Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of box assembly technology, and more particularly to the assembly process of snap-fit ​​gray boards. Background Technology

[0002] The barrel-shaped wine box consists of a barrel body and a barrel lid. During the manufacturing process, when assembling the barrel body, the buckles and the gray board need to be connected together in a certain way to form the barrel body.

[0003] In existing technologies, assembly is generally carried out by determining the size from the smaller parts, as shown in the instruction manual. Figure 1 As shown, the method of inserting the clips into the gray board requires flipping the clip-and-gray board assembly over to position and adhere it to the adhesive-coated face paper during subsequent application. Existing technology is not directly compatible with subsequent processes and requires additional adjustments to the orientation of the assembly during output, resulting in low assembly efficiency. Therefore, an improvement is urgently needed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a snap-fit ​​gray board assembly process, which aims to solve the technical problem that the existing assembly process is cumbersome and cannot be directly compatible with subsequent processes.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a snap-fit ​​gray board assembly process, involving snap-fits and gray boards. The snap-fit ​​includes a flat portion and a protruding portion, and the gray board has a locking slot that mates with the snap-fit. The process includes the following steps:

[0006] Loading process: Move the buckle to the work station with the protruding part facing upward;

[0007] Glue spraying process: Apply glue to the flat surface of the buckle;

[0008] Assembly process: Move the gray board above the buckle, with the outer side of the gray board facing down and the inner side facing up, and insert it into the buckle from top to bottom.

[0009] Output process: Output the assembled snap-fit ​​gray board assembly outwards.

[0010] Furthermore, the buckle is transferred between processes via a four-station turntable to sequentially complete the processes of feeding, spraying glue, assembling with the gray board, and outputting the assembly. The four-station turntable is equipped with a fixture, and the fixture has protrusions that engage with the buckle.

[0011] Furthermore, the output process includes a pressing mechanism for pressing the adhesive parts of the snap-fit ​​gray board assembly before outputting it.

[0012] Furthermore, in the feeding process, multiple buckle materials are vibrated and screened by a vibrating plate into an upward-facing posture, enter the limiting channel and are restricted into a queue state. A single buckle is extracted from the queued materials, and it is checked whether it is at the target angle. Then, based on the detection result, the buckle is inserted into the protrusion on the fixture.

[0013] Furthermore, in the feeding process, multiple buckle materials are vibrated and screened by a vibrating plate into a posture with the protrusion facing upward. The buckles are checked from the discharged buckles to see if they are at the target angle. The buckles are then conveyed into the limiting channel and restricted into a queue state. Based on the detection result from the front, a single buckle is extracted from the queued materials and then inserted into the protrusion on the fixture.

[0014] Furthermore, in the adhesive spraying process, adhesive is sprayed onto the straight surface of the buckle around the protrusion.

[0015] Furthermore, the assembly process includes a plate-retrieving mechanism, which is used to pick up a single gray plate, move it above the buckle, and insert the gray plate into the buckle from top to bottom.

[0016] Furthermore, in the output process, the snap-fit ​​gray board assembly is discharged outward in an "L" path.

[0017] Furthermore, the output process includes an active opening mechanism to assist the snap-fit ​​gray board assembly in outputting outward in a horizontal posture.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this invention are reflected in:

[0019] In this invention, the clips are first sprayed with adhesive and then transferred to the assembly station. Then, the gray board is picked up and assembled with the outer side facing down and the inner side facing up. The output assembly has the inner side facing up, and the subsequent process can directly fold and assemble the assembly without flipping it over again, reducing unnecessary assembly steps. By adopting the method of determining the size based on the size, it is directly compatible with the subsequent process and improves the assembly efficiency. Attached Figure Description

Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] It should be noted that if the embodiments of the present invention involve directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indicators are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicators will also change accordingly.

[0030] Furthermore, if the embodiments of this invention involve descriptions such as "first" or "second," these descriptions are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. Additionally, the meaning of "and / or" throughout the text includes three parallel solutions; for example, "A and / or B" includes solution A, solution B, or a solution where both A and B are satisfied. Furthermore, "multiple" refers to two or more. Moreover, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, such a combination of technical solutions should be considered non-existent.

