust its position, and the vertical cylinder 38 drives the preload column 39 to move downwards, pressing the end cap 25 onto the inner hole of the coupler 21. The lower end of the preload column 39 has a guide post, and the upper end of the guide post has a conical surface, which is used to press the end cap 25 onto the coupler 21.

[0056] Furthermore, it also includes a stripping mechanism having a second clamping member 40 located above the coupler 21 for clamping the end cap 25 on the coupler 21, so that the preload column 39 can be detached from the end cap 25.

[0057] The unloading mechanism includes a Z-axis module 45, which is a slide cylinder as in the prior art. The second clamping member 40 is fixed to the output end of the Z-axis module 45, and the Z-axis module 45 is mounted on the fixed plate 23. When the second clamping member 40 detaches from the end cover 25, the Z-axis module 45 drives the second clamping member 40 to move upward, preventing the second clamping member 40 from obstructing the end cover 25.

[0058] Furthermore, it also includes a pressing mechanism having a pressing part 41 that moves in a vertical direction for pressing the end cap 25 against the upper end of the coupler 21.

[0059] The pressing station of the pressing mechanism and the pre-pressing station of the pre-pressing mechanism are located on the conveyor line of the coupler 21. The feeding mechanism is used to feed the couplers 21 at the pre-pressing station one by one onto the pressing mechanism. The pressing mechanism has a pressing cylinder 42, which has a downward-moving piston rod, on which a pressing part 41 is fixed. The pressing part 41 presses the end cap 25 tightly onto the coupler 21 by pressing it downward.

[0060] Furthermore, the first clamping member 16 and the second clamping member 40 in this solution are existing technologies. They can directly adopt clamping cylinders from the prior art, or they can be based on clamping cylinders with slide rails installed. The slide rails have two sliders, each with a clamping arm mounted on it. Each clamping finger of the clamping cylinder controls the movement of one slider. This paragraph is a description of the prior art. Additionally, the first clamping member 16 and the second clamping member 40 can also adopt other structures from the prior art.

[0061] For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
