Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of automated production of power dividers, and more specifically to an assembly and arrangement device. Background Technology
[0002] During the production of cast aluminum power divider housings, a painting process is required to create a good surface layer. Before painting, the mounting holes on the power divider need to be sealed to prevent paint from entering the divider cavity during painting. Currently, the sealing process mainly involves manually assembling objects one by one to block the mounting holes. This method has two problems: First, the blocking materials cannot be quickly assembled during the process, and they cannot be recycled after painting. Second, due to the small size of the mounting holes, manual assembly is inefficient. Therefore, it is necessary to solve these problems. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the above problems, the present invention provides an assembly device that can automate the assembly of connectors.
[0004] The specific technical solution adopted in this invention is as follows.
[0005] An assembly device is characterized by comprising a guide groove and a drive mechanism for moving connectors within the guide groove. Stations A1 and A2 are sequentially arranged along the conveying path of the guide groove. Station A1 is equipped with a posture adjustment mechanism for adjusting the connectors to posture B for sequential output. Station A2 is equipped with a plug-in assembly mechanism for connecting a group of connectors in posture B to assembly holes on a group of workpieces to be assembled. Posture B is defined as the vertical arrangement of the connector's centerline, the anti-detachment connector located on the upper side of the connector body, and the spacing between the two anti-detachment connectors aligning with the conveying direction of the connectors within the guide groove.
[0006] The specific operation is as follows: The plug-in assembly mechanism includes a lifting unit for lifting a group of plugs in posture B, an A1 spacing adjustment unit for adjusting the spacing between each plug, and an A2 spacing adjustment unit for adjusting the spacing between the overhanging ends of the two anti-detachment connectors on each plug.
[0007] The plug-in assembly mechanism also includes a rotation adjustment unit for adjusting the rotation of each plug-in about its center line.
[0008] The bottom of the guide troughs at stations A1 and A2 is designed to be empty. The size of the empty space allows the operating column to pass through but prevents the connector body from passing through. At the opening of the guide trough at station A2, there is a long strip of support plate to maintain the B posture of the connector. The support plate is movably installed to avoid the connector from moving out of the guide trough in the vertical direction.
[0009] The A1 spacing adjustment unit includes several forks located at the bottom of the guide groove. The forks are spaced apart along the length of the guide groove. Each fork has an opening pointing to one side of the guide groove. The forks are movably installed along the width of the guide groove. Adjusting the movement of the forks along the width of the guide groove allows for avoidance of the movement of the connector or for insertion and assembly of the operating column. Each fork is mounted on the A1 spacing adjustment assembly, which adjusts the spacing between the forks.
[0010] The A1 spacing adjustment component is a horizontally arranged scissor-type telescopic component. The scissor-type telescopic component is installed on the A1 bracket. The A1 bracket is slidably installed on the frame along the width direction of the guide groove. The A1 bracket is connected to the A1 cylinder that adjusts its movement.
[0011] The fork furthest from the A1 workstation on the A spacing adjustment assembly is designated as the A fork. A blocking block is provided on the fork of the A fork to block the movement of the connector.
[0012] The width of the guide groove is consistent with the outer diameter of the larger end of the connector body. The depth of the guide groove is greater than d1 and less than d2, where d1 is the length of the connector body and d2 is the distance between the end face of the larger diameter end of the connector body and the overhanging end of the anti-detachment connector. The maintaining strip is installed movably along the width direction of the guide groove. The maintaining strip is set on one side of the corresponding shift fork arrangement. The maintaining strip is connected to the A translation adjustment cylinder that adjusts its movement.
[0013] The A2 spacing adjustment mechanism includes an A2 adjustment plate located beside the guide groove. The length direction of the A2 adjustment plate is consistent with the length direction of the guide groove. An A2 spacing adjustment part is provided on the side of the A2 adjustment plate closest to the guide groove. Each A2 spacing adjustment part is arranged corresponding to each fork in the separated state. The A2 spacing adjustment part is located on the upper side of the holding strip. The A2 spacing adjustment part has an adjustment port with an opening pointing towards the guide groove. The width of the adjustment port gradually increases along the direction gradually away from the guide groove. The A2 adjustment plate is connected to the A2 cylinder that adjusts its movement. When the A2 cylinder adjusts the A2 adjustment plate to move towards the guide groove, the A2 spacing adjustment part adjusts the two anti-detachment connecting parts to tighten them.
