[0002] The current process for assembling pulse igniters involves manual pre-assembly followed by pressing in using a simple tooling fixture. Because the inserts are small and precise, and their orientation must be carefully determined during insertion, manual operation is difficult, slow, and inefficient. Furthermore, the frequent use of both hands during tooling insertion poses a risk of workplace injuries. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a pulse igniter insert assembly equipment that can realize the automated assembly of the housing and insert, improve the assembly efficiency of the housing and insert, effectively reduce the generation of defective products, and effectively avoid work-related accidents caused by frequent manual operation.

[0004] The above-mentioned technical problems are solved by the following technical solutions:

[0007] The shell feeding mechanism includes a shell vibrating plate and a material feeding assembly. The shell vibrating plate is used to store the shell and transport the shell inside to the material feeding station. The material feeding assembly is used to separate the shell located at the first end of the material feeding station from the shells adjacent to the shell located at the first end, and transport the shell located at the first end to the placement table.

[0008] The insert feeding and pre-assembly mechanism includes an insert vibratory feeder and an insert pre-assembly assembly. The insert vibratory feeder is used to store the inserts and transport the inserts inside to the transfer station. The insert pre-assembly assembly is used to transport the inserts from the transfer station to the placement table and can install the inserts into the housing.

[0009] The clamping mechanism includes a first clamping component, which is used to clamp the housing when the insert pre-assembly component installs the insert into the housing.

[0010] In the above scheme, by setting up a shell feeding mechanism, the shell vibratory feeder can store shells and transport the internal shells to the sorting station. The sorting and feeding component separates the shells located at the first end of the sorting station from the shells adjacent to the first end of the sorting station and transports the first end of the shells to the placement table to facilitate accurate shell transportation. By setting up an insert feeding and pre-assembly mechanism, the insert vibratory feeder can transport inserts to the transfer station. The insert pre-assembly component can transport the inserts from the transfer station to the placement table and can install the inserts into the shells. By setting up a first clamping component, the shell is clamped when the inserts are installed into the shell to prevent the shell from shifting during the assembly of the inserts and the shell, thereby improving the assembly accuracy and efficiency of the inserts and the shell. This application can realize the automated assembly of the shell and the inserts, improve the assembly efficiency of the shell and the inserts, and effectively avoid work-related accidents caused by frequent manual operation.

[0049] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 10 and Figure 11One embodiment of this application provides a pulse igniter insert assembly device 10, including a workbench 100, a conveying device 200, a housing feeding mechanism 300, an insert feeding pre-assembly mechanism 400, and a clamping mechanism 500. The housing feeding mechanism 300, the insert feeding pre-assembly mechanism 400, and the clamping mechanism 500 are arranged sequentially along the conveying direction of the conveying device 200. The housing feeding mechanism 300 is used to transport the housing 900. The insert feeding pre-assembly mechanism 400 is used to transport the insert 1000 and can realize the assembly of the housing 900 and the insert 1000. The clamping mechanism 500 is used to clamp the insert 1000.

[0050] Specifically, the conveying device 200 is rotatably mounted on the worktable 100. For example, the conveying device 200 is a turntable. The housing feeding mechanism 300, the insert feeding pre-assembly mechanism 400, and the clamping mechanism 500 are mounted on the worktable 100 and arranged sequentially along the circumference of the conveying device 200.

[0051] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 The conveying device 200 is equipped with a placement platform 210 for positioning the housing 900. The housing feeding mechanism 300 is used to convey the housing 900 to the placement platform 210. The insert feeding and pre-assembly mechanism 400 is used to transport the insert 1000 to the placement platform 210. The placement platform 210 is used to receive the housing 900 conveyed by the housing feeding mechanism 300 and the insert 1000 conveyed by the insert feeding and pre-assembly mechanism 400.

[0052] Specifically, the placement platform 210 includes multiple platforms, which are evenly spaced along the circumference of the conveying device 200. More specifically, each placement platform 210 has a receiving groove for accommodating the housing 900, and the shape of the receiving groove is adapted to the shape of the housing 900, so that the receiving groove can limit the housing 900 and prevent the housing 900 from shaking when the conveying device 200 rotates. This application does not limit the number of placement platforms 210, and can set them according to actual usage requirements. For example, the conveying device 200 is provided with eight placement platforms 210.

[0053] It should be noted that the turntable drive unit 220 that drives the conveyor device 200 to rotate can be a drive motor, a divider, or a power drive component. The output end of the divider is connected to the conveyor device 200 via a transmission connection, and the input end of the divider is connected to the power drive component via a transmission connection. The power drive component can drive the divider to rotate, thereby driving the conveyor device 200 to rotate.

