[0020] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings to further describe the technical solutions of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, the present invention is an injection molding machine integrated automobile interior buckle fully automatic assembly equipment, which is arranged on one side of the injection molding machine and is characterized in that it includes a feeding mechanism 2, a temporary storage mechanism 3, a manipulator 4 and an assembly mechanism 5, all of which are installed on a frame 1; wherein the feeding mechanism 2 is used to transport the buckles to be assembled into the temporary storage mechanism 3; the temporary storage mechanism 3 includes a temporary storage platform 30 and a fastener 31, and a temporary storage groove 300 for storing the buckles is provided in the temporary storage platform 30, and the temporary groove 300 can be used to receive the buckles to be assembled when the temporary storage platform 30 is close to the feeding mechanism 2, and when the temporary storage platform 30 is away from the feeding mechanism 2, the manipulator 4 grabs the buckles into the assembly mechanism 5; the fastener 31 is provided in the temporary storage platform 30, so as to lock the buckles in the temporary storage groove 300; the assembly mechanism 5 includes a positioning member 50, a pressing member 51 and a first assembly member 52 and a second assembly member 53, and the positioning member 50 is distributed in the first assembly At the periphery of the accessory 52 and the second assembly part 53, the positioning part 50 is used to limit the horizontal movement of the workpiece to be assembled taken out by the injection molding machine; the clamping part 51 is arranged on one side of the positioning part 50, and is used to movably press the workpiece to be assembled on the positioning part 50 to limit the movement of the workpiece in the vertical direction; the first assembly part 52 and the second assembly part 53 have a height difference with the positioning part 50, and the first assembly part 52 and the second assembly part 53 are arranged at an angle, and a conveying groove 543 is provided on the first assembly part 52 and the second assembly part 53; when the robot 4 transfers the buckle to be assembled in the temporary storage groove 300 to the conveying groove 543, the workpiece processed by the injection molding machine can be clamped and fixed by the clamping part 51 when placed on the positioning part 50, so that the first assembly part 52 and the second assembly part 53 can respectively drive the conveying groove 543 to move along its inclined direction, so as to movably clamp the buckles in different postures to the bottom of the workpiece.

[0022] In this embodiment, before the assembly operation begins, the worker can place a number of buckle parts to be assembled into the feeding mechanism 2, and the feeding mechanism 2 will sequentially transport the buckles along the designated position to the temporary storage slot 300 of the temporary storage platform 30. It should be noted that when facing some metal buckles, this embodiment can adsorb the metal buckles into the temporary storage slot 300 under the action of the fastener 31, ensuring that the buckles are always in an accurate waiting posture for the manipulator 4 (a six-axis manipulator 4 is used in this embodiment) to be grasped, effectively preventing the metal buckles from falling off due to mechanical vibration before grasping, thereby providing a guarantee for the stability of the buckles when they are transferred to the conveying slot 543; in addition, the automatic assembly equipment is located on one side of the injection molding machine (not shown in the figure). When the workpiece to be assembled is processed by the injection molding machine, it can be taken out by the manipulator 4 and directly placed on the positioning member 50. With the precise positioning of the workpiece by the positioning member 50 and the stable pressing of the upper end surface of the workpiece by the pressing member 51, the relative stability of the workpiece before the buckle is assembled is effectively guaranteed; Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, there is a height difference between the top height of the first assembly part 52 and the second assembly part 53 relative to the positioning part 50, which also means that the workpiece will not interfere with the position between the two assembly parts when placed. In order to realize the assembly of clips of different angles on the workpiece, this solution sets the first assembly part 52 and the second assembly part 53 at an angle. As the first assembly part 52 and the second assembly part 53 move along their respective inclined directions, the conveying trough 543 is pushed closer to the bottom of the workpiece, and finally the clips in the conveying trough 543 are connected to the workpiece, realizing the automatic assembly of the two. It is worth noting that this automatic assembly equipment can start from the injection molding stage until the final clip installation and subsequent inspection without manual intervention. It is highly integrated and automated, effectively improving the assembly efficiency and pass rate, while reducing the workload of the robot 4 during the assembly process.

[0023] It should be added that, in this embodiment, the position of the workpiece to be assembled with the buckle is placed inverted, and the buckle is assembled to the bottom of the workpiece during the lifting action of the first assembly part 52 and the second assembly part 53. Compared with the traditional assembly method of fixing the buckle by pressing the workpiece to engage with the buckle, this solution concentrates the force points of the assembly on the buckle during the entire assembly process, which can not only ensure the stable engagement between the buckle and the workpiece, but also avoid deformation of the workpiece due to excessive force points during the assembly process.