[0014] The attitude adjustment mechanism includes an attitude adjustment plate installed at the opening of the guide trough at station A1. One side of the attitude adjustment plate is fixed to one side wall of the guide trough, and the other side is suspended. The other side of the attitude adjustment plate includes a sloping side and a straight side that extend along the same direction. The distance between the sloping side and the other side wall of the guide trough gradually decreases along the conveying direction of the guide trough. The sloping side is used to adjust the spacing between the two anti-detachment connectors on the plug to be consistent with the conveying direction of the guide trough. The straight side is used to maintain the spacing between the two anti-detachment connectors consistent with the conveying direction of the guide trough.
[0015] The above-mentioned solution provided by the present invention can effectively and reliably arrange, transport, and assemble the connectors, thereby automating the assembly of workpiece connectors and providing support for the automated production of power dividers.

Detailed Implementation
[0029] To make the objectives and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be specifically described below with reference to embodiments. It should be understood that the following text is merely used to describe one or more specific embodiments of the invention and does not strictly limit the scope of protection specifically claimed by the invention.
[0030] As used herein, the terms “parallel,” “perpendicular,” etc., are not limited to their strict geometric definitions, but include tolerances for reasonable and inconsistent machining or human errors.
[0031] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, an assembly device includes a guide trough 10 and a drive mechanism for moving connectors 00 within the guide trough 10. Stations A1 and A2 are sequentially arranged along the conveying path of the guide trough 10. Station A1 is equipped with a posture adjustment mechanism for adjusting the connectors 00 to posture B for sequential output. Station A2 is equipped with a plug-in assembly mechanism for connecting a group of connectors 00 in posture B to assembly holes on a group of workpieces to be assembled. Posture B is defined as the connectors 00 having their centerlines vertically aligned, anti-detachment connectors 02 located on the upper side of the connector body 01, and the spacing between the two anti-detachment connectors 02 aligning with the conveying direction of the connectors 00 within the guide trough 10. The above-mentioned solution provided by this invention can effectively and reliably arrange, convey, and assemble the connectors 00, automating the assembly of workpieces with connectors 00 and providing support for the automated production of power dividers.
[0032] The specific operation is as follows: A direct vibration feeder 16 can be selected for the drive mechanism. The plug-in assembly mechanism includes a lifting unit for lifting a group of plugs 00 in posture B, an A1 spacing adjustment unit for adjusting the distance between each plug 00, and an A2 spacing adjustment unit for adjusting the distance between the overhanging ends of the two anti-detachment connectors 02 on each plug 00. The plug-in assembly mechanism also includes a rotation adjustment unit for adjusting the rotation of each plug 00 around its centerline. The bottom of the guide groove 10 at positions A1 and A2 is set to be empty, with the size of the empty space allowing the operating column 03 to pass through while preventing the plug body 01 from passing through. A long, narrow maintaining plate 31 is provided at the opening of the guide groove 10 at position A2 to maintain the B posture of the plug. The maintaining plate 31 is movably installed to allow the plug 00 to move vertically out of the guide groove 10 to avoid obstruction.
