[0023] The opening station mechanism is used instead of manual work to open the tool clamp, under the driving action of the third linear driving component, the push block pushes the push rod to move, so that the two opposite clamping seats can be separated from each other, which is helpful to realize the placement and taking out of the lamp on the clamping seat by the mechanical hand, and further saves the labor cost.

[0043] Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are all within the scope of protection of the present invention. The various technical features of the present invention can be combined interactively without contradicting each other.

[0044] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 9 This invention provides a lamp assembly machine, which includes a lamp installation station and a torsion spring installation device 900. The torsion spring installation device 900 is provided with a lamp assembly station, which can realize the automated assembly of lamps and torsion springs.

[0045] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the lamp installation station includes a rotating plate 100, a tooling fixture 200, a first rotation drive component 300, and a second rotation drive component 400. Multiple tooling fixtures 200 are provided, each connected to the rotating plate 100 and arranged circumferentially around the central axis of the rotating plate 100. The output end of the first rotation drive component 300 is connected to the rotating plate 100. Under the driving action of the first rotation drive component 300, the rotating plate 100 can rotate around the central axis extending in the vertical direction, thereby realizing the positional movement of the tooling fixture 200. The output end of the second rotation drive component 400 is connected to the tooling fixture 200. Under the driving action of the second rotation drive component 400, the tooling fixture 200 can rotate around the central axis extending in the vertical direction, thereby realizing the change of the orientation of the tooling fixture 200.

[0046] In this embodiment, two tooling fixtures 200 are provided, one on the left and one on the right side of the rotating plate 100, respectively. It is understood that the number of tooling fixtures 200 can also be other than that specified here. In this embodiment, the left side of the rotating plate 100 is the lamp feeding position, and the right side is the lamp assembly position. The rotating plate 100 rotates under the driving action of the first rotating drive component 300, thereby causing the lamp originally located on the left side of the rotating plate 100 to rotate to the right side of the rotating plate 100, that is, from the lamp feeding position to the lamp assembly position, for subsequent torsion spring assembly operations.

[0047] Understandably, by setting up multiple tooling fixtures 200, when the lamps on the tooling fixtures 200 at the lamp assembly position are undergoing torsion spring assembly, the tooling fixtures 200 at the lamp feeding position can perform lamp loading operations, thus improving lamp assembly efficiency. Understandably, setting up two tooling fixtures 200 can achieve the above effect. Compared to setting up more tooling fixtures 200, setting up two tooling fixtures 200 can reduce production costs and simplify the overall structure of the lamp installation station.

[0048] Understandably, torsion springs need to be installed on both sides of the lamp. After the torsion spring mounting device 900 completes the torsion spring assembly on one side of the lamp, the fixture 200 rotates under the drive of the second rotary drive component 400, thus changing the direction of the lamp. After the fixture 200 rotates the lamp 180°, the torsion spring mounting device 900 can then assemble the torsion spring on the other side of the lamp. This design eliminates the need for a torsion spring mounting device 900 on each side of the fixture 200, significantly reducing the overall structure of the lamp assembly machine and manufacturing costs.

[0049] Understandably, the use of rotation to transport lamps can significantly reduce the area occupied by the lamp installation station. Moreover, the loading and unloading of lamps can be done at the same location, requiring only the installation of a robotic arm or the arrangement of workers at the lamp feeding position, further reducing costs.

[0050] It is understood that the first rotary drive component 300 can be a servo motor, stepper motor, rotary cylinder, etc., and is not specifically limited here. In this embodiment, the first rotary drive component 300 is a servo motor, which can drive the rotating plate 100 to rotate at a precise angle to ensure that the tooling fixture 200 can be accurately rotated to the lamp assembly position, thereby improving the accuracy of the torsion spring installation.

