Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of assembly equipment technology, and more particularly to a disassembly and assembly device and a production line having the same. Background Technology

[0002] In the smart wearable anodizing process industry, traditional manual loading and unloading methods are mostly used, which are inefficient, unstable, and prone to product bumps and scratches. However, when equipment is used for loading and unloading, the anodizing fixtures, which include a base plate and a cover plate, are assembled with the product on the principle of stacking hamburgers. That is, the product is assembled between the base plate and the cover plate to form a multi-layer structure, thereby reducing the occurrence of poor conductivity at the contact points.

[0003] Therefore, during loading and unloading, the base plate, cover plate, and product need to be loaded and positioned three times to ensure the reliability of subsequent assembly, resulting in low assembly efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a disassembly and assembly device and a production line having the same, which solves the problem of low assembly efficiency.

[0005] Therefore, in a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a disassembly and assembly device, including a first frame, on which:

[0006] The first platform, on which the product is mounted;

[0007] An actuator includes a second platform, a drive mechanism, and a connecting mechanism. The drive mechanism is used to drive the second platform to move in a direction close to or away from the connecting mechanism. A fixture is provided on the second platform. The fixture includes a base plate provided on the second platform and a cover plate provided on the base plate.

[0008] A first transport device includes a movable first transport component for acquiring and transporting the product; and

[0009] The second transport device includes a second transport component and a first lifting assembly for driving the second transport component to rise and fall.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the connecting mechanism includes a third platform disposed on the first frame. The third platform is provided with a connector. The bottom plate and the cover plate are provided with connecting holes at corresponding positions on the top and bottom for detachable engagement with the connector. In the assembled state, the bottom plate and the cover plate are connected by the connector to confine the product between the bottom plate and the cover plate.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the third platform is positioned below the second platform, the first frame is provided with a lifting component for driving the third platform to move up and down, and the bottom of the second transport component is provided with a clamping part for abutting against the upper surface of the cover plate.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the actuator further includes a detection mechanism disposed on the first frame.

[0013] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a production line, comprising:

[0014] As described in the first aspect, disassembly and assembly equipment;

[0015] A first loading device includes a first robotic arm and multiple products, wherein the first robotic arm is used to transport the products to the first platform; and

[0016] The second loading device includes a second robotic arm and multiple fixtures. The second robotic arm is used to transport the fixtures to the second platform.

[0017] In one possible implementation, a mounting device is also included, wherein the connecting mechanism is used to connect the base plate, the product, and the cover plate to form an article, and the mounting device is used to mount the article.

[0018] In one possible implementation, a transport device is also included, which is used to transport the product formed on the disassembly / assembly device to the mounting device.

[0019] In one possible implementation, the mounting device includes a second rack on which:

[0020] The first workbench is equipped with a connecting rod;

[0021] The fourth platform is used to support the product. The bottom plate and the cover plate are provided with hanging holes for cooperating with the string rod at corresponding positions.

[0022] The third transport device includes a third transport component movably disposed between the first workbench and the fourth platform, the third transport component being used to acquire the string rod.

[0023] In one possible implementation, a fourth transport device is also included, which comprises:

[0024] The second lifting assembly is provided with a fourth worktable, and a plurality of first actuators are spaced apart on the fourth worktable. The first actuators are used to acquire the products on the transport equipment.

[0025] A pitch-adjusting assembly, disposed on the fourth worktable, is used to adjust the distance between two adjacent first actuators; and

[0026] The fourth driving element is used to drive the fourth worktable to move toward or away from the fourth platform.

[0027] In one possible implementation, the rack is further provided with a tilting device, the tilting device comprising:

[0028] The fifth platform is used to support the product;

[0029] A second actuator is used to grip the article on the fifth platform; and

[0030] The drive assembly includes a third lifting assembly for driving the second actuator to rise and fall, and a motion assembly for driving the second actuator to move horizontally.

[0031] The transport equipment is used to transport the article on the second actuator to the mounting equipment.

[0032] According to the disassembly and assembly equipment and production line provided in the embodiments of this application, in the disassembly and assembly equipment, the drive mechanism drives the second platform to move to the second transport component. The second transport component is used to obtain the cover plate and separate the cover plate from the bottom plate by rising the second transport component. After the first transport component obtains the product, it transports the product to the second platform to place the product on the bottom plate. The descent of the second transport component can set the cover plate on the side of the product away from the bottom plate to realize the stacking of the bottom plate, the product and the cover plate. The drive mechanism drives the second platform to move to the connecting mechanism, and the connecting mechanism assembles the bottom plate, the product and the cover plate to form an article.

