[0058] Next, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0059] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation to the present invention. In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0060] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0061] In addition, the technical features involved in different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0062] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The automatic cover closing and flipping device 100 shown in a preferred embodiment of the present application includes a turntable device 2, a loading device 3, a screw locking device 4 and a unloading device 5. The automatic cover closing and flipping device 100 is used to screw the handle after flipping it. The handle includes a grip portion and a display block arranged on the central axis of the grip portion.

[0063] In order to enable the attached device 100 for automatic lid closing and flipping to have a stable operating support platform, the turntable device 2, the loading device 3, the screw locking device 4 and the unloading device 5 are all installed on the workbench 1, so that the screw locking installation of the handle is completed on the workbench 1. The workbench 1 mainly plays a supporting role, and its specific structure is not limited here.

[0064] See also Figures 1 to 3 The turntable device 2 includes a rotary drive mechanism 22 disposed on the workbench 1, a turntable 21 connected to the output shaft of the rotary drive mechanism 22, and a plurality of product carriers 23 disposed on the upper surface of the turntable 21. Among them, the number of product carriers 23 is at least one. In a preferred embodiment, the screw locking device 4 includes a first screw locking device 41 and a second screw locking device 42 disposed at intervals. Four product carriers 23 are disposed on the turntable 21. The product carriers 23 are distributed in a cross shape around the turntable 21. The loading device 3, the first screw locking device 41, the second screw locking device 4 and the unloading device 5 cooperate with one product carrier 23 respectively. At this time, each product carrier 23 participates in the screw locking process, and there is no idle product carrier 23. Optionally, the number of product carriers 23 may be more than four, so that at the same time, only four product carriers 23 on the turntable are involved in the screw locking process, and the other product carriers 23 are in a waiting state, which has a buffering effect; optionally, the number of product carriers 23 may be less than four, so that one or several of the loading device 3, the first screw locking device 41, the second screw locking device 4 and the unloading device 5 may be in a waiting state, resulting in lower efficiency.

[0065] Driven by the rotary drive mechanism 22, the turntable 21 rotates, and the required working devices (loading device 3, screw locking device 4 and unloading device 5) will be aligned with the product carrier 23 at the current position to perform corresponding working operations. As the turntable 21 continues to rotate, different product carriers 23 will be brought to the working positions of each working device in turn, realizing an efficient and continuous production process. The cross distribution structure of the product carrier 23 on the turntable 21 can ensure that each working device can efficiently handle the corresponding handle and work without affecting other operations. This design improves production efficiency and automation, allowing the equipment to complete multiple processes at the same time, further improving the overall efficiency of the production line.

[0066] See also Figure 3, the feeding device 3 includes a flipping mechanism 31, a temporary storage mechanism 32, and a feeding mechanism 33 that are spaced apart on the workbench 1 and located outside the turntable 21. The flipping mechanism 31 flips the handle and places it on the temporary storage mechanism, exposing the screw hole at the bottom of the handle. The feeding mechanism 33 transports the handle on the temporary storage mechanism 32 to the corresponding product carrier 23.

[0067] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the flipping mechanism 31 includes a first slide rail assembly 311, a first driving motor (not shown), a flipping motor 313, a first clamping member 314, and a first jaw motor 315.

[0068] The first slide rail assembly 311 includes a first slide rail 3111 provided on the workbench 1 and on one side of the turntable 21, and a first slider base 3112 slidably provided on the first slide rail 3111. The first driving motor and the first slide rail assembly 311 are spaced apart on the workbench 1, and the first driving motor can drive the first slider base 3112 to slide along the first direction ( Figure 1 the a-a direction in ), where the first direction is the extending direction of the first slide rail 3111. The flipping motor 313 is provided on the first slider base 3112. The first clamping member 314 includes a clamping arm 3141 connected to the output shaft of the flipping motor 313 and a first gripper 3142 connected to the clamping arm 3141. The first jaw motor 315 is provided on the clamping arm 3141 and can drive the first gripper 3142 to open or close.

