[0004] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an alloy bracket assembly machine includes a base, a material carrier fixture, a cotton applicator, an accessory assembly device, and a reinforcement device.

[0036] The embodiments of this application will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0037] Reference Figures 1 to 10 According to an embodiment of the present invention, an alloy bracket assembly machine includes a base 100, a material carrier 300, a cotton-applying device 400, an accessory assembly device 500, and a reinforcing device 600. The base 100 is equipped with a first transmission component 200. The material carrier 300 has a plurality of first positioning posts 310 and a plurality of second positioning posts 320 spaced apart along the X-axis direction. The plurality of first positioning posts 310 are spaced apart along the bottom contour of the bracket, and the plurality of second positioning posts 320 are spaced apart along the side contour of the bracket. The material carrier 300 and the first transmission component 200 are slidably engaged. The first transmission component 200 can drive the material carrier 300 along the horizontal direction (i.e., the X-axis direction, X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis). The axes are three mutually perpendicular normals in space. In this embodiment, the positive and negative directions of the X-axis correspond to the left and right directions of the base 100 and each device, the positive and negative directions of the Y-axis correspond to the front and back directions of the base 100 and each device, and the positive and negative directions of the Z-axis correspond to the up and down directions of the base 100 and each device. (This is specifically mentioned here and will not be repeated hereafter.) The cotton applicator 400 is installed on one side of the first transmission member 200. The cotton applicator 400 includes a first feeding assembly 410 and a picking pressure head 420. The picking pressure head 420 is a pressure head with a suction hole (not shown in the figure) at its end. The suction hole draws in the foam by generating negative pressure and releases the foam by blowing air. The first feeding assembly 410 is equipped with a first drive. Component 430, the first drive component 430 and the material-taking pressure head 420 are connected to drive the material-taking pressure head 420 to move between the first feeding component 410 and the material-carrying fixture 300; the accessory assembly device 500 includes a flipping component 510 and a damper assembly component 520, the damper assembly component 520 is installed on the side of the cotton-applying device 400 away from the first transmission member 200, the flipping component 510 is installed between the damper assembly component 520 and the cotton-applying device 400, the flipping component 510 and the damper assembly component 520 cooperate to install the damper; the reinforcement device 600 includes a material-taking bit 610 and a second feeding component 620 (i.e., an automatic screw feeder), the material-taking bit 610 is... The electromagnet pin and the screw-taking bit 610 can attract screws when energized and release screws when de-energized. The base 100 is equipped with a second drive assembly 630, which is connected to the screw-taking bit 610 to drive the screw-taking bit 610 to move between the second feeding assembly 620 and the material carrier 300, or to drive the screw-taking bit 610 to rotate. The foam applicator 400, the accessory assembly device 500 and the reinforcement device 600 are arranged sequentially along the moving direction of the material carrier 300. Different numbers of foam applicators 400 can be set according to the different shapes and sizes of the foam to be applied. Multiple foam applicators 400 are arranged sequentially along the moving direction of the material carrier 300.

[0038] It should be noted that the drive assembly includes a linear module 431 arranged along the Y-axis and a vertically arranged telescopic cylinder 432. The telescopic cylinder 432 is connected to the output end of the linear module 431, and the material handling head 420 is slidably connected to the output end of the linear module 431. The output end of the telescopic cylinder 432 is connected to the material handling head 420 to drive the material handling head 420 to move vertically and thus pick up and place the workpiece. The linear module 431 is used to drive the material handling head 420 to move between the loading fixture 300 and the first unloading assembly 410. This arrangement facilitates user control of the material handling head 420 and improves the control accuracy of the fixture. In addition, unless otherwise specified, the following text... The various drive components described are basically composed of linear modules 431 and telescopic cylinders 432 (or two linear modules 431 and two telescopic cylinders 432, with the second drive component 630 additionally equipped with a drive motor 631 to drive the material pick-up bit 610 to rotate). The only difference is that the arrangement direction of the linear modules 431 or the length of the drive path of the telescopic cylinders 432 may vary slightly depending on the requirements of the corresponding workpiece and accessories. The specific structure can be easily understood by referring to the above description and related drawings. To save space and facilitate the description of the main components, the structure of each drive component will not be described in detail below. This is hereby specifically stated to avoid misunderstanding.

