[0039] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, and not all of the structures.

[0040] In the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0041] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0042] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," and "right," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used only for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0043] The electronic component assembly equipment provided in this embodiment can be used to assemble electronic components such as card edge connectors.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, the electronic component assembly line mainly includes a first material receiving device 1, a second material receiving device 2, an assembly device 3, and a material transfer device 4.

[0045] First material receiving device 1 is used to supply the first material (insulating body).

[0046] like Figure 2 As shown, the first material receiving device 1 includes a flow channel 10, a feeding mechanism 11, a pushing mechanism 12, and a blocking mechanism 13.

[0047] The flow channel 10 has a tooling frame 100 and a flow channel path 101 formed on the tooling frame 100. Given the elongated shape of the first material, the flow channel path 101 is designed to be straight and the vertical cross section is an inverted U-shape, that is, the first material is placed horizontally in the flow channel path 101.

[0048] In addition, to ensure that the first material moves and stops stably in the flow path 101, a number of elastic pressure members 102 are also provided at intervals along the extension direction of the flow path 101 to elastically press the first material in the flow path 101.

[0049] The specific structure of the elastic pressure member 102 is as follows: it has a mounting block A1020, a mounting block B1021 and multiple rollers. The number of rollers can be 2-3, and the number is not limited. The mounting block A1020 is fixed on the upper outer side of the flow path 101. The mounting block B1021 is elastically connected to the mounting block A1020. At the same time, the lower end of the mounting block B1021 extends freely into the flow path 101, and multiple rollers are installed on the lower end of the mounting block B1021 to elastically and rollingly press the first material.

[0050] A number of sliders 103 are fixed on the upright side of the tooling frame 100, which are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the flow path 101.

[0051] The feeding mechanism 11 has a transmission rail 110, multiple shift forks 111, and a feeding power unit 112. The transmission rail 110 can be slidably connected to a number of sliders 103. The multiple shift forks 111 are spaced apart on the transmission rail 110 along the extension direction of the flow path 101. The feeding power unit 112 can drive the transmission rail 110 to move horizontally. That is, the feeding power unit 112 drives the transmission rail 110 to move horizontally, thereby driving the multiple shift forks 111 to move in the same direction, thereby pushing the first material placed in the flow path 101 to move.

[0052] Furthermore, the fork 111 is arranged at an angle and placed outside the flow path 101, that is, the fork 111 pushes against the part of the first material that extends outside the flow path 101.

[0053] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the shift fork 111 includes a fixed base 1111, a fork body 1112, a spring 1113, and a pin 1114. The fixed base 1111 is fixedly connected to the transmission rail 110. The right end of the fork body 1112 is rotatably connected to the fixed base 1111 via the pin 1114. The bottom surface of the left end of the fork body 1112 is elastically connected to the fixed base 1111 via the spring 1113. The top surface of the fork body 1112 and the left end face of the fork body 1112 are set at an acute angle so that the top surface of the fork body 1112 is a slope. When the fork 1112 moves to the left with the transmission rail 110, the left end of the inclined plane moves against the first material. When the fork 1112 moves to the right with the transmission rail 110, due to the action of the inclined plane and the spring 1113, the fork's downward spring is compressed, and the fork 1112 will not push the first material back. Thus, the fork 111 pushes the material unidirectionally along the conveying direction of the flow path 101. This structure is simple, has low noise, and realizes unidirectional pushing of the first material on the flow channel 101.

[0054] Furthermore, the material feeding power unit 112 can adopt a structure such as "motor and lead screw combination", "motor, synchronous belt and pulley combination", or "motor, gear and rack combination".

[0055] In addition, the number of material feeding power units 112 is determined according to production needs and is not limited here.

[0056] A push station is provided on the flow channel 10, and the upper part of the flow channel path 101 located at the push station is movable.

[0057] The pushing mechanism 12 is located at the pushing station and is used to push the first material out of the flow path 101.

[0058] Specifically, the pushing mechanism 12 has a pushing cylinder 120 and a pushing plate 121. The pushing cylinder 120 is fixed on the tooling frame 100. The piston rod of the pushing cylinder 120 points into the flow path 101. One side of the pushing plate 121 is connected to the piston rod of the pushing cylinder 120, and the other side is connected to the upper part of the flow path 101.

[0059] When the piston rod of the pusher cylinder 120 extends, it drives the upper part of the flow path 101 to move, and then pushes out the first material by means of the elastic pressure member 102 on the upper part of the flow path 101.

