Description
Technical Field
[0001] This specification relates to the field of automation equipment technology, and in particular to a production line assembly device. Background Technology
[0002] On automated production lines, when assembling two workpieces, it's typically necessary to first fix one workpiece, then move the other workpiece onto the surface of the fixed workpiece to complete the assembly. If the moved workpiece needs to be installed on the top surface of the fixed workpiece, this is usually relatively simple. However, if the moved workpiece needs to be installed on the side of the fixed workpiece, and the fixed workpiece is thin, this assembly process cannot be achieved with existing equipment.

[0037] Beneficial effects:

The first workpiece enters the assembly line device through the first assembly line. The dispensing mechanism first applies adhesive to the side of the first workpiece, then moves it to an assembly component on the second slide rail. The assembly component moves along the second slide rail to below the first slide rail, and then is moved to the hand-changing assembly station. The second workpiece enters the assembly line device through the second assembly line. The bending station bends the second workpiece, and then it is moved to an assembly component at the hand-changing assembly station, where the first and second workpieces are assembled. The assembly component then slides from the first slide rail to the second slide rail, moving onto it. It continues moving along the second slide rail, engaging with the curing station on the third slide rail. The curing station cures the contact area between the first and second workpieces on the assembly component, completing the assembly and producing the finished product. Finally, the assembly component moves the finished product along the second slide rail to one end of the assembly line, where it is transferred to the first tray. Once the tray is full, the finished product is removed from the assembly line. Because there are three second slide rails, the assembly components on each rail can perform different processes, greatly improving assembly efficiency. This assembly line optimizes the arrangement of workstations in the assembly process, allowing each workstation to operate simultaneously, reducing waiting time and maximizing assembly efficiency.

[0086] Please see Figures 5 to 7 This application provides a production line assembly device, including: a first production line 61, a second production line 62, a first slide rail 67, a second slide rail 63, a third slide rail 68, a dispensing mechanism 9, a bending station 64, a hand-changing assembly station 65, and a curing station 66.
[0087] Among them, such as Figure 6As shown, the first production line 61 extends along the first direction X and is used to transport the first workpiece 100 and output the assembled finished product 300. A first material tray 400 is provided on the first production line 61. A dispensing mechanism 9 is located on one side of the first production line 61 in the second direction Y and is used to dispense adhesive onto the side of the first workpiece 100. The first direction X, the second direction Y, and the vertical direction Z are mutually perpendicular, and the first direction X and the second direction Y are two perpendicular directions in the horizontal plane. The second production line 62 extends along the second direction Y and is used to transport the second workpiece 200. A second material tray 500 is provided on the second production line 62. The second production line 62 and the dispensing mechanism 9 are located on different sides of the first production line 61 in the second direction Y. A bending station 64 is located on one side of the second production line 62 in the first direction X. A hand-changing assembly station 65 is located on one side of the bending station 64 in the second direction Y. A changeover assembly station 65 is connected to a first slide rail 67 extending along a first direction X, allowing the changeover assembly station 65 to move along the first direction X. Three second slide rails 63 extend along a second direction Y. The second slide rails 63 and the second production line 62 are located on the same side of the first production line 61 in the second direction Y. A bending station 64 is located between the second production line 62 and the second slide rails 63. Each of the second slide rails 63 is equipped with an assembly component 69, which slides along the second slide rail 63 in the second direction Y. The assembly component 69 is used to receive the first workpiece 100 on the first tray 400 and can be transferred to the changeover assembly station 65. A curing station 66 is slidably arranged in the first direction X. The curing station 66 is connected to a third slide rail 68 extending along the first direction X. The third slide rail 68 is located on the side of the first slide rail 67 opposite to the first production line 61.
[0088] The assembly line device provided in this embodiment includes a first assembly line 61, a second assembly line 62, a first slide rail 67, a second slide rail 63, a third slide rail 68, a dispensing mechanism 9, a bending station 64, a hand-changing assembly station 65, and a curing station 66. The first assembly line 61 and the second assembly line 62 are used for feeding the first workpiece 100 and the second workpiece 200, respectively. They are perpendicular to each other, which can make reasonable use of space. The first workpiece 100 enters the assembly line device through the first assembly line 61. The dispensing mechanism 9 first dispenses glue onto the side of the first workpiece 100. Then, the first workpiece 100 is moved to the assembly component 69 on the second slide rail 63. The assembly component 69 moves on the second slide rail 63 to below the first slide rail 67, and then the assembly component 69 is moved to the hand-changing assembly station 65. The second workpiece 200 enters the assembly line device through the second production line 62. It is bent at the bending station 64 and then moved to the assembly component 69 at the hand-changing assembly station 65. At the hand-changing assembly station 65, the first workpiece 100 and the second workpiece 200 are assembled. The assembly component 69 then slides from the first slide rail 67 to the second slide rail 63, continuing to move along it. It then engages with the curing station 66 on the third slide rail 68, where the contact area between the first workpiece 100 and the second workpiece 200 on the assembly component 69 is cured, completing the assembly and yielding the assembled product 300. Finally, assembly component 69 moves the assembled product 300 along the second slide rail 63 to one end near the first assembly line 61. The assembled product 300 is then moved onto the first tray 400. Once the first tray 400 is full of assembled products 300, it is removed from the assembly line device. Because there are three second slide rails 63, the assembly components 69 on the three second slide rails 63 can perform different processes, greatly improving assembly efficiency. This assembly line device rationally arranges the workstations of each process in the assembly process, allowing each workstation to work simultaneously, reducing waiting time and maximizing assembly efficiency.