[0039] Understandably, the user places the bracket body onto the material carrier 300. The first positioning post 310 of the material carrier 300 first fixes the bracket. The assembly machine begins operation. The first transmission component 200 drives the material carrier 300 to move and reach one side of the foam applicator 400. The material-taking pressure head 420 picks up the foam from the first feeding component 410. Then, the first drive component 430 drives the material-taking pressure head 420 to move towards the position on the bracket where the foam needs to be installed and presses down the pressure head. Next, the material-taking pressure head 420 releases the foam so that the foam is applied to the bracket. The first transmission component 200 continues to drive the bracket to move towards the accessory assembly device 500. The flipping component 510 first flips the bracket at a certain angle and then puts it back into the material carrier 300. The material carrier 300 moves the flipped bracket to the damper assembly component 520. Assembly component 520 installs the damper onto the bracket, and the second positioning post 320 of the material carrier 300 fixes the bracket thereafter. The first transmission component 200 continues to drive the bracket to move toward the reinforcement device 600. The pick-up bit 610 is energized and picks up the screw from the second dispensing component 620. Then, the second drive component 630 drives the pick-up bit 610 to press down on the position on the bracket where the screw needs to be driven and rotate the screw. Then, the pick-up bit 610 is de-energized and loosens the screw. The screw fixes the damper onto the bracket. By setting up the cotton applicator 400, the accessory assembly device 500 and the reinforcement device 600, and by having the first drive component 430 drive the material carrier 300 through these devices in sequence, the fully automatic assembly of the bracket can be realized, saving the time and labor costs required for manual assembly and effectively improving the assembly efficiency of the bracket.

[0040] Reference Figure 1 It is understood that the base 100 is equipped with a feeding assembly 110 and a feeding conveyor belt 120. The feeding conveyor belt 120 is located on the side of the first conveyor 200 away from the cotton applicator 400. The feeding assembly 110 includes a feeding table 111, a fifth clamp 112, and a fifth drive assembly 113. The feeding table 111 is located on the side of the feeding conveyor belt 120 away from the first conveyor 200. The fifth drive assembly 113 is connected to the fifth clamp 112 to drive the fifth clamp 112 during feeding. The fixture moves between platform 111 and the feeding conveyor belt 120. Two second transmission components 130 are installed between the first transmission component 200 and the feeding conveyor belt 120. The two ends of the second transmission components 130 are connected to the first transmission component 200 and the feeding conveyor belt 120, respectively. The feeding conveyor belt 120, the first transmission component 200, and the two second transmission components 130 cooperate to make the fixture circulate between the cotton applicator 400, the accessory assembly device 500, the reinforcement device 600, and the feeding assembly 110. By setting the second transmission components 130 and the feeding conveyor belt 120, the material-carrying fixture 300 can circulate on the machine platform and pass through each processing device in sequence. The user only needs to replace the processed bracket on the material-carrying fixture 300 to achieve uninterrupted processing of the bracket, effectively improving the smoothness of the assembly machine's operation and increasing the assembly efficiency of the bracket.

[0041] It should be noted that there are usually multiple material carriers 300, and the number of multiple material carriers 300 is usually more than four (the specific number needs to be adjusted according to the number of cotton applicator 400). When each of the cotton applicator 400, the flipping component 510, the damper assembly component 520, and the reinforcement device 600 corresponds to a material carrier 300, there will still be extra material carriers 300 waiting for the feeding component 110 to feed them. This setting ensures that each processing device is always in operation, and the assembly machine processes multiple brackets at the same time, further improving the assembly efficiency of the brackets and reducing the time and labor costs required to assemble the brackets.

