Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of industrial automation equipment, specifically to a gearbox housing shift bracket assembly device. Background Technology

[0002] In the manufacturing process of automotive transmissions, the shifter bracket assembly is a critical component, typically assembled from the shifter bracket, shifter gear, multiple pins, and the transmission rear housing. The assembly precision of this component directly affects the transmission's shifting performance and operational reliability.

[0003] Currently, many domestic manufacturers still primarily use manual methods to assemble this component. Operators need to manually load materials, align them, insert pins, and finally assemble them into the gearbox rear housing. This manual operation mode has many drawbacks: First, manual operation results in a slow production cycle and low efficiency, making it difficult to meet the demands of modern large-scale production; second, due to factors such as worker skill level and fatigue, quality problems such as missing pins, incomplete assembly, and scratched parts are prone to occur, leading to large fluctuations in product qualification rates and difficulty in ensuring consistency; third, manual assembly is labor-intensive and detrimental to production cost control.

Detailed Implementation

[0014] 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.

[0015] Reference Figures 1 to 13 The gearbox housing shift bracket assembly equipment shown is arranged in sequence around the core workstation pin feeding and assembly mechanism 4, which includes a shift gear feeding and assembly mechanism 1, a shift bracket feeding and assembly mechanism 2, a gearbox rear housing feeding and assembly mechanism 3, and a component feeding mechanism 5.

[0016] The core of the pin feeding and assembly mechanism 4 is the first carrier 401, which is fixed to the output shaft of the first rotary cylinder 403. This mechanism is also equipped with an automatic pin-attaching machine 402 and a pin vibrating feeder. The automatic pin-attaching machines 402 are in pairs and can operate simultaneously.

[0017] In the pin feeding and assembly mechanism 4, a first rotary cylinder 403 drives a first carrier 401 to rotate at a small angle to facilitate the insertion of multiple pins. The first rotary cylinder 403 is mounted on a second rotary cylinder 404. The rotation axis of the second rotary cylinder 404 is spatially arranged differently from that of the first rotary cylinder 403, enabling it to drive the entire first rotary cylinder 403 module to rotate.

[0018] After the automatic pin-driving machine 402 completes the insertion of all pins, the infrared sensor 6 located next to the workstation detects the workpiece on the first carrier 401 to check whether the pins at the predetermined positions are correctly installed. If all pins are detected, the workpiece continues the subsequent assembly process. If any pin is detected as missing, the control system immediately pauses the normal assembly cycle and activates the second rotary cylinder 404. The second rotary cylinder 404 actuates, causing the first rotary cylinder 403 and the first carrier 401 to rotate 180 degrees, causing the defective workpiece to fall from the carrier into the waste collection device below. After waste removal is completed, the second rotary cylinder 404 resets, and the equipment continues to operate.

[0019] This mechanism ensures that only qualified products can be used for the final assembly of the gearbox rear housing, greatly improving the overall product quality of the equipment.

[0020] The bracket gripping robot 201 of the actuation bracket loading and assembly mechanism 2 has a dual-grip structure, with a first gripping structure 201a and a second gripping structure 201b mounted at its end. The first gripping structure 201a is a chuck structure that can be driven to open outwards to grip the actuation bracket. A camera detection component 7 is located above the gripping position to detect the position of the actuation bracket. The second gripping structure 201b is a jaw structure that can grip the actuation bracket assembly.

[0021] The gearbox rear housing loading and assembly mechanism 3 includes a second carrier 301 for supporting and positioning the gearbox rear housing, and a rear housing gripping robot 302. A cylinder-driven movable positioning sleeve 303 is mounted on the second carrier 301, which can extend when needed.

[0022] It should also be noted that an infrared sensor 6 is installed in the gearbox rear housing loading and assembly mechanism 3. Its purpose is to locate the position. The rear housing gripping robot 302 can adjust the orientation of the gearbox rear housing after gripping to ensure that the gearbox rear housing is assembled in the correct position.

[0023] The component loading mechanism 5 mainly includes a transverse manipulator 502, the end of which is integrated with a cylinder-driven pressing component 501 and a gripping device for gripping the final component.

[0024] The working process of the device of this invention is as follows: The support gripping robot 201 moves to the feed position of the actuating support, and its first gripping structure 201a grips a actuating support; Simultaneously, the rear housing gripping robot 302 grips a gearbox rear housing onto the second vehicle 301; The gear-grabbing robot 101 of the gear feeding assembly mechanism 1 also grabs a gear from its feed point.

[0025] Core assembly: The first gripping structure 201a of the support gripping robot 201 places the actuating support on the first carrier 401; The gear-grabbing robot 101 loads the actuating gear into the actuating bracket on the first carrier 401; The automatic pinning machine 402 picks up pins from the feeder and first inserts two pins. The first rotary cylinder 403 drives the first carrier 401 and the workpiece to rotate by a set angle. Automatic pinning machine 402 inserts the remaining pins to form the actuating bracket assembly.

[0026] Rear shell assembly and component transfer: Before the first gripping structure 201a places the actuating bracket on the first carrier 401, the second gripping structure 201b of the bracket gripping robot 201 grips the actuating bracket assembly. After the first gripping structure 201a places the actuating bracket on the first carrier 401, the bracket gripping robot 201 places the actuating bracket assembly on the second carrier 301, allowing the actuating bracket assembly to enter the gearbox rear housing to complete the assembly, and the next cycle begins. It should be added that, in this step, the movable positioning sleeve 303 on the second vehicle 301 is activated, the movable positioning sleeve 303 extends, and guides the toggle bracket assembly into the gearbox rear housing; The transverse manipulator 502 of the component loading mechanism 5 moves above the second carrier 301; The cylinder of the lower pressing component 501 is activated, moving downward to apply pressure to the initially assembled components, ensuring that the actuating bracket assembly is fully pressed into place; After the pressing component 501 is reset, the transverse manipulator 502 grabs the finally assembled gearbox housing shift bracket assembly. The lateral robot 502 removes the final component from the second carrier 301 and places it on the assembly line carrier for subsequent processes.

[0027] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
