Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cooking utensil component assembly technology, and in particular to roller bracket assembly equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In microwave ovens and similar cooking appliances, a roller assembly is installed at the bottom of the cooking cavity to ensure even heating of all parts of the food during cooking. Typically, this roller assembly includes a circular support frame with multiple rollers spaced circumferentially on it. This allows the support frame to rotate within the cooking cavity, causing the food placed on it to rotate as well. This ensures uniform heating of all parts of the food, improving its texture and taste. However, the assembly efficiency between the rollers and the support frame during the manufacturing process is relatively low. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the problem of low assembly efficiency, this invention proposes a roller bracket assembly device to improve the assembly efficiency of rollers and brackets.

[0004] A roller bracket assembly device, comprising:

[0005] An assembly mechanism having a roller pre-placement position and a bracket pre-placement position, the assembly mechanism being used to assemble the roller of the roller pre-placement position onto the bracket of the bracket pre-placement position;

[0006] A roller dispensing mechanism has a roller output position, which is arranged corresponding to the roller pre-placement position, so that a roller dispensed from the roller output position can be placed in the roller pre-placement position.

[0007] A support deployment mechanism, wherein the support deployment mechanism has a support output position, and the support deployment mechanism is used to deploy the support to be assembled to the support output position;

[0008] A transfer mechanism is used to transfer the bracket at the bracket output position to the bracket pre-placement position.

[0009] The above solution provides a roller bracket assembly device. By integrating the assembly mechanism, roller delivery mechanism, bracket delivery mechanism, and transfer mechanism into the roller bracket assembly device, the assembly process of the roller bracket can be automated, improving assembly efficiency. Specifically, the roller delivery mechanism can automatically deliver the roller to the roller pre-placement position. The bracket delivery mechanism can deliver the bracket to the bracket output position, and then the transfer mechanism can transfer the bracket to the bracket pre-placement position. Finally, the assembly mechanism assembles the roller from the roller pre-placement position onto the bracket at the bracket pre-placement position.

[0010] In one embodiment, the support delivery mechanism includes a support storage unit that can store multiple supports, and the supports stored in the support storage unit can be delivered to the support output position.

[0011] In one embodiment, the support storage unit has a storage space with the discharge port facing downward. Multiple supports can be stacked sequentially in the storage space along the longitudinal direction, and the supports in the storage space can be discharged from the discharge port. The support storage unit is provided with a discharge limiting component, which is movably connected to the support storage unit, such that the discharge limiting component has a first position and a second position relative to the support storage unit.

[0012] When the discharge limiting component is in the first position, the discharge limiting component prevents the bracket at the discharge port from falling.

[0013] When the discharge limiting component is in the second position, the discharge limiting component retracts from the discharge port.

[0014] In one embodiment, the discharge limiting assembly includes a pull rod, a connecting block, a connecting rod, and a sliding rod. The pull rod is arranged longitudinally along the storage space and can slide relative to the support storage unit along the longitudinal direction. One end of the pull rod near the discharge port is connected to the connecting block. The two ends of the connecting rod are rotatably connected to the connecting block and the sliding rod, respectively. The support storage unit has a sliding hole arranged radially along the discharge port near the discharge port, and the sliding hole communicates with the discharge port. The sliding rod is inserted into the sliding hole.

[0015] When the discharge limiting component is in the first position, the sliding rod is inserted into the discharge port from the sliding hole;

[0016] When the discharge limiting component is in the second position, the sliding rod retracts from the discharge port;

[0017] The pull rod is provided with a limiting cylinder and an elastic reset member at one end away from the discharge port. The limiting cylinder is connected to the support storage unit. The pull rod is inserted into the limiting cylinder. The elastic reset member acts between the pull rod and the limiting cylinder to provide a reset force for the pull rod to move upward longitudinally.

[0018] In one embodiment, the support storage unit includes a first support base, a second support base, multiple guide rods, and multiple outer arc-shaped members. The multiple guide rods are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the support, and the support can be fitted over the multiple guide rods. The two ends of each guide rod are respectively connected to the first support base and the second support base. The multiple outer arc-shaped members are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the support, and the multiple outer arc-shaped members surround the support. The space between two adjacent outer arc-shaped members is an upward-opening V-shaped groove. The space between the outer arc-shaped members and the multiple guide rods forms the storage space.

