Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of assembly equipment, in particular to a fan assembly device for a lint cleaning device. Background Art
[0002] A lint removal device is a small appliance designed specifically for removing lint from the surface of clothing. In addition to trimming lint, it can also absorb lint and collect it uniformly. Figure 1 As shown, the lint remover primarily consists of a bracket e, a DC motor f mounted on the bracket, a fan g mounted on the DC motor's shaft f1, a cutter head mounted on the fan shaft g1, and a safety screen threaded onto the top of bracket e. During use, the safety screen is placed close to the surface of clothing, and the DC motor f drives the fan g, which in turn rotates the cutter head. The cutter head scrapes off the lint, and the rotation of the fan g creates negative pressure, which draws the lint to the back for collection.
[0003] During the assembly process, after the DC motor f is assembled with the bracket e, the fan g is mounted on the DC motor shaft f1 located on the bracket e. Conventional fan assembly aids are used, consisting of coaxially arranged positioning posts, a floating socket, and a press head. During assembly, the operator inserts the fan g upside down into the positioning posts and the bracket e upside down onto the socket. The press head then presses the DC motor shaft f1 in the bracket e into the insertion hole of the fan g.
[0004] However, the placement of the fan g and bracket e during assembly is as follows Figure 2 As shown, the assembly is performed by placing the fan g and the bracket e one by one and pressing them one by one, which has low work efficiency. In addition, during the placement of the fan g, the operator needs to take out a fan g from a pile of materials and grasp the fan blade part in order to successfully invert the fan on the positioning column. Since the fan blade has multiple sharp corners, the sharp corners will poke the operator's fingers whether it is being grasped or placed. Over time, the fingers will become red and numb, further reducing the assembly efficiency.
[0005] It can be seen that the existing technology still needs to be improved and enhanced. Summary of the Invention

[0045] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with embodiments and drawings.
[0046] Example
[0047] See also Figure 3-15The present invention provides a fan assembly device for a lint cleaning device, comprising a fan preparation module A for placing fans, a bracket preparation module B for placing brackets, and a pressing module C for pressing fans and brackets, wherein the fan preparation module A and the bracket preparation module B are respectively arranged on both sides of the pressing module C; the fan preparation module A comprises a first material tray A1 and a feeding mechanism A2, a material swinging workbench A3, a turning mechanism A4 and a first conveyor line A5 arranged in sequence along the conveying direction of the first material tray A1; the first material tray A1 is placed on the material swinging workbench A3 and is used to store fans arranged in a matrix manner; the turning mechanism A4 and the first conveyor line A5 are respectively arranged on the first material tray A1 and the first material tray A1 is placed on the material swinging workbench A3 and is used to store fans arranged in a matrix manner; the turning mechanism A4 and the first conveyor line A5 are respectively arranged on the first material tray A1 and the first material tray A1 is placed on the material swinging workbench A3 and is used to store fans arranged in a matrix manner; the turning mechanism A4 and the first conveyor line A5 are respectively arranged on the first material tray A1 and the first material tray A1 is placed on the first material tray A1 ... The turning mechanism A4 flips the first material tray A1 180°; the first conveyor line A5 conveys the first material tray A1 forward; a first material moving mechanism A6 for moving the fan to the pressing module C is provided above the first conveyor line A5, and a first clamping assembly A7 for clamping the fan is provided at the output end of the first material moving mechanism A6; the bracket preparation module B includes a second material tray B1 and a second conveyor line B2 for conveying the second material tray B1; a second material moving mechanism B3 for moving the bracket to the pressing module C is provided above the second conveyor line B2, and a second clamping assembly B4 for clamping the bracket is provided at the output end of the second material moving mechanism B3.
[0048] When placing the fans, the fans are uniformly placed in the unloading mechanism A2, and under the action of the unloading mechanism A2, the fan shaft faces upward, which is convenient for the operator to grab the fan shaft. The operator sits next to the material placement workbench A3 and grabs the fan shaft to place the fans one by one on the first material tray A1; after the placement is completed, the first material tray A1 is pushed into the flipping mechanism A4, and the flipping mechanism A4 flips the first material tray A1 180°, so that the fan is inverted; continue to push the flipped first material tray A1 to the first conveyor line A5, and the first material moving mechanism A6 drives the first clamping component A7 to move to the fan, and the first clamping component A7 clamps and fixes the fans in the same row, and then moves the fan to the pressing module C under the drive of the first material moving mechanism A6.
