[0098] According to one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the figure, it can be seen that an antenna automatic assembly device includes:

[0099] An assembly mechanism 2, which is used to install the antenna body into the carrier;

[0100] A loading mechanism 1, which is used to transfer the antenna body and the carrier into the assembly mechanism 2; and

[0101] A material unloading mechanism 3, which is located downstream of the assembly mechanism 2;

[0102] The assembly mechanism 2, the loading mechanism 1 and the unloading mechanism 3 are connected by a transmission component to form an integrated production line device. Driven by the transmission component, the carrier placed on the transmission component is transferred to the loading mechanism 1, the assembly mechanism 2 and the unloading mechanism 3 in sequence.

[0103] The assembly mechanism 2 has an assembly component 23 built therein, through which the antenna body transmitted from the feeding mechanism 1 is grabbed and loaded into a carrier transported by the transmission component, and the carrier is transferred to the unloading mechanism 3 along with the transmission component;

[0104] The transmission component is provided with assembly stations and re-inspection stations in sequence along its feeding direction. The assembly component 23 grabs the antenna body and loads it into the carrier of the assembly station. The unloading mechanism 3 includes a re-inspection component 32 corresponding to the re-inspection station. The antenna body assembled at the front end of the transmission component is inspected by the re-inspection component 32 on the downstream end of the transmission component, thereby accurately inspecting the processed products to facilitate screening of defective products and ensure product quality.

[0105] The transmission component includes a transition line body 12, a first transmission line body 21 and a second transmission line body 34. The transition line body 12, the first transmission line body 21 and the second transmission line body 3 correspond to the loading mechanism 1, the assembly mechanism 2 and the unloading mechanism 3 in sequence. The transition line body 12, the first transmission line body 21 and the second transmission line body 3 are connected to form a feeding channel of the carrier.

[0106] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism 1 is internally provided with a transfer assembly 14, and the transition line 12 and the transfer assembly 14 respectively move the carrier and the antenna body into the assembly mechanism 2, and the moving directions of the carrier and the antenna body are parallel to each other;

[0107] The assembly station is arranged on the first transmission line body 21, and an antenna body unloading station is arranged at one end of the transfer assembly 14 close to the assembly mechanism 2;

[0108] While the carrier on the transition line 12 is transferred to the assembly station, the assembly component 23 grabs the antenna body from the antenna body unloading station and transfers it to the assembly station to load the antenna body into the carrier at the assembly station.

[0109] The antenna body needs to be loaded into the carrier, and before the antenna body is loaded into the carrier, the antenna body needs to be pre-processed, so that the carrier loading time does not match the antenna body loading time, which can easily cause carrier stockpiling. At the same time, since the antenna body is processed by the pre-processing mechanism and the assembly mechanism, the number of its structures is large, and it is difficult to arrange the components in the loading mechanism 1 and the assembly mechanism 2 within a smaller area. Therefore, a buffer distance is formed by the transition line 12 and the transfer assembly 14. Specifically, the distance from the carrier on the transition line 12 to the assembly mechanism 2 is greater than the distance from the antenna body on the transfer assembly 14 to the assembly mechanism 2, so that the carrier loading rate is adapted to the antenna body loading speed, thereby improving production efficiency and improving resource utilization.

[0110] In a preferred embodiment, the number of the transmission components is two, the two first transmission lines 21 are arranged on the two outer sides corresponding to the assembly component 23, and the transfer component 14 is located between the two transition lines 12; the carrier is transmitted through the two transition lines 12 and the first transmission line 21 to improve the loading efficiency of the carrier;

[0111] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism 1 includes a front end line body 11 and a carrier feeding assembly 16, the front end line body 11 is mounted at the upstream end of the two transmission assemblies, and the carrier feeding assembly 16 grabs the carrier on the front end line body 11 and transfers it to any one of the transmission assemblies; specifically, the front end line body 11 is arranged close to the upstream end of the transition line body 12, and the carrier feeding assembly 16 is used to grab the carrier on the front end line body 11 and transfer it to the transition line body 12.

