Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of relay assembly equipment technology, and more specifically to an automated relay assembly measurement and conveying device. Background Technology

[0002] A relay is an electrical control device that causes a predetermined step change in the controlled quantity in the electrical output circuit when the change in the input excitation quantity reaches a specified requirement. 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 a role in automatic adjustment, safety protection, and circuit switching in the circuit. Currently, the spring contacts of relays are assembled manually, which increases the workload of operators and reduces work efficiency.

[0003] Existing technology, such as Chinese patent application No. 202010670006.5, published on November 6, 2020, discloses an automatic assembly device for a relay frame, a moving spring, and a base plate. The device includes a machine base, a first feeding guide rail, a second feeding guide rail, a discharge guide rail, a receiving guide rail, a placement guide rail, a first limiting mechanism, a first clamping mechanism, a second limiting mechanism, a material feeding mechanism, a second clamping mechanism, a first transfer mechanism, a first pressing mechanism, a second pressing mechanism, a riveting mechanism, a third limiting mechanism, a third clamping mechanism, and a second transfer mechanism. It also includes a machine platform and a support platform mounted on the machine platform, as well as a first feeding guide rail, a second feeding guide rail, a placement guide rail, a discharge guide rail, a blocking mechanism, a gripping mechanism, a pushing mechanism, a positioning mechanism, a first transferring mechanism, a pressing mechanism, a second transferring mechanism, and a transferring mechanism. This document describes an automatic assembly device for a relay frame, moving spring, and base plate, which can realize the automatic assembly of the frame, moving spring, and base plate with high processing efficiency.

[0004] However, the automatic relay assembly equipment described in this document only assembles the relay housing and moving spring, without considering that the relay housing and moving spring are usually processed separately. During the processing, it is impossible to ensure that all workpieces are dimensionally consistent, resulting in different dimensional deviations for each workpiece. If they are assembled directly, moving springs with excessive dimensional deviations may not be able to be assembled into the relay housing, thus reducing assembly efficiency and increasing costs. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention provides a measurement and conveying device for automated relay components. The conveying device of this invention enables the detection of the height data of the housing and the moving spring, determines the dimensional deviation value between the housing and the moving spring based on the height data, and places a shim of corresponding thickness on the moving spring based on the deviation value. This ensures that the size of the moving spring matches the size of the housing during subsequent assembly, thereby ensuring assembly efficiency and reducing the likelihood of defective products.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is: an automated relay assembly measurement and conveying device, comprising a first frame, a relay conveyor belt extending along the length of the first frame, one or more relay placement fixtures on the relay conveyor belt, a housing conveying mechanism on one end of the first frame of the relay conveyor belt, a movable spring conveying mechanism on one side of the first frame of the housing conveying mechanism, and a gasket conveying mechanism on the first frame of the other end of the relay conveyor belt. The housing conveying mechanism includes a housing feeding device and a housing height detection device. The housing feeding device conveys the relay housing to the housing height detection device. After the housing height detection device detects the height of the housing, the housing conveying mechanism conveys the housing to the relay placement fixture on the relay conveyor belt. The movable spring conveying mechanism includes a movable spring conveying device. The system includes a spring feeding device and a moving spring height detection device. The moving spring feeding device feeds the moving spring of the relay to the moving spring height detection device. After detecting the height of the moving spring, the moving spring conveying mechanism transports the moving spring to the relay placement fixture on the relay conveyor belt. The housing conveying mechanism synchronously transports the housing and the moving spring to the same relay placement fixture. The housing height detection device and the moving spring height detection device are communicatively connected to the gasket conveying mechanism. The housing height detection device and the moving spring height detection device send the height data of the housing and the moving spring located in the same relay placement fixture to the gasket conveying mechanism. The gasket conveying mechanism determines the thickness of the gasket based on the difference between the height dimensions of the housing and the moving spring, and places the gasket of the corresponding thickness onto the moving spring.

