[0047] The battery compartment assembly of consumer electronic products must be equipped with a negative spring and a spring cap. The negative spring has a large elastic coefficient, the assembly space of the battery compartment assembly is small, and the spring is generally irregular in shape, making assembly difficult. Most of the work in the industry is done manually, resulting in low assembly efficiency.

[0048] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides an assembly device. Figure 1 A three-dimensional schematic diagram of an embodiment of an assembly device provided by the present invention; Figure 2 for Figure 1 A three-dimensional schematic diagram of the feeding mechanism and the first assembly mechanism; Figure 3 for Figure 2 A in the middle is an enlarged schematic diagram; Figure 4 for Figure 1 A three-dimensional schematic diagram of the picking device and position measuring device in FIG.

[0049] See also Figures 1 to 3The assembly equipment includes a machine base 1, a loading mechanism 2, a feeding mechanism 3, a first assembly mechanism 4 and a second assembly mechanism 5. The machine base 1 is provided with a loading station, a first assembly station and a second assembly station; the loading mechanism 2 includes a picking portion 21 for picking up a spring, the picking portion 21 is movably arranged and has a movable stroke between the loading station and the assembly station, and the picking portion 21 is used to transport the spring at the loading station to the first assembly station; the feeding mechanism 3 is used to provide a mounting cap to the first assembly station; the first group The assembly mechanism 4 is arranged corresponding to the first assembly station, and the first assembly mechanism 4 is used to install the spring at the first assembly station into the installation groove of the installation cap to form a spring cap; the second assembly mechanism 5 includes a picking device 51 for picking up the spring cap, and the picking device 51 is movably arranged and has a movable stroke between the first assembly station and the second assembly station. The picking device 51 is used to transport the spring cap at the first assembly station to the second assembly station, and assemble the spring cap with the product body at the second assembly station.

[0050] In the technical solution provided by the present invention, the spring at the loading station is picked up by the material picking part 21 and placed at the first assembly station. The feeding mechanism 3 provides the mounting cap to the first assembly station. The first assembly mechanism 4 squeezes the spring at the first assembly station into the mounting groove of the mounting cap to form a spring cap. The picking device 51 transports the spring cap to the second assembly station and assembles it with the product body at the second assembly station to provide an assembly equipment that can install special-shaped springs and spring caps with the product body and has a high degree of automation.

[0051] It should be noted that the mounting cap is configured as a cylindrical body with a flange, and a mounting groove is recessed at the end of one end where the flange is located. The spring has a first end and a second end that are arranged opposite each other. The first end of the spring is a spring coil, and the second end of the spring is a non-circular, irregularly wound spring with a negative electrode needle extending axially from the second end of the spring toward the first end of the spring. The product body is provided with a receiving groove, and a mounting hole is provided on the side wall of the receiving groove. After the spring cap is installed as a whole in the receiving groove, the end of the spring cap without the flange is accommodated in the mounting hole and is limited by the flange abutting against the inner wall surface of the receiving groove. The second end of the spring abuts against the side wall surface of the receiving groove that is opposite to the mounting hole.

[0052] Specifically, in this embodiment, the feeding mechanism 3 includes a feeding device 31 and an adjustment assembly 32. The adjustment assembly 32 is used to pick up the mounting cap provided by the feeding device 31, adjust the mounting cap to a first preset posture, and then place it in the first assembly station. The feeding device 31 provides mounting caps in various postures, but the posture of the mounting cap does not conform to the first preset posture required for assembly. Therefore, by providing the adjustment assembly 32, the mounting cap is adjusted to the first preset posture that is preset to facilitate assembly, and then placed in the first assembly station to facilitate subsequent assembly with the spring.

[0053] Specifically, in this embodiment, the feeding device 31 includes a vibration plate 311 and a receiving portion 312. The vibration plate 311 is used to carry the mounting caps. The vibration plate 311 can be set to vibrate to adjust the mounting caps to a second preset posture. The vibration plate 311 is provided with a discharge port. The top of the receiving portion 312 is provided with a receiving trough. The receiving trough is provided corresponding to the discharge port and is used to receive the mounting caps output from the discharge port. By providing the vibration plate 311, the accumulated mounting caps are vibrated so that the mounting caps can be broken up and finally adjusted to the second preset posture. In the second preset state, the mounting caps are provided with one end of the flange facing downward. The receiving trough is provided in correspondence with the discharge port. When the vibration plate 311 vibrates, the mounting caps are sequentially extruded from the discharge port and sequentially transported into the receiving trough, and the second preset posture is always maintained.

