Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of shaft system loading and transfer device, and in particular relates to a shaft system module loading device. [Background Technology]

[0002] In the assembly and production of shaft modules and housings, traditional assembly methods often rely on manual handling of shaft modules and alignment with the housing's assembly holes. Since shaft modules frequently contain multiple sets of shaft parts requiring precise meshing, manual assembly makes it difficult to ensure stable meshing, easily leading to misalignment and subsequent equipment malfunctions. Furthermore, the overall weight of the housing and shaft modules is significant, making manual handling not only labor-intensive and inefficient but also posing a risk of damage from impacts.

[0003] While some production lines employ simple tooling for positioning, the lack of precise positioning structures between the tooling and conveying equipment / assembly stations makes it prone to shifting during transport. Furthermore, the tooling's reliability at the workstation is insufficient, further impacting assembly accuracy. In addition, existing assembly equipment is mostly single-function designed, making it difficult to adapt to the assembly requirements of different shaft modules and housings. This results in poor equipment versatility; when switching product models, numerous components need to be readjusted or replaced, increasing production costs and preparation time, and failing to meet the demands of large-scale, multi-variety production. [Utility Model Content]

[0006] Furthermore, the shaft system carrier includes a first base plate, a plurality of first support bases located on the first base plate and supporting various shaft parts in the shaft system module, a first handle disposed on the first base plate, and a pair of first locking pins for locking the shaft system carrier in place when it needs to be fixed.

[0007] Furthermore, the housing carrier includes a second base plate, a plurality of second support bases disposed on the second base plate for supporting the housing, a clamping assembly for pressing the housing onto the second support bases, a second handle disposed on the second base plate, and a pair of third locking pins for locking the housing carrier in place when it needs to be fixed.

[0008] Furthermore, among the plurality of first support bases, one of the first support bases is disposed on a sliding module.

[0009] Furthermore, the sliding module includes a first slide rail disposed on the first base plate, a sliding plate slidably disposed on the first slide rail by a slider, a limiting block located beside the first slide rail and limiting the sliding range of the sliding plate, and a second locking pin locking the sliding plate after it slides to a designated position; the first support base is disposed on the sliding plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the worktable is provided with a pair of first locking holes corresponding to the shaft placement position, which cooperate with the first locking pin, and a pair of second locking holes corresponding to the housing placement position, which cooperate with the third locking pin.

[0011] Furthermore, the workbench is provided with a second ball bearing support rail corresponding to the housing placement position, and a lifting drive module for driving the second ball bearing support rail to move up and down is provided below the workbench.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a transport trolley for transporting the shaft system carrier to the shaft system placement station and the housing carrier to the housing placement station.

[0013] Furthermore, the first base plate has a first positioning slot on each of its opposite sides; the second base plate has a second positioning slot on each of its opposite sides; the conveying trolley has an elastic limiting block that cooperates with the first positioning slot and the second positioning slot; the worktable has a fourth locking pin for locking the position of the conveying trolley on the input side corresponding to the housing placement station, and the conveying trolley has a third locking hole that cooperates with the fourth locking pin; the worktable has a positioning groove on the input side corresponding to the housing placement station, and the conveying trolley has a positioning block that cooperates with the positioning groove.

[0014] Furthermore, the shaft system gripping and transfer module includes a first bracket, a second slide rail mounted on the first bracket and extending along the X direction, a first support plate horizontally slidably mounted on the second slide rail, a second bracket fixed on the first support plate, a second support plate vertically slidably mounted on the second bracket, a first assist cylinder and a second assist cylinder fixed on the second bracket and whose movable ends are both connected to the second support plate, a rotating shaft rotatably mounted on the second support plate around the Z axis, a third support plate fixed at the bottom end of the rotating shaft, multiple pneumatic gripper assemblies mounted on the third support plate for gripping various shaft parts in the shaft system module, and a third handle mounted on the third support plate for convenient manual operation.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the shaft module housing device of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] (1) Significantly improved assembly accuracy and stability: Through the sliding module design of the shaft system carrier, the pre-placement and engagement positions of shaft parts can be switched precisely. With the second locking pin, the assembly state of the shaft system module is kept stable. The first carrier guide module and the second carrier guide module respectively limit the three sides of the shaft system carrier and the housing carrier. The slot-block cooperation of the stacked carrier with the work station and the conveying trolley and the locking pin fixation ensure the assembly alignment accuracy of the shaft system module and the housing from multiple dimensions such as carrier positioning, conveying docking and work station fixing, effectively avoiding assembly misalignment problems.

