Therefore, a fully automatic silicone rod assembly machine is proposed. Summary of the Invention

The discharge push cylinder is located at the bottom of the product assembly seat, and the product assembly seat and the top inlet of the discharge trough are on the same horizontal plane.

[0007] Preferably, a plurality of positioning frames are fixedly connected to the top of the workstation support platform, and a first vision detector is fixedly connected to the lower side of the positioning frame.

[0018] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the present invention provides a fully automatic silicone rod assembly machine, including a production workbench 1, and further comprising: Conveying assembly 2, which is installed at the top center of production workbench 1, is used to convey materials; Silicone column assembly assembly 4 is installed on top of production workbench 1 and is used to assemble silicone rods in steps. The clamping assembly 5 is mounted on top of the conveying assembly 2 and is used to clamp and fix the silicone rod. Among them, the conveying component 2 includes a workstation support platform 21 installed at the top center of the production workbench 1, a workstation conveying plate 22 is provided on the lower side of the workstation support platform 21, and multiple product assembly seats 23 are fixedly connected to the edge of the workstation conveying plate 22 at equal intervals. The silicone column assembly 4 includes a first assembly mechanism 41 and two sets of second assembly mechanisms 42, which are arranged in a ring on the outside of the workstation support platform 21.

[0020] The above solution involves sequentially installing the column, bushing, and gear onto the top of the product assembly base 23 via the first assembly mechanism 41 and two sets of second assembly mechanisms 42, thereby completing the assembly of the silicone rod. This ensures that each assembly process is carried out simultaneously, reducing the time consumed in assembly.

[0021] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the workstation support platform 21 is provided with a discharge push cylinder 7 and a discharge trough 8 fixedly connected to the production workbench 1 on the side away from the first assembly mechanism 41 and the second assembly mechanism 42. The discharge push cylinder 7 is located at the bottom of the product assembly base 23, and the product assembly base 23 and the top inlet of the discharge trough 8 are on the same horizontal plane.

[0022] The above solution is adopted: two sets of discharge push cylinders 7 and discharge troughs 8 are set on the top of the production workbench 1. These are used to remove the bushings facing different silicone rods respectively to avoid mixing. The discharge troughs 8 facilitate the discharge of finished products.

[0023] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, multiple positioning frames 24 are fixedly connected to the top of the workstation support platform 21, and a first vision detector 25 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the positioning frame 24. The first vision detector 25 is located between the first assembly mechanism 41 and two sets of second assembly mechanisms 42.

[0024] The above solution is adopted: by setting a first visual detector 25 between the first assembly mechanism 41 and the second assembly mechanism 42, and located at the discharge end of the first assembly mechanism 41 and the second assembly mechanism 42 along the conveying direction of the station conveyor 22, a visual inspection is performed on the product assembled in each process to avoid the situation where assembly errors occur and the assembly is continued in subsequent processes.

[0025] like Figures 3 to 7 As shown, the first assembly mechanism 41 is used to install the column onto the product assembly base 23, and the two sets of second assembly mechanisms 42 are used to install the bushing and gear sleeve device onto the column, respectively. The first assembly mechanism 41 and the two sets of second assembly mechanisms 42 are distributed sequentially along the rotation direction of the station conveyor plate 22.

[0026] Using the above scheme: the workstation conveyor 22 drives the product assembly base 23 to move to the first assembly mechanism 41, then moves sequentially to the second assembly mechanism 42 for bushing installation, and finally moves to the second assembly mechanism 42 for gear installation. In this way, the various parts of the silicone rod are assembled sequentially.

[0027] like Figures 3 to 7 As shown, the first assembly mechanism 41 includes a first support frame 411 fixedly connected to the production workbench 1. A first adjustment guide rail 412 is installed on one side of the first support frame 411. A first mounting claw 413 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the first adjustment guide rail 412. The first adjustment guide rail 412 drives the first mounting claw 413 to move horizontally along the horizontal axis and the vertical axis. The first mounting gripper 413 is provided with a first conveying mechanism 414 fixedly connected to the production workbench 1 on its lower side. The first mounting gripper 413 is also provided with a column correction gripper 415 fixedly connected to the production workbench 1 at its bottom. The column correction gripper 415 is located between the product assembly base 23 and the first conveying mechanism 414.

[0028] The above solution is adopted: by setting up a first assembly mechanism 41, the first mounting jaw 413 clamps the column to move the column to the top of the product assembly base 23 for installation. The bottom of the first mounting jaw 413 is provided with two sets of jaws, so that the column can be clamped and removed from the second conveying mechanism 424 by one set of jaws, and then moved to the column correction jaw 415 for correction and positioning. Then, the positioned column is moved to the top of the product assembly base 23 for installation by the other set of jaws, thereby realizing a streamlined operation and saving time for correction.