[0042] Reference Figures 2 to 4It is understood that the first transmission component 200 includes a first connector 220 and a plurality of positioning blocks 260. The plurality of positioning blocks 260 are spaced apart in the horizontal direction and are all connected to the first connector 220. Specifically, the material carrier fixture 300 is provided with a first positioning groove 301 on the side away from the cotton applicator 400. The base 100 is equipped with a first driving component 240. The first driving component 240 and the first connector 220 are connected to drive the positioning blocks 260 to enter or leave the first positioning groove 301. Multiple positioning blocks 260 are respectively configured one-to-one with the cotton-applying device 400, the flipping assembly 510, the damper assembly 520, and the reinforcing device 600. That is, when the material-carrying fixture 300 arrives at a certain processing device for processing, there is always a positioning block 260 on the front side of the material-carrying fixture 300 that is opposite to the first positioning groove 301. For example, when the material-carrying fixture 300 is located below the material-taking pressure head 420 at the cotton-applying device 400, there is a positioning block 260 on the front side of the material-carrying fixture 300 that is opposite to the first positioning groove 301. At this time, the first driving member 240 drives the first connecting member 220 to move in the negative Y-axis direction, and the first connecting member 220 drives... Positioning block 260 moves and engages with first positioning groove 301, thereby positioning material carrier fixture 300 and ensuring that material handling head 420 can accurately attach foam to bracket, effectively improving the working accuracy of cotton attaching device 400. Since multiple material carrier fixtures 300 are provided, multiple positioning blocks 260 can simultaneously position multiple material carrier fixtures 300 (the material carrier fixture 300 at the feeding assembly 110 is positioned by additional positioning blocks 260 and driving components), thereby improving the working accuracy of each processing device, ensuring that foam, damper and screw can be assembled onto bracket, and effectively improving the yield and consistency of bracket finished products.

[0043] Furthermore, the first transmission component 200 includes a slide rail 210, a first connecting component 220 (i.e., a telescopic cylinder 432 arranged along the X-axis, and the second driving component 270 described later is the telescopic cylinder 432 arranged along the Y-axis) and a plurality of push blocks 230. The slide rail 210 is mounted on the machine base 100, and the material loading fixture 300 is slidably engaged with the slide rail 210. The slide rail 210 is provided with a plurality of guide holes, and the positioning block 260 is correspondingly inserted through the guide holes. The second connecting component 250 is slidably connected to the machine base 100. The plurality of push blocks 230 are spaced apart in the horizontal direction and are all connected to the second connecting component 250. The machine base 100 is equipped with a second driving component 270, and the second driving component 270 is connected to the second connecting component 250 to drive the push blocks 230 to press against and move the material loading fixture 300. After the support is processed by a certain processing device, the second driving member 270 drives one of its push blocks 230 to move along the negative X-axis. Since multiple push blocks 230 are connected to the second connecting member 250, when one push block 230 moves, the entire second connecting member 250, along with the remaining push blocks 230, moves synchronously. The end faces of the multiple push blocks 230 and the multiple material carriers 300 abut against each other and push the multiple material carriers 300 to move synchronously towards the next processing device. Since the positioning block 260 can position the material carriers 300, after the push blocks 230 and the material carriers 300 have moved to the next processing device, the second driving member 270 can drive the push blocks 230 to reset, preparing for the transfer of the next material carrier 300. By setting the push blocks 230... 0. The second driving component 270 drives the push block 230 to move back and forth, which can effectively simplify the structure of the second transmission component 130, facilitate the user's assembly and maintenance of the first transmission component 200, and improve the user experience. At the same time, it can also realize the quick stop and quick delivery of the material jig 300, which facilitates the material jig 300 to work with various processing devices. It should be noted that the structure of the second transmission component 130 and the first transmission component 200 described above is similar, except that the slide rail 210 of the second transmission component 130 is set along the Y-axis direction, and the second transmission component 130 is only equipped with one push block 230. The specific structure of the second transmission component 130 can be understood by referring to the description of the first transmission component 200 and related drawings above, and will not be repeated here.

[0044] It should be noted that, in order to reduce interference between the push block 230 and the material carrier fixture 300 when the push block 230 is reset, a guide slope 231 is provided on the right side of the push block 230, with the right end of the guide slope 231 tilted downwards. A hollow part 330 is provided on the left side of the material carrier fixture 300, opposite to the guide slope 231. When the push block 230 is reset, the guide slope 231 first enters the hollow part 330 and then contacts the edge of the hollow part 330, so that the push block 230 gradually moves to the bottom of the material carrier fixture 300 and finally resets (during this process, the positioning block 260 is engaged with the first positioning groove 301 throughout). By setting the guide slope 231 and the hollow part 330, the push block 230 can be reset smoothly, reducing friction and collision between the push block 230 and the material carrier fixture 300, effectively improving the operational stability of the first transmission component 200, and extending the service life of the push block 230 and the material carrier fixture 300.