[0033] This method facilitates the positioning of the relative positions between the base plate and the cover plate. Since the cover plate only moves up and down relative to the base plate, only one positioning is required when the three individual parts need to be assembled and connected together. This ensures the reliability of the product's position when it is placed on the base plate, greatly improving assembly efficiency and assembly effect. Attached Figure Description

[0061] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0062] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of a disassembly and assembly device 100 provided in an embodiment of this application; Figure 2 This is a top view of a disassembly and assembly device 100 provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0063] like Figures 1-2As shown in the figure, this application embodiment provides a disassembly and assembly device 100, including a first frame 110, on which a first platform 111, an execution device 120, a first transport device 130, and a second transport device 140 are disposed. The first platform 111 is provided with a product. The execution device 120 includes a second platform 121, a drive mechanism 122, and a connecting mechanism 123. The drive mechanism 122 drives the second platform 121 to move towards or away from the connecting mechanism 123. The second platform 121 is provided with a fixture, which includes a base plate disposed on the second platform 121 and a cover plate disposed on the base plate. The first transport device 130 includes a movably disposed first transport member 131, which is used to acquire and transport the product. The second transport device 140 includes a second transport member 141 and a first lifting assembly for driving the second transport member 141 to rise and fall.

[0064] The driving mechanism 122 drives the second platform 121 to move to the second transport member 141. The second transport member 141 is used to acquire the cover plate and separate the cover plate from the bottom plate by rising the second transport member 141. After acquiring the product, the first transport member 131 transports the product to the second platform 121 to place the product on the bottom plate. The descent of the second transport member 141 can set the cover plate on the side of the product away from the bottom plate to achieve the stacking of the bottom plate, the product and the cover plate. The driving mechanism 122 drives the second platform 121 to move to the connecting mechanism 123, and the bottom plate, the product and the cover plate are assembled to form an article by the connecting mechanism 123.

[0065] This method facilitates the positioning of the relative positions between the base plate and the cover plate. Since the cover plate only moves up and down relative to the base plate, only one positioning is required when the three individual parts need to be assembled and connected together. This ensures the reliability of the product's position when it is placed on the base plate, greatly improving assembly efficiency and effect, and making the process more stable.

[0066] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first platform 111 is fixedly mounted on the first frame 110. The first platform 111 has multiple first mounting positions, and products are placed within these positions. Therefore, the first platform 111 can simultaneously support multiple products, and the products are confined within the first mounting positions. Correspondingly, the first transport device 130 includes multiple first transport components 131, each of which can move synchronously to transport multiple products on the first platform 111 simultaneously, thereby improving assembly efficiency.

[0067] The second platform 121 is movably mounted on the first frame 110. The first frame 110 is provided with a second slide rail extending along the moving direction of the second platform 121. The second slide rail is fixedly mounted on the first frame 110. The bottom of the second platform 121 is provided with a second sliding groove that engages with the second slide rail. The engagement of the second slide rail and the second sliding groove ensures the stability of the second platform 121's movement on the first frame 110. It should be noted that the moving direction of the second platform 121 can be parallel to the length direction of the first frame 110, parallel to the width direction of the first frame 110, or the moving direction of the second platform 121 can be a curve, arc, or wavy line, etc. In this application, the second platform 121 is movable along the width direction of the first frame 110.

[0068] The second platform 121 has multiple second mounting positions, and the fixtures are set in the second mounting positions. Therefore, the second platform 121 can simultaneously carry multiple fixtures, and the fixtures are limited and set in the second mounting positions. The arrangement of the second mounting positions on the second platform 121 is the same as the arrangement of the first mounting positions on the first platform 111.

[0069] The drive mechanism 122 is used to drive the movement of the second platform 121. The drive mechanism 122 includes a drive motor and a drive screw connected to the output shaft of the drive motor. The drive screw is horizontally rotatably mounted on the first frame 110 via a bearing seat, and the drive screw is threaded through the second platform 121 along the direction of movement of the second platform 121. Therefore, the rotation of the output shaft of the drive motor will drive the rotation of the drive screw to drive the synchronous movement of the second platform 121. The connecting mechanism 123 is located on one side of the drive screw along the length of the first frame 110 to ensure that the second platform 121 can move to the connecting mechanism 123 for connection. In addition, it should be noted that the drive mechanism 122 also includes other devices that can realize the movement of the second platform 121, such as cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, or electric push rods.

