[0055] In the current automated production of smart glasses, finished parts are generally removed manually from the tooling. Since the positioning of the smart glasses tooling needs to consider both the frame and the temples, it takes a certain amount of time to separate the products. However, for automated production lines with high UPH (Unit Per Hour), more manpower is often required to meet the production speed of the equipment. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design an automated equipment for automatic unloading of smart glasses.
[0056] Please refer to Figure 7 The flow tooling 50 includes a mother carrying unit 501 and two sub-carrying units 502 arranged on the mother carrying unit 501. The two sub-carrying units 502 are detachably connected. Since the temples are unfolded during the assembly of the smart glasses, it is beneficial for the locking and matching of the temples and the frame. Therefore, the two sub-carrying units 502 are arranged in an L shape, which are used to correspond to the frame and one of the temples of the smart glasses respectively. The mother carrying unit 501 serves as a bottom plate to facilitate transportation and positioning. The sub-carrying units 502 position and install the smart glasses through the contoured grooves.
[0057] The combination form of the two sub-carrying units 502 is not limited, and can be elastic snap fit or plug-in positioning. It should be understood that the two should have a combined state in which they are combined into one, and also a separate state in which they are unlocked and separated.
[0058] Please refer to Figures 1 to 2 The unloading equipment 100 includes a machine 1, a conveying device 3, a disassembling device 2 and a transporting device 4. The machine 1 has a disassembling station 10 and a material unloading station 20 arranged at intervals in the horizontal direction; the conveying stroke of the conveying device 3 passes through the disassembling station 10 and the material unloading station 20; the disassembling device 2 is provided at the disassembling station 10, and the disassembling device 2 includes a disassembling flip structure 21 and a material moving part 22. When the flow tool 50 is at the disassembling station 10, the disassembling flip structure 21 is used to disassemble the sub-bearing unit 502 of the corresponding frame, so that the smart glasses are disassembled accordingly. The material transfer unit 22 moves in the up-down and horizontal directions to put the sub-carrying unit 502 back onto the mother carrying unit 501 of the flow tooling 50 with the temples of the smart glasses facing upwards; the transporting device 4 is at the unloading station 20, and the transporting device 4 includes a picking portion 41 that moves in the up-down and horizontal directions, and the picking portion 41 is used to remove and transfer the smart glasses from the sub-carrying unit 502 when the flow tooling 50 is at the unloading station 20.
[0059] In the technical solution of the application, the conveying device 3 conveys the flow transfer tool 50 to flow transfer, when the disassembling station 10, the dismounting and overturning structure 21 splits the two sub-bear units 502, and the sub-bear unit 502 corresponding to the mirror frame is dismounted and moved away, the corresponding sub-bear unit 502 is active with the dismounting and overturning structure 21, the mirror frame is dismounted by being driven, because the mirror frame and the mirror leg are connected and matched, therefore, the mirror leg is separated from the initial positioning sub-bear unit 502, that is, the dismounting and overturning structure 21 drives one of the sub-bear units 502 and the intelligent glasses to move together, at this time, the sub-bear unit 502 left on the mother-bear unit 501 is empty, then, the dismounting and overturning structure 21 drives the sub-bear unit 502 to overturn a certain angle, so that the intelligent glasses show the state that the mirror leg is upward and the mirror frame is below the mirror leg, after the posture adjustment of the intelligent glasses is completed, the sub-bear unit 502 is kept in the state by the material moving part 22 and is put back to the mother-bear unit 501, so that the mother-bear unit 501 can be driven by the conveying device 3 to the unloading station 20, at this time, the mirror leg of the intelligent glasses is exposed, and the mirror frame is horizontally placed, the picking part 41 is controlled to be active to correspond to the intelligent glasses, the picking part 41 can pick the intelligent glasses and drive the intelligent glasses to move in the up-down direction, so as to drive the intelligent glasses to separate from the positioning groove on the corresponding sub-bear unit 502, complete the separation action of the intelligent glasses and the flow transfer tool 50, and the intelligent glasses can be individually moved. The automatic unloading of the intelligent glasses is realized, which can replace manual work and facilitate the assembly line of the intelligent glasses.
