Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a modular group assembly production line. Background Art

[0002] Currently, sheet metal chassis, with their advantages of light weight, high strength, and low cost, have gradually replaced die-cast chassis as the mainstream in the power industry. The assembly of sheet metal chassis requires the arrangement of several assembly stations within a certain production area according to the process flow and requirements. The chassis are then moved between these stations, with a single assembly team completing the corresponding assembly process at each station. However, some companies still rely on manual transportation of sheet metal chassis using tools such as carts to move them between assembly stations. This method not only has low turnover efficiency but also high labor costs.

[0003] In order to improve turnover efficiency and reduce labor costs, some companies choose to use conveyor lines to transport the sheet metal chassis to achieve turnover. When using the conveyor line for turnover, the accessories of the sheet metal chassis need to be placed in the production line tooling, and the conveyor line is used to transport the production line tooling between various assembly stations. For example, the Chinese patent with publication number CN215588413U discloses a production assembly line based on a medical CT machine control cabinet, which includes a conveyor frame (equivalent to a conveyor line). The conveyor frame connects multiple assembly stations together, and the production line tooling is placed on the conveyor frame so that the production line tooling can be transported and circulated between multiple assembly stations through the conveyor frame. However, the conveyor frame can only transport the production line tooling in one direction, and cannot transport the production line tooling in a circular flow. After the production line tooling is transported to the end of the conveyor frame, it is necessary to manually move the production line tooling at the end of the conveyor frame to the starting end of the conveyor frame, which is inconvenient to use, the labor cost is still high, and the labor intensity of the workers is high.

[0140] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the turnover conveyor line 100 may further include a terminal conveying mechanism 10, a fifth lifting conveying mechanism 11 and a sixth lifting conveying mechanism 12; wherein,

[0141] The main conveying mechanism 4 is further provided with a transfer position. The positioning position is located in front of the transfer position in the conveying direction of the main conveying mechanism 4. That is, when the main conveying mechanism 4 conveys the production line tooling 1, the production line tooling 1 will first pass through all the positioning positions and then be conveyed to the transfer position.

[0142] The fifth lifting and conveying mechanism 11 is installed on the main conveying mechanism 4, and is used to lift the production line tooling 1 located in the transfer position and then convey the lifted production line tooling 1 to the sixth lifting and conveying mechanism 12;

[0143] The sixth lifting and conveying mechanism 12 is installed on the terminal conveying mechanism 10. The sixth lifting and conveying mechanism 12 is used to lower the production line tooling 1 after receiving the production line tooling 1 delivered by the fifth lifting and conveying mechanism 11 so that the production line tooling 1 falls on the terminal conveying mechanism 10;

[0144] The terminal conveying mechanism 10 is used to convey the production line tooling 1 to the return conveying line 200 .

[0145] In this embodiment, the starting conveying mechanism 2 is used to convey the production line tooling 1 to the first assembly station 300, which is the assembly station 300 located at the front end in the conveying direction of the main conveying mechanism 4. Except for the first assembly station 300, each assembly station 300 corresponds to one of the assembly conveying mechanisms 5.

[0146] In this embodiment, there are three assembly stations 300. Taking the three assembly stations 300 as an example, the workflow of the turnover conveyor line 100 is described as follows: first, the return conveyor line 200 conveys an empty production line tool 1 to the starting conveyor mechanism 2. The starting conveyor mechanism 2 conveys the production line tool 1 to the first assembly station 300. The worker in the first assembly station 300 performs the first assembly process and places the assembled semi-finished product into the production line tool 1 on the starting conveyor mechanism 2. Then, the first lifting conveyor mechanism 6 lifts and lifts the production line tool 1 on the starting conveyor mechanism 2 and conveys the production line tool 1 to the second lifting conveyor mechanism 7. The second lifting conveyor mechanism 7 descends to allow the production line tool 1 to land on the transfer conveyor mechanism 3. The transfer conveyor mechanism 3 conveys the production line tool 1 to the third lifting conveyor mechanism 8. Then, the third lifting conveyor mechanism 8 descends to allow the production line tool 1 to land on the main conveyor mechanism 4.

