Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of intelligent toilet production line technology, and in particular to an integrated assembly and testing production line for intelligent toilets. Background Technology

[0002] With rapid economic development and increased consumer emphasis on quality of life, smart bathroom fixtures are entering more and more homes. Smart toilets, as a prime example, are gaining popularity in homes and high-end hotels due to their health, comfort, and hygiene features. The production process of a smart toilet involves assembling the motor mechanism and subjecting it to safety, electrical performance, and aging tests. Only after passing these tests is the motor mechanism assembled with the lid and ceramic base.

[0003] In the existing smart toilet production process, the assembly process and the testing process are generally completed separately. In particular, the aging test of the core is usually carried out through a test bench that is separate from the assembly line. The testing process is as follows: the assembled core is first taken off the assembly line, and then it is transferred to the test bench for offline testing. The test bench requires manual intervention, power supply, testing and recording. Finally, the core that has passed the test is put back on the assembly line.

[0004] The above-mentioned production process has the following main defects: First, the assembly and testing processes are separated. The assembled movement needs to be transported to an independent testing platform for offline testing, which not only leads to low production efficiency but also easily damages the product during the transportation process. Second, the quality control of the movement products mainly relies on manual testing by assembly workers. For example, water temperature and air temperature are confirmed by touch to determine whether they are qualified. This confirmation method cannot accurately judge performance indicators such as heating response speed and temperature uniformity during the heating cycle, resulting in many defective products entering the market. Third, after the movement products are tested, the water in the product components and pipes can only be removed by manually blowing compressed air. During the air blowing and drainage process, the air pressure is uncontrolled and the product has no protective measures, resulting in some products being damaged by compressed air during the air blowing and drainage process. Summary of the Invention

[0030] The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present invention may include the following beneficial effects:

[0031] 1. The production line consists of sequentially connected assembly lines for the toilet's internal components, safety testing, aging testing, and final assembly. The internal component assembly line assembles the internal components of the smart toilet. The safety testing line performs electrical performance tests on the components. Components that pass the safety testing are then assembled with testing fixtures by assembly workers at a preparation station before entering the aging testing line. Components that pass the aging test proceed to the final assembly line, where they are assembled with the lid, ceramic base, and other parts to complete the smart toilet assembly. Components that fail the aging test are removed from the line for rework. This integrates smart toilet assembly and testing. Combining the assembly and testing lines into a single production line effectively avoids the separation of assembly and testing during smart toilet production, significantly reducing the workload of assembly workers, saving time on component transfers, and lowering the damage rate of components.

[0032] 2. When the motor mechanism that has passed the safety and electrical performance tests needs to undergo aging tests, the test fixture assembling the motor mechanism first enters the aging test line via a conveyor chain. Then, a lifting and transfer machine lifts the test fixture and separates it from the conveyor chain. The test fixture is then transported from above the conveyor chain to the aging test station for aging testing. Furthermore, multiple independent aging test stations are arranged side-by-side on one side of the conveyor chain, effectively preventing "traffic jams" on the production line and improving the production efficiency and testing accuracy of smart toilets.

[0050] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0051] This technical solution provides an integrated assembly and testing production line for smart toilets, including a core assembly line 1, a safety testing line 2, an aging testing line 3, and a complete assembly line 4 connected end to end. A testing preparation station 5 is provided between the safety testing line 2 and the aging testing line 3, and the testing preparation station 5 is used to assemble the core 6 and the testing fixture 7. A defective product removal station 8 is provided between the aging testing line 3 and the complete assembly line 4, and the defective product removal station 8 is used to remove cores 6 that fail the aging test.

[0052] The aging test line 3 includes a conveyor chain 31, aging test stations 32, and lifting and transferring machines 33; the test fixture 7, which assembles the core 6, is movably disposed on the conveying surface of the conveyor chain 31, and the conveyor chain 31 is used to convey the test fixture 7 assembled with the core 6; multiple aging test stations 32 are provided, and multiple aging test stations 32 are arranged side by side on one side of the conveyor chain 31; multiple lifting and transferring machines 33 are provided, and multiple lifting and transferring machines 33 are arranged side by side in the middle of the conveyor chain 31, with one aging test station 32 corresponding to one lifting and transferring machine 33;

[0053] The top of the lifting transfer machine 33 can protrude and retract from the conveying surface of the conveyor chain 31. The lifting transfer machine 33 is used to transport the test fixture 7 with the assembled core 6 from the conveyor chain 31 to the aging test station 32.

