[0002] During the manufacturing process of the wiper motor, the fastener needs to be installed on the door latch of the wiper motor. Before the fastener is inserted into the fastening position of the door latch, the fastening part of the fastener needs to be pried open to deform it so that the fastening part of the fastener can be smoothly inserted into the fastening position, and then the deformation of the fastening part is restored after the insertion is completed, and the fastening part will not withdraw from the fastening position.

The amount of manual force cannot be controlled, which may damage the latch, and the degree of standardization is low; 3. Although there are some automated latch assembly mechanisms in the prior art, due to the compact latch assembly space, traditional multi-power assembly mechanisms cannot be arranged.

[0044] The features and exemplary embodiments of various aspects of the present application will be described in detail below. In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only intended to explain the present application, rather than to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application can be implemented without the need for some of these specific details. The following description of the embodiments is merely to provide a better understanding of the present application by illustrating the examples of the present application.

[0045] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as first and second, etc., are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "comprises," "comprising," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article, or device comprising a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or device. In the absence of further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising..." does not exclude the presence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article, or device comprising the element.

[0046] Example 1:

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, the present embodiment discloses an assembly device and an assembly method for a snap fastener for a motor. The snap fastener 300 of the present embodiment specifically refers to the snap fastener in the prior art. The assembly device of the present embodiment can also be used to assemble the snap fastener 300 to a structure other than a motor, and the present embodiment does not limit this. In order to facilitate understanding of the technical solution of the present embodiment, the structure of the snap fastener 300 is introduced as follows. The snap fastener 300 includes a snap fastener portion 310, a semicircular main body portion 320, and a handle portion 330 that are connected in sequence. When assembling the snap fastener 300 to the workpiece 400, it is necessary to align the snap fastener portion 310 of the snap fastener 300 with the snap fastener position 410 on the workpiece 400. Therefore, it is necessary to apply force to the snap fastener portion 310 to cause it to deform ( Figure 1 The middle dotted line indicates the shape of the buckle part before deformation), so that it can be smoothly inserted into the buckle position 410. After the force on the buckle part 310 is removed, the buckle part 310 recovers its deformation and is stably connected to the buckle position 410. The front end of the buckle part 310 has a guiding slope, and the function of the guiding slope is to facilitate the smooth introduction of the buckle part into the buckle position.

[0048] like Figure 2 As shown, the assembly equipment of this embodiment can realize the automatic assembly of the fastener 300 onto the workpiece 400, and the assembly equipment includes a mounting assembly 100 and a frame assembly 200;

[0049] like Figure 3 As shown, the mounting assembly 100 includes a structural member 110, a sliding plate 120, a first linear drive mechanism 130, a mounting member 140, a shift block 150 and a second linear drive mechanism; Figure 3 As shown, the second linear drive mechanism 160A is the second linear drive mechanism of Example 1, the sliding plate 120 is connected to the structural member 110 in a sliding manner along the first direction; the first linear drive mechanism 130 is connected to the sliding plate 120, and is used to drive the sliding plate 120 to move in the first direction; the mounting member 140 is connected to the sliding plate 120, and the fastener 300 to be installed is arranged on the mounting member 140; the first end of the shift block 150 is hinged to the mounting member 140, and the second end of the shift block 150 is movably connected to the second linear drive mechanism, and the third end of the shift block 150 is provided with a pushing portion 151 for pushing the fastener 300 to deform; the second linear drive mechanism is arranged on the sliding plate 120, and the action end of the second linear drive mechanism is movably connected to the second end of the shift block 150, and the driving direction of the second linear drive mechanism is configured as the first direction.

[0050] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the structural member 110 is used to provide installation positions and assembly positions for various components of the installation assembly 100, and the shape of the structural member 110 is configured as a rectangular plate.

[0051] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the sliding plate 120 is slidably connected to the structural member 110, the sliding direction of the sliding plate 120 is configured as a first direction, and the sliding plate 120 is slidably connected to the structural member 110 through a first slide rail assembly.

[0052] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the first linear drive mechanism 130 is connected to the structural member 110, and the first linear mechanism is located on the side of the sliding plate 120 away from the mounting member 140. The action end of the first linear drive mechanism 130 is connected to the sliding plate 120, and the sliding plate 120 is driven to slide linearly in the first direction by the first linear drive mechanism 130. In this embodiment, the first linear drive mechanism 130 includes a first telescopic member 131, which is connected to the structural member 110. The action end of the first telescopic member 131 is connected to the sliding plate 120. The telescopic direction of the first telescopic member 131 is configured to be the first direction. The telescopic movement of the first telescopic member 131 drives the sliding plate 120 to slide linearly in the first direction. In this embodiment, the first telescopic member 131 includes a component with linear drive capability, such as a telescopic cylinder or an electric push rod.

[0053] In this embodiment, the first direction and the second direction intersect perpendicularly, and the second direction is preferably a height direction. In some other embodiments, the first telescopic member 131 can be an existing motor screw structure or a linear module structure.

[0054] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the mounting member 140 is detachably connected to the sliding plate 120. The detachable connection facilitates replacement of the mounting member 140 with different types of fasteners 300. In this embodiment, the fastener 300 to be installed is disposed on the mounting member 140, and the fastener 300 and the mounting member 140 are connected in a manner that allows the fastener 300 to be detached from the mounting member 140 after installation.

