[0046] Specifically, the shell loading track 2, the transplanting mechanism 3, the lower shell conveying mechanism 4, the part picking mechanism 5 and the upper shell conveying mechanism 6 are all arranged on the workbench 1 and supported by the workbench 1. In the process of assembling the upper and lower shells, the lower shell conveying mechanism 4, the transplanting mechanism 3, the part picking mechanism 5 and the upper shell conveying mechanism 6 play a role in picking the components required for use, and the lower shell conveying mechanism 4, the transplanting mechanism 3, the part picking mechanism 5 and the upper shell conveying mechanism 6 are used to convey or pick the lower shell, the parts and the upper shell to the corresponding positions and complete the specified actions, so as to complete the assembly of the upper and lower shells. The structure and working principle of the lower shell conveying mechanism 4, the transplanting mechanism 3, the part picking mechanism 5 and the upper shell conveying mechanism 6 will be described in detail below.
[0047] As an optional embodiment, as shown in Figures 2-4 As shown, the lower shell conveying mechanism 4 comprises a lower shell conveying track 42 and a lower shell picking structure 44, and the lower shell picking structure 44 is arranged at the end of the lower shell conveying track 42; one end of the lower shell conveying track 42 is connected with a lower shell bin 41, used for conveying the lower shell in the lower shell bin 41; the lower shell picking structure 44 can move in position in the Y-axis direction and the Z-axis direction, pick the lower shell conveyed on the lower shell conveying track 42 and adjust the position, and place in the transplanting mechanism 3. In this embodiment, the lower shell bin 41 is arranged at the side of the workbench 1.
[0048] Specifically, the lower shell conveying mechanism 4 is used to convey the lower shell in the lower shell hopper 41 to the shell loading track 2, providing a basis for the placement of subsequent parts and the installation of the lower shell. The lower shell conveying mechanism 4 includes two parts, namely the lower shell conveying track 42 and the lower shell picking structure 44. The front end of the lower shell conveying track 42 is connected with the lower shell hopper 41, and the lower shell picking structure 44 is erected on the end of the lower shell conveying track 42 through the lower shell picking support frame 441. The lower shell hopper 41 stores the lower shell required for product installation, and the lower shell in the lower shell hopper 41 is output outward under the action of the lower shell conveying track 42, and then the lower shell is subjected to subsequent actions under the action of the lower shell picking structure 44. The end of the lower shell conveying track 42 is provided with a lower shell blocking piece 43, and the lower shell conveyed by the lower shell conveying track 42 is blocked under the action of the lower shell blocking piece 43, and the blocked lower shell is picked up by the lower shell picking structure 44 to the transplanting mechanism 3. The lower shell picking structure 44 is supported by the left and right lower shell picking support frames 441, the top of the two lower shell picking support frames 441 is connected by a lower shell picking support plate 442, the lower shell picking support plate 442 is provided with a lower shell picking moving assembly 443, and the bottom of the lower shell picking moving assembly 443 is provided with a lower shell picking assembly 444.
[0049] As shown in Figure 4 The lower shell picking moving assembly 443 includes a Y-axis lower shell picking moving assembly 4431 and a Z-axis lower shell picking moving assembly 4432, which can drive the lower shell picking assembly 444 to move in the Y-axis direction and the Z-axis direction, pick up the lower shell blocked by the lower shell blocking piece 43 in the lower shell conveying track 42, and place the picked lower shell in the transplanting mechanism 3. The arrangement of the lower shell conveying mechanism 4 can ensure the correct conveying of the lower shell, convey the lower shell in the lower shell hopper 41 to the transplanting mechanism 3, and provide a prerequisite for subsequent assembly. In the whole process, it is fully automatic and does not require manual intervention, which can improve work efficiency.
[0050] It should be noted that the Y-axis lower shell picking moving assembly 4431 and the Z-axis lower shell picking moving assembly 4432 in the embodiment can drive the lower shell picking assembly 444 to move through a motor and a motor rod. The specific implementation is not described in detail in the embodiment.
