[0002] Panel lights are mainly assembled from light strips, light trays, and light-transmitting panels. During the assembly process, the light strips need to be fixed on the bottom of the light tray. In the prior art, the light strips are fixed to the bottom of the light tray using a special glue through a glue dispensing process. When this process is used to fix the light strips, the special glue used to fix the light strips will age after the panel lights have been used for a period of time, or the quality of the special glue will be unstable, causing the light strips to lose their fixing force and fall off, resulting in a short service life of the panel lights.

[0003] In order to solve this technical problem, the inventor considered using a fixed structure to fix the light strip and the light panel. The automation equipment based on the prior art is a device for performing a dispensing process. The operation of fixing with a fixed structure needs to be performed manually.

In addition, the present invention provides various specific examples of processes and materials, but those of ordinary skill in the art can be aware of the application of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, a panel light of the present invention comprises a panel 402 , a light bar 403 and a light tray 404 . The panel 402 covers the light tray 404 , and the light bar 403 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the light tray 404 via a clamping member 401 .

[0037] The light bar 403 is fixed to the light panel 404 by the clamping piece 401. After the panel light is used for a long time, the connection parts will not age and the light bar will not lose its fixing force. The light bar and the light panel can maintain a long-term and firm connection.

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, specifically, the bottom of the light bar 403 and the light panel 404 are provided with corresponding mounting holes 405, and the clamping member 401 is placed in the two corresponding mounting holes 405. The clamping member 401 is provided with a head 410 and a mounting portion 420, and the head 410 and the mounting portion 420 are used to clamp outside the mounting holes 405 of the light bar 403 or the light panel 404 to fix the light bar 403 and the light panel 404. The head 410 and the mounting portion 420 can be separately provided, such as by snap fasteners, or can be integrally provided. The connection between the panel 402 and the light panel 404 can be a connection method in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here.

[0039] In some preferred embodiments, the mounting portion 420 is provided with a guide portion 421, and a clamping elastic portion 422 is provided at one end of the guide portion 421 close to the head portion 410. The guide portion 421 is used to guide the mounting portion 420 to pass through the two mounting holes 405, and the clamping elastic portion 422 is used to clamp the mounting portion 420 to the outside of the mounting hole of the light bar 403 or the light panel 404 after the mounting portion 420 passes through the two mounting holes 405. Thus, the head portion 410 and the mounting portion 420 are connected in an integrated manner, and the fixed connection between the light bar and the light panel can be completed through simple operations. Specifically, the clamping member can be made of a plastic material with a certain elasticity, and specifically can be made of PC plastic.

[0040] Specifically, the head 410 is arranged in a disc shape, the mounting portion 420 is arranged in an arrow-like shape, the guide portion 421 is arranged at the head position of the arrow-like mounting portion 420, the clamping elastic portion 422 is symmetrically arranged at the tail end of the arrow-like mounting portion 420, and the straight portion of the arrow-like mounting portion 420 forms a second connecting portion 423, which is connected to the head 410. In a specific application, the head 410 is clamped on the outside of the mounting hole 405 of the lamp panel 404, and the mounting part 420 is clamped on the outside of the mounting hole 405 of the light strip. During installation, the guide part 421 enters the mounting hole 405 from one side of the lamp panel 404, and the two clamping elastic parts 422 are squeezed and bent and deformed toward the second connecting part 423 to pass through the two mounting holes 405. After the mounting part 420 passes through the two mounting holes 405, the second connecting part 423 is placed in the two mounting holes 405, and the two clamping elastic parts 422 resume deformation, so that the mounting part 420 is clamped on the outside of the mounting hole 405 of the light strip 403, thereby fixing the light strip 403 on the lamp panel 404.

[0041] like Figure 3 , 5 As shown, an automated installation device for panel lights of the present invention comprises: an installation station, which is used to place light strips and light panels for installation; a first conveying mechanism 100, which is used to convey the snap-in parts; a first manipulator structure 200, which is connected to a second driving structure 280 to perform reciprocating motion between the first conveying mechanism 100 and the installation station, and the first manipulator structure comprises an automatic installation structure 201, which is used to grab the snap-in parts and press the snap-in parts into the installation holes of the light panel and the light strip.

