It is to be explained that mobile phone lens motor assembly includes first work piece and second work piece. First work piece and second work piece realize the assembly of both through the mode of clamping. Since first work piece is placed in first carrier 1 after production, first carrier 1 includes first fixture 2, second fixture 3, third fixture 4, fourth fixture 5 from top to bottom. Fourth fixture 5 is provided with insertion post 6, and insertion post 6 is inserted on third fixture 4 and second fixture 3, and first fixture 2 is provided with positioning post for insertion on second fixture 3. First work piece is clamped in the storage groove 7 of second fixture 3. Wherein, second fixture 3 is provided with perforation 8 in storage groove 7, and first work piece can be ejected by inserting tool into perforation 8. Second work piece is directly placed in a single layer of second carrier 9. When assembling, second fixture 3 needs to be separated from first carrier 1, then second fixture 3 is buckled on second carrier 9 by turning over, and first work piece in second fixture 3 is ejected on second carrier 9 and combined with second work piece in second carrier 9. In the embodiment, first fixture 2, second fixture 3, third fixture 4 are provided with four groups, and the four groups are placed on fourth fixture 5.

Corresponding second carrier 9 is uniformly arranged with sixteen second work pieces.

[0045] Specifically, the assembly machine comprises a first feeding line 10, a first discharging line 11, a second feeding line 12, a second discharging line 13, a first clamping mechanism 100, a second clamping mechanism 200, a stripping mechanism 300, a turnover mechanism 400, a pressing mechanism 500, a first driving device 14, a second driving device 15, a third driving device, a fourth driving device 16 and a machine body 17, each mechanism is installed on the machine body 17. The entire assembly machine is provided with various sensors, and each mechanism device is controlled to work through an integrated controller, which is prior art.

[0046] Referring to Figure 2 , 4, 5, the first carrier 1 is input in the first feeding line 10, the end of the first feeding line 10 is provided with a jig clamping station 30, the body 17 is provided with an auxiliary lifting disc 18, an auxiliary limiting wheel 19 and an auxiliary clamping plate 20 at the jig clamping station 30. In this embodiment, a cylinder is installed on the body 17, and the cylinder is located below the jig clamping station 30 of the first feeding line 10 and drives the auxiliary lifting disc 18 to lift through the cylinder, thereby supporting the first carrier 1. Similarly, the auxiliary limiting wheel 19 is driven to lift through the cylinder installed on the body 17, so that the first carrier 1 stops on the jig clamping station 30 of the first feeding line 10 and limits the movement of the first carrier 1 in the conveying direction of the first feeding line 10. The auxiliary clamping plate 20 is provided with two auxiliary clamping plates 20 arranged on both sides perpendicular to the conveying direction of the first feeding line 10. The auxiliary clamping plate 20 is driven by two groups of cylinders to drive the auxiliary clamping plate 20 to lift in the vertical direction and move in the direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the first feeding line 10. When the first carrier 1 is conveyed to the jig clamping station 30, the auxiliary limiting wheel 19 is lifted to block the first carrier 1 from continuing to move in the conveying direction of the first feeding line 10; then the auxiliary lifting disc 18 is lifted to lift the first carrier 1; finally, the two auxiliary clamping plates 20 driven by the cylinders are close to each other and clamped on both sides of the second jig 3 or the third jig 4 of the first carrier 1.

[0047] Referring to Figure 2 , the first discharge line 11 is arranged side by side with the first feeding line 10 and is spaced apart, and the conveying direction is opposite, for conveying the empty first carrier 1 out. The first clamping mechanism 100 reciprocates between the first feeding line 10 and the first discharge line 11. The starting end of the first feeding line 10 is provided with a carrier recovery station 40. The body 17 is also provided with an auxiliary lifting disc 18 and an auxiliary limiting wheel 19 at the carrier recovery station 40, and the structures and driving modes of the two are the same as those of the auxiliary lifting disc 18 and the auxiliary limiting wheel 19 on the jig clamping station 30.

[0048] Referring to Figures 6-8The first clamping mechanism 100 comprises a first clamping assembly 110 and a second clamping assembly 120. The first driving device 14 is provided with a first moving seat 21, and the first clamping mechanism 100 is installed on the first moving seat 21. The first driving device 14 drives the first moving seat 21 to move up and down or translate, thereby driving the first clamping mechanism 100 to move. In the embodiment, the first driving device 14 is composed of an X-axis linear motor and a Y-axis linear motor, and drives the first clamping mechanism 100 to move. The first clamping assembly 110 and the second clamping assembly 120 are both installed on the first moving seat 21. The first clamping assembly 110 comprises at least one set of two parallel and spaced clamping rods 111, and a first clamping driving member 112 in each set of two clamping rods 111. In the embodiment, the first jig 2 is provided with four sets, and the clamping rods 111 are correspondingly arranged in four sets, two in each set. The two clamping rods 111 in the same set are provided with a clamping column 113 on the side close to each other. The first jig 2 is a rod-shaped structure, and the two symmetrical surfaces of the long side are provided with a clamping groove 23. The length direction of the clamping rod 111 is the same as the length direction of the first jig 2, and when the two clamping rods 111 are close to each other, the clamping column 113 can be inserted into the clamping groove 23. Further, the first clamping assembly 110 further comprises a plurality of spaced positioning rods 115, which can abut on the second jig 3, so that the clamping column 113 and the clamping groove 23 are at the same height, and the clamping column 113 can be accurately inserted into the abutting groove.

