Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automated assembly equipment technology, and in particular to an automated wire sorting device for tidying up coil wire ends on products. Background Technology

[0002] Many products in the 3C product field require the mounting of numerous wired components during assembly. For example, in the assembly process of a mobile phone vibration motor, the coil needs to be assembled with other components.

[0003] In the manufacturing process of mobile phone vibration motors, after the coil is assembled with other components, the coil wire ends need to be tested for resistance and insulation performance. Because these tests have high requirements, the coil wire ends need to be arranged and fixed before testing. However, due to the flexible nature of the coil wire ends and the unpredictable nature of the incoming materials from previous processes, the industry currently mainly uses manual labor for coil wire arrangement. This not only results in low production capacity but also compromises processing quality.

[0004] In view of this, the present invention is hereby proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0043] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0044] Please see the appendix Figure 1 and attached Figure 2The figures shown are a three-dimensional structure and a front view of the automatic cable management device described in this invention. This invention provides an automatic cable management device for organizing the coil wire ends on products (such as vibration motors). The automatic cable management equipment mainly includes a conveyor device 1, a vision guide device 2, and a cable management device 3. The conveyor device 1 is used to transport products and is divided into camera stations and cable management stations arranged at intervals along its transport direction. The vision guide device 2 has an industrial camera 20 (such as a CCD industrial camera), which is arranged above the conveyor device 1 and can take pictures of the products moving to the camera station. The industrial camera 20 is also communicatively connected to a controller (not shown in the figure). The cable management device 3 has a cable management component 30 and a drive mechanism 31 communicatively connected to the controller. The drive mechanism 31 can drive the cable management component 30 to adjust its position relative to the products moving to the cable management station, so that the cable management pins 300 on the cable management component 30 extend next to the coil wire end. At the same time, the cable management pins 300 can also move the coil wire end to adjust the position of the coil wire end.

[0045] This automated wire sorting equipment integrates "automatic product conveying, automatic identification of coil wire end positions, and automatic coil wire end positioning" into one system. It has a high degree of automation and integration, which greatly improves production efficiency (i.e., capacity) and processing accuracy, and improves product quality.

[0046] The following is a detailed description of the specific structure of the three main components in this automatic cable management equipment.

[0047] First, see the appendix. Figure 1 and 2 and appendix Figure 8 To be continued Figure 10 As shown, in this embodiment, the cable management device 3 is configured in two sets according to production needs. For ease of description, only one set of the cable management device 3 will be used as an example below, but the structures of the two sets of cable management devices 3 are the same.

[0048] In each of the described cable management devices 3, the cable management assembly 30 further includes a gripper cylinder 301, which is mounted on the end actuation unit of the drive mechanism 31. Each of the two grippers of the gripper cylinder 301 is equipped with a cable management pin 300. Furthermore, the cable management pins 300 are fixedly mounted on the grippers, and the number of cable management pins 300 mounted on each gripper is at least one, depending on the processing requirements.

[0049] In each of the cable management devices 3, the cable management components 30 are configured in two sets, and the two sets of cable management components 30 respectively adjust two different parts of the coil wire ends on the product. Specifically, there are two coil wire ends on the product, and each coil wire end is divided into a root end, a middle end, and a tail end along its length. The two gripper cylinders 301 in the two sets of cable management components 30 are mounted side by side on the end actuation part of the drive mechanism 31; and when the two sets of cable management components 30 are adjusted in position relative to the coil wire ends on the product under the drive of the drive mechanism 31, the cable management pins 300 on the first gripper cylinder 301 extend between the tail ends of the two coil wire ends, and the cable management pins 300 on the second gripper cylinder 301 extend between the middle ends of the two coil wire ends. On the outer side; at the same time, the wire guiding pin 300 located on the first gripper cylinder 301 can also move in opposite directions under the drive of the first gripper cylinder 301, thereby causing the ends of the two coil wires to move away from each other; the wire guiding pin 300 located on the second gripper cylinder 301 can also move relative to each other under the drive of the second gripper cylinder 301, thereby causing the middle parts of the ends of the two coil wires to move closer to each other; thereby achieving the adjustment of the coil wires to the required position.

[0050] More preferably, the two gripper cylinders 301 are arranged side by side along a first horizontal direction, and the two grippers on each gripper cylinder 301 are arranged side by side along a second horizontal direction, and the second horizontal direction is perpendicular to the first horizontal direction.

[0051] More preferably, the drive mechanism 31 has a first drive mechanism 311 and a second drive mechanism 312. The first drive mechanism 311 is disposed next to the cable management station via a first stand 32. The second drive mechanism 312 is mounted on the power output end of the first drive mechanism 311 and can be adjusted horizontally relative to the coil wire ends on the product under the drive of the first drive mechanism 311. The power output end of the second drive mechanism 312 is the end actuation part of the drive mechanism 31, and the second drive mechanism 312 is used to provide power for the two sets of cable management components 30 to move up and down.

