[0067] The following describes in detail the various embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0068] For some products, such as Figure 1 As shown, due to the complex structure of product 200, when assembled using traditional methods, it is usually necessary to manually place the second component 210 on a fixture, and then manually insert the first component 220 into the mounting hole 212 of the second component 210 to obtain the assembled product 200. However, due to the high assembly requirements of product 200, the manual assembly method has the problems of low assembly efficiency and unstable assembly quality.

[0069] To solve the above problem, see Figure 2 One embodiment of the present application provides an automatic assembly device 100 for automatically assembling a first component 220 onto a second component 210 to obtain a product 200.

By adjusting the first micrometer 241, the first push block 242 can be moved in the second direction, thereby pushing the second component 210 to move in the second direction.

[0073] The second adjusting member 25 is provided on the support plate 21 and is provided on a side of the bearing block 22 adjacent to the first adjusting member 24. The second adjusting member 25 and the bearing block 22 are spaced apart along the first direction. The second adjusting member 25 and the first adjusting member 24 cooperate to position two adjacent sides of the second component 210. The second adjusting member 25 includes a second micrometer 251 and a second push block 252. By adjusting the second micrometer 251, the second push block 252 can be moved in the first direction to push the second component 210 to move along the first direction.

[0074] Elastic support members 26 are provided on the support plate 21 and are spaced apart from the bearing block 22, the first adjustment member 24, and the second adjustment member 25 to elastically support the second component 210.

The fixed frame 333 is located on the machine platform 10 and is spaced apart from one side of the support plate 21 and the bracket 31. The slide rail 334 is located on the fixed frame 333 and extends in the third direction. The movable plate 331 is slidably connected to the slide rail 334 via a slider 335. In this way, the lifting drive 322 can drive the movable plate 331 to slide along the extension direction of the slide rail 334, causing the contoured surface 3321 of the clamping block 332 to press against the middle of the upper surface of the second component 210.

[0078] The clamping mechanism 30 also includes a positioning assembly 34, which is arranged on the movable plate 331 and is spaced apart from the clamping block 332. The positioning assembly 34 is arranged corresponding to the mounting hole 212 of the second component 210 placed on the supporting mechanism 20, and is used to extend into the mounting hole 212 of the second component 210 to position the second component 210.

In this embodiment, the abutment driving member 343 is a pen-shaped cylinder.

[0082] The first floating self-locking driving member 346 is arranged on the movable plate 331 and is connected to the first floating self-locking head 347. It is used to drive the first floating self-locking head 347 to move toward the second component 210 after abutting the abutment block 344, so that the first floating self-locking head 347 abuts against the upper surface of the abutment block 344, thereby realizing self-locking of the abutment block 344. In this embodiment, the first floating self-locking driving member 346 is a cylinder.

[0083] See Figure 4 and Figure 6 The automatic assembly device 100 further includes a support mechanism 60, which is disposed below the positioning assembly 34 and is configured to cooperate with the positioning assembly 34 to support the lower surface of the second component 210. The support mechanism 60 includes a support frame 61, a support driver 62, a pad 63, a second floating self-locking driver 64, and a second floating self-locking head 65.

[0084] The support frame 61 is connected to the machine 10. A support driver 62 is disposed on the support frame 61 and connected to the pad 63, driving the pad 63 upward or downward in the third direction. A second floating self-locking driver 64 is disposed on the pad 63 and connected to the second floating self-locking head 65, driving the second floating self-locking head 65 upward or downward to support the lower surface of the second component 210. In this embodiment, the support driver 62 is a pen-shaped cylinder, and the second floating self-locking driver 64 is a jig cylinder.

[0085] See Figure 7 The mounting mechanism 40 is spaced apart on one side of the supporting mechanism 20 and the bracket 31. The mounting mechanism 40 includes a power component 41 provided on the machine 10 and a clamping component 42 for accommodating and clamping the first component 220. The power component 41 is connected to the clamping component 42 to drive the clamping component 42 to move to the bottom of the second component 210 to install the first component 220 on the second component 210.

[0086] The power assembly 41 includes a first driving member 411, a second driving member 412, and a third driving member 413.

[0087] The clamping assembly 42 includes a fixed plate 421, a carrier 422, a clamping driver 423, a guide rod 424, and a clamping arm 425. The fixed plate 421 is connected to the third driver 413.

The clamping drive member 423 is arranged on the fixed plate 421 and is connected to one end of the guide rod 424. The other end of the guide rod 424 is slidably passed through the supporting member 422 and is connected to the clamping arm 425. The clamping arm 425 is located on one side of the supporting member 422 and is arranged opposite to the groove wall of the accommodating groove 4221. The clamping drive member 423 is used to drive the guide rod 424 to drive the clamping arm 425 to move closer to or away from the accommodating groove 4221, so that the clamping arm 425 and the groove wall of the accommodating groove 4221 opposite to the clamping arm 425 cooperate to clamp or release the first component 220. In this embodiment, the clamping drive member 423 is a cylinder.

