Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of automated production technology, and specifically relates to a volume button device assembly mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] The assembly of volume buttons for 3C products is done manually, which involves many steps and low efficiency. In addition, the volume buttons are relatively small (10mm*2.6mm) and have high requirements for appearance (the surface of the incoming material is facing down to protect the appearance of the volume buttons). The waterproof adhesive gaskets used for assembly require high precision, and the yield rate of manual assembly cannot meet the requirements.

[0003] The existing assembly method is generally to manually use tweezers to flip the two buttons 180 degrees from the tray and put them into the limiting groove of the button fixture (the two buttons are assembled into a set); then, manually use tweezers to take a waterproof adhesive gasket, tear off the two release papers, put it into the waterproof adhesive gasket fixture, open the fixture to vacuum and suck up the waterproof adhesive gasket, and snap the waterproof adhesive gasket onto the button fixture to complete the installation of the two volume buttons.

[0004] However, the accuracy of the volume buttons and waterproof gaskets after assembly is within 0.15mm (the fixture limit groove and the button are in clearance fit, and the assembly accuracy cannot be guaranteed). The defect rate of manual assembly reaches 30%, and the production efficiency is low. To meet the corresponding production needs, 8 people are required.

[0020] This specific embodiment is a volume button device combination mechanism, the structural diagram of which is shown below. Figures 1-16 As shown, the volume button device assembly mechanism includes a large plate 1, a slider connecting plate 2 is provided on the top surface of the large plate 1, and a conveying component is provided on the bottom surface of the slider connecting plate 2. A support plate 6 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the slider connecting plate 2. The support plate 6 has a U-shaped structure. A clamping assembly is provided on the inner side of the support plate 6, and a flipping assembly is provided on the side wall of the support plate 6. A cylinder mounting base 13 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the large plate 1, and an opening and closing assembly is provided on the side wall of the cylinder mounting base 13.

[0021] like Figure 2 As shown, the conveying assembly includes a KK module 5 installed on the top surface of the large plate 1. The slider connecting plate 2 is slidably connected to the KK module 5. The KK module 5 moves smoothly in a linear sliding motion and can bear the long-term high-frequency reciprocating motion of multi-station fixtures. Its wear resistance and service life are much longer than ordinary guide rails, reducing the frequency of equipment downtime for maintenance. A servo motor 3 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the large plate 1. A transmission box 4 is fixedly connected to one side wall of the large plate 1. The output shaft of the servo motor 3 is connected to the transmission box 4. The KK module 5 is connected to the transmission box 4.

[0022] By setting servo parameters through the program, the module's moving speed and stroke can be flexibly adjusted to adapt to the production of volume buttons of different specifications and sizes, making the equipment more versatile; this part belongs to existing mature technology, and the control of KK module 5 can be achieved through existing technical means.

[0023] Specifically, when the servo motor 3 is powered on, the output shaft inputs power into the transmission box 4. After the transmission box 4 completes the speed change and direction change, it drives the KK module 5 to slide linearly back and forth, causing the slider connecting plate 2 to move precisely in the X direction along the top surface of the large plate 1. The upper end of the slider connecting plate 2 is fixed with the support plate 6, so that the support plate 6 and its mounted flipping components and clamping components can be accurately transferred between the loading and unloading stations and the mounting station along with the KK module 5.

[0024] like Figure 4 As shown, the flipping assembly includes a bearing seat 7 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the support plate 6 near the top surface. The bearing seat 7 has a split support design, and the two ends of the base 17 rotate based on the bearing seat 7. The rotation gap is small, the flipping positioning repeatability is high, and the button mounting benchmark is uniform after flipping. A drive motor 9 is fixedly installed on the inner bottom surface of the support plate 6. The output shaft of the drive motor 9 is driven by a reducer 10. One end of one bearing seat 7 and the output shaft of the reducer 10 are fixedly connected to a synchronous pulley 11. A synchronous belt 12 is driven between the two synchronous pulleys 11.

