Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of relay assembly equipment, and in particular to a measuring and conveying device for an automatic relay assembly. Background Art

[0002] A relay is an electrical control device. When the change in the input excitation quantity reaches the specified requirement, it causes a predetermined step change in the controlled quantity in the electrical output circuit. It has an interactive relationship between the input circuit and the output circuit. It is usually used in automated control circuits. It is actually an "automatic switch" that uses a small current to control a large current. Therefore, it plays the role of automatic adjustment, safety protection, and circuit conversion in the circuit. The reed of the existing relay is assembled manually at the same time, and manual assembly increases the workload of the operator and reduces work efficiency.

[0003] Prior art, such as Chinese patent application number 202010670006.5 and publication date 2020.11.06, discloses an automatic assembly device for a relay frame, a moving spring and a base plate, including a machine base, a first feed guide rail, a second feed guide rail, a discharging guide rail, a receiving guide rail, a placement guide rail, a first limiting mechanism, a first clamping mechanism, a second limiting mechanism, a material shifting mechanism, a second clamping mechanism, a first transfer mechanism, a first clamping mechanism, a second clamping mechanism, a riveting mechanism, a third limiting mechanism, a third clamping mechanism, and a second transfer mechanism, also includes a machine table and a support table arranged on the machine table, as well as a first loading guide rail, a second loading guide rail, a placing guide rail, a unloading guide rail, a material blocking mechanism, a grabbing mechanism, a material pushing mechanism, a positioning mechanism, a first material moving mechanism, a material pressing mechanism, a second material moving mechanism, and a material transfer mechanism. The document discloses an automatic assembly device for a relay frame, a movable spring and a bottom plate, which can realize automatic assembly of the frame, the movable spring and the bottom plate and has high processing efficiency.

[0004] However, the automatic relay assembly equipment of the document only realizes the assembly of the relay housing and the movable spring, without considering that the relay housing and the movable spring are usually processed separately, and the size of all workpieces cannot be guaranteed to be consistent during the processing, resulting in different size deviations of each workpiece. In this way, if the assembly is performed directly, it is easy to cause the movable spring with too large size deviation to be unable to be assembled into the relay housing, thereby causing a decrease in assembly efficiency and an increase in cost. Summary of the invention

[0005] The present invention provides a measuring and conveying device for an automated relay assembly. The conveying device of the present invention enables the height data of a housing and a movable spring to be detected, and the size deviation value between the housing and the movable spring is determined according to the height data. A gasket of corresponding thickness is placed on the movable spring piece according to the deviation value, so that subsequent assembly can ensure that the size of the movable spring piece matches the size of the housing, thereby ensuring the efficiency of assembly and not easily increasing defective products. To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical scheme of the present invention is: a measuring and conveying device for an automated relay assembly, comprising a first frame, a relay conveyor belt extending along the length direction of the first frame is provided on the first frame, at least one relay placement jig is provided on the relay conveyor belt, a shell conveying mechanism is provided on the first frame at one end of the relay conveyor belt, a dynamic spring conveying mechanism is provided on the first frame on one side of the shell conveying mechanism, a gasket conveying mechanism is provided on the first frame at the other end of the relay conveyor belt, the shell conveying mechanism comprises a shell feeding device and a shell height detection device, the shell feeding device conveys the shell of the relay to the shell height detection device, the shell height detection device detects the height of the shell, and then the shell conveying mechanism conveys the shell to the relay placement jig of the relay conveyor belt, the dynamic spring conveying mechanism comprises a dynamic spring conveying mechanism, A spring member feeding device and a movable spring member height detection device, the movable spring member feeding device conveys the movable spring member of the relay to the movable spring member height detection device, the movable spring member height detection device detects the height of the movable spring member, and then the movable spring member conveying mechanism conveys the movable spring member to the relay placement jig on the relay conveyor belt, the shell conveying mechanism conveys the shell and the movable spring member conveying mechanism to the same relay placement jig synchronously; the shell height detection device and the movable spring member height detection device are communicatively connected with the gasket conveying mechanism, the shell height detection device and the movable spring member height detection device send the height data of the shell and the height data of the movable spring member located in the same relay placement jig to the gasket conveying mechanism, the gasket conveying mechanism determines the thickness of the gasket according to the difference between the height dimension of the shell and the height dimension of the movable spring member, and places the gasket of corresponding thickness on the movable spring member.

