Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of assembly table technology, and specifically relates to a mechanically automated guided assembly table. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of the manufacturing industry, mechanical assembly is becoming increasingly frequent. Copper inserts, as crucial components in machinery, require careful assembly. Copper inserts are typically tubular. During assembly, a matching plastic part is first manufactured according to the specific specifications of the copper insert. The copper insert is then heated and inserted into a pre-drilled mounting hole in the plastic part. Because copper has excellent thermal conductivity, the heated plastic part softens upon insertion, facilitating the rapid embedding of the copper insert.
[0003] Most existing assembly tables function as ordinary workbenches and cannot automatically guide plastic parts. Manual adjustment of the parts' placement angle is required, and assembly still necessitates manual work. This results in low automation, as workers need to move components and adjust the direction and angle of the machinery, impacting assembly speed. In summary, current assembly tables, lacking automated guidance and assembly, lead to slow assembly speed, low efficiency, and wasted labor costs. Summary of the Invention

[0045] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all components in this invention are known in the prior art. For example, the human-computer interaction interface uses a commonly used, known human-computer interaction interface.
[0046] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the following specific embodiments. All equivalent modifications made based on the technical solutions of this application fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, a mechanical automatic guide assembly table is characterized by comprising a feeding device 1, a plastic part clamping device 2, a plastic part processing device 3, a discharging device 4, and a control unit 5.
[0048] Feeding device 1 is used for: The plastic part 6 is clamped and moved to the plastic part processing device 3.

[0055] Flip over plastic part 6.
[0056] The unloading device 4 is used to: clamp the plastic part 6 after the copper insert has been installed, and move it to the outside.
[0057] Control unit 5 is used for: Control the feeding device 1 to clamp, move, and place plastic parts 6.
[0058] Control the feeding device 1 to clamp, move and install copper inserts.
[0059] The plastic part clamping device 2 controls the clamping, fixing, and flipping of the plastic part 6.
[0060] The plastic part processing device 3 controls the position of the plastic part 6.
[0061] The plastic part handling device 3 adjusts the tilt angle of the plastic part 6.
[0062] The plastic part processing device 3 controls the heating of the plastic part 6.
[0063] Control the feeding device 4 to clamp, move, and place plastic parts 6.
[0064] In use, firstly, the control unit 5 controls the feeding device 1 to clamp the plastic part 6 and move the plastic part 6 to the plastic part processing device 3. After the plastic part processing device 3 detects the plastic part 6, it sends feedback to the control unit 5. The control unit 5 controls the plastic part processing device 3 to adjust the tilt angle of the plastic part 6 to ensure that the plastic part 6 is placed stably and then heats and softens the port of the plastic part 6.
[0065] Next, the control unit 5 controls the plastic part clamping device 2 to clamp and fix the plastic part 6, and flips it so that the port faces upward. Then, the control unit 5 controls the feeding device 1 to clamp the copper insert and embed the copper insert into the plastic part 6.
[0066] Finally, the control unit 5 controls the unloading device 4 to pick up the installed plastic part 6, remove the plastic part 6, and then proceed to assemble the next plastic part 6.
[0067] In a conventional implementation, the copper insert is a cylindrical copper component with a threaded structure on its inner surface. The plastic component 6, depending on the actual usage requirements, is also typically a cylindrical component with mounting holes inside that match the external shape of the copper insert, allowing the copper insert to be embedded inside the plastic component 6.
[0068] As a preferred embodiment, the feeding device 1, the plastic part clamping device 2, the plastic part processing device 3, and the unloading device 4 are all mounted on the worktable 7.
[0069] On the workbench 7, a feeding machine 8 and a discharging chute 9 are respectively arranged opposite each other on both sides. The feeding device 1 is close to the feeding machine 8, and the discharging device 4 is close to the discharging chute 9.
[0070] The control unit 5 is located on the outside of the workbench 7 and is independently connected to the corresponding component.
[0071] Multiple plastic parts 6 to be installed are placed in the feeding machine 8. The feeding device 1 picks up the plastic parts 6 from the feeding machine 8. After the unloading device 4 picks up the assembled plastic parts 6, it moves the plastic parts 6 from the unloading trough 9 to the outside.
[0072] As a preferred embodiment, the feeding device 1 includes a vertical feeding robotic arm 101, which can extend and retract in the vertical direction and rotate around its own central axis. A horizontally arranged transverse feeding robotic arm 102 is connected to the upper part of the vertical feeding robotic arm 101. The transverse feeding robotic arm 102 can extend and retract in the horizontal direction, and a feeding gripper 103 is connected to the other end of the transverse feeding robotic arm 102.
[0073] As a preferred embodiment, the unloading device 4 includes a vertical unloading robotic arm 401, which can extend and retract in the vertical direction and rotate around its own central axis. A horizontally arranged transverse unloading robotic arm 402 is connected to the upper part of the vertical unloading robotic arm 401. The transverse unloading robotic arm 402 can extend and retract in the horizontal direction, and a unloading gripper 403 is connected to the other end of the transverse unloading robotic arm 402.
