[0033] The following description is used to fully explain the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement the present invention. The preferred embodiments described below are only examples, and those skilled in the art can think of other obvious variations. The basic principles of the present invention defined in the following description can be applied to other embodiments, variations, improvements, equivalents, and other technical solutions that do not deviate from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
[0034] See also Figure 1-11 The present invention provides a technical solution: a connector assembly automation device, the connector includes a frame and a pin, the connector assembly automation device includes a divider turntable 6 rotating around its own axis, a plurality of stations 5 matching the frame are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction on the divider turntable 6, and a frame feeding mechanism 1, a pin feeding mechanism 18, a pin pressing mechanism 17 and a product unloading mechanism 8 corresponding to different stations 5 are distributed on the outer side of the divider turntable 6;
[0035] The workstation 5 is a liftable workstation 5, the pin press-fitting mechanism 17 includes a press-fitting head located above the workstation 5, and a lifting member 16 is provided below the workstation 5. The press-fitting head is suitable for press-fitting a frame with pins located above the workstation 5, and the lifting member 16 is suitable for lifting the workstation 5 during the press-fitting process of the press-fitting head to separate the frame with pins from the support of the divider turntable 6;
[0036] The product unloading mechanism 8 is provided with a qualified flow channel 8a and an unqualified flow channel 8b. A visual inspection mechanism 9 is provided between the product unloading mechanism 8 and the pin pressing mechanism 17. The visual inspection mechanism 9 is adapted to detect a frame with pins pressed thereon, and controls the inspected product to enter the corresponding flow channel according to the visual inspection result.
[0037] The connector assembly automation equipment replaces manual operation with automation and intelligent equipment to comprehensively improve production efficiency. The divider turntable 6 of the multi-station 5 and the automatically controlled loading and unloading system can realize efficient assembly line operation, reduce bottlenecks in production, and increase the output speed of products. The visual inspection mechanism 9 is introduced to replace the operator's naked eye to observe the assembly quality, thereby improving the product qualification rate.
[0038] The lifting member 16 corresponding to the station 5 to be pressed lifts the station 5 during the pressing process, so that the divider turntable 6 is separated from the support for the product, thereby ensuring the balance of the divider turntable 6.
[0039] In one embodiment, the connector assembly automation equipment is used to process automobile wiring harness connectors, and the frame of the connector is a plastic frame.
[0040] Furthermore, the divider turntable 6 is driven by a motor, and eight workstations 5 are evenly spaced along the circumferential direction on the divider turntable 6. The base of the workstation 5 is detachably connected to the divider turntable 6. Specifically, each of the workstations 5 is equipped with a plastic frame base quick-change system that can adapt to different structures, and different corresponding plastic frame bases can be replaced according to actual requirements.
[0041] Furthermore, the station 5 is slidably connected to the divider turntable 6 through a support block, and an elastic member is provided between the support block and the station 5. Specifically, the station 5 is supported by a support block, and the elastic member is a spring. The four corners of the station 5 are respectively connected with cylindrical guide rods with springs, which can be lifted up and down to meet the press-fitting requirements, provide stable support during the press-fitting process, and make the product detach from the turntable, ensuring that the stability of the overall divider turntable 6 is not affected, and ensuring the stability and accuracy of the product. When in use, the entire assembly process is carried out around the divider turntable 6, which is driven by a motor. There are 8 symmetrical stations 5 on the turntable, and it can be rotated to the next station 5 after the process is completed. The station 5 is provided with a plastic frame base quick change, which can adapt to plastic frames of different production processes. The support block equipped on the station 5 can be lifted up and down to meet the different pressure requirements on the workpiece during the press-fitting process, while ensuring that the product is detached from the turntable during press-fitting, and providing stable support. This solution is designed with a divider turntable 6 with 8 workstations 5, and the workstations 5 are equipped with a liftable support block and a plastic frame base quick-change system, which can be quickly switched and adjusted according to different production needs to adapt to different plastic frame models and press-fitting requirements. This flexibility significantly improves the versatility and production efficiency of the equipment and solves the problem of poor flexibility of traditional assembly equipment when processing different workpieces. In one embodiment, there are 6 guide rods distributed around the support block, of which the four corners are shorter and the two in the middle are longer, and the six guide rods are covered with a coil of springs.
