Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of fuse assembly technology, and more specifically, to an automatic assembly device for fuse indicators. Background Technology

[0002] A fuse is a protective electrical device that breaks the circuit by melting its fusible element when the current exceeds a specified value for a certain period of time, due to the heat generated by the fuse itself. Currently, fuses are widely used in high and low voltage power distribution systems, control systems, and electrical equipment as short-circuit and overcurrent protectors, and are one of the most commonly used protective devices.

[0003] A fuse indicator is a status indication that pops up after a fuse has blown. It is an electrical and mechanical functional component during the use of a fuse. The fuse indicator is an indispensable part of the fuse. The components for assembling a fuse indicator include an end plate, an indicator element, a sealing plug, and copper wire. The current assembly method is manual assembly, which is achieved by manually spot welding, riveting, and threading wires to assemble the fuse indicator. This assembly method is not only inefficient but also poses safety hazards.

[0077] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0078] It should be noted that the directional terms such as "up" and "down" in the following text are defined based on the accompanying drawings in the instruction manual.

[0079] The core of this invention is to provide an automatic assembly device for fuse indicators, which can automate the assembly process of fuse indicators, reduce labor costs, improve the efficiency of fuse indicator assembly, and avoid the safety issues that occur during manual assembly.

[0080] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 An automatic assembly device for fuse indicators includes a mounting base 1, a rotary worktable 2, a feeding mechanism 3, a first feeding mechanism 4, a second feeding mechanism 5, a pressing mechanism 6, a flipping mechanism 7, a perforating mechanism 8, a spot welding mechanism 9, and a discharging mechanism 10.

[0081] Specifically, the rotary worktable 2, feeding mechanism 3, first feeding mechanism 4, second feeding mechanism 5, pressing mechanism 6, flipping mechanism 7, piercing mechanism 8, spot welding mechanism 9, and discharging mechanism 10 are all connected to the control cabinet. The control cabinet controls the operation of the rotary worktable 2, feeding mechanism 3, first feeding mechanism 4, second feeding mechanism 5, pressing mechanism 6, flipping mechanism 7, piercing mechanism 8, spot welding mechanism 9, and discharging mechanism 10. The mounting base 1 is equipped with a rotatable rotary worktable 2. The outer periphery of the rotary worktable 2 is equipped with the feeding mechanism 3, first feeding mechanism 4, second feeding mechanism 5, pressing mechanism 6, flipping mechanism 7, piercing mechanism 8, spot welding mechanism 9, and discharging mechanism 10. The control cabinet controls the rotation of the rotary worktable 2 so that the parts conveyed to the rotary worktable 2 can rotate to any of the above mechanisms. Through the processing of the above multiple mechanisms, the automated assembly process of multiple parts is realized.

[0082] The feeding mechanism 3 is used to convey the sealing plug 11 and transfer the sealing plug 11 to the rotary table 2. The operation of the feeding mechanism 3 is controlled by the control cabinet to ensure that the sealing plug 11 on the feeding mechanism 3 is smoothly transferred to the rotary table 2, and the rotary table 2 is controlled to rotate so that the sealing plug 11 is transferred to the next station. The first loading mechanism 4 is used to convey and cut the strip indicator, and transfer the cut individual indicator 12 to the sealing plug 11 on the rotary table 2. The operation of the first loading mechanism 4 is controlled by the control cabinet to ensure that the strip indicator on the first loading mechanism 4 can be smoothly conveyed in the direction close to the rotary table 2, and the cutting of the strip indicator is controlled. The single indicator 12 is transferred after cutting to the existing sealing plug 11 on the rotary table 2. The rotary table 2 is continuously rotated so that the sealing plug 11 with the single indicator 12 is transferred to the next station. The second feeding mechanism 5 is used to transfer the end plate 13 to the sealing plug 11 on the rotary table 2. The operation of the second feeding mechanism 5 is controlled by the control cabinet so that the end plate 13 on the second feeding mechanism 5 is smoothly transferred to the sealing plug 11 on the rotary table 2 with the single indicator 12 installed. The rotary table 2 is continuously rotated so that the sealing plug 11 with the end plate 13 and the single indicator 12 is transferred to the next station.

