[0052] The embodiments of the present application disclose an automatic connector assembling device, particularly for automatic assembling of a video signal connector,

[0053] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the automatic connector assembling device of the present embodiment comprises a rack 1, which is fixedly provided with a feeding device, a pre-assembling device, a riveting device, and a discharging device, and the discharge port of the feeding device and the feeding port of the riveting device are connected through a feeding mechanism.

[0054] The feeding device comprises a feeding mechanism for conveying connector fittings and a first displacement mechanism for displacing the connector fittings to a pre-assembling position, and the feeding mechanism and the first displacement mechanism are connected through a feeding pipe 2.

[0055] In the present embodiment, the connector fittings conveyed by the feeding mechanism are cylindrical rivets, and the structure of the cylindrical rivet is referred to Figure 3 .

[0056] As shown in Figure 2 , the feeding mechanism comprises a vibrating disc 3 loaded with connector fittings, the vibrating disc 3 is loaded with a plurality of cylindrical rivets, and the vibrating disc 3 is provided with a discharging assembly capable of allowing the cylindrical rivets to enter the feeding pipe 2, and the discharging assembly is not shown in the figure.

[0057] The discharging assembly is connected with the first displacement mechanism through the feeding pipe 2.

[0058] The pipe diameter of the feeding pipe 2 of the present embodiment is slightly larger than the diameter of the cylindrical rivet, so that the cylindrical rivet can vertically pass through the feeding pipe 2 and enter the first displacement mechanism.

[0059] The feeding mode of the feeding assembly is to feed one cylindrical rivet into each of the two feeding pipes 2 at a time. Figure 2 The feeding mode of the feeding assembly is to feed two cylindrical rivets into the two feeding pipes 2 at a time, one cylindrical rivet into each of the two feeding pipes 2.

[0060] The cylindrical rivet passes through the feeding pipe 2 and enters the first displacement mechanism, which facilitates the first displacement mechanism to push the cylindrical rivet to the pre-assembly position for pre-assembly.

[0061] As shown in the figure, Figure 4 The first displacement mechanism includes a first fixed seat 4, a support seat 5, and a first driving member 6 for driving the support seat 5.

[0062] The first fixed seat 4 is fixedly installed on the rack 1, and the first fixed seat 4 includes a bottom plate 41 and a fixed rod 42. In this embodiment, the fixed rod 42 is perpendicular to the bottom plate 41.

[0063] The first driving member 6 is located between the upper end surface of the bottom plate 41 and the lower end surface of the support seat 5, and is fixedly connected between the first fixed seat 4 and the first driving member 6. The first driving member 6 is slidingly connected with the support seat 5.

[0064] The first driving member 6 can drive the support seat 5 to move back and forth along the y-axis direction of the coordinate system in the figure,

[0065] As shown in the figure, Figure 4 The fixed rod 42 is fixedly installed with a support arm 421, which is perpendicular to the fixed rod 42 in this embodiment, and the support arm 421 is parallel to the upper end surface of the bottom plate 41.

[0066] The support arm 421 is fixedly installed with a fixed member 422, and the fixed member 422 has two and is symmetrically arranged. Each fixed member 422 is fixedly connected with one feeding pipe 2, and the fixed member 422 is located above the support seat 5.

[0067] Each fixed member 422 is provided with a vertical through hole, one end of which is in communication with the feeding pipe 2, and the other end is opposite to the support seat 5.

[0068] The feeding assembly is in communication with the through hole in the fixed member 422 through the feeding pipe 2. Therefore, the cylindrical rivet in the vibration disc 3 can fall onto the support seat 5 in turn through the feeding pipe 2 and the through hole.

[0069] The support seat 5 is fixedly installed with a positioning block 7, which is located below the fixed member 422, as shown in the figure. Figure 5 One end of the positioning block 7 is provided with a positioning hole 8, which can be matched with the connector assembly.

[0070] When the first driving member 6 is not working, the position where the support base 5 stays is such that the positioning hole 8 is just below the through hole, so that when the cylindrical rivet falls on the support base 5 through the feeding pipe 2 and the through hole, it can fall into the positioning hole 8.

[0071] As shown in Figure 6 and 7 , the positioning block 7 is provided with a clamping block 9 penetratingly arranged therein, one end of the clamping block 9 enters the inside of the positioning hole 8 and is provided with a working surface 91 which is in engagement with the outer periphery of the cylindrical rivet.

[0072] The positioning hole 8 is an open hole and has a half-hole structure. When the first driving member 6 is not working, i.e. when the feeding mechanism feeds the first misalignment mechanism, after the cylindrical rivet falls into the positioning hole 8, as shown in Figure 7 , the working surface 91 of the clamping block 9 and the positioning hole 8 jointly constrain the cylindrical rivet, so as to ensure that the cylindrical rivet can stand vertically on the support base 5, facilitating subsequent pre-assembly.

