[0035] In order to more clearly understand the technical means of the present invention and implement it according to the contents of the specification, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention but are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0036] See also Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the present invention discloses an assembly machine 100 for assembling two semi-finished materials, comprising an assembly table 1, a testing table 2 and a material unloading table 3 which are arranged in sequence and connected to each other, the assembly table 1 is used to assemble two semi-finished materials, and transport the assembled finished materials to the testing table 2, the testing table 2 detects the finished materials, and transports them to the material unloading table 3 for unloading after the inspection is qualified. In this embodiment, the production interaction process of the assembly table 1, the testing table 2 and the material unloading table 3 is fully automated, which not only reduces labor but also improves production efficiency.

[0037] Two loading positions 11 are arranged on opposite sides of the assembly table 1, and the two loading positions 11 are respectively used to place two semi-finished products. An assembly area 12 is arranged on one side of the assembly table 1 close to the inspection table 2, and the two loading positions 11 are respectively connected to the assembly area 12.

[0038] Between one of the loading positions 11 and the assembly area 12, the assembly machine 100 is further provided with a coating component 4 and a blowing component 5 arranged near the coating component 4, wherein one of the semi-finished materials is transported from the corresponding loading position 11 to a position opposite to the coating component 4, so that the solvent in the coating component 4 is coated on the outer wall surface of the semi-finished material under the action of the blowing component 5. In this way, the two semi-finished materials can be assembled after arriving at the assembly area 12 without applying solvent separately, thus saving assembly time.

[0039] In this embodiment, the structures of the two semi-finished materials are different. The semi-finished material that is aligned with the coating component 4 is a tubular material. The tubular material is connected from top to bottom to form a through cavity. When the tubular material is transported to the position aligned with the coating component 4, the blowing component 5, the through cavity and the coating component 4 are aligned with each other, and the gas blown out by the blowing component 5 enters the coating component 4 from the through cavity to coat the solvent inside the coating component 4 on the outer wall surface of the tubular material. Preferably, at this time, the tubular material at least partially extends into the coating component 4, and the blowing component ensures that there is no solvent residue in the through cavity of the tubular material, and the solvent can only be coated on the outer wall surface of the tubular material to prepare for subsequent combination. Of course, in other embodiments, the semi-finished material may not be a tubular material, and only needs to be provided with the through cavity, and there is no limitation on this.

[0040] When the semi-finished material is not provided with the through cavity, the blowing component can also directly blow the coating component 4 to blow the solvent in the coating component 4 onto the outer wall surface of the semi-finished material. At this time, the semi-finished material can be selectively clamped by the clamping jaws and rotated to ensure uniformity of solvent coating.

[0041] The blowing components 5 are provided with two and are independent of each other, and the blowing directions of the two blowing components 5 are perpendicular to each other. In the horizontal direction, the first blowing component 51 is arranged close to the coating component 4 and blows directly downward, and the second blowing component 52 is arranged away from the coating component 4 and blows horizontally. That is, in this embodiment, there are two blowing components 5 and two blowing directions.

[0042] Preferably, the second blowing assembly 52 further comprises a stopper 521 and a blowing portion 522 extending along a horizontal plane, wherein the stopper 521 is used to limit the position of the tubular material so that it is aligned with the blowing portion 522 of the second blowing assembly 522 .

[0043] In this embodiment, when transporting a tubular material of a shorter length, the tubular material can be kept in a vertical state, so that when transported to the position of the coating assembly 4, the through cavity is directly aligned with the first blowing assembly 51 and the coating assembly 4, and a straight-down blowing is performed in the vertical direction. When transporting a tubular material of a longer length, the tubular material cannot be transported in a vertical state, so the end of the tubular material away from the coating assembly 4 will sag, and at this time, one end of the tubular material extends into the coating assembly 4, and the other end extends obliquely toward the second blowing assembly 52. ​​At this time, the stopper 521 of the second blowing assembly 52 positions the end of the tubular material away from the coating assembly 4, so that it is aligned with the blowing part 522 of the second blowing assembly 52, and receives the blowing of the blowing part 522 in the horizontal direction.

[0044] In order to ensure the compactness of the structure, preferably, a flipping structure is further provided on the assembly table 1 near the coating assembly 4, so that when the tubular material is transported to the coating assembly 4, the tubular material is transported horizontally, so that the height is more compact. When the tubular material is transported to a position opposite to the coating assembly 4, the flipping structure is activated to flip the tubular material to a position opposite to the through cavity and the blowing assembly 5 and the coating assembly 4. The flipping structure can be a rotating clamp or a flipping member driven by a rotating cylinder, and there is no limitation on this as long as it can achieve the flipping effect.