[0083] The crimping mechanism 6 is used to crimp the sealing plug 11 and the end plate 13. The operation of the crimping mechanism 6 is controlled by the control cabinet to crimp the sealing plug 11 and end plate 13 that have rotated to the crimping position on the rotary table 2. After crimping, the rotary table 2 continues to rotate, transferring the crimped sealing plug 11 and end plate 13 to the next position. The flipping mechanism 7 is used to flip the crimped end plate 13. The operation of the flipping mechanism 7 is controlled by the control cabinet to flip the crimped end plate 13 that has rotated to the flipping position on the rotary table 2. After flipping, the rotary table 2 continues to rotate, transferring the flipped end plate 13 to the next position. The piercing mechanism 8 drills holes in the crimped sealing plug 11. The operation of the piercing mechanism 8 is controlled by the control cabinet to drill holes in the sealing plug 11 on the end plate 13 that has rotated to the piercing position on the rotary table 2 and has been crimped and flipped. After drilling, the rotary table 2 continues to rotate. The rotating table 2 rotates, transferring the already perforated end plate 13 to the next station. The spot welding mechanism 9 controls the copper wire 14 to pass through the hole of the sealing plug 11 and cuts the copper wire 14. The spot welding mechanism 9 bends the cut copper wire 14 and welds it to a single indicator 12. The discharge mechanism 10 is used to output the welded end plate 13. The spot welding mechanism 9 is controlled by the control cabinet to pass the copper wire 14 through the hole of the sealing plug 11 that has been rotated to the spot welding station on the rotating table 2. The copper wire 14 is cut to a preset length and then welded to the single indicator 12. After welding, the rotating table 2 is controlled to rotate, so that the assembled fuse indicator is transferred to the discharge station. The discharge mechanism 10 is controlled by the control cabinet to output the fuse indicator that has been rotated to the discharge station on the rotating table 2. The automatic assembly of the fuse indicator is thus completed.

[0084] The automatic assembly equipment for fuse indicators, configured in the above manner, can achieve automated assembly of fuse indicators, thereby reducing labor costs and increasing production efficiency of finished products while enhancing safety.

[0085] Please refer to Figure 2 The pressing mechanism 6 includes a pressing support 61, a pressing table 62, a first cylinder 63, and a mold 64. The pressing support 61 is fixed to the mounting base 1. The pressing support 61 has a groove on the side near the rotating worktable 2. The pressing table 62 is located on the pressing support 61 and is located near the rotating worktable 2. The first cylinder 63 is located at the upper end of the pressing support 61. The output end of the first cylinder 63 moves along the height direction of the pressing support 61. The first cylinder 63 is connected to the control cabinet. The mold 64 is connected to the output end of the first cylinder 63 and is located above the pressing table 62.

[0086] It should be noted that when the sealing plug 11 and end plate 13 need to be crimped, the control cabinet controls the rotary table 2 to rotate the sealing plug 11 and end plate 13 to the crimping station. After they are in position, the rotary table 2 presses onto the crimping table 62. The control cabinet then controls the first cylinder 63 to extend downwards, thereby moving the mold 64 at the output end of the first cylinder 63 downwards to rivet the sealing plug 11 and end plate 13 onto the rotary table 2. During the crimping process, the crimping table 62 acts as a support. After crimping, the rotary table 2 is controlled to proceed to the next process. After the mold 64 has crimped the sealing plug 11 and end plate 13, the output end of the first cylinder 63 is controlled to retract upwards, thereby moving the mold 64 at the output end of the first cylinder 63 upwards to avoid interference with the next sealing plug 11 and end plate 13 to be crimped.

