Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of washing machine clutch assembly technology, specifically an intelligent calibration washing machine clutch assembly auxiliary device. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of the washing machine industry, consumers have increasingly stringent requirements for product performance, reliability, and quiet operation. As a key transmission component in washing machines that enables switching between washing and spin-drying functions, the assembly quality of the clutch plays a decisive role in the overall performance of the machine. Traditional washing machine clutch assembly processes mainly rely on manual operation or simple tooling fixtures, resulting in significant technical bottlenecks.
[0003] Currently, the assembly of washing machine clutches largely relies on manual operation or simple mechanical fixtures, which presents two major technical bottlenecks: First, traditional fixtures mostly use fixed-size clamping structures, which are difficult to adapt to the shape differences of different clutch models. This can easily lead to problems such as excessive clamping causing component deformation or excessive clamping causing positioning deviations, which not only reduces assembly efficiency but also increases the defect rate. Second, during manual calibration, due to the lack of precise positioning methods, it is difficult to control the error of the clutch installation angle and position, resulting in vibration, noise, and other faults in the transmission system after assembly, affecting the overall performance of the product.
[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides an intelligent calibration auxiliary device for assembling a washing machine clutch. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an intelligent calibration auxiliary device for assembling a washing machine clutch, thereby solving the aforementioned problems.

[0015] Beneficial effects
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0017] (1) In this intelligent calibration washing machine clutch assembly auxiliary device, the clamping mechanism involves rotating a handle to drive a bidirectional lead screw, causing the collar to move along the lead screw, which in turn drives the clamping cover to open and close symmetrically via a connecting rod. This design allows for flexible adjustment based on the size of the washing machine clutch, accurately clamping clutches of different specifications, avoiding clutch damage caused by improper clamping, and improving the stability and reliability of the assembly.
[0018] (2) The intelligent calibration washing machine clutch assembly auxiliary device uses a calibration and pushing mechanism to raise and lower the lifting rod and connecting plate via a first electric telescopic rod, allowing the height to be adjusted according to assembly requirements. Simultaneously, the cooperation between the threaded tube and the screw enables the moving block to move horizontally within the sliding groove of the connecting plate. Combined with the second electric telescopic rod driving the pushing rod, this allows for intelligent calibration and precise pushing of the clamped clutch, ensuring accurate clutch positioning during assembly and improving assembly precision and efficiency.
[0019] (3) The intelligent calibration washing machine clutch assembly auxiliary device has a controller that is electrically connected to each electric telescopic rod, enabling intelligent control of the device. Operators only need to issue commands through the controller, and the device can automatically complete a series of operations such as clamping, calibration, and pushing, reducing the difficulty and labor intensity of manual operation and improving the automation level and production efficiency of the assembly process.

[0025] 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.
[0026] Please see Figure 1-4A smart calibration washing machine clutch assembly auxiliary device includes a base 1, a controller 2 fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, and a clamping mechanism 3 provided on the top of the base 1.
[0027] The clamping mechanism 3 includes a stabilizing plate 31, a rotating tube 32 fixedly connected to the outside of the stabilizing plate 31, a rotating handle 33 rotatably connected inside the rotating tube 32, a bidirectional lead screw 34 fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating handle 33, a collar 35 threadedly connected to the outside of the bidirectional lead screw 34, a connecting rod 36 fixedly connected to the outside of the collar 35, a moving groove 37 opened inside the stabilizing plate 31, and a clamping cover 38 fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting rod 36.
[0028] Furthermore: the bidirectional lead screw 34 is rotatably connected to the inside of the stabilizing plate 31 by rotating the handle 33, the collars 35 are symmetrically distributed on the outside of the bidirectional lead screw 34, the connecting rod 36 is slidably connected to the inside of the moving groove 37, and the clamping cover 38 is symmetrically and slidably connected to the outside of the stabilizing plate 31 by the connecting rod 36.
[0029] It should be noted that the surface of the two-way lead screw 34 has two sections of threads with opposite directions of rotation. When rotating, the two sleeves 35 can move synchronously towards the center or to the sides to achieve symmetrical clamping action. The two symmetrically distributed clamping covers 38 are usually provided with elastic buffer material on their inner side, which can adapt to clutch components of different sizes and avoid surface damage during clamping.
[0030] As a further improvement of this utility model, a calibration pushing mechanism 4 is provided on the top of the base 1. The calibration pushing mechanism 4 includes a fixed plate 41. A first electric telescopic rod 42 is fixedly connected to the top outer side of the fixed plate 41. A lifting rod 43 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first electric telescopic rod 42. A connecting plate 44 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lifting rod 43. A slider 45 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the connecting plate 44. A lifting groove 46 is opened inside the fixed plate 41. A threaded tube 47 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the connecting plate 44. A screw 48 is threadedly connected inside the threaded tube 47. A moving block 49 is rotatably engaged on the outer side of the screw 48. A sliding groove 410 is opened inside the connecting plate 44. A second electric telescopic rod 411 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the moving block 49. A pushing rod 412 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the second electric telescopic rod 411.
