[0037] Taking the production and assembly of gel pens as an example, the connector is the pen body, and the slot is the pen cap. Currently, the assembly of the pen cap and pen body is performed using a step-by-step process, where a conveyor system delivers the pen body and pen cap directly under a robotic arm, where the robotic arm then inserts and assembles the pen cap and pen body. This method requires the conveyor system to deliver the pen body or pen cap directly under the robotic arm and hold it there, allowing the robotic arm sufficient time for insertion and assembly, which increases the assembly process time. Furthermore, this method cannot ensure alignment between the pen body and pen cap, necessitating manual inspection after assembly, which complicates the assembly process.
[0038] In view of this, the present invention provides a directional assembly device, Figures 1 to 3 This is an embodiment of the directional assembly device provided by the present invention.
[0039] See also Figures 1 to 2The present invention provides a directional assembly device 100 for assembling a plug-in component 200 and a slot component 300. The directional assembly device 100 includes a base 1, a first roller 2, a second roller 3, a first preparation wheel 4, and a second preparation wheel 5. The base 1 is formed with a cavity 11; the first roller 2 and the second roller 3 are installed in the cavity 11 along the same direction of rotation, and the wheel surfaces of the first roller 2 and the second roller 3 are alternately spaced to define an assembly area 111 at the interval; the first preparation wheel The wheel surface of 4 is used to arrange multiple said plug-in parts 200, and the first preparation wheel 4 and the first roller 2 are in rolling cooperation to transfer the multiple said plug-in parts 200 to the wheel surface of the first roller 2 in sequence; the wheel surface of the second preparation wheel 5 is used to arrange multiple said slot parts 300, and the second preparation wheel 5 and the second roller 3 are in rolling cooperation to transfer the multiple said slot parts 300 to the wheel surface of the second roller 3 in sequence, and are inserted and assembled one by one with the multiple said plug-in parts 200 in the assembly area 111.
[0040] In the technical solution provided by the present invention, the first preparation wheel 4 and the second preparation wheel 5 are used to fully prepare the connector 200 and the slot component 300 to ensure the continuous progress of the assembly process; the first roller 2 is used to guide the connector 200, and the second roller 3 is used to guide the slot component 300, so that the connector 200 and the slot component 300 enter the assembly area 111 along their respective preset trajectories and complete the insertion connection under the action of opposite tangential forces, which helps to increase the accuracy of the insertion connection and thus improve production efficiency.
[0041] It should be noted that this design does not limit the specific form of the base 1. The base 1 can be at least partially configured as a box structure to form the cavity 11, thereby providing sufficient space for the connector 200 and the slot 300 to move. The shape and size of the cavity 11 are also not limited and can be specifically configured according to the size and shape of the connector 200 and the slot 300 during actual production. In addition, to facilitate visual monitoring of the assembly of the connector 200 and the slot 300, one of the side walls of the base 1 can be configured to be transparent, such as made of a transparent glass plate or a transparent plastic plate. The inner wall of the cavity 11 can be optionally made of a non-debris-generating and strong elastic material to avoid rigid collision with the connector 200 and the slot 300, which may generate debris or cause damage to the connector 200 and the slot 300.
[0042] The spacing between the first roller 2 and the second roller 3 can be adjusted according to the specific forms of the connector 200 and the slot component 300, so that the spacing can not only limit the connector 200 and the slot component 300 to prevent the lateral displacement of the two, but also allow the plug-in products obtained after assembly to pass through; taking the rolling cooperation between the first roller 2 and the first preparation wheel 4 as an example, first, the wheel surface is not limited to the outer peripheral surface of the first roller 2 and the first preparation wheel 4 itself. When the outer peripheral surface of the first roller 2 and the first preparation wheel 4 is additionally provided with a structure for installing the connector 200, the wheel surface includes the outer peripheral surface of the structure; secondly, the rolling cooperation does not constitute a restriction on the spacing between the two wheel surfaces. According to actual conditions, the two wheel surfaces can be abutted or set at a small distance; the rolling cooperation between the second roller 3 and the second preparation wheel 5 is the same as the above, and will not be repeated here.
