Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of badge assembly technology, specifically to an automated badge assembly line. Background Technology

[0002] Badges are generally assembled from an upper cover and a lower cover. The entire badge assembly process generally includes the following steps: feeding the upper and lower covers, assembling the upper cover, pressing the upper and lower covers together, and product inspection. Currently, most steps in badge assembly are still done manually, which results in low efficiency, high cost, and poor product quality stability, which is not conducive to large-scale production. The automated assembly equipment currently on the market is also difficult to automate all the above steps. Therefore, the automated assembly of badges is an urgent problem to be solved. This application is proposed to address the above issues. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automated badge assembly line to solve the problems of low production efficiency and poor product quality stability caused by low automation and high manual intervention in the current badge assembly production.

[0004] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution.

[0005] The automated badge assembly line of the present invention includes a lower cover feeding mechanism, an upper cover feeding assembly mechanism, and an upper and lower cover pressing module;

[0006] The upper cover feeding and assembly mechanism includes an upper cover feeding mechanism, an upper cover transfer mechanism, and an accessory feeding mechanism;

[0007] The upper and lower cover pressing module includes a lower cover transfer mechanism, a pressing mechanism, and a feeding mechanism. Both the upper cover transfer mechanism and the lower cover transfer mechanism include a carrier for receiving materials. The materials are fed by the lower cover feeding mechanism and the upper cover feeding mechanism. The upper cover transfer mechanism and the lower cover transfer mechanism are used to switch the carrier between different process stations.

[0008] The accessory loading mechanism is provided in several groups, and the cover transfer mechanism transfers the carrier to the accessory loading mechanism to realize accessory loading and assembly.

[0009] The pressing mechanism includes a rotating body, a pressing drive assembly, and a pressing mold. The pressing mold is connected to the rotating body and the pressing drive assembly. The pressing mechanism is used to transfer the materials to be assembled in the upper cover transfer mechanism and the lower cover transfer mechanism to the same carrier and perform pressing. The unloading mechanism is used to output the assembled product.

[0010] The lower cover feeding mechanism includes a feeding mechanism and a picking mechanism. The feeding mechanism includes a hopper and a lifting drive assembly. The hopper is used to stack materials, and the lifting drive assembly is used to drive the hopper to lift and lower, keeping the upper layer of materials in the hopper at a set height. The picking mechanism includes a picking assembly and a picking drive assembly. The picking drive assembly is used to drive the picking assembly into the hopper to pick up materials. Through the cooperation of the feeding mechanism and the picking mechanism, automated feeding is achieved. Furthermore, because the hopper is driven by the lifting drive assembly, the uppermost layer of materials can always be kept at a set height, and the picking mechanism does not require complex movements, enabling rapid material picking.

[0011] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism is provided in at least two sets, and the picking mechanism also includes a displacement driving component. The displacement driving component is used to switch the position of the picking component and the picking driving component between different feeding mechanisms, so that when there is insufficient material in one of the feeding mechanisms, the picking mechanism picks material from the other feeding mechanism, and the operator replenishes the feeding mechanism with insufficient material.

[0012] Furthermore, several sets of feeding mechanisms are arranged along the same straight line, and the displacement driving component is a linear driving component, which simplifies the structure.

[0013] Furthermore, the lower cover feeding mechanism also includes a lower cover loading conveyor line. After the material is taken out by the material handling mechanism, the material is transported to the next work station using the lower cover loading conveyor line.

[0014] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism is equipped with several hoppers, and the material picking component picks up materials simultaneously from the several hoppers, thereby achieving rapid material supply.

[0015] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism also includes hopper baffles, with at least two sets of hopper baffles corresponding to each hopper. The hopper baffles restrict the stacked materials to ensure the stability of the materials in the hopper.

[0016] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism also includes a platform, the hopper and the hopper stop are both mounted on the platform, the platform is connected to the guide rail, and the lifting drive assembly is connected to the platform.

[0017] Furthermore, the material handling component includes an electromagnet that uses magnetic force to attract the metal lower cover, or it can use a suction cup, gripper, or other means to grasp the material.