[0049] When placing the bracket, the conveying starting end of the second conveyor line B2 is spliced with the end of the conveyor line of the previous assembly, where the previous assembly refers to the assembly of the DC motor and the bracket. The bracket is directly placed on the second material tray B1 after the previous assembly is completed. The second conveyor line B2 conveys the second material tray B1 to the bottom of the second material moving mechanism B3. The second material moving mechanism B3 drives the second clamping component B4 to move to the bracket, and the second clamping component B4 clamps and fixes the brackets in the same row, and then transfers the bracket to the pressing module C under the drive of the second material moving mechanism B3.
[0050] During press-fitting, the pressing module C presses the DC motor shaft on the bracket into the fan. The second material moving mechanism B3 then drives the second clamping assembly B4 to move onto the pressed bracket. The second clamping assembly B4 clamps and secures the pressed bracket. The second material moving mechanism B3 then drives the pressed bracket back onto the second material tray B1, completing the assembly of the fan and bracket. Compared to the prior art, the coordination of the unloading mechanism A2, the flipping mechanism A4, and the first material moving mechanism A6 facilitates the operator's ability to pick up the fan and assists in placing an inverted fan. Furthermore, the coordination of the first material moving mechanism A6, the second material moving mechanism B3, and the pressing module C allows for simultaneous assembly of multiple fans and brackets, improving assembly efficiency.
[0051] In this embodiment, the positions of the fan preparation module A, the bracket preparation module B and the pressing module C can be arranged in the following two ways.
[0052] The first placement, see Figure 5 The first conveyor line A5 of the fan preparation module A is perpendicular to the second conveyor line B2 of the bracket preparation module B, and the pressing module C is located between the first conveyor line A5 and the second conveyor line B2. This placement method can add assembly production lines for different parts along the assembly conveyor line of the bracket to facilitate the layout of the assembly production line of the lint cleaning device. This embodiment is explained using the above placement position as an example.
[0053] For the second placement, see Figure 6 The first conveyor line A5 of the fan preparation module A is parallel to the second conveyor line B2 of the bracket preparation module B, and the pressing module C is located between the first conveyor line A5 and the second conveyor line B2. This placement method can reduce the occupied space on the ground, making the fan preparation module A, the bracket preparation module B and the pressing module C more compact.
[0054] In a preferred embodiment, see Figure 7The first material tray A1 includes an upper cover A11 and a lower cover A12. The lower cover A12 is provided with first grooves A13 arranged in a matrix manner. The first grooves A13 match the fan blades. The upper cover A11 is provided with second grooves A14 corresponding to the positions of the first grooves A13. The second grooves A14 match the fan shaft. Specifically, the bottom of the upper cover A11 is provided with a surrounding edge A16, and the top of the lower cover A12 is provided with a surrounding groove A17 matching the surrounding edge A16. The surrounding edge A16 cooperates with the surrounding groove A17 to limit the horizontal movement of the upper cover A11 and the lower cover A12. In this embodiment, the first grooves A13 are preferably arranged in 4 rows and 4 columns. When placing the fan, the lower cover A12 is first placed on the material placement workbench A3. The operator places the fan in the first groove A13, then buckles the upper cover A11 on the lower cover A12, and inserts the fan shaft into the second groove A14. The upper cover A11 limits the axial movement direction of the fan, preventing the fan from falling after the flipping mechanism A4 flips the first material tray A1. Figure 8 The second material tray B1 is provided with third grooves B11 arranged in a matrix manner. The third grooves B11 match the top of the bracket. A through hole B12 is provided in the third groove B11. The through hole B12 is used to avoid the fan shaft of the fan pressed on the bracket, so that the second material tray B1 can store unpressed brackets as well as pressed brackets.