[0042] In a specific application, the light bar and the light panel are placed on the installation station according to the installation requirements, the clips are automatically fed through the first conveying mechanism 100, the clips are grabbed from the first conveying mechanism 100 by the first manipulator structure 200, and the clips are pressed into the installation holes corresponding to the installation holes of the light panel and the light bar, so that the light bar and the light panel are fixedly connected, thereby easily and quickly completing the fixed installation of the light bar, saving time and effort, and improving production efficiency. Specifically, the installation station can be provided with a mold structure to fix the light bar and the light panel. Specifically, in this embodiment, the light bar is placed at the bottom and the light panel is placed at the top.

[0043] like Figure 6 As shown, in some preferred embodiments, the automatic installation structure 201 includes a gripper 210 and a first drive structure 220. The gripper 210 is provided with an adsorption chamber 211. The adsorption chamber 211 is connected with an adsorption member 212 for grabbing the card connector. The adsorption chamber 211 is used to provide a vacuum adsorption force to grab the card connector. The first drive structure 220 is connected to the gripper 210 to drive the gripper 210 to reciprocate so as to press the card connector into the mounting holes of the lamp panel and the light bar. In a specific application, the gripper is driven to reciprocate by the first drive structure 220, and the gripper 210 grabs the card connector and moves toward the lamp panel, replacing manual pressing of the card connector into the lamp panel. Specifically, the first drive structure 220 can be a third cylinder, the piston end of which is connected to the gripper 210, and extends through the piston end of the third cylinder to drive the gripper 210 to move, and press the card connector into the corresponding mounting hole on the lamp panel. Specifically, the adsorption chamber 211 can be connected to an exhaust device (not shown in the figure) to form a vacuum condition. Furthermore, the grasping member 210 is also provided with an exhaust nozzle 213. The adsorption member 212 and the exhaust nozzle 213 are connected to the adsorption chamber 211. The exhaust nozzle 213 is connected to the exhaust device through a pipeline. The exhaust device can be a vacuum pump.

[0044] In some preferred embodiments, the above-mentioned adsorption member 212 is provided with a grabbing groove 214. In specific applications, when the clamping member is adsorbed and grabbed, the head of the clamping member is located in the grabbing groove 214, and the clamping member is adsorbed in position, so that the vacuum adsorption force of the adsorption chamber 211 can well adsorb the clamping member for grabbing, and the clamping member is limited in the grabbing groove 214, so as to avoid displacement between the clamping member and the adsorption member 212 due to shaking and other factors during the grabbing and displacement, resulting in misalignment of adsorption and falling.

[0045] like Figure 5As shown, specifically, the first manipulator structure 200 also includes a main frame 260, and the main frame 260 includes a mounting rod 261 and a connecting rod 262. The connecting rod 262 is used to connect with the second driving structure 280 to drive the first manipulator structure 200 to move as a whole. The two ends of the connecting rod 262 are respectively connected to the second driving structure 280 through a third connecting member 263 and connected to the mounting rod 261 through a fourth connecting member 264; the mounting rod 261 is provided with more than one mounting position for installing the automatic mounting structure 201. Specifically, the second driving structure 280 can adopt a motor-driven, screw-driven structure in the prior art, and can specifically include a motor, a screw, and a movable seat threadedly connected to the screw. In specific applications, the first robot structure moves horizontally between the first conveying structure and the installation station, and moves up and down relative to the first mold structure and the second mold structure. Therefore, the second drive structure 280 includes two sets of motor and screw drive structures. The first robot structure is connected to the moving seat of one set of drive structures for up and down movement, and then connected to the other set of drive structures through the drive structure for horizontal movement.

[0046] In some preferred embodiments, an equal number of automatic installation structures 201 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the above-mentioned installation rod 261, and the number of automatic installation structures 201 on each side corresponds to the number of clips that need to be installed on the light bar. Several automatic installation structures 201 on either side constitute a first working unit 203, and several automatic installation structures 201 on the other side constitute a second working unit 204. The first cylinder of the first working unit 203 and the first cylinder of the second working unit 204 respectively act synchronously, and the grabbing piece 210 of the first working unit 203 and the grabbing piece 210 of the second working unit 204 respectively grab / release the clips synchronously. During specific operation, the automatic installation structure of the card connector on a working unit corresponds to the conveying station of the card connector respectively. The first working unit 203 and the second working unit 204 successively grab the card connectors, and then the first manipulator structure grabs several card connectors and moves them to the installation station where the light strips and the light panel are placed. The first working unit 203 and the second working unit 204 successively press the installation holes of the card connectors corresponding to the two light strips into the light panel, or simultaneously press the installation holes of the card connectors corresponding to the two light strips into the light panel. Therefore, one round of work of the first manipulator structure can complete the installation and fixation of the two light strips, greatly improving the production efficiency. Specifically in this embodiment, the first working unit 203 and the second working unit 204 are respectively provided with three groups of automatic installation structures 201.

