[0036] like Figures 1 to 14As shown, the integrated laptop hinge assembly device provided by the present invention includes: a collection module 10, a transfer module 20, an aggregation module 30, an assembly module 40, a transfer module 50, a swing module 60, a locking nut module, a unloading module, and a horizontal base plate 90 for setting the collection module 10, the transfer module 20, the aggregation module 30, the assembly module 40, the transfer module 50, the swing module 60, the locking nut module, and the unloading module.

[0037] The aggregation module 10 aggregates the parts 2 of the torque adjustment component 1 into the assembly slot 11. The aggregation module 10 includes multiple vibratory feeders 12, and the discharge port of the vibratory feeder 12 is connected to the assembly slot 11 through the transport track 13.

[0038] The transfer module 20 includes pins 21 for picking up all parts 2 in the assembly slot 11. The pins 21 are rotatable and retractable. The retraction direction of the pins 21 is perpendicular to its rotation axis. The transfer module 20 transfers all parts 2 in the assembly slot 11 by rotating and retracting the pins 21.

[0039] The polymerization module 30 is used to remove all parts from the pin 21 and clamp them into a torque adjustment assembly 1. The polymerization module 30 includes a polymerization plate 31, an abutment block 32, a removal cylinder 33, and a removal block 34. The polymerization plate 31 is rotatably disposed on the side of the pin 21 away from the assembly groove 11. The abutment block 32 and the removal cylinder 33 are connected to the polymerization plate 31. The piston rod of the removal cylinder 33 intersects perpendicularly with the rotation axis of the polymerization plate 31. The removal block 34 is connected to the end of the piston rod of the removal cylinder 33. The upper surfaces of both the removal block 34 and the abutment block 32 are provided with pin holders. When part 2 is removed from the slot 35, the needle groove 35 is aligned with the assembly slot 11. The piston rod of the removal cylinder 33 extends. At this time, the pin 21 can be rotated to place its two ends into the needle groove 35 on the removal block 34 and the abutment block 32 respectively. Then, by retracting the piston rod of the removal cylinder 33, all parts 2 on the pin 21 can be removed and pushed towards the abutment block 32. The surfaces of the abutment block 32 and the removal block 34 on opposite sides are clamped to form the torque adjustment component 1. After removing part 2, the pin 21 retracts and rotates in the opposite direction to disengage from the polymerization module 30.

[0040] Assembly module 40 is used to fit the torque adjustment component 1, which clamps the abutment block 32 and the straightening block 34 in the polymerization module 30, onto the rotating shaft 4 of the support frame 3. Assembly module 40 includes assembly base 41, buffer base 42, and support frame 43. Assembly base 41 is movably configured. Buffer base 42 is movably connected to assembly base 41 via elastic element 44 for smooth insertion. Support frame 43 is rotatably connected to buffer base 42 to adjust the insertion angle and adapt to more models of laptop hinges. Support frame 43 is used to hold two supports 3. After placement, the rotating shaft 4 on the support frame 3 is parallel to the moving direction of assembly base 41. The moving direction of assembly base 41, the moving direction of buffer base 42, and the rotation axis of support frame 43 are all parallel to the extending direction of assembly groove 11. During insertion, the polymerization module... The rotation of the polymer plate 31 in module 30 causes the clamped torque adjustment component 1 to change direction, and the sliding block 34 to move between the torque adjustment component 1 and the assembly seat 41. Then, the assembly seat 41 is moved so that the rotating shaft 4 on the support seat 43 passes through the needle groove 35 on the sliding block 34 until the torque adjustment component 1 is fitted onto the rotating shaft 4. Then, the polymer plate 31 in the polymer module 30 is reversed to achieve disengagement. After fitting, the assembly seat 41 moves back to the origin in the opposite direction. The entire fitting action only requires manual connection of the two supports 3 through the rotating shaft 4 and then placing them on the support seat 43. The operation is simple and convenient. It should be noted that the side of the support seat 43 is provided with multiple columnar protrusions 45. When the support 3 is placed on the support seat 43, the protrusions 45 are embedded in the hole on one of the supports 3 to achieve fixation.

[0041] The transplanting module 50 is used to remove the support frame 3 after assembly (with the torque adjustment component 1 inserted). The transplanting module 50 includes transplanting grippers 51 that can move up and down, forward and backward, and left and right. The transplanting grippers 51 are designed to open and close to grip the support frame 3. To prevent the torque adjustment component 1 on the rotating shaft 4 from falling off during the movement, a baffle 52 for inserting into the end of the rotating shaft 4 is also connected to the transplanting grippers 51. When gripping, the baffle 52 is first inserted into the rotating shaft 4, and then the transplanting grippers 51 close. To avoid interference, the transplanting gripper 51 includes a fixed gripper 511 and a movable gripper 512. A baffle 52 is connected to the fixed gripper 511 in the transplanting gripper 51. The transplanting gripper 51 opens and closes by moving the movable gripper 512 toward or away from the fixed gripper 511. In other embodiments, the hole on the baffle 52 for the rotating shaft 4 is an oblong hole extending along the opening and closing direction of the transplanting gripper 51, so that the transplanting gripper 51 can be set to use a conventional opening and closing method.