[0074] The loading device 1 and the unloading device 4 rotate and move respectively through their corresponding longitudinal and transverse robotic arms, and grab plastic parts 6 or copper inserts through their corresponding grippers.
[0075] As a preferred option, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the plastic part clamping device 2 includes a rotating disk 201, which is horizontally positioned in the center of the worktable 7 and can rotate circumferentially. A vertically penetrating sliding groove 203 is formed in the center of the rotating disk 201, and a circular lifting hole 202 is formed in the center of the sliding groove 203. A pair of clamping components 204 are slidably installed inside the sliding groove 203. The pair of clamping components 204 are centrally symmetrically distributed about the central axis of the rotating disk 201. When the pair of clamping components 204 approach each other through the sliding groove 203, they can clamp and fix the plastic part 6.
[0076] More preferably, the clamping assembly 204 includes a sliding frame 205; a clamping arm 206 is installed on the upper part of the two sliding frames 205 on the side close to each other. The clamping arm 206 is horizontally arranged and can rotate around its own central axis. A clamping plate 207 is installed at the other end of the clamping arm 206. The plastic part 6 can be clamped in the space formed by the two clamping plates 207.
[0077] When it is necessary to rotate the plastic part 6, the two clamping arms 206 rotate simultaneously and synchronously, thereby driving the two clamping plates 207 and the plastic part 6 to rotate, so that the port of the plastic part 6 is rotated to the correct position.
[0078] More preferably, a connecting frame 208 is provided in the middle of the sliding groove 203, and a first telescopic rod 209 is provided on both sides of the connecting frame 208, and a sliding frame 205 is respectively provided on one side of the corresponding first telescopic rod 209. A rotary drive 210 is provided on one side of the upper part of each sliding frame 205. One end of the rotary drive 210 rotates through the sliding frame 205 and is fixedly connected to the clamping arm 206. Through the rotary drive 210, the clamping arm 206 and the clamping plate 207 are automatically rotated as a whole, further realizing automated control.
[0079] According to conventional selection, the rotary drive 210 can be used as the output shaft of the rotary motor and controlled by the control unit 5. The two rotary drives 210 rotate simultaneously and synchronously to complete the automated rotation of the device.
[0080] As a preferred embodiment, the clamping arm 206 includes a base block 211, one end of which is provided with a rotating groove 212, the bottom of which is designed with a rough surface. An electromagnet 213 is fixedly connected to one end of the base block 211 near the rotating groove 212. A rotating shaft 214 is rotatably installed inside the rotating groove 212. A clamping plate 207 is fixedly connected to the side of the rotating shaft 214. A return spring 215 is fixedly connected inside the rotating shaft 214. A limit groove 216 is formed on the inner wall of the rotating shaft 214. A self-locking block 217 is movably sleeved inside the rotating shaft 214. The other end of the return spring 215 is fixedly connected to the side of the self-locking block 217. A limit plate 218 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the self-locking block 217 at a position corresponding to the rotating shaft 214. The limit plate 218 is slidably installed inside the limit groove 216. The other side of the self-locking block 217 has a rough surface design.
[0081] A limiting groove 216 is provided to limit the limiting plate 218, so that the position of the rotating shaft 214 corresponds to that of the self-locking block 217. This prevents the rotating shaft 214 from rotating on the outer surface of the self-locking block 217 when the self-locking block 217 is fixed. The friction between the rough surface on the side of the self-locking block 217 and the rough surface at the bottom of the rotating groove 212 creates friction, which self-locks the clamping plate 207 and prevents the clamping plate 207 from driving the plastic part 6 to rotate.
[0082] When the electromagnet 213 is energized, it generates a magnetic field, which pulls on the self-locking block 217. The return spring 215 is stretched, causing the self-locking block 217 to adhere to the bottom of the rotating groove 212. Through mutual friction, the self-locking block 217 is prevented from rotating, thus preventing the clamping plate 207 from rotating. When the electromagnet 213 is de-energized, the return spring 215 retracts, causing the self-locking block 217 to retract into the rotating shaft 214. At this time, the clamping plate 207 can rotate inside the rotating groove 212.
[0083] When the electromagnet 213 is not energized and does not generate magnetic attraction, the self-locking block 217 retracts into the rotating shaft 214 through the action of the return spring 215. At this time, the clamping plate 207 can rotate within the rotating groove 212 via the rotating shaft 214. Since the self-locking block 217 can only move laterally within the rotating shaft 214 and cannot rotate on its own, when the electromagnet 213 generates magnetic attraction to the self-locking block 217, the frictional force with the bottom of the rotating groove 212 prevents the clamping plate 207 from rotating due to external influences.
[0084] As a preferred option, such as Figure 6 As shown, the plastic part processing device 3 includes a guide limiting device 301, which is disposed above one side of the rotating disk 201. The guide limiting device 301 includes a support rod 302 connected to an external device. The support rod 302 is connected to a limiting frame 304 via a support plate 303. A pair of positioning shafts 305 are horizontally connected to the limiting frame 304. The pair of positioning shafts 305 form a certain angle between them, and the plastic part 6 can enter the space between the pair of positioning shafts 305 and contact the inner side of the pair of positioning shafts 305. All positioning shafts 305 have a limiting roller 306 on their outer surface that can rotate relative to the positioning shaft (305).
