Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of automotive parts assembly, and more particularly to a universal assembly machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the manufacturing process of automotive parts, the assembly of male and female clips is usually completed by a first set of dedicated clip assembly equipment, while the assembly of clip components and foam gaskets requires a second set of independent assembly equipment or manual assembly.

[0003] Since the aforementioned snap-fit ​​assembly equipment is not designed to share performance with the sponge gasket assembly process, its operational functions cannot cover the sponge gasket assembly process. Therefore, in actual production, at least two independent production equipment must be put into operation simultaneously: one for snapping the male and female snaps together, and the other for assembling the snap-fit ​​components and sponge gaskets.

[0004] The aforementioned parallel production method using multiple machines makes it impossible to integrate the processes of different assembly stages of the same product through equipment sharing. This not only leads to a significant increase in the number of machines and a more dispersed production line layout, but also significantly expands the required floor space, resulting in reduced space utilization within the factory and hindering the realization of a compact production layout. It also increases the complexity of production management. Summary of the Invention

The sponge washer is placed on the receiving part of the fixture base by the first feeding mechanism. It is connected to the vacuum suction unit through the suction structure. The suction generates negative pressure at the receiving part to adsorb and fix the sponge washer to the receiving part. Then the turntable body rotates, and the second feeding mechanism passes the snap-fit ​​assembly through the sponge washer and fixes it on the fixture base.

[0018] By setting up a first assembly station, a second assembly station, a pressing station, and an assembly inspection station at intervals around the center line of the turntable body, and by using a fixture base provided by the rotatable turntable body, the assembly of the snap-fit ​​components and the assembly of the snap-fit ​​components and sponge gaskets can share the same equipment, realizing process integration of different assembly stages within the same equipment.

[0019] Furthermore, by setting a pressing station in the rotation path of the turntable body, the assembly height of the snap-fit ​​assembly and the sponge gasket can be further adjusted and pressure applied, effectively preventing them from separating. Thus, this invention can complete multiple processes that originally required multiple machines working together in a single rotary device, avoiding the production line bloat and factory space occupation caused by multiple machines operating in parallel, and improving overall assembly efficiency and stability through process integration and shared positioning references.

[0041] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 13 The general assembly machine of the present invention is described.

[0042] Understandably, please refer to Figure 1 The general assembly machine includes a frame 100, which has an assembly area for assembling workpieces.

[0043] Specifically, please refer to Figure 1 The frame 100 is equipped with a first assembly station 100a, a second assembly station 100b, a pressing station 100c, and an assembly inspection station 100d. In other words, the assembly area is arranged with a first assembly station 100a, a second assembly station 100b, a pressing station 100c, and an assembly inspection station 100d.

[0044] It should also be noted that in this embodiment, the frame 100 is also provided with an unloading station 100e.

[0045] Understandably, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some examples of the present invention, the general assembly machine also includes a turntable body 210, a first feeding mechanism 400a, a second feeding mechanism 400b, a pushing mechanism 500, an assembly detection mechanism 600, a first discharging mechanism 820, a second discharging mechanism 830, and a detection device 840.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 The turntable body 210 is rotatably disposed in the assembly area of ​​the frame 100. The turntable body 210 is provided with a vacuum suction unit 230 and several fixture bases 310. The fixture bases 310 are provided with a receiving part 311 for accommodating workpieces and a suction structure 320 for adsorbing and fixing workpieces. The suction structure 320 cooperates with the receiving part 311 and communicates with the vacuum suction unit 230.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 1 The first feeding mechanism 400a is located on the frame 100 and at the first assembly station 100a. The first feeding mechanism 400a is used to place the first workpiece on the fixture base 310. The second feeding mechanism 400b is located on the frame 100 and at the second assembly station 100b. The second feeding mechanism 400b is used to place the second workpiece on the fixture base 310 so that the first workpiece and the second workpiece are pre-positioned.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The pressing mechanism 500 is located on the frame 100 and at the pressing station 100c. The pressing mechanism 500 is used to push the first workpiece and the second workpiece to move relative to each other to a predetermined assembly height.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 The assembly and testing mechanism 600 is located on the frame 100 and at the assembly and testing station 100d. The assembly and testing mechanism 600 is used to test the assembly height of the first workpiece and the second workpiece. The first assembly station 100a, the second assembly station 100b, the pressing station 100c and the assembly and testing station 100d are arranged at intervals around the center line of the turntable body 210.

[0050] Thus, when assembling the male and female buckles of the snap fastener assembly C1, the female buckle is the first workpiece and the male buckle is the second workpiece; the female buckle is placed on the receiving part 311 of the fixture base 310 by the first feeding mechanism 400a, and the male buckle is inserted into the female buckle by the rotation of the turntable body 210, wherein the first workpiece is the female buckle.

[0051] When assembling the snap-fit ​​assembly C1 and the sponge washer C2, the sponge washer C2 is the first workpiece and the snap-fit ​​assembly C1 is the second workpiece. The sponge washer C2 is placed on the receiving part 311 of the fixture base 310 by the first feeding mechanism 400a. It is connected to the vacuum suction unit 230 through the suction structure 320. The suction generates negative pressure at the receiving part 311 to adsorb and fix the sponge washer C2 to the receiving part 311. Then the turntable body 210 rotates and the second feeding mechanism 400b passes the snap-fit ​​assembly C1 through the sponge washer C2 and fixes it on the fixture base 310.

[0052] By arranging a first assembly station 100a, a second assembly station 100b, a pressing station 100c, and an assembly inspection station 100d at intervals around the center line of the turntable body 210, and by providing a fixture base 310 on the rotatable turntable body 210, the assembly of the snap-fit ​​component C1 and the assembly of the snap-fit ​​component C1 and the sponge gasket C2 can share the same equipment, achieving process integration of different assembly stages within the same equipment. The aforementioned suction structure 320 can not only be used for adsorption and fixation of the sponge gasket C2, but also for adsorption and positioning of the female snap-fit ​​during the assembly of the snap-fit ​​component C1, further improving the versatility and stability of the fixture base 310 in different assembly stages.

[0053] Furthermore, by setting a pressing station 100c in the rotation path of the turntable body 210, the assembly height of the snap-fit ​​component C1 and the sponge washer C2 can be further adjusted and pressure applied, effectively preventing them from separating. Thus, this invention can complete multiple processes that originally required multi-machine collaboration within a single rotary equipment, avoiding the production line bloat and factory space occupation caused by multiple machines operating in parallel, and improving overall assembly efficiency and stability through process integration and shared positioning references.

[0054] Specifically, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments of the present invention, the suction structure 320 includes a plurality of suction channels 321, which are disposed on the fixture base 310. Each suction channel 321 has a suction port, which is connected to the vacuum suction unit 230.

[0055] The suction port is connected to the receiving part 311. Thus, after the first workpiece (such as the sponge gasket C2) is placed in the receiving part 311, the suction port is connected to the vacuum suction unit 230. The suction creates a stable negative pressure adsorption force at the receiving part 311, which can actively and reliably adsorb and fix the workpiece (such as the easily detachable sponge gasket C2) onto the fixture base 310. This effectively prevents the workpiece from shifting, tilting or accidentally detaching during the assembly process, and significantly improves the accuracy of assembly positioning, operational stability and overall production efficiency.

