When a component is said to be "set on" another component, it can be directly set on the other component or it may be set to a component in between.

[0045] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of the application. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0046] like Figures 1 to 8As shown, this application provides a rotary cylinder mounting device 60 for a toy gun assembly machine. The toy gun 102 includes a gun head 1022 and a rotary cylinder 1023. The gun head 1022 has a receiving groove 1024, and the rotary cylinder 1023 can be located in the receiving groove 1024 and is rotatably connected to the gun head 1022. The rotary cylinder mounting device 60 includes a mounting base 61, a movable base 62, a gripper 63, and a first driving member 64. The movable base 62 is movably mounted on the mounting base 61; the gripper 63 is rotatably mounted on the movable base 62 and is used to grip the rotary cylinder 1023 and assemble the rotary cylinder 1023 into the receiving groove 1024; the first driving member 64 is mounted on the mounting base 61 and is used to drive the movable base 62 to move in a first direction and can synchronously drive the gripper 63 to rotate. The gripper 63 grasps the side wall of the rotating wheel 1023, and then, driven by the movable seat 62, the gripper 63 installs the rotating wheel 1023 into the receiving groove 1024 of the gun head 1022. When the movable seat 62 moves the gripper 63 along a first direction, it simultaneously rotates the gripper 63 by a certain angle to facilitate the installation of the rotating wheel 1023 into the receiving groove 1024. The first direction can be horizontal; for example, the first direction is... Figure 7 In the x direction. Specifically, the rotating wheel 1023 is placed at the conveyor line 66, and the axis of the rotating wheel 1023 is set vertically. The gripper 63 grips the side wall of the rotating wheel 1023. The first driving member 64 drives the moving seat 62 and drives the gripper 63 to move in the horizontal direction, while simultaneously driving the gripper 63 to rotate 90 degrees.

[0047] In this embodiment, as Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the structure of the mounting base 61 and the movable base 62 is not strictly limited; they can be block structures, frame structures, or rod structures, as long as they can provide support. The gripper 63 can be a pneumatic gripper; pneumatic grippers are existing technology and will not be further elaborated here. The first driving component 64 is mainly for driving the gripper 63 to move. To achieve its basic function, a motor, cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, or even a manually driven component can be selected from existing technologies. When the motion mode directly output by the first driving component 64 is inconsistent with the motion mode of the gripper 63, an appropriate transmission component can be used to convert and transmit the motion mode. In this embodiment, the first driving component 64 is a cylinder, which includes a cylinder body and a piston rod. The piston rod can reciprocate along the cylinder body; the cylinder body is fixed to the mounting base 61 by bolts or welding; the piston rod is fixed to the movable base 62 by bolts or welding.

[0048] In this embodiment, as Figures 1 to 8As shown, the rotary mounting device 60 also includes a rotating shaft 631 and a drive unit 632. The rotating shaft 631 is connected to the gripper 63 and is rotatably mounted on the movable seat 62. The drive unit 632 is connected to the rotating shaft 631 and cooperates with the mounting seat 61. The drive unit 632 can drive the rotating shaft 631 to rotate. The rotating shaft 631 drives the gripper 63 to rotate. The mounting seat 61 is provided with a slide groove 611. At least a portion of the drive unit 632 is located in the slide groove 611 and can move along the slide groove 611. The first drive member 64 drives the movable seat 62 to move in a first direction, while the drive unit 632 moves along the slide groove 611. The slide groove 611 restricts the movement path of the drive unit 632. The change in the path of the slide groove 611 can cause the drive unit 632 to drive the rotating shaft 631 to rotate. The movable seat 62 has a shaft hole, and the rotating shaft 631 is fitted with the shaft hole and can rotate with the movable seat 62.

