Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention discloses an automated assembly line equipped with an adjustable carrier, belonging to the technical field of automated assembly lines. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous development of industrial automation, in order to improve the assembly efficiency, most connector enterprises have developed a large number of non-standard automated equipment to achieve automated assembly of processes. At the same time, on the basis of realizing single-process automation, automated assembly units have been developed, and even automated assembly lines have been built to maximize the assembly efficiency. Currently, traditional assembly lines are divided into two forms: circular and linear. Mainly, workpieces are conveyed to the workstations arranged in sequence by a conveyor belt for assembly.
[0003] For batch assembly of components with multiple specifications and varieties, there are situations where the production rhythms are different for different specifications and varieties. Moreover, in the assembly mode of mixed production of automated equipment and manual workstations, there are the following disadvantages when using the traditional assembly line mode for assembly operations:
[0004] 1) Traditional assembly lines are used for assembling products with a large batch of a single variety and cannot meet the flexible production of series products with multiple specifications and varieties;
[0005] 2) If the traditional assembly line is for mixed production of equipment and manual workstations, in order to ensure the smooth transfer between processes, operators must be arranged at each manual workstation. If the rhythms of each process are unbalanced, the utilization rate of manual work at the workstations is low;
[0006] 3) When an abnormality occurs in the assembly at a certain workstation, the workstation needs to be paused. After the processing is completed, the assembly is restarted. During the process, workpieces will accumulate, resulting in the stoppage of the line. Summary of the Invention

A code scanning assembly 14 is provided on one side of the material blocking mechanism 13. The code scanning assembly 14 is connected to a server. After the carrier 53 is stopped by the material blocking mechanism 13, the code scanning assembly 14 scans and reads the identification plate 54 on the carrier 53, and then completes scheduling in the server, and at the same time updates the state of the carrier 53 in the server; the other material blocking mechanism 13 is installed at the material placing position to stop the carrier 53 so as to realize the material placing of the assembly mechanism 26.
[0044] In this embodiment, a material taking mechanism is provided in the first buffer line in the running direction of the main line 11.

The positioning holes cooperate with the positioning pins on the material taking mechanism, which can realize the quick replacement of the storage tray 31.
[0045] In this embodiment, an adjusting mechanism 44 is provided in the first buffer line in the running direction of the main line 11. The adjusting mechanism 44 includes an adjusting frame, a first driver, and an adjusting seat 41. A first slide rail is provided on the adjusting frame. A first moving block slidably connected to the first slide rail is provided at the bottom of the adjusting seat 41. The adjusting seat 41 is slidably mounted on the first slide rail through the first moving block. The length direction of the first slide rail is perpendicular to the length direction of the buffer line. The first driver controls the adjusting seat 41 to move closer to or away from the buffer line along the first slide rail. An adjusting rod 441 and an adjusting motor 42 are provided on the adjusting seat 41. Driving discs 444 are provided at the ends of both the adjusting motor 42 and the adjusting rod 441.

A bearing seat 442 for mounting the bearings 443 is provided on the adjusting seat 41. In addition, in order to facilitate the adjusting mechanism 44 to adjust the carrier 53, a material blocking mechanism 13 and a code scanning component 14 are provided on the buffer line at the position of the adjusting mechanism 44.
[0046] In this embodiment, a positioning mechanism is further provided in the first buffer line in the running direction of the main line 11.

