Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of new energy vehicle assembly equipment, and in particular to a fully automated assembly equipment. Background Technology

[0002] New energy vehicles refer to automobiles that use new power systems and are driven entirely or primarily by electric energy, and are characterized by low emissions, high energy efficiency, and high level of intelligence.

[0003] Lighting components in new energy vehicles are assembled from a faceplate, a base shell, and a PCB board. During assembly, the PCB board is first attached to the faceplate, and then the base shell is fastened onto the faceplate so that the faceplate and base shell cover the PCB board. Since the PCB board has pins for insertion, and the faceplate has cavities for these pins, the assembly process requires manual pressing of the PCB board onto the faceplate, followed by pushing it flat to allow the pins to pass into the cavities of the faceplate to form the pins. However, this manual operation is cumbersome, resulting in low assembly efficiency for lighting components, a problem that urgently needs improvement. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to improve the assembly efficiency of lighting accessories, this application provides a fully automatic assembly equipment.

[0005] This application provides a fully automated assembly equipment, which adopts the following technical solution: A fully automatic assembly equipment includes a workbench with a turntable that rotates intermittently on the workbench. A plurality of mounting seats are evenly spaced around the edge of the turntable. A face mask feeding device, a PCB board feeding device, a bottom shell feeding device, and a unloading device are sequentially arranged around the circumference of the turntable on the workbench. The face mask feeding device includes a first feeding mechanism and a first alignment mechanism. The first feeding mechanism automatically feeds the face mask into the first alignment mechanism. The first alignment mechanism is located between the first feeding mechanism and the turntable, aligns the fed face mask, and transfers it to a mounting base on the turntable. The PCB board feeding device includes a second feeding mechanism and a second alignment mechanism. The second feeding mechanism automatically feeds the PCB board into the second alignment mechanism. The second alignment mechanism is located between the second feeding mechanism and the turntable. It aligns the fed PCB board and transfers it to the mounting base where the face mask is placed. During the transfer process, the second alignment mechanism presses and pushes the PCB board to assemble it with the face mask. The bottom shell feeding device includes a third feeding mechanism and a third alignment mechanism. The third feeding mechanism automatically feeds the bottom shell into the third alignment mechanism. The third alignment mechanism is located between the third feeding mechanism and the turntable, aligns the fed bottom shell, and transfers it to the mounting base where the face mask and PCB board are placed. The feeding device presses down on the bottom shell in the mounting base and removes the assembled face mask, PCB board, and bottom shell from the mounting base.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, when it is necessary to assemble the face mask, PCB board, and base shell into lighting accessories, the face mask feeding device feeds the face mask into the mounting seat on the turntable. During the face mask feeding process, the first feeding mechanism automatically feeds the face mask into the first alignment mechanism. The first alignment mechanism aligns the face mask and transfers it into the mounting seat. As the turntable rotates intermittently, the mounting seat containing the face mask rotates to a position close to the PCB board feeding device. At this time, the PCB board feeding device feeds the PCB board into the mounting seat containing the face mask for assembly. During the PCB board feeding process, the second feeding mechanism automatically feeds the PCB board into the second alignment mechanism. The second alignment mechanism aligns the PCB board and transfers it into the mounting seat for assembly with the face mask. During the assembly process of the PCB board and the face mask, the second alignment mechanism... The CB board is pressed and pushed to allow the pins of the PCB board to pass into the receiving cavity of the cover to form a connector. As the turntable continues to rotate, the mounting base rotates to a position close to the bottom shell feeding device. At this time, the bottom shell feeding device feeds the bottom shell into the mounting base for assembly with the cover. During the bottom shell feeding process, the third feeding mechanism automatically feeds the bottom shell to the third alignment mechanism. The third alignment mechanism aligns the bottom shell and transfers it to the mounting base for assembly with the cover. As the turntable continues to rotate, the mounting base rotates to a position close to the unloading device. At this time, the unloading device presses the bottom shell to make the bottom shell and the cover snap together and fix it. Then, the unloading device removes the assembled lighting accessory from the mounting base. The entire assembly process of the lighting accessory does not require manual operation, has a high degree of automation, and is cyclical, which helps to improve the assembly efficiency of the lighting accessory.

