[0034] Traditional camera assembly methods mainly rely on manual operations, which is not only inefficient but also difficult to meet the needs of large-scale production. In order to improve the manufacturing efficiency of cameras, some automated assembly equipment has been used in the manufacturing process of cameras in the prior art. However, these devices are often designed for specific models or sizes of cameras and lack flexibility and adaptability. When the production line needs to be changed to produce different models of cameras, the existing assembly equipment often needs to be cumbersomely adjusted or even replaced, which greatly reduces production efficiency and increases production costs.

[0035] Based on this, the present application provides a camera assembly machine. Example

[0039] On the workbench 11, a clamping mechanism 14 is provided, which is composed of four clamping plates 41, and the four clamping plates 41 are evenly arranged at the edge of the loading port 12 along the circumference of the loading port 12. The cross section of the loading port 12 can be circular or rectangular. A clamping position 43 with adjustable size is formed between the four clamping plates 41 to adapt to the clamping of camera bodies of different sizes. Each clamping plate 41 is connected to the workbench 11 through a first slider 112 on a first guide rail 111, so that the clamping plate 41 can slide on the first guide rail 111, and the first guide rail 111 is provided on the workbench 11, so that the clamping plate 41 can easily change its position on the workbench 11, so as to adjust the clamping position 43. Specifically, the size adjustment of the clamping position 43 is achieved by providing a clamping cylinder 3 at the bottom of the workbench 11. The length direction of the piston rod of the clamping cylinder 3 is the same as the length direction of the first guide rail 111. When the size of the clamping position 43 needs to be adjusted, the clamping cylinder 3 drives the connecting plate 31 through the piston rod, thereby driving the first slider 112 and the clamping plate 41 to move on the guide rail to achieve the purpose of adjusting the size of the clamping position 43. A support plate 42 is also provided at the bottom of the clamping plate 41, and the support plate 42 extends along the edge of the loading port 12 toward the center of the loading port 12. The clamping plate 41 is used to support the camera body.

The elastic block 5212 can be a spring or made of rubber, and has an elastic structure. Specifically, the receiving ring 521 corresponds to the clamping position 43.

[0043] More preferably, in one embodiment, the pressing bracket 51 is provided with a second guide rail 511, which is arranged along the height direction of the pressing mechanism 5, and a second slider 512 is installed on the second guide rail 511. The pressing plate 52 is fixedly connected to the second slider 512, and the piston rod of the pressing cylinder 53 is extended and retracted to drive the pressing plate 52 to move up and down on the guide rail, thereby realizing the pressing of the camera body and the housing.

[0044] In addition, in another embodiment, in order to ensure the stability of the movement of the pressing plate 52 and further improve the accuracy of the pressing, a guide rod 54 is further provided on the workbench 11, and the guide rod 54 is provided at the edge of the feeding port 12 and corresponds to the pressing bracket 51. A connecting sleeve 522 is provided on the pressing plate 52, and the connecting sleeve 522 is sleeved on the guide rod 54, and there is a clearance fit between the connecting sleeve 522 and the guide rod 54, so that the pressing plate 52 can stably move along the guide rod 54 during the lifting process, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the pressing.

[0045] The camera assembly machine claimed for protection in the present application can realize efficient and accurate assembly of camera bodies of different sizes and models through its flexible clamping mechanism 14, automatic feeding mechanism 2 and precise pressing mechanism 5, thereby greatly improving the production efficiency of the camera and helping to ensure the product quality of the camera.