[0056] It should be noted that the multiple air intake channels 321 can be understood as one or more. In this embodiment, the multiple air intake channels 321 will be described.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 In this embodiment, multiple air intake channels 321 are spaced apart around the rotation center line of the receiving portion 311.

[0058] The multi-point dispersed suction channels 321 achieve more uniform and stable negative pressure adsorption of the workpiece. In addition, the layout of multiple suction channels 321 avoids stress concentration caused by unilateral adsorption. For thin-walled or easily deformable workpieces, such as sponge gasket C2, it can reduce warping or damage caused by uneven adsorption force, improve the adaptability of workpieces of different sizes and shapes, and ensure high positioning reliability during processing or inspection.

[0059] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 In this embodiment, the suction structure 320 and the fixture base 310 are configured as an integrally formed structure. This not only improves the structural strength and vacuum sealing performance of the device, but also effectively reduces assembly steps.

[0060] Of course, in some other embodiments, the suction structure 320 and the fixture base 310 are separate structures. That is, the fixture base 310 is machined with air grooves, which are sealed by the upper cover plate to form a channel; or, an independent suction channel 321 module (such as an air pipe or air nozzle) is embedded in the mounting hole of the fixture base 310.

[0061] Understandably, please refer to Figure 1 In this embodiment, the turntable body 210 is provided with a rotation center position 211 and multiple mounting positions 212. The multiple mounting positions 212 are arranged at intervals around the rotation center position 211. The mounting positions 212 are used to install the fixture base 310 that carries the workpiece.

[0062] Please refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 The frame 100 is also equipped with a drive unit 220, the output end of which is connected to the rotation center position 211. The vacuum suction unit 230 is located at the rotation center position 211. The vacuum suction unit 230 has multiple negative pressure pipelines (not shown in the figure). The multiple negative pressure pipelines correspond one-to-one with multiple mounting positions 212 and are connected to the suction channel 321 of the fixture base 310 so that the workpiece is adsorbed onto the fixture base 310. The multiple negative pressure pipelines and the drive unit 220 are located on opposite sides of the turntable body 210.

[0063] By adopting the above configuration, multiple negative pressure pipelines and drive units 220 are arranged on opposite sides of the turntable body 210, physical isolation between the functional module and the drive module is achieved, reducing interference between the two, thereby improving the reliability of the rotating components, simplifying the maintenance process, and ensuring smoother overall operation.

[0064] In addition, by arranging multiple mounting positions 212 around the rotation center position 211 at intervals to form a symmetrical and uniform layout structure, the workstation arrangement is optimized, the efficient bearing and synchronous drive of the fixture base 310 are realized, and the positioning stability and motion smoothness of the workpiece are improved.

[0065] It is understood that in some embodiments of the present invention, the negative pressure pipeline and the mounting position 212 are arranged on the same side.

[0066] In this way, by setting the negative pressure pipeline on the same side as the mounting position 212, the physical space coupling of the vacuum suction unit 230 and the fixture base 310 is achieved, which significantly shortens the negative pressure path, reduces the number of pipeline bends and joints, effectively improves the response speed and stability of vacuum adsorption, and simplifies the structural layout, making it easier for centralized maintenance and troubleshooting.

[0067] Please refer to Figure 9 In this embodiment, the vacuum suction unit 230 includes a vacuum generator 231, and multiple negative pressure pipelines are connected to the vacuum generator 231; wherein, the vacuum generator 231 and the multiple negative pressure pipelines are all located on the same side of the turntable body 210.

[0068] It achieves functional integration and spatial aggregation of the vacuum adsorption system, shortens the gas path connection length, simplifies pipeline routing, facilitates centralized installation, inspection and maintenance, reduces the complexity of the overall structure, and enhances operational consistency and reliability.

[0069] More specifically, please refer to Figure 9 In this embodiment, the negative pressure pipeline and the mounting position 212 are both located on the upper side of the turntable body 210, and the drive unit 220 is located on the lower side of the turntable body 210.

[0070] In this way, by adopting a layered isolation design, the negative pressure pipeline and the installation position 212 are integrated on the upper side of the turntable body 210, while the drive unit 220 is independently arranged on the lower side. This effectively avoids spatial interference between the air path and the mechanical transmission components, which not only shortens the vacuum adsorption path to improve response efficiency, but also optimizes maintenance accessibility and enhances the stability and reliability of equipment operation.

[0071] Specifically, please refer to Figure 9In some examples of the present invention, the turntable assembly further includes a mounting bracket 240, which is fixedly connected to the turntable body 210; wherein the mounting bracket 240 is provided with a plurality of clearance through holes 2411, which are used for negative pressure pipelines to pass through.

[0072] By providing clearance through holes 2411 on the mounting bracket 240, a structured and orderly path for the negative pressure pipeline is provided, realizing the integrated and modular layout of the pipeline. This effectively avoids entanglement, compression, or wear caused by disordered pipeline arrangement during movement, enhances mechanical protection and stability, and facilitates centralized installation, inspection, and replacement of the pipeline, further improving reliability and maintenance convenience.

[0073] It should be noted that the shape of the mounting bracket 240 can be square, semi-circular, etc. In this embodiment, the shape of the mounting bracket 240 is described as square.

[0074] More specifically, please refer to Figure 9 In this embodiment, the mounting bracket 240 includes two mounting side walls 241 and a mounting top wall 242. The two mounting side walls 241 are arranged opposite to each other and are fixedly connected to the turntable body 210. The two opposite ends of the mounting top wall 242 correspond one-to-one with the two mounting side walls 241 and are fixedly connected. Each mounting side wall 241 is provided with an avoidance through hole 2411.

[0075] Thus, the rigid frame structure consisting of two mounting side walls 241 and a mounting top wall 242 provides a stable and three-dimensional routing space for the negative pressure pipeline. The design of having avoidance through holes 2411 on both mounting side walls 241 allows the negative pressure pipeline to be symmetrically routed on both sides, which not only enhances the regularity and protection of the pipeline layout, but also improves the overall rigidity of the mounting bracket 240 and its supporting role for the negative pressure pipeline.

[0076] It should be noted that the multiple negative pressure pipelines that correspond one-to-one with the fixture base 310 of the multiple mounting positions 212 can all pass through the clearance through hole 2411, or some negative pressure pipelines can pass through the clearance through hole 2411, and the other part of the negative pressure pipelines can pass through the space between the two side walls.

[0077] Understandably, please refer to Figure 9 In this embodiment, the vacuum generator 231 is configured to rotate with the turntable body 210. That is, the vacuum generator 231 is fixedly connected to the mounting top wall 242 of the mounting bracket 240, so that it can rotate synchronously with the turntable body 210.

[0078] It should be noted that in this embodiment, four mounting positions 212 are described. Of course, in other examples, the number of mounting positions 212 may be two, three, five, etc., and this is not limited here.

[0079] It is understood that the two side walls correspond to two mounting positions 212, and the other two mounting positions 212 correspond to the aperture between the two side walls respectively. Therefore, a part of the negative pressure pipeline passes through the avoidance through hole 2411, and the other part of the negative pressure pipeline passes through the space between the two side walls.

