Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of suction cup processing equipment technology, and specifically to a special assembly equipment for suction cup clips. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing demand for home storage and decoration, such as utilizing wall space to install various household tools and decorative items, these tools or decorations often use a combination of suction cups and clips to avoid damaging the wall surface. The core of this system is the suction cup adhering to a smooth wall surface and the clips securing it tightly. The clips are used to secure the main body of shelves, ensuring stable installation. Referring to the image, the suction cup has two symmetrically distributed lugs on its top, and the clip has a matching snap in the middle. Simply place the clip on top of the suction cup, aligning it with the lugs, and press firmly to complete the assembly. However, the assembly of suction cups and clips currently relies mainly on manual labor, resulting in low efficiency and difficulty in guaranteeing assembly accuracy. Some companies, to save on labor costs, only handle production, packaging and selling the suction cups, clips, and main body for consumers to assemble themselves. This manual assembly method makes accurate alignment difficult, easily affecting the connection strength and security between the suction cup and clips. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "length", "width", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.

[0020] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.

[0021] like Figure 1-12As shown, a suction cup fastener assembly device includes a first feeding device 1, a second feeding device 2, a gripping device 3, and an assembly device 4. The first feeding device 1 and the second feeding device 2 are respectively provided with feeding channels 11 for sequentially conveying suction cups 98 and for sequentially conveying fasteners 99. The gripping device 3 includes a transfer mechanism 30 and a first gripping mechanism 31 and a second gripping mechanism 32 disposed at the tail end of the transfer mechanism 30. The transfer mechanism 30 can be directly implemented by a robot, can move in multiple axes, and moves more flexibly and stably. The rotation and lifting of the first gripping mechanism 31 and the second gripping mechanism 32 can be realized by the transfer mechanism 30, which is used to grip the suction cups 98 and the fasteners 99, respectively. The assembly device 4 includes a pressing mechanism 41, a positioning clamp assembly 42, and an assembly channel 43 for placing the suction cups 98. The width of the assembly channel 43 corresponds to the overall width of the suction cups 98, so that only one suction cup 98 can pass through the assembly channel 43 at a time, thereby limiting the movement of the suction cups 98. To prevent the suction cup 98 from shifting laterally during assembly, the positioning clamp assembly 42 includes clamping plates 422 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the assembly channel 43, and a pushing member 423 for driving the two clamping plates 422 to move closer or further away from each other synchronously. The pushing member 423 can be implemented by a telescopic cylinder. Both clamping plates 422 have multiple arc-shaped openings 4220. When the two clamping plates 422 move closer to each other, the corresponding arc-shaped openings 4220 on the two clamping plates 422 merge to form a positioning hole corresponding to the center of the suction cup 98, which is used to clamp the suction cup 98. The suction cup 98 has a specific structure of an adsorption body, with a latch at the top that connects to the fastener 99. A disc is located between the adsorption body and the latch. This is a conventional suction cup structure. Since the adsorption body of the suction cup 98 is typically conical in shape and its top is not flat, and because the adsorption body is too thin, a thickened disc is placed at the center of the top to improve the strength between the latch and the adsorption body. The latch is then mounted on the disc. The two clamping plates 422 specifically clamp the disc. The pressing mechanism 41 includes multiple pressing heads 410, which are used to pre-position and assemble the fastener 99 and the suction cup 98. The pressing mechanism 41 can be a propulsion cylinder. The assembly channel 43 is equipped with multiple through holes corresponding to the center of the suction cup 98. A push rod 431 is installed in the through hole. The cooperation between the push rod 431 and the through hole ensures the vertical linear movement of the assembly channel 43. The push rod 431 is fitted with a spring 4311, which elastically extends and retracts within the assembly channel 43. That is, the assembly channel 43 as a whole can achieve elastic vertical movement. When the pressure head 410 presses down on the buckle 99, if the pressure head 410 continues to press down after it has reached its position, it will push the assembly channel 43 down as a whole, avoiding the assembly channel 43 and the pressure head 410 from being squeezed together and damaging the suction cup 98.By configuring a first feeding device 1, a second feeding device 2, a gripping device 3, and an assembly device 4, the entire process of feeding the suction cup 98 and the fastener 99 from material feeding and gripping to pressing and assembly is fully automated. The first feeding device 1 and the second feeding device 2 are used to transport the suction cup 98 and the fastener 99, respectively. The gripping device 3 grips and transfers them to the assembly device 4, where the assembly device 4 automatically positions and assembles the suction cup 98 and the fastener 99. Compared with the traditional manual assembly method, this equipment can complete the assembly process continuously and at high speed, improving processing efficiency. A clamping plate 422 assembly is also provided, which clamps the disc portion of the suction cup 98. Then, the second gripping mechanism 32 places the fastener 99 onto the suction cup 98. Because the suction cup 98 is clamped and fixed... When the fastener 99 is in place, the second gripping mechanism 32 remains stationary to prevent misalignment between the suction cup 98 and the fastener 99. After the fastener 99 is placed, the pressing mechanism 41 presses down the pressing head 410 for the first time to achieve the pre-positioning of the fastener 99 and the suction cup 98. At this time, the pressing head 410 is in a state of pressing against the fastener 99, so that the fastener 99 is partially embedded in the buckle ear, ensuring that the fastener 99 and the suction cup 98 will not shift their positions. The second gripping mechanism 32 removes and releases the fastener 99, and the pressing mechanism 41 presses down the pressing head 410 again, thereby pressing the fastener 99 onto the suction cup 98, completing the assembly of the suction cup 98 and the fastener 99, ensuring the precise alignment of the fastener 99 and the suction cup 98, thereby significantly improving the connection strength and firmness between the suction cup 98 and the fastener 99.

