DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0042] The present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with all the accompanying drawings.

[0043] The embodiments of the present application disclose an assembly device and a method for using a vehicle controller.

[0044] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 An assembly device for an automotive controller includes a press-fitting frame 1. A linear guide 14 is provided at the lower end of the press-fitting frame 1. A slider 141 is slidably connected to the linear guide 144 along its length. A movable plate 142 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the slider 141. Movement of the slider 141 drives the movable plate 142. The press-fitting frame 1 is also equipped with an electric cylinder 144. The output end of the electric cylinder 144 is fixedly connected to the slider 141, driving the slider 141 to move.

[0045] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The press-fitting frame 1 is provided with a lower die 11, which includes a base plate 112, a positioning block 113, and a plurality of positioning pins 114. The base plate 112 is located at the upper end of the movable plate 142 and contacts the movable plate 142. The movable plate 142 is provided with two fixing pins 143. When the movable plate 142 moves, the fixing pins 143 are driven to move. The base plate 112 is provided with positioning sleeves 115 adapted to the fixing pins 143. The fixing pins 143 pass through the corresponding positioning sleeves 115 and are inserted into the movable plate 142. Under the connection of the fixing pins 143, when the movable plate 142 moves, the base plate 112 is driven to move.

[0046] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The positioning block 113 is located at the upper end of the base plate 112 and contacts the base plate 112. The positioning pin 114 penetrates the positioning block 113 and is inserted into the base plate 112. When the base plate 112 moves, the positioning block 113 is driven by the positioning pin 114. The upper end of the positioning block 113 is provided with an assembly slot 111 adapted to the product. The operator places the pre-assembled product into the assembly slot 111, so that the positioning block 113 moves with the product. By removing the fixing pin 143, the lower die 11 is released from the position limit, which facilitates the replacement of the lower die 11.

[0047] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The upper end of the press frame 1 is equipped with an upper die 12. A linear guide 14 passes under the upper die 12, driving the lower die 11 to move directly below the upper die 12 via an electric cylinder 144. The press frame 1 is equipped with a clamping member, which includes a cylinder 131, a mounting plate 132, and a movable plate 133. Cylinder 131 is fixedly connected to the press frame 1, and the output end of cylinder 131 passes through the press frame 1 and is slidably connected to the press frame 1. The mounting plate 132 is located at the lower end of cylinder 131 and is fixedly connected to the output end of cylinder 131. Cylinder 131 drives the mounting plate 132 to move.

[0048] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The movable plate 133 is located at the lower end of the mounting plate 132, and a connecting bolt is provided between the movable plate 133 and the mounting plate 132. When the mounting plate 132 moves, the movable plate 133 is driven to move. The upper die 12 is located at the lower end of the movable plate 133. The upper die 12 includes a fixed plate 121, a connecting plate 122, four pressing heads 123 and four elastic members 124. The fixed plate 121 is in contact with the movable plate 133. The movable plate 133 is provided with a transverse groove adapted to the fixed plate 121. The fixed plate 121 is inserted into the transverse groove and is slidably connected to the movable plate 133. The movable plate 133 is provided with an indexing pin 135. The indexing pin 135 passes through the movable plate 133 and is inserted into the fixed plate 121. The movable plate 133 limits the fixed plate 121 through the transverse groove and the indexing pin 135, so that when the movable plate 133 moves, the fixed plate 121 is driven to move.

[0049] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The connecting plate 122 is located at the lower end of the fixed plate 121, and four connecting rods 125 are connected between the connecting plate 122 and the fixed plate 121. Under the connection of the connecting rods 125, the movement of the fixed plate 121 drives the connecting plate 122 to move. The four pressing heads 123 are all located at the lower end of the connecting plate 122. The pressing heads 123 pass through the connecting plate 122 and are slidably connected to the connecting plate 122. Optionally, the elastic member 124 is a spring, one end of which is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 122 and the other end is fixedly connected to the pressing heads 123. When the connecting plate 122 moves, all the pressing heads 123 move synchronously.

[0050] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 Cylinder 131 drives the upper die 12 toward the lower die 11, allowing the pressing head 123 to press the product. When the pressing head 123 presses the product, the elastic member 124 is compressed, which helps to buffer the rigid collision between the pressing head 123 and the product, reducing the probability of the pressing head 123 damaging the product during press installation. At the same time, the elastic member 124 pushes the pressing head 123 to press the product, improving the press installation effect of the pressing head 123. The pressing head 123 is made of elastic material, which further protects the product.

[0051] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 After the press is completed, the electric cylinder 144 (reference Figure 2 ) drives the product to continue to move, a divider 2 is provided on one side of the press frame 1, and the product is pressed in the lower die 11 (reference Figure 2 ) is driven downward toward the divider 2. The divider 2 is conventional and will not be described in detail here. Six sets of test lower dies 21 are provided at the upper end of the divider 2. These six sets of test lower dies 21 are evenly spaced along the circumference of the divider 2. The divider 2 drives all of the test lower dies 21 to rotate.

