Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of iron shell assembly technology, and in particular to an assembly machine for iron shell processing. Background Technology

[0002] The mechanical workpiece assembly process refers to the process of assembling various components into a finished product according to product design requirements and specific procedures and processes. This process requires coordination and implementation from aspects such as design, procurement, process planning, and assembly. Taking the assembly of a metal shell as an example, the assembly process of existing assembly machines for metal shells is cumbersome. Furthermore, because the assembly of the metal shell requires different dispensing processes, these dispensing processes cannot be precisely positioned and completed in reality, easily causing product damage and reducing efficiency.

[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent publication number: CN210413424U, which describes a flow meter housing assembly device. The device includes a base, an L-shaped support on one side of the base, a first cylinder mounted at the bottom of the horizontal section of the support, a mounting plate at the piston rod end of the first cylinder, a rotating cylinder connected to the center of the bottom end of the mounting plate via a bearing, a driven gear mounted on the outer circumference of the rotating cylinder, a drive mechanism mounted at the top of the mounting plate, and a base block mounted at the bottom end of the rotating cylinder.

[0004] The cited documents also have the same problem. When assembling the iron shell using the assembly machine, the process is cumbersome. At the same time, because the assembly of the iron shell requires different dispensing processes, these dispensing processes cannot be accurately positioned and completed in reality, which can easily damage the product and reduce its efficiency.

In addition, the height is checked again after assembly using a multi-point laser sensor, which ensures efficiency. Furthermore, the production line has a carrier operation and carrier return, which is suitable for automated production lines. Only manual stacking of trays and changing of adhesive are required, which greatly reduces manual operation and improves efficiency. One person can operate multiple machines, thereby improving the efficiency of metal shell processing and assembly. Attached Figure Description

[0038] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, a clear and complete description will be provided below in conjunction with the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0039] The preferred embodiment of the present invention is an assembly machine for processing iron shells, such as... Figure 1-7As shown, the assembly machine has an installation support platform 1. A metal pallet loading mechanism 2 for conveying pallets is provided on one side of the top surface of the installation support platform 1. The metal pallet loading mechanism 2 includes a full pallet loading section 29 near the full pallet bin 13, a pallet transfer line 26, and multiple loading and conveying positions 27 located on the pallet transfer line 26. An empty pallet unloading section 24 is provided at one end of the pallet transfer line 26 away from the full pallet loading section 29. An empty pallet lifting section 25 is located directly below the empty pallet unloading section 24. A full pallet lifting section 31 is located directly below the full pallet loading section 29. A loading and transfer clamping feeding hand 28 is installed at the bottom of the pallet transfer line 26. A pallet positioning and separating mechanism 30 is installed on one side of the full pallet loading section 29 and on the outer wall of the pallet transfer line 26.

[0040] The dustproof adhesive dispensing mechanism 5 has a thermosetting adhesive dispensing mechanism 6 and an adhesive dispensing AOI on one side.

[0041] One side of the turntable mechanism 4 has a flipping mechanism 11 and an assembly alignment lower CCD.

[0042] Pallets are manually stacked and positioned on the pallet positioning and separating mechanism 30. The stacked pallets are lowered and placed onto the pallet transfer line 26. The pallets flow to the upper pallet position, and the feeding and transferring clamping hand 28 lifts and clamps the pallet. The pallet is then transported to the feeding position 27 for loading. This process is repeated until all pallets are removed. The feeding and transferring clamping hand 28 then transports the empty pallet to the empty pallet unloading section 24, lowers and releases the clamp, and places the pallet into the pallet transfer line 26. The empty pallets flow to the stacking position, are lifted to the empty pallet stacking position, and are manually removed when the empty pallet is full.

[0043] A loading assembly robot 3 is installed on the top surface of the mounting platform 1 and across one end of the full material tray 13 of the iron shell pallet loading mechanism 2. The bottom of the loading assembly robot 3 across the iron shell pallet loading mechanism 2 has a loading Y-axis 17. A loading ZR-axis 15 is slidably connected to the loading Y-axis 17. A loading suction head 16 is located at the bottom of the loading ZR-axis 15. The inverted U-shaped bracket of the loading assembly robot 3 has a transport X-axis part 18 and an assembly traction CCD 23. An assembly Y-axis 21 is provided at the assembly traction end of the loading assembly robot 3. An assembly ZR-axis 19 is adapted and slidably connected to the assembly Y-axis 21. An assembly suction head 20 is installed at the bottom of the assembly ZR-axis 19. An assembly alignment CCD 22 is installed at the bottom of the assembly traction end of the loading assembly robot 3. An assembly re-inspection part 10 is located at the lower part of one end of the loading assembly robot 3.

[0044] The loading inspection uses a CCD14 to photograph and position the iron shell during loading. The loading robot picks up the iron shell from the pallet based on visual information, moves along the X-axis 18, and the loading robot's suction head 16 places the iron shell onto the turntable loading position. The assembly robot's vision-guided suction head 20 picks up the iron shell at the turntable unloading position, moves it to the lower alignment CCD to take a picture, and the assembly alignment CCD22 moves to the BESE position to take a picture of the BESE. The assembly robot then moves it to the assembly position for assembly.