[0070] The first transport device 130 includes a first transport component 131, which is movably mounted on the first frame 110. For example, the first transport component 131 can be a robotic arm, which can grasp products from the first platform 111 and place them on the second platform 121 for assembly. Similarly, the first transport component 131 can also be a gripper, suction cup, or other device capable of acquiring products from the first platform 111. In this application, the first transport component 131 is a gripper for grasping the product.

[0071] The first transport device 130 further includes a first support 132, which is fixedly mounted on the first frame 110, and the length direction of the first support 132 is parallel to the length direction of the first frame 110. A first worktable 430 is mounted on the first support 132, and the first worktable is slidably mounted on the first support 132 along the length direction of the first support 132. A first moving component for driving the first worktable to move is mounted on the first support 132. A first lifting component is mounted on the first worktable, which includes a first cylinder. The first cylinder is detachably mounted on the first worktable by bolts. The first lifting component is vertically mounted, and the piston rod of the first cylinder extends along the height direction of the first frame 110. The piston rod of the first cylinder is provided with a first cantilever, and multiple first transport components 131 are mounted on the side of the first cantilever facing the first frame 110; therefore, the multiple first transport components 131 can achieve synchronous lifting and synchronous movement. The arrangement of multiple first transport components 131 on the first cantilever is the same as the arrangement of multiple first mounting positions on the first platform 111, so multiple first transport components 131 can simultaneously acquire products in multiple first mounting positions.

[0072] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The second transport device 140 includes multiple second transport components 141, which correspond to multiple first transport components 131 to ensure assembly. Similarly, the second transport component 141 can also be a robotic arm, gripper, or suction cup, etc. In this application, the structure of the second transport component 141 is the same as that of the first transport component 131; therefore, both the second transport component 141 and the first transport component 131 are grippers, which grasp the cover plate to achieve separation between the cover plate and the base plate.

[0073] During operation, the second platform 121 moves directly below the second transport component 141. The second transport component 141 moves toward the second platform 121 and retrieves the cover plate from the second platform 121. The second platform 121 moves along the width direction of the first frame 110 and stops when it reaches one end of the width direction of the first frame 110. The first transport component 131 moves along the length direction of the first frame 110 and moves directly above the second platform 121. The first transport component 131 moves downward to place the product on the base plate. It should be noted that, to facilitate positioning the product's movement, when the second platform 121 moves to one end of the width direction of the first frame 110, its position is parallel and spaced apart from the position of the first platform 111 along the length direction of the first frame 110. Subsequently, the second platform 121 returns to its original position, and the second transport component 141 moves toward the second platform 121 to place the cover plate on top of the product.

[0074] The second transport device 140 further includes a second support 142, which is fixedly mounted on the first frame 110, and the length direction of the second support 142 is parallel to the length direction of the first frame 110. A second platform is mounted on the second support 142, and the second platform is slidably mounted on the second support 142 along its length direction. A second moving component for driving the second platform to move is mounted on the second support 142. A first lifting component is mounted on the second platform and includes a second cylinder, which is detachably mounted on the second platform by bolts. The second cylinder is vertically mounted, and its piston rod extends along the height direction of the first frame 110. The piston rod of the second cylinder is provided with a second cantilever. Multiple second transport components 141 are arranged on the side of the second cantilever facing the first frame 110; therefore, the multiple second transport components 141 can achieve synchronous lifting and synchronous movement. The arrangement of the multiple second transport components 141 on the second cantilever is the same as the arrangement of the multiple first transport components 131 on the first cantilever.

[0075] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The connecting mechanism 123 includes a third platform 1231 disposed on the first frame 110. The third platform 1231 is provided with a connector 1232. The bottom plate and the cover plate are provided with connecting holes at corresponding positions on the top and bottom for detachable engagement with the connector 1232. In the assembled state, the bottom plate and the cover plate are connected through the connector 1232 to limit the product between the bottom plate and the cover plate. The third platform 1231 is movably disposed on the first frame 110. When the second platform 121 moves to the connecting mechanism 123, the third platform 1231 moves to align the connector 1232 with the connecting holes and connect them to assemble the bottom plate, the product and the cover plate.