[0051] In this embodiment, as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the lamp installation station also includes a station bracket. The first rotary drive component 300 has a body and an output shaft. The output shaft of the first rotary drive component 300 extends in the vertical direction and is connected to the rotary plate 100. The body of the first rotary drive component 300 is mounted on the station bracket, which can ensure the stable placement of the first rotary drive component 300.

[0052] In this embodiment, each tooling fixture 200 includes a mounting plate 210, a swing arm 280, and two clamping seats. The swing arm 280 and the two clamping seats are respectively mounted on the mounting plate 210. The mounting plate 210 is connected to the output end of the second rotary drive component 400. The second rotary drive component 400 can drive the mounting plate 210 to rotate around a vertically extending rotation axis, thereby realizing the rotation of the entire tooling fixture 200. The middle part of the swing arm 280 can be rotatably connected to the mounting plate 210 through a pivot, so that the swing arm 280 can rotate relative to the mounting plate 210 around the vertically extending central axis. The two clamps are arranged opposite each other and are movably connected to the two ends of the swing arm 280. The two clamps are used to hold the lamp. The rotation of the swing arm 280 can make the two clamps move closer or further apart. When the two clamps are close to each other, the lamp can be stably placed on the tooling fixture 200 to prevent the lamp from shifting during the installation of the torsion spring. When the two clamps are far apart, the lamp can be easily installed and removed from the tooling fixture 200.

[0053] In this embodiment, the lower ends of the two clamps are respectively provided with sliders 212, and the upper surface of the mounting plate 210 is provided with a slide rail 211. The sliders 212 and the slide rail 211 are slidably connected, that is, the two clamps can move smoothly along the extension direction of the slide rail 211, so that the two clamps can approach each other to clamp the lamp and move away from each other to release the clamping effect on the lamp.

[0054] In this embodiment, two slide rails 211 are provided, both extending in the left-right direction. The two slide rails 211 are respectively located on the front and rear sides of the mounting plate 210. The slider 212 of one clamp is located on the front side of the clamp, while the slider 212 of the other clamp is located on the rear side. The two ends of the swing arm 280 are movably connected to the two sliders 212 respectively. Specifically, the swing arm 280 has an oblong hole, and the clamp has a corresponding screw hole. A bolt is installed, passing through the oblong hole and connecting to the screw hole, thus movably connecting the swing arm 280 to the clamp. Alternatively, a sleeve or bearing can be fitted onto the bolt, with the outer circumferential surface of the sleeve or bearing contacting the inner wall of the oblong hole, resulting in a large and smooth contact surface between the sleeve or bearing and the oblong hole. When the swing arm 280 rotates relative to the mounting plate 210, the two sliders 212 move in opposite directions along the two slide rails 211, thereby bringing the two clamps closer together or further apart.

[0055] Understandably, with this design, when one clamp moves linearly, the other clamp moves simultaneously through the action of the swing arm 280, causing the two clamps to move closer or further apart, while ensuring that the center position of the fixture 200 remains constant. In other words, during the lamp assembly torsion spring operation, the position of the fixture 200 on the rotating plate 100 remains constant. This means that the center position of each lamp placed on the fixture 200 is consistent, i.e., the lamps are concentrically arranged. Therefore, the torsion spring mounting device 900 does not need to be adjusted according to the position of the fixture 200, and the loading robot can automatically place the lamps into the fixture 200 without adjusting the lamp loading position based on the position of the fixture 200, thereby improving overall efficiency.

[0056] In this embodiment, each tooling fixture 200 further includes a first return spring 230. The two ends of the first return spring 230 are connected to two clamping seats, respectively, allowing the two clamping seats to move closer together. It is understood that the number of first return springs 230 is not limited to one. Because of the first return spring 230, when the lamp is held on the two clamping seats, the two clamping seats remain close together under the action of the first return spring 230, thereby improving the clamping effect on the lamp and preventing the lamp from being released due to vibration or other reasons during the torsion spring installation process. Alternatively, it ensures the lamp's stability and prevents it from being thrown off during the rotation of the tooling fixture 200 and the rotating plate 100, further ensuring the accuracy of the torsion spring installation.

