[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of automation, and particularly relates to a heating component assembly machine. Background Art

[0002] Currently, for the assembly of the heating element assembly of the company's electric heaters, as Figure 1 shown, it is necessary to assemble 4 parts together. First, the employee puts the heating element 2 into the housing 1, and then inserts the I-shaped pressing plate 3 into the guide groove 11 on the side wall of the housing 1 for fixation. Moreover, the pressing plate 3 and the housing 1 are in interference fit. The employee uses a hammer to strike the pressing plate 3, thereby fixing the heating element 2 in the housing 1 by the pressing plate 3. Finally, the assembled housing 1 is turned over, and the mesh cover 4 is pressed on the housing 1 for fixation by snap connection.

[0003] This assembly method is entirely manual, with low assembly efficiency and high manual labor intensity. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a heating component assembly machine to automatically assemble the heating element assembly.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the specific technical solution of the heating component assembly machine of the present invention is as follows:

[0006] A heating component assembly machine includes a positioning plate, and the housing pre-set with the heating element is fixed on the positioning plate; a positioning opening is formed on the positioning plate, and the lower end of the housing is exposed from the lower side of the positioning plate; a top block is arranged on the upper side of the positioning plate, and the top block is driven to descend and press the pressing plate into the guide groove of the housing; a lifting disc is arranged on the lower side of the positioning plate, and the lifting disc is driven to ascend and snap-connect the mesh cover and the lower end of the housing.

[0007] Furthermore, a lifting platform is arranged on the upper side of the positioning plate, and a placing groove for placing the pressing plates in a row is arranged on the lifting platform. One end of the placing groove is located directly below the top block and is provided with a discharge opening; when the top block is driven to press down, the top block makes the pressing plate penetrate through the discharge opening and insert into the guide groove.

[0008] Furthermore, a push rod is arranged at the end of the placing groove far away from the discharge opening. The push rod is driven to press the pressing plate against the inner wall beside the discharge opening, and makes the pressing plate always have a tendency to move towards the discharge opening end.

[0010] Furthermore, a pressing block is fixedly connected to the lower side of the lifting platform; as the lifting platform descends, the pressing block abuts against the heating element pre-set in the housing, so that the heating element and the housing are installed in place.

[0011] Furthermore, a limiting block is fixedly connected to the lower side of the lifting platform, and the lower end of the limiting block is used to abut against the positioning plate.

[0012] Further, a support plate is provided on the lower side of the positioning plate, and the support plate is driven to rise and abut against the lower end of the housing.

[0013] Further, the positioning plate is fixedly connected to the bottom plate, and a transverse moving plate is slidably connected to the bottom plate; the support plate and the lifting disc are respectively arranged at both ends of the transverse moving plate; the transverse moving plate is driven to move transversely so that the support plate or the lifting disc is located directly below the positioning opening.

[0014] Further, a positioning groove is provided on the lifting disc, and the mesh cover is sleeved in the positioning groove.

[0015] Further, a notch extending to the edge of the positioning groove is formed in the inner wall of the positioning groove of the lifting disc, and the notch is for inserting a clamping block protruding from the outer wall of the mesh cover.

[0016] The heating component assembly machine of the present invention has the following advantages: Due to the adoption of an automatic assembly mechanism, the efficiency is increased by 50% compared with manual assembly, and the labor intensity is greatly reduced. Description of the Drawings

[0025] To better understand the purpose, structure, and function of the present invention, the following further describes in detail a heating component assembly machine of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the heating component assembly machine of the present invention includes a main body bracket, a pressing plate assembly mechanism 7, and a mesh cover assembly mechanism 8.

[0027] Combined with Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the main body bracket includes a bottom plate 5, and a positioning plate 6 is erected on the bottom plate 5 through support columns. A positioning port 61 is formed on the positioning plate 6, a convex edge 12 is formed in the middle of the outer shell 1, the lower part of the outer shell 1 is inserted into the positioning port 61, and the convex edge 12 is pressed on the positioning plate 6, thereby axially fixing the outer shell 1 on the positioning plate 6.

[0028] To further determine the relative position between the outer shell 1 and the positioning plate 6, a shaft pin 62 is fixedly connected to the positioning plate 6, and the pin is inserted into the through hole of the convex edge 12, thereby circumferentially fixing the outer shell 1 and the positioning plate 6.

[0029] The heating element 2 is manually installed in the outer shell 1, so that the positioning plate 6 fixes the outer shell 1 containing the heating element 2. The pressing plate assembly mechanism 7 is located above the positioning plate 6 and inserts the pressing plate 3 into the outer shell 1 from top to bottom; the mesh cover assembly mechanism 8 is located below the positioning plate 6 and presses the outer cover on the bottom of the outer shell 1 from bottom to top.

[0030] The positioning plate 6 is erected with a top plate 63 through support columns, and the pressing plate assembly mechanism 7 is installed on the top plate 63. The pressing plate assembly mechanism 7 includes a lifting table 71, and the lifting table 71 is driven by a lifting cylinder 711 fixed on the top plate 63 to lift and lower. A top block 72 is arranged on the lifting table 71, and the top block 72 is driven by a pressing cylinder 77 installed on the lifting table 71 to lift and lower, thereby pressing the pressing plate 3 into the guide groove 11 of the outer shell 1.

