Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0042] Magnets, as crucial internal components in handle-type products, are typically installed within snap-fit ​​structures. Magnets are usually supplied in bulk and align themselves using their own attraction. Assembly requires separating the magnets, pushing them into the snap-fit, and ensuring the correct magnetic poles. Current technology generally employs manual labor, but prolonged operation leads to fatigue, errors, and is difficult, inefficient, and results in inconsistent quality and non-compliance with requirements.

[0043] To address the above problems, the present invention provides an assembly device. Figure 1 A perspective view of an embodiment of the assembly equipment provided by the present invention; Figure 2 for Figure 1 A three-dimensional schematic diagram of the feeding components and the material handling mechanism in the middle; Figure 3 for Figure 2 A front view of the feeding assembly in the middle; Figure 4 for Figure 1 A three-dimensional schematic diagram of the assembly mechanism; Figure 5 for Figure 1 A three-dimensional schematic diagram of the magnetic pole detection device in the image; Figure 6 for Figure 1 A three-dimensional schematic diagram of the waste discharge mechanism.

[0044] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The assembly equipment 100 includes a base 1, an assembly mechanism 4, a detection mechanism 6, a waste removal mechanism 7, and a control device. The base 1 is provided with a feeding station, a detection station, an assembly station, and a waste removal station. The assembly mechanism 4 includes a picking part 41 for picking up magnetic materials. The picking part 41 is movably arranged and has a travel distance between the feeding station and the assembly station, as well as a vertical travel distance. The picking part 41 is used to transport magnetic materials from the feeding station to the assembly station during its travel distance, and to assemble the magnetic materials onto the product at the assembly station during its downward travel distance. The detection mechanism 6 is arranged corresponding to the detection station and is used to detect the magnetic poles and positions of the magnetic materials assembled onto the product. The waste removal mechanism 7 is used to transport products that fail the detection to the waste removal station. The control device is electrically connected to the detection mechanism 6 and the waste removal mechanism 7 and is used to control the operation of the waste removal mechanism 7 according to the detection mechanism 6.

[0045] In the technical solution provided by this invention, the picking unit 41 in the assembly mechanism 4 transports the magnetic material located at the feeding station to the assembly station, and presses the magnetic material downward to assemble it onto the product at the assembly station, thereby realizing automatic assembly. The detection mechanism 6 detects the magnetic poles and positions of the magnetic material assembled on the product. When a defective assembled product is detected, the control device controls the waste removal mechanism 7 to remove the defective product. Products that meet the assembly standards can enter the next step of the production line normally, thus solving the problems of difficult and inefficient assembly in the existing assembly method, and inconsistent quality after assembly, resulting in assembly that does not meet the requirements.

[0046] Specifically, in this embodiment, the feeding device further includes a feeding component 2 and a picking mechanism 3. The feeding component 2 includes a hopper 21 and a foolproof structure 22. The hopper 21 forms a channel for stacking multiple magnetic materials. The foolproof structure 22 is located at the inlet end and / or outlet end of the channel. The foolproof structure 22 is used to ensure that the magnetic poles of each magnetic material can be stacked in a preset magnetic pole direction. The picking mechanism 3 includes a picking part 31. The picking part 31 is used to sequentially pick up the magnetic materials from the outlet end of the channel and transport them to the feeding station. In this way, multiple magnetic materials that are magnetically connected to each other are placed in the material channel of the hopper 21. Through the foolproof structure 22, the magnetic poles of each magnetic material can be stacked according to the preset magnetic pole direction to avoid the magnetic poles being installed in reverse. After multiple magnetic materials are placed in the hopper 21, the picking unit 31 takes each magnetic material out from the outlet end of the material channel according to the preset magnetic pole direction and sends it to the loading station. Finally, the picking unit 41 transports the magnetic materials located at the loading station to the assembly station for assembly, so that the magnetic poles of the magnetic materials can be initially detected during the initial feeding.

[0047] Specifically, in this embodiment, the foolproof structure 22 includes a Hall sensor 221 disposed at the inlet end of the material channel; and / or, the foolproof structure 22 includes a magnet 222 disposed at the outlet end of the material channel.

[0048] It should be noted that the Hall sensor 221 is a sensor based on the Hall effect, capable of measuring the strength and direction of a magnetic field. The Hall effect refers to the phenomenon where, when an electric current flows through a conductor in a magnetic field, a potential difference is generated across the conductor. The basic principle of the Hall sensor 221 is to use the Hall effect to measure the strength and direction of a magnetic field. It consists of a Hall element, a power supply, and an output circuit. When current flows through the Hall element, if it is in a magnetic field, a potential difference is generated across the Hall element, and this potential difference is related to the strength and direction of the magnetic field. The output circuit converts this potential difference into a voltage signal, thereby measuring the magnetic field. In the Hall sensor 221, the linear Hall sensor 221 can measure both the strength and direction of a magnetic field.

