Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of automation equipment technology, and in particular to a blanking die and an automated assembly equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In the automated assembly process of rapid test kits, a conveyor transports the bottom shell of the kit to the punching die. A limiting device restricts the position of the bottom shell to a predetermined area. The punching die punches out round paper pieces from the reagent strip. The round paper pieces fall into the round plate groove of the bottom shell. The conveyor transports the bottom shell with the round paper pieces to the next process for the remaining assembly, such as assembling the top cover on the bottom shell.

[0003] Currently, the limiting device includes a limiting component and a cylinder. The cylinder drives the limiting component to move to a predetermined position to limit the position of the bottom shell on the conveyor's bearing surface. In order to limit movement in multiple directions, multiple limiting components and cylinders are required, resulting in a large space occupied by the limiting device. Consequently, on the conveyor's transport path, only one bottom shell can be assembled at a single assembly station, leading to low efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Embodiments of this application provide a blanking die and an automated assembly equipment, reducing the space occupied by the limiting device.

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, embodiments of this application disclose the following technical solutions:

[0006] On the one hand, a blanking die is provided, including an upper die assembly, a pressing part, a lower die assembly, a guide part, and a limiting part.

[0007] The pressing member is disposed on the upper die assembly and located between the upper die assembly and the lower die assembly. The upper die assembly can move relative to the lower die assembly so that after the pressing member elastically presses the strip conveyed by the take-up and unwinding device against the lower die assembly, it cooperates with the lower die assembly to cut off the pre-shaped assembly part from the strip.

[0008] The guide is disposed on the lower mold assembly and extends along the first direction for sliding cooperation with the product conveyed by the conveyor along the first direction.

[0009] The limiting member is provided on the pressing member. When the pressing member elastically presses the strip against the lower mold assembly, the limiting member is used to block the product that slides with the guide part in the first direction, so as to limit the position of the product in the first direction, thereby allowing the product to receive the assembly part.

[0010] In addition to one or more of the features disclosed above, or as an alternative, the guide portion has a first limiting surface and a second limiting surface, the first limiting surface and the second limiting surface are disposed opposite to each other along a second direction and form a receiving space, the receiving space extends through the lower mold assembly along the first direction and is used to receive the product, the second direction being perpendicular to the first direction.

[0011] In addition to one or more of the features disclosed above, or as an alternative, the guide portion is a groove, which is disposed on the side of the lower mold assembly away from the upper mold assembly, and the first limiting surface and the second limiting surface respectively form the sidewalls of the groove.

[0012] In addition to one or more of the features disclosed above, or as an alternative, the number of limiting members is at least two, the two limiting members are spaced apart in the first direction, and when the pressing member elastically presses the strip against the lower mold assembly, one limiting member is used to abut against one side of the product that slides with the guide in the first direction, and the other limiting member is used to abut against the other side of the product that slides with the guide in the first direction.

[0013] In addition to one or more of the features disclosed above, or alternatively, the blanking die includes a drive component. A limiting member is movably connected to a pressing member such that the two limiting members can move relative to each other in a first direction. The drive component is used to drive the two limiting members to move closer together after the pressing member elastically presses the strip against the lower die assembly.

[0014] In addition to one or more of the features disclosed above, or alternatively, the blanking die includes an elastic element; wherein the two limiting elements are a first limiting element and a second limiting element. The first limiting element is slidably engaged with a pressing element in a first direction, a driving element is used to drive the first limiting element toward the second limiting element, and the elastic element is configured to apply a spring force to the first limiting element to drive the first limiting element away from the second limiting element when the driving element is not driving the first limiting element.

[0015] In addition to one or more of the features disclosed above, or as an alternative, the blanking die includes a pusher, which is disposed at the driving end of the driving member. The pusher, the first limiting member, and the second limiting member are arranged sequentially along a first direction. The driving member is used to drive the pusher to move along the first direction so that the pusher pushes against the first limiting member.

[0016] In addition to one or more of the features disclosed above, or as an alternative, there are multiple guides spaced apart along a second direction that intersects with the first direction, and each guide is used to slide with a product along the first direction; a limiting member is used to abut against each product that slides with the guide along the first direction.

[0017] On the other hand, an automated assembly device is further disclosed, including a conveyor, a take-up and unwinding device, and a blanking die. The conveyor is used to transport products along a first predetermined path; the take-up and unwinding device is used to continuously transport the material strip along a second predetermined path; the blanking die is any of the above-mentioned blanking dies, and the blanking die is set corresponding to the first predetermined path.

[0018] In addition to one or more of the features disclosed above, or as an alternative, the second predetermined path intersects with the first predetermined path.

