Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of photovoltaic cell production, and more specifically to a needle pressing tooling assembly device. Background Art
[0002] The pin press tool is a commonly used tool in the battery string manufacturing equipment in photovoltaic modules. During the battery string manufacturing process, the pin press tool is used to fix the soldering tape on the battery cell or fix the battery cell.
[0003] like Figure 23 to Figure 25 As shown, the pressing needle tooling includes a tooling body 200 and an elastic pressing needle inserted into the pressing needle hole on the tooling body 200. The elastic pressing needle includes a pressing needle 201 for contacting the solder strip or the battery cell, and a spring 202 for providing a contraction force. When the pressing needle tooling is placed on the surface of the battery cell to fix the solder strip on the surface of the battery cell, the spring 202 is compressed, and the end of the pressing needle 201 contacts the solder strip on the surface of the battery cell, thereby fixing the solder strip on the surface of the battery cell. When the pressing needle tooling is removed from the surface of the battery cell, the spring 202 automatically returns to a natural state without force.
[0004] In the prior art, the assembly of the press needle tool is usually done manually, where a worker sequentially inserts the spring 202 and the press needle 201 into the press needle hole of the tool body 200. Since each press needle tool needs to be installed with a large number of elastic press needles, the manual installation method is inefficient. Utility Model Content

It can be seen that through the cooperation of the feeding mechanism, the transfer mechanism, the installation mechanism and the receiving mechanism, the press pin tooling assembly equipment provided by the present application realizes the automatic assembly of the press pin tooling, thereby improving the assembly efficiency and saving labor costs.

[0016] The moving part first drives the spring mounting part to move, so that the guide plug is close to the tooling body and aligned with one of the pressing pin holes on the tooling body. Then, the first lifting drive unit drives the first mounting bracket to descend, so that the guide plug is close to or inserted downward into the pressing pin hole; then, a spring is sent into the first guide hole from the upper end opening of the first guide hole, and the spring can fall into the pressing pin hole through the first guide hole and the discharge hole in turn, thereby realizing the precise installation of the spring.
[0017] In some embodiments, the spring mounting part includes a first lifting drive unit, a first mounting bracket, a guide seat, a guide plug, a first drive unit, a support member and a blocking member, wherein: the first lifting drive unit is connected to the movable part of the moving part, and the first mounting bracket is connected to the movable part of the first lifting drive unit; the guide seat is installed on the first mounting bracket, and a first guide hole extending in a vertical direction is provided in the guide seat, and the first guide hole is used to convey the spring; the guide plug is installed at the lower end of the guide seat, and a discharge hole connected to the first guide hole is provided in the guide plug; the fixed part of the first drive unit is installed on the first mounting bracket, and the support member and the blocking member are both connected to the movable part of the first drive unit, and the blocking member is located above the support member.

[0018] By providing the support member and the blocking member, multiple springs can be cached in the first guide hole, thereby speeding up the spring installation cycle and improving the installation efficiency of the spring installation part. In addition, through the cooperation of the support member and the blocking member, the guide plug only installs the spring at the bottom of the first guide hole into the pressure pin hole each time, and the other springs in the first guide hole are blocked in the first guide hole and will not fall with the first spring.
[0019] In some embodiments, the first driving unit includes a first cylinder and a moving seat, wherein: the first cylinder is arranged on a first mounting bracket; the moving seat is slidably connected to the first mounting bracket and is connected to the driving end of the first cylinder; the moving seat is provided with a first connecting block located on the first side of the guide seat and a second connecting block located on the second side of the guide seat, the support member is installed on the first connecting block, and the blocking member is connected to the second connecting block; the first cylinder is used to drive the moving seat to slide horizontally between a first position and a second position, wherein: when the first cylinder drives the moving seat to slide horizontally to the first position, the support member is translated to the supporting position, and the blocking member is translated to the second discharging position; when the first cylinder drives the moving seat to slide horizontally to the second position, the support member is translated to the first discharging position, and the blocking member is translated to the blocking position.
[0020] By setting the first driving unit, it is achieved that only one cylinder is set to drive the supporting member and the blocking member to translate synchronously, so that when the supporting member translates to the supporting position, the blocking member translates to the second discharging position, and when the supporting member translates to the first discharging position, the blocking member translates to the blocking position, thereby reducing the structural complexity and cost of the first driving unit.
[0021] In some embodiments, the blocking member is a cutting pin, which is used to be inserted into the gap between the first spring and the second spring to block the second spring; or, the blocking member is a spring ejector pin, which is used to press against the side of the second spring to block the second spring.