[0007] The above structure includes a housing conveying mechanism and a moving spring conveying mechanism mounted on the first frame. This facilitates the conveying of the housing and moving spring to the relay placement fixture, simplifying subsequent assembly. Furthermore, by incorporating housing height detection devices and moving spring height detection devices, both of which are communicatively connected to the shim conveying mechanism, the latter transmits the height data of the housing and moving spring located within the same relay placement fixture to the shim conveying mechanism. The shim conveying mechanism determines the shim thickness based on the difference between the housing height and the moving spring height. The shim thickness is determined only when the housing height is greater than the moving spring height, and the difference between the two heights is used to determine the shim thickness. The shim is then processed according to the specified thickness. A shim is placed on the moving spring. This allows the dimensional deviation between the housing and the moving spring to be determined based on the measured height data. A shim of appropriate thickness is then placed on the moving spring based on this deviation, ensuring that the dimensions of the moving spring match the dimensions of the housing during subsequent assembly. This improves assembly efficiency and reduces the likelihood of defective products. However, if the deviation between the moving spring and the relay housing is only in height, discarding it directly would increase costs. For example, if the height of the mounting slot on the housing is slightly greater than the thickness of the moving spring, this does not affect installation, and installation can continue. If the height of the mounting slot is slightly less than the thickness of the moving spring, a shim of the corresponding deviation thickness can be placed on the pin of the moving spring to meet subsequent installation requirements.

[0008] Furthermore, the outer casing feeding device includes an outer casing feeding module and an outer casing synchronous moving assembly. An outer casing storage area is provided on the first frame. The outer casing feeding module is disposed in the outer casing storage area and moves along the X and Y axes of the outer casing storage area. The outer casing feeding module picks up the outer casing from the outer casing storage area and places it onto the outer casing synchronous moving assembly. The outer casing synchronous moving assembly includes an outer casing feeding base, an outer casing feeding moving cylinder, an outer casing feeding base plate, an outer casing placement cylinder, an outer casing feeding pneumatic fingers, and an outer casing feeding placement table. The outer casing feeding base is disposed on the first frame. The device is equipped with a shell feeding moving cylinder, a shell feeding base plate on the piston rod of the shell feeding moving cylinder, a shell placement cylinder on the shell feeding base plate, and a shell feeding connecting plate on the shell placement cylinder. There is one or more shell feeding pneumatic fingers arranged along the length of the shell feeding connecting plate. A shell feeding placement platform is provided on one side of the shell feeding base. A transfer placement slot, a shell measuring placement slot, and a shell conveying placement slot are provided on the shell feeding placement platform. Each shell feeding pneumatic finger on the shell feeding connecting plate corresponds to the transfer placement slot, the shell measuring placement slot, and the shell conveying placement slot, respectively.

[0009] The outer casing feeding module grabs the outer casing and places it in the transfer placement slot. The outer casing feeding pneumatic finger grabs the outer casing located in the transfer placement slot. The outer casing feeding moving cylinder drives the outer casing feeding pneumatic finger to move to the position of the outer casing measuring placement slot. The outer casing feeding pneumatic finger grabs the outer casing and places it in the outer casing measuring placement slot. The outer casing height detection device grabs the outer casing in the outer casing measuring placement slot and performs detection. After the outer casing height detection device completes the detection of the outer casing, it puts the outer casing back into the outer casing measuring placement slot. The outer casing feeding pneumatic finger corresponding to the transfer placement slot and the outer casing feeding pneumatic finger corresponding to the outer casing measuring placement slot simultaneously grab the outer casing. The outer casing feeding moving cylinder drives the outer casing feeding base plate to move, moving the outer casing located in the transfer placement slot to the position of the outer casing measuring placement slot, and then moving the outer casing located in the outer casing measuring placement slot into the outer casing conveying placement slot.

[0010] The above settings, through the configuration of the housing synchronous movement component, enable the housing to be detected and transported synchronously, thereby improving the efficiency of housing detection.