[0055] In a preferred embodiment, see Figure 3 、 4 9. The unloading mechanism A2 includes a hopper B21, a vibrating plate B22 disposed below the hopper B21, and a vibrating assembly A23 disposed at the bottom of the vibrating plate B22. The vibrating plate B22 is tilted downward, wherein the vibrating assembly A23 can be a linear vibrating feeder to continuously push the fans that fall into the vibrating plate B22 forward. The fans are laid out flat and not stacked, so that the operator can easily grab their fan shafts. The vibrating plate B22 is provided with a number of parallel inclined slots A221. Specifically, the inclined slots A221 extend toward the material placement workbench A3. The cross-section of the inclined slots A221 is a right triangle. The bottom width of the inclined slots A221 is less than the diameter of the fan. The side wall height of the inclined slots A221 is consistent with the height of the fan blades. Since the fan blades are heavier, during the sliding process, the bottom of the fan blades is close to the bottom of the inclined slots A221, and the side edges of the fan blades are close to the side walls of the inclined slots A221, so that the fan shafts are placed obliquely upward, further facilitating the operator's grasping. In addition, even if the fan is in an inverted tilted state with its fan shaft facing the inclined slot A221 when it just falls into the inclined slot A221, the vibration plate B22 is always in a vibrating state and the fan shaft is unstable when used as a support. After a period of time, the fan blades will eventually be placed close to the inclined slot A221.
[0056] It should be noted that the bottom of the hopper B21 is a funnel-shaped structure. To ensure that the fan falls from the hopper B21 onto the vibrating disk B22 and moves downward along the inclined groove A221, the distance between the bottom of the hopper B21 and the inclined upper end of the vibrating disk B22 is greater than the diameter of the fan blades and the total height of the fan.
[0057] In actual use, see Figure 4 In order to further prevent the fan from getting stuck between the discharge port of the hopper B21 and the vibration plate B22, the discharge mechanism A2 also includes a pushing assembly A24, which includes a second translation assembly A241 and a push plate A242 arranged at the output end of the second translation assembly A241. The second translation assembly A241 drives the push plate A242 to perform reciprocating translation motion; the push plate A242 is arranged at an angle, and the moving range of the inclined upper end of the push plate A242 does not enter the discharge port range of the hopper B21 to prevent the falling fan from getting stuck in the push plate A242.
[0058] In a preferred embodiment, see Figure 3 、 10 The flipping mechanism A4 comprises a driving rotation mechanism A41 and a flipping claw A42 symmetrically positioned at the output end of the driving rotation mechanism A41. The flipping claw A42 is C-shaped, with positioning mechanisms A43 positioned on either side of the flipping claw A42. The top and bottom of the first material tray A1 are each provided with positioning holes A15 that align with the output ends of the positioning mechanisms A43. In this preferred embodiment, the upper cover A11 and lower cover A12 of the first material tray A1 are each provided with four positioning holes A15, and these four positioning holes A15 are symmetrically arranged. Similarly, two positioning mechanisms A43 are positioned on the upper and lower sides of each flipping claw A42, respectively. The positioning mechanisms A43 can be push-pull electromagnets. When the extended shafts of the push-pull electromagnets are inserted into the corresponding positioning holes A15, they lock the positions of the upper cover A11 and lower cover A12. Once locked, the driving rotation mechanism A41 drives the two flipping claws A42 to rotate synchronously, thereby flipping the first material tray A1 180°.
[0059] Further, see Figure 10The driving rotation mechanism A41 includes a flip frame A411, a driving shaft A412 arranged horizontally and rotatably connected to the flip frame A411, a first driving motor A413 connected to one end of the driving shaft A412, two vertically arranged transmission rods A414 rotatably connected to the flip frame A411, and two horizontally arranged driven shafts A415 rotatably connected to the flip frame A411 respectively. The end of the driving shaft A412 is connected to the lower end of the transmission rod A414 through a first bevel gear transmission assembly A416, the upper end of the transmission rod A414 is connected to one end of the driven shaft A415 through a second bevel gear transmission assembly A417, and the other end of the driven shaft A415 is rotatably connected to the flip claw A42, wherein the first driving motor A413 is a motor with a reducer. The first driving motor A413 drives the driving shaft A412 to rotate, and the transmission rod A414 and the driven shaft A415 rotate accordingly to realize the synchronous rotation of the two flip claws A42.