By using a spring ejector pin as a blocking member, the thick spring can be pressed into the guide hole, thereby achieving blocking for the thick spring.
[0023] In some embodiments, a blowing slot extending in a vertical direction that opens the first guide hole is provided on the guide seat; the spring mounting portion also includes a blowing member, which is used to blow air obliquely downward through the blowing slot toward the first guide hole to push the spring in the first guide hole downward.

[0026] The moving part first drives the pressure needle installation part to move so that the clamping assembly is aligned with the pressure needle hole on the tooling body, and then the second lifting drive unit drives the second installation bracket to descend, so that the clamping assembly approaches or inserts downward into the pressure needle hole, and finally ensures that the pressure needle falls into the pressure needle hole through the second guide hole and the clamping channel. In addition, before installing the pressure needle to the pressure needle hole, the first chuck and the second chuck are controlled to clamp together, and the clamping limit of the pressure needle located in the clamping channel can be implemented to prevent the pressure needle from falling accidentally. When the pressure needle needs to be installed to the pressure needle hole, the first chuck and the second chuck are controlled to open, and the pressure needle can fall into the pressure needle hole.

In addition, when the second clamping assembly installs the pressure pin currently located at the bottom to the pressure pin hole, the first clamping assembly implements blocking and limiting of other pressure pins, thereby preventing other pressure pins from falling with the currently installed pressure pin.

[0030] Only one finger cylinder is required to realize synchronous reverse driving of the second clamping assembly and the first clamping assembly, that is, when one of the two is opened, the other is clamped, thereby reducing the cost of the second driving unit.

[0032] In conventional press needle tooling, the spring steel wire of the spring in the press needle hole at the middle position is relatively thick, and the spring steel wire of the spring in the press needle holes at both ends is relatively thin. By providing two sets of spring mounting parts, the two sets of spring mounting parts cooperate with each other to complete the installation of springs in all press needle holes on the press needle tooling.

[0044] When the assembled pressing pin tooling passes through the detection space driven by the carrier, the detection mechanism composed of the laser transmitter and the laser receiver completes the spring missing detection of each row of pressing pins on the pressing pin tooling row by row, improving the detection efficiency. If a pressing pin in a row of pressing pins currently located between the laser transmitter and the laser receiver has a missing spring, the laser emitted by the laser transmitter is blocked by the pressing pin with the missing spring, thereby triggering the laser receiver to generate a detection signal.