[0019] In addition to one or more of the features disclosed above, or as an alternative, there are multiple blanking dies and take-up / unwinding devices, and the number of each die is equal and corresponds one-to-one. Each blanking die is used to cut a pre-shaped assembly part from the strip conveyed by the corresponding take-up / unwinding device.

[0020] One of the above technical solutions has the following advantages or beneficial effects:

[0021] In this technical solution, the guide unit slides in conjunction with the product conveyed by the conveyor along a first direction, giving the product only a degree of freedom in that first direction. Driven by the upper mold assembly, a limiting component restricts the product's degree of freedom along the first direction. This limiting device reduces the use of a driver, thereby reducing the space occupied by the limiting device.

[0022] In technical solutions with multiple guide sections, multiple products can be assembled simultaneously, improving assembly efficiency. Attached Figure Description

Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature being directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature being directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0035] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of the automated assembly equipment of this application.

[0036] An automated assembly device is disclosed for automated assembly. In one application scenario, the object of automated assembly is a rapid test kit. The rapid test kit includes a base, a test strip disposed in a mounting slot in the base, and a top cover. After assembling the test strip onto the base, the automated assembly device applies reagent to the test strip, and then assembles the top cover onto the base. The automated assembly device is described below using a rapid test kit as an example. Of course, the automated assembly device is not limited to assembling rapid test kits; it can also assemble other objects.

[0037] The automated assembly equipment includes a conveyor 300. The conveyor 300 is used to transport products 123 (see...) along a first predetermined path. Figure 3 Product 123 is the bottom shell of the rapid test kit. The conveyor 300 is, for example, a belt conveyor or a fork conveyor. The conveyor 300 simultaneously transports multiple products 123. The conveyor 300 has multiple transport channels, each capable of continuously transporting products 123. The multiple transport channels are arranged at intervals. In the illustrated embodiment, the conveyor 300 can simultaneously transport twelve products 123 to a predetermined position on a first predetermined path.

[0038] The automated assembly equipment also includes a feeding component 400, multiple assembly components 500 (two shown in the figure), a first detection component 600, a dripping component 700, a second detection component 800, and a rejection component 900 arranged sequentially along a first predetermined path.

[0039] The loading assembly 400 is used to place the product 123 onto the conveyor 300. In one embodiment, the loading assembly 400 includes a robotic arm and a plurality of vacuum suction cups disposed at the drive end of the robotic arm.

[0040] Multiple assembly components 500 are spaced apart along a first predetermined path to stagger each other, thereby making more efficient use of space. Each assembly component 500 is used to assemble the part 122 to be assembled (see... Figure 3 The assembly is applied to product 123. The part to be assembled 122 is the test paper of the rapid test kit. In the illustrated embodiment, one assembly component 500 acts on product 123 in six transport channels, and another assembly component 500 acts on product 123 in another six transport channels.

[0041] Please refer to the following: Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of the blanking die 100 and the winding and unwinding device 200 of this application.

[0042] Each assembly component 500 includes a blanking die 100 and a winding / unwinding device 200.

[0043] The blanking die 100 corresponds to the first predetermined path setting.

[0044] The unwinding / rewinding device 200 is used to continuously convey the material strip 121 along a second predetermined path. Specifically, the unwinding / rewinding device 200 may include an unwinding component and a winding component. The unwinding component and the winding component are respectively disposed on both sides of the conveyor 300. The unwinding component is used to unwind the material strip 121, and the winding component is used to wind the material strip 121. The second predetermined path intersects with the first predetermined path. Specifically, the second predetermined path is perpendicular to the first predetermined path. Compared to the second predetermined path being parallel to the first predetermined path, the second predetermined path being perpendicular to the first predetermined path is more advantageous for shortening the length of the first predetermined path. In this embodiment, the unwinding / rewinding device 200 simultaneously conveys two material strips 121, and the two material strips 121 are of different colors.

[0045] The strip 121 conveyed by the take-up and unwinding device 200 passes through the punching die 100. The punching die 100 is used to cut out a predetermined shape of the assembly part 122 from the strip 121 conveyed by the take-up and unwinding device 200. The assembly part 122 is a test paper.

[0046] The number of assembly components 500 can also be one. In an embodiment where the number of assembly components 500 is one, the assembly component 500 acts on the product 123 in the twelve conveying channels.

[0047] The specific structure of the assembly component 500 for assembling the part to be assembled 122 onto the product 123 is described in detail below.

[0048] The first detection component 600 is used to detect whether the part to be assembled 122 is successfully assembled onto the product 123, for example, whether the position of the part to be assembled 122 on the product 123 is accurate. The first detection component 600 is, for example, a CCD (Charge-coupled Device) camera. The first detection component 600 sends the detection result to the controller (not shown).

