Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of light guide column assembly equipment, and more particularly to a light guide column assembly equipment that can automatically separate the light guide column and the sprue. Background Technology
[0002] Precision functional components in smart terminals such as mobile phones, tablets, and displays all require the assembly of light guides during the manufacturing process. These light guides guide the signal light from the electronic device to the display panel. Light guides are typically produced through injection molding. However, these injection-molded light guides have sprue connections, which need to be removed before assembly. Currently, the sprue connections are removed using a specific device before assembly. Furthermore, existing automated assembly machines require a vibratory feeder to align the light guides, then a fixture to grip them, move them to the conveyor housing, and finally press them into the mounting housing of the precision functional component. During assembly, the fixture moves back and forth, constantly gripping and placing the light guides, resulting in pauses and reduced processing efficiency. The reciprocating fixture also slows down the assembly speed.
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new light guide assembly device that can automatically separate the light guide column and the water inlet to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

During assembly, the light guide columns can be fed one by one into the guide cylinder by a feeding vibratory plate. They are then pre-loaded by descending into a rotating lifting box. The rotation of the lifting box then transports the light guide columns to the guide groove. When they reach the guide groove, the light guide columns are pressed and installed onto the assembly shell by a push rod motor or other equipment. This improves assembly efficiency, speeds up assembly, reduces assembly steps, and makes assembly more convenient. Attached Figure Description

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.
[0030] The specific implementation of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 9 This invention provides an automatic light guide assembly device for separating light guide columns and sprues. The device includes: a processing table 1, a top plate 3, and a feeding vibratory feeder 5. A partition 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the processing table 1. The top plate 3 is positioned above the partition 2. Support columns 4 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the top plate 3 at equal intervals and angles. The bottom ends of the support columns 4 are all fixedly connected to the partition 2. The feeding vibratory feeder 5 is fixedly installed on the top of the partition 2. The device also includes: a guide cylinder 6, a drive shaft 9, a lifting box 10, an upper rotating plate 12, and a lower rotating plate 20. The guide cylinder 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the top plate 3, and its bottom penetrates through the top plate 3. The feeding vibratory feeder 5... The output end is fixedly connected to the guide cylinder 6. The drive shaft 9 is rotatably connected to the top of the processing table 1 through a bearing. The top end of the drive shaft 9 is rotatably connected to the top plate 3 through a bearing. The upper rotating plate 12 is set at the bottom of the top plate 3 and is fixedly connected to the outside of the drive shaft 9. The top of the upper rotating plate 12 is provided with round holes 13 at equal intervals and angles. The lower rotating plate 20 is rotatably connected to the inside of the partition plate 2 through a bearing. The lower rotating plate 20 is fixedly connected to the outside of the drive shaft 9. Guide columns 19 are fixedly connected between the lower rotating plate 20 and the upper rotating plate 12 at equal intervals and angles. The lifting box 10 is set between the upper rotating plate 12 and the lower rotating plate 20 at equal intervals and angles. The lifting boxes 10 are all slidably connected to the outside of the corresponding guide columns 19.
[0032] It should be noted that: when the feeding vibratory plate 5 is working, the light guide column is sequentially fed into the guide cylinder 6, and falls into the through hole 24 of the lifting box 10 through the guide cylinder 6 and the round hole 13. When the upper rotating plate 12 and the lower rotating plate 20 rotate, they will drive the lifting box 10 with the light guide column to rotate. The drive shaft 9 will also drive the conveyor plate 14 to rotate. The shells to be assembled from the conveyor device 8 on one side of the processing table 1 will be sequentially conveyed into the groove 15 of the conveyor plate 14. When the conveyor plate 14 rotates, the assembled shells will rotate sequentially along the arc plate 21 to the corresponding lifting box 10. During the continuous rotation, the lifting box 10 will first descend along the outer arc rod 18, and then when it descends to the lowest point, it will fit with the partition plate 2. When it reaches the initial end of the guide groove 11, the light guide column in the through hole 24 of the lifting box 10 can fall through the guide groove 11 onto the corresponding assembled shell on the conveyor plate 14.
[0033] In an embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figures 3 to 7 Both sides of the processing table 1 are equipped with conveying devices 8. A conveying plate 14 is provided between the partition 2 and the processing table 1. The conveying plate 14 is fixedly connected to the outside of the drive shaft 9. Grooves 15 are provided at equal intervals and angles on the outside of the conveying plate 14. An arc plate 21 is fixedly connected between the processing table 1 and the partition 2. A guide groove 11 is provided on the top of the partition 2.
[0034] It should be noted that: through the groove 15 of the conveyor plate 14, when the conveyor plate 14 rotates, the assembled outer shell is rotated along the arc plate 21 to the bottom of the corresponding lifting box 10 in sequence.
[0035] In an embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The output end of the first motor 22 is fixedly connected to a sector gear 23, and the outer side of the bottom end of the drive shaft 9 is fixedly connected to a drive gear 16, which meshes with the sector gear 23.