[0033] The detailed plan is as follows: Figure 3 , 5 As shown, the A1 spacing adjustment unit includes several forks 21 disposed at the bottom of the guide groove 10. The forks 21 are spaced apart along the length of the guide groove 10. Each fork 21 has an opening pointing to one side of the guide groove 10. The forks 21 are movably installed along the width of the guide groove 10. Adjusting the movement of the forks 21 along the width of the guide groove 10 allows for avoidance of the movement of the connector 00 or for insertion and assembly of the operating column 03. Each fork 21 is mounted on the A spacing adjustment assembly 72, which adjusts the spacing between the forks 21. The A spacing adjustment assembly 72 is a horizontally arranged scissor-type telescopic assembly 23, which is mounted on the A1 bracket 24. The A1 bracket 24 is slidably mounted on the frame 14 along the width of the guide groove 10. The A1 bracket 24 is connected to the A1 cylinder 25, which adjusts its movement. The scissor-type telescopic assembly 23 adjusts the distance between each fork 21 by increasing or decreasing the distance via the A1 telescopic cylinder 26. When the distance between the forks 21 is small, the distance between the forks 21 is consistent with the distance between the operating columns 03 on the connectors 00 arranged in a row at position B at station A2. When the distance between the forks 21 is large, the distance between the clamps 71 between the forks 21 is consistent with the distance between the mounting holes on the workpieces arranged on the upper side of station A2. The fork 21 furthest from station A1 installed on the A distance adjustment assembly 72 is designated as fork A 21. A blocking block 22 extends from the fork of fork A 21 to block the movement of the connectors 00.
[0034] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 , 6As shown in Figure 7, the width of the guide groove 10 is consistent with the outer diameter of the larger end of the connector body 01. The depth of the guide groove 10 is greater than d1 and less than d2, where d1 is the length of the connector body 01 and d2 is the distance between the end face of the larger diameter end of the connector body 01 and the overhanging end of the anti-detachment connector 02. The maintaining strip 31 is installed movably along the width direction of the guide groove 10. The maintaining strip 31 is set on one side of the corresponding shift fork 21. The maintaining strip 31 is connected to the A translation adjustment cylinder 32 that adjusts its movement. The A2 spacing adjustment mechanism includes an A2 adjustment plate 41 located beside the guide groove 10. The length direction of the A2 adjustment plate 41 is consistent with the length direction of the guide groove 10. An A2 spacing adjustment part is provided on the side of the A2 adjustment plate 41 closest to the guide groove 10. Each A2 spacing adjustment part is arranged corresponding to each fork 21 in its separated state. The A2 spacing adjustment part is located above the holding strip 31. The A2 spacing adjustment part has an adjustment port 42 with an opening pointing towards the guide groove 10. The width of the adjustment port 42 gradually increases in the direction gradually away from the guide groove 10. The A2 adjustment plate 41 is connected to an A2 cylinder 43 that adjusts its movement. When the A2 cylinder 43 adjusts the A2 adjustment plate 41 to move towards the guide groove 10, the A2 spacing adjustment part adjusts the two anti-detachment connecting parts 02 to tighten. The adjustment port 42 can be formed by opening a gap in the A2 adjustment plate 41, or it can be composed of two oppositely arranged conical columns, with the adjustment port 42 formed between the two conical columns.
[0035] The detailed operation is as follows: Figure 2 , 3 As shown in Figure 8, the attitude adjustment mechanism includes an attitude adjustment plate 15 installed at the opening of the guide trough 10 at station A1. One side of the attitude adjustment plate 15 is fixed to one side wall of the guide trough 10, while the other side is suspended. The other side of the attitude adjustment plate 15 includes a beveled side and a straight side extending along its length. The distance between the beveled side and the other side wall of the guide trough 10 gradually decreases along the conveying direction of the guide trough 10. The beveled side is used to adjust the spacing direction between the two anti-detachment connectors 02 on the connector 00 to be consistent with the conveying direction of the guide trough 10. The straight side is used to maintain the spacing direction between the two anti-detachment connectors 02 consistent with the conveying direction of the guide trough 10. The centerline of the connector 00 entering the guide trough 10 is arranged horizontally or vertically, and the attitude adjustment plate and the maintaining strip 31 are arranged adjacent to each other with a gap. In specific operation, two attitude adjustment plates 15 can be set. The two attitude adjustment plates 15 are respectively fixedly installed on the two walls of the guide groove 10, and a gap is formed between the two attitude adjustment plates 15 that allows only the anti-detachment connector 02 to pass through. Figure 5As shown, the lifting unit includes a lifting mounting base 53 and various lifting columns 51 mounted on the lifting mounting base 53. The upper end of the lifting column 51 is provided with a protrusion 52 for interlocking with the assembly slot 04. The lifting column 51 is rotatably mounted on the lifting mounting base 53. The lower end of the lifting column 51 is provided with an adjusting gear 54. The adjusting gear 54 is meshed with a rack 55 mounted on the lifting mounting base 53 and slidably mounted along the length of the guide groove 10. The rack 55 is connected to a rotary adjusting cylinder 56. The lifting mounting base 53 is slidably mounted on the frame 14 in the vertical direction. The lifting mounting base 53 is connected to a lifting adjusting cylinder 57 for adjusting its lifting and lowering.
