DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0046] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0047] See attached Figure 1 -Attached Figure 10 A hanger clip automated assembly device is provided for assembling a clip J onto a hanger Y. The clip J comprises a first clip J1, a second clip J2, and an elastic buckle J3. The first clip J1 is integrally formed with the hanger Y. The hanger clip automated assembly device comprises a body 1 and an assembly unit 2. The assembly unit 2 is mounted on the body 1 and comprises a positioning mechanism 21, a pressing mechanism 22, and a buckling mechanism 23. The positioning mechanism 21 is used to move the hanger Y so that the first clip J1 on the hanger Y moves to the assembly position. The pressing mechanism 22 is used to drive the second clip J2 to move to the assembly station, so that the second clip J2 is clamped with the first clip J1; the buckling mechanism 23 is used to drive the elastic buckle J3 to move to the assembly station, so that the elastic buckle J3 is buckled with the first clip J1 and the second clip J2; wherein, the first clip J1 is provided on both ends of the hanger Y, and the assembly station is symmetrically provided with two locations, and the assembly unit 2 is provided with two and is symmetrically installed on the body 1 to perform synchronous assembly work on both ends of the hanger Y.

[0048] Specifically, the steps for using this hanger clip automated assembly equipment are as follows:

[0049] Before use, ensure that the adjustment mechanism 21, the tablet pressing mechanism 22 and the buckle mechanism 23 are all in the closed state;

[0050] When in use, first place the hanger Y on the adjustment mechanism 21, place the two second clips J2 on the two pressing mechanisms 22, and place the two elastic buckles J3 on the two buckling mechanisms 23.

[0051] Next, the positioning mechanism 21 is activated to drive the hanger Y to move, so that the first clips J1 on both ends of the hanger Y are moved to two assembly stations respectively;

[0052] Subsequently, the two pressing mechanisms 22 are simultaneously activated to move the two second clips J2 to the two assembly stations respectively and to engage with the two first clips J1 accordingly. Finally, the two fastening mechanisms 23 are simultaneously activated to move the two elastic clips J3 to the two assembly stations respectively, so that the two elastic clips J3 engage with the corresponding first clips J1 and second clips J2 to complete the assembly of the hanger clip.

[0053] After the assembly is completed, the hanger clip is removed, the adjustment mechanism 21, the pressing mechanism 22 and the buckling mechanism 23 are controlled to reset, and then the above steps are repeated.

[0054] It should be noted that the above-mentioned operating steps are only one of the embodiments of the present invention. In actual use, the positioning mechanism 21, the pressing mechanism 22 and the fastening mechanism 23 can be operated simultaneously to reduce the assembly time, or they can be operated one by one to improve the assembly stability. This is not limited in the present invention.

[0055] In summary, the present invention is used to assemble hanger clips by providing an assembly unit 2 including a positioning mechanism 21, a pressing mechanism 22 and a buckling mechanism 23 on the body 1; wherein, the design of the positioning mechanism 21 can automatically adjust the position of the hanger Y, the design of the pressing mechanism 22 can automatically drive the second clip J2 to clamp the first clip J1 on the hanger Y, and the design of the buckling mechanism 23 can automatically drive the elastic buckle J3 to buckle the first clip J1 and the second clip J2, thereby assembling the hanger clip into shape; and because there are two assembly units 2, synchronous assembly work can be performed on both ends of the hanger Y; therefore, the above design can replace manual automatic assembly of hanger clips, shorten the assembly time required, and improve production efficiency; and it can also avoid the problem of missing or insufficient installation of the second clip J2 and the elastic buckle J3, thereby improving the quality of the finished product.

[0056] See attached Figure 5 -Attached Figure 15 The positioning mechanism 21 includes a first driving member 211, a fixed block 212, a fixed claw 213 and a driving claw 214; the fixed claw 213 is installed on the fixed block 212, and the driving claw 214 is installed on the fixed block 212 and can move away from or closer to the fixed claw 213 along the Z-axis direction, thereby forming a fixed opening 210 for placing the hanger Y; the first driving member 211 is installed on the body 1 and is drivingly connected to the fixed block 212 to drive the fixed block 212 to move along the X-axis direction, so that the first clip J1 on the hanger Y moves away from or closer to the assembly station along the X-axis direction.