[0089] In this embodiment, the assembly line device further includes a mounting base 6. A first assembly line 61, a second assembly line 62, a second slide rail 63, a first slide rail 67, a third slide rail 68, and a dispensing mechanism 9 are all mounted on the mounting base 6. The first assembly line 61 is movable relative to the mounting base 6 along a first direction X, and the second assembly line 62 is movable relative to the mounting base 6 along a second direction Y.
[0090] Specifically, the dispensing mechanism 9 includes a first dispensing and loading transfer assembly 91 and a second dispensing and loading transfer assembly 92 slidably disposed in the second direction Y, and a dispensing and loading gantry 93 disposed on the mounting base 6. The dispensing and loading gantry 93 is provided with suction nozzles that are slidably disposed in the first direction X, the second direction Y, and the vertical direction Z. The dispensing mechanism 9 also includes a first dispensing position 941, a second dispensing position 942, a third dispensing position 943, and a fourth dispensing position 944 sequentially disposed in the first direction X. The dispensing mechanism 9 also includes a first dispensing carrier transfer assembly 951, a second dispensing carrier transfer assembly 952, a third dispensing carrier transfer assembly 953, and a fourth dispensing carrier transfer assembly 954 sequentially disposed in the first direction X.
[0091] In a specific application scenario, the first workpiece 100 in the first material tray 400 on the first production line 61 is first placed on the first dispensing and loading transfer assembly 91 and the second dispensing and loading transfer assembly 92. Taking the movement of the first dispensing and loading transfer assembly 91 as an example, the first dispensing and loading transfer assembly 91 moves to the dispensing pick-up and drop-off gantry 93, and the suction nozzle of the dispensing pick-up and drop-off gantry 93 picks up the first workpiece 100 and places it on the first dispensing carrier transfer assembly 951 (or the second dispensing carrier transfer assembly 952, the third dispensing carrier transfer assembly 953, and the fourth dispensing carrier transfer assembly 954; here, the first dispensing carrier transfer assembly 951 is used as an example). Then, the first dispensing carrier transfer assembly 951 moves to the first dispensing position 941 to perform the first dispensing of the first workpiece 100, then moves to the second dispensing position 942 to perform the second dispensing of the first workpiece 100, and finally moves to the dispensing pick-up and drop-off gantry 93. The suction nozzle of the dispensing and loading gantry 93 places the first workpiece 100, which has been dispensed on the first dispensing carrier transfer assembly 951, onto the first dispensing loading and transfer assembly 91. The first dispensing loading and transfer assembly 91 then transports the first workpiece 100 back to the first material tray 400 of the first production line 61 for subsequent assembly operations.
[0092] The second dispensing carrier transfer assembly 952 can also drive the first workpiece 100 to dispense glue at both the first dispensing position 941 and the second dispensing position 942. The third dispensing carrier transfer assembly 953 can drive the first workpiece 100 to dispense glue at both the third dispensing position 943 and the fourth dispensing position 944. The fourth dispensing carrier transfer assembly 954 can drive the first workpiece 100 to dispense glue at both the third dispensing position 943 and the fourth dispensing position 944. By setting up multiple dispensing and feeding transfer assemblies, multiple dispensing carrier transfer assemblies, and multiple dispensing positions, the dispensing efficiency can be greatly improved.
[0093] In this embodiment, the assembly component 69 includes a support mechanism 1 for supporting the first workpiece 100. For example... Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, the carrier mechanism 1 includes a first mounting base 11, a carrier 12 fixedly arranged on the first mounting base 11, and a first driving member 15 connected to the first mounting base 11. The carrier 12 is provided with a carrying surface 121 for carrying a fixed workpiece. As Figure 14 and Figure 15 shown, a channel 122 perpendicular to the carrying surface 121 is provided inside the carrier 12, and a magnetic member 123 is arranged inside the channel 122. The magnetic member 123 can move inside the channel 122 to switch between a material suction position close to the carrying surface 121 and a material discharging position away from the carrying surface 121. The carrier 12 has a waiting position where the carrying surface 121 is horizontally arranged (as Figure 10 shown) and a working position where the carrying surface 121 is vertically arranged (as Figure 8 shown). When the carrier 12 is in the waiting position, the assembling component 69 is located at one end of the third slide rail 68 close to the first assembly line 61 for loading the first workpiece 100 and unloading the assembled finished product 300. When the carrier 12 is in the working position, the magnetic member 123 is in the material suction position. The first driving member 15 is used to drive the first mounting base 11 to rotate 90° around an axis extending along the third direction P, so that the carrier 12 switches between the waiting position and the working position. The third direction P is parallel to the carrying surface 121.
[0094] In the carrier mechanism 1 of this embodiment, the first mounting base 11 and the carrier 12 are provided. When the carrier 12 is in the working position, the first workpiece 100 on the carrier 12 faces upward on the side, which is convenient for assembling the second workpiece 200 on the side of the first workpiece 100. The magnetic member 123 located at the material suction position sucks the first workpiece 100 to ensure that the first workpiece 100 will not fall, so that the first workpiece 100 can be firmly fixed.