[0051] As an optional implementation, as shown in Figure 3As shown, the transplanting mechanism 3 comprises a first displacement structure 31, a second displacement structure 32, and at least one transplanting plate 33. The first displacement structure 31 is arranged in the X-axis direction, and the second displacement structure 32 is arranged in the Y-axis direction. The transplanting plate 33 can move in position in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction under the action of the first displacement structure 31 and the second displacement structure 32. The first displacement structure 31 is located at the side of the lower shell conveying mechanism 4, and the second displacement structure 32 is located at the side of the shell loading track 2. After receiving the lower shell conveyed by the lower shell conveying mechanism 4, the transplanting plate 33 moves to the shell loading track 2 under the action of the first displacement structure 31 and the second displacement structure 32 in turn, and is connected with the shell loading track 2. A plurality of transplanting grooves matched with the lower shell are arranged on the transplanting plate 33.
[0052] Specifically, the transplanting mechanism 3 has two working states. In one working state, the transplanting mechanism 3 moves to the lower side of the lower shell picking structure 44 to receive the lower shell picked by the lower shell picking structure 44. In the other working state, after receiving the lower shell, the transplanting mechanism 3 moves to the front end of the shell loading track 2 to be flush with the track at the front end of the shell loading track 2 and be connected with the shell loading track 2.
[0053] As shown in the figure, Figure 3 The transplanting mechanism 3 comprises a first displacement structure 31, a second displacement structure 32, and a transplanting plate 33. The first displacement structure 31 and the second displacement structure 32 are arranged vertically in the horizontal direction, which saves installation space and facilitates the realization of the functions. A plurality of transplanting grooves matched with the lower shell are arranged on the transplanting plate 33. In this embodiment, 2x4 transplanting grooves are arranged on the transplanting plate 33. When the transplanting plate 33 receives the lower shell picked by the lower shell picking structure 44 below the lower shell picking structure 44, the transplanting plate 33 moves in the X-axis direction under the action of the first displacement structure 31, which facilitates the receiving of the lower shell picked by the lower shell picking structure 44. After the transplanting grooves on the transplanting plate 33 are filled with the lower shell under the action of the first displacement structure 31 and the lower shell picking structure 44, the transplanting plate 33 moves in position in the X-axis direction under the action of the first displacement structure 31, moves to the second displacement structure 32, and then moves in position in the Y-axis direction under the action of the second displacement structure 32. The second displacement structure 32 pushes the transplanting plate 33 to the front end of the shell loading track 2, so that the two rows of transplanting grooves on the transplanting plate 33 are connected with the shell loading track 2 in turn, which facilitates the subsequent assembly.
[0054] It should be noted that the first displacement structure 31 and the second displacement structure 32 in this embodiment can drive the transplanting plate 33 to move in position through a motor and a motor rod. The specific implementation is not described in detail in this embodiment.

[0056] Specifically, the part picking mechanism 5 is connected with the workbench surface 1 through the support structure 11 and is erected above the shell loading track 2. The part picking mechanism 5 comprises a movement structure 53, a connecting structure 52 and a picking claw 51, the movement structure 53 comprises an X-axis movement structure 531 and a Z-axis movement structure 532, the picking claw 51 is connected with the movement structure 53 through the connecting structure 52, the transplanting plate 33 receives the lower shell picked by the lower shell picking assembly 444, and after the transplanting plate 33 moves to the front end of the shell loading track 2 and is connected with the shell loading track 2 under the action of the first displacement structure 31 and the second displacement structure 32, the picking claw 51 can move in position on the X-axis and the Z-axis under the action of the X-axis movement structure 531 and the Z-axis movement structure 532, for picking the parts required by the product, and placing the parts in the lower shell on the transplanting plate 33 connected with the shell loading track 2.
[0057] It should be noted that if the parts to be picked need to be placed transversely on the transplanting plate 33, but the parts picked by the part picking structure are longitudinally placed, at this time, the connecting structure 52 needs to be set as a rotatable structure, and the rotation angle can be selected as 90°, so as to facilitate the placement of the parts and ensure the accuracy of the placement of the parts. In addition, the X-axis movement structure 531 and the Y-axis movement structure 53 in the embodiment can drive the picking claw 51 to move in position through a motor and a motor rod, and the specific implementation is not described in detail in the embodiment.