[0088] The position detection mechanism 50 is arranged on the machine 10 and is respectively arranged adjacent to the supporting mechanism 20, the mounting mechanism 40 and the bracket 31. The power component 41 is also used to drive the positioning component 34 to move to the position detection mechanism 50 so that the position detection mechanism 50 detects the position of the first component 220 on the positioning component 34.

[0089] The position detection mechanism 50 includes a detection frame 51 and a detector 52 provided on the detection frame 51. The detector 52 is electrically connected to a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) and is used to emit detection light toward the first component 220 that is moved to, and determine the position of the first component 220, such as the height, based on the received detection light. If the position of the first component 220 does not meet the standard, the PLC controls the power component 41 to drive the clamping component 42 to move until the position of the first component 220 on the clamping component 42 meets the standard. In this embodiment, the detector 52 is a photoelectric sensor.

[0090] The working process of the automatic assembly device 100 is as follows:

[0091] Initially, the driving assembly 32 drives the pressing assembly 33 to move away from the carrying mechanism 20 to place the second component 210 on the carrying mechanism 20, and then the second driving member 412 drives the third driving member 413 to move along the negative direction of the first direction, and the first driving member 411 drives the second driving member 412 to move along the positive direction of the second direction to a preset position. It can be understood that the preset position is a loading position for the first component 220;

[0092] Then, the support driving member 62 drives the cushion block 63 to rise along the third direction to the desired position, and the second component 210 is placed on the bearing block 22, the elastic support member 26 and the supporting mechanism 60. The positions of the two adjacent sides of the second component 210 are adjusted by the two first adjusting members 24 and the one second adjusting member 25. The first component 220 is placed in the receiving groove 4221 of the bearing member 422. The clamping driving member 423 drives the guide rod 424 to move the clamping arm 425 close to the receiving groove 4221, so that the clamping arm 425 and the groove wall of the receiving groove 4221 opposite to the clamping arm 425 cooperate to clamp the first component 220.

[0093] After that, the second locking mechanism 331 is lifted up, and the locking mechanism 332 of the second locking mechanism 331 is lifted up, and the locking mechanism 332 of the second locking mechanism 331 is lifted up, and the locking mechanism 332 of the second locking mechanism 331 is lifted up, and the locking mechanism 332 of the second locking mechanism 331 is lifted up, and the locking mechanism 332 of the second locking mechanism 331 is lifted up, and the locking mechanism 332 of the second locking mechanism 331 is lifted up, and the locking mechanism 332 of the second locking mechanism 331 is lifted up, and the locking mechanism 332 of the second locking mechanism 331 is lifted up, and the locking mechanism After the first locking member 340 is unlocked, the locking member 340 is unlocked, and the first locking member 340 is unlocked.

[0094] Afterwards, the third driving member 413 first drives the clamping assembly 42 to move along the negative direction of the third direction, and then the second driving member 412 drives the third driving member 413 to move along the positive direction of the first direction, and stops moving when it reaches the first limit position. Then the third driving member 413 drives the clamping assembly 42 to move along the positive direction of the third direction, and stops moving when it reaches the second limit position. After that, the first driving member 411 and the second driving member 412 move simultaneously to send the first component 220 to the bottom of the mounting hole 212, and then the third driving member 413 drives the clamping assembly 4 to move along the positive direction of the third direction to install the first component 220 on the mounting hole 212, and stops moving when it reaches the third limit position. At this time, the installation of the first component 220 and the second component 210 is completed. It can be understood that light sensors are provided at the first limit position, the second limit position and the third limit position to stop moving when the corresponding driving member reaches the limit position.

[0095] Finally, the driving assembly 32 drives the clamping assembly 33 to move away from the supporting mechanism 20, and then the second driving member 412 drives the third driving member 413 to move along the negative direction of the first direction, and the first driving member 411 drives the second driving member 412 to move along the positive direction of the second direction to the preset position, and so on.

[0096] The above-mentioned automatic assembly device 100 first carries the second component 210 through the carrying mechanism 20, and then drives the clamping component 33 to move toward the carrying mechanism 20 through the driving component 32 to press the second component 210, and then the power component 41 drives the clamping component 42 to move to the position detection mechanism 50. When the position detection mechanism 50 detects the position of the first component 220 on the clamping component 42, the power component 41 drives the clamping component 42 to move to the bottom of the second component 210 to install the first component 220 on the second component 210, which can realize the automatic assembly of the first component 220 and the second component 210, solve the problem of inconvenient assembly, have high assembly efficiency, and can achieve high-precision and high-quality assembly requirements.

[0097] Furthermore, the overall structural design of the automatic assembly device 100 is compact, and the structure and movement mode are simple and clear; it can be used for the assembly of high-precision modules with better results; it is convenient and flexible to assemble high-precision modules and is suitable for promotion and use; it is suitable for fully automatic production and improves production efficiency.
