[0003] like Figure 1-2 The lamp holder shown includes a ceramic base 101, a fixing plate 102, and two conductive terminals 103. The fixing plate 102 has holes for mounting the ceramic base 101, while the ceramic base 101 has holes for mounting the two conductive terminals 103. The fixing plate 102 has an elastic piece 104 that engages with a protruding retainer 105 on the ceramic base 101. During assembly, the elastic piece 104 must be engaged with the retainer 105 to form the lamp holder. Typically, the ceramic base 101 and the fixing plate 102 are assembled first, and then the two conductive terminals 103 are assembled into the holes on the ceramic base 101.

[0004] Currently, the production of these lamp holders mainly relies on manual assembly, resulting in low production efficiency and difficulty in guaranteeing product qualification rates. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Based on the above description, the present invention provides an automatic assembly equipment for ceramic lamp holders to solve the problems of low production efficiency and difficulty in guaranteeing product qualification rate in related technologies that rely on manual assembly of lamp holders.

[0006] The technical solution of the present invention to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:

[0007] This application provides an automatic assembly device for ceramic lamp holders, and the technical solution adopted is as follows:

[0008] An automatic assembly device for ceramic lamp holders, comprising:

[0009] Workbench;

[0010] A turntable is provided on the workbench and is horizontally arranged. The turntable can rotate around a vertical first axis. The turntable is provided with an assembly base for supporting the fixing piece.

[0011] The workbench is provided with a fixed sheet feeding device, a ceramic seat feeding and assembly device, a first terminal feeding and assembly device, and a second terminal feeding and assembly device arranged circumferentially along a first axis. The fixed sheet feeding device is used to install a fixed sheet on the assembly base. The ceramic seat feeding and assembly device is used to assemble a ceramic seat onto a fixed sheet on the assembly base. The first terminal feeding and assembly device and the second terminal feeding and assembly device are used to assemble two terminals onto a ceramic seat on the assembly base. The workbench is also adapted to transfer the semi-finished product assembled in the previous assembly process to the next process by rotating the turntable.

[0012] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows.

[0013] Preferably, the top of the assembly base is provided with a positioning groove for embedding the fixing piece. When the fixing piece is embedded in the positioning groove, it is in a horizontal state and is restricted from moving vertically downward. The top of the assembly base is provided with a receiving cavity for accommodating the ceramic seat that passes through the fixing piece.

[0014] Preferably, the fixed sheet feeding device includes:

[0015] First vibratory plate;

[0016] The first gripper is used to grip the fixed plate output by the first vibratory plate and place it in the positioning groove.

[0017] Preferably, the ceramic seat loading and assembly device includes:

[0018] Second vibratory plate;

[0019] The second gripper is used to grip the ceramic seat output by the second vibratory plate and assemble the ceramic seat vertically onto the fixing plate on the assembly base.

[0020] Preferably, the first terminal feeding and assembly device includes:

[0021] The third vibratory feeder is used to output the terminals in a horizontal position.

[0022] The first terminal assembly mechanism includes a third gripper and a fourth gripper. The third gripper is used to grip the terminal output by the third vibratory plate and rotate the terminal to a vertical position. The fourth gripper is used to grip the terminal rotated to a vertical position and assemble the terminal into a ceramic seat on the assembly base in a vertical direction.

[0023] Preferably, it also includes a correction device on the workbench, which is located at the rear end of the second terminal feeding and assembly device, for correcting the two terminals of the product assembled by the second terminal feeding and assembly device to a vertical state, and for engaging the elastic plate of the fixing plate with the slot of the ceramic seat.

[0024] Preferably, the calibration device includes a first calibration member disposed above the turntable. The first calibration member is vertically movable and connected to the worktable. The first calibration member is used to insert between the portions of the two protruding ceramic seats of the terminals and, when moving, drives the portions of the two protruding ceramic seats of the terminals to rotate to a vertical state.

[0025] Preferably, the first calibration element includes a truncated cone-shaped calibration block, the axis of which is vertical and the diameter gradually decreases from top to bottom.

