It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0020] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs; the terms used herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application. The terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof in the specification and claims of this application and the above-mentioned figure descriptions are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions.

[0021] Some automotive plastic fasteners are connected to the vehicle through clips pre-installed on them. When the automotive plastic fasteners leave the factory, clips need to be installed on the automotive plastic fasteners to facilitate their subsequent installation on the vehicle. Manual installation of clips is inefficient and costly, so a device that can automatically install clips is needed.

[0022] Based on this, in order to realize the automated installation of automobile plastic fastener buckles, the present invention provides an automated buckle installation device for automobile plastic fasteners.

[0023] Please also read Figures 1 to 5 The embodiment of the present application provides an automatic buckle installation device for automobile plastic fasteners, which includes a base 1, a pair of plastic fasteners 2, a feeding mechanism and a picking mechanism. A plurality of mounting buckles 21 are fixedly arranged on the plastic fasteners 2. The plastic fasteners 2, the feeding mechanism and the picking mechanism are all arranged on the base 1. The feeding mechanism is used to transport buckles 22 to the picking mechanism. The picking mechanism is used to clamp the buckles 22 transported by the feeding mechanism and install them inside the mounting buckles 21. Among them, the material picking mechanism includes a robotic arm 41, a mounting frame 42, multiple clamps 43 and a control component. The base of the robotic arm 41 is installed on the base 1, the mounting frame 42 is fixedly set at the control end of the robotic arm 41, the clamps 43 are all slidably set on the mounting frame 42, and the control component is set on the mounting frame 42 for controlling the clamps 43 to move up and down and pick up and place the buckle 22.

[0024] As can be seen from the above, when the device is working, first a pair of plastic fasteners 2 are placed on the corresponding placement positions on the base 1, and then the device is started, the feeding mechanism transports the buckle 22 to the position to be picked up, the mechanical arm 41 moves the installation frame 42 to the position for picking up, and then the control component controls the clamping claw 43 to move down to contact the buckle 22 and clamp the buckle 22, and the control mechanism controls the clamping claw 43 to move up to remove the buckle 22 from the feeding mechanism, so that each clamping claw 43 is clamped to the buckle 22, the mechanical arm 41 moves the installation frame 42 to the position for installing the buckle 22, and then the control mechanism Control a single clamp 43 to move downward, and the robotic arm 41 controls the installation frame 42 to move so that the buckle 22 clamped by the clamp 43 is installed inside the installation buckle 21. Then the control mechanism controls the clamp 43 to move upward and release the buckle 22, completing the installation of one buckle 22. Then repeat the above process to install the buckles 22 clamped by each clamp 43 into the corresponding installation buckle 21. After the installation is completed, the robotic arm 41 controls the installation frame 42 to return to the initial position, and the staff can remove the installed plastic fastener 2, thereby realizing the automated installation of the buckle 22 of the plastic fastener 2.

[0025] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 4 to 7 The buckle 22 includes a clamping head 221 and a clamping portion 222, and the clamping head 221 is fixedly arranged on the clamping portion 222; a clamping port 431 is provided at one end of the clamping jaw 43, and a plurality of convergence grooves 432 are also provided on the outer peripheral surface of the clamping jaw 43; the control component includes a transmission plate 51, a limiting plate 52, a first connecting column 53 and a first power member, one end of the transmission plate 51 and the limiting plate 52 are both slidably connected to a side surface of the mounting frame 42, the two ends of the first connecting column 53 are respectively fixedly connected to the transmission plate 51 and the limiting plate 52, a plurality of limiting grooves 521 are provided on the limiting plate 52, the clamping jaw 43 is penetrated on the limiting plate 52 and is slidably connected to the limiting plate 52 through the limiting grooves 521, and the first power member is used to control the transmission plate 51 to move up and down and control the clamping jaw 43 to move up and down relative to the limiting plate 52.

