[0049] In the related art, the bracket is usually rotated and assembled onto the key manually, resulting in low production efficiency.
[0050] In view of the above problems, the present invention proposes a key bracket assembly device 100, aiming to provide an automated assembly key bracket assembly device 100 to improve production efficiency.
[0051] See also Figures 1 to 8 In one embodiment of the present invention, the key bracket assembly device 100 includes a machine 10, a loading assembly 20, a positioning assembly 30, a picking assembly 40, and a conveying assembly 50; the machine 10 is provided with a positioning position a and an assembly position b; the loading assembly 20 is used to convey the bracket 300 to the loading end c; the positioning assembly 30 is provided at the positioning position a and is provided with a profiling groove 311; the picking assembly 40 is used to convey the bracket 300 at the loading end c to the profiling groove 311; the conveying assembly 50 is used to convey the tooling 200 Transported to the assembly position b, the tooling 200 is used to install the key 400; the picking assembly 40 is also used to transport the bracket 300 in the contoured groove 311 to the assembly position b, and insert one end of the bracket 300 into the first mounting post 410 of the key 400, so that one end of the bracket 300 rotates relative to the first mounting post 410 of the key 400, so that the other end of the bracket 300 falls on the second mounting post 420 of the key 400; the picking assembly 40 is also used to press the bracket 300 onto the key 400.
[0052] In this embodiment, the platform 10 serves as the supporting platform for the entire machine, mounting and supporting structural components such as the loading assembly 20, the positioning assembly 30, the retrieving assembly 40, and the conveying assembly 50. The positioning positions a and assembly positions b on the platform 10 can be arranged horizontally, vertically, or horizontally staggered, without specific limitation.
[0053] The loading assembly 20 is used to transport the multiple brackets 300 one by one to the position of the loading end c, so that the subsequent material removal assembly 40 can remove the materials. The loading assembly 20 can specifically include a vibrating feeder to transport the multiple brackets 300 one by one to the position of the loading end c by vibrating the vibrating feeder, wherein the vibrating feeder can be a flat vibrating feeder or a vibrating plate 21; or the loading assembly 20 can also include a conveyor belt to transport the multiple brackets 300 one by one to the position of the loading end c by the movement of the conveyor belt.
[0054] The positioning assembly 30 is used to precisely position the bracket 300 so that the subsequent material removal assembly 40 can accurately place the bracket 300 on the key 400. The positioning assembly 30 may include multiple positioning blocks, which enclose the multiple positioning blocks to form the contour groove 311; alternatively, the positioning assembly 30 may include a complete positioning block, which is hollowed out to form the contour groove 311; alternatively, the positioning assembly 30 may further include at least two clamping blocks, which are movable toward or in opposite directions, so that when the at least two clamping blocks move toward each other, the contour groove 311 is formed and the sealing block is clamped for precise positioning; alternatively, the positioning assembly 30 may further include a positioning platform 31, on which the contour groove 311 is directly opened.
[0055] The picking assembly 40 is used to transport the bracket 300 from the feeding end c of the feeding assembly 20 to the contoured groove 311 of the positioning assembly 30; the picking assembly 40 is also used to transport the bracket 300 in the contoured groove 311 to the assembly position b, and insert one end of the bracket 300 into the first mounting post 410 of the button 400. After one end of the bracket 300 is inserted into the first mounting post 410 of the button 400, the picking assembly 40 releases the bracket 300, so that under the action of gravity, one end of the bracket 300 automatically rotates relative to the first mounting post 410 of the button 400, so that the other end of the bracket 300 falls on the second mounting post 420 of the button 400, so that the two ends of the bracket 300 are respectively inserted into the first mounting post 410 and the second mounting post 420 of the button 400; the picking assembly 40 is also used to press the bracket 300 onto the button 400. The material picking component 40 may include a driving part and a material picking part, wherein the driving part may be a six-axis robot or an XYZ-axis driving mechanism, as long as it can drive the material picking part to switch between the loading end c, the positioning position a and the assembly position b; the material picking part may adopt clamping, suction and other methods to pick up the bracket 300, as long as it can pick up the bracket 300 smoothly.
