Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of assembly equipment technology, and in particular to a skeleton assembly equipment. Background Technology

[0002] During printer assembly, the precision required between various components is very high; otherwise, the performance will be affected. The base frame is assembled with the front and rear frames first, and then the internal skeleton is gradually built. The assembly precision between the front and rear frames and the base frame is even more important. Currently, after the printer skeleton is produced, it is assembled manually. Some skeletons are large and require manual support before other workers can tighten the screws. This assembly is difficult and the precision is not high enough to meet the assembly requirements of printers with high assembly standards. Before the internal skeleton is built, some components need to be assembled first and then assembled into the overall structure. Some components need to be fixed with multiple parts by screws. Direct manual splicing and locking is inconvenient and inefficient. Summary of the Invention

The front frame needs to be installed on the upper part of the two columns. The front frame also has two positioning holes. It is pushed backward by the positioning shaft of the front support component and the positioning shaft position is fixed by the limiting device.

The positioning and installation of the printer's main skeleton is completed. A screw-locking robotic arm is used to lock some screws, and the remaining skeletons are assembled manually inside the main skeleton.

The servo motor 163 is connected to one side of the worm gear lift 162. The four lifting components 16 are independently controlled. The servo motor 163 controls the worm gear lift to control the lifting of the third universal ball joint 164. The torque value is used to determine whether the base frame is in contact with the first upper limit or the rear frame. After the set torque value is reached, the corresponding lifting component 16 stops working.

The upper end of the rear frame has positioning holes that cooperate with the positioning posts 011 at the front end of the two positioning shafts 01.

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, it also includes a light curtain 5 set around the skeleton assembly mechanism 1, the screw-locking robotic arm 2, the assembly workbench 3 and the screw feeding device 4, which provides protection and improves safety.

[0044] The working principle of this embodiment:

[0045] 1. Assembly of external skeleton: Place the skeletons that need to be pre-assembled on the assembly workbench 3 and assemble them together. They are then pressed and fixed by the first quick clamp 32. The screw-locking robotic arm 2 takes screws from the screw feeding device 4 and locks the screws on the skeletons on the assembly workbench 3. The locked skeletons are ready for subsequent assembly.

[0046] 2. Positioning of the printer frame: In the skeleton assembly mechanism 1, the first lifting drive device 122 in the left positioning component 12 drives the left positioning rod 121 to rise, and then pushes the printer frame above the first base 11 from the right side. The left positioning rod 121 limits the left end of the frame. Then, the fourth cylinder 1432 of the front positioning component 14 pushes the first sliding seat 1433 to move backward, and the fifth cylinder 1521 of the rear positioning component 15 pushes the second sliding seat 1522 to move forward. The first universal ball 141 and the second universal ball 151 respectively touch the front and rear sides of the frame. The thrust of the fifth cylinder 1521 is greater than the thrust of the fourth cylinder 1432, so that the fourth cylinder 1432 is not fully pushed out. The first electromagnet 1211 is activated to magnetically attract the right end face of the frame, thus completing the positioning of the frame.

[0047] 3. Assembly of the rear frame: Operate the two sets of rear support components 19. Hold the handle 013 and pull the two positioning shafts 01 of the rear support component 19 to slide to the front end. Then, use the second quick clamp to clamp the rear end of the positioning shaft 01, fixing the positioning shaft 01 between the front limit block 0121 and the second quick clamp. The upper end of the rear frame has positioning holes that cooperate with the front positioning posts 011 of the two positioning shafts 01. The rear frame is installed on the positioning posts 011 of the two positioning shafts 01 through the positioning holes. Activate the second electromagnet 02 on the rear support component 19 to magnetically fix the upper part of the rear frame. The flipping drive device 154 drives the magnetic attraction component 153 to flip forward to a horizontal position. Activate the third electromagnet 1532 to magnetically fix the lower part of the rear frame, completing the positioning of the rear frame. The first electromagnet 1211 of the left positioning component 12 stops magnetically attracting the base frame. The four sets of lifting components 16 The drive frame is lifted upwards, and the front side of the frame touches the upper limit block 142 after being lifted, while the rear side touches the rear frame after being lifted. The lifting component 16 stops after reaching the designed torque value, achieving surface contact positioning between the frame and the rear frame in the Z-axis direction. The right side of the frame has two hollow holes. The right push component 13 drives the push rod to rise and move to the right through the cooperation of the first X-axis drive device 132 and the second lifting drive device 133. The push rod pulls the frame to the right, so that the frame and the right side of the rear frame are close together, achieving surface contact positioning between the frame and the rear frame in the X-axis direction. The fifth cylinder 1521 of the rear positioning component 15 retracts, and the fourth cylinder 1432 of the front positioning component 14 pushes the frame to continue moving backwards until the frame touches the rear frame, achieving surface contact positioning between the frame and the rear frame in the Y-axis direction. This three-way contact positioning method can greatly improve assembly accuracy.

[0048] 4. Assembly of the rear frame: First, install the fixing plate and two columns at the front end of the base frame, and then install the front frame. The front frame needs to be installed on the upper part of the two columns. The front frame also has two positioning holes. After being pushed back by the positioning shaft 01 of the front support assembly 18 and fixed by the corresponding second quick clamp, the front frame is hung on the positioning column 011 of the positioning shaft 01 on the front side through the positioning holes and fixed by the magnetic attraction of the second electromagnet 02 to achieve the positioning of the front frame and complete the positioning and installation of the printer's main skeleton.

[0049] 5. Assembly of the internal skeleton: After the main skeleton is built, the internal skeleton is built from bottom to top. The skeletons pre-assembled on the assembly workbench 3 are assembled into the main skeleton in this process. With the help of the screw-locking robotic arm 2, the screw-locking operation is performed, which can complete the assembly of most of the printer skeleton structure.

[0050] The above description is not intended to limit the technical scope of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