[0022] In some embodiments, a push plate 45 is provided at one end of the assembly channel 43, and a discharge belt 44 is connected to the other end. The discharge belt 44 is a conveyor belt with a power component, which can deliver the suction cup 98 out of the device. The width of the discharge belt 44 is the same as that of the assembly channel 43. The push plate 45 is driven by a linear sliding table, causing the push plate 45 to move back and forth along the length of the assembly channel 43 to push the assembled finished product to the discharge belt 44. Specifically, the push plate 45 is L-shaped and is located at the top of the assembly channel 43. One end is a bent section used to hook the suction cup 98, and the other end is connected to a linear sliding table. As the linear sliding table slides, it pushes the suction cup 98 in the assembly channel 43 to the discharge belt 44. Since the widths of the assembly channel 43 and the discharge belt 44 correspond to the width of the suction cup 98, the suction cup 98 can only move sequentially towards the discharge belt 44. After the pressure head 410 completes the downward assembly, it rises back to its original position, and the positioning clamp assembly 42 releases its grip on the suction cup 98. Only then does the push plate 45 push the suction cup 98 out of the discharge belt 44. To distinguish between good and defective products, improve packaging and shipping efficiency, and facilitate subsequent maintenance, the discharge belt 44 is equipped with a good product outlet 442 and a defective product outlet 441. Specifically, multiple push cylinders 46 are arranged on one side of the inlet end of the discharge belt 44, and a defective product outlet 441 is opened on the other side. The output end of the push cylinders 46 is equipped with a push plate 460, and the push plate 460 is equipped with a detector for detecting assembled finished products. Since the suction cups 98 maintain a sequential order from the assembly channel 43 to the discharge belt 44... Therefore, when each suction cup 98 enters the discharge belt 44, the suction cup 98 and the pusher plate 460 correspond one-to-one. The detector checks whether the corresponding suction cup 98 is assembled in place and whether there is any tilting. The detector can directly use a vision sensor. If a defective product is detected, the corresponding pusher cylinder 46 is controlled to push it out, pushing the suction cup 98 to the defective product outlet 441. The outlet end of the discharge belt 44 is the good product outlet 442. After the good products are inspected, they are output from the discharge belt 44 to the good product outlet 442, which is the outlet end of the discharge belt 44.

[0023] In some embodiments, the assembly channel 43 is provided with a plurality of through holes corresponding to the center of the suction cup 98. A push rod 431 is provided in the through hole. A spring 4311 is sleeved on the push rod 431, and the spring 4311 elastically extends and retracts within the assembly channel 43. The assembly channel 43 is provided with a plurality of through holes, and each through hole is provided with a push rod 431. The outer diameter of the push rod 431 corresponds to the inner diameter of the through hole, so that the push rod 431 can move up and down through the through hole.