[0042] Furthermore, the pin press-fitting mechanism 17 is divided into a short pin press-fitting mechanism 13 and a long pin press-fitting mechanism 10. The press-fitting head is driven by a servo press to perform precise press-fitting operations on the pins at the press-fitting station 5. The press-fitting head is a replaceable press-fitting head, which can be adjusted according to different types of plastic frames to ensure the accuracy and consistency of the operation. When in use, when the divider turntable 6 rotates the station 5 with the pins to the press-fitting station 5, the servo press will accurately control the press-fitting head to perform the press-fitting operation of the pins. The press-fitting head is adjusted according to the types of different plastic frames to ensure accuracy and consistency. The lifting member 16 corresponds to the support block. During the press-fitting process, the lifting member 16 will lift the support block to separate the product from the divider turntable 6. The lifting member 16 provides a stable press-fitting environment without destroying the balance of the divider turntable 6.
[0043] This solution uses a servo press to accurately control the press-fitting head and adjust it according to different plastic frame models, ensuring the consistency and accuracy of the pin press-fitting process. At the same time, the lifting member 16 can lift the support block during the press-fitting process to separate the work station 5 from the turntable, thereby providing a stable press-fitting environment and avoiding the problem of affecting the assembly quality due to the destruction of the turntable balance, as well as the problem of unstable assembly quality due to uneven press-fitting or inaccurate positioning in the traditional press-fitting process.
[0044] The workstation 5 corresponding to the visual inspection mechanism 9 is the inspection workstation 5, and a synchronous transplanting mechanism 7 is also arranged between the product unloading mechanism 8 and the pin pressing mechanism 17. The visual inspection mechanism 9 controls the connection with the synchronous transplanting mechanism 7, and the synchronous transplanting mechanism 7 is provided with a clamping jaw, and the number of the clamping jaws is two. The clamping jaws are configured to simultaneously grasp the product to be inspected by the visual inspection mechanism 9 and the product that has been inspected by the visual inspection mechanism 9. The clamping jaws place the product to be inspected by the visual inspection mechanism 9 on the inspection workstation 5, and at the same time, according to the visual inspection result of the visual inspection mechanism 9, the inspected product is transferred to the finished product feeding port on the product unloading mechanism 8, and the finished product feeding port is connected to the flow channel. The above-mentioned product is a frame with inserted pins. When in use, when the product is pressed and rotated to the next station 5, the two clamps of the synchronous transfer mechanism 7 will simultaneously grab the product to be tested and the product that has been tested, and place the product to be tested at the testing station 5. The camera installed on the testing platform checks the position and state of the pressed pins to detect whether the pins are missing or inserted crookedly. After the inspection is completed, according to the visual inspection results, the inspected products are transferred to the finished product feeding port through the synchronous transfer mechanism 7. Qualified and unqualified products are respectively put into different flow channels according to the visual inspection results, and the products are further moved to different discharge flow channels through the finished product feeding port. This solution designs a visual system 3 that detects from multiple directions to ensure that the pins are not missing or inserted crookedly, and automatically diverts through the synchronous transfer mechanism 7 to ensure the accurate separation of qualified and unqualified products, avoiding the traditional pin assembly. The inspection is mostly manual or simple one-way visual inspection, which is easy to miss small pin position errors or poor installation problems.
[0045] In the product unloading mechanism 8, the qualified flow channel 8a and the unqualified flow channel 8b are arranged side by side, and a movable baffle 19 is arranged between the qualified flow channel 8a and the unqualified flow channel 8b. The visual inspection mechanism 9 controls the baffle 19 connected to switch the baffle 19 of the flow channel controlled by the cylinder to ensure the accurate separation of qualified products and unqualified products. The baffle 19 is configured to be suitable for switching different working states according to the visual inspection results of the visual inspection mechanism 9. The baffle 19 is provided with at least two working states, namely, a qualified state and an unqualified state. When the baffle 19 is in a qualified state, the baffle 19 blocks the unqualified flow channel 8b and diverts the finished product feeding port and the qualified flow channel 8a. When the baffle 19 is in an unqualified state, the baffle 19 blocks the qualified flow channel 8a and diverts the finished product feeding port and the unqualified flow channel 8b. Furthermore, the baffle 19 is driven by a cylinder, and the visual inspection mechanism 9 controls the connection of the cylinder. The qualified flow channel 8a and the unqualified flow channel 8b are connected to different collection boxes, and the operator can handle different categories of finished products according to the system prompts. When in use, the baffle 19 of the flow channel controlled by the cylinder is classified and diverted according to the results of the visual inspection mechanism 9, and the finished products are led to different collection boxes. The operator can handle different categories of finished products according to the system prompts, saving operating space. This technical solution ensures that different categories of finished products can be automatically classified and unloaded through the design of the transplanting mechanism and the diversion channel, solving the problem that traditional finished product unloading often requires manual intervention or can only be processed through a single channel.