[0057] Understandably, the two clamps can be manually controlled to move away from each other to place or remove the lamp. Specifically, during the lamp unloading process, the operator overcomes the action of the first return spring 230 to move the two clamps away from each other, so that the lamp can be removed.

[0058] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the tooling fixture 200 is equipped with a push rod 260. One end of the push rod 260 is connected and fixed to the clamp, while the other end of the push rod 260 extends towards another clamp. The push rod 260 is positioned to provide a good point of force application, allowing people to push the clamp to move. The other clamp moves synchronously due to the connection of the swing arm 280, causing the two clamps to move away from each other.

[0059] Understandably, the two clamps can also be moved away from each other through automated control.

[0060] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 8As shown, the lighting installation station also includes an opening station mechanism 700, where two clamps are automatically controlled to move away from each other. The opening station structure includes a third linear drive component 720 and a push block 710. The output end of the third linear drive component 720 is connected to the push block 710. Under the driving action of the third linear drive component 720, the push block 710 can push the push rod 260 to move, thereby moving the two clamps away from each other.

[0061] Understandably, when the output of the third linear drive component 720 controls the push block 710 to push the push rod 260, the push rod 260 can drive the clamp connected to it to move along the extension direction of the slide rail 211, and drive the swing arm 280 to rotate, further driving the other clamp to move, thereby realizing the mutual separation of the two clamps.

[0062] It is understood that the third linear drive component 720 can be a pneumatic cylinder, an electric cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, etc., without specific limitation. It has a body and an output shaft. In this embodiment, the body of the third linear drive component 720 is connected to the workstation bracket, and the output shaft of the third linear drive component 720 is connected to the push block 710. It is understood that the workstation opening mechanism 700 is located on one side of the lamp feeding position. In this embodiment, the workstation opening mechanism 700 is located on the left side of the rotating plate 100 to open the tooling fixture 200 entering the lamp feeding position.

[0063] Once the two clamps are separated, the lamp to be assembled can be placed onto the two clamps manually or by a robotic arm, or the lamp can be removed from the clamps. After the lamp is placed or removed, the push block 710 separates from the push rod 260 under the driving action of the third linear drive component 720, and the two clamps can move closer to each other under the action of the first return spring 230.

[0064] In some embodiments, such as Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the clamp includes a lamp positioning structure, a connecting rod 240, and a placement plate 220. The placement plate 220 is movably connected to the swing arm 280. The lamp positioning structure is connected to the upper end of the connecting rod 240, and the lower end of the connecting rod 240 is connected to the upper surface of the placement plate 220. In this embodiment, a slider 212 is disposed below the placement plate 220 and connected to the lower surface of the placement plate 220, thereby achieving a movable connection between the placement plate 220 and the swing arm 280. In this embodiment, the two ends of the first return spring 230 are respectively connected to the two opposite placement plates 220.

[0065] Understandably, the placement plate 220 is used to place the lamp, and the lamp positioning structure can fix the outer wall of the lamp, thereby preventing the lamp from moving or rotating on the placement plate 220 and ensuring the accuracy of the torsion spring installation.

[0066] In this embodiment, the lamp positioning structure is a positioning rod 250, and the upper end of the connecting rod 240 is connected to the positioning rod 250. It is understood that a third connecting plate 241 can be provided at the upper end of the connecting rod 240 for mounting the positioning rod 250. The positioning rods 250 on the placement plate 220 extend towards another placement plate 220, and their number and shape can be changed according to the shape of the lamp.

[0067] In this embodiment, each clamp is provided with two connecting rods 240 and two positioning rods 250. The two connecting rods 240 are respectively connected to the front and rear sides of the placement plate 220, and the two positioning rods 250 are respectively installed on the front and rear sides of the third connecting plate 241. The two positioning rods 250 are symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the swing arm 280. In this embodiment, the two positioning rods 250 are arranged symmetrically front and rear.

