Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of production equipment technology, specifically a fully automatic pencil sharpener assembly machine. Background Technology
[0002] A pencil sharpener is a tool specifically designed for cutting pencils. Through the combination of a built-in blade and a rotating mechanism, the blade evenly cuts the wooden outer shell and lead of the pencil. Most pencil sharpeners also have a shavings collection box to collect the wood shavings and lead fragments produced during cutting, making it easy to clean and keeping the environment tidy.
[0003] In the production process of pencil sharpeners, the rotating structure consists of two or more gears, screws, etc. During assembly, the gears and screws need to be fixed in the appropriate positions to complete the assembly. In some existing technologies, the assembly process of the rotating structure is completed manually by the operator. However, manual installation relies on manual alignment and assembly of each part, which can easily lead to low production efficiency. Moreover, the installation force and angle control of different workers are different, which may produce certain errors and further reduce the standardization level of the product. Therefore, a fully automatic pencil sharpener assembly machine is proposed to address the above problems. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the problems mentioned in the background section, this invention provides a fully automatic pencil sharpener assembly machine, which solves the problems of existing technologies requiring manual assembly by operators, resulting in low efficiency and a high risk of errors.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a fully automatic pencil sharpener assembly machine, comprising a workbench, and further comprising: a feeding mechanism disposed outside the workbench; an assembly mechanism disposed on the workbench; and a conveying module disposed on the top outer wall of the workbench; The assembly mechanism includes a first clamping mechanism, a first detection module fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the workbench, a second clamping mechanism fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the workbench, a second detection module fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the workbench, a third clamping mechanism fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the workbench, a clamping module fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the workbench, and a third detection module fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the workbench.
[0006] Preferably, the feeding mechanism includes a material tray, and a first electric push rod is fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the worktable.
[0007] Preferably, the outer wall of the conveying module contacts the workpiece housing, the outer wall of the workpiece housing is provided with a first gear, the outer wall of the workpiece housing is provided with a second gear, and the outer wall of the workpiece housing is provided with a screw.
[0008] Preferably, a second electric push rod is fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the worktable, and the position of the first clamping mechanism corresponds to that of the second electric push rod.
[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: This invention features an assembly mechanism. After the workpiece shell is conveyed to the conveying module by the feeding mechanism, it sequentially passes through the first clamping mechanism, the second clamping mechanism, the third clamping mechanism, and the clamping module to complete the installation of the first gear, the second gear, and the two sets of screws. The installation is then confirmed to be in place by the first detection module, the second detection module, and the third detection module. This allows for fully automatic assembly, eliminating the need for manual assembly by operators and avoiding errors such as incomplete assembly. Furthermore, the automatic assembly process requires no operator intervention, resulting in a high degree of automation and improved production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0012] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0013] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the present invention provides a fully automatic pencil sharpener assembly machine, including a workbench 100, and further including: a feeding mechanism 200, which is disposed outside the workbench 100; an assembly mechanism 300, which is disposed on the workbench 100; and a conveying module 400, which is disposed on the top outer wall of the workbench 100. The assembly mechanism 300 includes a first clamping mechanism 301, a first detection module 303 fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the workbench 100, a second clamping mechanism 304 fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the workbench 100, a second detection module 305 fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the workbench 100, a third clamping mechanism 306 fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the workbench 100, a clamping module 307 fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the workbench 100, and a third detection module 308 fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the workbench 100; a second electric push rod 302 fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the workbench 100, and the positions of the first clamping mechanism 301 and the second electric push rod 302 correspond to each other.
[0014] like Figure 7 As shown, the outer wall of the conveying module 400 contacts the workpiece housing 500, the outer wall of the workpiece housing 500 is provided with a first gear 501, the outer wall of the workpiece housing 500 is provided with a second gear 502, and the outer wall of the workpiece housing 500 is provided with a screw 503.