[0047] In some embodiments, the automatic installation structure 201 further includes a guide member 230, the extension direction of which is parallel to the movement direction of the grabbing member 210, and is fixedly arranged relative to the first driving structure 220, and the grabbing member 210 is connected to the guide member 230 via a guide slide 240. In a specific application, the grabbing member 210 drives the clamping member to move along the guide member 230 under the drive of the third cylinder. By using a slide bar moving along the guide member, the length of the slide bar can be matched with the movement stroke of the grabbing member, and the length of the guide member can be reduced within a suitable range, which can reduce the installation space of the automatic installation structure when it is used and installed. Specifically, the grabbing member 210 is connected to the piston end of the third cylinder via a T-shaped connector 270, and is connected to the guide slide 240 via the T-shaped connector 270.

[0048] Specifically, the automatic installation structure 201 further includes an L-shaped installation seat 250, and the L-shaped installation seat 250 includes a first panel 251 and a second panel 252. The cylinder body of the third cylinder is connected to the first panel 251, and the guide member 230 is connected to the second panel 252. In a specific application, the overall structure of the automatic installation structure 201 is connected to the installation rod 261 through the L-shaped installation seat 250 (specifically the second panel 252).

[0049] like Figure 7 As shown, in some preferred embodiments, the first conveying mechanism 100 includes a conveying channel 110 and a fixing device 120. The conveying channel 110 is used to convey the clamping parts. The fixing device 120 is arranged at the end of the conveying channel 110 to fix the single clamping parts in a dislocation. The clamping parts installed on the wheel are fixed in a dislocation relative to the conveying channel 110 and the clamping parts thereon by the fixing device 120, so that the single clamping parts are fixed relative to the automatic installation structure 201, and then the automatic installation structure 201 correspondingly grabs one clamping part, and the grabbing is accurate and stable.

[0050] In some embodiments, the fixing device 120 includes a first fixing member 121 and a second fixing member 122, wherein the first fixing member 121 is docked with the end of the conveying passage 110 to receive the clamping member, and the second fixing member 122 is staggered with the end of the conveying passage 110, and the first fixing member 121 can reciprocate relative to the second fixing member 122 to stagger and fix the clamping member in the second fixing member 122. Specifically, the first fixing member 121 is connected to a first cylinder 123 for driving.

[0051] In some preferred embodiments, the first fixing member 121 is provided with a workpiece groove 1211 that matches the clamping member, and the workpiece groove 1211 is docked with the end of the conveying channel 110 to receive the clamping member. During installation, the clamping member passes through the mounting holes of the lamp panel and the light bar in sequence from the mounting portion to install the light bar at the bottom of the lamp panel. Therefore, when the conveying channel is used for conveying and the first manipulator structure is used for grabbing, the head of the clamping member needs to face upwards, and the workpiece groove is passed, so that the head of the clamping member remains facing upwards when the clamping member is transferred between the conveying channel and the first manipulator structure.

[0052] like Fig. 9 As shown, specifically, the workpiece slot 1211 includes a slot cavity 1212, a support platform 1213 is provided on the top of the slot cavity 1212, and the clamping part holds the head and is translated upward to be transported to the workpiece slot 1211, wherein the head 410 is supported on the support platform 1213, and the mounting portion 420 is placed in the slot cavity 1212.

[0053] In some preferred embodiments, the workpiece slot 1211 is provided with a first position-limiting portion 1214. Thus, the position of the clamping member is relatively fixed after entering the workpiece slot 1211, so that the clamping member and the automatic installation structure are more accurately aligned.

[0054] like Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the second fixing member 122 is provided with a fixing groove 1221 that matches the first fixing member 121. The first fixing member 121 drives the clamping member to enter the fixing groove 1221, so that the clamping member is in a surrounding fixed state.