[0055] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a connection method between the fastener 300 and the mounting member 140 is: the fastener 300 is provided with interconnected contour grooves 140a and positioning grooves 140b in sequence along the first direction; the fastener 300 to be installed is arranged in the contour groove 140a, and the handle portion 330 of the fastener 300 is arranged in the positioning groove 140b, and the positioning groove 140b is used to limit the freedom of rotation of the fastener 300 around the second direction. The depth directions of the profiling groove 140a and the positioning groove 140b of this embodiment are both configured as the second direction. The profiling groove 140a and the positioning groove 140b can be blind grooves or through grooves; in the first direction, the buckle portion 310 of the fastener 300 is located outside the profiling groove 140a, and the outer circumference of the semicircular main body 320 is in contact with the inner circumference of the profiling groove 140a. The profiling groove 140a imitates the outer shape design of the semicircular main body 320 and is used for the installation of the semicircular main body 320, which can limit the movement of the semicircular main body 320 in the horizontal plane. The handle portion 330 of the fastener 300 is arranged in the positioning groove 140b, and the inner circumferential side wall of the positioning groove 140b limits the handle portion 330 from rotating in the second direction, that is, the freedom of the fastener 300 to rotate in the second direction is limited.

[0056] like Figure 4 As shown, the connection method between the fastener 300 and the mounting member 140 in this embodiment limits the horizontal displacement and rotational freedom of the fastener 300, ensuring the stability of the fastener 300 before it is engaged with the engaging position 410. At the same time, after the engagement, the mounting member 140 and the fastener 300 can be separated from each other in the second direction (i.e., the height direction). In some other embodiments, the connection method between the fastener 300 and the mounting member 140 can be a magnetic connection or a suction cup connection. These methods are all feasible and can also meet the requirements of separating the fastener 300 from the mounting member 140 after installation.

[0057] like Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, the shape of the shift block 150 in the second direction is triangular. In the second direction, the shift block 150 is connected to the lower side of the mounting member 140. The three tip positions of the shift block 150 are respectively configured as the first end of the shift block 150, the second end of the shift block 150, and the third end of the shift block 150. The first end of the shift block 150 is hinged to the mounting member 140 so that the shift block 150 can swing in the horizontal plane; the second end of the shift block 150 is movably connected to the second linear drive mechanism, and the third end of the shift block 150 is provided with a pushing portion 151 for pushing the locking member 300 to bend and deform. Figure 7 As shown, the pushing portion 151 extends along the second direction toward the mounting member 140, and the projection of the pushing portion 151 in the third direction overlaps with the buckle portion 310 of the buckle member 300, so that the pushing portion 151 can push the buckle portion 310 to bend and deform ( Figure 7 The middle dotted line shows the shape of the block portion before deformation).

[0058] like Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the second end of the shift block 150 is movably connected to the second linear drive mechanism in the following manner: a waist-shaped hole 152 is provided on the second end of the shift block 150, one end of a connecting pin 153 is disposed in the waist-shaped hole 152, the other end of the connecting pin 153 is connected to the second linear drive mechanism, the width of the waist-shaped hole 152 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the connecting pin 153, for example, the width of the waist-shaped hole 152 is 1.01 to 1.3 times the outer diameter of the connecting pin 153; one end of the connecting pin 153 is inserted into the waist-shaped hole 152 along its axial direction, the other end of the connecting pin 153 is connected to the second linear drive mechanism, and the axial direction of the connecting pin 153 is configured in the second direction. In other embodiments, the second end of the shift block 150 is hingedly connected to the second linear drive mechanism.

[0059] In this embodiment, the second end of the shift block 150 is movably connected to the second linear drive mechanism so that the second linear drive mechanism can smoothly drive the shift block 150 to rotate in the second direction, thereby enabling the pushing portion 151 on the shift block 150 to push the buckle portion 310 to bend and deform.

[0060] like Figure 8 As shown, the driving direction of the second linear drive mechanism is configured as the first direction, the second linear drive mechanism includes a second telescopic member, the second telescopic member includes an actuator with linear driving capability such as a telescopic cylinder or an electric push rod, the second telescopic member is connected to the sliding plate 120, the telescopic direction of the second telescopic member is configured as the first direction, the action end of the second telescopic member is connected to the connecting pin 153 on the shift block 150, and the telescopic movement of the second telescopic member drives the pushing part 151 on the shift block 150 to rotate and push the buckle part 310 to deform.

[0061] like Figure 1 and Figure 8As shown, the rack assembly 200 is connected to the structural member 110 of the mounting assembly 100, and the rack assembly 200 is used to drive the structural member 110 to move in the second direction, wherein the first direction, the second direction and the third direction intersect, preferably the first direction, the second direction and the third direction intersect vertically, and the second direction is configured as a height direction.

[0062] like Figure 8 As shown, the frame assembly 200 includes a stand 210 and a third driving mechanism for driving the structural member 110 to move in the second direction, as shown in FIG. Figure 8 As shown, the third driving mechanism 220A is the third driving mechanism of the first embodiment; the third driving mechanism is arranged on the stand 210, and the action end of the third driving mechanism is connected to the structural member 110 which is slidably connected to the stand 210. The structural member 110 is slidably connected to the stand 210 through the second slide rail assembly, and the structural member 110 is driven to move in the second direction by the third driving mechanism.

