For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0057] See also Figures 1 to 10 This embodiment provides a material assembly device 100, which includes a loading component 110, a silo component 120, a material taking mechanism 130 and a moving module 140.

[0058] Further, the loading assembly 110 is used to sort the materials, and the loading assembly 110 is provided with a discharge port 111. The loading assembly 110 is used to sort the materials and convey them to the discharge port 111 in sequence, waiting for the material taking mechanism 130 to suck them. The silo assembly 120 has a feed hole 121. The silo assembly 120 includes a silo fixing component 122 and a silo body 123. By setting the silo fixing component 122, the silo body 123 can be fixed at a certain position, so as to cooperate with the material taking mechanism 130 to release the materials into the feed hole 121. The material taking mechanism 130 can suck or release the materials. The moving module 140 is transmission-connected to the material taking mechanism 130. The moving module 140 is used to drive the material taking mechanism 130 to move to the discharge port 111 of the loading assembly 110 to suck the materials; and to move to the silo assembly 120 to release the materials into the feed hole 121.

[0059] The material assembly device 100 completes the assembly of materials in the silo body 123 through the cooperation of the loading assembly 110, the silo assembly 120, the material taking mechanism 130 and the moving module 140. The material assembly device 100 can replace manual assembly, improve assembly efficiency and assembly accuracy.

[0060] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present application, the material assembly device 100 includes a loading assembly 110 , a silo assembly 120 , a material taking mechanism 130 , a moving module 140 , a rotating assembly 150 and a pressing plate assembly 160 .

[0061] Further, refer to Figure 3 The feeding assembly 110 includes a vibration plate 112, a linear vibration mechanism 114, a material guide trough 113, and a detection switch (not shown). The linear vibration mechanism 114 is connected to the vibration plate 112, one end of the material guide trough 113 is connected to the linear vibration mechanism 114, the other end of the material guide trough 113 is a free end, the discharge port 111 is arranged at the free end of the material guide trough 113, and the detection switch is arranged near the material guide trough 113, and the detection switch is used to detect whether the material guide trough 113 is full of materials.

[0062] By setting the vibration plate 112, the materials in the vibration plate 112 can be vibrated in sequence at the plate mouth, and the materials can be sorted out in sequence. Since the linear vibration mechanism 114 is connected to the vibration plate 112, the materials vibrated out from the vibration plate 112 can enter the guide groove 113 in sequence, and finally reach the discharge port 111 to wait for the material taking mechanism 130 to absorb them.

[0063] It should be noted that when the above-mentioned material guide chute 113 is connected to the vibration plate 112 , a certain gap needs to be set according to actual needs, such as a gap of 1 to 2 mm, to ensure that the material is smoothly transported into the material guide chute 113 .

[0064] Furthermore, a fixed number of discharge positions are provided on the material guide trough 113. When the amount of material entering the material guide trough 113 from the vibration plate 112 reaches a preset amount of the material guide trough 113, the vibration plate 112 stops vibrating.

[0065] Furthermore, by setting the above-mentioned detection element, it is possible to detect the material in the above-mentioned material guide trough 113. When the detection element detects that the material guide trough 113 is full of material, the detection element sends a signal to the vibration plate 112, and the vibration plate 112 stops vibrating; when the detection element detects that the material guide trough 113 is not full of material, the detection element sends a signal to the vibration plate 112, and the vibration plate 112 starts to vibrate and re-feeds the material.

[0066] The above-mentioned detection element can be a detection device similar to a Hall sensor.

[0067] Furthermore, a baffle 1131 is provided at the free end of the material guiding trough 113 .

[0068] By providing the baffle 1131, it is possible to prevent the material at the rear from pushing up the material at the front.

[0069] Further, refer to Figures 4-5 The silo assembly 120 has a feed hole 121. The silo assembly 120 includes a silo fixing component 122 and a silo body 123.

[0070] Further, the silo fixing member 122 includes a fixing plate 1221 and a cover plate 1223. Further, a positioning groove 1224 is provided on the fixing plate 1221, and the silo body 123 is installed in the positioning groove 1224. The cover plate 1223 covers the fixing plate 1221, thereby fixing the silo body 123 in the positioning groove 1224.

[0071] A partition plate 1227 is provided inside the positioning groove 1224 so that the fixing plate 1221 forms a II-type block positioning mode, which can ensure the relative position of the silo body 123 in the fixing plate 1221 and improve the positioning accuracy.

