[0030] The exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0031] In the description of the present application, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating orientations or positional relationships, are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present application.

[0032] The embodiment of the present application discloses a connector automatic assembly device, which is particularly used for the automatic assembly of a video signal connector. like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a connector automatic assembly device of this embodiment includes a frame 1, on which a feeding device, a pre-assembly device, a riveting device and a discharge device are fixedly arranged, and the discharge port of the feeding device and the feeding port of the riveting device are connected through a feeding mechanism.

[0033] The feeding device comprises a feeding mechanism for conveying connector accessories and a first dislocation mechanism for shifting the connector accessories to a pre-assembly position. The feeding mechanism and the first dislocation mechanism are connected via a conveying pipe 2 .

[0034] In this embodiment, the connector parts conveyed by the feeding mechanism are cylindrical rivets. The structure of the cylindrical rivets is as shown in FIG. Figure 3 .

[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, the feeding mechanism includes a vibration plate 3 equipped with connector accessories, a plurality of cylindrical rivets are installed in the vibration plate 3, and a feeding assembly capable of allowing the cylindrical rivets to enter the feeding pipe 2 is arranged in the vibration plate 3, and the feeding assembly is not shown in the figure.

[0036] The material discharge assembly is connected to the first misalignment mechanism through the material delivery pipe 2.

[0037] The diameter of the feed pipe 2 of this embodiment is slightly larger than the diameter of the cylindrical rivet, so that the cylindrical rivet can vertically pass through the feed pipe 2 and enter the first misalignment mechanism.

[0038] The feeding method of the blanking assembly is to allow one cylindrical rivet to enter the feeding pipe 2 at a time. Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, there are two feed pipes 2, and the feeding method of the blanking assembly is to allow two cylindrical rivets to enter the two feed pipes 2 simultaneously each time, and one cylindrical rivet enters each feed pipe 2.

[0039] The cylindrical rivet enters the first dislocation mechanism through the feeding pipe 2, so that the first dislocation mechanism can push the cylindrical rivet to the pre-assembly position for pre-assembly.

[0040] like Figure 4 As shown, the first misalignment mechanism includes a first fixing seat 4 , a supporting seat 5 and a first driving member 6 for driving the supporting seat 5 .

[0041] The first fixing seat 4 is fixedly mounted on the frame 1 . The first fixing seat 4 includes a base plate 41 and a fixing rod 42 . In this embodiment, the fixing rod 42 is perpendicular to the base plate 41 .

[0042] The first driving member 6 is located between the upper end surface of the chassis 41 and the lower end surface of the support seat 5 , and the first driving member 6 is fixedly connected to the first fixed seat 4 , and the first driving member 6 is slidably connected to the support seat 5 .

[0043] The first driving member 6 can drive the support base 5 to move back and forth along the y-axis direction of the coordinate system in the figure. like Figure 4 As shown, a support arm 421 is fixedly mounted on the fixing rod 42 . In this embodiment, the support arm 421 is perpendicular to the fixing rod 42 , and the support arm 421 and the upper end surface of the chassis 41 are parallel to each other.

[0044] A fixing part 422 is fixedly mounted on the support arm 421 . There are two fixing parts 422 symmetrically arranged. Each fixing part 422 is fixedly connected to a feed pipe 2 . The fixing parts 422 are located above the support seat 5 .

[0045] Each fixing member 422 is provided with a through hole in a vertical direction, one end of the through hole is connected to the material conveying pipe 2 , and the other end of the through hole is opposite to the support seat 5 .

[0046] The material discharge assembly is connected to the through hole in the fixing member 422 through the material delivery pipe 2. Therefore, the cylindrical rivet in the vibration plate 3 can pass through the material delivery pipe 2 and the through hole in turn and fall onto the support seat 5.

[0047] A positioning block 7 is fixedly mounted on the support seat 5, and the positioning block 7 is located below the fixing member 422. Figure 5 As shown, a positioning hole 8 is formed at one end of the positioning block 7, and the positioning hole 8 can be clearance-matched with the connector fitting.

[0048] When the first driving member 6 is not working, the support seat 5 stays in a position where the positioning hole 8 is located just below the through hole, so that the cylindrical rivet can fall into the positioning hole 8 when passing through the feed pipe 2, through the through hole and falling on the support seat 5.

[0049] like Figure 6 and 7 As shown, a tightening block 9 is provided through the positioning block 7. One end of the tightening block 9 enters the interior of the positioning hole 8 and is provided with a working surface 91. The working surface 91 is matched with the outer circumference of the cylindrical rivet.

[0050] The positioning hole 8 has an opening and is a semi-hole structure. When the first driving member 6 is not working, that is, when the feeding mechanism feeds the first dislocation mechanism, after the cylindrical rivet falls into the positioning hole 8, Figure 7 As shown, the working surface 91 of the tightening block 9 and the positioning hole 8 jointly constrain the cylindrical rivet, ensuring that the cylindrical rivet can stand upright on the supporting seat 5 in a vertical posture, which is convenient for subsequent pre-assembly.

