It includes a supply pipe section 284 that forms a pipe for supplying gas.

Hereinafter, an operating state of the detent lever assembly automated production apparatus 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The detent lever assembly 2 in which the shaft 5 is temporarily assembled on the tentent plate 3 moves to the product transfer unit 220 through the loading unit 210. The detent lever assembly 2 is mounted on the mounting unit 230 positioned below the loading unit 210 by the operations of the first loading driving unit 214 and the second loading driving unit 216 while being lifted by the gripping unit 212.

At this time, the pressure cylinder 239 below the loading portion 210 operates and the rod of the pressure cylinder 239 supports the lower end of the shaft 5 inserted below the mounting portion 230. The shaft 5 is located inside the mounting mold part 232 in a state of being temporarily coupled. Since the position adjusting pin member 234 is installed through the titant plate 3, it is possible to prevent erroneous assembly of the titen plate 3.

Then, since the power of the product transfer motor 240 is transmitted to the rotating plate 222 through the rotating gear portion 242, the rotating plate 222 rotates by a set angle. Therefore, the mounting portion 230 on which the detent lever assembly 2 is mounted moves together with the rotating plate 222 and moves to the detent lever assembly caulking portion 1.

The caulking operation of the detent lever assembly 2 by the detent lever assembly caulking unit 1 will be described in detail. When the spindle portion 10 operates and the spindle rod 14 moves downward, the fixed frame portion 20 attached to the spindle rod 14 also moves downward, so that the guide portion 50, the moving frame portion 40, and the rivet guide portion 70 are also moved. Move down. At this time, the pressing tool unit 30 that moves downward by the operation of the motor unit 16 is in a rotating state.

When the rivet guide portion 70 that is elastically deformed comes into contact with the upper side of the titen plate 3, the lower side movement is restrained. Further, the movement of the tentent plate 3 whose upper side is pressed by the rivet guide part 70 is also restrained inside the mounting mold part 232.

Further, the caulking support part 90 operates to support the lower side of the shaft 5 inserted in the vertical direction inside the mounting part 230, so that the shaft 5 can be supported at a set position.

Since the caulking support part 90 supports the lower end of the shaft 5 coupled to the tentent plate 3 using the driving force of the cylinder, the movement of the shaft 5 is restricted during the coking operation.

This will be described in more detail. The support drive unit 92 operates to move the support drive rod 94 in the horizontal direction and move the horizontal movement unit 96 in the direction of the support stopper 120. The support pressurizing unit 100 in contact with the moving inclined surface 97 moves upward along the support guide unit 105, and the support pressurizing rod 101 directly supports the lower end of the shaft 5 or the mounting receiving member 238 upwards. It is possible to stably support the lower end of the shaft 5 before pressurizing and coking.

When the support drive rod 94 returns toward the support drive main body 93 again, the operation of moving the support pressurizing unit 100 downward by the operation of the elastic return unit 107 is quickly performed. The movement of the horizontal movement unit 96 is measured by the movement detection sensor unit 125 and the measured value is transmitted to the control unit.

On the other hand, when adjusting the height of the take-out pressure rod 101 for supporting the lower end of the shaft 5, the adjustment screw 123 is rotated to adjust the stop position of the horizontal moving part 96. Can be adjusted.

In a state where the lower end of the shaft 5 is stably supported by the operation of the caulking support portion 90, the pressurizing tool portion 30 caulks the upper end of the shaft 5 that is temporarily coupled to the tentent plate 3. Since the pressurizing tool portion 30 is formed in a pipe shape and rotates inside the rivet guide portion 70 installed in a standing state, the caulking operation of the shaft 5 can be performed stably.

The rivet guide part 70 is restrained from moving downward together with the moving frame part 40, and the fixed frame part 20 moves downward together with the spindle rod 14 and stops moving at a set position. At this time, the distance between the fixed frame portion 20 and the moving frame portion 40 decreases during the work of caulking the shaft 5. Accordingly, the guide bar 52 protrudes above the fixed frame portion 20 and the elastic pressure portion 60. Is compressed.

Since the moving frame unit 40 and the rivet guide unit 70 can stably support the operation of the elastic pressing unit 60 by the operation of the guide unit 50 and the elastic pressing unit 60, the caulking work of the pressing tool unit 30 is also stable. Thus, the generation of cracks is reduced at the upper end of the shaft 5 where coking is performed.

