Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of ambient lighting assembly equipment technology, specifically to an ambient lighting assembly production line and an ambient lighting assembly method. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of the automotive industry and the increasing demands of consumers for intelligent and personalized vehicles, in-car ambient lighting systems have gradually become an important feature of mid-to-high-end models. Traditional automotive door handle ambient lights are mostly assembled manually or semi-automatically. The typical process involves manually assembling components such as LED light sources, light guides, lenses, circuit boards, and housings, and then fixing them using methods such as adhesive application, screw fastening, or clip connections. Manual operation is susceptible to subjective factors, leading to poor product consistency and low yield rates. Furthermore, manual assembly is slow and inefficient, failing to meet the high demands of modern automotive manufacturing for production efficiency and product quality. As the level of automation in manufacturing continues to increase, automated production lines have become key to enhancing enterprise competitiveness. Based on this, we have developed an ambient lighting assembly production line. Summary of the Invention

[0009] Furthermore, the ultrasonic welding mechanism includes an ultrasonic welding machine mounted on a workbench, and a multi-axis carrier robot mounted on the ultrasonic welding machine.

A film application mechanism is mounted on the drive end of the film application cylinder, and the film application mechanism is equipped with a pressure sensor to control the holding pressure. A plasma film application cleaning mechanism is mounted on the drive end of the film application cleaning cylinder.
[0013] The ambient light assembly method utilizes an ambient light assembly production line. Manual personnel place the lampshade, lamp housing, and wiring harness into their corresponding parts within the ambient light carrier. The carrier is then loaded onto a circular conveyor line at the loading and inspection station. A CCD camera checks the lampshade and housing to ensure proper loading and correct positioning. When the carrier moves to the laser marking mechanism, a laser engraving machine laser-etches a QR code onto the lamp housing. Upon reaching the product cleaning mechanism, a scanning mechanism scans the QR code, binding the data information for that station. A sealed protective cover then descends onto the carrier, and an ionizer cleans the lampshade and housing. The wiring harness is cleaned to facilitate subsequent work at the workstations. When the ambient light carrier moves to the lampshade assembly station, the scanning mechanism first scans the QR code, and the wiring harness CCD camera detects whether the wiring harness is in the slot and whether there is a light guide strip. Then, the lampshade flipping mechanism moves to the top of the lampshade, and the lampshade is flipped 180° by the lampshade contouring suction head. Then, the lampshade mounting mechanism uses the lampshade contouring suction head to pick up the lampshade, and the lampshade mounting mechanism moves the lampshade to the top of the lamp housing and installs the lampshade on the lamp housing. When the ambient light carrier moves to the ultrasonic welding mechanism station, the scanning mechanism first scans the QR code, and the multi-axis carrier robot moves the ambient light carrier to the ultrasonic welding machine for welding. The lampshade and housing are fused together to form an airtight seal. After welding, a multi-axis robotic arm transports the ambient light carrier to a circular conveyor line. When the carrier moves to the plasma cleaning station, a barcode scanner scans the QR code, and the plasma cleaning device moves to the glue-filling area on the carrier to clean it. When the carrier moves to the glue-filling and curing station, the barcode scanner scans the QR code, the dispensing head moves to the glue-filling area, and an electronic scale measures the amount of glue injected. When the amount of glue injected reaches the set amount, the glue-filling stops. The first and second glue-filling transmission mechanisms work together to... The V-curing lamp cures the glue applied in the potting area, which seals the wiring holes between the lampshade and the lamp housing. When the ambient light carrier moves to the glue height and airtightness testing station, the scanning mechanism scans the QR code first. The glue height and airtightness testing mechanism then tests the glue height in the ambient light potting area and the overall airtightness of the ambient light. Ambient lights that fail the test are marked, and the information is recorded in the QR code. When the ambient light carrier moves to the glue height defective product classification station, the scanning mechanism scans the QR code first. If the QR code indicates that the glue height of the product is unqualified, the glue height defective product classification mechanism will pick up the corresponding ambient light and place it in the corresponding defective product collection box.When the ambient light carrier moves to the breathable membrane application station, the barcode scanning mechanism scans the QR code first. The plasma film application and cleaning mechanism descends to clean the breathable membrane application area. Then, the film application CCD camera moves to the feeder to take pictures and guide the mold-taking mechanism on the film-taking cylinder to pick up the breathable membrane and stick it to the application area, maintaining pressure. The pressure is controlled by a pressure