[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of tracker assembly equipment, and specifically relates to a press-fitting machine for assembling trackers. Background Technology

[0002] Anti-loss trackers are essential for forgetful elderly people, children, or those with poor memory. Most anti-loss trackers on the market only allow for finding items at close range, becoming ineffective for items beyond a certain distance. However, with technological advancements, Apple has developed a tracker that overcomes geographical limitations, enabling tracking across different locations. This tracker requires a press-fit machine during production. Existing press-fit machines have low automation levels, requiring manual assembly of internal components and placement into the housing before the press-fit machine completes the housing assembly. Furthermore, manual assembly can easily damage components, leading to a lower product yield. To address this issue, this invention proposes a press-fit machine for assembling trackers. Simply place the assembled components and housing onto the machine, and the press-fit machine will automatically assemble the tracker. Summary of the Invention

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] This invention provides a press-fitting machine for assembling trackers, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the press-fitting machine includes a base, a mounting frame 1, a pressing component 2, a flipping module, a positioning module, and an assembly component 7 for assembling the tracker. For example, the assembly component 7 is located in the middle of the base's operating table. The mounting frame 1 is fixedly installed on the base and is positioned near the rear end face of the base. A vertically placed electric slide rail 11 is installed inside the mounting frame 1. A sliding support 12 is provided on the electric slide rail 11, and the sliding support 12 can slide up and down on the electric slide rail 11. The flipping module includes a first flipping component 3 and a second flipping component 4, and the positioning module includes a first positioning component 5 and a second positioning component 6. Both the flipping module and the positioning module are installed on the operating table of the base.

[0028] Assembly component 7 includes a suction cup with an array of through holes that communicate with a vacuum cylinder located directly below the suction cup. Figure 1 As shown, three vacuum switches are provided on the front end face of the base. The three vacuum switches are used to control the vacuum cylinders in the first flipping assembly 3, the second flipping assembly 4, and the assembly assembly 7 to form a vacuum. After the base film is placed on the suction cup, the vacuum switch located in the middle position is pressed. The vacuum cylinder in the assembly assembly 7 forms a vacuum and firmly adsorbs the base film onto the suction cup. Then, the separable film on the base film is peeled off. In addition, a pressure sensor is provided at the assembly position of the assembly assembly 7 to monitor the pressure during the assembly process to prevent the parts from being crushed and causing material loss.

[0029] The clamping assembly 2 is mounted on the mounting bracket 1, for example, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the clamping assembly 2 includes a mounting plate 21, a rotary cylinder 22, and a pressure plate 23. The mounting plate 21 consists of two mutually perpendicular plates. One plate is fixedly mounted on the sliding support 12, and the rotary cylinder 22 is mounted on the upper surface of the other plate. The rotation shaft of the rotary cylinder 22 passes through the plate, and the pressure plate 23 is mounted on one end of the rotation shaft passing through the plate. The pressure plate 23 is located directly above the assembly assembly 7. The lower end of the pressure plate 23 is provided with a fixedly connected limiting protrusion. During operation, the electric slide rail 11 drives the clamping assembly 2 to move downward, and the pressure plate 23 presses the assembly to be assembled together. After clamping is completed, the rotary cylinder 22 drives the pressure plate 23 to rotate. The pressure plate 23 drives the assembly to rotate through the limiting protrusion, thus completing the assembly of the tracker.

[0030] The first flipping component 3 and the second flipping component 4 are respectively installed on both sides of the assembly component 7, such as Figure 2As shown, the first flipping assembly 3 includes a first rotating plate 31. A first housing 33 is mounted on the lower end surface of the first rotating plate 31. A floating mounting head 32 is provided on the upper end surface of the first rotating plate 31. A positioning block is provided at the floating mounting head 32. A through hole is provided in the middle of the floating mounting head 32. A spring, a tubular component, and a vacuum cylinder are installed inside the first housing 33. One end of the tubular component passes through the first rotating plate 31 and communicates with the through hole in the middle of the floating mounting head 32. The other end of the tubular component communicates with the vacuum cylinder. The spring is fitted onto the tubular component. One end of the spring is mounted on the inner shell of the first housing 33, and the other end is mounted on the vacuum cylinder. A vent valve is provided on the vacuum cylinder.