[0095] It should be noted that the first workpiece 100 in the embodiment of this application must be a workpiece that can be adsorbed by the magnetic member 123. As Figure 1 shown, the shape of the first workpiece 100 is sheet-like, and the height of its side is relatively small. The width of the second workpiece 200 in the embodiment of this application can be approximately equal to the side height of the first workpiece 100. As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the second workpiece 200 is formed by bending a long strip, and its shape matches the side of the first workpiece 100. For example, the second workpiece 200 can be formed by bending both ends of a strip-shaped part with a length of about 1 cm to 5 cm and a width of about 1 mm to 5 mm. Its thickness is extremely thin, and its shape is roughly the same as "冂". The assembled finished product 300 after the first workpiece 100 and the second workpiece 200 are assembled is as Figure 4 shown.
[0096] In this embodiment, the length of the magnetic suction member 123 is less than the length of the channel 122, so that the magnetic suction member 123 can move within the channel 122 to switch between a suction position close to the bearing surface 121 and a discharge position away from the bearing surface 121. The diameter of the channel 122 matches the diameter of the magnetic suction member 123, that is, the diameter of the channel 122 is approximately equal to the diameter of the magnetic suction member 123, or the diameter of the channel 122 is slightly larger than the diameter of the magnetic suction member 123. The periphery of the channel 122 can guide and limit the movement of the magnetic suction member 123.
[0097] More specifically, the magnetic suction component 123 is connected to a fourth driving component 16, used to drive the magnetic suction component 123 to switch between a material suction position and a material release position. The fourth driving component 16 is preferably a cylinder. Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown, the output end 161 of the fourth drive member 16 is eccentrically positioned with respect to the magnetic suction member 123. When the carrier 12 is in the working position, the output end 161 of the fourth drive member 16 is positioned close to the lower part of the magnetic suction member 123. This is to ensure that the fourth drive member 16 is positioned as close to the lower part as possible, thereby avoiding interference with the movement of the second workpiece 200. After the carrier 12 rotates to the waiting position, the magnetic suction member 123 can move to the unloading position, so that the first workpiece 100 can be removed.
[0098] Specifically, the supporting mechanism 1 also includes two first blocking blocks 13 slidably connected to the first mounting base 11 in the third direction P. The two first blocking blocks 13 are located on opposite sides of the carrier 12 in the third direction P. The first mounting base 11 is provided with a fourth slide rail 17 extending along the third direction P, and the first blocking blocks 13 are slidably connected to the fourth slide rail 17. Figure 8 As shown, when the carrier 12 is in the working position, the first blocking block 13 is positioned close to the lower part of the carrier 12 to avoid interference with the movement of the second workpiece 200.
[0099] like Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, the supporting mechanism 1 also includes a second blocking block 14 slidably connected to the first mounting base 11, with the second blocking block 14 facing the supporting surface 121. The first mounting base 11 is provided with a fifth slide rail 18 extending in the same direction as the through hole, and a connecting plate 110 is slidably connected to the fifth slide rail 18. The connecting plate 110 is provided with a sixth slide rail 19 extending in the fourth direction Q or the vertical direction Z, and the second blocking block 14 is slidably connected to the sixth slide rail 19. The two first blocking blocks 13 can limit the first workpiece 100 on the carrier 12 in the third direction P, and the second blocking block 14 can limit the first workpiece 100 on the carrier 12 facing the supporting surface 121. By setting the magnetic suction element 123, the first blocking block 13 and the second blocking block 14, the first workpiece 100 on the carrier 12 can be stably fixed. In particular, when the gripping mechanism 2 described below moves the second workpiece 200 to the side of the first workpiece 100, it can also ensure that the first workpiece 100 can remain fixed during the movement, thereby improving processing efficiency and yield.
[0100] In this configuration, the third direction P, the fourth direction Q, and the vertical direction Z are all mutually perpendicular. The supporting mechanism 1 can move on the second slide rail 63 or the first slide rail 67. This application does not limit the specific relationship between the third direction P, the fourth direction Q, and the first direction X and the second direction Y; different selections or designs can be made according to the setup requirements. For example, the third direction P can be parallel to the first direction X, and the fourth direction Q can be parallel to the second direction Y, or the third direction P can be parallel to the second direction Y, and the fourth direction Q can be parallel to the first direction X.
[0101] Specifically, in the fourth direction Q, the fourth slide rail 17 and the sixth slide rail 19 are located on both sides of the vehicle 12. In the third direction P, the fifth slide rail 18 and the first drive member 15 are located on both sides of the vehicle 12. Figure 9 and Figure 11 As shown, this configuration ensures a uniform overall spatial distribution, enabling stable operation and extending service life.
[0102] In this embodiment, such as Figure 12 As shown, a blocking strip 124 protrudes from the bearing surface 121 of the carrier 12, and the blocking strip 124 extends along the third direction P. When the carrier 12 is in the working position, the blocking strip 124 is positioned near the bottom of the carrier 12, which can limit the first workpiece 100 on the carrier 12 at the bottom, ensuring that the first workpiece 100 will not fall downwards.