[0026] Preferably, the receiving cavity extends vertically through the assembly base, and the turntable has a through hole that extends vertically and communicates with the receiving cavity. The correction device further includes a second correction component located below the turntable. The second correction component is vertically movable and connected to the worktable. The top of the second correction component has two correction plates spaced horizontally. The second correction component can move upward until the correction plates are received in the receiving cavity, and the two correction plates are located on both sides of the ceramic base where the retainer is located. The second correction component is used to cooperate with the first correction component so that when the second correction component moves upward, the two correction plates drive the un-engaged elastic plate upward until it engages with the retainer on the ceramic base.

[0027] Preferably, it also includes a feeding device disposed on the workbench, which is located at the workstation at the rear end of the correction device, for removing the product processed by the correction device from the assembly base.

[0028] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0029] 1. This application involves setting a rotatable turntable on a workbench, and sequentially arranging a fixed sheet feeding device, a ceramic seat feeding and assembly device, a first terminal feeding and assembly device, and a second terminal feeding and assembly device on the workbench. The fixed sheet feeding device places fixed sheets one by one onto the assembly seats on the turntable. The turntable rotates, transferring the fixed sheets from the assembly seats to the next process, namely the ceramic seat feeding and assembly device. The ceramic seat feeding and assembly device then assembles the ceramic seats onto the fixed sheets on the assembly seats. The turntable continues to rotate, transferring the fixed sheets and ceramic seats to the next process, namely the first terminal feeding and assembly device. The first terminal feeding and assembly device then... Assemble the first terminal onto the ceramic base, the turntable continues to rotate, transferring the semi-finished product to the second terminal feeding and assembly device. The second terminal feeding and assembly device assembles the second terminal onto the ceramic base, thus completing the assembly of the four components of the lamp holder. The rotation of the turntable facilitates the transfer of components and semi-finished products. The assembly of each part is completed in sequence through the fixed plate feeding device, the ceramic base feeding and assembly device, the first terminal feeding and assembly device, and the second terminal feeding and assembly device. Finally, the assembled product is removed from the assembly base, which improves the assembly efficiency of the lamp holder, ensures the consistency of the assembled product, and increases the pass rate of the lamp holder product.

[0030] 2. This application addresses the issue of terminal tilting and misalignment of the elastic plate and the mounting bracket after the lamp holder is assembled by the second terminal feeding assembly device. The first and second corrective components address this problem. The first corrective component can move vertically above the turntable. As it moves downwards between the protruding ceramic bases of the two terminals, its diameter gradually decreases from top to bottom. This downward movement drives the two terminals to rotate away from each other until they reach a vertical position, thus completing the terminal correction. The second corrective component is located below the turntable, which has a through hole for it to pass through. The second corrective component can move upwards until the corrective plate passes through the through hole and enters the receiving cavity from the bottom of the assembly base. The second correction component can be moved to position the two correction pieces on either side of the ceramic base where the retaining plate is located. When the first correction component moves downward to abut against the ceramic base, the ceramic base is restricted from moving upward. At this time, the second correction component can move upward until the two correction pieces are located on either side of the ceramic base where the retaining plate is located. During the movement, the correction pieces abut against the elastic pieces that are not yet engaged with the fixing plate. As the correction pieces move upward, the elastic pieces move upward until they are located between the retaining plate and the fixing plate of the ceramic base. At this time, the elastic pieces engage with the retaining plate under the action of elasticity, thereby completing the correction of the engagement structure of the ceramic base and the fixing plate. The correction device can make the components of each lamp holder fit together, thereby improving the quality of the lamp holder products, reducing the defect rate, and improving the consistency of product quality.