[0068] Understandably, the lamp fixture has outwardly protruding bosses at the positions where the torsion spring is installed, and a tooling fixture 200 has a total of four positioning rods 250, which can connect with the side walls of the four positions of the lamp fixture and apply a snap-fit ​​limiting effect to the bosses of the lamp fixture, thereby fixing the lamp fixture and ensuring the stable placement of the lamp fixture on the placement plate 220, preventing the lamp fixture from rotating on the placement plate 220 and affecting the installation accuracy of the torsion spring.

[0069] In other embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the lamp positioning structure uses a positioning plate 290 instead of a positioning rod 250. The lower surface of the positioning plate 290 is connected to the connecting rod 240, allowing the positioning plate 290 to be mounted on the placement plate 220. The positioning plate 290 has a positioning groove 291, which faces the opening of another clamp. It is understood that... Figure 5 The first return spring 230 and other structures are omitted in this embodiment. In actual application, the two opposite placement plates 220 are also connected by the first return spring 230.

[0070] Understandably, the lamp has an outwardly protruding boss at the position for installing the torsion spring. The positioning groove 291 can engage with the boss on the lamp to fix the lamp in place and prevent the lamp from rotating on the placement plate 220, which would affect the installation accuracy of the torsion spring.

[0071] In some embodiments, the connecting rod 240 and the placement plate 220 are movably connected, and the position of the connecting rod 240 on the placement plate 220 can be adjusted. In this embodiment, a row of adjustment holes 221 is provided on the front and rear sides of the placement plate 220, and each row of adjustment holes 221 has multiple adjustment holes 221. The adjustment holes 221 are arranged in the left-right direction. The connecting rod 240 is installed at one of the adjustment holes 221 by bolts or other connecting parts. That is, the position of the lamp positioning structure can be adjusted, and the distance between the two lamp positioning structures on the relative clamp can be changed, thereby enabling the positioning of lamps of different sizes and specifications, making it more versatile.

[0072] It is understandable that the adjustability of the lamp positioning structure can also be achieved in other ways. For example, an adjusting screw extending in the left-right direction can be provided on the placement plate 220, and an adjusting nut that cooperates with the adjusting screw can be provided at the lower end of the connecting rod 240. When the adjusting screw is rotated, the adjusting nut can move along the extension direction of the adjusting screw, thereby changing the position of the lamp positioning structure.

[0073] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the tooling fixture 200 is provided with a rotating rod 270, and the rotating plate 100 is provided with a rotating hole. The rotating rod 270 passes through the rotating hole and is rotatably connected to the wall of the rotating hole. It can be understood that the rotating hole passes through the upper and lower surfaces of the rotating plate 100. In this embodiment, the upper end of the rotating rod 270 is connected to the mounting plate 210. The rotating rod 270 extends in the vertical direction. By restricting the rotating rod 270, the tooling fixture 200 cannot move on the rotating plate 100, thereby fixing the position of the tooling fixture 200 on the rotating plate 100. However, since the rotating rod 270 and the wall of the rotating hole can rotate relative to each other, the tooling fixture 200 can rotate around the central axis of the rotating rod 270, thereby changing the direction of the tooling fixture 200 and thus changing the direction of the lamp.

[0074] In some embodiments, each tooling fixture 200 is configured with a second rotary drive component 400, and each tooling fixture 200 is driven by a second rotary drive component 400 to realize the reversal of the tooling fixture 200. It is understood that since the tooling fixture 200 can rotate with the rotating plate 100 under the driving action of the first rotary drive component 300, the second rotary drive component 400 also needs to rotate with the rotating plate 100, which may cause the second rotary drive component 400 to have winding problems, and will also increase the load on the first rotary drive component 300.