[0042] The swing module 60 is used to realize the swing pre-grinding of two supports 3. The swing module 60 includes a rotatable swing seat 61 and a swing gripper 62 provided on one side of the swing seat 61. The rotation axis of the swing seat 61 extends vertically. The upper end surface of the swing seat 61 is provided with a support groove 63 to accommodate one of the supports 3. The support 3 is preferably an integral support 3 with the rotating shaft 4. After the support 3 is placed into the support groove 63, the rotating shaft 4 on the support 3 is vertically upward. The swing gripper 62 is used to clamp the other support 63. In order to improve efficiency, there are two swing modules 60 and they are arranged at intervals.

[0043] The nut locking module is used to lock nuts into the end of the rotating shaft 4. The nut locking module includes a nut feeding assembly 71 and an electric screwdriver 72 that can move up and down, back and forth, and left and right. The nut feeding assembly 71 uses a vibratory feeder and includes a nut vibratory feeder 711, a nut conveying track 712 connected to the outlet of the nut vibratory feeder 711, and a nut storage platform 713 connected to the end of the nut conveying track 712. After the support 3 is placed into the support slot 63, the swing gripper 62 clamps another support 63, the transfer gripper 51 disengages upward, the electric screwdriver 72 first picks up the nut, then moves it above the rotating shaft 4, then moves it downward and rotates it to lock the nut at the end of the rotating shaft 4 and press the torque adjustment assembly 1 on the rotating shaft 4. Then the electric screwdriver 72 moves upward and disengages. After disengagement, the swing seat 61 rotates to perform swing pre-grinding.

[0044] The unloading module is used to remove the support frame 3 with the nut locked in the support frame groove 63. The unloading module includes an openable unloading claw 81, which is located on one side of the electric screwdriver 72 and moves synchronously with it.

[0045] The advantage of this setup is that the assembly of the laptop hinge can be completed simply by manually placing two assembled supports 3 on the support base 63. This results in high production efficiency and yield, good consistency, low labor and component costs, and ease of promotion and use.

[0046] In this embodiment, the vibratory feeder 12 of the assembly module 10 is connected to the horizontal base plate 90, and the assembly groove 11 extends horizontally in the left-right direction.

The portion of the transfer plate 23 on one side of the first rotary cylinder 25 is longer (long end), and the other side is shorter (short end). When the transfer plate 23 is in the initial position, the long end of the transfer plate 23 extends horizontally. The transfer plate 23 extends horizontally towards the assembly slot 11. When the transfer plate 23 rotates to its limit position, the long end of the transfer plate 23 extends horizontally and away from the assembly slot 11. The transfer cylinder 24 is connected to the front surface of the transfer plate 23 and extends in the same direction as the transfer plate 23. The cylinder body of the transfer cylinder 24 intersects the rotation axis of the transfer plate 23 perpendicularly. The pin 21 is connected to the end of the piston rod of the transfer cylinder 24. The pin 21 extends in a direction parallel to the piston rod of the transfer cylinder 24 or is coaxial with the piston rod. When the transfer cylinder 24 is activated, the pin 21 extends and retracts. When the first rotary cylinder 25 is activated, the pin 21 rotates.

Specifically, the polymerization seat 36 is located on the side of the transfer seat 22 away from the assembly slot 11. The servo motor 37 is connected to the rear side of the polymerization seat 36, and the output end of the servo motor 37 passes through the polymerization seat 36 and extends forward. The polymerization plate 31 is located on the front side of the polymerization seat 36. The polymerization plate 31 is a vertical plate extending in the left-right direction, that is, the plane where the polymerization plate 31 is located is parallel to the extension direction of the assembly slot 11. The upper end of the polymerization plate 31 is connected to the servo motor 39. The output end of machine 37 is connected to achieve rotation. This setting allows for precise control of the position of the polymerization plate 31, ensuring accurate alignment of the needle slot 35 and pin 21 during polymerization, and smooth insertion of the rotating shaft 4 during subsequent assembly. The rotation axis of the polymerization plate 31 extends in the front-to-back direction, parallel to the rotation axis of the pin 21. When the polymerization plate 31 is in its initial position, the squeegee 34 is located between the abutment block 32 and the assembly groove 11. When the polymerization plate 31 rotates to the assembly position, the abutment block 32 is located between the squeegee 34 and the assembly groove 11. The cylinder 33 is then connected. Extending horizontally in the left-right direction on the front surface of the polymer plate 31, a slitting cylinder 33 is movably connected to the polymer plate 31 for easy alignment. The moving direction of the slitting cylinder 33 is perpendicular to its piston rod. Specifically, the polymer plate 31 is provided with a vertical guide rail 311, and the seat plate of the slitting cylinder 33 is movably connected to the vertical guide rail 311 to adjust the position of the slitting cylinder 33 in the vertical direction. After adjustment, it should be locked by locking bolts or other means. The polymer clamping claw 38 is located on the side of the abutment block 32 facing the slitting block 34. The front surface is also connected to a polymerization cylinder 39. The polymerization gripper 38 is connected to the polymerization plate 31 through the polymerization cylinder 39.
