[0040] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 5 The structure diagram of the preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown. The strip lamp assembly production system includes an automatic feeding mechanism 2 that can automatically convey the aluminum base 1 to the next process, a level detection mechanism 3 arranged next to the automatic feeding mechanism 2 to detect whether the conveyed aluminum base 1 is level, a lens assembly mechanism 4 arranged at the rear end of the level detection mechanism 3 to install a lens on a qualified aluminum base 1, a circuit board assembly mechanism 5 arranged downstream of the lens assembly mechanism 4 to install a circuit board on the product from the lens assembly mechanism 4, an end cap locking mechanism 6 located at the rear end of the circuit board assembly mechanism 5 to install an end cap and lock screws on the product from the circuit board assembly mechanism 5, and a glue injection mechanism 7 arranged downstream of the end cap locking mechanism 6 to inject glue into the product.

[0042] Obviously, for those skilled in the art, the strip lamp assembly production system includes more than just these structures. In order to ensure the sealing effect of the lamp, it is necessary to glue the aluminum base before installing the lens. Therefore, for this application, the strip lamp assembly production system also includes a glue dispensing mechanism 8 disposed between the horizontal detection mechanism 3 and the lens assembly mechanism 4 to dispense glue to the aluminum base 1;

[0043] After the lamp is assembled with the lens, circuit board and lamp beads, it is still necessary to determine whether the semi-finished product is qualified, that is, it is necessary to detect whether the lamp meets the voltage resistance requirements, whether the illumination, chromaticity, etc. of the lamp meet the standards, and whether it meets the voltage resistance requirements is generally judged by continuously energizing the lamp for a period of time and changing the voltage within the required voltage range; the detection of the light parameters of the lamp is mainly achieved through the light parameter detection mechanism. Therefore, the present application also corresponds to that a voltage resistance detection mechanism 9 for detecting whether the product is qualified and a light parameter detection mechanism 10 for detecting whether the light parameters of the product meet the standards are provided in sequence between the end cover locking mechanism 6 and the glue injection mechanism 7. For details, please refer to Figure 1-2 .

[0044] It should also be noted that no matter how many processes the production system includes, the various process mechanisms in the production line are independent of each other but interrelated, that is, the production system is assembled from various mechanisms. In this way, when a problem occurs in a single process mechanism, the corresponding process can be replaced so that the entire production line can maintain continuous working status without affecting production efficiency. The process mechanisms can also be arbitrarily matched or combined according to actual production needs to meet different production needs, and it has strong applicability.

[0045] In this embodiment, see Figure 3 and Figure 5 The horizontal detection mechanism 3 includes a first machine tool 31, a first aluminum bottom feeding component 32, a first bearing component 33, a horizontal detection component 34 and a first discharging conveying component 35. The first aluminum bottom feeding component 32 is arranged on one side of the first machine tool 31 and can communicate with the automatic feeding mechanism 2 and grab the aluminum bottom 1 to flip it and place it on the first bearing component 33 after receiving the signal sent by the automatic feeding mechanism 2; the first bearing component 33 is arranged along the length direction of the first machine tool 31, the horizontal detection component 34 is located below the first bearing component 33 and can move along the length direction of the first machine tool 31 to scan and detect the aluminum bottom 1; the first discharging conveying component 35 is located on the first machine tool 31 and is arranged side by side with the first bearing component 33 to convey the processed qualified aluminum bottom 1 to the next process.

[0046] The first bearing member 33 includes a first half bearing rail 331 and a second half bearing rail 332 arranged on the opposite side of the first half bearing rail 331, and a gap is provided between the first half bearing rail and the second half bearing rail; a retaining wall 333 is provided on the first half bearing rail 331, and a telescopic cylinder 334 is provided on the second half bearing rail 332. After the aluminum bottom 1 is placed on the first bearing member 33, a telescopic rod 334A in the telescopic cylinder 334 extends to push the aluminum bottom 1 against the retaining wall 333. Through this operation, the aluminum bottom with non-standard placement position can be placed as required, so as to facilitate the subsequent scanning detection of the horizontal detection member 34.

[0047] The horizontal detection component 34 includes a sliding module 341 arranged below the first bearing component 33 along the length direction of the first machine tool 31, and a laser detector 342 connected to the sliding module 341 and capable of sliding under the driving of the sliding module 341 and emitting light from the gap to collect and scan the aluminum bottom 1. The specific number of points collected by the laser detector 32 is more appropriate, which is determined according to actual needs. In this application, 10 points are preferably collected. By analyzing the coordinates of the 10 points, if it is found that each coordinate is within the error range, it means that the aluminum bottom 1 is horizontal. Otherwise, it is not horizontal, and the aluminum bottom 1 needs to be discarded to avoid entering the next link, thereby ensuring product quality.