[0026] With such arrangement, the clamping jaw 43 can be made of elastic plastic, and the convergence groove 432 can allow the clamping jaw 43 to expand outward or converge inward when clamping one end of the buckle 22. After the mechanical arm 41 moves the clamping jaw 43 to the top of the buckle 22, the first power member controls the transmission plate 51, the first connecting column 53 and the limit plate 52 to move downward, and at the same time, the first power member keeps the relative position of the clamping jaw 43 and the limit plate 52 unchanged, and the clamping jaw 43 and the limit plate 52 move downward synchronously and contact the clamping head 221, and the clamping head 221 passes through the clamping opening 431 and enters the inside of the clamping jaw 43. Since the shape of the clamping head 221 is spindle-shaped, when the clamping jaw 43 moves downward, the clamping head 221 causes the bottom of the clamping jaw 43 to gradually expand and then gradually contract, thereby adapting to the shape of the clamping head 221. After the clamping jaw 43 moves to the lowest point, the clamping jaw 43 is close to the buckle 2 2 shrinks and clamps the bottom of the clamping head 221 under its own elastic action, and then the first power piece pulls the clamping claw 43 back to the initial position and takes out the buckle 22, thereby completing the clamping of the buckle 22 by the clamping claw 43; after each clamping claw 43 is clamped to the buckle 22, the mechanical arm 41 moves the installation frame 42 to the installation position of the buckle 22, the first power piece pushes the single clamping claw 43 to move down, and then the mechanical arm 41 controls the clamping claw 43 to move so that the clamping part 222 of the buckle 22 is clamped to the inside of the mounting buckle 21 from the side of the mounting buckle 21, and the first power piece controls the clamping claw 43 to move up again, the mounting buckle 21 keeps the buckle 22 stationary, the bottom of the clamping claw 43 expands and separates from the clamping head 221, and the installation of the single buckle 22 is completed; then the above process can be repeated to complete the installation of other buckles 22.

[0027] Optionally, in some embodiments, referring to Figure 7 The control component also includes a focusing plate 55 and a second connecting column 56. The focusing plate 55 is provided with a focusing opening 551. One end of the focusing plate 55 is slidably connected to a side surface of the mounting frame 42. Both ends of the second connecting column 56 are respectively fixedly connected to the focusing plate 55 and the limiting plate 52. The end of the clamp 43 away from the transmission plate 51 is inserted into the focusing opening 551.

[0028] With such arrangement, when the first power member controls the transmission plate 51 and the limit plate 52 to move downward, the second connecting column 56 and the closing plate 55 move downward synchronously. When the clamping jaw 43 clamps and takes out the buckle 22 from the feeding mechanism, the first power component controls the clamping jaw 43 to move upward relative to the transmission plate 51, the limit plate 52 and the closing plate 55. Since the shape of the bottom of the clamping jaw 43 is approximately spherical, the outer peripheral surface of the clamping jaw 43 contacts the edge of the closing opening 551. As the clamping jaw 43 continues to move upward, the bottom of the clamping jaw 43 is gradually closed by the closing opening 551. Tighten, so that the contact part between the clamping jaw 43 and the clamping head 221 is pressed against the clamping head 221, which can improve the stability of the clamping jaw 43 when clamping the buckle 22. When the robot arm 41 controls the clamping jaw 43 to clamp the clamping part 222 into the inside of the mounting buckle 21, the robot arm 41 controls the mounting frame 42 to move up, while the first power part controls the clamping jaw 43 to move down relative to the focusing plate 55 to loosen the clamping jaw 43 on the clamping head 221. The robot arm 41 continues to control the mounting frame 42 to move up to separate the clamping jaw 43 from the buckle 22.

[0029] Optionally, in some embodiments, referring to Figures 4 to 7 The transmission plate 51, the limit plate 52, and the focusing plate 55 are all slidably connected to the mounting frame 42 through slide rails; the first power component includes multiple groups of first electric push cylinders 541 and second electric push cylinders 542, the first electric push cylinders 541 are fixedly arranged on the mounting frame 42, the output shaft of the first electric push cylinder 541 passes through the mounting frame 42 and is fixedly connected to the transmission plate 51, the second electric push cylinder 542 is fixedly arranged on the transmission plate 51, and the output shaft of the second electric push cylinder 542 is fixedly connected to the end of the clamping jaw 43 away from the clamping port 431.

[0030] With such arrangement, the first electric push cylinder 541 can drive the transmission plate 51 to move upward, thereby controlling the synchronous movement of the transmission plate 51, the limit plate 52, the closing plate 55, the second electric push cylinder 542 and the clamp 43; the second electric push cylinder 542 can drive the clamp 43 to move relative to the transmission plate 51, the limit plate 52 and the closing plate 55.