[0060] After the first material tray A1 is flipped 180°, the lower cover A12 is located above the upper cover A11. At this time, the operator pushes the first material tray A1 from the flipping mechanism A4 into the first conveyor line A5 and takes out the lower cover A12, so that in the subsequent process, the first clamping assembly A7 can take out the inverted fan.
[0061] Further, see Figure 3 、 12 In order to reduce the trouble of the operator in removing the lower cover A12, a cover removing mechanism A9 is provided above the first conveyor line A5, and a third conveyor line A10 is provided next to the first conveyor line A5. The cover removing mechanism A9 includes a third translation component A91 provided on the third conveyor line A10, a third lifting component A92 provided at the output end of the third translation component A91, and a plurality of suction cups A93 provided at the output end of the third lifting component A92. The suction cups A93 are externally connected to a vacuum pumping device to generate an adsorption force to adsorb and fix the lower cover A12. Through the above arrangement, the lower cover A12 can be removed from the upper cover A11 and transferred to the third conveyor line A10.
[0062] Among them, the suction cup A93 can be a suction cup with a buffer spring; the third conveyor line A10 includes a plurality of rotatable conveyor rollers and a power source for driving the conveyor rollers to rotate, so as to convey the lower cover A12 toward the operator.
[0063] In a preferred embodiment, see Figure 11The first conveyor line A5 includes a first conveyor frame A51, which is provided with a first conveyor assembly A52, a first material stopper mechanism A53, and a second conveyor assembly A55 in sequence along the conveying direction of the first material tray A1. The first conveyor assembly A52 and the second conveyor assembly A55 both act on the bottom of both sides of the first material tray A1. Specifically, the first conveyor frame A51 is provided with guide ribs A55 on both sides. When the first material tray A1 is pushed onto the first conveyor assembly A52, the first conveyor assembly A52 pushes the upper cover A11 forward and stops under the action of the first material stopper mechanism A53. At this time, it waits for the previous upper cover A11 to be removed and the cover removal mechanism A9 to remove the lower cover A12. After the previous upper cover A11 is removed, the first material stopper mechanism A53 cancels the position limit of the upper cover A11, and the first conveyor assembly A52 and the second conveyor assembly A55 cooperate to transport the upper cover A11 to the bottom of the first material moving mechanism A6.
[0064] Among them, the first conveying component A52 and the second conveying component A55 have similar structures, including a plurality of rotatable short rollers and a power source for driving the short rollers to rotate, so as to realize the forward conveyance of the upper cover A11.
[0065] Further, see Figure 4 In order to facilitate pushing the first material tray A1 from the swing workbench A3 into the flip claw A42, and from the flip claw A42 to the first conveying assembly A52, the two sides of the swing workbench A3 are symmetrically connected with a number of rollers A31 for rotation. The conveying planes of the several rollers A31, the lower inner side surface of the flip claw A42, and the conveying plane of the first conveying assembly A52 are all on the same horizontal plane. At the same time, the rotation center of the flip claw A42 is located between the two inner sides. After the flip claw A42 flips 180°, the upper inner side surface originally located at the flip claw A42 is coplanar with the conveying plane of the first conveying assembly A52. When the flip claw A42 flips back in the opposite direction for the next time, the next first material tray A1 can be flipped, that is, the flip claw A42 can flip two first material trays A1 with one flip back and forth.
[0066] In a preferred embodiment, see Figure 11 、 12The cover-removing mechanism A8 comprises a first translation assembly A81 mounted on the first conveyor frame A51, a first lifting assembly A82 positioned below the first conveyor assembly A52, and a third conveyor assembly A83 positioned below the first conveyor assembly A52. The conveying end of the first translation assembly A81 is connected to the second conveyor assembly A55. The output end of the first lifting assembly A82 is connected to a support plate A84. The third conveyor assembly A83 extends below the material-swinging worktable A3. After the fan inside the upper cover A11 is completely removed, the first translation assembly A81 drives the second conveyor assembly A55 out from under the upper cover A11, causing the upper cover A11 to fall onto the support plate A84. The first lifting assembly A82 then drives the upper cover A11 downward, allowing it to fall onto the third conveyor assembly A83. Finally, the third conveyor assembly A83 drives the upper cover A11 toward the material-swinging worktable A3, allowing the operator to retrieve the upper cover A11.
