[0002] The laptop casing serves as the assembly platform for various laptop components and is one of the most important parts of a laptop. With the increasing prevalence and application of industrial automation, the requirements for automated production of laptop assemblies are becoming increasingly stringent. Laptop casings have complex structures and are generally machined using CNC technology. After machining, the casing undergoes surface coating treatment, is assembled into casing tooling, and then sent to the assembly line for the overall manufacturing of the laptop.
[0003] After the laptop casings mounted on the casing fixture are manually removed by the workers, they are assembled in the next process. During the manual removal of the laptop casings, the different intensity of the work can cause scratches on the surface of the laptop casings, which affects product quality. At the same time, in order to improve the production efficiency of laptops, multiple workstations need to be set up for assembly. Therefore, the laptop casings mounted on the casing fixture need to be transported to different holes, which also leads to high labor intensity in logistics and transportation.

Detailed Implementation
[0021] 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, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. 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.
[0022] Before providing a further detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention, the directional terms used in the embodiments of the present invention, such as "upper part", "lower part" and "side part", are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0023] To make the technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0024] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, one embodiment of the present invention provides a conveying device for a notebook computer casing, the conveying device comprising: Lifting assembly 100; Tooling component 200 is disposed on lifting component 100 and is configured to move on lifting component 100. Tooling component 200 is used to hold the laptop shell. The frame assembly 300 is configured to support the drive assembly 400 and the belt conveyor assembly 500; The drive component 400 is mounted on the rack component 300; The belt conveyor assembly 500 is mounted on the drive assembly 400. The drive assembly 400 provides the belt conveyor assembly 500 with the power to move, so that the belt conveyor assembly 500 moves on the frame assembly 300 into the tooling assembly 200 and removes the notebook casing from the tooling assembly 200.
[0025] The conveying device includes a lifting assembly 100, a tooling assembly 200, a frame assembly 300, a drive assembly 400, and a belt conveyor assembly 500. The tooling assembly 200 is mounted on the lifting assembly 100. The lifting assembly 100 moves the tooling assembly 200 up and down, allowing for height adjustment of laptop casings at different heights within the tooling assembly 200, enabling the laptop casings to contact the belt conveyor assembly 500. The frame assembly 300 supports the drive assembly 400 and the belt conveyor assembly 500. The belt conveyor assembly 500 is connected to the drive assembly 400 and controls its movement on the frame assembly 300, reciprocating within and outside the frame. The belt conveyor assembly 500 contacts the laptop casings on the tooling assembly 200, removes the laptop casings from the tooling assembly 200, and moves them to the desired position. This system prevents scratches on the laptop casings caused by operator error, ensuring product quality stability. At the same time, it can reduce cumbersome logistics and transportation. By matching the belt conveyor component 500 with the automatic conveyor line, the laptop casing can be moved to the required work station, improving production efficiency and reducing the labor intensity of the staff.
[0026] In one feasible implementation, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the lifting assembly 100 includes a mounting base assembly 110, a linear module 120, and a lifting assembly 140. The linear module 120 is mounted on the mounting base assembly 110. The mounting base assembly supports the linear module 120 and the lifting assembly 140. The lifting assembly 140 is configured to move up and down on the linear module 120, thereby driving the tooling assembly 200 to move. The lifting assembly 140 is also used to clamp the tooling assembly 200.
[0027] Specifically, the mounting base assembly 110 includes a flat plate 111, a base plate 112, a first reinforcing plate 113, and a first vertical mounting plate 114. The base plate 112 is fixedly mounted on one end of the flat plate 111, and the two sides are aligned. The first vertical mounting plate 114 is fixedly mounted on the side of the base plate 112 aligned with the flat plate 111 by bolts. Since the contact area between the first vertical mounting plate 114 and the base plate 112 is small, a pair of first reinforcing plates 113 are provided between the base plate 112 and the first vertical mounting plate 114. The pair of first reinforcing plates 113 strengthens the connection strength between the base plate 112 and the first vertical mounting plate 114, which facilitates the reliability and stability of the support of the first vertical mounting plate 114 for subsequent components. The linear module 120 is fixedly mounted on the first vertical mounting plate 114.