[0054] This technical solution addresses the technical problem of separating assembly and testing in existing smart toilet manufacturing processes by proposing an integrated assembly and testing production line for smart toilets. Figure 1-9 As shown, the system includes a sequentially connected assembly line 1 for the core components, a safety testing line 2, an aging testing line 3, and a complete assembly line 4. The core component assembly line 1 assembles the core components 6 of the smart toilet. The safety testing line 2 performs safety and electrical performance tests on the core components 6. Core components 6 that pass the safety and electrical performance tests are then assembled by assembly workers at the inspection preparation station 5 with the testing fixture 7 before entering the aging testing line 3 for aging tests. Core components 6 that pass the aging test then enter the complete assembly line 4 to complete the assembly of the smart toilet with parts such as the top cover and ceramic base. Core components 6 that fail the aging test are removed from the line at the defective product removal station 8 for rework, thus achieving integrated production of smart toilet assembly and testing.

[0055] Specifically, the aging test line 3 includes a conveyor chain 31, an aging test station 32, and a lifting and transfer machine 33; the aging test station 32 is located on one side of the conveyor chain 31. When the mechanism 6 that has passed the safety and electrical performance test needs to undergo aging testing, the test fixture 7 assembled with the mechanism 6 first enters the aging test line 3 via the conveyor chain 31, and then the lifting and transfer machine 33 lifts the test fixture 7 and separates it from the conveyor chain 31. Then, the test fixture 7 is transported from above the conveyor chain 31 to the aging test station 32 for aging testing.

[0056] This solution merges the assembly line and the testing line into a single production line, effectively avoiding the separation of assembly and testing during the production of smart toilets. This reduces the workload of assembly workers, saves the transfer time of the core components, and lowers the damage rate of the core components. In addition, multiple independent aging test stations 32 are arranged side by side on one side of the conveyor chain 31, which effectively prevents the testing line from becoming congested, thus improving the production efficiency and testing accuracy of smart toilets.

[0057] Furthermore, the aging test line 3 also includes a lifting baffle and a positioning detector, wherein the positioning detector is electrically connected to the lifting baffle;

[0058] Multiple lifting baffles are provided, and the multiple lifting baffles are installed at intervals on the conveyor chain 31. Each lifting baffle corresponds to a lifting transfer machine 33. The lifting baffle is located at the front end of the lifting transfer machine 33 along the conveying direction of the conveyor chain 31. The lifting baffle is used to protrude and retract from the conveying surface of the conveyor chain 31.

[0059] The positioning detector is installed at the front end of the aging test station 32, and the positioning detector is used to detect the positioning status of the test fixture 7 assembled with the core 6.

[0060] To enhance the intelligence of the production line, this solution also equips the aging test line 3 with a lifting baffle (not shown in the figure) and a position detector (not shown in the figure) between the conveyor chain 31 and the aging test station 32. When the test fixture 7 reaches the vicinity of an idle aging test station 32, its position can be detected by the position detector installed at the front end of the aging test station 32. Then, the lifting baffle electrically connected to the position detector will protrude from the conveying surface of the conveyor chain 31, blocking the test fixture 7 from continuing to move forward, so that the lifting transfer machine 33 corresponding to the aging test station 32 can transport the test fixture 7 to the aging test station 32 for aging testing.

[0061] It should be noted that the position detector in this solution can be a photoelectric sensor, and there is no limitation on it.

[0062] To further explain, the lifting and transferring machine 33 includes a first mounting frame 331 and a conveyor belt 332; the first mounting frame 331 is mounted on the bottom of the conveyor chain 31, and the conveyor belt 332 is mounted on the top of the first mounting frame 331 in a vertically movable manner, and the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 332 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveyor chain 31.

[0063] In a preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the lifting and transfer machine 33 includes a first mounting frame 331 and a conveyor belt 332. The conveyor belt 332 is movably mounted on the top of the first mounting frame 331 so that the top of the conveyor belt 332 can protrude and retract within the conveying surface of the conveyor chain 31, and the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 332 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveyor chain 31, which facilitates the turning and conveying of the test fixture 7.

[0064] Furthermore, the lifting and transferring machine 33 also includes a first driver 333 and a guide rod 334;

[0065] The first driver 333 is installed between the first mounting frame 331 and the conveyor belt 332, and the output end of the first driver 333 is connected to the conveyor belt 332. The first driver 333 is used to drive the conveyor belt 332 to move up and down.

[0066] The guide rod 334 is installed between the first mounting frame 331 and the conveyor belt 332, and the top of the guide rod 334 is fixedly connected to the conveyor belt 332, while the bottom of the guide rod 334 passes through the first mounting frame 331 and is movably connected to the first mounting frame 331.