[0063] The third drive mechanism of this embodiment includes a motor-screw mechanism, a telescopic drive mechanism, or a linear module mechanism. If the third drive mechanism includes a motor-screw mechanism, the screw slider of the motor-screw mechanism is connected to the structural member 110. If the third drive mechanism includes a telescopic drive mechanism, the action end of the telescopic drive mechanism is connected to the structural member 110. If the third drive mechanism includes a linear module mechanism, the module slider of the linear module mechanism is connected to the structural member 110. The motor-screw mechanism, the telescopic drive mechanism, or the linear module mechanism drives the structural member 110 to move in the second direction.

[0064] In this embodiment, after the latch 300 is engaged with the workpiece 400, the third drive mechanism drives the entire mounting assembly 100 downward in the second direction, so that the mounting member 140 of the mounting assembly 100 and the push portion 151 on the shift block 150 move downward and disengage from the latch 300. The first linear drive mechanism 130, the second linear drive mechanism, and the third drive mechanism can be directly or indirectly connected in communication, thereby enabling the three to work in coordination according to a predetermined program.

[0065] like Figure 9 As shown, the first embodiment also discloses an assembly method for a motor fastener, using an assembly device for a motor fastener. The assembly method includes:

[0066] Step S100: placing the workpiece 400 at an assembly position, and setting the fastener 300 to be installed on the mounting member 140;

[0067] Step S200: First, the first linear drive mechanism 130 drives the sliding plate 120, the mounting member 140, and the locking member 300 to move in the first direction and approach the workpiece 400. Then, the second linear drive mechanism drives the shift block 150 to rotate, so that the pushing portion 151 of the shift block 150 contacts the locking member 300 and pushes the locking portion 310 to bend and deform. The locking portion 310 bends and deforms and aligns with the locking position 410 on the workpiece 400. Then, the second linear drive mechanism stops driving the shift block 150 to rotate, and the locking portion 310 remains unchanged under the restraint of the pushing portion 151.

[0068] In step S300 , the first linear drive mechanism 130 drives the sliding plate 120 , the mounting member 140 , and the locking member 300 toward the workpiece 400 in a first direction, and inserts the locking portion 310 into the locking position 410 .

[0069] In step S400, the frame assembly 200 drives the mounting assembly 100 to move in the second direction so that the pushing portion 151 of the mounting assembly 100 is out of contact with the latch 300 in the second direction, and then the mounting assembly 100 performs a reset movement away from the workpiece 400 in the first direction, and the installation of the latch 300 is completed.

[0070] In step S100, a robot or a human operator places the workpiece 400 in the assembly position. The workpiece 400 is fixed in the assembly position and cannot move or rotate. The workpiece 400 and the sliding plate 120 are aligned in the first direction. The fastener 300 to be installed can be installed on the mounting member 140 using a robot or an existing pickup mechanism. The fastener portion 310 of the fastener 300 is at the same height as the fastener position 410 of the workpiece.

[0071] In step S200, when the latch portion 310 and the latch position 410 are at a predetermined distance in the first direction (the predetermined distance is selected based on actual conditions), the second linear drive mechanism drives the shift block 150 to rotate in the second direction, so that the push portion 151 on the shift block 150 pushes the latch portion 310 to bend and deform. After the deformed latch portion 310 is aligned with the latch position 410, the second linear drive mechanism stops driving the shift block 150 to rotate, so that the latch portion 310 maintains its deformed posture.

[0072] In step S300 , after the deformed latch portion 310 is aligned with the latch position 410 , the first linear drive mechanism 130 drives the sliding plate 120 , the mounting member 140 , and the latch member 300 toward the workpiece 400 in the first direction until the latch portion 310 is inserted into the latch position 410 along the first direction.

[0073] In the above step S400, the third driving mechanism of the frame assembly 200 drives the installation assembly 100 to move in the second direction, so that the shift block 150 and the pushing portion 151 move away from the latch 300 along the second direction, thereby causing the shift block 150 and the pushing portion 151 to break away from the latch 300.

[0074] Example 2:

[0075] The difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment is that the second linear drive mechanism of the second embodiment is different from the second linear drive mechanism of the first embodiment. Figure 10 As shown, the second linear drive mechanism 160B is the second linear drive mechanism of the second embodiment.

[0076] like Figure 11 As shown, the second linear drive mechanism 2 160B of the second embodiment includes a first guide block 161, a sliding rod 162, a first drive block assembly 163, a second guide block 164, a sliding assembly 165, a second drive block 166 and a first elastic member 167; the first guide block 161 is set on the mounting member 140 or the sliding plate 120, and the sliding rod 162 is slidably connected to the first guide block 161. The first guide block 161 is used to realize the sliding guidance of the sliding rod 162 in the first direction; one end of the sliding rod 162 is connected to the connecting member The pin 153 is connected, and the other end of the sliding rod 162 is connected to the first driving block assembly 163; the first driving block assembly 163 is slidably connected to the sliding plate 120 along the first direction; the second guide block 164 is provided on the sliding plate 120; the sliding assembly 165 is slidably connected to the second guide block 164 along the third direction; the second driving block 166 is provided on the structural member 110; the two ends of the first elastic member 167 are respectively connected to the first driving block assembly 163 and the sliding plate 120, and the expansion and contraction direction of the first elastic member 167 is configured in the first direction;

[0077] like Figure 12 As shown, the first driving block assembly 163 is provided with a first inclined surface 1631 for contacting the sliding assembly 165, and the second driving block 166 is provided with a second inclined surface 1661 for contacting the sliding assembly 165. When the sliding assembly 165 contacts the first inclined surface 1631 or the second inclined surface 1661 in the first direction and moves relative to each other, the sliding assembly 165 slides in the third direction.