[0047] Reference Figure 1-9As shown in the figure, this application provides an automatic ceramic lamp holder assembly device, which includes a workbench 1 and a turntable 2, a fixing piece feeding device 3, a ceramic holder feeding and assembly device 4, a first terminal feeding and assembly device 5, and a second terminal feeding and assembly device 6 disposed on the workbench 1. The workbench 1 includes a horizontal table surface, and the turntable 2 is disposed above the table surface and is horizontally arranged. The turntable 2 can rotate around a vertical first rotation axis, and the turntable 2 is provided with an assembly seat 9 for supporting the fixing piece 102. The fixing piece feeding device 3 is used to install the fixing piece 102 onto the assembly seat 9. The ceramic seat feeding and assembly device 4 is used to assemble the ceramic seat 101 onto the fixing piece 102 on the assembly base 9. The first terminal feeding and assembly device 5 and the second terminal feeding and assembly device 6 are used to assemble two terminals 103 onto the ceramic seat 101 on the assembly base 9. The fixing piece feeding device 3, the ceramic seat feeding and assembly device 4, the first terminal feeding and assembly device 5 and the second terminal feeding and assembly device 6 are arranged circumferentially along the first axis and are suitable for transferring the semi-finished product assembled in the previous assembly process to the next process by rotating the turntable 2.

[0048] Reference Figure 1 As shown, specifically, the turntable 2 is disc-shaped and its axis is coaxial with the first rotating shaft. The turntable 2 is rotatably connected to the worktable 1 with its axis as the rotating shaft. The worktable 1 is provided with a flow drive mechanism for driving the turntable 2 to rotate. Specifically, a motor can be used as the power to drive the turntable 2 to rotate. The output shaft of the motor passes through the table surface of the worktable 1 and is fixedly connected to the turntable 2.

[0049] Reference Figure 3-4 As shown, the assembly base 9 is mounted on the turntable 2 and close to the edge of the turntable 2. To facilitate the assembly of the lamp holder, a positioning groove 91 is provided on the top of the assembly base 9 for the fixing piece 102 to be inserted. When the fixing piece 102 is inserted into the positioning groove 91, it is in a horizontal state and is restricted to move vertically downward. At the same time, a receiving cavity 92 is provided on the top of the assembly base 9, which is used to receive the ceramic seat 101 that passes through the fixing piece 102. Correspondingly, the receiving cavity 92 and the positioning groove 91 are connected. In this way, the fixing piece feeding device 3 only needs to place the fixing piece 102 into the positioning groove 91, and then the ceramic seat feeding assembly device 4 can directly pass the ceramic seat 101 from top to bottom through the hole on the fixing piece 102 to complete the assembly of the ceramic seat 101 and the fixing piece 102.

[0050] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the fixed sheet feeding device 3 includes a first vibrating plate 31 and a first gripper 32, which are used to output the fixed sheets 102 one by one in a horizontal state. The first gripper 32 is used to clamp the fixed sheets 102 output by the first vibrating plate 31 and keep them in the positioning groove 91.

[0051] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, specifically, the first vibratory plate 31 is mounted on a support next to the workbench 1, and its discharge end extends close to the turntable 2. The first gripper 32 is located above the turntable 2 and can move vertically and horizontally towards or away from the axis of the turntable 2. In this way, the first gripper 32 can move away from the axis of the turntable 2 to the discharge end of the first vibratory plate 31 to grip the fixed piece 102, and then move close to the axis of the turntable 2 to the top of the assembly base 9 and move downward to put the fixed piece 102 into the positioning groove 91.

[0052] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, when the first gripper 32 grips the fixed piece 102, its two gripping arms pass through the holes on the fixed piece 102 and move away from each other to grip the fixed piece 102. To facilitate the first gripper 32 gripping the fixed piece 102, a fixed piece 102 transfer seat 33 is provided on the worktable 1 at the output end of the first vibrating plate 31. It is mounted on the worktable 1 by a bracket and can move horizontally. The direction of movement is perpendicular to the horizontal movement direction of the first gripper 32. The transfer seat 33 has a transfer groove 331. The transfer seat 33 can be moved until the transfer groove 331 connects with the output end of the first vibrating plate 31. The fixed piece 102 output from the first vibrating plate 31 can enter the transfer groove 331. Then, the transfer seat 33 is moved until the transfer groove 331 is below the horizontal movement path of the first gripper 32 to facilitate the first gripper 32 gripping the fixed piece 102 from the transfer seat 33. This setting allows the relative position of the first gripper 32 and the fixing piece 102 in the horizontal plane to be adjusted arbitrarily, so that the first gripper 32 can more easily grip the fixing piece 102.