[0087] The crimping support 61 has a groove on the side near the rotary table 2, which allows the rotary table 2 to rotate smoothly within the groove and avoids interference between the rotary table 2 and the crimping support 61. In this application, the crimping mechanism 6 is set in this way, but in real life, there is no limitation on this, as long as the above technical effect can be achieved.

[0088] Please refer to Figure 3 The perforation mechanism 8 includes a perforation support 81, a perforation platform 82, a second cylinder 83, and a ejector pin 84. The perforation support 81 is fixed to the mounting base 1. The perforation support 81 has a groove on the side near the rotary table 2. The perforation platform 82 is located on the perforation support 81 and is located near the rotary table 2. The second cylinder 83 is located at the upper end of the perforation support 81. The output end of the second cylinder 83 moves along the height direction of the perforation support 81. The second cylinder 83 is connected to the control cabinet. The ejector pin 84 is connected to the output end of the second cylinder 83 and is located above the perforation platform 82.

[0089] Understandably, when it is necessary to drill a hole in the sealing plug 11, the control cabinet controls the rotary table 2, which has already been pressed and flipped, to rotate to the drilling station. Once in position, the rotary table 2 presses against the drilling table 82, and the control cabinet controls the second cylinder 83 to extend its output end downwards, thereby moving the ejector pin 84 at the output end of the second cylinder 83 downwards to drill a hole in the sealing plug 11. During the drilling process, the drilling table 82 provides support. After drilling, the rotary table 2 is controlled to proceed to the next process. After the ejector pin 84 drills a hole in the sealing plug 11, the output end of the second cylinder 83 is controlled to retract upwards, thereby moving the ejector pin 84 at the output end of the second cylinder 83 upwards to avoid interference with the next sealing plug 11 that needs drilling.

[0090] In this embodiment, the diameter of the hole punched on the sealing plug 11 is 0.2mm, but it can also be set to other sizes. There is no restriction on the diameter of the hole, as long as the copper wire 14 can pass through it.

[0091] The perforated support 81 has a groove on the side near the rotary table 2, which allows the rotary table 2 to rotate smoothly within the groove and avoids interference between the rotary table 2 and the perforated support 81. In this application, the perforation mechanism 8 is set in this way, but in real life, there is no limitation on this, as long as the above technical effect can be achieved.

[0092] Please refer to Figure 4 The spot welding mechanism 9 includes a wire-passing mechanism 91 fixed to the mounting base 1. The wire-passing mechanism 91 is used to install copper wire 14 and guide copper wire 14. The spot welding mechanism 9 also includes a spot welding support 92 provided on the mounting base 1. Along the height direction of the spot welding support 92, from top to bottom, there are a wire-threading mechanism 93, a wire-clamping mechanism 94, a wire-cutting mechanism 95 and a clamping mechanism 96. The spot welding support 92 is also provided with a spot welding machine 97 that is horizontal to the wire-clamping mechanism 94. The wire-threading mechanism 93 moves along the height direction of the spot welding support 92. The wire-clamping mechanism 94 and the clamping mechanism 96 are both used to clamp copper wire 14. The wire-cutting mechanism 95 is used to cut copper wire 14. The spot welding machine 97 is used to weld copper wire 14 to a single indicator 12.

[0093] It should be noted that before the entire equipment is in operation, the entire coil of copper wire 14 is manually installed on the wire guiding mechanism 91 according to regulations. After the equipment is started, the control cabinet controls the wire threading mechanism 93 to thread the copper wire 14 into the hole of the split plug, and then controls the wire clamping mechanism 94 to feed the copper wire 14, which has been threaded into the sealing plug 11, downward to the required length. The control clamping mechanism 96 clamps the copper wire 14 from the bottom. After both the wire clamping mechanism 94 and the clamping mechanism 96 clamp the copper wire 14, the control wire cutting mechanism 95 cuts the copper wire 14, and the wire clamping mechanism 94 rotates 180 degrees to bend the copper wire 14 into contact with the surface of the single indicator 12. The control spot welding machine 97 is started to weld the copper wire 14 to the single indicator 12. All mechanisms return to their original positions, and the rotating worktable 2 continues to rotate to the next process.