[0112] Specifically, the carrier loading assembly 16 is horizontally mounted above the two transition line bodies 12, and the front end line body 11 is arranged below the transition line body 12;

[0113] The carrier loading assembly 16 includes a driving module and a grabbing module installed on the power output end of the driving module; a grabbing station is arranged on the front end line body 11, and a carrier loading station is arranged at the upstream end of the transition line body 12; driven by the driving module, the grabbing module moves to the grabbing station to grab the carrier, and then moves alternately to the carrier loading stations on the two transition line bodies 12.

[0114] The front end line body 11 includes a first transmission part 111 and a second transmission part 113, and the first transmission part 111 is connected to the second transmission part 113 to form a transmission channel of the front end line body 11; wherein, the first transmission part 111 and the second transmission part 113 are vertically arranged, and a transfer part 112 is arranged at the angle formed by the first transmission part 111 and the second transmission part 113, and the second transmission part 113 is located below the two transition line bodies 12, and the transfer part 112 grabs the carrier on the first transmission part 111 and transfers it to the second transmission part 113, and then the carrier loading component 16 grabs and transfers it to the second transmission part 113, and alternately places it on the two transition line bodies 12, thereby realizing the loading process of the carrier.

[0115] In a preferred embodiment, the carriers on the transition line 12 and the first transmission line 21 are transported in a horizontal direction, and the loading mechanism 1 includes:

[0116] A loading assembly 13, which is used to transfer a tray for holding the antenna body; and

[0117] A grabbing assembly 15, which is used to transfer the antenna body placed on the tray to the transfer assembly 14;

[0118] The transition line body 12 drives the carrier to move along a straight line in a horizontal plane, and the loading assembly 13 includes a lifting portion 132, and a tray loading station 134 is arranged directly above the lifting portion 132;

[0119] The material tray is pushed by the lifting portion 132 so that the material tray moves vertically upward to the material tray loading station 134 , and the grabbing assembly 15 grabs the antenna body in the material tray at the material tray loading station 134 .

[0120] The transfer assembly 14 is located between the two transition lines 12. Since the periphery is restricted by the transition line 12 and the front line 11, it is difficult to transfer the antenna body in the horizontal direction. In order to load the antenna body, a vertical loading method is adopted to avoid interference between loading structures. At the same time, the buffer distance from the antenna body to the assembly mechanism 2 is shortened.

[0121] Furthermore, the feeding assembly 13 further includes a material dividing portion 133, on which a material tray feeding station 134 and a material tray recovery station 135 are provided, and a material tray group formed by stacking material trays is provided directly below the material tray feeding station 134;

[0122] The material distributing part 133 includes a material taking module and a driving component. Driven by the driving component, the material taking module reciprocates between the tray loading station 134 and the tray recovery station 135;

[0123] When the material taking module is located at the tray loading station 134, the lifting part 132 pushes the tray group, so that the tray group moves to the top tray of the tray group and is located at the tray loading station 134, and the material taking module grabs the tray at the top tray group;

[0124] When all the antenna bodies on the trays in the tray loading station 134 are taken out, the material taking module drives the empty trays to move to the tray recovery station 135, and stacks the empty trays directly below the tray recovery station 135; specifically, tray conveying parts 131 for holding trays are respectively provided below the tray recovery station 135 and the tray loading station 134;

[0125] The tray transmission part 131 includes a tray bin 1312, in which the tray is placed, and a part of the lifting part 132 extends into the bottom of the tray in the tray bin 1312 to lift the tray;

[0126] Furthermore, the tray transmission unit 131 also includes a horizontal driving module 1311, and the horizontal driving module 1311 simultaneously drives the two tray bins 1312, and the two tray bins 1312 are arranged along a direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the material picking module. Under the drive of the horizontal driving module 1311, the two tray bins 1312 move alternately to directly below the tray loading station 134 or the tray recovery station 135.

[0127] The assembly component 23 includes two mechanical arms and corresponding grasping parts installed on the mechanical arms. The two mechanical arms drive the grasping parts thereon to transfer the antenna body on the transfer component 14 to the assembly station corresponding to the first transmission line body 21 .