[0052] More preferably, the first drive mechanism 311 includes a first motor 3110, a transmission assembly, a first lead screw assembly 3111, and a support 3112 used as a power output end. The first motor 3110 is fixedly mounted on the upper side of the first stand 32. The first lead screw assembly 3111 has a first lead screw that extends horizontally and is rotatably mounted on the upper side of the first stand 32 through a bearing and a bearing seat combination, and a first nut sleeve threadedly connected to the first lead screw (of course, the first lead screw assembly can also be a ball screw assembly). One shaft end of the first lead screw is connected to the power output shaft of the first motor 3110 through the transmission assembly. The support 3112 is located above the cable management station and is fixedly connected to the first nut sleeve. At the same time, the support 3112 is also horizontally slidably connected to the upper side of the first stand 32.

[0053] Furthermore, the aforementioned transmission components can employ gear sets or a combination of synchronous pulleys and synchronous belts. The horizontal sliding connection between the support base 3112 and the upper side of the first upright 32 can be achieved by providing a sliding rail and slider combination that slidably engages at the bottom of the support base 3112 and the upper side of the first upright 32. The specific structure of the first drive mechanism 311 is not limited to the structures described above; it can also employ cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, or a combination of a motor and synchronous pulley / belt, etc. These are all commonly used linear drive structures in the field of automation, and therefore will not be detailed here.

[0054] The second drive mechanism 312 has a lifting cylinder 3120 and a mounting base 3121 used as a power output end. The cylinder body of the lifting cylinder 3120 is fixedly mounted on the support base 3112. The piston rod of the lifting cylinder 3120 can perform vertical extension and retraction movements (in this example, the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 3120 points downward). The mounting base 3121 is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 3120, and the mounting base 3121 is also vertically slidably connected to one side of the support base 3112.

[0055] Based on the specific structure of the aforementioned drive mechanism 31, the two gripper cylinders 301 are mounted side-by-side and fixedly installed on the mounting base 3121, and the side-by-side arrangement direction of the two gripper cylinders 301 is perpendicular to the horizontal extension direction of the first lead screw. Additionally, a pressure plate 33 is also installed on the mounting base 3121. The pressure plate 33 is used to press and compress the roots of the two coil wire ends, facilitating the adjustment / organization of the coil wire ends by the two sets of wire management components 30.

[0056] In summary, the wire management device designed based on the requirements for coil wire end management in this invention has a simple and reasonable structure, can accurately manage the position and orientation of coil wire ends, and improves product quality.

[0057] See appendix for details. Figure 1 To be continued Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the streamlined device 1 has a frame 10, a carrier 11 for carrying products, and a claw 12. A flow channel 100 is formed on the upper side of the frame 10, and the camera station and the cable management station are divided on the flow channel 100 along its conveying direction. The carrier 11 is disposed on the flow channel 100, and the claw 12 is disposed on the frame 10 and can be inserted into the carrier 11. At the same time, the claw 12 can also move along the conveying direction of the flow channel 100 to drive the carrier 11 and the products to move synchronously together.

[0058] More preferably, the conveying direction of the flow channel 100 is parallel to the second horizontal direction, that is, the flow channel 100 is a linear flow channel and the frame 10 is a linear frame.

[0059] A further preferred embodiment of the structure that enables the pawl 12 to be inserted into the carrier 11 is as follows: (see attached diagram) Figure 11 As shown, the carrier 11 has a carrier body 110, on which a cavity for placing the product and a positioning hole 111 are formed, and the carrier body 110 is also slidably disposed on the flow channel 100; see attached figure. Figure 3 To be continued Figure 6 As shown, the claw 12 has a T-shaped claw body 120 and pins 121 positioned on the claw body 120. The number of pins 121 is the same as the number of positioning holes 111, and they correspond one-to-one. The claw body 120 is movably connected to the frame 10 and placed below the carrier body 110. The claw body 120 can move up and down to drive the pins 121 to insert into or disengage from the positioning holes 111. When the pins 121 are inserted into the positioning holes 111, the claw body 120 can also move along the second horizontal direction to drive the carrier body 110 and the product to move synchronously together.

[0060] More preferably, regarding the carrier 11, a clamping block for clamping and positioning the product is provided around the cavity. The clamping block has a fixed clamping block and a movable clamping block arranged opposite to each other. The movable clamping block can move closer to or further away from the fixed clamping block under the drive of a cylinder, so as to clamp or release the product.

