[0001] This invention relates to the field of vehicle-mounted power distribution box assembly technology, and more particularly to a wired vehicle-mounted power distribution box assembly device. Background Technology

[0002] In the existing technology, the production process of vehicle-mounted power distribution boxes generally involves many production steps, including laser engraving of the power distribution box body, bracket installation, insulation paper application, and heat-conducting sheet application. Currently, all of these steps are completed manually. Specifically, the operator first takes a power distribution box body from the loading area, then places the body into the laser engraving equipment for laser engraving. After laser engraving is completed, the operator takes out the body and clips the bracket into the body, then fixes the bracket to the body by tightening screws. Next, the operator takes out the insulation paper and applies it to the inner bottom surface of the body. Finally, the operator takes out the heat-conducting sheet and applies it to the surface of the insulation paper.

[0003] As can be seen from the above operations, most of the operations in the entire production process are done manually, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and seriously affects the current production efficiency of vehicle-mounted power distribution boxes.

Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present invention provides a wired vehicle-mounted power distribution box assembly equipment, including a workbench, a multi-axis robot 1, a box feeding area 2, a laser engraving component, an insulating paper feeding component, a bracket assembly component, a heat-conducting sheet feeding component, and a fixture 17.

[0030] The laser engraving assembly, the insulating paper feeding assembly, the bracket assembly, the heat-conducting sheet feeding assembly, and the fixture 17 are mounted on the workbench. The multi-axis robot 1 is located on one side of the workbench, and the laser engraving assembly, the insulating paper feeding assembly, the bracket assembly, and the heat-conducting sheet feeding assembly surround the multi-axis robot 1. The box loading area 2 is located on one side of the multi-axis robot 1.

[0031] In this embodiment, the multi-axis robot 1 first removes a box from the box loading area 2 and places it on the laser engraving assembly. The laser engraving assembly then performs laser engraving on the box. After laser engraving, the multi-axis robot 1 moves the box to the bracket assembly assembly, where the bracket assembly assembly assembles the box onto a bracket. Next, the multi-axis robot 1 places the box on the fixture 17. Then, the multi-axis robot 1 removes insulating paper from the insulating paper feeding assembly and attaches it to the box. Finally, the multi-axis robot 1 removes a heat-conducting sheet from the heat-conducting sheet feeding assembly and attaches it to the box, thus completing the four assembly steps described above. This design effectively replaces existing manual operations and significantly improves the production efficiency of the entire wired vehicle-mounted power distribution box.

[0038] It should be noted that the working principle of the bracket assembly in this embodiment is as follows:

[0039] The multi-axis robot 1 places the box onto the assembly positioning component 11. After the assembly positioning component 11 positions the box, the six-axis robot picks up the bracket from the bracket conveyor belt 6 and inserts the bracket into the designated installation position on the box. Then, driven by the first X-axis linear drive module 8, the first Y-axis linear drive module 7, and the first Y-axis linear drive module 8, the electric screwdriver 10 locks the bracket onto the box.

[0040] Furthermore, the assembly positioning component 11 in this embodiment includes a support frame 1101, a rotary cylinder 1102, a support plate 1107, a Y-axis cylinder 1103, a clamping plate 1104, a Z-axis cylinder 1105, and a pressing plate 1106.

Driven by the second X-axis linear drive module 12 and the second Z-axis linear drive module 13, the vacuum suction plate 14 transfers the heat-conducting sheets to the second placement stage 16.

[0049] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a jig 17 conveyor belt is also installed on the workbench for placing the box. The jig 17 is placed on the jig 17 conveyor belt, which is used to transport the jig 17.

[0050] It should be noted that the multi-axis robot 1 places the box onto the fixture 17, then the multi-axis robot 1 picks up the insulating paper from the insulating paper feeding assembly and attaches the insulating paper to the box. Next, the multi-axis robot 1 picks up the heat-conducting sheet from the heat-conducting sheet feeding assembly and attaches the heat-conducting sheet to the box.