[0078] In the second embodiment, the first inclined surface 1631 and the second inclined surface 1661 are both parallel to the second direction, and both the first inclined surface 1631 and the second inclined surface 1661 have an angle with the first direction. In the second embodiment, preferably, the first angle (labeled as θ1) formed by the first inclined surface 1631 and the first direction is less than ninety degrees, for example, 60 degrees to 80 degrees, and the second angle (labeled as θ2) formed by the second inclined surface 1661 and the first direction is greater than ninety degrees, for example, 110 degrees to 120 degrees. In the second embodiment, the first angle and the second angle are preferably complementary angles.

[0079] like Figure 12 As shown, when the first linear drive mechanism 130 drives the sliding plate 120 to move in the first direction toward the workpiece 400, one end of the sliding component 165 contacts the second inclined surface 1661 and moves relative to it. The slope design of the second inclined surface 1661 makes the sliding component 165 move toward the first inclined surface 1631 in the third direction, thereby making one end of the sliding component 165 contact the first inclined surface 1631 and move relative to it. Due to the slope design of the first inclined surface 1631, when the sliding component 165 contacts the first inclined surface 1631 of the first driving block assembly 163 and moves relative to it, the sliding component 165 drives the first driving block The assembly 163 moves in a first direction toward the workpiece 400, at which time the first elastic member 167 is gradually compressed. When the first driving block assembly 163 moves toward the workpiece 400, the first driving block assembly 163 drives the sliding rod 162 to slide in the first direction, and the sliding rod 162 thereby pushes the shift block 150 to rotate around the second direction, so that the pushing portion 151 on the shift block 150 pushes the latch portion 310 to bend and deform, so that the latch portion 310 can be smoothly engaged with the latch position 410. When the engagement is completed, the elastic force of the first elastic member 167 drives the first driving block assembly 163 and the sliding assembly 165 to reset.

[0080] In the second embodiment, since the buckle assembly space is compact, the traditional multi-power method cannot be arranged. The second linear drive mechanism 160B of the second embodiment transmits, transforms and controls the power of the first linear drive mechanism 130 through the above-mentioned components, thereby converting it into a linear motion that drives the shift block 150 to rotate, and then realizes the assembly after the buckle part 310 is stretched and deformed at the specified position, so that the buckle part 310 can be smoothly installed into the buckle position 410.

[0081] In the second embodiment, the first guide block 161 is connected to the sliding plate 120 , and the sliding rod 162 passes through the first guide block 161 along the first direction. The first guide block 161 restricts the sliding rod 162 to slide only in the first direction.

[0082] In the second embodiment, one end of the sliding rod 162 is connected to the connecting pin 153 , and the other end of the sliding rod 162 is hinged to the first driving block assembly 163 .

[0083] like Figure 13 As shown, in the second embodiment, the first drive block assembly 163 includes a transition block 1632 and a first drive block 1633; the transition block 1632 is connected to the sliding plate 120 in a sliding manner along the first direction; the first drive block 1633 is connected to the transition block 1632, and a first inclined surface 1631 is provided on the first drive block 1633; the two ends of the first elastic member 167 are respectively connected to the transition block 1632 and the sliding plate 120, and the first elastic member 167 is used to drive the transition block 1632 and the first drive block 1633 to move in a direction away from the mounting member 140 to reset.

[0084] like Figure 13 As shown, in this second embodiment, a transition block 1632 is slidably connected to the sliding plate 120 via a third slide rail assembly. A spring mounting rod 1634 is disposed on one side of the transition block 1632. A first elastic member 167 is configured as a spring and is coaxially sleeved on the spring mounting rod 1634. One end of the first elastic member 167 abuts against the spring mounting rod 1634, while the other end of the first elastic member 167 abuts against a stopper (not shown) provided on the sliding plate 120. The spring mounting rod 1634 slides in a first direction through the stopper. A first drive block 1633 is connected to the transition block 1632, and the other end of the sliding rod 162 is hingedly connected to the first drive block 1633. A first inclined surface 1631 is disposed on the first drive block 1633. Under the action of the first elastic member 167, the first inclined surface 1631 can maintain constant contact with the sliding assembly 165.

[0085] like Figure 13As shown, in this second embodiment, the second guide block 164 is connected to the sliding plate 120, and the sliding assembly 165 passes through the second guide block 164 in the third direction. The second guide block 164 restricts the sliding assembly 165 from sliding in the third direction. In this second embodiment, the sliding assembly 165 includes a slider 1651, a first guide wheel 1652, and a second guide wheel 1653. The slider 1651 is slidably connected to the second guide block 164. The first guide wheel 1652 and the second guide wheel 1653 are spaced apart at opposite ends of the slider 1651 along the third direction. The outer circumference of the first guide wheel 1652 can roll in contact with the first inclined surface 1631, and the outer circumference of the second guide wheel 1653 can roll in contact with the second inclined surface 1661. In the second embodiment, the slider 1651 slides through the second guide block 164 along the third direction, and the slider 1651 can only slide in the third direction. The first guide wheel 1652 and the second guide wheel 1653 are both rotatably mounted on the slider 1651. The outer circumference of the first guide wheel 1652 is always in contact with the first inclined surface 1631, and the outer circumference of the second guide wheel 1653 can be in contact with or out of contact with the second inclined surface 1661. The sliding assembly 165 in the second embodiment uses the guide wheel in rolling contact with the two inclined surfaces to ensure smooth operation of the entire structure and reduce friction and abnormal noise. In addition, the sliding assembly 165 in the second embodiment serves as an intermediate power transmission mechanism between the first linear drive mechanism 130 and the first drive block 1633. It can follow the movement of the first linear drive mechanism 130 and push the shift block 150 to rotate at a predetermined position, thereby causing the latch 300 to deform.