[0058] In the embodiment, after the transplanting plate 33 is connected with the shell loading track 2, one end of the transplanting plate 33 is in contact with the pushing structure 21, and the other end is in contact with the shell loading track 2; after the parts are placed on the lower shell on the transplanting plate 33 under the action of the part picking mechanism 5, the two blocking pieces arranged longitudinally (in the Y-axis direction) on the whole transplanting groove or the transplanting groove on the transplanting plate 33 will be retracted, and then the pushing structure 21 will push the lower shell on the transplanting plate 33 to the position of the shell loading track 2, push the lower shell to the shell loading track 2, and then the lower shell is conveyed by the shell loading track 2 for subsequent shell loading.
[0059] It should be noted that the pushing structure 21 is arranged in the X-axis direction of the workbench surface 1 through the pushing mounting frame, and is located at the side of the front end of the shell loading track 2. The pushing structure 21 comprises a pushing motor 211, a pushing connecting rod 212, a moving block 213 and a pushing plate 214. One end of the pushing connecting rod 212 is connected with the pushing motor 211, and the pushing connecting rod 212 can move in position under the action of the pushing motor 211. The moving block 213 is arranged on the pushing connecting rod 212, and the moving block 213 can move in position under the action of the pushing motor 211 and the pushing connecting rod 212. The pushing plate 214 is fixedly connected with the pushing block. When the pushing block moves in position under the action of the pushing motor 211 and the pushing connecting rod 212, the pushing plate 214 can move in position. When the transplanting plate 33 on the transplanting mechanism 3 moves to the front end of the shell loading track 2, the pushing plate 214 contacts the transplanting plate 33. After the part picking mechanism 5 places the part on the lower shell on the transplanting plate 33, the pushing motor 211 will act, and the pushing plate 214 will move in position in the X-axis direction to push the lower shell with the part on the transplanting plate 33, and push the lower shell into the shell loading track 2. The arrangement of the pushing structure 21 can push the lower shell on the transplanting plate 33, and ensure that the lower shell is accurately conveyed into the shell loading track 2.
[0060] As an optional embodiment, as shown in Figure 5 、 Figure 6 The upper shell conveying mechanism 6 is arranged on the workbench surface 1 and is located at the side of the shell loading track 2. The process of assembling the upper shell is after the processes of placing the lower shell and placing the part. The lower shell is conveyed on the shell loading track 2, and stops conveying at the specified position when conveying to the specified position. The upper shell conveying mechanism 6 is matched to complete the installation of the upper shell.
[0061] The upper shell conveying mechanism 6 is arranged on the workbench surface 1 and is located at the side of the shell loading track 2. The process of assembling the upper shell is after the processes of placing the lower shell and placing the part. The lower shell is conveyed on the shell loading track 2, and stops conveying at the specified position when conveying to the specified position. The upper shell conveying mechanism 6 is matched to complete the installation of the upper shell.
[0062] As Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 shown, in the upper shell conveying mechanism 6, the front end of the first upper shell conveying track 61 is connected with the upper shell hopper 65 for conveying the upper shell in the upper shell hopper 65, and the end of the first upper shell conveying track 61 is provided with a first upper shell blocking piece 611 for blocking the upper shell to facilitate the accurate pickup of the upper shell by the first upper shell pickup structure 62.

The top of the two first upper shell pickup support frames 621 is connected by a first upper shell pickup support plate 622, and the first upper shell pickup support plate 622 is provided with a first upper shell pickup moving assembly 623, and the bottom of the first upper shell pickup moving assembly 623 is provided with a first upper shell pickup assembly 624.
