[0028] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, a brake assembly and forming mechanism is provided, comprising: frame; A conveying mechanism, mounted on the frame, is used to convey the brake housing; A positioning mechanism is provided at the bottom of the frame for positioning the brake housing in the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism; A spring assembly mechanism is mounted on the frame and located upstream of the conveying mechanism in the conveying direction, and is used to assemble the springs on the positioned brake housing; A steel ball assembly mechanism is mounted on the frame and located downstream of the conveying mechanism in the conveying direction, and is used to assemble steel balls into the brake housing after the spring assembly is completed.

[0029] Specifically, the brake assembly and forming mechanism of this utility model, by setting up a frame, a conveying mechanism, a positioning mechanism, a spring assembly mechanism, and a steel ball assembly mechanism, realizes a complete process of automated assembly of the brake housing from conveying and positioning to the sequential assembly of springs and steel balls.

At the same time, it significantly reduces human intervention, significantly improves production efficiency, and can better meet the high-precision and high-efficiency requirements of modern mass production for brake assembly.

[0030] In another embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the spring assembly mechanism includes: A spring feeding device is used to supply springs to be assembled.

[0031] In another embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the spring moving assembly includes a spring linear module and a spring moving cylinder mounted on the frame. The spring moving cylinder is connected to the spring linear module, and the output end of the spring linear module is connected to the spring pushing assembly. Specifically, the spring moving assembly is configured as a spring linear module and a spring moving cylinder. The spring linear module provides stable linear motion guidance and driving force, making the movement of the spring pushing assembly smoother and more precise, ensuring the switching accuracy of the spring pushing assembly between different positions.

[0032] In another embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the spring pushing assembly is equipped with a spring push rod, the diameter of which is larger than the diameter of the spring. Specifically, by providing a spring push rod in the spring pushing assembly, and ensuring that the diameter of the push rod's end face is larger than the spring's diameter, this structural design allows the spring push rod to form a larger contact area with the spring when pushing it, thereby applying a more uniform pushing force to the spring and preventing the spring from tilting, shifting, or even being damaged due to uneven force during the pushing process.

[0033] In another embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the steel ball assembly mechanism includes: A steel ball feeding device is used to supply steel balls to be assembled; A steel ball insertion assembly is used to insert steel balls output from the steel ball feeding device; A steel ball moving component, connected to the steel ball inserting component, is used to drive the extension and retraction of the steel ball inserting component. Specifically, by configuring the steel ball assembly mechanism as a steel ball feeding device, a steel ball inserting component, and a steel ball moving component, the steel ball feeding device can achieve orderly and quantitative supply of steel balls, ensuring a stable supply of steel ball material; the steel ball inserting component can accurately insert steel balls from the output end of the feeding device into the corresponding assembly position of the brake housing, ensuring that the steel balls are installed in place; the steel ball moving component drives the extension and retraction of the steel ball inserting component, which can flexibly adjust the position and stroke of the inserting component to adapt to the steel ball assembly requirements of brake housings of different specifications, further improving the automation level and accuracy of steel ball assembly, and solving the problems of low efficiency, easy omissions or mis-installation when manually inserting steel balls.

[0034] In another embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the ball movement assembly includes a ball linear module and a ball movement cylinder mounted on the frame. The ball movement cylinder is connected to the ball linear module, and the output end of the ball linear module is connected to the ball insertion assembly. Specifically, the ball movement assembly is configured as a ball linear module and a ball movement cylinder. The ball linear module provides high-precision linear guidance and stable driving force for the movement of the ball insertion assembly, ensuring the stability and positional accuracy of the ball insertion assembly during movement. The ball movement cylinder, as a power source, works in conjunction with the ball linear module to achieve rapid and accurate extension and retraction of the ball insertion assembly. The pneumatic drive method has the advantages of rapid response and convenient maintenance. The synergistic effect of the two effectively improves the movement efficiency and positioning accuracy of the ball insertion assembly, thereby ensuring the efficiency and quality of ball assembly.