[0099] The transfer mechanism 2 is arranged on the base 1, and the moving path of the transfer mechanism 2 (such as Figure 1 A feeding station A, an installation station B and a receiving station C are arranged on the X-axis direction.
[0100] The feeding mechanism 3 is arranged on the base 1 and located at the feeding station A. The feeding mechanism 3 is used to cache the tooling bodies to be assembled. When the transfer mechanism 2 moves to the feeding station A, it obtains a tooling body from the feeding mechanism 3 and moves the tooling body to the installation station B.
[0101] The mounting mechanism 4 is disposed on the base 1 and located at the mounting station B. The mounting mechanism 4 is used to mount the spring and the pressing needle on the tooling body located at the mounting station B. The transfer mechanism 2 moves the assembled pressing needle tooling to the receiving station C.
[0102] The material receiving mechanism 5 is arranged on the base 1 and is located at the material receiving station C. The transfer mechanism 2 transfers the assembled needle pressing tooling to the material receiving mechanism 5 at the material receiving station C.
[0103] The optional working process of the needle pressing tooling assembly device in the embodiment of the present application is as follows:
[0104] The tool body is stored in the feeding mechanism 3 with its back side facing upward (i.e. the opening of the pressing needle hole faces upward).
[0105] The transfer mechanism 2 is controlled to move to the feeding station A, a tooling body with the back side facing upward is obtained from the feeding mechanism 3, and the tooling body is moved to the installation station B.
[0106] The installation mechanism 4 first installs the spring into the pressure pin hole, and then installs the pressure pin into the pressure pin hole where the spring is installed. The installation mechanism 4 can choose to install the pressure pin after completing the spring installation of all the pressure pin holes on the tooling body. The installation mechanism 4 can also choose to install the pressure pin into the pressure pin hole immediately after completing the spring installation of a pressure pin hole, until the spring and pressure pin installation of all the pressure pin holes on the tooling body are completed.
[0107] Next, the transfer mechanism 2 is controlled to move the assembled needle pressing tooling to the material receiving station C, and the transfer mechanism 2 is controlled to transfer the assembled needle pressing tooling to the material receiving mechanism 5 .
[0108] In the embodiment of the present application, the feeding mechanism 3 realizes the automatic feeding of the tooling body to be assembled, and the transfer mechanism 2 realizes the automatic transportation of the tooling body. The installation mechanism 4 automatically installs the spring and the pressing needle on the tooling body transported to the installation station. The receiving mechanism 5 finally implements the receiving and caching of the assembled pressing needle tooling transported to the receiving station C.
[0109] It can be seen that through the cooperation of the transfer mechanism 2, the feeding mechanism 3, the installation mechanism 4 and the material receiving mechanism 5, the needle pressing tooling assembly equipment in the embodiment of the present application realizes the automatic assembly of the needle pressing tooling, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the needle pressing tooling and saving labor costs.
[0110] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, optionally, the mounting mechanism 4 includes a moving part 43, a spring mounting part 41 and a pressure needle mounting part 42, wherein: the fixed part of the moving part 43 is mounted on the base 1, the spring mounting part 41 and the pressure needle mounting part 42 are connected side by side on the movable part of the moving part 43, and the moving part 43 is used to drive the spring mounting part 41 and the pressure needle mounting part 42 to move. Among them, the spring mounting part 41 is used to install the spring on the tooling body located at the installation station B, and the pressure needle mounting part 42 is used to install the pressure needle on the tooling body located at the installation station B.
[0111] Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, the moving part 43 includes a bracket 431, a horizontal driving module 432, a lifting driving module 433 and a mounting back plate 434, wherein the bracket 431 is mounted on the base 1, the horizontal driving module 432 is arranged on the bracket 431, the lifting driving module 433 is connected to the driving end of the horizontal driving module 432, the mounting back plate 434 is connected to the driving end of the lifting driving module 433, the spring mounting part 41 and the pressing needle mounting part 42 are mounted side by side on the mounting back plate 434 perpendicular to the moving path of the transfer mechanism 2, of course, the spring mounting part 41 and the pressing needle mounting part 42 can also be mounted side by side on the mounting back plate 434 parallel to the moving path of the transfer mechanism 2.
[0112] The horizontal driving module 432 is used to drive the spring mounting part 41 and the pressure needle mounting part 42 to translate synchronously in the horizontal direction, and the lifting driving module 433 is used to drive the spring mounting part 41 and the pressure needle mounting part 42 to rise and fall synchronously in the vertical direction. Under the cooperative drive of the horizontal driving module 432 and the lifting driving module 433, the spring mounting part 41 installs the spring into each pressure needle hole on the tooling body, and the pressure needle mounting part 42 installs the pressure needle into the pressure needle hole where the spring is installed.