[0043] In addition, the present design does not impose any restrictions on the respective diameters of the first roller 2, the second roller 3, the first preparation wheel 4 and the second preparation wheel 5. The diameters of the first roller 2, the second roller 3, the first preparation wheel 4 and the second preparation wheel 5 can be set to be the same, or at least partially different. However, for ease of understanding, in the following text, the diameters of the first roller 2, the second roller 3, the first preparation wheel 4 and the second preparation wheel 5 are uniformly set to be the same.
[0044] As can be seen from the above, the first roller 2 and the second roller 3 are arranged to rotate in the same direction, so that at the assembly area 111, the wheel surface of the first roller 2 and the wheel surface of the second roller 3 have a tendency to move in opposite directions. In order to reasonably utilize this arrangement, in this embodiment, the first stock preparation wheel 4 and the first roller 2 roll in opposite directions, and the second stock preparation wheel 5 and the second roller 3 roll in opposite directions. For example, the first roller 2 and the second roller 3 are arranged to rotate in a clockwise direction, and the first stock preparation wheel 4 and the second stock preparation wheel 5 rotate in a counterclockwise direction. For the sake of convenience of description, the rolling cooperation between the first roller 2 and the first stock preparation wheel 4 is first defined as the first transfer area, and the rolling cooperation between the second roller 3 and the second stock preparation wheel 5 is the second transfer area. At this time, when the connector 200 on the first preparation wheel 4 is driven and rotated to the first transfer area, since the first preparation wheel 4 and the first roller 2 have the same rotation trend in the first transfer area, the connector 200 is driven by the first roller 2 to enter the assembly area 111 from the bottom, and is subjected to the upward tangential force applied by the first roller 2; similarly, when the slot component 300 on the second preparation wheel 5 is driven and rotated to the second transfer area, since the second preparation wheel 5 and the second roller 3 have the same rotation trend in the second transfer area, the slot component 300 is driven by the second roller 3 to enter the assembly area 111 from the top, and is subjected to the downward tangential force applied by the second roller 3, thereby achieving the completion of the plug-in connection of the connector 200 and the slot component 300 after the first roller 2 and the second roller 3 continue to rotate.
[0045] Next, in order to better achieve the continuous operation of the directional assembly device 100, in this embodiment, the rotation speed of the first roller 2 is set to be greater than the rotation speed of the first preparation wheel 4. Preferably, the rotation speed of the first roller 2 is 2 to 3 times the rotation speed of the first preparation wheel 4, which can ensure sufficient preparation of the plug-in component 200 on the first preparation wheel 4 without slowing down the assembly speed; the rotation speed of the second roller 3 is greater than the rotation speed of the second preparation wheel 5. Similarly, preferably, the rotation speed of the second roller 3 is 2 to 3 times the rotation speed of the second preparation wheel 5. The rotation speed of the first roller 2 is equivalent to the rotation speed of the second roller 3, that is, the rotation speeds of the first roller 2 and the second roller 3 can be strictly equal, or a differential speed within an allowable range can be formed, so that when one of the slot components 300 rotates to the preset position in the assembly area 111, one of the plug-in components 200 rotates to the preset position and is immediately plugged in and connected. It should be noted that the first roller 2, the second roller 3, the first preparation wheel 4 and the second preparation wheel 5 can be respectively equipped with a driving device so that the rotation speed, rotation direction and rotation start and stop time of the four can be independently controlled; of course, the first roller 2, the second roller 3, the first preparation wheel 4 and the second preparation wheel 5 can also be connected to different transmission components respectively, and then the four different transmission components are driven by the same driving component, which ensures independent control while helping to simplify the overall machine structure and reduce economic costs.
[0046] In addition, there are multiple technical solutions for fixing the connector 200 on the first roller 2 and the first stock preparation wheel 4, and for fixing the slot component 300 on the second roller 3 and the second stock preparation wheel 5. For example, when the connector 200 and the slot component 300 are made of iron material, the surfaces of the first roller 2, the second roller 3, the first stock preparation wheel 4, and the second stock preparation wheel 5 can be provided with magnetic materials to adsorb and fix the connector 200 and the slot component 300, respectively. In this embodiment, the directional assembly device 100 also includes a plurality of mounting structures 6, which are spaced apart on the surfaces of the first roller 2, the second roller 3, the first stock preparation wheel 4, and the second stock preparation wheel 5, respectively, to correspondingly mount the connector 200 and the slot component 300. The number of the mounting structures 6 is not limited in this design, but preferably, the mounting structures 6 can be arranged at equal intervals on the first roller 2 and the second roller 3, and the mounting structures 6 can be arranged at equal intervals on the first preparation wheel 4 and the second preparation wheel 5, to ensure that the transfer process and the insertion and connection process can be carried out one by one.