[0072] In the illustrated embodiment, the above-mentioned silo body 123 is used to assemble a miniature U-shaped plastic part. Figure 5 The shape and size of the silo body 123 match the positioning groove 1224 , and when the silo body 123 is installed in the positioning groove 1224 , the silo body 123 can be fixed on the fixing plate 1221 , thereby providing a basis for the subsequent cooperation with the material taking mechanism 130 to release the material into the silo body 123 .

[0073] Further, in the illustrated embodiment, a plurality of feed holes 121 are provided on the cover plate 1223. Further, the plurality of feed holes 121 are arranged in two rows.

[0074] Furthermore, the above-mentioned multiple feed holes 121 are all conical holes, and the diameters of the conical holes pass through the outer surface 1225 to the inner surface of the cover plate 1223 from large to small.

[0075] By setting the above-mentioned multiple feed holes 121 as conical holes, the taper of the conical holes can play a guiding role when the material enters the silo body 123 through the feed holes 121, thereby ensuring that the material can accurately enter the silo body 123.

[0076] Further, refer to Figures 7-8 The material taking mechanism 130 is installed on the Z-axis moving assembly 142 and can move up and down along the Z-axis direction to absorb or release the material. By connecting the material taking mechanism 130 to the moving module 140, the vacuum suction cup 131 can be moved to the discharge port 111 of the loading assembly 110 to absorb the material; or the vacuum suction cup 131 can be moved to the silo assembly 120 and release the material into the feed hole 121, so as to realize the assembly of the material in the silo body 123.

[0077] In the illustrated embodiment, the material taking mechanism 130 includes a vacuum suction cup 131, a vacuum generator (not shown) and a solenoid valve (not shown). The inlet of the solenoid valve is connected to compressed air, the outlet of the solenoid valve is connected to the vacuum suction cup 131, and the vacuum generator is connected to the vacuum suction cup 131 through a pipeline.

[0078] When sucking materials, the solenoid valve opens, and negative pressure is generated through the vacuum generator, which is transmitted to the vacuum suction cup 131, and the vacuum suction cup 131 sucks the materials. When releasing materials, the Z-axis moving component 142 drives the vacuum suction cup 131 to descend to the top of the feed hole 121. After reaching the preset position, the Z-axis moving component 142 stops moving, the solenoid valve is closed, the vacuum generator does not generate vacuum, and the materials fall into the silo body 123 by their own weight.

[0079] Furthermore, the moving module 140 includes an X-axis moving component 141 , a Z-axis moving component 142 , and a Y-axis moving component 143 .

[0080] The material picking mechanism 130 is connected to the Z-axis moving component 142. Driven by the Z-axis moving component 142, the material picking mechanism 130 can move up and down along the Z-axis direction, thereby realizing the suction or release of the material.

[0081] Furthermore, the Z-axis moving component 142 is connected to the X-axis moving component 141 and can move along the X-axis direction. Since the material picking mechanism 130 is connected to the Z-axis moving component 142, the material picking mechanism 130 can move along the X-axis direction simultaneously with the Z-axis moving component 142, so that the material has two degrees of freedom in the Z-axis direction and the X-axis direction.

[0082] Furthermore, the silo assembly 120 is installed on the Y-axis moving assembly 143, so that the silo assembly 120 can move along the Y-axis direction, thereby being able to approach or move away from the material taking mechanism 130 in the Y-axis direction to release materials in different feed holes 121.

[0083] Reference Figures 1-2 , the X-axis moving component 141 is arranged on the first support plate 170, and the Y-axis moving component 143 is arranged on the second support plate 171, and the first support plate 170 and the second support plate 171 enclose a working area. The X-axis moving component 141 and the Y-axis moving component 143 move in this area. The intersection of the X-axis moving component 141 and the Y-axis moving component 143 is taken as point O, and the silo component 120 is installed in the -y direction of the Y-axis moving component 143. Two rows of parallel feed holes 121 are opened on the cover plate 1223 of the silo component 120 along the Y-axis direction, wherein the first row of feed holes 121 is close to the side of the loading component 110, and the other row is the second row of feed holes 121.

[0084] When the silo assembly 120 moves along the +y direction of the Y-axis, it approaches the material picking mechanism 130, and when the silo assembly 120 moves along the -y direction of the Y-axis, it moves away from the material picking mechanism 130, thereby releasing materials in each feed hole 121 of the first row of feed holes 121; or releasing materials in each feed hole 121 of the second row of feed holes 121.

[0085] After materials are released from the first row of feed holes 121 , the rotating assembly 150 rotates the silo assembly 120 180 degrees, so that the material taking mechanism 130 continues to release materials into the second row of feed holes 121 in sequence.