[0031] 5 Optionally, in some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 6The feeding mechanism includes a first vibration disk 31, a first feeding guide rail 32, a power assembly, a first discharge plate 34 and a feeding assembly. The first vibration disk 31 is arranged on the base 1, and the first discharge plate 34 is slidably arranged on the base 1. A plurality of first discharge grooves 341 are provided on the first discharge plate 34. The number of the first discharge grooves 341 is equal to the number of the clamps 43, and the spacing between adjacent first discharge grooves 341 is equal to the spacing between adjacent clamps 43. One end of the first feeding guide rail 32 is docked with the discharge port of the first vibration disk 31, and the other end of the first feeding guide rail 32 is docked with a first discharge groove 341. The power assembly is used to control the movement of the first discharge plate 34 so that each first discharge groove 341 is docked with the first feeding guide rail 32 in turn. The feeding assembly is used to cooperate with the power assembly to deliver the buckles 22 transported by the first feeding guide rail 32 into the first discharge groove 341 one by one.

[0032] With such arrangement, before the equipment works, the staff can put the buckle 22 into the first vibration plate 31. After the equipment is started, the first vibration plate 31 adjusts the position of the buckle 22 and feeds it one by one into the first feeding guide rail 32. After the feeding mechanism feeds a buckle 22 into the first discharge trough 341, the power component controls the first discharge plate 34 to move, so that the next first discharge trough 341 is docked with the first feeding guide rail 32, and then the feeding mechanism feeds another buckle 22 into the first discharge trough 341. The above process is repeated until each buckle 22 is fed into the first discharge trough 341. After all the buckles 22 are placed in the first material discharge trough 341, the power component controls the first material discharge plate 34 to move in the opposite direction to separate the first material discharge plate 34 from the first feeding guide rail 32, and then the mechanical arm 41 controls the installation frame 42 to move so that each clamping jaw 43 faces the buckle 22 inside each first material discharge trough 341, and then controls the clamping jaw 43 to move downward to clamp the buckle 22. After each clamping jaw 43 clamps the buckle 22, the installation arm first controls the clamping jaw 43 to move horizontally to separate each buckle 22 from the first material discharge trough 341, and then the subsequent installation operation can be carried out.

[0033] Optionally, in some embodiments, see Figure 4 and Figure 6 The first unloading plate 34 is slidably connected to the base 1 through a slide rail, and the power assembly includes a first servo motor 331 and a rack 332. The first servo motor 331 is fixedly arranged on the side of the first unloading plate 34 away from the base 1, and the rack 332 is fixedly arranged on the base 1. A transmission tooth is provided on the side of the rack 332 away from the base 1, and the output shaft of the first servo motor 331 is driven by meshing with the rack 332 through a gear.

[0034] With such arrangement, when the power assembly controls the movement of the first unloading plate 34, the output shaft of the first servo motor 331 drives the gear to rotate. Since the rack 332 is fixed on the base 1, the first servo motor 331 pushes the first unloading plate 34 to move along the slide rail under the reaction of the rack 332, thereby realizing the control of the position of the first unloading plate 34.

[0035] Optionally, in some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 3 The feeding assembly includes a baffle 61, a push plate 62, a first rotating shaft 63, a second rotating shaft 64 and a third power member. The first rotating shaft 63 and the second rotating shaft 64 are both rotatably connected to the base 1. The baffle 61 is fixedly set on the first rotating shaft 63, the push plate 62 is fixedly set on the second rotating shaft 64, and the third power member is used to control the first rotating shaft 63 and the second rotating shaft 64 to rotate synchronously.

