[0054] The present application will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely intended for the purpose of interpretation of the present application and are not limiting of the present application. In addition, it should be noted that, for the purpose of description, only the parts related to the present application are shown in the drawings rather than all the structures.

In addition, the terms "first", "second" are only used to distinguish in the description, and have no special meaning.

[0058] For such workpieces as automobile instrument supports, the structure is relatively complex, there are many curved surfaces, and sometimes the position of the inserted part is not on one plane, so it is necessary to adjust the angle of the part relative to the part insertion equipment, so that the position of the workpiece which needs to be inserted into the part is aligned with the part insertion equipment.

[0059] Therefore, as Figure 1As shown, the embodiment provides a part assembling device, which comprises a rotating carrier mechanism 1, a part inserting mechanism 2 and a feeding mechanism 3. The rotating carrier mechanism 1 comprises a carrier 12, on which a workpiece 100 to be assembled is placed, and the carrier 12 is rotatable to adjust the placement angle of the workpiece 100. The part inserting mechanism 2 comprises a plug assembly 21 for pressing a part into the workpiece 100, and the plug assembly 21 is movable relative to the carrier 12 to insert the part at different positions of the workpiece 100. The feeding mechanism 3 is configured to deliver the part to the plug assembly 21. By adjusting the angle of the workpiece 100 through the rotatable carrier 12, the workpiece 100 is flipped to make different surfaces of the workpiece 100 face the plug assembly 21, so that the part is inserted at positions on different planes of the workpiece 100, without the need to transfer the part, which is efficient and convenient. Moreover, the feeding mechanism 3 is configured to deliver the part to the plug assembly 21, which realizes the automation of part assembling and improves the work efficiency.

[0060] Preferably, a plurality of plug assemblies 21 can be provided to realize the insertion and assembly of parts of different shapes and structures, and the feeding mechanism 3 is correspondingly provided with a plurality of groups, each group of the feeding mechanism 3 delivering parts to one group of the plug assemblies 21. In the embodiment, the feeding mechanism 3 and the plug assembly 21 are each provided with two groups, which can perform insertion operations on parts of two structural forms. In actual situations, the number of the feeding mechanism 3 and the plug assembly 21 can be set according to the types of parts to be inserted, and the number is not limited herein.

[0061] Preferably, when the assembled part needs to be inserted into the workpiece 100 through a hot insertion process, a heating element can be provided at the plug assembly 21 to heat the part. The heating element can be a heating rod or a heating pad, and the form of the heating element is not limited as long as it can heat the part.

[0062] The rotating carrier mechanism 1, the part inserting mechanism 2 and the feeding mechanism 3 will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0063] First, the rotating carrier mechanism 1 will be described in combination with Figures 2-5 The structure and working principle of the rotating carrier mechanism 1 will be described.

[0064] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the rotating carrier mechanism 1 is used to support and fix the workpiece 100 to facilitate the insertion of screws, bushings and other parts on the workpiece 100. The rotating carrier mechanism 1 comprises a base 19 arranged in the XY plane, a mounting frame 11 arranged on the base 19, and a carrier 12 rotatably connected to the mounting frame 11 at both ends in the X direction, so that the carrier 12 can rotate in the YZ plane. The carrier 12 is provided with a locking member 121 and a profiling positioning member 122, the profiling positioning member 122 is configured to position the workpiece 100 carried on the carrier 12, and the locking member 121 can press the workpiece 100 against the carrier 12. As shown in the figure, Figure 4 As shown, the rotating carrier mechanism 1 further comprises a driving member 14 arranged on the mounting frame 11 for driving the carrier 12 to rotate relative to the mounting frame 11. The driving member 14 is specifically a rotary drive cylinder, the fixed end of the rotary drive cylinder is arranged on the mounting frame 11, and the driving end of the rotary drive cylinder is connected to the carrier 12. The rotary drive cylinder operates to drive the carrier 12 to rotate.

[0065] By arranging the driving member 14 to drive the carrier 12 to rotate relative to the mounting frame 11 in the YZ plane, the placement angle of the workpiece 100 can be adjusted. In the case of inserting parts in the Z direction by the part insertion mechanism 2, the workpiece 100 on the carrier 12 will rotate with the carrier 12 to align different planes with the part insertion mechanism 2, thereby realizing the insertion of parts on different surfaces of the workpiece 100, which is extremely convenient to operate. Moreover, the carrier 12 is further provided with the locking member 121 and the profiling positioning member 122 for positioning and locking the workpiece 100, which is beneficial to prevent the workpiece 100 from deviating during the rotation of the carrier 12, and ensures that the part insertion mechanism 2 can be accurately aligned with the part insertion position on the workpiece 100.