[0086] Specifically, refer to Figure 4 and Fig. 9 , the rotating assembly 150 is connected to the fixed plate 1221 of the silo assembly 120. Therefore, when the rotating assembly 150 rotates, it can drive the fixed plate 1221 to rotate, and then drive the silo fixing component 122 and the silo body 123 to rotate. The rotating assembly 150 can drive the silo assembly 120 to rotate between 0 and 190 degrees. In the illustrated embodiment, the silo assembly 120 is selected to rotate 180 degrees.

[0087] In other optional embodiments, the rotating assembly 150 can be set to other rotation angles according to actual needs.

[0088] Furthermore, the X-axis moving assembly 141 , the Y-axis moving assembly 143 , the Z-axis moving assembly 142 and the rotating assembly 150 are all driven by cylinders.

[0089] In other optional embodiments of the present application, the above-mentioned X-axis moving component 141, Y-axis moving component 143, Z-axis moving component 142 and rotating component 150 can also achieve linear motion or rotational motion through other common driving mechanisms in the field, such as electric cylinders, linear motors, etc.

[0090] Further, refer to Figure 2 and Fig.10 The pressure plate assembly 160 is disposed above the Y-axis moving assembly 143 and is capable of moving along the Z-axis direction.

[0091] By setting the pressure plate assembly 160 to move up and down along the Z-axis direction, downward pressure can be generated on each material released inside the silo body 123, so that each material is further pressed into the installation groove of the silo body 123, thereby improving the quality of assembly.

[0092] Furthermore, the pressure plate assembly 160 includes a plurality of pressure fingers 161 , and the number of the pressure fingers 161 is the same as the number of the feed holes 121 ; the pressure fingers 161 can enter the feed holes 121 one by one.

[0093] The pressing plate assembly 160 is driven by a cylinder to achieve movement along the z-axis direction.

[0094] In other optional embodiments of the present application, the above-mentioned pressure plate assembly 160 can also achieve movement along the z-axis direction through other common driving mechanisms in the field, such as electric cylinders, linear motors, etc.

[0095] Further, refer to Figure 2 The above-mentioned pressing plate assembly 160 is installed on the first supporting plate 170 and is located on the side of the first supporting plate 170 facing the -y direction.

[0096] When the material taking mechanism 130 releases the material, the material falls under the action of gravity and enters the silo body 123 from the feed hole 121. When the inside of the silo body 123 is full, the silo assembly 120 moves in the +y direction under the action of the Y-axis moving assembly 143, and moves the silo assembly 120 to just below the pressing plate assembly 160. The pressing plate assembly 160 moves downward under the action of the Z-axis moving assembly 142 and presses into each feed hole 121, thereby pressing the material tightly in the silo body 123 to complete the assembly.

[0097] The material assembly device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application can quickly assemble materials into the silo body 123 through the cooperation of the loading assembly 110, the silo assembly 120, the material taking mechanism 130 and the moving module 140. Furthermore, by setting the pressing plate assembly 160, the quality of assembly is further improved, and high-efficiency and high-quality assembly is achieved.

[0098] The material assembly device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to the assembly of materials, replacing manual operation and improving production efficiency. The material assembly device 100 is particularly suitable for the assembly of some miniature plastic parts.

[0099] The material assembly device 100 shown in the illustrated embodiment is particularly suitable for assembling a miniature U-shaped plastic part 180. When in use, the U-shaped plastic parts 180 are vibrated out from the loading assembly 110 in sequence and arranged in a certain order. The material taking mechanism 130 moves to the discharge port 111 of the loading assembly 110 under the action of the X-axis moving assembly 141 and the Z-axis moving assembly 142, sucks a material, and then moves to the top of a certain feed hole 121 of the silo assembly 120 under the action of the X-axis moving assembly 141 and the Z-axis moving assembly 142. The vacuum suction cup 131 of the material taking mechanism 130 releases the material, and the material falls into the silo body 123 under the action of gravity. The material taking mechanism 130 repeats the above action to fill the first row of feed holes 121, and then the rotating assembly 150 rotates the silo assembly 120, and the material taking mechanism 130 repeats the above action to fill the second row of feed holes 121. Then the Y-axis moving component 143 moves to the top of the pressure plate component 160, and the pressure plate component 160 moves downward along the Z-axis direction and presses down into each feed hole 121 to press the material tightly against the silo body 123, thus completing the assembly of the U-shaped plastic part 180.

[0100] Reference Fig.11 Some embodiments of the present application provide a material assembly device 200. The device includes the material assembly device 100 and a control device 210 provided in the above embodiments. The control device 210 is a PLC. The material assembly device 100 is arranged on an operating platform 220, and an area 230 for placing the silo body is also reserved on the operating platform 220.