[0031] Furthermore: the fixed plate 41 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 1; the first electric telescopic rod 42 is electrically connected to the controller 2; the connecting plate 44 is slidably connected to the outside of the fixed plate 41 through the cooperation of the lifting rod 43 and the slider 45; the slider 45 is slidably engaged inside the lifting groove 46; the screw 48 is rotatably connected inside the connecting plate 44; the moving block 49 is slidably engaged inside the sliding groove 410; the second electric telescopic rod 411 is electrically connected to the controller 2; and the end of the push rod 412 away from the second electric telescopic rod 411 is fixedly connected to the outside of the stabilizing plate 31.
[0032] It should be noted that: after receiving a signal from controller 2, the first electric telescopic rod 42 extends and retracts, driving the lifting rod 43 to move up and down, causing the connecting plate 44 to move vertically along the lifting groove 46 of the fixed plate 41. The cooperation between the slider 45 and the lifting groove 46 ensures stability during the lifting process and avoids shaking.
[0033] Specifically: The threaded tube 47 and the screw 48 form a helical transmission structure. When the screw 48 rotates, the threaded tube 47 drives the connecting plate 44 to move horizontally, thereby adjusting the position of the push rod 412 in the horizontal direction. The moving block 49 slides in the slide groove 410 and cooperates with the second electric telescopic rod 411 to finely adjust the extension length of the push rod 412 and precisely control the pushing force and displacement.
[0034] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.
[0035] Working principle: Before assembling the washing machine clutch, the clutch must be placed in the appropriate position of the clamping mechanism 3. The operator rotates the rotating handle 33. Since the double-acting lead screw 34 is rotatably connected to the inside of the stabilizing plate 31 through the rotating handle 33, the rotation of the rotating handle 33 will drive the double-acting lead screw 34 to rotate within the stabilizing plate 31. The double-acting lead screw 34 has a double-acting thread structure, and the collars 35 are symmetrically distributed on the outside of the double-acting lead screw 34 and threadedly connected to it. When the double-acting lead screw 34 rotates, according to the thread transmission principle, the two collars 35 will move along the double-acting thread. The rod 34 moves in opposite or opposite directions, and the movement of the collar 35 is transmitted through the connecting rod 36. Because the connecting rod 36 is fixedly connected to the outside of the collar 35 and slidably connected in the moving groove 37, the connecting rod 36 will slide in the moving groove 37 when the collar 35 moves. The clamping cover 38 is fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting rod 36. Thus, the two clamping covers 38 will move closer or further away from each other as the connecting rod 36 moves, thereby realizing the clamping or releasing action of the washing machine clutch to adapt to clutches of different sizes and clamp them firmly for easy subsequent assembly operations.
[0036] After the clutch is fixed by the clamping mechanism 3, the calibration and pushing mechanism 4 starts to work to calibrate and push the clutch. First, the controller 2 sends a command to the first electric telescopic rod 42. Since the first electric telescopic rod 42 is electrically connected to the controller 2, the first electric telescopic rod 42 starts to extend and retract after receiving the signal. The extension and retraction of the first electric telescopic rod 42 drives the lifting rod 43 to move up and down. The connecting plate 44 fixedly connected to the bottom of the lifting rod 43 also moves up and down accordingly.
[0037] During the up-and-down movement of the connecting plate 44, the slider 45 on the outside of the connecting plate 44 slides in the lifting groove 46 opened inside the fixed plate 41. The cooperation between the slider 45 and the lifting groove 46 plays a guiding and stabilizing role, ensuring that the connecting plate 44 can move up and down smoothly, thereby adjusting the height of the push rod 412 so that it is at a suitable height with the position of the clutch to be calibrated or assembled.
[0038] After the height adjustment is completed, rotate the screw 48. The screw 48 is rotatably connected inside the connecting plate 44, and the moving block 49 is threadedly connected to the screw 48 and slidably engaged in the slide groove 410. According to the principle of thread transmission, the rotation of the screw 48 will drive the moving block 49 to move horizontally in the slide groove 410, thereby adjusting the horizontal position of the second electric telescopic rod 411 and the push rod 412, so that the push rod 412 is accurately aligned with the part of the clutch that needs to be calibrated or pushed.
[0039] Finally, the controller 2 sends a command to the second electric telescopic rod 411. The second electric telescopic rod 411 is electrically connected to the controller 2. After receiving the signal, the second electric telescopic rod 411 extends or retracts, driving the push rod 412 to calibrate or push the clutch, so that the clutch can be accurately assembled into the corresponding position of the washing machine. Since the end of the push rod 412 away from the second electric telescopic rod 411 is fixedly connected to the outside of the stabilizing plate 31, the clamping mechanism 3 and the calibration and pushing mechanism 4 cooperate with each other during the entire calibration and pushing process to ensure the stability and accuracy of the clutch during the assembly process.