[0086] like Figure 13 As shown, in the second embodiment, the sliding assembly 165 preferably further includes a second elastic member 1654, the two ends of the second elastic member 1654 are respectively connected to the slider 1651 and the second guide block 164, and the telescopic direction of the second elastic member 1654 is configured as a third direction, for achieving close contact between the second guide wheel 1653 and the second inclined surface 1661, wherein the first direction, the second direction and the third direction intersect each other perpendicularly.

[0087] like Figure 14 As shown, when the sliding plate 120 drives the sliding assembly 165 to move along the first direction toward the workpiece 400, the slope design of the second inclined surface 1661 makes the slider 1651 move toward the first inclined surface 1631, so that the second elastic member 1654 is gradually compressed, and the outer peripheral surface of the second guide wheel 1653 is then in close contact with the second inclined surface 1661. When the sliding assembly 165 moves away from the workpiece 400, the elastic force of the second elastic member 1654 drives the slider 1651 to move toward the second inclined surface 1661, so that the first guide wheel 1652 on the slider 1651 slides in relative contact with the first drive block 1633, and the first drive block 1633 is reset to its initial position.

[0088] like Figure 15 As shown, the second embodiment further discloses an assembly method for a motor fastener. The assembly method of the second embodiment uses the assembly equipment of the second embodiment. The assembly method of the second embodiment includes:

[0089] Step S100: placing the workpiece 400 at an assembly position, and setting the fastener 300 to be installed on the mounting member 140;

[0090] Step S200 : The first linear drive mechanism 130 drives the sliding plate 120 , the mounting member 140 , and the locking member 300 to move in a first direction and approach the workpiece 400 .

[0091] Step S200: First, the first linear drive mechanism 130 drives the sliding plate 120, the mounting member 140, and the locking member 300 to move in the first direction and approach the workpiece 400. Then, the second linear drive mechanism 160B drives the shift block 150 to rotate, so that the pushing portion 151 of the shift block 150 contacts the locking member 300 and pushes the locking portion 310 to bend and deform. The locking portion 310 bends and deforms and aligns with the locking position 410 on the workpiece 400. Then, the second linear drive mechanism 160B stops driving the shift block 150 to rotate, and the locking portion 310 remains unchanged under the restraint of the pushing portion 151.

[0092] In step S300 , the first linear drive mechanism 130 drives the sliding plate 120 , the mounting member 140 , and the locking member 300 toward the workpiece 400 in a first direction, and inserts the locking portion 310 into the locking position 410 .

[0093] In step S400, the frame assembly 200 drives the mounting assembly 100 to move in the second direction so that the pushing portion 151 of the mounting assembly 100 is out of contact with the latch 300 in the second direction, and then the mounting assembly 100 performs a reset movement away from the workpiece 400 in the first direction, and the installation of the latch 300 is completed.

[0094] In step S100, a robot or a human operator places the workpiece 400 in the assembly position. The workpiece 400 is fixed in the assembly position and cannot move or rotate. The workpiece 400 and the sliding plate 120 correspond in the first direction. The fastener 300 to be installed can be installed on the mounting member 140 using a robot or an existing pickup mechanism. The fastener portion 310 of the fastener 300 and the fastener position 410 of the workpiece are at the same height in the second direction.

[0095] In the above step S200, the first linear drive mechanism 130 drives the sliding plate 120, the mounting member 140 and the latch member 300 to move in the first direction toward the workpiece 400, and one end of the sliding component 165 contacts the second inclined surface 1661 and moves relative to it. The slope design of the second inclined surface 1661 makes the sliding component 165 move in the third direction toward the first inclined surface 1631, thereby making one end of the sliding component 165 contact the first inclined surface 1631 and move relative to it, and the sliding component 165 contacts the first inclined surface 1631 of the first driving block assembly 163. When the first drive block assembly 163 is in contact and in relative motion with the workpiece 400, the first drive block assembly 163 is driven by the sliding assembly 165 and moves in the first direction toward the workpiece 400. At this time, the first elastic member 167 is gradually compressed. When the first drive block assembly 163 moves toward the workpiece 400, the first drive block assembly 163 drives the sliding rod 162 to slide in the first direction. The sliding rod 162 thereby pushes the shift block 150 to rotate in the second direction, causing the pushing portion 151 on the shift block 150 to push the latch 300 to bend and deform, so that the latch portion 310 can smoothly engage with the latch position 410.

[0096] In the second embodiment, preferably, in the above step S200, Figure 14 As shown, the first linear drive mechanism 130 drives the sliding plate 120 to move along the first direction toward the workpiece 400, and the second guide wheel 1653 of the sliding assembly 165 moves until it contacts the second inclined surface 1661. The second inclined surface 1661 pushes the slider 1651 and the first guide wheel 1652 along the third direction. The first guide wheel 1652 thereby pushes the first inclined surface 1631 of the first driving block 1633, so that the first driving block 1633 pushes the sliding rod 162 to perform linear motion in the first direction. The sliding rod 162 then pushes the shift block 150 to rotate, and the shift block 150 pushes the buckle portion 310 to bend and deform. After the buckle portion 310 is bent and deformed, the second guide wheel 1653 passes over the second inclined surface 1661 and disengages from the second inclined surface 1661. At this time, the sliding rod 162 stops driving the shift block 150 to rotate.

