[0036] The present invention provides Figures 1 to 10 The flexible assembly equipment for blind plugs and blind rods of a wiring harness connector shown includes a testing platform 1 and an assembly mechanism. The assembly mechanism includes an assembly platform 25 and a pressing platform 26. The pressing platform 26 is located between the assembly platform 25 and the testing platform 1.

[0037] The assembly table 25 is the assembly station, which includes a flexible vibration plate, a manipulator and other structures to insert the blind rod into the workpiece that needs blind plugging.

[0038] Among them, the flexible vibration plate does not have too high requirements on the limitations of the materials to be processed. It can be compatible with materials of different categories and sizes and change their position and shape through high-frequency vibration, which greatly improves the production efficiency of the automated assembly line, reduces the need for manual intervention, and shortens the production cycle.

[0039] The pressing platform 26 is a flattening station, including a pressing plate and other structures, for extruding and assembling the blind rod.

[0040] Inspection table 1 is the inspection station, where the assembled workpieces are inspected.

[0041] In addition, it also includes loading stations, unloading stations, etc., which are adjusted according to specific usage.

[0042] A swivel seat 3 is provided above the testing table 1. In actual use, the workpiece is placed on the swivel seat 3, and structures such as a clamping plate can also be provided to fix the workpiece, which can be adjusted according to specific usage conditions.

[0043] In order to realize the rotation of the swivel seat 3, the top of the detection table 1 is rotatably connected to a threaded rod 4, and the top end of the threaded rod 4 is threadedly connected to a threaded barrel 9. An external thread structure is provided on the threaded rod 4, and an internal thread structure is provided on the inner wall of the threaded barrel 9 (not shown in the figure). The external thread structure and the internal thread structure are matched with the principle of the "ball screw" in the prior art; and in actual production, the surfaces of the external thread structure and the internal thread structure are relatively smooth, and can also be used with lubricating oil.

[0044] The top of the testing platform 1 is fixedly connected to a bracket 7, and the top of the bracket 7 is fixedly connected to an electric push rod 8. A threaded barrel 9 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the electric push rod 8. When the telescopic end of the electric push rod 8 is controlled to extend, it will drive the threaded barrel 9 to move downward, and at this time the threaded rod 4 will rotate, that is, the linear motion of the "ball screw" is converted into rotary motion; when the telescopic end of the electric push rod 8 is controlled to retract, the threaded rod 4 rotates in the opposite direction.

[0045] The electric push rod 8 and the like are connected to the power supply of the factory.

[0046] The threaded rod 4 is matched with the swivel seat 3 through a transmission assembly, and the transmission assembly includes a rotating shaft 2, a first gear 5 and a second gear 6. The rotating shaft 2 is rotatably connected to the top of the detection platform 1, and the swivel seat 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating shaft 2. The first gear 5 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 2, and the second gear 6 is fixedly connected to the threaded rod 4. The first gear 5 is meshed with the second gear 6.

[0047] When the threaded rod 4 rotates, it drives the second gear 6 to rotate. Since the first gear 5 is meshed with the second gear 6, the first gear 5 drives the rotating shaft 2 and the rotating seat 3 to rotate, and the workpiece rotates synchronously.

[0048] A high-definition camera 11 is provided on the threaded barrel 9 , a mounting frame 10 is fixedly connected to the threaded barrel 9 , and the high-definition camera 11 is mounted on the mounting frame 10 .

[0049] Furthermore, the high-definition camera 11 can be used in conjunction with a display screen, etc., to facilitate observation by operators.

[0050] Specifically, a workpiece is placed on the swivel seat 3, and the high-definition camera 11 is activated to film and inspect the workpiece. The electric push rod 8 is activated, and the telescopic end of the electric push rod 8 is controlled to extend, driving the threaded barrel 9 to move downward, causing the threaded rod 4 to rotate. When the threaded rod 4 rotates, it drives the second gear 6 to rotate. Since the first gear 5 is meshed with the second gear 6, the first gear 5 drives the rotating shaft 2 and the swivel seat 3 to rotate, and the workpiece rotates synchronously. The rotation of the workpiece is synchronized with the height adjustment of the high-definition camera 11, achieving surround-view, multi-angle filming and inspection of the workpiece, ensuring the accuracy of the inspection. This eliminates the need to install multiple high-definition cameras 11 and reduces the cost of equipment use.