[0053] In this embodiment, the vertical and horizontal movement of the first gripper 32 and the horizontal movement of the central pivot 33 are both driven by a cylinder.

[0054] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 6As shown, the ceramic seat loading and assembly device 4 further includes a second vibrating plate 41 and a second gripper 42. The second gripper 42 is used to grip the ceramic seat 101 output by the second vibrating plate 41 and assemble the ceramic seat 101 vertically onto the fixing plate 102 on the assembly base 9. Specifically, the second vibrating plate 41 outputs the ceramic seats 101 one by one with the holes facing vertically upward, which facilitates the second gripper 42 to grip the ceramic seats 101. Similarly, the second gripper 42 is located above the turntable 2 and can move vertically and horizontally towards or away from the axis of rotation. The output end of the second vibrating plate 41 is located below the horizontal movement path of the second gripper 42, thereby achieving the purpose of directly gripping the ceramic seat 101 by the second gripper 42. Then, the second gripper 42 clamps the ceramic seat 101 and moves it to the top of the assembly base 9, and assembles the ceramic seat 101 vertically downward through the hole on the fixing plate 102 onto the fixing plate 102, completing the assembly of the ceramic seat 101 and the fixing plate 102. In this embodiment, the vertical and horizontal movement of the second gripper 42 is driven by a cylinder.

[0055] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, the first terminal feeding and assembly device 5 further includes a third vibratory plate 51 and a first terminal assembly mechanism 52. The third vibratory plate 51 is used to output the terminal 103 in a horizontal state. The first terminal assembly mechanism 52 includes a third gripper 521 and a fourth gripper 522. The third gripper 521 is used to grip the terminal 103 output by the third vibratory plate 51 and rotate the terminal 103 to a vertical state. The fourth gripper 522 is used to grip the terminal 103 rotated to a vertical state and assemble the terminal 103 into the ceramic seat 101 on the assembly base 9 in a vertical direction.

[0056] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 7As shown, specifically, the third gripper 521 is located on the worktable 1 and between the output end of the third vibratory plate 51 and the turntable 2. The third gripper 521 can move vertically and horizontally towards or away from the axis of rotation of the turntable 2. The third gripper 521 can also rotate around a horizontal second axis, which is parallel to the horizontal movement direction of the third gripper 521. The third gripper 521 is positioned towards the third vibratory plate 51 and is used to grip the horizontally positioned terminal 103 from the output end of the third vibratory plate 51 and rotate it until the terminal 103 is vertical. The fourth gripper 522 is located above the turntable 2 and can move vertically and horizontally towards or away from the axis of rotation. The third gripper 521 is positioned along the horizontal movement path of the fourth gripper 522. Below the diameter; when assembling the first terminal 103, the third gripper 521 moves horizontally to near the output end of the third vibrating plate 51, grips a terminal 103 from the third vibrating plate 51, and rotates the third gripper 521 until the terminal 103 is in a vertical position. Then, the third gripper 521 moves closer to the turntable 2 and moves vertically upward to position the terminal 103 at a suitable height for the fourth gripper 522 to grip. The fourth gripper 522 moves away from the turntable 2 to be directly above the third gripper 521. After gripping the terminal 103 on the third gripper 521, the fourth gripper 522 moves directly above the assembly base 9 and inserts the terminal 103 vertically downward into the hole on the ceramic base 101, completing the assembly of one terminal 103. In this embodiment, the vertical and horizontal movements of the third gripper 521 and the fourth gripper 522 are driven by cylinders, while the rotation of the third gripper 521 is driven by the rotary cylinder 10.