[0076] The second platform 121 has a clearance hole through which the connecting hole is located. The third platform 1231 is movably mounted on the first frame 110 and is positioned below the second platform 121. The first frame 110 is equipped with a lifting component for driving the third platform 1231 to rise and fall. The lifting component includes a third cylinder. Therefore, when the second platform 121 moves directly above the third platform 1231, in the assembled state, the third cylinder drives the fourth platform 420 to rise to mate the connector 1232 with the connecting hole to achieve connection. The product is clamped and fixed between the base plate and the cover plate. For example, the connector 1232 includes a screw, and the connecting hole is a threaded hole for screwing in. An electric screwdriver is provided on the third platform 1231; therefore, the electric screwdriver can perform the screw tightening operation. Similarly, in order to ensure assembly efficiency, the third platform 1231 is equipped with connectors 1232 that correspond one-to-one with multiple base plates, so that the products on the second platform 121 can be connected synchronously.

[0077] Furthermore, it is known that the above working state is the process of assembling the product. When the product needs to be disassembled, it can be achieved by continuing the reverse operation according to the above steps. Therefore, this application will not elaborate on the disassembly steps.

[0078] To ensure the stability of the assembly process, the bottom of the second transport component 141 is provided with a clamping part for abutting against the upper surface of the cover plate. When the connecting mechanism 123 is working, the electric screwdriver and screw are connected by moving the bottom of the second platform 121 upward. In order to avoid misalignment caused by the base plate, product and cover plate also moving upward during the connection process, the second transport component 141 moves downward and presses the clamping part against the upper surface of the cover plate to limit the top of the base plate, product and cover plate, and ensure that the position of the base plate, product and cover plate remains unchanged during the connection process, thereby ensuring the connection effect.

[0079] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The second transport member 141 includes a first gripper and a second gripper hinged together. The first gripper includes a first end and a second end in the height direction, and the second gripper includes a third end and a fourth end in the height direction. A gripper cylinder is disposed between the first end and the third end. The extension and retraction of the piston rod of the gripper cylinder drives the first end and the third end to move closer or further apart. Similarly, when the first end and the third end move closer together, the second end and the fourth end move further apart, and when the first end and the third end move further apart, the second end and the fourth end move closer together. The second end and the fourth end of the second transport member 141 are used to acquire the cover plate.

[0080] Furthermore, there is a gap in the height direction between the second end and the fourth end. The second end includes a first fixing part and a second fixing part facing the fourth end, with the first fixing part and the second fixing part spaced apart. The bottom of the fourth end has a third fixing part and a fourth fixing part facing the second end, with the third fixing part and the fourth fixing part spaced apart. When the second end and the fourth end approach each other, the third fixing part is located above the first fixing part, and the fourth fixing part is located above the second fixing part. The bottom surfaces of the first fixing part and the second fixing part are the aforementioned abutting parts. When the second transport member 141 abuts against the upper surface of the cover plate, the bottom surface of the first fixing part and the corresponding position on the upper surface of the cover plate are completely fitted together, ensuring the positional limitation effect during abutment.

[0081] In some embodiments, the actuator 120 further includes a detection mechanism 124 disposed on the first frame 110. The detection mechanism 124 is located above the second stage 121. The drive mechanism 122 drives the movement of the second stage 121 to move the second stage 121 directly below the detection mechanism 124. The detection mechanism 124 is used to perform conductivity detection on the assembled product.

[0082] Optionally, multiple actuators 120 are provided on the first frame 110. Multiple sets of actuators 120 can simultaneously continue the assembly and disassembly of products, further improving assembly or disassembly efficiency. Since the second platform 121 is movably arranged along the width direction of the first frame 110, the multiple actuators 120 are spaced apart along the length direction of the first frame 110 to ensure independent operation of each actuator 120. Furthermore, the loading of multiple actuators 120 can be achieved through a first transport device 130 and a first and second transport device 140.

[0083] In some embodiments, a barcode scanning mechanism 150 is also provided on the first frame 110. The barcode scanning mechanism 150 is located on one side of the length direction of the first frame 110. Specifically, the barcode scanning mechanism 150 is located on one side of the length direction of the second transport component 141. Therefore, the second moving component can drive the second transport component 141 to move to the barcode scanning mechanism 150 and scan the assembled product with a barcode scanner.

