Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of switch button assembly production, and particularly relates to a switch button assembly device and method. Background Art

[0002] A switch button is generally assembled by a button, a spring and a slide rod in a specific positional relationship. At present, the switch button is generally assembled manually with the assistance of a positioning fixture. Manual assembly of the switch button has problems such as high work intensity of operators and low production efficiency.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a fully automatic switch button assembly device to improve production efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present application provides a switch button assembly device and method, which can reduce the work intensity of operators and improve production efficiency.

[0005] In a first aspect, a switch button assembly device adopts the following technical solution: A switch button assembly device includes an assembly mechanism, which includes a button installation component, a spring installation component and a slide rod installation component; and

[0006] a feeding mechanism, and the feeding mechanism includes:

[0007] a button feeding component, which includes a button vibrating disk and a button conveyor connected to the button vibrating disk, and the button conveyor is used to convey the buttons arranged and output by the vibrating disk into the button installation component;

[0008] a spring feeding component, which includes a spring vibrating disk and a spring conveyor connected to the spring vibrating disk. An air outlet is provided in the spring vibrating disk. The spring conveyor is used to convey the springs arranged and output by the spring vibrating disk into the spring installation component. The air volume of the air outlet is set to be sufficient to blow up one spring and export it from the spring vibrating disk, and blow up two springs wound together to a certain height and then fall back to the bottom of the spring vibrating disk again;

[0009] a slide rod feeding component, which includes a slide rod vibrating disk and a slide rod conveyor, and the slide rod conveyor is used to convey the slide rods arranged and output by the slide rod vibrating disk into the slide rod installation component;

[0010] wherein, the assembly mechanism is used to sequentially install the spring and the slide rod on the button.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the assembly mechanism and the feeding mechanism can achieve the automatic assembly of the switch button, with high production efficiency and good product consistency, and can reduce the production cost in the case of continuous growth of labor costs. Due to the spiral structure of the springs, they are easily wound around each other when mixed together. Through the automatic screening of the spring feeding assembly, individual springs can be selected and transported to the assembly station for assembly. Two or more springs wound together will be blown up by the air outlet and fall to the bottom of the spring vibrating disk. If the wound springs are separated into individual springs after falling, they will be blown away from the spring vibrating disk by the air outlet of the spring and transported to the assembly station for assembly through the spring conveyor. Two or more springs that are not separated will be repeatedly blown up and dropped until they are separated into individual springs. Through the automatic screening of the spring feeding assembly, both the splitting of the wound springs and the production efficiency can be ensured, and the labor cost can be reduced.

[0012] Combined with the first aspect, a further solution further includes a machine table and a frame fixed on the machine table. The button mounting assembly is mounted on the machine table, and the spring mounting assembly and the slide bar mounting assembly are slidably mounted on the frame.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the spring mounting assembly and the slide bar mounting assembly can place the spring and the slide bar on the button to achieve automatic assembly.

[0014] Combined with the first aspect, a further solution further includes a fixing plate and a slide rail fixed on the frame. The fixing plate is slidably connected to the slide rail. The spring mounting assembly and the slide bar mounting assembly are fixed on the fixing plate. A spring feeding port, a slide bar feeding port and a mixed discharging port are connected to the fixing plate. The axis of the mixed discharging port is parallel to the sliding direction of the fixing plate. After the spring mounting assembly and the slide bar mounting assembly sequentially place the spring and the slide bar at the upper end of the mixed discharging port, the spring and the slide bar are sequentially placed on the button through the mixed discharging port.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the spring and the slide bar can be respectively placed on the button through the mixed discharging port, with unified discharging, easy control of the assembly position and high assembly accuracy.

[0016] Combined with the first aspect, a further solution is that a pushing member is further fixed on the fixing plate. The pushing member is connected with a pressing rod, and the pressing rod is coaxially arranged with the mixed discharging port. When the spring and the slide bar sequentially enter the mixed discharging port, the pushing member drives the pressing rod to pass through the mixed discharging port to mount the spring and the slide bar on the button.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, after the spring and the sliding rod enter the mixing discharge port, the spring and the sliding rod are installed on the button by pushing with the pressing rod, and the position consistency after installation is good.

[0018] Combined with the first aspect, a further solution is that an upper positioning member and a lower positioning member are fixedly installed on the frame, a limiting member is fixed on the fixing plate, and the limiting member is arranged between the upper positioning member and the lower positioning member to limit the sliding range of the fixing plate.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the movement strokes of the spring installation assembly and the sliding rod installation assembly on the fixing plate can be controlled, ensuring the consistency and reliability of the assembly.

