[0017] The following will disclose multiple embodiments of the present invention in the form of drawings. For the sake of clarity, many practical details will be described together in the following narrative. However, it should be understood that these practical details are not used to limit the present invention. That is to say, in some embodiments of the present invention, these practical details are not necessary. In addition, for the purpose of simplifying the drawings, some well-known and commonly used structures and components will be shown in a simple schematic manner in the drawings

[0018] In addition, in the present invention, descriptions such as "first" and "second" are only for descriptive purposes, and do not particularly refer to the order or sequence, nor are they used to limit the present invention. They are merely used to distinguish components or operations described with the same technical terms, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one such feature. In addition, the technical solutions between various embodiments can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the ability of those of ordinary skill in the art to implement. When the combination of technical solutions results in contradictions or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.

[0019] See Figure 1 and 2 , this embodiment provides a touch spring automatic assembly device, which is composed of a loading and assembly mechanism 100, a chip feeding mechanism 200, a spring feeding mechanism 300, a vision inspection mechanism 400, a good product discharging mechanism 500, a defective product discharging mechanism 600, and a packaging mechanism 700. Among them, the loading and assembly mechanism 100, the chip feeding mechanism 200, the spring feeding mechanism 300, the vision inspection mechanism 400, the good product discharging mechanism 500, the defective product discharging mechanism 600, and the packaging mechanism 700 are arranged on a machine table 800. The chip feeding mechanism 200, the spring feeding mechanism 300, the vision inspection mechanism 400, the good product discharging mechanism 500, and the defective product discharging mechanism 600 are arranged around the operation path of the loading and assembly mechanism 100, and the packaging mechanism 700 is arranged close to the good product discharging mechanism 500.

[0020] See Figures 3 to 5 , the loading and assembly mechanism 100 includes a loading turntable 110, a rotation driving component (not shown in the figure), and a riveting structure 120. The loading turntable 110 is connected to the output end of the rotation driving component, and the rotation driving component is fixed inside the machine table 800. The loading turntable 110 is provided with a plurality of loading members 111, which are used to carry workpieces, and the plurality of loading members 111 are arranged in rotational symmetry. The riveting structure 120 is arranged on the loading turntable 110 and is used for the riveting process. The rotation driving component drives the loading turntable 110 to drive the loading members 111 to rotate around the Z-axis. The loading members 111 carry materials such as chips and springs, and the riveting structure 120 rivets the connecting feet of the chips on the loading members 111 to the springs.

[0021] Specifically, the middle part of the material-carrying member 111 has a workpiece position 1111, and the workpiece position 1111 is adapted to the base of the patch. The workpiece position 1111 is a groove structure, and its shape matches the outer contour of the patch base, enabling the patch to be stably placed on the material-carrying member 111 and preventing displacement during the assembly process. In addition, the material-carrying member 111 also has a negative pressure channel 1112, which is connected to the workpiece position 1111, and the patch is fixed in the workpiece position 1111 by negative pressure adsorption of the base.

[0022] Furthermore, the riveting structure 120 includes a riveting assembly 121 and a riveting driving member (not shown in the figure). The riveting driving member is installed in the machine table 800, and the riveting assembly 121 is driven by the riveting driving member to push the connecting feet to achieve riveting. Among them, the number of the riveting assemblies 121 is the same as the number of the connecting feet, and the arrangement of the riveting assemblies 121 corresponds to the arrangement of the connecting feet on the patch.

[0023] Furthermore, a single riveting assembly 121 includes a riveting seat 1211, a riveting execution member 1212, and a riveting transmission member 1213. The riveting seat 1211 is fixed on the material-carrying member 111. The riveting execution member 1212 is movably inserted into the riveting channel of the riveting seat 1211. The riveting transmission member 1213 has a slantingly arranged movement track 12131. The movement connection part 12121 of the riveting execution member 1212 is movably inserted into the movement track 12131, and the movement connection part 12121 moves along the movement track 12131. The riveting transmission member 1213 is connected to the riveting driving member through a riveting linkage member. Among them, the riveting execution member 1212 and the riveting transmission member 1213 are arranged perpendicular to each other. The riveting driving member drives the riveting linkage member to drive the riveting transmission member 1213 to move in the Z-axis direction. Since the movement connection part 12121 moves along the movement track 12131, the riveting execution member 1212 is driven to extend towards the center of the workpiece position 1111 or retract in the reverse direction, and the connecting feet of the patch are pushed during the extension process of the riveting execution member 1212, so that the connecting feet are riveted on the spring.

[0024] See Figure 3 、 6 As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the patch loading mechanism 200 includes a patch loading carrier 210, a patch transfer assembly 220, a patch separation assembly 230, and a patch transfer component 240. The patch loading carrier 210 carries the patch tape. The patch transfer assembly 220 moves the patch tape on the patch loading carrier 210. The patch separation assembly 230 separates independent patches from the patch tape. The patch transfer component 240 transfers the independent patches to the material-carrying member 111.

