The terms used in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" used in this specification includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0041] In addition, the technical features involved in different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0042] like Figure 1-2 As shown, an automatic assembly device 1 provided in one embodiment of the present application includes a supporting platform 2, a moving mechanism 3 and an assembling mechanism 4. The moving mechanism 3 is arranged adjacent to the supporting platform 2, and the assembling mechanism 4 is arranged on the moving mechanism 3. The assembling mechanism 4 is used to assemble multiple workpieces to be assembled.

[0043] The above-mentioned carrier 2 is provided with a plurality of profiling grooves 201, which are used to place the workpieces to be assembled, so as to facilitate the production personnel to quickly locate the position of the workpieces to be assembled. The carrier 2 includes a bottom plate 21, a support plate 22, a top plate 23 and a carrier plate 24, the two ends of the support plate 22 are respectively connected to the bottom plate 21 and the top plate 23, the carrier plate 24 is detachably mounted on the top plate 23, and the carrier plate 24 is provided with a plurality of profiling grooves 201, and the shapes of the plurality of profiling grooves 201 are similar to the shapes of the workpieces to be assembled. Among them, the carrier plate 24 is provided with a plurality of threaded holes 241 for connecting with the top plate 23 and a plurality of asymmetrically arranged positioning holes 242, and the asymmetrically arranged positioning holes 242 can be used to locate the installation position between the carrier plate 24 and the top plate 23, so as to facilitate the production personnel to quickly install the carrier plate 24 on the top plate 23. In this embodiment, there are three profiling grooves 201, one profiling groove 201 corresponds to one workpiece to be assembled, and the workpieces to be assembled placed in the three profiling grooves 201 are assembled with each other, thereby completing the assembly of the product. For ease of understanding, taking an automobile controller as an example, the workpieces to be assembled corresponding to the three profiling grooves 201 are the PCBA board, the bottom shell, and the top shell, respectively. During assembly, the PCBA board must be placed in the bottom shell first, and then the top shell is placed on top of the bottom shell and pressure is applied. The bottom shell and the top shell are connected to each other through buckles, thereby realizing the assembly of the controller.

[0044] like Figure 3As shown, the above-mentioned moving mechanism 3 includes a transverse driving component 31 and a vertical driving component 32. The transverse driving component 31 is connected to the vertical driving component 32, and the vertical driving component 32 is connected to the assembly mechanism 4. The transverse driving component 31 is used to drive the vertical driving component 32 to move along the first direction X, and the vertical driving component 32 is used to drive the assembly mechanism 4 to move closer to or away from the bearing platform 2 along the second direction Z to adjust the vertical distance between the assembly mechanism 4 and the bearing platform 2. The first direction X and the second direction Z are perpendicular to each other. That is, the transverse driving component 31 can drive the vertical driving component 32 to move left and right relative to the bearing platform 2, and the vertical driving component 32 can drive the assembly mechanism 4 to move up and down relative to the bearing platform 2. In this embodiment, the transverse drive assembly 31 includes a first drive motor 311, a first base 312, a first transmission assembly (not shown) and a first slider 313. The first drive motor 311, the first transmission assembly and the first slider 313 are all installed on the first base 312. The first drive motor 311 is connected to the first transmission assembly, the first transmission assembly is connected to the first slider 313, and the first slider 313 is connected to the vertical drive assembly 32. The first drive motor 311 drives the first slider 313 to slide along the base through the first transmission assembly, thereby adjusting the position of the vertical drive assembly 32 relative to the support platform 2. Among them, the first transmission assembly can be any transmission mechanism that transmits power, such as a worm gear structure, a gear transmission structure, a screw transmission or other, as long as the power of the first drive motor 311 can be converted into the power for the movement of the first slider 313.

[0045] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the vertical drive assembly 32 includes a connecting plate 321, a second base 322, a second drive motor 323, a second transmission assembly (not shown), a second slider 324 and a mounting plate 325. The connecting plate 321 is respectively connected to the second base 322 and the first slider 313. The second drive motor 323, the second transmission assembly and the second slider 324 are all installed on the second base 322. The mounting plate 325 is connected to the second slider 324. The second drive motor 323 is connected to the second transmission assembly, and the second transmission assembly is connected to the second slider 324. The second drive motor 323 drives the second slider 324 to move through the second transmission assembly to adjust the vertical distance of the assembly mechanism 4 relative to the carrier 2. Among them, the second transmission assembly can be any transmission structure as long as it can realize the power of the second drive motor 323 to be transmitted to the power of the second slider 324 to move.