[0113] In the actual installation process, it can be selected that after the spring installation part 41 completes the spring installation of all the pressure pin holes on the tooling body, the pressure pin installation part 42 performs the pressure pin installation. It can also be selected that after the spring installation part 41 completes the spring installation of a pressure pin hole, the pressure pin installation part 42 immediately installs the pressure pin into the pressure pin hole until the spring installation part 41 and the pressure pin installation part 42 alternately complete the spring and pressure pin installation of all the pressure pin holes on the tooling body.
[0114] like Figures 2 to 6 As shown, optionally, the spring mounting part 41 includes a first lifting drive unit 411, a first mounting bracket 412, a guide seat 413 and a guide plug 414, wherein: the first lifting drive unit 411 is connected to the movable part of the moving part 43 (for example, the mounting back plate 434), and the first mounting bracket 412 is connected to the movable part of the first lifting drive unit 411. The guide seat 413 is mounted on the first mounting bracket 412, and a first guide hole 415 extending in the vertical direction is provided in the guide seat 413, and the first guide hole 415 is used to transport the spring. The guide plug 414 is mounted at the lower end of the guide seat 413, and a discharge hole 416 connected to the first guide hole 415 is provided in the guide plug 414, and the guide plug 414 installs the spring to the tooling body through the discharge hole 416.
[0115] The optional working process of the spring mounting portion 41 is as follows:
[0116] The moving part 43 first drives the spring mounting part 41 to move, so that the guide plug 414 is close to the tooling body and aligned with one of the pin holes on the tooling body. Then, the first lifting drive unit 411 drives the first mounting bracket 412 to descend, so that the guide plug 414 is close to or inserted downward into the pin hole.
[0117] Next, a spring is fed into the first guide hole 415 from the upper end opening of the first guide hole 415 by a spring supply mechanism or manually, and the spring can fall into the pressing needle hole through the first guide hole 415 and the discharge hole 416 in sequence, thereby achieving the installation of the spring.
[0118] Continue to refer Figures 2 to 6 As shown, optionally, the spring mounting portion 41 also includes a first driving unit 417, a support member 418 and a blocking member 419, wherein: the fixed part of the first driving unit 417 is installed on the first mounting bracket 412, the support member 418 and the blocking member 419 are both connected to the movable part of the first driving unit 417, the blocking member 419 is located above the support member 418, and the first driving unit 417 is used to drive the support member 418 to translate between the supporting position and the first discharge position, and drive the blocking member 419 to translate between the second discharge position and the blocking position.
[0119] In particular, when the support member 418 is translated to the supporting position, the blocking member 419 is translated to the second discharge position. At this time, the support member 418 at least partially penetrates into the first guide hole 415 to support the first spring located in the first guide hole 415, and the blocking member 419 is withdrawn from the first guide hole 415, so that the second spring located above the first spring in the first guide hole 415 falls onto the first spring. When the support member 418 is translated to the first discharge position, the blocking member 419 is translated to the blocking position, and at this time, the support member 418 is withdrawn from the first guide hole 415, so that the first spring falls into the discharge hole 416, and the guide plug 414 installs the first spring to the tooling body through the discharge hole 416. The blocking member 419 at least partially penetrates into the first guide hole 415 to block the second spring.
[0120] The optional working process of the spring mounting portion 41 with the support member 418 and the blocking member 419 is as follows:
[0121] First, driven by the first driving unit 417, the supporting member 418 is translated to the supporting position, and the blocking member 419 is translated to the second discharging position. Subsequently, multiple springs are sequentially fed from the upper end opening of the first guide hole 415 into the first guide hole 415 by a spring feeding mechanism or manually, so that multiple springs are cached in the first guide hole 415 and are sequentially stacked in the first guide hole 415 along the vertical direction.
[0122] Next, the moving part 43 drives the spring mounting part 41 to move, so that the guide plug 414 approaches and aligns with a pin hole on the tooling body. Subsequently, the first lifting drive unit 411 drives the first mounting bracket 412 to descend, so that the guide plug 414 approaches or is inserted downward into the pin hole.
[0123] Next, driven by the first driving unit 417, the support member 418 is translated to the first discharge position, so that the spring (i.e., the first spring) at the bottom of the first guide hole 415 falls into the pressure needle hole through the discharge hole 416. At the same time, the blocking member 419 translated to the blocking position blocks the spring (i.e., the second spring) above the bottom spring in the first guide hole 415 to prevent it from falling with the first spring.
