[0041] The lower cover feeding mechanism is provided with a hopper and a lifting drive component. The lifting drive component is used to drive the hopper to perform lifting movements, so that the upper material in the hopper is maintained at a set height. The material taking drive component drives the material taking component to enter the hopper to take the material. Through the cooperation of the feeding mechanism and the material taking mechanism, automatic feeding is realized. Moreover, because the hopper is driven by the lifting drive component, the uppermost material can always be maintained at a set height. The material taking mechanism does not need complicated movements and can quickly take materials, thereby providing support for further improving the efficiency of badge assembly. In addition, in this scheme, multiple groups of feeding mechanisms are provided. When there is insufficient material in one of the feeding mechanisms, the feeding mechanism takes material from another feeding mechanism, and the staff replenishes the feeding mechanism with insufficient material to realize uninterrupted feeding.

[0042] The upper cover feeding and assembly mechanism realizes full automation of upper cover loading, centering adjustment and accessory assembly through the setting of upper cover conveyor line, loading station, upper cover transport mechanism, upper cover adjustment station, upper cover transfer mechanism and accessory loading mechanism, so as to improve the upper cover assembly efficiency, thereby further improving the overall assembly efficiency of the badge. In addition, since the upper cover and accessories are centered and adjusted during the assembly process, the assembly quality is higher and rework is avoided.

[0043] The upper and lower cover press-fitting module realizes the automatic assembly of the upper and lower covers by setting up the upper cover transfer mechanism, the lower cover transfer mechanism, the press-fitting mechanism, the detection mechanism, the unloading mechanism and the defective rejection mechanism. The press-fitting mechanism can simultaneously complete the pressing of the upper cover and the assembly of the upper and lower covers, which is more efficient and saves labor costs. It can also perform detection and reject defective products after assembly to ensure product quality. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0059] Combine the following Figure 1-Figure 13 The present invention is described in detail.

[0060] The automated badge assembly line of the present invention, such as Figure 1 , including a lower cover feeding mechanism 9, an upper cover feeding assembly mechanism 5 and an upper and lower cover pressing module 6.

[0061] The upper cover feeding assembly mechanism 5 includes an upper cover feeding mechanism, an upper cover transfer mechanism 53 and an accessory feeding mechanism;

[0062] The upper and lower cover pressing module 6 includes a lower cover transfer mechanism 62, a pressing mechanism 61 and a feeding mechanism 64. The upper cover transfer mechanism 53 and the lower cover transfer mechanism 62 both include a carrier 50 for receiving materials. The materials are fed by the lower cover feeding mechanism 9 and the upper cover feeding mechanism. The upper cover transfer mechanism 53 and the lower cover transfer mechanism 62 are used to switch the carrier 50 between different process stations.

[0063] Several groups of accessory loading mechanisms are provided, and the upper cover transfer mechanism 53 transfers the carrier 50 to the accessory loading mechanism to realize accessory loading and assembly;

[0064] The press-fitting mechanism 61 includes a rotating body 611, a press-fitting drive assembly 613 and a press-fitting mold 612. The press-fitting mold 612 is connected to the rotating body 611 and the press-fitting drive assembly 613. The press-fitting mechanism 61 is used to transfer the materials to be assembled in the upper cover transfer mechanism 53 and the lower cover transfer mechanism 62 to the same carrier for press-fitting. The unloading mechanism 64 is used to output the assembled products. The detection mechanism 63 is used to detect the assembled products.

[0065] Lower cover feeding mechanism 9, such as Figure 2-Figure 4 , including a feeding mechanism 1, a taking mechanism 2 and a lower cover feeding conveyor line 3. The taking mechanism 2 takes out the material from the feeding mechanism 1 and then uses the lower cover feeding conveyor line 3 to convey the material to the next station.

