Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of caster production equipment, and in particular to a production line for caster base plate components. Background Technology
[0002] Casters are widely used components in furniture, logistics equipment, medical devices, and other fields. The production quality and efficiency of their base plate components directly affect the overall performance and production schedule of the casters.

[0021] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0022] Reference Figures 1 to 5 A production line for caster base plate assemblies includes a workbench 1, which includes a conveyor channel 2 mounted thereon, a movable seat 3 mounted on the conveyor channel 2 and capable of passing through the conveyor channel 2 to move the base plate assembly on the conveyor channel 2, and a drive device 4 mounted on the workbench 1 to drive the movable seat 3 to move back and forth. An oiling device 5 and a steel ball feeding device 6 are sequentially arranged beside the conveyor channel 2 and along the conveying direction of the conveyor channel 2. In this way, the oiling device 5 and the steel ball feeding device 6 are used to oil the base plate assemblies conveyed on the conveyor channel 2 and assemble steel balls, thereby achieving automated production, making the production process more continuous, and thus improving production efficiency.
[0023] In this case, the conveying channel 2 includes a first chute 21 located on the left and right sides and arranged along the length direction, and a second chute 22 located in the middle and arranged along the length direction; the movable seat 3 includes a support plate 31 located below the conveying channel 2 and movable up and down, a first support part 32 located on the left and right sides of the support plate 31 and extending above the conveying channel 2 through the first chute 21, and a second support part 33 located in the middle of the support plate 31 and extending above the conveying channel 2 through the second chute 22. The first support part 32 supports the base plate in the base plate assembly, and the second support part 33 supports the rivets in the base plate assembly, thereby lifting the base plate assembly to move along the conveying channel 2; this allows the base plate assembly to move smoothly within the feeding channel, preventing the base plate assembly from shifting during movement and ensuring accurate positioning in subsequent processes. Preferably, the first support part 32 includes support blocks 321 disposed on the four corner ends of the support plate 31, and limiting grooves 322 disposed on the support blocks 321 for limiting the bottom plate assembly; the second support part 33 includes support columns 331 disposed on the support plate 31, thereby supporting and limiting the bottom plate through the limiting grooves 322, and supporting the rivets through the support columns 331, so that the movable seat 3 can pass through the conveying channel 2 to lift the bottom plate assembly.
[0024] In this design, two movable seats 3 are positioned one in front of the other on the conveying channel 2. By having the two movable seats 3 work alternately, when one movable seat 3 completes the oiling process on the base plate assembly and moves to the steel ball loading station, the next movable seat 3 can bring a new base plate assembly into the oiling station for oiling operations. This allows for parallel processing of the oiling and steel ball loading processes, improving production efficiency.

The moving seats 3 are respectively mounted on the front and rear ends of the connecting seat 41, so that the connecting seat 41 can be raised by the telescopic cylinder 42, thereby allowing the support block 321 and the support column to pass through the first slide groove 21 and the second slide groove 22 respectively to support the base plate assembly, and then lift it and transport it along the conveyor belt. Further, the first moving mechanism 43 includes a first slide rail 431 mounted on the workbench 1, a first slide table 432 mounted on the first slide rail 431 and movable back and forth, and a first push rod 433 mounted on the bottom of the workbench 1 and capable of driving the first slide table 432 to move back and forth. The telescopic cylinder 42 is mounted on the first slide table 432. An opening slot is provided on the worktable 1 below the first slide 432, so that the connector on the output end of the first push rod 433 can pass through the opening slot and connect to the bottom of the first slide 432, thereby the first push rod 433 can drive the first slide 432 to move back and forth.
[0026] In this design, the oiling device 5 includes a first support frame 51 mounted on the workbench 1, an oiling assembly 52 mounted on the first support frame 51, and a second push rod 53 mounted on the first support frame 51 and capable of driving the oiling assembly 52 to move up and down. Further, the oiling assembly 52 includes a movable plate 521 mounted on the first support frame 51 and capable of moving up and down, an oiling motor 522 mounted on the movable plate 521, a turntable 523 mounted on the output end of the oiling motor 522, and several oiling pipes 524 mounted on the turntable 523. Preferably, there are three or four oiling pipes 524 to ensure more even oiling. The movable plate 521 is connected to the output end of the second push rod 53, and a guide rail is provided between the movable plate 521 and the first support frame 51 to guide the movement of the movable plate 521. This is used to apply grease to the base plate assembly.
[0027] In this scheme, the steel ball feeding device 6 includes a hopper 61 set on the workbench 1 for storing steel balls, a lifting plate 62 set in the hopper 61 and movable up and down for grabbing steel balls in the hopper 61, a third push rod 63 set on the workbench 1 and capable of driving the lifting plate 62 to move up and down, a second support frame 64 set on the workbench 1 and located next to the hopper 61, a steel ball suction cup 65 set on the second support frame 64 and movable up, down, left and right to transfer steel balls on the lifting plate 62 to the base plate assembly, and a second moving mechanism 66 set on the second support frame 64 and capable of driving the steel ball suction cup 65 to move. The third push rod 63 is set above the workbench, and a linkage mechanism is provided between the third push rod 63 and the lifting plate 62, so that the third push rod 63 can drive the lifting plate 62 to move up and down. Furthermore, the second moving mechanism 66 includes a second slide rail 661 mounted on the second support frame 64, a second slide table 662 mounted on the second slide rail 661 and movable left and right, a fourth push rod 663 mounted on the second support frame 64 and capable of driving the second slide table 662 to move left and right, and a fifth push rod 664 mounted on the second slide table 662 and capable of driving the steel ball suction cup 65 to move up and down.