[0069] The first slide rail assembly 311 achieves precise positioning of the handle by controlling the sliding position of the first slider base 3112 and the clamping state of the first gripper 3142. By driving the first slider base 3112 to slide along the first direction, the handle can be moved to the required position. The setting of the flipping motor 313 enables the first gripper 3142 to perform a flipping action. Also, by controlling the flipping motor 313, the angle of the clamping arm 3142 can be adjusted, and thus the clamping angle of the first gripper 3142 can be adjusted to adapt to handles of different shapes and sizes. Additionally, the first gripper 3141 is controlled by the first jaw motor 315 to achieve the operation of clamping or releasing the handle.

[0070] The first gripper 3142 includes a first jaw portion 3143 and a second jaw portion 3144 connected to the clamping arm 3141. The first jaw portion 3143 and the second jaw portion 3144 open to form a clamping space, and the robotic arm at the previous station places the handle in the clamping space.

[0071] Generally speaking, the first jaw part 3143 and the second jaw part 3144 are usually such that: the projected length of the first jaw part 3143 in the horizontal direction is the same as the projected length of the second jaw part 3144 in the horizontal direction, that is, the structures of the two first jaw parts 3143 and the second jaw parts 3144 are exactly the same in length and width, and their outer end faces are flush. In such a structure, the process of the first gripper 3142 gripping the handle is as follows: the robotic arm at the previous station adjusts the position of the handle to align it with the gripping space, and then inserts the handle into the gripping space. In this process, the handle is inserted into the gripping space while suspended, and it must first position the handle in a space at the same height as the gripping space and then complete the insertion work. This method is equivalent to the alignment of the space (gripping space) and the space (handle positioning space). Therefore, it inevitably requires the robotic arm to have a high operating accuracy to ensure the accurate positioning of the handle in space; and during the insertion process, the robotic arm also needs to have high stability to prevent movement and deviation during the insertion process, resulting in the handle being unable to be inserted into the gripping space.

[0072] As can be seen from the above description, the existing arrangement of the first jaw part 3143 and the second jaw part 3144 requires a relatively high-precision robotic arm, so the corresponding production cost will be increased. However, for the handle assembly, which is the service object of this application, the cost-profit of the enterprise itself is not very high, and reducing costs by replacing manual labor with equipment is also one of the purposes of this application. Therefore, the further problem to be solved in this application is how to reduce the equipment cost.

[0073] To solve the above problems, in this embodiment, the projected length of the first jaw part 3143 in the horizontal direction is less than the projected length of the second jaw part 3144 in the horizontal direction, and initially, the first jaw part 3143 is located above the second jaw part 3144. In this setting, the process of the first gripper 3142 gripping the handle is as follows: the robotic arm at the previous station positions the handle above the first gripper 3142 and then moves it downward. Since the projected length of the first jaw part 3143 is less than the projected length of the second jaw part 3144, the arm will not collide with the first jaw part 3143, and the handle continues to move downward until it touches the second jaw part 3144, and then the handle is pushed into the gripping space by the second jaw part 3144. In the process of this embodiment, before the handle is pushed into the gripping space, it first abuts against the second jaw part 3144, and then the handle is pushed into the gripping space by the second jaw part 3144. In this way, there is no need to use a robotic arm with high operating accuracy and high stability, which helps to reduce costs.

[0074] After the handle is placed in the clamping space, release the robotic arm. The first jaw part 3143 and the second jaw part 3144 close to clamp the handle, completing the operation of receiving the handle from the previous work station. Subsequently, driven by the flipping motor 313, the first gripper 3142 clamps the handle and flips it 180 degrees, revealing the screw hole located at the bottom of the handle. Then, driven by the first driving motor, it moves towards the temporary storage mechanism 32, causing the handle to fall above the temporary storage mechanism.