[0024] In Example 2, to ensure the smooth feeding of suction cups 98 and fasteners 99, and to ensure that the gripping device 3 can smoothly grip the assembly device 4, both the first feeding device 1 and the second feeding device 2 include a vibratory feeder 20. The vibratory feeder 20 is connected to the inlet end of the feeding channel 11. Both the first feeding device 1 and the second feeding device 2 include a sliding rail 12. The sliding rail 12 and the feeding channel 11 are arranged in a T-shape. The middle part of the sliding rail 12 is connected to the outlet end of the feeding channel 11. The suction cups 98 and fasteners 99 are sequentially fed to the feeding channel 11 via the vibratory feeder 20. A material rack 13 is slidably arranged on the sliding rail 12. The material rack 13 has multiple limiting ports facing the outlet end of the feeding channel 11 for receiving the suction cups 98 or fasteners 99 output from the feeding channel 11. A limiting plate 14 extends from the side of the sliding rail 12 near the feeding channel 11 to cooperate with the limiting port to position the suction cups 98 and 99. The limiting plate 14 can be set at one end of the sliding rail 12 to save costs, with the feeding channel 11 as the center, one end of the sliding rail 12 as the initial end and the other end as the final end. The limiting plate 14 can be set on one side of the final end of the sliding rail 12. The material rack 13 is located at the initial end and gradually receives the suction cup 98 or the fastener 99 of the feeding channel 11 through each limiting port of the feeding channel 11, and moves towards the final end. When one of the limiting ports on the material rack 13 moves to the outlet end of the corresponding feeding channel 11, it is used to receive the suction cup 98 and the fastener 99. When one of the limiting ports on the material rack 13 moves to the corresponding limiting plate 14, the material rack 13 cooperates with the limiting plate 14 to fix the suction cup 98 and the fastener 99. That is, when the material rack 13 has completely passed through the feeding channel 11 and reached the end, the material rack 13 and the limiting plate 14 limit and fix the suction cup 98 or the fastener 99, waiting for the gripping device 3 to grip it. The length direction of the sliding rail 12 is perpendicular to the length direction of the feeding channel 11. The material rack 13 slides on the sliding rail 12 and has multiple limiting ports arranged in sequence according to the sliding direction of the sliding rail 12. Each limiting port faces the outlet of the feeding channel 11. When the material rack 13 slides past the outlet of the feeding channel 11, the suction cup 98 or the fastener 99 enters each limiting port in sequence through the feeding channel 11. The middle part of the sliding rail 12 is connected to the outlet end of the feeding channel 11.

[0025] The suction cup 98 and the fastener 99 are fed in the same way, both supplied to the feeding channel 11 by the vibrating plate 20 and then into the material rack 13. When the material rack 13 is full, the gripping device 3 grips them simultaneously. To elaborate, the feeding channel 11 has a power unit and a conveying plane at the bottom. The power unit drives the conveying plane, thereby moving the suction cup 98 or the fastener 99 forward. A height limit bar is provided at the top of the feeding channel 11 to limit the suction cup 98 or the fastener 99 from tilting or stacking. The width of the feeding channel 11 corresponds to the diameter of the suction cup 98 or the width of the fastener 99, ensuring that the suction cup 98 and the fastener 99 can pass through the feeding channel 11 in sequence. Moreover, the fastener 99 or the suction cup 98 located on the material rack 13 protrude upwards from the material rack 13, making it convenient for the gripping device 3 to grip and transfer them.

[0026] Further explanation: The sliding rail 12, linear moving slide, pressing mechanism 41, etc., included in the first feeding device 1 and the second feeding device 2 can all be implemented by devices that can precisely control the process, such as hydraulic cylinders or pneumatic cylinders.