[0025] Among them, the drive motor 9 is equipped with a reducer 10 structure to reduce the output speed and amplify the torque. The start and stop of the flipping is without instantaneous impact, and the appearance of the button body 20 inside the fixture is not damaged by inertial movement, which meets the high appearance quality control requirements of the button.

[0026] Specifically, when a flipping operation is required, the drive motor 9 outputs power, which is reduced and increased in torque by the reducer 10, and drives the synchronous pulley 11 on one side to rotate. The synchronous pulleys 11 on both sides are synchronously transmitted through the synchronous belt 12. The bearing seat 7 acts as a rotating support seat, driving the base 17 to complete a 180° flip around the bearing axis.

[0027] like Figure 4 As shown, a quick-release tray 8 is mounted on the inner side of the support plate 6, and the clamping assembly is located on the quick-release tray 8. The quick-release tray 8 can be quickly disassembled, making it convenient to remove the clamping assembly as a whole for inspection, maintenance, and replacement without disassembling the entire machine, thus significantly shortening the product changeover and debugging time.

[0028] The quick-release tray has 8 pairs of clamping components for limiting and supporting. If the buttons are placed crookedly, the clamps can open to discard defective products. The button mounting surface is facing down when the material arrives. After a 180° flip, the button mounting surface is switched to facing up, making it easier for the robotic arm to pick up the waterproof adhesive gasket and apply it accurately.

[0029] like Figures 4-8As shown, the fixture assembly includes a base 17, which is mounted between two bearing seats 7 on both sides. Multiple sets of limiting grooves are formed on the top surface of the base 17. A cover plate 18 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the base 17, and a workpiece groove 19 is formed within each limiting groove. A through groove corresponding to the workpiece groove 19 is formed on the cover plate 18. The robotic arm can pick up and place materials through the through groove. The cover plate 18 simultaneously limits the upper end of the button to prevent it from shifting upwards, providing all-around protection for the button's appearance. A button body 20 is set inside the workpiece groove 19, and two first push blocks are slidably connected within each set of limiting grooves. 21. The second push block 22, the third push block 23, and the fourth push block 24. The two first push blocks 21 move along the X-axis to open, and the second push block 22 and the fourth push block 24 move along the Y-axis to open. The third push block 23 moves along the Y-axis to push the first push block 21. The first push block 21, the second push block 22, and the fourth push block 24 are equipped with a first spring 25 between them and the limiting groove. The first spring 25 has a built-in reset and achieves automatic clamping by relying on elasticity. No additional power source is required, which simplifies the air circuit layout and reduces the energy consumption and failure rate of the equipment. An opening and closing control component is provided in the base 17.

[0030] like Figures 7-9 As shown, the opening and closing control assembly includes a first push plate 29, a second push plate 30, and a third push plate 31 slidably connected to the side wall of the base 17. The side wall of the first push plate 29 has a plurality of first inclined grooves 32. The bottom surface of the second push block 22 is equipped with a first roller 26, which is in contact with the inclined surface of the first inclined groove 32. The side wall of the second push plate 30 has a plurality of second inclined grooves 33, and the side wall of the second inclined groove 33 has a third inclined groove 34. The bottom surfaces of the third push block 23 and the fourth push block 24 are respectively equipped with a second roller 27 and a third roller 28, which are in contact with the inclined surfaces of the second inclined groove 33 and the third inclined groove 34, respectively.

[0031] The cam transmission structure with inclined groove and roller converts the linear displacement of the push plate into the multi-directional opening displacement of the push block. A single push plate can simultaneously control multiple sets of push blocks, simplifying the number of cylinders and reducing the layout of air source pipelines.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, the opening and closing assembly includes a first cylinder 14, a second cylinder 15, and a third cylinder 16 installed on the side wall of the cylinder mounting base 13. The telescopic ends of the first cylinder 14, the second cylinder 15, and the third cylinder 16 are respectively fixedly connected to top plates, and one end of the top plate is opposite to one end of the first push plate 29, the second push plate 30, and the third push plate 31, respectively.