[0080] Understandably, please refer to Figure 10 In some examples of the present invention, multiple fixture bases 310 are disposed on the turntable body 210 and are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with multiple mounting positions 212.

[0081] Multiple fixture bases 310 are spaced apart around the centerline of the turntable body 210. The rotation of the turntable body 210 creates a circular production line, sequentially bringing multiple fixture bases 310 into different workstations, enabling simultaneous execution of multiple processes and significantly shortening the production cycle time for a single product. This circular layout fully utilizes the circumferential space of the turntable, allowing multiple fixtures and workpieces to flow orderly within a limited equipment footprint, avoiding the long-distance transport requirements of linear production lines.

[0082] Understandably, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments of the present invention, the receiving portion 311 includes a positioning groove 3111 and an insertion groove 3112, wherein the positioning groove 3111 and the insertion groove 3112 are in communication.

[0083] It can be understood that the positioning groove 3111 is formed on the top of the fixture base 310. In this way, the positioning groove 3111 on the top realizes the rapid positioning and physical limitation of the workpiece, and together with the suction channel 321, it forms a dual fixing mechanism of physical constraint negative pressure adsorption.

[0084] In this embodiment, one end of the insertion groove 3112 has an insertion opening, which is formed on the bottom surface of the positioning groove 3111; wherein, along the transverse direction of the fixture base 310, the peripheral sidewall of the insertion groove 3112 and the peripheral sidewall of the positioning groove 3111 are spaced apart.

[0085] Thus, through the above-described configuration, the fixture base 310 can be used for placing the sponge gasket C2, and also for inserting the snap-fit ​​assembly C1. For example, the snap-fit ​​assembly C1 as a whole, or one of the female and male snap-fit ​​components in the snap-fit ​​assembly C1, can be inserted into the insertion groove 3112 through the insertion opening. On the same fixture, both flat workpieces (sponge gasket C2) and vertically inserted workpieces (snap-fit ​​assembly C1) can be placed for lateral processing, reducing the need for different dedicated fixtures and the time required.

[0086] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7In this embodiment, the suction end of the suction structure 320 is coplanar with the bottom surface of the positioning groove 3111 and is located between the peripheral sidewall of the insertion groove 3112 and the peripheral sidewall of the positioning groove 3111.

[0087] Thus, the air intake surface of the suction channel 321 is coplanar with the bottom surface of the positioning groove 3111. This means that the workpiece can be directly fitted after placement, fundamentally avoiding the tiny air gaps caused by steps or depressions, preventing negative pressure leakage, and ensuring that the adsorption force is established instantly and stably. For workpieces with insufficient rigidity, such as the sponge gasket C2, the coplanar arrangement can provide uniform support throughout the entire area, simplifying the processing technology of the fixture base 310, and can stably adsorb the sponge gasket C2.

[0088] Understandably, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some examples of the present invention, the fixture base 310 is provided with a detection channel 312, which connects to the area on the fixture base 310 where the workpiece is accommodated, that is, to the positioning groove 3111 of the accommodating part 311.

[0089] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 The frame 100 is provided with a detection structure 700, which includes a detection unit 710 and a detection bracket 720. The detection unit 710 is located on one side of the fixture base 310 and cooperates with the detection channel 312. The detection unit 710 is used to detect the workpiece on the fixture base 310. The detection bracket 720 is provided with an adjacent avoidance area 720a and a detection area 720b. The detection unit 710 is located in the detection area 720b, and the avoidance area 720a is used to avoid passing fixture base 310. The detection bracket 720 is arranged adjacent to the turntable body 210.

[0090] Thus, by arranging the detection bracket 720 close to the turntable and dividing it into a clearance area 720a and a detection area 720b, the detection function can be completed without occupying additional planar space. The clearance area 720a provides ample space for the fixture base 310 passing below, avoiding motion interference and allowing the detection unit 710 to be arranged close together, thereby achieving high-precision detection in a compact structure and improving the flexibility of equipment layout.

[0091] Please refer to Figure 2 In this embodiment, the horizontal orthographic projections of the avoidance area 720a and the detection area 720b at least partially overlap with the horizontal orthographic projection of the turntable body 210.

[0092] In this way, the avoidance area 720a and the detection area 720b are directly suspended above the horizontal orthographic projection of the turntable body 210, without needing to occupy valuable planar layout space on the outside of the turntable body 210.

[0093] In this embodiment, the avoidance area 720a is a recessed or notched structure, and the height of the avoidance area 720a is greater than the height of the detection surface of the detection area 720b in the vertical direction.

[0094] By constructing the avoidance area 720a as a recessed or notched structure, and making its height greater than the detection surface of the detection area 720b, a layered functional space is formed in the vertical direction. The higher avoidance area 720a provides a smooth three-dimensional movement channel for the fixture base 310 passing below, fundamentally avoiding physical interference; at the same time, the relatively lower detection area 720b allows the detection unit 710 to align with the side of the workpiece at a very close distance, significantly shortening the detection path and effectively enhancing signal strength and stability, thus achieving reliable avoidance and high-precision detection simultaneously in a compact layout.

[0095] Specifically, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 6 In this embodiment, the detection bracket 720 includes two support arms 721 and a connecting arm 722. The two support arms 721 are spaced apart. Each support arm 721 includes a first segment 7211 and a second segment 7212. In the vertical direction, the height of the first segment 7211 is lower than the height of the second segment 7212. One end of the connecting arm 722 is connected to the second segment 7212 of one of the support arms 721, and the other end is connected to the second segment 7212 of the other support arm 721. The connecting arm 722 and the second segment 7212 are at the same height. The first segment 7211 of the two support arms 721 forms a detection area 720b, and the second segment 7212 of the two support arms 721 and the connecting arm 722 form a clearance area 720a.

[0096] With the above configuration, the first segment 7211 of the support arm 721 is designed with a lower height to form the detection area 720b, while the higher second segment 7212, together with the connecting arm 722, forms the clearance area 720a. This allows the detection unit 710 to perform detection on the side of the jig base 310's movement path, while the higher clearance area 720a provides ample space for the jig base 310 passing below. This avoids movement interference and allows the detection unit 710 to be arranged in close proximity, thus achieving high-precision detection in a compact structure and improving the flexibility of equipment layout.

[0097] Understandably, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 6 In this embodiment, specifically, the detection bracket 720 further includes a support member 723, which is located on one side of the turntable body 210. The height of the support member 723 is higher than the height of the turntable body 210, and the upper end of the support member 723 is fixedly connected to the connecting arm 722.

[0098] With the above configuration, the support member 723 is located on one side of the turntable body 210, and the height of the support member 723 is higher than that of the turntable body 210. This stabilizes the connecting arm 722 to the working height, allowing the clearance area 720a to cross the turntable body 210. This provides sufficient interference-free space for the rotational movement of the turntable body 210 and its fixture base 310, ensuring not only the stability and accuracy of the detection process but also achieving a compact integration of the detection unit 710 with the rotating work.

[0099] In some examples, the detection unit 710 includes one or more detection sensors. By configuring one or more detection sensors, the detection system is given a high degree of flexibility and reliability.

