Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gearbox technology, specifically to a gearbox component assembly equipment. Background Technology

[0002] As a core component of power transmission systems, gearboxes are widely used in engineering machinery, industrial automation equipment, and vehicle transmission systems. Their assembly precision directly affects the overall performance and operational stability of the machine. During gearbox assembly, multiple components with varying structural forms, such as housings, bearings, gears, and oil seals, typically need to be sequentially assembled into designated positions. Because these components have different spatial orientation requirements during assembly, some assembly steps require rotating the workpiece 180° to perform operations such as positioning, applying adhesive, fastening, or testing on the other side of the structure.

[0003] Currently, in actual production, workpiece flipping is still mainly done manually or using robotic arms at fixed angles. This method has the following problems: First, manual flipping involves high operational intensity and unstable workpiece posture control, which can easily lead to assembly deviations or workpiece damage; Second, when using traditional mechanical structures to flip workpieces, the equipment usually lacks flexible angle adjustment capabilities and cannot adapt to the diverse needs of different parts and assembly processes. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a gearbox component assembly equipment, which aims to alleviate the above problems to at least a certain extent.

[0029] 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.

[0030] refer to Figures 1-3 This embodiment provides a gearbox component assembly device, including an assembly platform 100, a tilting table 101, a positioning plate 102, a bracket 103, an adjustment component, and a rotating component. The assembly platform 100 is used to support the entire assembly mechanism, and two tilting tables 101 are provided on it. The two tilting tables 101 are arranged at intervals between each other to support the gearbox.

[0031] Each flipping table 101 is equipped with two positioning plates 102. The two positioning plates 102 are arranged opposite each other and are used to limit and clamp the workpiece to be assembled during the flipping process to prevent the workpiece from shaking or shifting during the flipping process and improve the assembly stability.

[0032] Two supports 103 are mounted on the assembly platform 100 and are rotatably connected to the corresponding flip tables 101. Each flip table 101 is mounted on the corresponding support 103 via a rotating shaft 300 assembly, enabling the flip table 101 to rotate around a horizontal axis and switch the workpiece from the front to the back or other angles.

[0033] An adjustment component is provided between the assembly platform 100 and the two supports 103 to drive the two supports 103 to move in the lateral direction of the assembly platform 100, thereby changing the distance between the two supports 103 to accommodate gearbox accessories of different sizes.

[0034] A rotating component is provided between the support 103 and the tilting table 101, and the tilting table 101 can rotate at multiple angles under the drive of the rotating component.

[0035] With the above configuration, the assembly platform 100 serves as the basic load-bearing structure of the equipment, supporting each assembly module. Two tilting tables 101 are spaced apart on the assembly platform 100, each corresponding to a different side of the gearbox to accommodate the tilting requirements of the workpiece in different postures during assembly.

[0036] When assembling gearbox components, the operator can place the workpiece between the two positioning plates 102 on the tilting table 101. The two positioning plates 102 are arranged opposite each other, which can form a stable clamp on the gearbox workpiece, avoid shaking during the tilting process, and improve assembly stability and alignment accuracy.

[0037] The tilting table 101 is rotatably connected to the support 103. During assembly, the rotating component applies a rotational force to the tilting table 101, causing it to rotate around a horizontal axis, thereby enabling the workpiece to switch positions. For example, after assembling one side, the rotating component rotates the tilting table 101 180° so that the other side faces upwards, facilitating the continued installation of accessories, application of adhesives, or fastening operations. After rotating to the target angle, the locking mechanism within the rotating component stably fixes the tilting table 101, preventing tilting, displacement, or rotation.

[0038] When the size of the gearbox components changes or the assembly process requires adjustment of the spacing between the brackets 103, the adjustment mechanism is activated, driving the two brackets 103 to move synchronously along the lateral direction of the assembly platform 100. This increases or decreases the spacing between the two tilting tables 101, achieving adaptive support for gearbox components of different specifications. After adjustment, the position of the tilting table 101 remains connected to the rotation of the bracket 103, ensuring the continued effectiveness of the tilting function.