sensor. After pressure maintenance, the film application CCD camera checks whether the breathable membrane is properly applied. After the inspection, the ambient light carrier exits and enters the next station. When the ambient light carrier moves to the electrical and optical inspection station, the barcode scanning mechanism scans the QR code first. The electrical and optical inspection mechanism ensures that the ambient light carrier is in a darkroom inspection environment. The probe energizing mechanism and the energized probe mechanism in the electrical and optical inspection mechanism perform electrical and optical inspections. After the inspection is completed, the ambient light carrier... Products flowing from the electrical and optical inspection mechanisms proceed to the next workstation. When the ambient light carrier moves to the defective product sorting station, the barcode scanning mechanism scans the QR code. Based on the ambient light inspection results, the defective product sorting station categorizes products into different categories: those with electrical defects (electrically), optical defects (optically), airtightness, and breathable membrane defects. Products that pass inspection flow out of the defective product sorting station and proceed to the next workstation. When the ambient light carrier moves to the manual unloading mechanism, the ambient light is manually removed and visually inspected for scratches, defects, etc. Products without defects are packaged, and the ambient light carrier flows out to the next workstation.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention are: by configuring the necessary mechanisms for each process around the circular conveyor line, and through the automatic flow and system operation of each mechanism, this product realizes the assembly line production of door handle ambient lights, greatly reducing manual intervention and significantly improving the production efficiency of door handle ambient lights.
[0015] The MES system and automated equipment enable full-process data monitoring and quality traceability; the laser marking mechanism laser-etches a unique QR code on the lamp housing, and a scanning mechanism is set up at each workstation to bind the data of each process (glue height, air tightness, electrical inspection, light inspection lamp) to the QR code, so as to realize the quality traceability of the door handle ambient light product throughout its entire life cycle.
[0016] An airtight sealing structure is formed by ultrasonic welding, and the amount of glue poured into the dispensing area is precisely controlled by an electronic scale for weighing glue. The rapid curing by a UC curing lamp ensures the reliability of the seal in critical parts. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0019] like Figures 1 to 15The illustrated ambient lighting assembly line provides a fully automated production line for assembling and inspecting ambient lighting fixtures for door handles, improving production efficiency and product yield. The ambient lighting assembly line includes a workbench 15 and a circular conveyor line 16 mounted along the length of the workbench 15. The circular conveyor line 16 serves as the core carrier for transporting ambient lighting fixtures 17, and includes a guide rail system, positioning devices, and an ambient lighting support system. Driven and driven wheels are located on the inner sides of both ends of the guide rail system. The drive wheel is connected to a servo motor, which drives the drive wheel to rotate, thereby propelling the ambient lighting fixtures 17 forward on the circular conveyor line 16, enabling the flow of ambient lighting fixtures between workstations. Several ambient lighting fixtures 17 are mounted on the circular conveyor line 16, ensuring that each workstation has a corresponding ambient lighting fixture for processing. The ambient light carrier 17 serves as the reference platform for product assembly. It includes a carrier base plate 18, on which are provided a lampshade contouring seat 19 and a lamp housing contouring seat 20. The lampshade contouring seat 19 houses the lampshade, and the lamp housing contouring seat 20 positions the lamp housing with its wiring harness installed. To facilitate subsequent electrical and optical testing of the product, a power-on probe mechanism 21 is provided on the carrier base plate 18, on the side of the lamp housing contouring seat 20 furthest from the lampshade contouring seat 19. Simultaneously, a handle elastic fixing member 22 is provided on the same side as the power-on probe mechanism 21. The handle elastic fixing member 22 is used to elastically connect and fix the wiring harness terminals of the ambient light to the power supply terminals of the power-on probe mechanism 21, thereby ensuring stable power supply during electrical testing and preventing poor contact.
[0020] Based on the above, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, along the circular conveyor line 16 on the workbench 15, the following are sequentially arranged: a material feeding and inspection mechanism 1, a laser marking mechanism 2, a product cleaning mechanism 3, a lampshade assembly mechanism 4, an ultrasonic welding mechanism 5, a plasma cleaning mechanism 6, a glue-pouring and curing mechanism 7, a glue height and airtightness inspection mechanism 8, a glue height defective product sorting mechanism 9, a breathable film application mechanism 10, an electrical and optical inspection mechanism 11, a defective product sorting mechanism 12, a manual unloading mechanism 13, and a carrier cleaning mechanism 14. Each mechanism completes the corresponding process on the corresponding ambient light or ambient light carrier 17.