[0066] like Figure 3 The feeding mechanism 1 includes a silo 15, a lifting drive assembly 13, a platform 11 and a silo lever 12. The lifting drive assembly 13 can adopt a telescopic structure such as a cylinder or an electric cylinder. The silo 15 and the silo lever 12 are both arranged on the platform 11. The platform 11 is connected to the guide rail 14. The lifting drive assembly 13 is connected to the platform 11. Several silos 15 are arranged in the feeding mechanism 1. In this embodiment, four silos 15 are arranged in one group of feeding mechanisms 1. The silos 15 are used for stacking the lower cover 4 with the opening facing upward. At least two groups of silo levers 12 are correspondingly arranged at each silo 15. The silo levers 12 limit the stacked materials to ensure the stability of the materials in the silo 15. The material taking assembly 23 takes materials synchronously in several silos 15 to realize rapid feeding. The lifting drive assembly 13 is used to drive the silo 15 to perform lifting actions so that the upper material in the silo 15 is kept at a set height. Its height parameter can be determined by setting a sensor or by the action parameters of the lifting drive assembly 13.

[0067] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 The material picking mechanism 2 includes a material picking component 23, a material picking drive component 22 and a displacement drive component 21.

[0068] Two or more groups of feeding mechanisms 1 are arranged, and the groups of feeding mechanisms 1 are arranged along the same straight line. The displacement drive component 21 is a linear drive component. The displacement drive component 21 is used to switch the position of the material taking component 23 and the material taking drive component 22 between different feeding mechanisms 1. Therefore, when there is insufficient material in one of the feeding mechanisms 1, the material taking mechanism 2 takes material from another feeding mechanism 1, and the staff replenishes the feeding mechanism 1 with insufficient material to achieve uninterrupted feeding.

[0069] The material picking drive component 22 is used to drive the material picking component 23 to enter the silo 15 to pick up materials. Through the cooperation of the loading mechanism 1 and the material picking mechanism 2, automatic loading is realized. Moreover, since the silo 15 is driven by the lifting drive component 13, the top layer of materials can always be kept at a set height, and the material picking mechanism 2 does not need complicated movements and can achieve rapid material picking.

[0070] Specifically, the material picking drive assembly 22 includes a horizontal displacement drive 222 and a vertical displacement drive 221. The horizontal displacement drive 222 enables the material picking assembly 23 to enter the silo, and the vertical displacement drive 221 enables the material picking assembly 23 to descend and contact the material. The material picking assembly 23 includes a material picking bracket 231 and an electromagnet 233. The electromagnet 233 uses magnetic force to absorb the metal lower cover. A waist hole is provided on the material picking bracket 231. The electromagnet 233 can be adjusted in position at the waist hole, which is convenient for installation and debugging and can adapt to materials of different sizes or types.

[0071] Upper cover feeding assembly mechanism 5, such as Figure 5-Figure 8 , including an upper cover feeding mechanism, an upper cover conveying mechanism 54, an upper cover adjusting station 57, an upper cover transferring mechanism 53 and an accessory feeding mechanism.

[0072] The upper cover feeding mechanism includes a vibration plate material distribution mechanism 51 , an upper cover conveying line 52 , and a material loading station 521 .

[0073] The vibrating plate distributing mechanism 51 vibrates the chaotic upper covers into a uniform posture and outputs them one by one.

[0074] The loading station 521 is connected to the upper cover conveying line 52. The loading station 521 is arranged at the end of the upper cover conveying line 52 to play the role of end interception.

[0075] The upper cover conveying mechanism 54 is a PPU conveying mechanism, and the upper cover adjustment station 57 is used to perform centering adjustment on the upper cover. For example, the upper cover can be placed on an adjustment table, and a number of clamps around the adjustment table can be used to clamp the upper cover to achieve centering. The positioning centering can also be achieved by providing a groove body that matches the shape of the upper cover. The position of the upper cover can also be adjusted to make it centered by providing a suction cup or other mechanism. The same applies to the accessory centering station 564.

[0076] The loading station 534, the upper cover conveying mechanism 54 and the upper cover adjusting station 57 constitute a conveying and positioning mechanism.