[0049] In this embodiment, as Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the drive unit 632 is rod-shaped with a circular cross-section. The radial sidewalls of the drive unit 632 contact the corresponding inner walls of the slide groove 611 to make the movement of the drive unit 632 more stable. The drive unit 632 has an axis in space, which is parallel to and offset from the axis of the rotating shaft 631. When the movement path of the drive unit 632 changes along the first direction, the movement path of the rotating shaft 631 does not change, so as to make the operation of the wheel mounting device 60 more stable. The wheel mounting device 60 also includes a connecting arm 67. One end of the rotating shaft 631 is connected to the connecting arm 67, and the other end is connected to the gripper 63. One end of the drive unit 632 is connected to the connecting arm 67, and the other end engages with the slide groove 611. The drive unit 632 drives the rotating shaft 631 to rotate through the connecting arm 67. The connecting arm 67 has a length direction, and along the length direction of the connecting arm 67, the connection position between the rotating shaft 631 and the connecting arm 67 is spaced apart from the connection position between the driving part 632 and the connecting arm 67.

[0050] In this embodiment, as Figures 1 to 8As shown, the rotary mounting device 60 also includes a guide assembly 68, which restricts the movement path of the movable seat 62. The guide assembly 68 is a guide rail arranged in a predetermined direction. There are no strict limitations on the shape and structure of the guide rail; it can be a groove or ridge with a surface arranged in the predetermined direction, a guide rod, or other components with an outer surface arranged in the predetermined direction, such as a baffle. To accommodate the guide structure, the movable seat 62 has a sliding seat corresponding to the shape of the guide structure. For example, when the guide structure is a guide rod, the corresponding sliding seat can be a sliding sleeve fitted onto the guide rod; when the guide structure is a strip groove, the corresponding sliding seat can be a support block or support strip embedded in the strip groove. In this embodiment, the guide assembly 68 includes a guide rail 681 and a slider 682. The guide rail 681 is mounted on the mounting base 61, and the slider 682 is mounted on the movable seat 62. The slider 682 cooperates with the guide rail 681, and the slider 682 can slide back and forth along the guide rail 681. The extension path of the guide rail 681 is parallel to the first direction. The guide rail 681 is installed on the mounting base 61 by welding or bolting. The slider 682 is installed on the movable base 62 by bolting or welding.

[0051] In this embodiment, as Figures 3 to 8 As shown, the slide 611 includes a first section 612, a second section 613, and a transition section 614. The extension path of the first section 612 is parallel to the first direction; the extension path of the second section 613 is at an angle to the extension path of the first section 612; the transition section 614 is located between the first section 612 and the second section 613, and the extension path of the transition section 614 is an arc-shaped segment, which allows the first section 612 and the second section 613 to connect smoothly. When the drive unit 632 moves along the first section 612, the gripper 63 moves along the first direction; when the drive unit 632 moves from the first section 612 to the second section 613, the gripper 63 rotates at a certain angle; of course, the drive unit 632 can also move from the second section 613 to the first section 612, in which case the gripper 63 rotates at a certain angle. The transition section 614 facilitates the drive unit 632's entry from the first section 612 into the second section 613, or facilitates the drive unit 632's entry from the second section 613 into the first section 612. The extension path of the first section 612 is perpendicular to the extension path of the second section 613; when the drive unit 632 switches between the first section 612 and the second section 613, the gripper 63 rotates 90 degrees.

[0052] In this embodiment, as Figures 3 to 8As shown, the slide groove 611 also includes a third section 615, which is connected to the first section 612. The extension path of the third section 615 is the same as that of the first section 612. Along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 631, the depth of the third section 615 is lower than the depth of the second section 613, the depth of the transition section 614, and the depth of the first section 612. The length of a portion of the rotating shaft 631 in the slide groove 611 is less than or equal to the depth of the third section 615. The length of the driving part 632 in the slide groove 611 is greater than the depth of the third section 615. This ensures that the rotating shaft 631 can slide along the first section 612 and the third section 615, and that the driving part 632 can slide along the first section 612, the transition section 614, and the third section 615. The rotating shaft 631 can move along the slide groove 611; the first section 612 and the third section 615 of the slide groove 611 can limit the direction of movement of the rotating shaft 631, and the setting of the third section 615 in the slide groove 611 can make the movement of the moving seat 62 along the first direction more stable.