[0060] The blocking mechanism 13 is also located at the pushing station to block the first material that walks to the pushing station, and works in conjunction with the pushing mechanism 12.

[0061] Specifically, the blocking mechanism 13 has a stop lever 130 and a stop lever lifting power unit 131 that drives the stop lever 130 to rise and fall.

[0062] The gear lever lifting power unit 131 is configured according to the production cycle. It can be automatic, such as using a lifting cylinder, or manual, such as using an elbow clamp.

[0063] The second material feeding device 2 is used to supply the second material (ear clips).

[0064] like Figure 4 As shown, the second material receiving device 2 includes a vibratory feeder 20 and a conveying channel 21. The inlet of the conveying channel 21 is connected to and communicates with the outlet of the vibratory feeder 20, and the outlet of the conveying channel 21 extends to the side of the assembly station of the workbench 300 described below. Since the vibratory feeder 20 is a conventional device in the art, it will not be described in detail here.

[0065] Assembly device 3 is used to assemble the second material (ear clip) onto the first material (insulating body).

[0066] like Figures 5-7As shown, the assembly device 3 includes a flipping and positioning mechanism 30, a receiving mechanism 31, and a loading and assembly mechanism 32. The flipping and positioning mechanism 30 is used to flip the first material from a horizontal state to a vertical state and move the vertically positioned first material to the assembly station. The receiving mechanism 31 is used to receive the second material conveyed from the second material receiving device 2. The loading and assembly mechanism 32 is used to assemble the second material onto the first material and push the assembled product to the unloading position.

[0067] The specific structure of each of the above-mentioned institutions is described in detail below:

[0068] like Figure 5 As shown, the flipping positioning mechanism 30 includes a workbench 300, a flipping seat 301, and a pushing mechanism 302.

[0069] The workbench 300 is located next to the pushing station of the first material receiving device 1. A walking path 3000 for the first material to travel is provided on the upper side of the workbench 300, and the extension direction of the walking path 3000 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the flow channel path 101.

[0070] The flipping seat 301 is installed on the side of the workbench 300 near the pushing station. That is, the flipping seat 301 connects the pushing station of the first material receiving device 1 to one end of the travel path 3000. At the same time, a recess is formed on the side of the flipping seat 301 facing away from the pushing station. This recess is used to fit with the push plate 3020 of the pushing mechanism 302 described below. It can be understood that the side of the flipping seat 301 facing away from the flow path 101 has an arc-shaped slope. Under the action of the first material's own gravity and the guiding action of the arc-shaped slope, the first material can be flipped from a horizontal state to a vertical state.

[0071] Correspondingly, a walking stop assembly is also provided at one end of the walking path 3000. The walking stop assembly has a baffle 3030 that can be vertically moved on the workbench 300, and a baffle lifting cylinder 3031 that can drive the baffle 3030 to move up and down. Before the first material on the flipping seat 301 slides down the arc-shaped inclined plane, the baffle lifting cylinder 3031 drives the baffle 3030 to extend upward to stop and maintain the vertical state of the first material. When the pushing mechanism 302 pushes the first material, the baffle lifting cylinder 3031 will drive the baffle 3030 to retract downward.

[0072] The pushing mechanism 302 has a push plate 3020 and a pushing cylinder 3021. The push plate 3020 is slidably disposed in the work frame 300 along the extension direction of the travel path 3000. A slot step is formed on the upper side of the push plate 3020, which can be engaged with the upright side of the first material. The pushing cylinder 3021 can push the push plate 3020 to move.

[0073] The working principle of the flipping seat 301 is as follows: During operation, the pushing mechanism 12 of the first material receiving device 1 operates, pushing the first material out of the flow path 101 and onto the flipping seat 301. Then, under the guidance of the weight of the first material and the arc-shaped inclined surface on the flipping seat 301, the first material changes from a horizontal state to an upright state. It can be understood that after the previous first material lands on the top of the flipping seat 301, when another first material is pushed from the flow path 101 to the top of the flipping seat 301, the previous first material at the top of the flipping seat 301 is pushed down along the arc-shaped inclined surface of the flipping seat 301, changing from a horizontal state to an upright state. After sliding down, it falls into the groove formed by the travel path 3000 and the baffle 3030. Then, the pushing cylinder of the pushing mechanism drives the push plate to push the first material to the assembly station along the travel path.