[0067] As a preferred embodiment of the above, this solution drives the conveyor belt 332 to move up and down through the first driver 333, and ensures the stability of the conveyor belt 332's up and down movement through the guide rod 334, thereby helping to ensure the effective realization of the lifting and conveying functions of the lifting and transferring machine 33.

[0068] It should be noted that the first driver 333 in this solution can be a driving cylinder, which is not limited here.

[0069] To further explain, at least four guide rods 334 are provided, and the four guide rods 334 are evenly distributed around the first driver 333.

[0070] To further explain, the aging test station 32 includes an aging test bench 321 and a visual recognition device 322. The visual recognition device 322 is installed above the aging test bench 321, and the detection end of the visual recognition device 322 is aligned with the installation position of the aging test bench 321.

[0071] The aging test bench 321 is used to install and assemble the test fixture 7 of the movement 6 and to perform aging tests on the movement 6; the visual recognition device 322 is used to capture images of the movement 6.

[0072] In the current technology for aging tests on the core mechanism 6 of a smart toilet, data such as water temperature, air outlet temperature, and water volume during core mechanism 6 cleaning are generally collected. Based on this data, the system judges whether the functions of the smart toilet, such as bidet, drying, and feminine wash, can be performed normally. However, it often overlooks the problems that may occur in the core mechanism 6 during operation due to aging, such as water leakage, yellowing of pipes, and damage.

[0073] Therefore, to make the aging test of the smart toilet more comprehensive and accurate, this solution adds a visual recognition 322 for capturing images of the mechanism 6 in the aging test station 32. In some embodiments, the visual recognition 322 can take a set of images before the test fixture 7 enters the aging test station 32 and before leaving the aging test station 32. By comparing specific areas (such as pipe connections) in the two sets of images and combining them with existing algorithms, the system can identify whether there are problems such as water leakage, pipe yellowing, and damage in that area, thereby improving the accuracy of the aging test of the smart toilet.

[0074] To further explain, the aging test bench 321 includes a mounting base 3211, a testing base 3212, and an aging test system. The mounting base 3211 is installed inside the testing base 3212, and the mounting base 3211 is used to install the test fixture 7 for assembling the movement 6. The aging test system is connected to the testing base 3212, and the aging test system is used to perform aging tests on the movement 6 through the testing base 3212.

[0075] The testing base 3212 includes a testing frame 32121, an electrical connection base 32122, and a water / gas connection base 32123; the electrical connection base 32122 and the water / gas connection base 32123 are respectively installed on both sides of the testing frame 32121, and both the electrical connection base 32122 and the water / gas connection base 32123 are located at the rear end of the mounting base 3211;

[0076] The test fixture 7 includes a mounting base plate 71, a fixture plate 72, an electrical connector 73, and a water / air connector 74. The fixture plate 72 is mounted on the front end of the mounting base plate 71 and is used to mount the movement 6. The electrical connector 73 and the water / air connector 74 are respectively mounted on the rear ends of the mounting base plate 71. The electrical connector 73 is used to connect the electrical interface of the movement 6 to the electrical connector 32122, and the aging test system is used to supply power to the movement 6 through the electrical connector 32122 and the electrical connector 73. The water / air connector 74 is used to connect the water / air interface of the movement 6 to the water / air connector 32123, and the aging test system is used to supply water and air to the movement 6 through the water / air connector 32123 and the water / air connector 74.

[0077] The test stand 3212 also includes a test bracket 32124, a thermometer, and a weighing gauge, and the thermometer and the weighing gauge are electrically connected to the aging test system; the test bracket 32124 is located above the rear end of the test frame 32121, and the thermometer and the weighing gauge are installed at the front end of the test bracket 32124, and the thermometer is used to detect the water temperature and air outlet temperature of the core 6, and the weighing gauge is used to detect the amount of water when the core 6 is cleaned.

[0078] Because the aging test process of existing smart toilet core 6 is generally carried out by manual intervention, such as manual takeover, power-on, testing and recording, the efficiency and accuracy of its aging test are difficult to guarantee.

[0079] Therefore, to improve the intelligence level of the aging test process of the smart toilet core 6, this solution proposes an aging test bench 321 for intelligent online detection of the core 6. The aging test bench 321 includes a mounting base 3211 for assembling the test fixture 7 containing the core 6, and an aging test system (not shown in the figure) for performing aging detection on the core 6 through a detection base 3212. It should be noted that the aging test system in this solution is an existing intelligent control system for aging tests of the smart toilet core 6. It can supply power to the core 6, provide the water and air required during the aging test, and analyze various data during the aging test using existing algorithms to determine whether the core 6 has passed the aging test.