[0094] In this embodiment, the threading mechanism 93, the wire clamping mechanism 94, the wire cutting mechanism 95, the clamping mechanism 96, and the spot welding machine 97 are arranged as described. However, in real life, there are no restrictions on the arrangement of the spot welding mechanism 9, as long as the above-mentioned technical effects can be achieved.

[0095] Please refer to Figure 5The first feeding mechanism 4 includes a feeding structure 41, a disc 42, a clamping mechanism 43, a cutter 44, and a mechanical gripper 46. The feeding structure 41 is mounted on the mounting base 1, and its outlet is located near the rotary table 2. The feeding structure 41 is driven by a servo motor 24 connected to the control cabinet. The disc 42 is located at the inlet of the feeding structure 41 and is used to store the strip indicator. The clamping mechanism 43 is movably located on one side of the outlet and is used to clamp the strip indicator at the outlet. The cutter 44 is movably located on the other side of the outlet and is correspondingly arranged with the clamping mechanism 43. The cutter 44 is driven by a third cylinder 45 connected to the control cabinet so that the cutter 44 moves in the direction of approaching and moving away from the clamping mechanism 43. The mechanical gripper 46 is movably located on the mounting base 1 and is connected to the control cabinet. The mechanical gripper 46 is used to transfer the cut individual indicator 12 to the rotary table 2.

[0096] Understandably, before the entire equipment is in operation, the strip indicator is manually installed on the disc 42 according to regulations. After the equipment is started, the control cabinet controls the servo motor 24 to drive the feeding structure 41, causing the strip indicator on the feeding structure 41 to move forward horizontally. When the strip indicator moves to the outlet position of the feeding structure 41, the clamping mechanism 43 and the cutter 44 are controlled to move towards the strip indicator until the clamping mechanism 43 and the cutter 44 clamp the strip indicator. Then, the cutter 44 is controlled to move towards the clamping mechanism 43 to cut it into individual indicator 12. Then, the mechanical gripper 46 is controlled to grab the individual indicator 12, and the cutter 44 is controlled to move away from the clamping mechanism 43. The mechanical gripper 46 is controlled to lift the clamped individual indicator 12, rotate it 90 degrees, and place the individual indicator 12 onto the rotary worktable 2 for rotation to enter the next process.

[0097] In this embodiment, the feeding mechanism 3 is equipped with a sensing structure to monitor the presence or absence of the strip indicator. In real life, there are no restrictions on this, as long as the above-mentioned technical effect can be achieved.

[0098] Please refer to Figure 6 The second feeding mechanism 5 includes a rotating mechanism 51, a lifting mechanism 54, a suction mechanism 55, and a pushing mechanism 56. The rotating mechanism 51 is rotatably mounted on the mounting base 1. The rotating mechanism 51 is equipped with a sensor 52 and a support column 53 for mounting the end plate 13. The end plate 13 is stacked on the support column 53. The lifting mechanism 54 is located below the rotating mechanism 51 and is used to lift the end plate 13. The suction mechanism 55 is movably mounted on the mounting plate through the pushing mechanism 56. The output end of the suction mechanism 55 is located above the end plate 13. The rotating mechanism 51, sensor 52, lifting mechanism 54, suction mechanism 55, and pushing mechanism 56 are all connected to the control cabinet.