[0075] In this embodiment, as Figure 1As shown, there is one second rotary drive component 400, and it is located below the rotating rod 270. The lamp mounting station also includes a clutch structure 500. The output end of the second rotary drive component 400 is connected to the rotating rod 270 via the clutch structure 500.

[0076] Understandably, by setting up the clutch structure 500, each tooling fixture 200 can be connected and disconnected from the same second rotary drive component 400. Therefore, only one second rotary drive component 400 needs to be set below the lamp assembly position. When the tooling fixture 200 rotates to the lamp assembly position, the clutch structure 500 connects the second rotary drive component 400 and the rotating rod 270 of the work fixture, allowing the second rotary drive component 400 to drive the rotating rod 270 to rotate. This eliminates the need to configure a second rotary drive component 400 for each tooling fixture 200, further reducing costs. Moreover, since the second rotary drive component 400 does not rotate with the rotating plate 100, the load on the first rotary drive component 300 when the rotating plate 100 rotates is reduced, increasing the service life of the first rotary drive component 300. It also avoids the winding problem of the second rotary drive component 400.

[0077] It is understood that the second rotary drive component 400 can be a stepper motor, servo motor, rotary cylinder, etc., without specific limitations. It has a body and an output shaft. The output shaft of the second rotary drive component 400 is connected to the clutch mechanism, and the body of the second rotary drive component 400 is mounted on the workstation bracket.

[0078] In some embodiments, the clutch structure 500 can be an electromagnetic clutch. After the rotating plate 100 rotates to its position, the electromagnetic clutch is energized, causing the output end of the second rotary drive component 400 to connect with the rotating rod 270, so that the rotating rod 270 drives the tooling fixture 200 to rotate under the driving action of the second rotary drive component 400. After the electromagnetic clutch is de-energized, the connection between the second rotary drive component 400 and the rotating rod 270 is canceled, and then the rotating plate 100 can rotate.

[0079] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the clutch structure 500 is a pneumatic gripper 510. The pneumatic gripper 510 is an existing product, and those skilled in the art should understand its structure and working principle; therefore, it will not be described in detail here. The pneumatic gripper 510 has two gripping fingers 520, which can be controlled to move closer or further apart, thereby enabling the pneumatic gripper 510 to release or clamp the rotating rod 270. The pneumatic gripper 510 is mounted on the output end of the second rotary drive component 400.

[0080] In this embodiment, the two gripping fingers 520 of the pneumatic gripper 510 are placed in the left-right direction, that is, the opening between the two gripping fingers 520 faces the front-back direction. When the rotating plate 100 rotates, the rotating rod 270 can directly enter between the two gripping fingers 520, which can prevent the rotating plate 100 from not rotating properly due to the interference of the rotating rod 270 with the pneumatic gripper 510.

[0081] In this embodiment, the lower end of the rotating rod 270 is provided with clamping surfaces 271 on both sides that contact the gripping fingers 520 of the pneumatic gripper 510. The clamping surfaces 271 are planar, which can increase the contact area between the rotating rod 270 and the gripping fingers 520, thereby improving the clamping stability of the pneumatic gripper 510.

[0082] In other embodiments, the clutch structure 500 includes a connecting block and a fourth linear drive component. The lower end of the rotating rod 270 is provided with a bayonet that cooperates with the connecting block. The output end of the fourth linear drive component is connected to the connecting block to drive the connecting block to move and achieve engagement or disengagement with the bayonet. It is understood that the shape of the bayonet matches the shape of the connecting block. Under the driving action of the second rotary drive component 400, the connecting block can drive the tooling fixture 200 to rotate through mutual restraint with the bayonet.

[0083] Understandably, the bayonet can be located on the lower surface of the rotating rod 270 and open downwards. The fourth linear drive component can drive the connecting block to move up and down, so that the connecting block can be engaged in or disengaged from the bayonet. Of course, the bayonet should be non-circular, such as square or cross-shaped, to ensure that the rotating rod 270 can rotate with the connecting block when it rotates.