[0084] In summary, the first transport device 130 and the second transport device 140 have identical structures. Both devices can perform the functions of gripping and transporting materials. Therefore, in actual use, this application does not limit the specific location of the first transport device 130 and the second transport device 140, nor does it strictly limit the materials they acquire and transport. Thus, it can be understood that in actual use, the second transport device 140 can also be used to acquire and transport products; in this case, the first transport device 130 is used to acquire and transport the fixture.

[0085] Reference Figures 1-6 As shown in the illustration, this application embodiment also provides a production line, which includes the disassembly and assembly equipment 100 as described above, and further includes a first loading equipment 200 and a second loading equipment 300. The first loading equipment 200 includes a first robotic arm 211 and multiple products, the first robotic arm 211 being used to transport the products onto a first platform 111. The second loading equipment 300 includes a second robotic arm and multiple fixtures, the second robotic arm being used to transport the fixtures onto a second platform 121.

[0086] The first feeding device 200 feeds the product onto the disassembly and assembly device 100, and the second feeding device 300 feeds the fixture onto the disassembly and assembly device 100 so that the disassembly and assembly device 100 can assemble the product and the fixture.

[0087] Figure 3 This illustration shows an overall structural diagram of a production line provided in an embodiment of this application; Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a first feeding device 200 in a production line provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0088] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The first feeding device 200 includes a first feeding rack 210, on which a first feeding mechanism 212, a first unloading mechanism 213, and a first waiting mechanism 214 are spaced apart, and the first feeding mechanism 212, the first unloading mechanism 213, and the first waiting mechanism 214 have the same structure. In this application, the first feeding mechanism 212 is used as an example to continue the detailed description. The first feeding mechanism 212 includes a first inlet opened on one side of the width direction of the first feeding rack 210, and a first conveyor belt running along the width direction of the first feeding rack 210 is provided on the first inlet. Multiple trays are stacked vertically at the first inlet, and products are placed in the trays. Under the movement of the first conveyor belt, the trays are transported from one side of the width direction of the first feeding rack 210 to the other side of the width direction of the first feeding rack 210.

[0089] The first feeding mechanism 212 also includes a lifting mechanism located at the bottom of the first loading rack 210. The lifting mechanism includes a tray and a tray cylinder located at the bottom of the tray; therefore, the extension and retraction of the tray cylinder piston rod will drive the tray to move up and down reciprocally. The first conveyor belt includes two material belts spaced apart along the length of the first loading rack 210, with a hollow space between the two material belts. The tray is correspondingly located between the two material belts. During the transport of the tray, the tray is located below the first conveyor belt. When the tray moves above the tray, the extension of the tray cylinder piston rod drives the tray to move upward synchronously with the tray, thereby lifting the tray.

[0090] A material distribution mechanism is also provided above the first feeding rack 210. The material distribution mechanism includes a tray-splitting module 215 that slides along the length of the first feeding rack 210. The tray-splitting module 215 is used to divide multiple stacked trays and move the divided trays to the area of ​​the first unloading mechanism 213. The first robot arm 211 is set on the first feeding rack 210. The first robot arm 211 is used to pick up the products on the trays and transport them to the first platform 111. The empty trays after the products are removed are supported by the tray of the first unloading mechanism 213 and can move synchronously with the movement of the tray of the first unloading mechanism 213 so that the empty trays can be stacked on the first unloading mechanism 213.

[0091] When the first feeding device 200 is in disassembly operation, empty material trays are stacked on the conveyor belt of the first waiting mechanism 214, and the empty material trays can move to the top of the first feeding rack 210. The multiple layers of empty material trays are separated by the tray separating module 215. After the trays are separated, the first robot arm 211 picks up the products on the first platform 111 and transports them to the empty material trays. After the empty material trays are filled with products, the tray separating module 215 moves the trays filled with products to the corresponding pallet of the first unloading mechanism 213, and stacks the trays filled with products on the pallet of the first unloading mechanism 213 in sequence. Then, under the action of the pallet of the first unloading mechanism 213 and the conveyor belt, the stacked trays filled with products are sent out.