[0046] The frame feeding mechanism 1 includes a flexible vibration plate feeding system 2 and a robot arm 4 guided by a visual system 3, wherein the flexible vibration plate feeding system 2 is suitable for separating the frames from each other by vibrating the flexible vibration plate, and the robot arm 4 is provided with a frame clamp, and the robot arm 4 grasps the frame with a suitable posture on the flexible vibration plate through the frame clamp according to the guidance of the visual system 3 and transfers it to the corresponding workstation 5, when there is no frame with a suitable posture in the flexible vibration plate, the visual system 3 controls the vibration of the flexible vibration plate, and when there is no frame in the flexible vibration plate, the feeding bin belt drives the feeding toward the flexible vibration plate. When in use, the plastic frame is first sent out from the flexible vibration plate feeding system 2 through the belt drive. When on the flexible vibration plate, the vibration separates the plastic frames from each other. The clamp on the robot arm 4 will accurately grab the plastic frame with a suitable posture from the vibration plate according to the guidance of the visual system 3, and place it on the work station 5 of the divider turntable 6. When there is no plastic frame with a suitable posture in the flexible vibration plate, the visual camera will give a signal to the flexible vibration plate to vibrate once; when there is no plastic frame in the flexible vibration plate, the feeding bin belt drive is used to load the material. This technical solution uses a flexible vibration plate feeding system 2 to separate the plastic frames from each other, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of accumulation and adhesion, and avoiding the problems of accumulation, adhesion or inaccurate positioning of plastic frames in the prior art. The robot arm 4 combined with the visual system 3 can realize the precise grasping of the plastic frame to ensure the accurate assembly of the frame in the subsequent process. In addition, the robot grasps and positions plastic frames of different shapes through visual guidance. The workstation 5 is provided with a quick change of the plastic frame base to adapt to the assembly requirements of different products, improve the flexibility of the equipment, enable it to cope with the production tasks of various products, and meet the increasingly complex production requirements of automotive parts.

When in use, the pins are placed in the long pin feeding assembly 11, and the pins are sorted by the vibration plate and the linear vibration system. The material distribution and positioning seat accurately positions the pins to the specified position. The material distribution and positioning seat is provided with a pin baffle, which can position the pins for easy clamping of the pin clamp. After the pin sorting is completed, the feeding mechanism controls the pin clamp through the electric module and the upper and lower slide cylinders to grab and transport the pins to the required workstation 5 to complete the assembly preparation of the pins. This solution realizes the accurate sorting of the pins through the automated vibration plate and the linear vibration system, and the pins are accurately fed by the clamp controlled by the electric module and the cylinder, avoiding the existing plug-in assembly process, in which the pin sorting and feeding usually rely on manual operation or simple mechanical feeding, which is prone to the phenomenon of disordered or missed pins.
[0048] The connector assembly automation equipment is also equipped with a manual operation interface, which can switch between manual and automatic operation through the control panel. At the same time, the three-color light indicates the status of the equipment, such as operation, failure, etc., to ensure that the operator can grasp the working status of the equipment in time. The connector assembly automation equipment monitors and dynamically displays the equipment status in real time through the main control system, realizes the full automation process control from feeding, assembly to testing, realizes the intelligent management of the entire production line, reduces the complexity of operation, makes it easier for the factory to monitor, operate and maintain production equipment, and improves the intelligent and automated management capabilities in the production process.

[0050] Improve productivity and reduce labor costs: Automated equipment can greatly increase production speed and maintain a stable production rhythm, thereby significantly increasing production. The multi-station 5-position layout of the turntable system allows multiple processes to be carried out simultaneously, shortening the assembly cycle of each product and improving production efficiency overall.

[0051] Improved precision and consistency: The servo press-in system and visual inspection technology ensure the precision of the pin insertion operation, thereby reducing human errors, improving assembly consistency and product qualification rate.