[0147] The main conveying mechanism 4 then conveys the production line tooling 1 to the first positioning position, and then the corresponding fourth lifting conveying mechanism 9 rises to lift the production line tooling 1 in the first positioning position and conveys the lifted production line tooling 1 to the corresponding assembly conveying mechanism 5. The assembly conveying mechanism 5 then conveys the production line tooling 1 to the second assembly station 300. The worker in the second assembly station 300 takes the semi-finished product from the production line tooling 1 for the second assembly process. After assembly is completed, the semi-finished product is placed back into the production line tooling 1. The corresponding assembly conveying mechanism 5 then conveys the production line tooling 1 back to the corresponding fourth lifting conveying mechanism 9, which then descends to allow the production line tooling 1 to fall back into the first positioning position.

[0148] Then the main conveying mechanism 4 continues to convey the production line tooling 1 to transport the production line tooling 1 to the second positioning position, and then the corresponding fourth lifting conveying mechanism 9 rises to support the production line tooling 1 in the second positioning position and transports the supported production line tooling 1 to the corresponding assembly conveying mechanism 5. The assembly conveying mechanism 5 transports the production line tooling 1 to the third assembly station 300. The workers in the third assembly station 300 take the semi-finished products in the production line tooling 1 to perform the third assembly process. After the assembly is completed, the finished product is obtained. The workers place the finished product on a dedicated pallet without putting the finished product back into the production line tooling 1. Then the assembly conveying mechanism 5 corresponding to the third assembly station 300 transports the empty production line tooling 1 to the corresponding fourth lifting conveying mechanism 9. The fourth lifting conveying mechanism 9 descends again to allow the empty production line tooling 1 to fall back to the second positioning position, and then the main conveying mechanism 4 transports the empty production line tooling 1 to the transfer position.

[0149] Then, the fifth lifting conveyor mechanism 11 rises and lifts the production line tooling 1 in the transfer position, and transfers the lifted production line tooling 1 to the sixth lifting conveyor mechanism 12. The sixth lifting conveyor mechanism 12 receives the production line tooling 1 delivered by the fifth lifting conveyor mechanism 11 and then descends to allow the production line tooling 1 to land on the terminal conveyor mechanism 10. The terminal conveyor mechanism 10 then transfers the production line tooling 1 to the return conveyor line 200.

[0150] Among them, the starting end of the entire turnover conveyor line 100 is the starting conveying mechanism 2, and the end of the entire turnover conveyor line 100 is the end conveying mechanism 10. The starting conveying mechanism 2, the transfer conveying mechanism 3, the main conveying mechanism 4, the assembly conveying mechanism 5 and the end conveying mechanism 10 can be installed with position sensors to sense the position of the production line tooling 1.

[0151] like Figure 6 As shown, at least one of the first lifting conveying mechanism 6, the second lifting conveying mechanism 7, the third lifting conveying mechanism 8, the fourth lifting conveying mechanism 9, the fifth lifting conveying mechanism 11 and the sixth lifting conveying mechanism 12 respectively includes:

[0152] A fixing seat 13, wherein the fixing seat 13 is fixedly arranged;

[0153] A lifting seat 14, wherein the lifting seat 14 is slidably connected to the fixed seat 13 in an up-down direction;

[0154] At least one conveying assembly 15, wherein the conveying assembly 15 is connected to the lifting base 14;

[0155] A lifting drive 16 , which is mounted on the fixed base 13 , is connected to the lifting base 14 and is used to drive the lifting base 14 upwards, thereby driving the conveying assembly 15 upwards to lift the production line tooling 1 ;

[0156] A conveying drive component is installed on the lifting seat 14 and is connected to the conveying component 15 and is used to drive the conveying component 15 to move the production line tooling 1.