[0020] Combined with the first aspect, a further solution is that the air outlet includes a first air outlet and a second air outlet. The first air outlet is arranged inside the spring vibrating disk and the air outlet direction of the first air outlet faces upward of the spring vibrating disk. The second air outlet is arranged on the side wall of the spring vibrating disk and the air outlet direction of the second air outlet intersects with the air outlet direction of the first air outlet.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the first air outlet is used to blow the spring away from the bottom of the spring vibrating disk, the second air outlet is used to blow a single spring away from the spring vibrating disk, and the springs wound together are blown to the side wall of the spring vibrating disk and fall off, and the springs wound together are separated during the impact vibration.

[0022] Combined with the first aspect, a further solution is that a spring separation chamber is arranged inside the spring vibrating disk. The first air outlet is located at the bottom of the spring separation chamber. The separation chamber is provided with an inlet and an outlet. The inlet is connected to the second air outlet, and the outlet is connected to the spring conveyor. The single spring entering the spring separation chamber is led out of the outlet by the wind power of the first air outlet and the second air outlet.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the spring separation chamber can integrate the wind blown by the first air outlet and the second air outlet in the spring separation chamber. At the same time, the springs vibrated and conveyed by the spring vibrating disk can be concentrated and separated in the spring separation chamber to prevent the springs from being blown around randomly. The inlet and the outlet optimize the air duct, making the air inlet and outlet directions more concentrated, facilitating the separated single springs to be concentrated and quickly separated from the spring vibrating disk, and improving the spring separation efficiency.

[0024] In combination with the first aspect, a further solution is that an air inlet channel is connected between the inlet and the side wall of the spring vibrating bowl. The second air outlet is located in the air inlet channel. A spring feeding plate is provided on the side wall of the spring vibrating bowl. The spring feeding plate is connected to the air inlet channel. The spring feeding plate is used to feed the springs into the air inlet channel and be blown into the spring separation cavity by the wind force of the second air outlet.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the air inlet channel can make the air blown out by the second air outlet more concentrated with less wind force loss. At the same time, the springs vibrated and conveyed by the spring vibrating bowl enter the air inlet channel centrally and are directly brought into the spring separation cavity by the wind of the second air outlet, with high conveying efficiency and the ability to separate the springs with loose winding during the process of being blown into the spring separation cavity, improving the spring separation efficiency.

[0026] In combination with the first aspect, a further solution is that the slide bar vibrating bowl is provided with a discharge chute. The discharge chute is connected to a rotating material distribution plate. Through grooves are axially arranged in an array at the edge of the material distribution plate. The through grooves are stepped to define the entering direction of the slide bars. A support plate is provided below the material distribution plate. The support plate is used to keep the slide bars entering the through grooves within the through grooves before leaving the through grooves.

[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, the conveying directions of the slide bars are consistent, ensuring the accuracy of subsequent assembly. The slide bars entering the material distribution plate in the correct direction rotate with the material distribution plate under the support of the support plate. When the through groove of the material distribution plate with the slide bars rotates above the discharge chute, since there is no support plate between the discharge chute and the material distribution plate, the slide bars fall into the discharge chute and are conveyed into the slide bar conveyor.

[0028] In the second aspect, the present application provides a method for assembling a switch button, including the switch button assembling device described in the first aspect. The method for assembling the switch button includes the following steps:

[0029] Button feeding: The button vibrating bowl arranges the buttons in sequence and conveys them into the button installation assembly through the button conveyor;

[0030] Button entering the station: The button installation assembly pushes the button to the installation station;

[0031] Spring feeding: The spring vibrating bowl feeds the springs into the air inlet channel through the spring feeding plate. The wind force at the second air outlet blows the springs in the air inlet channel into the spring separation cavity. A single spring entering the spring separation cavity is blown up by the wind force at the first air outlet to a height exceeding the outlet height and then is blown out of the outlet by the wind force at the second air outlet; two springs wound together are blown up by the wind force at the first air outlet to a height lower than the outlet height and then fall to the bottom of the spring separation cavity; the springs entering the outlet are conveyed to the spring installation assembly through the spring conveyor;

[0032] Spring installation: The spring installation assembly places the spring on the button;

[0033] Slider feeding: The slider vibrating bowl conveys the sliders to the slider installation assembly through the slider conveyor;

[0034] Slider installation: The slider installation assembly places the slider on the spring;

[0035] Assembly: The slider installation assembly applies force to the slider to install the slider, the spring and the button as an integrated unit.