[0019] In one embodiment, the outer arc-shaped member is provided with a straightening rod, the straightening rod is arranged longitudinally, and the position on the outer arc-shaped member that connects with the straightening rod is the position where the opening of the V-shaped groove is formed on the outer arc-shaped member.

[0020] In one embodiment, the bracket delivery mechanism further includes a turntable and a first sliding plate. Multiple bracket storage units are provided, all mounted on the turntable. A first opening is provided on the turntable opposite to each discharge port. Brackets in the storage space can fall sequentially from the discharge port and the first opening. The roller bracket assembly equipment includes a worktable. An assembly mechanism and a transfer mechanism are both mounted on the worktable. The turntable is rotatably mounted on the worktable. The first sliding plate is slidably mounted on the worktable. A temporary placement slot for placing brackets is provided on the first sliding plate. The first sliding plate slides back and forth between the receiving position and the discharge position relative to the worktable. When the first sliding plate slides to the receiving position, the temporary placement slot is directly opposite the first opening. A first positioning notch is provided on the temporary placement slot at a position corresponding to the roller mounting shaft on the bracket at the discharge port. When the first sliding plate slides to the discharge position, the temporary placement slot is located at the bracket output position.

[0021] In one embodiment, the workbench is provided with a support frame and a first drive assembly. The support frame includes a transverse support portion located above the support storage unit. The first drive assembly is disposed on the transverse support portion. The bottom surface of the transverse support portion is provided with an arc-shaped guide groove, and the top of the support storage unit can slide through the arc-shaped guide groove when the turntable rotates.

[0022] When the turntable rotates to the point where the first drive component is directly opposite the discharge limiting component in the support storage unit, the first drive component can drive the discharge limiting component to move to the first position, and the first opening below the support storage unit is directly opposite the temporary placement position.

[0023] In one embodiment, the assembly mechanism includes a bracket fixing assembly and a roller pressing assembly. The bracket pre-placement position is a bracket pre-placement groove provided on the bracket fixing assembly.

[0024] The roller pressing assembly includes a second drive assembly, a roller guide, and a third drive assembly. The roller guide has a roller guide groove. A portion of the roller guide groove is located outside the second positioning notch in the radial direction of the bracket. This portion of the roller guide groove is the pre-placement position of the roller, and the guiding direction of this portion of the roller guide groove is parallel to the tangent line on the side wall of the pre-placement groove of the bracket where the second positioning notch is located. The roller guide has a through hole that penetrates the roller guide in the radial direction of the bracket at the pre-placement position of the roller.

[0025] The driving end of the second driving component can be inserted into the roller guide groove, and the driving end of the second driving component can move in the guiding direction of the roller guide groove;

[0045] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can be practiced in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, a roller bracket assembly device 10 is provided, comprising:

[0047] Assembly mechanism 11, the assembly mechanism 11 having a roller pre-placement position 111 and a bracket pre-placement position 112, the assembly mechanism 11 being used to assemble the roller 30 of the roller pre-placement position 111 onto the bracket 20 of the bracket pre-placement position 112;

[0048] A roller dispensing mechanism 12 has a roller output position, which is arranged corresponding to the roller pre-placement position 111, so that the roller 30 dispensed from the roller output position can be placed in the roller pre-placement position 111.

[0049] A support deployment mechanism 13 has a support output position 131, which is used to deploy the support 20 to be assembled to the support output position 131.

[0050] Transfer mechanism 14, which is used to transfer the bracket 20 of the bracket output position 131 to the bracket pre-placement position 112.