[0011] Furthermore, a shell flipping conveyor is provided on the first frame on one side of the shell conveying and placement trough. The shell flipping conveyor includes a shell flipping component, a shell flipping placement platform, and a shell flipping conveyor module. The shell flipping placement platform is set on the first frame. A shell flipping component is provided on the first frame between the shell conveying and placement trough and the shell flipping placement platform. A shell flipping conveyor module is provided between the shell flipping placement platform and the relay conveyor belt. The shell flipping component grabs the shell located in the shell conveying and placement trough and flips it onto the shell flipping placement platform. The shell flipping conveyor module grabs the shell on the flipping placement platform and conveys it to the relay placement fixture on the relay conveyor belt.

[0012] The shell flipping assembly includes a shell flipping mounting frame, a shell rotating motor, and a shell flipping gripper. The shell flipping mounting frame is mounted on a first frame, the shell rotating motor is mounted on the shell flipping mounting frame, and the shell flipping gripper is mounted on the rotating shaft of the shell rotating motor. The shell flipping gripper grips the shell located in the shell conveying and placement groove.

[0013] The above setup uses a rotating motor to drive a flipping gripper to flip the outer shell, thus facilitating subsequent assembly of the outer shell.

[0014] Furthermore, the casing height detection device includes a casing height detection platform, a casing height detection component, a casing height detection conveying module, and a casing height detection adjustment assembly. The casing height detection platform is mounted on the first frame via the casing height detection adjustment assembly. The casing height detection conveying module is located between one side of the casing height detection platform and the casing measurement placement slot, and the casing height detection component is located on the other side of the casing height detection platform.

[0015] The above settings use a housing detection component to measure the height of the housing, thereby determining the current height of the housing, which facilitates subsequent comparison with the height of the moving spring.

[0016] Furthermore, the outer shell height detection and adjustment assembly includes an outer shell adjustment base, an outer shell adjustment cylinder, and an outer shell adjustment connecting plate. The outer shell adjustment base is mounted on the first frame, and the outer shell adjustment cylinder is mounted on the outer shell adjustment base. The outer shell adjustment connecting plate is mounted on the piston rod of the outer shell adjustment cylinder, and an outer shell detection rotary motor is mounted on the outer shell adjustment connecting plate. The outer shell height detection platform is mounted on the rotating shaft of the outer shell detection rotary motor.

[0017] The above settings, through the housing height detection and adjustment component, enable the housing height detection platform to be oriented by the housing adjustment cylinder, and the rotation angle of the housing height detection platform to be adjusted by the housing detection rotary motor. This facilitates the detection of the housing height from multiple directions, thereby making the detection data more accurate.

[0018] Furthermore, the moving spring feeding device includes a moving spring feeding module and a moving spring storage area. The moving spring storage area is located on one side of the first frame. The moving spring feeding module grabs the moving springs in the moving spring storage area and places them on the moving spring height detection device. The moving spring height detection device includes a moving spring height detection component and a moving spring detection placement platform. The moving springs are placed on the moving spring detection placement platform. The moving spring height detection component is located above the moving spring detection placement platform. The moving spring height detection component is located on the first frame through a moving spring detection adjustment assembly. A moving spring conveying device is provided between the moving spring detection placement platform and the relay conveyor belt.

[0019] The above settings, by including a moving spring height detection component, facilitate the measurement of the moving spring's height, thereby determining the dimensional difference between the moving spring and the outer casing.

[0020] Furthermore, the moving spring detection and adjustment assembly includes a moving spring adjustment linear motor and a moving spring adjustment bracket. The moving spring adjustment linear motor is mounted on the first frame, the moving spring adjustment bracket is mounted on the drive shaft of the moving spring adjustment linear motor, and the moving spring height detection component is mounted on the moving spring adjustment bracket.

[0021] Furthermore, the moving spring conveying device includes a moving spring flipping assembly, a moving spring conveying and placing platform, and a moving spring conveying module. The moving spring conveying and placing platform is mounted on the first frame. The moving spring flipping assembly is located between the moving spring conveying and placing platform and the moving spring detection and placing platform. The moving spring conveying module is mounted on the first frame and picks up the moving spring and places it on the relay placing fixture on the relay conveyor belt.

