Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of workpiece processing, and in particular to an automatic assembly device and method for a light guide plate and a light guide line. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of science and technology, computer systems have become increasingly important, and hard disks are one of the most important parts in computer systems. Hard disk brackets are accessories used with hard disks. Figure 1 As shown, the hard disk bracket includes a bottom plate 1, on which a mounting groove 15 and a through hole 13 are formed, and a light guide plate 11 is clamped in the mounting groove 15. Figure 2 Two line inlet channels 14 are also provided on the bottom plate 1, and the line inlet channels 14 are both connected to the mounting grooves 15. Light guides 12 are passed through the line inlet channels 14, and the light guides 12 can be snapped onto the light guide plate 11. The light guides 12 pass through the line inlet channels 14 and are connected to the light guide plate 11.

[0003] At present, in the process of assembling the light guide plate and the light guide line to the base plate, the light guide plate and the light guide line automatic assembly equipment is needed. The light guide plate and the light guide line automatic assembly equipment includes a wire feeding mechanism for conveying the light guide line and a board installation mechanism. During implementation, the wire feeding mechanism is first controlled to pass the light guide line into the wire entry channel and extend it out of the installation groove, and then the board installation mechanism is controlled to dock the light guide plate with the light guide line and clip it into the installation groove, thereby completing the assembly of the light guide plate and the light guide line.

[0004] However, during the actual assembly of the light guide plate and the light guide line, the light guide line extending out of the mounting slot may deviate downward due to its own gravity, making it impossible for the light guide plate to dock with the light guide line more accurately, thereby affecting the assembly process of the light guide plate and the light guide line. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to improve the problem that the light guide plate cannot be accurately connected with the light guide line, the present application provides a light guide plate, an automatic assembly device for light guide lines, and an assembly method.

[0006] In the first aspect, the present application provides an automatic assembly device for a light guide plate and a light guide line, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A light guide plate and light guide line automatic assembly equipment comprises a feeding belt, an assembly station and a discharging belt, wherein a transfer mechanism for transferring a base plate is provided above the assembly station, a wire feeding mechanism for installing the light guide line is provided on one side of the assembly station, and a cutting mechanism for cutting the light guide line is provided between the wire feeding mechanism and the assembly station; a conveyor belt for conveying the light guide plate, a plate mounting mechanism for grabbing and mounting the light guide plate and a clamping mechanism for clamping the light guide line are provided on the other side of the assembly station, wherein the plate mounting mechanism and the clamping mechanism can move along the wire feeding direction of the wire feeding mechanism, and the clamping mechanism can also move in the vertical direction.

At this time, the clamping mechanism rises and approaches the assembly station, and the clamping mechanism is controlled to clamp the light guide line extending out of the installation slot, leaving only a part of the light guide line, so as to avoid the light guide line from deviating greatly due to its own gravity as much as possible. Then the control panel installation mechanism grabs the light guide plate on the conveyor belt and approaches the assembly station, and after the light guide plate is docked with the light guide line, it continues to move to the assembly station, so that the light guide plate is stuck in the installation slot, thereby completing the assembly of the light guide plate and the light guide line. Compared with the original equipment, the light guide plate can be docked with the light guide line more accurately, so that the assembly process of the light guide plate and the light guide line is not easily affected.

[0009] In a specific feasible implementation scheme, the transfer mechanism includes a bracket, a first slide cylinder and a clamp cylinder, the bracket is arranged on one side of the assembly station, the first slide cylinder is arranged on the bracket, and the clamp cylinder is arranged on the slide of the first slide cylinder; the clamp cylinder is located above the assembly station, and the clamp cylinder can move along the bottom plate transmission direction and the vertical direction.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, after the bottom plate is transported by the feeding belt, the bottom plate can be grabbed by controlling the clamping cylinder, and then the first slide cylinder can be controlled to make the clamping cylinder drive the bottom plate to move to the assembly station, thereby completing the transfer of the bottom plate, and then the operation of the bottom plate to the discharge belt is also the same. This setting structure is simple and easy to operate, which improves the convenience of assembling the light guide plate and the light guide line of the bottom plate.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, after the light guide line enters the incoming line channel, the third slide cylinder is controlled to make the suction cup move toward the conveyor belt and suck one of the light guide plates. After sucking, the swing cylinder is started to rotate the second mounting plate 180 degrees. At this time, the light guide plate faces the direction of the assembly station. Then the third slide cylinder is controlled to make the suction cup move toward the assembly station until the light guide plate docks with the light guide line extending out of the mounting slot. At this time, the telescopic cylinder is started to clamp the light guide plate into the mounting slot. This structure is simple and easy to implement, and can effectively improve the assembly efficiency of automatic assembly equipment.

