the XZ-axis rectangular coordinate robot (2) clamps the outer ring (7) of the hub bearing and is driven by a Z-axis motor (219) to move downwards for assembly; one end of the retainer (6) which is supported by the second spring (304) and is provided with the balls is firstly arranged in the outer ring (7) of the hub bearing, and in the process, the retainer (6) provided with the balls is obliquely arranged, and the balls are smooth, so that the position of the balls can be automatically adjusted, and the process can be smoothly finished without extrusion force;
after one end of the retainer (6) provided with the balls is arranged in the hub bearing outer ring (7), the hub bearing outer ring (7) continues to move downwards, the elastic force of the second spring (304) can be overcome, the retainer (6) provided with the balls tends to move from an inclined state to a horizontal state, when a certain position is reached, extrusion force is required to act on the retainer (6) provided with the balls, the retainer (6) provided with the balls is deformed, the requirement that the maximum outer diameter is smaller than the inner diameter of the hub bearing outer ring (7) is met, the retainer can be continuously arranged, and the extrusion force in the process is provided by the first spring (310);
the XZ-axis rectangular coordinate robot (2) clamps a hub bearing outer ring (7) to press downwards, a buffer guide shaft (307) moves downwards to extrude a first spring (310) to press downwards gradually, upward extrusion force provided by the first spring (310) can be increased gradually, when the extrusion force is greater than a certain value, a retainer (6) provided with balls is deformed sufficiently, the retainer (6) provided with the balls can be completely extruded into the hub bearing outer ring (7), and the assembly of a first retainer (6) provided with the balls on the hub bearing outer ring (7) is completed;
s6, conveying the hub bearing outer ring (7) to the position right above a second auxiliary assembly table (3) by an XZ axis rectangular coordinate robot (2), transmitting rotary motion to a turning shaft (204) through a switching sleeve (209) by a turning cylinder (217) to drive a clamping manipulator to turn 180 degrees, facing the other side of the hub bearing outer ring (7) downwards, and then repeating the step S5, wherein the hub bearing outer ring (7) is driven by the XZ axis rectangular coordinate robot (2) to complete the assembly of a second ball-loaded retainer (6) on the hub bearing outer ring (7);
s7, the XZ axis rectangular coordinate robot (2) sends the automobile hub bearing outer ring (7) assembly which is assembled to a transmission belt, and then sends the automobile hub bearing outer ring assembly to the next station, and then the XZ axis rectangular coordinate robot (2) returns to the initial position.