[0057] Specifically, when in use, first place the two ends of the crossbeam of the hanger Y on the two fixed claws 213, control the driving claws 214 to move close to the fixed claws 213 along the Z-axis direction to enclose the hanger Y, so that the hanger Y is stably placed on the fixed block 212; then, start the first driving member 211 to drive the fixed block 212 to move along the X-axis, so that the two first clips J1 on the hanger Y are moved to the two assembly stations respectively, and finally start the corresponding pressing mechanism 22 and the buckling mechanism 23 to complete the automatic assembly of the hanger clip.

[0058] After assembly is completed, the driving claw 214 is controlled to move away from the fixed claw 213 along the Z-axis direction to release the restriction on the hanger Y. After the assembled hanger clip is removed, the first driving member 211 is started to drive the fixed block 212 back to its original position, and the corresponding pressing mechanism 22 and the buckling mechanism 23 are started to return to their original positions, and the next hanger Y can be assembled.

[0059] It should be noted that the first driving member 211 is of various types and can adopt structures such as a cylinder and an electric screw, which is not limited in the present invention; and the driving claw 214 also belongs to the existing technology, which is generally composed of a claw and a cylinder. The claw is controlled by the cylinder to move up and down along the Z-axis, so as to fix the hanger Y or release the restriction on the hanger Y.

[0060] See attached Figure 1 -Attached Figure 3 In order to facilitate the loading of hangers Y, a rack transport mechanism 3 is installed on the machine body 1. The rack transport mechanism 3 includes a hanger positioning member 31 and a hanger transfer member 32. A plurality of hangers Y are stacked on the hanger positioning member 31. The hanger transfer member 32 is used to transfer the hangers Y on the hanger positioning member 31 one by one into the fixing opening 210. The types of the hanger positioning member 31 and the hanger transfer member 32 are various, and are not limited in this case. However, for the sake of ease of understanding, in the embodiment of the present invention:

[0061] The hanger positioning member 31 includes a support frame 311 and a positioning rod 312. The support frame 311 is installed on the body 1. There are multiple positioning rods 312 and they are installed on the support frame 311. The multiple positioning rods 312 correspond to the outer contour of the hanger Y to form a positioning frame 3120; the hanger transfer member 32 includes a first X-axis driving member 321, a first Z-axis driving member 322 and a first clamping member 323. The first X-axis driving member 321 is fixedly installed on the body 1, and the first Z-axis driving member 322 is installed on the first X-axis driving member 321 and is driven and connected to the first clamping member 323.

[0062] Specifically, when in use, multiple hangers Y are stacked in a linear array in the positioning frame 3120, and then the first X-axis driving member 321 and the first Z-axis driving member 322 are started to drive the first clamping member 323 to move along the X-axis and Z-axis directions respectively, so that the first clamping member 323 takes the hangers Y in the positioning frame 3120 one by one, and transfers the taken hangers Y to the fixed port 210.

[0063] After the first clamping claw 323 takes the hanger Y on the positioning frame 3120, it pushes the hanger Y stacked on the positioning clamp along the X-axis direction, so that the next hanger Y to be assembled moves to the position to be clamped. After the first clamping claw 323 transfers the hanger Y and returns to its original position, it can continue to take and transfer the hanger Y.

[0064] It should be noted that the first X-axis driving component 321 and the first Z-axis driving component 322 can be of various types, and can adopt structures such as cylinders and electric screws, which are not limited in the present invention; and the first clamping member 323 can adopt the common cylinder clamps on the market. Since the relevant technology is relatively common, it is not limited in the present invention.

