In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish in the description and have no special meaning.

[0045] As a common decoration, photo frames are widely used in homes, offices, etc. The photo frame assembly process involves assembling the buckles onto the photo frame body. For this purpose, please refer to Figures 1 to 16The present embodiment provides a buckle assembly device, which includes a feeding mechanism 210, a transfer mechanism and an assembly mechanism. The feeding mechanism 210 is configured to supply buckles 100 to a feeding station 310. The transfer mechanism includes a visual inspection module 221, a first transport module 222 and a transfer table 223. The visual inspection module 221 is configured to obtain an image of the buckle 100 located at the feeding station 310, thereby detecting the posture of the buckle 100 located at the feeding station 310. The first transport module 222 is configured to transport the buckle 100 located at the feeding station 310 to the transfer table 223. Specifically, the first transport module 222 can accurately transfer the buckle 100 from the feeding station 310 to the transfer table 223 according to the detection result of the visual inspection module 221. 10 takes the buckle 100 and moves the buckle 100 to the transfer table 223. The transfer table 223 is configured to position the buckle 100. The assembly mechanism includes a second transport module 231 and an assembly module 232. The second transport module 231 is configured to transport the buckle 100 placed on the transfer table 223 to the assembly station 320. Since the transfer table 223 can position the buckle 100, the second transport module 231 can accurately take the buckle 100 from the transfer table 223 and move the buckle 100 to the assembly station 320. The assembly module 232 is configured to assemble the buckle 100 to the product located at the assembly station 320. It can be understood that the product is the photo frame body mentioned above.

[0046] Based on the above, the present embodiment supplies the buckle 100 through the feeding mechanism 210, and detects the position of the buckle 100 supplied by the feeding mechanism 210 through the visual detection module 221, so that the first transport module 222 can accurately transport the buckle 100 supplied by the feeding mechanism 210 to the transfer table 223, and the transfer table 223 positions the buckle 100, so that the second transport module 231 can accurately transport the buckle 100 on the transfer table 223 to the assembly station 320. In addition, the present embodiment also assembles the buckle 100 transported to the assembly station 320 onto the photo frame body through the assembly module 232. From the above, the present embodiment can realize the automatic assembly of the buckle 100, with high work efficiency, thereby improving the production efficiency of the photo frame.

[0047] It is worth mentioning that, for the photo frame body, in addition to the larger buckle 100 that needs to be assembled in the middle so that it can be hung on the wall, the smaller buckle 100 also needs to be assembled around the inner edge to stop the photo. Therefore, for the photo frame production equipment, it can be equipped with two buckle 100 assembly devices described in this embodiment, so as to assemble the larger buckle 100 and the smaller buckle 100 on the photo frame body in turn.

[0048] Among them, the first transport module 222 includes a first suction head 2221 and a first transfer module 2222. The first suction head 2221 can suck the buckle 100 from the loading station 310, and the first transfer module 2222 can drive the first suction head 2221 to move between the loading station 310 and the transfer table 223. Specifically, the first suction head 2221 first sucks the buckle 100 from the loading station 310 according to the detection result of the visual inspection module 221, and then drives the buckle 100 to move to the transfer table 223, and places the buckle 100 on the transfer table 223.

[0049] For example, in this embodiment, the first suction head 2221 is a magnetic suction head. Of course, in other optional embodiments, the first suction head 2221 may also be an air suction head, and this embodiment does not impose any specific restrictions on this. In addition, in this embodiment, the first transfer module 2222 is a manipulator. Of course, in other optional implementations, the first transfer module 2222 may also be a transfer structure composed of a KK module and a rotating module, and this embodiment does not impose any specific restrictions on this.

[0050] In addition, the visual detection module 221 is composed of structures such as a camera 2211 and a light source 2212. Since the specific structure and working principle of the visual detection module 221 are existing technologies, this embodiment will not elaborate on them.

[0051] Further, it should be noted that, in the present embodiment, a rivet hole 110 is provided on the front side of the buckle 100, a nail rod 120 is provided on the back side of the buckle 100, and the assembly module 232 includes a pressing head 2321. When the buckle 100 is transported to the assembly station 320, the pressing head 2321 can pass through the rivet hole 110 and extend into the nail rod 120, and can thicken the nail rod 120 to form a nail head, thereby assembling the buckle 100 to the photo frame body, that is, in the present embodiment, the buckle 100 is assembled to the photo frame body by riveting.