[0049] When the Hall sensor 221 is installed at the inlet end of the material channel, when the operator or the feeding device is feeding the material, if the magnetic poles of multiple magnetic materials that are mutually attracted are reversed from the set magnetic poles, the Hall sensor 221 will detect the abnormality and issue a detection signal. It can be understood that the foolproof structure 22 also includes a control device and a reminder device. The control device is electrically connected to the reminder device and the Hall sensor 221. The reminder device can be a sound device or an alarm light, etc. When the Hall sensor 221 detects a magnetic pole abnormality, the control device receives the detection signal and controls the reminder device to work, so that the magnetic materials can be adjusted to the installed magnetic poles in a timely manner.

[0050] When a magnet 222 is installed at the outlet end of the material channel to prevent fooling, the magnetic pole direction of the magnet 222 can be set to be consistent with the preset magnetic pole direction of the magnetic material. When the magnetic poles of multiple magnetic materials in the material channel are installed into the material channel in the set direction, the magnet 222 will attract the multiple magnetic materials in the material channel to fall further. However, when the magnetic poles of multiple magnetic materials in the material channel are not installed into the material channel in the set direction, that is, the magnetic poles of the magnetic materials are reversed, the magnet 222 will repel the multiple magnetic materials in the material channel to prevent the magnetic materials in the material channel from falling.

[0051] Specifically, in this embodiment, the material channel extends vertically, which facilitates the movement of multiple magnetic materials from the inlet end to the outlet end of the material channel by their own gravity when multiple magnetic materials are placed in the material channel.

[0052] The feeding assembly 2 also includes an installation part 23 located at the bottom of the hopper 21. The installation part 23 forms a longitudinally extending material picking channel 23a. The top of the installation part 23 is provided with a discharge port that connects the material picking channel 23a and the material channel. Thus, the magnetic material located below can fall into the material picking channel 23a from the discharge port. To facilitate the receiving and removal of magnetic materials from the material receiving channel 23a, in this embodiment, the material receiving mechanism 3 further includes a receiving part 331. The receiving part 331 is equipped with the material receiving part 331 and is movably disposed longitudinally between the machine base 1 and the material channel. The receiving part 331 has a material receiving position and a material loading position during its travel. When the receiving part 331 moves to the material receiving position, it aligns with the discharge port and picks up one magnetic material located at the bottom of the material channel. When the receiving part 331 moves to the material loading position, it separates from the discharge port and protrudes outside the material receiving channel 23a, reaching the loading position. Thus, during the longitudinal travel of the receiving part 331, one magnetic material can be picked up from the discharge port each time and moved outside the material receiving channel 23a, facilitating material retrieval by the picking part 41.

[0053] Furthermore, by setting the material picking channel 23a, when the receiving part 331 moves longitudinally, the side wall of the material picking channel 23a can guide the receiving part 331, ensuring the smoothness of the movement of the receiving part 331.

[0054] Furthermore, in order to improve assembly efficiency, it is necessary to improve the material feeding efficiency. Therefore, in this embodiment, multiple material bins 21, multiple material picking sections 31 and multiple material receiving sections 331 are provided. Multiple material bins 21 are arranged at intervals in the horizontal direction. Multiple material picking channels 23a are provided. Multiple material picking channels 23a are arranged at intervals in the horizontal direction. The feeding component 2 includes multiple receiving plates 33. Each receiving plate 33 includes multiple support arms arranged at intervals in the horizontal direction. Each support arm is corresponding to one of the material picking channels 23a. Each support arm forms the material receiving section 331.

[0055] It is understood that each of the receiving plates 33 can be driven by a driving device. Different receiving plates 33 can be controlled by different driving devices. One or more driving devices can be controlled to pick up materials according to the actual material feeding and assembly rate, thereby adapting to more material feeding scenarios.

[0056] By setting up multiple hoppers 21 for simultaneous material supply and multiple receiving parts 331 for simultaneous material receiving and retrieval, the material retrieval efficiency is greatly improved. In each reciprocating motion driven by the drive device, multiple magnetic materials can be retrieved, resulting in high material retrieval efficiency.

[0057] Furthermore, after the material taking part 31 takes material, when the material receiving part 331 moves away from the discharge port longitudinally, if the material receiving part 331 is completely offset from the discharge port, the material taking part 31 can reach the loading station. In this case, the magnetic material in the hopper 21 will fall from the discharge port into the material taking channel 23a due to gravity, instead of falling onto the material receiving part 331. In order to ensure that when the material receiving part 331 is in the loading position, the multiple magnetic materials in the hopper 21 can still be kept in the material channel, and when the material taking position, the picking part 41 can take material, in this embodiment, the feeding assembly 2 also includes a sealing part 25 disposed on one side of the discharge port. The sealing part 25 can be disposed laterally close to and away from the discharge port. The sealing part 25 has an open position for opening the discharge port and a closed position for closing the discharge port during its active stroke. Thus, when the receiving part 331 is in the feeding position, the sealing part 25 moves laterally to seal the discharge port, allowing multiple magnetic materials to be confined within the material channel. When the receiving part 331 is in the picking position, the sealing part 25 opens, facilitating the picking part 31 to pick up the material.

