Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of inner frame assembly, in particular to an English-type inner frame assembly machine. Background Art

[0002] During the production of plug inner frames, existing assembly equipment typically has a low degree of automation, resulting in low assembly efficiency and poor stability. Traditional plug inner frame assembly often relies on manual operation or semi-automated equipment, requiring operators to manually align, assemble, and secure the various plug components. This method is not only labor-intensive and inefficient, but also prone to poor assembly precision due to human factors, which in turn affects product quality.

[0003] While current assembly equipment can perform some basic plug housing assembly tasks, it still suffers from insufficient automation when faced with high-volume production and complex product structures. For example, the plug housing's components are diverse and complex in shape, and the assembly process requires precise docking and positioning. Traditional equipment often struggles to achieve the required precision every time. This results in poor product consistency, potentially leading to poor assembly and high failure rates, further impacting production efficiency and product quality.

[0004] Furthermore, existing assembly equipment operates at a slow speed and requires extensive manual intervention during the production process. This not only limits production capacity but also increases production costs. As market demand for efficient and high-quality production increases, traditional assembly technology struggles to meet the requirements of large-scale, high-precision production.

[0005] Therefore, based on the above technical problems, it is necessary for those skilled in the art to develop a British-style inner frame assembly machine. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The object of the present invention is to provide an English-type inner frame assembly machine to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0007] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0032] The features and exemplary embodiments of various aspects of the present invention will be described in detail below. In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. For those skilled in the art, the present invention can be implemented without some of these specific details. The following description of the embodiments is merely intended to provide a better understanding of the present invention by illustrating examples of the present invention.

[0033] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the present invention provides a technical solution for an English-style internal frame assembly machine. The machine comprises a platform 1, which is the main supporting structure of the assembly machine and is provided with a control panel 11 for the operator to monitor and control the operation of the assembly machine. The surface of the platform 1 is designed with multiple mounting holes for securing other components.

[0034] The vibrating plate feeding system includes multiple vibrating plates, specifically the universal head body vibrating plate 21, the spring clip clockwise vibrating plate 1 22, the spring clip counterclockwise vibrating plate 1 23, the spring clip clockwise vibrating plate 2 24, the spring clip counterclockwise vibrating plate 2 25, and the upper cover vibrating plate 26. These vibrating plates are interconnected by a vibrating plate feeding channel 27, ensuring that parts can be smoothly transferred from one vibrating plate to another and finally delivered to the turntable mechanism.

[0035] The turntable mechanism 3 is mounted on the machine platform and comprises a turntable 31 and multiple workpiece holders 32 distributed circumferentially around the turntable. The turntable 31 is rotatable, and the workpiece holders 32 support the various components of the plug's internal frame. Preferably, 8-12 workpiece holders 32 are evenly distributed around the turntable to facilitate simultaneous assembly of multiple components.

[0036] The vibrating platen pick-up mechanism 4 is located adjacent to the vibrating platen feed channel 27 and mounted on the machine platform. This mechanism comprises a traverse cylinder 41, a traverse base 42, a lift cylinder 43, a clamp cylinder 44, and a clamp 45 driven by the clamp cylinder. The traverse cylinder 41 is driven parallel to the radial direction of the turntable 31, while the lift cylinder 43 is driven perpendicular to the machine platform. The clamp 45 is used to precisely grasp parts and place them on the workpiece base 32.

[0037] The workpiece detector 5 and the workpiece shaper 6 are arranged along the circumference of the turntable 31 to detect the position and correct the shape of the semi-finished product on the workpiece seat 32. The probe detector 7 is set in front of the riveting mechanism 8 to detect the conductivity between the spring and the universal head body.

[0038] The riveting mechanism 8 comprises a stand 81 and a riveting press 82 mounted on the stand. The stand 81 is fixed to the edge of the machine platform, and the punch of the riveting press 82 is vertically aligned with the workpiece seat 32 on the turntable to achieve accurate riveting operation.

[0039] The finished product unloading mechanism 9 includes an unloading traverse cylinder 91, an unloading traverse base 92, an unloading jaw cylinder 93, and an unloading jaw 94 driven by the unloading jaw cylinder. The unloading jaw 94's motion path covers the unloading position of the turntable 31 to the outside of the machine, and is used to automatically unload the assembled plug inner frame from the turntable and transport it to the outside of the machine.