[0051] The above solution provides a roller bracket assembly device 10. By integrating the assembly mechanism 11, roller delivery mechanism 12, bracket delivery mechanism 13, and transfer mechanism 14 into the roller bracket assembly device 10, the assembly process of the roller 30 and bracket 20 can be automated, improving assembly efficiency. Specifically, the roller delivery mechanism 12 can automatically deliver the roller 30 to the roller pre-placement position 111. The bracket delivery mechanism 13 can deliver the bracket 20 to the bracket output position 131, and then the transfer mechanism 14 can transfer the bracket 20 to the bracket pre-placement position 112. Then, the assembly mechanism 11 assembles the roller 30 from the roller pre-placement position 111 onto the bracket 20 from the bracket pre-placement position 112.

[0052] Furthermore, in one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the bracket delivery mechanism 13 includes a bracket storage unit 132, which can store multiple brackets 20. The brackets 20 stored in the bracket storage unit 132 can be delivered to the bracket output position 131.

[0053] In use, multiple supports 20 can be placed in the support storage unit 132 at one time, and then the supports 20 in the support storage unit 132 can be sequentially put into the support output position 131, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the supports 20.

[0054] Specifically, such as Figures 2 to 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the support storage unit 132 has a storage space with the discharge port facing downward, and a plurality of supports 20 can be stacked sequentially in the storage space along the longitudinal direction, and the supports 20 in the storage space can be discharged from the discharge port.

[0055] Furthermore, such as Figures 3 to 8As shown, the support storage unit 132 is provided with a discharge limiting component 133, which is movably connected to the support storage unit 132, so that the discharge limiting component 133 has a first position and a second position relative to the support storage unit 132.

[0056] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, when the discharge limiting component 133 is in the first position, the discharge limiting component 133 prevents the bracket 20 at the discharge port from falling.

[0057] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, when the discharge limiting component 133 is in the second position, the discharge limiting component 133 retracts from the discharge port shown.

[0058] The storage space contains multiple supports 20, and during assembly, the supports 20 can be controlled to fall sequentially from the discharge port. Specifically, when a support 20 needs to fall, the discharge limiting component 133 is switched to the first position; when a support 20 does not need to fall, the discharge limiting component 133 is switched to the second position.

[0059] Specifically, the discharge limiting component 133 can switch positions relative to the support storage unit 132 by moving, rotating or other means.

[0060] For example, in one embodiment, the discharge limiting component 133 is provided with a discharge port, and the discharge limiting component 133 is rotatably or movable relative to the support storage unit 132. When the discharge limiting component 133 rotates or moves to the second position, the discharge port is exactly opposite to the discharge port, and the support 20 can fall from the discharge port and the discharge port in sequence. When the discharge limiting component 133 rotates or moves to the first position, the discharge port and the discharge port are misaligned, so that the support 20 in the storage space is blocked by the discharge limiting component 133 and cannot fall.

[0061] Specifically, such as Figures 3 to 6As shown, in one embodiment, the discharge limiting component 133 includes a pull rod 1331, a connecting block 1332, a connecting rod 1333, and a sliding rod 1334. The pull rod 1331 is arranged longitudinally along the storage space, and the pull rod 1331 is slidable relative to the support storage unit 132 along the longitudinal direction. One end of the pull rod 1331 near the discharge port is connected to the connecting block 1332, and both ends of the connecting rod 1333 are rotatably connected to the connecting block 1332 and the sliding rod 1334, respectively. The support storage unit 132 has a sliding hole 1326 near the discharge port, which is radially arranged along the discharge port and communicates with the discharge port. The sliding rod 1334 is inserted into the sliding hole 1326.

[0062] Thus, by pushing or pulling the pull rod 1331 longitudinally, the sliding rod 1334 can move in the sliding hole 1326.

[0063] When the discharge limiting component 133 is in the first position, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the sliding rod 1334 is inserted into the discharge port through the sliding hole 1326;

[0064] When the discharge limiting component 133 is in the second position, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the sliding rod 1334 retracts from the discharge port.

[0065] Specifically, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, when the support 20 is not required to fall, the position of the pull rod 1331 is such that the axial direction of the connecting rod 1333 coincides with the axial direction of the sliding rod 1334, and the sliding rod 1334 inserts into the discharge port, blocking the support 20. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, when the support 20 needs to be lowered, the pull rod 1331 is pushed or pulled longitudinally, causing the connecting block 1332 to move longitudinally. The connecting rod 1333 rotates relative to the connecting block 1332, and the connecting rod 1333 pulls the sliding rod 1334 axially along the sliding hole 1326, causing the sliding rod 1334 to exit the discharge port.