[0128] The feeding mechanism 1 comprises: a feeding component 13 and a grabbing component 15, and the grabbing component 15 grabs the antenna body placed in the material tray transmitted by the feeding component 13;

[0129] The feeding assembly 13 and the grabbing assembly 15 are located between the two transition lines 12, and the number of the transfer assemblies 14 corresponds to the first transmission line 21;

[0130] The robotic arm drives the grasping part to grasp the antenna body from the corresponding transfer component 14 and transfer it to the corresponding assembly station. After the grasping component 15 grasps the antenna body on the loading component 13, it drives the antenna body to be transferred to any of the transfer components 14 for loading.

[0131] The transfer assembly 14 includes a track 141 and a receiving plate 142 sliding on the track 141, and the receiving plate 142 is used to receive the antenna body;

[0132] The antenna body unloading station is arranged at one end of the track 141, and the antenna body loading station is arranged at the other end opposite to the track 141;

[0133] The track 141 includes a linear motor, and the receiving plate 142 is installed on the power output end of the linear motor, so that the receiving plate 142 reciprocates between the antenna body unloading station and the antenna body loading station.

[0134] In a preferred embodiment, the assembly mechanism 2 further comprises:

[0135] An assembly component 23, which is used to grab the antenna body from the transfer component 14 and transfer it to the assembly station; and

[0136] A detection component 22, which is located on the moving path of the assembly component 23 for grabbing the antenna body;

[0137] The first transmission line body 21 is provided with an assembly station and a pressure holding station in sequence along its own transmission direction; the first transmission line body 21 is provided with a positioning bracket 212 and a pressure holding component 25 to correspond to the assembly station and the pressure holding station, the positioning bracket 212 is used to limit the position of the carrier, and the assembly component 23 grabs the antenna body and then moves it to the carrier on the positioning bracket 212;

[0138] Specifically, the positioning bracket 212 is located on the first transmission line body 21, and the positioning bracket 212 is close to the upstream end of the first transmission line body 21. The top of the positioning bracket 212 is provided with an assembly hole that passes through from top to bottom. The first transmission line body 21 is also provided with a lifting module, and the lifting module is located directly below the assembly hole. The lifting module is used to push the carrier on the first transmission line body 21, so that the carrier is detached from the first transmission line body 21 and gradually approaches the top of the positioning bracket 212.

[0139] When the lifting module lifts the carrier transmitted on the first transmission line 21 to abut against the top of the positioning bracket 212, the installation position on the carrier corresponds to the assembly hole position of the positioning bracket 212, so that the assembly component 23 can pass through the assembly hole to place the antenna body on the carrier.

[0140] The detection assembly 22 includes an upper detection portion 221 and a lower detection portion 224. The lower detection portion 224 is disposed close to the positioning bracket 212. The upper detection portion 221 is located above the positioning bracket 212. The upper detection portion 221 detects the carrier through the assembly hole. The upper detection portion 221 and the lower detection portion 224 include a visual detector and a driver for adjusting the focal length.

[0141] It should be pointed out that, since the assembly component 23 passes through the assembly hole to place the antenna body on the carrier, and the upper detection part 221 detects the carrier through the assembly hole, the assembly component 23 and the upper detection part 221 are prone to interference during the working process, and the assembly component 23 and the upper detection part 221 are prone to collision, resulting in failure of the processing process, and even worse, causing damage to the assembly component 23 and the upper detection part 221;

[0142] In order to avoid the above-mentioned problems, when it is necessary to detect the position of the carrier, the upper detection part 221 is driven by a linear driver 223 so that the upper detection part 221 moves to directly above the positioning bracket 212. After the detection, the upper detection part 221 moves away from the positioning bracket 212 to make way for the assembly component 23, thereby ensuring the normal use of the assembly device.

