[0050] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0051] Mechanical switches and their assembly equipment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the assembly equipment includes a machine base 1 and a feeding device 11. The feeding device 11 is located at one end of the machine base 1. A vibrating feeding plate is fixed inside the feeding device 11 for feeding the housing 6 of the mechanical switch.

[0052] like Figures 2-11As shown, a guide frame 16 is fixedly provided on the machine base 1. A feeding frame 17 parallel to the guide frame 16 is provided at one end of the guide frame 16. One end of the feeding frame 17 extends out of the machine base 1 and is connected to the discharge end of the vibrating feeding plate. It is used to support the housing 6 and to convey and guide the material.

[0053] A transfer plate 18 is provided at the connection between the feeding rack 17 and the guide rack 16. The moving direction of the transfer plate 18 is perpendicular to the guide rack 16. A cylinder is fixedly installed on the machine base 1. The output end of the cylinder is fixedly connected to the transfer plate 18. Using the power output by the cylinder, the transfer plate 18 is moved on the machine base 1, moving the housing 6 fed from the feeding rack 17 to one end of the guide rack 16.

[0054] Several guide rail frames 13 are arranged on one side of the guide frame 16 on the machine base 1. The multiple guide rail frames 13 are arranged in parallel. A mounting plate is slidably provided on the guide rail frame 13. A second cylinder 15 is installed on at least one guide rail frame 13. The output end of the second cylinder 15 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate. A third cylinder 10 is fixedly provided on the mounting plate. The output direction of the third cylinder 10 is parallel to the guide frame 16. The output end of the third cylinder 10 is connected to the transfer claw frame 14 to control the transfer claw frame 14 to move horizontally along the guide frame 16. The second cylinder 15 controls the transfer claw frame 14 to move towards or away from the guide frame 16.

[0055] On the other side of the guide frame 16 and along the direction of the guide frame 16, there are feeding components 1 2, 2 3, 3 4 and 4 5 arranged in sequence. On one side of the feeding component 1 2, there is a feeding rack 20. The feeding component 1 2 includes a slide table 21 horizontally arranged above the guide frame 16. A slider 1 is slidably arranged on the slide table 21. A cylinder 4 22 is fixedly installed on the top of the slider 1. The output end of the cylinder 4 22 faces downward and its output end is fixedly connected to a suction nozzle 23 for picking up the nut 62 from the feeding rack 20 and moving horizontally under the drive of the slide table 21 and sending it into the housing 6 on the guide frame 16.

[0056] A cylinder 24 is fixedly installed on the back side of the slide table 21. The output end of the cylinder 24 faces downward and is fixedly connected to a mounting plate 25. A vertical rod 27 is installed below the mounting plate 25 and a sleeve 26 is installed on the outside of the rod 27.

[0057] A cylinder 6 7 is installed below the guide frame 16. The cylinder 6 7 is located below the feeding assembly 1 2, feeding assembly 2 3, feeding assembly 3 4 and feeding assembly 4 5. The output end of the cylinder 6 7 is fixedly connected to a pressure plate 71. Driven by the cylinder 6 7, the pressure plate 71 moves to fit against the side of the housing 6 on the guide frame 16, pressing the housing 6 firmly at that position, fixing the housing 6, and ensuring the accuracy of the nut 62 feeding.

[0058] The structure of the second feeding component 3 is similar to that of the first feeding component 2. The difference is that the second feeding component 3 uses a pneumatic gripper to replace the suction nozzle 23. Through the cooperation of the slide table and the cylinder, the pneumatic gripper is driven to move horizontally and vertically. The movement method is the same as that of the suction nozzle 23. The pneumatic gripper clamps the metal part 63 and presses it onto the housing 6.

[0059] A cylinder 31 is provided between the second feeding component 3 and the third feeding component 4. The output end of the cylinder 31 is set downward and a fixed plate 32 is fixedly connected to the output end. A T-shaped plate 33 is connected below the fixed plate 32. The lower end of the T-shaped plate 33 presses down on the metal part 63 fed by the second feeding component 3, so that it is pressed firmly into the housing 6.