[0063] As Figure 6 shown, the first upper shell pickup moving assembly 623 includes a first Y-axis upper shell pickup moving assembly 6231 and a first Z-axis upper shell pickup moving assembly 6232, which can drive the upper shell pickup assembly to move in the Y-axis direction and the Z-axis direction, pick up the upper shell blocked by the first upper shell blocking piece 611 in the first upper shell conveying track 61, and place it in the second upper shell conveying track 63 after picking up. The arrangement of the upper shell conveying mechanism 6 can ensure the correct conveying of the upper shell, conveying the upper shell in the upper shell hopper 65 to the second upper shell conveying track 63, providing a prerequisite for labeling and assembling the upper shell, and in the whole process, it is fully automatic without manual intervention, which can improve work efficiency.

The top of the plurality of second upper shell picking support frames 641 is connected through a second upper shell picking support plate 642, and a second upper shell picking moving assembly 643 is arranged on the second upper shell picking support plate 642. The bottom of the second upper shell picking moving assembly 643 is provided with a second upper shell picking assembly 644.
[0066] As shown in Figure 6 The second upper shell picking moving assembly 643 includes a second Y-axis upper shell picking moving assembly 6431 and a second Z-axis upper shell picking moving assembly 6432. The second Y-axis upper shell picking moving assembly 6431 and the second Z-axis upper shell picking moving assembly 6432 can drive the upper shell picking assembly to move in the Y-axis direction and the Z-axis direction, pick the upper shell blocked by the second upper shell blocking piece 631 in the second upper shell conveying track 63, move the upper shell to a specified position after picking, align and place the upper shell with the lower shell at the specified position, and move the upper shell downward in the Z-axis direction to press the upper shell and the lower shell tightly, thereby ensuring the correct installation of the upper shell and the lower shell. It should be noted that the first upper shell conveying track 61 and the second upper shell conveying track 63 are arranged vertically on the same horizontal line, and the second upper shell conveying track 63 is arranged parallel to the shell loading track 2.
[0067] The specified position described above refers to the fixed structure 22 arranged on the left and right sides of the shell loading track 2. The fixed structure 22 and the second upper shell picking assembly 644 on the second upper shell picking structure 64 are located on the same vertical line. After the fixed structure 22 fixes the lower shell conveyed by the shell loading track 2, the upper shell picked by the second upper shell picking structure 64 can be directly aligned with the lower shell fixed by the fixed structure 22, so that the upper shell and the lower shell are assembled in the fixed structure 22. Specifically, the fixed structure 22 is arranged on the two sides of the shell loading track 2, and the fixed structure 22 can be telescopic under the action of the motor and the motor rod to clamp or release the lower shell. The shape of the end of the fixed structure 22 in direct contact with the lower shell matches the shape of the lower shell. The arrangement of the fixed structure 22 can ensure the accurate clamping of the lower shell, facilitating the corresponding placement of the upper shell by the second upper shell picking structure 64 above the lower shell and ensuring the accuracy of the corresponding position.
[0068] It should be noted that the first Y-axis upper shell pickup moving assembly 6231, the first Z-axis upper shell pickup moving assembly 6232, the second Y-axis upper shell pickup moving assembly 6431 and the second Z-axis upper shell pickup moving assembly 6432 in the embodiment can drive the first upper shell pickup assembly 624 and the second upper shell pickup assembly 644 to move in position through a motor and a motor rod. Details of how to achieve this are not described herein.
[0069] As an optional embodiment, as shown in Figure 7 The assembly device further comprises a labeling mechanism 7, which is arranged on the workbench top 1 and located at the side of the upper shell conveying mechanism 6. The labeling mechanism 7 comprises a label feeding structure 71, a label table 72 and a label pickup structure 73. The label feeding structure 71 is connected with the label table 72 and used to convey labels to the label table 72. The label pickup structure 73 can move in position in the Y-axis direction and the Z-axis direction, pick up the labels on the label table 72 and make the labels stick to the upper shells conveyed by the upper shell conveying mechanism 6.
[0070] Specifically, in general industrial products, in order to trace the source of the industrial products, it is necessary to label the industrial products. Generally, the labels are attached to the upper shells. Therefore, the labeling mechanism 7 is arranged in the embodiment to label the upper shells. The labeling mechanism 7 is arranged on the workbench top 1 and located at the side of the second upper shell conveying track 63. When the upper shells are conveyed on the second upper shell conveying track 63, the labeling mechanism 7 can label the upper shells on the second upper shell conveying track 63.