[0084] Understandably, the bayonet can also be set on the side wall of the rotating rod 270, and the fourth linear drive component can drive the connecting block to move in the horizontal direction, so that the connecting block can be engaged into or disengaged from the bayonet.

[0085] It is understood that the fourth linear drive component has a body and an output shaft. The body of the fourth drive component is connected to the output shaft of the second linear drive component 640, and the output shaft of the fourth linear drive component is connected to the connecting block. The fourth linear drive component can be an electric cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, etc., and no specific limitation is made here.

[0086] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 7As shown, the lamp installation station also includes a side positioning mechanism 600 for positioning the rotating plate 100. Specifically, the side wall of the rotating plate 100 is provided with a first positioning hole 131. The side positioning mechanism 600 includes a first positioning pin 630 and a first linear drive component 610. The first positioning pin 630 is slidably connected to the wall of the first positioning hole 131. The output end of the first linear drive component 610 is connected to the first positioning pin 630. Under the driving action of the first linear drive component 610, the first positioning pin 630 can be inserted into or disengaged from the first positioning hole 131.

[0087] It is understood that the first linear drive component 610 can be an electric cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, etc., and no specific limitation is made here. The first linear drive component 610 has a body and an output shaft. The body of the first linear drive component 610 is mounted on a workstation bracket, and the output shaft is connected to the first positioning pin 630.

[0088] Understandably, when the first positioning pin 630 is inserted into the first positioning hole 131, the side positioning mechanism 600 is connected to the rotating plate 100, thereby enabling the positioning of the rotating plate 100 and ensuring that the rotating plate 100 rotates to the correct position, thus avoiding the rotation of the rotating plate 100 during the installation of the torsion spring from affecting the accuracy of the torsion spring installation.

[0089] In this embodiment, a positioning sleeve 130 is provided on the side wall of the rotating plate 100, and a first positioning hole 131 is provided on the positioning sleeve 130. There are two positioning sleeves 130, which are respectively provided on the lower side of the two tooling fixtures 200, that is, on the left and right sides of the rotating plate 100. Each positioning sleeve 130 is provided with two first positioning holes 131. The side positioning mechanism 600 is provided on the right side of the rotating plate 100, that is, below the lamp assembly position. There are two first positioning pins 630. The output end of the first linear drive component 610 is connected to the first connecting plate 620, and the two first positioning pins 630 are respectively installed on the first connecting plate 620.

[0090] Under the driving action of the first linear drive component 610, the first connecting plate 620 and the first positioning pin 630 connected thereto move to the left, so that the first positioning pin 630 is inserted into the first positioning hole 131, thereby connecting the first positioning pin 630 with the rotating plate 100, or move to the right, so that the first positioning pin 630 is withdrawn from the first positioning hole 131, thereby separating the first positioning pin 630 from the rotating plate 100.

[0091] It is understood that the number and shape of the first positioning pins 630 and the first positioning holes 131 are not specifically limited here. Setting multiple first positioning pins 630 can further prevent the rotating plate 100 from rotating during the installation of the torsion spring, ensuring the accuracy of the torsion spring installation. In addition, the side positioning mechanism 600 can also be set on the left side of the rotating plate 100.

[0092] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, a second positioning pin 110 and a second return spring 120 are also provided below the rotating plate 100. The tooling fixture 200 is provided with a second positioning hole, and the rotating plate 100 is provided with a third positioning hole. The second positioning hole and the third positioning hole are vertically opposite and connected. The second positioning pin 110 passes through the third positioning hole and the second positioning hole in the vertical direction and is slidably connected with the hole walls of the second positioning hole and the third positioning hole. The second positioning pin 110 extends downward to the bottom of the rotating plate 100. The upper end of the second return spring 120 is connected to the lower surface of the rotating plate 100, and the lower end is connected to the side wall of the second positioning pin 110. The second return spring 120 provides an upward pulling force to the second positioning pin 110 to maintain the connection between the second positioning pin 110 and the rotating plate 100, and to allow the second positioning pin 110 to automatically insert upward into the second positioning hole.