[0024] The conveying groove 543 includes a positioning part 543a and a yielding part 543b arranged in a cross shape and interconnected with each other. The two ends of the buckle are movably engaged in the positioning part 543a; the yielding part 543b allows detection light to pass through to determine whether the buckle to be assembled is placed in the positioning part 543a.

[0025] like Figures 4 and 5 As shown, the conveying groove 543 in this embodiment is composed of two parts: a positioning portion 543a and a yield portion 543b, wherein the positioning portion 543a mainly serves to limit the movement of the buckle to be assembled, ensuring that the buckle maintains stability during the assembly process, and when the buckle is first delivered to the positioning portion 543a by the robot 4, the detection light passing through the yield portion 543b will inevitably be blocked by the buckle, and then it is detected that the buckle to be assembled has been placed in the conveying groove 543, and then the signal for subsequent preparation for assembly action is transmitted, effectively avoiding the phenomenon of empty stroke assembly operation of the first assembly part 52 and the second assembly part 53.

[0026] The first assembly part 52 and the second assembly part 53 both include: an assembly cylinder 540, which is installed on the frame 1 in an inclined or vertical direction; a mounting plate 541 and a moving block 542, the mounting plate 541 is connected to the output end of the assembly cylinder 540, a support frame 10 is provided on the frame 1, a conveying trough 543 is provided at the top end of the moving block 542, and one end of the moving block 542 is connected to the mounting plate 541, and the other end is movable through the support frame 10, so that when the assembly cylinder 540 is driven, it can guide the moving block 542 along its inclined direction to approach or move away from the workpiece through the support frame 10.

[0027] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first assembly member 52 and the second assembly member 53 have the same structure except for the different installation angles (one is vertically arranged and the other is inclined). Specifically, Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, when the manipulator 4 accurately clamps the clip to be assembled in the temporary storage slot 300 and places it in the positioning portion 543a, and after the workpiece is accurately fixed after processing, the assembly cylinder 540 can drive the moving block 542 to drive the conveying slot 543 to approach the workpiece. During this process, the moving block 542 is always movably inserted in the support frame 10. The movable clamping between the two is used to provide a guiding effect when the moving block 542 drives the conveying slot 543 to move, thereby providing a guarantee for the accuracy of assembly between the clip and the workpiece.

[0028] Preferably, in order to achieve more diversified assembly operations of the first assembly part 52, this embodiment can also provide a clearance groove (not shown in the figure) on the support frame 10, so that the moving block 542 has space to swing relative to the support frame 10, and at the same time, a rotating cylinder (not shown in the figure) is connected to the assembly cylinder 540. When the rotating cylinder drives the assembly cylinder 540 to rotate, the placement position of the moving block 542 relative to the support frame 10 is adjusted, and finally the assembly angle of the buckle to be assembled is changed, which effectively ensures that the automated assembly equipment can adapt to the buckles to be assembled at different angles on the workpiece, thereby improving the flexibility during operation.

[0029] The support frame 10 is also provided with an anti-slip block 11 located on one side of the moving block 542, and an anti-slip groove 110 is opened in the anti-slip block 11. A tightening block 544 is provided on the moving block 542. The moving block 542 is movably set in the anti-slip groove 110, and the buckle is tightened in the positioning groove through the tightening block 544.

[0030] Further, if Figure 5 As shown, the support frame 10 is provided with an anti-drop block 11. Since the moving block 542 is always movably inserted on the support frame 10, when the manipulator 4 transfers the buckle to be assembled to the conveying groove 543, it is in the Figure 5The anti-slip block 11 and the movable block 542 in the shown state can utilize the anti-slip groove 110 to effectively prevent the buckle from moving relative to the positioning part 543a or even falling off. It should be noted that the anti-slip groove 110 is slightly larger than the movable block 542. While ensuring that the movable block 542 normally drives the buckle to perform assembly operations, the anti-slip groove 110 can be used to pre-limit the buckle to be assembled. As the tightening block 544 further tightens the movement of the buckle, it effectively ensures that the buckle and the workpiece can be stably connected under the drive of the assembly cylinder 540.

