A controller 21 is provided on the right side wall of the box 1.
[0024] Example 2:
[0025] Please see Figure 2-3The control mechanism 20 includes a fixed box 200 inside the housing 1. The left and right side walls of the fixed box 200 are connected to the left and right side walls inside the housing 1. A lead screw 208 is installed inside the fixed box 200. Both ends of the lead screw 208 are connected to bearings installed on the left and right side walls inside the fixed box 200, respectively. A driven bevel gear 2001 is sleeved on the left side of the outer wall of the lead screw 208. A driving bevel gear 2002 that meshes with the driven bevel gear 2001 is installed inside the fixed box 200. A rotating rod 2004 is installed at the bottom of the driving bevel gear 2002. A motor 2003 is installed at the bottom inside the housing 1. The output end of the motor 2003 is connected to one end of the rotating rod 2004. A slider 209 is sleeved on the outer wall of the lead screw 208. A limiting block is installed on the rear side wall of the slider 209. A limiting groove is opened on the rear side wall inside the fixed box 200. The limiting block slides within the limiting groove. Under the action of the limiting groove, the movement of the limiting block is more stable, thereby driving the limiting block to move. The rack 204 moves more stably. The rack 204 is provided on the rear side wall of the limiting block. The left and right side walls of the box 1 are provided with openings 205. The rack 204 matches the openings 205, so that the rack 20 can extend to the outside of the box 1 when it moves. Because the internal space of the box 1 is limited, a rotating shaft 202 is provided at the bottom of the box 1 through a bearing. One end of the rotating shaft 202 passes through the top of the box 1 and is connected to the bottom of the turntable 15. A gear 201 that meshes with the rack 204 is sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 202. The top of the slider 209 is provided with a pressing block 207. The top of the fixed box 200 is provided with a sliding groove. The pressing block 207 slides in the sliding groove. Under the action of the sliding groove, the pressing block 207 moves more stably.

Both sides of one end of the movable rod 2064 are inclined. A pressing block 207 presses against the inclined surfaces of the movable rod 2064. 2064 drives the sliding plate 2062 to move, the sliding plate 2062 stretches the return spring 2063, thereby the sliding plate 2062 drives the pressure rod 2061 to squeeze the pressure sensor 2060. The pressure sensor 2060 receives pressure and transmits a signal to the controller 21. The controller 21 controls the motor 2003 to stop working. The outer wall of the movable rod 2064 is fitted with the return spring 2063. One end of the return spring 2063 is connected to the front side wall of the sliding plate 2062, and the other end of the return spring 2063 is connected to the front side wall of the cavity 2030. The pressure rod 2061 is provided on the rear side wall of the sliding plate 2062, and the pressure sensor 2060 is provided on the rear side wall of the cavity 2030.
[0027] Example 1:
[0028] Please see Figure 5 The material discharge mechanism 13 includes a fixed frame 130 on the top of the box 1. A rotating plate 131 is rotatably connected to the left and right side walls of the fixed frame 130. A rotating shaft is provided on the right inner side wall of the rotating plate 131. The rotating shaft is connected to a bearing on the right inner side wall of the fixed frame 130. A drive motor 134 is provided on the left inner side wall of the fixed frame 130. One end of the drive motor 134 passes through the left inner side wall of the fixed frame 130 and is connected to the left inner side wall of the rotating plate 131. An electric telescopic rod 133 is provided on the front inner side wall of the rotating plate 131. A pusher plate 132 is connected to one end of the electric telescopic rod 133. A hopper 14 is inclinedly provided on the front side wall of the box 1. The drive motor 134 drives the rotating plate 131 to rotate to a horizontal position. Then, under the action of the electric telescopic rod 133, it drives the pusher plate 132 to move. The pusher plate 132 drives the assembled parts to be discharged from the hopper 14 into the external storage bin.
[0029] Working principle: When assembling multiple parts in batches, multiple sets of feeders feed different parts. The operator controls the controller 21, and the first robotic arm 8 picks up parts from feeders 3 (9), 4 (10), and 5 (11) and places them on station 1 (16). The motor 2003 drives the rotating rod 2004 to rotate, which in turn drives the driving bevel gear 2002 to rotate. The driving bevel gear 2002 then drives the driven bevel gear 2001 to rotate, which in turn drives the lead screw 208 to rotate. As a result, the slider 209 moves outside the lead screw 208. The wall moves, the slider 209 moves the limiting block, the limiting block moves the rack 204, the rack 204 moves the gear 201, the gear 201 moves the rotating shaft 202, and the rotating shaft 202 moves the turntable 15. When the slider 209 moves, it moves the pressing block 207. The pressing block 207 presses the inclined surface of the movable rod 2064. The movable rod 2064 moves the sliding plate 2062. The sliding plate 2062 stretches the return spring 2063, thereby the sliding plate 2062 drives the pressure rod 2061 to apply pressure. Sensor 2060 is pressed, and the pressure sensor 2060 transmits a signal to controller 21 when it receives pressure. Controller 21 controls motor 2003 to stop working. At this time, rotating shaft 202 drives turntable 15 to rotate 90 degrees. Then, the first robot arm 8 repeats the above actions. The second robot arm 6 picks up parts from feeder 3 and feeder 5 and puts them into station 17 in sequence. Then the turntable rotates 90 degrees again (operating in the same way as the above-mentioned rotating turntable 15). At this time, station 18 is located directly below the pin head 41. Under the action of cylinder 43, piston rod 42 is driven to move forward. As the piston rod 42 moves downwards, the pressure pin head 41 moves downwards to assemble the parts. After assembly, the turntable 15 rotates 90 degrees (operating in the same way as described above). Then, the drive motor 134 drives the rotating plate 131 to rotate to a horizontal position. Then, under the action of the electric telescopic rod 133, the pusher plate 132 moves. The pusher plate 132 carries the assembled parts from the hopper 14 to the external storage bin. Then, the turntable 15 rotates 90 degrees (operating in the same way as described above) and returns to its original position, and the above actions are repeated.
[0030] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