[0099] It should be noted that before the entire equipment is in operation, the end plate 13 is first manually installed on the support column 53 as specified. After the equipment is started, the control cabinet controls the lifting mechanism 54 to drive it, so that the output end of the lifting mechanism 54 lifts the end plate 13 to the preset height. When the end plate 13 reaches the preset height, the control push mechanism 56 is operated to push the suction mechanism 55 to move above the end plate 13. At this time, the control pull mechanism 55 is operated. The suction mechanism 55 uses the principle of negative pressure to suck up the end plate 13, sucks up one end plate 13, and transfers the end plate 13 sucked up by the suction mechanism 55 to the rotary worktable 2 through the push mechanism 56. Then, the control pull mechanism 56 is controlled to rotate to the next process.

[0100] When the inner end plate 13 of the rotating mechanism 51 is used up, the sensor 52 will send a signal that the inner end plate 13 is used up to the control cabinet. The control cabinet will control the rotating mechanism 51 to rotate and turn the outer end cover to the inner side. In this embodiment, it is set up in this way to achieve continuous replenishment of the end plate 13. In real life, there are no restrictions on this, as long as the above technical effect can be achieved.

[0101] Please refer to Figure 7 The feeding mechanism 3 includes a circular vibratory plate 31, a sensor 34, a linear vibrator 35, a fourth cylinder 37, a robotic arm mechanism 38, and a cylinder guide rail assembly 39. The circular vibratory plate 31 is mounted on the mounting base 1. The outlet of the circular vibratory plate 31 is connected to the feeding track 32 via an inclined rail. The outlet of the feeding track 32 is mounted on the mounting base 1 via a feeding support 33. The inlet of the feeding track 32 is equipped with a sensor 34, which is used to sense the number of sealing plugs 11 on the feeding track 32. The linear vibrator 35 is mounted on the mounting base 1 and located at... Below the feeding track 32, it is used to drive the sealing plug 11 to the outlet of the feeding track 32. The pushing mechanism 36 is located on the feeding support 33 and on one side of the outlet of the feeding track 32. The pushing mechanism 36 is connected to the fourth cylinder 37. The robot arm mechanism 38 is located on the feeding support 33. The robot arm mechanism 38 is movable through the cylinder guide rail assembly 39. The circular vibrating plate 31, sensor 34, linear vibrator 35, fourth cylinder 37, robot arm mechanism 38 and cylinder guide rail assembly 39 are all connected to the control cabinet.

[0102] Understandably, before the entire equipment is in operation, the sealing plug 11 is manually placed into the vibratory plate 31 according to regulations. After the equipment is started, the control cabinet controls the operation of the vibratory plate 31. The vibration of the vibratory plate 31 causes the sealing plug 11 to be vibrated from the outlet of the vibratory plate 31 to the feeding track 32 via the inclined rail. The number of sealing plugs 11 on the feeding track 32 is monitored by the sensor 34. When the sealing plug 11 on the feeding track 32 is vibrated to the outlet of the feeding track 32, the fourth cylinder 37 is controlled to drive, so that the pushing mechanism 36 at the output end of the fourth cylinder 37 pushes the sealing plug 11 to the discharge station. The cylinder guide rail assembly 39 is controlled to run, so that the robot arm mechanism 38 on the cylinder guide rail assembly 39 moves to the top of the sealing plug 11. The robot arm mechanism 38 is controlled to pick up the sealing plug 11 and place it on the rotary worktable 2 for rotation to enter the next process.

[0103] The sensor 34 is used to sense the number of sealing plugs 11 on the feeding track 32. When there are no sealing plugs 11 on the feeding track 32, the sensor 34 sends the signal to the control cabinet, which controls the circular vibrating plate 31 to vibrate, so that the sealing plugs 11 in the circular vibrating plate 31 are vibrated to the feeding track 32. When there are too many sealing plugs 11 on the feeding track 32, the sensor 34 sends the signal to the control cabinet, which controls the circular vibrating plate 31 to stop vibrating, so as to avoid the situation where there are too many sealing plugs 11 on the feeding track 32 and they are prone to falling off.

