[0090] The third clamping jaw 1213 is spaced apart from the second clamping jaw 1212 along the length of the bimetal 101, and the fourth clamping jaw 1214 is spaced apart from the first clamping jaw 1211 along the length of the bimetal 101. The third clamping jaw 1213 and the fourth clamping jaw 1214 clamp the second end of the bimetal 101. The first clamping jaw 1211 and the second clamping jaw 1212 are driven to open and close by a clamping jaw driving member 126, and the third clamping jaw 1213 and the fourth clamping jaw 1214 are also driven to open and close by a clamping jaw driving member 126.

[0091] In some embodiments, as Figure 6As shown, the thermal element clamping mechanism 12 further includes a conductive rod pressing assembly 124, which includes a pressing block 1241 and a pressing groove 1242 provided on the clamping jaw assembly 121. Optionally, the pressing block 1241 can be provided on the third clamping jaw 1213, and the pressing groove 1242 can be provided on the fourth clamping jaw 1214. When the clamping portion 121a of the clamping jaw assembly 121 clamps the first side and the second side of the bimetal 101, the pressing block 1241 is inserted into the pressing groove 1242, and the pressing block 1241 is used to press the portion of the conductive rod 103 protruding from the edge of the bimetal 101 downward in the first direction. When the thermal element transplanting device 1 installs the thermal element 100 in the bottom shell 200, the cooperation between the pressing block 1241 and the pressing groove 1242 realizes the limitation of the conductive rod 103, so that the first end of the bracket 102 is placed in the first positioning groove 1221, and the conductive rod 103 is placed in the second positioning groove 1232, so that the clamping claw assembly 121 can accurately clamp the thermal element 100.

[0092] The thermal element clamping mechanism 12 also includes a bracket pressing member 125, one end of which is connected to the clamping jaw assembly 121. Specifically, one end of the bracket pressing member 125 is connected to the clamping jaw driving member 126 of the clamping jaw assembly 121. When the clamping portion 121a of the clamping jaw assembly 121 clamps the first and second sides of the bimetal 101, the bracket pressing member 125 is used to press the second end of the bracket 102 downward in the first direction. When the thermal element transplanting device 1 installs the thermal element 100 in the bottom shell 200, the bracket pressing member 125 limits the position of the bracket 102, so that the first end of the bracket 102 is placed in the first positioning groove 1221 and the conductive rod 103 is placed in the second positioning groove 1232, so that the clamping jaw assembly 121 can accurately clamp the thermal element 100.

[0093] Continue to see Figure 2 and Figure 11 As shown, the assembly equipment of the thermal relay also includes a carrier conveyor line 4, on which a carrier 41 is provided, and the carrier 41 is used to carry the bottom shell 200. The carrier conveyor line 4 can be a linear conveyor line or a circular conveyor line. In order to save space, the carrier conveyor line 4 is preferably a circular conveyor line. The structure of the carrier conveyor line 4 is a prior art and will not be described in detail here. Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 11As shown, the heat element transfer device 1 and the heat element position detection device 2 are sequentially arranged on the side of the carrier conveyor line 4. When the carrier conveyor line 4 transports the carrier 41 to the position where the heat element transfer device 1 is located, the heat element transfer device 1 installs the heat element 100 on the bottom shell 200 of the carrier 41 placed at that position on the carrier conveyor line 4. The carrier conveyor line 4 then continues to transport the carrier 41 to the position where the heat element position detection device 2 is located. The heat element position detection device 2 is used to detect whether the heat element 100 in the bottom shell 200 is installed in place.

[0094] Combine Figure 2 、 Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the assembly equipment of the thermal relay also includes a thermal element loading device 6, which is arranged on one side of the carrier conveyor line 4. The thermal element loading device 6 is used to transport the thermal element carrier 400 carrying the thermal element 100 to the thermal element loading position. The thermal element transplanting drive mechanism 11 is used to drive the thermal element clamping mechanism 12 to clamp the thermal element on the thermal element carrier 400 at the thermal element loading position, and install the clamped thermal element 100 in the bottom shell 200 carried by the carrier 41 on the carrier conveyor line 4.

[0095] Continue to see Figure 3 As shown, the heat element transfer drive mechanism 11 includes a first heat element transfer drive member 111 and a second heat element transfer drive member 112. The first heat element transfer drive member 111 is used to drive the second heat element transfer drive member 112 to move along the second direction, that is, to move between the heat element loading device 6 and the carrier conveyor line 4, wherein the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. The second heat element transfer drive member 112 is used to drive the heat element clamping mechanism 12 to move along the first direction. The first heat element transfer drive member 111 and the second heat element transfer drive member 112 cooperate to move the heat element clamping mechanism 12 along the second direction and lift and lower along the first direction to clamp the heat element 100 on the heat element loading device 6. Then, the first heat element transfer drive member 111 drives the heat element clamping mechanism 12 to move along the first direction, and the second heat element transfer drive member 112 drives the heat element clamping mechanism 12 to move along the second direction, so that the heat element 100 clamped by the heat element clamping mechanism 12 is installed in the bottom shell 200 of the carrier 41 on the carrier conveyor line 4. Optionally, the first thermal element transfer driving member 111 may be a cylinder, a linear motor or a screw nut structure, and the second thermal element transfer driving member 112 may be a cylinder, a linear motor or a linear moving structure, which is not specifically limited here.