[0045] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 The alloy bracket assembly machine also includes a detection device 700, which includes a first clamp 710 and a first detection component 720. The first detection component 720 includes a camera 721 and a supplementary light component 722. The first clamp 710 is located on the side of the reinforcement device 600 away from the accessory assembly device 500 and above one of its second transmission components 130. The camera 721 is located on the side of the first clamp 710 away from the reinforcement device 600. The supplementary light component 722 is located between the camera 721 and the first clamp 710. The base 100 is equipped with a third drive component 730, which is connected to the first clamp 710 to drive the first clamp 710 to move between the second transmission component 130 and the first detection component 720. After the bracket is assembled, the second transmission component 130 will transfer the material carrier fixture 300 from the first transmission component 200 to the loading conveyor belt 120. Before the material carrier fixture 300 enters the second conveyor belt, the first clamp 710 will clamp the assembled bracket on the material carrier fixture 300. Then, the third drive component 730 will drive the first clamp 710 to move toward the supplementary light component 722 of the first detection component 720. The supplementary light component 722 illuminates the bracket so that the camera 721 can clearly photograph the bracket. Since the bracket itself is flipped by the flip component 510, the side of the bracket with foam attached is exactly opposite the camera 721. After the camera 721 takes a picture of the assembled bracket, it will perform image analysis to determine whether the finished bracket is qualified. By setting the first detection component 720, the first detection component 720 can perform an overall inspection of the assembled bracket to determine whether the bracket is qualified, avoiding problems such as missing parts, incomplete parts, and incomplete assembly processes when the bracket is finished, and further improving the yield and consistency of the finished bracket.

[0046] It should be noted that the first clamp 710 consists of a finger cylinder 711, two clamping blocks 712, and a sensor. The driving end of the finger cylinder 711 is connected to the two clamping blocks 712 respectively to drive the two clamping blocks 712 to move towards or away from each other. The sensor is installed on one side of the finger cylinder 711 to detect whether the first clamp 710 is clamping the bracket. This setting simplifies the structure of the first clamp 710 and makes it easier for users to assemble and debug the first clamp 710. The structures of the second clamp 511, the third clamp 512, the fourth clamp 521, and the fifth clamp 112 described above are similar to those of the first clamp 710. Their specific structures can be referred to the description of the first clamp 710 above, and will not be repeated hereafter.

[0047] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 6 The detection device 700 also includes a second detection component 740 (the specific structure can be referred to the previous description of the first detection component 720). The second detection component 740 is located below the material feeding head 420, and the detection end of the second detection component 740 faces the material feeding head 420. The first feeding component includes a feeding tray 411, a material separating component 413, and a receiving tray 414. A guide wheel 412 for guiding the movement of the rolled material is also provided between the feeding tray 411 and the receiving tray 414. The material separating component 413 is located between the material feeding head 420 and the first feeding head 420. Between the detection components 740, the material distribution component 413 is provided with a feeding plane 4131 and a material distribution slope 4132. The feeding plane 4131 is located on the side of the material distribution component 413 facing the material taking head 420 and is parallel to the XY plane (i.e., the feeding plane 4131 is set horizontally). The material distribution slope 4132 is located on the side of the feeding plane 4131 away from the first material taking component and is connected to the feeding plane 4131. The foam roll passes through the feeding tray 411, the guide roller 412, the feeding plane 4131, the material distribution slope 4132, and the take-up tray 414 in sequence. During the operation of the first feeding assembly, the roll material is in a horizontal position under the guidance of the feeding plane 4131 and tilts downward under the guidance of the dividing slope 4132. When the masking ring originally pasted on the roll material passes through the connection between the feeding plane 4131 and the dividing slope 4132, the front half of the masking ring will leave the roll material and float at the front end of the feeding plane 4131 because the traction force of the take-up tray 414 is greater than the adhesive force between the masking ring and the roll material. This makes it easier for the picking head 420 to pick it up. By setting a second detection assembly 740, the second detection assembly 740 detects the shape, size and other parameters of the foam before the picking head 420 installs the foam, thereby judging whether the quality of the foam waiting to be installed is qualified, avoiding problems such as foam being easily missed or the foam quality being substandard, and reducing the time and labor costs required for subsequent manual inspection of the foam.