[0018] Furthermore, the material handling drive assembly includes a horizontal displacement drive and a vertical displacement drive. The horizontal displacement drive causes the material handling assembly to enter the hopper, and the vertical displacement drive causes the material handling assembly to descend and contact the material.

[0019] Furthermore, the material handling assembly also includes a material handling bracket, and the electromagnet is mounted on the material handling bracket in an adjustable position for easy installation and debugging.

[0020] The cover feeding and assembly mechanism includes a feeding station, a cover transport mechanism, a cover adjustment station, a cover transfer mechanism, and a parts feeding mechanism. The cover transfer mechanism is equipped with a carrier for receiving the cover. The cover transport mechanism transports the cover from the feeding station to the cover adjustment station and the carrier in sequence. The cover adjustment station is used to adjust the centering of the cover. The parts feeding mechanism is set up in several groups, the specific number of which is determined according to the number of parts. The cover transfer mechanism causes the carrier to be transferred to the parts feeding mechanism in sequence to realize the parts feeding and assembly.

[0021] Furthermore, the parts loading mechanism includes a parts hopper and a parts handling mechanism. The parts handling mechanism takes the parts out of the parts hopper and places them on the top cover.

[0022] Furthermore, the accessory loading mechanism also includes an accessory posture adjustment station, which adjusts the posture of the accessory according to its type.

[0023] Furthermore, the accessory posture adjustment station includes an accessory centering station and an accessory angle adjustment station, which are used to adjust the centering and the angle of the accessory, respectively.

[0024] Furthermore, at least two sets of accessory silos are provided. When one set of accessory silos runs out of material, material is taken from the other accessory silo to achieve uninterrupted material feeding.

[0025] Furthermore, the accessory feeding mechanism is provided in two sets, namely an inner lining paper feeding mechanism and an outer paper feeding mechanism.

[0026] Furthermore, the upper cover feeding assembly mechanism also includes a vibratory feeder material distribution mechanism and an upper cover conveyor line. The feeding station is connected to the upper cover conveyor line, and preferably the feeding station is located at the end of the upper cover conveyor line.

[0027] Furthermore, both the top cover handling mechanism and the accessory handling mechanism are PPU handling mechanisms.

[0028] Furthermore, the cover transfer mechanism includes a turntable, and the loading station and several accessory loading mechanisms are arranged around the cover transfer mechanism, which makes the equipment more integrated and reduces the size of the equipment.

[0029] Furthermore, the upper cover transfer mechanism is equipped with several carriers, and in this embodiment, four sets are provided.

[0030] The upper and lower cover pressing module includes a lower cover transfer mechanism, a pressing mechanism, and a detection mechanism. Both the upper and lower cover transfer mechanisms include a carrier for carrying materials, specifically the upper and lower covers. The pressing mechanism includes a rotating body, a pressing drive assembly, and a pressing mold. The pressing mold is connected to the rotating body and the pressing drive assembly. The pressing mechanism is used to transfer the materials to be assembled to the same carrier and perform pressing. The detection mechanism is used to detect the pressed materials.

[0031] Furthermore, the upper and lower cover pressing module also includes a feeding mechanism, which is used to remove the tested material from the carrier.

[0032] Furthermore, both the upper cover transfer mechanism and the lower cover transfer mechanism include a turntable body, and the carrier is provided with several sets on the turntable body to realize multi-station synchronous operation and improve assembly efficiency.

[0033] Furthermore, at least two sets of pressing molds are provided on the rotating body. Since there is inner lining paper and outer paper at the top cover, the molds also need to press it once. The two pressing molds can simultaneously complete the pressing of the top cover and the pressing of the top cover and the bottom cover.

[0034] Furthermore, the pressing mechanism is located between the upper cover transfer mechanism and the lower cover transfer mechanism. The rotating body rotates 180° to transfer the upper cover in the upper cover transfer mechanism to the carrier in the lower cover transfer mechanism for pressing.

[0035] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism includes a flipping component and a feeding conveyor belt. The flipping component is used to flip the material in the carrier, and the feeding conveyor belt is used to transport the flipped material. Since the pressed badge is facing upwards in the carrier and there is a pin on the bottom cover, it is not stable during the conveying process. Therefore, the flipping component flips the badge so that the bottom cover is facing upwards and the top cover contacts the conveyor belt.