[0103] Specifically, when the carrier 12 is in the working position, the top of the second blocking block 14 is not higher than the top of the bearing surface 121, thereby avoiding interference with the assembly of the first workpiece 100 and the second workpiece 200; the bottom of the second blocking block 14 is higher than the top of the blocking strip 124, ensuring that the entire second blocking block 14 can act on the surface of the first workpiece 100, and no extra part will interfere with the blocking strip 124.
[0104] When the carrier 12 is in the waiting position, the first workpiece 100 can be placed horizontally on the carrier 12 and limited by the magnetic suction 123, the first blocking block 13, the second blocking block 14, and the blocking strip 124; when the carrier 12 is in the working position, the side of the first workpiece 100 is set upward, which makes it easy to move the second workpiece 200 to the side of the first workpiece 100.
[0105] In this embodiment, the bending station 64 is used to move the second workpiece 200 from... Figure 2 The structure shown is bent into Figure 3 The structure shown is as follows. A bending mechanism is provided at bending station 64. The bending mechanism includes: a horizontally arranged support platform 81, a first pressure block 82 that moves vertically in the Z direction, two symmetrically arranged suction parts 3, and a third driving member 79 connected to the suction parts 3. The first pressure block 82 is located above the support platform 81.
[0106] like Figure 24 As shown, the two suction units 3 are located on either side of the support platform 81 in the second direction Y. Figure 20 As shown, the suction unit 3 includes a second driving member 31 and suction surfaces 32 for suctioning parts. The suction unit 3 has a first position and a second position. When the suction unit 3 is in the first position, the two suction surfaces 32 are arranged horizontally upwards for suctioning the second workpiece 200 before bending. When the suction unit 3 is in the second position, the two suction surfaces 32 are arranged vertically opposite each other.
[0107] At the hand-changing assembly station 65, the suction unit 3 is always in the second position. When the suction unit 3 is at the bending station 64, the suction unit 3 can be in the first position. When the suction unit 3 switches from the first position to the second position, the bending of the second workpiece 200 can be realized.
[0108] The suction surface 32 is provided with a negative pressure suction hole 33, a fixed stop 34, and a movable stop 35. The fixed stop 34 and the movable stop 35 protrude from the suction surface 32 and are spaced apart in the first direction X. The second driving member 31 is connected to the movable stop 35 and is used to drive the movable stop 35 to move in the first direction X. The third driving member 79 is used to drive the suction part 3 to rotate 90° to switch between the first position and the second position.
[0109] Because the two suction parts 3 are spaced apart in the second direction Y, and the suction surface 32 is provided with negative pressure suction holes 33, fixed blocks 34, and movable blocks 35, the second workpiece 200 can be suctioned by negative pressure through the negative pressure suction holes 33, and the second workpiece 200 can be fixed in the first direction X by the fixed blocks 34 and movable blocks 35, thus further fixing the second workpiece 200. The second workpiece 200 is fixed only by the negative pressure suction holes 33, fixed blocks 34, and movable blocks 35. These structures remain relatively stationary with respect to the second workpiece 200. Furthermore, the suction parts 3 only act on one surface of the second workpiece 200, rather than clamping both surfaces, thereby preventing damage to the second workpiece 200 and providing protection for it.
[0110] like Figure 20 As shown, there are at least two negative pressure suction holes 33, which are spaced apart in the vertical direction Z. The second workpiece 200 can be effectively suctioned by the at least two negative pressure suction holes 33, and the second workpiece 200 can be stably and reliably fixed by the fixed stop block 34 and the movable stop block 35 in the first direction X.
[0111] Specifically, the second driving component 31 is preferably a cylinder to accommodate the fixing of the second workpiece 200. When the second driving component 31 controls the movement of the moving stop 35, it is necessary to control the force exerted by the moving stop 35 on the second workpiece 200 to prevent excessive pressure on the second workpiece 200 in the first direction X, which could lead to deformation of the second workpiece 200.
[0112] like Figure 21 and Figure 22 As shown, the suction unit 3 is provided with a first air passage 36 and a second air passage 37. The first air passage 36 is connected to the second driving member 31 and is used to drive the moving end of the second driving member 31 to move in the first direction X. The second air passage 37 is connected to the negative pressure suction hole 33. The second air passage 37 includes a first portion 371 extending along the first direction X and a second portion 372 extending along the vertical direction Z. The second portion 372 is located on one side of the negative pressure suction hole 33 in the second direction Y. The first air passage 36 and the first portion 371 are spaced apart in the vertical direction Z, which makes full and reasonable use of the space of the suction unit 3 and avoids air path interference.
[0113] like Figure 20 As shown, the movable stop 35 has a connected blocking surface 351 and a clearance surface 352. The blocking surface 351 faces the fixed stop 34 and is perpendicular to the first direction X, and can cooperate with the fixed stop 34 to clamp the second workpiece 200. The clearance surface 352 is inclined, and in the direction away from the suction surface 32, the distance between the clearance surface 352 and the fixed stop 34 gradually increases, thereby... Figure 25As shown, the avoidance surface 352 can avoid the gripping mechanism 2 and prevent interference.