[0022] The moving spring flipping assembly includes a moving spring flipping bracket, a moving spring rotary motor, and a moving spring flipping gripper. The moving spring flipping bracket is mounted on a first frame, and the moving spring rotary motor is mounted on the moving spring flipping bracket. The moving spring flipping gripper is mounted on the rotating shaft of the moving spring rotary motor and grips the moving spring set located on the moving spring detection and placement table.

[0023] The above settings, through the configuration of the moving spring flipping assembly, enable the moving spring to be flipped, thereby facilitating subsequent assembly.

[0024] Furthermore, the relay placement fixture includes a housing placement slot for placing the housing and a moving spring placement slot for placing the moving spring. The housing conveying mechanism conveys the housing into the housing placement slot; the moving spring conveying mechanism conveys the moving spring into the moving spring placement slot.

[0025] The above configuration, by setting up housing placement slots and moving spring placement slots, facilitates the synchronous transport of the housing and moving spring to the same relay placement fixture, thereby facilitating subsequent assembly.

[0026] Furthermore, the gasket conveying mechanism includes a gasket conveying module, a gasket gripping cylinder, a gasket gripping suction cup, and a gasket placement platform. The gasket conveying module is mounted on a first frame. The gasket gripping cylinder is mounted on the gasket conveying module via a gasket gripping connecting plate. A gasket gripping suction cup is mounted on the piston rod of the gasket gripping cylinder. A gasket placement platform is mounted on the first frame below the gasket gripping suction cup. One or more gasket placement rods for placing gaskets of different thicknesses are mounted on the gasket placement platform. The gasket gripping cylinder drives the gasket gripping suction cup to adsorb the gasket and place it onto the moving spring on the relay placement fixture.

[0027] The above setup uses a pad conveying module to drive the pad gripping cylinder to move, which in turn drives the pad gripping suction cup to rise and fall. This allows the pad of the appropriate thickness to be gripped and placed onto the moving spring, ensuring that the dimensions of the moving spring and the outer shell are matched.

Detailed Implementation

[0038] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 8As shown; an automated relay assembly measurement and conveying device includes a first frame 1B, a relay conveyor belt 11B extending along the length of the first frame 1B, one or more relay placement fixtures 12B on the relay conveyor belt 11B, a housing conveying mechanism 2B on one end of the first frame 1B of the relay conveyor belt 11B, a moving spring conveying mechanism 3B on one side of the first frame 1B of the housing conveying mechanism 2B, and a pad conveying mechanism 4B on the first frame 1B of the other end of the relay conveyor belt 11B. The housing conveying mechanism 2B includes a housing feeding device and a housing height detection device 22B. The housing feeding device conveys the relay housing 20B to the housing height detection device 22B. After the housing height detection device 22B detects the height of the housing 20B, the housing conveying mechanism 2B conveys the housing 20B to the relay placement fixture 12B on the relay conveyor belt 11B. The moving spring conveying mechanism 3B includes a moving spring feeding device (not shown in the figure) and a moving spring height... The height detection device 32B and the moving spring feeding device transport the moving spring 30B of the relay to the moving spring height detection device 32B. After the moving spring height detection device 32B detects the height of the moving spring 30B, the moving spring conveying mechanism 3B transports the moving spring 30B to the relay placement fixture 12B on the relay conveyor belt 11B. The outer shell conveying mechanism 2B synchronously transports the outer shell 20B and the moving spring 30B to the same relay placement fixture 12B. The housing height detection device 2B and the moving spring height detection device 32B are communicatively connected to the gasket conveying mechanism 4B. The housing height detection device 22B and the moving spring height detection device 32B send the height data of the housing 20B and the moving spring 30B, both located in the same relay placement fixture 12B, to the gasket conveying mechanism 4B. The gasket conveying mechanism 4B determines the thickness of the gasket 40B based on the difference between the height dimensions of the housing 20B and the moving spring 30B, and places the gasket 40B of the corresponding thickness onto the moving spring 30B. In this embodiment, each relay placement fixture 12B is equipped with an identification code. The data detected by the housing conveying mechanism 2B and the moving spring conveying mechanism 3B correspond to the identification code, and the identification code of the relay placement fixture 12B is synchronously sent to the gasket conveying mechanism 4B. The identification code ensures that the gasket conveying mechanism 4B can identify the current relay placement fixture, thereby facilitating the conveying of the gasket.