[0074] The working principle of the pushing mechanism 302 is as follows: When the first material on the flipping seat 301 does not slide down the arc-shaped inclined surface, the push plate 3020 is placed in the recess of the flipping seat 301, but not higher than the flipping seat 301. When the first material changes from a horizontal state to a vertical state under its own weight and the guiding action of the arc-shaped inclined surface of the flipping seat, the pushing cylinder 3021 drives the push plate 3020 to move towards the first material, so that the slot step of the push plate 3020 engages with the vertical side of the first material (the slot step supports the first material). Then the pushing cylinder 3021 drives the push plate 3020 to continue to move forward until the first material is pushed to the assembly station.

[0075] Correspondingly, a material blocking component 304 is provided at the assembly station. The material blocking component 304 has a support base 3040 fixed at the assembly station of the workbench 300, a lifting plate 3041 vertically slidably provided on the support base 3040, and a lifting cylinder for driving the lifting plate 3041 to move up and down. Unlike the push plate 3020 structure mentioned above, a flat part for blocking and supporting the first material is formed on the upper side of the lifting plate 3041.

[0076] The first material needs to be positioned stably at the assembly station, which is achieved through the following feeding and assembly mechanism 32.

[0077] The receiving mechanisms 31 are configured in pairs and are respectively set next to the assembly station of the aforementioned workbench 300, such as... Figure 6 As shown, each receiving mechanism 31 includes a stand 310, a first receiving plate 311, a sliding cylinder 312, a second receiving plate 313, a clamping plate 314, and a receiving cylinder 315.

[0078] The upright frame 310 is located next to the assembly station of the aforementioned work frame 300. The first receiving plate 311 is installed on the top side of the upright frame 310 and close to the discharge port of the aforementioned conveying channel 21. The first receiving plate 311 is also provided with a contour groove (with the same shape as the second material) that communicates with the discharge port of the aforementioned conveying channel 21, so that the second material flowing out of the discharge port of the conveying channel 21 enters the following receiving groove through the contour groove.

[0079] The slide cylinder 312 is located on the top side of the upright 310. The second receiving plate 313 is connected to the slide cylinder 312 and can move closer to or away from the work frame 300 under the action of the slide cylinder 312. The second receiving plate 313 is provided with a product receiving groove, which can be connected to or offset from the contour groove under the action of the slide cylinder 312.

[0080] The clamping plate 314 is movably installed on the second receiving plate 313 and can extend and retract relative to the receiving groove of the second receiving plate 313 under the drive of the receiving cylinder 315, so as to limit the second material between the receiving groove and the first receiving plate 311 or release the second material from the limit.

[0081] The working principle of the receiving mechanism 31 is as follows: the second material flowing out of the discharge port of the conveying channel 21 enters the receiving groove through the contouring groove; the slide cylinder 312 works and drives the second receiving plate 313 to approach the work frame 300. At that time, the receiving groove and the contouring groove are misaligned and the contouring groove is closed to prevent the material from being continuously conveyed. The clamping plate 314 limits the second material between the receiving groove and the first receiving plate 311. This limiting method is less restricted by the product shape and can be applied to multiple products; when the feeding mechanism 321 comes to pick up the material, the limiting of the second material is released.

[0082] like Figure 7 As shown, the loading and assembly mechanism 32 includes a gantry frame 320, two loading mechanisms 321 set on the gantry frame 320, and an assembly pushing mechanism 322 set on the gantry frame 320.

[0083] The gantry 320 spans outside the aforementioned work frame 300. The crossbeam of the gantry 320 is covered with slide rails 3230 that extend along the extension direction of the aforementioned flow path 101 and are arranged vertically. The crossbeam of the gantry 320 is also provided with two guide plates 3231. Both guide plates 3231 are placed between the slide rails 3230, and each guide plate 3231 is also provided with an inverted L-shaped track. Furthermore, the two inverted L-shaped tracks are arranged in a mirror image.

[0084] Both sets of feeding mechanisms 321 are installed on the crossbeam of the gantry 320, and both sets of feeding mechanisms 321 are located above the assembly station of the workbench 300.

[0085] Both feeding mechanisms 321 have a feeding motor 3210, a reducer, a feeding cam 3211, a transverse component, a lifting component, and a material picking component.