[0075] The temporary storage mechanism 32 includes a temporary storage base 321, a lifting component (not shown), a first positioning member 322, and a first pressure sensor 323. The temporary storage base 321 is arranged on the workbench 1 at an interval from the first slide rail 3111 in the first direction. The lifting component is arranged on the temporary storage base 321 and can drive the first positioning member 322 to move up and down relative to the temporary storage base 321. The lifting component can be a cylinder, a motor, etc., which is not limited here. The first positioning member 322 is arranged on the lifting component and is used to hold the handle. The first pressure sensor 323 is arranged on the first positioning member 322 and is used to detect the weight and position of the handle, so as to judge whether the feeding is ready. Through the cooperation of the first positioning member 322 and the second pressure sensor 323, the handle can be correctly placed into the temporary storage mechanism 32, thereby improving work efficiency and accuracy.

[0076] When the handle is above the temporary storage mechanism 32, the first positioning member 322 moves upward driven by the lifting component until the handle falls into the groove of the first positioning member 322. At this time, since the projected length of the first jaw part 3143 in the horizontal direction is less than the projected length of the second jaw part 3144 in the horizontal direction, although the second jaw part is above the first positioning member, during the upward movement of the first positioning member 322, the first jaw part 3143 does not contact the first positioning member 322, thus avoiding interference. The first jaw part 3143 and the second jaw part 3144 open to release the handle, enabling the handle to completely fall into the first positioning member 322, completing the operation of temporarily storing the handle. The flipping mechanism 31 is driven by the first driving motor to retreat to the initial position, and then is flipped 180 degrees driven by the flipping motor 313, preparing for the next feeding.

[0077] The feeding mechanism 33 includes: a feeding base 331, a first linear motor 332, a first vertical base 333, a first vertical slider 334, a first vertical driving motor (not shown), a second gripper 336, and a second jaw motor 337.

[0078] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5, the feeding base 331 is arranged on the workbench 1 at an interval from the temporary storage base 321 in the first direction. The first linear motor 332 includes a first motor body 3321 installed at the top of the feeding base 331 and a second slider base 3322 slidably arranged on the first motor body 3321. In this embodiment, travel switches 3323 are arranged at both ends of the first motor body 3321 to detect the position of the second slider base 3322, ensuring the accurate positioning and motion control of the feeding system. The first vertical base 333 is fixed on the second slider base 3322, the first vertical slider 334 is slidably arranged on the first vertical base 333, and the first vertical driving motor is installed on the first vertical slider 334 to drive the first vertical slider 334 to slide on the first vertical base 333 in the vertical direction. The second gripper 336 is installed at the bottom of the first vertical slider 334, and the second jaw motor 337 is installed between the first vertical slider 334 and the second gripper 336 to drive the second gripper 336 to open or close, thereby clamping or releasing the handle.

[0079] In this embodiment, the second gripper 336 includes a third jaw portion 3361 and a fourth jaw portion 3362 installed at the bottom of the first vertical slider 334. The third jaw portion 3361 is close to the temporary storage mechanism. When the flipping mechanism 31 retracts to the initial position, the second gripper 336 clamps the handle at the same time. In one embodiment, the third jaw portion 3361 is designed to be right-angled. However, there are the following problems with this setting method: If the third jaw portion 3361 is designed to be right-angled, then there will be motion interference and collision between the second jaw portion 3144 and the third jaw portion 3361. To solve the above problems, in this embodiment, the third jaw portion 3361 is set to be arc-shaped, so that the collision between the second jaw portion 3144 and the third jaw portion 3361 can be effectively avoided.

[0080] In addition, when the third jaw portion 3361 is designed to be right-angled, in order to prevent movement interference between the second jaw portion 3144 and the third jaw portion 3361, when the third jaw portion 3361 and the fourth jaw portion 3362 are in the closed state, the relative distance needs to be closer to prevent collision with the second jaw portion 3144. Therefore, when the third jaw portion 3361 and the fourth jaw portion 3362 change from the closed state to the open state, the stroke of the third jaw portion 3361 will increase accordingly. However, in this embodiment, the arc-shaped third jaw portion 3361 will not interfere with the second jaw portion 3144. Therefore, when the third jaw portion 3361 and the fourth jaw portion 3362 are in the closed state, the relative distance does not need to be shortened, so that when the third jaw portion 3361 and the fourth jaw portion 3362 change from the closed state to the open state, the stroke of the third jaw portion 3361 will not increase. When the stroke of the third jaw portion 3361 increases, the power required for the second jaw motor 337 will increase accordingly, which will cause the volume of the second jaw motor 337 to become larger. Correspondingly, in order to fix the second jaw motor 337, the volume of the feeding base 331 needs to be increased. In this way, the equipment cost will increase, which does not meet the purpose of reducing costs in this application. Therefore, the arc-shaped third jaw portion 3361 in this embodiment is a better setting.