[0049] Further, the first clamping assembly 110 further comprises two horizontally and parallel spaced moving plates 114, and the clamping rods 111 acting on the same side of the four first jigs 2 in the four sets of clamping rods 111 are arranged on one moving plate 114, and the clamping rods 111 acting on the other side of the four first jigs 2 in the four sets of clamping rods 111 are arranged on the other moving plate 114. The two moving plates 114 are staggered, that is, the four sets of clamping rods 111 are staggered. The first clamping driving member 112 is a cylinder, which is installed on the moving seat and drives the movement of the two moving plates 114, that is, simultaneously drives the two clamping rods 111 in each set to move close to or away from each other, thereby simultaneously clamping and fixing the four first jigs 2 on the first carrier 1. When the first jig 2 is clamped and positioned by the clamping rod 111, the first moving seat 21 is driven to move, thereby separating the first jig 2 from the first carrier 1. When the first jig 2 is clamped and separated, the auxiliary clamping plate 20 at the jig clamping station 30 is clamped at the two ends of the length direction of the second jig 3, so as to avoid the second jig 3 from being taken out.

[0050] The second clamping assembly 120 comprises second clamping plates 121, second clamping driving members 122 and a second clamping lifting member 123. The second clamping plates 121 are provided in two. The second clamping driving members 122 are in the form of air cylinders, one-to-one corresponding to the two second clamping plates 121, and drive the two second clamping plates 121 to approach or move away from each other. The length direction of the second clamping plates 121 is perpendicular to the length direction of the clamping rod 111; and the two second clamping plates 121 are respectively located at both ends of the length direction of the clamping rod 111. The two second clamping driving members 122 are connected by a U-shaped rod, the second clamping lifting member 123 is in the form of an air cylinder and is installed on the moving seat, and the second clamping lifting member 123 can drive the U-shaped rod to lift, thereby driving the two second clamping plates 121 to lift. When clamping the third jig 4 and the fourth jig 5, the two second clamping plates 121 approach each other and are clamped on both sides of the third jig 4 and the fourth jig 5, so that the third jig 4 and the fourth jig 5 can be clamped and placed on the carrier recycling station 40 at the same time; then, the two second clamping plates 121 move away from each other to release the clamping of the third jig 4 and the fourth jig 5, and the two second clamping plates 121 are lifted by the second clamping lifting member 123; so as not to interfere with the subsequent lowering action of the first jig 2.

[0051] The second feeding line 12 is used for conveying the second carrier 9. The second feeding line 12 is provided with a waiting station 50 at the end. The machine body 17 is also provided with an auxiliary lifting disc 18 and an auxiliary limiting wheel 19 at the waiting station 50, and the structures and driving modes of the two are the same as those of the auxiliary lifting disc 18 and the auxiliary limiting wheel 19 on the jig clamping station 30.

[0052] The starting end of the second discharging line 13 is provided with an assembly station 60, the second discharging line 13 and the first feeding line 10 are arranged on the same straight line, and the conveying directions of the two are the same. The assembly station 60 is close to the jig clamping station 30.

[0053] Referring to Figure 9 and Figure 10The second driving device 15 is provided with a second moving seat 22. The second clamping mechanism 200 is installed on the second moving seat 22, and the second moving seat 22 is driven to ascend or translate by the second driving device 15, so as to drive the second clamping mechanism 200 to move. The second clamping mechanism 200 comprises a third clamping assembly 210 and a third clamping driving member 220. The third clamping assembly 210 and the third clamping driving member 220 are both installed on the second moving seat 22. In the embodiment, the second driving device 15 adopts the same structure as the first driving device 14, so as to drive the second clamping mechanism 200 to ascend or translate. The third clamping assembly 210 comprises two third clamping plates 211. In the embodiment, the third clamping driving member 220 adopts a bidirectional synchronous motion linear motor, which is connected to the two third clamping plates 211 through connecting rods respectively, and drives the two third clamping plates 211 to approach or move away from each other. In other embodiments, the third clamping driving member 220 can also drive the two third clamping plates 211 to move through a cylinder. After the two third clamping plates 211 approach, they can be clamped on both sides of the second carrier 9. In addition, in order to avoid the second workpiece in the second carrier 9 from falling off, the third clamping assembly 210 further comprises a buffer pressing plate 212, which is used to press on the end face of the second carrier 9, so as to avoid the second workpiece from falling off the second carrier 9. The end face of the buffer pressing plate 212 used to contact the second workpiece can be provided with a flexible material. In the embodiment, the buffer pressing plate 212 is connected to the second moving seat 22 in a vertical sliding manner, so as to avoid the buffer pressing plate 212 from pressing the second workpiece too hard.