[0157] Specifically, in the fourth lifting and conveying mechanism 9, the lifting drive 16 drives the lifting seat 14 to rise, thereby driving the conveying assembly 15 to rise to lift the production line tooling 1 in the positioning position, and then the conveying drive drives the conveying assembly 15 to move to convey the production line tooling 1 to the corresponding assembly conveying mechanism 5. More specifically, in the fourth lifting and conveying mechanism 9, when the lifting drive 16 drives the lifting seat 14 to descend, it can drive the conveying assembly 15 to descend, thereby allowing the lifted production line tooling 1 to fall onto the main conveying mechanism 4. The lifting drive 16 can be a lifting cylinder, which is connected to the fixed seat 13 and connected to the lifting seat 14. The lifting seat 14 is slidably connected to the fixed seat 13 through a plurality of guide shafts 17, thereby preventing the lifting seat 14 from tipping over.

[0158] like Figure 6 As shown, the lifting seat 14 may include a bottom plate 18 and a vertical plate 19 corresponding to the conveying assembly 15;

[0159] The conveying assembly 15 includes a conveyor belt 20 and at least two pulleys 21;

[0160] The bottom plate 18 is slidably connected to the fixing seat 13 in the up-down direction;

[0161] The vertical plate 19 is connected to the bottom plate 18;

[0162] The pulley 21 is rotatably connected to the corresponding vertical plate 19;

[0163] The conveyor belt 20 is connected to the pulley 21 and is used to support the production line tooling 1;

[0164] The conveying drive is connected to the pulley 21 and is used to drive the pulley 21 to rotate and thereby drive the conveyor belt 20 to move to convey the production line tooling 1; in this embodiment, there are two of each of the vertical plate 19 and the conveying assembly 15, and the conveying assembly 15 corresponds one-to-one with the vertical plate 19 and is installed on the corresponding vertical plate 19. The starting conveying mechanism 2, the transfer conveying mechanism 3, the main conveying mechanism 4, the assembly conveying mechanism 5 and the terminal conveying mechanism 10 can all be roller conveying mechanisms, and the roller conveying mechanism includes a frame and a plurality of conveying rollers; wherein, the vertical plate 19 and the conveying assembly 15 are used to pass through the gap between the conveying rollers and thereby lift the production line tooling 1, and the fixed seat 13 is used to be fixedly connected to the corresponding frame. Specifically, the specific structure of the roller conveying mechanism is an existing technology well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0165] like Figure 6As shown, the conveying drive member includes a conveying motor and a drive shaft 22. The drive shaft 22 is rotatably connected to the base plate 18 and connected to the pulley 21. The conveying motor is connected to the base plate 18 and is in transmission connection with the drive shaft 22. The conveying motor drives the drive shaft 22 to rotate, thereby driving the pulley 21 to rotate, and further driving the conveyor belt 20. The vertical plate 19 is also connected to a support block 23 for supporting the conveyor belt 20.

[0166] like Figure 1 、 2 As shown in , 4, and 6, the modular group assembly production line may further include a temporary storage conveying mechanism 24 and a seventh lifting conveying mechanism 25 corresponding to the temporary storage conveying mechanism 24; wherein,

[0167] The main conveying mechanism 4 is provided with a temporary storage position corresponding to the seventh lifting conveying mechanism 25;

[0168] The seventh lifting and conveying mechanism 25 is installed on the main conveying mechanism 4. The seventh lifting and conveying mechanism 25 is used to lift up the production line tooling 1 at the corresponding temporary storage position and convey the lifted production line tooling 1 to the corresponding temporary storage conveying mechanism 24. The seventh lifting and conveying mechanism 25 is also used to receive the production line tooling 1 delivered by the corresponding temporary storage conveying mechanism 24 and then lower it to allow the production line tooling 1 to fall back onto the main conveying mechanism 4.

[0169] The temporary storage conveying mechanism 24 is used to receive the production line tooling 1 delivered by the corresponding seventh lifting conveying mechanism 25, and to convey the production line tooling 1 back to the seventh lifting conveying mechanism 25; in this embodiment, the temporary storage conveying mechanism 24 corresponds one-to-one to the seventh lifting conveying mechanism 25; in the conveying direction of the main conveying mechanism 4, two temporary storage conveying mechanisms 24 are provided in front of each of the assembly conveying mechanisms 5.

