DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0041] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

When a component is referred to as being "connected to" another component, it may be directly or indirectly connected to the other component. The directions or positions indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "front", "back", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc. are based on the directions or positions shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of description and cannot be understood as limitations on the present technical solution. The terms "first" and "second" are only used for the convenience of description and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features. "Multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0043] It should be noted that the material of the present invention can be a slingshot or other materials, and the present invention will be described in detail below by taking the slingshot as an example. Accordingly, the box body is a plastic box.

[0044] At present, the demand for automated assembly equipment is increasing. For example, the power adapters in the past were manually assembled, with low output, low efficiency, and low yield. Among them, the power adapter mainly includes a bullet, a plastic box, a slingshot, and a PIN pin. Currently, these components are assembled manually. The embodiment of the present invention mainly realizes automation of the assembly of the slingshot, and automatically loads the slingshot into the plastic box. The present invention can not only improve the production efficiency of the product but also ensure the product quality. At the same time, it can liberate a large amount of labor and let people spend their energy on more appropriate work.

[0045] In order to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, a detailed description is given below in conjunction with specific drawings and embodiments.

[0046] See also Figure 1 and Figure 5 The embodiment of the present invention first provides a material receiving device, including a material grabbing mechanism 1, a mold core 8, a preparation station 3, a defect detection station 4, a processing station 5 and an assembly station 6. The material grabbing mechanism 1 is used to grab the slingshot 10; the preparation station 3, the defect detection station 4, the processing station 5 and the assembly station 6 are connected to the mold core 8 in sequence.

[0047] The preparation station 3 is used to place the slingshot 10 into the mold core 8 connected to the preparation station 3; the defect detection station 4 is used to detect whether the slingshot 10 in the mold core 8 connected to the defect detection station 4 meets the preset assembly conditions; the processing station 5 is used to process the slingshot 10 that does not meet the preset assembly conditions in the mold core 8 connected to the processing station 5. For example, the slingshot 10 that does not meet the preset assembly conditions in the mold core 8 is removed, which can prevent the slingshot 10 that does not meet the preset assembly conditions from being loaded into the plastic box; the assembly station 6 is used to load the slingshot 10 in the mold core 8 connected to the assembly station 6 into the box body.

[0048] It is worth mentioning that the processing station 5 does not only process unqualified slingshots 10. When there is only one unqualified slingshot 10 among the two slingshots 10 in the mold core 8, the other qualified slingshot 10 will also be processed.

[0049] In a specific application, the material incoming device further comprises a frame 9, and the material grabbing mechanism 1, the preparation station 3, the defect detection station 4, the processing station 5, and the assembly station 6 can all be arranged on the working surface 91 of the frame 9. In addition, the frame 9 can accommodate an electrical control device.

[0050] Taking the slingshot 1 as an example, the present embodiment automatically grabs the slingshot 10 by setting a material grabbing mechanism 1, and then transfers the slingshot 10 to the core mold 8 of the preparation station 3. After the slingshot 10 is loaded, the core mold 8 can be connected to the defect detection station 4, the processing station 5 and the assembly station 6 in sequence to perform defect detection on the slingshot 10 in the core mold 8 and remove the slingshot 10 that does not meet the preset assembly conditions in the core mold 8. Finally, the slingshot 10 that meets the preset assembly conditions is loaded into the plastic box at the assembly station 6. The whole process is automated and does not require human participation. It can not only improve product production efficiency but also ensure product quality. At the same time, it can liberate a large amount of labor, allowing people to spend their energy on more appropriate work, thereby reducing production costs.