[0052] From the above, it should also be explained that, in the present embodiment, based on the structure of the buckle 100 itself, the buckle 100 supplied to the loading station 310 by the loading mechanism 210 is in a posture with the back facing up, that is, the buckle 100 transported to the transfer table 223 by the first transport module 222 is in a posture with the back facing up, but for the assembly mechanism, the buckle 100 transported to the assembly station 320 needs to be in a posture with the front facing up, so that the pressing head 2321 can pass through the rivet hole 110. Therefore, the transfer table 223 needs to first flip the buckle 100 180° to adjust the buckle 100 from the posture with the back facing up to the posture with the front facing up.

[0053] To this end, in the present embodiment, the transfer platform 223 includes a first platform 2231, a second platform 2232 and a first driving member 2233. The first transport module 222 can transport the buckle 100 to the first platform 2231. The first driving member 2233 is configured to flip the first platform 2231 to cover the top of the second platform 2232, and make the table surface of the first platform 2231 face the table surface of the second platform 2232. Specifically, a rotating shaft 2236 is provided between the first platform 2231 and the second platform 2232. The first driving member 2233 can drive the first platform 2231 to flip 180° around the axis of the rotating shaft 2236, so that the first platform 2231 is flipped from a posture with the table surface facing up to a posture with the table surface facing down, and after flipping, the first platform 2231 The table top of 2231 is directly opposite to the table top of the second platform 2232, and a first adsorption structure 2234 is provided on the first platform 2231. The first adsorption structure 2234 can adsorb the buckle 100 during the flipping process of the first platform 2231, and can release the adsorption of the buckle 100 after the first platform 2231 covers the top of the second platform 2232, that is, the first adsorption structure 2234 can keep the buckle 100 on the first platform 2231 during the flipping process of the first platform 2231. After the flipping is completed, the first adsorption structure 2234 releases the adsorption, so that the buckle 100 falls from the first platform 2231 to the second platform 2232. At the same time, after flipping, the buckle 100 is converted from a back-facing posture to a front-facing posture.

[0054] Moreover, the first driving member 2233 can also drive the first carrier 2231 to reset, so as to be suitable for receiving the buckle 100 transported by the first transport module 222 again.

[0055] It is understandable that the first driving member 2233 may be a driving structure such as a stepping motor or a servo motor, and this embodiment does not impose any specific limitation on this.

[0056] In addition, a first loading position 22311 is provided on the first carrier 2231, and a plurality of first positioning columns 22312 are provided at the first loading position 22311. The plurality of first positioning columns 22312 form a first loading area for placing the buckle 100, that is, the buckle 100 transported by the first transport module 222 can be placed in the first loading area, and the plurality of first positioning columns 22312 can position the buckle 100.

[0057] Exemplarily, the first adsorption structure 2234 is an electromagnet, which is installed in the first loading area. When powered on, the electromagnet can adsorb the buckle 100, and when powered off, the electromagnet releases the adsorption.

[0058] In addition, a second loading position 22321 is provided on the second carrier 2232, and a plurality of second positioning columns 22322 are provided at the second loading position 22321. The plurality of second positioning columns 22322 form a second loading area for placing the buckle 100. After the first carrier 2231 covers the top of the second carrier 2232, the first loading area and the second loading area are opposite to each other, that is, after the first carrier 2231 is flipped 180°, the buckle 100 can fall into the second loading area, and the plurality of second positioning columns 22322 can position the buckle 100, thereby ensuring that the buckle 100 can still be positioned after being flipped.

[0059] It is worth noting that, in the present embodiment, a plurality of first loading positions 22311 are provided on the first carrier 2231, and a plurality of second loading positions 22321 are provided on the second carrier 2232. The plurality of first loading positions 22311 correspond to the plurality of second loading positions 22321 one by one. After the first transport module 222 places the buckles 100 on all the first loading positions 22311, the first driving member 2233 drives the first carrier 2231 to flip 180°, so that all the second loading positions 22321 on the second carrier 2232 are loaded with buckles 100. Buckle 100, then, the first carrier 2231 is reset, the second transport module 231 takes the buckle 100 from the second carrier 2232, and the first transport module 222 transports the buckle 100 to the first carrier 2231 again, after all the buckles 100 on the second carrier 2232 are moved away, the first carrier 2231 can be turned over immediately to supply the buckle 100 to the second carrier 2232. Therefore, this embodiment can improve the production rhythm of the buckle assembly device, thereby further improving its working efficiency, and further improving the production efficiency of the photo frame.