[0170] Specifically, when one of the production line tools 1 is parked in the assembly conveyor mechanism 5, the remaining production line tools 1 on the main conveyor mechanism 4 can be temporarily transported to the temporary storage conveyor mechanism 24 for temporary storage. After the production line tools 1 in the assembly conveyor mechanism 5 are sent away, the production line tools 1 in the temporary storage conveyor mechanism 24 are transported to the main conveyor mechanism 4 and then to the assembly conveyor mechanism 5, thereby achieving a good production rhythm and avoiding the rhythm mismatch problem between multiple processes. More specifically, the temporary storage conveyor mechanism 24 is also a roller conveyor mechanism, and the seventh lifting conveyor mechanism 25 has the same structure as the fourth lifting conveyor mechanism 9, and the installation method and working principle are also the same.

[0171] like Figure 4 、 5As shown in Figures 7 and 8, the terminal conveying mechanism 10 is provided with at least one waiting position for storing the production line tooling 1. Positioning assemblies are respectively provided in the positioning position, the temporary storage position, the transfer position, and the waiting position. The positioning assembly includes a positioning cylinder 26 and a positioning baffle 27. The positioning cylinder 26 is fixedly arranged, and the positioning baffle 27 is connected to the positioning cylinder 26. The positioning cylinder 26 is used to drive the positioning baffle 27 to rise so that the positioning baffle 27 blocks the production line tooling 1 and thus accurately stops the production line tooling 1 at the corresponding position; when the positioning cylinder 26 drives the positioning baffle 27 to lower, the production line tooling 1 can smoothly pass through the corresponding position.

[0172] like Figure 1 、 8 As shown in Figures 9 and 12, the reflux conveying line 200 may be, for example but not limited to, the following structure, which includes a first lifting mechanism 400, a second lifting mechanism 500, and a slope conveying mechanism 600; wherein,

[0173] The slope conveying mechanism 600 is provided between the first lifting mechanism 400 and the second lifting mechanism 500, and the slope conveying mechanism 600 is provided at an angle;

[0174] The first lifting mechanism 400 is connected to the higher end of the inclined conveying mechanism 600. The first lifting mechanism 400 is used to receive the production line tooling 1 at the end of the turnover conveying line 100, lift the received production line tooling 1, and then transport it to the higher end of the inclined conveying mechanism 600 so that the production line tooling 1 slides along the inclined conveying mechanism 600 to the lower end of the inclined conveying mechanism 600.

[0175] The second lifting mechanism 500 is connected to the lower end of the inclined conveying mechanism 600. The second lifting mechanism 500 is used to receive the production line tooling 1 delivered by the inclined conveying mechanism 600, lift the production line tooling 1, and then transport it to the starting end of the turnover conveyor line 100. Specifically, the first lifting mechanism 400 is used to receive the production line tooling 1 delivered by the terminal conveying mechanism 10, and the second lifting mechanism 500 is used to transport the production line tooling 1 to the starting conveying mechanism 2. In this embodiment, the inclined conveying mechanism 600 has the advantage of low cost and uses gravity for transportation, so the cost of use is also low.

[0176] like Figure 1 、 8 As shown in Figure 12, the return conveying line 200 may further include a fixing frame 28;

[0177] The ramp conveying mechanism 600 may be, for example but not limited to, the following structure, which includes a left side roller rail 29, a right side roller rail 30 and at least one bottom roller rail 31;

[0178] The left side roller rail 29 and the right side roller rail 30 are both obliquely connected to the fixing frame 28, and a slope passage for the production line tooling 1 to pass through is provided between the left side roller rail 29 and the right side roller rail 30;

[0179] The bottom roller rail 31 is connected obliquely to the fixed frame 28 and is used to support the production line tooling 1 in the inclined channel. Specifically, because the left side roller rail 29, the right side roller rail 30, and the bottom roller rail 31 are all inclined, the production line tooling 1 can slide downward obliquely under the action of gravity without the need for power. In this embodiment, the left side roller rail 29, the right side roller rail 30, and the bottom roller rail 31 are all smooth bars.