[0060] The working process of the unloading equipment 100 is as follows:
[0061] At the beginning, the two sub-bear units 502 of the flow transfer tool 50 are combined as a whole to position the intelligent glasses, at this time, the mirror frame and the mirror leg of the intelligent glasses are respectively positioned, and based on the combination process of the mirror frame and the mirror leg in the previous process, the intelligent glasses are horizontally placed, that is, the mirror frame is placed laterally, and the mirror leg extends along the horizontal direction. The conveying device 3 drives the flow transfer tool 50 to move as a whole;
[0062] When arriving at the disassembly station 10, the circulation tooling stops, and the disassembly flip structure 21 works at this time. First, the two sub-carrying units 502 are unlocked so that the two are in a separated state. Since the shape of the frame is more complex and it is the main body of the smart glasses, the degree of restriction on the frame is higher than the degree of restriction on the temples when designing the tooling. Therefore, when the sub-carrying unit 502 of the corresponding frame is removed, the entire smart glasses will be removed as well, that is, the frame remains positioned and the temples are separated from the corresponding sub-carrying unit 502. Then it is driven to flip 90°, so that the temples extend from horizontal to vertical, and the frame is set in the vertical direction. Since the disassembly of the flip structure 21 requires maintaining the state of the corresponding sub-carrying unit 502, the material transfer part 22 is controlled to move, thereby relaying with the disassembly flip structure 21. After the material transfer part 22 picks up the disassembled sub-carrying unit 502, the disassembly flip structure 21 is released, and the material transfer part 22 puts it back to the mother carrying unit 501. At this time, the two sub-carrying units 502 on the mother carrying unit 501 are placed side by side, one of which is empty and the other is equipped with smart glasses.
[0063] When the smart glasses reach the unloading station 20, the handling device 4 is controlled to operate, and the picking unit 41 moves horizontally to align with the sub-carrier unit 502 holding the smart glasses. The picking unit 41 moves up and down to remove the smart glasses from the corresponding sub-carrier unit 502, completing the disassembly. At this point, the smart glasses can be moved to the corresponding location according to the production line configuration, either placed on the line body for transfer to the packaging station or stored in a box.
[0064] The specific form of the conveying device 3 is not limited, and it can be a roller conveyor, a belt conveyor, etc.
[0065] The specific structure of the picking part 41 is not limited, and it can be a clamping or nozzle combination. Figure 6 The picking part 41 includes a movable seat 411 and a clamping structure, and the movable seat 411 moves in the up and down directions and in the horizontal direction; the clamping structure includes three clamping jaws 412, wherein two clamping jaws 412 correspond to the same side of the frame of the smart glasses to jointly form a first clamping jaw unit 41a, and the other clamping jaw 412 corresponds to the other side of the frame of the smart glasses to form a second clamping jaw unit 41b. At this time, the three clamping jaws 412 form a triangular positioning, and cooperate with different positions of the smart glasses. The first clamping jaw unit 41a and the second clamping jaw unit 41b can move in the direction of approaching or moving away from each other, thereby realizing the joint grasping of the smart glasses or releasing the smart glasses.
[0066] The movable seat 411 can be connected by a mechanical hand or a multi-axis driving structure to realize displacement in the X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis directions. It should be understood that, according to the arrangement of the stations, the movable seat 411 can also have a movable stroke in the X-axis and Z-axis directions, or a movable stroke in the Y-axis and Z-axis directions.
[0067] Specifically, the second jaw unit 41b is arranged in a horizontal direction offset from the first jaw unit 41a. For example, one jaw 412 in the second jaw unit 41b can be located between two jaws 412 of the first jaw unit 41a, that is, one jaw 412 corresponds to the middle position of the frame of the smart glasses, and the other two correspond to the positions of the two lenses of the frame, thereby realizing the effect of stable grabbing.
[0068] The lengths of the three jaws 412 can be the same or different, as long as the holding effect can be guaranteed. The lower end of each jaw 412 can be provided with a flange, so that the adjacent two sides of the smart glasses can be held at the same time.
[0069] The outside of each jaw 412 is provided with a flexible material, such as a silica gel pad, so as to avoid damage to the smart glasses during the transfer process.