[0021] Based on the above, such as Figure 3As shown, the loading and inspection mechanism 1 includes a loading frame 23 mounted on the workbench 15, a loading moving mechanism 24 mounted on the loading frame 23, and a loading CCD camera 25 mounted on the loading moving mechanism 24. The loading moving mechanism 24 includes a loading base mounted on the loading frame 23, a loading guide rail mounted on the loading base, a loading slider that works with the loading guide rail, a loading camera mounting bracket mounted on the loading slider, and a loading drive mechanism that drives the loading camera mounting bracket to move on the slider. Before the loading and inspection mechanism 1, the workers have already placed the lampshades, lamp housings, and wire harnesses in their corresponding positions on the ambient light carrier 17. The workers then place the ambient light carrier 17, which contains all the items, onto the circular conveyor line at the loading and inspection mechanism 1. The loading CCD camera 25 inspects the lampshades, lamp housings, and wire harnesses on the ambient light carrier 17 to check for any missing items and to ensure that their positions are correct, thus preventing missing or incorrect parts and improving the efficiency of the production line.
[0022] Based on the above, such as Figure 4 As shown, the laser marking mechanism 2 includes a laser frame 26 mounted on the workbench 15 and a laser engraving machine 27 mounted on the laser frame 26. The laser engraving machine 27 is used to laser engrave a unique QR code on the ambient light lamp housings that flow to this workstation. The QR code is used to collect data on the entire product line and serves as the data carrier for the entire lifecycle of the ambient light product with that ID. Through scanning by barcode scanners at subsequent workstations, the data on the entire range of ambient light products with that ID can be collected and bound, enabling quality traceability.
[0023] Based on the above, such as Figure 5 As shown, the product cleaning mechanism 3 includes a cleaning frame 28 mounted on the workbench 15, a cleaning lifting mechanism 29 mounted on the cleaning frame 28, and a sealed protective cover 30 mounted on the cleaning lifting mechanism 29. Multiple ion air bars and an equal number of ion generators are installed inside the sealed protective cover 30. The bottom of the sealed protective cover 30 is open, and a dust suction port 31 is provided on the side of the sealed protective cover 30. The cleaning lifting mechanism 29 includes a cleaning lifting cylinder and a slide rail and slider that work in conjunction with the cleaning lifting cylinder. A cleaning protective cover fixing bracket 57 is installed at the drive end of the cleaning lifting cylinder, connecting the sealed protective cover 30 to the cleaning protective cover. During operation, a flow meter and a vacuum cleaner are also installed at the dust suction port 31. The cleaning lifting mechanism 29 drives the sealed protective cover 30 to descend and cover the ambient light carrier 17. The ion air bars generate ion wind to remove static electricity and blow out dust. Through the combination of a sealed environment and ion dust removal, the cleanliness of the lamp cover, lamp housing, and wiring harness is ensured, providing a qualified surface environment for subsequent welding and potting processes.
[0024] Based on the above, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the lampshade assembly mechanism 4 includes a wire harness detection CCD camera 32 for detecting whether the wire harness has come loose, a lampshade flipping mechanism parallel to the forward direction of the ambient light carrier 17, and a lampshade mounting mechanism perpendicular to the forward direction of the ambient light carrier 17. The wire harness detection CCD camera 32 detects the wire harness, which can prevent the wire harness from getting stuck or damaged during assembly. The lampshade flipping mechanism includes two lampshade flipping frames, a lampshade flipping shaft connecting the two frames, and a lampshade flipping motor 33 driving the shaft. A lampshade contouring suction head is mounted on the shaft. The lampshade mounting mechanism includes a lampshade mounting frame 34, a lampshade screw drive mechanism mounted on the frame 34, a lampshade mounting movable seat 35 mounted on the screw drive mechanism, a lampshade mounting vertical lifting cylinder 36 mounted on the seat 35, and a lampshade contouring suction head mounted on the drive end of the cylinder. The suction head is connected to the cylinder's drive end via a suction head bracket. The screw drive mechanism drives the cylinder 36 to move horizontally. The suction head has four suction cups. The lampshade flipping mechanism and the lampshade mounting movable seat 35 are arranged parallel to each other, and this combined layout maximizes space utilization for precise lampshade installation.