[0143] The detection assembly 22 further includes a gantry 222, which is arranged close to the positioning bracket 212; the linear drive 223 is installed on the gantry 222, and the upper detection part 221 is installed on the power output end of the linear drive 223; the upper detection part 221 is driven to reciprocate along a straight line direction by the linear drive 223, and the upper detection part 221 can be moved to the top of the assembly hole;

[0144] The gantry 222 is located at one side of the first transmission line 21, and the driving direction of the linear driver 223 is parallel to the transmission direction of the first transmission line 21, so that the upper detection part 221 moves along the transmission direction of the first transmission line 21;

[0145] The upper detection unit 221 and the lower detection unit 224 detect the carrier and the antenna body grabbed on the assembly component 23 respectively, wherein, specifically, after the antenna body is grabbed by the assembly component 23, it passes over the lower detection unit 224, so that the lower detection unit 224 detects the antenna body on the assembly component 23, thereby ensuring the position of the antenna body. At the same time, the upper detection unit 221 locates the position of the carrier, so that the assembly accuracy is improved;

[0146] Furthermore, after the assembly is completed, the upper detection unit 221 is driven by the linear driver 223 to move to the assembly station to detect the position of the antenna body on the carrier to detect the assembly quality, so that the antenna body processed by the assembly device has higher accuracy.

[0147] The assembly device further includes a film tearing assembly 24. The antenna body is covered with a film. The film tearing assembly 24 clamps the film and peels the film off the antenna body when the assembly assembly 23 moves away from the film tearing assembly 24. The film tearing assembly 24 is located on the moving path of the assembly assembly 23 for grabbing the antenna body.

[0148] The antenna body grasped by the assembly component 23 moves to the position of the film tearing component 24, and the film tearing component 24 clamps the film. As the assembly component 23 drives the antenna body away from the film tearing component 24, the film is peeled off from the antenna body.

[0149] In a preferred embodiment, the film tearing component 24 and the detection component 22 are arranged on the corresponding sides of the first transmission line body 21, and the assembly component 23 is located on the same side of the first transmission line body 21 where the film tearing component 24 is arranged, so as to avoid the assembly component 23 from interfering with the upper detection part and / or the gantry 222 during movement. At the same time, the assembly device is arranged on both sides of the first transmission line body 21 to reasonably utilize the space, making the assembly device more compact.

[0150] In a preferred embodiment, the assembly component 23 includes a mechanical arm and a suction nozzle installed on a power output end of the mechanical arm. The suction nozzle is driven to move by the mechanical arm, and the suction nozzle is used to adsorb the antenna body.

[0151] The first transmission line 21 includes two transmission parts 211 arranged opposite to each other. A transmission belt for receiving a carrier is arranged on the transmission part 211. The transmission belt can drive the carrier placed thereon to move along with the movement of the transmission belt.

[0152] A stopper 213 is provided between the two transmission parts 211 , and the stopper 213 is correspondingly provided at the assembly station and the pressure holding station. The stopper 213 limits the carrier moving on the transmission part 211 , so that the carrier is limited at the assembly station or the pressure holding station.

[0153] The number of the pressure-maintaining components 25 is not less than two, and the two pressure-maintaining components 25 are arranged on the first transmission line body 21 in sequence along the transmission direction of the first transmission line body 21 .

[0154] During the process of using the assembly device, the time consumed by the assembly component 23 grabbing the antenna body, tearing off the film and loading it into the carrier is less than the time required for the pressure-maintaining component 25 to maintain the pressure of the antenna body on the carrier. If the pressure-maintaining component 25 does not complete the pressure maintenance, the carrier equipped with the antenna body processed by the assembly component 23 will be accumulated on the first transmission line body 21 between the positioning bracket 212 and the pressure-maintaining component 25, and the number of accumulated carriers will gradually increase. In order to avoid a large amount of accumulation, two pressure-maintaining components 25 are arranged to maintain the pressure of two carriers, so that a carrier processed by the assembly component 23 corresponds to two pressure-maintaining components 25, and the layout is optimized to make the pressure maintenance compatible with the assembly process, thereby improving production efficiency and achieving a higher production ratio.

[0155] In a preferred embodiment, the pressure-maintaining assembly 25 comprises: a connecting seat 252, a top end of which is provided with a limiting surface 2521 for receiving the antenna body; and

[0156] A pressing portion 251, which is located above the limiting surface 2521;

[0157] Correspondingly, the pressing part 251 includes a pressing head module 2511 and at least two sets of counterweight modules 2513, and the counterweight module 2513 presses down on the top of the pressing head module 2511, so that the pressing head module 2511 presses down on the antenna body, thereby driving the antenna body to adjust from a tilted state to a balanced state;

[0158] In a preferred embodiment, the number of the counterweight modules 2513 is two; the pressure head module 2511 is installed at the bottom of the two counterweight modules 2513 at the same time;

[0159] The pressure head module 2511 includes a base plate 25111 and a pressure retaining block 25112 extending outward from one side of the base plate 25111. The counterweight module 2513 is pressed down on the other side of the base plate 25111. The base plate 25111 supports two counterweight modules 2513.

