[0027] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer and more understandable, the following further elaborates on the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Embodiment

[0028] Refer to Figures 1 - 10The shown screw plug and pin automatic feeding and assembling machine includes a frame and a middle shell loading and unloading manipulator. A middle shell loading positioning mechanism 1 and an assembling bracket 2 are arranged on the frame. The middle shell loading positioning mechanism 1 includes a feeding translation mechanism 101 and a positioning clamping component. The output end of the middle shell loading and unloading mechanism manipulator is fixedly connected with a middle shell transfer mechanism 8. A side pin feeder 9, a vertical pin feeder 10, a screw plug feeder 11, a positioning and locking mechanism 6 and a detection mechanism 7 are sequentially arranged on the frame beside the middle shell loading positioning mechanism 1. A side pin insertion mechanism 3 is arranged beside the side pin feeder 9. A vertical pin insertion mechanism 4 and a screw plug turning and transferring mechanism 5 are arranged on the assembling bracket 2. After being fed by the side pin feeder 9, the side pins are in a vertical state.

[0029] The feeding translation mechanism 101 is used to drive the positioning clamping component to perform a translation action, realize docking feeding with the middle shell loading and unloading manipulator, and drive the positioning clamping component clamped with the middle shell 12 to translate and slide to the assembling station. The positioning clamping component includes a loading slide 102, a positioning seat 103, a first pneumatic chuck 104, a side positioning cylinder 105 and a laser sensor 106. The positioning seat 103 is provided with a positioning groove and a positioning post. The positioning groove and the positioning post are used to position and place the middle shell 12 workpiece. The first pneumatic chuck 104 is used to clamp and fix the middle shell 12 after positioning. Before clamping, the side positioning cylinder 105 is used to drive the side positioning block 107 to press against the straight section of the side wall of the middle shell 12 for angle correction and pressing.

[0030] The side pin insertion mechanism 3 includes a side pin insertion cylinder 301, a side pin insertion slide 302, an elastic slide seat 303, a first spring 304, a rodless cylinder 305, a receiving block 306, a first pressure sensor 307, a pressing rod 308, a second spring 309 and a guide plate 310. When receiving the side pin 13, the rodless cylinder 305 is used to drive the receiving block 306 to move and dock with the side pin feeder 9. The side pin feeder 9 feeds one side pin 13 into the material hole of the receiving block 306 each time. Then, the rodless cylinder 305 is used to drive the receiving block 306 to move to the side of the pressing rod 308. When the side pin insertion cylinder 301 is used to drive the side pin insertion slide 302 to slide towards the middle shell 12, after the material hole on the guide plate 310 is docked with the corresponding hole position on the middle shell 12, the elastic slide seat 303 will move closer to the side pin insertion slide 302. During this process, the side pin 13 is pressed through the material hole on the guide plate 310 from the receiving block 306 and pressed onto the middle shell 12 to realize the assembly of the side pin. The first pressure sensor 307 is used to monitor the pressure during the assembly of the side pin 13.

[0031] The vertical pin inserting mechanism 4 includes an XYZ moving module 401, a vertical pin inserting base 402, a material taking rod 403, a pressing column 404 and a second pressure sensor 405. The XYZ moving module 401 is used to drive the material taking rod 403 to move to the discharging end of the vertical pin feeder 10 to pick up the vertical pins 14. When picking up the pins, the upper end of the pin 14 is inserted into the material taking hole of the material taking rod 403, and the elastic plunger is used to tightly hold the pin 14 in the material taking hole. The second pressure sensor 405 is used to monitor the pressure data during the assembly of the pin 14.

[0032] The threaded plug turning and transferring mechanism 5 includes an XY moving module 501, a rotary cylinder 502 and a material taking jaw cylinder 503. The XY moving module 501 is fixedly connected to the assembly bracket 2. The XY moving module 501 can drive the rotary cylinder 502 to perform translation and lifting movements. The rotary cylinder 502 is used to drive the material taking jaw cylinder 503 to perform a rotary movement. The material taking jaw cylinder 503 is used to pick up the threaded plug 15.

[0033] The alignment and locking mechanism 6 includes a locking translation mechanism 601, a screw automatic locking mechanism 602 and a screwdriver bit 603 fixed to the rotating end of the screw automatic locking mechanism 602. The screwdriver bit 603 has magnetism. After the threaded plug 15 is transferred to the screwdriver bit 603, it is adsorbed by magnetism to prevent the threaded plug 15 from falling during the moving and assembling process.

[0034] The detection mechanism 7 includes a vision detection component 701 and a distance detection component 702. The vision detection component 701 is used to perform a vision inspection on the middle shell 12 to check for surface defects and missing installed parts. The distance detection component 702 is used to detect whether the threaded plug 15 is installed in place.