[0100] The detection sensor can be a photoelectric sensor, an inductive sensor, a fiber optic sensor, or a vision recognition component, etc., to realize the perception of the workpiece status.

[0101] Specifically, in this embodiment, the detection unit 710 is described as a photoelectric sensor.

[0102] Thus, by using a photoelectric sensor as the detection unit 710, non-contact, rapid, and highly repeatable automatic detection of the workpiece in place is achieved, effectively avoiding mechanical wear and workpiece damage, while providing real-time and reliable electrical signal feedback for the automated control system.

[0103] It should be noted that photoelectric sensors can take various forms, including through-beam and reflective types. In this embodiment, a through-beam photoelectric sensor will be used for explanation.

[0104] The through-beam photoelectric sensor includes a transmitter 711 and a receiver 712; the transmitter 711 and the receiver 712 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the detection area 720b, and the detection beam emitted by the transmitter 711 can pass through the fixture base 310 and be received by the receiver 712.

[0105] The detection beam emitted by the transmitter 711 can pass through the detection channel 312 of the fixture base 310. Therefore, the through-beam photoelectric sensor has the transmitter 711 and the receiver 712 facing each other on both sides of the detection channel 312. By placing the workpiece and blocking the light path of the detection channel 312, the sensor can achieve accurate and stable presence judgment, which is beneficial to improving the sensor's response sensitivity and accuracy to the passage, position or obstruction of objects.

[0106] In this embodiment, the transmitter 711 and receiver 712 are respectively disposed on two spaced-apart support arms 721, and the width of the fixture base 310 is smaller than the distance between the two support arms 721, thereby achieving stable and interference-free beam detection. The spaced arrangement of the support arms 721 enhances installation flexibility and ensures that the detection beam is accurately and unobstructed in space, thereby improving the reliability and applicability of the detection.

[0107] The detection channel 312 includes two detection grooves 3121, which are aligned. The two detection grooves 3121 are respectively located on opposite sides of the positioning groove 3111 and are connected to the side wall of the positioning groove 3111.

[0108] Thus, by cooperating with the detection grooves 3121 connected on both sides, when the workpiece is placed in the positioning groove 3111, not only can physical positioning be achieved, but the detection units 710 on both sides can also perform dual-side synchronous, non-contact sensing of the workpiece's state, improving the reliability, accuracy and anti-interference capability of the detection, and ensuring the consistency and stability of the detection signal.

[0109] Therefore, the light can be used to determine the presence of a workpiece by observing the color change: the light turns green when the workpiece is present and yellow when the workpiece is removed.

[0110] Specifically, please refer to Figure 7 In this embodiment, the extension direction of the detection groove 3121 intersects the depth direction of the positioning groove 3111.

[0111] In this way, the sensing path of the detection unit 710 can pass through the area of ​​the positioning groove 3111 obliquely or laterally, rather than vertically downward from the top, so as to more sensitively and directly sense the position of the workpiece in the positioning groove 3111. This avoids arranging the detection structure 700 directly above the workpiece, leaving space for the workpiece to be picked up and placed, and other operations above the fixture, thus improving compatibility and layout freedom.

[0112] It should be noted that the extension direction of the detection groove 3121 intersects the depth direction of the positioning groove 3111, which can be understood as the two being perpendicular to each other. Of course, in some other examples, the extension direction of the detection groove 3121 is oblique to the depth direction of the positioning groove 3111.

[0113] Specifically, please refer to Figure 7 In this embodiment, the depths of the detection groove 3121 and the positioning groove 3111 are equal.

[0114] This ensures that the depths of the detection groove 3121 and the positioning groove 3111 are consistent, guaranteeing that the sensing path of the detection unit 710 can accurately pass through the positioning groove 3111 where the workpiece is placed, thereby eliminating detection blind spots and significantly improving the sensitivity and accuracy of status recognition. Simultaneously, the equal-depth structure avoids signal interference and false triggering, enhancing the stability and reliability of the detection.

[0115] In some embodiments, the receiving portion 311 and the suction structure 320 may be one or more.

[0116] Referring to Figures 311 and 320, in this embodiment, there are multiple accommodating portions 311 and multiple suction structures 320, arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. In this embodiment, there is only one accommodating portion 311 and one suction structure 320; however, there can also be two, three, etc.

[0117] In this way, the array arrangement of multiple accommodating parts 311 enables the synchronous assembly or testing of multiple workpieces, directly improving the output efficiency per unit time and allowing for rapid adaptation to different batch production tasks.

[0118] Understandably, please refer to Figure 1 In some examples of the present invention, the first feeding mechanism 400a and the second feeding mechanism 400b both include a feeding component 410, a spider machine component 420, and a picking and placing component 430.

[0119] The feeding assembly 410 is located on the frame 100 and is used to output or adjust the workpiece to be assembled; the spider machine assembly 420 is located on the frame 100 and has a three-dimensional moving platform; the pick-and-place assembly 430 is located on the moving platform of the spider machine mechanism and is used to pick up or clamp the workpiece.

[0120] It can be understood that the feeding assembly 410 can include a feeding bin and a vibration device. When the workpiece is placed in the feeding bin, the vibration device transmits vibration to the feeding bin so as to adjust the state information of multiple workpieces on the feeding bin. The state information includes front and back, mutual adhesion, stacking and orientation, etc.

[0121] Thus, by setting a feeding component 410 (such as a feeding bin) on the frame 100 to output and adjust the workpiece to be assembled, and cooperating with the spider mobile machine component 420 with a three-dimensional motion platform to drive the picking and placing component 430 to perform precise displacement, and the picking and placing component 430 to complete the picking or clamping of the workpiece, efficient and precise automated picking and placing and assembly operations are achieved.

[0122] Of course, in other examples, the first feeding mechanism 400a and the second feeding mechanism 400b can also be set as multi-joint robots, such as a series of rotary joints, to simulate a human hand or arm.

[0123] It is understood that in this embodiment, the first assembly station 100a is equipped with a first detector, which is used to detect and identify workpieces, that is, to identify the number, shape and angle of the workpieces. For example, for the female buckle of the snap fastener assembly C1, the first detector can detect and identify the number, shape and angle of the female buckle; and for the sponge gasket C2, the first detector can detect and identify the number of sponge gaskets C2. When multiple sponge gaskets C2 are detected to be stuck together, the first feeding mechanism 400a can be controlled to return and pick them up again; at the same time, the upper and lower positions or angles of the sponge gaskets C2 can also be identified, and the angle or position of the sponge gaskets C2 can be adjusted by the first feeding mechanism 400a before assembly.

[0124] Specifically, the first detector uses a first camera component to acquire images of the workpiece and transmit the image information to the control unit 110. The control unit 110 analyzes and processes the images to determine the quantity, posture, and whether the workpiece is qualified, and controls the first feeding mechanism 400a to perform picking, adjustment, or re-picking actions accordingly.