[0031] Please see Figure 1 and 2 The present invention relates to a snap-fit ​​gray board assembly process, which involves a snap-fit ​​and a gray board. The snap-fit ​​includes a flat part K2 and a protruding part K1. The gray board has a slot for engaging with the snap-fit. The process includes the following steps:

[0032] Loading process: Move the buckle to the work station with the protruding part K1 facing upwards;

[0033] Glue spraying process: Apply glue to the flat part K2 of the buckle;

[0034] Assembly process: Move the gray board above the buckle, with the outside of the gray board facing down and the inside facing up, and insert it into the buckle from top to bottom.

[0035] Output process: Output the assembled snap-fit ​​gray board assembly outwards.

[0036] Traditional crafts such as Figure 1 As shown, the assembly process uses a method of using small (clamps) to determine large (gray board) components. After assembly, the outer side of the output assembly faces upward. Before the assembly can be folded and shaped, it is necessary to flip the assembly over first, which increases the assembly process and makes it incompatible with subsequent processes, thereby reducing assembly efficiency.

[0037] The process of this invention adopts a method of assembling by using a large (grey board) to determine a small (buckle). That is, after spraying glue on the flat part K2 of the buckle, it is transferred to the work station. The gray board is moved above the buckle and is inserted into the buckle with the outside facing down and the inside facing up. After assembly, the inner surface of the output assembly is facing up, which can be directly compatible with the subsequent process (i.e. the forming process of the barrel-shaped box) without the need for flipping. This reduces unnecessary steps and improves assembly efficiency.

[0038] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 The buckle is transferred between processes via a four-station turntable, sequentially completing the processes of feeding, spraying glue, assembling with the gray board, and outputting the assembly. The four-station turntable is equipped with a fixture, which has protrusions that engage with the buckle.

[0039] The fixtures are set in four groups on the four-station turntable, each facing a different process. Each fixture can hold two clips, so that there are always workpieces undergoing different assembly processes on the four-station turntable. The assembly of workpieces is more continuous, the utilization rate of the four-station turntable is high, and the processing efficiency is improved.

[0040] By concentrating the assembly process together through a four-station turntable, the transfer of workpieces between different processes becomes more efficient, enabling continuous processing and achieving the advantages of assembly line and industrialized operations, thereby improving processing efficiency.

[0041] In one embodiment, the output process includes a pressing mechanism for pressing the adhesive portion of the snap-fit ​​gray board assembly before outputting it.

[0042] When the clips are assembled with the gray board, they are sprayed with adhesive. After the gray board is inserted with the clips during the assembly process, a part of the outer surface of the gray board will adhere to the adhesive part on the gray board. In order to make the adhesive part of the two more secure, a pressing mechanism is set in the output process to press the adhesive part of the two to improve the adhesive strength.

[0043] Specifically, one embodiment of the pressing mechanism is given below, but it is not limited to the implementation described below; please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 5 The pressing mechanism includes an upper roller 100 and a lower roller 200. Both the upper roller 100 and the lower roller 200 are composed of two sections of rollers. There is a gap between the rollers that allows the snap fastener to pass through. After the snap fastener gray board assembly is output, it is transferred between the upper roller 100 and the lower roller 200 for discharge. The four rollers press and output the adhesive part of the snap fastener gray board assembly from the upper and lower sides, which improves the strength of the adhesive part of the snap fastener gray board assembly and makes it less likely to detach.

[0044] It should be noted that, Figure 5 The diagram only shows the distribution of the pressing mechanism. During installation, the upper roller 100 and the lower roller 200 are driven by a motor and require corresponding support structures.

[0045] In one embodiment, during the feeding process, multiple buckle materials are vibrated and screened by a vibrating plate into a posture with the protrusion K1 facing upwards. They enter the limiting channel and are restricted into a queue state. A single buckle is extracted from the queued materials, and it is checked whether it is at the target angle. Then, based on the detection result, the buckle is inserted into the protrusion on the fixture.