[0036] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism also includes a receiving platform and a feeding and picking component. The receiving platform is used to receive the material after it has been flipped by the flipping component, and the feeding and picking component is used to pick up the material on the receiving platform and place it on the feeding conveyor belt.

[0037] Furthermore, the upper and lower cover pressing module also includes a defect rejection mechanism, which is used to reject materials that fail the inspection.

[0038] Furthermore, the defective rejection mechanism is located at the unloading conveyor belt and can be pneumatically blown out or gripped and rejected by a gripping mechanism. The defective rejection mechanism is electrically connected to the detection mechanism.

[0039] Furthermore, the inspection mechanism includes an upper cover appearance inspection module and a lower cover appearance inspection module. Each appearance inspection module includes a vision inspection module, which includes a camera and a light source.

[0040] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: By setting up a lower cover feeding mechanism, an upper cover feeding assembly mechanism, and an upper and lower cover pressing module, the entire process of feeding the upper and lower covers of the badge, assembling the upper cover, pressing the upper and lower covers, and inspecting the product is automated. This reduces or even eliminates the need for manual intervention in the complete badge assembly production process, thereby improving the badge assembly production efficiency and enhancing the stability of product quality.

[0041] The lower cover feeding mechanism is equipped with a hopper and a lifting drive component. The lifting drive component drives the hopper to lift and lower, keeping the upper layer of material in the hopper at a set height. The material retrieval drive component drives the material retrieval component into the hopper to retrieve the material. Through the cooperation of the feeding mechanism and the material retrieval mechanism, automated feeding is achieved. Furthermore, because the hopper is driven by the lifting drive component, the uppermost layer of material can always be kept at the set height. The material retrieval mechanism does not require complex movements and can quickly retrieve material, thus further improving the efficiency of badge assembly. In addition, this solution also sets up multiple feeding mechanisms. When one feeding mechanism is short of material, the material retrieval mechanism retrieves material from another feeding mechanism. Workers replenish the feeding mechanism with insufficient material to achieve uninterrupted feeding.

[0042] The cover feeding and assembly mechanism, through the cover conveyor line, the feeding station, the cover handling mechanism, the cover adjustment station, the cover transfer mechanism, and the accessory feeding mechanism, realizes full automation of cover feeding, centering adjustment, and accessory assembly, thereby improving the efficiency of cover assembly and further enhancing the overall assembly efficiency of badges. Moreover, since centering and adjustment steps are performed on both the cover and accessories during the assembly process, the assembly quality is higher and rework is avoided.

[0043] The upper and lower cover pressing module achieves automated assembly of the upper and lower covers by setting up an upper cover transfer mechanism, a lower cover transfer mechanism, a pressing mechanism, a detection mechanism, a feeding mechanism, and a defective rejection mechanism. The pressing mechanism can simultaneously complete the pressing of the upper cover and the assembly of the upper and lower covers, which is more efficient and saves labor costs. It can also perform detection and defective product rejection after assembly, ensuring product quality. Attached Figure Description

[0059] The following is combined with Figures 1-13 The present invention will be described in detail below.

[0060] The automated badge assembly line of the present invention, such as Figure 1 It includes a lower cover feeding mechanism 9, an upper cover feeding assembly mechanism 5, and an upper and lower cover pressing module 6.

[0061] The cover feeding and assembly mechanism 5 includes a cover feeding mechanism, a cover transfer mechanism 53, and an accessory feeding mechanism;

[0062] The upper and lower cover pressing module 6 includes a lower cover transfer mechanism 62, a pressing mechanism 61, and a feeding mechanism 64. Both the upper cover transfer mechanism 53 and the lower cover transfer mechanism 62 include a carrier 50 for receiving materials. The materials are fed by the lower cover feeding mechanism 9 and the upper cover feeding mechanism. The upper cover transfer mechanism 53 and the lower cover transfer mechanism 62 are used to switch the carrier 50 between different process stations.