In this way, the equipment cost can be saved without affecting the efficiency. Of course, in other embodiments, the third driving device can be separately provided and drive the stripping mechanism 300 to move. The stripping mechanism 300 comprises a stripping disc 310 and a stripping column 320. The stripping column 320 can pass through the perforations 8 on the second jig 3 to eject the first workpiece in the second jig 3. The perforations 8 on the second jig 3 are uniformly and circumferentially arranged four times along the storage groove 7, and correspondingly, the stripping column 320 is provided with four stripping columns corresponding to each storage groove 7.

[0055] With reference to Figure 13 and Figure 14The fourth driving device 16 drives the turnover mechanism 400 to move up and down or translate.

The turnover rods 410 are provided in two, which can simultaneously act on the two sides of the four second jigs 3 to simultaneously clamp the four second jigs 3. In the embodiment, the fourth clamping driving element 420 also adopts a bidirectional synchronous motion linear motor, which is connected to the turnover rods 410 through connecting rods to drive the two turnover rods 410 to move close to or away from each other. The turnover driving element 430 includes a driving motor and a driving shaft. The turnover rods 410 and the fourth clamping driving element 420 are fixedly installed on the driving shaft, and the driving shaft is driven by the driving motor to rotate to drive the turnover rods 410 to rotate around the driving shaft. The side walls of the two turnover rods 410 that move close to each other are provided with protrusions 411 one by one corresponding to the second jigs 3. The two ends of the second jigs 3 in the length direction are provided with recesses 24 for the protrusions 411 to insert, so that the two turnover rods 410 can stably clamp the four second jigs 3 after moving close to each other. The turnover rods 410 are also provided with buffer pads, which can improve the clamping friction between the turnover rods 410 and the second jigs 3 and do not cause rigid collision to the second jigs 3.

[0056] With reference to Figure 15 and Figure 16 The second discharge line 13 is also provided with a pressing station 70. The machine body 17 is also provided with an auxiliary lifting disc 18 and an auxiliary limiting wheel 19 at the pressing station 70, and the structures and driving modes of the two are the same as those of the auxiliary lifting disc 18 and the auxiliary limiting wheel 19 at the jig clamping station 30. The pressing mechanism 500 includes a pressing frame 510 and pressing pieces 520. The pressing frame 510 is arranged across the second discharge line 13, and the second carrier 9 can pass through the bottom of the pressing frame 510. The pressing pieces 520 correspond one by one to the first workpieces. When the second carrier 9 moves towards the pressing frame 510, the pressing pieces 520 can uniformly press and abut against the first workpieces and the second workpieces, so that the first workpieces and the second workpieces can be clamped and fixed to complete assembly.

The turnover mechanism 400 moves to the jig clamping station 30 and the assembly station 60 through the fourth driving device 16, the turnover rod 410 is driven by the fourth clamping driving member 420 and the turnover driving member 430 to clamp the four second jigs 3 and turn over the second jigs 3 to be buckled on the first carrier 1 at the assembly station 60.

[0060] After the second jig 3 is separated from the third jig 4, the auxiliary clamping plate 20 at the jig clamping station 30 releases the clamping of the third jig 4.

[0061] After the second jig 3 is buckled on the second carrier 9, the ejection mechanism 300 is driven by the fourth driving device 16 to insert the ejection column 320 into the perforation 8 of the second jig 3 and eject the first workpiece in the second jig 3 onto the second workpiece in the second carrier 9. Then, the turnover mechanism 400 moves the empty second jig 3 to the carrier recycling station 40 and turns over the second jig 3 to place it on the third jig 4; the first clamping assembly 110 of the first clamping mechanism 100 then places the first jig 2 back on the second jig 3, completing the assembly of the empty first carrier 1. The lifting disc and the auxiliary limiting wheel 19 at the carrier recycling station 40 are lowered, and the empty first carrier 1 can be sent out by the first discharging line 11.

[0062] After the first workpiece is ejected and falls on the corresponding second workpiece in the second carrier 9, the second discharge line 13 drives the second carrier 9 to move to the pressing station 70. The auxiliary limiting wheel 19 on the pressing station 70 rises with the auxiliary lifting disc 18, drives the second carrier 9 to be separated from the second discharge line 13, so that the first workpiece in the second carrier 9 is in contact with the pressing piece 520 on the pressing frame 510, and then the first workpiece is stably clamped on the second workpiece, completing the assembly of the mobile phone lens motor assembly. Then the auxiliary limiting wheel 19 on the pressing station 70 and the auxiliary lifting disc 18 are lowered, and the mobile phone lens motor assembly on the second carrier 9 is sent out.

[0063] In this way, the high automatic assembly of the mobile phone lens motor assembly can be realized, the work efficiency is improved, and the labor cost is reduced.

[0064] Although the present application is specifically shown and described in connection with the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications in form and detail can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the application as defined by the appended claims.