[0081] The arc-shaped third jaw portion 3361 also adapts to the projection length of the first jaw portion 3143 in this embodiment being less than the projection length of the second jaw portion 3144. The third jaw portion 3361 includes a horizontal portion (not labeled) connected to the first vertical slider 334, an arc portion (not labeled) connected to the horizontal portion, and a vertical portion (not labeled) connected to the arc portion. During the retraction process of the first gripper 314, the first jaw portion 3143 and the horizontal portion are at the same height. When the projection length of the first jaw portion 3143 is equal to the projection length of the second jaw portion 3144, the first jaw portion 3143 will still interfere with the third jaw portion 3361, causing wear. However, in this embodiment, the projection length of the first jaw portion 3143 is less than the projection length of the second jaw portion 3144. At this time, since the first jaw portion 3143 is shorter, the first jaw portion 3143 will not interfere with the third jaw portion 3361, thus avoiding wear and collision, and correspondingly reducing the operating cost of the equipment.

[0082] Please refer to Figure 6 , the screw locking device 4 includes a first screw locking device 41 and a second screw locking device 42 that are arranged on the workbench 1 at intervals in the circumferential direction of the turntable 21 and are used for screwing the handle.

[0083] The first screw locking device 41 includes a second slide rail assembly 411, a second drive motor 412, a third slide rail assembly 413, a third drive motor 414, a screwdriver slider 415, a screwdriver 416, and a servo motor 417.

[0084] The second slide rail assembly 411 includes a second slide rail 4112 disposed on the workbench 1 and outside the turntable 21, and a second slider base 4113 slidably disposed on the second slide rail 4112. The second driving motor 412 is spaced from the second slide rail assembly 411 on the workbench 1, and the second driving motor 412 drives the second slider base 4113 to slide on the second slide rail 4112. The third slide rail assembly 413 includes a third slide rail 4131 mounted on the second slider base 4112 and a third slider base 4132 slidably disposed on the third slide rail 4131. In this embodiment, a second pressure sensor 418 is disposed at the bottom end of the third slider base 4132 for detecting whether the screw is installed qualified. The third driving motor 414 is mounted on the third slider base 4132 and drives the third slider base 4132 to slide on the third slide rail 4131, wherein the moving direction of the second slider base 4113 is perpendicular to the moving direction of the third slider base 4132. The electric screwdriver slider 415 is slidably disposed on the third slider base 4132, and the electric screwdriver 416 is mounted on the electric screwdriver slider 415. The servo motor 417 is mounted on the third slider base 4132 and drives the electric screwdriver slider 415 to slide in the vertical direction, thereby driving the electric screwdriver 416 to move in the vertical direction to complete the screw locking operation.

[0085] The first screw locking device 41 can move along the second direction ( Figure 1 in the b-b direction in the figure) through the second slide rail assembly 411 and the second driving motor 412. The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. Through the third slide rail assembly 413 and the third driving motor 414, it can move along the first direction, so that the position of the first screw locking device 41 on the workbench 1 can be adjusted to adapt to handles of different sizes.

[0086] The servo motor 417 can achieve precise control of the electric screwdriver slider 415, and the second pressure sensor 418 can monitor whether the screw is installed qualified, so as to judge whether the current handle is a defective product or a good product.

[0087] In this embodiment, the structure of the second screw locking device 42 is similar to that of the first screw locking device 41, and will not be described in detail here.

[0088] Please refer to Figure 7 , the blanking device 5 includes a discharging mechanism 52 disposed between the feeding device 3 and the second screw locking device 42 along the circumferential direction of the turntable 21, and a transporting mechanism 51 spaced from the discharging mechanism 52 on the workbench 1.