[0031] During use, the tracker housing is snapped onto the positioning block on the floating mounting head 32. The vacuum button that controls the vacuum cylinder inside the first housing 33 to form a vacuum is pressed, and the material is adsorbed onto the floating mounting head 32. During this process, the spring is gradually compressed until the end face of the floating mounting head 32 near the first rotating plate 31 is in contact with the first rotating plate 31. At this time, the first flipping component 3 rotates and flips the material onto the base film on the assembly component 7. The vent valve on the vacuum cylinder is opened, the suction disappears, the tracker housing is placed on the assembly component 7, the first flipping component 3 reverses to its original position, and the first positioning component 5 adjusts the position of the material. After the position of the material is adjusted, the suction disappears and the floating mounting head 32 can also return to its original position under the action of the spring.

[0032] The second flipping assembly 4 includes a second rotating plate 41, such as Figure 3 As shown, a second housing is mounted on the lower end face of the second rotating plate 41, and a positioning clip connector 42 is provided on the upper end face of the second rotating plate 41. The positioning clip connector 42 has a through hole in the middle. A vacuum cylinder and a spring are also installed inside the second housing. A columnar tube is provided at the upper end of the vacuum cylinder, and the spring is fitted on the columnar tube. The through hole on the positioning clip connector 42 is connected to the vacuum cylinder inside the second housing through the columnar tube. One end of the spring is connected to the inner end face of the second housing, and the other end is connected to the upper end face of the vacuum cylinder. A pressure plate 43 is provided below the second housing. A connecting post is provided on the upper end face of the pressure plate 43. The connecting post passes through the second housing and is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the vacuum cylinder. A limiting groove is provided on the lower end face of the pressure plate 43.

[0033] During use, the material is placed on the positioning card connector 42, and the second positioning component 6 is activated to adjust the position of the material. After the position adjustment is completed, the vacuum button that controls the vacuum cylinder in the second machine box to form a vacuum is pressed, and the material is adsorbed onto the positioning card connector 42. The second rotating plate 41 rotates to rotate the material onto the assembly component 7. The pressing component 2 begins to move downward to the preset position to pre-press the material. At this time, the limiting protrusion at the lower end of the pressure plate 23 extends into the limiting groove on the lower end surface of the pressure plate 43. After the pressing component 2 moves to the preset position, the rotary cylinder 22 drives the pressure plate 43 to rotate by a preset angle through the cooperation of the limiting protrusion and the limiting groove. After rotating by the preset angle, the pressing component 2 moves upward to the original position. During this process, the rotary cylinder 22 reverses to the original position.

[0034] The first positioning component 5 is installed on the side of the assembly component 7 away from the mounting bracket 1. The first positioning component 5 includes a mounting groove, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the mounting groove is provided with a fixedly connected slide rail 52 and a limiting rod 51. The slide rail 52 is provided with a slidably connected sliding component 54. One end of the sliding component 54 is equipped with an adjusting component 56. The first positioning component 5 also includes a cylinder 55, which is installed on one side of the sliding component 54. The cylinder 55 is used to push the sliding component 54 to slide on the slide rail 52. In this embodiment, the adjusting component 56 is set as a rod, and the end face of the adjusting end of the rod is set as an inclined surface. The adjusting component 56 can also be set as other shapes, which are not specifically limited in this invention. A return spring 53 is fitted on the limiting rod 51. One end of the return spring 53 is connected to the inner end face of the mounting groove, and the other end is connected to the sliding component 54. When adjusting the position, the telescopic shaft of the cylinder 55 extends to push the adjusting component 56 to adjust the material to the designated position. After the position is adjusted, the cylinder 55 is closed, and the return spring 53 drives the sliding component 54 back to the original position.

[0035] The second positioning component 6 is installed on the side of the second flipping component 4 away from the mounting bracket 1, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the second positioning component 6 also includes a mounting groove, in which a slide rail and a limiting rod are fixedly connected. A sliding component is slidably connected on the slide rail. An adjustment component is installed at one end of the sliding component, and a cylinder is installed at the other end. The difference between the second positioning component 6 and the first positioning component 5 lies in the different adjustment components. The end face of the adjustment end of the second adjustment component 61 of the second positioning component 6 is an arc-shaped notch. In this embodiment, the axis of the arc-shaped notch coincides with the axis of the positioning card connector 42. This invention does not impose specific limitations on this, as long as the function of adjusting the position of the material can be realized; for example, the axis of the arc-shaped notch is parallel to the axis of the positioning card connector 42.

[0036] During use, when the part is placed in the positioning connector 42, the cylinder extension shaft extends to push the second adjustment component 61 to adjust the part to the designated position. After the adjustment is completed, the cylinder closes and the return spring drives the second adjustment component 61 back to the original position.

[0037] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
