Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of assembly equipment technology, and in particular to a sealing ring assembly machine that assembles in a vertical direction. Background Technology

[0002] A sealing ring is a component commonly used at equipment connections and other locations to prevent the leakage of liquids and gases. It is generally made of elastic materials such as rubber, and its main function is to achieve a sealing effect.

[0003] Traditional assembly processes typically rely on manual operation to assemble sealing rings. However, this method suffers from several drawbacks. Firstly, manual assembly is inefficient. Secondly, it's difficult to ensure the precision and consistency of the assembly process, leading to issues such as misaligned sealing ring installation and uneven clamping force. These problems not only weaken the sealing effect but may also introduce potential leakage risks.

[0004] To address the inherent limitations of manual assembly, automated sealing ring assembly equipment has been gradually introduced and widely applied in production processes. However, for workpieces with grooves on their sidewalls, the sealing ring needs to be embedded within these grooves. Faced with such assembly requirements, the installation accuracy of current automated assembly equipment often falls short of ideal standards, resulting in deviations in the neatness of the assembled sealing ring's edges and the precision of its position. This limits further improvements in product quality. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a sealing ring assembly machine that assembles in a vertical direction, which can automatically install the sealing ring into the groove on the side wall of the workpiece, thereby improving assembly efficiency and installation accuracy and avoiding installation deviation.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A sealing ring assembly machine for vertical assembly includes a housing, a feeding assembly, and an assembly assembly. The feeding assembly and the assembly assembly are connected and installed in the housing. The assembly assembly includes a clamping mechanism, a fixing part, and a guiding mechanism. The fixing part has a through hole. The guiding mechanism includes a lifting assembly and a guide rod. The lifting assembly slides with the through hole, and the bottom of the guide rod contacts the top of the lifting assembly. The clamping mechanism includes a driving device and two clamping blocks. The two clamping blocks are symmetrically installed on the driving device. The driving device drives the clamping blocks to open and close. When the two clamping blocks are closed, their closed parts form a mating hole, and the guide rod slides with the mating hole.

[0008] In this solution, the feeding assembly and the assembly assembly together constitute a complete automated assembly system. Through the precise cooperation of the feeding assembly and the assembly assembly, the rapid assembly of the workpiece sealing ring is achieved. During the assembly process, the feeding assembly automatically transfers components such as the sealing ring to the assembly assembly. At this point, the two clamping blocks are in a closed state, forming a mating hole at the closure point. The lifting assembly moves downwards. Because the guide rod has a columnar structure that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, its lower end slides in the mating hole. Therefore, the lifting assembly separates from the guide rod as it moves downwards, creating a gap between them. The sealing ring can then pass through the feeding assembly to the through hole of the fixing part, thus becoming coaxial with the lifting assembly and the guide rod. Next, the lifting assembly rises, passing through the inner ring of the sealing ring and contacting the guide rod. At this point, the operator needs to install the workpiece with the sealing ring to be assembled on the upper end of the guide rod and manually apply pressure. As the guide rod moves downwards, the lifting assembly also moves downwards. The sealing ring, due to its own elasticity, is stretched open by the guide rod and fitted onto it. Subsequently, the two clamping blocks separate, the lifting assembly drives the guide rod upwards, and then the two clamping blocks close. The operator continues to apply pressure, causing the workpiece mounted on the guide rod to move downwards. This causes the sealing ring to interfere with the top of the clamping block, resulting in the sealing ring sliding upwards along the guide rod and eventually fitting onto the side wall of the workpiece. This design helps ensure the sealing ring is precisely installed within the groove on the workpiece's side wall, reducing potential errors from manual operation and assembly time, thereby further improving assembly efficiency.

[0009] Furthermore, the guide rod includes a sliding part and a supporting part. The sliding part slidably engages with the mating hole, and the supporting part is fixedly positioned above it. The diameter of the supporting part is larger than that of the sliding part, and a fixing hole is provided at the top of the supporting part. The design of the sliding part can accurately guide the transfer of the sealing ring. At the same time, combined with the larger diameter of the supporting part, it can apply appropriate support force to the sealing ring. Thus, when installing the sealing ring on the workpiece, one end of the workpiece is installed in the fixing hole at the top of the supporting part. Through the cooperation of the guide rod and the clamping block, the sealing ring can be smoothly fitted onto the workpiece, effectively preventing deformation or displacement of the parts during assembly, thereby further improving the stability and reliability of the assembly.

[0010] Furthermore, a limiting part is installed above the fixing part, and a limiting groove is provided on the limiting part. One end of the limiting groove extends to the edge of the limiting part, and the feeding component communicates with the limiting groove. The design of the limiting groove provides a clear positioning reference for the sealing ring. When the feeding component delivers the sealing ring to the limiting groove, the sealing ring is fixed in the limiting groove, thereby effectively avoiding problems such as displacement or skewing of the sealing ring during assembly, and improving the assembly accuracy and reliability.