[0054] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the vibration plate 311 and the material receiving portion 312 are arranged side by side with an interval in the transverse direction; it can be understood that the side of the material receiving trough close to the material discharge port passes through the material receiving portion 312, so that when the material receiving trough is aligned with the material discharge port, the mounting cap can be translated and input into the material receiving trough, so that the mounting cap can also maintain the second preset posture.

[0055] It should be noted that, since the discharge speed of the vibration plate 311 is relatively fast, and the subsequent assembly process takes a long time, in order to make better use of time and improve the material collection and assembly efficiency, in this embodiment, a plurality of material receiving troughs are provided, and the plurality of material receiving troughs are spaced apart in the longitudinal direction, and the material receiving portion 312 is movable along the longitudinal direction. With such a configuration, when the material receiving portion 312 moves along the longitudinal direction, the material receiving troughs on the material receiving portion 312 are aligned and connected with the discharge port one by one, and when each of the material receiving troughs is aligned with the discharge port, a mounting cap is output to the corresponding material receiving trough in the second preset posture, and during the entire longitudinal movement of the material receiving portion 312, each of the material receiving troughs receives and accommodates a mounting cap. With such a configuration, the efficiency of material collection can be improved.

[0056] Specifically, in order to facilitate the assembly of the spring and the mounting cap, the mounting cap needs to be adjusted to the first horizontal preset posture. In the first preset posture, the axial direction of the mounting cap is along the horizontal direction, and the notch of the mounting slot of the mounting cap needs to face the spring. However, on the receiving portion 312, the mounting cap is in the second preset posture, so the mounting cap needs to be further adjusted to the required posture. In this embodiment, the adjustment component 32 includes a mounting seat and an adjustment portion 321, and the mounting seat is fixedly mounted on the machine base 1; the adjustment portion 321 is used to pick up the mounting cap, and the adjustment portion 321 is rotatably mounted on the mounting seat. In this way, as needed, the adjustment portion 321 is controlled to flip 90°, so that the mounting cap picked up by the adjustment portion 321 is flipped and adjusted to the first preset posture, and placed at the first assembly station, so that the mounting cap meets the assembly posture requirements.

[0057] It should be noted that the end of the adjusting portion 321 is provided with a suction nozzle, which is connected to the negative pressure device. The adjusting portion 321 picks up the mounting cap by negative pressure suction. Of course, the method of picking up the mounting cap by the adjusting portion 321 is not limited to the above-mentioned negative pressure suction method, and can also be clamping, clamping, or magnetic suction, etc., which is not limited in the present invention.

[0058] Specifically, in this embodiment, the squeezing mechanism 41 includes two squeezing portions, which are spaced apart in the transverse direction and are respectively provided on either side of the mounting cap and the spring. The two squeezing portions can move relatively close to and away from each other in the transverse direction, and are used to squeeze the spring into the mounting groove of the mounting cap during the movement of approaching each other. It is understood that the two squeezing portions can be both movable, or one of the squeezing portions can move toward the other to squeeze.

[0059] Specifically, when the two extrusion parts are relatively close to each other, the spring will be subjected to axial force and deformed. However, when the spring is of a special shape, the force acting on the spring is not stable along its axial direction. Therefore, the spring may not be installed in the preset horizontal direction during compression, and there is a possibility of flying away. In this embodiment, one of the extrusion parts includes a positioning rod 411, and the other extrusion part includes a slider 412; the positioning rod 411 extends in the horizontal direction and is movable in the horizontal direction. During its horizontal movable travel, the spring is arranged around the periphery of the positioning rod 411. In this way, the positioning rod 411 exerts a radial constraint on the spring, so that the spring can only be compressed in the preset direction during compression. The slider 412 is slidably arranged in the horizontal direction. During its horizontal sliding travel, it is used to abut the mounting cap. By setting the slider 412 to abut the mounting cap and move in the horizontal direction, the mounting cap also has a travel toward the spring, so that the spring is finally squeezed into the mounting groove of the mounting cap. In this way, the spring is positioned by the positioning rod 411 and the assembly is supported by the slider 412, thereby improving assembly quality and efficiency.