[0066] More specifically, in one embodiment, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, when the support 20 needs to be lowered, the pull rod 1331 is pushed downwards longitudinally. A limiting cylinder 1335 and an elastic reset member 1336 are provided at the end of the pull rod 1331 away from the discharge port. The limiting cylinder 1335 is connected to the support storage unit 132. The pull rod 1331 is inserted into the limiting cylinder 1335. The elastic reset member 1336 acts between the pull rod 1331 and the limiting cylinder 1335 to provide a restoring force for the pull rod 1331 to move upwards longitudinally.

[0067] When the force pushing the pull rod 1331 downward is removed, under the action of the elastic reset member 1336, the pull rod 1331 moves upward, causing the discharge limiting component 133 to reset to the first position.

[0068] Furthermore, such as Figures 3 to 6 As shown, there are multiple connecting rods 1333 and multiple sliding rods 1334, as well as multiple sliding holes 1326. Each connecting rod 1333 is rotatably connected to the connecting block 1332, and the multiple connecting rods 1333 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the discharge port. The multiple sliding holes 1326 are also arranged at intervals along the circumference of the discharge port. One connecting rod 1333 is rotatably connected to one sliding rod 1334, and one sliding rod 1334 is inserted into one sliding hole 1326. The axial direction of the sliding rod 1334 is consistent with the axial direction of the sliding hole 1326.

[0069] Furthermore, in one embodiment, such as Figures 2 to 9 As shown, the support storage unit 132 includes a first support base 1321, a second support base 1322, and a plurality of guide rods 1323. The plurality of guide rods 1323 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the support 20. The support 20 can be fitted over the plurality of guide rods 1323. The two ends of each guide rod 1323 are respectively connected to the first support base 1321 and the second support base 1322.

[0070] The support storage unit 132 also includes a plurality of outer arc-shaped members 1324, which are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the support 20 and surround the support 20. The space between two adjacent outer arc-shaped members 1324 is a V-shaped groove 1325 with the opening facing upward. The space between the outer arc-shaped members 1324 and the plurality of guide members forms the storage space.

[0071] Multiple brackets 20 are sleeved around the guide rods 1323 along the axial direction of the guide rods 1323. The bracket 20 near the discharge port is located between the guide rod 1323 and the outer arc-shaped member 1324. The roller mounting shaft on the bracket 20 is located in the V-groove 1325, thereby pre-positioning the angle of the bracket 20.

[0072] Furthermore, such as Figures 3 to 9 As shown, in one embodiment, the second support 1322 is located at the lower end of the guide rod 1323. The second support 1322 is annular, and the outer diameter of the second support 1322 is smaller than the diameter of the circle enclosed by the plurality of outer arc-shaped members 1324, ensuring that the bracket 20 in the storage space can fall downward without being blocked by the second support 1322.

[0073] Furthermore, such as Figures 3 to 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the second support base 1322 is annular, the sliding hole 1326 is formed on the second support base 1322, and the connecting block 1332 and the connecting rod 1333 are located in the space enclosed by the second support base 1322.

[0074] Furthermore, such as Figure 9 As shown, in one embodiment, the outer arc-shaped member 1324 is provided with a centering rod 1327, which is arranged longitudinally. The position on the outer arc-shaped member 1324 that connects to the centering rod 1327 is the position where the opening of the V-groove 1325 is formed on the outer arc-shaped member 1324. Thus, the support 20 in the storage space will automatically align the roller mounting shaft into the V-groove 1325 under the action of the centering rod 1327, further improving the speed of pre-positioning the support 20 at this location.

[0075] Furthermore, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in one embodiment, the support delivery mechanism 13 further includes a turntable 134, and there are multiple support storage units 132, all of which are disposed on the turntable 134. The turntable 134 is provided with a first opening 1341 at a position opposite to each of the discharge ports, and the support 20 in the storage space can fall sequentially from the discharge port and the first opening 1341.