[0056] The conveyor assembly 50 is used to convey the tooling 200 with the button 400 mounted thereon to the assembly position b, where the button 400 may have been manually or mechanically mounted on the tooling 200 in a previous process. The conveyor assembly 50 may include a conveyor belt to convey the tooling 200 with the button 400 mounted thereon from the previous process to the assembly position b; alternatively, the conveyor assembly 50 may include a plurality of conveyor rollers arranged side by side, which, under the rotation of the plurality of conveyor rollers, convey the tooling 200 with the button 400 mounted thereon from the previous process to the assembly position b.
[0057] In summary, the technical solution of the present invention provides a key bracket assembly device 100, which first transports the bracket 300 to the position of the loading end c through the loading component 20; then, the bracket 300 at the loading end c is transported to the profiling groove 311 of the positioning component 30 for profiling positioning through the picking component 40; then, the tooling 200 with the key 400 installed is transported to the assembly position b through the conveying component 50; then, the picking component 40 again transports the bracket 300 in the profiling groove 311 to the assembly position b, and inserts one end of the bracket 300 into the first mounting post 410 of the key 400, and then The picking assembly 40 releases the bracket 300, so that under the action of gravity, one end of the bracket 300 automatically rotates relative to the first mounting post 410 of the button 400, so that the other end of the bracket 300 falls on the second mounting post 420 of the button 400, so that the two ends of the bracket 300 are respectively inserted into the first mounting post 410 and the second mounting post 420 of the button 400; then the picking assembly 40 again presses the bracket 300 onto the button 400; finally, the tool 200 and the button 400 and the bracket 300 on the tool 200 are transported to the next process together through the conveying assembly 50. Therefore, by adopting the button bracket assembly device 100, it is possible to realize automatic rotation assembly between the button 400 and the bracket 300, replacing the manual rotation assembly method, reducing manual participation, and allowing uninterrupted assembly work, thereby effectively improving work efficiency. At the same time, it can also ensure high precision and consistency of the button 400 and the bracket 300, thereby improving product quality.
[0058] Furthermore, the key bracket assembly device 100 is capable of handling complex assembly tasks, including precise positioning and installation of tiny parts, meeting the high-precision and complex process requirements of AR glasses. Furthermore, the key bracket assembly device 100 operates stably, reducing the impact of human factors on the assembly process and improving product reliability and durability.
[0059] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 4 The present application further proposes that the feeding assembly 20 includes a vibration plate 21, and the vibration plate 21 is used to vibrate the bracket 300 to the feeding end c.
[0060] The present application uses a vibration plate 21 to transport multiple brackets 300 one by one to the position of the loading end c in a vibrating manner, and can transport the brackets 300 to the loading end c in a timely and continuous manner to achieve the effect of accurate and orderly loading.
[0061] In some embodiments, the vibration disk 21 may include a vibration disk and an output line, the output line is provided with a receiving end and a loading end c, a loading channel is provided between the receiving end and the loading end c, the receiving end of the output line is connected to the discharge port of the vibration disk, and under the vibration of the vibration disk, the bracket 300 can be transported from the discharge port to the receiving end, and then transported to the loading end c through the loading channel.
[0062] In some embodiments, the loading assembly 20 may further include a visual detector to detect whether the bracket 300 at the loading end c is qualified. If the bracket 300 is detected to be unqualified, the picking assembly 40 is controlled to directly transport the bracket 300 to a waste collection area for waste disposal. When the bracket 300 at the loading end c is detected to be qualified, the picking assembly 40 is controlled to transport the bracket 300 at the loading end c to the contoured groove 311 of the positioning assembly 30 for precise positioning. The visual detector may be a CCD visual locator, a visual SLAM locator, a lidar locator, etc.
[0063] See also Figure 3 The present application further proposes that there is a gap between the groove wall of the contoured groove 311 and the bracket 300.
[0064] The present application is equivalent to the contoured groove 311 of the positioning component 30 being expanded outward according to the shape of the bracket 300, so that the size of the contoured groove 311 can be slightly larger than the size of the bracket 300, which makes it easier for the material taking component 40 to place the bracket 300 into the contoured groove 311, and at the same time can reduce the scratching of the bracket 300 during the process of placing the bracket 300 into the contoured groove 311, thereby reducing damage to the bracket 300.