[0036] With such arrangement, the middle part of the first feeding guide rail 32 is inclined downward from the feeding part to the discharging part. After the staff puts the buckle 22 into the first vibration plate 31 and starts the equipment, the first vibration plate 31 starts to transport the buckle 22 into the first feeding guide rail 32. After the first buckle 22 contacts the baffle 61, the third power member controls the first rotating shaft 63 and the second rotating shaft 64 to rotate synchronously at a certain angle. The first rotating shaft 63 drives the baffle 61 to rotate and separate from the buckle 22 and move to a position where it will not block the buckle 22. The first buckle 22 slides along the first feeding guide rail 32 to the first discharge trough 341 under the action of the first vibration plate 31 and gravity. After the first buckle 22 moves a certain distance, the third power member controls the first rotating shaft 63 and the second rotating shaft 64 to rotate synchronously at a certain angle. The first rotating shaft 63 drives the baffle 61 to rotate and separate from the buckle 22 and move to a position where it will not block the buckle 22. The first and second rotating shafts 63 and 64 are controlled by the component to reverse and return to the initial position, the baffle plate 61 returns to the initial position to block the second buckle 22, and the first buckle 22 continues to slide down to the discharge position of the first feeding guide rail 32, and then the above process is repeated, the push plate 62 rotates to push the first buckle 22 into the first discharge trough 341, the baffle plate 61 separates from the second buckle 22 to make the second buckle 22 slide along the first feeding guide rail 32, and then the push plate 62 and the baffle plate 61 return to the initial position again, the second buckle 22 slides to the discharge position of the first feeding guide rail 32, the baffle plate 61 contacts the third buckle 22 and blocks its sliding, and the above process is continuously repeated to complete the automatic feeding operation of the buckle 22.

[0037] Optionally, in some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 3The third power component includes a second servo motor 71, a first transmission bar 72, a second transmission bar 73 and a third transmission bar 74.

A magnetic block 95 is also fixedly arranged on the twisting cylinder 924 for adsorbing and fixing the screw 96.

[0042] With such arrangement, the equipment can also automatically screw the plastic fastener 2 through the screw driving mechanism; the staff first puts the screw 96 into the second vibration plate 911, and after starting the device, the second vibration plate 911 automatically adjusts the position of the screw 96 and feeds the screw 96 into the second feeding guide rail 912. After the screw 96 enters the second feeding guide rail 912, the threaded portion of the screw 96 is inserted into the guide groove 9121, and the baffle 61 blocks the first screw 96. Then the baffle 61 and the push plate 62 swing simultaneously to separate the baffle 61 from the first screw 96, and the first screw 96 slides down along the second feeding guide rail 912. When the screw 96 slides down, the baffle 61 The push plate 62 swings again simultaneously to make the baffle plate 61 return to the initial position to block the second screw 96, and then the first screw 96 slides into the discharge port of the second feeding guide rail 912, and the baffle plate 61 and the push plate 62 swing again synchronously, and the baffle plate 61 separates from the second screw 96 to make it slide along the second discharge guide rail.

Due to the uncertain angle of the hexagonal body at the head of the screw 96, after one side of the hexagonal body contacts the knob 93, the screw 96 continues to move and the knob 93 pushes the screw 96 to rotate around its axis. After the side of the hexagon in contact with the knob 93 rotates to be parallel to the side of the second feeding trough 9131, this side of the hexagon fits with the side of the second feeding trough 9131, and at the same time, the magnetic strip 94 sucks the hexagon tightly, thereby correcting the position of the screw 96 so that it can smoothly enter the rear section of the second feeding trough 9131; then the push plate 62 continues to push the screw 96, pushing the screw 96 into the bottom of the second feeding trough 9131, so that the screw 96 and the second feeding plate 913 are engaged through the bottom of the second feeding trough 9131, completing the feeding of a single screw 96, and then the baffle 61 and the push plate 62 rotate synchronously. The robot 41 controls the movement of the mounting frame 42 to move the screwing cylinder 924 to the top of the first screw 96. At this time, the engaging groove 9241 is directly opposite to the hexagon of the screw 96. The third electric push cylinder 921 pushes the bracket 922 to move downward. The screwing cylinder 924 moves downward and contacts the hexagon so that the hexagon is inserted into the engaging groove 9241. At the same time, the magnetic block 95 sucks the top of the hexagon. The third electric push cylinder 921 pulls the bracket 922 upward, and the magnetic block 95 pulls the screw 96 out of the second discharge trough 9131.The mechanical arm 41 then moves the mounting frame 42 to align the screw 96 with the threaded hole 23, and the third electric push cylinder 921 pushes the bracket 922 downward, while the stepper motor 923 drives the screwing cylinder 924 to rotate. After the screw 96 contacts the threaded hole 23, the screwing cylinder 924 screws the screw 96 into the threaded hole 23, and then the third electric push cylinder 921 pulls the bracket 922 upward, and the screwing cylinder 924 separates from the screw 96. The stepper motor 923 drives the screwing cylinder 924 to rotate and adjust it to the initial angle; repeat the above process to perform screwing operations on other threaded holes 23. ;