[0033] Specifically, the first cylinder 14 drives the first push plate 29 to move, and the inclined surface of the first sloping groove 32 presses the first roller 26, causing the second push block 22 to expand outward along the Y-axis; An external air source controls the independent extension and retraction of three cylinders. The first cylinder 14 extends to push the first push plate 29, controlling the opening and closing of the push blocks for acupoints #1, #3, #5, and #7. The second cylinder 15 extends to push the second push plate 30, controlling the opening and closing of the push blocks for acupoints #2, #4, #6, and #8. The third cylinder 16 extends to push the third push plate 31, controlling the extension and retraction of the support plate 35. When unloading is complete, the first cylinder 14 and the second cylinder 15 extend synchronously, opening all acupoints, allowing the robotic arm to directly remove all four assembled button sets at once. The three cylinders are controlled independently in zones, enabling separate loading or simultaneous opening and closing of odd-numbered and even-numbered acupoints, flexibly matching the robotic arm's batch / full-batch loading process, resulting in greater freedom in production layout.

[0034] The second push plate 30 moves forward, the second inclined groove 33 and the third inclined groove 34 respectively squeeze the second roller 27 and the third roller 28, driving the third push block 23 and the fourth push block 24 to open along the Y axis. The third push block 23 simultaneously pushes the first push block 21 to separate along the X axis, and all push blocks overcome the elastic force of the first spring 25 to open the workpiece groove 19. At the same time, the third push plate 31 moves forward, and the fourth roller 37 slides along the inclined surface of the V-shaped groove 36, pushing the support plate 35 to extend below the workpiece groove 19, and lifting the button body 20 from the bottom to prevent the button from falling off when the robot arm releases the material.

[0035] Each cylinder retracts to cancel the top thrust, the first spring 25 rebounds and pulls each push block to reset, the first push block 21, the second push block 22, and the fourth push block 24 clamp the button body 20 from both X and Y directions, multi-directional limiting eliminates the button assembly gap, and the two buttons are paired and positioned based on the base 17 reference; after the third push plate 31 retracts, the second spring 38 pulls the support plate 35 to retract and make way, leaving operating space for subsequent flipping and mounting.

[0036] Among them, the X+Y axis multi-directional block pushing structure is different from the single-sided clamping fixture, and the limit buttons are set from four directions to eliminate the assembly deviation caused by the traditional clearance fit. In addition, the multi-cavity partitioned layout (8 slots and 4 pairs) allows for the simultaneous positioning of 4 pairs of buttons during a single feeding, and the robotic arm can simultaneously pick up and place 4 buttons, greatly improving the efficiency of a single feeding. The first spring 25 is built-in for reset, and it achieves automatic clamping by relying on elasticity. It does not require an additional power source, simplifies the air circuit layout, and reduces equipment energy consumption and failure rate.

[0037] like Figure 5 As shown, a support plate 35 is slidably connected to the side wall of the base 17 away from the cover plate 18. The side wall of the support plate 35 has a groove 36 with a V-shaped structure. A fourth roller 37 is assembled on the side wall of the third push plate 31. The fourth roller 37 is in contact with the inclined surface of the groove 36. The support plate 35 moves along the Y-axis. A second spring 38 is connected between the support plate 35 and the base 17.

[0038] Specifically, the third cylinder 16 extends and drives the third push plate 31 to move forward. At this time, the fourth roller 37 climbs up the slope along the V-shaped groove 36, and the pallet 35 is pushed out to support the material. The third cylinder 16 retracts, and the second spring 38 pulls the tray 35 back to its original position, avoiding the space of the flipping and mounting station.

[0039] The V-shaped inclined plane linkage structure allows a single cylinder to complete the 35° extension and retraction control of the pallet, eliminating the need for an independent drive cylinder, optimizing the overall structure and reducing equipment manufacturing costs. All technical features in this embodiment can be freely combined according to actual needs.

[0040] The above embodiments are preferred implementations of the present invention. In addition, the present invention can be implemented in other ways. Any obvious substitutions without departing from the concept of the present technical solution are within the protection scope of the present invention.