[0180] The inclined conveying mechanism 600 is provided with at least one cache position for storing the production line tooling 1. Specifically, when one of the production line tooling 1 is parked in the first lifting mechanism 400, the remaining production line tooling 1 in the terminal conveying mechanism 10 is temporarily parked in the waiting position. When one of the production line tooling 1 is parked in the second lifting mechanism 500, the remaining production line tooling 1 in the inclined conveying mechanism 600 is parked in the cache position and is waiting. More specifically, the cache position is provided with a blocking component connected to the fixed frame 28. The blocking component is used to move to abut against the production line tooling 1 in the corresponding cache position to prevent the production line tooling 1 from sliding downward. The blocking component is also used to move to disengage from the abutment with the production line tooling 1 in the corresponding cache position to allow the production line tooling 1 to slide downward along the inclined conveying mechanism 600 into the second lifting mechanism 500. In this embodiment, the material blocking component includes a material blocking cylinder 32, and a material blocking rod is connected to the material blocking cylinder 32. When the material blocking cylinder 32 is extended, the material blocking rod blocks the production line tooling 1 and prevents the production line tooling 1 from sliding downward. When the material blocking cylinder 32 is retracted, the material blocking rod also retracts and disengages from the production line tooling 1, and then the production line tooling 1 slides obliquely downward along the inclined conveying mechanism 600 under the action of gravity. In this embodiment, the material blocking cylinders 32 correspond one-to-one to the buffer positions.

[0181] like Figures 8-11 As shown, the first lifting mechanism 400 is, for example but not limited to, the following structure, which includes a first frame 33, a first conveying mechanism 34 and a first driving mechanism 35; wherein,

[0182] The first conveying mechanism 34 is slidably connected to the first frame 33 in the up-down direction and has a receiving position and a feeding position during the sliding process. When the first conveying mechanism 34 is at the receiving position, it is used to receive the production line tooling 1 delivered from the end of the turnover conveyor line 100. When the first conveying mechanism 34 is at the feeding position, it is used to convey the production line tooling 1 to the higher end of the inclined conveying mechanism 600.

[0183] The first driving mechanism 35 is connected to the first conveying mechanism 34 and is used to drive the first conveying mechanism 34 to move up and down between the material receiving position and the material feeding position; in this embodiment, the material receiving position is located below the material feeding position, and the conveying direction of the first conveying mechanism 34 is the same as the conveying direction of the slope conveying mechanism 600; specifically, when the first conveying mechanism 34 is located at the material receiving position, the first conveying mechanism 34 is connected with the end conveying mechanism 10, and when the first conveying mechanism 34 is located at the material feeding position, the first conveying mechanism 34 is connected with the slope conveying mechanism 600.

[0184] like Figure 8 、 12 As shown, the second lifting mechanism 500 is, for example but not limited to, the following structure, which includes a second frame 36, a second conveying mechanism 37, a second driving mechanism 38 and a material receiving mechanism 39; wherein,

[0186] The second conveying mechanism 37 is slidably connected to the second frame 36 in the up-down direction and has an initial position during the sliding process. When the second conveying mechanism 37 is at the initial position, the second conveying mechanism 37 is located below the production line tooling 1 on the material receiving mechanism 39;

[0187] The second drive mechanism 38 is connected to the second conveying mechanism 37 and is used to drive the second conveying mechanism 37 upward to lift the production line tooling 1 on the material receiving mechanism 39. After the second conveying mechanism 37 is raised into position, it is used to transport the lifted production line tooling 1 to the starting end of the turnover conveyor line 100. In this embodiment, the conveying direction of the second conveying mechanism 37 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the inclined conveying mechanism 600; specifically, when the second conveying mechanism 37 is raised into position, the second conveying mechanism 37 is connected to the starting conveying mechanism 2.

[0188] like Figures 9-12As shown, the first driving mechanism 35 may be, for example but not limited to, the following structure, which includes a first winding device, a first traction rope 40, at least one first end pulley 41, at least one second end pulley 42, at least one first top pulley 43 and at least one second top pulley 44; wherein,

[0189] The first end pulley 41 is rotatably connected to one end of the first conveying mechanism 34;

[0190] The second end pulley 42 is rotatably connected to the other end of the first conveying mechanism 34;

[0191] The first top pulley 43 and the second top pulley 44 are both rotatably connected to the upper end of the first frame 33;

[0192] One end of the first traction rope 40 is connected to the upper end of the first frame 33. The first traction rope 40 is sequentially connected to the first end pulley 41, the first top pulley 43, the second end pulley 42 and the second top pulley 44 and then connected to the first winding device.