[0070] Anti-slip ribs can also be provided on the opposite sides of the first jaw unit 41a and the second jaw unit 41b to increase the friction and avoid the smart glasses from slipping off during the clamping process.
[0071] The disassembly and overturning structure 21 should have the functions of grabbing and overturning. Please refer to Figures 3 to 4, the dismounting and overturning structure 21 comprises a first support base 211, two clamping arms 212 and two dismounting parts 213, the first support base 211 is movably installed on the machine table 1; can be installed through a mechanical hand or a multi-axis driving mechanism, the two clamping arms 212 are spaced apart in a horizontal direction and arranged at the bottom of the first support base 211, the two clamping arms 212 can move towards each other or away from each other, for jointly clamping the sub-bearing unit 502, the two clamping arms 212 can be driven to move simultaneously through a finger air cylinder, or a bidirectional screw rod can be arranged to realize it, the two dismounting parts 213 are arranged on the sides of the two clamping arms 212 facing each other, the two dismounting parts 213 can move towards each other or away from each other, to jointly contact the unlocking parts of the corresponding sub-bearing unit 502. The two dismounting parts 213 can be driven by a micro air cylinder. In this structure, the two clamping arms 212 can clamp the corresponding sub-bearing unit 502, and when the two dismounting parts 213 move towards each other, they can simultaneously contact and drive the unlocking parts of the two combined sub-bearing units 502, so that the two sub-bearing units 502 are in a split state. It should be noted that the overturning structure can be separately arranged to drive the overturning of the turnover tool 50 relative to the clamping arm 212, or the overturning structure can be an overturning air cylinder connected to the first support base 211, which drives the first support base 211 to overturn, thereby driving the clamping arm 212 and the turnover tool 50 to rotate synchronously. In this structure, the sub-bearing unit 502 is first clamped, then the two sub-bearing units 502 are split, and finally the clamped sub-bearing unit 502 is overturned.
[0072] Further, please refer to Figure 4 The overturning structure comprises a positioning pin 2121 and an overturning block 214, the positioning pin 2121 is arranged on the inner side of one of the clamping arms 212, used for being inserted into the positioning hole of the sub-bearing unit 502, the overturning block 214 is rotatably installed on the inner side of the other clamping arm 212 along the horizontal direction, the overturning block 214 is used for being embedded in the positioning groove of the sub-bearing unit 502, and can drive the sub-bearing unit 502 to rotate. When the sub-bearing unit 502 is clamped, the positioning pin 2121 and the overturning block 214 cooperate with the sub-bearing unit 502 respectively, after the sub-bearing unit 502 is split, the overturning block 214 is driven to rotate, which can drive the bearing unit to rotate around the axis where the positioning pin 2121 is located, thereby realizing the overturning action. In this structure, the sub-bearing unit 502 moves relative to the clamping arm 212, so that it can be arranged horizontally after being overturned by 90°, at this time, the two ends of the horizontal sub-bearing unit 502 protrude from the clamping arm 212, so that they are not blocked and can be easily cooperated with the material moving part 22.
[0073] It should be understood that a bearing can be arranged at the positioning pin 2121, so as to ensure the precise cooperation between the positioning pin 2121 and the sub-bearing unit 502, and the rotation of the positioning pin 2121 is realized through the bearing.
[0074] The shape of the turnover block 214 is not limited, and can be a regular square, a polygonal structure, or other irregular shapes. It should be understood that the turnover block 214 should have a certain cross-sectional size, so as to have a certain effective contact area with the sub-carrier unit 502.