[0114] In this embodiment, the suction part 3 is provided with a receiving groove 38 for accommodating the second driving member 31. A second fixing block 39 for fixing the second driving member 31 is provided at the opening of the receiving groove 38 to prevent the second driving member 31 from falling out of the receiving groove 38. The end of the second fixing block 39 near the moving stop 35 in the first direction X can limit the moving stop 35.
[0115] Specifically, when the suction unit 3 is in the first position, the suction surface 32 is aligned with the bearing surface of the support table 81, facilitating the movement of the second workpiece 200 onto the support table 81 by the two suction units 3. Figure 31 As shown, when the suction part 3 is in the second position, the suction surface 32 is located below the bearing surface. At this time, the suction part 3 has driven both ends of the second workpiece 200 to rotate 90°, completing the bending operation.
[0116] In this embodiment, the bending mechanism further includes two third pressure blocks 85 that move in the second direction Y and are arranged opposite to each other. When the suction part 3 is in the second position, the suction surface 32 is located below the third pressure blocks 85, and the two third pressure blocks 85 respectively abut against the two ends of the support table 81 in the second direction Y, for applying a certain pressure to the corner of the second workpiece 200 to ensure a good bending effect. The two ends of the support table 81 in the second direction Y can be designed with rounded corners of different sizes as needed, and the side of the third pressure block 85 facing the support table 81 is correspondingly designed with a shape that matches the rounded corners, ensuring that after the third pressure block 85 presses down on the second workpiece 200, the second workpiece 200, the support table 81 and the third pressure block 85 fit tightly together.
[0117] Specifically, such as Figure 29 As shown, the bending mechanism also includes a fourth mounting base 86, on which a sixteenth slide rail 87 extending along a first direction X and a seventeenth slide rail 88 extending along a second direction Y are provided. A support platform 81 is fixedly mounted on the fourth mounting base 86. A sixth slider 89 is slidably connected to the sixteenth slide rail 87. An eighteenth slide rail 810 extending along a vertical direction Z is provided on the sixth slider 89. A first pressure block 82 is slidably connected to the eighteenth slide rail 810, so that the first pressure block 82 can move both along the vertical direction Z and along the first direction X, providing a position for placing and fixing the second workpiece 200. A third pressure block 85 is slidably connected to the seventeenth slide rail 88, so that the third pressure block 85 can move along the second direction Y. By providing the fourth mounting base 86, mounting positions can be provided for the support platform 81, the first pressure block 82, and the third pressure block 85.
[0118] like Figure 26As shown, a seventh slider 811 is slidably connected to the seventeenth slide rail 88. A nineteenth slide rail 812 extending along the second direction Y is provided on the seventh slider 811. A third pressure block 85 is slidably connected to the nineteenth slide rail 812. One end of the third pressure block 85 away from the support platform 81 is elastically connected to the seventh slider 811 via a second spring 813. The two ends of the second spring 813 in the second direction Y respectively abut against the third pressure block 85 and the seventh slider 811. By setting the nineteenth slide rail 812 and the second spring 813, the pressure exerted by the third pressure block 85 on the bent second workpiece 200 is not excessive, thus avoiding damage to the second workpiece 200.
[0119] In this embodiment, the assembly component 69 further includes a gripping mechanism 2 that cooperates with the support mechanism 1 and a second mounting base 4. For example... Figure 18 As shown, two gripping mechanisms 2 are located on either side of the supporting mechanism 1 in the third direction P, and the two gripping mechanisms 2 are symmetrically arranged. Each gripping mechanism 2 includes a gripper 21 extending along the third direction P, and a drive assembly 20 connected to the gripper 21. The gripper 21 has a gripping surface 201 for gripping the second workpiece 200, and the gripping surface 201 is perpendicular to the third direction P. The drive assembly 20 is used to drive the gripper 21 to move along the third direction P, move along the fourth direction Q, move along the vertical direction Z, rotate about the axis extending in the third direction P, and rotate about the axis extending in the vertical direction Z.
[0120] like Figure 16 As shown, the drive assembly 20 includes: a first support block 22, a second support block 23, a third support block 24, a fourth support block 25, a fifth support block 26, and a sixth support block 27. The first support block 22 is fixedly connected to the second mounting base 4. The first support block 22 has an eighth slide rail 28 extending in the fourth direction Q. The second support block 23 is slidably connected to the eighth slide rail 28. The second support block 23 has a ninth slide rail 29 extending in the third direction P. The third support block 24 is slidably connected to the ninth slide rail 29. The third support block 24 has a tenth slide rail 210 extending in the vertical direction Z. The fourth support block 25 is slidably connected to the tenth slide rail 210. The fifth support block 26 is rotatably connected to the fourth support block 25. The fifth support block 26 can rotate relative to the fourth support block 25 about an axis extending in the third direction P. The sixth support block 27 is rotatably connected to the fifth support block 26. The sixth support block 27 can rotate relative to the fifth support block 26 about an axis extending in the vertical direction Z. The gripper 21 is connected to the sixth support block 27. The fixed end of the first drive member 15 and the first support block 22 of the drive assembly 20 are fixedly connected to the second mounting base 4.