[0092] Reference Figures 1-4 To facilitate operation, the first loading rack 210 is located on one side of the length direction of the first frame 110, while the first platform 111 is located on the same side of the length direction of the first frame 110, thereby reducing the moving distance of the first robot arm 211, facilitating the transportation of products by the first robot arm 211, and improving the working efficiency of the first robot arm 211. It should be noted that in this application, the first robot arm 211 can be a three-axis robot arm or a four-axis robot arm, whichever meets the actual operation requirements.

[0093] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a second feeding device 300 in a production line according to an embodiment of this application.

[0094] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 The second feeding device 300 includes a second feeding rack 310, which is located on one side of the width direction of the first frame 110. The first feeding rack 310 is provided with a vibratory feeder 311 and a flow channel 312 connected to the outlet of the vibratory feeder 311. The vibratory feeder 311 is provided with a feed inlet, and the fixture is placed in the vibratory feeder 311 through the feed inlet. The vibratory feeder 311 is used to vibrate the fixture and make the fixtures with disordered orientations arranged in a fixed direction and transported in order from the outlet of the vibratory feeder 311 to the flow channel 312. The side of the flow channel 312 away from the vibratory feeder 311 is connected to the staggered feeding module 313. The staggered feeding module 313 is slidably mounted on the second feeding rack 310 in the extension direction perpendicular to the flow channel 312. The second feeding rack 310 is provided with a second feeding displacement drive component 314 for driving the staggered feeding module 313 to move. The fixtures will move sequentially to the staggered feeding module 313 through the flow channel 312. Under the action of the second feeding displacement drive component 314, the staggered feeding module 313 moves a certain position after feeding a fixture, so that there is a position on the staggered feeding module 313 for the staggered placement of fixtures.

[0095] A second robotic arm is installed on the second feeding rack 310. The second robotic arm is used to pick up the fixture from the misaligned feeding module 313 and transport it to the second platform 121 for subsequent operations on the fixture. It can also be understood that in this application, the second robotic arm can be a three-axis robotic arm or a four-axis robotic arm, depending on the actual operation requirements.

[0096] The second loading rack 310 is also equipped with a collection area 315, which has a recycling box 316. Since the fixtures need maintenance after a certain number of uses, the recycling box 316 is used to place the fixtures to be maintained, thus facilitating the unified maintenance of the fixtures in the future. Optionally, the collection area 315 is also equipped with a feeding box. The maintained fixtures can still be used. The maintained fixtures are stacked in the feeding box in sequence. The second robotic arm can directly pick up the fixtures from the feeding box and transport them to the second platform 121 to realize the loading of the fixtures.

[0097] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a production line mounting device 400 provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0098] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 6 The production line also includes a mounting device. The connecting mechanism 123 is used to connect the base plate, the product, and the cover plate to form a finished product. The mounting device 400 is used to mount the finished product. By mounting the assembled product with the mounting device 400, it is helpful to realize subsequent processes such as clamping and testing of the finished product in actual production.

[0099] The production line also includes a transport device 500, which is used to transport the products formed on the disassembly and assembly device 100 to the mounting device 400, thereby realizing automated assembly line operation of products, avoiding the need for manual hanging of the assembled products on the disassembly and assembly device 100 onto the mounting device 400, reducing the labor intensity of technicians and improving work efficiency.

[0100] The mounting device 400 includes a second frame 410, on which a first workbench 430, a fourth platform 420, and a third transport device 440 are mounted. The second frame 410 is located on the opposite side of the length of the first frame 110. The first feeding device 200 and the second frame 410 are respectively located on both sides of the length of the first frame 110 to facilitate the orderly operation of the production line. A guide rod 431 is mounted on the first workbench 430. The fourth platform 420 is used to support the product. The bottom plate and the cover plate are both provided with mounting holes for engaging with the guide rod 431 at corresponding positions. The third transport device 440 includes a third transport component 441 movably disposed between the first workbench 430 and the fourth platform 420. The third transport component 441 is used to pick up the guide rod 431.

[0101] After the third transport component 441 moves to the first workbench 430, it picks up the string rod 431 on the first workbench 430 and transports the string rod 431 to the fourth platform 420. The third transport component 441 drives the movement of the string rod 431 so that the string rod 431 passes through the hanging holes of each product in sequence to hang multiple products on the string rod 431, thereby realizing the hanging of products.