[0071] The labeling mechanism 7 comprises the label feeding structure 71, the label table 72 and the label pickup structure 73. The label table 72 is connected with the label feeding structure 71. The label feeding structure 71 is arranged with a label roll. The label roll comprises a label base paper and labels. The labels are arranged on the label base paper. The label feeding structure 71 can rotate to convey the label roll and recycle the label base paper. When the label roll is conveyed under the action of the label feeding structure 71, the label feeding structure 71 also recycles the label base paper from the position in front of the label table 72. In this way, the labels are peeled off from the position in front of the label table 72. The peeled labels are left on the label table 72, waiting for the label pickup structure 73 to pick up the labels and label the upper shells subsequently.
[0072] As shown in Figure 7As shown, the label picking structure 73 is erected at the end of the label table 72 through the label picking support frame 731. The label picking structure 73 includes two left and right label picking support frames 731. The top of the two label picking support frames 731 is connected through a label picking support plate 732. The label picking support plate 732 is provided with a label picking moving assembly. The bottom of the label picking moving assembly is provided with a label picking assembly 74. The label picking moving assembly includes a Y-axis label picking moving assembly and a Z-axis label picking moving assembly. The Y-axis label picking moving assembly and the Z-axis label picking moving assembly can drive the label picking assembly 74 to move in the Y-axis direction and the Z-axis direction, pick the label on the label table 72, and move the label under the action of the Y-axis label picking moving assembly and the Z-axis label picking moving assembly to pick the label to the second upper shell conveying track 63 and the upper shell blocked by the label sticking blocking piece 75, and stick the label on the upper shell. In this embodiment, the label picking support frame 731 of the label picking mechanism and the first upper shell picking support frame 621 of the upper shell picking structure can be the same support frame or different support frames. In this embodiment, the first kind is selected.
[0073] It should be noted that the label sticking blocking piece 75 is arranged on the second upper shell conveying track 63 and is used to fix the upper shell conveyed on the second upper shell conveying track 63 and needing to be labeled, so as to facilitate the label picking structure 73 to label the upper shell. Specifically, the structure and working principle of the label sticking blocking piece 75 are the same as those of the fixing structure 22 on the shell conveying track 2, and details are not described herein. In addition, the second upper shell conveying track 63 is also provided with a label sticking detection piece 76. After the label is stuck, the upper shell continues to be conveyed on the second conveying track. The label sticking detection piece 76 is arranged behind the label sticking blocking piece 75 and is used to detect the label stuck on the upper shell. The detection content includes but is not limited to whether the label is stuck, whether the stuck label is complete, and whether the label is stuck at the specified position. The arrangement of the label sticking detection piece 76 can ensure the accuracy of the label sticking on the upper shell.
[0074] As an optional embodiment, the assembly device further includes a detection mechanism 8. The detection mechanism 8 is arranged on the shell conveying track 2 and is used to detect the state of the assembled upper shell and lower shell. Specifically, the detection mechanism 8 is arranged at the end of the shell conveying track 2. The upper shell and the lower shell of the product are conveyed on the shell conveying track 2 after being assembled. In order to verify whether the upper shell and the lower shell are correctly assembled, the detection mechanism 8 is arranged to detect the quality of the product assembly and improve the product yield.
[0075] As an optional embodiment, the assembling device further comprises a control device connected with the shell loading track 2, the transplanting mechanism 3, the lower shell conveying mechanism 4, the part picking mechanism 5, the upper shell conveying mechanism 6, the fixing structure 22, the labeling mechanism 7 and the detection mechanism 8 respectively, and the control device is used for controlling the shell loading track 2, the transplanting mechanism 3, the lower shell conveying mechanism 4, the part picking mechanism 5, the upper shell conveying mechanism 6, the fixing structure 22, the labeling mechanism 7 and the detection mechanism 8. Specifically, the control device is the core device in the embodiment, which is used for ensuring the normal operation of the whole device and monitoring the state of each mechanism.