[0063] Several sets of parts loading mechanisms are provided, and the cover transfer mechanism 53 transfers the carrier 50 to the parts loading mechanism to realize parts loading and assembly.

[0064] The pressing mechanism 61 includes a rotating body 611, a pressing drive assembly 613, and a pressing mold 612. The pressing mold 612 is connected to the rotating body 611 and the pressing drive assembly 613. The pressing mechanism 61 is used to transfer the materials to be assembled in the upper cover transfer mechanism 53 and the lower cover transfer mechanism 62 to the same carrier and perform pressing. The unloading mechanism 64 is used to output the assembled product. The detection mechanism 63 is used to detect the assembled product.

[0065] Lower cover feeding mechanism 9, such as Figures 2-4 It includes a feeding mechanism 1, a picking mechanism 2, and a lower cover feeding conveyor line 3. The picking mechanism 2 takes out the material from the feeding mechanism 1 and then uses the lower cover feeding conveyor line 3 to transport the material to the next station.

[0066] like Figure 3 The feeding mechanism 1 includes a hopper 15, a lifting drive assembly 13, a platform 11, and hopper baffles 12. The lifting drive assembly 13 can adopt a telescopic structure such as a cylinder or electric cylinder. Both the hopper 15 and the hopper baffles 12 are mounted on the platform 11, which is connected to the guide rail 14. The lifting drive assembly 13 is also connected to the platform 11. The feeding mechanism 1 contains several hoppers 15. In this embodiment, one set of feeding mechanisms 1 contains four hoppers 15. The hoppers 15 are used to stack the lower cover 4 with its opening facing upwards. Each hopper 15 has at least two sets of hopper baffles 12, which restrict the stacked materials to ensure the stability of the materials in the hopper 15. The material picking assembly 23 picks up materials simultaneously from several hoppers 15 to achieve rapid material supply. The lifting drive assembly 13 drives the hoppers 15 to perform lifting and lowering actions, keeping the upper layer of materials in the hopper 15 at a set height. The height parameter can be determined by setting a sensor or by using the action parameters of the lifting drive assembly 13.

[0067] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 The material handling mechanism 2 includes a material handling component 23, a material handling drive component 22, and a displacement drive component 21.

[0068] The feeding mechanism 1 is set with two or more groups, and the groups of feeding mechanisms 1 are set along the same straight line. The displacement drive component 21 is a linear drive component. The displacement drive component 21 is used to switch the position of the material picking component 23 and the material picking drive component 22 between different feeding mechanisms 1. So when there is insufficient material in one of the feeding mechanisms 1, the material picking mechanism 2 picks up material from another feeding mechanism 1. The staff replenishes the material in the feeding mechanism 1 with insufficient material to achieve uninterrupted feeding.

[0069] The material handling drive component 22 is used to drive the material handling component 23 into the hopper 15 to pick up materials. Through the cooperation of the feeding mechanism 1 and the material handling mechanism 2, automated feeding is realized. Furthermore, since the hopper 15 is driven by the lifting drive component 13, the uppermost material can always be kept at the set height. The material handling mechanism 2 does not need complicated actions and can quickly pick up materials.

[0070] Specifically, the material handling drive assembly 22 includes a horizontal displacement drive 222 and a vertical displacement drive 221. The horizontal displacement drive 222 causes the material handling assembly 23 to enter the hopper, and the vertical displacement drive 221 causes the material handling assembly 23 to descend and contact the material. The material handling assembly 23 includes a material handling bracket 231 and an electromagnet 233. The electromagnet 233 uses magnetic force to attract the metal lower cover. The material handling bracket 231 is provided with a waist hole, and the position of the electromagnet 233 can be adjusted at the waist hole, which is convenient for installation and debugging and can adapt to materials of different sizes or types.

[0071] Top cover feeding assembly mechanism 5, such as Figures 5-8 It includes a cover feeding mechanism, a cover handling mechanism 54, a cover adjustment station 57, a cover transfer mechanism 53, and an accessory feeding mechanism.

[0072] The upper cover feeding mechanism includes a vibratory feeder material distribution mechanism 51, an upper cover conveyor line 52, and a feeding station 521.