[0046] The vibrating plate outputs the randomly placed buckles in a uniform posture, that is, with the protruding part K1 facing upward. The buckles are then arranged in sequence and the passage path is restricted, which makes it easy to directly extract and transfer the buckles during loading. This allows for the orderly extraction of individual buckles from the arranged buckles during subsequent loading, thus improving the efficiency of the loading process.

[0047] According to the assembly requirements of the buckle and the gray board, the posture of the buckle needs to be detected during the feeding process. This detection step is after the buckle outputs in a uniform posture and is arranged and conveyed forward. If the posture of the buckle does not meet the requirements for subsequent direct extraction and transfer feeding, the posture of the buckle needs to be adjusted. After adjustment, extraction and feeding can be carried out.

[0048] In one embodiment, during the feeding process, multiple buckle materials are vibrated and screened by a vibrating plate to form a protrusion-upward posture. The buckles are then checked to see if they are at the target angle. The buckles are then conveyed into a limiting channel and restricted into a queue state. Based on the detection results from the front, a single buckle is extracted from the queued materials and then inserted into the protrusion on the fixture.

[0049] The difference between this embodiment and the previous embodiment is that the detection step of the buckle can be set directly after the buckle is output in a uniform posture, and after the posture is adjusted, the action of arranging and limiting the conveying of the buckle is connected.

[0050] In one embodiment, during the adhesive spraying process, adhesive is sprayed around the protrusion K1 on the straight surface of the buckle. When the buckle is assembled with the gray board, the protrusion on it will pass through the slot on the gray board. Therefore, when spraying adhesive on the buckle, it is sufficient to spray a ring of adhesive around the protrusion K1 on the buckle surface, so that the contact area between the buckle and the gray board is covered with adhesive, so as to facilitate better assembly with the gray board later. The adhesive can be sprayed gradually in a circular pattern, or the circular distribution of adhesive can be sprayed directly in one go.

[0051] In one embodiment, the assembly process includes a plate-retrieving mechanism for adsorbing a single gray plate, moving it above the buckle, and inserting the gray plate into the buckle from top to bottom.

[0052] The gray boards are placed on the support and stacked from top to bottom. The stacking state of the gray boards is uniformly that the outside is down and the inside is up. After the buckle moves to the assembly station, the top gray board is taken out by the board taking mechanism and moved along a U-shaped path so that the gray board is inserted into the buckle with the outside down and the inside up, thus completing the assembly operation.

[0053] The board-retrieving mechanism includes a suction component and a moving module. The moving module can be configured to drive the suction component to move in a U-shaped path. The suction component can be a suction cup, which picks up the gray board by air suction.

[0054] In one embodiment, during the output process, the snap-fit ​​gray board assembly is discharged outward along an "L" path. To improve the single-piece output efficiency of the snap-fit ​​gray board assembly, after the assembly is assembled and transferred to the output process, the assembly is sucked up and discharged outward along an "L" path instead of the traditional "U" shaped path, thus reducing the path distance for discharging a single assembly and thereby improving the efficiency of assembly discharge.

[0055] In one embodiment, an active opening mechanism is provided in the output process to assist the snap-fit ​​gray board assembly in outputting horizontally. To avoid obstruction of the discharge process due to the gray board tilting downwards, the active opening mechanism increases the discharge space of the assembly, effectively preventing obstruction and ensuring smooth discharge.

[0056] Specifically, the following is a specific implementation of the active opening mechanism, but it is not limited to the following implementation method; the active opening mechanism includes an upper roller 100, a lower roller 200, and a driver 300. The upper roller 100 and the lower roller 200 are respectively provided with a linkage gear 301 and a drive gear 302 coaxially connected to them. The linkage gear 301 and the drive gear 302 are driven by a transmission gear 303, and the upper roller 100 is in an active state; by driving the linkage gear 301 to rotate, the stress transmitted between the transmission gear 303 and the linkage gear 301 drives the linkage gear 301 to move upward by no more than one tooth groove, thereby causing the upper roller 100 to perform a vertical rapid reciprocating motion, thus achieving the effect of active opening.

[0057] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