[0066] Specifically, as shown in the figure, Figure 4 As shown, the mounting frame 11 comprises a horizontal plate 111 and two vertical plates 112 arranged perpendicularly on the horizontal plate 111. The bottom side of the carrier 12 is provided with a connecting plate 123, the connecting plate 123 is provided with a rotating shaft 13 arranged therethrough and fixedly connected with the rotating shaft 13. The two ends of the rotating shaft 13 are rotatably connected to the two vertical plates 112, respectively. Preferably, a bearing is arranged between the rotating shaft 13 and the vertical plate 112 to make the rotating shaft 13 rotate more smoothly. By arranging the connecting plate 123 on the bottom side of the carrier 12, a certain distance can be formed between the carrier 12 and the top end surface of the vertical plate 112, so that the carrier 12 can rotate smoothly without interfering with the vertical plate 112.

[0067] Preferably, as shown in the figure, Figure 4 As shown, the rotating carrier mechanism 1 further comprises a limiting device 15 configured to limit the rotation angle of the carrier 12. Specifically, as shown in the figure, Figure 4As shown, the two ends of the carrier 12 extend out of the vertical plate 112, and the two ends of the carrier 12 are provided with a limiting plate 124. The limiting block 15 is provided outside the vertical plate 112, and is arranged on at least one side of the limiting plate 124 to form a blocking limiting for the limiting plate 124. When the limiting plate 124 touches the limiting block during the rotation of the carrier 12, the rotation of the carrier 12 is stopped, thereby limiting the angle range of the rotation of the carrier 12 and preventing the carrier 12 from rotating excessively. In the embodiment, the limiting block is arranged on only one side of the limiting plate 124. It can be understood that, as shown in the figure, Figure 5 The rotating carrier mechanism 1 can also be provided with a limiting block on the other side of the limiting plate 124 according to needs, and the specific arrangement can be determined according to the required rotation direction and rotation range of the carrier 12.

[0068] Further, in order to enable the carrier 12 to move in the XY plane to facilitate the feeding and discharging of the workpiece 100, as shown in the figure, Figure 2 The rotating carrier mechanism 1 further comprises a carrier guide rail 17 and a driving cylinder 18. The carrier guide rail 17 is arranged on the bottom side of the mounting frame 11 and is mounted on a base 19. The carrier guide rail 17 extends along the Y direction, and the mounting frame 11 can slide along the carrier guide rail 17. The driving cylinder 18 is arranged on the base 19, and the driving end of the driving cylinder 18 is connected to the mounting frame 11. The driving cylinder 18 can drive the mounting frame 11 to slide along the carrier guide rail 17. By sliding the mounting frame 11 along the carrier guide rail 17, the carrier 12 can be moved to the edge of the base 19, so that the workpiece 100 can be conveniently taken and placed on the carrier 12. Moreover, the rotating shaft 13 of the carrier 12 can be rotated along the X direction, and the carrier 12 can be rotated to the outside of the base 19 when necessary, thereby further improving the convenience of taking and placing the workpiece 100. In the embodiment, the carrier guide rail 17 is provided with two carrier guide rails 17, which are arranged on the two sides of the horizontal plate 111 of the mounting frame 11, thereby providing better support for the mounting frame 11. The driving cylinder 18 is preferably arranged between the two carrier guide rails 17 to provide uniform thrust to the mounting frame 11, so that the mounting frame 11 can stably move along the two carrier guide rails 17.

[0069] For a workpiece 100 with a large size, the carrier 12 can not be able to support the entire workpiece 100, and part of the structure of the workpiece 100 will extend out of the carrier 12. In order to support and fix the part of the workpiece 100 extending out of the carrier 12, as shown in the figure, Figure 4As shown, the rotating carrier mechanism 1 further comprises an auxiliary positioning member 16 arranged on one side of the carrier 12, which can position the part of the workpiece 100 extending out of the carrier 12. The auxiliary positioning member 16 comprises a profiling positioning member 122 and a locking member 121, and the structure and working principle of the profiling positioning member 122 and the locking member 121 are the same as those of the profiling positioning member 122 and the locking member 121 on the carrier 12, which will be described in detail below. The bottom end of the auxiliary positioning member 16 is fixedly arranged on the horizontal plate 111 of the mounting frame 11, and the positioning block 1221 of the auxiliary positioning member 16 cannot rotate with the carrier 12. Therefore, the setting height and position of the auxiliary positioning member 16 need to be determined according to the position at which the carrier 12 is fixedly stopped, and after the carrier 12 is rotated to a certain angle and fixed, the auxiliary positioning member 16 will be able to provide support to the workpiece 100. In the embodiment, two auxiliary positioning members 16 are arranged, but the number of auxiliary positioning members 16 is not limited thereto, and one auxiliary positioning member 16 can also be arranged, as shown in Figure 5 The number and position of the auxiliary positioning member 16 are specifically designed according to the shape and size of the workpiece 100.