[0035] In another embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the steel ball insertion assembly is equipped with a steel ball push rod, the diameter of which is larger than the diameter of the steel ball. Specifically, the steel ball insertion assembly is equipped with a steel ball push rod, and the diameter of the push end face is larger than the diameter of the steel ball. This design ensures that when the steel ball is pushed, the push end face of the push rod can completely cover the steel ball, effectively enveloping and pushing it, preventing the steel ball from slipping or shifting off the end face of the push rod during the pushing process.

[0036] In another embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the steel ball feeding device includes The feeding base is equipped with a steel ball input end, a lifting end, and a steel ball output end that are interconnected. The steel ball output end of the feeding base is connected to the steel ball push rod. A telescopic cylinder is included, with its piston rod connected to a feeding rod. The feeding rod moves freely within the lifting end and is used to lift the steel balls from the steel ball input end to the steel ball output end. Specifically, the steel ball feeding device is configured as a feeding seat with a steel ball input end, a lifting end, and a steel ball output end, and a telescopic cylinder connected to the feeding rod. After the steel balls enter the feeding seat from the input end, the telescopic cylinder drives the feeding rod to move within the lifting end, lifting the steel balls from the input end to the output end and engaging with the steel ball top rod. This structure achieves sequential and orderly lifting and supply of steel balls, avoiding steel ball accumulation and jamming, ensuring the continuity and stability of steel ball supply. Simultaneously, the precise lifting action of the feeding rod ensures that each steel ball accurately reaches the position to engage with the steel ball top rod, providing a reliable guarantee for the smooth insertion of subsequent steel balls, further improving the automation efficiency and reliability of steel ball assembly.

[0037] In another embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the conveying mechanism includes: A linear feeding module is installed on one side of the frame; The feeding block is connected to the output end of the feeding linear module and can freely extend and retract within the feeding track; A feeding sensor, installed within the feeding block, is used to detect whether the brake housing has reached the designated position. Specifically, the conveying mechanism is configured as a feeding linear module, a feeding block, and a feeding sensor. The feeding linear module provides stable linear drive and guidance for the movement of the feeding block, ensuring that the feeding block can drive the brake housing to move smoothly and accurately within the conveying track. The feeding block can freely extend and retract within the feeding track, flexibly adapting to the conveying needs of brake housings of different sizes, while effectively clamping or pushing the housing to prevent it from shaking or falling during conveying. The feeding sensor, installed within the feeding block, can detect in real time whether the brake housing has reached the designated position. Once the housing is detected to be in place, it can promptly provide a feedback signal to control the conveying mechanism to pause or proceed to the next step. This achieves automated and precise control of the conveying process, avoiding assembly errors caused by over- or under-positioning of the housing, and improving the coordination and reliability of the entire assembly process.

[0038] In another embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-5As shown, the positioning mechanism includes a positioning drive and a positioning component. The positioning drive is connected to the frame, and the positioning component is connected to the output end of the positioning drive. The positioning drive can drive the positioning component to abut against the brake housing for positioning. Specifically, the positioning drive is a cylinder, and the positioning component is a positioning block. The positioning block is used to block and position the brake housing. The positioning mechanism is specifically configured as a positioning drive (cylinder) and a positioning component (positioning block). The positioning drive uses a cylinder, which has the advantages of simple structure, rapid action, and stable output force, enabling it to quickly drive the positioning component. The positioning component uses a positioning block, which blocks and positions the brake housing by abutting against it. The large contact surface between the positioning block and the housing allows for stable and reliable positioning of the housing, preventing displacement during assembly and ensuring consistent datum for subsequent spring and ball assembly. The cylinder-driven positioning block provides fast response and high positioning accuracy, further ensuring the stability of the brake housing at the assembly station and improving overall assembly accuracy.

[0039] The rest of this embodiment is the same as that in Embodiment 1. Features not explained in this embodiment are explained using the methods in Embodiment 1, and will not be repeated here.