[0065] In some embodiments, the gap between the groove wall of the contoured groove 311 and the bracket 300 can be 0.04 mm, 0.05 mm, 0.06 mm, 0.07 mm, 0.08 mm, 0.09 mm, 0.1 mm, etc.
[0066] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 3, the present application further proposes that the positioning position a includes a first positioning position a1 and a second positioning position a2; the button bracket assembly equipment 100 also includes a picking structure 60; the positioning component 30 includes a positioning platform 31 and a side pushing mechanism 32; the positioning platform 31 is arranged at the first positioning position a1 and is provided with a contoured groove 311, and the picking component 40 is used to transport the bracket 300 at the feeding end c to the contoured groove 311 at the first positioning position a1; the side pushing mechanism 32 is arranged at the second positioning position a2, the picking structure 60 is used to transport the positioning platform 31 from the first positioning position a1 to the second positioning position a2, the side pushing mechanism 32 is used to push the bracket 300 in the contoured groove 311 to push the bracket 300 to abut against the groove wall of the contoured groove 311, and the picking component 40 is used to transport the bracket 300 in the contoured groove 311 at the second positioning position a2 to the assembly position b.
[0067] Since there is a gap between the groove wall of the profiling groove 311 and the bracket 300, in order to improve the positioning accuracy of the bracket 300, the side pushing mechanism 32 is used to push the bracket 300 in the profiling groove 311, so as to push the bracket 300 to abut against the groove wall of the profiling groove 311, thereby accurately positioning the bracket 300. Furthermore, since the first positioning position a1 is adjacent to the loading end c, a design of a first positioning position a1 and a second positioning position a2 is adopted to avoid interference between the side push mechanism 32 and the loading end c. The side push mechanism 32 is positioned at the second positioning position a2. The picker assembly 40 first conveys the bracket 300 at the loading end c into the contoured groove 311 at the first positioning position a1. The picker structure 60 then conveys the positioning platform 31 and the bracket 300 thereon to the second positioning position a2. The side push mechanism 32 then pushes the bracket 300 in the contoured groove 311 until it abuts against the groove wall of the contoured groove 311. The picker assembly 40 then conveys the bracket 300 in the contoured groove 311 at the second positioning position a2 to the assembly position b. This design improves the positioning accuracy of the bracket 300 while also avoiding interference between the side push mechanism 32 and the loading end c.
[0068] The retrieving mechanism 60 is used to transport the positioning platform 31 from the first positioning position a1 to the second positioning position a2, and also to transport the positioning platform 31 from the second positioning position a2 to the first positioning position a1. The retrieving mechanism 60 may include a drive member and a retrieving member. The drive member may be a six-axis robot or an XYZ-axis drive mechanism, as long as it can drive the retrieving member to switch between the first positioning position a1 and the second positioning position a2. The retrieving member may use a clamping, suction, or other method to retrieve the positioning platform 31, as long as it can stably retrieve the positioning platform 31.
[0069] See also Figure 3The present application further proposes that the side-pushing mechanism 32 includes a side-pushing driving member 321 and a pushing member 322 ; the pushing member 322 is transmission-connected to the side-pushing driving member 321 , and the side-pushing driving member 321 drives the pushing member 322 to move toward or away from the contoured groove 311 .
[0070] The present application can drive the pushing member 322 to move toward or away from the profiling groove 311 under the drive of the side pushing driving member 321, so that the pushing member 322 can smoothly push the bracket 300 to abut against the groove wall of the profiling groove 311, and before the material taking component 40 takes out the bracket 300 in the profiling groove 311, the pushing member 322 is first driven by the side pushing driving member 321 to move away from the profiling groove 311 to release the pushing force on the bracket 300, so that the material taking component 40 can smoothly take out the bracket 300 in the profiling groove 311.
[0071] In some embodiments, one side of the contoured groove 311 is provided with an opening that penetrates to the outer wall of the positioning platform 31. When the side push drive 321 drives the pushing member 322 to move toward the contoured groove 311, the pushing member 322 can extend into the contoured groove 311 from the opening to push the bracket 300 to abut against the groove wall of the contoured groove 311.
[0072] In some embodiments, after the material taking component 40 takes out the bracket 300 from the contoured groove 311, the bracket 300 can be first transported to the visual detector to take a photo to determine the posture of the bracket 300. If the bracket 300 is detected to be qualified, it is transported to the assembly position b for assembly. If the bracket 300 is detected to be unqualified, the bracket 300 is transported to the waste collection area for waste disposal.