[0007] Preferably, the second alignment mechanism includes a second alignment seat and a second dual-head moving assembly. The second alignment seat has a second alignment slot and a second positioning slot. The distance between the second alignment slot and the second positioning slot is the same as the distance between the second positioning slot and the nearest mounting seat. The second dual-head moving assembly has two transfer heads. One transfer head is used to transfer the PCB board that has been aligned in the second alignment slot to the second positioning slot. The other transfer head simultaneously transfers the PCB board in the second positioning slot to the mounting seat and performs pressing and pushing actions.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the second feeding mechanism places the PCB board into the second alignment slot in the second alignment seat. The PCB board completes the alignment operation in the second alignment slot. Then, one transfer head of the second dual-head moving component transfers the PCB board that has completed the alignment operation to the second positioning slot. At the same time, the other transfer head of the second dual-head moving component transfers the PCB board in the second positioning slot to the mounting seat for assembly with the mask.

[0009] Preferably, the second alignment mechanism further includes a second alignment component for aligning the PCB board placed in the second alignment slot, the second alignment component being disposed on the second alignment seat and close to the second alignment slot.

When the PCB board is placed in the second alignment groove, the first driving component drives the first alignment plate to move towards one groove wall of the second alignment groove, and at the same time, the second driving component drives the second alignment plate to move towards the other groove wall of the second alignment groove, so as to realize the alignment operation of the PCB board in the second alignment groove, which helps to improve the positional accuracy of the PCB board transferred to the second positioning groove.

[0013] Preferably, the second dual-head moving assembly includes a first moving head, a second moving head, a second horizontal drive member, a second vertical drive member, and a propulsion drive member. The first moving head is close to the second feeding mechanism, and the second moving head is close to the turntable. The second horizontal drive member is located above the second positioning seat and is used to drive the first moving head and the second moving head to reciprocate in a direction closer to or away from the turntable. The second vertical drive member is disposed on the second horizontal drive member and is used to drive the first moving head and the second moving head to move vertically up and down. The propulsion drive member is disposed on the second vertical drive member and is used to drive the second moving head to reciprocate in a direction closer to or away from the turntable.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the second horizontal drive unit drives the first moving head and the second moving head to reciprocate in the direction of approaching or moving away from the turntable, and the second vertical drive unit drives the first moving head and the second moving head to reciprocate in the direction of approaching or moving away from the turntable, so as to realize the synchronous transfer action of the first moving head and the second moving head. When the PCB board is placed in the mounting base under the drive of the second horizontal drive unit and the second vertical drive unit, the push drive unit drives the second moving head to move in the direction of approaching the turntable, so that the pins of the PCB board are horizontally inserted into the receiving cavity of the mask in the mounting base.

[0015] Preferably, the second feeding mechanism includes a second lifting component and a second transfer component. A plastic frame is stacked on the second lifting component, and PCB boards are arranged in an array on the plastic frame. The second transfer component is located between the second lifting component and the second alignment seat to transfer the PCB boards in the plastic frame one by one to the second alignment slot of the second alignment seat.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the second transfer component transfers the PCB boards in the frame one by one to the second alignment slot of the second alignment seat. When all the PCB boards on a frame are removed, the empty frame is removed, and then the second lifting component performs a lifting operation so that the second transfer component can continue to remove PCB boards.

[0017] Preferably, the second transfer component includes a loading gripper, an X-axis linear drive module, a Y-axis linear drive module, and a Z-axis linear drive module.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the avoidance drive component drives the suction cup to move vertically upward to avoid interfering with the loading and clamping operation of the loading claw. After all the PCB boards in a frame are removed, the avoidance drive component drives the suction cup to move vertically downward so that the height of the suction cup is lower than that of the loading claw. Through the driving cooperation of the X-axis linear drive module, the Y-axis linear drive module and the Z-axis linear drive module, the empty frame is transferred to the placement frame for collection by the suction cup, without the need for manual handling of the empty frame.

[0021] Preferably, a first detection device is provided on the turntable between the PCB board loading device and the bottom shell loading device, and a second detection device is provided on the turntable between the bottom shell loading device and the unloading device. A sorting device for removing defective assembled products from the turntable is also provided behind the unloading device along the rotation direction of the turntable. Both the first detection device and the second detection device are electrically connected to the unloading device and the sorting device.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the first detection device inspects the product after the mask and PCB board are assembled, and the second detection device inspects the product after the mask, PCB board and bottom shell are assembled. When both inspections are completed, the unloading device takes the assembled lighting accessories out of the turntable. When either inspection shows that the assembly is not in place, the unloading device does not perform the unloading operation, and the sorting device sorts out the defective assembled products.