[0048] Continue to see Figure 3The horizontal detection mechanism 34 also includes an optical fiber laser component arranged side by side between the first bearing component 33 and the first discharging conveying component 35 to perform laser scanning on the aluminum bottom 1. The optical fiber laser component includes a first bearing body 362 formed by at least two cylinder clamps 361 arranged at intervals, a second bearing body 363 arranged side by side with the first bearing body 362 and having the same structure, a length alignment component 364 arranged at the same end of the first bearing body 362 and the second bearing body 363, and an optical fiber laser scanner 364 located at the other same end of the first bearing body 362 and the second bearing body 363. The length alignment component 364 is composed of a telescopic cylinder, and the telescopic rod of the telescopic cylinder is extended when the aluminum bottom 1 is placed on the bearing body to apply a thrust to the end of the aluminum bottom 1 close to itself, so that it meets the end alignment requirements.

[0049] The optical fiber laser scanner 364 has position requirements for the aluminum bottom to be scanned. Generally, the position error can only be within 1mm. Otherwise, the scanning and engraving position will be inaccurate, affecting the appearance of the lamp. The length alignment component 364 can solve this problem very well. Before the optical fiber laser scanner 364 works, if the first carrier 362 and / or the second carrier 363 sense that the aluminum bottom 1 is placed, the sensing signal will be sent to the host computer (not shown in the figure). The host computer controls the length alignment component 364 to move, extend the telescopic rod and apply thrust to the end of the aluminum bottom 1 close to itself, so that it reaches the required position, that is, the length direction is aligned, and then the cylinder clamp 361 on the first carrier 362 and / or the second carrier 363 clamps the aluminum bottom 1, and then the optical fiber laser scanner 364 is started to engrave the aluminum bottom 1, thereby realizing laser marking.

[0050] When the qualified aluminum bottom 1 is completed by laser, it will be placed on the first discharge conveying component 35 to be transported to the next process. In order to facilitate the operation, the horizontal detection mechanism 3 also includes a first aluminum bottom unloading component 37 which is arranged opposite to the first aluminum bottom loading component 32 and is located on the other side of the first machine tool 31. The first aluminum bottom unloading component 37 clamps the qualified aluminum bottom 1 processed by the optical fiber laser component and places it on the first discharge conveying component 35.

[0051] See also Figure 2 and Figure 4 The end cap locking mechanism 6 includes an end cap feeding box 61, a first clamping, lifting and transferring component 62, a waiting station 63 and a working station 64 located on one side of the production line, wherein the waiting station 63 and the working station 64 are arranged side by side on the production line and perpendicular to the length direction of the production line, and the first clamping, lifting and transferring component 62 is arranged below the waiting station 63 and the working station 64 along the length direction of the production line and can be lifted and moved back and forth between the two to clamp and place the product; one end of the working station 64 is provided with a manipulator 65 which can obtain the end cap from the end cap feeding box 61 and assemble it to the end of the product from the circuit board assembly mechanism 5 and lock the wire and fix it.

[0052] like Figure 4 As shown, the first clamping, lifting and transferring component 62 includes a sliding rail 621 vertically arranged below the working station 64 and the waiting station 63, a lifting cylinder 622 connected to the sliding rail 621 and capable of moving under the drive of the sliding rail 621, and a clamp 623 is provided on the top of the lifting cylinder 622 which can be automatically opened and closed to clamp the product.

[0053] Since end caps need to be installed at both ends of the long strip lamp, the end cap locking mechanism 6 has two groups. The two end cap supply boxes 61 are respectively located on both sides of the production line, and other components are placed according to the positions of the normal production line. In this way, after the first end cap locking mechanism 6 completes the end cap assembly and locking of one end of the lamp, the next end cap locking mechanism 6 completes the end cap assembly and locking of the other end, finally realizing the end cap assembly and locking operation of the product at both ends.

[0054] As for the automatic feeding mechanism 2, glue dispensing mechanism 8, lens assembly mechanism 4, circuit board assembly mechanism 5, withstand voltage detection mechanism 9, optical parameter detection mechanism 10, glue injection mechanism 7 and other components mentioned above, since some structures are relatively simple and some structures have been protected or explained in previous patent applications, they will not be elaborated in detail here. Of course, it should be noted that, as mentioned above, some products cannot enter the next process or leave the factory if they fail the test, and additional processes are required for corresponding recycling. In this production system, a defective product placement area 11 is also provided above the rear end of the glue injection mechanism 7, and good products are sent out by the automatic discharging mechanism 12 located at the rear end of the glue injection mechanism 7. At this time, the operator will wipe the glue overflowing from the end cover of the lamp clean, and then perform subsequent operations such as manual material collection. Of course, it should be noted that relevant data collection and QR code scanning will be performed during manual material collection to realize online data entry, but since this is similar to the manual production system, it will not be repeated here.

[0055] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