[0017] (2) Operation convenience and production efficiency optimization: The ball bearing support track design of the conveyor trolley and the workstation greatly reduces the pushing resistance of the heavy shell carrier, and the lifting drive module enables the carrier to be stably positioned; the first and second assist cylinders of the shaft system gripping and transfer module work together (manual assisted positioning, weight offset under no-load and weight offset under load), which not only avoids the risk of the shaft system module falling due to inertial vibration, but also reduces the intensity of manual operation; at the same time, the quick docking structure between the carrier and the equipment (positioning groove-block, locking pin) shortens the material preparation time, and multi-station collaborative operation further improves the overall assembly efficiency.

[0018] (3) Enhanced versatility and safety: The modular design of the shaft system carrier and the housing carrier can be adapted to different specifications of shaft system modules and housings by replacing the support base; the conveyor trolleys can be shared or set separately to meet the needs of different production scenarios; the carrier is double fixed on the conveyor and the work station (elastic limit block, locking pin) to prevent the carrier from slipping and damaging parts, and to ensure production safety; in addition, the design that combines manual assisted alignment with automated power takes into account both precise assembly and flexible adjustment, reduces the equipment modification cost when switching product models, and adapts to the needs of multi-variety production.

Detailed Implementation Methods

[0031] Example 1:

[0032] Please refer to Figures 1-8 This embodiment is a shaft module housing device 100, which is used to install the shaft module 200 into the housing 300.

[0033] A shaft system module housing insertion device 100 includes a worktable 1, a shaft system placement station 10 and a housing placement station 20 arranged along the X direction on the worktable 1, a shaft system carrier 2 placed at the shaft system placement station 10, a housing carrier 3 placed at the housing placement station 20, a first carrier guide module 4 for positioning the shaft system carrier 2 at the shaft system placement station 10, a second carrier guide module 5 for positioning the housing carrier 3 at the housing placement station 20, and a shaft system gripping and transferring module 6 whose transfer range covers the shaft system placement station 10 and the housing placement station 20.

[0034] Before the shaft module 200 is installed into the housing 300, the operator first places the shaft module 200 on the shaft carrier 2 offline and the housing 300 on the housing carrier 3, and then presses and fixes the housing 300 by the clamping components on the housing carrier 3. Then, the shaft module is transported to the shaft module housing insertion device 100 by the conveyor trolley 7. The shaft carrier 2 carrying the shaft module 200 is pushed manually to the shaft placement station 10, and the housing carrier 3 carrying the housing 300 is pushed to the housing placement station 20. The loading operation of the shaft module 200 and the housing 300 is completed.

[0035] The first vehicle guide module 4 and the second vehicle guide module 5 respectively guide and limit the entry and exit of the shaft system vehicle 2 and the shell vehicle 3, ensuring the precise assembly of the shaft system module 200 and the shell 300.

[0036] The shaft system gripping and transfer module 6 is used to grip the shaft system module 200 on the shaft system carrier 2 at the shaft system placement station 10, then move it above the housing placement station 20, and then put the shaft system module 200 into the housing 300 in the housing carrier 3 to complete the housing insertion operation of the shaft system module 200 and obtain the shaft system housing assembly.

[0037] Finally, the entire shaft housing assembly, along with the housing carrier 3, is pulled out from the housing placement station 20 and moved onto the transport trolley 7, then transferred to the transfer station or the next work station.

[0038] The following will provide a detailed description of each structure in the shaft module housing device 100.

[0039] The shaft carrier 2 includes a first base plate 21, a plurality of first support bases 22 located on the first base plate 21 and supporting shaft-like parts, a first handle 23 disposed on the first base plate 21, and a pair of first locking pins 24 for locking the shaft carrier 2 when it needs to be fixed.