[0025] Based on the above, such as Figure 8 As shown, the ultrasonic welding mechanism 5 includes an ultrasonic welding machine 37 mounted on the worktable 15, and a multi-axis carrier robot 38 mounted on the ultrasonic welding machine 37. The multi-axis carrier robot 38 transports the ambient light carrier 17 from the circular conveyor line 16 to the ultrasonic welding machine 37 for welding, and then transports it back to the circular conveyor line 16 after welding. This offline welding design avoids the impact of welding vibration on the accuracy of the circular conveyor line 16, while ensuring a stable welding environment and ensuring that the lampshade and lamp housing fuse to form a high-quality, airtight seal structure.
[0026] Based on the above, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the plasma cleaning mechanism 6 includes a plasma frame 39 mounted on the worktable 15, a first plasma transmission mechanism 40 mounted on the plasma frame 39, a plasma fixing plate 41 mounted on the first plasma transmission mechanism 40, a second plasma transmission mechanism 42 mounted on the plasma fixing plate 41, a plasma fixing seat 43 mounted on the second transmission mechanism, and a plasma cleaning device 44 mounted on the plasma fixing seat 43. Through horizontal and vertical transmission coordination, the plasma cleaning device is driven to precisely move to the glue-filling area for cleaning. Cleaning the glue-filling area before glue filling improves the adhesion of the glue and the sealing effect after glue filling.
[0027] Based on the above, such as Figure 11As shown in the figure, the glue pouring and curing mechanism 7 includes a glue pouring frame 45 mounted on the workbench 15, and a glue weighing electronic scale 46 mounted on the workbench 15. A glue pouring assembly is mounted on the glue pouring frame 45, and the glue pouring assembly includes a first glue pouring transmission mechanism 47 mounted on the glue pouring frame 45, a second glue pouring transmission mounting plate 48 mounted on the first glue pouring transmission mechanism 47, a second glue pouring transmission mechanism 49 mounted on the second glue pouring transmission mounting plate 48, and a vertical glue pouring transmission plate 50 mounted on the second glue pouring transmission mechanism 49. A glue dispensing head 51 and a UV curing lamp 52 are mounted on the vertical glue pouring transmission plate 50. The first glue pouring transmission mechanism 47 drives the second glue pouring mounting plate to move, and the second glue pouring transmission mechanism 49 drives the glue dispensing head 51 and the UV curing lamp 52 to move. The second glue pouring transmission mounting plate 48 is perpendicular to the first glue pouring transmission mechanism 47. The electronic scale can monitor in real time the amount of glue injected into the glue pouring area through the glue dispensing head 51 to ensure the accuracy of the glue injection amount. Combined with the rapid curing of the UV curing lamp 52, efficient sealing is achieved, and production efficiency is improved.
[0028] On the basis of the above, as Figure 1 shown in the figure, the glue height and air tightness detection mechanism 8 is used to detect the glue height in the glue pouring area, and it is qualified that the glue height is between the lowest surface and the highest surface of the glue pouring area. The air tightness detection is mainly to detect the air tightness inside the ambient light cavity, so as to prevent moisture, dust and the like from entering the interior of the ambient light. For ambient lights with unqualified detected glue height or unqualified air tightness, the information is bound through the two-dimensional code on the ambient light housing. The glue height and air tightness detection mechanism 8 includes a glue height and air tightness frame, and a glue height and air tightness transmission mechanism mounted on the glue height and air tightness frame. A driving end of the glue height and air tightness transmission mechanism is mounted with a glue height and air tightness detection fixing plate, and a glue height detection mechanism and an air tightness detection mechanism are mounted on the glue height and air tightness detection fixing plate.