[0093] Understandably, under the constraint of the second positioning pin 110, the relative position between the tooling fixture 200 and the rotating plate 100 remains unchanged. Furthermore, the tooling fixture 200 cannot rotate relative to the rotating plate 100, preventing rotation during the torsion spring installation process and ensuring the accuracy of the torsion spring installation. Pulling the second positioning pin 110 downwards allows it to disengage from the second positioning hole, separating it from the tooling fixture 200. This releases the constraint of the second positioning pin 110 on the tooling fixture 200. Under the driving action of the second rotary drive component 400, the tooling fixture 200 can rotate relative to the rotating plate 100, thus changing the direction of the lamp. After releasing the second positioning pin 110, it moves upwards under the action of the second return spring 120 and returns to its position within the second positioning hole, thereby restoring the constraint on the tooling fixture 200.

[0094] In this embodiment, a second connecting plate 112 is provided on the side wall of the second positioning pin 110. The second connecting plate 112 is located below the rotating plate 100, and the lower end of the second return spring 120 is connected to the upper surface of the second connecting plate 112, thereby realizing the connection between the lower end of the second return spring 120 and the side wall of the second positioning pin 110. It can be understood that the second connecting plate 112 is provided with a through hole penetrating through the upper and lower surfaces, and the rotating rod 270 can pass through the through hole and extend to the lower part of the second connecting plate 112, avoiding interference of the second connecting plate 112 with the rotating rod 270.

[0095] It is understood that the second return spring 120 can be sleeved on the outer wall of the second positioning pin 110, or on the outer wall of the rotating rod 270, or directly connected to the rotating plate 100 and the second connecting plate 112. It is understood that when the second return spring 120 is sleeved on the outer wall of the second positioning pin 110 or the outer wall of the rotating rod 270, the second positioning pin 110 or the rotating rod 270 can guide the second return spring 120, ensuring that the second return spring 120 extends or compresses in the vertical direction.

[0096] In this embodiment, each tooling fixture 200 is provided with two second positioning holes, and each tooling fixture 200 is movably connected to two second positioning pins 110, further ensuring the limiting effect of the second positioning pins 110 on the tooling fixture 200 and preventing the tooling fixture 200 from rotating relative to the rotating plate 100. It is understood that the number of second positioning pins 110 connected to each tooling fixture 200 can be one or more, and the shape of the second positioning pins 110 and the second positioning holes is not specifically limited here.

[0097] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, the side positioning mechanism 600 is located on the right side of the rotating plate 100, that is, the second rotary drive component 400 is located between the first rotary drive component 300 and the side positioning mechanism 600. The side positioning mechanism 600 also includes a second linear drive component 640 and a connector. The output end of the second linear drive component 640 is connected to the connector, and the connector can engage with the second positioning pin 110. Under the driving action of the second linear drive component 640, the connector can drive the second positioning pin 110 to move in the up and down direction, control the second positioning pin 110 to move downward and disengage from the second positioning hole, and release the second positioning pin 110 from the tooling fixture 200.

[0098] In this embodiment, the second linear drive component 640 is mounted on the output end of the first linear drive component 610. The second linear drive component 640 has a body and an output shaft. The body of the second linear drive component 640 is connected to the first connecting plate 620, while the output shaft of the second linear drive component 640 is connected to the connector. Under the driving action of the first linear drive component 610, the second linear drive component 640 moves in the left-right direction, thereby approaching or moving away from the second positioning pin 110. The output shaft of the second linear drive component 640 can drive the connector to move up and down, enabling the connector to connect or separate from the second positioning pin 110.