[0046] like Figure 1-3As shown, for the above-mentioned assembly mechanism 4, it includes adjacently arranged material taking module 41 and shifting and pressing module 42, both of which are installed on mounting plate 325, and both of which can be moved under the action of vertical drive assembly 32 to adjust the vertical distance between the material taking module 41 and shifting and pressing module 42 and the bearing platform 2. The material taking module 41 is used to place the workpiece to be assembled taken at the assembly station, and the shifting and pressing module 42 is used to place another workpiece to be assembled taken at the assembly station and apply pressure to multiple workpieces to be assembled, so that multiple workpieces to be assembled are automatically assembled under the pressure applied by the shifting and pressing module 42. Exemplarily, taking the controller of a car as an example, it usually includes a PCBA board, a bottom shell and a top shell. When assembling, the PCBA board needs to be placed in the bottom shell first, and then the top shell is placed on top of the bottom shell and pressure is applied. The buckles provided on the bottom shell and the top shell are buckled with each other under the action of pressure, thereby realizing the assembly of the product.

[0047] In some embodiments, Figure 1-2 As shown, the material taking module 41 includes a telescopic member 411, a first cover body 412 and a first suction cup group 413. The telescopic member 411 is arranged on the moving mechanism 3, and the telescopic end of the telescopic member 411 is connected to the first cover body 412. The first suction cup group 413 is arranged at one end of the first cover body 412 away from the telescopic member 411. The telescopic end of the telescopic member 411 can drive the first cover body 412 to move synchronously to adjust the position of the first suction cup group 413. The first suction cup group 413 is used to suck the workpiece to be assembled. When working, a negative pressure environment is provided to the first suction cup group 413, and the first suction cup group 413 will suck the workpiece to be assembled under the action of negative pressure. When the material taking module 41 is driven by the moving mechanism 3 to move to the assembly station, the negative pressure environment is stopped to the first suction cup group 413. At this time, the workpiece to be assembled sucked by the first suction cup group 413 naturally falls into the contoured groove 201 at the assembly station, and is left for further assembly.

[0048] like Figure 2 As shown, the first cover body 412 includes a suction cup mounting plate 4121, a middle block 4122 and two spaced apart support blocks 4123, the middle block 4122 is connected to the telescopic end of the telescopic member 411, and both ends of each support block 4123 are respectively connected to the suction cup mounting plate 4121 and the middle block 4122, and the suction cup mounting plate 4121 is used to install the first suction cup group 413, thereby constructing the first cover body 412.

[0049] It is understandable that the telescopic member 411 may be a structure including but not limited to a cylinder, a hydraulic rod or a telescopic rod, as long as it can drive the first cover body 412 to move. The first suction cup group 413 is composed of a plurality of suction cups and a plurality of connectors connected to the suction cups, the plurality of connectors are used to connect to the negative pressure supply device, and the plurality of suction cups are distributed at intervals in a polygonal shape to facilitate the suction of the workpiece to be assembled.

[0050] In some embodiments, Figure 4-5 As shown, the transfer and pressing mold group 42 includes a connecting frame 421, a second suction cup group 422 and a pressing block 423. The connecting frame 421 is connected to the mobile mechanism 3. The second suction cup group 422 and the pressing block 423 are both arranged at one end of the connecting frame 421 close to the carrier 2, and the second suction cup group 422 partially penetrates the pressing block 423. The second suction cup group 422 is used to suck another workpiece to be assembled, and the pressing block 423 is used to press multiple workpieces to be assembled when the second suction cup group 422 places another workpiece to be assembled at the assembly station, so that the multiple workpieces to be assembled are pressed and assembled with each other. It can be understood that the connecting frame 421 can be directly or indirectly connected to the mounting plate 325 of the mobile mechanism 3, and the specific selection can be made according to needs. In this embodiment, the connecting frame 421 includes a connecting rod 4211, a first connecting block 4212 and a second connecting block 4213. The two ends of the connecting rod 4211 are respectively connected to the first connecting block 4212 and the second connecting block 4213. The first connecting block 4212 is connected to the mounting plate 325 of the mobile mechanism 3. The second connecting block 4213 is provided with a second suction cup group 422 and a pressing block 423. The pressing block 423 is located on a side of the second connecting block 4213 away from the first connecting block 4212. The second suction cup group 422 is connected to the second connecting block 4213 and penetrates the pressing block 423. There are two connecting rods 4211, and the two connecting rods 4211 are arranged at intervals, which is conducive to the balanced force of the first connecting block 4212 and the second connecting block 4213.

[0051] In some embodiments, Figure 6 As shown, the side of the pressing block 423 facing the supporting platform 2 is provided with a plurality of protrusions 4231, a recessed portion 4232 and an inclined portion 4233. The plurality of protrusions 4231 are used to press the workpieces to be assembled, the recessed portion 4232 is used to install the second suction cup group 422, and the inclined portion 4233 is used for allowing the user to observe the state of the second suction cup group 422 after sucking the workpiece, so as to facilitate timely adjustment in case of inaccurate position of the second suction cup group 422 after sucking the workpiece.