[0028] Furthermore, such as Figure 3As shown, in the linear module 120, a first motor mounting plate 122 and a third mounting plate 132 are fixedly mounted at both ends of the module base 301123 in the height direction. A first bearing seat 125 and a second bearing seat 131 are disposed between the first motor mounting plate 122 and the third mounting plate 132, and the second bearing seat 131 is fixedly connected to the third mounting plate 132. A certain distance is left between the second bearing seat 131 and the first motor mounting plate 122 to facilitate the accommodation of the output shaft of the servo motor 121. Two first guide rails 127 are arranged opposite to each other between the first bearing seat 125 and the second bearing seat 131, and two first sliders 129 are respectively disposed on the two first guide rails 127. The two ends of the lead screw 126 are connected to the bearing inner holes of the first bearing housing 125 and the second bearing housing 131, respectively. The fixed end of the servo motor 121 is located on the side of the first motor mounting plate 122 away from the third mounting plate 132. The output shaft of the servo motor 121 passes through the first motor mounting plate 122 and is connected to the lead screw 126 that passes through the first bearing housing 125 through the coupling 124. The lead screw 126 is provided with a nut 128, which is threadedly connected to the lead screw 126. The module slide 130 is fixedly mounted on the nut 128. At the same time, the module slide 130 is also fixedly connected to two first sliders 129, which can be bolted or snap-fitted. In this way, the servo motor 121 drives the lead screw 126 to rotate, thereby driving the nut 128 to move on the lead screw 126, realizing the movement of the module slide 130 on the lead screw 126. The two first sliders 129 make the movement of the module slide 130 more stable and reliable. The dust cover 133 is fastened to the module base 301123, the first motor mounting plate 122, and the third mounting plate 132 to prevent the lead screw 126 and the first slider 129 from being exposed and allowing dust to fall in, which would affect the smooth movement of the module slide 130. At this time, the side of the module slide 130 away from the nut 128 must pass through the dust cover 133, that is, the dust cover is provided with a moving slot to facilitate the smooth movement of the module slide 130 on the dust cover 133. At the same time, a photoelectric switch is provided on the dust cover 133. When the belt conveyor assembly 500 moves into the working assembly, the photoelectric switch receives a signal and controls the belt conveyor assembly 500 to stop moving. That is, the extreme position control of the belt conveyor assembly 500 is achieved through the photoelectric switch. The lifting assembly 140 is fixedly connected to the module slide 130 exposed outside the dust cover 133. That is, the lifting assembly 140 is driven by the servo motor 121 to move in the height direction of the linear module 120, thereby enabling the tooling component 200 to move the notebook shell on it in the height direction of the linear module 120.