[0061] More preferably, the structure that enables the claw body 120 to move vertically and horizontally, and to move along the second horizontal direction, is as follows: see attached figure. Figure 3 To be continued Figure 6As shown, a first sliding member 101 and a second sliding member 102 are fixedly arranged on the inner wall of one side of the frame 10 along the second horizontal direction. The first sliding member 101 is a slide groove or slide rail structure extending in the vertical direction (preferably a slide rail in this example), and the second sliding member 102 is a slide groove or slide rail structure extending in the second horizontal direction (preferably a slide groove in this example). The streamlined device 1 also has a lifting drive mechanism and a horizontal drive mechanism. The lifting drive mechanism has a lifting plate seat 130, a mounting beam 131, a moving plate 132, a guide plate 133, a cam follower 134, and a cylinder 135. The lifting plate seat 130 is vertically slidably mounted on the first sliding member 101 via a third sliding member 136, and the lifting... A fourth sliding member 137 is also fixedly disposed on the side of the lowering plate seat 130 facing away from the third sliding member 136. The third sliding member 136 is a slide rail or slide groove structure (preferably a slide groove in this example) that slides in cooperation with the first sliding member 101. The fourth sliding member 137 is a slide groove or slide rail structure extending along the second horizontal direction (preferably a slide groove in this example). The mounting beam 131 is a long strip structure extending along the second horizontal direction. The mounting beam 131 is slidably mounted on the fourth sliding member 137 (i.e., the mounting beam 131 preferably uses a slide rail structure), and a plurality of the aforementioned claws 12 are fixedly disposed on the mounting beam 131 at intervals along its length. The moving plate 132 is connected to the fifth sliding member 138 via water... The fifth sliding member 138 is slidably mounted on the second sliding member 102, that is, the fifth sliding member 138 is a slide rail or slide groove structure that slides and cooperates with the second sliding member 102 (preferably a slide rail in this example). A guide plate 133 is also fixedly mounted on the side of the moving plate 132 facing the lifting plate seat 130. The guide plate 133 has a guide curved groove 139, which is approximately a Z-shaped groove structure with high and low points. The wheel of the cam follower 134 is slidably inserted into the guide curved groove 139, and the pin of the cam follower 134 is fixedly connected to the lifting plate seat 130. The cylinder body of the cylinder 135 is fixedly connected to the frame 10, and the piston of the cylinder 135... The piston rod can drive the moving plate 132 to move along the second horizontal direction, thereby driving the lifting plate seat 130, the mounting beam 131 and the several pawls 12 to move up and down together; specifically, when the piston rod of the cylinder 135 extends, it can drive the moving plate 132 and the guide plate 133 (the guide curved groove 139) to move in the positive direction along the second horizontal direction. At that time, the wheel of the cam follower 134 slides to the low point of the guide curved groove 139, thereby driving the lifting plate seat 130, the mounting beam 131 and the several pawls 12 to move downward together, and the pins 121 on the several pawls 12 disengage from the positioning holes 111 on the several carriers 11;When the piston rod of the cylinder 135 retracts, it can drive the moving plate 132 and the guide plate 133 (the guide curved groove 139) to move in the opposite direction along the second horizontal direction. At that time, the wheel of the cam follower 134 slides to the high point of the guide curved groove 139, thereby driving the lifting plate seat 130, the mounting beam 131 and the several pawls 12 to move upward together. The pins 121 on the several pawls 12 are inserted into the positioning holes 111 on the several carriers 11.

[0062] The horizontal drive mechanism includes a second motor 140, a second lead screw assembly 141, and a connecting seat 142. The second motor 140 is fixedly mounted on the frame 10. The second lead screw assembly 141 has a second lead screw extending along the second horizontal direction and rotatably mounted on the frame 10, and a second nut sleeve threadedly connected to the second lead screw (of course, the second lead screw assembly can also be a ball screw assembly). One end of the second lead screw is drively connected to the power output shaft of the second motor 140 (in this example, the second lead screw...). The shaft end is connected to the power output shaft of the second motor 140 via a coupling. The connecting seat 142 is fixedly connected between the second nut sleeve and the mounting beam 131.

[0063] More preferably, the connection between the cylinder 135 and the moving plate 132 can be achieved in the following ways: the piston rod of the cylinder 135 is fixedly connected to the moving plate 132; or, there is no direct connection between the piston rod of the cylinder 135 and the moving plate 132, but the piston rod of the cylinder 135 can push the moving plate 132 to move. In this case, an elastic element, such as a spring, is required on the frame 10 to allow the moving plate 132 to elastically return to its original position.

[0064] Furthermore, the specific structure of the aforementioned horizontal drive mechanism is not limited to the structure described above. It can also employ a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or a combination of a motor and a synchronous pulley and belt. These are all commonly used linear drive structures in the field of automation, and therefore will not be described in detail here.

Additionally, to facilitate the operation of the industrial camera 20, the vision guidance device 2 is also equipped with a light source 22, a lens 23, a precision optical adjustment platform 24, and other components. These are standard configurations in vision guidance systems and will not be described in detail here.

[0067] Furthermore, in this embodiment, to meet production needs, two sets of the visual guidance device 2 are configured, and the two sets of the visual guidance device 2 can be adjusted in horizontal position under the drive of a linear drive mechanism (such as a combination of a motor and a KK module).