[0193] The first winding device is connected to the first frame 33 and is used to wind up the first traction rope 40 to drive the first conveying mechanism 34 to rise upward. In this embodiment, there are three first end pulleys 41, five first top pulleys 43, two second end pulleys 42, and two second top pulleys 44.

[0194] The second driving mechanism 38 is, for example but not limited to, the following structure, which includes a second winding device, a second traction rope, at least one third end pulley, at least one fourth end pulley, at least one third top pulley and at least one fourth top pulley; wherein,

[0195] The third end pulley is rotatably connected to one end of the second conveying mechanism 37;

[0196] The fourth end pulley is rotatably connected to the other end of the second conveying mechanism 37;

[0197] The third top pulley and the fourth top pulley are both rotatably connected to the upper end of the second frame 36;

[0198] One end of the second traction rope is connected to the upper end of the second frame 36, and the second traction rope is sequentially connected to the third end pulley, the third top pulley, the fourth end pulley and the fourth top pulley and then connected to the second winding device;

[0199] The second reel is connected to the second frame 36 and is used to reel in the second traction rope to drive the second conveying mechanism 37 upward. In this embodiment, there are three third end pulleys, five third top pulleys, two fourth end pulleys, and two fourth top pulleys. The first and second reel devices each include a rotatable drum 45 and a reduction motor 46 for driving the drum 45.

[0200] Specifically, the first end pulley 41, the second end pulley 42, the third end pulley, the fourth end pulley, the first top pulley 43, the second top pulley 44, the third top pulley and the fourth top pulley are respectively fixed by means of cantilever pins and retaining springs, thereby avoiding jamming and displacement during rotation.

[0201] More specifically, the above-described structures of the first drive mechanism 35 and the second drive mechanism 38 offer the advantages of uniform force distribution and high synchronization. Furthermore, the first lifting mechanism 400 is equipped with a position sensor to sense the position of the first conveying mechanism 34, thereby ensuring accurate start and stop, and smooth lifting and lowering of the first conveying mechanism 34. The second lifting mechanism 500 is also equipped with a position sensor to sense the position of the second conveying mechanism 37, thereby ensuring accurate start and stop, and smooth lifting and lowering of the second conveying mechanism 37.

[0202] like Figures 8-12 As shown, the first conveying mechanism 34 may include a first sliding frame 47 and at least two first conveying rollers 48; wherein,

[0203] The first sliding frame 47 is slidably connected to the first frame 33 in the up-down direction;

[0204] The first conveying roller 48 is rotatably connected to the first sliding frame 47. The first conveying roller 48 is used to carry the production line tooling 1 and convey the production line tooling 1 while rotating.

[0205] The second transport mechanism 37 may include a second sliding frame 49 and at least two second transport rollers 50; wherein,

[0206] The second sliding frame 49 is slidably connected to the second frame 36 in the up-down direction;

[0207] The second conveying roller 50 is rotatably connected to the second sliding frame 49. The second conveying roller 50 is used to carry the production line tooling 1 and transport the production line tooling 1 while rotating. In this embodiment, the first conveying roller 48 and the second conveying roller 50 are both electric rollers. The electric roller is preferably a 24V DC brushless roller. Its specific structure is an existing technology well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail in this embodiment. Specifically, the first conveying roller 48 is used to receive the production line tooling 1 delivered from the end of the turnover conveyor line 100 while rotating and to transport the production line tooling 1 to the higher end of the inclined conveying mechanism 600. The second conveying roller 50 is used to lift the production line tooling 1 on the material receiving mechanism 39 and to transport the lifted production line tooling 1 to the starting end of the turnover conveyor line 100.