[0040] like Figure 2As shown, the relay placement fixture 12B includes a housing placement slot 121B for housing 20B and a moving spring placement slot 122B for moving spring 30B. The housing conveying mechanism 2B conveys the housing 20B into the housing placement slot 121B; the moving spring conveying mechanism 3B conveys the moving spring 30B into the moving spring placement slot 122B. By providing the housing placement slot 121B and the moving spring placement slot 122B, it is convenient to simultaneously convey the housing 20B and the moving spring 30B into the same relay placement fixture 12B, thereby facilitating subsequent assembly.

[0041] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the relay conveyor belt 11B includes a first conveyor belt 111B and a second conveyor belt 112B. A relay placement fixture 12B is provided on the first conveyor belt 111B, and the second conveyor belt 112B is connected to the storage device to be tested (not shown in the figure). In this embodiment, when the housing height detection device 22B and the moving spring height detection device 32B perform detection, if the detected height dimension of the housing 20B is greater than the height dimension of the moving spring 30B, the housing height detection device 22B and the moving spring height detection device 32B send the dimension data to the pad. In the pad conveying mechanism 4B, the pad conveying mechanism 4B determines the thickness of the pad based on the difference. If the detected height dimension of the outer shell 20B is smaller than the height dimension of the moving spring 30B, it means that the size of the outer shell 20B is smaller than the moving spring 30B and cannot be assembled subsequently. The outer shell conveying mechanism 2B and the moving spring conveying mechanism 3B convey the outer shell 20B and the moving spring 30B to the second conveyor belt 112B. The second conveyor belt 112B then conveys the outer shell 20B and the moving spring 30B to the storage equipment to be tested, waiting for subsequent re-testing and matching, thereby reducing the defect rate.

[0042] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the outer shell feeding device includes an outer shell feeding module (not shown in the figure) and an outer shell synchronous moving assembly 21B. In this embodiment, the outer shell feeding module is a moving device driven by a motor or cylinder. A housing storage area 10B is provided on the first frame 1B. The housing feeding module is disposed on the housing storage area 10B and moves along the X and Y axes of the housing storage area 10B. The housing feeding module picks up the housing 20B from the housing storage area 10B and places it onto the housing synchronous moving assembly 21B. The housing synchronous moving assembly 21B includes a housing feeding base 211B, a housing feeding moving cylinder 212B, a housing feeding base plate 213B, a housing placement cylinder 214B, a housing feeding pneumatic finger 215B, and a housing feeding placement stage 216B. The housing feeding base 211B is disposed on the first frame 1B, and the housing feeding moving cylinder 212B is disposed on the housing feeding base 211B. The piston rod is provided with a housing feeding base plate 213B, a housing placement cylinder 214B is provided on the housing feeding base plate 213B, a housing feeding connecting plate 217B is provided on the housing placement cylinder 214B, and one or more housing feeding pneumatic fingers 215B are arranged along the length direction of the housing feeding connecting plate 217B. A housing feeding placement platform 216B is provided on one side of the housing feeding base 211B. A transfer placement groove 2161B, a housing measuring placement groove 2162B and a housing conveying placement groove 2163B are provided on the housing feeding placement platform 216B. Each housing feeding pneumatic finger 215B on the housing feeding connecting plate 217B corresponds to the transfer placement groove 2161B, the housing measuring placement groove 2162B and the housing conveying placement groove 2163B respectively.