[0121] Since the gripping mechanism 2 is equipped with grippers 21 and a drive assembly 20, the two grippers 21 are arranged opposite each other in a third direction P and the gripping surface 201 is perpendicular to the third direction P. The gripping surface 201 is provided with multiple vacuum suction holes. By cooperating with the second drive member 31 and the negative pressure suction hole 33, the second workpiece 200 can be transferred from the suction part 3 to the gripping mechanism 2. The drive assembly 20 enables the grippers 21 to have at least five degrees of freedom, which can smoothly and efficiently move the second workpiece 200 to the side of the first workpiece 100.
[0122] like Figure 24 As shown, the assembly station 65 also has a twelfth slide rail 71 extending along the second direction Y. The twelfth slide rail 71 is slidably connected to a third slider 72. The third slider 72 has a thirteenth slide rail 73 extending along the first direction X. The suction unit 3 is slidably connected to the thirteenth slide rail 73, allowing the suction unit 3 to move along the first direction X and the second direction Y, thus moving closer to or further away from the carrying mechanism 1 at the assembly station 65. The two gripping mechanisms 2 at the assembly station 65 are used to grip the second workpiece 200 from the suction unit 3, realizing the loading of the bent second workpiece 200.
[0123] Specifically, such as Figure 16 and Figure 17 As shown, the sixth support block 27 is provided with an eleventh slide rail 211 extending along the third direction P, and the gripper 21 is slidably connected to the eleventh slide rail 211. The end of the gripper 21 away from the gripping surface 201 is abutted against the sixth support block 27 by a first spring 212. By setting the first spring 212 and the eleventh slide rail 211, excessive pressure can be avoided on the side of the first workpiece 100 when the gripper 21 grips the second workpiece 200 during installation.
[0124] In this embodiment, a second pressing block 74 is also provided above the carrier 12. At the hand-changing assembly station 65, after the gripping mechanism 2 moves the second workpiece 200 to the side of the first workpiece 100, the second pressing block 74 is moved above the upward-facing side of the first workpiece 100 and pressed down, which can fix the second workpiece 200 and the first workpiece 100 together, facilitating the next curing process. Figure 18 and Figure 19 As shown, the second mounting base 4 is provided with a fourteenth slide rail 77 extending along the fourth direction Q. The fourteenth slide rail 77 is slidably connected to a fourth slider 75. The fourth slider 75 is provided with a fifteenth slide rail 78 extending along the vertical direction Z. The fifteenth slide rail 78 is slidably connected to a fifth slider 76. The second pressing block 74 is fixedly connected to the fifth slider 76, so that the second pressing block 74 can move in the fourth direction Q and the vertical direction Z.
[0125] Specifically, a third mounting base 710 is slidably connected to the thirteenth slide rail 73. The suction unit 3 and the third drive member 79 are connected to the third mounting base 710, so that the suction unit 3 and the third drive member 79 as a whole can move along the second direction Y to transport the second workpiece 200 before and after bending; the suction unit 3 and the third drive member 79 as a whole can also move along the first direction X to approach or move away from the carrying mechanism 1 at the hand-changing assembly station 65 in the first direction X.
[0126] In this embodiment, at the hand-changing assembly station 65, the suction unit 3 can move the second workpiece 200 bent by the bending mechanism along the second direction Y to the gripping mechanism 2, and the gripping mechanism 2 can move the second workpiece 200 to the side of the first workpiece 100 on the carrier 12.
[0127] In this embodiment, a curing mechanism 5 is provided on the curing station 66 for curing the adhesive between the assembled first workpiece 100 and the second workpiece 200. Figures 32 to 34 As shown, the curing mechanism 5 includes: a first fixing block 51, a mounting block 52, and multiple curing lamps 53.
[0128] The first fixing block 51 is slidably connected to the third slide rail 68. The first fixing block 51 is provided with a seventh slide rail 511 extending vertically in the Z direction. The mounting block 52 is slidably connected to the seventh slide rail 511. Multiple curing lamps 53 are disposed on the mounting block 52. Figure 34 As shown, the curing lamp 53 extends along the fifth direction G. The curing lamp 53 is connected to the mounting block 52 via a connecting assembly; the connecting assembly includes a first connecting block 54, a second connecting block 55, a third connecting block 56, a fourth connecting block 57, and a fifth connecting block 58, which are sequentially and detachably fixedly connected. The first connecting block 54 is slidably connected to the mounting block 52 in the sixth direction H, and the curing lamp 53 is slidably connected to the fifth connecting block 58 in the fifth direction G. Under the action of the second connecting block 55, the third connecting block 56, the fourth connecting block 57, and the fifth connecting block 58, the curing lamp 53 slides relative to the mounting block 52 in the seventh direction I, rotates around the sixth direction H, rotates around the seventh direction I, and rotates around the eighth direction J. The sixth direction H intersects the fifth direction G, and the sixth direction H is perpendicular to the vertical direction Z. The seventh direction I is perpendicular to the sixth direction H, and the eighth direction J is perpendicular to the seventh direction I.
[0129] In this embodiment, the multiple curing lamps 53 are symmetrical about the central plane 510, which simplifies the overall structure of the curing mechanism 5. For example... Figure 33 As shown, the central plane 510 is parallel to the vertical direction Z and the sixth direction H.
[0130] Specifically, the first connecting block 54 is provided with a first adjusting groove 541 extending along the sixth direction H. The first connecting block 54 is detachably connected to the mounting block 52 by a first fastener passing through the first adjusting groove 541. By adjusting the position of the first fastener in the first adjusting groove 541 in the sixth direction H, the position of the curing lamp 53 in the sixth direction H can be adjusted. That is, the curing lamp 53 can slide relative to the mounting block 52 in the sixth direction H.