[0054] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 11The housing loading mechanism 300 includes a housing vibratory feeder 330 and a material distribution and loading assembly. The housing vibratory feeder 330 is used to store housings 900 and transport the housings 900 inside to the material distribution station for material distribution by the material distribution and loading assembly. The material distribution and loading assembly is used to separate the housings 900 located at the first end of the material distribution station from the housings 900 located adjacent to the first end of ...

[0055] Specifically, the shell feeding mechanism 300 also includes a second vertical vibration material channel 320 and a shell storage hopper 340, which stores shells 900. The shell storage hopper 340 has a discharge port, through which the shells 900 inside the shell storage hopper 340 enter the shell vibrating plate 330. The shell vibrating plate 330 stores the shells 900 and conveys them to the second vertical vibration material channel 320, which then conveys the shells 900 to the material distribution station for distribution by the material distribution and feeding assembly.

[0056] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 10 The insert feeding and pre-assembly mechanism 400 includes an insert vibratory feeder 412 and an insert pre-assembly assembly 420. The insert vibratory feeder 412 is used to store inserts 1000 and transport the inserts 1000 inside to the transfer station. The insert pre-assembly assembly 420 is used to transport the inserts 1000 from the transfer station to the placement table 210 and can install the inserts 1000 onto the housing 900.

[0057] Specifically, the insert feeding and pre-assembly mechanism 400 further includes an insert feeding assembly 410, which is used to transport inserts 1000 to a transfer station. The transfer station is located between the insert feeding assembly 410 and the insert pre-assembly assembly 420. More specifically, the insert feeding assembly 410 includes a first vibrating feeder 411 and the aforementioned insert vibrating disk 412. The insert vibrating disk 412 is used to store inserts 1000 and transport inserts 1000 to the first vibrating feeder 411. The first vibrating feeder 411 is used to transport inserts 1000 to the transfer station to facilitate the operation of the insert pre-assembly assembly 420.

[0058] The clamping mechanism includes a first clamping component 520, which is used to clamp the housing 900 when the insert 1000 is installed on the housing 900 by the insert pre-assembly component 420, so as to prevent the housing 900 from moving when the insert 1000 is installed on the housing 900, thereby improving the assembly accuracy and assembly efficiency of the insert 1000 and the housing 900.

[0059] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 10According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, the insert pre-assembly assembly 420 includes a first gripper 421 and a first gripper drive unit 422. The first gripper drive unit 422 includes a gripper linear drive unit 4221 and a gripper rotation drive unit 4222. The gripper rotation drive unit 4222 is used to drive the first gripper 421 and the gripper linear drive unit 4221 to rotate by a set angle. The gripper linear drive unit 4221 is used to drive the first gripper 421 to grasp the insert 1000 on the transfer station, and can drive the first gripper 421 to move to the placement table 210, and can install the insert 1000 onto the housing 900. Specifically, the gripper rotation drive unit 4222 is used to drive the first gripper 421 and the gripper linear drive unit 4221 to rotate by 90°.

[0060] When the insert feeding assembly 410 conveys the insert 1000 to the transfer station, the gripper linear drive unit 4221 drives the first gripper 421 to move linearly to grab the insert 1000 on the transfer station. Once the first gripper 421 has grabbed the insert 1000 on the transfer station, the gripper linear drive unit 4221 drives the first gripper 421 to move linearly back to the initial position. Then, the gripper rotation drive unit 4222 drives the first gripper 421 and the gripper linear drive unit 4221 to rotate 90° to adjust the position of the first gripper 421. Then, the gripper linear drive unit 4221 drives the first gripper 421 to move along the direction close to the housing 900 to install the insert 1000 onto the housing 900.

[0061] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, there are two first direct-vibration material channels 411 and insert vibrating disks 412, and the two first direct-vibration material channels 411 are arranged close to each other. That is, the two insert vibrating disks 412 each rotate an insert 1000 onto the corresponding first direct-vibration material channel 411.

[0062] Specifically, the housing 900 has two insertion holes 910. That is, each housing 900 corresponds to two inserts 1000. The first vibrating feed channel 411 conveys the two inserts 1000 to the transfer station, and the first gripper drive unit 422 drives the first gripper 421 to simultaneously grab the two inserts 1000 on the first vibrating feed channel 411 and install them into the housing 900.