[0011] Furthermore, the feeding assembly includes a feeding component and a pushing component. The feeding component is located on one side of the pushing component and is connected to it. The feeding component includes a vibratory feeder, a feeding channel, and a feeding section. The feeding section is provided with a guide groove, one end of which is connected to the feeding channel, and the other end is connected to a limiting groove. The feeding component and the pushing component are connected to form a complete automated feeding system. The vibratory feeder can automatically arrange the sealing rings in an orderly manner and transport them into the feeding channel, and then transport them to the guide groove. This automated continuous feeding method greatly improves feeding efficiency, reduces manual intervention, reduces labor intensity, and improves production efficiency.

[0012] Furthermore, the pushing assembly includes a translation cylinder and a push plate. The piston rod of the push plate is fixedly connected to the push plate, and the translation cylinder pushes the push plate to move in a direction perpendicular to the limiting groove. When the translation cylinder actuates, it can accurately push the push plate to move in a predetermined direction. This precise pushing action ensures that the sealing ring in the guide groove is accurately delivered to the limiting groove, avoiding possible deviations or instabilities during the pushing process, and improving the assembly accuracy and reliability.

[0013] Furthermore, the lifting assembly includes a lifting cylinder and a sliding rod. The piston rod of the lifting cylinder is fixedly connected to the sliding rod, and the lifting cylinder controls the vertical movement of the sliding rod. A guide rod is movably mounted on the top of the sliding rod. As a supporting component for the guide rod, the sliding rod provides stable support, making the vertical movement of the guide rod smoother. This stable guiding function effectively reduces potential swaying or deviation of the guide rod during movement.

[0014] Furthermore, the housing is equipped with an assembly port and a discharge port. The assembly port is located above the clamping mechanism, and the discharge port is located above the vibratory feeder. The assembly port design facilitates the operator in mounting the workpiece onto the guide rod and performing the operation. The discharge port, positioned directly above the vibratory feeder, allows the sealing ring to enter the vibratory feeder directly through the discharge port and then proceed to the subsequent conveying stage, improving work efficiency.

[0015] In summary, this sealing ring assembly machine, which assembles sealing rings vertically, uses an automated method to insert the sealing rings into the grooves on the side wall of the workpiece, reducing the degree of manual intervention, improving assembly efficiency and installation accuracy, and thus avoiding installation deviations.

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0025] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the orientation and positional relationship indicated by terms such as "up", "down", "left", "right", "front", "back", "vertical", "bottom", "inner", and "outer" are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description. They are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, a sealing ring assembly machine for vertical assembly includes a housing 1, a feeding assembly 2, and an assembly assembly 3. The feeding assembly 2 and the assembly assembly 3 are connected and installed in the housing 1. The assembly assembly 3 includes a clamping mechanism 31, a fixing part 32, and a guiding mechanism 33. The fixing part 32 is provided with a through hole 321. The guiding mechanism 33 includes a lifting assembly 331 and a guide rod 332. The lifting assembly 331 is slidably engaged with the through hole 321. The bottom of the guide rod 332 contacts the top of the lifting assembly 331. The clamping mechanism 31 includes a driving device 311 and two clamping blocks 312. The two clamping blocks 312 are symmetrically installed on the driving device 311. The driving device 311 drives the clamping blocks 312 to open and close. When the two clamping blocks 312 are closed, their closed parts form a mating hole 313. The guide rod 332 is slidably engaged with the mating hole 313.

[0027] In this solution, the feeding assembly 2 and the assembly assembly 3 together constitute a complete automated assembly system. Through the precise cooperation of the feeding assembly 2 and the assembly assembly 3, the rapid assembly of the workpiece sealing ring is achieved. During the assembly process, the feeding assembly 2 automatically transfers the sealing ring and other components to the assembly assembly 3. At this time, the two clamping blocks 312 are in a closed state, forming a mating hole 313 at the closed point. The lifting assembly 331 moves downwards. Because the guide rod 332 has a columnar structure that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, the lower end of the guide rod 332 slides in the mating hole 313. Therefore, when the lifting assembly 331 moves downwards, it separates from the guide rod 332, creating a gap between them. The sealing ring can then pass through the feeding assembly 2 to reach the through hole 321 of the fixing part 32, thus becoming coaxial with the lifting assembly 331 and the guide rod 332. Next, the lifting assembly 331 rises, passes through the inner ring of the sealing ring, and contacts the guide rod 332. At this point, the operator needs to install the workpiece with the sealing ring to be assembled on the upper end of the guide rod 332 and manually apply pressure. As the guide rod 332 moves downward, the lifting assembly 331 also moves downward. The sealing ring, due to its own elasticity, is stretched open by the guide rod 332 and fitted onto it. Subsequently, the two clamping blocks 312 separate, and the lifting assembly 331 drives the guide rod 332 upward, after which the two clamping blocks 312 close. The operator continues to apply pressure, causing the workpiece mounted on the guide rod 332 to move downward. The sealing ring interferes with the top of the clamping block 312, causing it to slide upward along the guide rod 332 and finally fit onto the side wall of the workpiece. This design helps ensure that the sealing ring is accurately installed in the groove on the side wall of the workpiece, reducing errors and assembly time that may occur during manual operation, thereby further improving assembly efficiency.