[0076] Specifically, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, when the discharge limiting component 133 is in the second position, the support 20 in the storage space falls down from the discharge port and the first opening 1341 in sequence.

[0077] Furthermore, the combination of the first support base 1321, the second support base 1322 and the plurality of guide rods 1323 is detachably arranged on the turntable 134.

[0078] The discharge limiting component 133, which is provided in the support storage unit 132, is also detachably arranged relative to the turntable 134, along with the first support 1321 and the second support 1322.

[0079] Therefore, after all the supports 20 in the storage space have been placed, the assembly consisting of the first support 1321, the second support 1322, the multiple guide rods 1323, and the discharge limiting assembly 133 can be removed from the turntable 134, and then the multiple supports 20 can be fitted onto the removed guide rods 1323. After the material is loaded onto the removed guide rods 1323, the removed assembly can be installed back onto the turntable 134.

[0080] When disassembling the combination of one of the first support bases 1321, the second support base 1322, the multiple guide rods 1323 and the discharge limiting component 133, the brackets 20 in the other bracket storage units 132 can be placed into the bracket output position 131 so that the assembly process of the rollers 30 and the brackets 20 can be carried out continuously, thereby improving the assembly efficiency.

[0081] The outer arc-shaped component 1324 is fixed on the turntable 134, so that the multiple outer arc-shaped components 1324 can be positioned when the assembly is disassembled before assembly.

[0082] The roller bracket assembly equipment 10 includes a workbench 15, on which the turntable 134 is rotatably mounted. The assembly mechanism 11 and the transfer mechanism 14 are both mounted on the workbench 15.

[0083] Furthermore, such as Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, the bracket delivery mechanism 13 further includes a first sliding plate 135, which is slidably disposed on the worktable 15. The first sliding plate 135 has a temporary placement slot 1351 for placing the bracket 20. The first sliding plate 135 slides back and forth between the receiving position and the discharging position relative to the worktable 15. When the first sliding plate 135 slides to the receiving position, the temporary placement slot 1351 is directly opposite the first opening 1341, and the bracket 20 falling from the storage space falls directly into the temporary placement slot 1351. When the first sliding plate 135 slides to the discharging position, the temporary placement slot 1351 is located at the bracket output position 131.

[0084] In use, the turntable 134 can be rotated and the first sliding plate 135 can be slid so that the first opening 1341 on the turntable 134 is aligned with the temporary storage slot 1351. Then, the discharge limiting component 133 is switched to the second position, causing the support 20 in the storage space to fall into the temporary storage slot 1351. Afterward, the first sliding plate 135 slides, transporting the support 20 in the temporary storage slot 1351 to the support output position 131.

[0085] Furthermore, such as Figures 2 to 6 As shown, a first positioning notch 1352 is provided on the temporary storage trough 1351 at a position corresponding to the roller mounting shaft on the bracket 20 at the discharge port, so that the bracket 20 falling into the temporary storage trough 1351 can be accurately positioned, and the roller mounting shaft of the bracket 20 is located in the first positioning notch 1352.

[0086] Specifically, such as Figures 2 to 6 As shown, the first positioning notch 1352 and the V-groove 1325 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. In other words, when the first slide plate 135 is located at the receiving position, each of the V-grooves 1325 corresponds to a first positioning notch 1352 below it.

[0087] Furthermore, to ensure that when the turntable 134 rotates, the first opening 1341 on the turntable 134 can accurately stop at a position directly opposite the temporary placement slot 1351 on the first slide plate 135 of the receiving position, such as... Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, a positioning component 151 can be further provided on the worktable 15. The positioning component 151 includes a positioning pin 1511 and a positioning drive 1512, the drive end of which is connected to the positioning pin 1511. A positioning groove 1342 is provided on the outer edge of the turntable 134. When the turntable 134 rotates to a suitable position, the positioning pin 1511 is exactly opposite to the positioning groove 1342, and the positioning drive 1512 can drive the positioning pin 1511 to insert into the positioning groove 1342.

