Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of non-standard automatic setting, in particular to an automatic assembly mechanism for a rubber cap. Background Art

[0002] The rubber cap 1, also known as the rubber protective cover, is often used as an external protective layer for various workpieces to achieve functions such as waterproofing and dustproofing. Figure 1 A rubber cap 1 is shown, which is designed as a hollow cylindrical structure. During the installation process, the operator needs to insert the workpiece from the opening 2 ends of the rubber cap 1 into the inside of the rubber cap 1, and rely on the interference fit formed between the rubber cap 1 and the workpiece to ensure that the rubber cap 1 is firmly fixed on the workpiece. In traditional processes, the installation of the rubber cap 1 is mostly done manually, and the specific steps are that the operator holds the workpiece with one hand and the rubber cap 1 with the other hand, and then puts the workpiece into the rubber cap 1. This manual installation method is more suitable for the assembly of small batches of workpieces, but when the workpiece production batch is large, due to the repetitiveness and labor intensity of manual operation, it will not only increase the workload of the operator, but also the installation consistency and quality stability of the rubber cap 1 are difficult to be effectively guaranteed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings to further describe the technical solution of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0032] A rubber cap automatic assembly mechanism comprises: a feeding channel 3, on which rubber caps 1 to be assembled are horizontally arranged, and the rubber caps 1 have an opening 2 facing one side, which is opposite to the moving direction of the rubber cap 1; a loading member 4, which has a pneumatic clamp 5 movably arranged on the side of the feeding channel 3, and the pneumatic clamp 5 is used to transport a workpiece 6 of the rubber cap 1 to be assembled; a steering block 7, which is rotatably arranged on the side of the feeding channel 3, the steering block 7 is located at the end of the moving path of the rubber cap 1 on the feeding channel 3, and is located below the pneumatic clamp 5, the steering block 7 is used to receive the rubber cap 1 and drive the rubber cap 1 to rotate, so that the opening 2 of the rubber cap 1 faces the workpiece 6 on the pneumatic clamp 5; a shaping member 8, which is arranged on the side of the steering block and is located at the end of the rotating path of the rubber cap 1 on the steering block 7, and the shaping member 8 is used to clamp the outer side of the opening 2 of the rubber cap 1 for inserting the workpiece 6 into the rubber cap 1.

[0033] Based on the above embodiments, an exemplary structure of this solution is as follows: Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the feeding channel is preferably in the form of a conveyor belt, one end of which is connected to a vibration plate (not shown in the figure), and the rubber cap 1 is transported to the feeding channel through the vibration plate. When the rubber cap 1 passes through the feeding channel and reaches the steering block 7, the steering block 7 causes the rubber cap 1 to rotate 90°, so that the direction of the opening 2 of the rubber cap 1 is converted from the original horizontal state to the vertical state. Considering that the material of the rubber cap 1 is flexible, before being assembled with the workpiece 6, its opening 2 may be deformed to a certain extent. For this reason, this scheme specially adds a shaping piece 8 on the side of the steering block 7 for shaping the opening 2 of the rubber cap 1. After the opening 2 of the rubber cap 1 is shaped and corrected, the feeding piece 4 uses the pneumatic clamp 5 equipped therewith to accurately insert the workpiece 6 to be assembled into the rubber cap 1, thereby realizing the automated assembly process of the rubber cap 1. Finally, the pneumatic clamp 5 takes the workpiece 6 that has completed the assembly process of the rubber cap 1 out of the steering block 7 and transfers it to the subsequent processing link.

[0034] In this solution, the steering block 7 is automatically moved by the feeding channel 3, and the steering block 7 cooperates with the pneumatic clamp 5 to automatically complete the assembly process of the rubber cap 1, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the rubber cap 1 and reducing the work intensity of the rubber cap 1 assembly. During the assembly process of the rubber cap 1, the rubber cap 1 is shaped to ensure the assembly quality of the rubber cap 1.

[0035] In the present solution, in order to realize the steering operation of the steering block 7 on the rubber cap 1 and to detect whether the loading part 4 has taken the assembled workpiece 6 out of the steering block 7, a groove 9 for accommodating the rubber cap 1 and a first through hole 10 passing through the groove 9 are provided on the steering block 7. Preferably, the groove 9 is a hole-like structure and the diameter of the groove 9 is slightly larger than the diameter of the rubber cap 1, so that the feeding channel 3 can correctly transport the rubber cap 1 into the groove 9. A first sensor 11 is provided in the first through hole 10. The first sensor 11 is used to sense whether there is a rubber cap 1 in the groove 9, thereby detecting whether the loading part 4 has taken the workpiece with the assembled rubber cap 1 out of the groove 9.

[0036] In addition, the shaping member 8 of the present scheme includes: a first support frame 12; a first driving member 13, which is connected to the first support frame 12 and is arranged upright; a second driving member 14, which is horizontally connected to the output end of the first driving member 13; two clamping blocks 15, which are connected to the output end of the second driving member 14, and the second driving member 14 is used to drive the two clamping blocks 15 to move closer to or away from each other, and the opposite sides of the two clamping blocks 15 are provided with semicircular grooves 16 that are compatible with the shape of the rubber cap 1, and the side walls of the semicircular grooves 16 are movably abutted against the outer side walls of the rubber cap 1.

[0037] After the steering block 7 drives the rubber cap 1 to complete the steering operation, the first driving member 13 drives the second driving member 14 to descend, and drives the two clamping blocks 15 to move to the two sides of the rubber cap 1. Then the second driving member 14 drives the two clamping blocks 15 to approach each other, and the semicircular groove 16 is pressed against the outer wall of the rubber cap 1 to complete the shaping operation of the rubber cap 1. The first driving member 13 and the second driving member 14 are preferably cylinders. After the steering block 7 completes the steering, the first driving member 13 drives the two clamping blocks 15 to descend, and before the steering block 7 rotates and resets, drives the two clamping blocks 15 to rise and reset, so as to prevent the two clamping blocks 15 from interfering with the rotation of the steering block 7, thereby ensuring the smooth progress of the shaping operation of the rubber cap 1.

[0038] In addition, the present solution further includes a third driving member 17, which is connected to the first support frame 12. The steering block 7 is connected to the output end of the third driving member 17 to drive the steering block 7 to rotate. Preferably, the third driving member 17 is a rotary cylinder.

[0039] In this solution, a second sensor 18 is arranged on the first support frame 12, and a second through hole 19 is arranged on the steering block 7. The second through hole 19 passes through the groove 9 and is arranged perpendicular to the axis of the rubber cap 1 in the groove 9. The second sensor 18 is used to sense whether the rubber cap 1 in the groove 9 is moved into place, thereby ensuring the assembly quality of the rubber cap 1.

[0040] Finally, the loading member 4 includes: a second support frame 20, which is arranged on the side of the feeding channel 3; a fourth driving member 21, which is horizontally connected to the second support frame 20; a fifth driving member 22, which is connected to the output end of the fourth driving member 21 and is vertically arranged; a moving seat 23, which is connected to the output end of the fifth driving member 22, and the pneumatic clamp 5 is connected to the moving seat 23.

[0041] The fourth driving member 21 is preferably a linear module, and the fifth driving member 22 is preferably a cylinder. When working, the fourth driving member 21 and the fifth driving member 22 drive the moving seat 23 to move in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction, thereby driving the pneumatic clamp 5 to move, thereby completing the assembly operation of the workpiece 6 and the rubber cap 1.