[0023] In a specific possible implementation manner, a positioning block is provided on the assembly station, the positioning block is matched with the through hole of the bottom plate, and the bottom plate can be fixed on the assembly station through the positioning block.

[0031] After the light guide plate is connected to the small portion of the reserved light guide line, loosen the light guide line and insert the light guide plate into the installation slot.

[0032] By adopting the above technical solution, in the process of assembling the light guide plate and the light guide line to the base plate, the base plate is transported by the feeding belt, the transfer mechanism is controlled to place the base plate on the assembly station, and then the wire feeding mechanism is controlled to send the light guide line into the wire inlet channel until the light guide line extends out of the installation slot and the cutting mechanism is controlled to cut off the end of the light guide line. At this time, the clamping mechanism rises and approaches the assembly station, and the clamping mechanism is controlled to clamp the light guide line extending out of the installation slot, leaving only a part of the light guide line, so as to avoid as much as possible the light guide line from being deflected due to its own gravity. Then the control panel installation mechanism grabs the light guide plate on the conveyor belt and approaches the assembly station, and after the light guide plate is docked with the light guide line, it continues to move to the assembly station, so that the light guide plate is stuck in the installation slot, thereby completing the assembly of the light guide plate and the light guide line.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0046] The present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0047] First, the structure of the hard disk bracket is briefly introduced to facilitate a better understanding of the solution of this application: Figure 1 and Figure 2 The hard disk bracket includes a bottom plate 1, and a mounting groove 15 and a through hole 13 are provided on the bottom plate 1. A light guide plate 11 is clamped in the mounting groove 15. Two inlet channels 14 are provided on the end surface of the bottom plate 1 away from the mounting groove. The inlet channels 14 are both connected to the mounting groove 15. Light guides 12 are passed through the inlet channels 14. The light guide plate 11 can be connected to the light guide 12. The light guides 12 pass through the inlet channels 14 and are connected to the light guide plate 11.

[0048] The present application embodiment discloses an automatic assembly device for a light guide plate and a light guide line. Figure 3 The automatic assembly equipment for light guide plates and light guide lines comprises a feeding belt 2, an assembly station 4 and an outfeeding belt 3, wherein the assembly station 4 is arranged between the feeding belt 2 and the outfeeding belt 3. Figure 4The automatic assembly equipment for the light guide plate 11 and the light guide line 12 also includes a conveyor belt 31 for conveying the light guide plate 11. A detection frame 32 for detecting the light guide plate 11 is fixedly installed on the end of the conveyor belt 31. When the light guide plate 11 needs to be installed, the detection frame 32 stops the movement of the conveyor belt 31 when it detects that the light guide plate 11 is directly below it. A wire feeding mechanism 6 for installing the light guide line 12 and a cutting mechanism 7 for cutting the light guide line 12 are provided on the side of the assembly station 4 away from the conveyor belt 31. A plate installation mechanism 9 and a clamping mechanism 8 for clamping the light guide line 12 are provided between the assembly station 4 and the conveyor belt 31. A transfer mechanism 5 for transferring the bottom plate 1 is provided above the assembly station 4.

[0049] Reference Figure 5 The transfer mechanism 5 includes a bracket 51, a first slide cylinder 52 and three gripper cylinders 53. The bracket 51 is fixed on the side of the assembly station 4 away from the wire feeding mechanism 6. The first slide cylinder 52 is horizontally arranged and fixedly installed on the bracket 51. The three gripper cylinders 53 can all move in the vertical direction. The three gripper cylinders 53 are all arranged on the slide of the first slide cylinder 52. The gripper cylinders 53 are all located above the assembly station 4. After starting the first slide cylinder 52, the gripper cylinders 53 can move in the direction of transmission of the base plate 1. After the base plate 1 is transported by the feeding belt 2, the base plate 1 can be grasped by controlling the gripper cylinder 53. Then, the first slide cylinder 52 is controlled to enable the gripper cylinder 53 to drive the base plate 1 to move to the assembly station 4, thereby completing the transfer of the base plate 1. The same is true for the subsequent operation of the base plate 1 to the discharge belt 3. Figure 3 and Figure 4 A preparation station 42 is provided between the assembly station 4 and the discharge belt 3, and the preparation station 42 is arranged in parallel with the assembly station 4. The setting of the preparation station 42 facilitates the simultaneous assembly of the light guide 12 and the light guide plate 11 on multiple base plates 1 by adding a plate installation mechanism 9, a wire feeding mechanism 6 and a cutting mechanism 7, and multiple base plates 1 can also be transported by using multiple gripper cylinders 53, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the automatic assembly equipment.