[0040] During assembly, the vibrating plate feeding system automatically and orderly delivers components to the turntable mechanism. The multiple workpiece holders 32 on the turntable mechanism enable simultaneous assembly of multiple plug inner frames. The vibrating plate retrieving mechanism 4, through the precise coordination of the traverse cylinder 41, lift cylinder 43, and clamp cylinder 44, accurately removes components from the vibrating plate and places them on the workpiece holders 32, ensuring assembly precision and stability.

[0041] During assembly, the workpiece detector 5 and workpiece shaper 6 detect the position and correct the shape of the semi-finished product, preventing assembly defects caused by component misalignment or inaccurate shapes, thereby improving product quality. The probe detector 7 checks the conductivity between the spring and the universal plug body before riveting, ensuring good electrical performance of the assembled plug frame.

[0042] The riveting mechanism 8 securely fastens the components together through precise riveting operations, forming a complete plug inner frame. The finished product unloading mechanism 9 automatically removes the assembled plug inner frame from the turntable and transports it to the outside of the machine for subsequent collection and processing.

[0043] Through the above-mentioned implementation, the British-style inner frame assembly machine of the present invention can realize high-efficiency and high-precision automated assembly, greatly reducing the steps of manual operation, improving production efficiency and product quality, and meeting the market demand for efficient and high-quality production.

[0044] The working principle and usage process of the present invention are as follows: the vibrating plate feeding system automatically starts, and the universal head main body vibrating plate 21, the spring plate clockwise and counterclockwise vibrating plates, and the upper cover vibrating plate 26 begin to vibrate, and the respective parts are transported in an orderly manner to the vibrating plate feeding channel 27. These parts are smoothly transported through the feeding channel and finally reach the turntable mechanism.

[0045] The turntable 31 starts to rotate, and the multiple workpiece seats 32 evenly distributed on it rotate with the turntable 31. When a workpiece seat 32 rotates to the picking position of the vibration plate picking mechanism 4, the vibration plate picking mechanism 4 starts. The transverse cylinder 41 drives the transverse seat 42 to drive the lifting cylinder 43 and the clamp cylinder 44 to move to the corresponding vibration plate outlet, the lifting cylinder 43 descends, and the clamp cylinder 44 drives the clamp 45 to accurately grab the parts, then the lifting cylinder 43 rises, and the transverse cylinder 41 moves the clamp 45 and the parts to the top of the workpiece seat 32 on the turntable 31. The lifting cylinder 43 descends again, and the clamp 45 releases the parts, completing the picking and placement operations.

[0046] As the turntable 31 rotates, the semi-finished product on the workpiece holder 32 passes through the workpiece detector 5 and the workpiece shaper 6 in sequence. The workpiece detector 5 detects the position of the semi-finished product to ensure that the parts are correctly placed; the workpiece shaper 6 corrects the shape of the semi-finished product to avoid poor assembly caused by inaccurate shape.

[0047] When the workpiece base 32 rotates to the probe detector station, the probe detector 7 detects the conductivity between the spring and the universal plug body to ensure that the assembled plug inner frame has good electrical performance.

[0048] After passing the inspection, the workpiece seat 32 continues to rotate to the riveting mechanism 8. Under the support of the stand 81, the punch of the riveting mechanism 8 is vertically aligned with the parts on the workpiece seat 32, and performs precise riveting operations to firmly fix the parts together to form a complete plug inner frame.

[0049] When the workpiece base 32 rotates to the finished product unloading mechanism position, the finished product unloading mechanism 9 is activated. The unloading traverse cylinder 91 drives the unloading traverse seat 92 to drive the unloading claw cylinder 93 to move above the workpiece base 32. The unloading claw cylinder 93 drives the unloading claw 94 to clamp the assembled plug inner frame. Then, the unloading traverse cylinder 91 moves the unloading claw 94 and the plug inner frame to the outside of the machine table 1. The unloading claw 94 releases the plug inner frame, completing the unloading operation.

[0050] Through the above-mentioned working process, the English-style inner frame assembly machine of the present invention realizes high-efficiency and high-precision automated assembly, greatly improving production efficiency and product quality.