[0047] In this embodiment, the jacking assembly is installed at the bottom of the buffer line and is located between the adjusting mechanism 44 and the ejector pin assembly 45. The jacking assembly includes a cylinder 466 fixedly connected to the buffer line and two connecting blocks 461 fixed on the buffer line. Fixed plates 463 are provided at the bottoms of the two connecting blocks 461, pressure plates 462 are provided at the upper ends of the two fixed plates 463, a bottom plate 465 is provided at the bottom of the fixed plate 463, through holes vertically penetrating are provided on the fixed plate 463, and connecting rods 464 for connecting the pressure plate 462 and the bottom plate 465 are provided in the through holes. The cylinder 466 is located in the middle of the bottom plate 465, an output shaft through which the output end of the cylinder 466 passes is provided on the bottom plate 465, a locking block 468 is connected to the upper end of the output shaft, and a pull rod 467 connecting the locking block 468 and the bottom plate 465 is provided on the locking block 468. After the carrier 53 reaches the position, the output shaft of the cylinder 466 jacks up the locking block 468, drives the bottom plate 465 to move upward through the pull rod 467, the bottom plate 465 drives the pressure plate 462 to rise through the connecting rod 464, and the pressure plate 462 jacks up the carrier 53, realizing the separation and non-contact between the bottom of the carrier 53 and the buffer line.
[0048] The operating principle of this embodiment is as follows:
[0049] Place the carrier 53 on the main line 11. The carrier 53 runs along the main line 11 to the front of the first buffer line. At the connection between the buffer line and the main line 11, there is a material feeding mechanism 15. A material blocking mechanism 13 is provided in front of the material feeding structure. The buffer device 511 of the carrier 53 contacts the material blocking mechanism 13, so that the carrier 53 stops steadily. Then, the code scanning component 14 scans the two-dimensional code on the outer side wall of the carrier 53 to identify the status of the two-dimensional code in the server. Then, the server controls the material feeding plate of the material feeding mechanism 15 to rotate to the open position. At this time, the material feeding plate blocks the main line 11, so that the main line 11 is communicated with the buffer line through the second turntable 22. The carrier 53 enters the buffer line through the material feeding plate and advances under the action of the buffer line. When the carrier 53 runs to the adjusting mechanism 44, the carrier 53 stops steadily under the action of the material blocking mechanism 13. At this time, the cylinder 466 of the jacking assembly starts. The output shaft of the cylinder 466 jacks up the locking block 468, drives the bottom plate 465 to move upward through the pull rod 467, the bottom plate 465 drives the pressure plate 462 to rise through the connecting rod 464, and the pressure plate 462 jacks up the carrier 53, realizing the separation and non-contact between the bottom of the carrier 53 and the buffer line;
[0050] After that, the second driver 457 of the thimble assembly 45 drives the base 51 closer to the carrier 53, so that the fixing block 453 on the base 51 moves to make its end face contact the side of the carrier 53. When the thimble 451 on the fixing block 453 touches the side of the carrier 53, it starts to retract. At this time, the other end of the thimble 451 moves towards the side away from the carrier 53. When the thimble 451 extends into the sensing range of the optical sensor 452, the sensing is triggered, and the server controls the second driver 457 to stop. At this time, the end face of the fixing block 453 abuts against the side of the carrier 53, and the fixing block 453 limits the carrier 53. After that, the first driver of the adjusting mechanism 44 drives the adjusting seat 41 closer to the carrier 53. The sleeve 445 of the adjusting rod 441 passes through the adjusting hole of the carrier 53 and is connected to the connecting head of the adjusting screw rod 55. The adjusting motor 42 controls the adjusting rod 441 to rotate through the transmission belt 43. The sleeve 445 drives the adjusting screw rod 55 to rotate. The slider drives the positioning block 52 to move along the mounting plate, and the positioning block 52 is adjusted to a suitable clamping size. Then the adjusting mechanism 44 controls the adjusting rod 441 to withdraw from the adjusting hole. The air cylinder 466 controls the pressing plate 462 to descend, and the carrier 53 is placed back on the buffer line. After the code scanning component 14 scans the two-dimensional code of the carrier 53, the adjustment of the carrier 53 is updated. The material blocking mechanism 13 retracts, so that the carrier 53 continues to move forward to the material taking mechanism. The material taking robotic arm 32 takes out the material from the storage tray 31 and places it on the carrier 53. After the placement is completed, the carrier 53 continues to move forward, flows out of the buffer line through the material distributing mechanism 15, and enters the main line 11;
[0051] When the carrier 53 moves along the main line 11 to the next buffer line and is scanned by the code scanning component 14, the material distributing mechanism 15 brings the carrier 53 into the buffer line. After that, the carrier 53 stays at the material taking position under the action of the material blocking mechanism 13. After the carrier 53 stops stably, the material taking and assembling robotic arm 27 takes out the material from the carrier 53 and performs assembly at the assembly station. After the code scanning component 14 scans the two-dimensional code and determines that there is no carrier 53 at the material placing position, the material blocking mechanism 13 retracts to make the carrier 53 move to the material placing position. After the assembly is completed, the assembling robotic arm 27 puts the material back on the carrier 53. The carrier 53 continues to move forward, flows out of the buffer line through the material distributing mechanism 15, and enters the main line 11; The operation actions of the subsequent assembly processes are the same as those above. Therefore, for the next process, the above actions are cycled.
[0052] The above is only the specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention includes but is not limited to the content described in the drawings and the above specific implementation manner. Any modification that does not deviate from the functional and structural principles of the present invention will be included in the scope of the claims.
