Compared with a five-pin socket, a three-pin socket omits two sockets, corresponding sockets and a two-pin protection door, and the rest of the structure is similar to that of a five-pin socket.

[0003] Since the base 3' and the mounting frame 2' are split structures, a workstation needs to be designed during the production process to assemble the base 3' and the mounting frame 2', that is, to close the cover. After the base 3' and the mounting frame 2' are assembled, the panel 1' is installed.

[0004] At present, there are two main ways to assemble the base 3' and the mounting frame 2' into a box cover:

[0040] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0041] In this article, the terms "up, down, left, right" and the like are established based on the positional relationships shown in the drawings. Depending on the different drawings, the corresponding positional relationships may also change accordingly. In the part of the specification that has a definition of direction, the directions defined by the text are given priority. Therefore, they cannot be understood as an absolute limitation on the scope of protection; moreover, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are merely used to distinguish one component from another with the same name, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these components.

[0042] like Figure 1As shown, in a specific embodiment, the socket assembly equipment provided by the present invention is mainly composed of a human-machine operation interface 1, a mounting frame receiving and flipping mechanism 2, a mounting frame conveying mechanism 3, a base conveying mechanism 4, a pressing mechanism 5, an insertion and extraction force detection mechanism 6, a continuity detection mechanism 7, a single-pole detection mechanism 8, a protective door rebound detection mechanism 9, and a defective product detection mechanism 10. The human-machine operation interface 1 is electrically connected to other components to realize functions such as inputting control parameters, displaying various production information, and performing data processing.

[0043] The mounting frame receiving and turning mechanism 2 is used to receive the mounting frame assembly 11 (see Figure 6 ), and flip the mounting frame assembly 11 from the front-down state to the front-up state, the mounting frame is provided with a structure for limiting the protection door, for example, a convex point can be set on the mounting bracket, and the convex point corresponds to the groove on the protection door, so that the protection door can be stuck, so that under the support of the protection door spring, it can be ensured that the protection door will not fall after the mounting frame assembly 11 is flipped.

[0044] The mounting frame conveying mechanism 3 is in the form of a double-track belt conveyor, which is connected to the mounting frame receiving and flipping mechanism 2, and is used to transport the flipped mounting frame assembly 11 to the downstream station. After flipping, the mounting frame assembly 11 faces up with its front side facing up and its back side facing down, and its middle part is suspended in the air. The edges on both sides are supported by belts respectively, and the middle area of ​​its back side can be exposed downwards so as to be connected with the base assembly 12 (see Figure 7 ) for press fitting.

[0045] The base conveying mechanism 4 is also in the form of a belt conveyor, and is arranged side by side with the mounting frame conveying mechanism 2, and is used to convey the base assembly 12 to be assembled to the downstream station, and its conveying direction is parallel to the mounting frame conveying mechanism 2. After the base assembly 12 and the mounting frame assembly 11 are covered, they are continuously conveyed to the downstream station by the mounting frame conveying mechanism 3, so the length of the base conveying mechanism 4 is relatively short, and only extends to the position where the press-fitting mechanism 5 is located.

[0046] The pressing mechanism 5 is mainly divided into two parts, the upper and lower parts. The mounting frame positioning mechanism 51 is located above the mounting frame conveying mechanism 3, and the base alignment pressing mechanism 52 is located below the mounting frame conveying mechanism 3. Among them, the mounting frame positioning mechanism 51 is used to press the mounting frame assembly 11 downward from the front of the mounting frame, and the base alignment pressing mechanism 52 is used to arrange the base assemblies 12 at equal intervals, move the base assemblies 12 to the bottom of the mounting frame assembly 11, and press the base assembly 12 and the mounting frame assembly 11 together through the vertical upward pressing action to complete the cover. The structure after the two are covered is shown in FIG. Figure 8 , Fig. 9 .

[0047] like Figure 3As shown in the figure, the mounting bracket receiving and flipping mechanism 2 mainly consists of a first turntable 21, a second turntable 22, a flipping bracket 23, a flipping motor 24, etc.

[0048] The first turntable 21 and the second turntable 22 are rotatably mounted on the flipping bracket 23 through a rotating shaft. The flipping motor 24 is传动连接 with the first turntable 21 and the second turntable 22 to drive the first turntable 21 and the second turntable 22 to rotate around the rotating shaft. A plurality of mounting bracket slots 25 are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction of the first turntable 21 and the second turntable 22. The mounting bracket slots 25 extend radially from the outer edges of the first turntable 21 and the second turntable 22. The mounting bracket slots 25 of the first turntable 21 and the second turntable 22 are in one-to-one correspondence in the left-right direction, and the distance between the first turntable 21 and the second turntable 22 is less than the width of the mounting bracket assembly 11.

