[0036] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0037] Reference Figure 1-8 As shown,

[0038] An arc-extinguishing shield assembly device includes a base 1, a turntable 2 rotatably mounted on the base 1, and an assembly mechanism 3 mounted on the base 1; the turntable 2 is provided with a plurality of tooling 4, and the assembly mechanism 3 cooperates with the tooling 4 on the turntable 2 for assembly, and also includes a mounting plate on the base 1.

[0039] The flipping mechanism 5 is used to grip and flip the parts;

[0040] Conveying mechanism 6 is used to transfer the flipped parts;

[0041] The riveting mechanism 7 is used to rivet the parts transferred by the conveying mechanism 6;

[0042] The flipping mechanism 5 includes

[0043] Fixture 51 is used to hold the parts on tooling 4;

[0044] The flipping drive mechanism 52 is connected to the clamp 51 to drive the clamp 51 to perform up and down flipping actions;

[0045] A baffle 511 is provided on the fixture 51 at the pin hole for riveting on the corresponding component; the baffle 511 blocks part of the pin hole to prevent the pin in the pin hole from falling out.

[0046] The transmission mechanism 6 includes

[0047] Positioning component 61 is used to position parts in conjunction with fixture 51;

[0048] Actuating mechanism 62 is used for moving and positioning component 61;

[0049] The pushing mechanism 62 is connected to the limiting plate 63;

[0050] The limiting plate 63 includes a base plate 631 and a cover plate 632, forming a space for the movement of components between the base plate 631 and the cover plate 632. The base plate 631 is connected to the pushing mechanism 62 and moves in coordination with the pushing mechanism 62. The cover plate 632 moves with the base plate 631. The positioning member 61 is located on the cover plate 632.

[0051] The position of the base plate 631 corresponding to the baffle 511 is matched with the baffle 511 to restrict the pin from coming out. When the parts are transferred to the base plate 631, the base plate 631 restricts the pin from coming out.

[0052] In this solution, the turntable 2 on the base 1 is driven to rotate by a motor. Each rotation of the turntable 2 causes the tooling 4 on the turntable 2 to be assembled by the assembly mechanism 3. The assembly mechanism 3 may include a gripping mechanism for grabbing the arc extinguishing cover, a filling mechanism for filling the grid sheet, a covering mechanism for covering the arc extinguishing cover, and a threading mechanism for inserting rivets or pins. It also includes the aforementioned flipping mechanism 5 and conveying mechanism 6. The conveying mechanism 6 can be used in conjunction with the riveting mechanism 7 for stamping and riveting. After riveting, the product can enter the unloading belt and fall to the collection point through the unloading belt.

[0053] Specifically, in the cooperation between the flipping mechanism 5 and the conveying mechanism 6, when the turntable 2 rotates the part to the position corresponding to the flipping mechanism 5, the flipping drive mechanism 52 flips the clamp 51, covers the part with the clamp 51 and clamps the part with the clamp 51, and then flips the clamp 51 by the flipping drive mechanism 52 to flip the part over. In front of the flipping mechanism 5, there is also a pin. When the clamp 51 clamps the part on the tooling 4, the baffle 511 blocks part of the pin hole so that the pin will not fall off when flipping.

[0054] After the flipping is completed, the pushing mechanism 62 pushes the base plate 631 to move toward the clamp 51. At this time, the base plate 631 cooperates with the baffle 511 on the clamp 51 to block the pin hole. Then, the positioning member 61 positions the part. After the positioning is completed, the pushing mechanism 62 drives the base plate 631 to move. The positioning member 61 cooperates with the base plate 631 to move the part to the riveting mechanism 7 to perform the riveting action. During this process, the base plate 631 blocks the pin hole so that the pin will not come out of the pin hole.

[0055] The cover plate 632, together with the base plate 631, can make the movement of the parts more stable and has a limiting function.

[0056] Specifically, the pushing mechanism 62 includes a slide rail 621 and a driving component 622. The base plate 631 is connected to the driving component 622 and moves on the slide rail 621 in cooperation with the driving component 622.

[0057] The drive unit 622 can be a linear motor, while the slide rail 621 provides guidance. The base 1 can be equipped with components that cooperate with the guide rail to make the sliding of the base 1 more stable.