[0073] The vibratory feeder distribution mechanism 51 vibrates the chaotic top cover into a uniform posture and outputs the materials one by one.

[0074] The loading station 521 is connected to the cover conveyor line 52. The loading station 521 is located at the end of the cover conveyor line 52 and serves as the end-of-line interceptor.

[0075] The top cover conveying mechanism 54 is a PPU conveying mechanism. The top cover adjustment station 57 is used to adjust the centering of the top cover. For example, the top cover can be placed on the adjustment platform and the top cover can be clamped by several claws around the adjustment platform to achieve centering. Alternatively, the top cover can be positioned and centered by setting a groove that matches the shape of the top cover. Alternatively, the position of the top cover can be adjusted to center it by setting a suction cup or other mechanism. The same applies to the accessory centering station 564.

[0076] The material loading station 534, the cover handling mechanism 54, and the cover adjustment station 57 constitute the handling and positioning mechanism.

[0077] The cover transfer mechanism 53 is equipped with a carrier for receiving the cover, the carrier having a groove that matches the shape of the cover, such as... Figure 6 In this embodiment, the top cover transfer mechanism 53 includes a turntable body 531, a feeding station 521 and several accessory feeding mechanisms arranged around the top cover transfer mechanism 53, which makes the equipment more integrated and reduces the size of the equipment. The top cover transfer mechanism 53 is provided with four sets of carriers 50, which correspond to the initial station 532, the inner lining paper feeding station 533, the outer paper feeding station 534 and the transfer station 535 respectively.

[0078] The accessory feeding mechanism is set up in two sets, namely the inner lining paper feeding mechanism 56 and the outer paper feeding mechanism 55.

[0079] like Figure 8 The parts loading mechanism includes a parts hopper 562, a parts handling mechanism 561, and a parts posture adjustment station. The parts posture adjustment station includes a parts centering station 564 and a parts angle adjustment station 563, used for centering and angle adjustment of parts, respectively. Angle adjustment can be achieved by placing parts, such as inner or outer lining paper, on a turntable or a rotatable suction cup structure and adjusting the angle by rotation. Angle rotation can be controlled by a vision recognition system, or it can be a fixed-angle rotation adjustment. Each parts loading mechanism has a parts hopper 562 to... Two sets are set up. When one set of parts hoppers 562 is out of material, the other set of parts hoppers 562 is used to retrieve the material, so as to achieve uninterrupted material feeding. The parts hoppers 562 can be set to be movable, or the parts handling mechanism 561 can be set to be lateral, so as to facilitate the switching of parts hoppers 562. After the parts are taken out of the parts hoppers 562, the parts handling mechanism 561 places them in sequence on the centering station 564 and the parts angle adjustment station 563 for posture adjustment. After adjustment, the parts are placed on the top cover by the parts handling mechanism 561 to complete the assembly.

[0080] The top cover conveying mechanism 54 moves the top cover at the loading station 521 to the top cover adjustment station 57. The top cover that has been adjusted and aligned at the top cover adjustment station 57 is moved to the initial station 532. The top cover transfer mechanism 53 rotates, so that the top cover reaches the inner liner paper loading station 533. The inner liner paper loading mechanism 56 places the inner liner paper on the top cover. The top cover transfer mechanism 53 rotates again, so that the top cover reaches the outer paper loading station 534. The outer paper loading mechanism 55 places the outer paper on the top cover. The top cover transfer mechanism 53 rotates again, so that the top cover reaches the transfer station 535, waiting to be picked up and assembled with the bottom cover.

[0081] The lower cover feeding mechanism 9 is also equipped with a handling and positioning mechanism consisting of a feeding station, a lower cover conveying mechanism and a lower cover adjustment station, wherein the lower cover adjustment station may include angle adjustment and / or centering adjustment.

[0082] Upper and lower cover press-fit module 6, such as Figures 9-13 It includes a lower cover transfer mechanism 62, a pressing mechanism 61, an inspection mechanism 63, a material unloading mechanism 64, and a defective rejection mechanism 65.