[0036] By adopting the above technical solutions, this method can not only achieve automatic separation of wound springs, improve production efficiency, and ensure good product consistency, but also reduce production costs in the context of continuously increasing labor costs.

[0037] In summary, the present application has at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0038] 1. The switch button assembly equipment of the present application can achieve automatic separation of wound springs, ensure the quality of assembly, and improve production efficiency.

[0039] 2. The switch button assembly equipment of the present application can automatically convey and install the sliders in a directed manner, with a simple and compact structure and high automation, improving the production efficiency and the consistency of product quality.

[0040] 3. The switch button assembly method of the present application can not only achieve automatic separation of wound springs, improve production efficiency, and ensure good product consistency, but also reduce production costs in the context of continuously increasing labor costs.

[0057] The following will describe in detail some embodiments of the present invention with reference to the drawings. Without conflict, the features in the following embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0058] Embodiment 1:

[0059] Please refer to Figure 1 , a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of a switch button assembly device. The switch button assembly device includes a machine table 3, a frame 5 fixed on the machine table 3, a button feeding assembly 1, a spring feeding assembly 7, a slide bar feeding assembly 6, a button installation assembly 2, a spring installation assembly 8, and a slide bar installation assembly 4. The button installation assembly 2 is installed on the machine table 3, and the spring installation assembly 8 and the slide bar installation assembly 4 are slidably installed on the frame 5. The button feeding assembly 1 includes a button vibrating disk 11 and a button conveyor 12 connected to the button vibrating disk 11. The button conveyor 12 is used to convey the buttons 100 arranged and output by the vibrating disk into the button installation assembly 2. The spring feeding assembly 7 includes a spring vibrating disk 71 and a spring conveyor 72 connected to the spring vibrating disk 71. The spring conveyor 72 is used to convey the springs 200 arranged and output by the spring vibrating disk 71 into the spring installation assembly 8. The slide bar feeding assembly 6 includes a slide bar vibrating disk 62 and a slide bar conveyor 61. The slide bar conveyor 61 is used to convey the slide bars arranged and output by the slide bar vibrating disk 62 into the slide bar installation assembly 4. The button installation assembly 2, the spring installation assembly 8, and the slide bar installation assembly 4 cooperate together to assemble the button 100, the spring 200, and the slide bar 300 into one body.

[0060] Please refer to Figure 2 , a fixing plate 51 is also slidably connected to the frame 5, and the fixing plate 51 can slide up and down relative to the frame 5.

[0061] Please refer to Figure 3, the button vibratory bowl 11 conveys the neatly arranged buttons 100 to the button conveyor 12 through the button discharge chute 13, and the button conveyor 12 conveys the buttons 100 to the button mounting assembly 2. The button mounting assembly 2 includes a first push rod 21 that pushes in a direction perpendicular to the button conveyor 12. The first push rod 21 pushes the button 100 to the second push rod 23 through a first push plate 22. The pushing direction of the second push rod 23 is perpendicular to the pushing direction of the first push rod 21. The second push rod 23 pushes the button 100 to the working station of the button mounting assembly 2 through a second push plate 24 for assembly. The reason for setting the first push rod 21 and the second push rod 23 for two-stage conveying is that the first push rod 21 and the second push rod 23 can each push one button 100 at a time, ensuring accurate and orderly conveying and assembly.

[0062] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the spring feeding assembly 7 includes a spring vibratory bowl 71 and a spring conveyor 72. An air inlet channel 713 is provided at the upper end of the spring vibratory bowl 71. The air inlet channel 713 is connected to a blower 712. The blower 712 is fixed to the side wall of the spring vibratory bowl 71. An air duct opening 711 is provided in the air inlet channel 713, and the air duct opening 711 is used for the spring to enter the air inlet channel 713. The other end of the air inlet channel 713 is connected to the spring conveyor 72. The spring conveyor 72 allows the spring 200 to enter the spring pipeline opening 724 from the spring discharge port 723 through the spring outlet 721. The spring pusher 722 pushes the spring 200 above the spring pipeline 726, and the high-pressure gas entering through the spring air inlet 725 pushes the spring 200 along the spring pipeline 726 to the spring mounting assembly 8.

