Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of automation, and in particular to an automatic assembly machine for efficiently assembling hair curlers. Background Art

[0002] Hair curlers are a common hair curling tool, widely used in both home and professional hair salons. They consist of a barrel and a hair band that wraps around the barrel and secures it with methods like heat-seal. Traditional manual assembly of hair curlers is not only inefficient but also prone to inconsistent product quality due to human factors. Therefore, developing an efficient automatic assembly machine for hair curlers is crucial. This machine automatically assembles the barrel and yarn, significantly improving production efficiency and product quality, while also reducing production costs and increasing profits.

[0003] For example, patent publication number CN205254463U discloses an automatic assembly machine for hair curlers, comprising an assembly platform, a barrel conveying mechanism, a barrel and yarn winding mechanism, a yarn conveying mechanism, a yarn shearing mechanism, a welding mechanism, and a barrel removing mechanism. The barrel removing mechanism clamps the barrel on the barrel conveying mechanism and moves it onto a positioning rod. The yarn conveying mechanism conveys the yarn to the positioning rod and positions it in contact with the edge of the positioning rod. The yarn shearing mechanism cuts the lower portion of the yarn according to a predetermined length. The positioning rod rotates to drive the yarn to rotate, thereby winding it around the outer periphery of the barrel. The welding mechanism welds the cut edge of the yarn. The barrel removing mechanism removes the hair curler from the positioning rod and moves a new barrel onto the positioning rod, and the above process is repeated repeatedly. This patent is easy to use and greatly improves the assembly efficiency of the hair curlers. Since the entire process is automatically controlled by the overall control program, the influence of human factors is reduced, so that the hair curlers produced in the same batch have higher quality stability.

[0004] However, in the above patent, since the positioning rod is cantilevered, the force applied by the welding mechanism on the positioning rod for a long time will cause the positioning rod to undergo plastic deformation, affecting the use of the positioning rod and further affecting the overall quality of the hair curler.

[0005] In view of this, it is necessary to propose a new technical solution to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology. Summary of the Invention

When a component is referred to as being "disposed on" another component, it may be directly disposed on the other component or there may be an intermediate component.

[0075] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application pertains. The terms used herein in the specification of this application are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit this application. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0076] like Figures 1 to 15As shown, the present application provides an automatic assembly machine 100 for efficiently assembling a curling roller 10, comprising a body 20, a positioning rod 30, a first hot melt mechanism 40 and a second hot melt mechanism 41.

[0077] When assembling the hair roller 10, the hair roller 11 is placed on the positioning rod 30; when the positioning rod 30 drives the hair roller 11 to move to the first station, the first hot melt mechanism 40 hot melts the first end of the adhesive tape 12 to the hair roller 11; the positioning rod 30 continues to drive the hair roller 11 and the adhesive tape 12 to move to the second station, where the second hot melt mechanism 41 hot melts the second end of the adhesive tape 12 to the hair roller 11 to form the hair roller 10. When the first hot melt mechanism 40 and the second hot melt mechanism 41 hot melt the adhesive tape 12 to the hair roller 11, a certain pressing force is applied to the positioning rod 30. At this time, the radial resistance member 50 can resist this pressing force to prevent the positioning rod 30 from plastic deformation and damage to the positioning rod 30.

[0078] In this embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, the hair roller 11 is generally cylindrical in structure, and the hair band 12 is generally strip-shaped. When fixing the hair band 12 to the hair roller 11, one end of the hair band 12 is first hot-melted to the hair roller 11, then the hair band 12 is wound around, and finally the other end of the hair band 12 is hot-melted to the hair roller 11 to form the hair roller 10.

[0079] In this embodiment, if Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the structure of the body 20 is not strictly limited, as long as the body 20 can carry components such as the positioning rod 30, the first hot melt mechanism 40 and the second hot melt mechanism 41; for example, the body 20 is a frame structure.

The positioning rod 30 drives the hair barrel 11 and the adhesive band 12 to rotate about the set axis, so that when the positioning rod 30 is in the second station, the end of the adhesive band 12 corresponds to the second hot melt mechanism 41.

[0083] In this embodiment, if Figures 1 to 2 as well as Figures 7 to 11 As shown, there are at least two positioning rods 30; each positioning rod 30 moves from the first station to the second station along a first path, and from the second station to the first station along a second path different from the first path. When one positioning rod 30 is in the first station, the other positioning rod 30 is in the second station. The provision of multiple positioning rods 30 can improve the assembly efficiency of the hair roller 10.

[0084] In this embodiment, if Figures 1 to 2 as well as Figures 7 to 13 As shown, the automatic assembly machine 100 further includes a turntable 21.

[0103] The following describes how to use the automatic assembly machine 100:

[0104] The turntable 21 drives the positioning rod 30 to the front station, and the hair barrel retrieval mechanism 60 delivers the hair barrel 11 to the positioning rod 30. The support seat 631 moves to the feed line 62, and the support channel on the support seat 631 corresponds to the feed line 62; the hair barrel 11 on the feed line 62 enters the support channel; the feed line 62 stops conveying the hair barrel 11; the support seat 631 moves to the positioning rod 30, and the support channel on the support seat 631 corresponds to the positioning rod 30; the pusher 632 pushes the hair barrel 11 in the support channel, causing the hair barrel 11 to leave the support channel and be placed on the positioning rod 30;

[0105] The turntable 21 rotates and drives the positioning rod 30 to the first station. The hair band receiving mechanism 70 delivers the hair band 12 to the hair barrel 11, and the first hot melt mechanism 40 hot melts one end of the hair band 12 to the hair barrel 11. The feeder 72 drives the first end of the material band 13 to the hair barrel 11; the first hot melt mechanism 40 hot melts the first end of the material band 13 to the hair barrel 11; the feeder 72 moves away from the hair barrel 11; the scissors 73 move to the corresponding material band 13 and cut the material band 13 to form the hair band 12;

[0106] The turntable 21 rotates and drives the positioning rod 30 to the second station, where the second hot melt mechanism 41 hot melts the second end of the adhesive tape 12 to the hair barrel 11. As the positioning rod 30 moves from the first station to the second station, it drives the hair barrel 11 to rotate, allowing the adhesive tape 12 to wrap around the hair barrel 11. The second end of the adhesive tape 12 aligns with the position of the second hot melt mechanism 41. The second hot melt mechanism 41 hot melts the second end of the adhesive tape 12 to the hair barrel 11.

[0107] The turntable 21 rotates and drives the positioning rod 30 to move to the rear station, and the material taking mechanism 80 takes out the processed hair roller 10 on the positioning rod 30.