[0039] In summary, this embodiment achieves flexible flipping and stable positioning of workpieces of different sizes through the coordinated operation of the rotating structure of the flipping table 101 and the spacing adjustment mechanism of the support 103, thereby improving the continuity and accuracy assurance of each step in the gearbox assembly process.

[0040] Based on the above embodiments, the tilting table 101 is further provided with a positioning opening 200, and the positioning plate 102 is slidably connected within the positioning opening 200. Specifically, the positioning opening 200 is a guide groove structure set along the longitudinal direction of the tilting table 101, which is used to limit the sliding direction of the positioning plate 102 and provide stable guiding support.

[0041] The tilting table 101 is equipped with a cylinder 202, which is fixedly installed on the tilting table 101. Its telescopic shaft passes through the positioning port 200 and is fixedly connected to the positioning plate 102.

[0042] With the above setup, the operator places the gearbox workpiece between the two tilting tables 101. To achieve precise clamping of the workpiece, the cylinder 202 is activated, driving its telescopic shaft to push the connected positioning plate 102 along the positioning port 200, thereby causing the two positioning plates 102 to gradually approach and clamp the workpiece. During the clamping process, the positioning plate 102 always moves smoothly along the slide of the positioning port 200, avoiding tilting or displacement and ensuring the stability of the workpiece's posture.

[0043] The positioning port 200, acting as a guide structure and in conjunction with a sliding connection, ensures that the positioning plate 102 remains in a parallel clamping state under stress, effectively improving clamping stability during the flipping process. The cylinder 202, as an active drive component, can automatically adjust the clamping force for workpieces of different sizes. Compared to manual bolts or fixed positioning structures, it offers higher adjustment efficiency and is more suitable for the automated assembly needs of batch production and multi-specification gearbox components.

[0044] Furthermore, the sidewall of the positioning plate 102 is provided with a plurality of positioning grooves 201, which are arranged sequentially along the sliding direction of the positioning plate 102. The positioning groove 201 is a recessed structure used to fit and limit the surface shape or key parts of the workpiece. The size and shape of each positioning groove 201 can be customized according to the external characteristics of different specifications of gearbox workpieces, thereby realizing the adaptation, clamping and precise positioning of different types of workpieces.

[0045] With the above setup, during the clamping process, after the workpiece is placed between the two tilting tables 101, the cylinder 202 drives the positioning plate 102 to slide along the positioning opening 200, causing the positioning plate 102 to gradually approach the workpiece. When the positioning plate 102 approaches the outer wall of the workpiece, the multiple positioning grooves 201 opened on its side wall begin to contact the outer contour of the workpiece. Since the multiple positioning grooves 201 are arranged at a certain interval and with a certain shape gradient, they can form multi-point contact support for the workpiece at different positions, enhancing the clamping stability.

[0046] Furthermore, the rotating component includes a rotating shaft 300, a worm gear 301, and a worm 302. One end of the rotating shaft 300 is rotatably connected to the bracket 103, and the other end is fixedly connected to the tilting table 101, serving to support and drive the tilting table 101 to rotate. The worm gear 301 is connected to the rotating shaft 300, and the worm gear 301 is coaxially mounted with the rotating shaft 300 and rotates with it. The worm 302 is rotatably connected to the bracket 103, and the teeth of the worm 302 mesh with the worm gear 301. The rotation of the worm gear 302 drives the worm gear 301 to rotate, thereby driving the rotating shaft 300 and the connected tilting table 101 to achieve angular rotation.

[0047] With the above setup, after the workpiece is positioned, the tilting table 101 needs to be angled for assembly operations or inspections on different surfaces. At this time, the operator can rotate the worm gear 302, causing its teeth to slowly rotate the meshing worm wheel 301. Since the worm wheel 301 is fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft 300, the rotation of the worm wheel 301 will drive the rotating shaft 300 to rotate synchronously, thereby achieving the overall rotation of the tilting table 101, allowing the workpiece to be tilted as needed, such as by 180° or any other angle.