[0040] The housing carrier 3 includes a second base plate 31, a plurality of second support bases 32 disposed on the second base plate 31 for supporting the housing 300, a clamping assembly 33 for pressing the housing 300 onto the second support bases 32, a second handle 34 disposed on the second base plate 31, and a pair of third locking pins 35 for locking the housing carrier 3 in place when it needs to be fixed. The clamping assembly 33 is provided with a pin pre-installation positioning hole 331 to facilitate precise pre-installation of the pins by the operator.

[0041] In this embodiment, the shaft module 200 includes three shaft parts A, B, and C. Shaft part A needs to mesh with shaft parts B and C. To achieve precise engagement of the three shaft parts, a first support base 22 for supporting shaft part A is provided on a sliding module 25. Specifically, the sliding module 25 includes a first slide rail 251 on a first base plate 21, a sliding plate 252 slidably mounted on the first slide rail 251 via a slider, a limiting block 253 located beside the first slide rail 251 and restricting the sliding range of the sliding plate 252, and a second locking pin 254 that locks the sliding plate 252 after it slides to a designated position. The first support base 22 for supporting shaft part A is provided on the sliding plate 252. The sliding plate 252 has two positions: a pre-positioned position and an engaged position. At the pre-positioned location, the operator places shaft part A onto the corresponding first support base 22; then pushes the sliding plate 252 to the engagement position. At the engagement position, shaft part A engages with shaft parts B and C on the other two first support bases 22, completing the assembly of shaft module 200; then the position of the sliding plate 252 is locked and fixed by the second locking pin 254, so that shaft module 200 remains in the assembled state.

[0042] There are two situations where the shaft carrier 2 and the housing carrier 3 need to be fixed in position: one is on the conveying trolley 7, and the other is on the shaft placement station 10 / housing placement station 20. Fixing them on the conveying trolley 7 prevents them from slipping off and being damaged during transport. Fixing them on the shaft placement station 10 and the housing placement station 20 ensures that the shaft gripping and transferring module 6 can accurately grip the shaft module 200 on the shaft carrier 2 and accurately place it into the housing 300 in the housing carrier 3. Therefore, on the one hand, the first base plate 21 has a first positioning slot 211 on its opposite sides, and the second base plate 31 has a second positioning slot 311 on its opposite sides; the conveying trolley 7 is provided with an elastic limiting block 71 that cooperates with the first positioning slot 211 and the second positioning slot 311. The elastic limiting block 71 is normally kept in an extended state and is locked in the first positioning slot 211 and the second positioning slot 311 to limit the position of the shaft carrier 2 and the housing carrier 3; when it is necessary to remove its position limiting effect, the elastic limiting block 71 can be pulled out from the first positioning slot 211 and the second positioning slot 311. On the other hand, the worktable 1 is provided with a pair of first locking holes 11 that cooperate with the first locking pin 24 at the shaft placement station 10, and a pair of second locking holes 12 that cooperate with the third locking pin 35 at the housing placement station 20.

[0043] The conveying trolley of the conveying shaft system carrier 2 and the conveying trolley of the conveying shell carrier 3 can share the same one or be set separately, and can be flexibly designed according to actual needs.

[0044] In this embodiment, since the overall weight of the housing carrier 3 carrying the housing 300 is very heavy, the conveying trolley 7 that conveys the housing carrier 3 is provided with a first ball bearing support rail 72, and the workbench 1 is provided with a second ball bearing support rail 13 corresponding to the housing placement station 20. With the provision of the first ball bearing support rail 72 and the second ball bearing support rail 13, it is convenient for the operator to easily push the housing carrier 3 carrying the housing 300 from the conveying trolley 7 to the housing placement station 20.

[0045] Since the housing carrier 3 is movable on the second ball bearing support rail 13, it is not conducive to the precise assembly of the shaft module 200 and the housing 300. Therefore, a lifting drive module 8 is provided below the worktable 1 corresponding to the housing placement station 20 to drive the second ball bearing support rail 13 to move up and down. When the housing carrier 3 moves into place, the lifting drive module 8 drives the second ball bearing support rail 13 to descend, so that the housing carrier 3 sits on the worktable 1, thereby ensuring its positional stability.