[0053] During the machining of the gun head 1022, machining errors may occur, resulting in a small opening in the receiving groove 1024, making it inconvenient for the rotating shaft 631 to enter through the opening of the receiving groove 1024. To solve this technical problem, referring to one embodiment, such as... Figures 3 to 8 As shown, the rotary wheel mounting device 60 also includes a gun expander 65, which is mounted on the movable base 62. The gun expander 65 can extend into the receiving groove 1024 and enlarge the space of the receiving groove 1024 to facilitate the entry of the rotary wheel 1023 into the receiving groove 1024. Enlarging the space of the receiving groove 1024 mainly involves enlarging the space of the groove opening. The gun expander 65 is rod-shaped and has a length direction in space. One end of the gun expander 65 along its length is connected to the movable base 62, and the other end can extend into the receiving groove 1024. The gun expander 65 has a first wall 651, which can contact the wall of the receiving groove 1024. The first wall 651 is set at an angle to the first direction. The first wall 651 is flat or curved to avoid damaging the gun head 1022. Along the first direction, the end of the expander 65 facing the receiving groove 1024 is closer to the receiving groove 1024 than the end of the gripper 63 facing the receiving groove 1024, so as to ensure that the expander 65 enters the receiving groove 1024 before the rotating wheel 1023 gripped by the gripper 63.

[0054] like Figures 1 to 8As shown, this application also provides an automatic assembly machine 100 for a toy gun 102, including a body 101, a conveyor line 66, a tooling 103, and a rotating wheel mounting device 60. The conveyor line 66 is installed on the body 101 and is used to convey the rotating wheel 1023. The tooling 103 is installed on the body 101 and is used to carry the gun head 1022. The rotating wheel mounting device 60 adopts the rotating wheel mounting device 60 in various embodiments. The mounting base 61 is installed on the body 101, and the gripper 63 is used to grasp the rotating wheel 1023 of the conveyor line 66 and place the rotating wheel 1023 in the receiving groove 1024 of the gun head 1022. The tooling 103 carries the gun head 1022; the conveyor line 66 conveys the rotating wheel 1023; the gripper 63 grasps the rotating wheel 1023 at the conveyor line 66 and drives the rotating wheel 1023 to rotate 90 degrees and then move until the gripper 63 places the grasped rotating wheel 1023 into the receiving groove 1024 of the gun head 1022, which helps to improve the assembly efficiency of the toy gun 102. The tooling 103 adopts existing technology, as long as the tooling 103 can fix the gun head 1022; the conveyor line 66 adopts existing technology, as long as the conveyor line 66 can convey the rotating wheel 1023; for example, the conveyor line 66 can be a vibratory feeder, etc. The automatic assembly machine 100 also includes a second drive component 69, which is mounted on the machine body 10 and can drive the mounting base 61 to move towards or away from the conveyor line 66, so as to facilitate the gripper 63 to grasp the rotating wheel 1023 of the conveyor line 66. The second driving component 69 is mainly used to drive the mounting base 61 to move. To achieve its basic function, a motor, cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, or even a manually driven component can be selected from the existing technology. When the movement mode directly output by the second driving component 69 is inconsistent with the movement mode of the mounting base 61, an appropriate transmission component can be used to change and transmit the movement mode. In this embodiment, the second driving component 69 is a cylinder.

[0055] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as the combination of these technical features does not contradict each other, it should be considered to be within the scope of this specification. When technical features of different embodiments are embodied in the same drawing, it can be regarded as the drawing also disclosing examples of combinations of the various embodiments involved.

[0056] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and their descriptions are quite specific and detailed. However, 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 modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this application.