[0029] like Figures 3 to 7 As shown, the second assembly mechanism 42 includes a second support frame 421 fixedly connected to the production workbench 1. A second adjustment guide rail 422 is fixedly connected to the side of the second support frame 421. A second mounting gripper 423 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second adjustment guide rail 422. A second conveying mechanism 424 fixedly connected to the production workbench 1 is provided on the lower side of the second mounting gripper 423. Second vision detectors 6 are installed on both sides of the second mounting gripper 423.

[0030] The above solution involves setting up a second assembly mechanism 42, which allows the second mounting jaw 423 to sequentially install the bushing and gear onto the column at the top of the product assembly base 23, thereby completing the assembly of the silicone rod. At the same time, the second vision detectors 6 installed on both sides of the second mounting jaw 423 are used to visually inspect the bushing and gear to check whether the bushing is facing correctly and to check whether the gear is damaged, so as to ensure the quality of the finished product after assembly.

[0031] like Figure 6 As shown, the clamping assembly 5 includes a fixed bracket 51 fixedly connected to the top of the workstation support platform 21, a clamping cylinder 52 fixedly connected to the side of the fixed bracket 51, and a lower pressure block 53 fixedly connected to the output end of the clamping cylinder 52. The fixed bracket 51 is located in the middle of the discharge push cylinder 7 and the second assembly mechanism 42. The lower pressure block 53 has the same specifications as the product assembly seat 23, and the product assembly seat 23 is perpendicular to the lower pressure block 53 when it passes the lower pressure block 53.

[0032] The above solution is adopted: by setting up the clamping component 5, the clamping cylinder 52 pushes the lower pressure block 53 to move down, so as to squeeze and fix the assembled silicone rod, thereby completing the assembly of the silicone rod.

[0033] like Figures 2 to 7 As shown, a control display screen 3 is installed on the top of the production workbench 1 near the fixed bracket 51. The control display screen 3 is used to receive signals from the first vision detector 25 and the second vision detector 6.

[0034] The above solution is adopted: by setting up a control display screen 3, it is used to receive visual detection information transmitted by multiple first visual detectors 25 and second visual detectors 6, so as to confirm the integrity of each component during the assembly process, and at the same time avoid the loss of components during the assembly process.

[0035] Working principle and usage process of this invention: During the production process, the column is first conveyed to the first mounting jaw 413 via the first conveying mechanism 414. Then, the column is clamped by the first mounting jaw 413 and driven by the first adjusting guide rail 412 to move the column to the column correction jaw 415. The column correction jaw 415 clamps the column to correct and position it. At the same time, the first adjusting guide rail 412 pulls the first mounting jaw 413 to reset and clamp the column again. Simultaneously, the other jaw of the first mounting jaw 413 will clamp the column that has been corrected at the column correction jaw 415. When the first adjusting guide rail 412 moves the column to the column correction jaw 415 again, the other jaw of the first mounting jaw 413 will move the column to the top of the product assembly base 23 and install the column downwards onto the top of the product assembly base 23, thus completing the installation of the column. After the column is installed, the station conveyor 22 will rotate to move the product assembly base 23 to the next station. During the movement of the product assembly base 23, the product assembly base 23 will pass by the first vision detector 25. At this time, the first vision detector 25 will perform visual inspection on the column on the product assembly base 23 and transmit the inspection image to the control display screen 3 for processing. If the column is not installed correctly or is missing, the product group will not continue to be assembled in the subsequent process. When the product assembly base 23, which has completed the inspection, moves with the column to the second assembly mechanism 42 for assembling the bushing, the corresponding bushing is conveyed to the bottom of the second mounting jaw 423 by the second conveying mechanism 424. The bushing is then gripped by the second mounting jaw 423. After the bushing is gripped by the second mounting jaw 423, the second vision detectors 6 set on both sides of the second mounting jaw 423 will simultaneously perform visual inspection on the bushing inside the second mounting jaw 423 to confirm that the bushing is facing correctly. Then, the second mounting jaw 423 is driven to move to the top of the product assembly base 23 by the second adjusting guide rail 422 to install the bushing onto the column. After that, the gear and bushing are installed in the same manner. After assembly, the product assembly base 23 will move with the assembled silicone rod to the lower side of the pressure block 53. At this time, the pressure cylinder 52 will push the pressure block 53 downward, so that the pressure block 53 will squeeze the silicone rod to fix it. Then, the product assembly base 23 will move with the silicone rod to the top of the discharge push cylinder 7. The discharge push cylinder 7 will push the finished product out of the product assembly base 23 and send it into the discharge slot 8 for delivery. For products with missing parts at the top of the product assembly base 23, the next step will be carried out to complete the installation by replacing the missing parts.