[0025] Specifically, the chip feeding platform 210 has an open chip feeding channel 211. The chip feeding channel 211 is arranged along the X-axis direction, and one end of the chip feeding channel 211 close to the material loading turntable 110 is its discharging end. In this embodiment, the chip feeding platform 210 is further provided with a chip blocking member 212. The chip blocking member 212 is arranged above the chip feeding channel 211 to prevent the chip tape from warping through the chip blocking member 212. The chip feeding platform 210 is further provided with a chip cleaning assembly 213. The chip cleaning assembly 213 includes two groups of brushes arranged vertically. The chip feeding channel 211 passes between the two groups of brushes. When the chip tape passes through the two groups of brushes, surface impurities are removed. The brushes are made of antistatic materials, which can effectively remove dust and static electricity on the chip surface and improve the assembly quality. The distance between the two groups of brushes is adjustable to adapt to chip tapes of different thicknesses.

[0026] Further, the chip transferring assembly 220 is arranged close to the discharging end of the chip feeding channel 211. The chip transferring assembly 220 includes a first chip transferring driving member (not shown in the figure), a second chip transferring driving member 221, and a chip inserting member 222. The first chip transferring driving member is installed in the machine table 800. The second chip transferring driving member 221 is connected to the output end of the first chip transferring driving member through a chip transferring connecting seat. The chip inserting member 222 is connected to the output end of the second chip transferring driving member 221. Among them, the first chip transferring driving member provides movement in the X-axis direction, the second chip transferring driving member 221 provides movement in the Z-axis direction, and the chip transferring connecting seat is slidably connected to the side of the chip feeding platform 210 along the X-axis direction; the chip inserting member 222 is a needle-like structure, and the number of the chip inserting members 222 is preferably more than two. In specific applications: first, the second chip transferring driving member 221 drives the chip inserting member 222 to move in the Z-axis direction so that the chip inserting member 222 is inserted into the positioning holes on the chip tape. Then, the first chip transferring driving member drives the second chip transferring driving member 221 to drive the chip inserting member 222 to move in the X-axis direction to drive the chip tape to move along the chip feeding channel 211 towards the material loading turntable 110; subsequently, the second chip transferring driving member 221 drives the chip inserting member 222 to retract to disengage from the chip tape, and then the first chip transferring driving member drives the second chip transferring driving member 221 to drive the chip inserting member 222 to move in the reverse direction to make the chip transferring assembly 220 retract to the initial state, and then perform the next transferring action.

[0027] Further, the chip separation assembly 230 is arranged near the discharge end of the chip loading channel 211. The chip separation assembly 230 includes a chip pressing member 231, a chip punching cutter head 232, and a chip punching driving member (not shown in the figure). The chip pressing member 231 is connected to the output end of the second chip transfer driving member 221. The chip punching cutter head 232 is connected to the output end of the chip punching driving member. The chip punching driving member is installed in the machine table 800, and the chip punching driving member provides movement in the Z-axis direction. In specific applications, when the chip transfer assembly 220 moves the chip tape along the chip loading channel 211 towards the loading turntable 110, at this time, the chip pressing member 231 will simultaneously press against the front chip. The chip punching driving member drives the chip punching cutter head 232 to punch off the connecting piece at the front end of the chip tape, so that the front chip is independently separated. Thereafter, the chip punching driving member drives the chip punching cutter head 232 to retract, and the chip transfer assembly 220 and the chip pressing member 231 retract, so that the chip transfer assembly 240 can transfer the independently separated chip to the loading member 111.

[0028] Further, the chip transfer assembly 240 includes a chip transfer driving member 241 and a chip transfer executing member 242. The chip transfer driving member 241 is installed on the machine table 800. The chip transfer driving member 241 drives the chip transfer executing member 242 to move on the X-Z plane, that is, to move back and forth between the chip loading channel 211 and the loading turntable 110. The chip transfer executing member 242 grabs the chip by means of negative pressure adsorption.

[0029] See Figure 1 , the spring feeding mechanism 300 includes a spring feeding component (not shown in the figure) and a spring loading component 310. The spring feeding component outputs springs, and the spring loading component 310 transfers the springs to the loading member 111. Among them, the spring feeding component adopts a vibrating disk design, which can automatically arrange the bulk springs into an orderly arrangement and convey them to the designated position. The spring loading component 310 adopts a three-axis linkage mechanism, which can accurately grab a single spring and place it at the designated position of the loading member 111. In specific applications, when the spring loading driving member drives the spring loading executing member to place the spring on the chip on the loading member 111, the riveting and pressing assembly 121 works to rivet the connecting feet on the spring. Subsequently, the riveting and pressing assembly 121 retracts, and the spring loading executing member releases the spring and is driven by the spring loading driving member to retract, preparing for the next spring loading.

[0030] To ensure effective assembly, a chip detection mechanism is also provided between the chip loading mechanism 200 and the spring loading mechanism 300, which is used to detect whether the chip is loaded successfully. When it is detected that there is a chip on the loading member 111, the spring loading mechanism 300 will load the spring, otherwise the spring loading mechanism 300 will continue to wait. The chip detection mechanism generally uses optoelectronics, infrared, etc. for detection.