[0029] On the basis of the above, as Figure 12 shown in the figure, it further includes a glue height defective product sorting mechanism 9 used in cooperation with the glue height and air tightness detection mechanism 8. For the unqualified products detected by the glue height and air tightness detection mechanism 8, after the two-dimensional code is injected, the unqualified products will be picked up from the ambient light carrier 17 by the servo motor clamping jaw 58 for glue height defective products at the sorting mechanism, and placed into the glue height defective product storage frame 59. The ambient light products that have passed the detection are transferred to the next station through the annular transmission line. The glue height defective product sorting mechanism 9 includes a glue height defective product frame 53, a glue height defective product transmission mechanism 54 mounted on the glue height defective product frame, a glue height defective product gripping and clamping fixing plate 55 mounted on the glue height defective product transmission mechanism 54, a glue height defective product vertical driving cylinder 56 mounted on the glue height defective product gripping fixing plate, and a glue height defective product servo motor clamping jaw 58 mounted on the glue height defective product vertical driving cylinder 56. The glue height defective product servo motor clamping jaw 58 is connected to the driving end of the glue height defective product vertical driving cylinder 56 through a fixing frame 57.
[0030] Based on the above, such as Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, the breathable film application mechanism 10 includes a feeder 60 mounted on a workbench 15, a film application frame 61 mounted on the workbench 15, a first film application transmission mechanism 62 mounted on the film application transmission mechanism 62, a second film application transmission plate 63 mounted on the first film application transmission mechanism 62, and a second film application transmission mechanism mounted on the second film application transmission plate 63. A vertical film application mounting plate 64 is mounted on the second film application transmission mechanism. A film application CCD camera, a film application cylinder, and a film application cleaning cylinder are mounted on the vertical film application mounting plate 64. A film application mechanism 65 is mounted on the drive end of the film application cylinder. The film application mechanism 65 is equipped with a pressure sensor, which can control the holding pressure and ensure a firm application without backpressure damaging the ambient light product. A plasma film application cleaning mechanism 66 is mounted on the drive end of the film application cleaning cylinder. Before applying the breathable membrane, the application area is cleaned using the plasma membrane cleaning mechanism 66 to enhance adhesion. The membrane application CCD camera guides the high-precision material picking and application, ensuring the reliability of the breathable membrane application.
[0031] Based on the above, such as Figure 1 As shown, because the electrical and optical inspection mechanisms 11 need to be performed in a dark environment, they are equipped with a darkroom. The necessary testing equipment for electrical and optical inspection is installed inside the darkroom to test the electrical and optical performance of the product. First, the electrical probe mechanism 21 on the ambient light carrier 17 is energized for electrical inspection; if the ambient light illuminates, the electrical inspection is successful. Optical inspection is performed using imaging colorimetry.
[0032] Based on the above, such as Figure 1 As shown, the defective product sorting mechanism 12 includes a storage box for collecting defective products and a defective product gripping assembly for removing defective products from the ambient light carrier 17. The defective product gripping assembly mainly includes a defective product gripping frame, a Y-axis transmission mechanism mounted on the frame, an X-axis transmission mechanism mounted on the Y-axis transmission mechanism, and a Z-axis transmission mechanism mounted on the X-axis. A defective product gripping mechanism for picking up defective products is mounted on the Z-axis transmission mechanism. Through their coordinated operation, precise gripping of defective products is achieved. Qualified products flow directly from this station to the next station.
[0033] Based on the above, such as Figure 15 As shown, the manual unloading mechanism 13 is equipped with a protective frame 68, which has a manual loading port 69 and a carrier channel 70 for the ambient light carrier 17 on the ring conveyor line to enter and exit. When the ambient light carrier 17 is transported to the manual unloading mechanism 13, the manual staff removes the ambient light for visual inspection, checking for scratches, damage, etc. on the product surface. Ambient lights without scratches or damage are packaged and boxed.
[0034] Based on the above, the structure of the carrier cleaning mechanism 14 is the same as that of the product cleaning mechanism 3. The carrier cleaning mechanism 14 cleans the ambient light carrier 17 to facilitate manual loading of materials for the next round of recycling.
[0035] The ambient light assembly method utilizes an ambient light assembly production line. Manual personnel place the lampshade, lamp housing, and wiring harness of the ambient light into their corresponding parts within the ambient light carrier 17. The carrier 17 is then loaded onto the circular conveyor line 16 at the loading and inspection station 1. A loading CCD camera 25 inspects the lampshade and lamp housing to ensure proper loading and correct positioning. When the carrier 17 moves to the laser marking station 2, a laser engraving machine 27 laser-engraves a QR code on the lamp housing. When the carrier 17 moves to the product cleaning station 3, a scanning mechanism scans the QR code, binding the data information of that station.