[0049] The droplet assembly 700 is used to drip a solution onto the assembly section 122. The solution is a test reagent. The test paper serves as a carrier for the test reagent.

[0050] The second detection component 800 is used to detect whether the solution has been successfully dripped onto the assembly part 122. The second detection component 800 is, for example, a CCD camera. The second detection component 800 sends the detection result to the controller.

[0051] The rejection component 900 is connected to the controller and is used to reject unsuccessfully assembled products 123 based on the detection results of the first detection component 600 and the second detection component 800 under the control of the controller.

[0052] Downstream of the discarded component 900, a workstation can be set up to further assemble product 123.

[0053] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 3 yes Figure 2 The front view of section AA in the image. Figure 4 yes Figure 2 A three-dimensional sectional view of section AA in the image.

[0054] The blanking die 100 includes an upper die assembly 101, a pressing member 103, and a lower die assembly 105. The pressing member 103 is disposed on the upper die assembly 101 and located between the upper die assembly 101 and the lower die assembly 105. The upper die assembly 101 is movable relative to the lower die assembly 105 so that after the pressing member 103 elastically presses the strip 121 conveyed by the take-up and unwinding device 200 against the lower die assembly 105, it cooperates with the lower die assembly 105 to cut a predetermined shape of the assembly part 122 from the strip 121.

[0055] Specifically, the upper mold assembly 101 includes an upper mold base 131 and multiple sets (six sets) of punches 133 disposed on the upper mold base 131. The multiple sets of punches 133 are arranged at intervals in the second direction 119. Each set of punches 133 corresponds to one product 123. In this embodiment, each product 123 needs to be assembled with seven parts 122, therefore, each set of punches 133 has seven punches 133. Specifically, the seven punches 133 in each set of punches 133 are arranged at intervals in the first direction 109.

[0056] The lower die assembly 105 includes a lower die base 139 and multiple sets of holes 141 disposed on the lower die base 139. Each hole 141 penetrates the lower die base 139 in the vertical direction shown in the figure. Each hole 141 corresponds to a punch 133, and the shape and size of each hole 141 match the corresponding punch 133 so that the punch 133 can punch the part to be assembled 122 off the strip 121.

[0057] The pressing member 103 is located between the upper mold base 131 and the lower mold base 139. The elastic member 137 elastically abuts against the pressing member 103 and the upper mold base 131. The fastener 135 passes through the pressing member 103 and is locked to the upper mold base 131. The pressing member 103 can overcome the elastic force of the elastic member 137 and move relative to the upper mold base 131 in a third direction 120.

[0058] The strip 121 passes between the pressing member 103 and the lower die assembly 105. When the upper die assembly 101 moves toward the lower die assembly 105 in the opposite direction of the third direction 120, the pressing member 103 moves toward the lower die assembly 105 under the action of the upper die assembly 101. After the pressing member 103 presses the strip 121 against the lower die base 139 of the lower die assembly 105, the upper die assembly 101 continues to move toward the lower die assembly 105, so that the punch 133 engages with the corresponding hole 141 to punch out the part to be assembled 122.

[0059] The blanking die 100 also includes a limiting component to limit the position of the product 123 so that the product 123 is in a predetermined position to receive the assembly part 122. Specifically, the conveyor 300 has a bearing surface for carrying the product 123. The limiting component limits the position of the product 123 in a first direction 109 and a second direction 119. The first direction 109 is parallel to the bearing surface, the second direction 119 is parallel to the bearing surface, and the first direction 109 and the second direction 119 intersect, specifically, the first direction 109 and the second direction 119 are perpendicular. In addition, a third direction 120 is perpendicular to the bearing surface. When the blanking die 100 is in use, the first direction 109 and the second direction 119 are both horizontal, and the third direction 120 is vertical.

[0060] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 5 yes Figure 2 A three-dimensional sectional view of the BB section in the image.

[0061] The limiting assembly includes multiple grooves 107, a first limiting member 111, a second limiting member 113, an elastic member 127, an abutment member 129, and a driving member 125. The groove 107 is an example of a guide portion.

[0062] A groove 107 is disposed on the side of the lower mold assembly 105 opposite to the upper mold assembly 101 and extends along a first direction 109. The groove 107 is used to slide and engage with the product 123 conveyed by the conveyor 300 along the first direction 109. A plurality of grooves 107 are spaced apart along a second direction 119. Each groove 107 is used to slide and engage with one product 123 along the first direction 109. The pair of sidewalls of the groove 107 in the second direction 119 are a first limiting surface 115 and a second limiting surface 117, respectively. The first limiting surface 115 and the second limiting surface 117 are arranged opposite to each other along the second direction 119 and form a receiving space. The receiving space extends through the lower mold assembly 105 along the first direction 109 and is used to receive the product 123.