[0051] In one embodiment of the present invention, the incoming material device also includes a transmission mechanism, and the transmission mechanism is provided with a core 8 along its conveying direction. Among them, the core 8 can be one or more. In order to improve the assembly efficiency, the core 8 is preferably four, and the four cores 8 are arranged at intervals along the conveying direction of the transmission mechanism. In a certain state, the preparation station 3, the defect detection station 4, the processing station 5 and the assembly station 6 are respectively connected to a core 8. With the movement of the transmission mechanism, each core 8 is sequentially connected to the preparation station 3, the defect detection station 4, the processing station 5 and the assembly station 6 to complete an assembly. Then the core 8 moves to the preparation station 3 again through the transmission mechanism to enter the preparation work for the next assembly. This cycle allows the incoming material device to work continuously, thereby improving the assembly efficiency.

[0052] In one embodiment of the present invention, the transmission mechanism is a working turntable 2, which is rotatable and can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise. The working turntable 2 is provided with four mold cores 8 equidistantly arranged in sequence along its circumference, and the four mold cores 8 can rotate together with the working turntable 2. In this embodiment, the preparation station 3, the defect detection station 4, the processing station 5 and the assembly station 6 are arranged at equal intervals along the circumference of the working turntable 2. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the transmission mechanism can also be other modes such as a conveyor belt.

[0053] In one embodiment of the present invention, the incoming material device further includes a turning platform 7, which is disposed between the material grabbing mechanism 1 and the preparation station 3, and is used to transfer the slingshot 10 grabbed by the material grabbing mechanism 1 to the preparation station 3. The setting of the turning platform 7 solves the problem of limited activity space of the material grabbing mechanism 1. It is understandable that when the incoming material device is not provided with the turning platform 7, the slingshot 10 can also be directly grabbed to the preparation station 3 by the material grabbing mechanism 1.

[0054] Please combine Figure 2 and Figure 3In one embodiment of the present invention, the material grabbing mechanism 1 includes a material tray 11 and a manipulator 12. The material tray 11 is horizontally arranged and used to place the slingshots 10, for example, the slingshots 10 are neatly arranged or randomly arranged on the surface of the material tray 11. The manipulator 12 is arranged on one side of the material tray 11, and the manipulator 12 is used to grab the slingshots 10 on the material tray 11 and transfer the grabbed slingshots 10 to one end of the turning platform 7. In this embodiment, the slingshots 10 are grabbed by the manipulator 12, so that automatic operation can be achieved, and the grabbing accuracy is high.

[0055] In a specific application, the manipulator 12 is disposed on the working surface 91 of the frame 9, and the material tray 11 can be supported on the ground by a supporting structure, and the height of the material tray 11 is selected and set according to actual needs.

[0056] The manipulator 12 may be specifically a three-axis manipulator, and the posture of the end of the manipulator 12 may be adjusted by rotating each of the manipulator arms of the manipulator 12 , thereby adjusting the posture of the slingshot 10 clamped at the end of the manipulator 12 .

[0057] Please combine Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one embodiment of the present invention, the manipulator 12 includes a manipulator body 121 and at least one set of clamps rotatably disposed at the end of the manipulator body 121, and the clamps are used to clamp the slingshot 10 on the material tray 11. Among them, a set of clamps can clamp one slingshot 10 at a time. In this embodiment, since the slingshot 10 is small in size, the slingshot 10 on the material tray 11 can be firmly clamped by setting the clamps. In a specific application, in order to improve the working efficiency of the material grabbing mechanism 1, two sets of clamps are set at the end of the manipulator body 121. In addition, the manipulator body 121 is set on the working surface 91 of the frame 9 through the base 122.

