Abstract
Abstract A device for assembling cylindrical primary current sources intended for use in assembly line production where high output and reliability are of major importance. It comprises a conveyor, a feed rotor, an arm and guides for delivering to the working tools a group of cylindrical cells in a row, and a rack with teeth whose length decreases uniformly from the rack center to its ends, said rack being intended to fix the cylindrical cells in working positions, and a drive motor with a synchronizing mechanism which has the first, second and third shafts, the third shaft being provided with cams kinematically linked with the working tools, the rack and the arm.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
313 words
A device for assembling cylindrical primary current sources comprising: a group of working tools arranged in a row above the zone of working positions; an appliance delivering to said working tools a group of cylindrical cells in a row, the number of said cells corresponding to that of said working tools; a mechanism for fixing said group of said cylindrical cells in said working positions under said working tools made in the form of a rack with cutouts whose width corresponds to the diameter of said cylindrical cells and with teeth whose length decreases uniformly from the center of said rack towards its ends; a drive motor; a mechanism for synchronizing the assembly operations performed in accordance with a preset program; a conveyor of said appliance for delivering said group of cylindrical cells arranged in a row; a feed rotor of said appliance for delivering said group of said cylindrical cells arranged in a row, said rotor being located at the end of said conveyor; guides of said appliance for delivering said group of cylindrical cells in a row, arranged tangentially to said feed rotor and having ports for the passage of said teeth of said rack, said guides lying in parallel planes; an arm of said appliance for delivering said group of cylindrical cells arranged in a row, said arm being located between said guides with a provision for reciprocating motion; a central tooth of said rack provided with a two-sided cut at the end thereof at an angle which is smaller than 90°; and side teeth of said rack arranged symmetrically to the nearest cut of said central tooth and provided with identical one-sided external cuts at the ends, the angle of said cuts being smaller than 45° and the top of each successive side tooth is lower than the apex of the obtuse angle of cut of the preceding tooth.

A device for assembling cylindrical primary current sources comprising: a group of working tools arranged in a row above the zone of working positions; an appliance delivering to said working tools a group of cylindrical cells in a row, the number of said cells corresponding to that of said working tools; a mechanism for fixing said group of said cylindrical cells in said working positions under said working tools made in the form of a rack with cutouts whose width corresponds to the diameter of said cylindrical cells and with teeth whose length decreases uniformly from the center of said rack towards its ends; a drive motor; a mechanism for synchronizing the assembly operations performed in accordance with a preset program; a conveyor of said appliance for delivering said group of cylindrical cells arranged in a row; a feed rotor of said appliance for delivering said group of said cylindrical cells arranged in a row, said rotor being located at the end of said conveyor; guides of said appliance for delivering said group of cylindrical cells in a row, arranged tangentially to said feed rotor and having ports for the passage of said teeth of said rack, said guides lying in parallel planes; an arm of said appliance for delivering said group of cylindrical cells arranged in a row, said arm being located between said guides with a provision for reciprocating motion; a central tooth of said rack provided with a two-sided cut at the end thereof at an angle which is smaller than 90°; and side teeth of said rack arranged symmetrically to the nearest cut of said central tooth and provided with identical one-sided external cuts at the ends, the angle of said cuts being smaller than 45° and the top of each successive side tooth is lower than the apex of the obtuse angle of cut of the preceding tooth.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
215 words
A device according to claim 1 wherein said mechanism for synchronizing the assembly operations performed in accordance with a preset program comprises: a first shaft of said synchronizing mechanism whose first end is linked kinematically with said drive motor; a second shaft of said synchronizing mechanism kinematically linked with said conveyor and said rotor; a third shaft of said synchronizing mechanism; first cams installed on said third shaft and having profiles corresponding to a preset program and linked kinematically with said working tools to reciprocate the latter during rotation of said third shaft; a second cam secured on said third shaft in a preset position relative to said first cams, having a profile of its own and linked kinematically with the rack to reciprocate the latter during rotation of said third shaft; a third cam secured on said third shaft in a preset position relative to said first and second cams, having a profile of its own to correspond to the preset program and linked kinematically with said arm to reciprocate the latter along said guides during rotation of said third shaft; and, the other end of said first shaft is mechanically coupled with the ends of said second and third shafts by gears at a speed ratio determined by the program of assembly operations.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
35 words
A device according to claim 1, wherein: the planes of said guides are perpendicular to the plane of said rack; and, the plane of the central tooth of said rack is perpendicular to said guides.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
35 words
A device according to claim 2, wherein: the plane of said guides are perpendicular to the plane of said rack; and, the plane of the central tooth of said rack is perpendicular to said guides.