[0067] Among them, the third conveying component A83 has a similar structure to the first conveying component A52, and is used to convey the upper cover A11 toward the material placement workbench A3.

The second drive motor A76 drives the first gear A75 to rotate, and the first gear A75 meshes with the two first racks A71, causing the two first racks A71 to perform relative translational motion, thereby enabling the first clamping jaws A72 and the second clamping jaws A73 to cooperate to clamp the fan blades.
[0070] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 3 、 4The second conveyor line B2 is equipped with a fourth conveyor assembly B21 for advancing the second tray B1 and a second stopper mechanism B22, which can be a blocking cylinder, located below the second material transfer mechanism B3. Once the third groove B11 of the previous second tray B1 is completely filled into the press-fitted bracket, the second stopper mechanism B22 removes the positional constraint on the previous second tray B1, and the fourth conveyor assembly B21 pushes the previous tray B1 forward. The second stopper mechanism B22 then resets to prevent the next second tray B1 from remaining below the second material transfer mechanism B3.
[0071] The structure of the fourth conveying component B21 is similar to that of the first conveying component A52, and can convey the second material tray B1 forward.
[0072] The structure of the second material moving mechanism B3 is similar to that of the first material moving mechanism A6 , and can drive the second clamping assembly B4 to move from the second material tray B1 to the pressing module C.
[0073] Further, see Figure 14 The second clamping assembly B4 includes two second racks B41 that perform relative translational motion, one of the second racks B41 is provided with a plurality of third clamping jaws B42, and the other second rack B41 is provided with a plurality of fourth clamping jaws B43, and the third clamping jaws B42 and the fourth clamping jaws B43 cooperate with the clamping bracket, and the bottom of the third clamping jaws B42 and the fourth clamping jaws B43 are provided with a support surface B44 extending inward. Specifically, the second clamping assembly B4 also includes a second movable plate B45 provided at the output end of the second material moving mechanism B3, a second gear B46 rotatably connected to the second movable plate B45, and a third drive motor B47 connected to the second gear B46. Two second racks B41 are respectively slidably connected to the second movable plate B45 and meshed with the second gear B46. The third drive motor B47 drives the second gear B46 to rotate, and the second gear B46 meshes with the two second racks B41, so that the two second racks B41 perform relative translational motion to enable the third clamping jaw B42 and the fourth clamping jaw B43 to cooperate in clamping the bracket. It should be noted that the third clamping jaw B42 and the fourth clamping jaw B43 cooperate to clamp the largest diameter part of the bracket, and the support surface B44 is used to support the lower surface of the diameter part to ensure stable clamping.
[0074] In a preferred embodiment, see Figure 15The pressing module C includes a pressing frame C1, a platform C2 provided on the pressing frame C1, and a second lifting assembly C3 provided on the pressing frame C1. A plurality of positioning columns C4 are provided on the platform C2. In this embodiment, the number of positioning columns C4 is 4, which can realize the simultaneous assembly of 4 fans and 4 brackets. A circular hole C41 matching the fan shaft is opened on the positioning column C4, a floating plate C5 is provided above the positioning column C4, and a spring C6 is provided between the floating plate C5 and the platform C2. A pressing hole C51 corresponding to the position of the positioning hole A15 is opened on the floating plate C5, and a circular groove C52 for placing the bracket is provided on the pressing hole C51. The output end of the second lifting assembly C3 is connected to the pressing block C7. During press-fitting, the fan is inverted, and the fan shaft is inserted into the circular hole C41. The top surface of the positioning column C4 supports the fan blades, and the bracket is inverted, and the threaded position of the bracket is placed correspondingly on the circular groove C52. At this time, the linear motor shaft on the bracket is coaxial with the insertion hole in the fan; then, the second lifting component C3 drives the pressure block C7 to move downward, and the pressure block C7 acts on the linear motor in the bracket to insert the linear motor shaft into the fan, and the spring C6 is compressed; the second lifting component C3 drives the pressure block C7 to reset, and the floating plate C5 is reset under the action of the spring C6. Finally, the second material moving mechanism B3 and the second clamping component B4 transfer the pressed bracket to the second material tray B1.