[0029] For example, such as Figure 2As shown, in the lifting assembly 140 structure, a top plate 142 and a second mounting plate 150 are fixedly connected to both ends of the lifting plate 141 in the height direction. A first cylinder 143 is provided on the side of the top plate 142 facing the second mounting plate 150. A cylinder mounting plate 146 is fixedly provided at the telescopic end of the first cylinder 143. Second cylinders 144 are provided at both ends of the cylinder mounting plate 146 in the length direction. The telescopic ends of the second cylinders 144 are away from the direction of the first cylinders 143, that is, the telescopic direction of the first cylinder 143 is perpendicular to the telescopic direction of the second cylinders 144. A clamping plate 145 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the second cylinders 144. When the pair of second cylinders 144 extend, the pair of clamping plates 145 move away; when the pair of second cylinders 144 retract, the pair of clamping plates 145 move closer. Meanwhile, when the second cylinder 144 is at its maximum stroke, a gap is left between the clamping plate 145 and the lifting plate 141 to avoid interference between the clamping plate 145 and the lifting plate 141, which would affect the normal use of the lifting assembly 140. A pair of second reinforcing plates 151 are set on the side of the second mounting plate 150 away from the top plate 142. The second reinforcing plates 151 are used to strengthen the connection strength between the lifting plate 141 and the second mounting plate 150, so as to improve the subsequent load-bearing strength of the tooling assembly 200. Two first mounting plates 149 are set on the side of the second mounting plate 150 facing the top plate 142. The two second mounting plates 150 are arranged opposite each other. Two support plates 148 are L-shaped and symmetrically arranged on the outside of the two first mounting plates 149. A limiting plate 147 is set at the end of the support plate 148 away from the first mounting plate 149, and the limiting plate 147 is located on the side of the support plate 148 facing the top plate 142. The tooling assembly 200 is placed on the support plate 148 and limited by two limiting plates 147. The space formed between the support plate 148 and the second limiting plate facilitates the placement and removal of the tooling assembly 200. After the tooling assembly 200 is placed, the first cylinder 143 extends and retracts until the cylinder mounting plate 146 contacts the working component. Then, the second cylinder 144 drives the clamping plate 145 to clamp the upper end of the working component, thereby achieving the clamping of the tooling assembly 200 by the lifting assembly 140, which facilitates the subsequent removal of the laptop shell from the tooling assembly 200.
[0030] In one feasible implementation, such as Figure 4 As shown, the tooling assembly 200 includes an upper base plate 201, a lower base plate 202, and multiple columns 203 disposed between the upper base plate 201 and the lower base plate 202. Multiple stops 204 are provided in the height direction of the columns 203, and the distance between two adjacent stops 204 is equal. The laptop shell is inserted between two adjacent stops 204.
[0031] It should be noted that multiple pillars 203 form an opening, which is configured to accommodate the laptop casing. In other words, this embodiment uses six pillars 203. One pillar 203 is set at each of the four corners of the upper base plate 201 and the lower base plate 202, and the remaining two pillars 203 are installed between two adjacent pillars 203. Thus, the side opposite to the four pillars 203 is the opening side, which is the side where the laptop casing is placed.
[0032] Understandably, the stop 204 can be made of rubber to prevent scratching the laptop casing when clamping it. By using multiple adjacent stops 204 to clamp the laptop casing, the stability of clamping the laptop casing can be improved.
[0033] In one feasible implementation, such as Figure 5 As shown, the frame assembly 300 includes a base 301, a bracket 302, a horizontal mounting plate 303, a fourth mounting plate 304, a first belt support plate 305, a first oblong hole 306, and a second oblong hole 307. Two support brackets are located at both ends of the base 301 along its length, extending from the opening of the tooling assembly 200 away from the opening. The horizontal mounting plate 303 is located at the end of the bracket 302 away from the base plate 112. Two fourth mounting plates 304 are fixedly located on both sides of the horizontal mounting plate 303 along its width, with the fourth mounting plates 304 located at the end of the horizontal mounting plate 303 away from the tooling assembly 200. A first belt support plate 305 is provided on one side opposite to the two fourth mounting plates 304, extending from the fourth mounting plates 304 towards the tooling assembly 200. The horizontal mounting plate 303 has two first oblong holes 306 and two second oblong holes 307. The length of the two first oblong holes 306 is greater than the length of the two second oblong holes 307. The first oblong holes 306 are located near one end of the tooling assembly 200, and the second oblong holes 307 are located near one end of the fourth mounting plate 304. The first oblong holes 306 and the second oblong holes 307 facilitate the installation of subsequent components. The frame assembly 300 is used to support the subsequent drive assembly 400 and belt conveyor assembly 500.