[0131] The second connecting block 55 is provided with a second adjusting groove 551 extending along the seventh direction I. The second connecting block 55 is detachably connected to the first connecting block 54 by a second fastener passing through the second adjusting groove 551. By adjusting the position of the second fastener in the second adjusting groove 551 in the seventh direction I, the position of the curing lamp 53 in the seventh direction I can be adjusted. That is, the curing lamp 53 can slide relative to the mounting block 52 in the seventh direction I.
[0132] Furthermore, the fifth connecting block 58 is provided with a through hole extending along the fifth direction G for accommodating the curing lamp 53. By moving the curing lamp 53 along the fifth direction G to make the through hole contact different positions of the curing lamp 53, the position of the curing lamp 53 in the fifth direction G can be adjusted, that is, the curing lamp 53 can slide relative to the mounting block 52 in the fifth direction G. Thus, the fifth connecting block 58, the first connecting block 54, and the second connecting block 55 can respectively enable the curing lamp 53 to slide relative to the mounting block 52 in the fifth direction G, the sixth direction H, and the seventh direction I.
[0133] Specifically, the third connecting block 56 is provided with a first adjustment hole 561 extending along the sixth direction H. The third connecting block 56 is rotatably connected to the second connecting block 55 by a third fastener passing through the first adjustment hole 561. By loosening the third fastener and rotating the third connecting block 56 around the sixth direction H to the desired position, and then fixing the third fastener, the angle of rotation of the curing lamp 53 around the sixth direction H can be adjusted. That is, the curing lamp 53 can be rotated relative to the mounting block 52 in the sixth direction H.
[0134] The fourth connecting block 57 is provided with a second adjustment hole extending along the seventh direction I. The fourth connecting block 57 is rotatably connected to the third connecting block 56 by a fourth fastener passing through the second adjustment hole. By loosening the fourth fastener and rotating the fourth connecting block 57 around the seventh direction I to the desired position, and then fixing the fourth fastener, the angle of rotation of the curing lamp 53 around the seventh direction I can be adjusted. That is, the curing lamp 53 can be rotated relative to the mounting block 52 in the seventh direction I.
[0135] The fifth connecting block 58 is provided with a third adjustment hole extending along the eighth direction J. The fifth connecting block 58 is rotatably connected to the fourth connecting block 57 via a fifth fastener passing through the third adjustment hole. By loosening the fifth fastener and rotating the fifth connecting block 58 around the eighth direction J to the desired position, and then fixing the fifth fastener, the angle of rotation of the curing lamp 53 around the eighth direction J can be adjusted. That is, the curing lamp 53 can rotate relative to the mounting block 52 in the eighth direction J. Thus, the third connecting block 56, the fourth connecting block 57, and the fifth connecting block 58 can respectively enable the curing lamp 53 to rotate relative to the mounting block 52 around the sixth direction H, the seventh direction I, and the eighth direction J.
[0136] It should be noted that the first, second, third, fourth and fifth fasteners are preferably threaded connections.
[0137] exist Figure 34 In the middle, the seventh direction I is parallel to the vertical direction Z. That is, for the partially curing lamp 53, the second connecting block 55 in its connecting assembly is vertically arranged, so that the second adjusting groove 551 extends along the vertical direction Z. However, as Figure 32 As shown, in order to save space and maximize the number of curing lamps 53 within a small space to achieve better curing results, the second connecting block 55 in the connecting assembly of some curing lamps 53 is horizontally positioned, that is, the seventh direction I is perpendicular to the vertical direction Z. The sixth direction H and the eighth direction J are both perpendicular to the seventh direction I, that is, the sixth direction H and the eighth direction J are two intersecting directions in a plane perpendicular to the seventh direction I.
[0138] The curing mechanism 5 provided in this embodiment, by setting a first fixed block 51 with a seventh slide rail 511, slides the mounting block 52 in the vertical direction Z to the first fixed block 51, thereby avoiding misalignment during workpiece movement. After the assembled bearing mechanism 1 carrying the first workpiece 100 and the second workpiece 200 moves to the curing station 66, the mounting block 52 is moved down for curing, ensuring that the workpiece can move smoothly between various stations. By setting multiple curing lamps 53, and the curing lamps 53 are connected to the mounting block 52 by connecting components including a first connecting block 54, a second connecting block 55, a third connecting block 56, a fourth connecting block 57, and a fifth connecting block 58, the curing lamps 53 can slide relative to the mounting block 52 in the fifth direction G, the sixth direction H, the seventh direction I, rotate around the sixth direction H, rotate around the seventh direction I, and rotate around the eighth direction J. That is, the curing lamps 53 have at least six degrees of freedom, thereby flexibly adjusting the orientation of each curing lamp 53 and optimizing the curing effect. Furthermore, since the curing lamp 53 has multiple degrees of freedom, as many curing lamps 53 as possible can be set in a limited space to achieve a better curing effect and make full use of the space.
[0139] In one specific embodiment, the number of curing lamps 53 is 12. In other embodiments, the number of curing lamps 53 can be 10 to 16.