[0031] Combined with Figure 5 shown, to realize the automatic feeding of the pressing plate 3, a placement groove 73 for placing the pressing plates 3 in rows is arranged on the lifting table 71. One end of the placement groove 73 is located directly below the top block 72 and is provided with a discharge port 731. When the top block 72 is driven by the pressing cylinder 77 to press down, the top block 72 makes the pressing plate 3 penetrate through the discharge port 731 and insert into the guide groove 11. A pushing mechanism is arranged at the other end of the placement groove 73. The pushing mechanism includes a push rod 74, and the push rod 74 is driven by an elastic member to press the pressing plate 3 against the inner wall beside the discharge port 731 and makes the pressing plate 3 always have a tendency to move towards the discharge port 731.

[0032] Combined with Figure 6As shown, for the above functions, the push rod 74 is arranged along the length direction of the placement groove 73 and penetrates through the side wall at one end of the placement groove 73. Thus, the push rod 74 slides along the length direction of the driving placement groove 73 under the action of elasticity. And as the elastic member, one end of the spring 75 is fixedly connected to the end of the push rod 74 away from the top block 72, and the other end is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the placement groove 73.

[0033] In addition, to ensure the stable lifting of the lifting platform 71, a vertically arranged sliding plate 76 is fixedly connected to the lifting platform 71. The back surface of the sliding plate 76 is slidably connected to the sliding groove on the cylinder body of the lifting cylinder 711, and the front surface of the sliding plate 76 is used to install the pressing cylinder 77.

[0034] To further save manpower, a pressing block 712 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the lifting platform 71. As the lifting platform 71 descends, the pressing block 712 abuts against the heating element 2, so that the heating element 2 and the outer shell 1 are installed in place. In this way, only the heating element 2 needs to be manually placed.

[0035] The lifting platform 71 is also fixedly connected with limiting blocks 713 on both sides of the pressing block 712. The lower ends of the limiting blocks 713 are used to abut against the positioning plate 6 to prevent the lifting platform 71 from descending excessively and damaging the outer shell 1.

[0036] The mesh cover assembly mechanism 8 is installed on the bottom plate 5 and includes a lifting plate 81. The mesh cover 4 is sleeved in the positioning groove 811 of the lifting plate 81. A jacking cylinder 82 is arranged on the bottom plate 5, and the lifting plate 81 is installed on the piston of the jacking cylinder 82. Thus, the lifting plate 81 is driven by the jacking cylinder 82 to rise, so that the mesh cover 4 and the outer shell 1 are clamped.

[0037] To determine the relative position of the mesh cover 4 and the lifting plate 81, a notch 812 extending to the edge of the positioning groove 811 is formed on the inner wall of the positioning groove 811 of the lifting plate 81. The notch 812 is for the insertion of the clamping block 41 protruding from the outer wall of the mesh cover 4, so as to determine the position of the mesh cover 4.

[0038] Since the convex edge 12 bears a large pressure when the pressing block 712 abuts against the heating element 2 and the pressing plate 3, it is prone to damage. Therefore, a supporting plate 9 is also provided on the bottom plate 5. When the pressing block 712 abuts against the heating element 2 and the pressing plate 3, the supporting plate 9 is driven by the upper supporting cylinder 91 installed on the bottom plate 5 to rise and abut against the lower end of the outer shell 1, sharing the pressure borne by the convex edge 12.

[0039] To ensure that the push plate or the lifting plate 81 can be used when needed, a transverse moving plate 51 is slidably connected to the bottom plate 5. The supporting plate 9 and the lifting plate 81 are respectively arranged at both ends of the transverse moving plate 51. The transverse moving plate 51 is driven by the transverse moving cylinder 52 to move transversely, so that the supporting plate 9 is located directly below the positioning port 61 when the pressing block 712 abuts against the heating element 2 and the pressing plate 3, and the lifting plate 81 is located directly below the positioning port 61 when assembling the mesh cover 4.

[0040] In this way, the housing 1 is fixed by the positioning plate 6, and the lower end of the housing 1 is exposed from the lower side of the positioning plate 6 through the positioning opening 61. The housing 1 is divided into upper and lower parts with the positioning plate 6 as the boundary, thus completing the feeding and starting the assembly.

[0041] First, the support plate 9 abuts against the lower end of the housing 1. Then, the lifting table 71 descends, and the pressing block 712 abuts against the heat release body pre-set in the housing, so that the heat release body is installed in place. Subsequently, the top block 72 descends, and the pressing plate 3 is pressed into the guide groove 11 to complete the installation of the pressing plate 3. Finally, the transverse movement plate 51 moves, and the lifting disk 81 is moved to directly below the positioning opening 61. The lifting disk 81 ascends, and the mesh cover 4 is snap-fitted to the lower end of the housing 1 to complete the assembly of the heating component.

[0042] It can be understood that the present invention is described through some embodiments. Those skilled in the art know that without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, various changes or equivalent replacements can be made to these features and embodiments. Additionally, under the teaching of the present invention, these features and embodiments can be modified to adapt to specific situations and materials without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