[0023] Preferably, the unloading device includes unloading grippers, a pressing drive, an unloading transfer assembly, and an unloading frame. The unloading transfer assembly is used to drive the pressing drive and the unloading grippers to reciprocate between the unloading frame and the turntable. The pressing drive is used to drive the unloading grippers to move vertically up and down. The unloading grippers are used to pick up and put in the assembled face mask, PCB board, and bottom shell.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the material transfer component drives the material clamping claw to move back and forth between the material frame and the turntable to realize the material feeding operation. Before feeding, the pressing drive component drives the material clamping claw to move vertically downward to press the bottom shell, thereby realizing the fastening of the bottom shell and the mask.

[0025] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. By setting up a mask feeding device, a PCB board feeding device, a base shell feeding device, and a unloading device, when it is necessary to assemble the mask, PCB board, and base shell into a lighting accessory, the mask feeding device feeds the mask into the mounting seat on the turntable. During the mask feeding process, the first feeding mechanism automatically feeds the mask to the first alignment mechanism. The first alignment mechanism aligns the mask and transfers it to the mounting seat. As the turntable rotates intermittently, the mounting seat containing the mask rotates to a position close to the PCB board feeding device. At this time, the PCB board feeding device feeds the PCB board into the mounting seat containing the mask for assembly. During the PCB board feeding process, the second feeding mechanism automatically feeds the PCB board to the second alignment mechanism. The second alignment mechanism aligns the PCB board and transfers it to the mounting seat for assembly with the mask. The assembly of the PCB board and the mask... During the process, the second alignment mechanism presses and pushes the PCB board so that the pins of the PCB board pass into the receiving cavity of the mask to form a connector. As the turntable continues to rotate, the mounting base rotates to a position close to the bottom shell feeding device. At this time, the bottom shell feeding device feeds the bottom shell into the mounting base for assembly with the mask. During the bottom shell feeding process, the third feeding mechanism automatically feeds the bottom shell to the third alignment mechanism. The third alignment mechanism aligns the bottom shell and transfers it to the mounting base for assembly with the mask. As the turntable continues to rotate, the mounting base rotates to a position close to the unloading device. At this time, the unloading device presses the bottom shell to make the bottom shell and the mask snap together and fix it. Then, the unloading device removes the assembled lighting accessory from the mounting base. The entire assembly process of the lighting accessory does not require manual operation, has a high degree of automation, and is cyclical, which helps to improve the assembly efficiency of the lighting accessory.

[0026] 2. By setting a second alignment seat and a second dual-head moving assembly, the second alignment seat has a second alignment slot and a second positioning slot. The second feeding mechanism puts the PCB board into the second alignment slot in the second alignment seat. The PCB board completes the alignment operation in the second alignment slot. Then, one transfer head of the second dual-head moving assembly transfers the PCB board that has completed the alignment operation to the second positioning slot. At the same time, the other transfer head of the second dual-head moving assembly transfers the PCB board in the second positioning slot to the mounting base for assembly with the face mask.

[0027] 3. By setting up a first alignment plate, a second alignment plate, a first driving component, and a second driving component, the first alignment plate, the second alignment plate, and the two groove walls of the second alignment groove together form a space for placing the PCB board. This space is larger than the area of ​​the PCB board to facilitate the placement of the PCB board. When the PCB board is placed in the second alignment groove, the first driving component drives the first alignment plate to move towards one groove wall of the second alignment groove, while the second driving component drives the second alignment plate to move towards the other groove wall of the second alignment groove. This realizes the alignment operation of the PCB board in the second alignment groove, which helps to improve the positional accuracy of the PCB board when it is transferred to the second positioning groove.

Detailed Implementation

[0034] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5 This application will be described in further detail.