[0080] Specifically, in order to save time for manual connection, this solution has made structural improvements to the test seat 3212 in the aging test bench 321 and the test fixture seat 7 for installing the core 6 to be tested, thereby realizing the rapid connection of the circuit, water circuit and air circuit between the aging test system and the core 6, so as to improve the detection efficiency of the aging test process.

[0081] More specifically, in order to improve the detection accuracy during the aging test, this solution also adds a thermometer for detecting the water temperature and air temperature of the core 6 and a weighing meter for detecting the amount of water during the cleaning of the core 6 in the test base 3212, and connects the thermometer and the weighing meter to the aging test system to realize the automatic acquisition of various test data in the aging test system, thereby improving the detection accuracy during the aging test.

[0082] Preferably, the detection seat 3212 further includes a sliding cylinder 32125. Two sliding cylinders 32125 are provided, and the two sliding cylinders 32125 are respectively installed on both sides of the detection frame 32121 and located at the rear end of the mounting seat 3211.

[0083] A sliding cylinder 32125 is installed between the detection frame 32121 and the electrical connection seat 32122. The electrical connection seat 32122 can move closer to and further away from the mounting seat 3211 via the sliding cylinder 32125.

[0084] Another sliding cylinder 32125 is installed between the detection frame 32121 and the water-air connection seat 32123. The water-air connection seat 32123 can move closer to and further away from the mounting seat 3211 through the sliding cylinder 32125.

[0085] Furthermore, in order to achieve automatic connection and disconnection of the circuit, water circuit and air circuit between the aging test system and the core 6, this solution also adds a sliding cylinder 32125 to the test seat 3212, so that the electrical connection seat 32122 can move closer to and away from the mounting seat 3211 through the sliding cylinder 32125, and at the same time, the water and air connection seat 32123 can move closer to and away from the mounting seat 3211 through the sliding cylinder 32125.

[0086] When the electrical connector 32122 approaches the mounting base 3211 via the sliding cylinder 32125, the electrical connector 32122 is connected to the electrical connector 73, enabling the aging test system to supply power to the movement 6; when the water-air connector 32123 approaches the mounting base 3211 via the sliding cylinder 32125, the water-air connector 32123 is connected to the water-air connector 74, enabling the aging test system to supply water and air to the movement 6.

[0087] When the electrical connector 32122 moves away from the mounting base 3211 via the sliding cylinder 32125, the electrical connector 32122 and the electrical connector 73 are not connected, thus cutting off the circuit between the aging test system and the mechanism 6; when the water-air connector 32123 moves away from the mounting base 3211 via the sliding cylinder 32125, the water-air connector 32123 and the water-air connector 74 are not connected, thus cutting off the water and air circuits between the aging test system and the mechanism 6.

[0088] To further explain, the aging test system includes a water supply port 32141, a constant pressure air supply port 32142, and a three-way valve 32143. The three-way valve 32143 includes a first interface, a second interface, and a third interface. The first interface is connected to the water supply port 32141, the second interface is connected to the constant pressure air supply port 32142, and the third interface is connected to the water-air connection seat 32123.

[0089] In a preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the water supply port 32141 and the constant pressure air supply port 32142 of the aging test system share a water-air connection seat 32123 through a three-way valve 32143, which makes the structural arrangement of the test seat 3212 in the aging test bench 321 and the test fixture seat 7 for installing the core 6 to be tested simpler and more compact.

[0090] Specifically, when the mechanism 6 requires water supply, the first and third ports of the three-way valve 32143 are connected to each other, and the water supply port 32141 can be connected to the water-air connection seat 32123 through the three-way valve 32143 to achieve water circuit connection. When the mechanism requires air blowing and drainage, the second and third ports of the three-way valve 32143 are connected to each other, and the constant pressure air supply port 32142 can be connected to the water-air connection seat 32123 through the three-way valve 32143 to achieve air circuit connection.

[0091] In addition, since the constant pressure air supply port 32142 in the aging test system of this solution provides compressed air for constant pressure treatment, it helps to ensure that the core 6 is not damaged during the water blowing and exhaust process, thereby further reducing the damage rate of the core 6.

[0092] Preferably, a switching valve 32144 and a one-way valve 32145 are also provided between the water supply port 32141 and the first interface, and between the constant pressure air supply port 32142 and the second interface.