[0048] The advantages of using the worm gear 302-worm wheel 301 structure lie in its excellent torque amplification effect and self-locking characteristics. During the driving process, compared to traditional sprocket or gear structures, the worm gear 302 can achieve smooth rotation under greater loads with less operating force, making it particularly suitable for the rotation requirements of heavier gearbox workpieces. Simultaneously, this structure has a self-locking capability after rotation stops, effectively preventing the tilting table 101 from rotating back due to its own weight, thus improving operational safety and stability during assembly.

[0049] Furthermore, a rotating disk 303 is connected to the end of the worm gear 302. The rotating disk 303 is located on the outside of the bracket 103 and has a diameter larger than the shaft diameter of the worm gear 302 for easy manual operation. The rotating disk 303 is installed at the end of the worm gear 302 by key connection or threaded fastening. Its outer edge may be provided with anti-slip texture or arc-shaped groove structure to enhance gripping friction and improve the stability and accuracy of rotational operation.

[0050] With the above configuration, when the tilting table 101 needs angle adjustment, the operator can directly hold the rotating disk 303 and rotate it slowly with minimal operating force. The rotating disk 303 drives the worm gear 302 to rotate synchronously. After the worm gear 302 meshes with the worm wheel 301, the angle of the tilting table 101 can be finely adjusted. Since the diameter of the rotating disk 303 is larger than the shaft diameter of the worm gear 302, the operating radius can be enlarged within a limited space, effectively reducing the torque requirement during manual operation and making the workpiece tilting process more convenient and controllable.

[0051] Compared to the traditional worm gear 302 end operation method that requires tools to rotate, this structure not only improves the user-friendliness of human-machine interaction and avoids the risk of misoperation caused by tool slippage or space constraints, but also facilitates quick adjustment of the flipping angle on site. It is particularly suitable for flexible assembly scenarios of multi-specification, small-batch gearbox workpieces.

[0052] Furthermore, the adjusting component includes a lead screw 400, which is rotatably connected to the assembly platform 100 and arranged in the transverse direction between the two supports 103. The lead screw 400 has two threaded sections 401, each with opposite thread directions (e.g., one end is left-handed, the other right-handed), which are threadedly engaged with threaded holes on the two corresponding supports 103. By rotating the lead screw 400, the two supports 103 can move synchronously towards or away from each other, thereby adjusting the distance between the supports 103.

[0053] With the above setup, when assembling gearbox components of different specifications, the positions of the two supports 103 need to be adjusted according to the workpiece length or structural dimensions. This embodiment achieves rapid, linked adjustment of the support 103 position by setting a lead screw 400 with double threaded sections 401. The operator only needs to rotate the lead screw 400, and the two threaded sections 401 will drive their respective threaded supports 103 to move inward or outward synchronously. The entire adjustment process is linear and stable, avoiding structural skew or uneven rotation caused by unilateral movement. Compared with traditional unidirectional slide rail or rack and pinion adjustment structures, the two supports 103 always maintain symmetrical movement, avoiding eccentricity of the clamping structure and improving the workpiece centering accuracy.

[0054] Furthermore, a motor 402 is connected to the assembly platform 100, and the drive shaft of the motor 402 is connected to the lead screw 400 to drive the lead screw 400 to rotate. The motor 402 can be a servo motor 402 or a stepper motor 402, and is fixedly installed at one end of the assembly platform 100. Its drive shaft is coaxially connected to the lead screw 400 through a coupling to ensure stable torque transmission. By controlling the rotation direction and angle of the motor 402, the lead screw 400 can be rotated in both directions, thereby driving the two supports 103 to move closer or further apart synchronously, completing the automatic adjustment of the distance between the supports 103.

[0055] With the above setup, when it is necessary to adjust the distance between the two supports 103 to accommodate different gearbox workpieces, the operator can start the motor 402 via a button controller or PLC system. The motor 402 drives the shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the lead screw 400 to rotate. Since the lead screw 400 has two threaded sections 401, which are threaded into the two supports 103 respectively, the rotation of the lead screw 400 will simultaneously drive the two supports 103 to move symmetrically. The positive rotation of the motor 402 causes the supports 103 to move closer together, while the negative rotation causes the supports 103 to move apart, thereby achieving rapid adjustment of the assembly distance.

[0056] 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.