[0125] Similarly, in this embodiment, the second assembly station 100b may also be equipped with a second detector, which is also used to detect and identify workpieces, that is, to identify the number, shape, and angle of the workpieces. The second detector is used to detect the male buckle in the buckle assembly C1 or the entire buckle assembly C1. It should be noted that the above-mentioned second detector may be a second camera component, used to acquire images of the workpiece and transmit the image information to the control unit 110. The control unit 110 analyzes and processes the image to determine the number, posture, and whether the workpiece is qualified, and accordingly controls the second feeding mechanism 400b to perform picking, adjustment, or re-picking actions.

[0126] In addition, the first and second detectors can also be color sensors to distinguish the workpiece model, orientation, or quality by color. For example, if the front and back of the sponge gasket C2 are different colors, the color sensor can be used to determine its position, and then the first feeding mechanism 400a can adjust its angle or orientation.

[0127] It should be noted that, along the rotation direction of the turntable body 210, the first detector is located on the side of the first feeding mechanism 400a closer to the second feeding mechanism 400b, and the second detector is located on the side of the second feeding mechanism 400b away from the first feeding mechanism 400a. In other words, the first detector and the second detector are set far apart from each other.

[0128] The above layout allows the first detector and the second detector to be spatially staggered, thereby avoiding interference or signal interference between the two during the detection process. It also avoids misjudgment or action conflict caused by the overlap of the detection area 720b when the first feeding mechanism 400a and the second feeding mechanism 400b are operating synchronously.

[0129] Understandably, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, a pushing mechanism 500 is provided at the pushing station 100c. The pushing mechanism 500 pushes the buckle assembly C1 to a preset relative position with the sponge gasket C2. For example, some buckle assemblies C1 have mounting positions 212 with the sponge gasket C2. However, during the assembly process, some sponge gaskets C2 deviate from the mounting positions 212 of the buckle assembly C1. Therefore, by pushing the buckle assembly C1, it is made to accurately align with the sponge gasket C2, thereby completing the assembly and improving the assembly production efficiency.

[0130] It should be noted that, please refer to Figure 3 In this embodiment, the pressing mechanism 500 includes a fixed column 510, a pressing unit 520, and a telescopic unit 530. The fixed column 510 is located at the pressing station 100c of the frame 100, and the telescopic unit 530 is located on the fixed column 510. The pressing unit 520 is connected to the telescopic end of the telescopic unit 530 through a transmission connection. The pressing unit 520 is used to push and cooperate with the buckle assembly C1 of the workpiece.

[0131] The telescopic unit 530 extends and retracts vertically, thereby driving the pushing unit 520 to move up and down reciprocally, so as to complete the relative position adjustment of the buckle assembly C1 and the sponge gasket C2.

[0132] It is understood that the aforementioned telescopic unit 530 can be an electric push rod or a telescopic cylinder, etc., and no specific limitation is made here.

[0133] In this embodiment, the surface of the pressing unit 520 that mates with the workpiece is a planar structure.

[0134] The aforementioned pushing unit 520 can be a planar structure. For example, when the pushing unit 520 is a planar structure, it can be understood that the pushing unit 520 is designed as a pushing plate. When the buckling component C1 protrudes from the upper surface of the fixture base 310, if the top surface of the buckling component C1 is higher than the height of the positioning groove 3111, the plate surface of the pushing plate and the protruding part of the buckling component C1 are pushed and engaged.

[0135] Of course, in other examples, the surface of the pressing unit 520 that mates with the workpiece is provided with a pushing protrusion, the cross-sectional area of ​​which is adapted to the cross-sectional area of ​​the workpiece.

[0136] The pressing plate is provided with a pushing protrusion. When the buckling component C1 is recessed into the upper surface of the fixture base 310, if the top surface of the buckling component C1 is lower than the height of the positioning groove 3111, the pushing protrusion of the pressing plate can extend into the positioning groove 3111 of the fixture base 310 to achieve a pushing engagement.

[0137] Understandably, please refer to Figure 4 In some examples of the present invention, the assembly testing mechanism 600 includes a testing camera 610 and a baffle 620. The assembly testing mechanism 600 is mounted on the frame 100 and located on one side of the turntable body 210.

[0138] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 10 The baffle 620 includes a connecting part 621, a clearance part 622, and a blocking part 623 connected in sequence. The connecting part 621 is fixedly connected to the frame 100. At least part of the clearance part 622 and the blocking part 623 are located on the upper side of the turntable body 210 and are spaced apart from the turntable body 210. The blocking part 623 is correspondingly arranged with the detection camera 610. In the vertical direction, the distance between the clearance part 622 and the turntable body 210 is a first distance, which is greater than the height of the fixture base 310. In the horizontal direction, the distance between the blocking part 623 and the detection camera 610 is a second distance, which is greater than the width of the fixture base 310. When the fixture base 310 moves with the turntable body 210 to the assembly and detection station 100d, the orthographic projections of the blocking part 623 and the fixture base 310 on the vertical plane at least partially overlap.

[0139] It is understandable that the aforementioned baffle 620 is of the form or bent type.

[0140] The structure of the baffle 620 effectively creates a local shielding space for the detection camera 610. On the one hand, by utilizing the first gap between the avoidance part 622 and the turntable body 210, which is larger than the height of the fixture base 310, the smooth passage of the fixture base 310 and the workpiece when they move to the detection station with the turntable body 210 is ensured, without mechanical interference.

[0141] On the other hand, by maintaining a second distance greater than the width of the fixture base 310 in the horizontal direction between the shielding part 623 and the detection camera 610, and ensuring that the shielding part 623 at least partially overlaps with the vertical projection of the fixture base 310 when it reaches the detection station, stray light, ambient light, and other visual interference sources are precisely blocked in physical space. This structural design not only ensures that the detection camera 610 has a clean field of view free from interference and avoids image noise caused by light scattering or foreign object projection, but also helps to improve the contrast and clarity of visual inspection by physically limiting the position of the fixture base 310. Ultimately, it achieves high-precision and high-stability automated inspection of assembly height and appearance defects, effectively reducing the false judgment rate.

[0142] More specifically, in this embodiment, the detection camera 610 is configured to move toward or away from the turntable body 210; after the fixture base 310 moves with the turntable body 210 to the assembly inspection station 100d, the detection camera 610 is controlled to move toward or away from the turntable body 210 to adjust the shooting position of the detection camera 610 relative to the turntable body 210; the detection camera 610 acquires images of the workpiece on the fixture base 310 to obtain inspection images.

[0143] Thus, by dynamically adjusting the shooting position of the inspection camera 610 after the fixture base 310 reaches the assembly inspection station 100d, adaptive and precise focusing for workpieces of different heights or specifications is achieved, ensuring that the obtained inspection images have optimal clarity and contrast. This significantly improves the accuracy of visual inspection and the stability of system operation while being compatible with multi-variety production.

[0144] Understandably, please refer to Figure 10 In some examples of the present invention, a transfer mechanism 810 is reciprocally mounted on a frame 100, and the transfer mechanism 810 is used to transfer the assembled workpiece located on the fixture base 310 to the unloading station 100e; a detection device 840 is located at the unloading station 100e, and the detection device 840 is used to detect the assembled workpiece transferred by the transfer mechanism 810 to the unloading station 100e, and to determine whether the workpiece is a qualified product or a defective product; a first discharge mechanism 820 is located at the unloading station 100e, and the first discharge mechanism 820 is used to receive and output qualified products; a second discharge mechanism 830 is located at the unloading station 100e, and the second discharge mechanism 830 is used to receive and output defective products; wherein, the first discharge mechanism 820 is located at a position away from the center of the assembly area in the horizontal direction, and the second discharge mechanism 830 is located at a position adjacent to the center of the assembly area in the horizontal direction.