[0057] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, the second terminal feeding and assembly device 6 further includes a fourth vibratory plate 61 and a second terminal assembly mechanism. The fourth vibratory plate 61 is used to output the terminals 103 one by one in a vertical state with the pins facing down. The second terminal assembly mechanism has the same structure as the first terminal assembly mechanism 52. The difference is that the first terminal assembly mechanism 52 rotates the terminal 103 from a horizontal state to a vertical state with the pins facing up, while the second terminal assembly mechanism rotates the terminal 103 from a vertical state with the pins facing down to a vertical state with the pins facing up. The second terminal assembly mechanism is used to complete the assembly of the second terminal 103. That is, the second terminal feeding and assembly device 6 assembles the second terminal 103 onto the ceramic base 101, thus completing the assembly of each component.

[0058] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 8-9As shown, further, after the assembly of the two terminals 103 is completed, in order to ensure that the terminals 103 are perpendicular to the fixing plate 102 on the ceramic base 101, that is, vertical on the assembly base 9, and to ensure that the elastic plate 104 of the fixing plate 102 and the retaining plate 105 of the ceramic base 101 are engaged, a correction device 7 is provided on the workbench 1 at the station at the rear end of the second terminal feeding assembly device 6. It is used to correct the two terminals 103 of the product after being assembled by the second terminal feeding assembly device 6 to a vertical state, and to make the elastic plate 104 of the fixing plate 102 and the retaining plate 105 of the ceramic base 101 engage.

[0059] Reference Figure 8 As shown, the calibration device 7 includes a first calibration member 71 disposed above the turntable 2. The first calibration member 71 is vertically movably connected to the worktable 1. The first calibration member 71 is used to insert between the portions of the two terminals 103 protruding from the ceramic seat 101, and drives the portions of the two terminals 103 protruding from the ceramic seat 101 to rotate to a vertical state when moving. Specifically, the first calibration member 71 includes a truncated cone-shaped calibration block. The axis of the calibration block is vertical and its diameter gradually decreases from top to bottom. The calibration block is connected to a connecting seat via a connecting rod, and a cylinder mounted on the worktable 1 drives the connecting seat to move vertically to achieve the purpose of driving the calibration block to move up and down.

[0060] Reference Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the calibration device 7 also includes a second calibration member 72 located below the turntable 2. The second calibration member 72 is vertically movably connected to the worktable 1. The top of the second calibration member 72 has two calibration plates 722 spaced apart in the horizontal direction. The receiving cavity 92 is vertically configured as a through-mount 9, and the turntable 2 has a through hole that extends vertically and communicates with the receiving cavity 92. The through hole allows the second calibration member 72 to pass through. The second calibration member 72 can move upward to pass through the through hole and can be moved so that the calibration plates 722 are accommodated in the receiving cavity 92, with the two calibration plates 722 located on both sides of the ceramic base 101 where the retaining seat 105 is located. The second calibration member 72 is used to cooperate with the first calibration member 71 so that when the second calibration member 72 moves upward, the two calibration plates 722 drive the un-engaged elastic plate 104 upward to engage with the retaining seat 105 on the ceramic base 101.

[0061] Reference Figure 9As shown, specifically, the second correction component 72 includes a vertically arranged correction rod 721, a correction piece 722 located at the top of the correction rod 721 and integrally formed with the correction rod 721, and the lower end of the correction rod 721 connected to the mounting base. The mounting base and the worktable 1 are connected by a vertical guide rod, so that the mounting base can move vertically and drive the correction rod 721 to move vertically. A cylinder is set in the worktable 1 to drive the mounting base to move vertically, thereby achieving the purpose of driving the second correction component 72 to move vertically. In this embodiment, the correction piece 722 is formed by opening a notch at the top of the correction rod 721. The spacing between the two correction pieces 722 is designed according to the specifications and dimensions of the lamp holder product, so that the portion of the ceramic base 101 with the card holder 105 can be accommodated between the two correction pieces 722. When the elastic piece 104 on the fixing piece 102 overlaps on the card holder 105 but is not locked in place, the correction piece 722 can move the elastic piece 104 upward to lock it in place.