[0051] Taking into account the influence of the workshop environment and other factors, if the high-definition camera 11 or the workpiece is covered with dust and other impurities, it is easy to affect the accuracy of the inspection. An air cylinder 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the inspection table 1. A sliding column 16 is slidingly provided in the air cylinder 12, which rises and falls synchronously with the threaded cylinder 9. The top of the sliding column 16 is fixedly connected to a connecting plate 17. The end of the connecting plate 17 away from the sliding column 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the threaded cylinder 9. That is, when the threaded cylinder 9 is driven up and down by the electric push rod 8, the sliding column 16 moves up and down synchronously with the cooperation of the connecting plate 17.

[0052] The gas cylinder 12 comprises, from bottom to top, a first section 1201, a second section 1202, and a third section 1203. The second section 1202 is rotatably disposed between the first and third sections 1201, 1203. The first section 1201 is fixedly connected to the test platform 1, and the third section 1203 is fixedly connected to the bracket 7. The sliding post 16 slides inside the third section 1203.

[0053] Furthermore, the interior of the gas cylinder 12 has a relatively large volume, thereby ensuring the gas flow rate.

[0054] In order to achieve the filtering effect, a filter screen 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the third barrel section 1203, and a scraper 15 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second barrel section 1202. The scraper 15 is attached to the bottom of the filter screen 14. When the second barrel section 1202 rotates, it drives the scraper 15 to rotate, pushing and scraping the filter screen 14 to prevent dust and the like from continuously accumulating at the bottom of the filter screen 14.

[0055] The first barrel section 1201 is provided with a material taking trough, a cover plate, etc. (not shown in the figure). When a lot of dust and other impurities are accumulated inside the first barrel section 1201, the cover plate can be opened and the accumulated impurities can be taken out through the material taking trough.

[0056] The second barrel section 1202 is fixedly connected to the third gear 13 , and the third gear 13 is meshed with the second gear 6 .

[0057] Specifically, when the threaded rod 4 rotates, it will drive the second gear 6 to rotate. Since the first gear 5 is meshed with the second gear 6, the first gear 5 drives the rotating shaft 2 and the rotating seat 3 to rotate, and the workpiece rotates synchronously; at the same time, since the third gear 13 is meshed with the second gear 6, the third gear 13 drives the second barrel section 1202 to rotate, and drives the scraper 15 to rotate synchronously, pushing and scraping the filter screen 14.

[0058] By arranging structures such as a transmission assembly, the threaded rod 4 is rotated to simultaneously drive the rotating seat 3 and the scraper 15 to rotate, thereby reducing energy consumption.

[0059] The first barrel section 1201 sucks dust from the workpiece through a first connecting component, which includes a first pipe 18, a first one-way valve 19 and a first wind hood 20. The first pipe 18 is connected to the first barrel section 1201, and the first wind hood 20 is connected to the end of the first pipe 18 away from the first barrel section 1201, and the first wind hood 20 faces the turntable 3. The first one-way valve 19 is installed on the first pipe 18. The first one-way valve 19 is set so that external air can enter the interior of the first barrel section 1201 through the first pipe 18 without flowing in the opposite direction.

[0060] The third barrel section 1203 blows away dust from the high-definition camera 11 through the second connecting component. The second connecting component includes a second pipe 21, a second one-way valve 22, a second wind hood 23 and a support plate 24. The second pipe 21 can use a telescopic hose. The second pipe 21 is connected to the bottom end of the third barrel section 1203. The second wind hood 23 is connected to the end of the second pipe 21 away from the third barrel section 1203, and the second wind hood 23 faces the high-definition camera 11. The second one-way valve 22 is installed on the second pipe 21. The support plate 24 is fixedly connected to the threaded barrel 9. The second pipe 21 is fixed on the support plate 24. The second one-way valve 22 is set so that the gas in the third barrel section 1203 can be discharged outward from the second pipe 21 without flowing in the opposite direction.

