APPARATUS FOR MUTUAL ORIENTATION OF PARTS AT ASSEMBLING PROCESS Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: machine engineering, namely automatization of assembling operations, possibly automatic assembling of shaft-sleeve type assemblies with use of robots. SUBSTANCE: apparatus includes housing with openings; orienting attachment in the form of flanged rod arranged with gap inside housing. Orienting attachment is provided with two sleeves having inclined openings and mounted with possibility of rotation. Inclination angles of axial openings of sleeves are selected according to condition of crossing axes of openings of housing and sleeves in one point laid on lower end of apparatus. On outer surface of one sleeve blades are mounted; its inner surface is threaded and another sleeve is mounted by means of said thread for regulating inclination angle of rod which is mounted in sleeve by sliding fit. Housing is made with possibility of supplying compressed air through its openings for creating rotation motion of sleeve with blades. Rod is mounted with possibility of its oscillations caused by rotation of sleeve with blades. EFFECT: enlarged manufacturing possibilities, enhanced accuracy of orientation of assembled parts, possibility of using apparatus for moving robot arm carrying attachment. 2 dwg