[0160] Specifically, the pressure maintaining block 25112 is pressed onto the circumferential area of ​​the antenna body, and the center of gravity of each group of the counterweight modules 2513 is located outside the pressure maintaining block 25112 .

[0161] During the assembly of the antenna body, due to the shape of the antenna body itself, the assembly position is not in an ideal position, and a pressing mechanism is required to press and adjust the position of the workpiece, and at the same time, the workpiece connection is made more stable by maintaining pressure. When assembling the antenna body, the antenna body can be in an inclined state or a balanced state. The inclined state means that the antenna body is inclined relative to the pressing surface of the pressing head module 2511, so that the contact area between the antenna body and the pressing head module 2511 is small, and the balanced state means that the horizontality of the antenna body is consistent with the pressing surface of the pressing head module 2511. When the antenna body is in a balanced state, the assembly device maintains pressure on the antenna body. When the antenna body is in a tilted state, the counterweight module 2513 presses down the pressing head module 2511 so that the pressing head module 2511 is pressed down at the tilted apex of the antenna body, thereby driving the antenna body to deflect to a balanced state. When the antenna body is in a balanced state, each group of the counterweight modules 2513 acts on the corresponding area of ​​the pressing head module 2511 pressing the antenna body.

[0162] The specific pressure maintaining principle includes: when the workpiece is in an inclined state, the top position of the inclined workpiece is the position that conflicts with the pressure head module 2511, and at this time, since the two counterweight modules 2513 are pressed down on the pressure head module 2511, at this time, the gravity exerted on the position where the antenna body conflicts with the pressure head module 2511 is the sum of the gravity of the two counterweight modules 2513, and the support force of the position where the antenna body conflicts with the pressure head module 2511 on the pressure head module 2511 is consistent with the sum of the gravity of the two counterweight modules 2513. Therefore, when the antenna body is in an inclined state, the pressure head module 2511 exerts a greater force on the workpiece at the conflicting position, so that the antenna body can be deflected to a balanced state under the drive of this force.

[0163] When the antenna body is in a balanced state, since the center of gravity of each group of the counterweight modules 2513 is located outside the pressure-maintaining block 25112, the gravity of each group of the counterweight modules 2513 corresponds to the supporting force of the contact part between the adjacent pressure-maintaining blocks 25112 and the antenna body, so that the two counterweight modules 2513 respectively apply forces to the two parts of the pressure-maintaining block 25112, and the gravity acting on the pressure-maintaining block 25112 is the gravity of a single counterweight module 2513. Compared with the force in the inclined state, the force on the pressure-maintaining block 25112 in the balanced state is smaller; therefore, when the antenna body is in different states, the gravity of the counterweight module 2513 acting on the antenna body is different, thereby satisfying the different pressures required in adjusting the position of the antenna body or in the pressure-maintaining process.

[0164] The pressure maintaining block 25112 is provided with a hollow cavity 25113 to form a pressed structure of an annular protrusion of the pressure maintaining block 25112, so that the pressure maintaining block 25112 is pressed on the circumferential area of ​​the antenna body.

[0165] The pressure maintaining block 25112 is provided with a recessed space, and the empty hole is used to make room for the antenna body. The antenna body is also provided with vulnerable parts, which are easily damaged by pressing. A space is formed at the position of the vulnerable parts on the antenna body corresponding to the position of the vulnerable parts, thereby avoiding damage to the vulnerable parts by pressing.

[0166] Specifically, the vacant spaces include a first vacant space 25114 and a second vacant space 25115 , and the pressure maintaining block 25112 is in a rectangular structure. The first vacant space 25114 and the second vacant space 25115 are respectively arranged at two adjacent diagonals of the pressure maintaining block 25112 .