[0076] In addition, the assembling device further comprises a plurality of sensors, which are arranged on the shell loading track 2, the transplanting mechanism 3, the lower shell conveying mechanism 4, the part picking mechanism 5, the upper shell conveying mechanism 6, the fixing structure 22, the labeling mechanism 7 and the detection mechanism 8, and the sensors are used for obtaining the position information of the upper shell, the lower shell, the part and the assembled product, and sending the obtained position information to the control device to provide reliable signals for the correct control of the control device, so as to cooperate with each other to complete the correct assembly of the upper shell and the lower shell of the product. The arrangement of the control device and the sensor provides work guarantee for the assembling device, ensures the correct assembly of the upper shell and the lower shell of the product, and improves the assembly efficiency and assembly quality of the upper shell and the lower shell of the product.
[0077] As an optional embodiment, as shown in Figure 8 , the assembling device further comprises a shell 9, and the working platform and each mechanism arranged on the working platform are located in the shell 9, and the shell 9 is provided with conveying holes 91 on opposite sides, which are used for inputting the lower shell and outputting the assembled product.
[0078] As an optional embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 , Figure 6 , two material returning tracks are arranged in the assembling device, which are a first material returning track 12 and a second material returning track 66. The first material returning track 12 is arranged on the workbench 1 and located between the part picking mechanism 5 and the shell loading track 2. After the part picking mechanism 5 picks up the part, the control device obtains the information of the part to determine whether the part meets the installation requirements. If the part does not meet the installation requirements, the corresponding part will be picked up by the part picking mechanism 5 to above the first material returning track 12, and then the corresponding part will be placed on the first material returning track 12 and then dropped from the first material returning port by the first material returning track 12. After the part picking mechanism 5 drops the unqualified part from the first material returning track 12, the qualified part will be subjected to subsequent actions on the part picking mechanism 5. The second material returning track 66 is arranged at the end of the second upper shell conveying track 63. If the label detection member detects that the label attached on the upper shell does not meet the labeling standard, the unqualified upper shell with the attached label will be withdrawn from the second material returning track 66 to the second material returning port.
[0079] The working principle of the assembly device described in the embodiment is as follows: the lower shell conveying mechanism 4 is started to output the lower shell from the lower shell conveying bin and pick up the upper shell to the transplanting mechanism 3, and after receiving the lower shell, the transplanting mechanism 3 moves to the front end of the shell loading track 2 and is connected with the shell loading track 2; at this time, the part picking mechanism 5 moves to pick up the parts, and the unqualified parts are thrown out from the first material returning track 12, and the qualified parts are picked up by the part picking mechanism 5 above the transplanting mechanism 3, and then the parts are placed in the lower shell on the transplanting mechanism, and then the pushing structure 21 pushes the lower shell on the transplanting mechanism 3 to the direction of the shell loading track 2, and then the lower shell is conveyed by the shell loading track 2 to the fixed structure 22 for fixing. When the foregoing work is performed, the upper shell conveying mechanism 6 also acts to convey the upper shell, and the labeling mechanism 7 labels the upper shell during the conveying process, and the labeled upper shell is placed on the lower shell fixed by the fixed structure 22 under the action of the upper shell conveying mechanism 6, and the upper shell and the lower shell are pressed to form a complete product, and after the complete product is formed, the product is continuously conveyed on the shell loading track 2, detected by the detection mechanism 8, and then output outward from the conveying hole 91. In this way, the assembly of the lower shell, the parts and the upper shell is completed.
[0080] In the embodiment, the shell loading track 2, the transplanting mechanism 3, the lower shell conveying mechanism 4, the part picking mechanism 5 and the upper shell conveying mechanism 6 are arranged on the workbench 1 to simultaneously work, so that the upper shell, the parts and the lower shell of the product are assembled on the shell loading track 2, and the assembly device has high concentration and automation, is fully automatically operated, improves the assembly efficiency, saves labor and reduces production cost.