[0073] See also Figures 5 to 7 The present application further proposes that the material picking component 40 includes a material picking drive 41 and a clamping component 42; the clamping component 42 is transmission-connected to the material picking drive 41, and the material picking drive 41 drives the clamping component 42 to move between the loading end c, the positioning position a and the assembly position b, and the clamping component 42 is used to clamp the bracket 300.
[0074] In this application, the material-retrieving drive member 41 drives the gripping member 42 to move between the loading end c, the positioning position a, and the assembly position b, so that the gripping member 42 can smoothly grip the bracket 300 at the loading end c into the contoured groove 311 at the positioning position a, and can smoothly grip the bracket 300 in the contoured groove 311 onto the tooling 200 at the assembly position b. In addition, the gripping method of the gripping member 42 to transport the bracket 300 can ensure the stability of the bracket 300 and avoid the risk of the bracket 300 falling off during transportation.
[0075] See also Figure 7The present application further proposes that the clamping member 42 includes two jaws 421 that can be opened or tightened, and a boss 4211 is provided on the side where the two jaws 421 are close to each other. The bosses 4211 of the two jaws 421 are staggered, and the bosses 4211 of the two jaws 421 are respectively limited and matched with the two grooves 310 of the bracket 300.
[0076] In the present application, when the two clamping jaws 421 approach each other to clamp the bracket 300, the bosses 4211 on the two clamping jaws 421 are respectively inserted into the two grooves 310 of the bracket 300, so that the bosses 4211 of the two clamping jaws 421 are respectively limited and cooperated with the two grooves 310 of the bracket 300. Since the bosses 4211 of the two clamping jaws 421 are staggered, the bracket 300 can be restricted from rotating on the clamping jaws 421 under the limited cooperation between the two bosses 4211 and the two grooves 310, thereby improving the stability of the clamping member 42 for clamping the bracket 300, thereby improving the assembly accuracy between the bracket 300 and the button 400.
[0077] See also Figure 6 、 Figure 7 The present application further proposes that the material taking component 40 also includes a side support block 43, which is arranged on one side of the clamping member 42, and the side support block 43 is used to prevent the bracket 300 from tipping over.
[0078] In the present application, when the clamping member 42 clamps the bracket 300, the side support block 43 can also support one side of the bracket 300, so that the side support block 43 acts as an armrest, thereby preventing the bracket 300 from tipping over. This further improves the stability of the clamping member 42 in clamping the bracket 300, thereby further improving the assembly accuracy between the bracket 300 and the button 400. In addition, when the clamping member 42 releases the bracket 300, the side support block 43 still supports one side of the bracket 300, allowing the bracket 300 to be more stably placed in the contoured groove 311 or on the button 400.
[0079] See also Figure 4 The present application further proposes that the conveying component 50 includes a conveying line 51 and a visual locator 52; the conveying line 51 is used to convey the tooling 200 to the assembly position b; the detection port of the visual locator 52 is set toward the assembly position b, and is used to detect the position of the button 400 on the tooling 200, and guide the material picking component 40 to convey the bracket 300 to the assembly position b.
[0080] After the present application transports the tooling 200 with the button 400 installed to the assembly position b through the conveyor line 51, the visual locator 52 detects the position of the case on the tooling 200, and controls the material picking component 40 to transport the bracket 300 in the contoured groove 311 to the assembly position b, and accurately inserts one end of the bracket 300 into the first mounting column 410 of the button 400. After the material picking component 40 releases the bracket 300, one end of the bracket 300 can be automatically rotated relative to the first mounting column 410 of the button 400 under the action of gravity, so that the other end of the bracket 300 falls on the second mounting column 420 of the button 400, so that the two ends of the bracket 300 are respectively inserted into the first mounting column 410 and the second mounting column 420 of the button 400, so as to achieve precise assembly of the bracket 300 and the button 400.
[0081] In practical applications, the visual locator 52 can be a CCD visual locator, a visual SLAM locator, a lidar locator, etc. Furthermore, the visual locator 52 can be set above the conveyor line 51 or on the side of the conveyor line 51, as long as the detection port of the visual locator 52 is ensured to face the assembly position b.