[0070] Preferably, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 The profiling positioning member 122 comprises a positioning block 1221 and a jacking cylinder 1222, the fixed end of the jacking cylinder 1222 is arranged on the carrier 12, and the driving end of the jacking cylinder 1222 is connected to the positioning block 1221 to adjust the lifting of the positioning block 1221, so that the height of the positioning block 1221 on the carrier 12 can be adjusted according to the specific shape of the workpiece 100, thereby providing a stable supporting force to the workpiece 100. The shape of the supporting surface of the positioning block 1221 is specifically arranged according to the shape of the workpiece 100 and needs to match the shape of the contact surface of the workpiece 100. In addition, the number of profiling positioning members 122 is not limited herein, and one or more than two profiling positioning members 122 can be arranged, which can provide sufficient supporting force to the workpiece 100. The profiling positioning block 1221 is particularly suitable for workpieces 100 with complex structures that cannot completely match the supporting surface of the carrier 12. It should be noted that the preferred scheme is to arrange the profiling positioning member 122 with a lifting structure, and the profiling positioning member 122 can also be arranged to only comprise the positioning block 1221 without the jacking cylinder 1222, and the positioning block 1221 is fixedly arranged, which can also achieve the support and positioning of the workpiece 100.

[0071] Further, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the locking component 121 includes a pressure block 1211 and a locking cylinder 1212. The fixed end of the locking cylinder 1212 is disposed on the carrier 12, and the driving end of the locking cylinder 1212 is connected to the pressure block 1211. The locking cylinder 1212 can drive the pressure block 1211 to rise, fall, and rotate. The pressure block 1211 is preferably disposed perpendicular to the support surface of the carrier 12 to apply pressure to the workpiece 100 toward the support surface of the carrier 12. The number of locking components 121 is not limited here; one or more can be provided, as long as sufficient pressure is provided to the workpiece 100. The locking component 121 cooperates with the contour positioning component 122 to securely install the workpiece 100 on the carrier 12.

[0072] Below, in conjunction with Figures 6-8 The structure and working principle of the part insertion mechanism 2 are explained.

[0073] like Figure 6 As shown, the part insertion mechanism 2 includes an insertion drive assembly 22 and a plug assembly 21. The plug assembly 21 is connected to the drive end of the insertion drive assembly 22 to drive the plug assembly 21 to move along the X and Z directions. The plug assembly 21 moves along the X direction to move between the loading mechanism 3 and the rotating carrier mechanism 1, thereby enabling it to pick up parts from the loading mechanism 3 and move them to the workpiece 100 on the carrier 12 for part insertion. The plug assembly 21 moves along the Z direction, allowing for precise docking with both the loading mechanism 3 and the workpiece 100 by adjusting its height in the Z direction.

[0074] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the insertion drive assembly 22 includes a gantry bracket 221, an X-axis drive assembly 222, and a Z-axis drive assembly 223. The gantry bracket 221 is mounted on the mounting frame 11 and extends along the X-direction. The fixed end of the X-axis drive assembly 222 is mounted on the gantry bracket 221. The X-axis drive assembly 222 includes an X-axis drive motor, an X-axis drive screw, and an X-axis drive guide rail. The X-axis drive screw is threadedly connected to the fixed end of the Z-axis drive assembly 223. The X-axis drive motor drives the X-axis drive screw to rotate, which in turn drives the Z-axis drive assembly 223 to slide along the X-axis drive guide rail, thereby driving the Z-axis drive assembly 223 to move the plug assembly 21 along the X-direction. The Z-axis drive assembly 223 has the same structure as the X-axis drive assembly. The plug assembly 21 is connected to the drive end of the Z-axis drive assembly 223, so that the operation of the Z-axis drive assembly 223 can drive the plug assembly 21 to move along the Z-direction.