[0046] The conveying trolley 7 is equipped with a guide positioning module 73 for positioning the shaft carrier 2 and the shell carrier 3. The first carrier guide module 4, the second carrier guide module 5, and the guide positioning module 73 all adopt a long strip structure to achieve three-sided enclosure and limitation of the first base plate 21 and the second base plate 31.

[0047] During the process of the operator pushing the shaft carrier 2 or the housing carrier 3 from the conveying trolley 7 into the shaft module housing device 100, in order to ensure the position of the conveying trolley 7, a fourth locking pin 14 is provided on the workbench 1 corresponding to the input side of the housing placement station 20 to lock the position of the conveying trolley 7, and a third locking hole 74 is provided on the conveying trolley 7 to cooperate with the fourth locking pin 14.

[0048] In addition, to facilitate rapid docking between the conveyor trolley 7 and the shaft module housing insertion device 100, a positioning groove 15 is provided on the workbench 1 corresponding to the input side of the housing placement station 20, and a positioning block 75 is provided on the conveyor trolley 7 to cooperate with the positioning groove 15. When the conveyor trolley 7 approaches the workbench 1, the positioning block 75 engages with the positioning groove 15, enabling precise positioning of the conveyor trolley 7 and ensuring precise docking between the carrier slide on the conveyor trolley 7 and the housing placement station slide or shaft placement station slide on the workbench 1.

[0049] The shaft system gripping and transfer module 6 includes a first bracket 61, a second slide rail 62 mounted on the first bracket 61 and extending along the X direction, a first support plate 63 horizontally slidably mounted on the second slide rail 62, a second bracket 611 fixed on the first support plate 63, a second support plate 65 slidably mounted on the second bracket 611, a first assist cylinder 64 and a second assist cylinder 610 fixed on the second bracket 611 with their movable ends connected to the second support plate 65, a rotating shaft 66 rotatably mounted on the second support plate 65 around the Z-axis, a third support plate 67 fixed at the bottom end of the rotating shaft 66, multiple pneumatic gripper assemblies 68 mounted on the third support plate 67 for gripping various shaft parts in the shaft system module 200, and a third handle 69 mounted on the third support plate 67 for convenient manual operation. In this embodiment, the first assist cylinder 64 is used to offset the weight of the second support plate 65 and the module structure below it in the no-load state; the second assist cylinder 610 is used to offset the weight of the second support plate 65 and the module structure below it, as well as the shaft module 200, in the loaded state (i.e., when the pneumatic gripper assembly 68 is gripping the shaft module 200).

[0050] The rotating shaft 66 allows operators to easily adjust the position of the pneumatic gripper assembly 68 to align with various shaft parts.

[0051] When using the shaft system gripping and transfer module 6, the first assist cylinder 64 is kept in working condition. Then, the operator moves the pneumatic gripper assembly 68 above the shaft system placement station 10. In this embodiment, the movement of the first support plate 63 in the X direction is manually pulled, or it can be achieved using an automated power source. However, since the shaft system module 200 is relatively heavy, it is necessary to avoid excessive inertia during instantaneous movements or sudden stops to prevent the shaft system module 200 from shaking and falling due to sudden starts and stops. The operator holds the third handle 69 and pulls the third support plate 67 downwards to a certain height. Then, each pneumatic gripper assembly 68 is aligned with the respective shaft part, and the grippers in the start gripper assembly 68 are inserted into the respective shaft part. After alignment, the corresponding working button is pressed. The cylinder in the pneumatic gripper assembly 68 is activated, clamping various shaft parts using a gripping or internal support method. Then, pressing the designated working button activates the second assist cylinder 610, switching it to the working state. With the combined assistance of the first assist cylinder 64 and the second assist cylinder 610, the operator can easily remove the shaft module 200 from the shaft carrier 2. The pneumatic gripper assembly 68 is then moved above the housing placement station 20. With the assistance of the first assist cylinder 64 and the second assist cylinder 610, the operator pulls the third support plate 67 downwards, assembling the shaft module 200 into the corresponding assembly hole on the housing 300 according to the set position, completing the assembly of the shaft module and the housing. While meeting the assembly requirements of the shaft module and the housing, this greatly reduces the operator's workload and fatigue.

[0052] 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.