[0083] Both the upper cover transfer mechanism 53 and the lower cover transfer mechanism 62 include turntable bodies, namely the upper cover turntable body 531 and the lower cover turntable body 652. The carrier is provided with several sets on the turntable body. The rotation of the turntable body enables the carrier to switch between different process stations, realize multi-station synchronous work, and improve assembly efficiency.

[0084] like Figure 9 The cover transfer mechanism 53 is equipped with several carriers 50, which are used to carry the cover. Each carrier corresponds to a process station, namely the cover initial station 532, the inner liner paper feeding station 533, the outer paper feeding station 534, and the transfer station 535. Each station is equipped with a corresponding mechanism to complete the corresponding process.

[0085] The lower cover transfer mechanism 62 is equipped with several carriers 50, which are used to carry the lower cover. Each carrier corresponds to a process station, namely the lower cover initial station 623, the pressing station 624, the inspection station 622, and the unloading station 622.

[0086] The carrier structures in the lower cover transfer mechanism 62 and the upper cover transfer mechanism 53 should be designed according to their functions and the corresponding structures of the lower and upper covers.

[0087] The pressing mechanism 61 is located between the upper cover transfer mechanism 53 and the lower cover transfer mechanism 62. The rotating body 611 rotates 180° to transfer the upper cover in the transfer station 535 to the pressing station 624 for pressing.

[0088] like Figure 11 The pressing mechanism 61 includes a rotating body 611, a pressing drive assembly 613, and a pressing mold 612. The rotating body 611 is mounted on a rotating shaft and connected to a rotating drive motor 613. Two sets of pressing drive assembly 613 and pressing mold 612 are provided and symmetrically mounted on the rotating body 611. The two pressing molds 612 can simultaneously complete the pressing of the upper cover and the pressing of the upper cover and the lower cover.

[0089] At transfer station 535, the top cover, inner liner paper, and outer paper are pressed together by pressing mold 612. After pressing, the combination of the top cover, inner liner paper, and outer paper is grasped, and the rotating body 611 rotates to transfer the top cover to pressing station 624 for pressing, so that the top cover, inner liner paper, outer paper, and bottom cover are combined and formed. The top cover, inner liner paper, and outer paper are then folded into the gap between the top and bottom covers to form a complete product. The combined top and bottom covers are transferred to inspection station 622. Inspection station 622 is equipped with inspection mechanism 63, which is used to inspect the top cover of the pressed material. In this embodiment, inspection mechanism 63 adopts a vision inspection module, which includes a camera and a light source. The inspected badge is transferred to unloading station 622. Inspection mechanism 63 includes top cover appearance inspection module 631 and bottom cover appearance inspection module 632. Bottom cover appearance inspection module 632 is set at unloading conveyor belt 643.

[0090] The unloading mechanism 64 is located at the unloading station 622. The unloading mechanism 64 is used to remove the inspected material from the carrier, such as... Figure 13 The feeding mechanism 64 includes a flipping component 641, a feeding conveyor belt 643, a receiving platform 642, and a feeding and picking component 644. Since the pressed badge is facing upwards in the carrier with a pin on the bottom cover, it is unstable during the conveying process. Therefore, the flipping component 641 flips the badge so that the bottom cover faces upwards, so that the top cover contacts the conveyor belt, and performs an appearance inspection on the bottom cover of the flipped product. The flipping component 641 is used to flip the material in the carrier. Its structure generally includes a motor and a flipping arm. The end of the flipping arm is equipped with an electromagnet or a suction cup. After grabbing the badge, the motor drives the flipping arm to rotate 180° and place the badge on the receiving platform 642. The receiving platform 642 is used to receive the material flipped by the flipping component 641. The feeding and picking component 644 is used to remove the material on the receiving platform 642 and place it on the feeding conveyor belt 643. The feeding and picking component 644 generally includes a displacement drive and an electromagnet. The displacement drive causes the electromagnet to move and contact the badge, transferring it to the feeding conveyor belt 643.

[0091] The feeding conveyor belt 643 is used to transport the tumbled material. The defective rejection mechanism 65 rejects the unqualified material according to the detection results of the detection mechanism. The defective rejection mechanism 65 is set at the feeding conveyor belt 643 and can be pneumatically blown out or gripped and rejected by a gripping mechanism.

They should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.