[0063] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 10According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, the insert feeding and pre-assembly mechanism 400 further includes an insert detection component 430 and a pressing component 440, which are disposed on the conveying path of the insert 1000. The insert detection component 430 is used to detect whether there is an insert 1000 at the transfer station. The pressing component 440 is used to press the insert 1000 at the transfer station. Specifically, the insert detection component 430 and the pressing component 440 are disposed between the insert feeding component 410 and the insert pre-assembly component 420.

[0064] Specifically, the insert detection assembly 430 includes a limiting block 431, an insert detection module, and a limiting drive module 432. The limiting block 431 is disposed between the insert pre-assembly assembly 420 and the first vertical vibration material channel 411, and serves to limit the inserts 1000 on the first vertical vibration material channel 411. The limiting drive module 432 drives the limiting block 431 to limit the inserts 1000 on the first vertical vibration material channel 411. The limiting block 431 is provided with limiting grooves, which can receive the inserts 1000 conveyed by the first vertical vibration material channel 411. The number of limiting grooves corresponds one-to-one with the number of inserts 1000.

[0065] The pressing assembly 440 includes a pressing block 442 and a pressing drive unit 441. The pressing drive unit 441 drives the pressing block 442 to press the insert 1000 on the first vibrating material channel 411. The pressing block 442 is provided with a plurality of pressing protrusions, the number of which corresponds one-to-one with the number of inserts 1000. The pressing protrusions can abut against the inserts 1000. The pressing assembly 440 also includes an elastic member 443 and a pressing support member 444. The pressing drive unit 441 is disposed on the pressing support member 444, and the elastic member 443 is disposed between the pressing support member 444 and the pressing block 442 to prevent the pressing block 442 from damaging the insert 1000 when pressing the insert 1000. Specifically, the elastic element 443 includes an elastic column and a spring. The pressure block 442 is slidably connected to the elastic column, and the spring is sleeved on the elastic column. The two ends of the spring abut against the pressure block 442 and the pressure support member 444, respectively. More specifically, both the limiting block 431 and the pressure block 442 move along the Z direction. Exemplarily, both the limiting drive module 432 and the pressure drive unit 441 can be cylinders.

[0066] An insert detection module is mounted on the limiting block 431 to detect whether there is an insert 1000 on the first vertical vibration material channel 411. The insert detection module is communicatively connected to the control module, which in turn controls the limiting drive module 432 and the pressing drive unit 441. When the insert detection module detects an insert 1000 on the first vertical vibration material channel 411, the control module controls the limiting drive module 432 and the pressing drive unit 441 to operate, thereby moving the limiting block 431 downward to release the limitation on the insert 1000 on the first vertical vibration material channel 411. It also moves the pressing block 442 downward to press the insert 1000 on the first vertical vibration material channel 411, so that the first gripper 421 can grasp it.

[0067] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 11 According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, the material feeding assembly further includes a material feeding module 350, a feeding gripper, and a feeding drive unit 310. The material feeding module 350 is used to separate the housing 900 located at the first end of the material feeding station from the housing 900 adjacent to it located at the first end. The feeding drive unit 310 is used to drive the feeding gripper to move, so as to grab the housing 900 on the material feeding station and transport it to the placement table 210. The feeding detection module is used to detect whether there is a housing 900 on the material feeding station. Exemplarily, the feeding drive unit 310 can be a robotic arm.

[0068] Specifically, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 The material distribution module 350 includes a material distribution component 351 and a second clamping component 352. The material distribution component 351 is used to move the housing 900 located at the first end of the material distribution station, so as to separate the housing 900 located at the first end from other housings 900. The second clamping component 352 is used to clamp the housing 900 located adjacent to the housing 900 located at the first end. The material distribution station is located on the second vertical vibration material channel 320.

[0069] More specifically, the feeding detection module is located at one end of the material distribution component 351 near the second vertical vibration material channel 320. The feeding detection module is communicatively connected to the control module, which controls the material distribution component 351 and the second clamping component 352. For example, the feeding detection module can be a photoelectric switch.

[0070] The material distribution unit 351 includes a receiving section and a material distribution drive section. The receiving section has a receiving groove for accommodating a housing 900, which receives the housing 900 on the second vertical vibration material channel 320. The material distribution drive section drives the receiving section to move in a direction away from or towards the second vertical vibration material channel 320. When the receiving section approaches the second vertical vibration material channel 320, the housing 900 located at the first end of the second vertical vibration material channel 320 can be received in the receiving section. When the receiving section moves away from the second vertical vibration material channel 320, it can drive the housing 900 inside the receiving section away from the second vertical vibration material channel 320, so that the housing 900 inside the receiving section is away from other housings 900, which facilitates the precise gripping of the feeding gripper. A control module controls the material distribution drive section. For example, the material distribution drive section can be a cylinder.