[0058] Specifically, a first rotating driving member 123 and a second rotating driving member 124 are disposed opposite to each other at the end of the manipulator body 121, wherein the first rotating driving member 123 and the second rotating driving member 124 are disposed vertically and parallel to each other, and the output ends of the first rotating driving member 123 and the second rotating driving member 124 are disposed opposite to each other. A first clamping driving member 125 is connected to the output end of the first rotating driving member 123, and the first clamping driving member 125 can rotate along a vertical plane under the drive of the first rotating driving member 123, and two first fingers 126 are connected to the output end of the first clamping driving member 125, and the first clamping driving member 125 is used to drive the two first fingers 126 to clamp or open, so as to grab or release the slingshot 10. The output end of the second rotary drive member 124 is connected to a second clamping drive member 127, which can rotate along a vertical plane under the drive of the second rotary drive member 124. Two second fingers 128 are connected to the output end of the second clamping drive member 127, and the second clamping drive member 127 is used to drive the two second fingers 128 to clamp or open to grab or release the slingshot 10. In this embodiment, the first finger 126 and the second finger 128 have the same structure, and the first finger 126 and the second finger 128 are both hook-shaped. Preferably, the first rotary drive member 123 is a first rotary cylinder, the second rotary drive member 124 is a second rotary cylinder, the first clamping drive member 125 is a first clamping cylinder, and the second clamping drive member 127 is a second clamping cylinder.

[0059] Preferably, the first clamping drive member 125 and the second clamping drive member 127 are spaced a certain distance apart. When the first clamp and the second clamp make rotational motion in a vertical plane, the opening and closing direction of the first finger 126 of the first clamp is perpendicular to the direction of the first clamp, and the opening and closing direction of the second finger 128 of the second clamp is perpendicular to the direction of the second clamp, so that the opening and closing of the first finger 126 and the opening and closing of the second finger 128 will not affect each other.

[0060] In one embodiment of the present invention, the material tray 11 is a light-transmitting material, that is, the material tray 11 is made of a light-transmitting material, such as glass. In this embodiment, the material grabbing mechanism 1 also includes a backlight panel and a first image sensor, wherein the backlight panel is arranged below the material tray 11, and the first image sensor is arranged above the material tray 11. The function of the first image sensor is to capture the image of the slingshot 10, and the function of the backlight panel is to provide conditions for the first image sensor to capture the backlight image of the slingshot 10, so as to identify the outline of the slingshot 10. In a specific application, two material trays 11 can be provided, and the two material trays 11 are used alternately. In addition, a cleaning structure for cleaning the material tray 11 and a feeding structure for scattering the slingshot 10 to the material tray 11 can also be arranged on one side of the material tray 11. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the material tray 11 can also be made of other materials.

[0061] Please combine Figure 8 In one embodiment of the present invention, the turning platform 7 includes a first bracket 71, a platform 72, two wings 73 and two adapters 74. Among them, the first bracket 71 can be placed on the working surface 91 of the frame 9; the platform 72 is arranged on the first bracket 71 and can rotate along the horizontal plane; the two wings 73 are respectively arranged on the opposite ends of the platform 72, and when the platform 72 rotates, it will drive the wings 73 to rotate synchronously; the adapter 74 is arranged at the end of the wing 73 away from the platform 72 and can rotate along the vertical plane, and the adapter 74 is used to hold the slingshot 10. The above-mentioned manipulator 12 is used to place the slingshot 10 into the adapter 74 at the end of the turning platform 7 close to the manipulator 12, and the adapter 74 at the end of the turning platform 7 away from the manipulator 12 is used to cooperate with the preparation station 3. In this embodiment, the wings 73 and the adapter 74 at both ends of the platform 72 are symmetrically arranged. Among them, the horizontal plane and the vertical plane are both with Figure 1 The orientation shown in the figure shall prevail.

[0062] In this embodiment, a turning platform 7 is arranged between the manipulator 12 and the preparation station 3. Since the platform 72 of the turning platform 7 can rotate along the horizontal plane, the wings 73 at both ends of the platform 72 are driven to rotate. The rotation of the wings 73 further drives the adapter 74 and the slingshot 10 on the adapter 74 to rotate, so that the slingshot 10 can be automatically moved to the preparation station 3 by the manipulator 12, which solves the problem of limited activity space of the manipulator 12. At the same time, during the movement of the slingshot 10, no human participation is required, and the whole process is automated, which can not only improve the product production efficiency but also ensure the product quality. At the same time, it can liberate a large amount of labor, so that people can spend their energy on more appropriate work, thereby reducing production costs.