[0065] See attached Figure 5 -Attached Figure 16 The pressing mechanism 22 includes a second driving member 221, a limiting block 222 and a pressing block 223; the limiting block 222 is installed on the body 1 and is located next to the assembly station, and the limiting block 222 is provided with a slide groove 2221 designed along the X-axis direction, and the wall of the slide groove 2221 is provided with a limiting opening 2222 connected to the outside world; the pressing block 223 is slidably installed in the slide groove 2221; the second driving member 221 is installed on the body 1 and is connected to the pressing block 223. , so that the pressing block 223 has a first position in which it is placed in the slide groove 2221 and aligned with the limit opening 2222, and a second position in which it is staggered with the limit opening 2222 and moved to the outside of the slide groove 2221; when the pressing block 223 is driven by the second driving member 221 to transfer from the first position to the second position, the second clip J2 which enters the slide groove 2221 from the limit opening 2222 can be pushed to the assembly station, so that the second clip J2 is clamped with the first clip J1 on the hanger Y.

[0066] Specifically, when in use, first confirm that the pressing block 223 is in the first position. At this time, the second clip J2 is pushed from the limiting opening 2222 into the sliding groove 2221, so that the pressing block 223 abuts the second clip J2; then, the second driving member 221 is activated to drive the pressing block 223 to move along the sliding groove 2221 to the second position, and the second clip J2 can be pushed to the assembly station to engage with the first clip J1; finally, the fastening mechanism 23 is activated to move the corresponding elastic fastener J3 to the assembly station to engage with the first clip J1 and the second clip J2, and the hanger clip is assembled.

[0067] After the assembled hanger clip is removed, the second driving member 221 drives the pressing block 223 back to the first position, and the next second clip J2 can be transferred and assembled.

[0068] It should be noted that the second driving member 221 may be of various types, and may be a cylinder, an electric screw, or other structures, which is not limited in the present invention.

[0069] See attached Figure 5 -Attached Figure 12In order to facilitate the automatic loading of the second clamp J2, a clamp transport mechanism 4 is also installed on the machine body 1. Multiple second clamps J2 are stacked on the clamp transport mechanism 4, and when the pressing block 223 is in the first position, the clamp transport mechanism 4 can drive the multiple second clamps J2 to pass through the limit opening 2222 one by one into the slide groove 2221; there are two clamp transport mechanisms 4, which correspond to the two pressing mechanisms 22 respectively.

[0070] There are various types of clamp transport mechanisms 4. For ease of understanding, the clamp transport mechanism 4 in the embodiment of the present invention includes a first vibration disk 41 and a first guide rod 42. The first vibration disk 41 is installed on the machine body 1, and one end of the first guide rod 42 is connected to the first vibration disk 41, and the other end of the first guide rod 42 extends to the limit opening 2222.

[0071] During use, multiple second clips J2 are stacked in the first vibration disk 41, and then the first vibration disk 41 is started to transport the multiple second clips J2 one by one to the first guide rod 42, and the multiple second clips J2 pass through the limit opening 2222 one by one to the slide groove 2221 to complete the automatic loading of the second clips J2.

[0072] It should be noted that the designs of the first vibration plate 41 and the first guide rod 42 are common technologies in the field of material transfer, so their specific structures will not be elaborated in detail in the present invention.

[0073] See attached Figure 11 -Attached Figure 18 The buckle mechanism 23 includes a third driving member 231, a top block 232 and a top rod 233; the top block 232 is mounted on the machine body 1 and is located above the assembly station, and a top groove 2321 designed along the Z-axis direction is provided inside the top block 232, and a movable opening 2322 connected to the outside is provided on the wall of the top groove 2321; the top rod 233 is slidably mounted in the top groove 2321, and the top rod 233 is also provided with a bayonet 2330 for clamping the elastic buckle J3; the third driving member 231 is mounted on the machine body 1 and is drivingly connected to the top rod 233 to drive the top rod 233 Move away from or approach the assembly station along the Z-axis direction, so that the snap fit 2330 on the top rod 233 has a first position where it is placed in the top groove 2321 and aligned with the movable opening 2322, and a second position where it is staggered with the movable opening 2322 and moved to the outside of the top groove 2321; when the snap fit 2330 of the top rod 233 is driven by the third driving member 231 to transfer from the first position to the second position, the elastic buckle J3 that enters the snap fit 2330 from the movable opening 2322 can be pushed to the assembly station, so that the elastic buckle J3 can buckle the first clip J1 and the second clip J2.