[0052] In some embodiments, Figure 5 As shown, the shifting and pressing module 42 also includes a sensor component 424 and a buffer component 425. The sensor component 424 and the buffer component 425 are both arranged on the connecting frame 421. The sensor component 424 is used to detect the pressure of the pressing block 423 pressing on the workpiece to be assembled, and the buffer component 425 is used to slow down the speed of movement of the connecting frame 421 relative to the moving mechanism 3 when the pressing block 423 presses multiple workpieces to be assembled.

[0053] In some embodiments, Figure 4As shown, the sensor assembly 424 includes a pressure sensor 4241 and a transmission shaft 4242. The pressure sensor 4241 is arranged on the first connection block 4212, that is, arranged on the end of the connection frame 421 away from the pressing block 423. The two ends of the transmission shaft 4242 respectively abut the pressure sensor 4241 and the end edge of the connection frame 421 close to the pressing block 423. The pressure sensor 4241 is used to detect the pressure of the pressing block 423 pressing the multiple workpieces to be assembled. In this embodiment, the connection frame 421 also includes a second cover body 4214, which is connected to the second connection block 4213, and the second cover body 4214 is covered on the second suction cup group 422, and the second cover body 4214 abuts against the transmission shaft 4242.

[0054] It can be understood that when the pressing block 423 presses against the workpiece to be assembled, the transmission shaft 4242 is acted upon by the reverse force of the pressing block 423 and applies a force to the pressure sensor 4241, so that the force of the pressing block 423 pressing the workpiece to be assembled can be known according to the pressure applied to the pressure sensor 4241, so that the operator can adjust the descending distance of the pressure transfer module 42 according to the pressure applied to the pressure sensor 4241, so as to avoid affecting the assembly effect of multiple workpieces to be assembled due to excessive pressure.

[0055] In some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, the sensor assembly 424 also includes a limiting structure 4243, which is connected to the mounting plate 325, and the limiting structure 4243 is connected to the transmission shaft 4242. The limiting structure 4243 is used to guide and limit the transmission shaft 4242 to ensure that the transmission shaft 4242 moves along its central axis. In this embodiment, the limiting structure 4243 includes a mounting block 42431 and a bearing seat 42432. The mounting block 42431 and the bearing seat 42432 are both arranged on the transmission shaft 4242, the mounting block 42431 is connected to the buffer assembly 425, and the bearing seat 42432 is connected to the mounting block 42431, so that the transmission shaft 4242 can be constrained to move on its central axis, reducing the risk of the transmission shaft 4242 being offset.

[0056] In some embodiments, Figure 4As shown, the buffer assembly 425 includes a protrusion 4251, a connecting member 4252, an adapter block 4253 and an elastic member 4254. The protrusion 4251 is fixedly connected to the moving mechanism 3, the adapter block 4253 is connected to the connecting frame 421 and is connected to the mounting block 42431, the protrusion 4251 is provided with a through hole 42511, one end of the connecting member 4252 is movably arranged on the protrusion 4251, the other end of the connecting member 4252 passes through the through hole 42511 and is connected to the adapter block 4253, and the elastic member 4254 is sleeved on the connecting member 4252. When the moving mechanism 3 drives the connecting frame 421 to drive the pressing block 423 to press against the workpiece to be assembled, the connecting member 4252 moves along the through hole 42511 in the direction away from the pressing block 423, and the elastic member 4254 will be squeezed by the adapter block 4253, and the elastic member 4254 will reversely press the adapter block 4253, ensuring that the pressing block 423 can normally press against the workpiece to be assembled. In this way, by compressing the elastic member 4254, the speed of the connecting frame 421 moving relative to the moving mechanism 3 is slowed down, and at the same time, the connecting frame 421 obtains a movable distance relative to the mounting plate 325, reducing the risk of damage caused by the rigid collision of the connecting frame 421 with the workpiece to be assembled, which is conducive to improving the effect of assembling products by the assembly mechanism 4.

[0057] In some embodiments, Figure 5 As shown, the shifting and pressing module 42 further includes a guide assembly 426, which is respectively connected to the buffer assembly 425 and the moving mechanism 3, and is used to guide the buffer assembly 425 to move in a directional manner relative to the moving mechanism 3. In this embodiment, the guide assembly 426 includes a guide rail 4261 and a guide slider 4262, the guide slider 4262 is slidably arranged on the guide rail 4261, the guide rail 4261 is connected to the mounting plate 325, the guide slider 4262 is connected to the adapter plate, and the guide rail 4261 is arranged along the direction in which the connecting frame 421 moves relative to the mounting plate 325, which is conducive to ensuring that the adapter plate drives the connecting frame 421 to move in a directional manner.