[0075] The turnover block 214 can be driven to rotate by a motor. Considering the space limitation and the cost of components, in the embodiment, the disassembling device 2 further comprises a turnover driving assembly. The turnover driving assembly comprises a plurality of belt pulleys 231, a belt 232, and a driving cylinder 233. The plurality of belt pulleys 231 are rotatably installed on the corresponding clamping arm 212 along the horizontal axis. One of the plurality of belt pulleys 231 is connected with the turnover block 214. The plurality of belt pulleys 231 should at least include two, and three are provided in the embodiment. One of the plurality of belt pulleys 231 can be provided as a tension pulley. The belt 232 is sleeved outside the plurality of belt pulleys 231. The driving cylinder 233 extends in the horizontal direction. The cylinder barrel of the driving cylinder 233 is fixed on the corresponding clamping arm 212. The cylinder rod of the driving cylinder 233 is connected with the belt 232 through a connecting block. In this structure, the cylinder rod of the driving cylinder 233 is retracted and extended to drive the belt 232 to move, and finally to drive the turnover block 214 to rotate. In this structure, the components can be arranged in the same plane, so as to avoid the influence of the position of the clamping arm 212 on the space size along the rotation axis. The form of the cylinder and the belt is low in cost. The reciprocating extension and retraction of the cylinder can control the forward rotation and the reverse rotation of the turnover block 214. The limiting method for the turnover and reset positions of the turnover block 214 is simpler.
[0076] Considering the size limitation of the clamping arm 212, in the embodiment, a support plate 215 is fixed on the outer side of the corresponding clamping arm 212. The belt pulley 231, the belt 232, and the driving cylinder 233 are arranged on the support plate 215, so as to meet the requirement for the installation area.
[0077] The structure of the material moving part 22 is not limited in the application, and can be a grabbing and clamping structure, a suction nozzle structure, etc. Please refer to the description of the material moving part 22 in the first embodiment. Figure 5, the disassembling device 2 further comprises a second support base 24 and two clamping plates 221, the second support base 24 is movably mounted on the machine table 1 in the up-down direction and in the horizontal direction, which can be realized by a mechanical hand or a multi-axis driving mechanism, and the second support base 24 is located at the side of the disassembling and overturning structure 21; according to the positional relationship between the second support base 24 and the disassembling and overturning structure 21, the second support base 24 and the disassembling and overturning structure 21 can be arranged to realize horizontal displacement based on the same mounting frame. The two clamping plates 221 are spaced apart at the lower end of the second support base 24, and the two clamping plates 221 have an active stroke of moving closer to each other or moving away from each other, and the material moving part 22 comprises the two clamping plates 221. The two clamping plates 221 can be driven by a finger air cylinder, so as to realize lateral positioning of the sub-carrier unit 502.
[0078] A square positioning pin 2121 can be arranged on the inner side of the clamping plate 221, so as to achieve the effect of rotation stopping and positioning.
[0079] After the two clamping plates 221 clamp and fix the sub-carrier unit 502, at least one temple is arranged upward, and the extension direction of the frame is the same as the conveying direction of the conveying device 3. Please refer to Figure 3 The side surface of the second support base 24 is further provided with a stop piece 25, the stop piece 25 extends between the two clamping plates 221, and the shape of the stop piece 25 is not limited. During the clamping process of the clamping plates 221, the stop piece 25 will not cause obstruction. After the sub-carrier unit 502 is placed back on the mother carrier unit 501, the two clamping plates 221 are separated from the sub-carrier unit 502, but the material moving part 22 does not move. During the process that the flow transfer tool 50 is continuously conveyed by the conveying device 3, the stop piece 25 will contact the temple, and the stop piece 25 remains stationary, so that the temple is blocked and turned to the direction of the frame, thereby realizing pre-folding of the temple, which can facilitate subsequent disassembly of the smart glasses and avoid collision between the temple and other components during the following flow transfer process.
[0080] In order to make the mother carrier unit 501 stop at the corresponding station, in some embodiments, the conveying device 3 comprises a conveying belt 31 and at least one lifting unit 32, the conveying belt 31 is used to convey the flow transfer tool 50, and the lifting unit 32 is arranged staggered with the conveying belt 31, and the lifting unit 32 is located at the disassembling station 10 or the blanking station 20. The lifting unit 32 can move in the up-down direction to separate the flow transfer tool 50 from the conveying belt 31 upwardly or to make the flow transfer tool 50 fall on the conveying belt 31 downwardly. That is, when the mother carrier unit 501 is on the conveying belt 31, it can flow with the conveying belt 31. After being lifted by the lifting unit 32, the conveying belt 31 continues to work, and the mother carrier unit 501 stays at the corresponding position, so as to realize accurate positioning of the mother carrier unit 501 through jacking.