[0058] In a preferred embodiment, the conveying mechanism 6 further includes a slide 64 for sliding components; a plate 641 is provided at one end of the bottom of the slide 64 corresponding to the bottom of the base plate 631, and the side of the plate 641 corresponding to the bottom of the slide 64 is flush with and smoothly transitions to the bottom of the slide 64; a notch 6311 is provided on the base plate 631 at the position corresponding to the position of the plate 641, which cooperates with the plate 641. When the base plate 631 moves to the position of the slide 64, the plate 641 is inserted into the notch 6311, and the components on the base plate 631 are transferred to the plate 641 and remain on the plate 641.

[0059] The slide 64 allows components to slide and be arranged within it. The cooperation between the insert plate 641 and the notch 6311 allows the component corresponding to the notch 6311 to remain on the insert plate 641 after the insert plate 641 is inserted into the notch 6311 (i.e., transferred from the base plate 631 to the insert plate 641). The bottom surface of the insert plate 641 can be slightly higher than the base plate 631, and the edges of the insert plate 641 are chamfered to allow the component to transition onto and remain on the insert plate 641. During the cycle, each time the insert plate 641 is inserted into the notch 6311, the corresponding component on the notch 6311 will push against the component that was originally on the insert plate 641, causing the component on the insert plate 641 to slide further into the slide. Since the components are of the same size, the advancing distance is kept the same each time. The shapes of the notch 6311 and the insert plate 641 are preferably compatible and complementary.

[0060] Of course, in order to make it easier for the parts to stay on the insert plate 641, damping blocks 642 are provided on both sides of the slide 64 corresponding to the insert plate 641 to provide damping to the parts.

[0061] The damping block 642 provides damping for the components, while the positioning element 61 provides thrust to the components. As the base plate 631 and cover plate 632 move, the positioning element 61 pushes the components into the insert plate 641, simultaneously working with the damping block 642 to create damping. When the base plate 631 returns to its original position, the components remain on the insert plate 641 under the damping effect. This process can be repeated, using damping to keep the components on the insert plate 641 while simultaneously pushing the previous component into the slide rail 64. Based on this design, the heights of the insert plate 641 and the base plate 631 can be the same, resulting in smoother movement and easier component movement.

[0062] In order to facilitate the cooperation between the positioning component 61 and the clamp 51, a lifting drive component 65 is provided on the base plate 631 or the cover plate 632 to drive the cover plate 632 to rise and fall relative to the base plate 631.

[0063] When the base plate 631 moves toward the clamp 51, the lifting drive 65 drives the cover plate 632 to rise. At this time, the positioning member 61 also rises, thus preventing the cover plate 632 from hitting the parts on the clamp 51 when it moves toward the clamp 51. After the base plate 631 and the cover plate 632 have moved into place, the lifting drive 65 drives the cover plate 632 to fall. At this time, the positioning member 61 can hook the parts. When the base plate 631 moves, the positioning member 61 can push against the parts and move.

[0064] This solution provides only a more preferred option. Those skilled in the art can set the positioning element 61 as an elastic component, similar to a barbed spring. When the base plate 631 moves toward the clamp 51 and the positioning element 61 touches the component, the positioning element 61 deforms until it moves into place and returns to its original position, hooking the component.

[0065] In an alternative configuration, the flipping mechanism 5 may also include a lifting mechanism 53, which drives the clamp 51 to lift and lower to cover the parts on the tooling 4 and remove the parts, or to move and lift the parts on the clamp 51 to the positioning member 61.

[0066] The lifting mechanism 53 allows the fixture 51 to move up and down. Since the rotation of the fixture 51 follows an arc trajectory, it is difficult to clamp parts on the tooling 4 simply by rotating the fixture 51. Using the lifting mechanism makes alignment easier. First, the fixture 51 is raised and rotated into position before being lowered, aligning the fixture 51 with the parts from top to bottom before clamping. After clamping, it is rotated into position again, and the lifting mechanism 53 is used to raise or lower it to the corresponding positioning part 61, then the conveying mechanism 6 transports the parts.

[0067] The above-described structure facilitates flipping and conveying, making it easy to rivet with the riveting mechanism 7. After riveting, the material slides down to the collection point via the feeding belt, which makes the arc extinguishing cover and grid plate more stable after installation, preventing them from loosening or falling apart, and facilitating subsequent transportation.

[0068] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of the present invention's concept are within the scope of protection of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principles of the present invention should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