[0049] Limiters 26 are respectively arranged on the outer sides of the mounting bracket slots 25. Each limiter 26 is in a "Ji" shape and has a limiting groove with an opening facing the mounting bracket slot 25. The edge of the mounting bracket assembly 11 exceeding the mounting bracket slot 25 cooperates with the limiting groove of the limiter 26, so that the limiter 26 restricts the freedom of the mounting bracket assembly 11 to move in the axial direction in the mounting bracket slot 25.

[0050] An upstream of the mounting bracket receiving and flipping mechanism 2 can be provided with a conveyor belt for conveying the mounting bracket assembly 11. The mounting bracket receiving and flipping mechanism 2 rotates at a certain rhythm. Each time it rotates, a group of mounting bracket slots 25 on it are in a horizontal state, and the slot openings are facing the end of the conveyor belt for conveying the mounting bracket assembly 11. In this way, when the conveyor belt drives the mounting bracket assembly 11 to run to the position where the mounting bracket receiving and flipping mechanism 2 is located, under the thrust of the conveyor belt, the mounting bracket assembly 11 can automatically be inserted into the mounting bracket slot 25. After the mounting bracket assembly 11 is flipped 180°, the mounting bracket assembly 11 is placed on the mounting bracket conveying mechanism 3 by chance. The belt of the mounting bracket conveying mechanism 3 relies on friction to make the mounting bracket assembly 11脱离 the mounting bracket slot 25, and then continue to be conveyed to the downstream station.

[0051] In addition, a first detection sensor 27, a second detection sensor 28, and a third detection sensor 29 are also installed on one side of the flipping bracket. Detection holes 261 corresponding to the first detection sensor 27, the second detection sensor 28, and the third detection sensor 29 are provided on the limiter 26. The first detection sensor 27 can be used to detect whether the mounting bracket assembly 11 has entered the mounting bracket slot 25. The second detection sensor 28 can be used to count the mounting bracket assembly 11. The third detection sensor 29 can be used to detect whether the mounting bracket assembly 11 has脱离 the mounting bracket slot 25.

[0052] It should be noted that the term "传动连接" in the original text is not accurately translated as there is no clear equivalent in the provided context. It might need to be adjusted according to the actual mechanical connection relationship. Also, the term "脱离" in the original text is not accurately translated as there is no clear equivalent in the provided context. It might need to be adjusted according to the actual situation.The disc-shaped flipping mechanism can continuously flip the mounting frame assembly 11 through the mounting frame slot 25. Compared with a mechanism that can only flip one mounting frame assembly at a time, the movement angle is reduced, and more mounting frame assemblies 11 can be transported to the assembly line for assembly per minute, which not only improves production efficiency but also reduces the risk of the mounting frame assembly 11 falling due to shaking.

[0053] like Figure 4 As shown, the mounting frame positioning mechanism 51 is mainly composed of a positioning bracket 511 and a positioning cylinder 512 installed on the positioning bracket. The downward telescopic end of the positioning cylinder 512 is provided with a positioning block 513 and a positioning frame 514, wherein the positioning block 513 is used to support the middle area of ​​the front side of the mounting frame, but does not press the mounting frame assembly 11 downward to avoid damage to the mounting frame assembly 11 due to the upper and lower pressing forces acting on the same area during press installation. The positioning frame 514 is in an inverted "U" shape, which is used to press the front and rear edges of the mounting frame assembly 11 in the conveying direction downward to avoid the mounting frame assembly 11 from warping on both sides and causing the cover to not be properly closed.

[0054] The base alignment and pressing mechanism 52 is mainly composed of a transverse moving mechanism 521, a vertical moving mechanism 522 and a base equally spaced arrangement mechanism 523. The vertical moving mechanism 522 is three lifting cylinders arranged in parallel. The base equally spaced arrangement mechanism 523 is installed on the top of the vertical moving mechanism 522. The vertical moving mechanism 522 is installed together with the base equally spaced arrangement mechanism 523 on the transverse moving mechanism 512. The transverse moving mechanism 521 is provided with a transverse slide rail and a driving component, which can drive the vertical moving mechanism 522 and the base equally spaced arrangement mechanism 523 to move in the transverse direction together.

