[0002] With the rapid development of textile machinery, the demand for products is surging, and there is also a greater need for improvement in other aspects. In the manufacturing process, independent innovation needs to be further enhanced, and in the assembly of textile machinery, bearings need to be installed inside the APF housing. Currently, the assembly production cycle of APF housing bearings is long and the overall efficiency is low, making it difficult to meet the needs of mass production. Because the assembly process relies on manual operation and lacks automated equipment and standardized processes, the stability and controllability of the production cycle are poor. In addition, the accuracy and consistency of manual assembly are difficult to guarantee, the quality of different batches of products fluctuates greatly, and the defect rate remains high. Frequent assembly errors and rework problems during the production process further slow down the production progress and increase manufacturing costs. At the same time, the existing process lacks high repeatability and consistency, making it difficult to consistently meet product quality standards, which restricts the expansion of production scale and the improvement of product competitiveness.
[0003] In summary, in order to improve the assembly efficiency of APF housing bearings, reduce the defect rate, and meet the needs of mass production, it is necessary to solve problems such as excessively long production cycle time, strong reliance on manual operation, unstable assembly accuracy, and insufficient process consistency, so as to make the production process more automated and standardized, thereby improving product quality stability and production efficiency.

[0016] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0017] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figures 1 to 5 An APF housing bearing assembly device includes a base 1, a control cabinet 2 fixed to the side of the base 1, a turntable 3 on the base 1, the turntable 3 being rotated by an external motor, eight circumferentially distributed positioning seats 4 fixed on the turntable 3, positioning rods 5 fixed inside the positioning seats 4, eight workstations on the base 1, feeding mechanisms for conveying housings and bearings are provided on workstations 1, 2, 4, 5, and 8, pressing mechanisms for assembling bearings are provided on workstations 3 and 6, a screw tightening assembly is provided on workstation 7, and a discharge slide 9 is provided on workstation 8.
[0018] It should be noted that the machine consists of eight stations. The first station is the loading station, where the housing is conveyed by a conveyor belt and then transported to the corresponding positioning seat 4 by a feeding mechanism. The second station places the first bearing, the third station presses the first bearing to ensure that the first bearing is in the same position as the bottom, the fourth station places the spacer, the fifth station places the second bearing, and the sixth station also presses in the second bearing, ensuring the depth to prevent the internal spacer from jamming. The seventh station is the set screw driving station, where the set screws are driven in horizontally after the screws are sorted. The eighth station is the unloading station.
[0019] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 1 and Figure 2The feeding mechanism includes a transverse component fixed on the base 1 and a longitudinal component disposed on the transverse component. The transverse component is used to drive the clamped part to move laterally, and the longitudinal component is used to lower the clamped part.
[0020] It should be noted that the feeding mechanism achieves automatic conveying and precise positioning of the housing and bearing through the coordinated movement of the transverse and longitudinal components, ensuring efficient loading and unloading at multiple workstations, reducing manual intervention, and improving the continuity and efficiency of the assembly process. A laser marking machine is also installed on the feeding mechanism at the third workstation to mark the production date of the housing.
[0021] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 1 and Figure 2 The lateral movement assembly includes multiple brackets 61 fixed on the base 1, a fixed frame 62 fixed on the brackets 61, a first cylinder 63 mounted on the fixed frame 62, a mounting bracket 64 fixed at the output end of the first cylinder 63, and a first guide rail 65 fixed on the fixed frame 62. The mounting bracket 64 is slidably connected to the first guide rail 65, and the first cylinder 63 is used to drive the mounting bracket 64 to move.
[0022] It should be noted that the transverse assembly uses bracket 61 and fixed frame 62 to provide stable support, and the first cylinder 63 pushes the mounting frame 64 to slide along the first guide rail 65 to achieve precise transverse movement of the gripped parts, thereby improving the reliability and repeatability of the conveying process.
[0023] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 1 and Figure 2 The longitudinal movement assembly includes a second cylinder 66 fixed on the mounting bracket 64, a mounting seat 67 fixed on the output end of the second cylinder 66, a pneumatic gripper 68 mounted on the mounting seat 67, and a second guide rail 69 fixed on the mounting bracket 64. The mounting seat 67 is slidably connected to the second guide rail 69, and the second cylinder 66 is used to drive the mounting seat 67 to move.