[0074] Specifically, before use, the bayonet 2330 on the ejector rod 233 is in the first position;

[0075] After the first clip J1 and the second clip J2 are connected by the adjusting mechanism 21 and the pressing mechanism 22, the elastic clip J3 is placed into the top groove 2321 from the corresponding movable opening 2322, and the enclosed end of the elastic clip J3 is inserted into the snap-in opening 2330, so that the elastic clip J3 can be fixed on the top rod 233; then, the third driving member 231 is started to drive the top rod 233 to move downward along the top groove 2321 until the snap-in opening 2330 of the top rod 233 is in the second position, and the elastic clip J3 on the top rod 233 is snapped into the first clip J1 and the second clip J2, and the assembly of the hanger clip is completed.

[0076] After the hanger clip is assembled, due to the restrictions of the first clip J1 and the second clip J2, the third driving member 231 drives the top rod 233 to move up along the top groove 2321, so that the elastic buckle J3 can be disengaged from the snap-on socket 2330 on the top rod 2333, until the snap-on socket 2330 of the top rod 233 completely returns to the first position, and then the transfer of the next elastic buckle J3 can be carried out.

When the latch 2330 of the ejector rod 233 is in the first position, the buckle feeding mechanism 5 can drive the multiple elastic buckle pieces J3 to pass through the movable opening 2322 one by one into the latch 2330 of the ejector rod 233; two buckle feeding mechanisms 5 are provided, corresponding to the design of the two assembly units 2 respectively.

[0078] Among them, there are various types of buckle delivery mechanisms 5. For ease of understanding, the buckle delivery mechanism 5 in the embodiment of the present invention includes a second vibration disk 51 and a second guide rod 52.

[0083] Specifically, the second X-axis driving member 61 and the second Z-axis driving member 62 are respectively used to drive the second clamping member 63 to move along the X-axis and Z-axis directions to clamp the assembled hanger clip. At this time, the driving claw 214 is controlled to move away from the fixed claw 213 to release the restriction on the hanger Y; then the second X-axis driving member 61 and the second Z-axis driving member 62 drive the second clamping member 63 again to take away the assembled hanger clip and transfer it to the conveyor belt 64, and finally the assembled hanger clip can be conveyed to the outside world through the conveyor belt 64.

[0086] Specifically, when it is necessary to assemble the clip J on a hanger Y of different lengths, the length of the hanger Y is first measured, and then the two Y-axis driving members 71 are started according to the length of the hanger Y to drive the two carrier plates 72 to move closer to or away from each other, thereby making the two assembly units 2 move closer to or away from each other, so as to adapt to the current size of the hanger Y; thereby improving the adaptability of the device.

[0087] It should be noted that the Y-axis driving member 71 can be of various types, and can adopt a structure such as a cylinder or an electric screw, and the present invention does not limit this.

[0088] See attached Figure 1 -Attached Figure 5 The machine body 1 is also provided with a control unit 8, which is electrically connected to the assembly unit 2, the rack conveying mechanism 3, the clamp conveying mechanism 4, the buckle conveying mechanism 5, the discharge mechanism 6 and the size adjustment mechanism 7, etc. A program is preset in the control unit 8 to control the operating status of each mechanism respectively;

[0089] In addition, sensors can be set at key positions of each mechanism to monitor the positions of the hanger Y, the first clip J1, the second clip J2 and the elastic buckle J3, and the position information can be fed back to the corresponding mechanism to control the operating status of each mechanism respectively; since the above technology is relatively common, its specific circuit structure and working principle will not be elaborated in detail in the present invention.

[0090] It should also be noted that although the embodiments of the present application have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present application.
