Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of socket production, in particular to automatic assembly equipment for C13 sockets. Background Art

[0002] The previous C13 socket assembly process was divided into three steps, requiring 3-4 people to assemble manually at the same time: the first step is to carefully splice the C13 outer frame together to ensure that the frame is stably placed on the profile to keep it suspended, laying the foundation for the subsequent assembly work; the second step is to install anti-drop fasteners on both sides of the C13 socket core. These fasteners can effectively prevent the socket core from loosening or falling off during use, ensuring the stability and safety of the socket; the third step is to gently tap the socket core with the anti-drop fastener installed into the C13 outer frame to ensure that the socket core and the outer frame are tightly combined to form a complete and stable socket structure. After the above manual operation process, the C13 socket product module is assembled.

[0003] ① Complicated and inefficient assembly process: Traditional C13 socket assembly involves three main steps, each of which requires a separate operation. This step-by-step manual operation is not only inefficient, but also prone to human errors, affecting product quality. The conversion of materials between production steps requires additional time and manpower, which prolongs the overall production cycle and increases production and time costs.

[0004] ② The C13 frame installation is labor-intensive and has poor stability: In the first step, the C13 frame needs to be suspended and placed on the profile. This operation is cumbersome, and long-term manual operation can easily cause worker fatigue, which in turn affects the stability and quality of the installation. The installation quality of the frame is directly related to the overall structure and safety of the socket, so improvements in this link are crucial to improving product quality.

[0005] ③ Lack of automation and intelligent support: The existing assembly process mainly relies on manual operation and lacks the support of advanced automation and intelligent devices. This not only limits the expansion of production scale, but also limits the fault detection and early warning capabilities. The lack of automation and intelligent assembly processes makes it difficult to adapt to the high efficiency, precision and flexibility requirements of modern manufacturing. Utility Model Content

[0062] The utility model has the following advantages as a whole:

[0063] ①Solved the pain points of C13 socket assembly:

[0064] The C13 socket assembly process is completed manually by 3-4 people. The manual assembly efficiency is low. Due to psychological factors, the assembly efficiency of each worker is different. Personnel management is difficult, the turnover rate is high, there are many temporary workers, and the recruitment and management costs are high.

[0065] ②Necessity of developing automatic assembly production equipment for C13 sockets:

[0066] In summary, it is very important to automate the C13 socket assembly process. After investigation and analysis of the assembly process, it is found that consistent specifications of C13 socket components and large assembly quantities are the prerequisites for achieving automated production.

[0067] ③Key technologies of C13 socket assembly device:

[0068] The overall design of the C13 socket assembly device is different from the design of traditional automation devices in that a servo motor manipulator is used for assembly in a single assembly station. The traditional automation design uses a large number of cylinder actuators, which have the disadvantages of high noise, poor stability and low device efficiency. The use of the manipulator assembly design greatly improves the device efficiency, has good stability, low noise and other advantages. The automation visibility is high, and the device structure is simple and beautiful. The electronic control system uses EtherCAT bus technology, which is the most advanced bus technology in the current automation industry. EtherCAT bus technology is an internationally common bus standard and is also the current mainstream 6-DOF robot control bus.

[0069] ④The significance of developing C13 socket assembly device:

[0070] The manual assembly work is eliminated, the assembly efficiency of C13 sockets is improved, and from the perspective of cost-effectiveness, the development of C13 socket assembly equipment can bring considerable benefits to enterprises. Advantages: The operation intensity of the device operators is low, production management is convenient, and the output data can be checked in real time.