[0028] Preferably, the guide rod 332 includes a sliding part 3321 and a supporting part 3322. The sliding part 3321 is slidably engaged with the mating hole 313, and the supporting part 3322 is fixedly disposed above the supporting part 3322. The diameter of the supporting part 3322 is larger than the diameter of the sliding part 3321, and a fixing hole 333 is provided at the top of the supporting part 3322. The design of the sliding part 3321 can accurately guide the transfer of the sealing ring. At the same time, combined with the larger diameter of the supporting part 3322, it can apply appropriate support force to the sealing ring. Thus, when installing the sealing ring on the workpiece, one end of the workpiece is installed in the fixing hole 333 at the top of the supporting part 3322. Through the cooperation of the guide rod 332 and the clamping block 312, the sealing ring can be smoothly fitted onto the workpiece, effectively preventing deformation or displacement of the parts during assembly, thereby further improving the stability and reliability of the assembly.

[0029] Preferably, a limiting part 34 is installed above the fixing part 32, and a limiting groove 341 is provided on the limiting part 34. One end of the limiting groove 341 extends to the edge of the limiting part 34, and the feeding assembly 2 communicates with the limiting groove 341. The design of the limiting groove 341 can provide a clear positioning reference for the sealing ring. When the feeding assembly 2 delivers the sealing ring to the limiting groove 341, the sealing ring is fixed in the limiting groove 341, thereby effectively avoiding problems such as displacement or skewing of the sealing ring during assembly, and improving the assembly accuracy and reliability.

[0030] Preferably, the feeding assembly 2 includes a feeding component 21 and a pushing component 22. The feeding component 21 is located on one side of the pushing component 22 and communicates with it. The feeding component 21 includes a vibratory feeder 211, a feeding channel 212, and a feeding section 213. The feeding section 213 is provided with a guide groove 241, one end of which communicates with the feeding channel 212, and the other end communicates with a limiting groove 341. The feeding assembly 21 and the pushing component 22 communicate to form a complete automated feeding system. The vibratory feeder 211 can automatically arrange the sealing rings in an orderly manner and transport them into the feeding channel 212, and then transport them into the guide groove 241. This automated continuous feeding method greatly improves feeding efficiency, reduces manual intervention, reduces labor intensity, and improves production efficiency.

[0031] Preferably, the pushing assembly 22 includes a translation cylinder 221 and a push plate 222. The piston rod of the push plate 222 is fixedly connected to the push plate 222. The translation cylinder 221 pushes the push plate 222 to move, and the direction of movement of the push plate 222 is perpendicular to the limiting groove 341. When the translation cylinder 221 is activated, it can accurately push the push plate 222 to move along a predetermined direction. This precise pushing action can ensure that the sealing ring in the guide groove 241 is accurately delivered to the limiting groove 341, avoiding possible deviations or instabilities during the pushing process, and improving the assembly accuracy and reliability.

[0032] Preferably, the lifting assembly 331 includes a lifting cylinder 3311 and a sliding rod 3312. The piston rod of the lifting cylinder 3311 is fixedly connected to the sliding rod 3312. The lifting cylinder 3311 controls the movement of the sliding rod 3312 in the vertical direction. A guide rod 332 is movably mounted on the top of the sliding rod 3312. The sliding rod 3312, as a supporting component for the guide rod 332, provides stable support force, making the vertical movement of the guide rod 332 smoother. This stable guiding function effectively reduces possible swaying or deviation of the guide rod 332 during movement.

[0033] Preferably, the housing 1 has an assembly port 11 and a discharge port 12. The assembly port 11 is located above the clamping mechanism 31, and the discharge port 12 is located above the vibratory feeder 211. The design of the assembly port 11 facilitates the operator in installing the workpiece on the guide rod 332 and performing the operation. The discharge port 12 is located directly above the vibratory feeder 211, and the sealing ring enters the vibratory feeder 211 directly through the discharge port 12 and then enters the subsequent conveying process, improving work efficiency.

[0034] In summary, this sealing ring assembly machine, which assembles sealing rings vertically, uses an automated method to insert the sealing rings into the grooves on the side wall of the workpiece, reducing the degree of manual intervention, improving assembly efficiency and installation accuracy, and thus avoiding installation deviations.