[0097] In the above step S400, when the clamping is completed, the first linear drive mechanism 130 drives the sliding plate 120 to move away from the workpiece 400, and the first elastic member 167 makes the first drive block 1633 have a tendency to perform a reset movement away from the workpiece 400 in the first direction. The first inclined surface 1631 on the first drive block 1633 can push the first guide wheel 1652 to move in the third direction when resetting. At the same time, under the action of the second elastic member 1654, the second guide wheel 1653 contacts and moves relative to the second inclined surface 1661, and gradually disengages from the second inclined surface 1661.

[0098] Example 3:

[0099] The difference between the third embodiment and the first or second embodiment is that the third driving mechanism of the third embodiment is different from the third driving mechanism of the first embodiment. Figure 16 As shown, the third driving mechanism 220B is the third driving mechanism of the third embodiment.

[0100] like Figure 17 As shown, the third driving mechanism 2 220B of the third embodiment includes a third telescopic member 221, a third guide wheel 222 and a track plate 223; the third telescopic member 221 is arranged on the stand 210, and the telescopic direction of the third telescopic member 221 is configured as the third direction; the third guide wheel 222 is coaxially connected to the telescopic end of the third telescopic member 221; the track plate 223 is arranged on the structural member 110 or the sliding plate 120; a track groove 223a is provided on the track plate 223, and the track direction of the track groove 223a is perpendicular to the third direction; when the outer peripheral surface of the third guide wheel 222 contacts the inner wall surface of the track groove 223a and moves relative to each other in the first direction, the track plate 223 and the mounting assembly 100 move in the second direction.

[0101] In this third embodiment, the third telescopic member 221 includes components with linear propulsion capabilities, such as a telescopic cylinder and an electric push rod. A third guide wheel 222 is coaxially and rotatably disposed on the telescopic end of the third telescopic member 221. When the third telescopic member 221 is extended, the third guide wheel 222 can be inserted into the track groove 223a of the track plate 223 along the third direction. When the third telescopic member 221 is retracted, the third guide wheel 222 can be withdrawn from the track groove 223a.

[0102] In the third embodiment, the track plate 223 is arranged on the sliding plate 120, and a track groove 223a that can cooperate with the third guide wheel 222 is provided on the track plate 223. When the latch portion 310 is latched to the latch position 410, the third telescopic member 221 drives the third guide wheel 222 to extend into the track groove 223a. As the first linear drive mechanism 130 drives the sliding plate 120 to move in the second direction away from the workpiece 400, the outer peripheral surface of the third guide wheel 222 rolls in contact with the inner wall surface of the track groove 223a, and the third guide wheel 222 pushes the track plate 223 to move in the second direction away from the latch 300. The sliding plate 120 and the structural member 110 connected to the track plate 223 also move in the second direction following the track plate 223.

[0103] In the third embodiment, the tracking groove 223a and the third guide wheel 222 cooperate to enable the first linear drive mechanism 130 to drive the sliding plate 120 to move in the first direction away from the workpiece 400, while the sliding plate 120 and the structural member 110 as a whole move upward or downward in the second direction, thereby disengaging the shift block 150 and the pushing portion 151 thereon from the latch 300. The third drive mechanism of the third embodiment can follow the movement of the first linear drive mechanism 130, making the movement of the structure more coordinated and controllable, and reducing the number of control components.

[0104] In the third embodiment, the track groove 223a on the track pad 223 includes the following two forms:

[0105] The first one is, Figure 17 As shown, the trajectory groove 223a includes a first slanted groove segment 2231. The trajectory direction of the first slanted groove segment 2231 forms a first predetermined angle (labeled β1) with the first direction. The trajectory direction referred to in this third embodiment is the length direction, so the trajectory direction of the first slanted groove segment 2231 is also the length direction of the first slanted groove segment 2231. The trajectory direction of the first slanted groove segment 2231 and the third direction intersect perpendicularly in the horizontal plane. The first predetermined angle is greater than 90 degrees, and more preferably, the first predetermined angle ranges from 120 degrees to 170 degrees.

[0106] like Figure 18 As shown, it should be noted that: after the latch portion 310 is locked into the latch position 410, the shift block 150 needs to be disengaged from the latch 300 before it can exit and reset, but the upper surface of the workpiece 400 restricts the shift block 150 and the pushing portion 151 set on the shift block 150 from moving downward indefinitely to disengage from the latch 300. At the same time, under certain working conditions, there is an angle greater than zero degrees between the upper surface of the workpiece 400 and the first direction, that is, the upper surface of the workpiece 400 is an inclined surface slanted downward to the right, and the inclined surface allows the shift block 150 and the pushing portion 151 to exit a position far away from the latch position 410. Therefore, how to allow the shift block 150 and the pushing portion 151 to smoothly exit from the space between the latch 300 and the upper surface of the workpiece 400 along a predetermined trajectory is a difficult problem in this field.