[0047] Specifically, the mounting structure 6 on the first roller 2 and the second roller 3 can be configured identically to the mounting structure 6 on the first stock preparation wheel 4 and the second stock preparation wheel 5, or can be configured slightly differently due to adaptive adjustments. Figures 1 to 3 The mounting structures 6 on the first roller 2, the second roller 3, the first preparation wheel 4 and the second preparation wheel 5 each include a mounting seat 61 and two clamping arms 62, wherein the mounting seat 61 is arranged on the wheel surface of the first roller 2, the second roller 3, the first preparation wheel 4 or the second preparation wheel 5, and a mounting groove 611 is provided on the side of the mounting seat 61 away from the wheel surface; the two clamping arms 62 are arranged on the two side groove walls of the mounting groove 611, and are elastically telescopically arranged in the directions of approaching and moving away. Based on this, taking the transfer process between the first preparation wheel 4 and the first roller 2 as an example, when the mounting seat 61 on the first preparation wheel 4 rotates to the first transfer area, and at the same time, the other mounting seat 61 on the first roller 2 rotates to the first transfer area, the notches of the mounting grooves 611 of the two are relative, which facilitates the transfer of the connector 200 on the first preparation wheel 4 to the first roller 2 to complete the transfer process; the transfer process between the second preparation wheel 5 and the second roller 3 is the same as above and will not be repeated here.
[0048] It should be noted that, it is preferred that the depth of the mounting groove 611 is set to be no greater than the height of the connector 200 or the slot component 300 in the corresponding direction, so as to facilitate smooth handover during the transfer process; it is preferred that the mounting groove 611 is set to be a through groove, and the length of the mounting groove 611 is no greater than the length of the connector 200, so as to facilitate the insertion and connection of the part of the connector 200 extending out of the mounting groove 611 with the slot component 300; it is preferred that the clamping force of the two clamping arms 62 on the connector 200 or the slot component 300 is set within an appropriate range, and should not be set to be too large so as to make it impossible to transfer; it should also not be set to be too small so as to have insufficient clamping force on the connector 200 or the slot component 300, so as to cause the connector 200 or the slot component 300 to fall out of the mounting groove 611 during rotation.
[0049] In view of the above, the depth of the mounting groove 611 is no greater than the height of the connector 200 or the slot member 300 in the corresponding direction. Furthermore, in this embodiment, if the depth of the mounting groove 611 of the mounting seat 61 located on the first roller 2 and the second roller 3 is set to H1, and the depth of the mounting groove 611 of the mounting seat 61 located on the first stock preparation wheel 4 and the second stock preparation wheel 5 is set to H2, then H1 ≥ H2. In addition, H2 is preferably no less than one-fourth of the height of the connector 200 or the slot member 300 to ensure good clamping of the connector 200 and the slot member 300. With this arrangement, taking the transfer process of the connector 200 as an example, the clamping area of the connector 200 in the mounting groove 611 of the first roller 2 is greater than the clamping area of the connector 200 in the mounting groove 611 of the first stock preparation wheel 4, so that the connector 200 can be smoothly transferred from the first stock preparation wheel 4 to the first roller 2. The transfer process of the slot member 300 is the same as described above and will not be described in detail here.
[0050] Next, see Figure 2 In this embodiment, the wall thickness of the two clamping arms 62 is gradually thickened along the groove depth direction, wherein the groove depth direction is the direction from the notch opening of the installation groove 611 to the groove bottom of the installation groove 611. This configuration causes the clamping force applied by the two clamping arms 62 to the plug connector 200 or the slot component 300 to gradually increase along the groove depth direction. This means that the clamping force applied to the plug connector 200 or the slot component 300 at the notch opening is relatively small, facilitating timely removal during subsequent transfer and insertion assembly. The gradually thickening configuration can be in the form of an inclined straight surface or a curved surface, which is not limited here.
