[0024] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1 to 15 The present invention will be described in further detail, but this is not intended to limit the invention.

[0025] like Figure 1 and 2As shown in Figure 10, in one embodiment of the present invention, the assembly equipment for the automotive lighting component includes a frame 100, a first loading device 200, a second loading device 300, a gripping and transferring device 400, an assembly conveying device 500, and a laser marking device 800; the first loading device 200 is connected to the frame 100 and is used for loading other accessories of the lighting component; the second loading device 300 is connected to the frame 100 and is used for loading the circuit board of the lighting component; the assembly conveying device 500 includes a third transverse drive 510 and an assembly base 520; the mounting end of the third transverse drive 510 is connected to the frame 100; the assembly base... 520 is connected to the movable end of the third transverse drive 510, and the assembly base 520 is provided with an assembly cavity 521; the mounting end of the gripping and transferring device 400 is connected to the frame 100; the gripping end of the gripping and transferring device 400 is located between the feeding end of the first feeding device 200 and the assembly cavity 521 and / or between the second feeding device 300 and the assembly cavity 521; the mounting end of the laser marking device 800 is connected to the frame 100; and the laser end of the laser marking device 800 is located on the transverse conveying path of the third transverse drive 510 and is located above the assembly base 520. When the lighting element is a 313D-DL lamp head, other accessories of the lighting element may include a bottom shell and a top cover. When the lighting element is a 313D-DN lamp head, other accessories of the lighting element may include a bottom shell, a top cover, and a light-transmitting element, etc.

[0026] The technical solution of the present invention uses a gripping and transfer device with a single gripping source to sequentially transfer other accessories of the lighting component conveyed by the first feeding device and the circuit board of the lighting component conveyed by the second feeding device to the assembly cavity. Combined with the lateral conveying of the third lateral drive and the laser marking action of the laser marking device, the lighting component is assembled and processed during the gradual movement and conveying process; thereby improving the smoothness of the assembly process and improving the assembly efficiency.

[0027] Specifically, in some implementations, such as Figure 1 and 2As shown, there are at least two first feeding devices 200, arranged side-by-side sequentially along the conveying direction of the third transverse drive 510; the first feeding device 200 is used for feeding and conveying the bottom shell, top cover, or light-transmitting component; there is one second feeding device 300; and the feeding ends of the first feeding device 200 and the second feeding device 300 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the conveying direction of the third transverse drive 510; the gripping and transfer device 400 is located in the conveying direction of the third transverse drive 510; to further improve the compactness of the feeding operation module, gripping module, and assembly conveying module, and to ensure the smoothness and stability of the operation. The conveying direction of the third transverse drive 510 is the OY axis direction.

[0028] Specifically, in some implementations, such as Figure 2 and 3 As shown, the first feeding device 200 includes a first support 230, a vibrating feeding plate 210, and a receiving component 220. The first support 230 is connected to the frame 100. The vibrating feeding plate 210 and the receiving component 220 are both connected to the first support 230. The vibrating feeding plate 210 is used to transport feeding bottom shells, top covers, and light-transmitting components, etc. The receiving component 220 is provided with a receiving groove 224. The feeding port of the vibrating feeding plate 210 is connected to the receiving groove 224. This structure receives individual bottom shells, top covers, and light-transmitting components through the receiving groove 224 for gripping operation by the gripping and transfer device 400, thereby improving the stability and orderliness of feeding.

[0029] In some implementation methods, such as Figure 3 and 4 As shown, the receiving component 220 includes a first transverse drive 221, a first movable seat 222, and a receiving seat 223. The first transverse drive 221 is connected to the first bracket 230 and is drivenly connected to the first movable seat 222. The receiving seat 223 is connected to the first movable seat 222, and the receiving groove 224 is disposed on the receiving seat 223. (Not shown in the figure) The first bracket 230 is also provided with a first guide rail; the receiving seat 223 is sleeved on the first guide rail to further improve the stability of the push. Furthermore, the first transverse drive 221 is selected as a first transverse drive cylinder or a first transverse drive electric lead screw. This structure, driven by the first transverse drive cylinder or the first transverse drive electric lead screw, enables the receiving of individual bottom shells, top covers, and light-transmitting components. After receiving these components, the portion of the receiving seat 223 without the receiving groove 224 is used to block the feeding port, thereby further improving the stability of the feeding.

[0030] Among them, the vibratory feeder 210 can be a vibratory feeder of model FF100 / FF200 / FF300 / FF400 / FF500 or Vibrat-150 / 240 / 380 / 560, etc.; of course, the vibratory feeder, the first transverse drive cylinder or the electric lead screw of the first transverse drive can be selected according to the actual application process and have the same function, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0031] Specifically, in some implementations, such as Figure 2 and 5 As shown, the second feeding device 300 includes a second support 310, a lifting feeding mechanism 320, and a side limiting mechanism 330.