[0107] The track groove 223a of the third embodiment includes a first inclined groove section 2231. Since the first inclined groove section 2231 has a first predetermined angle greater than 90 degrees with the first direction, when the track plate 223 and the first inclined groove section 2231 move in a direction away from the workpiece 400 driven by the sliding plate 120, the third guide wheel 222 contacts the inner wall surface of the first inclined groove section 2231 and moves relative to it. Since the position of the third guide wheel 222 in the second direction is fixed, the third guide wheel 222 pushes the track plate 223 and the track plate 223. The indirectly connected shift block 150 moves in the second direction. That is, the shift block 150 and the push portion 151 provided on the shift block 150 simultaneously move in two directions during the process of withdrawing from the latch 300: the first direction and the second direction. Therefore, the movement trajectory of the shift block 150 and the push portion 151 during withdrawal is a straight line diagonally downward and rightward from the perspective of the third direction. Therefore, the shift block 150 and the push portion 151 can gradually withdraw from the space between the latch 300 and the upper surface of the workpiece 400 along the diagonally downward and rightward direction. At the same time, it should be emphasized that the movement in these two directions is linked by a mechanical structure, which reduces the difficulty of control.

[0108] The second is, Figure 17 As shown: the trajectory groove 223a includes a matching segment 2230, a first oblique groove segment 2231, a straight segment 2232 and a second oblique groove segment 2233 connected in sequence along a first direction; the trajectory directions of the matching segment 2230 and the straight segment 2232 are parallel to the first direction; the trajectory direction of the second oblique groove segment 2233 has a second predetermined angle (labeled β2) with the first direction, and the first predetermined angle formed by the first oblique groove segment 2231 and the first direction and the second predetermined angle formed by the second oblique groove segment 2233 are complementary angles.

[0109] like Figure 17 As shown, in the second form of the above-mentioned trajectory groove, the mating section 2230 is configured as an end of the trajectory groove away from the workpiece 400, and the second inclined groove section 2233 is configured as an end of the trajectory groove close to the workpiece 400, and the end of the second inclined groove section 2233 away from the straight section 2232 is configured as an open end, so as to facilitate the third guide wheel 222 to exit the trajectory groove from the open end.

[0110] In the second form of the above track groove, as Figure 19 As shown in (A), when the locking portion 310 is locked in the locking position 410, the third guide wheel 222 extends into the matching section 2230. When the track plate 223 moves away from the workpiece 400 under the drive of the sliding plate 120, since the length direction of the matching section 2230 is parallel to the first direction, the track plate 223 and the mounting assembly 100 will not move downward in the second direction; Figure 19As shown in (B), when the third guide wheel 222 enters the first oblique groove section 2231 of the track groove, at this time, since the first oblique groove section 2231 has a first predetermined angle with the first direction, the track plate 223 and the shift block 150 indirectly connected to the track plate 223 move downward in the second direction under the push of the third guide wheel 222. The working principle here is consistent with the working principle of the first oblique groove section 2231 in the first form mentioned above. The shift block 150 and the pushing portion 151 will move synchronously in the first direction and the second direction, and then withdraw obliquely downward from the space between the latch 300 and the upper surface of the workpiece 400. When the shift block 150 and the pushing portion 151 withdraw from the space between the latch 300 and the upper surface of the workpiece 400; as shown in FIG. Figure 19 As shown in (C), the third guide wheel 222 enters the straight section 2232. At this time, the shift block 150 and the push portion 151 do not move downward in the second direction. At this time, the shift block 150 and the push portion 151 only retreat away from the latch 300 in the first direction; Figure 19 As shown in (D), when the third guide wheel 222 enters the second inclined groove section 2233, since the second inclined groove section 2233 has a second predetermined angle with the first direction, the track plate 223 moves upward in the second direction under the push of the third guide wheel 222, and the shift block 150 and the push part 151 indirectly connected to the track plate 223 also follow and return to the initial height position.

[0111] like Figure 19 As shown, in this embodiment, the movement trajectory of the shift block 150 presents three stages from the perspective of the third direction, namely, the first stage: movement toward the lower right, the second stage: linear movement along the first direction, and the third stage: movement toward the upper right; and since the first predetermined angle and the second predetermined angle of the trajectory groove are complementary angles, in the third stage, the shift block 150 can be reset to the initial height position of the first stage toward the upper right.

[0112] like Figure 20 As shown, the third driving mechanism of the third embodiment also includes a third elastic member 230; the two ends of the third elastic member 230 are respectively connected to the stand 210 and the structural member 110, the telescopic direction of the third elastic member 230 is configured as the second direction, and the third elastic member 230 is used to drive the inner wall surface of the track groove 223a to be in close contact with the outer peripheral surface of the third guide wheel 222; the inner wall surface of the track groove 223a is parallel to the third direction.

[0113] In this third embodiment, the third elastic member 230 has a tendency to drive the structural member 110 and components mounted thereon to move upward in the second direction. In this third embodiment, the inner wall surface of the track groove 223a is parallel to the third direction. The third elastic member 230 (e.g., a spring) drives the inner wall surface of the track groove into close contact with the outer circumference of the third guide wheel 222, enabling the third guide wheel 222 to drive the track plate 223 and the shift block 150 indirectly connected thereto to move in the second direction.

[0114] In the third embodiment, if the track groove 223a on the track plate 223 adopts the first form (that is, only the first inclined groove section 2231), the third elastic member 230 can drive the track plate 223 and the shift block 150 indirectly connected to the track plate 223 to reset upward in the second direction to the initial position height after the third guide wheel 222 exits the first inclined groove section 2231.