[0034] In one feasible implementation, such as Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the drive assembly 400 includes a belt drive assembly 410, a pulley mounting assembly 430, and a power source drive assembly 450. The belt drive assembly 410 can drive the belt conveyor assembly 500 to reciprocate between the direction of approach to the tooling assembly 200 and the direction of away from the tooling assembly 200; the pulley mounting assembly 430 can support the long belt 506 on the belt conveyor assembly 500, so that the long belt 506 can remove the notebook casing from the tooling assembly 200; the power source drive assembly 450 provides power to the pulley mounting assembly 430 and the belt conveyor assembly 500.
[0035] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the belt drive assembly 410 includes a first stepper motor 411, a second motor mounting plate 412, a first active synchronous belt 413, a first tension plate 414, a first bolt 415, a synchronous belt pressure plate 416, a connecting drive plate 417, a first synchronous belt 418, a first driven shaft 419, a first driven synchronous belt 420, and a moving slide 421. The first stepper motor 411 is mounted on the second motor mounting plate 412, and the output shaft of the first stepper motor 411 passes through the second motor mounting plate 412. The second motor mounting plate 412 is mounted below the horizontal mounting plate 303 through a second oblong hole 307. The first active synchronous belt 413 is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the first stepper motor 411. The upper surfaces of a pair of tension plates are mounted on the horizontal mounting plate 303. The first bolt 415 on the first tension plate 414 is connected to the protrusion of the second motor mounting plate 412 and extends away from the protrusion. The first driven shaft 419 is installed on the end of the horizontal mounting plate 303 away from the fourth mounting plate 304. A first driven synchronous belt 420 is rotatably mounted on the first driven shaft 419. The first synchronous belt 418 is sleeved on the first active synchronous belt 413 and the first driven synchronous belt 420. One side of the first synchronous belt 418 is fitted between the synchronous belt pressure plate 416 and the connecting drive plate 417. The movable slide 421 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting drive plate 417 away from the first synchronous belt 418. The movable slide 421 is then connected to the belt conveyor assembly 500. The rotation of the first stepper motor 411 drives the first synchronous belt 418 to rotate, which in turn drives the connecting drive plate 417, the movable slide 421, and the belt conveyor assembly 500 on the first synchronous belt 418 to move, thus achieving the effect of the belt conveyor assembly 500 moving inside and outside the tooling assembly 200. It is understandable that the first tensioning plate 414 and the first bolt 415 are used to tension the first synchronous belt 418 to ensure the stability and reliability of the transmission of the first synchronous belt 418. The tensioning of the belt is a common technical solution in this field and will not be described in detail.
[0036] Furthermore, such as Figure 7As shown, the pulley mounting assembly 430 includes a third bearing housing 431, a fourth bearing housing 432, a first pulley shaft 433, a first pulley 434, a fifth mounting plate 435, a second guide rail 436, a second slider 437, a second pulley shaft 438, a second pulley 439, a sixth mounting plate 440, a seventh mounting plate 441, a third pulley shaft 442, and a third pulley 443. The two ends of the first pulley shaft 433 are respectively installed in the bearing holes of the third bearing housing and the fourth bearing housing 432. A first pulley 434 is mounted on the first pulley shaft 433 at one end of the fourth bearing housing 432. The third bearing housing 431, the fourth bearing housing 432, the fifth mounting plate 435, the second guide rail 436, and the sixth mounting plate 440 are all positioned above the horizontal mounting plate 303. The second guide rail 436 has a fifth mounting plate 435 and a sixth mounting plate 440 at its two ends along its length. The second slider 437 is configured to move on the second guide rail. The connecting drive plate 417 is fixedly connected to the side of the second slider 437. The second slider 437 is fixedly provided with a movable slide 421. It can be understood that the connecting drive plate 417 passes through the first waist-shaped hole 306 and is fixedly connected to the second slider 437 above the horizontal mounting plate 303. The first waist-shaped hole 306 is relatively long, which can match the travel of the belt conveyor assembly 500. Two second pulley shafts 438 are mounted on the movable slide 421 and located on both sides of the second guide rail 436 in the width direction. A second pulley 439 is mounted on the end of each second pulley shaft 438 away from the movable slide 421. A pair of seventh mounting plates 441 are fixedly mounted on both ends of the sixth mounting plate 440, and the two seventh mounting plates 441 are located on both sides of the second guide rail 436 in the width direction. A third pulley shaft 442 is mounted on the side of each seventh mounting plate 441 away from the second guide rail 436, and a third pulley 443 is mounted on the end of the third pulley shaft 442 away from the seventh mounting plate 441. This configuration provides support for the subsequent belt conveyor assembly 500.
