Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of socket assembly technology, and more particularly to an automatic assembly device for the base plate component of a GFCI socket. Background Technology

[0002] A GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) is a ground fault leakage current device designed to protect people from severe or fatal electric shocks. Because GFCI detects ground faults, it can also prevent some electrical fires and reduce the current flowing through the electrical circuits of others. Its working principle is as follows: In a home wiring system, under normal circumstances, the current in the live wire and neutral wire at a power outlet should be equal. The GFCI monitors the current difference; once the difference exceeds 4-6 milliamps, it cuts off the power supply, preventing fatal electric shocks and ensuring personal safety.

[0003] Due to the need for reset, the internal components of the GFCI socket include a spring. Additionally, two threaded terminals are provided on each side of the GFCI socket to mechanically and / or electrically couple the wires.

[0004] In the current GFCI socket assembly process, threaded terminals and springs are assembled separately on different equipment, resulting in low production efficiency and a large overall production line size. Summary of the Invention

[0044] Example 1

[0045] Please see Figure 1-7 This invention provides a technical solution: an automatic assembly device for the base plate components of a GFCI socket, comprising:

[0046] Turntable 1, on which several positioning seats 11 are provided, and spring inlet holes 111 are provided on the side wall of the positioning seats 11;

[0047] The bottom shell feeding line 2 is located on one side of the turntable 1, and a first feeding component 21 is provided on one side of the bottom shell feeding line 2.

[0048] The unloading conveyor line 3 is located on one side of the turntable 1, and the bottom shell loading line 2 and the unloading conveyor line 3 are arranged in a straight line.

[0049] The circuit board feeding mechanism includes a circuit board feeding line 4, a circuit board flipping assembly 5, and a circuit board traversing assembly 6. The circuit board flipping assembly 5 is used to clamp the circuit board on the circuit board feeding line 4 and flip it 180 degrees upward. The circuit board traversing assembly 6 is used to clamp the circuit board and transport it into the positioning seat 11.

[0050] Spring feeding assembly 7, which is used to supply a single spring to positioning seat 11;

[0051] The first threaded terminal mechanism includes a threaded terminal feeding assembly 8 and a threaded terminal assembly 9.

[0052] The second threaded terminal mechanism is located on one side of the first threaded terminal mechanism.

[0053] The assembly equipment enables single-device assembly of springs and threaded terminals. The first threaded terminal mechanism completes the simultaneous assembly of two threaded terminals on one side of the GFCI socket in one operation, and the second threaded terminal mechanism similarly assembles two threaded terminals, effectively improving the assembly efficiency of the GFCI socket and reducing the overall volume of the GFCI socket assembly line. The bottom shell feeding line 2 and the unloading conveyor line 3 are arranged in a straight line on the same side of the turntable 1, facilitating simultaneous monitoring of bottom shell feeding and finished product unloading by operators.

[0054] The first feeding assembly 21 includes a first support 211, a first side-push cylinder 212, a first lifting cylinder 213, and a feeding pneumatic gripper 214. The first side-push cylinder 212 is fixedly mounted on the first support 211, and the first lifting cylinder 213 is slidably connected to the first support 211. The first side-push cylinder 212 is used to drive the first lifting cylinder 213 to slide horizontally. The feeding pneumatic gripper 214 is fixedly mounted on the piston rod of the first lifting cylinder 213. The feeding pneumatic gripper 214 can move linearly in the horizontal direction and move in the Z-axis direction, clamping the bottom shell conveyed on the bottom shell feeding line 2 and placing it into the positioning seat 11. A second feeding assembly is provided on one side of the unloading conveyor line 3. The structure of the second feeding assembly is the same as that of the first feeding assembly 21. The second feeding assembly clamps the product assembled in the positioning seat 11 and places it on the unloading conveyor line 3 for unloading and conveying.

[0055] The circuit board flipping assembly 5 includes a circuit board lifting cylinder 51, a first rotary cylinder 52, a circuit board pneumatic gripper 53, and a support plate 54. The circuit board lifting cylinder 51 is located at one end of the circuit board feeding line 4. The first rotary cylinder 52 is fixedly mounted on the piston rod of the circuit board lifting cylinder 51. The circuit board pneumatic gripper 53 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the first rotary cylinder 52. The support plate 54 is fixedly mounted on the circuit board pneumatic gripper 53. The circuit board is fed through the circuit board feeding line 4. When the circuit board pneumatic gripper 53 grips the circuit board, the support plate 54 abuts against the surface of the circuit board. Then, the circuit board lifting cylinder 51 causes the circuit board pneumatic gripper 53 to move upward. After that, the first rotary cylinder 52 drives the circuit board pneumatic gripper 53 to rotate 180 degrees. The support plate 54 supports the bottom of the circuit board, effectively ensuring the clamping effect of the circuit board and facilitating the precise clamping and transportation by the subsequent circuit board lateral moving assembly 6, which in turn facilitates the accurate placement of the circuit board into the positioning seat 11.

[0056] The circuit board lateral movement assembly 6 includes a first Y-axis driver 61, a circuit board lifting cylinder 62, and a circuit board clamping cylinder 63. A movable seat 611 is mounted on the first Y-axis driver 61. The circuit board lifting cylinder 62 is fixedly mounted on the movable seat 611, and the circuit board clamping cylinder 63 is fixedly mounted on the piston rod of the circuit board lifting cylinder 62. After clamping the circuit board on the pneumatic gripper 53, the circuit board clamping cylinder 63 moves upward by retracting the piston rod of the circuit board lifting cylinder 62. Then, through the horizontal sliding of the movable seat 611 on the first Y-axis driver 61, it moves above the positioning seat 11 on the turntable 1, placing the circuit board into the positioning seat 11.