[0061] In actual use, the sizes of the first air cover 20 and the second air cover 23 are set appropriately to ensure the coverage area.

[0062] During actual use, when the telescopic end of the electric push rod 8 is extended, the threaded cylinder 9 is driven to move downward, and the sliding column 16 slides downward inside the third cylinder section 1203. With the cooperation of the first one-way valve 19 and the second one-way valve 22, the gas inside the third cylinder section 1203 is blown toward the high-definition camera 11 through the second pipe 21 and the second wind hood 23, blowing away the dust on the shooting end of the high-definition camera 11.

[0063] When the telescopic end of the electric push rod 8 is controlled to be retracted, the threaded cylinder 9 is driven to move upward, and the sliding column 16 slides upward inside the third cylinder section 1203. With the cooperation of the first one-way valve 19 and the second one-way valve 22, the dust blown off from the workpiece and the shooting end of the high-definition camera 11 is sucked to achieve the dust removal effect. The dust enters the interior of the first cylinder section 1201 and is intercepted by the filter 14 to achieve the collection effect.

[0064] During the up and down sliding of the sliding column 16, since the third gear 13 is meshed with the second gear 6, the third gear 13 drives the second cylinder section 1202 to rotate, and drives the scraper 15 to rotate synchronously, pushing and scraping the filter screen 14 to prevent the filter screen 14 from being blocked, thereby ensuring the efficiency of air supply and suction.

[0065] By providing the first barrel section 1201, the filter screen 14 and other structures, the effects of dust removal, automatic collection and anti-clogging are achieved.

[0066] The present invention realizes surround-type, multi-angle shooting and detection by setting structures such as threaded rod 4, threaded barrel 9, first connecting component and second connecting component, and can blow away dust on the shooting end of high-definition camera 11, and suck dust blown off from the workpiece and the shooting end of high-definition camera 11, thereby improving the utilization efficiency of the flexible assembly equipment of blind plug and blind rod of wiring harness connector.

[0067] Working Principle: Place the workpiece on the swivel seat 3 and start the high-definition camera 11 to film and inspect the workpiece. Start the electric push rod 8, control the telescopic end of the electric push rod 8 to extend, drive the threaded barrel 9 to move downward, and the threaded rod 4 to rotate. When the threaded rod 4 rotates, it drives the second gear 6 to rotate. Because the first gear 5 is meshed with the second gear 6, the first gear 5 drives the rotating shaft 2 and the swivel seat 3 to rotate, and the workpiece rotates synchronously.

[0068] The telescopic end of the electric push rod 8 is controlled to extend, driving the threaded cylinder 9 to move downward, and the sliding column 16 slides downward inside the third cylinder section 1203. With the cooperation of the first one-way valve 19 and the second one-way valve 22, the gas inside the third cylinder section 1203 is blown toward the high-definition camera 11 through the second pipe 21 and the second wind hood 23 to blow away the dust on the shooting end of the high-definition camera 11.

[0069] The telescopic end of the electric push rod 8 is controlled to be retracted, driving the threaded barrel 9 to move upward, and the sliding column 16 slides upward inside the third barrel section 1203. With the cooperation of the first one-way valve 19 and the second one-way valve 22, the dust blown off from the workpiece and the shooting end of the high-definition camera 11 is sucked to achieve the dust removal effect. The dust enters the interior of the first barrel section 1201 and is intercepted by the filter 14.

[0070] During the sliding of the sliding post 16 , the third gear 13 is meshed with the second gear 6 , so that the third gear 13 drives the second barrel section 1202 to rotate, and drives the scraper 15 to rotate synchronously, thereby pushing and scraping the filter screen 14 .