[0102] To ensure the stability of the product after mounting, two mounting holes are spaced apart. The third transport component 441 can transport two rods 431 simultaneously and move them to the fourth platform 420, thus enabling the simultaneous mounting of the two rods 431. For example, the third transport component 441 includes two rod 431 clamps spaced apart, which simultaneously clamp the two rods 431 and ensure their relative position, facilitating subsequent mounting of the product.

[0103] The first workbench 430 is fixedly mounted on the second frame 410. A rod storage box 432 is provided on the first workbench 430, and multiple rods 431 are arranged in an orderly manner inside the rod storage box 432. The third transport device 440 also includes a third support 442, which is fixedly mounted on the second frame 410. The length direction of the third support 442 is parallel to the width direction of the second frame 410. A third platform is provided on the third support 442, and the third platform extends along the length direction of the third support 442. A third moving component for driving the movement of the third platform is provided on the third support 442. The third frame is equipped with a third lifting component, which includes a third cylinder. The third cylinder is vertically mounted and detachably mounted on the third frame by bolts. The piston rod of the third cylinder extends along the height direction of the second frame 410. The piston rod of the third cylinder is equipped with a third cantilever, and two third transport components 441 are mounted on the third cantilever. Therefore, the two third transport components 441 can achieve synchronous lifting and synchronous movement. The two third transport components 441 are spaced apart and are used to clamp the two ends of the connecting rod 431 to ensure the stable transport of the connecting rod 431.

[0104] Similarly, the third transport component 441 can be a robotic arm, which can grasp the connecting rod 431 on the first worktable 430 and drive the connecting rod 431 to move synchronously, thereby realizing loading and unloading. Likewise, the first transport component 131 can also be a gripper, suction cup, or other device capable of acquiring the connecting rod 431 on the first worktable 430. In this application, the first transport component 131 is a gripper to grasp the connecting rod 431.

[0105] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 6The fourth platform 420 is slidably mounted on the second frame 410 along its length. The second frame 410 is provided with a fourth displacement drive assembly 421 for driving the fourth platform 420 to move. Specifically, the second frame 410 is fixedly provided with a fourth slide rail extending along the moving direction of the fourth platform 420. The bottom of the fourth platform 420 is provided with a fourth slide groove for engaging with the fourth slide rail. The fourth displacement drive assembly 421 includes a fourth motor fixedly mounted on the second frame 410 and a fourth lead screw coaxially fixed with the output shaft of the fourth motor. The fourth lead screw is horizontally rotatably mounted on the second frame 410, and the fourth lead screw is threaded through the fourth platform 420 along the moving direction of the fourth platform 420. Therefore, the rotation of the output shaft of the fourth motor drives the synchronous rotation of the fourth lead screw to drive the reciprocating movement of the fourth platform 420.

[0106] The fourth mounting platform 420 is provided with a fourth mounting position, which is used to limit and fix the product on the fourth mounting platform 420, and to facilitate the hanging of the product on the string rod 431, while also ensuring the stability of the product during hanging.

[0107] The second frame 410 is also equipped with a fourth transport device 450, which includes a second lifting assembly, a pitch-changing assembly 452, and a fourth driving component. The second lifting assembly is equipped with a fourth worktable, and a plurality of first actuators 453 are spaced apart on the fourth worktable. The first actuators 453 are used to pick up the products on the transport equipment 500. The second lifting assembly is used to drive the lifting of the fourth worktable. Optionally, the second lifting assembly includes a mounting cylinder, and the fourth worktable is fixedly mounted on the piston rod of the mounting cylinder. Therefore, the second lifting assembly can drive the fourth worktable to move up and down reciprocally.

[0108] A pitch-adjusting assembly 452 is disposed on the fourth worktable and is used to adjust the distance between two adjacent first actuators 453. A fourth driving member is used to drive the fourth worktable to move toward or away from the fourth platform 420. The fourth transport device 450 includes a fourth support 451, which is fixedly disposed on the second frame 410. The length direction of the fourth support 451 is aligned with the width direction of the second frame 410. A second lifting assembly is slidably disposed on the fourth support 451 along its length direction. Similarly, the first actuators 453 include grippers, suction cups, or robotic arms, etc., which are used to grip the products on the transport device 500 and transport them to the fourth platform 420.