[0093] As a preferred embodiment of the above, this solution also provides a switching valve 32144 and a one-way valve 32145 between the water circuit and the air circuit to prevent water and air from crossing the circuit and to ensure the normal progress of the aging test process.

[0094] Furthermore, the aging test bench 321 also includes a lifting receiving machine 3213;

[0095] The lifting receiving machine 3213 includes a second mounting frame 32131 and a receiving belt 32132; the second mounting frame 32131 is mounted on the bottom of the mounting base 3211, and the receiving belt 32132 is movably mounted on the top of the second mounting frame 32131, and the receiving plane of the receiving belt 32132 can protrude and retract from the mounting plane of the mounting base 3211, and the conveying direction of the receiving belt 32132 is parallel to the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 332.

[0096] In another preferred embodiment of this technical solution, in order to ensure the effective installation of the test fixture 7 for assembling the core 6 on the mounting base 3211 and to ensure the effective conduct of the aging test process, this solution also adds a lifting receiving machine 3213 to the aging test bench 321.

[0097] Specifically, the test fixture 7, which is conveyed from above the conveyor chain 31 to the aging test station 32, is first received by the receiving belt 32132, which protrudes from the mounting plane of the mounting base 3211, and conveyed into the interior of the test base 3212. Then, the receiving belt 32132 moves downward and retracts to the mounting plane of the mounting base 3211, so that the test fixture 7 is placed on the mounting plane of the mounting base 3211, thus completing the installation of the test fixture 7 on the mounting base 3211.

[0098] Furthermore, the lifting receiving machine 3213 also includes a second driver 32133 and a guide rod 32134;

[0099] The second driver 32133 is installed between the second mounting frame 32131 and the receiving belt 32132, and the output end of the second driver 32133 is connected to the receiving belt 32132. The second driver 32133 is used to drive the receiving belt 32132 to move up and down.

[0100] The guide rod 32134 is installed between the second mounting frame 32131 and the receiving belt 32132, and the top of the guide rod 32134 is fixedly connected to the receiving belt 32132, while the bottom of the guide rod 32134 passes through the second mounting frame 32131 and is movably connected to the second mounting frame 32131.

[0101] As a preferred embodiment of the above, this solution drives the receiving belt 32132 to move up and down through the second driver 32133, and ensures the stability of the up and down movement of the receiving belt 32132 through the guide rod 32134, thereby helping to ensure the effective realization of the lifting and conveying functions of the lifting receiving machine 3213.

[0102] It should be noted that the second driver 32133 in this solution can be a driving cylinder, which is not limited here.

[0103] Preferably, at least four guide rods 32134 are provided, and the four guide rods 32134 are evenly distributed around the second driver 32133.

[0104] Preferably, the testing frame 32121 includes a first stop arm 32121a, a mounting arm 32121b, and a second stop arm 32121c. The first stop arm 32121a, the mounting arm 32121b, and the second stop arm 32121c are connected end to end in sequence and together form a U-shaped testing area. The testing area is used to accommodate the test fixture 7.

[0105] As another preferred embodiment, the test frame 32121 of this solution forms a U-shaped test area, which helps to prevent the test fixture 7 from detaching from the interior of the test fixture 3212, thereby ensuring the smooth progress of the aging test process and reducing the damage rate of the movement 6.

[0106] Preferably, the detection seat 3212 further includes a positioning sensor 32126, which is electrically connected to the receiving belt 32132. The positioning sensor 32126 is installed at the rear end of the mounting seat 3211 and is used to detect the positioning status of the test fixture 7 assembled with the core 6.

[0107] Furthermore, the detection seat 3212 of this solution also includes a positioning sensor 32126 electrically connected to the receiving belt 32132. When the positioning sensor 32126 detects that the test fixture seat 7 has been conveyed to the position by the receiving belt 32132, the receiving belt 32132 electrically connected to the positioning sensor 32126 stops running to prevent the test fixture seat 7 from continuing to move forward.

[0108] Preferably, the detection seat 3212 further includes a positioning baffle 32127, which is installed between the mounting seat 3211 and the mounting arm 32121b, and the positioning baffle 32127 protrudes from the inner sidewall of the mounting arm 32121b. The positioning baffle 32127 is used to block the movement of the test fixture seat 7.

[0109] Furthermore, the test fixture 3212 of this solution also includes a positioning baffle 32127. The positioning baffle 32127 installed between the mounting base 3211 and the mounting arm 32121b can prevent the test fixture 7 from continuing to move forward due to inertia or the failure of the receiving belt 32132 to stop in time, thereby preventing damage to the test fixture 7 or even the mechanism 6.
