DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] As an embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 5 Specifically, as Figure 1 An intelligent assembly robot, comprising a workbench 1, the workbench 1 is provided with a feeding mechanism for guiding the workpiece to enter the workbench 1, one side of the feeding mechanism is provided with a clamping mechanism for grabbing the rubber ring, one side of the clamping mechanism is provided with a pushing mechanism for pushing the workpiece to move, the workbench 1 is further provided with a central control mechanism for controlling the operation of the feeding mechanism, the clamping mechanism and the pushing mechanism. In use, the workpiece is placed on the feeding mechanism, the feeding mechanism controls the workpiece to slowly enter the workbench 1, then the user controls the clamping mechanism to clamp the rubber ring and put the rubber ring into the inside of the workpiece through the single-chip microcomputer built in the robot, and the installation of the workpiece and the rubber ring is completed. The pushing mechanism can push the workpiece to the specified position, so as to facilitate the clamping mechanism to put the rubber ring into the inside of the workpiece. The central control mechanism is used for controlling the orderly operation of the feeding mechanism, the clamping mechanism and the pushing mechanism, and they are used cooperatively. The present application can reduce the labor intensity of manual assembly of rubber rings.

[0022] Further, as Figure 1 and Figure 3The central control mechanism comprises a mounting seat 2, a driving plate 3, a sliding rod 4, a driven plate 5, a sliding rod 2 6 and a driven column 7. The sliding rod 4 is fixedly connected to the workbench 1. The driving plate 3 is slidably connected to the sliding rod 4. The mounting seat 2 is fixedly connected to the driving plate 3. A power device for pushing the driving plate 3 to move linearly back and forth is arranged on one side of the mounting seat 2. The sliding rod 2 6 is fixedly connected to the workbench 1. The driven plate 5 is slidably connected to the sliding rod 2 6. The sliding directions of the driven plate 5 and the driving plate 3 are perpendicular to each other. Two symmetrical inclined grooves 22 are arranged in the driving plate 3. The driven column 7 is arranged in the inclined grooves 22 and is fixedly connected to the corresponding driven plate 5. In use, the power device pushes the driving plate 3 to move linearly back and forth. In this process, the driven columns 7 are made to move closer to or farther away from each other by the mutual extrusion between the inclined grooves 22 and the driven columns 7. In this embodiment, preferably, when the power device pushes the driving plate 3 away from the power device itself, the two driven columns 7 move closer to each other. When the power device pulls the driving plate 3 to be close to the power device itself, the two driven columns 7 move farther away from each other. It should be noted that the power device can be a cylinder or other device with linear reciprocating driving capability.

[0023] As Figure 2 , the feeding mechanism comprises a guide rail 17 and a positioning groove arranged on the driving plate 3. The guide rail 17 is fixedly connected to one side of the driving plate 3. A baffle 23 is fixedly connected to one of the driven columns 7. The baffle 23 moves back and forth in contact with the outlet of the guide rail 17. In use, the driven column 7 repeatedly blocks and unblocks the outlet of the guide rail 17 by means of the baffle 23. When the baffle 23 blocks the outlet of the guide rail 17, the workpieces in the guide rail 17 are blocked by the baffle 23 and cannot enter the driving plate 3. When the outlet of the guide rail 17 is not blocked, the workpieces in the guide rail 17 move downward, and the workpiece at the bottom slides into the positioning groove on the driving plate 3 and stops in the positioning groove. It can be seen that by designing the end of the baffle 23 in contact with the workpieces as a sharp end, the baffle 23 can be inserted between two adjacent workpieces, thereby separating the workpieces at the outlet of the guide rail 17.

[0024] Further, the cross-sectional shape of the guide rail 17 is arc-shaped. The arc-shaped design is beneficial to slow down the speed of the workpieces moving up and down from the guide rail 17.