[0035] This application discloses a fully automated assembly equipment, referring to... Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 The assembly includes a workbench 1, on which a turntable 2 is intermittently rotated horizontally. Several mounting seats 3 are evenly spaced around the edge of the upper surface of the turntable 2, each with a mounting slot. Simultaneously, a mask feeding device 4, a PCB board feeding device 5, a bottom shell feeding device 6, and a discharging device 7 are sequentially arranged around the turntable 2. The mask feeding device 4 automatically feeds the mask into the mounting seats 3 on the turntable 2. As the turntable 2 rotates intermittently, the PCB board feeding device 5 automatically feeds the PCB board into the mounting seats 3, assembling the PCB board with the mask. Then, the bottom shell feeding device 6 automatically feeds the bottom shell into the mounting seats 3, connecting the bottom shell with the mask. Finally, the discharging device 7 presses the bottom shell in the mounting seats 3 to secure it to the mask, removing the assembled mask, PCB board, and bottom shell from the mounting seats 3. This automated assembly of lighting accessories eliminates the need for manual operation, significantly improving assembly efficiency.

[0036] Reference Figure 1The face mask feeding device 4 includes a first feeding mechanism 41 and a first alignment mechanism 42. The first feeding mechanism 41 automatically feeds the face mask into the first alignment mechanism 42. The first alignment mechanism 42 is located between the first feeding mechanism 41 and the turntable 2, aligns the fed face mask, and transfers it to a mounting base 3 on the turntable 2 to realize automatic feeding of the face mask.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 The first alignment mechanism 42 includes a first alignment seat 421 and a first dual-head moving assembly 422. The first alignment seat 421 has a first alignment groove and a first positioning groove. The distance between the first alignment groove and the first positioning groove is the same as the distance between the first positioning groove and the mounting base 3. It should be noted that the first dual-head moving assembly 422 has two transfer heads. The first feeding mechanism 41 automatically feeds the mask into the first alignment groove. One transfer head is used to transfer the aligned mask in the first alignment groove to the first positioning groove to complete the positioning operation of the mask. The other transfer head simultaneously and accurately transfers the mask in the first positioning groove to the mounting base 3 to realize automatic mask feeding.

[0038] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 As the turntable 2 rotates, the mounting base 3 containing the face mask moves to a position close to the PCB board loading device 5. Specifically, the PCB board loading device 5 includes a second feeding mechanism 51 and a second alignment mechanism 52. The second feeding mechanism 51 automatically feeds the PCB board into the second alignment mechanism 52. The second alignment mechanism 52, located between the second feeding mechanism 51 and the turntable 2, aligns the fed PCB board and transfers it to the mounting base 3 containing the face mask. During the transfer process, the second alignment mechanism 52 presses and pushes the PCB board to assemble it with the face mask, so that the pins of the PCB board pass into the receiving cavity of the face mask to form a connector.

The second alignment seat 521 has a second alignment groove 8 and a second positioning groove 9. The distance between the second alignment groove 8 and the second positioning groove 9 is the same as the distance between the second positioning groove 9 and the nearest mounting seat 3. The second dual-head moving assembly 522 has two transfer heads. One transfer head is used to transfer the PCB board that has been aligned in the second alignment groove 8 to the second positioning groove 9. The other transfer head simultaneously transfers the PCB board in the second positioning groove 9 to the mounting seat 3 and performs pressing and pushing actions to realize the assembly of the PCB board and the face mask.

Specifically, the second alignment component 523 includes a first alignment plate 5231, a second alignment plate 5232, a first driving member 5233, and a second driving member 5234. The first alignment plate 5231 and the second alignment plate 5232 are arranged perpendicularly, and the first alignment plate 5231, the second alignment plate 5232, and the second alignment slot 8 together form a space for placing the PCB board. The first driving member 5233 is disposed on the second alignment seat 521 and is used to drive the first alignment plate 5231 to reciprocate in a direction closer to or away from a slot wall of the second alignment slot 8. The second driving member 5234 is disposed on the second alignment seat 521 and is used to drive the second alignment plate 5234. 2. The first driving member 5233 and the second driving member 5234 reciprocate towards or away from the other wall of the second alignment slot 8. In this embodiment, both the first driving member 5233 and the second driving member 5234 are driven by cylinders, and the driving directions of the first driving member 5233 and the second driving member 5234 are perpendicular. When the PCB board is placed in the space enclosed by the first alignment plate 5231, the second alignment plate 5232, and the two walls of the second alignment slot 8, the first driving member 5233 and the second driving member 5234 synchronously drive the first alignment plate 5231 and the second alignment plate 5232 towards the opposite wall to shrink the space, thereby realizing the alignment operation of the PCB board. The first alignment mechanism 42 also includes a first alignment component. The structure of the first alignment component is the same as that of the second alignment component 523 to realize the alignment operation of the face mask, which will not be described in detail here.