[0077] The upper cover transfer mechanism 53 is provided with a carrier for receiving the upper cover, and the carrier has a groove matching the shape of the upper cover, such as Figure 6 In this embodiment, the upper cover transfer mechanism 53 includes a turntable body 531, and a loading station 521 and a plurality of accessory loading mechanisms are arranged around the upper cover transfer mechanism 53, so that the equipment is more integrated and the equipment volume is reduced. Four groups of carriers 50 are arranged on the upper cover transfer mechanism 53, which correspond to the initial station 532, the lining paper loading station 533, the outer paper loading station 534 and the transfer station 535 respectively.

[0078] There are two sets of accessory feeding mechanisms, namely, an inner liner paper feeding mechanism 56 and an outer paper feeding mechanism 55 .

[0079] like Figure 8 The accessory feeding mechanism includes an accessory bin 562, an accessory transport mechanism 561 and an accessory posture adjustment station. The accessory posture adjustment station includes an accessory centering station 564 and an accessory angle adjustment station 563, which are respectively used to perform centering adjustment and angle adjustment on the accessories. The angle adjustment can be performed by placing accessories such as liner paper or outer paper on a turntable or a rotatable suction cup structure, and adjusting the angle by rotation. The visual recognition system can identify the angle and perform angle rotation control, or it can be a fixed angle rotation adjustment. The accessory bin 562 to the accessory feeding mechanism in each accessory feeding mechanism are connected to the accessory centering station 564 and the accessory angle adjustment station 563, respectively. At least two groups are set. When one group of the accessory bins 562 is out of material, material is taken from another accessory bin 562 to achieve uninterrupted feeding. The accessory bin 562 can be set to be movable, and the accessory transport mechanism 561 can also be set to be translatable, which is convenient for switching the accessory bins 562. The accessory transport mechanism 561 takes out the accessories from the accessory bin 562 and places them in turn on the centering station 564 and the accessory angle adjustment station 563 for posture adjustment. The adjusted accessories are placed on the upper cover by the accessory transport mechanism 561 to complete the assembly.

[0080] The upper cover conveying mechanism 54 conveys the upper cover at the loading station 521 to the upper cover adjustment station 57, and conveys the upper cover that has been adjusted and aligned at the upper cover adjustment station 57 to the initial station 532. The upper cover transfer mechanism 53 rotates to make the upper cover reach the inner lining paper loading station 533. The inner lining paper loading mechanism 56 places the inner lining paper on the upper cover. The upper cover transfer mechanism 53 rotates again, and the upper cover reaches the outer paper loading station 534. The outer paper loading mechanism 55 places the outer paper on the upper cover. The upper cover transfer mechanism 53 rotates again, and the upper cover reaches the transfer station 535, waiting to be grasped and assembled with the lower cover.

[0081] The lower cover feeding mechanism 9 is also provided with a transport and positioning mechanism consisting of a loading station, a lower cover transport mechanism and a lower cover adjustment station, wherein the lower cover adjustment station may include angle adjustment and / or centering adjustment.

[0082] The upper and lower covers are pressed into the module 6, such as Figure 9-13 , including a lower cover transfer mechanism 62, a pressing mechanism 61, a detection mechanism 63, a material discharge mechanism 64 and a defective rejection mechanism 65.

[0083] The upper cover transfer mechanism 53 and the lower cover transfer mechanism 62 both include turntable bodies, namely, the upper cover turntable body 531 and the lower cover turntable body 652. Several groups of carriers are arranged on the turntable bodies. The rotation of the turntable bodies enables the carriers to switch between different process stations, realizing multi-station synchronous work and improving assembly efficiency.

[0084] like Fig. 9 A plurality of carriers 50 are arranged on the upper cover transfer mechanism 53, and the carriers are used to carry the upper cover. Each carrier corresponds to a process station, namely, the upper cover initial station 532, the lining paper loading station 533, the outer paper loading station 534 and the transfer station 535. Corresponding mechanisms are arranged at each station to complete the corresponding process.