Since the titent plate 3 is installed inside the mounting portion 230, which is a landfill mold, and the position adjustment pin member 234 is installed through the titen plate 3, the tilt plate 3 and the shaft 5 are shaken during caulking work. To prevent. Accordingly, since the shaft 5 is coupled with the titent plate 3 at a right angle, the defective rate of the product can be reduced.

Since the spindle rod 14 moves upward after the caulking operation is completed, the fixed frame portion 20, the moving frame portion 40, and the pressurizing tool portion 30 move to the upper side of the titant plate 3. At this time, since the moving frame unit 40 moves downward by the elastic force of the elastic pressing unit 60, the distance between the fixed frame unit 20 and the moving frame unit 40 can maintain the initial distance.

After the caulking operation of the detent lever assembly 2 is completed in the detent lever assembly caulking unit 1, the mounting unit 230 rotates together with the rotating plate 222 by a predetermined angle and stops at the demagnetizing unit 250. The demagnetizer 252 moves to the upper side of the mounting portion 230 to which the detent lever assembly 2 is mounted by the movement of the demagnetization transfer unit 256, and the magnetic force of the detent lever assembly 2 is removed. After the detent lever assembly 2 is demagnetized, the demagnetizer 252 moves in the horizontal direction away from the mounting portion 230 by the movement of the demagnetization transfer unit 256 again.

When the operation of the demagnetizing unit 250 is completed, the mounting unit 230 rotates together with the rotating plate 222 by a predetermined angle and stops at the unloading unit 270. The pressure cylinder 239 below the unloading portion 270 operates to lift the shaft 5 in the mounting portion 230 upward, and the vacuum holder portion 272 operates together with this to attract the detent lever assembly 2. Then, the detent lever assembly 2 is transferred to a subsequent process by the operations of the first unloading drive unit 274 and the second unloading drive unit 276.

When the operation of the unloading unit 270 is completed, the mounting unit 230 rotates together with the rotating plate 222 by a predetermined angle and stops at the cleaning unit 280. The mounting portion 230 in a state where the detent lever assembly 2 is unloaded is empty but may have foreign matter, and therefore, there is a possibility that foreign matter may be present. The taken-out gas that has moved through the supply pipe line part 284 is jetted into the mounting part 230 through the jet nozzle 282 to remove foreign substances in the mounting part 230.

When the operation of the cleaning unit 280 is completed, the mounting unit 230 rotates together with the rotating plate 222 by a predetermined angle, stops again at the loading unit 210, and receives the provisionally assembled detent lever assembly 2.

Since a plurality of mounting portions 230 are installed on the rotating plate 222 at a set angle, the detent lever assembly 2 is continuously supplied, coked, demagnetized, carried out, and cleaned, thereby improving productivity. And increase the degree of space utilization.

As described above, according to the present invention, the titent plate 3 and the shaft 5 supplied via the loading unit 210 are automatically coked by the detent lever assembly caulking unit 1, so that productivity can be improved. it can. Further, since the magnetism is automatically removed while the detent lever assembly 2 that has completed the caulking passes through the demagnetizing section 250, the time required for demagnetization of the detent lever assembly 2 can be reduced. In addition, since the detent lever assembly 2 that has been demagnetized is automatically transferred to a subsequent process by the unloading unit 270, labor costs can be reduced.

In addition, since the caulking operation is performed by inserting the shaft 5 after inserting the titten plate 3 into the mounting mold part 232, the movement of the titen plate 3 is restrained to reduce the defective rate of the product, and the detent lever assembly. Since the shaft 5 of the lee 2 can be automatically assembled to the tentent plate 3, the productivity can be improved.

In addition, since the lower side of the shaft 5 located inside the mounting mold part 232 is stably supported by the operation of the caulking support part 90, the shaft 5 can be prevented from shaking during the caulking work of the shaft 5, Since the squareness of the titent plate 3 and the shaft 5 can be maintained, the defect rate of the product can be reduced.

Further, since the shaft 5 of the detent lever assembly 2 used in the automatic transmission can be automatically assembled to the titent plate 3, the productivity can be improved.

Further, since the pressurizing tool portion 30 for pressurizing the shaft 5 is installed through the rivet guide portion 70 mounted on the moving frame portion 40, the caulking operation of the pressurizing tool portion 30 is guided and the caulking of the shaft 5 is performed. Since it is performed stably, the work defect rate can be reduced and the quality of the product can be improved.