[0071] The second clamping member 352 is disposed at one end of the second linear vibrating feed channel 320. The second clamping member 352 includes a second clamping block and a second clamping drive unit. The second clamping drive unit drives the second clamping block to move in a direction close to the housing 900, thereby clamping the housing 900 adjacent to the housing 900 located at the first end. A control module controls the connection to the second clamping drive unit. Exemplarily, the second clamping drive unit may be a cylinder.

[0072] When the feeding detection module detects that there is a housing 900 on the second vertical vibration material channel 320, the control module controls the material distribution drive unit and the second clamping drive unit to operate, so as to drive the second clamping block to move in the direction close to the housing 900, so as to clamp the housing 900 adjacent to the housing 900 located at the first end, and drive the storage part to move in the direction away from the second vertical vibration material channel 320, so that the housing 900 in the storage part is far away from other housings 900, which can facilitate the precise gripping of the feeding claw.

[0073] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 10 The clamping mechanism 500 further includes a second clamping component 510, which is used to clamp the insert 1000 after the insert pre-assembly component 420 installs the insert 1000 onto the housing 900, so that the insert 1000 is inserted into place. The first clamping component 520 is used to clamp the housing 900 when the insert 1000 is pre-assembled onto the housing 900 and when the insert 1000 is inserted into place, so as to prevent the housing 900 from moving when the insert 1000 is installed onto the housing 900 and when the insert 1000 is inserted into place, thereby improving the assembly accuracy and assembly efficiency of the insert 1000 and the housing 900.

[0074] It is important to understand that the housing 900 has a socket 910 for inserting the insert 1000. Because the insert 1000 is small, it cannot be directly inserted into the socket. Therefore, the first gripper drive unit 422 drives the first gripper 421 to grasp the insert 1000 and insert it into the socket 910 of the housing 900. During this process, the insert 1000 is only located within the socket 910 and is not fully inserted. The second clamping assembly 510 then clamps the insert 1000 to ensure it is fully inserted, thus effectively ensuring the assembly of the insert 1000 with the housing 900 and reducing the production of defective products.

[0075] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 8 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, the first clamping assembly 520 includes a first clamping support post 521 and two first clamping members 522 disposed on the first clamping support post 521, the two first clamping members 522 being spaced apart. One of the two first clamping members 522 is used to clamp the housing 900 when the insert 1000 is installed on the housing 900. The other of the two first clamping members 522 is used to clamp the housing 900 when the insert 1000 is inserted into place.

[0076] Specifically, each of the two first clamping members 522 includes a third clamping block 5222 and a third clamping drive part 5221. The third clamping drive part 5221 is used to drive the third clamping block 5222 to move along the Z direction so that the third clamping block 5222 clamps the housing 900.

[0077] See Figure 1 , Figure 7 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, the second clamping assembly 510 includes a second clamping block 511 and a second clamping drive part 512. The second clamping drive part 512 is used to drive the second clamping block 511 to move in a direction close to the placement table 210, so that the second clamping block 511 abuts against the insert 1000, and can drive the insert 1000 to move relative to the housing 900, so that the insert 1000 is inserted into place. The second clamping assembly 510 also includes a second clamping support column 513, on which both the second clamping block 511 and the second clamping drive part 512 are disposed. Exemplarily, the second clamping drive part 512 may be a cylinder.

[0078] Specifically, the second pressing drive unit 512 drives the second pressing block 511 to move in a straight line, and the second pressing block 511 abuts against one side of the insert 1000 to move the insert 1000 closer to the housing 900 so that the insert 1000 is inserted into place. More specifically, the second pressing drive unit 512 drives the second pressing block 511 to move in the X direction.

[0079] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 8 and Figure 10 The pulse igniter insert assembly equipment 10 also includes a first detection mechanism 600, which is used to detect whether the insert 1000 is inserted in place after the second clamping component 510 clamps the insert 1000, so as to obtain good products and defective products.

[0080] The first testing mechanism 600 includes a first testing support column 610 and a finished product testing module 620 disposed on the first testing support column 610. The number of finished product testing modules 620 corresponds one-to-one with the number of inserts 1000. The pulse igniter insert assembly equipment 10 also includes a control module. The finished product testing module 620 is communicatively connected to the control module, and the control module controls and connects to the sorting mechanism 700. The control module is used to achieve automated control. For example, the finished product testing module 620 uses a testing optical fiber.