[0035] The middle shell transfer mechanism 8 includes a transfer base 801, a second pneumatic chuck 802 and a rotary jaw cylinder 803. The transfer base 801 is fixed to the output end of the middle shell loading and unloading manipulator for use. The second pneumatic chuck 802 and the rotary jaw cylinder 803 are used to clamp and position the middle shell 12 workpiece.

[0036] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: When the present invention is in use, the materials to be assembled are driven by the middle shell loading and unloading manipulator to drive the middle shell transfer mechanism 8 to load the middle shell 12 onto the positioning seat 103 of the middle shell loading positioning mechanism 1. After the middle shell 12 to be processed is loaded onto the positioning seat 103, the side positioning cylinder 105 is used to drive the side positioning block 107 to tightly hold the middle shell from the side, and the first pneumatic chuck 104 is used to clamp the edge of the middle shell. After the positioning and clamping of the middle shell are completed, the loaded material slide 102 is driven by the loading translation mechanism 101 to move to the assembly station;

[0037] When assembling the side pins, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5, when receiving the side pins 13, the rodless cylinder 305 drives the receiving block 306 to move and dock with the side pin feeder 9. Each time, the side pin feeder 9 feeds one side pin 13 into the material hole of the receiving block 306. Then, the rodless cylinder 305 drives the receiving block 306 to move to the side of the pressing rod 308. The side pin inserting cylinder 301 drives the side pin inserting slide 302 to slide towards the middle shell 12. After the material hole on the guiding plate 310 is docked with the corresponding hole position on the middle shell 12, the elastic sliding seat 303 moves closer to the side pin inserting slide 302. During this process, the pressing rod 308 located in the elastic sliding seat 303 pushes the side pin 13 to pass through the material hole on the guiding plate 310 and press-fit it into the corresponding hole groove of the middle shell 12 to complete the assembly of the side pin 13. The first pressure sensor 307 is used to monitor the pressure data during the assembly of the side pin 13, and it determines whether the side pin 13 is installed in place based on the pressure data.

[0038] When assembling the vertical pins, refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the vertical pin feeder 10 feeds the vertical pins 14. The XYZ moving module 401 drives the picking rod 403 to move to the discharging end of the vertical pin feeder 10 to pick up the vertically placed vertical pins 14. When picking up the pins, the upper end of the vertical pin 14 is inserted into the picking hole of the picking rod 403, and the vertical pin 14 is tightly held in the picking hole by the elastic plunger. After completing the picking of the vertical pin 14, the XYZ moving module 401 drives the picking rod 403 to move vertically downward above the middle shell 12 to insert the vertical pin 14 into the through hole on the upper end face of the middle shell 12. During the assembly process, the second pressure sensor 405 is used to monitor the pressure data during the assembly of the vertical pin 14, and it determines whether the vertical pin 14 is installed in place based on the pressure data.

[0039] When assembling the threaded plug 15, refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9, the XY moving module 501 drives the rotating cylinder 502 and the material taking claw cylinder 503 to move to the discharge end of the thread plug feeder 11 to clamp the thread plug 15 and then transfer it to the side of the alignment locking mechanism 6, and then the rotating cylinder 502 drives the material taking claw cylinder 503 to rotate 90°, so that the side of the thread plug 15 with the hexagonal hole faces the batch head 603. At this time, the thread plug 15 is in a clamped state, and the screw automatic locking mechanism 602 is driven to slide toward the middle shell 12 through the locking translation mechanism 601. In this process, the screw is automatically locked. Mechanism 602 drives the screwdriver bit 603 to rotate. During the translation process of the screwdriver bit 603, the screwdriver bit 603 is inserted into the hexagonal hole of the threaded plug 15 to complete automatic alignment. The material picking clamp cylinder 503 stops clamping the threaded plug 15. Under the magnetic adsorption of the screwdriver bit 603, the threaded plug 15 rotates and translates with the screwdriver bit 603 until the threaded plug 5 is docked with the screw hole on the side wall of the middle shell 12 for locking and fixing. After the processing is completed, the automatic screw locking mechanism 602 stops rotating, and the locking translation mechanism 601 drives the automatic screw locking mechanism 602 to reset.

[0040] After all the assemblies are completed, the laser sensor 106 is used to detect whether the vertical pin 14 and the side pin 13 are inserted into the middle shell. The loading translation mechanism 101 drives the loading slide 102 to move to the loading and unloading station. The visual inspection component 701 is used to visually inspect the middle shell 12 to see if there are surface defects and missing installed parts. The distance detection component 702 is used to detect whether the distance between the threaded plug 15 and the distance detection component 702 is within the qualified range. After the inspection is completed, the first pneumatic clamp 104 and the side positioning cylinder 105 are released, and the middle shell loading and unloading robot drives the middle shell transfer mechanism 8 to unload the processed finished product of the middle shell 12 from the positioning seat 103 of the middle shell loading and positioning mechanism 1.