The lifting feeding mechanism 320 is connected to the second support 310, and the lifting end of the lifting feeding mechanism 320 extends along the height direction of the placement cavity and is disposed inside the placement cavity. The side limiting mechanism 330 is connected to the second support 310 and is connected to the side of the placement cavity in the circumferential direction. This structure, through the lifting action of the lifting feeding mechanism 320, enables the circuit boards to be lifted and transported upwards in an orderly manner, and prevents the circuit boards from detaching under the action of the side limiting mechanism 330, thereby improving the stability and orderliness of the feeding.

[0032] Specifically, in some implementations, such as Figure 5 and 6 As shown, the side limiting mechanism 330 includes a second transverse drive member 331 and a side limiting plate 332. The second transverse drive member 331 is connected to the second bracket 310 and is drivenly connected to the side limiting plate 332. The side limiting plate 332 is disposed at the opening of the placement cavity. The second transverse drive member 331 is selected from either a first transverse drive cylinder or a first transverse drive electric screw. Since the sizes of the trays containing circuit boards vary, the second transverse drive member 331 is needed to increase or decrease the clamping space between the two different side limiting plates 332, thereby improving the stability and adaptability of the loading process. Of course, the second transverse drive cylinder or the second transverse drive electric screw can be selected based on the actual application and has the same function; therefore, no specific limitations are made here.

[0033] Specifically, in some implementations, such as Figure 5 and 6As shown, the lifting and feeding mechanism 320 includes a lifting drive, a lifting plate 326, and a second infrared sensor 327. The lifting drive is connected to the second bracket 310 and driven to the lifting plate 326, so that the lifting plate 326 circulates along the height direction of the placement cavity. The mounting end of the second infrared sensor 327 is connected to the second bracket 310 and is disposed inside the placement cavity. The second infrared sensor 327 is located along the circulatory path of the lifting plate 326. This structure determines the size and quantity of the tray containing the circuit board by the infrared detection light feedback result of the second infrared sensor 327, thereby increasing or decreasing the clamping space between the two different side limiting plates 332, thus improving the stability and adaptability of the feeding. Of course, the second infrared sensor 327 can be selected from devices with the same function in actual application, and is not limited here. In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the lifting drive component includes a lifting drive motor 321, at least two transmission wheels 322, a lifting sleeve 323, a lifting connecting plate 324, a connecting rod 325, and a drive shaft 328.

[0034] Specifically, in some implementations, such as Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the frame 100 is also equipped with at least two recycling limit rods 301; all recycling limit rods 301 are arranged around each other to form a recycling cavity 302; the recycling cavity 302 is arranged side by side with the second feeding device 300. After the circuit board is fed, the gripping and transferring device 400 grips and transfers the tray without circuit boards to the recycling cavity 302 to realize the waste discharge operation, thereby helping to ensure the orderly lifting and feeding of circuit boards.

[0035] Specifically, in some implementations, such as Figure 1 and7 As shown, the gripping and transferring device 400 includes a spatial drive component 410, a first clamping component 430, a second clamping component 440, and a third clamping component 450.

The mounting ends of the first clamping component 430, the second clamping component 440, and the third clamping component 450 are respectively connected to the movable end of the spatial drive component 410, so that the first clamping component 430, the second clamping component 440, and the third clamping component 450 move along the XYZ axis. This structure, under the action of a single drive source, simultaneously performs clamping and transferring operations on multiple different accessories, thereby improving the compactness of the overall structure and also improving the stability and efficiency of loading. The spatial drive component 410 is a six-axis robotic arm; of course, a six-axis robotic arm with the same function can be selected according to the actual application, and is not limited here.

In some embodiments, such as... Figure 7 and 8As shown, the rotary drive component 420 includes a rotary drive motor 421 and a first mounting plate 422 connected to each other; and the rotary drive motor 421 is connected to the spatial drive component 410; the first clamping component 430, the second clamping component 440, and the third clamping component 450 are respectively connected to the first mounting plate 422. Further, the rotary drive motor 421 is selected as a stepper motor; of course, stepper motors can be selected from devices with the same function in actual application, and are not limited here. In some embodiments, such as... Figure 8 As shown, the product sensing component 460 includes a first lighting lamp 461 and a first infrared sensor 462. The first lighting lamp 461 is connected to the first mounting plate 422. The mounting end of the first infrared sensor 462 passes through the light source area of ​​the first lighting lamp 461 and is connected to the first mounting plate 422. The sensing end of the first infrared sensor 462 faces the upper surface of the frame 100. In use, the first infrared sensor 462 senses the accessories of the lighting components at different loading positions, and then drives the corresponding first clamping component 430, second clamping component 440, and third clamping component 450 to realize their respective gripping and transfer operations, thereby improving the accuracy and orderliness of the operation.

This structure achieves dual detection by combining the continuity testing device 600 to test the continuity performance of the circuit board before assembly with the upper view acquisition device 700 to collect and detect the assembly status of the lighting components.