[0060] Furthermore, to prevent the spring and mounting cap from rolling in the longitudinal direction when moving laterally, in this embodiment, the first assembly mechanism 4 also includes a bearing portion 42 for supporting the spring and mounting cap. The top of the bearing portion 42 is recessed with a contoured groove extending laterally. The contoured groove includes a first groove section 42a and a second groove section 42b that are connected in the laterally arranged manner. The first groove section 42a is for accommodating the spring, and the second groove section 42b is for accommodating the mounting cap. In this way, the first groove section 42a is adapted to the spring, and the second groove section 42b is adapted to the mounting cap. Through the first groove section 42a and the second groove section 42b, the mounting cap and the spring can be positioned relative to their respective circumferential sides, improving installation accuracy and preventing the spring from having difficulty aligning with the mounting groove.

[0061] Furthermore, to improve assembly efficiency, in this embodiment, multiple profiling grooves, positioning rods 411, and sliders 412 are provided, with the multiple profiling grooves spaced apart in the longitudinal direction. The extrusion mechanism 41 also includes a first drive device 6, a second drive device, a first connecting portion 43, and a second connecting portion. The first drive device 6 is fixedly mounted on the base 1 and includes a first drive portion movable in the transverse direction. The first connecting portion 43 is fixedly connected to the first drive portion so as to be driven by the first drive portion to move transversely. The first connecting portion 43 is longitudinally spaced apart and includes multiple positioning rods 411. Thus, the first drive device 6 can simultaneously drive multiple positioning rods 411 to move transversely. The second drive device is fixedly mounted on the base 1 and includes a second drive portion movable in the transverse direction. The second connecting portion is fixedly connected to the second drive portion so as to be driven by the second drive portion to move transversely. The second connecting portion is longitudinally spaced apart and includes multiple sliders 412. Thus, the second drive device can simultaneously drive multiple sliders 412 to move transversely. One of the positioning rods 411 and one of the sliders 412 correspondingly squeezes one mounting cap and one spring. Thus, by providing only two driving devices, the assembly of multiple pairs of mounting caps and springs can be achieved, thereby improving the efficiency of the extrusion assembly.

[0062] Specifically, in this embodiment, the loading station, the first assembly station and the second assembly station are spaced apart in the longitudinal direction; the assembly equipment also includes a first drive device 6, a second drive device and a third drive device, the first drive device 6 is installed on the machine base 1, and the first drive device 6 has a first drive part and a second drive part that are both movably arranged along the longitudinal direction; the second drive device is fixedly installed on the first drive part, and the second drive device has a third drive part that is movably arranged in the up and down directions, and the third drive part is fixedly connected to the material picking part 21 for driving the material picking part 21 to move up and down; the third drive device is fixedly installed on the third drive part, and the third drive device has a fourth drive part that is movably arranged in the up and down directions, and the fourth drive part is fixedly connected to the picking device 51 for driving the picking device 51 to move up and down.

[0063] In this way, by setting up the first driving device 6, the two driving parts can respectively drive the material picking part 21 and the picking device 51 to move, and the double-motor driving structure is adopted to make the assembly equipment compact. The second driving device is set to realize the up and down movement of the material picking part 21 to pick up materials, and the third driving device is set to realize the up and down movement of the picking device 51 to realize material picking and assembly.

[0064] The present invention does not limit the specific structure of the driving device, which may be a cam drive, a connecting rod drive, a screw structure, etc., and will not be described in detail here.

