Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of automated equipment, and particularly to a knitting type watchband pin inserting machine. Background Art

[0002] With the progress and evolution of the times, the form of watchbands has been constantly changing, keeping pace with the times in terms of texture, fashion sense, sports style, etc. For example, the Apple Watch has a very beautiful design, combines fashion sense, and is full of sports style. This positioning of the Apple Watch has won a broad market for it. Therefore, Apple has continuously launched new fashionable watchbands. There are various types of watchbands. Among them, the knitting type watchband is particularly popular among people. However, the knitting thread of the knitting type watchband has relatively large elasticity, ductility, and softness, so the positioning difficulty of the product is relatively large. At present, the production of watchbands mostly belongs to the manual mode. Although there is an SOP (Standard Operation Procedure) to formulate the manual operation process, the manual defect rate and unstable quality are still very high, which easily affects the stability of the overall product quality.

[0003] When producing the knitting type watchband, there is a process of inserting pins into the ear lines on both sides of the watchband. The current production method is manual pin insertion. During the pin insertion process, the worker needs to position the ear line and then insert the pin into the ear line. However, in actual production, the worker's fatigue caused by long-term labor will lead to a reduction in processing efficiency, unstable product quality, and poor economic benefits. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a pin inserting machine that can improve production efficiency, reduce the product defect rate, effectively improve product quality and product consistency, and reduce labor costs.

Immediately afterwards, the X-axis moving mechanism 31, the Z-axis moving mechanism 32 and the hollow rotating platform 35 drive the material taking cylinder 33 to the discharging port of the discharging channel 22. After the material taking cylinder 33 receives the information feedback from the discharging sensor 26, it drives the material taking claw 34 to clamp the pin. At the same time when the material taking action is performed, the X-axis linear driving mechanism 41 drives the tube positioning cylinder 44 to the working position, and then the tube positioning cylinder 44 is started to make the tube positioning claw 45 clamp and fix the ear wire, so that the ear wire is kept at the working height of the pin insertion. Then, the X-axis moving mechanism 31, the Z-axis moving mechanism 32 and the hollow rotating platform 35 drive the material taking cylinder 33 to the pin insertion working position to insert the pin into the ear wire. After the insertion is completed, the material taking claw 34 is released. The X-axis moving mechanism 31, the Z-axis moving mechanism 32 and the hollow rotating platform 35 drive the material taking cylinder 33 to return to the material taking position again for the material taking action. Then, the worker removes the braided watch band 100, and the watch band pin insertion work is completed.