[0036] More specifically, at the junction of stations A1 and A2, a detection sensor 61 is installed to detect the moving connector 00, and a blocking member 62 is installed to prevent the connector 00 from moving further to station A2. The blocking member 62 is movably installed, and the detection sensor 61 transmits the detected signal to the control device, which adjusts the blocking member 62 to block or avoid the connector. The feed end of the guide trough 10 can be connected to the discharge port of the vibratory feeder 13. The vibratory feeder 13 arranges the disordered connectors 00 one by one and outputs them into the guide trough 10 in either posture A1 or posture A2. At station A1 on the guide trough 10, the connectors are adjusted to posture B. In posture A1, the connectors 00 are arranged horizontally and move along their center line. In posture A2, the connectors 00 are arranged vertically and move in a direction perpendicular to their center line. The anti-detachment connector 02 is located on the upper side of the connector body 01. If the connector 00 enters the guide trough 10 in posture A1, a spiral guide plate on the vibrating trough arranges and conveys the connector 00. Obstructions or blocks are placed on the guide plate to allow connectors 00 in other postures to fall back onto the vibrating plate 13 for rearrangement and conveying. If it enters the guide trough 10 in posture A2, a guide gap is provided at the end of the spiral guide plate. This guide gap allows the operating column 03 to pass through but not the connector body 01, thus changing the connector 00 in posture A1 to posture A2. Alternatively, other methods can be used to allow the vibrating plate 13 to output connectors 00 in postures A1 or A2 one by one. Furthermore, the guide trough 10 can be directly connected to the recycling trough at the connector 00 recycling station after workpiece painting, where unloaded connectors 00 are recycled and conveyed, enabling connector 00 recycling and reassembly. Alternatively, connectors 00 can be manually loaded into the guide trough 10 in postures A1 or A2 at one end. In practice, operators can select the appropriate feeding method based on the specific usage conditions. For example... Figure 11As shown, the connector 00 includes a connector body 01. The outer contour of the connector body 01 is conical. At the smaller diameter end of the connector body 01, two anti-detachment connectors 02 are provided to prevent the connector body 01 from falling off after insertion and assembly. Each anti-detachment connector 02 is composed of an elastic threaded rod, specifically an elastic steel wire. The two elastic threaded rods are arranged in a V-shape with their clamps pointing away from the connector body 01. One end of each anti-detachment connector 02 is fixedly assembled to the connector body 01. The distance between the overhanging ends of the two anti-detachment connectors 02 is greater than the diameter of the larger diameter end of the connector body 01. At the larger diameter end of the connector body 01, an operating column 03 is provided for assembling the connector body 01. The outer diameter of the operating column 03 is smaller than the outer diameter of the larger diameter end of the connector body 01. An assembly slot 04 is provided on the operating column 03, opening inwards from the outer end face of the operating column 03. The length direction of the assembly slot 04 is consistent with the diameter direction of the operating column 03. The center of gravity of the connector 00 is located outside the larger diameter end of the connector body 01. A notch 05 is provided at the smaller diameter end of the connector body 01. The workpiece to be assembled is the housing of a power divider, consisting of a hollow round rod and a square head at one end of the rod. The square head is hollow, and its inner cavity is connected to the cavity of the round rod. Assembly holes are provided on opposite side walls of the square head, and the connector 00 is used to assemble and seal these assembly holes.