[0037] Furthermore, such as Figure 8As shown, the power source drive assembly 450 includes a second stepper motor 451, a third motor mounting plate 452, a second active synchronous belt 453, a second synchronous belt 454, a second driven synchronous belt 455, a second tension plate 456, and a second tension bolt 457. The second stepper motor 451 passes through the third motor mounting plate 452, which is fixedly connected to the bracket 302 of the frame assembly 300. The second stepper motor 451 is positioned between the two brackets 302. The second tension plate 456 is disposed on the outer side of the horizontal mounting plate 303, and the second tension bolt 457 passes through the second tension plate 456 and contacts the upper surface of the third motor mounting plate 452. The output shaft of the second stepper motor 451 is equipped with a second active synchronous belt 453, and a second driven synchronous belt 455 is disposed at one end of the shaft 433 of the first pulley 434 of the third bearing housing 431. The second synchronous belt 454 is sleeved on the second active synchronous belt 453 and the second driven synchronous belt 455. The rotation of the second stepper motor 451 drives the rotation of the second synchronous belt, which in turn drives the shaft 433 of the first pulley 434 to rotate, providing driving force for the subsequent long belt 506. The second tensioning plate 456 and the second tensioning bolt 457 are used to tension the second synchronous belt 454, ensuring its effective transmission. Belt tensioning is a common technique in this field and will not be described in detail here.
[0038] In one feasible implementation, such as Figure 9 As shown, the belt conveyor assembly 500 includes a conveyor plate 501, pressure sensors 502, a second belt support plate 503, a fourth pulley 504, a fourth pulley shaft 505, and a long belt 506. The first end of the conveyor plate 501 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the movable slide 421. Two pressure sensors 502 are mounted on the conveyor plate 501, and two belt support plates 148 are mounted at both ends of the conveyor plate 501 in the width direction, located at the end of the conveyor plate 501 furthest from the movable slide 421. Two fourth pulleys 504 and shafts 505 are located at both ends of the conveyor plate 501 in the width direction and on the side of the second belt support plate 503 away from the movable slide table 421. A fourth pulley 504 is located at the end of the fourth pulley shaft 505 away from the conveyor plate 501. A long belt 506 is worn over the first pulley 434, the second pulley 439, the third pulley 443, and the fourth pulley 504. The two long belts 506 are located in the width direction of the conveyor plate 501, thus forming a two-long-belt 506 transmission circuit. Figure 10As shown, the distance between the two long belts 506 is less than the width of the laptop casing, thus providing support for the laptop casing. Simultaneously, the contact friction between the long belts 506 and the laptop casing is greater than the contact friction of the laptop within the stop 204. This allows the long belts 506 to disengage from the laptop casing, enabling the laptop casing to be disengaged from the stop 204 and thus transported. Specifically, the second stepper motor 451 drives the second synchronous belt 454, which in turn drives the second driven synchronous belt 455 and the first pulley shaft 433. The rotation of the first pulley shaft 433 drives the long belts 506 through the first pulley 434, second pulley 439, third pulley 443, and fourth pulley 504, achieving smooth transmission with multiple supports for the long belts 506. The first belt support plate 305 and the second belt support plate 503 provide support for the long belts 506, improving their stability and reliability.
