It has an interactive relationship between the control system (input circuit) and the controlled system (output circuit); it is commonly used in automated control circuits, and is essentially an "automatic switch" that uses a small current to control a large current; it plays roles in automatic adjustment, safety protection, and circuit switching in circuits.

[0003] The relay structure includes a ring-shaped solder, which is a flexible ring-shaped sheet structure. One side of the ring-shaped solder has a solder frame extending outward along its side. Due to the structural differences between the two sides of the ring-shaped solder, the relay assembly process involves the issue of installing the ring-shaped solder in the correct direction. To avoid the problem of subsequent installation being impossible due to the reverse direction of the ring-shaped solder during the material handling process, a platform for detecting the correct direction of the ring-shaped solder needs to be designed before installation to solve the subsequent installation direction problem. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to address the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a relay-based ring solder forward and reverse detection and flipping platform. This platform utilizes the different orientations of the solder frame edges when the ring solder is placed horizontally in both directions. It uses a protruding support platform of the ring solder as a bearing structure, employs solder frame edge embedding and negative pressure downward adsorption to ensure flatness, and uses laser sensors at both ends of the detection groove to determine the forward and reverse positions of the ring solder by the solder frame edge blocking the detection groove. Furthermore, it uses a flipping suction method to flip the reverse ring solder 180° to adjust the forward and reverse positions.

The transmission belt is fitted over the two transmission wheels and the output end of the tilting motor, and the rotational power output by the tilting motor drives the two transmission wheels to rotate synchronously via the transmission belt. At least two tensioning wheels are rotatably mounted on the side wall of the bracket for tensioning the transmission belt.

[0012] Preferably, the transmission box is provided with a rotating shaft, one end of which is connected to the transmission wheel, and the other end extends to the outside of the transmission box; the side wall of the rotating shaft is provided with an outwardly extending rotating sensing plate; at least two sensors are provided on the outside of the rotating sensing plate, the sensors are set on the side wall of the transmission box, and are provided with a U-shaped detection port for sensing the rotating sensing plate passing through the U-shaped detection port.

The second suction holes are connected to the air cavity so as to generate a vacuum negative pressure to adsorb the annular brazing filler metal.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention addresses the shortcomings and deficiencies of existing technologies by independently developing and designing a relay-based ring-shaped solder forward and reverse detection and flipping platform. This platform utilizes the different orientations of the solder frame edges when the ring-shaped solder is placed horizontally in both directions. It employs a protruding support platform based on the shape of the ring-shaped solder as a load-bearing structure, and uses solder frame edge embedding and negative pressure downward adsorption to ensure flatness. A recessed detection groove is created on the protruding support platform. Laser sensors at both ends of the detection groove determine the forward and reverse positions of the ring-shaped solder by observing the solder frame edges blocking the detection groove. Furthermore, a flipping and suction method is used to flip the reversed ring-shaped solder 180° to adjust its forward and reverse positions.

[0016] This invention aims to provide a process for assembling relay toroidal solder in the field of automatic relay assembly. Located before the toroidal solder assembly station, it performs forward orientation detection on the toroidal solder before assembly and simultaneously adjusts the orientation of the toroidal solder in reverse direction to ensure a high yield rate in subsequent assembly. Specifically, the invention comprises a base assembly, a translation assembly, a platform assembly, and a flipping assembly. The base assembly is horizontally positioned and provides a horizontal guide structure. The translation assembly, mounted on the base assembly, outputs horizontal power to drive the platform assembly mounted thereon to move horizontally, adjusting its horizontal position. The platform assembly outputs vertical power to drive the lifting and lowering of the detection platform mounted above it. A key feature is that the detection platform of this invention has multiple upwardly protruding supports spaced apart. These supports are designed to conform to the shape of the toroidal solder and support it. The top surface of each support has multiple first suction holes arranged along the shape of the toroidal solder, through which the solder is drawn downwards. The annular solder is fixedly placed on the protruding support to attract and fix the annular solder and ensure its flatness. Under normal conditions, the annular solder is upside down on the protruding support, with its annular structure adhering to the top surface of the support. Its solder frame covers the outside of the support and extends downwards along the outer wall of the support. When the annular solder is placed in the reverse direction, its solder frame faces upwards and cannot cover the side wall of the support. Based on this difference in placement, the present invention provides at least two horizontal detection grooves on the protruding support. The depth of the detection grooves is no greater than the extension height of the solder frame. Laser sensors are located at both ends of the detection grooves. One end of the laser sensor emits a laser beam, which is received by the receiving end at the other end after passing through the detection groove. When the annular solder is placed upright, the solder frame blocks the detection groove, preventing the laser sensor from detecting the laser signal, thus determining it as upright. When the annular solder is placed in the reverse direction, the solder frame faces upwards, and the laser signal emitted by the laser sensor is detected through the detection groove, thus determining it as reversed.Furthermore, the flipping assembly of the present invention is mounted on the side of the detection platform via a vertically arranged flipping column. A transmission box is horizontally mounted on the flipping column. Two transmission wheels are rotatably connected to one side wall of the transmission box. The rotational power output by the flipping motor is transmitted to the transmission wheels via a transmission belt and a tensioning wheel to drive the two transmission wheels to rotate synchronously. Two rotating shafts are rotatably mounted on the other side of the transmission box. The two rotating shafts are respectively connected to the two transmission wheels and are driven to rotate by the transmission wheels. A flipping seat is connected to the rotating shaft. The flipping seat has an inwardly recessed air cavity. The air cavity is recessed and has a sealing ring around its periphery. A suction seat mounted on the upper part of the flipping seat forms a sealed cavity inside the air cavity through the sealing ring. The air cavity has an air hole inside, which is connected to an external vacuum generator. Furthermore, multiple second air holes are arranged on the outer wall of the suction holder along the direction of the annular brazing filler metal. The second air holes are connected to the air chamber. When the air chamber is evacuated, a vacuum negative pressure is generated at the multiple second air holes to adsorb the annular brazing filler metal. After the suction holder adsorbs the annular brazing filler metal, it is driven by the rotating shaft to rotate 180° to the required assembly direction so that it can be picked up by the robot arm in the subsequent station. At the same time, in order to avoid motion interference, the platform assembly below provides lifting power through the lifting cylinder so that it moves upward when the suction holder picks up the material and moves downward after picking up the material. Furthermore, a rotation sensing plate is also provided on the side of the rotating shaft. The rotation sensing plate moves with the rotating shaft. When it passes through multiple sensors set on its side, the sensors are used to detect the rotation angle of the rotating shaft in real time. Attached Figure Description