[0036] It should be noted that: under the drive of the first motor 22, the sector gear 23 intermittently drives the drive gear 16 to rotate, causing the drive shaft 9 to rotate intermittently, thereby driving the upper rotating plate 12 and the lower rotating plate 20 to rotate;
[0037] In an embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The lifting box 10 has through holes 24 inside, and each through hole 24 is set to the corresponding round hole 13. The top of the partition 2 is fixedly connected to the inner arc rod 17 and the outer arc rod 18 on the outside of the lower rotating plate 20.
[0038] It should be noted that the light guide column inside the guide cylinder 6 can fall into the through hole 24 of the lifting box 10 through the round hole 13 for pre-loading. The inner arc rod 17 and the outer arc rod 18 guide the lifting box 10 to rise and fall during the rotation of the lifting box 10.
[0039] In an embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 A support frame 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the partition plate 2 outside the feeding vibratory plate 5. A partition frame 29 is fixedly connected inside the support frame 7. A mounting frame 30 is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 7. A laser cutting blade 31 is fixedly installed at equal intervals on one side of the mounting frame 30. A feeding hopper 25 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the bottom of the support frame 7. A rotating shaft 27 is rotatably connected to the inside of the support frame 7 through bearings at equal intervals. Pulleys 28 are fixedly fixedly connected at equal intervals on the outside of the rotating shaft 27. The corresponding pulleys 28 on both sides of the inside of the support frame 7 are connected by belt drive. A second motor 26 is fixedly installed on one side of the support frame 7. The output end of the second motor 26 is fixedly connected to one end of the corresponding rotating shaft 27.
[0040] It should be noted that: the light guide column blank from the injection molding point is placed on the partition frame 29 of the support frame 7. Driven by the second motor 26, the rotating shaft 27 drives the pulley 28 to rotate, and the light guide column blank is conveyed by the belt. During the conveying process, the sprue of the light guide column blank is cut off by the laser cutting blade 31, so that the sprue is separated from the light guide column. The cut light guide column can fall into the feeding hopper 25 through the gap on the partition frame 29, and then fall into the feeding vibrating plate 5 under the guidance of the feeding hopper 25.
[0041] The working principle of the light guide assembly equipment that can automatically separate the light guide column and the sprue provided by the present invention is as follows: The light guide column blank from the injection molding point is placed on the partition frame 29 of the support frame 7. Driven by the second motor 26, the rotating shaft 27 drives the pulley 28 to rotate, and the light guide column blank is conveyed by the belt. During the conveying process, the sprue of the light guide column blank is cut off by the laser cutting blade 31, so that the sprue is separated from the light guide column. The cut light guide column can fall into the feeding hopper 25 through the gap on the partition frame 29. Guided by the feeding hopper 25, it falls into the feeding vibrating plate 5. Under the operation of the feeding vibrating plate 5, the light guide column is sequentially conveyed into the guide cylinder 6, and then through the guide cylinder 6 and the round hole 1. 3. The light guide column falls into the through hole 24 of the lifting box 10. The bottom of the through hole 24 of the lifting box 10 below the guide cylinder 6 contacts the outer arc rod 18 to prevent the light guide column from sliding out from below after falling into the through hole 24. Under the drive of the first motor 22, the sector gear 23 intermittently drives the drive gear 16 to rotate, causing the drive shaft 9 to rotate intermittently, thereby driving the upper rotating plate 12 and the lower rotating plate 20 to rotate. When the upper rotating plate 12 and the lower rotating plate 20 rotate, they will drive the lifting box 10 with the light guide column to rotate. Moreover, while the lifting box 10 is rotating, it can also slowly descend along the outer arc rod 18. At the same time as the lifting box 10 rotates, the drive shaft 9 will also drive the conveyor plate 14 to rotate from one side of the processing table 1. The housings to be assembled, conveyed by the conveying device 8, are sequentially transported into the grooves 15 of the conveying plate 14. As the conveying plate 14 rotates, the housings to be assembled rotate sequentially along the arc plate 21 to the area below the corresponding lifting box 10. During continuous rotation, the lifting box 10 first descends along the outer arc rod 18, and then, at its lowest point, it fits against the partition plate 2. When it reaches the initial end of the guide groove 11, the light guide column in the through hole 24 of the lifting box 10 can fall through the guide groove 11 onto the corresponding housing to be assembled on the conveying plate 14. At this point, the light guide column can be pressed and installed onto the housing by gently pressing it using a push rod motor or other equipment. The assembled housing... As the conveyor plate 14 continues to transport the material, it rotates sequentially along the guide groove 11 to the conveyor device 8 on the other side of the processing table 1, thereby conveying the assembled shell out. At the same time, the lifting box 10 will rotate along the guide groove 11 to the inner arc rod 17. The inner arc rod 17 is offset from the through hole 24 of the lifting box 10. The light guide column of the assembled shell will slide along the guide groove 11 and be offset from the inner arc rod 17. The lifting box 10 will slowly rise along the inner arc rod 17 during rotation and gradually separate from the lifting box 10. When it reaches the outer arc rod 18 and the guide cylinder 6, it will be loaded again to improve the efficiency of assembly, speed up the assembly process, reduce the assembly steps, and make the assembly process more convenient.
[0042] The above description is merely an embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of the present invention specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