[0051] Next, see Figure 3In this embodiment, the thickness of the clamping arm 62 is configured to gradually decrease and then increase along the corresponding rotational direction. The corresponding rotational direction corresponds to the rotational direction of the roller on which the clamping arm 62 is located. Based on this, the clamping arm 62 can be configured to include three segments connected in sequence along the rotational direction. The thickness of the first segment gradually decreases along the rotational direction, causing the width of the mounting groove 611 at this location to gradually decrease; the thickness of the second segment remains constant along the rotational direction, causing the width of the mounting groove 611 at this location to remain constant; and the thickness of the third segment gradually increases along the rotational direction, causing the width of the mounting groove 611 at this location to gradually increase. This configuration ensures that the clamping force on the plug-in component 200 or the slot component 300 is the greatest at the second segment, while the clamping force on the first and third segments is relatively weak. This facilitates the subsequent smooth removal of the resulting plug-in product from the mounting groove 611 after the plug-in component 200 and the slot component 300 are installed and assembled, facilitating collection.
[0052] Regarding the collection operation of the plug-in products after assembly is completed, in this embodiment, the cavity 11 is provided with a first discharge channel 114, a second discharge channel 115 and a finished product channel 116 connected to the outside of the base 1, and the first discharge channel 114, the second discharge channel 115 and the finished product channel 116 are correspondingly arranged below the first roller 2, the second roller 3 and the assembly area 111, so that the unassembled plug-in parts 200 pass through the first discharge channel 114 and are collected, the unassembled slot parts 300 pass through the second discharge channel 115 and are collected, and the assembled plug-in products pass through the finished product channel 116 and are collected. Among them, a first baffle 117 is protruding upward on the side of the second discharge channel 115 away from the assembly area 111. The first baffle 117 is used to block the plug-in component 200 from passing through the top of the second discharge channel 115, so that the unassembled slot component 300 can directly enter the second discharge channel 115 without continuing to rotate on the second roller 3, thereby interfering with the subsequent transfer process and insertion assembly process. A second baffle 118 is protruding upward on the side of the second discharge channel 115 close to the assembly area 111. The second baffle 118 is used to block the plug-in products so that the plug-in products can enter the finished product channel 116. The extension direction of the first baffle 117 and the second baffle 118 is not limited in this design. They can be extended vertically upward or extended from the second discharge channel 115 toward the assembly area 111. The first baffle 117 is preferably close to the wheel surface of the second roller 3, but does not abut the wheel surface of the second roller 3, so as to avoid interfering with the rotation of the second roller 3; the spacing distance between the second baffle 118 and the second roller 3 is set to allow a said plug-in component 200 to pass through, but cannot allow the said plug-in products to pass through.
[0053] In addition, to ensure that the first stock preparation wheel 4 and the second stock preparation wheel 5 have sufficient stock in real time, in this embodiment, the cavity 11 is provided with a first feed channel 112 and a second feed channel 113 connected to the outside of the base 1, so as to supply the connector 200 and the slot component 300 to the first stock preparation wheel 4 and the second stock preparation wheel 5. Taking the first feed channel 112 as an example, the first feed channel 112 has an inlet and an outlet. The inlet can be connected to a hopper or a material conveying device, and the outlet is aligned with the wheel surface of the first stock preparation wheel 4, so that the connector 200 in the first feed channel 112 enters the wheel surface of the first stock preparation wheel 4 in sequence. In addition, when the directional assembly device 100 includes the mounting structure 6, a push plate can also be provided in the first feed channel 112 for pushing the connector 200 to be embedded in the mounting groove 611 of the mounting seat 61. The first feed channel 112 is configured to have a gradually decreasing diameter from the outside to the inside, and the diameter of the inner end is configured to be equivalent to the outer diameter of the plug-in component 200, with the inner and outer diameter ratio being 1:1 to 1:1.5. This configuration allows the multiple plug-in components 200 to enter the first feed channel 112 only in a single row, and are limited at the inner end of the first feed channel 112 to enter the roller surface of the first roller 2 or the mounting structure 6 in a preset posture, facilitating the subsequent transfer process and the smooth insertion and assembly process; and / or, the second feed channel 113 is configured to have a gradually decreasing diameter from the outside to the inside, and the diameter of the inner end is configured to be equivalent to the outer diameter of the slot component 300, with the inner and outer diameter ratio being 1:1 to 1:1.5. The configuration of the second feed channel 113 is similar to that of the first feed channel 112 and will not be described in detail here.
[0054] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural transformations made by using the contents of the present invention description and drawings under the inventive concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