[0025] Still further, as Figure 1 and Figure 4The clamping mechanism comprises a second push plate 9 and a mounting plate 10, the second push plate 9 is located on the opposite side of the baffle 23, the second push plate 9 is driven by the corresponding driven column 7 to move reciprocatingly in the linear direction, the second push plate 9 is detachably connected with the mounting plate 10, the mounting plate 10 is fixedly connected with two block bodies 19, the two block bodies 19 are provided with a block body 20, the block body 20 is slidably connected with the mounting plate 10, the block body 19 and the block body 20 are fixedly connected with clamping rods 21, and the movement of the block body 20 is controlled by the single-chip microcomputer inside the robot. By sleeving the rubber ring on the three clamping rods 21 in the clamping mechanism and controlling the movement of the block body 20 on the mounting plate 10 by the single-chip microcomputer, the originally circular rubber ring can be buckled into a kidney shape, then when the two driven columns 7 approach each other, the kidney-shaped rubber ring can be successfully clamped into the ring groove in the workpiece which is specially used for assembling the rubber ring, under the control of the single-chip microcomputer, the block body 20 can be controlled to move away from the block body 19 after the rubber ring is clamped into the ring groove, so as to gradually release the pressure on the rubber ring, so that the rubber ring can be completely clamped into the ring groove, then the two driven columns 7 move away from each other, so that the clamping rod 21 can be separated from the reset rubber ring. It can be known that by opening the upper clamp on the clamping rod 21 and designing the depth of the clamp to be less than the depth of the ring groove, the rubber ring and the clamping rod 21 can be easily separated after the rubber ring is clamped into the ring groove. For example, there are various ways to control the movement of the block body 20 by the single-chip microcomputer, such as installing a motor in the mounting plate 10, the motor is controlled by the single-chip microcomputer, a lead screw is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor, and the lead screw is threadedly connected with the block body 20; or a gas cylinder is installed in the mounting plate 10, the single-chip microcomputer is used to control the extension and retraction of the gas cylinder, so that the gas cylinder drives the clamping rod 21 to move.

[0026] In the formula, R represents a C1-C6 alkyl group, and X represents a halogen atom. Figure 5, push plate two 9 and the driven column 7 elastic rotation connection, push plate two 9 is fixedly connected with horizontal shaft 11, the workbench 1 is fixedly connected with the shell 13, the shell 13 is provided with the rod body 14, one end of the rod body 14 and the let go of horizontal rod 24 rotation connection, let go of horizontal rod 24 and mounting seat 2 sliding connection, the other end of the rod body 14 and line wheel 12 fixed connection, line wheel 12 and horizontal shaft 11 are connected through the line rope, the shell 13 is fixedly connected with inner liner 15, the inner liner 15 is provided with screw groove, the rod body 14 is fixedly connected with lug 16, screw groove is located on the moving path of lug 16. Pull the mounting seat 2, the power equipment can freely retract one end and mounting seat 2 fixed connection, let mounting seat 2 move towards the power equipment, at this time, two driven columns 7 are away from each other, when the driven column 7 is about to move to the end of the chute 22, the rod body 14 will drive lug 16 into the screw groove in the inner liner 15, thereby under the limiting action of screw groove, drive the rod body 14 to rotate, the rotation of line wheel 12 can pull horizontal shaft 11 through the traction rope, thereby drive push plate two 9 to overcome the elastic force and overturn, at this time, push plate two 9 drives mounting plate 10 upwards, so that the user can put the new rubber ring on the clamping rod 21, then the single-chip microcomputer controls the clamping rod 21 to buckle the rubber ring into kidney shape.

[0027] Preferably, as Figure 3 , push mechanism includes push plate one 8, push plate one 8 and driven column 7 elastic sliding connection, push plate one 8 and push plate two 9 are located on both sides of the workpiece respectively, push plate one 8 is fixedly connected with baffle 23. Push plate one 8 can be driven by driven column 7 to complete the purpose of pushing one end of the workpiece and the end face of the positioning groove to fit, so as to achieve the purpose of positioning the workpiece.

[0028] As Figure 1 , the baffle 23 is fixedly connected with the oiling wheel 18. The oiling wheel 18 can move with the baffle 23, when the baffle 23 moves, it can drive the oiling wheel 18 to insert into a certain workpiece in the guide rail 17, to complete the purpose of oiling the inside of the workpiece. The use of the oiling wheel 18 can oil the inside of those workpieces with through structure.