[0088] Furthermore, the roller bracket assembly equipment 10 also includes a first fixing plate 16, which is located between the turntable 134 and the first sliding plate 135. The first fixing plate 16 has a second opening 161 at a position directly opposite the temporary placement slot 1351 of the first sliding plate 135 when it is in the receiving position. Thus, when the bracket 20 in the storage space falls, it can pass through the discharge port, the first opening 1341 and the second opening 161 in sequence, and finally fall into the temporary placement slot 1351.

[0089] Similarly, a third positioning notch 162 is provided on the second opening 161 at the position corresponding to the V-groove 1325, so that the roller mounting shaft on the bracket 20 can slide through.

[0090] Furthermore, in one embodiment, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the workbench 15 is provided with a rotation drive 17 for driving the turntable 134 to rotate, and the first fixed plate 16 is provided with a through hole 163 for the driving end of the rotation drive 17 to pass through. The driving end of the rotation drive 17 is connected to the turntable 134.

[0091] The driving end of the rotation drive 17 blocks the sliding direction of the first slide plate 135. The first slide plate 135 is provided with a strip hole 1353 to provide clearance space for the driving end of the rotation drive 17. The length direction of the strip hole 1353 is consistent with the sliding direction of the first slide plate 135. When the first slide plate 135 slides, the driving end of the rotation drive 17 can slide in the strip hole 1353.

[0092] Furthermore, such as Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the workbench 15 is also provided with a fourth drive assembly 1354 for driving the first slide plate 135 to slide, and the fourth drive assembly 1354 is connected to the first slide plate 135.

[0093] Furthermore, such as Figures 3 to 8 As shown, in one embodiment, the workbench 15 is provided with a support frame 152 and a first drive assembly 153. The support frame 152 includes a transverse support portion 1521, which is located above the support storage unit 132. The first drive assembly 153 is disposed on the transverse support portion 1521. The bottom surface of the transverse support portion 1521 is provided with an arc-shaped guide groove 1522. When the turntable 134 rotates, the top of the support storage unit 132 can slide through the arc-shaped guide groove 1522.

[0094] When the turntable 134 rotates to the point where the first drive assembly 153 is directly opposite the discharge limiting assembly 133 in the support storage unit 132, the first drive assembly 153 can drive the discharge limiting assembly 133 to move to the first position, and the first opening 1341 below the support storage unit 132 is directly opposite the temporary storage slot 1351.

[0095] Specifically, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the bottom surface of the transverse support 1521 is provided with two arc-shaped guide strips 1523, and the two arc-shaped guide strips 1523 are spaced apart in the radial direction to form the arc-shaped guide grooves 1522.

[0096] The top end of the limiting cylinder 1335 extends beyond the top surface of the first support base 1321. The top end of the limiting cylinder 1335 is provided with a guide plate 1337. The outer diameter of the guide plate 1337 is the same as the width of the arc-shaped guide groove 1522. The guide plate 1337 can slide through the arc-shaped guide groove 1522.

[0097] The outer diameter of the guide plate 1337 is larger than the outer diameter of the limiting cylinder 1335, and the opening width of the arc-shaped guide groove 1522 is located between the outer diameter of the limiting cylinder 1335 and the outer diameter of the guide plate 1337.

[0098] Thus, as Figures 3 to 6 As shown, when the guide plate 1337 rotates into the arc-shaped guide groove 1522, the relative positions of the support storage unit 132 and the support frame 152 are fixed in the vertical direction.

[0099] Furthermore, such as Figures 10 to 13 As shown, in one embodiment, the assembly mechanism 11 includes a bracket fixing assembly 113 and a roller pressing assembly 114. The bracket pre-placement position 112 is a bracket pre-placement groove provided on the bracket fixing assembly 113. The side wall of the bracket pre-placement groove is provided with a second positioning notch 1121 corresponding to each roller mounting shaft on the bracket 20. The roller pressing assembly 114 is provided at each of the second positioning notches 1121.