[0048] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 7It is understood that the flipping assembly 510 includes a second clamp 511 and a third clamp 512. The third clamp 512 is located above the second clamp 511. The second clamp 511 is connected to a rotary lifting assembly 513 (composed of a rotary cylinder and a vertically arranged telescopic cylinder 432). The third clamp 512 is connected to a translation lifting assembly 514 (composed of a telescopic cylinder 432 arranged along the X-axis and a vertically arranged telescopic cylinder 432). The rotary lifting assembly 513 and the translation lifting assembly 514 are both mounted on the machine base 100. The second clamp 511 and the third clamp 512 cooperate to flip the workpiece. When the flipping assembly 510 is in operation, the second clamp 511 first clamps the bracket. The rotary lifting assembly 513 rotates the second clamp 511, causing the bracket to rotate so that the side of the bracket where the damper needs to be installed faces upward. Then, the rotary lifting assembly 513 pushes the second clamp 511 upward and moves it toward the third clamp 512. The third clamp 512 clamps the bracket (the second clamp 511 and the third clamp 512 are misaligned in the Y-axis direction, so that the second clamp 511 and the third clamp 512 clamp the rear half and the front half of the bracket respectively). Then, the rotary lifting assembly 513 drives the third clamp 512 to move toward the material carrier 300, placing the flipped bracket onto the material carrier 300. By setting the second clamp 511 and the third clamp 512 to flip the bracket, the structure of the accessory assembly device 500 can be simplified, making it easier for users to assemble and maintain the flipping assembly 510, and further improving the user experience.

[0049] Furthermore, the damper assembly 520 includes a fourth clamp 521 and a third unloading assembly 522 (i.e., a vibratory feeder with a conveyor belt). A stop block 530 is mounted on the base 100, located between the third unloading assembly 522 and the first transmission component 200 (the accessory assembly device 500 is located on one side of the first transmission component 200, meaning the fourth clamp 521 and the third unloading assembly 522 are on the same side of the first transmission component 200). The stop block 530 has a second positioning groove 501 on the side facing the third unloading assembly 522 that matches the shape of the damper. The second positioning groove 501 is directly opposite the conveyor belt of the third unloading assembly 522 and located below the fourth clamp 521. The base 100 is equipped with a fourth drive assembly 523 (composed of a telescopic cylinder 432 arranged along the Y-axis and a vertically arranged telescopic cylinder 432). The fourth drive assembly 523 is connected to the fourth clamp 521 to drive the fourth clamp 521 to move between the second positioning groove 501 and the material carrier 300. The fourth drive assembly 523 includes a third drive member 5231 (i.e., a telescopic cylinder 432 arranged along the Y-axis). The fourth clamp 521 is connected to a gear 5232. The third drive member 5231 is connected to a rack 5233. The gear 5232 and the rack 5233 mesh. The third drive member 5231 drives the rack 5233 to move so as to drive the fourth clamp 521 to rotate. The damper, fed from the third unloading assembly 522, is guided by the wall of the second positioning groove 501 and engages in the second positioning groove 501 for initial positioning. At this point, the damping angle is not the final angle for installation on the bracket. When the fourth drive assembly 523 moves the fourth clamp 521 above the bracket, the third drive component 5231 drives the rack 5233 to move. The rack 5233 drives the gear 5232, which in turn drives the fourth clamp 521 and the bracket to rotate, performing secondary positioning of the damper. This adjusts the damper rotation to a certain angle, allowing the damper to smoothly engage with the bracket. Assembly: By setting the second positioning groove 501 and the fourth clamp 521, the damper can be initially positioned and installed. The damper angle is adjusted twice to avoid the damper displacement or misalignment caused by vibration, friction and other factors during the transmission of the damper by the third feeding component 522. This further improves the operating accuracy of the component assembly device 500. By setting the gear 5232 and rack 5233 to rotate the fourth clamp 521, the structure of the fourth drive component 523 can be simplified while ensuring the rotation accuracy of the fourth clamp 521, thus reducing the operating cost of the fourth drive component.