[0060] In addition, the second transport module 231 includes a second suction head 2311 and a second transfer module 2312. The second suction head 2311 can suck the buckle 100 from the second carrier 2232. It can be understood that the second suction head 2311 adsorbs the position of the buckle 100 away from the rivet hole 110, and the second transfer module 2312 can drive the second suction head 2311 to move between the second carrier 2232 and the assembly station 320. Specifically, in this embodiment, the second transfer module 2312 includes a first horizontal transfer module 23121 and a second horizontal transfer module 23122, wherein the first horizontal transfer module 23121 can The second suction head 2311 can be driven to move along the first horizontal direction, and the second horizontal transfer module 23122 can drive the second suction head 2311 to move along the second horizontal direction perpendicular to the first horizontal direction, so that on the one hand, the second suction head 2311 can move between the second carrier 2232 and the assembly station 320, and on the other hand, the position of the second suction head 2311 can be adjusted after the second suction head 2311 is located at the assembly station 320, so that the buckle 100 sucked by the second suction head 2311 is moved to above the assembly position of the photo frame body, and the rivet hole 110 of the buckle 100 is opposite to the mounting hole 22323 on the photo frame body.

[0061] It can be understood that the second transport module 231 also includes a mounting frame 2314, and the assembly module 232 and the second suction head 2311 are both installed on the mounting frame 2314. Based on the above, the second suction head 2311 adsorbs the position on the buckle 100 away from the rivet hole 110. After the second suction head 2311 absorbs the buckle 100, the rivet hole 110 on the buckle 100 is opposite to the pressure head 2321. The second transfer module 2312 can drive the mounting frame 2314 to move along the first horizontal direction and / or the second horizontal direction, so that after the buckle 100 absorbed by the second suction head 2311 is moved to above the assembly position of the photo frame body, and the rivet hole 110 of the buckle 100 is opposite to the mounting hole 22323 on the photo frame body, the pressure head 2321 can assemble the buckle 100 to the photo frame body.

[0062] For example, in this embodiment, the second suction head 2311 is a magnetic suction head. Of course, in other optional embodiments, the second suction head 2311 may also be an air suction head, and this embodiment does not impose any specific restrictions on this. In addition, the first horizontal transfer module 23121 and the second horizontal transfer module 23122 are both KK modules. Of course, in other optional embodiments, the first horizontal transfer module 23121 and the second horizontal transfer module 23122 may also be other linear drive structures such as rodless cylinders, and this embodiment does not impose any specific restrictions on this.

[0063] Based on the contents mentioned above, in this embodiment, the first suction head 2221 and the second suction head 2311 respectively suck the buckle 100 at the loading station 310 and the second carrier 2232, and the buckle 100 is positioned by the first carrier 2231 and the second carrier 2232. Therefore, for the two buckle assembly devices of the photo frame production equipment, the models of the first suction heads 2221 and the second suction heads 2311 of the two buckle assembly devices, the relative positions of the several first positioning columns 22312 set at the first loading position 22311, the relative positions of the several second positioning columns 22322 set at the second loading position 22321, etc. can be specifically set according to the shape and size of the buckle 100.

[0064] Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the first transport module 222 includes two first suction heads 2221, and all the first suction heads 2221 are correspondingly provided with a second driving member 2223. The second driving member 2223 is configured to drive the first suction heads 2221 to rise and fall in the vertical direction, so that the first transport module 222 can absorb two buckles 100 at the loading station 310 at one time, and transport the two buckles 100 to the first carrier 2231 at the same time. Specifically, since the two first suction heads 2221 can both rise and fall in the vertical direction, the two first suction heads 2221 can descend in the vertical direction in turn and absorb the buckles 100.

[0065] Exemplarily, the second driving member 2223 may be a linear driving structure such as a pneumatic cylinder or an electric cylinder, and this embodiment does not impose any specific limitation on this.

[0066] The second transport module 231 includes two second suction heads 2311, and all the second suction heads 2311 are correspondingly provided with a third driving member 2313. The third driving member 2313 is configured to drive the second suction heads 2311 to rise and fall in the vertical direction, so that the second transport module 231 can absorb two buckles 100 on the second carrier 2232 at one time and transport the two buckles 100 to the assembly station 320 at the same time. Specifically, since the two second suction heads 2311 can be lifted and lowered in the vertical direction, the two second suction heads 2311 can descend in the vertical direction in turn and absorb the buckles 100.

[0067] Exemplarily, the third driving member 2313 may be a linear driving structure such as a pneumatic cylinder or an electric cylinder, and this embodiment does not impose any specific limitation on this.