[0058] Furthermore, to simplify the structure of the material taking part 31, the material taking part 31 can be configured as a separation groove, which can be configured as a contour groove. The contour groove has the same shape as the magnetic material and can just accommodate the magnetic material. The depth of the contour groove is the same as the height of the magnetic material. When the receiving part 331 moves to the material taking position, the separation groove corresponds to the discharge port. The magnet in the material channel enters the separation groove under the action of gravity. When the receiving part 331 moves to the feeding position, the separation groove separates from the material channel and reaches the feeding station, thereby separating the magnetic material from the magnetic material in the material channel, avoiding the problem of laborious manual separation of magnets when the magnet volume is small.

[0059] Since there are various ways to drive the sealing part 25 to switch between the open position and the closed position, such as by setting a driving device such as a cylinder to drive the sealing part 25 to move, in order to make the structure simpler, in this embodiment, the feeding assembly 2 further includes an elastic member disposed in the feeding channel 23a. The elastic member is disposed on the side of the sealing part 25 away from the receiving part 331, and is used to provide a restoring force when the sealing part 25 moves toward the closed position. Thus, when the receiving part 331 is in the feeding position, the elastic element is not deformed in the longitudinal direction and is in an elongated state. At this time, the sealing part 25 is aligned with the discharge port, sealing the lower end of the material channel. When the receiving part 331 moves towards the picking position, each of the support arms of the receiving part 331 abuts against the sealing part 25, and the elastic element is compressed, which drives the sealing part 25 to move laterally and open the discharge port. Until the picking part 41 is aligned with the discharge port to pick up the material, when the receiving part 331 moves towards the feeding position, the elastic element restores its deformation and automatically switches the sealing part 25 to the closed position.

[0060] With this configuration, the sealing part 25 is driven by the elastic element to open and close the feeding port. After the receiving part 331 is pulled out of the feeding channel 23a, it can have a more free movement. When the feeding station is far away or when there is a vertical feeding process, it is not restricted and facilitates subsequent assembly.

[0061] It is understandable that, in order to facilitate material retrieval by the material retrieval unit 31, the magnet 222 of the foolproof structure 22 can be located at the bottom of the mounting part 23 or on the bottom wall of the material retrieval channel 23a. This allows for good cooperation with the receiving part 331. When the magnetic poles of the magnetic material in the material channel are correctly oriented, the support arm extends into the material retrieval channel 23a, and the magnet 222 attracts the magnetic material in the hopper 21, causing it to fall into the separation groove on the support arm. When the magnetic poles of the magnetic material in the material channel are incorrectly oriented, the support arm extends into the material retrieval channel 23a, and the magnet 222 repels the magnetic material in the hopper 21, causing it to fall into the separation groove on the support arm. The separation groove remains empty and cannot be retrieved.

[0062] Specifically, in this embodiment, the picking unit 41 includes a magnetic suction nozzle 411 that is elastically arranged, that is, an elastic buffer is provided at the upper end of the magnetic suction nozzle 411 to reduce the impact force of the magnetic suction nozzle 411 on the magnetic material during the picking or assembly process.

[0063] Specifically, the picking unit 41 includes a plurality of magnetic nozzles 411, which are spaced apart laterally. In this way, the plurality of magnetic nozzles 411 can pick up materials and assemble simultaneously, improving the efficiency of material picking and assembly.

[0064] Specifically, in this embodiment, the loading station and the assembly station are arranged at intervals in the horizontal direction; the assembly mechanism 4 further includes: a first driving device 3242, disposed on the base 1, having a first driving part that moves horizontally; a second driving device 43 is fixedly installed on the first driving part, the second driving device 43 having a second driving part that is movably disposed in the vertical direction, the second driving part being fixedly connected to the pickup part 41 to drive the pickup part 41 to move vertically. The first driving device 3242 can be a linear motor, etc., and the first driving part can be a movable slider of a linear motor, thus the structure is simple, compact, and highly stable. The second driving device 43 can be a cylinder, and the second driving part is the cylinder rod of the cylinder.