[0085] When the feeding device 1 delivers the plastic part 6 into the positioning shaft 305, if the position is not accurate enough, the limiting roller 306 guides the plastic part 6. At the same time, the rotation of the limiting roller 306 prevents the plastic part 6 from rubbing against the side of the positioning shaft 305 and causing damage to the plastic part 6. At the same time, the friction force straightens the plastic part 6, thus correcting its deviation.
[0086] To prevent insufficient rotation angle accuracy from causing the plastic part's port 6 to tilt, a contact sensor 312 is installed on the surface of the lifting platform 307 to detect the port of the plastic part. When the detection area is smaller than the side area of the port, the lifting hydraulic telescopic rod 310 will continue to extend, and the lifting platform 307 will rise. Due to the uneven force when the port is tilted, the rotating shaft 214 on the side of the clamping plate 207 will rotate inside the rotating groove 212, so that the port of the plastic part is in complete contact with the surface of the contact sensor 312. Subsequently, the contact sensor 312 transmits an electrical signal to the control system, which activates the electromagnet 213 to move the self-locking block 217 to the bottom of the rotating groove 212 for adsorption. The friction between the rough surface on the side of the self-locking block 217 and the rough surface at the bottom of the rotating groove 212 creates a frictional force, which self-locks the clamping plate 207, preventing the clamping plate 207 from rotating the plastic part, thereby ensuring that the port of the plastic part to be heated is heated evenly.
[0087] As a preferred option, such as Figure 3 As shown, the plastic part processing device 3 also includes a lifting platform 307, the shape of which matches the specifications of the lifting hole 202.
[0088] The lower part of the lifting platform 307 has a lifting groove 308, and the lower end of the lifting platform 307 is connected to a support frame 309. The lower end of the support frame 309 is connected to a second telescopic rod 310. The connecting frame 208 passes through the space formed by the support frame 309 and the lifting groove 308, allowing the lifting platform 307 to move vertically within the lifting hole 202 through this space. A heating plate 311 is provided on the top of the lifting platform 307, and a tactile sensor 312 is provided on the top of the heating plate 311.
[0089] The position of the plastic part 6 in the vertical direction is changed by the lifting platform 307. The tactile sensor 312 is used to detect whether the plastic part 6 is placed in place. After it is placed in place, the heating plate 311 heats the port of the plastic part 6.
[0090] As a preferred embodiment, the control unit 5 is provided with a human-machine interface 501 on its surface. The operator inputs the corresponding parameters on the human-machine interface 501 to complete the parameter settings of the entire device.
[0091] A specific workflow of the present invention is as follows: Step 1: The operator operates the human-machine interface 501 and inputs the corresponding program according to the actual specifications of the plastic part 6.
[0092] Step 2: Control unit 5 controls the feeding device 1 to pick up the plastic part 6 from the feeding machine 8 and move it to the lifting platform 307, so that the midpoint of the barrel-shaped part of the plastic part 6 to be installed with the copper insert is aligned with the midpoint of the rotating disk 201; after the movement is completed, the feeding device 1 is moved away.
[0093] Step 3: After the tactile sensor 312 detects the plastic part 6, it sends feedback to the control unit 5. The control unit 5 controls the lifting platform 307 to rise, and at the same time controls the external device to push the guide limit device 301 to the position of the plastic part 6. The plastic part 6 is corrected by the rotation of the limit roller 306. After the correction is completed, the control unit 5 controls the guide limit device 301 to return to its original position.
[0094] Step 4: Control unit 5 controls plastic part clamping device 2 to clamp and fix plastic part 6. After it is firmly clamped, control unit 5 controls heating plate 311 to heat the port of plastic part 6 until the specified temperature is reached.
[0095] Step 5: Control unit 5 controls the lifting platform 307 to descend and the plastic part clamping device 2 to flip; the flipping stops when the plastic part 6 ends are facing upwards.
[0096] Step 6: Control unit 5 controls feeding device 1 to clamp the copper insert and embed it into the port of plastic part 6. After the installation of the copper insert is completed, feeding device 1 is removed, lifting platform 307 is raised to a position that can support plastic part 6, and plastic part clamping device 2 no longer clamps plastic part 6.
[0097] Step 7: Control unit 5 controls unloading device 4 to clamp plastic part 6 and move it to unloading trough 9, so that the installed plastic part 6 is transported from unloading trough 9 to external device, and at the same time the lifting platform 307 is lowered.
[0098] Step 8: Repeat steps 2 through 7 until all copper inserts that need to be assembled are assembled.
[0099] The above workflow represents only one specific scenario in actual work. In practice, the shape of the plastic part 6 varies depending on the required workpiece shape. For example... Figure 1 As shown, plastic part 6 is a component made up of two cylindrical structures joined together. When using it, the corresponding program is input according to the specific specifications of plastic part 6, so that the two ends of plastic part 6 are fully heated in sequence and then installed together with the copper insert.