[0051] In actual application, after the cylindrical rivet falls from the through hole into the positioning hole 8 of the positioning block 7, the working surface 91 combines with the positioning hole 8 to make the cylindrical rivet stand upright on the support seat 5, and the first driving member 6 drives the support seat 5 to shift, so that the support seat 5 drives the cylindrical rivet in the positioning hole 8 to move in the positive direction of the y-axis to the pre-assembly position, which is convenient for the pre-assembly device to perform pre-assembly. In this embodiment, the first driving member 6 is a cylinder.

[0052] The preassembly device is used to move the semi-finished connector obtained after preassembly to the riveting device through the feeding mechanism.

[0053] like Figure 1 As shown, the preassembly device includes a mechanical arm 14, and a mechanical gripper 26 is connected to the mechanical arm 14.

[0054] like Figure 2 As shown, the material feeding mechanism includes a first slideway 12 , and a second fixing seat 13 is fixedly mounted on the frame 1 , and the upper end surface of the second fixing seat 13 is flush with the upper end surface of the supporting seat 5 .

[0055] When the first driving member 6 drives the supporting seat 5 to shift to contact with the second fixing seat 13 , the supporting seat 5 reaches the pre-assembly position.

[0056] In actual application, after the cylinder driving support seat 5 as the first driving member 6 reaches the pre-assembly position, the preliminary assembly of the connecting device begins, that is, assembling two cylindrical rivets and quasi-accessories into a semi-finished connector, such as Figure 8 Shown is a schematic diagram of the pre-assembly between the quasi-fitting and two cylindrical rivets of this embodiment.

[0057] The mechanical arm 14 manipulates the mechanical gripper 26 to place the quasi-part from top to bottom on the two cylindrical rivets, so that the two cylindrical rivets are inserted into the rivet holes of the quasi-part. Figure 8 As shown, the mechanical arm 14 then manipulates the mechanical gripper 26 to translate the pre-assembled connector semi-finished product out of the positioning hole 8 along the positive direction of the y-axis. The schematic diagram of the obtained connector semi-finished product is shown in FIG. Fig. 9 .

[0058] In this process, the cylindrical rivet of the semi-finished connector cannot be separated from the upper end surface of the support seat 5 because it has not been riveted yet.

[0059] like Figure 7As shown, the other end of the pressing block 9 is abutted against a limiting member 11 fixedly connected to the positioning block 7 via a spring 10 .

[0060] In this embodiment, the stopper 11 and the positioning block 7 are fixed by bolts, which are not shown. Figure 6 As shown, the bolt passes through the first threaded hole 28 on the limiting member 11 and is tightened and fixed in the second threaded hole 29 on the positioning block 7, so that the limiting member 11 is tightly fixed on the positioning block 7, thereby limiting the spring 10.

[0061] When the robotic arm 14 moves the semi-finished connector out of the positioning hole 8, the cylindrical rivet moves out from the direction of the opening of the positioning hole 8. At this time, the cylindrical rivet exerts a force on the working surface 91 of the tightening block 9, so that the spring 10 between the tightening block 9 and the limiting member 11 is compressed under the force. At the same time, the positioning block 7 limits the spring 10, and one end of the working surface 91 of the tightening block 9 is completely retracted into the main body of the positioning block 7. The cylindrical rivet in the semi-finished connector can be detached from the positioning hole 8. The robotic arm 14 translates the semi-finished connector to the second fixed seat 13. At this time, the semi-finished connector is detached from the feeding device.

[0062] The first slideway 12 is fixedly disposed on the upper end surface of the second fixing seat 13 .

[0063] After the robot arm 14 translates the connector semi-finished product along the positive direction of the y-axis to the second fixed seat 13, it stays at a position that is in the same straight line as the long axis center line of the first slide 12, and then passes through the first slide 12 along the long axis direction of the first slide 12 to enter the riveting device.

[0064] The riveting device comprises a second dislocation mechanism and a riveting mechanism. The second dislocation mechanism is slidably connected to the frame 1 , and the upper end surface of the second dislocation mechanism is flush with the upper end surface of the first slideway 12 of the feeding mechanism.

[0065] The second dislocation mechanism is used to shift the semi-finished connector passing through the first slideway 12 to the bottom of the riveting mechanism for riveting to obtain a complete connecting device.

[0066] like Figure 2 and Fig.10 As shown, the second misalignment mechanism includes a misalignment slider 15 and a third fixed seat 16 fixedly mounted on the frame 1. The misalignment slider 15 is slidably connected to the third fixed seat 16. A sliding groove is provided in the third fixed seat 16. The second misalignment mechanism also includes a second driving member 17 fixed on the frame 1 and driving the misalignment slider 15 to slide back and forth in the sliding groove. The second driving member 17 in this embodiment is a cylinder.

[0067] There is a connection position in the sliding groove, and a second slideway 18 is fixedly provided on the upper end surface of the dislocation slider 15 . When the dislocation slider 15 is located at the connection position, the second slideway 18 is connected to the first slideway 12 .