[0050] Reference Figure 5The end of the feed belt 2 near the assembly station 4 is provided with an extension 21 and a push assembly 23. The extension 21 protrudes from the feed belt 2 away from the wire feeding mechanism 6, and the push assembly 23 is located on one side of the wire feeding mechanism 6. The push assembly 23 includes an electric cylinder 231 and a push plate 232. The electric cylinder 231 is installed on the side of the feed belt 2 near the wire feeding mechanism 6, and the piston rod of the electric cylinder 231 is fixedly connected to the push rod. A baffle 22 is fixedly installed on the extension 21. After the electric cylinder 231 is started, the push plate 232 can move toward the extension 21 under the drive of the electric cylinder 231, thereby pushing the bottom plate 1 to the extension 21. Since one of the clamping cylinders 53 is located directly above the extension portion 21, when the base plate 1 is conveyed to the end of the feeding belt 2 close to the assembly station 4, the electric cylinder 231 is started so that the piston rod of the electric cylinder 231 can drive the push plate 232 to push the base plate 1 to the extension portion 21, and then the clamping cylinder 53 is controlled to clamp the base plate 1. This arrangement can prevent the clamping cylinder 53 from accidentally clamping the adjacent base plate 1 when clamping the base plate 1, thereby ensuring that the assembly process of the light guide plate 11 and the light guide light 12 proceeds smoothly as much as possible.

[0051] Reference Figure 5 The assembly station 4 and the preparation station 42 are both fixedly mounted with positioning blocks 41, which are matched with the through holes 13 of the bottom plate 1, and the bottom plate 1 can be fixed on the assembly station 4 or the preparation station 42 through the positioning blocks 41. The positioning blocks 41 are matched with the through holes 13 provided on the bottom plate 1, so that the bottom plate 1 can be fixed on the assembly station 4 or the preparation station 42, so that the bottom plate 1 can be as stable as possible when assembling the light guide plate 11 and the light guide light 12, and is not easily affected.

[0052] Reference Figure 6 The wire feeding mechanism 6 includes a base 61 and a plurality of conveying rollers 62 for feeding the wire.

Every two conveying rollers 62 form a group. The conveying rollers 62 in the same group are arranged in parallel. The plurality of groups of conveying rollers 62 are evenly distributed on the base 61 along the direction in which the light guide 12 is conveyed. The light guide 12 passes through the plurality of groups of conveying rollers 62 into the wire inlet channel 14. The light guide 12 is conveyed into the wire inlet channel 14 of the bottom plate 1 by the plurality of groups of rotatably arranged conveying rollers 62. The plurality of groups of conveying rollers 62 are evenly distributed on the base 61 along the direction in which the light guide 12 is conveyed, which can ensure the installation accuracy of the light guide 12 to a certain extent.

[0053] Reference Figure 6 The cutting mechanism 7 includes a symmetrically arranged fixing seat 71, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2, a fixing seat 71 is fixedly mounted on the end of the base 61, and a cutter 72 is provided on each fixing seat 71. The cutters 72 are slidably mounted on the corresponding fixing seats 71, and the side of the cutter 72 away from the fixing seats 71 is in contact with the end of the bottom plate 1. The light guide 12 passes between two symmetrically arranged fixing seats 71 and enters the wire entry channel 14. When the wire feeding mechanism 6 feeds the light guide 12 into the wire entry channel 14 and extends out of the mounting groove 15, the cutter 72 is controlled to slide on the fixing seat 71, thereby cutting off the end of the light guide 12. One side of the cutter 72 is in contact with the end of the bottom plate 1 so that the cross section of the light guide 12 cut by the cutter 72 can be as flat as possible, thereby improving the assembly effect of the light guide 12.