[0027] In embodiment 3, the second feeding device 2 is used to feed the fastener 99. The fastener 99 is fed to the feeding channel 11 through the vibrating plate 20 and then enters into the limiting ports of the material rack 13. The first feeding device 1 and the second feeding device 2 have the same number of limiting ports in the material rack 13. Since the fastener 99 has a rectangular structure, it can enter the material rack 13 in a uniform orientation order through the vibrating plate 20. The first feeding device 1 is used to feed the suction cup 98. It is also supplied to the feeding channel 11 via the vibrating plate 20. However, the suction cup 98 is generally conical in shape, and the vibrating plate 20 cannot ensure that the orientation of its buckles is uniform. Therefore, in order to ensure that the suction cup 98 enters the assembly device 4 with a uniform orientation and to ensure that the suction cup 98 and the buckle 99 are smoothly assembled on the assembly device 4, the tail end of the transfer mechanism 30 is provided with a visual detector 300 and a mounting bracket 33. The mounting bracket 33 is rotatably connected to the tail end of the transfer mechanism 30, and the first gripping mechanism 31 and the second gripping mechanism 32 are respectively provided on the mounting bracket 300. On both sides of the mounting bracket 33, the first gripping mechanism 31 includes a plurality of vertical actuators 311 arranged in an array. Each vertical actuator 311 is connected to the mounting bracket 33 via a rotation drive 312, so that each vertical actuator 311 can rotate horizontally on the mounting bracket 33. The rotation drive 312 can be implemented using a common servo motor or other power device capable of driving the vertical actuators 311 to rotate horizontally. Each rotation drive 312 is provided with a turntable 313, and the turntable 313 has a positioning port. The mounting bracket 33 has a plurality of original parts that cooperate with the turntable 313. Point sensor 314 causes the vertical actuator 311 and the rotation drive 312 to automatically return to center. Each of the vertical actuators 311 has a gripper 3111 at its bottom for holding the latch ear. The gripper 3111 has a slot corresponding to the width of the latch ear. Before the gripping device 3 grasps and transfers the suction cup 98, a vision detector 300 checks whether each suction cup 98 on the preparation rack 13 corresponds to a predetermined orientation. If the orientation of the suction cup 98 deviates, the rotation drive 312 controls the rotation angle of the vertical actuator 311 used to grip the suction cup 98 with that angular deviation. The first gripping mechanism 31 moves down and uses each vertical actuator 311 to grip each suction cup 98 on the material rack 13. During the transfer process after gripping, the vertical actuator 311 rotates to the correct position under the control of the origin sensor 314, so that the orientation of the buckle on the suction cup 98 corresponds to the predetermined orientation. The a gripper 3111 has an a slot, which corresponds to the width distance of the buckle. Even if there is a slight deviation between the rotation angle of the vertical actuator 311 and the offset angle of the suction cup 98, the angle can be adjusted by driving the suction cup 98 to rotate during the process of the a gripper 3111 tightening and gripping the buckle.The second gripping mechanism 32 includes a lifting drive 321 and multiple horizontal actuators 322 connected to the lifting drive 321. Each of the multiple horizontal actuators 322 has a gripper 3222 (b-shaped) at its end away from the first gripping mechanism 31. The gripper 3222 has a slot (b-shaped) that fits the width of the latching member 99. The lifting drive 321 connects to the multiple horizontal actuators 322 via a connecting frame, enabling the multiple horizontal actuators 322 to rise or fall together, thus gripping the latching member 99 on the material preparation rack 13. Further explanation: the number of limiting openings on the material preparation rack 13 is equal to the number of vertical actuators 311 and horizontal actuators 322, and corresponds to the number of arc-shaped openings 4220 on the clamping plate 422, for example... Figure 2 and 3 The material preparation rack 13 has 4 limit ports, the first gripping mechanism 31 is equipped with 4 vertical actuators 311, and the second gripping mechanism 32 is equipped with 4 horizontal actuators 322.

[0028] It also includes an assembly platform, with all parts integrated on the platform. Specifically, the first feeding device 1, the second feeding device 2, and the assembly device 4 are arranged in a C-shape. The gripping device 3 is located between the first feeding device 1 and the assembly device 4, and can access the first feeding device 1, the second feeding device 2, and the assembly device 4 in sequence by rotating in one direction, saving space. The first gripping mechanism 31 and the second gripping mechanism 32 are respectively placed on both sides of the mounting bracket 33, that is, the first gripping mechanism 31 is mounted on the mounting bracket 33 and faces the first feeding device 1. After the transfer mechanism 30 moves to the first feeding device 1 to grip the suction cup 98, the mounting bracket 33 rotates horizontally by 90 degrees, so that the second gripping mechanism 32 faces the second feeding device 2. At this time, the first gripping mechanism 31 and the gripped suction cup 98 face the transfer mechanism 30. After the second gripping mechanism 32 finishes gripping the fastener 99, the mounting bracket 33 rotates 90 degrees again. At this time, the first gripping mechanism 31 faces the assembly device 4 and is placed into the assembly channel 43. The suction cup 98 is clamped and fixed on the assembly channel 43 by the positioning clamp assembly 42, and the mounting bracket 33 is driven to rotate 180 degrees in the opposite direction, so that the second gripping mechanism 32 faces the assembly device 4. The mounting bracket 33 is driven to move down until the buckle 99 on the horizontal actuator 322 is placed on the suction cup 98. At this time, the suction cup 98 is limited by the assembly channel 43 and the positioning clamp assembly 42, and the buckle 99 is limited by the horizontal actuator 322. The pressing mechanism 41 drives multiple pressing heads. 410 performs the first stage of downward pressure, with multiple pressure heads 410 simultaneously pressing down against the buckle 99 and partially pushing the buckle 99 into the latch of the suction cup 98 to achieve the pre-positioning of the buckle 99 and the suction cup 98. The second gripping mechanism 32 releases the buckle 99 and returns it to its original position. The pressing mechanism 41 then drives the pressure head 410 to perform the second stage of downward pressure, fully pressing the buckle 99 in to achieve the assembly of the buckle 99 and the suction cup 98. After completion, the push plate 45 pushes the finished suction cup 98 out of the assembly channel 43.

[0029] The above description is merely an embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of the present invention specification, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