[0060] The feeding assembly 3 4 includes a slide table 2 41 horizontally arranged above the guide frame 16. A slider 2 is slidably arranged on the slide table 2 41. A cylinder 8 42 is fixedly installed on the top of the slider 2. A feeding frame 2 40 is fixedly arranged on one side of the feeding assembly 3 4. The feeding frame 2 40 conveys and guides the metal part 2 64. A pneumatic gripper 2 43 is fixedly installed on the cylinder 8 42. A vision sensor 44 is fixedly arranged on one side of the pneumatic gripper 2 43. The vision sensor 44 is model CV-035M.

[0061] The pneumatic gripper 43 is used to pick up the metal part 64 from the feed rack 40 and insert it into the housing 6. This completes the assembly of the metal part 63 and the metal part 64 onto the housing 6 and attaches them to the pre-assembled nut 62. Then, the next step of screw assembly is carried out.

[0062] The feeding assembly 4 5 includes a slide table 3 51 horizontally arranged above the guide frame 16. A slider 3 is slidably arranged on the slide table 3 51. A cylinder 9 58 is fixedly installed on the slider 3. A connector 57 is connected to the output end of the cylinder 9 58. A mounting bracket 56 is fixedly arranged below the connector 57. An automatic screwdriver 55 is rotatably arranged below the mounting bracket 56. A transmission rod 54 is fixedly connected to the automatic screwdriver 55.

[0063] A connecting block is fixedly provided on the side of slider three, and a coupling 53 is rotatably provided on the connecting block. A motor 52 is fixedly provided on the top of slider three. The output end of motor 52 faces downward and is connected to the upper end of coupling 53. The lower end of coupling 53 is slidably connected to transmission rod 54. When transmission rod 54 moves up and down with mounting bracket 56, transmission rod 54 remains connected to coupling 53. When motor 52 starts, it drives transmission rod 54 to rotate through coupling 53, causing automatic screwdriver 55 to rotate and screw screws onto nut 62.

[0064] The feeding assembly 4 5 also includes a feeding box 50, on which a rotating disk 59 is rotatably mounted. A motor 2 is connected below the rotating disk 59, driving the rotating disk 59 to rotate. The rotating disk 59 has arrayed material receiving slots 591. A pressure plate 592 is fixedly mounted on the feeding box 50. The end of the pressure plate 592 has an arc groove coaxial with the rotating disk 59. When a screw enters the material receiving slot 591, the screw may tilt or be pushed up. The arc groove is used to remove any protruding or excess screws from the material receiving slot 591. The pressure plate 592 also helps to flatten the top of the screw located in the material receiving slot 591, keeping the screw stable in the material receiving slot 591. This keeps the cross-shaped groove on the top of the screw horizontal and prevents the automatic screwdriver 55 from picking it up.

[0065] like Figures 12-20 As shown, an array of limiting rods 264 are fixedly provided at the bottom end of the sleeve 26. A disc 261 is slidably connected to the end of the limiting rod 264. The disc 261 is rotatably disposed at the bottom end of the sleeve 26. A hexagonal groove is provided below the disc 261. An internal gear ring 267 is fixedly provided at the top of the disc 261. A drive motor 265 is fixedly provided inside the sleeve 26. A drive gear 266 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 265. The drive gear 266 meshes with the internal gear ring 267 to drive the disc 261 to rotate.

[0066] A motor 260 is fixedly installed at the top of the sleeve 26. A gear 2601 is fixedly installed at the output end of the motor 260. A limiting claw 2602 is slidably provided inside the sleeve 26. A toothed groove 2603 is provided on the limiting claw 2602. The gear 2601 meshes with the toothed groove 2603 to control the limiting claw 2602 to move along the axis of the sleeve 26, gradually approaching or moving away from the upright 27.

[0067] The side of the upright 27 is provided with a U-shaped groove 270, and the limiting claw 2602 is inserted into the top or bottom of the U-shaped groove 270 to fix the lowest and highest positions of the upright 27.

[0068] The inner side of the sleeve 26 is provided with a sliding groove 263, which is slidably connected to the protrusion 272 provided on the outer side of the upright 27. A support spring 262 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the sleeve 26 and is connected to the upright 27. A groove 271 is fixedly provided at the lower end of the upright 27.