[0081] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 9 According to some embodiments of this application, the pulse igniter insert assembly equipment 10 may optionally include a sorting mechanism 700, which is used to transport good and defective products to the corresponding unloading station.

[0082] Specifically, the sorting mechanism 700 includes a second gripper 710, a second gripper drive unit 720, a good product discharge component 730, a defective product discharge component 740, and a switching drive unit 750. The second gripper drive unit 720 drives the second gripper 710 to grip the assembled products inspected by the second inspection mechanism 800 and transport them to the unloading station. The switching drive unit 750 switches between driving the good product discharge component 730 and the defective product discharge component 740, so that the good product discharge component 730 receives good products and the defective product discharge component 740 receives defective products. Both the good product discharge component 730 and the defective product discharge component 740 are inclined, and the inclination angles of the good product discharge component 730 and the defective product discharge component 740 are different.

[0083] Specifically, the second gripper drive unit 720 includes a sorting X-direction drive unit 721 and a sorting Z-direction drive unit 722. The sorting Z-direction drive unit 722 drives the second gripper 710 to move along the Z-direction. The sorting X-direction drive unit 721 drives the sorting Z-direction drive unit 722 and the second gripper 710 to move along the X-direction. The sorting X-direction drive unit 721 and the sorting Z-direction drive unit 722 cooperate with each other to drive the second gripper 710 to grasp the assembled product after inspection by the first inspection mechanism 600 and transport it to the unloading station. For example, both the sorting X-direction drive unit 721 and the sorting Z-direction drive unit 722 are cylinders.

[0084] The defective product discharge unit 740 is located below the good product discharge unit 730. The switching drive unit 750 drives the good product discharge unit 730 to move so that its feed end blocks or moves away from the feed end of the defective product discharge unit 740. When the feed end of the good product discharge unit 730 blocks the feed end of the defective product discharge unit 740, the good product discharge unit 730 receives good products. When the feed end of the good product discharge unit 730 moves away from the feed end of the defective product discharge unit 740, the feed end of the defective product discharge unit 740 is exposed, and the defective product discharge unit 740 receives defective products. For example, the switching drive unit 750 is a cylinder.

[0085] The control module controls the second gripper drive unit 720 and the switching drive unit 750. When the first detection mechanism 600 detects that the insert 1000 is inserted in place, it is judged as a good product. When the first detection mechanism 600 detects that the insert 1000 is not inserted in place, it is judged as a defective product. The first detection mechanism 600 transmits the detection information to the control module. The control module judges whether it is a defective or good product based on the information detected by the first detection mechanism 600, and controls the second gripper drive unit 720 and the switching drive unit 750 to operate, so as to drive the second gripper 710 to grab the assembled product after being detected by the second detection mechanism 800, and then drive the corresponding discharge component to receive the assembled product.

[0086] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 11 According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, the pulse igniter insert assembly equipment 10 further includes a second detection mechanism 800. The second detection mechanism 800 is disposed between the housing feeding mechanism 300 and the insert feeding pre-assembly mechanism 400, and is used to detect whether there is a housing 900 on the placement table 210. By setting the second detection mechanism 800, the presence or absence of a housing 900 on the placement table 210 can be detected, effectively avoiding the phenomenon of subsequent empty space operations.

[0087] Specifically, the second detection mechanism 800 includes a second detection support column 810, a housing detection module 820, a top material plate 830, and a detection drive unit 840. The detection drive unit 840 is fixedly connected to the second detection support column 810. The top material plate 830 is slidably connected to the second detection support column 810. The detection drive unit 840 drives the top material plate 830 to move along the direction close to the placement stage 210, so that the top material plate 830 abuts against the housing 900. The housing detection module 820 is used to detect whether the housing 900 is on the placement stage 210. More specifically, the top material plate 830 is slidably connected to the second detection support column 810 along the Z direction.

[0088] The housing detection module 820 includes a detection optical fiber 821 mounted on a detection support column and a detection plate 822 mounted on a top plate 830. A detection drive unit 840 moves the top plate 830 closer to the placement stage 210, causing it to abut against the housing 900. As the detection drive unit 840 continues to move the top plate 830, it can cause the top plate 830 to move upwards, which in turn causes the detection plate 822 to move upwards. When the detection optical fiber 821 detects the detection plate 822, it is determined that the housing 900 is present. When the housing 900 is not present, the top plate 830 and the detection plate 822 will not move upwards.

[0089] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0090] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