[0145] It should be noted that the assembly area is equipped with a turntable body 210, and the center of the assembly area is also the center of the turntable body 210. From the assembly inspection station 100d to the unloading station 100a, the first discharge mechanism 820 is positioned horizontally away from the center of the assembly area, meaning the first discharge mechanism 820 is positioned horizontally away from the center of the turntable body. From the assembly inspection station 100d to the unloading station 100a, the second discharge mechanism 830 is positioned horizontally adjacent to the center of the assembly area, meaning the second discharge mechanism 830 is positioned horizontally adjacent to the center of the turntable body 210.

[0146] Understandably, the material transfer mechanism 810 is located on one side of the turntable body 210. From the assembly inspection station 100d to the unloading station 100a, the second discharge mechanism 830 is closer to the center of the turntable body 210, which facilitates the rapid receipt of defective products that fail the inspection and their discharge nearby, reducing the path of defective products in the production line. Meanwhile, the first discharge mechanism 820 is arranged far away from the turntable body 210, which avoids interference with the assembly action and reserves sufficient space for the delivery of qualified products. It works in conjunction with the judgment result of the inspection device 840 to achieve diversion output, improving the consistency of the machine's cycle time and the orderliness of logistics.

[0147] Thus, through the above setup, by introducing the material transfer mechanism 810, the remote first discharge mechanism 820, the nearby second discharge mechanism 830, and the detection device 840, a physical space diversion mechanism based on the detection results is constructed, thereby effectively solving the problem of defective products being unable to be dynamically separated and mixed into the qualified product flow.

[0148] The material transfer mechanism 810 picks up or clamps the assembled workpiece to the detection device 840. The detection device 840 analyzes and judges the detection image, distinguishes between qualified products and defective products (such as appearance defects), and feeds back the judgment result to the control unit 110 in real time to provide a decision basis for subsequent sorting.

[0149] The first discharge mechanism 820 is located horizontally away from the center of the assembly area, i.e., the turntable body 210, while the second discharge mechanism 830 is located adjacent to the center of the assembly area, i.e., the turntable body 210. The two form clearly separated discharge paths in space to avoid cross-contamination or mixing of materials of different qualities during the transmission process.

[0150] When the workpiece is determined to be a qualified product, the transfer mechanism 810 transfers the workpiece from the fixture base 310 to the first discharge mechanism 820; when the workpiece is determined to be a defective product, the transfer mechanism 810 transfers the workpiece to the second discharge mechanism 830.

[0151] This "near-far separation" structure enables the physical separation of qualified and unqualified products the moment they leave the workstation, rather than relying solely on signal marking or manual selection. Because defective products are guided to the second discharge mechanism 830 at the earliest physical discharge stage, they do not enter the qualified product stream or subsequent processes. This prevents defective products from being mixed into warehousing, packaging, or assembly stages, significantly improving the effectiveness of quality traceability, the accuracy of inventory data, and the overall quality control reliability of the production line. It achieves dynamic and reliable separation of defective and qualified products, fundamentally preventing the spread of quality risks downstream.

[0152] Specifically, please refer to Figure 10 In this embodiment, after the material transfer mechanism 810 picks up the assembled workpiece, it sequentially passes the positions of the second discharge mechanism 830, the detection device 840, and the first discharge mechanism 820 along the first moving direction. When the assembled workpiece is determined to be defective, the material transfer mechanism 810 returns along the second moving direction and releases the assembled workpiece to the second discharge mechanism 830. When the assembled workpiece is determined to be qualified, the material transfer mechanism 810 continues to move along the first moving direction and releases the assembled workpiece to the first discharge mechanism 820. The first moving direction is opposite to the second moving direction.

[0153] Thus, by sequentially arranging the second discharge mechanism 830, the detection device 840, and the first discharge mechanism 820 along a single linear path, and cleverly configuring a second movement direction opposite to the first movement direction, a highly efficient sorting channel that combines temporal logic and spatial isolation is constructed. This design utilizes a reverse-reversing physical movement line to forcibly change the trajectory of defective products, causing them to deviate from the straight inertial path pointing to the qualified product area. This completely avoids the risk of mis-distribution of defective products due to inertia or misjudgment at the level of mechanism motion logic, achieving absolute isolation and precise dynamic diversion of good and defective products in physical space.

[0154] Please refer to Figure 10 In this embodiment, the first discharge mechanism 820 and the second discharge mechanism 830 are arranged at intervals.

[0155] The first discharge mechanism 820 and the second discharge mechanism 830 are set at intervals, which physically constructs independent discharge channels for qualified products and defective products, effectively avoiding mutual interference or accidental mixing between the two in the discharge process. This provides a reliable end-point physical isolation guarantee for the sorting results and ensures the long-term stable operation of the qualified and defective product flow.

[0156] Please refer to Figure 10In this embodiment, the detection device 840 is located between the first discharge mechanism 820 and the second discharge mechanism 830; the frame 100 is provided with a linear guide rail, and the material transfer mechanism 810 is movably connected to the linear guide rail; the arrangement direction of the second discharge mechanism 830, the detection device 840 and the first discharge mechanism 820 is the same as the guiding direction of the linear guide rail.

[0157] By precisely positioning the detection device 840 between the first discharge mechanism 820 and the second discharge mechanism 830, and making the transfer mechanism 810 move along a straight path completely in the same direction as the linear guide, this design constructs a minimalist linear mode with detection in the center and sorting at the end. This allows the transfer mechanism 810 to seamlessly complete detection and judgment and bidirectional sorting actions in a single linear stroke, which not only eliminates unnecessary motion redundancy and steering errors, but also greatly improves the compactness of the overall structure and the stability of the sorting cycle.

[0158] Please refer to Figure 10 In this embodiment, the first discharge mechanism 820 and the second discharge mechanism 830 are arranged with their guiding directions intersecting.

[0159] By setting the guiding directions of the first discharge mechanism 820 and the second discharge mechanism 830 to intersect (usually perpendicular or at a certain angle), the spatial isolation between qualified and defective products is further enhanced at the discharge end. This allows the two types of materials to be diverted to their respective independent collection areas or the next process along different trajectories immediately after leaving the sorting station. This effectively avoids path intersections, stacking interference, or slippage confusion that may occur with parallel material guidance, thereby improving the orderliness, smoothness, and convenience of the discharge process.

[0160] Please refer to Figure 4 In this embodiment, the material transfer mechanism 810 includes a sliding seat 811, a lifting drive 812, and a pick-and-place assembly 813. The sliding seat 811 is reciprocally mounted on the frame 100. The lifting drive 812 is fixedly connected to the sliding seat 811. The pick-and-place assembly 813 is used to grab or release the assembled workpiece. The pick-and-place assembly 813 is connected to the output end of the lifting drive 812. The lifting drive 812 is used to drive the pick-and-place assembly 813 to lift.