[0045] The suction head ensures efficient material feeding and retrieval, while visual traction ensures accurate feeding. The X-axis of the conveying system uses a three-movement linear motor, and the gantry structure of the robotic arm ensures precision.

[0046] A turntable mechanism 4 for conveying products for dispensing adhesive is installed at the center of the top surface of the mounting platform 1. The turntable mechanism 4 includes a disc body installed on the top surface of the mounting platform 1 and a dispensing assembly 37 arranged in a ring on the disc body. The bottom of the disc body also has a motor 36 that penetrates the mounting platform 1. The dispensing assembly 37 includes: a feeding position, a dustproof adhesive printing position, a dustproof adhesive AOI detection and curing position, a thermosetting adhesive dispensing position, a thermosetting adhesive AOI detection position, a flipping position, a feeding position, and a transfer position.

[0047] The product is on a turntable carrier, the turntable rotates, and each station operates simultaneously; motor 36 is a DD motor, which controls the rotation to ensure efficiency.

[0048] Above the feeding conveyor position 27 is a dustproof adhesive dispensing mechanism 5. The dustproof adhesive dispensing mechanism 5 includes a steel plate support 41, an adhesive dispensing transfer X-axis 39 installed behind the steel plate support 41, and an adhesive dispensing transfer Z-axis 38 installed on the adhesive dispensing transfer X-axis 39. An adhesive dispensing moving cylinder 40 is installed at the bottom end of the adhesive dispensing transfer Z-axis 38. One end of the top surface of the steel plate support 41 has an adhesive scraping cylinder 44. An adhesive cup 43 is installed at the output end of the adhesive scraping cylinder 44. The top surface of the steel plate support 41 has an adhesive groove 42.

[0049] The dispensing cylinder 40 pushes the glue cup 43 to move and brush the glue into the dustproof glue tank 42. The dispensing lifting shaft descends to apply the glue, the stamp head is glued, and it is transferred to the dispensing position to wait for dispensing.

[0050] The turntable mechanism 4 is located on the side opposite to the iron shell pallet feeding mechanism 2 and on the top surface of the mounting platform 1. The carrier assembly line 8 and the carrier positioning, clamping and transferring mechanism 9 are horizontally installed on the turntable mechanism 4. The assembly traction end of the feeding and assembly robot 3 spans the carrier assembly line 8 and the carrier positioning, clamping and transferring mechanism 9. At the same time, the product after the top surface of the turntable mechanism 4 is glued is transported to the carrier assembly line 8 and the carrier positioning, clamping and transferring mechanism 9 for product re-inspection.

[0051] The carrier assembly line 8 includes an incoming material assembly line 34 and an opposite carrier return assembly line 35. The output end of the material assembly line 34 is equipped with a blocking mechanism 32 and a positioning detection photoelectric sensor 33.

[0052] As the vehicle moves along the assembly line, when the photoelectric sensor 33 detects the vehicle's position, the blocking mechanism 32 stops it.

[0053] The carrier positioning and clamping transplanting mechanism 9 includes a carrier transplanting shaft 48 at the bottom and a carrier clamping part 45 that is transported on the carrier transplanting shaft 48. The ends of the carrier clamping part 45 are respectively provided with a carrier positioning detection part and a carrier blocking part 47. A carrier lifting part 49 for pushing, lifting and adjusting the height of the carrier is installed on the lower part of the frame of the carrier clamping part 45.

[0054] When the vehicle is detected in place, the blocking mechanism 32 rises to block, the vehicle lifting part 49 rises to clamp the vehicle, and the vehicle is transferred to the assembly position.

[0055] The process involves manually loading full-load stacked pallets, then separating and positioning them onto the assembly line. A single full-load pallet is then transferred to the picking position via a transfer clamp, where a visual imaging target picks up the metal shell. The loading robot then picks up the shell and places it on a turntable loading carrier. The turntable rotates, and a dustproof adhesive application mechanism applies dustproof adhesive. The turntable rotates again, and the shell undergoes AOI inspection, UV curing, turntable rotation, imaging target, thermosetting adhesive application, turntable rotation, thermosetting adhesive AOI inspection, turntable rotation, and a flipping mechanism rotates the shell 180°. The turntable rotates again, and the shell is inspected by a visual imaging target. Meanwhile, the unloading robot picks up the shell, aligns it with a CCD image, and assembles it onto a BESE. After assembly, the carrier is conveyed to the re-inspection position via the assembly line. A positioning mechanism stops and clamps the carrier, and XY-axis controlled laser sensors perform re-inspection. The carrier then proceeds to the next welding station via the assembly line.

[0056] In addition, when the BESE assembly line carrier is brought in, the positioning mechanism blocks, lifts, and clamps the carrier, the transfer arm moves the carrier to the assembly position, the CCD is used to take pictures and align the BESE, and the assembly robot assembles the iron shell onto the BESE.

[0057] It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make improvements or modifications based on the above description, and all such improvements and modifications should fall within the protection scope of the appended claims.