[0065] Specifically, see Figure 4 In this embodiment, the picking device 51 includes a base body 511, a clamping jaw 512, a fourth driving device 513 and a guide rod 514. The base body 511 is fixedly connected to the fourth driving part so as to be driven by the fourth driving part to move in the up and down directions; the clamping jaw 512 is installed on the base body 511 for clamping the spring cap; the fourth driving device 513 is installed on the base body 511, and the fourth driving device 513 has a fifth driving part that can be movably arranged in the up and down directions; the guide rod 514 is fixedly connected to the fifth driving part so as to be driven by the fifth driving part to move in the up and down directions. The guide rod 514 is used to push the spring cap into the accommodating groove of the product body during the downward movement. The spring cap is arranged in this way, and the clamping jaws 512 clamp the spring cap laterally so that the mounting cap and the flange are arranged opposite to each other, and the second end of the spring is clamped by the clamping jaws 512. It can be understood that before the spring cap is clamped by the clamping jaws 512 and assembled with the product body, the spring is clamped by the clamping jaws 512 and is in a compressed state. The length of the spring cap is smaller than the notch width of the accommodating groove on the product body. When the clamping jaws 512 align the spring cap with the accommodating groove, the guide rod 514 moves downward, and the spring cap as a whole can be pushed into the accommodating groove. As the guide rod 514 pushes, the end of the mounting cap of the spring cap is aligned with the mounting hole on the side wall of the accommodating groove, and the spring recovers part of its deformation, thereby pushing the end of the mounting cap into the mounting hole, so that the flange of the mounting cap abuts against the inner wall surface of the accommodating groove, and the second end of the spring abuts against the side wall surface of the accommodating groove and the mounting hole, thereby completing the assembly.

[0066] Furthermore, in order to enable the pickup device 51 to accurately assemble and position, in this embodiment, the assembly equipment further includes a position measuring device 7 and a control device. The position measuring device 7 is used to measure the position of the spring cap sent to the second assembly station by the pickup device 51, as well as the position of the product body at the second assembly station. The control device is electrically connected to the position measuring device 7, the first drive device 6, the third drive device, and the fourth drive device 513, and is used to control the operation of the first drive device 6, the third drive device, and the fourth drive device 513 according to the position measuring device 7. Specifically, the position measuring device 7 includes a first image acquisition system and a second image acquisition system. The first image acquisition system is used to capture an image of the spring cap picked up by the pickup device 51 at the second assembly station, and the second image acquisition system is used to capture an image of the product body at the assembly station, thereby determining the position of the receiving groove on the product body. The position coordinates of the two images are used to obtain the displacement of the pickup device 51. The control device controls the movement of the pickup device 51 based on the displacement to ensure assembly accuracy.

[0067] The assembly process of the assembly equipment is as follows:

[0068] First, a plurality of mounting caps are placed on the vibration plate 311, and the vibration plate 311 vibrates during operation to adjust the mounting caps to the second preset posture. The material receiving portion 312 moves longitudinally and is in a state of waiting for material to be taken. After the mounting caps in the vibration plate 311 are adjusted to the second preset posture in turn, they are discharged in turn from the discharge port and transported toward the material receiving portion 312 located on the side. When the material receiving portion 312 moves longitudinally, when the material receiving trough and the material discharge port are aligned, the mounting caps are transferred into the material receiving trough in turn. After the material receiving portion 312 completes the material taking, the regulating portion 321 picks up the mounting caps in the second preset posture by negative pressure adsorption, and proceeds The row is flipped so that the mounting cap is adjusted to the first preset posture, and the mounting cap is placed in the second groove section 42b; at the same time, the material picking part 21 picks up the spring that meets the installation posture from the loading station, and places the spring in the first groove section 42a. At this time, the first driving device 6 and the second driving device are driven to work, so that the positioning rod 411 and the slider 412 move close to each other. When the positioning rod 411 moves, the spring is gradually sleeved on the periphery of the positioning rod 411, and the slider 412 pushes the mounting cap toward the spring until the first end of the spring is completely compressed and installed in the mounting groove of the mounting cap, thereby realizing the assembly of the spring cap.

[0069] After the spring cap is assembled, the clamp 512 clamps the spring cap at the first assembly station and transports it to the second assembly station. The position measuring device 7 measures the position of the spring cap sent to the second assembly station by the picking device 51 and the position of the product body at the second assembly station. The spring cap is sent to the notch of the accommodating groove based on the position measurement value. After the clamp 512 aligns the spring cap with the accommodating groove, the guide rod 514 moves downward to push the entire spring cap into the accommodating groove. As the guide rod 514 pushes, the end of the mounting cap of the spring cap is aligned with the mounting hole on the side wall of the accommodating groove, so that the end of the mounting cap is installed in the mounting hole, and the second end of the spring is against the side wall surface of the accommodating groove and the mounting hole, and the negative electrode needle extends outward from the notch of the accommodating groove, thereby completing the assembly.

[0070] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention.