[0031] The feeding mechanism 2 includes: a vibration plate 20, which is arranged on the frame 1; a straight vibration feeding guide rail 21, one end of which is connected to the vibration plate 20, and the other end is aligned with the temporary storage slot 300; a detection probe 22, which is arranged on the straight vibration feeding guide rail 21, and is used to detect the number of buckles to be assembled in the straight vibration feeding guide rail 21, so as to transmit a signal to the vibration plate 20 to stop feeding.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, when several clips to be assembled are placed in the vibration plate 20, under the action of the vibration plate 20 vibrating the screening material, the clips can be transported to the above-mentioned temporary storage platform 30 in sequence by the straight vibration feeding guide rail 21 according to the required position direction (i.e. the direction of the clip end, not shown in the figure). This structure does not require manual intervention in the loading situation, which greatly saves human labor loss. At the same time, under the action of the detection probe 22, the number of clips in the straight vibration feeding guide rail 21 can be detected in real time. That is to say, when it is detected that the clips in the straight vibration feeding guide rail 21 are full, the vibration plate 20 can stop moving to avoid overflow caused by too many clips to be assembled, thereby effectively ensuring the smoothness and stability of the operation of the automated assembly equipment.

[0033] The temporary storage mechanism 3 also includes a horizontally placed pushing cylinder 32, and a material moving plate 320 is provided at the output end of the pushing cylinder 32. The temporary storage platform 30 is connected to the material moving plate 320, so that when the pushing cylinder 32 is driven, it can drive the temporary storage slot 300 closer to or away from the feeding mechanism 2.

[0034] Before the above-mentioned vibration disk 20 and straight vibration feeding guide rail 21 start operation, the material moving plate 320 can be driven by the pushing cylinder 32 to approach the straight vibration feeding guide rail 21, and finally the temporary storage platform 30 connected to the material moving plate 320 is pressed against the straight vibration feeding guide rail 21, so that the buckles to be assembled can be transported to the temporary storage slot 300 of the temporary storage platform 30 in sequence through the straight vibration feeding guide rail 21. With the restart of the pushing cylinder 32, the temporary storage platform 30 can be driven away from the straight vibration feeding guide rail 21 by the drive of the material moving plate 320, which provides convenience for the subsequent manipulator 4 to grab the buckles, and effectively avoids the position interference between the manipulator 4 and the straight vibration feeding guide rail 21 affecting the smoothness of the overall operation.

[0035] The fastener 31 includes: a mounting block 310, which is connected to the material transfer plate 320 and is flush with the upper end surface of the temporary storage platform 30. The mounting block 310 is provided with an avoidance groove 310a, and the avoidance groove 310a can be connected to the temporary storage groove 300 when the mounting block 310 is pressed against the temporary storage platform 30; a driving member 311 and an adsorption block 312. The driving member 311 is connected to the mounting block 310, and a guide hole 313 connected to the temporary storage groove 300 is opened in the mounting block 310. The adsorption block 312 is connected to the output end of the driving member 311 and is movably inserted in the guide hole 313 to adsorb the buckle to be assembled in the temporary storage groove 300.

[0036] Furthermore, when the clips to be assembled are picked up and positioned through the temporary storage groove 300 in the temporary storage platform 30, since there are many types of interior clips on the workpiece, when facing some metal clips, it is necessary to use the driving member 311 to drive the adsorption block 312 along the axial direction of the guide hole 313 to approach the temporary storage groove 300, and then adsorb the metal clips in the temporary storage groove 300. In this way, the stability of the clips to be assembled in the temporary storage groove 300 is effectively guaranteed, which also makes the automated assembly equipment applicable to the assembly operations of various clips, namely the assembly of metal clips, plastic clips and other plastic parts, thereby improving the flexibility during operation.

[0037] Preferably, the adsorption block 312 in this embodiment has the function of magnetic adsorption, and when the buckle to be assembled is fixed in the temporary storage groove 300 and the temporary storage platform 30 is driven away from the straight vibration feeding guide rail 21 by the above-mentioned pushing cylinder 32, since the avoidance groove 310a on the mounting block 310 is always interconnected with the temporary storage groove 300, the robot 4 is further given the position space when grasping the buckle, thereby providing a guarantee for the smoothness and stability of the buckle during grasping and conveying.