[0062] With the above configuration, the first alignment member 71 can move vertically above the turntable 2. As the first alignment member 71 moves downwards between the portions of the two terminals 103 protruding from the ceramic base 101, and since the diameter of the first alignment member 71 gradually decreases from top to bottom, during its downward movement, it drives the two terminals 103 to rotate away from each other until they reach a vertical position, thus completing the alignment of the terminals 103. When the first alignment member 71 moves downwards to abut against the ceramic base 101, the ceramic base 101 is restricted from moving upwards. At this point, the... The second correction element 72 moves upward until the two correction pieces 722 are located on both sides of the ceramic base 101 where the retaining plate 105 is located. During the movement, the correction piece 722 abuts against the elastic piece 104 of the fixing piece 102 that is not engaged. As the correction piece 722 moves upward, the elastic piece 104 moves upward until it is located between the retaining plate 105 and the fixing piece 102 of the ceramic base 101. At this time, the elastic piece 104 engages with the retaining plate 105 under the action of elastic force, thereby completing the correction of the engagement structure of the ceramic base 101 and the fixing piece 102.

[0063] Furthermore, the calibration device 7 also includes two support wheels 73 located on the workbench 1 and below the turntable 2. The axis of the support wheels 73 is horizontal and rotatably mounted on the workbench 1. The support wheels 73 contact the bottom of the turntable 2 to support the turntable 2, and the support wheels 73 can be driven to rotate by the turntable 2, thereby preventing the turntable 2 from being pressed down by the first calibration member 71 at the calibration device 7 and causing large deformation, ensuring the quality of the calibrated product and improving the stability of the equipment operation.

[0064] Reference Figure 3As shown, after passing through the calibration device 7, the finished lamp holder is obtained. To achieve automatic unloading, an unloading device 8 is provided on the workbench 1 at the rear end of the calibration device 7. This device is used to remove the lamp holder product from the assembly base 9. Specifically, the unloading device 8 includes unloading claws located above the turntable 2. The unloading claws can move vertically and horizontally towards or away from the axis of the turntable 2 to remove the finished product from the assembly base 9. Furthermore, a guide plate 11 is provided on the workbench 1, located directly below the horizontal movement path of the unloading claws, so that the finished product falls into the turnover box. In this embodiment, the vertical movement of the unloading claws is driven by a cylinder, while the horizontal movement is driven by a linear motor.

[0065] The above settings enable automated loading, unloading, and assembly of lamp holders, improving assembly efficiency, ensuring consistency of assembled products, and increasing the pass rate of lamp holders.

[0066] Reference Figure 3 As shown, further, to further improve production efficiency, six assembly seats 9 are provided. The six assembly seats 9 are evenly spaced along the first axis, that is, the six assembly seats 9 are evenly spaced along the circumference of the turntable 2. The turntable 2 can rotate so that the positions of the six assembly seats 9 correspond one-to-one with the positions of the fixed sheet feeding device 3, the ceramic seat feeding assembly device 4, the first terminal feeding assembly device 5, the second terminal feeding assembly device 6, the terminal 103 clamping device, and the unloading device 8. Correspondingly, the fixed sheet feeding device 3, the ceramic seat feeding assembly device 4, the first terminal feeding assembly device 5, the second terminal feeding assembly device 6, the terminal 103 clamping device, and the unloading device 8 are evenly spaced along the circumference of the turntable 2 on the workbench 1. In this way, when the turntable 2 rotates to transfer products, there is always an assembly seat 9 at each process, so that each assembly process can be carried out simultaneously and without interference. The assembly of lamp holder products can be carried out cyclically, which greatly improves the production efficiency of lamp holders.

[0067] Workbench 1 is also equipped with a control panel and an alarm, which allows personnel to debug the equipment and change parameters. It can also sound an alarm in case of a malfunction to prompt personnel to shut down the equipment.

[0068] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