[0052] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The upper end of the test lower die 21 is provided with a positioning groove 211 adapted to the product, and the press-fitting frame 1 (reference Figure 1 ) and Splitter 2 (reference Figure 1 ) is provided between the two parts. The turntable assembly 3 includes a manipulator 31 and a gripper cylinder 32. Optionally, the manipulator 31 is a six-axis robot. The gripper cylinder 32 is mounted on the mobile end of the manipulator 31, and the manipulator 31 drives the gripper cylinder 32 to move. A gripper block 321 is fixedly connected to the output end of the gripper cylinder 32. The gripper block 321 is adapted to the product. The gripper cylinder 32 drives the gripper block 321 to clamp the product, and the manipulator 31 drives the product to move, thereby placing the product from the assembly slot 111 into the positioning slot 211. The positioning slot 211 limits the product position of the test lower mold 21, so that the movement of the test lower mold 21 drives the product movement.

[0053] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 6 The divider 2 is provided with multiple test assemblies 4 along its circumference. The test assemblies 4 include a base 41 and a test upper die 43. The test upper die 43 is located at the upper end of the base 41 and is vertically slidably connected to the base 41. The divider 2 drives the test lower die 21 and the product toward the test assembly 4, causing the test lower die 21 to move to the lower end of the test upper die 43.

[0054] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 The test upper mold 43 includes an assembly plate 431, a pressure block 432, and two positioning rods 433. A driving cylinder 42 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the base 41. The output end of the driving cylinder 42 passes through the base 41 and is fixedly connected to the mounting member 421. The driving cylinder 42 drives the mounting member 421 to move vertically. Four parallel sliding rods 422 are provided at the upper end of the mounting member 421. The sliding rods 422 pass through the base 41 and are slidably connected to the base 41. The base 41 limits the mounting member 421 via the sliding rods 422, thereby improving the movement stability of the mounting member 421.

[0055] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 Assembly plate 431 is located at the lower end of mounting member 421. Movement of mounting member 421 drives assembly plate 431 to move. Pressing block 432 is fixed to the lower end of assembly plate 431. Movement of assembly plate 431 drives pressing block 432 to move, allowing pressing block 432 to pre-press the product, improving its placement stability. At this point, probe 44 is aligned with the product's interface, and probe 44 is inserted into the socket to test the product. Positioning rod 433 is located at the lower end of assembly plate 431 and is fixedly connected to assembly plate 431. Movement of assembly plate 431 drives positioning rod 433 to move.

[0056] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 7 The lower test mold 21 is provided with a positioning hole 212 adapted for the positioning rod 433. The positioning rod 433 is inserted into the positioning hole 212 during movement. The cooperation between the positioning rod 433 and the positioning hole 212 helps to improve the connection stability between the upper test mold 43 and the lower test mold 21 and reduce the probability of deflection between the upper test mold 43 and the lower test mold 21. By sequentially testing different functions of the product through the three sets of test assemblies 4, the overall product testing time is shortened, which helps to improve product production efficiency.

[0057] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 8 , all test components 4 are provided with a turntable component 2 5 on the side facing away from the turntable component 1 3. The structure of the turntable component 2 5 is similar to that of the turntable component 1 3 and will not be described in detail here. A marking component is provided between the turntable component 2 5 and the test component 4. The marking component includes a laser marking machine 6 and a camera 61. The camera 61 is installed on one side of the laser marking machine 6. The workpiece is grabbed to the laser marking machine 6 by the turntable component 2 5, and the laser marking machine 6 marks the product according to the test results. The marking component is also provided with a dust suction pipe 62, which absorbs the smoke generated by the laser marking machine 6 during marking. It can be seen that the marking equipment in the marking component in this embodiment can be selected from other models, and the laser marking machine 6 in this embodiment is only one of them.

[0058] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 8 A camera 61 is installed on one side of the laser marking machine 6. The turntable assembly moves the marked product in front of the camera 61, which then reads the product's marking information to determine whether the product's marking information is complete. A chute 7 is installed between the turntable assembly 2 5 and the press-fitting frame 1. If the test result is qualified, the turntable assembly 2 5 places the product on the chute 7 and transfers it to the next station.

[0059] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5A defective product box 71 is located on the side of the chute 7 near the turntable assembly 2 5. If a product fails the test, the turntable assembly 2 5 places the product in the defective product box 71 for recycling. A label printer 72 is located on the side of the chute 7 facing away from the defective product box 71. This printer prints defective product labels, which the operator then affixes to the products in the defective product box 71 to complete the labeling process. This eliminates the need for manual labor during product assembly and testing, improving production efficiency while minimizing costs.

[0060] The implementation principle of the assembly equipment of an automotive controller in an embodiment of the present application is as follows: the operator places the pre-assembled product into the assembly groove 111 of the lower die 11, and drives the product along the linear guide rail 14 to the bottom of the upper die 12 through the electric cylinder 144, and the cylinder 131 drives the upper die 12 to approach the product, and then presses the product through the pressing head 123. After the press-fitting is completed, the lower die 11 moves and the product is transferred to the positioning groove 211 of the test lower die 21 through the turntable assembly 1 3. The divider 2 drives the test lower die 21 and the product to move toward the test assembly 4. When the product reaches the bottom of the test upper die 43, under the support of the guide seat, the driving cylinder 42 drives the test upper die 43 to move closer to the test lower die 21. The product is inspected by the probe 44. After passing through multiple groups of test assemblies 4, the divider 2 continues to rotate, and the turntable assembly 2 5 drives the tested product to move to the marking assembly. The product is marked by the laser marking machine 6. After the marking is completed, the marking information of the product is inspected by the camera 61. After the inspection is completed, the turntable assembly 2 5 transfers the qualified products to the chute 7 and places the unqualified products in the defective product box 71.