[0109] Multiple first actuators 453 are arranged on the fourth worktable. The fourth worktable is also equipped with a pitch-adjusting component 452 for adjusting the distance between two adjacent first actuators 453. The pitch-adjusting component 452 distributes the multiple adjacent products evenly so that they can maintain a uniform spacing when they are subsequently hung on the string rod 431, so as to achieve the automatic clamping and automatic online detection required by Industry 4.0.

[0110] During the mounting process, the second lifting component moves toward the side closer to the transport equipment 500. Then, the second lifting component drives the fourth worktable to descend, and the first actuator 453 clamps the product on the transport equipment 500. The second lifting component drives the fourth worktable to rise, causing the first actuator 453 to rise synchronously. The second lifting component moves toward the side away from the transport equipment 500, and the fourth platform 420 moves synchronously. The second lifting component moves to the position where it intersects with the fourth platform 420, and the second actuator 610 moves down to place the product on the fourth platform 420. Subsequently, the third transport component 441 moves to the storage rod box 432 and clamps two string rods 431. The third transport component 441 moves towards the fourth platform 420, and then moves downward. The fourth platform 420 moves towards the side of the fourth platform 420 closest to the third transport component 441 to hang the products on the two string rods 431. Then, the third transport component 441 closest to the fourth platform 420 releases the string rods 431, and the fourth platform 420 continues to move to hang the products on the string rods 431 in sequence. After the products are hung, the two third transport components 441 can also clamp the two ends of the string rods 431 to move the string rods 431 with the hung products to the next process for subsequent operations.

[0111] Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a flipping device 600 in a production line provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0112] Reference Figures 1-7 The frame is also equipped with a flipping device 600, which includes a fifth platform, a second actuator 610, and a drive assembly 620. The fifth platform is used to carry the product; the second actuator 610 is used to grip the product on the fifth platform; the drive assembly 620 includes a third lifting assembly for driving the second actuator 610 to rise and fall, and a motion assembly for driving the second actuator 610 to move horizontally; the transport device 500 is used to transport the product on the second actuator 610 to the mounting device 400.

[0113] After the base plate, product, and cover plate are assembled in the disassembly and assembly equipment 100, the hanging holes are opened in the vertical direction. In order to facilitate the subsequent hanging of the string rod 431, the product needs to be flipped so that the axis of the hanging holes is in the horizontal direction. The flipping equipment 600 is used to flip the assembled product by 90 degrees to facilitate subsequent operations.

[0114] Specifically, the fifth platform is fixedly mounted on the frame. After scanning, the products are placed on the fifth platform via the first transport device 130 or the second transport device 140. The motion assembly includes a first motion assembly for driving the second actuator 610 to move along the length of the frame, a second motion assembly for driving the second actuator 610 to move along the width of the frame, and a third lifting assembly for driving the second actuator 610 to rise and fall, allowing the second actuator 610 to move freely in three directions. Multiple exemplary second actuators 610 are spaced apart, enabling multiple products to be flipped simultaneously.

[0115] The motion assembly is provided with a motion table 630, and the second actuator 610 is provided on the motion table 630. The motion table 630 is provided with a motion motor, and the output shaft of the motion motor is connected to the second actuator 610. Therefore, the rotation of the output shaft of the motion motor will drive the second actuator 610 to rotate synchronously to realize the flipping of the product.

[0116] During operation, the drive assembly 620 drives the second actuator 610 to move toward the fifth platform and clamps the product on the fifth platform. Then, the second actuator 610 moves upward to remove the product from the fifth platform. Driven by the drive assembly 620, the second actuator 610 moves away from the fifth platform. The motion motor drives the rotation of the second actuator 610 to drive the product to rotate synchronously, thereby realizing the flipping of the product.

[0117] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 6 The production line also includes a transport device 500, which is used to transport the products on the second actuator 610 to the first actuator 453. The transport device 500 includes a conveyor belt 510 arranged in a ring. A motion component drives the second actuator 610 to move the second actuator 610 above the conveyor belt 510. A product carrier 520 is provided on the conveyor belt 510. After the second actuator 610 places the product on the product carrier 520, the product carrier 520 moves synchronously with the movement of the conveyor belt 510 to transport the flipped product to the first actuator 453, so that the product that the first actuator 453 picks up from the transport device 500 is the flipped product, which facilitates the connection between the subsequent product and the connecting rod 431.