[0100] After the bracket 20 is placed into the bracket pre-positioning slot by the transfer mechanism 14, the roller pressing assembly 114 is used to press each roller 30 onto the roller mounting shaft of the bracket 20. The second positioning notch 1121 can quickly and accurately position the roller mounting shaft.

[0101] Furthermore, since the position of the roller mounting shaft has already been positioned when the bracket 20 is placed in the storage space, the bracket 20 can be positioned quickly and accurately during the entire handling process, thus improving the accuracy and efficiency of assembly.

[0102] Furthermore, such as Figure 10 As shown, in one embodiment, the bracket fixing assembly 113 further includes a clamping assembly for clamping the bracket 20 in the bracket pre-placement slot therein.

[0103] Specifically, such as Figures 10 to 13As shown, the clamping assembly includes a clamping drive 1131, a rotating block 1132, and a pressing block 1133. The clamping drive 1131 is connected to the rotating block 1132 and is used to drive the rotating block 1132 to rotate between a clamping position and a releasing position. The pressing block 1133 is fixedly connected to the rotating block 1132. When the clamping drive 1131 drives the rotating block 1132 to rotate to the clamping position, the pressing block 1133 presses against the support 20, pressing the support 20 into the support pre-placement groove. When the clamping drive 1131 drives the rotating block 1132 to rotate to the releasing position, the pressing block 1133 disengages from the support 20.

[0104] Furthermore, such as Figure 11 and Figure 13 As shown, the roller pressing assembly 114 includes a second drive assembly 1141, a roller guide 1143, and a third drive assembly 1142. The roller guide 1143 has a roller guide groove 1144. A portion of the roller guide groove 1144 is located radially outside the second positioning notch 1121 on the bracket 20. This portion of the roller guide groove 1144 is the roller pre-placement position 111, and the guiding direction of this portion of the roller guide groove 1144 is parallel to the tangent line on the side wall of the bracket pre-placement groove where the second positioning notch 1121 is located. The roller guide 1143 has a through hole 1145 that penetrates the roller guide 1143 radially along the bracket 20 at the roller pre-placement position 111.

[0105] The driving end of the second driving component 1141 can be inserted into the roller guide groove 1144, and the driving end of the second driving component 1141 can move in the guiding direction of the roller guide groove 1144.

[0106] The drive end of the third drive assembly 1142 can be inserted into the through hole 1145 to press the roller 30 of the roller pre-placement position 111 onto the roller mounting shaft on the bracket 20.

[0107] During assembly, the roller 30 is first fed into the roller guide groove 1144. Then, the second drive assembly 1141 pushes the roller 30 to the roller pre-positioning position 111, where the central opening of the roller 30 at the roller pre-positioning position 111 is exactly opposite to the roller mounting shaft. Afterward, the third drive assembly 1142 presses the roller 30 at the roller pre-positioning position 111 onto the roller mounting shaft on the bracket 20. When the roller 30 is pushed to the roller pre-positioning position 111 by the second drive assembly 1141, the side of the roller 30 facing away from the second drive assembly 1141 blocks the other part of the roller guide 1143, thereby ensuring that the roller 30 is stably positioned at the roller pre-positioning position 111.

[0108] Furthermore, in one embodiment, such as Figure 12 As shown, the roller delivery mechanism 12 includes a vibratory feeder 121 and a conveyor belt 122. The vibratory feeder 121 has a storage space 1211 for storing the rollers 30 and a roller outlet. The conveyor belt 122 is arranged between the roller outlet and the roller guide groove 1144 for conveying the rollers 30 from the roller outlet to the roller guide groove 1144.

[0109] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the transfer mechanism 14 includes a first mechanical claw 141 and a second mechanical claw 142. The first mechanical claw 141 is used to transfer the bracket 20 of the bracket output position 131 to the bracket pre-placement position 112, and the second mechanical claw 142 is used to remove the roller bracket assembly assembled in the bracket pre-placement position 112.

[0110] This allows the transport process of the bracket 20 to be assembled to be synchronized with the transport process of the assembled roller bracket assembly, further improving the assembly efficiency of the roller bracket assembly equipment 10.