[0054] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 The clamping mechanism 8 includes a second slide cylinder 81, a lifting rod 82 and a top plate 83, combined with Figure 4 , the second slide cylinder 81 is fixedly installed on the side of the assembly station 4 away from the wire feeding mechanism 6, the lifting rod 82 is vertically arranged, the bottom end of the lifting rod 82 is arranged on the slide of the second slide cylinder 81, and the top plate 83 is arranged on the top of the lifting rod 82. Clamping blocks 84 are symmetrically arranged on the top plate 83, and the clamping blocks 84 are slidably arranged on the top plate 83 and can move in opposite directions. A through groove for the light guide 12 to pass through is opened between the clamping blocks 84. When the light guide 12 penetrates the inlet channel 14 and extends out of the installation groove 15, the second slide cylinder 81 is started to make the top plate 83 approach the assembly station 4, and then the lifting rod 82 is started to move the clamping plate upward to the light guide 12, and the clamping block 84 is controlled to move relative to each other and clamp the light guide 12 in the through groove, which plays a bearing role on the light guide 12, so that the light guide 12 is not easily deviated downward due to its own gravity, thereby improving the accuracy of the light guide plate 11 and the light guide 12 during assembly.

[0055] Reference Figure 7 The plate mounting mechanism 9 includes a third slide cylinder 91, a swing cylinder 92 and a telescopic cylinder 93. The third slide cylinder 91 is fixedly mounted between the assembly station 4 and the conveyor belt 31. The slide of the third slide cylinder 91 is fixedly connected to a first mounting plate 94. The swing cylinder 92 is fixedly mounted on the side wall of the first mounting plate 94. The output end of the swing cylinder 92 is fixedly connected to a second mounting plate 95. The telescopic cylinder 93 is fixedly mounted on the side of the second mounting plate 95 away from the swing cylinder 92. The piston rod of the telescopic cylinder 93 is fixedly connected to a suction cup 96. Figure 3After the light guide 12 enters the incoming line channel 14, the detection frame 32 controls the conveyor belt 31 to stop when it detects that there is a light guide plate 11 below. At this time, the third slide cylinder 91 is controlled to make the suction cup 96 move toward the conveyor belt 31 and absorb one of the light guide plates 11. After absorption, the swing cylinder 92 is started to make the second mounting plate 95 rotate 180 degrees. At this time, the light guide plate 11 faces the direction of the assembly station 4. The third slide cylinder 91 is then controlled to make the suction cup 96 move toward the assembly station 4 until the light guide plate 11 is docked with the light guide 12 extending out of the mounting groove 15. After docking, the clamp block 84 is controlled to separate and the top plate 83 is controlled to descend. Finally, the telescopic cylinder 93 is started to clamp the light guide plate 11 into the mounting groove 15.

[0056] The implementation principle of the automatic assembly equipment of the light guide plate and light guide line of the embodiment of the present application is as follows: in the process of assembling the light guide plate 11 and the light guide line 12 to the base plate 1, the base plate 1 is transported by the feeding belt 2, the transfer mechanism 5 is controlled to place the base plate 1 on the assembly station 4, and then the wire feeding mechanism 6 is controlled to feed the light guide line 12 into the wire inlet channel 14, until the light guide line 12 extends out of the installation groove 15, and the cutting mechanism 7 is controlled to cut off the end of the light guide line 12. At this time, the clamping mechanism 8 rises and approaches the assembly station 4, and controls the clamping mechanism 8 to clamp the light guide line 12 extending out of the installation groove 15, leaving only a part of the light guide line 12, so as to avoid the light guide line 12 from deviating greatly due to its own gravity as much as possible. Then, the control plate installation mechanism 9 grabs the light guide plate 11 on the conveyor belt 31 and approaches the assembly station 4. After the light guide plate 11 is docked with the light guide line 12, it continues to move toward the assembly station 4, so that the light guide plate 11 is inserted into the installation groove 15, thereby completing the assembly of the light guide plate 11 and the light guide line 12. Compared with the original equipment, the light guide plate 11 can be docked with the light guide line 12 more accurately, so that the assembly process of the light guide plate 11 and the light guide line 12 is not easily affected.

[0057] The embodiment of the present application also discloses a method for automatically assembling a light guide plate and a light guide line based on the above-mentioned automatic assembly device for a light guide plate and a light guide line, comprising the following steps:

[0058] When the bottom plate 1 is transferred to the end of the feeding belt 2, the bottom plate 1 is pushed out and clamped;