[0045] In the vertical direction perpendicular to the horizontal plane, the assembly machine 100 further includes an air suction component 6 located above the coating component 4, and the air suction component 6 is used to absorb irritating gases in the solvent. In other words, the assembly machine 100 is provided with both the air suction component 5 and the air blowing component 6 near the coating component 4 to ensure that the coating component 4 is thoroughly used without polluting the environment.

[0046] The inspection platform 2 is used to receive the finished materials assembled on the assembly platform 1 and transport them to the unloading platform 3. On the transportation path of the finished materials, the inspection platform 2 is provided with a camera module 7, and the camera module 7 is used to detect the quality of the finished materials. In this embodiment, the camera module 7 is installed at the front end of the unloading platform 3, so the inspection platform 2 and the unloading platform 3 can also be regarded as a whole.

[0047] Preferably, a recovery area 21 is further provided between the detection platform 2 and the unloading platform 3 , and when the camera module 7 detects that the finished material is an unqualified product, the unqualified finished material is discharged from the recovery area 21 .

[0048] The finished materials detected by the camera module are transported to the recycling area 21 and the unloading platform 3 via the clamps between the detection platform 2 and the unloading platform.

[0049] See also Figure 7 As shown, the present invention also provides a control method for an assembly machine 100 for assembling two semi-finished products, comprising the following steps:

[0050] Drive the two semi-finished products to move from the corresponding loading positions 11 toward the assembly area 12;

[0051] Controlling the relative position between one of the semi-finished products and the coating component 4;

[0052] Activate the blowing component 5 to apply the solvent in the coating component 4 onto the outer wall surface of the corresponding semi-finished product material;

[0053] Controlling the assembly of two semi-finished products in the assembly area 12;

[0054] The camera module 7 photographs and records the appearance information of the finished product materials passing by;

[0055] judging the quality of the finished material by appearance information;

[0056] According to the determination result, the finished product material is transported to the recycling area 21 or the unloading platform 3 .

[0057] Preferably, controlling the relative position of one of the semi-finished materials and the coating component 4 includes: one of the semi-finished materials is a tubular material, the tubular material is connected from top to bottom to form a through cavity, the tubular material is configured to be rotatable, and the tubular material is controlled to rotate until the blowing component 5, the through cavity and the coating component 4 are aligned with each other.

[0058] Preferably, the loading position 11 is also provided with a detection device connected to the controller, the detection device is used to detect whether the semi-finished material on the loading position is in place, and send a start signal, the controller receives the start signal, and after receiving the start signals respectively sent by the detection devices on the two loading positions 11, drives the two semi-finished materials to move from the corresponding loading position 11 toward the assembly area 12. In this way, the two semi-finished materials can be transported synchronously to ensure the subsequent assembly.

[0059] The assembly area 12 is provided with a finished product position 121, an NG position 122 and an assembly position 123 which are independent of each other. The time when two semi-finished products reach the assembly position 123 is recorded respectively, and the difference between the two times is calculated. According to the difference and the preset time, the finished products are controlled to enter the NG position 122 or enter the finished product position 121 after assembly. Preferably, the assembly position 123 is the area above the finished product position 121 and the NG position 122, that is, the two semi-finished products are assembled in mid-air. This arrangement is based on the fact that if one of the semi-finished products is not assembled and bonded within a certain period of time after the solvent is applied, the solvent gradually dries up and the subsequent assembly quality cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, by calculating the time difference, the tightness of the assembly can be guaranteed, and for the finished products assembled after a large time difference, they are recycled through the NG position 122 to further ensure the quality of the finished products.

[0060] Preferably, an end face detection device is also provided on the assembly area 12, and the end face detection device is used to detect the tightness of the assembly of two semi-finished products.

[0061] In summary, the present invention provides an assembly machine 100 for assembling two semi-finished materials and a control method thereof by setting an assembly table 1, an inspection table 2 and a discharge table 3 which are arranged in sequence and connected to each other, assembling two semi-finished materials placed on two loading positions 11 on the assembly area 12 of the assembly table 1, and transporting them to the inspection table 2, so that under the detection of the camera module 7 of the inspection table 2, unqualified finished materials are discharged from the recovery area 21 between the inspection table 2 and the discharge table 3, and qualified cost materials are transported to the discharge table 3, and a coating component 4 and a blowing component 5 arranged close to the coating component 4 are arranged on the assembly table 1. When one of the semi-finished materials is transported from the corresponding loading position 11 to a position opposite to the coating component 4, under the action of the blowing component 5, the solvent in the coating component 4 is coated on the outer wall surface of the semi-finished material to realize the assembly of the two semi-finished materials, thereby realizing the automation of the whole process.

[0062] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. It should be pointed out that a person skilled in the art can make several improvements and modifications without departing from the technical principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be regarded as within the scope of protection of the present invention.