[0055] In some preferred embodiments, the first fixing member 121 is provided with a blocking portion 1215, and the blocking portion 1215 is used to block the delivery port at the end of the delivery channel 110. Figure 8 As shown, in a specific application, the movement direction of the first fixing member 121 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the clamping member on the horizontal plane, the workpiece slot 1211 is connected with the end of the conveying channel 110, and the clamping member is pushed and translated into the workpiece slot 1211 on the conveying channel 110. When the first clamping member 130 at the conveying front end enters the workpiece slot 1211, the second clamping member will continue to be conveyed forward to the position of the original first clamping member; Fig.10 As shown, when the first fixing member 121 moves into the fixing groove 1221 , the blocking portion 1215 moves to the end of the conveying channel 110 , thereby blocking the conveying port to prevent the clamping member on the conveying channel 110 from being separated from the conveying channel.

[0056] like Figure 8As shown, in some preferred embodiments, the automatic conveying structure 201 also includes a flow-limiting structure 140, which is arranged at the front end of the conveying channel 110, and is used to limit the clamping parts at the rear end from continuing to be conveyed forward, so as to prevent the clamping parts at the front end from being separated from the conveying channel. Specifically, the flow-limiting structure 140 reciprocates perpendicularly to the conveying direction of the clamping parts on a horizontal plane, and enters between the clamping parts to limit the flow. The flow-limiting structure 140 includes a flow-limiting rod 141, and a second limiting portion 142 is provided at the end of the flow-limiting rod 141. The second limiting portion 142 is arranged in a triangular shape, and enters between the clamping parts from the top to limit the flow. The movement of the flow-limiting rod 141 is driven by a second cylinder 143.

[0057] In some preferred embodiments, the fixing device 120 further includes a third guide rail 124, and the bottom of the first fixing member 121 may be provided with a matching first slide groove (not shown in the figure), or may be connected to the third guide rail 124 via a slider (not shown in the figure), thereby, the first fixing member 121 reciprocates along the third guide rail 124.

[0058] like Figure 7 As shown, specifically, the clamping parts are powered by the vibration disk 150, and the conveying channel 110 is connected to the spiral guide rail of the vibration disk 150. The position and posture of the clamping parts (head facing up) are adjusted by the vibration disk 150, and the clamping parts are automatically and accurately conveyed to the conveying channel 110 in an orderly manner, and the clamping parts are pushed to continue to be conveyed forward along the conveying channel 110. A detector 160 is provided at the beginning of the conveying channel 110 for detecting the loading condition of the conveying channel 110. When the conveying channel 110 is fully loaded with clamping parts, the vibration disk 150 is controlled to stop vibrating and conveying. Specifically, the detector 160 can be an infrared sensor, which is arranged above the conveying channel 110. Since it is a prior art to use a vibration disk to screen / adjust the state of parts and automatically convey the parts in a unified state, the working principle and specific structure of the vibration disk will not be described in detail here.

[0059] Specifically in this embodiment, three groups of first conveying mechanisms 100 are provided. The three groups of first conveying mechanisms 100 are arranged adjacent to the installation stations and correspond to the three groups of automatic installation structures 201 of the first working unit 203 / the second working unit 204 , respectively.

[0060] like Figure 3 , 4As shown in Figure 11, in some preferred embodiments, the panel light automated installation equipment further includes a loading station and a second conveying structure 300, the loading station is used to place the light bar and the light panel, and the second conveying mechanism 300 corresponds to the loading station and the installation station, and is used to convey the light bar and the light panel at the loading station to the installation station. Specifically, the second conveying structure 300 includes a first mold structure 301 and a second mold structure 302, the first mold structure 301 and the second mold structure 302 are connected to a third driving structure 320 for reciprocating motion, and the first mold structure 301 and the second mold structure 302 have opposite motion directions, so that the two alternately correspond to the above-mentioned loading station and the installation station; the first mold structure 301 and the second mold structure 302 both include a mold 310, the contour structure of the mold 310 is consistent with the light panel, and the mold 310 is provided with a station slot 311 for placing the light bar.

[0061] By having the first mold structure and the second mold structure alternately correspond to the loading station or the installation station, the placement work and the fixed installation work of the light strip and the light panel can be carried out simultaneously, which effectively improves the production efficiency.