[0037] In use, the workpieces to be assembled are arranged in a row and moved to the upper side of the assembly and insertion station, so that the opening of one of the assembly holes on the workpiece is facing downwards. The insertion connector 00 in posture A1 or A2 is adjusted to posture B by the posture adjustment mechanism, and then conveyed to the A2 station one by one. It is moved and positioned by the blocking block 22. When the sensor detects that the number of insertion connectors 00 that have arrived at the A2 station (e.g., 5) is consistent with the preset number (preset to 5), the blocking member 62 is activated to prevent the next insertion connector 00 from continuing to enter the A2 station. The adjusting fork 21 is moved along the width of the guide groove 10 so that each fork is inserted into the operating column 03 on each insertion connector 00 that has moved to the A2 station. The scissor telescopic assembly 23 is activated, and each fork 21 drives the insertion connectors 00 to separate, so that the distance between each insertion connector 00 is consistent with the distance between the assembly holes on each workpiece above it. Then, the lifting unit is adjusted to lift each connector 00. At the same time, the maintaining plate 31 is adjusted to move outward of the guide groove 10 and to move the mounting strip closer to the guide groove 10. The A2 adjustment ports 42 on the mounting strip tighten the two elastic anti-detachment connectors 02 on each connector 00. After the ends of the two anti-detachment connectors 02 on the connector 00 are inserted into the assembly hole, the A2 adjustment plate 41 is adjusted to move away from the guide groove 10 to avoid the connector 00 from moving upward. After the entire anti-detachment connector 02 is inserted into the inner cavity of the square head, the lifting column 51 is adjusted to rotate 90 degrees and push the connector body 01 and the assembly hole to be inserted and fixed. Then, the lifting mechanism, the shift fork 21 and the maintaining plate 31 are adjusted to return to the initial position. Subsequently, each workpiece is rotated 90 degrees around its centerline so that the opening of the assembly hole of the other unassembled connector 00 on the workpiece faces downwards. The assembly operation is then repeated, except that the jacking rod is not rotated 90 degrees again; all other operations remain the same as before. This allows the next set of connectors 00 to be assembled and fixed to the other assembly hole on the workpiece, thus completing the assembly of connectors 00 into the two assembly holes on the workpiece. The assembled workpiece is then removed, and a new set of workpieces with connectors 00 to be assembled is reassembled above the assembly and insertion station. This process is repeated as follows. Figure 12 As shown, this ensures that the connector 00 is reliably assembled in the two assembly holes on each workpiece, and the anti-detachment connectors 02 on the two connectors 00 are staggered, eliminating the need for secondary adjustments to the connectors 00 after assembly, thus improving assembly reliability and efficiency.
[0038] The guide trough 10 can be configured as consisting of a first trough 11 and a second trough 12 arranged sequentially along the conveying direction. A1 station is located at the end of the first trough 11, and A2 station is located at the end of the second trough 12. The first trough 11 is fixedly installed on the direct vibration feeder 16. The empty portion on the bottom of the first trough 11 does not need to penetrate the first trough 11, while the empty portion on the bottom of the second trough 12 needs to penetrate the second trough 12, allowing the operating column 03 of the connector 00 to extend to the outside of the second trough 12 and assemble with the shift fork 21 for spacing adjustment. The empty portion can be set along the entire first trough 11, such as... Figure 10 As shown, partial settings are also possible, such as... Figure 9 As shown, the specific selection is made according to the feeding method. By moving the fixture 71 carrying the workpiece to the upper side of station A2, the assembly holes on the workpiece correspond to the insertion assembly mechanism below. The workpiece can be detachably assembled on the fixture 71 and can rotate around its center line. The fixture 71 is equipped with an adjustment component 72 for adjusting the rotation of the workpiece and a fixture adjustment cylinder 73. For example, the fixture adjustment cylinder 73 pushes the fixture 71 adjustment rack 55 to translate and adjust the synchronous rotation of each workpiece by 180°. Since the fixture 71 and the mechanism for transferring the workpiece using the fixture 71 are not within the scope of this invention, they will not be described again. Those skilled in the art can choose the appropriate method to implement it according to the corresponding circumstances.
[0039] In summary, the arrangement and assembly equipment provided by the present invention can reliably and conveniently adjust the orientation of the connector 00, and reliably and conveniently assemble it with the workpiece.
[0040] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this invention are implemented according to conventional methods in the art unless otherwise specified or limited.