[0063] Please refer to Figure 6, a spring vibrating bowl 71 is provided with a spring separation chamber 715. The spring separation chamber 715 is provided with an inlet 714 and an outlet 716. The air blower 712 blows air into the spring separation chamber 715 through the inlet 714 along the air inlet passage 713 via the second air outlet 7131. An air duct opening 711 is provided on the side wall of the air inlet passage 713. The side wall of the spring vibrating bowl 71 is connected with a spirally rising spring feeding plate 718. The spring feeding plate 718 feeds the spring 200 into the air inlet passage 713 through the air duct opening 711. The spring 200 entering the air inlet passage 713 is blown into the spring separation chamber 715 by the wind force in the second air outlet 7131. A first air outlet 719 is provided at the bottom of the spring separation chamber 715. The air outlet direction of the first air outlet 719 is upward. The single spring 200 entering the spring separation chamber 715 is blown up and the height is not lower than the outlet 716. The single spring 200 blown up and not lower than the outlet 716 is blown out of the spring separation chamber 715 from the outlet 716 by the wind of the second air outlet 7131 and is led out from the spring vibration outlet 717. The second air outlet 7131 is arranged on the side wall of the spring vibrating bowl 71 and the air outlet direction of the second air outlet 7131 intersects with the air outlet direction of the first air outlet 719 (as shown in the figure). Both the inlet 714 and the outlet 716 are higher than the first air outlet 719. The height of the outlet 716 can be designed according to the air output of the first air outlet 719. The outlet 716 can be higher than the inlet 714, lower than the inlet 714 or at the same height as the inlet 714. The adopted scheme in this embodiment is that the outlet 716 is higher than the inlet 714.

[0064] Please refer to Figure 7, the slide bar feeding assembly 6 includes a slide bar conveyor 61 and a slide bar vibrating bowl 62. A spiral rising slide bar feeding plate 621 is connected to the side wall of the slide bar vibrating bowl 62. The slide bar feeding plate 621 conveys the slide bar 300 to the material distributing plate 612 rotatably connected to the slide bar discharge chute 611 through the slide bar discharge chute 611. Axial arrays of through slots 6122 are formed at the edge of the material distributing plate 612. The through slots 6122 are stepped to define the entering direction of the slide bar 300. A support plate 6121 is provided below the material distributing plate 612. The support plate 6121 is used to keep the slide bar 300 entering the through slot 6122 within the through slot 6122 before leaving the through slot 6122. The stepped shape of the through slot 6122 is designed such that the slide bar 300 can enter when the entering direction of the slide bar 300 is the same as the direction of the through slot 6122, and cannot enter the through slot 6122 but fall back into the spring vibrating bowl 71 when the entering direction of the slide bar 300 is opposite to the direction of the through slot 6122. The slide bar 300 entering the through slot 6122 falls into the slide bar discharge chute 611 from the other end after rotating 180 degrees with the material distributing plate 612 and is then fed into the slide bar conveyor 61. The slide bar conveyor 61 includes a slide bar pusher 613. The slide bar pusher 613 pushes the slide bar 300 into a position corresponding to the slide bar pipe 615 through the slide bar push rod 614 and is conveyed to the slide bar mounting assembly 4 by high-pressure gas through the slide bar pipe 615. The slide bar pusher 613 is perpendicular to the slide bar discharge chute 611, and its purpose is also to control the installation of one slide bar 300 each time, which is convenient for controlling the production rhythm and preventing too many slide bars 300 from being arranged to block the slide bar pipe 615.

[0065] Please refer to Figure 8, a fixing plate 51 is slidably connected to a frame 5. A pressing cylinder 54 is also connected to the frame 5. The pressing cylinder 54 is used to push the fixing plate 51 to slide up and down relative to the frame 5. A spring installation assembly 8 and a slide bar installation assembly 4 are fixed to the fixing plate 51 and slide up and down together with the fixing plate 51. A spring inlet 727, a slide bar inlet 616 and a mixing outlet 58 are installed on the fixing plate 51. The spring inlet 727 is used to receive the spring 200 conveyed by the spring pipe 726, and the slide bar inlet 616 is used to receive the slide bar 300 conveyed by the slide bar pipe 615. The spring installation assembly 8 includes a spring cylinder 81 and a spring cylinder push rod connected to the spring cylinder 81. The spring cylinder 81 pushes the spring 200 entering from the spring inlet 727 above the mixing outlet 58 through the spring cylinder push rod. The slide bar installation assembly 4 includes a slide bar cylinder 41 and a slide bar cylinder push rod connected to the slide bar cylinder 41. The slide bar cylinder 41 drives the slide bar cylinder push rod to push the slide bar 300 entering from the slide bar inlet 616 above the mixing outlet 58. A sensor 43 is arranged above the mixing outlet 58 for sensing the installation states of the spring 200 and the slide bar 300. A pusher 53 is also installed on the fixing plate 51. The pusher 53 is connected to a pressure rod 52, and the pressure rod 52 is coaxially arranged with the mixing outlet 58. An upper positioning member 55 and a lower positioning member 57 are also installed on the frame 5. A limiting member 56 is installed on the fixing plate 51, and the limiting member 56 is located between the upper positioning member 55 and the lower positioning member 57. The upper positioning member 55 and the lower positioning member 57 are used to limit the range of the up and down sliding of the fixing plate 51. When the fixing plate 51 drives the limiting member 56 to slide up and contact the upper limiting member 56, the pressing cylinder 54 stops driving and the fixing plate 51 stops sliding. When the fixing plate 51 drives the limiting member 56 to slide down and contact the lower limiting member 56, the pressing cylinder 54 stops driving and the fixing plate 51 stops sliding. The upper positioning member 55 and the lower positioning member 57 can be adjustably installed on the frame 5, and the stroke range of the sliding of the fixing plate 51 can be adjusted as required.