[0073] In actual application, after the cylindrical rivet falls into the positioning hole 8 of the positioning block 7 from the through hole, the working surface 91 in combination with the positioning hole 8 makes the cylindrical rivet stand on the support base 5. The first driving member 6 drives the support base 5 to move, so that the support base 5 drives the cylindrical rivet in the positioning hole 8 to move to a pre-assembly position along the positive direction of the y-axis, facilitating the pre-assembly device to perform pre-assembly. In this embodiment, the first driving member 6 is a pneumatic cylinder.

[0074] The pre-assembly device is used to move the semi-finished connector obtained after pre-assembly to a riveting device through a feeding mechanism.

[0075] As shown in Figure 1 , the pre-assembly device comprises a mechanical arm 14, and the mechanical arm 14 is connected with a mechanical gripper 26.

[0076] As shown in Figure 2 , the feeding mechanism comprises a first slide 12, and a second fixed base 13 is fixedly installed on the rack 1, and the upper end surface of the second fixed base 13 is flush with the upper end surface of the support base 5.

[0077] When the first driving member 6 drives the support base 5 to move to contact the second fixed base 13, the support base 5 reaches the pre-assembly position.

[0078] In actual application, after the pneumatic cylinder as the first driving member 6 drives the support base 5 to reach the pre-assembly position, preliminary assembly of the connecting member is started, i.e. two cylindrical rivets and a mating part are assembled into a semi-finished connector, as shown in Figure 8 which is a schematic view of pre-assembly between the mating part and the two cylindrical rivets in this embodiment.

[0079] The robotic arm 14 manipulates the mechanical gripper 26 to place the pre-fit part onto two cylindrical rivets from top to bottom, so that the two cylindrical rivets are inserted into the rivet holes of the pre-fit part. Figure 8 As shown, the robotic arm 14 then manipulates the mechanical gripper 26 to move the pre-assembled connector semi-finished product out of the positioning hole 8 along the positive y-axis. A schematic diagram of the resulting connector semi-finished product is shown below. Figure 9 .

[0080] During this process, since the connector semi-finished product has not yet been riveted, the cylindrical rivets cannot be removed from the upper surface of the support base 5.

[0081] like Figure 7 As shown, the other end of the clamping block 9 is abutted against the limiting member 11 fixedly connected to the positioning block 7 by the spring 10.

[0082] In this embodiment, the limiting member 11 and the positioning block 7 are locked together by bolts (not shown). Figure 6 As shown, the bolt passes through the first threaded hole 28 on the limiting member 11 and is tightened into 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.

[0083] When the robotic arm 14 removes the connector semi-finished product from the positioning hole 8, the cylindrical rivet moves out from the opening of the positioning hole 8. At this time, the cylindrical rivet exerts a force on the working surface 91 of the clamping block 9, causing the spring 10 between the clamping block 9 and the limiting member 11 to be 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 clamping block 9 is completely retracted into the body of the positioning block 7. The cylindrical rivet in the connector semi-finished product can be disengaged from the positioning hole 8. The robotic arm 14 moves the connector semi-finished product to the second fixed seat 13. At this time, the connector semi-finished product is removed from the feeding device.

[0084] The first slide rail 12 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the second fixed seat 13.

[0085] After the robotic arm 14 moves the connector semi-finished product along the positive y-axis to the second fixed seat 13, it stops at a position that is in line with the center line of the long axis of the first slide 12. Then, along the long axis of the first slide 12, the connector semi-finished product passes through the first slide 12 and enters the riveting device.

[0086] The riveting device includes a second misalignment mechanism and a riveting mechanism. The second misalignment mechanism is slidably connected to the frame 1, and the upper end face of the second misalignment mechanism is flush with the upper end face of the first slide 12 of the feeding mechanism.

[0087] The second misalignment mechanism is used to move the connector semi-finished product that has passed through the first slide rail 12 to the bottom of the riveting mechanism for riveting to obtain a complete connecting device.

[0088] As Figure 2 and Figure 10 shown, the second displacement mechanism includes a displacement slider 15 and a third fixed seat 16 fixedly installed on the rack 1, the displacement slider 15 is in sliding connection with the third fixed seat 16, a sliding groove is formed in the third fixed seat 16, the second displacement mechanism further includes a second driving member 17 fixedly installed on the rack 1 and driving the displacement slider 15 to slide back and forth in the sliding groove, the second driving member 17 of the embodiment is a gas cylinder.

[0089] There is a connection station in the sliding groove, the upper end surface of the displacement slider 15 is fixedly provided with a second sliding channel 18, when the displacement slider 15 is located in the connection station, the second sliding channel 18 is in communication with the first sliding channel 12.

[0090] In the case that the second driving member 17 does not work, the original position of the displacement slider 15 is located in the connection station.