[0063] In this embodiment, due to the use of the adapter 74, the slingshot 10 is placed in the mold core 8 of the preparation station 3 through the adapter 74, and then the slingshot 10 is indirectly placed in a specific position in the plastic box through the mold core 8, rather than directly placed in the mold core 8 by clamping, for the following reasons:

[0064] First, when the slingshot 10 is clamped, the slingshot 10 has different postures, and the slingshot 10 placed in the mold core 8 requires a specific posture / posture conversion;

[0065] Second, even if the slingshot 10 can be directly clamped and placed into the mold core 8, the manipulator 12 cannot enter the narrow space area;

[0066] Third, the use of the adapter 74 can improve the utilization efficiency of the robot 12 and the visual device.

[0067] See also Fig.11In one embodiment of the present invention, the transfer seat 74 includes a seat body 741, the seat body 741 has a first surface 7410 and a second surface that are arranged opposite to each other, and at least one guide groove 7411 is arranged on the seat body 741, the guide groove 7411 is a groove structure, the guide groove 7411 is a magnetic conductive material that can adsorb magnetic target parts, and the opposite ends of the guide groove 7411 respectively penetrate the first surface 7410 and the second surface. In this embodiment, the guide groove 7411 is used to hold materials. For example, the materials can be put into the guide groove 7411 from one end of the guide groove 7411 close to the first surface 7410, and can be moved out of the guide groove 7411 from one end of the guide groove 7411 close to the second surface. The guide groove 7411 mainly plays the role of temporarily storing materials, so as to facilitate the transfer of materials from one station to another.

[0068] In this embodiment, at least one guide groove 7411 is provided on the seat body 741. The guide groove 7411 is a groove structure. The opposite ends of the guide groove 7411 respectively penetrate the first surface 7410 and the second surface, and the guide groove 7411 is used to hold materials. When materials need to be assembled, the materials can be automatically transferred from one workstation to another through the transfer seat 74, which provides the necessary conditions for realizing automatic assembly. In the process of material transfer, no human participation is required, and the whole process is automated, which can not only improve product production efficiency but also ensure product quality. At the same time, it can liberate a large amount of labor, allowing people to spend their energy on more appropriate work, thereby reducing production costs.

[0069] In a specific application, the seat body 741 may be in a rectangular shape, and the guide groove 7411 penetrates the first surface 7410 and the second surface of the seat body 741 along the height direction of the seat body 741 .

[0070] In one embodiment of the present invention, an insertion hole 7412 is provided on one side of the guide groove 7411 in the seat body 741, and the insertion hole 7412 is spaced apart from the guide groove 7411, and a magnetic part for magnetically attracting the target part is placed in the insertion hole 7412. In this embodiment, with the help of the magnetic part, the material part can be adsorbed and stabilized in the guide groove 7411. In addition, by using the method of using the magnetic part to adsorb the material, the target part can be transported without damaging the material, that is, the material will not be deformed during the transportation process. It is understandable that in this embodiment, the material is made of a material that can be magnetically attracted by the magnetic part. It is understandable that in other embodiments, the guide groove 7411 can also use other methods to hold the material, such as setting an insertion hole suitable for accommodating the magnetic part on the bottom surface of the guide groove 7411.

[0071] In one embodiment of the present invention, two guide grooves 7411 are provided on the seat body 741, and the two guide grooves 7411 are parallel to each other. In this embodiment, the adapter seat 74 provided with two guide grooves 7411 is suitable for occasions where two materials need to be assembled at the same time to improve assembly efficiency. It is understood that in other embodiments, the number of guide grooves 7411 can be other values ​​determined according to actual conditions. In a specific application, the guide groove 7411 is Y-shaped to match the shape of the slingshot.