[0066] Please refer to Figure 9, the push rod of the spring cylinder 81 is provided with a spring push rod hole 821. When the push rod of the spring cylinder 81 is in the initial state, the spring push rod hole 821 is located below the spring feed port 727 and aligned with the spring feed port 727. The spring 200 entering from the spring feed port 727 directly enters the spring push rod hole 821. After the spring 200 enters the spring push rod hole 821, the spring cylinder 81 drives the push rod of the spring cylinder 81 to move to a position above the mixing discharge port 58 and wait for assembly. The push rod of the slide bar cylinder 41 is provided with a slide bar push rod hole 421. When the push rod of the slide bar cylinder 41 is in the initial state, the slide bar push rod hole 421 is located below the slide bar feed port 616 and aligned with the slide bar feed port 616. The slide bar 300 entering from the slide bar feed port 616 directly enters the slide bar push rod hole 421. After the slide bar 300 enters the slide bar push rod hole 421, the slide bar cylinder 41 drives the push rod of the slide bar cylinder 41 to move to a position above the mixing discharge port 58 and above the spring feed port 727. At this time, the axes of the slide bar push rod hole 421, the spring push rod hole 821, and the mixing discharge port 58 are aligned. The fixed plate 51 is fixedly connected with a pushing member 53. The pushing member 53 is connected with a pressing rod 52. The pressing rod 52 coincides with the axis of the mixing discharge port 58. The pushing member 53 drives the pressing rod 52 to sequentially pass through the slide bar push rod hole 421, the spring push rod hole 821, and the mixing discharge port 58, and pushes the spring 200 and the slide bar 300 onto the button 100 in sequence for assembly.

[0067] Please refer to Figure 10 , the fixed plate 51 is connected with a slider 511, and a slide rail 512 is fixed on the frame 5. The slider 511 is slidably connected to the slide rail 512. The driving end of the downward pressing cylinder 54 is connected to the fixed plate 51. The downward pressing cylinder 54 can drive the fixed plate 51 to slide along the slide rail 512.

[0068] The working process and principle of this embodiment are as follows:

[0069] The button vibrating disk 11 conveys the buttons 100 to the button conveyor 12 in a certain order through the button discharge chute 13, and the button conveyor 12 conveys the buttons 100 to below the installation station mixing discharge port 58 of the machine table 3. The spring vibrating disk 71 conveys a single spring 200 to the spring conveyor 72 through vibration and the wind power of the first air outlet 719 and the second air outlet 7131, and the spring conveyor 72 conveys the spring 200 to the spring inlet 727 through the spring pipe 726. The spring 200 entering from the spring inlet 727 directly enters the spring push rod hole 821. After the spring 200 enters the spring push rod hole 821, the spring cylinder 81 drives the spring cylinder 81 push rod to move to a position above the mixing discharge port 58 and wait for assembly. The slide bar vibrating disk 62 conveys the slide bar 300 to the slide bar conveyor 61 in a certain direction through the slide bar loading plate 621 and the slide bar discharge chute 611 via the material distribution plate 612. The slide bar conveyor 61 conveys the slide bar 300 into the slide bar inlet 616 through the slide bar pipe 615 by air pressure. The slide bar 300 entering from the slide bar inlet 616 directly enters the slide bar push rod hole 421. After the slide bar 300 enters the slide bar push rod hole 421, the slide bar cylinder 41 drives the slide bar cylinder 41 push rod to move to positions above the mixing discharge port 58 and above the spring inlet 727.