[0043] The outer casing feeding module picks up the outer casing 20B and places it in the transfer placement slot 2161B. The outer casing feeding pneumatic finger 215B picks up the outer casing 20B located in the transfer placement slot 2161B. The outer casing feeding moving cylinder 215B drives the outer casing feeding pneumatic finger 215B to move to the position of the outer casing measuring placement slot 2162B. The outer casing feeding pneumatic finger 215B picks up the outer casing 20B and places it into the outer casing measuring placement slot 2162B. The outer casing height detection device 22B picks up the outer casing 20B in the outer casing measuring placement slot 2162B and detects it. The outer casing height detection device 22B detects the outer casing 20B. After completion, the outer casing 20B is placed back into the outer casing measurement placement slot 2162B. The outer casing feeding pneumatic fingers 215B corresponding to the transfer placement slot 2161B and the outer casing measurement placement slot 2162B simultaneously grip the outer casing 20B. The outer casing feeding moving cylinder 212B drives the outer casing feeding base plate 213B to move, moving the outer casing 20B from the transfer placement slot 2161B to the position in the outer casing measurement placement slot 2162B, and then moving the outer casing 20B from the slot in the outer casing measurement placement slot 2162B into the outer casing conveying placement slot 2163B. By setting up the outer casing synchronous moving component 21B, the detection and conveying processes of the outer casing 20B can be synchronized, thereby improving the efficiency of outer casing detection.

[0044] In this embodiment, there are two transfer placement slots 2161B and three shell feeding pneumatic fingers 215B. The shell feeding pneumatic fingers 215B correspond to the positions of the two transfer placement slots 2161B and the shell measuring placement slot 2162B. Before the synchronous feeding of shells 20B begins, the shell feeding module grabs shells 20B and places them into the two transfer placement slots 2162B. Then, the shell feeding pneumatic fingers 215B corresponding to the two transfer placement slots 2161B are activated synchronously to grab the shells 20B in the transfer placement slots 2161B. However, the shell feeding pneumatic fingers 215B corresponding to the shell measuring placement slot 2162B do not grab the shells 20B. After grabbing the shells 20B, the shell feeding moving cylinder 215B drives the shell feeding pneumatic fingers 215B to... Figure 3The housing feed pneumatic finger 215B moves one placement slot distance in the direction of the middle arrow, lowering and resetting the housing 20B. This ensures that housings are present in the second transfer placement slot 2161B and the housing measurement placement slot 2162B in the direction of the arrow, but not in the first transfer placement slot 2161B. At this point, the housing feeding module can grab the housing 20B and place it in the first transfer placement slot 2161B in the direction of the arrow. Simultaneously, the housing height detection device 22B grabs the housing measurement placement slot 2162B. The outer casing 20B is inspected. After the outer casing height detection device 22B completes the inspection of the outer casing 20B, it is placed back into the outer casing measurement placement slot 2162B. After the inspection is completed, the outer casing is synchronously conveyed. The outer casing feeding pneumatic fingers 215B corresponding to the two intermediate placement slots 2161B grasp the outer casing 20B in the intermediate placement slot 2161B, and the outer casing feeding pneumatic fingers 215B corresponding to the outer casing measurement placement slot 2162B grasp the outer casing 20B in the outer casing measurement placement slot 2162B. Figure 3 Move the housing 20B in the direction of the middle arrow by one placement slot, thereby placing the housing 20B in the housing measurement placement slot 2162B into the housing conveying placement slot 2163B, thus achieving synchronous housing conveying.