[0161] The material transfer mechanism 810, through its modular design consisting of a sliding seat 811, a lifting drive component 812, and a pick-and-place assembly 813, achieves decoupled control of the workpiece in two dimensions: planar displacement and vertical pick-and-place. The sliding seat 811 carries the entire assembly and moves back and forth along the linear guide rail to ensure horizontal positioning accuracy, while the lifting drive component 812 independently drives the pick-and-place assembly 813 to complete precise lifting and lowering actions. This structure not only ensures a smooth and reliable pick-and-place process with accurate positioning, but also effectively avoids the impact and wear caused by rigid connections, significantly improving the operational stability and service life of the mechanism under high-frequency reciprocating motion.

[0162] In some examples, the detection device 840 is one or more of a visual inspection camera, a weight sensor, or a dimensional measuring instrument.

[0163] By configuring the inspection device 840 as one or more of a visual inspection camera, a weight sensor, or a dimensional measuring instrument, this solution endows the inspection system with extremely high multi-dimensional perception capabilities and functional expandability. It can flexibly select or combine various means such as optical imaging, mass weighing, and geometric dimension measurement according to product characteristics, thereby realizing a comprehensive and three-dimensional judgment on the surface defects, weight anomalies, and dimensional deviations of assembled workpieces, significantly improving the coverage and reliability of quality inspection results.

[0164] In this embodiment, the detection device 840 is described as a visual inspection camera. When the transfer mechanism 810 moves the assembled workpiece to the position of the detection device 840 for inspection, if the workpiece is found to be qualified, it continues to move toward the first discharge mechanism 820 and is released; if the workpiece is found to be defective, it moves in the opposite direction toward the second discharge mechanism 830 and is released.

[0165] It should be noted that when the assembly inspection station 100d is incompatible with the set finished product assembly height requirement, the assembled workpiece can be directly moved to the second discharge mechanism 830 by the transfer mechanism 810. At this time, it is not necessary to perform inspection by the inspection device 840.

[0166] It should also be noted that in some embodiments, the material transfer mechanism 810 described above can also be a robotic arm mechanism, which is not limited here.

[0167] Understandably, please refer to Figures 10 to 12 In this embodiment, the first discharge mechanism 820 includes a first discharge component 821, a baffle component 822, and a drive assembly 823.

[0168] The first discharge member 821 is provided with a first discharge channel 8211, which is used to receive and output workpieces. The first discharge channel 8211 is provided with an inlet 82111, an outlet 82112, and a guide part 82113. The guide part 82113 is used to guide the workpiece from the inlet 82111 to the outlet 82112. The baffle member 822 is movably provided in the first discharge channel 8211. The baffle member 822 is provided with a baffle part 8221 and a temporary storage part 8222. The baffle member 822 has at least a first position and a second position. The output end of the drive assembly 823 is connected to the baffle member 822 to drive the baffle member 822 to switch between the first position and the second position.

[0169] In the first position, the baffle 8221 and the guide 82113 are spaced apart so that the feed inlet 82111 is connected to the discharge outlet 82112 through the guide 82113; in the second position, the baffle 8221 and the guide 82113 are connected to each other to block the connection between the feed inlet 82111 and the discharge outlet 82112; wherein, in the second position, the temporary storage section 8222 is used to temporarily store the workpiece.

[0170] With the above configuration, through the cooperation of the baffle 822 and the drive assembly 823, when the baffle 822 is in the first position, the workpiece can move and be unloaded normally through the feed inlet 82111, the guide section 82113, and the discharge outlet 82112. When the baffle 822 is in the second position, the baffle 8221 abuts against the guide section 82113 to block the connection between the feed inlet 82111 and the discharge outlet 82112, and the workpiece can be temporarily stored through the temporary storage section 8222, thus realizing material storage and process buffering during the unloading process. This allows downstream material collection and replacement operations to be performed independently without pausing upstream feeding and unloading operations, thereby transforming the original intermittent unloading process into a continuous operation mode, improving production efficiency and operational continuity.

[0171] It is understood that in this embodiment, the feed port 82111 is at least partially located at the unloading station 100e; wherein the drive assembly 823 is located at the unloading station 100e of the frame 100.

[0172] Specifically, please refer to Figures 10 to 12 In this embodiment, the temporary storage section 8222 is a receiving cavity, and the receiving cavity is provided with a receiving port 82221.

[0173] Thus, by setting the temporary storage section 8222 as a receiving cavity with a receiving port 82221, an independent and enclosed temporary storage space is provided for the workpiece. The receiving port 82221 facilitates the orderly entry of the workpiece into the receiving cavity when it is in the temporary storage position, realizing the temporary storage and buffering of materials. This ensures that the upstream material supply process can still continue during the period when the discharge port 82112 and the inlet port 82111 are blocked, effectively maintaining the continuity of work.

[0174] Of course, in some embodiments, the temporary storage unit 8222 can be designed as a temporary storage platform in addition to the material receiving chamber form.

[0175] Please refer to Figures 10 to 12 In some embodiments of the present invention, the receiving cavity is further provided with a discharge port 82222. In a first position, the discharge port 82222 is spaced apart from the guide part 82113. In a second position, the surface where the discharge port 82222 is located is connected to the guide part 82113, and the guide part 82113 blocks the discharge port 82222.

[0176] Thus, by setting up the discharge port 82222 and utilizing the cooperation between the baffle 822 and the guide part 82113 at different positions, dynamic sealing and controllable discharge of the receiving chamber are achieved. In the second position, the guide part 82113 blocks the discharge port 82222, ensuring that the receiving chamber remains closed when temporarily storing workpieces and preventing accidental leakage of workpieces; while in the first position, the discharge port 82222 and the guide part 82113 form a channel, allowing the temporarily stored workpieces to be smoothly discharged along the main path and fall into the first discharge channel 8211 through the discharge port 82222. This ensures the independence of the temporary storage function and realizes a smooth switch between the temporary storage and conveying states of the workpieces, improving the continuity and reliability of the unloading process.

[0177] Specifically, please refer to Figures 10 to 12 In this embodiment, the guiding part 82113 is a guiding slope, and the blocking part 8221 includes a blocking sidewall. In the first position, the retaining sidewall and the guiding inclined surface are spaced apart; in the second position, the retaining sidewall and the guiding inclined surface are connected.

[0178] Thus, in the first position, the retaining sidewall is separated from the guiding slope, and the inlet 82111 and outlet 82112 are connected through the guiding slope, allowing the workpiece to slide smoothly down the guiding slope for continuous unloading. In the second position, the retaining sidewall is in close contact with the guiding slope, and the material flow is blocked by the contact between the guiding slope and the retaining sidewall. The upper structure utilizes the guiding slope to ensure smooth flow and achieves reliable switching between on and off states through simple translational movement, resulting in a compact structure and fast response.

[0179] Of course, in some other examples, the guide section 82113 can also be a spiral guide chute.

[0180] More specifically, please refer to Figure 12 In this embodiment, the guide ramp is inclined relative to the horizontal plane, and the baffle sidewall is perpendicular to the horizontal plane.