[0055] The base equally spaced arrangement mechanism 523 is mainly composed of a slide rail 5231, a plurality of base bearing parts 5232, a lead screw 5233 and an arrangement motor 5234. The length direction of the slide rail 5231 is parallel to the conveying direction of the mounting frame conveying mechanism 3. Each base bearing part 5232 is respectively installed on the slide rail 5231 through a slider and can slide on the slide rail 5231. A connecting rod 5235 is hinged at the bottom of each base bearing part 5232. The two ends of the connecting rod 5235 are respectively hinged to the connecting rod 5235 of the adjacent base bearing part 5232, thus forming a linkage mechanism. The base bearing part 5232 at the rear end is connected to the lead screw 5233 through a nut, and the lead screw 5233 is driven by the arrangement motor 5234.

[0056] During operation, after the mounting frame assembly 11 and the base assembly 12 are manually assembled, they are respectively conveyed to the position of the pressing mechanism 5 through the mounting frame conveying mechanism 3 and the base conveying mechanism 4. During this process, a blocking cylinder can be set to ensure that four products are pressed in a group at a time. After the four mounting frame assemblies 11 are in place, they are pressed by the four mounting frame positioning mechanisms 51. After the four base assemblies 12 are conveyed to the four side-by-side base bearing parts 5232, the lateral moving mechanism 521 starts to move. During the lateral movement, the arrangement motor 5234 drives the lead screw 5233 to rotate, and the base assemblies 12 are pulled apart from each other to a set distance through the connecting rod 5235. After moving into place, they correspond one by one to the mounting frame assemblies 11 up and down. Then, the vertical moving mechanism 522 starts to move to lift the base assembly 12 upward, thereby completing the pressing of the base assembly 12 and the mounting frame assembly 11.

[0057] In order to detect the base assembly 12 and the mounting frame assembly 11 after the cover is closed, an insertion force detection mechanism 6, an on-off detection mechanism 7, a single-pole detection mechanism 8 and a protective door rebound detection mechanism 9 are provided in sequence downstream of the press-fitting mechanism 5. Each detection mechanism is described below in turn.

[0058] like Figure 5 As shown, the mounting frame conveying mechanism 3 extends all the way downstream, and the plugging and pulling force detection mechanism 6 and the on-off detection mechanism 7 are arranged in an upper and lower relative manner. The plugging and pulling force detection mechanism 6 is located above the mounting frame conveying mechanism 3, and the on-off detection mechanism 7 is located below the mounting frame conveying mechanism 3.

[0059] The plugging and unplugging force detection mechanism 6 is mainly composed of a plugging and unplugging detection bracket 61, a plugging and unplugging detection cylinder 62 arranged on the plugging and unplugging detection bracket, and a plugging and unplugging detection sliding body 63. The plugging and unplugging detection sliding body 63 is installed on the plugging and unplugging detection bracket 61 through a vertical slide rail. A plugging and unplugging force detection pin 64 is provided at the bottom of the plugging and unplugging detection sliding body 63. The plugging and unplugging force detection pin 64 has the freedom to move up and down relative to the plugging and unplugging detection sliding body 63. A plugging and unplugging force sensor 65 is provided on the force transmission path between the plugging and unplugging force detection pin 64 and the plugging and unplugging detection cylinder 62.

[0060] This embodiment is provided with two plugging and unplugging force detection mechanisms 6, each of which is provided with two plugging and unplugging force sensors 65, corresponding to the two-plug socket and the three-plug socket respectively, and the measuring range of each plugging and unplugging force sensor 65 is 0-50N. When the plugging and unplugging detection cylinder 62 drives the plugging and unplugging detection sliding body 63 and the plugging and unplugging force detection pin 64 to move up and down, the plugging and unplugging force of the two-plug socket and the three-plug socket is detected by the two plugging and unplugging force sensors 65 respectively, and the plugging and unplugging force includes the force required for the plugging and unplugging force detection pin 64 to push open the protective door and insert and withdraw the socket, so as to detect products with too large or too small plugging and unplugging force.

[0061] The on-off detection mechanism 7 is mainly composed of an on-off detection bracket 71, an on-off detection cylinder 72 arranged on the on-off detection bracket, and an on-off detection pin 73. Two groups of on-off detection pins 73 are installed together at the upward telescopic end of the on-off detection cylinder 72. When detecting, the on-off detection pin 73 contacts the incoming material and is energized. The on-off detection is tested by a multimeter. Since some screws in the socket are locked together with the copper component of the socket, if no on-off is detected, it can be judged that the worker may have missed installing the entire component or the copper component is deformed. The on-off detection pin 73 can be adjusted up and down and left and right to facilitate alignment during debugging.