[0086] The feeding motor 3210 and the reducer are both mounted on the crossbeam of the gantry 320, and the input end of the reducer is connected to the power output shaft of the motor. The upper end of the feeding cam 3211 is connected to the inverted L-shaped track through a cam follower, and the lower end of the feeding cam 3211 is connected to the guide plate 3231 through a rotating shaft. At the same time, the rotating shaft is also connected to the output end of the reducer through a transmission assembly. The transmission assembly can be a synchronous belt and pulley assembly, but is not limited to the above structure. The transverse movement assembly has a transverse movement plate 3. 212, the transverse plate 3212 is slidably connected to two slide rails 3230 via a slider; the lifting assembly has a lifting guide rail 3213, which is vertically slidably connected to the transverse plate 3212, and the lifting guide rail 3213 is also connected to the shaft of the cam follower; that is: the feeding motor 3210 provides power, and the reducer and the feeding cam 3211 transmit power in sequence, which can drive the cam follower to move along an inverted L-shaped trajectory, thereby driving the lifting guide rail 3213 to perform transverse and lifting movements.

[0087] The material handling assembly includes a first mounting plate 3214, a material handling lifting cylinder 3215, a material handling gripper cylinder 3216, and a contour gripper 3217. The first mounting plate 3214 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the lifting guide rail 3213. The material handling lifting cylinder 3215 and the material handling gripper cylinder 3216 are both mounted on the first mounting plate 3214. The material handling gripper cylinder 3216 can also be lifted and lowered by the material handling lifting cylinder 3215. In addition, the material handling gripper cylinder 3216 can also drive the contour gripper 3217 to open and close, so as to pick up the second material from the receiving slot and assemble it onto the first material.

[0088] The assembly pushing mechanism 322 has a second mounting plate 3220, a transverse cylinder 3221, a downward cylinder 3222, and an assembly push plate 3223. The second mounting plate 3220 is fixed to the crossbeam of the gantry frame 320 and placed between the two sets of feeding mechanisms 321. A guide rail extending along the travel path 3000 is laid on the second mounting plate 3220. The downward cylinder 3222 is slidably connected to the guide rail and can move under the drive of the transverse cylinder 3221. The assembly push plate 3223 is connected to the downward cylinder 3222 through a connecting block 3224 and can be lifted and lowered under the drive of the downward cylinder 3222. That is, the assembly push plate 3223 can push the assembled product to the unloading station under the cooperative action of the transverse cylinder 3221 and the downward cylinder 3222.

[0089] It should be noted that during the assembly process of the feeding assembly mechanism 32, the pushing part of the assembly push plate 3223 abuts against the first material, that is, the pushing part cooperates with the lifting plate 3041 of the aforementioned material blocking component 304 to stabilize the first material; and after the assembly is completed, the material blocking component 304 removes its stop on the material, and the pushing part of the assembly push plate 3223, under the coordinated action of the transverse cylinder 3221 and the downward cylinder 3222, pushes the assembled product to the unloading station.

[0090] In addition, push parts are provided on both sides of the assembly push plate 3223, which simplifies the assembly of the assembly push plate 3223.

[0091] The material transfer device 4 is used to pick up the assembled products from the unloading station and transfer them to other workstations.

[0092] like Figure 8 As shown, the material handling device 4 includes a frame 40, a transverse drive mechanism 41, and multiple sets of material handling mechanisms. The frame 40 is located next to the unloading station. The transverse drive mechanism 41 provides power for movement along the extension direction of the flow path 101, but is not limited to movement only in this direction; it is determined according to production needs. Preferably, the transverse drive mechanism 41 adopts a combination of a motor and a KK module. The multiple sets of material handling mechanisms are all connected to the output end of the transverse drive mechanism 41. Each material handling mechanism has a material handling lifting cylinder 42, a material handling gripper cylinder 43, and a material handling gripper 44. The material handling lifting cylinder 42 is installed on the output end of the transverse drive mechanism 41 and can drive the material handling gripper cylinder 43 to lift and lower. The material handling gripper cylinder 43 can drive the material handling gripper 44 to open and close.

[0093] In this implementation, the material handling mechanism is set up in multiple groups in order to move the products sequentially between the unloading station, the temporary storage platform, and other workstations according to the production rhythm.

[0094] The electronic component assembly device provided in this embodiment realizes the automatic assembly of electronic components with high assembly efficiency, high pass rate, and controllable production cycle. For example, the working cycle of the first material receiving device 1 and the material transfer device 4 can be well adapted to other workstations in the production line.

[0095] In the assembly device 3 provided in this embodiment, the flipping and positioning mechanism 30 adopts a non-powered flipping method to realize the first material flipping from a horizontal state to a vertical state, which simplifies the structure and controls the cost; the feeding and assembly mechanism 32 adopts a method in which the power unit drives the cam follower to move along the moving trajectory (inverted L-shaped trajectory) to drive the picking component to pick up and assemble materials, which can effectively improve the assembly accuracy.

[0096] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will be able to make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here.