[0068] As described above, this embodiment can continuously assemble two buckles 100 onto the photo frame body each time, or can continuously assemble buckles 100 onto two photo frame bodies each time, thereby further improving the working efficiency of the buckle assembly device and further improving the production efficiency of the photo frame.

[0069] It is understandable that in other optional embodiments, the first transport module 222 may include three or more first suction heads 2221, and similarly, the second transport module 231 may include three or more second suction heads 2311. This embodiment does not specifically limit the number of first suction heads 2221 included in the first transport module 222 and the number of second suction heads 2311 included in the second transport module 231.

[0070] In addition, it should be noted that the second transport module 231 also includes a third horizontal transfer module 2315, which is also installed on the mounting frame 2314. The third horizontal transfer module 2315 is used to drive the two second suction heads 2311 to move along their arrangement direction, so that the rivet holes 110 on the buckles 100 sucked by the two second suction heads 2311 can be moved in sequence to directly below the pressing head 2321.

[0071] Moreover, in the present embodiment, a second adsorption structure 2235 is provided on the second carrier 2232. The second adsorption structure 2235 can adsorb the buckle 100 after the buckle 100 is transferred to the second carrier 2232, and can release the adsorption after the second suction head 2311 adsorbs the buckle 100. That is, in the present embodiment, when the second suction head 2311 moves toward the second carrier 2232 to adsorb the buckle 100, the buckle 100 is adsorbed by the second adsorption structure 2235 at this time, and the buckle 100 will not fly off the second carrier 2232 due to the second suction head 2311 approaching the buckle 100, thereby ensuring that the second suction head 2311 can firmly adsorb the buckle 100, and after the second suction head 2311 adsorbs the buckle 100, the second adsorption structure 2235 releases the adsorption, so that the second suction head 2311 can drive the buckle 100 to leave the second carrier 2232, and it will not remain on the second carrier 2232.

[0072] Exemplarily, in this embodiment, the second adsorption structure 2235 is a permanent magnet, and a mounting hole 22323 is provided on the second carrier 2232, and the mounting hole 22323 is located in the second loading area. The permanent magnet is inserted into the mounting hole 22323 from the bottom of the second carrier 2232, and the second carrier 2232 is also equipped with a fourth driving member 2237. The fourth driving member 2237 can drive the permanent magnet upward in the vertical direction, so that the permanent magnet is close to the buckle 100 loaded on the second loading position 22321, and then adsorbs the buckle 100. After the second suction head 2311 adsorbs the buckle 100, the fourth driving member 2237 can drive the permanent magnet to descend in the vertical direction to make the permanent magnet away from the buckle 100, thereby releasing the adsorption.

[0073] Exemplarily, the fourth driving member 2237 may be a linear driving structure such as a pneumatic cylinder or an electric cylinder, and this embodiment does not impose any specific limitation on this.

[0074] Based on the content mentioned above, it is also necessary to explain that for a buckle assembly device used to assemble a larger buckle 100 or a buckle assembly device used to assemble a smaller buckle 100, it will also face the problem of changing the buckle 100 during operation. The size of the buckle 100 after the change will change. In order to make the buckle assembly device compatible with buckles 100 of different sizes, in this embodiment, the feeding mechanism 210 is a flexible vibration plate, which can be suitable for feeding buckles 100 of different sizes.

[0075] Accordingly, after the buckle 100 is remodeled, the first suction head 2221, the second suction head 2311, the first carrier 2231 and the second carrier 2232 are replaced accordingly to make the first suction head 2221, the second suction head 2311, the first carrier 2231 and the second carrier 2232 compatible with the buckle 100 after the remodeling.

[0076] It can be understood that the buckle assembly device can be provided with more than two transfer tables 223 and more than two assembly mechanisms. The loading mechanism 210 and the first conveying module 222 simultaneously supply the buckles 100 to all the transfer tables 223, thereby further improving the working efficiency of the buckle assembly device and further improving the production efficiency of the photo frame.

[0077] In addition, it should be noted that, based on the above-mentioned contents, the assembly module 232 further includes a fifth driving member 2322, which is used to drive the pressing head 2321 to rise and fall in the vertical direction, so that the pressing head 2321 can assemble the buckle 100 to the photo frame body.

[0078] Exemplarily, the fifth driving member 2322 may be a linear driving structure such as a pneumatic cylinder or an electric cylinder, and this embodiment does not impose any specific limitation on this.

[0079] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, various obvious changes, readjustments and substitutions can be made without departing from the protection scope of the present invention. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