[0015] The above scheme employs the following: Assembly mechanism 300 performs fully automated installation of workpiece housing 500 and its accessories. From feeding, assembly, inspection, and unloading, no operator intervention is required, resulting in a high degree of automation and significantly improving production efficiency. It also avoids the errors and wasted manpower that can occur with manual assembly. First clamping mechanism 301 clamps first gear 501 and pushes it onto workpiece housing 500 via the movable end of second electric push rod 302. After installation, conveying module 400 transports it to below first inspection module 303, where a vision inspection system checks its installation to confirm it is securely installed. Then, it is transported to below second clamping mechanism 304, which clamps second gear 502 and places it on workpiece housing 500 for installation. Finally, it is transported to below second inspection module 305 to confirm its installation is complete and that it meshes with first gear 501.
[0016] After inspection, the workpiece is conveyed to the lower part of the third clamping mechanism 306. The third clamping mechanism 306 has two sets of screws 503, which can respectively fix the left and right sets of screws 503 onto the workpiece housing 500. Both ends of the screws 503 are secured to the workpiece housing 500. During installation of the third clamping mechanism 306, simply insert one end of the screw 503 into the pin hole of the workpiece housing 500. Figure 7 As shown, the other end of the screw 503 is located above the clamping rod on the workpiece housing 500. After both sets of screws 503 are installed, the workpiece housing 500 and its accessories are transported to the bottom of the clamping module 307. The screw 503 is pushed inward by the clamping jaws on both sides of the clamping module 307. The screw 503 moves along the top arc surface of the clamping rod, tilts as a whole, and then resets under its own rigid elastic force, so that its other end is stuck in the circular groove of the clamping rod. The installation of the screw 503 is completed. Then the conveying module 400 continues to convey and discharge the material to complete the overall automatic assembly operation.
[0017] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the feeding mechanism 200 includes a material tray 201, and a first electric push rod 202 is fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the worktable 100.
[0018] Using the above scheme: The material tray 201 and the first electric push rod 202 are both existing technologies. The material tray 201 contains multiple sets of workpiece shells 500 to be assembled. After the material tray 201 transports the workpiece shells 500, the first electric push rod 202 pushes them out onto the conveying module 400 for transport and assembly.
[0019] Working principle and usage process of this invention: First, the feeding mechanism 200 is started, and the material tray 201 conveys the workpiece shell 500 according to the preset program. When the workpiece shell 500 reaches the designated position, the movable end of the first electric push rod 202 pushes the workpiece shell 500 out and onto the conveying module 400, which then conveys the workpiece shell 500.
[0020] The workpiece housing 500 is first conveyed to the bottom of the first clamping mechanism 301. The first clamping mechanism 301 clamps the first gear 501 and places it on the workpiece housing 500. Then, the second electric push rod 302 pushes the first gear 501 to secure it on the workpiece housing 500. Next, the workpiece housing 500 is sent to the bottom of the first detection module 303 to detect and confirm whether the first gear 501 is securely installed.
[0021] After passing the inspection, the workpiece housing 500 is transported to the lower part of the second clamping mechanism 304, where the second gear 502 to be installed is clamped and placed on the workpiece housing 500 to complete the installation. After installation, it is transported to the lower part of the second inspection module 305 to check and confirm whether the second gear 502 is installed in place. After passing the inspection, it enters the screw 503 assembly stage.
[0022] The workpiece housing 500 is conveyed to the lower part of the third clamping mechanism 306. The third clamping mechanism 306 first inserts one end of the screw 503 into the corresponding pin hole of the workpiece housing 500. The other end of the screw 503 is located above the clamping rod on the workpiece housing 500, and the whole is in an inclined state. After the two sets of screws 503 have completed the initial installation, the workpiece housing 500 and its accessories are sent to the lower part of the clamping module 307. The clamping jaws on both sides of the clamping module 307 push the screw 503 inward. The two sets of screws 503 move to the middle along the arc surface at the top of the clamping rod, and then reset under their own rigid elastic force, so that the other end of the screw 503 is accurately locked in the circular groove of the clamping rod, completing the stable installation of the screw 503.
[0023] After the screw 503 is installed, the conveying module 400 will transport the finished product out of the assembly area of the workbench 100. At this point, the fully automatic pencil sharpener assembly machine completes a complete automatic assembly process. The entire process does not require operator intervention and can continuously cycle through the assembly of multiple sets of pencil sharpeners, greatly improving production efficiency.