[0063] After the product 123 conveyed by the conveyor 300 enters the groove 107, it is blocked by the first limiting surface 115 and the second limiting surface 117 in the second direction 119, and the position of the product 123 in the second direction 119 is limited.

[0064] A first limiting member 111 and a second limiting member 113 are disposed on the pressing member 103. The first limiting member 111 and the second limiting member 113 are spaced apart in a first direction 109. The first limiting member 111 is slidably engaged with the pressing member 103 along the first direction 109. An elastic member 127 elastically abuts against the pressing member 103 and the first limiting member 111. The first limiting member 111 and the second limiting member 113 are capable of relative movement along the first direction 109.

[0065] Before the upper mold assembly 101 approaches the lower mold assembly 105, the first limiting member 111 and the second limiting member 113 do not obstruct the product 123 in the first direction 109. When the pressing member 103 elastically presses the strip 121 against the lower mold assembly 105, the first limiting member 111 blocks one side of the product 123 in the first direction 109, and the second limiting member 113 blocks the other side of the product 123 in the first direction 109. A driving member 125 is disposed on the lower mold assembly 105. The driving member 125 can be a cylinder. A pushing member 129 is disposed on the driving end of the driving member 125. When the pressing member 103 elastically presses the strip 121 against the lower mold assembly 105, the pushing member 129, the first limiting member 111, and the second limiting member 113 are sequentially arranged along the first direction 109. The driving member 125 drives the pushing member 129 to move along the first direction 109, so that the pushing member 129 pushes against the first limiting member 111. Under the push of the pushing member 129, the first limiting member 111 overcomes the elastic force of the elastic member 127 and moves toward the second limiting member 113, thereby causing the first limiting member 111 and the second limiting member 113 to clamp the product 123 in the first direction 109. That is, the first limiting member 111 abuts against one side of the product 123 that slides with the groove 107 along the first direction 109, and the second limiting member 113 abuts against the other side of the product 123 that slides with the groove 107 along the first direction 109. The position of the product 123 in the groove 107 is defined in the first direction 109.

[0066] After the assembly part 122 is placed on the product 123, the driving member 125 drives the pushing member 129 to move in the opposite direction of the first direction 109, and the elastic force of the elastic member 127 drives the first limiting member 111 to move in the opposite direction of the first direction 109, thereby causing the first limiting member 111 to move away from the second limiting member 113, and thus causing the first limiting member 111 and the second limiting member 113 to release the product 123. Then, the upper mold assembly 101 moves away from the lower mold assembly 105, causing the pressing member 103 to drive the first limiting member 111 and the second limiting member 113 to move in the third direction 120, thereby causing the first limiting member 111 and the second limiting member 113 to no longer block the product 123 in the first direction 109. Next, the conveyor 300 continues to convey the product 123 (already equipped with the assembly part 122) downstream, and the product 123 leaves the groove 107.

[0067] In one embodiment, the product 123 has the following dimensions: length 85 mm and width 25 mm. The wall thickness between two adjacent grooves 107 is 6 mm. The six grooves 107 are approximately 200 mm wide in the second direction 119. The multiple grooves 107 of the blanking die 100 are spatially compact, and after limiting the product 123, the distance between two adjacent products 123 in the second direction 119 is small.

[0068] Please see Figure 6 and Figure 7 , Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram showing the blanking die limiting the product 151 in another embodiment of the automated assembly equipment of this application. Figure 7 yes Figure 6 CC section view in the image.

[0069] In this embodiment, the top surface of product 151 has a limiting groove 153, which extends in a first direction 109 and penetrates through product 151. The top of product 151 also has a limiting hole 155, which is a cylindrical hole.

[0070] The blanking die has a guide portion 157 and a limiting member 159. The guide portion 157 extends in a first direction 109 for slidingly engaging with a limiting groove 153 along the first direction 109. The limiting member 159 is a locating pin for inserting into a limiting hole 155.

[0071] When the conveyor transports product 155 to the blanking die, guide 157 limits the position of product 155 in the second direction 119, and limiter 159 restricts the position of product 155 in the first direction 109. Thus, the position of product 155 is limited.

[0072] In summary, this application reduces the use of drivers, thereby reducing the space occupied by the limiting devices. In technical solutions with multiple guide sections, multiple products can be assembled simultaneously, improving assembly efficiency. Furthermore, after the automated assembly equipment assembles the parts to be assembled onto the product, the conveyor transports the product to the next station for subsequent assembly. Completing different assembly steps on the same production line improves efficiency.

[0073] The above steps are provided only to help understand the method, structure, and core ideas of this application. Those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications to this application without departing from its principles, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the scope of protection of the claims.