[0057] The spring feeding assembly 7 includes a spring feeding base 71, a sliding seat 72, a spring distributing track 73, a spring distributing cylinder 74, and a spring lifting cylinder 75. A lifting cylinder 711 is provided below the spring feeding base 71. The sliding seat 72 is slidably connected to the spring feeding base 71. The spring distributing track 73 is fixedly installed on the sliding seat 72. A spring inlet hole 731 is provided on one opposite side wall of the spring distributing track 73. A spring distributing block 732 is provided inside the spring distributing track 73. A spring receiving hole corresponding to the spring inlet hole 731 is provided on the spring distributing block 732. The piston rod of the spring distributing cylinder 74 is connected to one side of the spring distributing block 732. The piston rod of the spring lifting cylinder 75 passes through the spring distributing track 73. A spring feeding pipe 76 is provided on one side of the spring feeding assembly 7. When the spring is installed, the spring in the spring supply tube 76 enters the spring receiving hole on the spring distribution block 732 in the spring distribution track 73 through the spring inlet hole 731. Then, the spring loading base 71 descends and disengages from the spring supply tube 76. After that, the sliding seat 72 moves towards the turntable 1 as a whole. The spring distribution track 73 extends between two adjacent positioning seats 11 on the turntable 1. Then, the piston rod of the spring distribution cylinder 74 retracts, so that the piston rod of the spring lifting cylinder 75, the spring in the spring receiving hole on the spring distribution block 732, and the spring inlet hole 111 are aligned in a straight line. Then, the piston rod of the spring lifting cylinder 75 extends and pushes the spring into the GFCI socket on the positioning seat 11, completing the spring assembly. Finally, the spring supply assembly 7 resets, and the spring inlet hole 731 of the spring distribution track 73 aligns with the outlet of the spring supply tube 76.

[0058] The threaded terminal feeding assembly 8 includes a double-track vibratory feeder, a terminal distribution track 82, a terminal push block 83, and a terminal push cylinder 84. The double-track vibratory feeder is provided with two parallel discharge tracks 81. The end of the discharge track 81 is provided with a terminal distribution track 82. The two terminal distribution tracks 82 are arranged facing each other and are parallel. The terminal push block 83 is fixedly installed on the piston rod of the terminal push cylinder 84.

[0059] When the threaded terminals of the dual-track vibratory feeder are discharged, they are simultaneously input to the terminal distribution track 82 through two discharge tracks 81. Then, under the action of the piston rod of the terminal push cylinder 84, the two terminal push blocks 83 move the two threaded terminals toward the gap between the two discharge tracks 81. The two threaded terminals move toward each other and are in a parallel state after contacting the end plate of the terminal distribution track 82, which makes it easy for the threaded terminal assembly 9 to grab the two threaded terminals at the same time.

[0060] The threaded terminal assembly 9 includes a second Y-axis driver 91, a terminal lifting cylinder 92, a mounting base 93, a rotating seat 94, a synchronization plate 95, terminal pneumatic grippers 96, a rack 97, and a driver 98. The terminal lifting cylinder 92 is slidably connected to the second Y-axis driver 91. The mounting base 93 is fixedly mounted on the piston rod of the terminal lifting cylinder 92. The rotating seat 94 is mounted on the mounting base 93. The synchronization plate 95 is rotatably mounted on the rotating seat 94 via a rotating shaft. The synchronization plate 95 has two parallel terminal pneumatic grippers 96. The driver 98 is used for the linear reciprocating movement of the rack 97. A gear is sleeved on the rotating shaft, and the rack 97 meshes with the gear. The driver 98 can specifically be an electric push rod.

[0061] The threaded terminal assembly assembly 9 uses two parallel pneumatic terminal grippers 96 on the synchronization plate 95 to simultaneously grip two threaded terminals. After the synchronization plate 95 moves horizontally and vertically via the second Y-axis driver 91 and the terminal lifting cylinder 92, and moves above the positioning seat 11, the driver 98 drives the synchronization plate 95 to rotate by extending or retracting the drive rack 97, precisely adjusting the angle so that the angle of the two threaded terminals corresponds to the socket position on the positioning seat 11, facilitating simultaneous insertion and assembly.

[0062] Working principle: The first feeding component 21 clamps the bottom shell conveyed on the bottom shell feeding line 2 and places it into the positioning seat 11 on the turntable 1. When the turntable 1 drives the bottom shell to rotate to the side of the circuit board feeding line 4, the circuit board flipping component 5 clamps the circuit board on the circuit board feeding line 4 and flips it 180 degrees upward. The circuit board lateral moving component 6 clamps the circuit board and conveys it into the positioning seat 11. Then, the spring feeding component 7 supplies a single spring to the positioning seat 11 through the spring inlet hole 111 on the side wall of the positioning seat 11. Then, the turntable 1 drives the bottom shell to rotate sequentially to the first threaded terminal mechanism and the second threaded terminal mechanism for threaded terminal assembly. Finally, the turntable 1 drives the bottom shell to rotate to the side of the unloading conveyor line 3. The assembled product is clamped and placed on the unloading conveyor line 3 for unloading and conveying.

[0064] Everything else is the same as in Embodiment 1, except that a vision camera 31 is provided on one side of the unloading conveyor line 3, and the vision camera 31 faces the positioning seat 11. The vision camera 31 performs visual inspection on the GFCI socket after assembly and before unloading to identify products that have missing springs or threaded terminals.