[0065] Furthermore, to improve the assembly accuracy of the assembly mechanism 4, in this embodiment, the assembly equipment 100 further includes a position measuring device 5. The position measuring device 5 is used to measure the position of the magnetic material at the assembly station and the position of the product at the assembly station. The control device is electrically connected to the position measuring device 5 and the first drive device 3242 and the second drive device 43, and is used to control the operation of the first drive device 3242 and the second drive device 43 according to the position measuring device 5. Thus, by measuring the position of the magnetic material at the assembly station and the position of the product at the assembly station, the coordinates between the magnetic material and the product in the X, Y, and Z directions can be calculated, thereby determining the displacement required for the pickup unit 41 to pick up the product.

[0066] Specifically, the position measuring device 5 includes a first image acquisition system 51, which is used to acquire images of the product at the assembly station; and / or, the position measuring device 5 includes a second image acquisition system 52, which is used to acquire images of the magnetic material at the assembly station. Thus, the first image acquisition system 51 acquires an image of the magnetic material picked up by the pickup unit 41 at the assembly station, and the second image acquisition system 52 acquires an image of the product at the assembly station. The displacement of the pickup unit 41 is obtained using the position coordinates of the two images. The control device controls the movement of the pickup unit 41 based on this displacement, ensuring assembly accuracy.

[0067] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the inspection station and the assembly station are arranged longitudinally at intervals; the assembly equipment 100 also includes a conveying component 8 and a fixed fixture 81 for carrying products. The conveying component 8 has a conveying section that is movably arranged longitudinally. The conveying section can reach the assembly station and the inspection station during its travel, and is used to sequentially deliver the fixed fixture 81 to the assembly station and the inspection station. With this arrangement, product assembly and inspection of assembled products can be realized during the travel of the fixed fixture 81 along the assembly line, resulting in a compact and reasonable structure.

[0068] Specifically, in this embodiment, the inspection station includes a first inspection station and a second inspection station arranged longitudinally at intervals; the inspection mechanism 6 includes a magnetic pole detection device 61 and a height detection device 62. The magnetic pole detection device 61 is set at the first inspection station and is used to detect the magnetic poles of the magnetic materials assembled on the product. The height detection device 62 is set at the second inspection station and is used to detect the height of the magnetic materials assembled on the product. With this arrangement, the product fixed by the fixing fixture 81 can be sequentially delivered to the first inspection station and the second inspection station by the conveying component 8, resulting in high efficiency of the inspection process and an orderly and compact arrangement of the stations.

[0069] Furthermore, by setting up the magnetic pole detection device 61, it is possible to detect in a timely manner whether the magnetic poles of the assembled magnetic material are reversed. The height detection device 62 can monitor the height of the assembled product. When the total height of the product is detected to be greater than the total height of the standard product, it indicates that the magnetic material is not installed in place and does not meet the assembly requirements.

[0070] Specifically, in this embodiment, the magnetic pole detection device 61 includes a Hall sensor 221. Utilizing the Hall sensor 221's ability to measure magnetic pole direction, when the Hall sensor 221 detects that the magnetic pole of the magnetic material assembled on the product is opposite to a predetermined magnetic pole, the Hall sensor 221 detects an anomaly and sends a detection signal. It is understood that the detection mechanism 6 also includes a control device and an alert device. The control device is electrically connected to the alert device and the Hall sensor 221. The alert device can be an audible device or an alarm light, etc. When the Hall sensor 221 detects a magnetic pole anomaly, the control device, upon receiving the detection signal, controls the alert device to operate, facilitating timely adjustment of the product assembled with the magnetic material or its disposal as waste.

[0071] Furthermore, in this embodiment, multiple Hall sensors 221 are provided, spaced apart, and each Hall sensor 221 is used to detect the magnetic pole of a corresponding magnetic material. Thus, when multiple products are placed on the fixture 81, the multiple Hall sensors 221 can simultaneously detect the magnetic material on multiple products, resulting in high detection efficiency.

[0072] Specifically, the height detection device 62 includes a laser sensor. A laser sensor is a sensor that uses laser technology for measurement. It consists of a laser, a laser detector, and a measurement circuit. Thus, by using a laser sensor, non-contact, long-distance measurement can be achieved, offering high speed, high accuracy, a large measuring range, and strong resistance to light and electrical interference.

[0073] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the waste discharge station and the second detection station are arranged laterally at intervals. The waste discharge mechanism 7 also includes a third drive device 71 and a gripper 72. The third drive device 71 is disposed on the base 1 and has a third drive part that is movably arranged laterally. The third drive part is connected to the height detection device 62. The gripper 72 is used to pick up products. The gripper 72 is fixed to the third drive part and is arranged laterally at intervals from the height detection device 62 so that it is driven by the third drive part to move synchronously with the height detection device 62 laterally. The gripper 72 is used to transport unqualified products to the waste discharge station during its movement stroke. In this way, when the height detection device 62 detects unqualified products, the gripper 72 can be controlled by the control device to pick up the products in a timely manner, resulting in high waste discharge efficiency.

[0074] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structural transformations made using the contents of the present invention's specification and drawings under the inventive concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