[0104] Please refer to Figure 8 The flipping mechanism 7 includes a flipping support 71 and a clamp 73. The flipping support 71 is located on the mounting base 1. The flipping support 71 is equipped with a movable stage 72 connected to the control cabinet. The bottom of the movable stage 72 is equipped with a guide rail and a slider. The clamp 73 is located on the side of the movable stage 72 close to the rotary worktable 2. The clamp 73 is rotatably connected to the movable stage 72 through a turntable 74. The turntable 74 is connected to the control cabinet. The clamp 73 is used to clamp the end plate 13 on the rotary worktable 2.

[0105] It should be noted that when the crimped end plate 13 needs to be flipped, the control cabinet controls the clamp 73 to clamp the end plate 13 on the rotary table 2, then controls the turntable 74 to rotate 180 degrees to flip the end cap, and then controls the moving stage 72 to move, thereby moving the end plate 13 and placing the flipped end plate 13 onto the rotary table 2. After the flipped end plate 13 is moved into place, the moving stage 72 is controlled to move back to its initial position to prepare for the flipping of the next end plate 13.

[0106] In this embodiment, the turntable 74 is also moved by a cylinder, but in real life, this is not a limitation. The moving platform 72 moves by the slide rail and slider at the bottom.

[0107] Please refer to Figure 9The discharge mechanism 10 includes a discharge support 101, a suction cup 104, and a discharge channel 105. The discharge support 101 is mounted on the mounting base 1. The top of the discharge support 101 is equipped with a fifth cylinder 102 connected to the control cabinet. The output end of the fifth cylinder 102 extends and retracts in the direction of approaching and moving away from the rotary worktable 2. The output end of the fifth cylinder 102 is equipped with a first mounting plate for mounting a sixth cylinder 103. The output end of the sixth cylinder 103 extends and retracts in the height direction of the discharge support 101. The output end of the sixth cylinder 103 is equipped with a second mounting plate. The sixth cylinder 103 is connected to the control cabinet. The suction cup 104 is mounted on the second mounting plate and is connected to the vacuum negative pressure channel. The vacuum negative pressure channel is connected to the control cabinet. The suction cup 104 is used to clamp and release the end plate 13 on the rotary worktable 2. The discharge channel 105 is mounted on the mounting base 1 and is located between the rotary worktable 2 and the discharge support 101.

[0108] Understandably, when the welded end plate 13 needs to be unloaded, the control cabinet controls the fifth cylinder 102 and the sixth cylinder 103 to move the suction cup 104 above the end plate 13 to be unloaded, controls the negative pressure channel of the suction cup 104 to operate, and clamps the end plate 13 on the rotary table 2. The sixth cylinder 103 then causes the end plate 13 to detach from the rotary table 2. The fifth cylinder 102 then uses the suction cup 104 to move the end plate 13 away from the rotary table 2. When the end plate 13 is moved to the feed inlet of the unloading channel 105, the negative pressure channel is stopped so that the suction cup 104 releases the end plate 13 and it falls into the unloading channel 105.

[0109] Please refer to Figure 10 The rotary worktable 2 includes a base 21 and a turntable 22. The base 21 is fixed to the mounting base 1. The turntable 22 is rotatably located on the upper end of the base 21. The turntable 22 is driven by a conveyor belt 23 and a motor 24. The motor 24 is connected to the control cabinet. Multiple sets of storage plates 25 for placing end plates 13 are evenly arranged on the outer periphery of the upper end of the turntable 22.

[0110] It should be noted that when the equipment is running, the motor 24 is controlled by the control cabinet to drive the turntable 22 to rotate, so that the parts on the storage plate 25 of the turntable 22 can rotate to each workstation in a regular manner, thereby realizing the orderly processing of the parts.

[0111] In summary, the automatic assembly equipment for fuse indicators provided by this invention is a fully automatic assembly device that can automate the assembly process of fuse indicators, thereby reducing labor costs, improving the efficiency of fuse indicator assembly, and avoiding the safety issues that occur during manual assembly.