[0099] In this embodiment, the connecting component is a clutch pull fork 650. A positioning pin pull ring 111 is provided at the lower end of the second positioning pin 110. The clutch pull fork 650 is positioned near the side opening of the second positioning pin 110 to form a latch, which can engage with the positioning pin pull ring 111 of the second positioning pin 110. Under the driving action of the first linear drive component 610, the clutch pull fork 650 can engage with the upper side of the positioning pin pull ring 111, achieving connection with the second positioning pin 110. Since the upper surface of the positioning pin pull ring 111 abuts against the lower surface of the clutch pull fork 650, when the second linear drive component 640 drives the clutch pull fork 650 to move downwards, the clutch pull fork 650 can pull the positioning pin pull ring 111 downwards, causing the second positioning pin 110 to disengage from the second positioning hole, thereby separating the second positioning pin 110 from the tooling fixture 200.

[0100] In this embodiment, the positioning pin pull ring 111 is disposed below the second connecting plate 112. The distance between the upper surface of the positioning pin pull ring 111 and the lower surface of the second connecting plate 112 is greater than or equal to the thickness of the clutch pull fork 650. The clutch pull fork 650 is inserted between the positioning pin pull ring 111 and the second connecting plate 112.

[0101] In other embodiments, the lower end of the second positioning pin 110 is provided with a locking hole, and the connecting member is a pin. Under the driving action of the first linear drive component 610, the pin can be directly inserted into the locking hole to achieve connection with the second positioning pin 110. Due to the mutual restriction between the locking hole and the pin, under the driving action of the second linear drive component 640, the pin can drive the second positioning pin 110 to move downward, so that the second positioning pin 110 disengages from the second positioning hole.

[0102] It is understood that the second linear drive component 640 can be an electric cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, etc., and no specific limitation is made here.

[0103] In this embodiment, as Figure 9As shown, the lighting assembly machine also includes a torsion spring feeding device 910. The torsion spring mounting device 900 is provided with a torsion spring feeding position. The torsion spring feeding device 910 is used to transport the torsion spring to the torsion spring feeding position to realize the automated feeding of the torsion spring and further improve the automation level of lighting assembly.

[0104] In this embodiment, the torsion spring mounting device 900 includes a torsion spring clamping component and a clamping drive component. The output end of the clamping drive component is connected to the torsion spring clamping component. Under the driving action of the clamping drive component, the torsion spring clamping component can clamp the torsion spring from the torsion spring feeding position and transport the torsion spring to the lamp assembly position for assembly.

[0105] Understandably, the lighting assembly machine includes a main support 800, a body of the third linear drive component 720, a workstation support, a torsion spring feeding device 910, and a torsion spring mounting device 900, all mounted on the upper surface of the main support 800 to ensure stable placement of each component. Understandably, components mounted on the workstation support, such as the bodies of the first rotary drive component 300 and the second rotary drive component 400, and the side positioning mechanism 600, can be directly mounted on the main support 800, eliminating the need for a separate workstation support.

[0106] In this embodiment, the lower end of the main support 800 is provided with casters 810, which facilitates the movement of the entire lighting assembly machine to a suitable position. Additionally, the lower end of the main support 800 is also provided with universal feet 820, which have high load-bearing capacity and can be tilted, rotated, and adjusted in all directions to ensure the balance of the lighting assembly machine. In this embodiment, four casters 810 and four universal feet 820 are provided, with the four casters 810 and four universal feet 820 respectively located at the four ends of the main support 800 to ensure its balance. It is understood that other numbers of casters 810 and universal feet 820 can also be used, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0107] Alternatively, a pressure block and a lifting mechanism can be provided. The output end of the lifting mechanism is connected to the upper end of the pressure block. Driven by the lifting mechanism, the pressure block moves downward and presses down on the lamp located at the lamp assembly position to further fix the position of the lamp. The lifting mechanism can be an electric cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder, etc., and is not specifically limited here.

[0108] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, but the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described. Those skilled in the art can make various equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and these equivalent modifications or substitutions are all included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