[0075] Furthermore, such as Figure 7 As shown, the plug assembly 21 includes a mounting plate 211, a receiving member 212, a clamping claw 213, and a pressing member 214. The mounting plate 211 is connected to the driving end of the Z-axis drive assembly 223, and the receiving member 212 is connected to the mounting plate 211. Figure 8The receiving groove 2121 is provided with an avoiding hole at the bottom. The two sides of the receiving groove 2121 are provided with avoiding grooves 2122. The clamping jaw 213 extends into the receiving groove 2121 through the avoiding grooves 2122 to clamp or release the part in the receiving groove 2121. Specifically, the clamping jaw 213 is driven to open and close by the clamping jaw cylinder. The pressing piece 214 is slidingly arranged on the mounting plate 211 and can move up and down. The pressing piece 214 is pressed downward to press the part into the workpiece 100 through the avoiding hole. After the part is conveyed to the receiving groove 2121 by the feeding mechanism 3, the clamping jaw 213 clamps the part to prevent the part from falling off from the avoiding hole and separating from the receiving piece 212. When the pressing piece 214 is needed to press the part into the workpiece 100, the clamping jaw 213 is released to release the part. Preferably, a heating piece can be arranged outside the receiving piece 212 to heat the part carried on the receiving piece 212.

[0076] Further, as shown in Figure 7 , the plug assembly 21 further comprises a pressing driving piece 215, a pressure sensor 216 and a pressing sliding guide rail 217. The fixed end of the pressing driving piece 215 is connected to the mounting plate 211. The driving end of the pressing driving piece 215 is connected to the pressing piece 214. The pressing driving piece 215 can drive the pressing piece 214 to move up and down. The pressure sensor 216 is arranged between the driving end of the pressing driving piece 215 and the pressing piece 214 to detect the pressure on the pressing piece 214, preventing the pressing piece 214 from pressing the part too much to damage the part or the workpiece 100. The pressing sliding guide rail 217 is arranged on the mounting plate 211. The pressing piece 214 can slide along the pressing sliding guide rail 217, and the movement is stable. The pressing driving piece 215 is preferably an electric cylinder. The control precision of the electric cylinder is high, which can accurately control the pressing distance of the pressing piece 214, effectively preventing the part from being inserted out of position or excessively inserted to cause damage.

[0077] Next, the structure and working principle of the feeding mechanism 3 will be described in combination with Figure 9 and Figure 10 .

[0078] As shown in Figure 9 , the feeding mechanism 3 comprises a feeding support frame 33, a vibrating disc 31 and a conveying piece 32. The feeding support frame 33 is arranged on the base 19. The part is placed in the vibrating disc 31. The vibrating disc 31 rotates and vibrates to make the part sequentially discharged from the discharge port of the vibrating disc 31. The conveying piece 32 can receive the part output by the vibrating disc 31 and sequentially convey the part to the receiving piece 212. The vibrating disc 31 is a mechanical structure commonly used in the prior art, and its structure and working principle will not be described here.

[0079] According to the structural shape of the conveying parts, the conveying member 32 can adopt different structural forms. For cylindrical parts such as nuts, nuts and bushings, the conveying member 32 can adopt a conveying pipe, the two ends of which are respectively connected with the discharge port of the vibrating disc 31 and the receiving member 212, so that the parts output from the vibrating disc 31 can enter the receiving groove 2121 on the receiving member 212 through the conveying pipe. After the cylindrical parts are vibrated by the vibrating disc 31, they enter the conveying pipe with fixed head-to-tail orientation, and the inner diameter of the conveying pipe is slightly larger than the cylindrical parts, so as to ensure that the cylindrical parts cannot be turned in the conveying pipe.

[0080] For U-shaped parts, the directionality of the parts output cannot be guaranteed by the conveying pipe, and therefore the embodiment further provides another form of conveying member 32, as shown in Figure 9 and Figure 10 The conveying member 32 includes a straight vibrating track 321, an adapter block 322 and a pushing member 323. The straight vibrating track 321 is arranged on the feeding support frame 33, and the inlet end of the straight vibrating track 321 is connected with the discharge port of the vibrating disc 31. The adapter block 322 can be connected with the outlet end of the straight vibrating track 321 to receive the parts output by the straight vibrating track 321, and the adapter block 322 can move the parts to the plug assembly 21. The pushing member 323 is arranged on one side of the adapter block 322, and can push the parts on the adapter block 322 into the plug assembly 21.

[0081] Specifically, as shown in Figure 10 The straight vibrating track 321 extends along the Y direction, and the conveying member 32 further includes a Y-direction adapter driving cylinder 324.
