The limiting seat 432 and the limiting post 433 are distributed on the base 431. The limiting seat 432 is used to place the transformer 101 and the inductor 102. The limiting post 433 limits the position of the transformer 101 and the inductor 102. The fixed position of the transformer 101 and the inductor 102 makes it easy for the picking robot 41 to pick up the transformer 101 and the inductor 102 at the same time, thereby improving the assembly accuracy of the transformer 101 and the inductor 102.

[0081] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 and Figure 14As shown, the material handling mechanism 40 also includes a defective discharge mechanism 44, which is located on one side of the material handling robot 41. The defective discharge mechanism 44 includes a bracket 441 mounted on the frame 10 and a fourth conveying track 444 on the bracket 441. The material handling robot 41 transfers the defective parts of the transformer 101 and the inductor 102 to the fourth conveying track 444, and then the parts are conveyed out by the fourth conveying track 444.

[0082] In this embodiment, the material handling component 42 is movable between the feeding mechanism 30 and the product conveying mechanism 20. The material handling component 42 transfers the transformer 101 and the inductor 102 from the feeding mechanism 30 to the assembly fixture 43 for initial assembly, and then transfers the initially assembled transformer 101 and inductor 102 from the assembly fixture 43 to the power supply product, thereby completing the assembly of the transformer 101 and inductor 102 of the power supply product. The multi-axis robot drive has high flexibility, high material handling accuracy, and good stability.

[0083] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 15 As shown, the screw fastening mechanism 50 includes a three-axis positioning assembly 51, a screw fastening assembly 52, a mask assembly 53, and a screw collecting assembly 54; the screw collecting assembly 54 is disposed on one side of the mask assembly 53 and is used for the recycling of defective screws.

[0084] In this embodiment, as Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown, the three-axis positioning assembly 51 is positioned above the product conveying mechanism 20. The three-axis positioning assembly 51 includes an X-axis linear module 511, a Y-axis linear module 512, and a Z-axis linear module 513. The Y-axis linear module 512 is horizontally mounted on the frame 10. The X-axis linear module 511 slides on the Y-axis linear module 512 and moves along the Y-axis linear module 512. The Z-axis linear module 513 slides on the X-axis linear module 511 and moves along the X-axis linear module 511. The screw fastening assembly 52 slides on the Z-axis linear module 513 and moves along the Z-axis linear module 513. In this invention, the screw fastening mechanism 50 slides along the three-axis positioning assembly 51 and can be positioned at any point within the range of the three-axis positioning assembly 51, improving the accuracy and convenience of the fastening mechanism 50's positioning and increasing the degree of automation.

[0085] The Z-axis linear module 513 is also provided with a second detection element 55, which includes a second light source and a second scanning camera. The second light source is vertically arranged below the second scanning camera. The second scanning camera integrates a data processor and a signal generator. The second detection element 55 is used to detect whether the latching state of the transformer 101 and the inductor 102 is correct, thereby improving the latching quality.

[0086] In this embodiment, as Figure 16 As shown, the screw fastening assembly 52 includes a screw chuck 521, a fastening tool 522, a vacuum suction tube 523, and a second cylinder 524. The screw chuck 521 includes a linear fastening channel 525 and an oblique screw feeding channel 526. The screwdriver bar of the fastening tool 522 passes through the vacuum suction tube 523. The second cylinder 524 drives the vacuum suction tube 523 to move downward in the linear fastening channel 525 until the screw is attracted to the lower end of the vacuum suction tube 523. The second cylinder 524 continues to move downward, causing the screw chuck 521 to open and keeping the screw in an attracted state as it is transported into the screw mounting hole.

[0087] Specifically, the fastening tool 522 is an electric screwdriver. During operation, the screw is fed into the screw chuck 521 through the inclined screw feeding channel 526. Then, the second cylinder 524 drives the vacuum suction tube 523 downwards in the straight fastening channel 525 to a position close to the screw. The vacuum suction tube 523 attracts the screw to its lower end. The second cylinder 524 then drives the vacuum suction tube 523 to continue downwards, and the screw, still in an attracted state, is pushed out of the screw chuck 521 and then conveyed to the screw mounting hole of the workpiece to be assembled. At this point, the screwdriver lever locks the screw into the mounting hole. This invention, through the attraction of the screw by the vacuum suction tube 523, ensures that the screw does not detach from the vacuum suction tube 523 and remains in an attracted state while being conveyed to the screw mounting hole for positioning. This allows the screwdriver lever to accurately tighten the screw, improving the fastening quality.

[0088] In this embodiment, as Figure 17 As shown, the mask assembly 53 includes a lifting base plate 531 group, a mask follower group, and a quick-change panel 536. The lifting base plate 531 group is mounted on the frame 10, the mask follower group is movably connected to the lifting base plate 531 group, and the quick-change panel 536 is connected to the mask follower group. The present invention uses the mask assembly 53 to pre-align the panel with the product to be locked, thereby improving the locking quality. At the same time, the quick-change panel 536 allows for the replacement of different models of panels, making it suitable for locking various products.

[0089] The lifting base plate 531 assembly includes a base plate 531, a guide rail 532 vertically arranged on one side of the base plate 531, and a third cylinder 533 arranged on the other side of the base plate 531. The mask follow-up assembly includes a mounting frame 534 and a locking screw 535. The mounting frame 534 is slidably mounted on the guide rail 532. An opening is provided on the side of the mounting frame 534 away from the base plate 531. The two sides of the mounting frame 534 facing the opening are provided with slots. The quick-change panel 536 enters the mounting frame 534 through the opening, and the side of the quick-change panel 536 is locked in the slot. The locking screw 535 is installed on at least one side of the mounting frame 534. The third cylinder 533 drives the mounting frame 534 to move up and down along the guide rail 532.

[0090] In this invention, the screw fastening assembly 52 is disposed on the three-axis positioning assembly 51, slides along the three-axis positioning assembly 51 and can be positioned at any point within the range of the three-axis positioning assembly 51, and the face shield assembly 53 is disposed below the screw fastening assembly 52. ​​The face shield assembly 53 is used to cooperate with the screw fastening assembly 52 to fasten the transformer 101 and the inductor 102 to the power supply product.

[0091] In the transformer inductor assembly equipment 100, the product conveying mechanism 20, the feeding mechanism 30, the picking mechanism 40, and the locking mechanism 50 are all equipped with multiple position sensors and are connected to the electrical control system, thereby realizing the automated operation of the present invention.

[0092] The above description merely illustrates preferred technical solutions of the present invention, and while the description is relatively specific and detailed, it should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and the present invention also intends to include these modifications and variations.