[0038] The temporary storage mechanism 3 also includes: a mounting base 33, which is arranged on the frame 1, and the top side wall of the mounting base 33 is close to the straight vibration feeding guide rail 21. The top of the mounting base 33 is detachably connected to a receiving block 330, and a receiving groove 330a is provided in the receiving block 330. The receiving groove 330a is used to fix the buckle that is detached from the outside of the straight vibration feeding guide rail 21; a mounting seat 34, which is connected to the top of the mounting base 33, and a locking cylinder 340 is provided on the mounting seat 34. The output end of the locking cylinder 340 is connected to a locking block 341 movably provided above the receiving groove 330a, and the locking block 341 is used to press the buckle into the receiving groove 330a.

[0039] Further, if Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the top of the mounting base 33 and the receiving block 330 are both tightly attached to the end of the straight vibration feeding guide rail 21 away from the vibration disk 20. The receiving block 330 can play a receiving effect between the straight vibration feeding guide rail 21 and the temporary storage platform 30. That is to say, when there are buckles waiting to be grabbed by the robot 4 in the temporary storage slot 300, the straight vibration feeding guide rail 21 can push the first buckle inside it into the receiving slot 330a in advance for waiting. During the waiting process, the locking cylinder 340 can push the locking block 341 to press and fix the waiting buckle in the receiving slot 330a to ensure that the buckle will not fall off during the waiting process. Not only that, under the pressing force of the locking block 341, the straight vibration feeding guide rail 21 can no longer continue to transport the buckle, thereby adapting to the beat time during the assembly operation, effectively improving the smoothness of the operation of the entire automated assembly equipment, and ensuring that the overall assembly efficiency is not affected.

[0040] The positioning member 50 includes a first mounting frame 500 and a positioning block 501. The positioning block 501 is arranged at the top of the first mounting frame 500 and is used to limit the movement of the workpiece in the horizontal direction; the clamping member 51 includes a clamping cylinder 511 of the second mounting frame 510. The clamping cylinder 511 is arranged on the second mounting frame 510 and the output end is connected to a clamping column 512; when the workpiece to be assembled after being processed by the injection molding machine is fixed by the positioning block 501, the clamping cylinder 511 is used to drive the clamping column 512 to move and press against the top wall of the workpiece to limit the movement of the workpiece relative to the frame 1.

[0041] like Figure 4 As shown, when the robot 4 takes out the workpiece processed by the injection molding machine and places it above the positioning member 50, the positioning block 501 on the first mounting frame 500 can be used to extend into the workpiece, thereby realizing a limiting function for the horizontal movement of the workpiece. Similarly, after the workpiece is accurately positioned, the clamping cylinder 511 on the second mounting frame 510 can drive the clamping column 512 to approach the top wall of the workpiece, and finally press the workpiece to be fixed on the positioning block 501, thereby limiting the vertical movement of the workpiece. The overall structure is relatively simple, which effectively ensures that the workpiece can maintain relative stability during the snap-fit ​​assembly.

[0042] Preferably, the present solution also provides a plurality of guide blocks 14 on one side of the first mounting frame 500, and each guide block 14 is formed with a guide slope 140. During the workpiece placement process, the workpiece can be accurately guided into the positioning block 501 through the guide slope 140, thereby ensuring the smoothness and accuracy of the workpiece placement.

[0043] Preferably, the assembly mechanism 5 in this embodiment further includes a tooling plate 55 and an assembly platform 56, and the tooling plate 55 and the assembly platform 56 are supported by a fixing column 57, such as Figures 4 to 6As shown, the first assembly member 52, the second assembly member 53, the positioning member 50, and the pressing member 51 are all arranged on the assembly platform 56. Therefore, during the installation process, the symmetrically arranged V-shaped grooves 550 on the tooling plate 55 can be used to flexibly abut against the positioning posts 12 provided on the frame 1, thereby achieving accurate positioning and installation of the automated equipment. It should be noted that the tooling plate 55 structure can also be used to achieve positioning and installation functions for the installation of the aforementioned feeding mechanism 2 and temporary storage mechanism 3.

[0044] Preferably, the present solution also provides a conveyor belt 13 on the outside of the frame 1. When the buckle in the conveying trough 543 is installed to the bottom of the workpiece, the workpiece can be automatically unloaded by the manipulator 4. Finally, under the detection of the conveyor belt 13 and the detector above the conveyor belt 13 (not shown in the figure), the workpiece that meets the use requirements is moved to the required position for stacking and storage.