[0140] like Figure 32 and Figure 33 As shown, the multiple curing lamps 53 include two vertically downward-facing first curing lamps 531 and two horizontally positioned second curing lamps 532. The second curing lamps 532 extend parallel to the central plane 510 and extend along the ninth direction K. The ninth direction K is perpendicular to the vertical direction Z and parallel to the central plane 510. The curing lamps 53 on the same side of the central plane 510 have different orientations. In the ninth direction K, the multiple curing lamps 53 are located in different planes. In the vertical direction Z, the multiple curing lamps 53 are located in different planes. The staggered arrangement of the multiple curing lamps 53 allows for more comprehensive curing of the workpiece.
[0141] Specifically, among the multiple curing lamps 53, there are also two third curing lamps 533 located at the bottom. The bottom of the mounting block 52 is provided with a twentieth slide rail 521 extending along the ninth direction K. The twentieth slide rail 521 is connected to a connecting slider 59, and the first connecting blocks 54 of the two third curing lamps 533 are slidably connected to both ends of the connecting slider 59 along the ninth direction K. By adjusting the position of the third curing lamps 533 along the ninth direction K, better alignment and interference can be achieved.
[0142] In a specific application scenario, the first workpiece 100 and the second workpiece 200 to be assembled are fed through the first production line 61 and the second production line 62, respectively. For the first workpiece 100 on the first production line 61, the dispensing mechanism 9 first applies glue to its side, and then the first workpiece 100 is moved to the assembly component 69 on the second slide rail 63. The carrying mechanism 1 of the assembly component 69 fixes and limits the first workpiece 100 through the magnetic suction component 123, the first blocking block 13, the second blocking block 14, and the blocking strip 124. The assembly component 69 moves on the second slide rail 63 to below the first slide rail 67, and then the assembly component 69 is moved to the hand-changing assembly station 65.
[0143] For the second workpiece 200 on the second production line 62, at the bending station 64, the suction unit 3 first picks up and fixes the strip-shaped second workpiece 200 to be bent; then, by moving on the twelfth slide rail 71, the suction unit 3 moves the second workpiece 200 to a position opposite to the support table 81, and by moving on the thirteenth slide rail 73, the second workpiece 200 is brought close to the support table 81 and finally the middle part is placed on the support table 81. The first pressure block 82 moves in the first direction X and the vertical direction Z to press the second workpiece 200 onto the support table 81. The third drive unit 79 drives the suction unit 3 to rotate 90°, and then the third pressure block 85 moves in the second direction Y to press the bent part of the second workpiece 200 onto the support table 81. After a predetermined time, the third pressure block 85 moves away, and the suction unit 3 drives the bent second workpiece 200 away from the support table 81 and moves it on the fifth slide rail 18 to the hand-changing assembly station 65.
[0144] At the hand-changing assembly station 65, the suction unit 3 moves along the twelfth slide rail 71 to move the second workpiece 200 to a position opposite to the carrier 12 of the carrying mechanism 1, and moves along the thirteenth slide rail 73 to bring the second workpiece 200 close to the first workpiece 100 on the carrier 12. Then, driven by the gripping assembly, the gripper 21 approaches the bending assembly, and through the cooperation of the gripping surface 201 with the second driving member 31 and the negative pressure suction hole 33, the second workpiece 200 can be transferred from the suction unit 3 to the gripping mechanism 2, completing the hand-changing process. Driven by the gripping assembly, the gripper 21 moves the second workpiece 200 to the side of the first workpiece 100 on the carrier 12, and finally moves the second pressure block 74 above the installed second workpiece 200, so that the second workpiece 200 and the first workpiece 100 are in contact.
[0145] Subsequently, assembly component 69 slides from the first slide rail 67 to the second slide rail 63, moving assembly component 69 onto the second slide rail 63. Assembly component 69 continues to move on the second slide rail 63, cooperating with the curing station 66 on the third slide rail 68, i.e., the first workpiece 100 and the second workpiece 200, after bonding, arrive at the curing station 66. After the curing mechanism 5 completes curing, assembly component 69 moves the assembled finished product 300 along the second slide rail 63 to one end near the first production line 61. The assembled finished product 300 is moved onto the first material tray 400. After the first material tray 400 is full of assembled finished products 300, it is removed from the assembly line assembly device.
[0146] On three second slide rails 63, the assembly component 69 on one of the second slide rails 63 is located on the third slide rail 68 near the end of the first assembly line 61, for loading the first workpiece 100 and unloading the assembled finished product 300. The assembly component 69 on another second slide rail 63 is located below the first slide rail 67, for transferring the assembly component 69 containing the first workpiece 100 to the hand-changing assembly station 65, and for transferring the assembly component 69 with the first workpiece 100 and the second workpiece 200 assembled on the hand-changing assembly station 65 to the second slide rail 63. The assembly component 69 on yet another second slide rail 63 is located below the third slide rail 68, for curing the first workpiece 100 and the second workpiece 200. Because there are three second slide rails 63, the assembly components 69 on the three second slide rails 63 can perform different processes, greatly improving assembly efficiency. This assembly line assembly device rationally arranges the workstations of each process in the assembly process, allowing each workstation to work simultaneously, reducing waiting time and maximizing assembly efficiency.