[0115] like Figure 21 As shown, the third embodiment further discloses an assembly method for a motor fastener. The assembly method of the third embodiment uses the assembly equipment of the third embodiment. The assembly method of the third embodiment includes:

[0116] Step S100: placing the workpiece 400 at an assembly position, and setting the fastener 300 to be installed on the mounting member 140;

[0117] Step S200 : The first linear drive mechanism 130 drives the sliding plate 120 , the mounting member 140 , and the locking member 300 to move in a first direction and approach the workpiece 400 .

[0118] Step S200: First, the first linear drive mechanism 130 drives the sliding plate 120, the mounting member 140, and the locking member 300 to move in the first direction and approach the workpiece 400. Then, the second linear drive mechanism drives the shift block 150 to rotate, so that the pushing portion 151 of the shift block 150 contacts the locking member 300 and pushes the locking portion 310 to bend and deform. The locking portion 310 bends and deforms and aligns with the locking position 410 on the workpiece 400. Then, the second linear drive mechanism stops driving the shift block 150 to rotate, and the locking portion 310 remains unchanged under the restraint of the pushing portion 151.

[0119] In step S300 , the first linear drive mechanism 130 drives the sliding plate 120 , the mounting member 140 , and the locking member 300 toward the workpiece 400 in a first direction, and inserts the locking portion 310 into the locking position 410 .

[0120] In step S400, the frame assembly 200 drives the mounting assembly 100 to move in the second direction so that the pushing portion 151 of the mounting assembly 100 is out of contact with the latch 300 in the second direction, and then the mounting assembly 100 performs a reset movement away from the workpiece 400 in the first direction, and the installation of the latch 300 is completed.

[0121] In step S100, a robot or a human operator places the workpiece 400 in the assembly position. The workpiece 400 is fixed in the assembly position and cannot move or rotate. The workpiece 400 and the sliding plate 120 are aligned in the first direction. The fastener 300 to be installed can be installed on the mounting member 140 using a robot or an existing pickup mechanism. The fastener portion 310 of the fastener 300 and the fastener position 410 of the workpiece are at the same height in the second direction.

[0122] In the above step S400, when the clamping is completed, the first linear drive mechanism 130 drives the sliding plate 120, the track plate 223, the mounting member 140 and the shift block 150 to move along the first direction away from the workpiece 400, and at the same time the third guide wheel 222 extends into the first inclined groove section 2231, and the third guide wheel 222 contacts the inner wall surface of the first inclined groove section 2231 and moves relative to it, so that the shift block 150 and the pushing part 151 gradually withdraw from the space between the fastener 300 and the upper surface of the workpiece 400 along the oblique lower right direction.

[0123] Among them, since the position of the third guide wheel 222 in the second direction is fixed, the third guide wheel 222 pushes the track plate 223 to move in the second direction, that is, the shift block 150 and the pushing portion 151 set on the shift block 150 move in two directions at the same time during the process of exiting the latch 300, namely the first direction and the second direction. Therefore, the movement trajectory of the shift block 150 and the pushing portion 151 is a straight line obliquely pointing to the lower right from the perspective of the third direction. Therefore, the shift block 150 and the pushing portion 151 gradually exit from the space between the latch 300 and the upper surface of the workpiece 400 along the obliquely pointing to the lower right.

[0124] In the above-mentioned step S400, preferably: after the latching member 300 is locked into the latching position 410, the third guide wheel 222 extends into the mating section 2230 of the track groove 223a, and when the track plate 223 moves in the direction away from the workpiece 400 driven by the sliding plate 120, the shift block 150 moves with the track plate 223, and the shift block 150 moves in three stages, namely, movement toward the lower right, movement in a straight line along the first direction, and movement toward the upper right.

[0125] Among them, since the length direction of the matching section 2230 is parallel to the first direction, the track plate 223 and the installation assembly 100 will not move downward in the second direction when the third guide wheel 222 and the matching section 2230 slide relative to each other. When the third guide wheel 222 enters the first oblique groove section 2231 of the track groove, at this time, since the first oblique groove section 2231 and the first direction have a first predetermined angle, the track plate 223 and the shift block 150 indirectly connected to the track plate 223 move downward in the second direction under the push of the third guide wheel 222. At this time, the shift block 150 and the pushing portion 151 will move synchronously in the first direction and the second direction, and then exit obliquely downward from the space between the latch 300 and the upper surface of the workpiece 400. When the shift block 150 and the pushing portion 151 withdraw from the space between the latch 300 and the upper surface of the workpiece 400, and the third guide wheel 222 enters the straight section 2232, the shift block 150 and the pushing portion 151 will not move downward in the second direction. The shift block 150 and the pushing portion 151 will only retreat in the first direction away from the latch 300 until the third guide wheel 222 enters the second inclined groove section 2233. Since the second inclined groove section 2233 has a second predetermined angle with the first direction, the track plate 223 moves upward in the second direction under the push of the third guide wheel 222, and the shift block 150 and the pushing portion 151 indirectly connected to the track plate 223 also move upward to the initial height position.

[0126] Example 4:

[0127] The difference between the fourth embodiment and the first embodiment is that the second linear drive mechanism of the fourth embodiment is the same as the second linear drive mechanism 160B of the second embodiment, and the third drive mechanism of the fourth embodiment is the same as the third drive mechanism 220B of the third embodiment. Figure 22 shown.

[0128] In the fourth embodiment, the second linear drive mechanism 160B and the third drive mechanism 220B both use the power of the first linear drive mechanism 130 to achieve corresponding functions. They have good structural coordination and can significantly reduce the complexity of control compared to traditional multi-power structures, thereby reducing the probability of errors.