[0096] The thermal element transfer device 1 further includes a first positioning assembly 13 and a second positioning assembly 14, which are disposed on opposite sides of the carrier 41 along the second direction. The first positioning assembly 13 is used to provide guidance for the installation of the thermal element 100, and the second positioning assembly 14 is used to position the bottom shell 200. Optionally, the first positioning assembly 13 includes a first positioning driver 131 and a first positioning plate 132. The first positioning driver 131 is used to drive the first positioning plate 132 to move along the second direction. When the thermal element transfer device 1 installs the thermal element 100 in the bottom shell 200, the first positioning driver 131 drives the first positioning plate 132 to extend and be positioned above the bottom shell 200 in the carrier 41, thereby guiding the installation of the thermal element 100. The first positioning driver 131 can be a cylinder, a linear motor, or a screw and nut structure. The second positioning assembly 14 includes a second positioning driver 141 and a second positioning plate 142. The second positioning driver 141 is used to drive the second positioning plate 142 to move in a second direction, so that the second positioning plate 142 abuts against one side of the bottom shell 200 in the carrier 41, thereby positioning the bottom shell 200 on the carrier 41 and ensuring that the thermal element 100 can be accurately installed in the bottom shell 200. The second positioning driver 141 can be a cylinder, a linear motor, or a screw and nut structure.

The hot element pressing driver 151 is arranged on the hot element transplanting support seat 113. The hot element pressing driver 151 is used to drive the hot element pressing member 152 to move along a first direction, so that the hot element pressing member 152 presses the hot element 100 installed in the bottom shell 200 by the hot element clamping mechanism 12 into the bottom shell 200, ensuring that the hot element 100 is firmly installed in the bottom shell 200. The hot element pressing driver 151 can be a linear motor, a cylinder or a linear motion structure.

The hot element carrier feed conveyor line 61 is used to convey the hot element carrier 400 loaded with the hot element 100 to the first end of the hot element carrier feed conveyor line 61. During the conveying process, the hot element detection mechanism detects whether the position of the hot element 100 carried on the hot element carrier 400 meets the requirements, for example, whether the conductive rod 103 is in place, whether the angle of the conductive rod 103 is within a set angle range, etc. If the hot element 100 on the hot element carrier 400 is unqualified, after the hot element carrier 400 is conveyed to the first end of the hot element carrier feed conveyor line 61, the hot element carrier transfer mechanism 64 pushes the hot element carrier 400 to the hot element carrier defective product flow channel 63, and the hot element carrier defective product flow channel 63 conveys the hot element carrier 400 to a designated location. If the heat element 100 on the heat element carrier 400 is qualified, then when the heat element carrier 400 is transported to the first end of the heat element carrier feed conveyor line 61, the heat element carrier transfer mechanism 64 pushes the heat element carrier 400 onto the heat element carrier discharge conveyor line 62. The heat element carrier discharge conveyor line 62 transports the heat element carrier 400 to the heat element upper material position, allowing the heat element transfer device 1 to clamp the heat element 100 placed on the heat element carrier 400 at the heat element upper material position. The structures of the heat element carrier feed conveyor line 61, the heat element carrier discharge conveyor line 62, and the heat element carrier defective product flow channel 63 are all existing technologies and are not specifically limited here.

Thermal element position detection device 2 also includes a guide plate pressing member 24 connected to position detection assembly 223. When position detection drive mechanism 21 drives position detection assembly 223 to move in a first direction, guide plate pressing member 24 is used to press guide plate 300 installed in bottom shell 200 in the first direction, thereby pressing guide plate 300 pre-installed in bottom shell 200 and ensuring that guide plate 300 is properly installed. While position detection member 2231 detects the position of component 2211 to be detected in the first direction, it also presses guide plate 300 pre-installed in bottom shell 200, thereby simplifying the structure and processing technology and improving production efficiency.

[0117] The bottom shell transplanting mechanism 52 is used to transport the qualified bottom shell 200 after inspection by the bottom shell residue detection mechanism 514 to the carrier 41 on the carrier conveyor line 4, or to transport the unqualified bottom shell 200 after inspection by the bottom shell residue detection mechanism 514 to the bottom shell defective product discharge conveyor line 512. The bottom shell defective product discharge conveyor line 512 is used to transport the unqualified bottom shell 200 to the designated position to ensure that the bottom shells 200 transported to the carrier conveyor line 4 are all qualified parts.

The second bottom shell transfer assembly 523 is used to transfer bottom shells 200 that have failed inspection by the bottom shell residue detection mechanism 514 to the bottom shell defective product discharge conveyor line 512, or to transfer bottom shells 200 at the bottom shell defective product discharge conveyor line 512. The first bottom shell transfer assembly 521, the bottom shell transfer assembly 522, and the second bottom shell transfer assembly 523 cooperate to achieve the sorting of qualified bottom shells 200 and unqualified bottom shells 200, thereby improving work efficiency.

The second bottom shell transplanting driving member 5212 drives the first bottom shell transplanting clamping member 5213, the second bottom shell transplanting clamping member 5214 and the third bottom shell transplanting clamping member 5215 to rise or fall along the first direction at the same time. The first bottom shell transfer driver 5211 drives the second bottom shell transfer driver 5212 to move, causing the third bottom shell transfer clamping member 5215 to clamp the bottom shell 200 on the bottom shell loading conveyor line 511 and transfer it to the marking position. At the same time, the second bottom shell transfer clamping member 5214 clamps the bottom shell 200 at the marking position and transfers it to the code scanning position. At the same time, the first bottom shell transfer clamping member 5213 clamps the bottom shell 200 that has passed the code scanning at the code scanning position and transfers it to the carrier 41 on the carrier conveyor line 4.

If the inspected product does not meet the requirements, the unqualified product is discharged. If the inspected product is qualified, the carrier conveyor line 4 conveys the carrier 41 to the second bottom shell flipping mechanism 74. The second bottom shell flipping mechanism 74 is used to flip the bottom shell 200 after the screw-in-place detection mechanism 73 is inspected, so that the bottom shell 200 in the second receiving cavity of the carrier 41 is placed in the first receiving cavity, with the front of the bottom shell 200 facing up.
