Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of automatic control, in particular to a device for feeding and installing multiple sealing plugs and a method for using the device. Background Art

[0002] Automated assembly refers to an assembly technology that replaces manual labor with automated machinery. Automated assembly technology uses automatic assembly machines as assembly machinery, and requires flexible peripheral equipment to cooperate with partially mechanized production lines and auxiliary equipment to achieve partial automated assembly and fully automated assembly. The automated assembly machine must be equipped with corresponding clamping devices with tools and fixtures to ensure the accuracy of the relative positions of the assembled parts and realize the possibility of unit assembly and benchwork operations, such as installation, removal, screwing out and screwing in, pressing and loosening, pressing in, riveting, polishing and other necessary actions. Automatic assembly machines can be divided into rotary and straight-in types due to different workpiece conveying methods. According to the complexity of the process, they can be divided into single-station and multi-station structures. Rotary automatic assembly machines are often used in assembly occasions with a small number of assembly parts, small external dimensions, short assembly cycles or high assembly requirements. As for the large size of the reference parts, there are many assembly stations, especially in the assembly process with many detection processes or multi-process assembly with mixed manual assembly and automatic assembly operations, it is advisable to choose a straight-in automatic assembly machine.

[0003] During the assembly process, automated assembly can complete the following operations: parts transmission, positioning and connection; fixing parts to each other by press-fitting or by fastening screws and nuts; assembly dimension control and ensuring the quality of part connection or fixation; conveying assembled parts or products and packaging or stacking them in containers, etc.

[0004] Chinese patent (CN106514066B) discloses an automatic assembly welding device for heat pipe radiator, including a positioning jig, an upper cover jig, a three-dimensional glue dispenser, a working platform, a part feeding assembly, a part pushing assembly and an upper cover jig pushing assembly, wherein the positioning jig is embedded on the working platform; the part feeding assembly includes a feeding motor, a first lead screw coaxially connected to the output shaft of the feeding motor, a first nut slider threadedly sleeved on the first lead screw, a feeding box and a feeding plate, one end of the feeding plate is connected to the first nut slider, and the other end of the feeding plate extends into the feeding box; the part pushing assembly includes a push cylinder fixed at one end, the output end of the push cylinder is fixedly connected to a push plate, and the push plate has a material hole of the same shape as the feeding part; the upper cover jig is equipped with a heating resistor wire. The above equipment concentrates the two process steps of assembly and welding on one station. Although it reduces the space occupied by the equipment to a certain extent, it has great limitations on the processing object and limited processing accuracy.

[0005] Chinese patent (CN106112177B) discloses a device and method for automatically assembling a heat pipe radiator assembly, which includes a tool, a frame, a feeding conveyor belt and an assembly conveyor belt. The feeding conveyor belt and the assembly conveyor belt are respectively located at the front and rear ends of the frame. The assembly conveyor belt is arranged from front to back in sequence with a buffer station, a heat transfer connector station, a heat sink fin station, a gluing station, a heat pipe station and a cover station. The corresponding method includes the following steps: tool customization → feeding → assembly → assembly, wherein the assembly steps include heat transfer connector placement → heat sink fin placement → gluing → heat pipe placement → cover. The above-mentioned equipment adopts a method of positioning, placing and splicing corresponding parts in steps. Although the assembly accuracy is ensured, more stations occupy a large amount of space, and the applicability is poor under the condition of crowded assembly space.