[0062] The monopole detection mechanism 8 is used to detect whether the protection door is effective against monopole insertion to avoid accidental contact accidents during use. In this embodiment, a total of four monopole detection mechanisms 8 are provided, with two in each group. Each monopole detection mechanism 8 is composed of a monopole detection bracket 81, a monopole detection cylinder 82 arranged on the monopole detection bracket, and a monopole detection counterweight 83. The monopole detection counterweight 83 is installed on the monopole detection bracket 81 through a slider and a vertical slide rail. The monopole detection cylinder 82 is connected to the monopole detection counterweight 83 to lift the monopole detection counterweight 83 upward. A monopole detection pin 84 is provided at the bottom of the monopole detection counterweight 83. The monopole detection pins of each group of monopole detection mechanisms 8 are arranged on a side that is biased towards each other, so that after detecting one pole, the other pole can be detected by moving a small distance horizontally.

[0063] When the third incoming material is detected, the blocking cylinder is lifted and limited, and the lifting cylinder assembly lifts the product to prevent the single-pole detection pin 84 from damaging the product, and the single-pole detection counterweight 83 and the single-pole detection pin 84 and the weight of the slider are used to press one pole of the product.

[0064] During the test, the monopole detection cylinder 82 retracts to its original position, and the monopole detection pin 84 is pressed down by gravity. If a certain protection door does not exist, the monopole detection pin 84 can be pressed down, which can be detected by the sensor. The test is completed, and the monopole detection cylinder 82 lifts the monopole detection counterweight 83 and the monopole detection pin 84 upwards. After testing one pole, the lateral movement cylinder is moved horizontally by about 10 mm to test the other pole.

[0065] The protective door rebound detection mechanism 9 is mainly composed of a protective door rebound detection bracket 91, a protective door rebound detection cylinder 92 arranged on the protective door rebound detection bracket, and a protective door rebound detection sliding body 93. The protective door rebound detection sliding body 93 is installed on the protective door rebound detection bracket 91 through a slider and a vertical slide rail. The protective door rebound detection cylinder 92 is connected to the protective door rebound detection sliding body 93 to drive the protective door rebound detection sliding body 93 to move up and down. A protective door rebound detection pin 94 is provided at the bottom of the protective door rebound detection sliding body 93.

[0066] This station is used to detect whether the protective door inside the socket rebounds effectively. Since the aforementioned detection mechanisms require the pin to be "inserted" or "prepared to be inserted" into the product, the protective door will be "opened" or "displaced to a certain extent". After completing the previous tests, the protective door should be restored to its place.

[0067] There are four protection door rebound detection pins 94, corresponding to the two-pin and three-pin sockets of the socket itself. They are pushed down and pulled up by the protection door rebound detection cylinder 92. When the protection door rebound detection pin 94 is pushed downward, if the protection door is restored to its place, the protection door rebound detection pin 94 will hit the protection door with resistance, then it is determined that the protection door is restored to its place. If the protection door is not restored to its place, the protection door rebound detection pin 94 will touch the metal and trigger an alarm, and it will be judged as a defective product.

[0068] like Figure 2 As shown, at the tail end of the mounting frame conveying mechanism 3, a defective product picking mechanism 10 is provided, which is mainly composed of a lateral translation mechanism 101 and a vacuum suction cup 102 arranged on the lateral translation mechanism, and the vacuum suction cup 102 is used to absorb defective assembled products.

[0069] If the insertion and extraction force detection mechanism 6, the on-off detection mechanism 7, the single-pole detection mechanism 8 and the protective door rebound detection mechanism 9 detect defective products, then when the defective products flow to the detection station, the vacuum suction cup 102 sucks up the defective products and then moves horizontally to the defective product slot. When the suction cup is released, the defective products fall into the slot for unified management. Qualified products continue to flow to the next station for manual assembly of the panel.

[0070] The above embodiments are only preferred solutions of the present invention, and are not limited thereto. On this basis, targeted adjustments can be made according to actual needs to obtain different implementation methods. For example, a guide component is designed on each set of limit members 26 of the flip mechanism to form a "V"-shaped opening to facilitate the installation frame assembly 11 to enter the installation frame slot 25, etc. Since there are many possible implementation methods, they will not be described one by one here.

[0071] The socket assembly equipment can automatically cover the base component 12 and the mounting frame component 11 in the form of an assembly line operation, thereby significantly improving the assembly quality and efficiency of the sockets and achieving the purpose of efficient and mass production of sockets. It can be used to produce both three-pin sockets and five-pin sockets. Moreover, since the pressing mechanism can adjust the displacement in the horizontal and vertical directions, it can be universally used for split socket structures with different base sizes.

[0072] The socket assembly device provided by the present invention is introduced in detail above. Specific examples are used in this article to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present invention. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the core idea of ​​the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, without departing from the principle of the present invention, several improvements and modifications can be made to the present invention, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