[0050] Reference Figure 8It is understood that the stop block 530 is provided with a detection hole (not shown in the figure). The detection hole extends horizontally through the stop block 530 and connects to the end of the second positioning groove 501 away from the third feeding assembly 522. The detection device 700 also includes a third detection assembly 750 (i.e., a photoelectric sensor), with the detection end of the third detection assembly 750 facing the detection hole. When the damper is inserted into the second positioning groove 501, the side wall of the damper will cover the detection hole, that is, the damper will fill part of the detection hole extending through the stop block 530, so that the photoelectric sensor can detect the presence of an object. Since the detection hole is located at the end of the second positioning groove 501 away from the third feeding assembly 522, the photoelectric detector can detect that the detection hole is blocked, and thus determine that the damper is accurately inserted into the second positioning groove 501. By setting the detection hole and the third detection assembly 750, it is possible to determine whether the damper has moved into place in the second positioning groove 501, which facilitates the subsequent secondary positioning of the damper by the fourth clamp 521, avoids problems such as the damper being missing or misaligned, and effectively improves the positioning accuracy of the second positioning groove 501.

[0051] Reference Figure 9 It should be added that the reinforcement device 600 also includes a sleeve 640, which is fitted onto the take-up screwdriver bit 610. By setting up an airtight sleeve 640, after the take-up screwdriver bit 610 picks up the screw, the main body of the screw is also contained inside the sleeve 640. This setting has two advantages. First, the airtight structure of the sleeve 640 increases the resistance to the screw, preventing the screw from falling off the take-up screwdriver bit 610 and saving the time cost required to re-adsorb the screw, effectively improving the working efficiency of the reinforcement device 600. Second, the vertical sleeve 640 can also play a guiding role, guiding the screw to move vertically downward during the rotation of the take-up screwdriver bit 610 to avoid problems such as the screw shaking or tilting, effectively improving the working stability of the reinforcement device 600.

[0052] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 10It is understood that the base 100 is equipped with a scrap conveyor belt 140, which is located on the side of the feeding conveyor belt 120 away from the first conveyor 200 and below the first clamp 710. A good product conveyor belt 150 is also installed on one side of the scrap conveyor belt 140. When the first detection component 720 detects the quality of the bracket, the first clamp 710, according to the detection structure, places the bracket into a suitable conveyor belt. For example, if the first detection component 720 detects that the bracket's foam, damper, and screws are all assembled correctly, without omissions or quality issues, the third drive component 730 drives the first clamp 710 to move towards the good product conveyor belt 150. The first clamp 710 releases the bracket, and the good product conveyor belt 150 conveys the qualified bracket out of the assembly machine. The first detection component 720 detects that the bracket's foam, damper, and screws are all assembled correctly. If screws are missing or have quality issues, the third drive assembly 730 drives the first clamp 710 to move towards the scrap conveyor belt 140. The first clamp 710 releases the bracket, and the scrap conveyor belt 140 transports the substandard bracket out of the assembly machine. By setting up a scrap conveyor belt 140 and a good product conveyor belt 150, brackets of different quality are transported separately, saving users the time and labor costs required to select poor-quality brackets. This facilitates the collection and sorting of finished brackets, further improving the functionality of the assembly machine and enhancing the user experience.

[0053] In addition, the assembly machine also includes a recycling device 800, which includes a feeding platform 810 and a suction cup 820. The feeding platform 810 is installed on one side of the loading platform 111, and the suction cup 820 is located above the feeding platform 810. The base 100 is equipped with a sixth drive assembly 830 and a seventh drive assembly 840. The sixth drive assembly 830 is connected to the loading platform 111 to drive the loading platform 111 to move toward the feeding platform 810, and the seventh drive assembly 840 is connected to the suction cup 820 to drive the suction cup 820 to move between the feeding platform 810 and the loading platform 111. Once all the supports in the tray at the loading platform 111 are assembled, the sixth drive component 830 can drive the loading platform to move toward the unloading platform 810. Then, the suction cup 820 picks up the empty tray, and the seventh drive component 840 transfers the empty tray to the unloading platform 810 for stacking and collection. By setting up the suction cup 820 and the unloading platform 810, the assembly machine can automatically collect and organize the empty trays, making it convenient for users to reuse them and further improving the user experience.