[0181] In this way, the guide ramp utilizes the component of gravity to allow the workpiece to slide down naturally and smoothly, reducing the risk of jamming and improving unloading efficiency. The retaining sidewall is perpendicular to the horizontal plane, so that it can form a stable contact with the guide ramp in the second position, with good sealing performance, effectively preventing the workpiece from accidentally leaking from the gap.

[0182] It is understood that in some embodiments of the present invention, the material stop 822 is further provided with an anti-flying part 8223, and the orthographic projection of the anti-flying part 8223 on the horizontal plane is located within the orthographic projection area of ​​the material guide part 82113 on the horizontal plane.

[0183] Thus, the anti-flying unit 8223 acts like an invisible guardrail above the workpiece's movement path. It effectively prevents the workpiece from accidentally ejecting due to inertia or collision during its descent, ensuring that the workpiece's trajectory is controlled. By suppressing splashing and jamming, it reduces downtime required to clean up scattered workpieces or handle jammed materials, thereby indirectly supporting the higher-speed continuous operation of the general assembly machine.

[0184] Specifically, please refer to Figure 12 In this embodiment, the anti-flying part 8223 and the material guiding part 82113 are arranged in parallel; in the first position, the anti-flying part 8223 and the material guiding part 82113 are arranged at intervals; in the second position, the anti-flying part 8223 and the material guiding part 82113 are connected.

[0185] Thus, by arranging the anti-splash section 8223 and the guide section 82113 in parallel and achieving spacing and contact in the two working positions respectively, a dynamic planar sealing and anti-splash integrated structure is constructed. In the second position, the two are tightly fitted, while a portion of the guide section 82113 blocks the discharge port 82222; in the first position, the spacing provides a smooth channel for the movement of the workpiece.

[0186] More specifically, please refer to Figure 12 The aforementioned anti-flying section 8223 is an anti-flying inclined surface. Therefore, it can be understood that the anti-flying inclined surface is set parallel to the guiding inclined surface. In this way, not only is full-area protection achieved, but the surface-to-surface contact also improves the uniformity of force distribution, enhances the stability and service life of the mechanism's movement, and maintains the compactness of the overall structure. Understandably, please refer to Figure 11 and Figure 12 In some examples of the present invention, along the left-right direction, the receiving cavity includes a left receiving side wall and a right receiving side wall, such that the baffle 8221 is the right receiving side wall of the receiving cavity. Along the up-down direction, the outer surface of the bottom wall of the receiving cavity is the anti-flying part 8223, i.e., the anti-flying slope; there is a gap between one end of the bottom wall of the receiving cavity and the left receiving side wall to form a discharge port 82222.

[0187] It is understandable that, in some examples, the movable setting of the stop 822 can be understood as being rotatable, movable, or a combination of rotatable and movable.

[0188] Please refer to Figure 11 In this embodiment, the material stop 822 is described as movable.

[0189] Specifically, the stop 822 is configured to be movable relative to the first discharge channel 8211. The stop 822 is configured to move horizontally or vertically.

[0190] In this embodiment, the movement of the stop 822 in the horizontal direction will be described.

[0191] Thus, by configuring the stop 822 to move horizontally, the dynamic mechanical switching of opening and closing of the first discharge channel 8211 is achieved. The horizontal movement mode is compact and fast, which helps to shorten the cycle time. The stop 822 can precisely control the material flow direction, thereby transforming the intermittent unloading process that originally relied on external intervention into a continuous or quasi-continuous operation controlled autonomously by the equipment, improving production efficiency and process automation level.

[0192] It should be noted that the drive assembly 823 can be an electric push rod or a cylinder drive, etc. The number of drive assemblies 823 can be one or two sets, etc. Taking two sets of drive assemblies 823 as an example, the two sets of drive assemblies 823 are spaced apart on opposite sides of the discharge part and are fixedly connected to the frame 100.

[0193] Understandably, please refer to Figure 10 In some embodiments of the present invention, the general assembly machine further includes a packaging mechanism 900, which is disposed on one side of the frame 100. The packaging mechanism 900 includes a receiving component 910, one end of which is used to connect to the discharge port 82112 of the discharge component, and the other end of which is used to connect to the collecting component. The receiving component 910 is configured to move toward or away from the discharge component.

[0194] Thus, by designing the receiving component 910 to move towards or away from the discharging component, dynamic and flexible docking between the collecting component and the discharging port 82112 is achieved. When the receiving component 910 is close to the discharging port 82112, it forms a closed path by tightly connecting with the discharging port 82112, ensuring that the workpiece is accurately and leak-free introduced into the collecting component under the action of gravity or power. When it is far away from the collecting component, it leaves sufficient operating space for picking up, replacing, or removing the collecting component, completely avoiding interference with the discharging component. This active receiving and conveying telescopic design transforms the fixed discharging point into a movable docking terminal, ensuring the sealing and continuity of the packaging process, and greatly improving the human-machine friendliness and automation efficiency of the material changing operation.

[0195] It should be noted that the receiving part 910 is a trapezoidal funnel, while the collecting part can be a packaging box or a packaging bag, etc.

[0196] It should also be noted that the packaging mechanism 900 also includes a drive component, which is a telescopic structure, to drive the up and down movement of the receiving component 910.

[0197] Please refer to Figure 5In this embodiment, the second discharge mechanism 830 includes a second discharge component 831, which is provided with a second discharge channel 8311. The second discharge channel 8311 is used to receive and output assembled workpieces; wherein, the guiding direction of the second discharge channel 8311 is inclined towards a position away from the assembly area.

[0198] It is understandable that the material guiding direction of the second discharge channel 8311 is inclined away from the assembly area, that is, the material guiding direction of the second discharge channel 8311 is inclined away from the turntable body 210. By setting the guiding direction of the second discharge channel 8311 to be inclined away from the assembly area (turntable body 210), this design uses gravity or auxiliary thrust to enable defective workpieces to quickly slide away from the core working area along the incline after leaving the transfer mechanism 810. This not only speeds up the discharge of defective products, but also further increases the spatial distance from the discharge path of qualified products at the far end. This effectively prevents defective products from accidentally rolling back or mixing into adjacent workstations due to bouncing or deviation during the sliding process, ensuring the smoothness of waste discharge and the reliability of isolation.

[0199] It should be noted that, please refer to Figure 13 In this embodiment, the general assembly machine also includes a protective cover 120 that is fitted over the frame 100.

[0200] The general assembly machine, by setting a protective cover 120 over the frame 100, with at least part of the protective cover 120 being a transparent structure, physically constructs a fully enclosed or semi-enclosed safe working space. This effectively blocks the intrusion of external dust and foreign objects to ensure the internal precision testing environment and workpiece cleanliness, while also preventing high-speed rotating mechanical parts (such as turntables and material transfer mechanisms 810) from causing injury to operators. At the same time, the transparent material retains full visibility, facilitating production line monitoring and anomaly investigation, thus taking into account production safety, environmental cleanliness, and management convenience.

[0201] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only for illustrating the present invention and not for limiting the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various combinations, modifications, or equivalent substitutions of the technical solutions of the present invention do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention and should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