[0069] The inner side of the sleeve 26 is fixedly provided with an array of U-shaped rods 268. Straight grooves 2680 are fixed on both sides of the U-shaped rods 268. A spring 2681 is fixed at the bottom of the straight grooves 2680. A rectangular block 28 is slidably provided in the straight grooves 2680. A limiting protrusion 269 parallel to the straight grooves 2680 is provided in the U-shaped rods 268. A connecting shaft 281 is rotatably provided on the rectangular block 28. A hexagonal block 282 is fixed in the middle of the connecting shaft 281. One side of the hexagonal block 282 is in contact with the side of the limiting protrusion 269. At this time, the limiting hexagonal block 282 and the connecting shaft 281 rotate, so that they move with the rectangular block 28 in the guiding direction of the straight groove 2680. When the hexagonal block 282 moves to the lowest position, the hexagonal block 282 disengages from the limiting protrusion 269 and can rotate freely.

[0070] A torsion spring 285 is mounted on the connecting shaft 281. The two ends of the torsion spring 285 are connected to the rectangular block 28 and the hexagonal block 282 respectively, and are used to reset the hexagonal block 282. A driven block 283 is fixed on the upper side of the hexagonal block 282, and an inner support claw 284 is fixed on its lower side, which is used to contact the internal thread hole of the nut 62 and fix the nut 62.

[0071] like Figure 21 As shown, the mechanical switch includes a housing 6, which contains a terminal slot 60 and a terminal slot 61. A metal part 63 is installed in the terminal slot 61, and a metal part 64 is installed in the terminal slot 60. A fixing slot is provided in both the terminal slot 60 and the terminal slot 61, and a nut 62 is installed in each fixing slot. When the metal part 63 or the metal part 64 is fixed to the nut 62, a screw passes through the metal part 63 or the metal part 64 and connects to the nut 62 to fix the metal part 63 or the metal part 64.

[0072] The assembly process for some parts of the mechanical switch is as follows:

[0073] The housing 6 is placed into the vibrating feeding plate, and then the vibrating feeding plate feeds the housing 6 into the feeding rack 17 in an orderly manner. Then, the transfer plate 18 sequentially sends the individual housing 6 into one end of the guide rack 16. The transfer claw 14 moves back and forth to send the housing 6 into the guide rack 16. The housing 6 is slowly arranged and sent into the positions of each feeding component. The housing 6 passes through feeding component 1 2, feeding component 2 3, feeding component 3 4 and feeding component 4 5 in sequence.

[0074] After passing the feeding assembly 2, the nut 62 is attracted by the suction nozzle 23 and transferred into the housing 6. Then the housing 6 moves forward to the underside of the sleeve 26. The cylinder 24 controls the vertical rod 27 to move down, so that the hexagonal groove at the lower end of the sleeve 26 first aligns with the nut 62. Then the vertical rod 27 continues to move down. The vertical rod 27 moves down inside the sleeve 26, initially compressing the support spring 262, until the groove 271 at the lower end of the vertical rod 27 engages with the driven block 283. The top of the driven block 283 engages with the groove 271.

[0075] When the upright 27 is pressed down further, the driven block 283 will press down the hexagonal block 282 to move downward along the limiting protrusion 269 until the hexagonal block 282 disengages from the lower end of the limiting protrusion 269. At this time, the upright 27 is moved down further, and the top of the driven block 283 slides with the groove 271, thereby driving the hexagonal block 282 to rotate, so that the inner support claws 284 rotate outward and support the nut 62.

[0076] Then, the drive motor 265 can control the rotation of the drive gear 266 to drive the disc 261 to rotate, adjust the direction of the nut 62, thereby smoothly adjusting the nut 62 into the fixed groove, and then smoothly press-fitting the nut 62.

[0077] Subsequently, metal part 63 is pressed onto the second feeding assembly 3 in stages, and metal part 64 is pressed onto the third feeding assembly 4. Then, screws are taken from the fourth feeding assembly 5 and installed and fixed inside the nut 62 to complete the assembly of the electrical contact components inside the housing 6. The small components of the housing 6 are assembled, and the operation is automated with a simple structure.

[0078] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of the invention. Various changes and modifications can be made to the invention without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed invention.