[0085] A plurality of carriers 50 are arranged on the lower cover transfer mechanism 62 , and the carriers are used to carry the lower cover, and each carrier corresponds to a process station, namely the lower cover initial station 623 , the pressing station 624 , the inspection station 622 and the unloading station 622 .

[0086] The carrier structures in the lower cover transfer mechanism 62 and the upper cover transfer mechanism 53 should be designed accordingly according to the functions and the structures of the lower cover and the upper cover.

[0087] The press-fitting mechanism 61 is arranged between the upper cover transfer mechanism 53 and the lower cover transfer mechanism 62. The rotating body 611 rotates 180 degrees to transfer the upper cover in the transfer station 535 to the press-fitting station 624 for press-fitting.

[0088] like Fig.11 The pressing mechanism 61 includes a rotating body 611, a pressing drive assembly 613 and a pressing mold 612. The rotating body 611 is installed on the rotating shaft and is connected to the rotating drive motor 613. The pressing drive assembly 613 and the pressing mold 612 are each provided with two groups and are symmetrically installed on the rotating body 611. The two pressing molds 612 can synchronously complete the pressing of the upper cover and the pressing of the upper cover and the lower cover.

[0089] The upper cover, inner lining paper and outer paper are at the transfer station 535, and the pressing mold 612 is pressed down for pressing. After pressing, the combination of the upper cover, inner lining paper and outer paper is grabbed, and the rotating body 611 rotates to transfer the upper cover to the pressing station 624 for pressing, so that the upper cover, inner lining paper, outer paper and lower cover are combined and formed. The upper cover, inner lining paper and outer paper are secondary molded and folded into the gap between the upper and lower covers to form a complete product. The combined upper cover and lower cover are transferred to the inspection station 622, and the inspection station 622 is provided with an inspection mechanism 63. The inspection mechanism 63 is used to inspect the upper cover of the material after pressing. In this embodiment, the inspection mechanism 63 adopts a visual inspection module, which includes a camera and a light source. The badge after inspection is transferred to the unloading station 622, and the inspection mechanism 63 includes an upper cover appearance inspection module 631 and a lower cover appearance inspection module 632. The lower cover appearance inspection module 632 is arranged at the unloading conveyor belt 643.

[0090] The unloading mechanism 64 is arranged at the unloading station 622, and the unloading mechanism 64 is used to take out the tested material from the carrier. Fig.13 The unloading mechanism 64 includes a flipping assembly 641, an unloading conveyor belt 643, a receiving platform 642 and an unloading and picking assembly 644. Since the badge after pressing is in the carrier with the upper cover facing upward and there is a pin on the lower cover, the conveying process is not smooth. Therefore, the badge is flipped by the flipping assembly 641 to have the lower cover facing upward, so that the upper cover contacts the conveyor belt, and the appearance of the lower cover of the flipped product is inspected. The flipping assembly 641 is used to flip the material in the carrier. Its structure generally includes a motor and a flipping arm. An electromagnet or a suction cup is provided at the end of the flipping arm. After grabbing the badge, the motor drives the flipping arm to rotate 180° to place the badge on the receiving platform 642. The receiving platform 642 is used to receive the material after the flipping assembly 641 flips over. The unloading and picking assembly 644 is used to take out the material on the receiving platform 642 and place it on the unloading conveyor belt 643. The unloading and picking assembly 644 generally includes a displacement drive and an electromagnet. The displacement drive causes the electromagnet to move and contact the badge and transfer it to the unloading conveyor belt 643.

[0091] The unloading conveyor belt 643 is used to convey the turned materials, and the defective rejection mechanism 65 rejects the unqualified materials according to the detection results of the detection mechanism. The defective rejection mechanism 65 is arranged at the unloading conveyor belt 643, and can be pneumatically blown away or grasped and rejected by a grasping mechanism.