[0058] In some embodiments, please refer again to Figure 1 The assembly mechanism 4 further includes a vacuum generator 43, which is mounted on the mounting plate 325. The vacuum generator 43 is respectively connected to the first suction cup group 413 of the material taking module 41 and the second suction cup group 422 of the pressure displacement module 42. The vacuum generator 43 is used to provide a negative pressure environment to the first suction cup group 413 and the second suction cup group 422. Of course, in addition to the vacuum generator 43, other structures can be used to provide a negative pressure environment to the first suction cup group 413 and the second suction cup group 422, as long as the first suction cup group 413 and the second suction cup group 422 can absorb the workpiece to be assembled.

[0059] In some embodiments, the automatic assembly device 1 also includes a controller (not shown), which is respectively connected to the moving mechanism 3, the material picking module 41 and the shifting and pressing module 42. The controller is used to control the moving mechanism 3 to drive the assembly mechanism 4 to move, and to control the material picking module 41 and the shifting and pressing module 42 to work.

[0060] In order to facilitate understanding of the working principle of the automatic assembly device 1 of the present application, the working process of the automatic assembly device 1 of the present application is introduced below by taking the automobile controller product as an example, as follows:

[0061] First, the workpieces to be assembled (including PCB board, bottom shell and top shell) are placed in the profiling groove 201 on the carrier 2 respectively, which can be placed manually or automatically by a manipulator, and then the horizontal drive component 31 drives the vertical drive component 32 and the assembly mechanism 4 to move left and right in the horizontal direction, so that the material taking module 41 is located above the profiling groove 201 of the PCB board, and the telescopic end of the telescopic member 411 is controlled to extend so that the first suction cup group 413 contacts the PCB board to be assembled, and then a negative pressure environment is provided to the first suction cup group 413, so that the first suction cup group 413 sucks up the PCB board. Then the telescopic end of the telescopic member 411 is controlled to retract, and moved to the assembly station (i.e. the position of the profiling groove 201 where the bottom shell is located) under the drive of the horizontal drive component 31, and the telescopic end of the telescopic member 411 is controlled to extend, and the negative pressure environment is stopped to the first suction cup group 413, so that the PCB board is accurately placed in the bottom shell, thereby completing the work of the material taking module 41.

[0062] Then, the telescopic end of the telescopic member 411 is controlled to retract, and the lateral drive assembly 31 is controlled to move, so that the pressure-shifting module 42 is located above the station where the top shell is placed in the profiling groove 201, and the vertical drive assembly 32 is controlled to drive the mounting plate 325 to move, and the pressure-shifting module 42 is lowered to a preset position, and the second suction cup group 422 contacts the top shell. At this time, a negative pressure environment is provided to the second suction cup group 422, and the second suction cup group 422 absorbs the top shell and rises to a certain height to the full position. Subsequently, the lateral drive assembly 31 is controlled to move the pressure-shifting module 42 to the top of the assembly station, and the vertical drive assembly 32 is controlled to control the pressure-shifting module 42 to descend a preset distance, and then the negative pressure environment is stopped to the second suction cup group 422, so that the top shell is placed at the assembly station, and the pressure-shifting module 42 is lowered by a preset distance, so that the pressing block 423 presses the top shell to buckle to the bottom shell, thereby completing the assembly of the automobile controller.

[0063] The automatic assembly device 1 provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a carrier platform 2, a moving mechanism 3 and an assembly mechanism 4, the carrier platform 2 is provided with a plurality of profiling grooves 201, and the profiling grooves 201 are used to place the workpieces to be assembled; the moving mechanism 3 is arranged adjacent to the carrier platform 2; the assembly mechanism 4 includes a material picking module 41 and a shifting and pressing module 42 which are arranged adjacent to each other, the material picking module 41 and the shifting and pressing module 42 are both installed on the moving mechanism 3, and the material picking module 41 and the shifting and pressing module 42 can both be moved under the drive of the moving mechanism 3, the material picking module 41 is used to place the picked up workpiece to be assembled at the assembly station, and the shifting and pressing module 42 is used to place another picked up workpiece to be assembled at the assembly station and apply pressure to multiple workpieces to be assembled, so that the multiple workpieces to be assembled are automatically assembled under the action of the pressure applied by the shifting and pressing module 42. Through the above structure, multiple workpieces to be assembled can be automatically assembled, which is beneficial to improving production efficiency. In addition, after placing the workpieces to be assembled at the assembly station, the transfer and pressure module 42 applies pressure to the multiple workpieces to be assembled to complete the assembly, avoiding the transfer and pressure module 42 placing another workpiece to be assembled at the assembly station and then positioning it through other structures and then applying pressure to complete the assembly, which is beneficial to improving the assembly accuracy.