[0045] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, a shell flipping conveyor 23B is provided on a first frame 1B on one side of the shell conveying and placement groove 2163B. The shell flipping conveyor 23B includes a shell flipping assembly 231B, a shell flipping placement platform 232B, and a shell flipping conveyor module (not shown in the figure). The shell flipping placement platform 232B is disposed on the first frame 1B. The shell flipping assembly 231B is provided on the first frame 1B between the shell conveying and placement groove 2163B and the shell flipping placement platform 232B. The shell flipping conveyor module is provided between the shell flipping placement platform 232B and the relay conveyor belt 11B. In this embodiment, the shell flipping conveyor module is a device that is moved by a drive device such as a motor or cylinder, for example, a robotic arm. The shell flipping assembly 231B grabs the shell 20B located in the shell conveying and placement groove 2163B and flips it onto the shell flipping placement platform 232B. The shell flipping conveyor module grabs the shell 20B on the flipping placement platform 232B and conveys it to the relay placement fixture 12B on the relay conveyor belt 11B. The shell flipping assembly 231B includes a shell flipping mounting frame 233B, a shell rotation motor 234B, and a shell flipping gripper 235B. The shell flipping mounting frame 233B is mounted on a first frame 1B. The shell rotation motor 234B is mounted on the shell flipping mounting frame 233B, and the shell flipping gripper 235B is mounted on the rotation shaft of the shell rotation motor 234B. The shell flipping gripper 235B grips the shell located in the shell conveying placement groove 2163B. The shell rotation motor drives the shell flipping gripper to flip the shell, thereby facilitating subsequent assembly of the shell. In this embodiment, the shell flipping assembly 231B and the shell conveying placement groove 2163B are located on the same axis. The shell rotation motor 234B rotates 180° to grip the shell from the shell conveying placement groove 2163B and flip it onto the flipping placement table 232B. Figure 5As shown, the housing height detection device 22B includes a housing height detection platform 221B, a housing height detection component 222B, a housing height detection conveying module 223B, and a housing height detection adjustment assembly 224B.

The housing height detection conveying module 223B is located between one side of the housing height detection platform 221B and the housing measurement placement slot 2162B, and the housing height detection component 222B is located on the other side of the housing height detection platform 221B. In this embodiment, the housing height detection component is a device such as a camera used to capture and process images. After capturing the image, the position of the housing frame is determined. Then, the height data is measured based on the position of the housing frame. Finally, the height data of the mounting slot on the housing is determined based on the ratio of the housing frame height data to the mounting slot. The housing height detection conveying module is a device that moves the equipment by a motor or cylinder, which is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. The height of the outer casing 20B is measured by the outer casing detection component 223B to determine the current height of the outer casing 20B, which facilitates subsequent comparison with the height of the moving spring 30B.

[0046] The housing height detection and adjustment assembly 224B includes a housing adjustment base 225B, a housing adjustment cylinder 226B, and a housing adjustment connecting plate 227B. The housing adjustment base 225B is mounted on the first frame 1B. The housing adjustment cylinder 226B is mounted on the housing adjustment base 225B. The housing adjustment connecting plate 227B is mounted on the piston rod of the housing adjustment cylinder 226B.

[0047] like Figure 6As shown, the moving spring feeding device includes a moving spring feeding module and a moving spring storage area. The moving spring storage area is located on one side of the first frame. The moving spring feeding module grabs the moving springs in the moving spring storage area and places them on the moving spring height detection device (not shown in the figure). The moving spring height detection device 32B includes a moving spring height detection component 321B and a moving spring detection placement platform 322B. The moving spring 30B is placed on the moving spring detection placement platform 322B.

In this embodiment, the movable spring height detection component 321B is a device such as a camera used to capture and process images. Specifically, the camera captures the height of the side of the movable spring, excluding the height of the shim placement plate. By setting the movable spring height detection component 321B, it is convenient to measure the height of the movable spring 30B, thereby determining the dimensional difference between the movable spring 30B and the outer casing 20B.

[0048] like Figure 6 As shown, the moving spring detection and adjustment assembly 323B includes a moving spring adjustment linear motor 3231B and a moving spring adjustment bracket 3232B.

The moving spring height detection component 321B is mounted on the moving spring adjustment bracket.

[0049] like Figure 6 As shown, the moving spring conveying device 324B includes a moving spring flipping assembly 325B, a moving spring conveying and placing platform 3241B, and a moving spring conveying module 3242B. The moving spring conveying and placing platform 3241B is mounted on the first frame 1B. The moving spring flipping assembly 325B is located between the moving spring conveying and placing platform 3241B and the moving spring detection and placing platform 322B. The moving spring conveying module 3242B is mounted on the first frame 1B and grips the moving spring 30B and places it onto the relay placing fixture 12B on the relay conveyor belt 11B. In this embodiment, the moving spring conveying module 3242B is a device that moves by being driven by a motor or cylinder, such as a robotic arm that can move in the up, down, left, and right directions.