[0068] When the second driving member 17 is not working, the original position of the offset slide block 15 is located at the connecting position.

[0069] In this embodiment, the long axis directions of the first slideway 12 and the second slideway 18 are both in the x-axis direction.

[0070] The second misalignment mechanism also includes an infrared sensor 19, such as Fig.11 As shown, the infrared sensor 19 is fixedly mounted on the frame 1 via a supporting cross bar 27 and is located above the offset slider 15 .

[0071] The robot arm 14 controls the semi-finished connector to pass through the first slideway 12 and enter the second slideway 18 of the offset slider 15 and then stop. The robot arm 14 controls the mechanical gripper 26 to release the semi-finished connector and return to the initial position for the next pre-assembly.

[0072] When the infrared sensor 19 senses that the semi-finished connector reaches the second slideway 18 , the second driving member 17 drives the offset slider 15 to slide along the negative direction of the y-axis to below the riveting mechanism.

[0073] The riveting mechanism is fixedly connected to the frame 1 and is located above the second offset mechanism and the discharging device.

[0074] Specifically, the riveting mechanism is located above the third fixing seat 16. Figure 1 and Fig.11 As shown, the riveting mechanism includes a riveting head 20 , a fourth fixing seat 21 and a third driving member 22 .

[0075] The fourth fixed seat 21 is installed on the frame 1, and the third driving member 22 is fixedly installed on the fourth fixed seat 21. The third driving member 22 passes through the top plate of the fourth fixed seat 21 and is fixedly connected to the riveting head 20, and drives the riveting head 20 to move up and down along the z-axis. In this embodiment, the third driving member 22 is a cylinder.

[0076] When the connector semi-finished product moves to the bottom of the riveting mechanism under the drive of the second driving member 17, the connector semi-finished product is located directly below the riveting head 20, that is, the riveting head 20 is aligned with the cylindrical rivet. In actual applications, this is achieved by setting specific parameters of the moving path of the robot arm.

[0077] The third driving member 22 drives the riveting head 20 to move downward to rivet the connector semi-finished product directly below to obtain a complete connecting device.

[0078] The complete connecting device is discharged through the discharge device, which includes an ejection mechanism and a third slideway 23. Fig.11 As shown, the ejection mechanism includes an ejection block 24 for ejecting the assembled connection device into the third slideway 23 and a fourth driving member 25 for driving the ejection block 24 to move back and forth. The fourth driving member 25 is fixedly mounted on the frame 1, and in this embodiment, the fourth driving member 25 is a cylinder.

[0079] When the offset slider 15 slides to the riveting position, the third slideway 23 is connected to the second slideway 18 .

[0080] The discharge end 231 of the third slideway 23 is provided with a collecting device for collecting the connecting components, which is not shown in the figure.

[0081] After the riveting is completed, the fourth driving member 25 drives the pushing block 24 to push the obtained connecting device into the third slideway 23 to complete the discharge. Under the action of gravity, the connecting device passes through the third slideway 23 and enters the collecting device from the discharge end 231.

[0082] like Figure 1 As shown, the device also includes a display screen 30, on which parameters of various devices in the assembly process are displayed. On-site staff can adjust the parameters through the display screen 30, and can also control the start and stop of the device through the display screen 30.

[0083] The implementation principle of this embodiment is: the cylindrical rivet of the connector accessory in the vibration plate 3 of the feeding mechanism is fed through the feed pipe 2 to the support seat 5 of the first offset mechanism and falls into the positioning hole 8. The cylindrical rivet remains in an upright state under the constraints of the positioning hole 8 and the working surface 91. Then, the support seat 5 slides along the positive direction of the y-axis under the drive of the first driving member 6 until it contacts the second fixed seat 13.

[0084] At this time, the pre-assembly device places the quasi-accessories on the cylindrical rivets to assemble the semi-finished connector, and translates the semi-finished connector from the upper end face of the support seat 5 along the positive direction of the y-axis to the upper end face of the second fixed seat 13, and then allows the semi-finished connector to pass through the first slide 12 and enter the riveting device. During this process, the semi-finished connector does not leave the upper end face of the support seat 5 or the second fixed seat 13. At this time, the second slide 18 on the offset slider 15 of the riveting device is located at the connection position, and the second slide 18 is connected to the first slide 12.

[0085] When the infrared sensor 19 senses that the semi-finished connector has reached the second slide 18, the pre-assembly device releases the semi-finished connector, and the second driving member 17 drives the offset slider 15 to slide along the negative direction of the y-axis to the bottom of the riveting mechanism. The riveting head 20 of the riveting mechanism rivets the semi-finished connector under the drive of the third driving member 22 to obtain a complete connecting device.

[0086] The ejection mechanism of the discharge device pushes the complete connector into the third slideway 23, and the connector falls into the collecting device, thus completing the assembly and discharge of the connector. Figure 2 , Fig.10 as well as Fig.11 Both show the state of the complete connecting device before being pushed into the third slideway 23.

[0087] The above is only a preferred implementation of the present application. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present application. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present application.