[0041] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5After the PCB board is aligned in the second alignment slot 8, the second dual-head moving assembly 522 positions the PCB board and transfers it to the mounting base 3.

The first moving head 5221 is close to the second feeding mechanism 51 to transfer the PCB board from the second alignment slot 8 to the second positioning slot 9. The second moving head 5222 is close to the turntable 2 to transfer the PCB board from the second positioning slot 9 to the mounting base 3. In this embodiment, both the first moving head 5221 and the second moving head 5222 use grippers for transfer. The second horizontal drive member 5223 is located in the second... Above the base 521, a second vertical drive member 5224 is mounted on a second horizontal drive member 5223 to drive the first and second moving heads 5221 and 5222 to reciprocate in a direction closer to or away from the turntable 2. A third drive member 5225 is mounted on the second vertical drive member 5224 to drive the second moving head 5222 to reciprocate in a direction closer to or away from the turntable 2. The second horizontal drive member 5223, the second vertical drive member 5224, and the third drive member 5225 are all driven by cylinders. It should be noted that the structure of the first dual-head moving assembly 422 is similar to that of the second dual-head moving assembly 522, except that the first dual-head moving assembly 422 does not have the third drive member 5225.

[0042] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The structure of the first feeding mechanism 41 is the same as that of the second feeding mechanism 51, except that the materials supplied are different. Taking the second feeding mechanism 51 as an example, the second feeding mechanism 51 includes a second lifting component 511 and a second transfer component 512. A plastic frame is stacked on the second lifting component 511, and PCB boards are arranged in an array on the plastic frame. The second transfer component 512 is located between the second lifting component 511 and the second alignment seat 521 and is used to transfer the PCB boards in the plastic frame one by one to the second alignment slot 8 of the second alignment seat 521.

The X-axis linear drive module 5122 drives the loading gripper 5121 to reciprocate in the X-axis direction, the Y-axis linear drive module 5123 drives the loading gripper 5121 to reciprocate in the Y-axis direction, and the Z-axis linear drive module 5124 drives the loading gripper 5121 to reciprocate in the Z-axis direction. The loading gripper 5121 is used to pick up and place PCB boards, so that the loading gripper 5121 can transfer all the PCB boards in the frame to the second alignment slot 8. The X-axis linear drive module 5122, the Y-axis linear drive module 5123, and the Z-axis linear drive module 5124 can be driven by a motor lead screw or a cylinder, which is not limited here.

[0044] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The second transfer component 512 also includes a suction cup 5125 for picking up and placing the glue frame and a clearance drive 5126 for driving the suction cup 5125 to move vertically up and down. A placement frame 10 for placing empty glue frames is provided on one side of the second lifting component 511. The clearance drive 5126 drives the suction cup 5125 to move vertically upward to avoid interfering with the loading and clamping operation of the loading claw 5121. After all the PCB boards in a glue frame have been picked up, the clearance drive 5126 drives the suction cup 5125 to move vertically downward so that the height of the suction cup 5125 is lower than that of the loading claw 5121. Through the driving cooperation of the X-axis linear drive module 5122, Y-axis linear drive module 5123 and Z-axis linear drive module 5124, the empty glue frame is transferred to the placement frame 10 for collection by the suction cup 5125. There is no need for manual handling of the empty glue frame. Combined with the lifting operation of the second lifting component 511, continuous material supply can be achieved.

[0045] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As the turntable 2 rotates, the mounting base 3, which holds the face mask and PCB board, moves to a position close to the bottom shell loading device 6. Specifically, the bottom shell loading device 6 includes a third feeding mechanism 61 and a third alignment mechanism 62. The third feeding mechanism 61 automatically feeds the bottom shell into the third alignment mechanism 62. The third alignment mechanism 62, located between the third feeding mechanism 61 and the turntable 2, aligns the fed bottom shell and transfers it to the mounting base 3 containing the face mask and PCB board. The structure of the third feeding mechanism 61 is the same as that of the first feeding mechanism 41, and the structure of the third alignment mechanism 62 is the same as that of the first alignment mechanism 42. The difference is that the bottom shell loading device 6 feeds the bottom shell, which will not be described in detail here.