[0050] like Figure 6As shown, the moving spring flipping assembly 325B includes a moving spring flipping bracket 3251B, a moving spring rotary motor 3252B, and a moving spring flipping gripper 3253B. The moving spring flipping bracket 3251B is mounted on the first frame 1B, and the moving spring rotary motor 3252B is mounted on the moving spring flipping bracket 3251B. The moving spring flipping gripper 3253B is mounted on the rotation shaft of the moving spring rotary motor 3252B, and grips the moving spring 30B located on the moving spring detection placement stage 3241B. The moving spring flipping assembly 325B enables the moving spring 30B to be flipped, thereby facilitating subsequent assembly. In this embodiment, the moving spring conveying and placement platform 3241B and the moving spring detection and placement platform 322B are located on the same axis. The moving spring rotary motor rotates 180° to grab the moving spring 30B from the moving spring detection and placement platform 322B and flip it onto the moving spring conveying and placement platform 3241B.

[0051] like Figures 7-8 As shown, the gasket conveying mechanism 4B includes a gasket conveying module 41B, a gasket gripping cylinder 42B, a gasket gripping suction cup 43B, and a gasket placement platform 44B. The gasket conveying module 41B is mounted on the first frame 1B. The gasket gripping cylinder 42B is mounted on the gasket conveying module 41B via a gasket gripping connecting plate 45B. The gasket gripping suction cup 43B is mounted on the piston rod of the gasket gripping cylinder 42B. The gasket placement platform 44B is mounted on the first frame 1B below the gasket gripping suction cup 43B. The gasket placement platform 44B has one or more gasket placement rods 46B for placing gaskets of different thicknesses. The gasket gripping cylinder 42B drives the gasket gripping suction cup 43B to adsorb the gasket 40B and place it on the moving spring 30B on the relay placement fixture 12B. The gasket conveying module 41B drives the gasket gripping cylinder 42B to move, which in turn drives the gasket gripping suction cup 43B to rise and fall. This allows a gasket 40B of the required thickness to be gripped and placed onto the moving spring 30B, ensuring that the dimensions of the moving spring 30B and the outer shell 20B are matched. In this embodiment, the gasket conveying module 41B drives the gasket conveying device to move back and forth via a motor or cylinder, and then drives the gasket conveying device to move up and down via a motor.

[0052] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: A housing conveying mechanism 2B and a moving spring conveying mechanism 3B are provided on the first frame 1B, facilitating the conveying of the housing 20B and the moving spring 30B to the relay placement fixture 12B, thus simplifying subsequent assembly. Furthermore, by providing a housing height detection device 22B and a moving spring height detection device 32B, which are communicatively connected to a shim conveying mechanism 4B, the housing height detection device 22B and the moving spring height detection device 32B transmit the height data of the housing 20B and the moving spring 30B, located in the same relay placement fixture 12B, to the shim conveying mechanism 4B. The shim conveying mechanism 4B determines the thickness of the shim 40B based on the difference between the height dimensions of the housing 20B and the moving spring 30B, and only when the height dimension of the housing 20B is higher than the height dimension of the moving spring 30B... The thickness of the shim 40B is determined by the difference between the height of the outer shell 20B and the height of the moving spring 30B. A shim 40B of the corresponding thickness is then placed on the moving spring 30B. Furthermore, when the height of the outer shell 20B is lower than the height of the moving spring 30B, and the difference between the heights of the moving spring 30B and the outer shell 20B is within a preset range, the moving spring 30B can be directly installed on the outer shell 20B without affecting subsequent installation. This allows for the determination of the dimensional deviation between the outer shell 20B and the moving spring 30B based on the measured height data. The shim 40B of the corresponding thickness is then placed on the moving spring 30B according to this deviation, ensuring that the dimensions of the moving spring 30B match those of the outer shell 20B during subsequent assembly. This guarantees assembly efficiency and reduces the likelihood of defective products.
