With the integration and miniaturization of circuit boards, many high-power components are also becoming smaller and smaller, but the heat dissipation problem cannot be ignored. Therefore, many high-power components need to be fixed with a heat sink together, and the heat generated by the power component is dissipated in time by the heat sink. In the process of fixing the power component and the heat sink together with screws, the power component may be broken due to uneven force. Therefore, it is required that the screws must be tightened in a certain order during the fixing operation, so that the force on each power component is uniform and will not be broken. However, in actual production operation, employees may not tighten the screws in the required order due to lack of quality awareness or carelessness, resulting in damage to the power component.

[0027] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application more clear, the technical scheme of the present application will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0028] The following will be described in detail with the workpiece as an electric appliance box and the assembly part as a screw.

[0029] In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 1-3 , the present application provides an assembly tool, which comprises:

[0030] The tool body is used to carry the electric appliance box, and in use, the electric appliance box is placed on the tool body, and then the screw assembly is carried out;

[0031] A plurality of assembly holes 1 corresponding to a plurality of assembly positions on the electric appliance box are formed on the tool body; specifically, the assembly position is the position on the electric appliance box where the screw needs to be screwed;

[0032] Further comprising a closable plugging member arranged on each assembly hole 1 to open or close the assembly hole 1; by controlling the opening of all the plugging members in the required order, the required order assembly between the electric appliance box and the screw is realized. That is, by controlling the opening and closing of the plugging members on different assembly holes 1 in order, when a certain plugging member is opened, all other plugging members are in a closed state, that is, only one assembly hole 1 is in an open state at the same time, so that screw assembly can only be carried out through the assembly hole 1, while other assembly holes 1 cannot carry out screw assembly due to the closed state, thereby avoiding the problem of workers not assembling screws in the required order.

[0033] As shown in Figure 1 , in this embodiment, the tool body comprises a base 2 and a support frame 3, the support frame 3 is erected on the top of the base 2 to form an assembly space for placing the electric appliance box between the two; the assembly hole 1 is arranged on the support frame 3. Specifically, the base 2 is the base of the entire assembly tool, and is also the placement area of the electric appliance box to be screwed; the support frame 3 is the support connection part of the entire assembly tool, and the inside is connected with lines, etc.

[0034] Specifically, the assembly holes 1 are arranged in rows on the support frame 3, and the assembly holes 1 are passages for electric screwdrivers to assemble screws on the electric appliance box; only one assembly hole 1 is in an open state during the working process;

[0035] In order to realize stable assembly, the base 2 is provided with a limiting structure for limiting the electric appliance box, so that the electric appliance box placed on the base 2 can be stably positioned on the base 2 and cannot be deviated or displaced.

[0036] It should be noted that, in the embodiment, the electric appliance box has a protruding structure, and in order to realize stability, the base 2 is provided with a downward recessed limiting groove 4 corresponding to the protruding part of the electric appliance box, that is, the limiting structure is the limiting groove 4, the depth of the limiting groove 4 is greater than or equal to the height of the protruding part of the electric appliance box, and the length and width of the limiting groove 4 are equal to the length and width of the protruding structure of the electric appliance box. Therefore, when the electric appliance box is placed on the base 2, the protruding part is just clamped into the limiting groove 4, thereby realizing the fixation of the electric appliance box. The limiting groove 4 is used for limiting the placement of the electric appliance box on the base 2, and ensures that the positions to be screwed and the assembly holes 1 are one-to-one corresponding.

[0037] In some embodiments, the support frame 3 has an L-shaped structure, including a vertical plate and a horizontal plate, the vertical plate is vertically arranged at one end of the base 2, and the horizontal plate is suspended at the top of the base 2, and the assembly holes 1 are arranged on the horizontal plate.

[0038] Specifically, in the embodiment, the blocking piece is a telescopic blocking piece. The telescopic blocking piece is an opening and closing movement component of the assembly hole 1, which opens or closes the assembly hole 1 according to the change of the sensor 5. In the present application, the assembly hole 1 is a circular hole, so the telescopic blocking piece can be circular, or rectangular or other shapes that can completely block the assembly hole 1 when closed. The opening and closing of the blocking piece can be realized by driving the gear set by the motor, driving the gear rack by the motor, and other forms. As long as the telescopic blocking piece can block and open the assembly hole 1, the specific form is not limited. Moreover, the opening and closing movement can be automatically controlled.

[0039] In order to realize automatic control, a sensor 5 is installed at each assembly hole 1. The sensor 5 is an inductor for sensing whether the electric screwdriver has completed screw assembly, and each assembly hole 1 has one.

[0040] To achieve automated control, a controller 6 is also included, which is electrically connected to the sealing component and sensor 5. The controller 6 serves as the operation and display unit for the assembly fixture, capable of starting, resetting, stopping, and editing the opening and closing sequence of the assembly holes 1, etc.

[0041] It also includes a power cord connected to the controller 6 to supply power to the entire equipment tooling.

[0042] The controller 6 receives signals from the sensor 5 and then controls the action of the sealing component, thereby completing the sequential opening and closing of the sealing component on the assembly hole 1.

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, controller 6 is mounted on the tooling body, specifically on the vertical plate of support frame 3. Controller 6 has a display screen for inputting commands via touch, and also includes emergency stop and start / stop buttons to enable power-on and power-off of the equipment, as well as emergency stop functions during operation.

[0044] The assembly fixture of the present invention is a fixture that can restrict the screw installation sequence, allowing the operator to install screws only in the order required by the process, preventing the power device from being broken or damaged due to the operator not installing screws in the required order, and effectively improving the reliability of the circuit board.

[0045] The present invention also provides an assembly device, including a workpiece, an assembly component, and the above-mentioned assembly fixture; the assembly fixture is used to install the assembly component onto the workpiece in a required sequence.

[0046] Specifically, the workpiece is an electrical box; the assembly is screws.

[0047] The assembly equipment of the present invention enables screw installation in a fixed sequence, preventing mistaken installation.

[0048] When using: Pre-program the opening and closing sequence of the assembly holes 1 in the controller 6 - place the electrical box to be screwed on the base 2 - one assembly hole 1 is open and the rest are closed, use an electric screwdriver to drive the screw through the assembly hole 1 - after the electric screwdriver is removed after driving one screw, the assembly hole 1 closes - the next set assembly hole opens, continue to drive the screw - and so on to complete the sequential screw driving work.