[0039] In this embodiment, the tooling assembly 200 containing the laptop shell is placed on the support plate 148. The limiting plates 147 on both sides of the support plate 148 act as a barrier for the tooling assembly 200. The first cylinder 143 drives the cylinder mounting plate 146 to move downward and contact the upper base plate 201 in the tooling assembly 200. The two second cylinders 144 drive the two clamping plates 145 to move closer together and clamp the upper base plate 201 of the tooling assembly 200, thus ensuring the stability of the tooling assembly 200. Then, the first stepper motor 411 operates, driving the first synchronous belt 418 to move towards the tooling assembly 200. The connecting drive plate 417, the second slider 437, and the moving slide 421, mounted on the first synchronous belt 418, move along the second guide rail 436 towards the tooling assembly 200. This, in turn, drives the conveyor plate 501 and the second pulley 439, mounted on the moving slide 421, to move together towards the tooling assembly 200 until the distance between the conveyor plate 501 and the photoelectric switch meets the set requirements. At this point, the first stepper motor 411 stops operating. The belt conveyor assembly 500 reaches the interior of the tooling assembly 200, meaning the conveyor plate 501 is located on the lower surface of the bottom layer of the notebook casing in the tooling assembly 200. The second stepper motor 451 is activated, driving the second synchronous belt 454 to rotate, which in turn causes the first pulley 434 shaft 433 to rotate, driving the two long belts 506 to rotate away from the working components. At this time, the bottommost laptop casing in the tooling assembly 200 is moved out from between the stops 204 by the long belts 506 and transported to the corresponding production line station. The pressure sensor 502 on the conveyor plate 501 can detect whether the laptop casing is still on the long belts 506. After the bottommost laptop casing is transported, the servo motor 121 drives the lead screw 126 to rotate, causing the module slide 130 to move downward a certain distance. The tooling assembly 200 mounted on the module slide 130 also moves downward a certain distance. At this time, the second to last layer of laptop casings comes into contact with the long belts 506, and the laptop casings of this layer are transported to the required station by the long belts 506. The above steps are repeated until all the laptop casings in the tooling assembly 200 are transported by the long belts 506. After the laptop casing in the tooling assembly 200 is conveyed, the second stepper motor 451 stops, the long belt 506 stops rotating, the first stepper motor 411 flips, driving the conveyor plate 501 back to the initial position, the second cylinder 144 extends, the pair of clamping plates 145 move away, the first cylinder 143 retracts, and the cylinder mounting plate 146 leaves the upper base plate 201 of the tooling assembly 200. A new tooling assembly 200 with a laptop casing is then replaced, and the above steps are repeated.
[0040] It is understandable that, such as Figure 10As shown, when the conveyor plate 501 moves towards the tooling assembly 200, the second pulley 439 and the fourth pulley 504 move together, but the length of the long belt 506, which is wrapped around the first pulley 434, the second pulley 439, the third pulley 443, and the fourth pulley 504, remains unchanged. That is, the long belt 506 starts from the second pulley 439, passes through the third pulley 443, the first pulley 434, and the fourth pulley 504, and then returns to the second pulley 439. As the second pulley 439 and the fourth pulley 504 move with the conveyor plate 501, the distance between different sections of the long belt 506 changes, but the overall length remains constant. In other words, although the fourth pulley 504 is further away from the first pulley 434, the distance between the third pulley 443 and the second pulley 439 decreases, so the overall length of the long belt 506 remains the same. Therefore, the movement of the conveyor plate 501 does not affect the tension of the long belt 506.
[0041] The tooling assembly 200, linear module 120, belt drive assembly 410, pulley mounting assembly 430, and belt conveyor assembly 500 enable the notebook casings in the tooling assembly 200 to sequentially contact the long belt 506 and be transported to the corresponding workstations on the production line via the transmission of the long belt 506. This conveying device can automatically transport notebook casings to each workstation, improving production efficiency, reducing the labor intensity of workers, and ensuring the stability of product quality. Furthermore, this conveying device is highly adaptable and easy to promote and apply.