[0031] Refer to Figure 1 , the detection end of the vision detection mechanism 400 faces the material loading turntable 110, and the vision detection mechanism 400 is used to detect the quality of the finished product. The vision detection mechanism 400 includes a high-resolution industrial camera and an image processing system, which can capture product images during the assembly process in real time and analyze the assembly quality of the product through image algorithms. The detection content includes multiple aspects such as whether the patch position is correct, whether the spring is deformed, and whether the connecting feet are firmly riveted. The detection result is fed back to the blanking mechanism through the control system to determine the destination of the product. If the finished product is qualified, it is blanked by the good product blanking mechanism 500. If the finished product is unqualified, it is blanked by the defective product blanking mechanism 600.

[0032] Refer to Figure 8 , the good product blanking mechanism 500 is arranged between the material loading and assembly mechanism 100 and the packaging mechanism 700. The good product blanking mechanism 500 transfers the qualified finished products on the material loading and assembly mechanism 100 to the packaging mechanism 700. The good product blanking mechanism 500 includes a good product blanking driving part 510, a good product flipping transmission part 520 and a good product blanking clamping part 530. The good product blanking driving part 510 is arranged on the good product blanking mounting seat 540. The output end of the good product blanking driving part 510 is connected with a good product blanking connecting plate 550 that can slide up and down. The good product blanking clamping part 530 is rotatably installed on the good product blanking connecting plate 550. The first end of the good product flipping transmission part 520 is hinged on the good product blanking mounting seat 540, and the second end of the good product flipping transmission part 520 is hinged on the good product blanking connecting plate 550. And the second end of the good product flipping transmission part 520 is meshed with the good product blanking clamping part 530 through a gear. In specific application, the good product blanking driving part 510 drives the good product blanking connecting plate 550 to drive the good product blanking clamping part 530 to move in the X-axis direction. Due to the limitation of the good product flipping transmission part 520, the good product blanking clamping part 530 will be flipped around the Y-axis during the process, so as to drive the clamped finished product to be flipped, so as to adjust the posture of the finished product when it is placed in the carrier tape and make the patch face up.

[0033] Refer to Figure 1 , the defective product blanking mechanism 600 is used to transfer and blank the unqualified finished products on the material loading and assembly mechanism 100. The defective product blanking mechanism 600 includes a defective product blanking driving part 610 and a defective product blanking clamping part 620. The defective product blanking driving part 610 is installed on the machine table 800. The defective product blanking driving part 610 drives the defective product blanking clamping part 620 to move in the X-Z plane. The defective product blanking clamping part 620 clamps the defective finished products and centrally blanks the unqualified finished products.

[0034] The packaging mechanism 700 in this embodiment adopts the prior art and will not be elaborated in detail below. The packaging mechanism 700 includes a packaging feeding component 710, a packaging material-carrying component 720, a packaging film-covering component 730, and a packaging material-collecting component 740. The packaging feeding component 710 is used for feeding the carrier tape. After feeding, the carrier tape is transported on the packaging material-carrying component 720. Qualified finished products are sequentially placed on the carrier tape. Subsequently, the packaging film-covering component 730 covers the carrier tape with a film, and finally, the carrier tape is collected through the packaging material-collecting component 740.

[0035] The working process of the entire touch spring automatic assembly device is as follows: First, the chip feeding mechanism 200 separates the chips from the chip carrier tape and places the chips on the loading part 111 of the loading turntable 110 through the chip transfer component 240; at the same time, the spring feeding mechanism 300 moves the springs output by the spring feeding component to the loading part 111 and positions them in cooperation with the chips; then, the loading turntable 110 rotates to the riveting station, and the riveting structure 120 rivets the connecting feet of the chips onto the springs to complete the assembly; next, the loading turntable 110 continues to rotate to the vision inspection station, and the vision inspection mechanism 400 inspects the quality of the assembled products; according to the inspection results, the qualified products are transferred by the good product unloading mechanism 500 to the packaging mechanism 700 for packaging, and the unqualified products are transferred and unloaded by the defective product unloading mechanism 600; finally, the packaging mechanism 700 orderly places the qualified products into the carrier tape and completes the entire packaging process through film covering and material collection.

[0036] In summary, through the setting of the loading and assembly mechanism, chip feeding mechanism, spring feeding mechanism, vision inspection mechanism, good product unloading mechanism, defective product unloading mechanism, and packaging mechanism, the touch spring automatic assembly device realizes the automated operations of a series of processes such as chip feeding, spring feeding, spring-chip assembly, finished product inspection, finished product unloading, and packaging, greatly improving the production efficiency and meeting the requirements of mass production; by using the riveting structure to rivet the connecting feet of the chips onto the springs, it ensures the assembly accuracy and firmness, avoids the problem of misalignment between the spring and the connection position caused by manual operation, effectively prevents poor contact or electrical performance fluctuations, and extends the service life of the product; through the vision inspection mechanism to monitor the assembly quality in real time, it can promptly detect and remove unqualified products, ensuring the consistency and reliability of product quality; the entire assembly process realizes fully automated operation, significantly reducing the labor input and lowering the production cost.