[0024] It should be noted that the longitudinal movement component drives the mounting base 67 to move vertically along the second guide rail 69 via the second cylinder 66, so that the pneumatic gripper 68 can complete the lifting and lowering of the parts, ensuring that the parts are placed in the correct position and reducing assembly errors.
[0025] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 1 and Figure 3 The pressing mechanism includes a mounting component disposed on the base 1 and a pressing component disposed on the mounting component. The mounting component is used to fix the pressing component, and the pressing component is used to press down the bearing.
[0026] It should be noted that the pressing mechanism uses the pressing component to apply controllable pressure to press the bearing in, ensuring consistent assembly position, preventing internal jamming, and improving product quality stability.
[0027] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 1 and Figure 3 The mounting assembly includes a fixing plate 71 fixed on the base 1 and a fixing seat 72 disposed on the fixing plate 71. The fixing seat 72 is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 71 by bolts.
[0028] It should be noted that the mounting components are rigidly fixed by the fixing plate 71 and the fixing base 72, ensuring that the pressing components are firmly installed and maintaining the overall stability during the pressing process.
[0029] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 1 and Figure 3 The pressing assembly includes a third cylinder 73 fixed on a fixed base 72, a connector 74 fixed on the output end of the third cylinder 73, and a push rod 75 mounted on the connector 74. The third cylinder 73 is used to drive the connector 74 to rise and fall.
[0030] It should be noted that the pressing assembly uses the third cylinder 73 to drive the connector 74 and the push rod 75 to move up and down, so as to apply pressure evenly to the bearing, accurately control the pressing depth, and ensure assembly accuracy.
[0031] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 1 and Figure 5 The screw tightening assembly includes a connecting seat 81 fixed on the base 1, a fourth cylinder 82 mounted on the connecting seat 81, a first slide 83 and a second slide 84 slidably connected on the connecting seat 81, a drive motor 85 fixed on the first slide 83, and a screw positioning sleeve 86 rotatably connected on the second slide 84. The output end of the drive motor 85 is fixedly connected to the screw positioning sleeve 86. The fourth cylinder 82 is used to push the first slide 83 and the second slide 84.
[0032] It should be noted that the screw is fed into the screw positioning sleeve 86 by the external screw conveying mechanism. The screw tightening assembly pushes the first slide 83 and the second slide 84 to move laterally by the fourth cylinder 82. The drive motor 85 drives the screw positioning sleeve 86 to rotate, which efficiently completes the screw tightening and ensures the consistency and reliability of screw assembly.
[0033] Working principle: The housing is conveyed to station one by a conveyor belt. The mounting bracket 64, driven by the first cylinder 63, moves laterally along the first guide rail 65. Simultaneously, the pneumatic gripper 68, driven by the second cylinder 66, lowers the housing along the second guide rail 69, precisely placing it into the positioning seat 4 of the turntable 3. The turntable 3 rotates to station two, where the pneumatic gripper 68 places the first bearing at the bottom of the housing. When moving to station three, the third cylinder 73 on the fixing plate 71 drives the connector 74 and the push rod 75 to press down the bearing, ensuring consistent pressing depth. Simultaneously, a laser marking machine marks the production date on the housing surface. At station four, the pneumatic gripper 68 inserts the spacer. At station five, the second bearing is placed, and at station six… The second bearing is pressed in by the third cylinder 73. In station seven, the externally conveyed set screw enters the screw positioning sleeve 86. The fourth cylinder 82 pushes the first slide 83 and the second slide 84 to move laterally. The drive motor 85 drives the screw positioning sleeve 86 to rotate and lock the screw. Finally, it moves to station eight. The finished product is output through the discharge slide 9. The whole process is controlled by the PLC. The intermediate relays, AC contactors, circuit breakers, routers and sensors in the circuit output or input different signals to the PLC, so that when the parts or pneumatic grippers 68 of each station are in place, the next action can be performed. This realizes continuous cyclic operation of eight stations, ensuring assembly accuracy and efficiency.
[0034] It should be noted that the control method of this utility model is controlled by a controller. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by simple programming by those skilled in the art. The power supply is also common knowledge in the art.