[0091] In the embodiment, the long axis direction of the first sliding channel 12 and the second sliding channel 18 is the x-axis direction.

[0092] The second displacement mechanism further includes an infrared sensor 19, as Figure 11 shown, the infrared sensor 19 is fixedly installed on the rack 1 through a support crossbar 27 and located above the displacement slider 15.

[0093] The mechanical arm 14 stops after controlling the connector semi-finished product to pass through the first sliding channel 12 and enter the second sliding channel 18 of the displacement slider 15, the mechanical arm 14 controls the mechanical gripper 26 to loosen the connector semi-finished product and returns to the initial position for the next pre-assembly.

[0094] When the infrared sensor 19 senses that the connector semi-finished product reaches the second sliding channel 18, the second driving member 17 drives the displacement slider 15 to slide along the negative direction of the y-axis to below the riveting mechanism.

[0095] The riveting mechanism is fixedly connected with the rack 1 and located above the second displacement mechanism and the discharging device.

[0096] Specifically, the riveting mechanism is located above the third fixed seat 16, as Figure 1 and Figure 11 shown, the riveting mechanism includes a riveting head 20, a fourth fixed seat 21 and a third driving member 22.

[0097] The fourth fixed seat 21 is installed on the rack 1, the third driving member 22 is fixedly installed on the fourth fixed seat 21, the third driving member 22 is fixedly connected with the riveting head 20 through the top surface of the fourth fixed seat 21 and drives the riveting head 20 to move up and down along the z-axis, the third driving member 22 of the embodiment is a gas cylinder.

[0098] When the connector semi-finished product moves to the underside of the riveting mechanism under the drive of the second drive component 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 practical applications, this is achieved by setting specific parameters of the robotic arm's movement path.

[0099] The third driving component 22 drives the riveting head 20 to move downwards to rivet the connector semi-finished product directly below, thus obtaining a complete connecting device.

[0100] The complete connecting device is discharged through a discharge device, which includes an ejection mechanism and a third slide 23, such as... Figure 11 As shown, the ejection mechanism includes an ejector block 24 for ejecting the assembled connecting device into the third slide rail 23, and a fourth drive member 25 for driving the ejector block 24 to move back and forth. The fourth drive member 25 is fixedly mounted on the frame 1. In this embodiment, the fourth drive member 25 is a cylinder.

[0101] When the misaligned slider 15 slides to the riveting position, the third slide 23 connects with the second slide 18.

[0102] The discharge end 231 of the third slide 23 is provided with a collection device for collecting connecting devices, which is not shown in the figure.

[0103] After the riveting is completed, the fourth drive component 25 drives the top material block 24 to push the obtained connecting device into the third slide 23 to complete the discharge. Under the action of gravity, the connecting device passes through the third slide 23 and enters the collection device from the discharge end 231.

[0104] like Figure 1 As shown, the device also includes a display screen 30, which displays the parameters of various devices during the assembly process. On-site personnel can adjust the parameters through the display screen 30 and control the start and stop of the device through the display screen 30.

[0105] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: the cylindrical rivet of the connector accessory in the vibratory plate 3 of the feeding mechanism is fed into the support seat 5 of the first misalignment mechanism through the feeding pipe 2 and falls into the positioning hole 8. The cylindrical rivet is kept in an upright state under the constraint 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.

[0106] At this time, the pre-assembly device places the connector half-finished product on the cylindrical rivet and assembles it into a connector half-finished product, and then translates the connector half-finished product along the positive direction of the y-axis from the upper end surface of the support seat 5 to the upper end surface of the second fixed seat 13, and then makes the connector half-finished product pass through the first sliding channel 12 into the riveting device, in the process, the connector half-finished product does not leave the upper end surface of the support seat 5 or the second fixed seat 13, at this time, the second sliding channel 18 on the staggered sliding block 15 of the riveting device is located in the connecting station, and the second sliding channel 18 is in communication with the first sliding channel 12.

[0107] When the infrared sensor 19 senses that the connector half-finished product reaches the second sliding channel 18, the pre-assembly device releases the connector half-finished product, the second driving member 17 drives the staggered sliding block 15 to slide along the negative direction of the y-axis to the lower side of the riveting mechanism, the riveting head 20 of the riveting mechanism is driven by the third driving member 22 to rivet the connector half-finished product, and a complete connector device is obtained.

[0108] The ejection mechanism of the discharging device ejects the complete connector device into the third sliding channel 23, and the connector device falls into the collecting device, and the assembly and discharge of the connector are completed. Figure 2 、 Figure 10 and Figure 11 all show the state of the complete connector device before being ejected into the third sliding channel 23.

[0109] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, it should be noted that for those skilled in the art, without departing from the technical principles of the present application, a number of improvements and modifications can be made, these improvements and modifications should also be considered as the protection scope of the present application.