[0167] The pressing part 251 includes a guide module 2516 , which presses the pressing head module 2511 onto the antenna body under the action of a driving force, and allows the counterweight module 2513 to slide in a vertical direction under the restriction of the guide module 2516 .

[0168] The pressing part 251 also includes a pressing driver 2514 and a driving plate 2512 installed on the power output end of the pressing driver 2514. The pressing driver 2514 is installed on the limiting surface 2521. The pressing driver 2514 is used to provide a driving force for pressing the pressing head module 2511 on the antenna body.

[0169] The counterweight module 2513 is slidably connected to the driving plate 2512 through the guide module 2516, and the pressing driver 2514 drives the driving plate 2512 to move in a direction parallel to the sliding direction of the driving plate 2512; the pressing driver 2514 drives the driving plate 2512 to drive the pressure head module 2511 to move downward until the pressure head module 2511 contacts the antenna body, and when the pressing driver 2514 continues to drive the driving plate 2512 to move downward, the pressure head module 2511 slides upward relative to the driving plate 2512, so that the gravity of the counterweight module 2513 presses down on the antenna body.

[0170] The assembly device further includes a lifting portion 253, which is mounted on the connection seat 252 so as to be located below the limiting surface 2521; in a preferred embodiment, the connection seat 252 is C-shaped, the limiting surface 2521 forms the top structure of the connection seat 252, and the lifting portion 253 is located in the hollow cavity of the connection seat 252;

[0171] The lifting portion 253 provides a driving force to drive the antenna body to move. The antenna body moves upward so that the antenna body contacts the pressure head module 2511 and continues to push the pressure head module 2511 upward until the gravity of the counterweight module 2513 presses down on the antenna body.

[0172] A through hole 2522 is provided on the limiting surface 2521, and the lifting portion 253 includes a lifting driver 2531 and a lifting plate 2532 installed on the lifting driver 2531, and the lifting plate 2532 is used to support the antenna body. Driven by the lifting driver 2531, the lifting plate 2532 drives the antenna body to be lifted until it is in contact with the lower surface of the lifting plate 2532, and the pressing head module 2511 passes through the through hole 2522 and is pressed onto the antenna body.

[0173] In this preferred embodiment, the assembly device is provided with the lifting part 253 and the pressing driver 2514 at the same time, and the pressing part 251 also includes a support 2515 for receiving the components of the pressing part 251, and the support 2515 is installed on the upper surface of the limiting surface 2521, and the pressing driver 2514 is installed on the support 2515, and the driving plate 2512 is connected to the support 2515 through the guide module 2516, so that the driving plate 2512 slides on the support 2515.

[0174] The lifting portion 253 is arranged below the limiting surface 2521, and a positioning column 2523 for limiting the position of the antenna body is installed on the lower surface of the limiting surface 2521. The lifting portion 253 pushes the carrier so that the carrier is mounted on the positioning column 2523, thereby positioning the carrier and improving the assembly accuracy.

[0175] The counterweight module 2513 includes a mounting seat 25131 and a counterweight block 25132 supported on the mounting seat 25131. The counterweight module 2513 is arranged circumferentially around the center line of the pressure head module 2511. In the preferred embodiment, the two counterweight modules 2513 are symmetrically arranged about the center line of the pressure head module 2511.

[0176] The mounting seat 25131 is L-shaped, and the counterweight block 25132 is placed at the corner of the mounting seat 25131. The pressure head module 2511 is installed at the bottom of the mounting seat 25131. A counterweight column 35133 for limiting the counterweight block 25132 is installed on the mounting seat 25131. The counterweight block 25132 is sleeved on the counterweight column 35133. The stacked counterweight blocks 25132 provide gravity for the pressure head module 2511 to press the antenna body.

[0183] The re-inspection assembly 32 and the material discharging assembly 33 are driven respectively by the two driving components 312 so that the re-inspection assembly 32 and the material discharging assembly 33 move between the two transmission assemblies.

[0184] The re-inspection component 32 and the blanking component 35 are supported by the same supporting bracket 311, so that the re-inspection component 32 and the blanking component 35 share a bracket, thereby reducing the use of supporting structures, optimizing the structural layout of the blanking mechanism 3, and making the blanking mechanism 3 more compact.