[0006] In the above structure, a shell conveying mechanism and a movable spring conveying mechanism are arranged on the first frame, so as to facilitate the conveying of the shell and the movable spring to the relay placement jig, so as to facilitate the subsequent assembly, and by arranging a shell height detection device and a movable spring height detection device, and the shell height detection device and the movable spring height detection device are communicatively connected with the gasket conveying mechanism, the shell height detection device and the movable spring height detection device send the height data of the shell and the height data of the movable spring located in the same relay placement jig to the gasket conveying mechanism, and the gasket conveying mechanism determines the thickness of the gasket according to the difference between the height dimension of the shell and the height dimension of the movable spring, and only when the height dimension of the shell is higher than the height dimension of the movable spring and the difference between the height dimension of the shell and the height dimension of the movable spring determines the thickness of the gasket, and then the corresponding thickness is measured. The gasket is placed on the moving spring piece. In this way, the size deviation value between the shell and the moving spring piece can be determined according to the height data of the detected shell height and the moving spring piece, and the gasket of corresponding thickness is placed on the moving spring piece according to the deviation value, so that the subsequent assembly can ensure that the size of the moving spring piece matches the size of the shell, thereby ensuring the efficiency of assembly and not easily increasing defective products. If the moving spring piece and the relay shell only have a deviation in height size, it is easy to increase the cost if it is directly discarded. For example, if the height of the mounting groove on the shell is slightly greater than the thickness of the moving spring piece, this situation does not affect the installation, so that the installation can continue. If the height of the mounting groove is slightly lower than the thickness of the moving spring piece, a gasket with a thickness corresponding to the deviation value can be set on the ejector pin of the moving spring piece to meet the subsequent installation requirements.

The dynamic spring member feeding device conveys the dynamic spring member 30B of the relay to the dynamic spring member height detection device 32B. After the dynamic spring member height detection device 32B detects the height of the dynamic spring member 30B, the dynamic spring member conveying mechanism 3B conveys the dynamic spring member 30B to the relay placement jig 12B of the relay conveyor belt 11B. The shell conveying mechanism 2B conveys the shell 20B and the dynamic spring member conveying mechanism 3B conveys the dynamic spring member 30B to the same relay placement jig 12B synchronously; the shell height detection device 2 2B and the dynamic spring member height detection device 32B are connected to the gasket conveying mechanism 4B for communication. The shell height detection device 22B and the dynamic spring member height detection device 32B send the height data of the shell 20B and the height data of the dynamic spring member 30B in the same relay placement jig 12B to the gasket conveying mechanism 4B. The gasket conveying mechanism 4B determines the thickness of the gasket 40B according to the difference between the height dimension of the shell 20B and the height dimension of the dynamic spring member 30B, and places the gasket 40B of the corresponding thickness on the dynamic spring member 30B. In this embodiment, each relay placement jig 12B is provided with an identification code, and the data detected by the shell conveying mechanism 2B and the dynamic spring member conveying mechanism 3B correspond to the identification code, and the identification code of the relay placement jig 12B is synchronously sent to the gasket conveying mechanism 4B.

If the detected height dimension of the shell 20B is smaller than the height dimension of the movable spring component 30B, it means that the size of the shell 20B is smaller than the movable spring component 30B and subsequent assembly is impossible. The shell conveying mechanism 2B and the movable spring component conveying mechanism 3B convey the shell 20B and the movable spring component 30B to the second conveyor belt 112B, and the shell 20B and the movable spring component 30B are conveyed to the storage device to be inspected through the second conveyor belt 112B, waiting for subsequent re-inspection and matching, thereby reducing the defective rate.