[0208] like Figure 12 As shown, the material receiving mechanism 39 may have, for example but not limited to, the following structure, which includes at least one material receiving roller slide 51 and a bracket 52 corresponding to the material receiving roller slide 51;

[0209] The bracket 52 is connected to the second frame 36;

[0210] The material receiving roller slide 51 is connected to the bracket 52 and is used to pass through the gap between adjacent second conveying rollers 50 when the second conveying mechanism 37 descends to the initial position, thereby causing the second conveying roller 50 to descend below the material receiving roller slide 51, and then when the second conveying roller 50 is raised, it can lift the production line tooling 1 carried on the material receiving roller slide 51; specifically, the material receiving roller slide 51 is a smooth strip.

[0211] like Figure 1 、 2 , 13 to 17, the assembly station 300 may be provided with an operating table 53 and a material rack 700, and the material rack 700 may have, for example but not limited to, the following structure, which includes a frame 54, at least one feed slide mechanism 55, a transfer track 56 corresponding to the feed slide mechanism 55, a discharge slide mechanism 57 corresponding to the transfer track 56, and a swing drive member 58 corresponding to the transfer track 56; wherein,

[0212] The feed rail mechanism 55 and the discharge rail mechanism 57 are both connected obliquely to the frame 54 , and the feed rail mechanism 55 is used to receive a material box 59 containing accessories;

[0213] The transfer rail 56 is swingably connected to the frame 54 and has a feeding position and a discharging position during the swinging process. When the transfer rail 56 swings to the feeding position, the transfer rail 56 is connected with the lower end of the corresponding feeding slide mechanism 55 so that the material box 59 in the feeding slide mechanism 55 slides into the corresponding transfer rail 56. When the transfer rail 56 swings to the discharging position, the transfer rail 56 is connected with the higher end of the corresponding discharging slide mechanism 57 so that the material box 59 in the transfer rail 56 slides into the corresponding discharging slide mechanism 57.

[0214] The swing drive member 58 is connected to the corresponding transfer rail 56 and is used to drive the transfer rail 56 to swing between the feed position and the discharge position. Specifically, because the feed rail mechanism 55 and the discharge rail mechanism 57 are both inclined, the material bin 59 slides downwardly and tilted in both the feed rail mechanism 55 and the discharge rail mechanism 57 under the action of gravity. More specifically, when the transfer rail 56 is in the feed position, the tilt direction of the transfer rail 56 is consistent with that of the feed rail mechanism 55. When the transfer rail 56 is in the discharge position, the tilt direction of the transfer rail 56 is consistent with that of the discharge rail mechanism 57. First, the swing drive member 58 drives the transfer rail 56 to swing to the feed position. The full material bin 59 stored in the feed rail mechanism 55 slides into the transfer rail 56 under the action of gravity. At this point, the staff can remove the parts in the material bin 59 and place them on the operating table 53 for assembly, thereby making the assembly operation more convenient. When all the parts in the bin 59 on the transfer track 56 are removed, the swing drive 58 drives the transfer track 56 to swing to the discharge position, so that the empty bin 59 in the transfer track 56 slides under gravity into the corresponding discharge slide mechanism 57 for storage. The frame 54 can be constructed of third-generation aluminum profile lean tubes.

[0215] like Figure 14 、 15As shown in Figure 17, at least one storage position for storing the material box 59 is provided in the feed slide mechanism 55, and the feed slide mechanism 55 also includes a blocking mechanism 60 corresponding to the storage position, the blocking mechanism 60 is connected to the frame 54 and is used to move to abut against the material box 59 in the corresponding storage position to prevent the material box 59 from sliding downward, and the blocking mechanism 60 is also used to move to disengage from the abutment with the material box 59 in the corresponding storage position to allow the material box 59 to slide downward along the feed slide mechanism 55; specifically, the blocking mechanism 60 includes a blocking cylinder, and a blocking rod is connected to the blocking cylinder. When the blocking cylinder is extended, the blocking rod blocks the material box 59 and prevents the material box 59 from sliding downward. When the blocking cylinder is retracted, the blocking rod is also retracted and disengaged from the abutment with the material box 59, and then the material box 59 slides obliquely downward along the feed slide mechanism 55 under the action of gravity.