[0046] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3As the turntable 2 rotates, the mounting base 3, which holds the face mask, PCB board, and bottom shell, moves to a position close to the unloading device 7. Specifically, the unloading device 7 includes an unloading gripper 71, a pressing drive 72, an unloading transfer assembly 73, and an unloading frame 74. The unloading transfer assembly 73 drives the pressing drive 72 and the unloading gripper 71 to reciprocate between the unloading frame 74 and the turntable 2. The pressing drive 72 drives the unloading gripper 71 to move vertically up and down. The unloading gripper 71 is used to pick up and put down the assembled face mask, PCB board, and bottom shell. In this embodiment, the pressing drive 72 is driven by a cylinder, and the unloading transfer assembly 73 is driven by a motor screw. Further details are omitted here. The unloading transfer component 73 drives the unloading gripper 71 to reciprocate between the unloading frame 74 and the turntable 2 to realize the unloading operation. Before unloading, the pressing drive component 72 drives the unloading gripper 71 to move vertically downward to press the bottom shell, thereby realizing the snapping of the bottom shell and the face mask.

[0047] Reference Figure 3 A first detection device 11 is located on the turntable 2 between the PCB board loading device 5 and the bottom shell loading device 6. A second detection device 12 is located on the turntable 2 between the bottom shell loading device 6 and the unloading device 7. In this embodiment, the first detection device 11 and the second detection device 12 use a photographic method to detect whether the assembly is in place. At the same time, a sorting device 13 for removing defective products from the turntable 2 is also provided behind the unloading device 7 along the rotation direction of the turntable 2. The first detection device 11 and the second detection device 12 are both electrically connected to the unloading device 7 and the sorting device 13. The structure of the sorting device 13 is the same as that of the unloading device 7. When both detections show that the assembly is in place, the unloading device 7 removes the assembled lighting accessories from the turntable 2. When either detection shows that the assembly is not in place, the unloading device 7 does not perform the unloading operation, and the sorting device 13 sorts out the defective assembled products.

[0048] The implementation principle of a fully automatic assembly equipment according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: When it is necessary to assemble a face mask, PCB board, and base shell into a lighting accessory, the face mask feeding device 4 feeds the face mask into the mounting seat 3 on the turntable 2. During the face mask feeding process, the first feeding mechanism 41 automatically feeds the face mask into the first alignment mechanism 42. The first alignment mechanism 42 aligns the face mask and transfers it to the mounting seat 3. As the turntable 2 rotates intermittently, the mounting seat 3 containing the face mask rotates to a position close to the PCB board feeding device 5. At this time, the PCB board feeding device 5 feeds the PCB board into the mounting seat 3 containing the face mask for assembly. During the PCB board feeding process, the second feeding mechanism 51 automatically feeds the PCB board into the second alignment slot 8. The second alignment mechanism 52 aligns the PCB board and transfers it to the mounting seat 3 for assembly with the face mask. During the assembly process of the PCB board and the face mask, the second... The alignment mechanism 52 presses and pushes the PCB board so that the pins of the PCB board pass into the receiving cavity of the mask to form a connector. As the turntable 2 continues to rotate, the mounting base 3 rotates to a position close to the bottom shell feeding device 6. At this time, the bottom shell feeding device 6 feeds the bottom shell into the mounting base 3 for assembly with the mask. During the bottom shell feeding process, the third feeding mechanism 61 automatically feeds the bottom shell to the third alignment mechanism 62. The third alignment mechanism 62 aligns the bottom shell and transfers it to the mounting base 3 for assembly with the mask. As the turntable 2 continues to rotate, the mounting base 3 rotates to a position close to the unloading device 7. At this time, the unloading device 7 presses the bottom shell to make the bottom shell and the mask fasten and fix it. Then, the unloading device 7 removes the assembled lighting accessories from the mounting base 3. The entire assembly process of the lighting accessories does not require manual operation, has a high degree of automation, and is cyclical, which helps to improve the assembly efficiency of the lighting accessories.

[0049] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