[0124] After completing the installation of the spring for the current pressure pin hole, the first driving unit 417 drives the support member 418 to translate back to the supporting position again, and the blocking member 419 translates back to the second discharge position, preparing to implement the installation of the spring for the next pressure pin hole. It is not until all the springs cached in the first guide hole 415 are exhausted that the spring for the first guide hole 415 needs to be replenished.
[0125] It can be seen that by providing the support member 418 and the blocking member 419, multiple springs can be cached in the first guide hole 415, thereby speeding up the installation of the springs and improving the installation efficiency of the spring installation portion 41. In addition, through the cooperation of the support member 418 and the blocking member 419, the guide plug 414 only installs the spring at the bottom of the first guide hole 415 into the pressure pin hole each time, and the other springs in the first guide hole 415 are blocked in the first guide hole 415 and will not fall with the first spring.
[0126] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, optionally, the first driving unit 417 includes a first cylinder 4171 and a moving seat 4172, wherein: the first cylinder 4171 is arranged on the first mounting bracket 412. The moving seat 4172 is slidably connected to the first mounting bracket 412 and is connected to the driving end of the first cylinder 4171. The moving seat 4172 is provided with a first connecting block 4173 located on the first side of the guide seat 413 and a second connecting block 4174 located on the second side of the guide seat 413, the support member 418 is installed on the first connecting block 4173, and the blocking member 419 is connected to the second connecting block 4174. The first cylinder 4171 is used to drive the moving seat 4172 to slide horizontally between the first position and the second position, wherein: when the first cylinder 4171 drives the moving seat 4172 to slide horizontally to the first position, the supporting member 418 translates to the supporting position, and the blocking member 419 translates to the second discharge position. When the first cylinder 4171 drives the movable seat 4172 to slide horizontally to the second position, the support member 418 translates to the first material discharge position, and the blocking member 419 translates to the blocking position.
[0127] By setting the first driving unit 417, it is achieved that only one cylinder is required to drive the supporting member 418 and the blocking member 419 to translate synchronously, so that when the supporting member 418 translates to the supporting position, the blocking member 419 translates to the second discharging position, and when the supporting member 418 translates to the first discharging position, the blocking member 419 translates to the blocking position, thereby reducing the structural complexity and cost of the first driving unit 417.
[0128] As known to those skilled in the art, in some press needle fixtures, the spring wires of all springs thereon are of the same thickness. In this case, only one spring mounting portion 41 is required. In some other press needle fixtures, the springs located in the middle of the press needle fixture are thick springs with thicker spring wires, while the springs installed at the two ends of the press needle fixture are thin springs with thinner spring wires. In order to be able to implement the separate installation of the two types of springs of different thicknesses, such as Figure 2 As shown, optionally, the spring mounting parts 41 include two groups, one group of spring mounting parts 41 is used to install thicker first-type springs in the middle of the tooling body, and the other group of spring mounting parts 41 is used to install thinner second-type springs at both ends of the tooling body.
[0129] For the situation where multiple spring buffers need to be implemented, a support member 418 and a blocking member 419 are provided on the spring mounting portion 41 .
[0130] Since the thin spring is easily deformed after being radially compressed, the spring mounting portion 41 for mounting the thinner second type spring may be optionally, as Figure 5 As shown, the blocking member 419 used is a cutting pin, which is used to be inserted into the gap between the first spring and the second spring to block the second spring.
[0131] The thick spring is not easy to deform after being radially compressed. Therefore, for the spring mounting portion 41 for mounting the thicker first type spring, it is optional, such as Figure 6 As shown, the blocking member 419 used is a spring ejector pin, which is used to press against the side of the second spring to block the second spring.
[0132] Optionally, when the pitch of the spring is less than twice the diameter of the spring steel wire, the blocking member 419 is a spring ejector pin; when the pitch of the spring is greater than twice the diameter of the spring steel wire, the blocking member 419 is a cutting pin.
[0133] like Figure 3 As shown, optionally, the guide seat 413 is provided with a blowing slit 4131 extending in the vertical direction and opening the first guide hole 415. Correspondingly, the spring mounting portion 41 also includes a blowing member 4110, which is used to blow air obliquely downward toward the first guide hole 415 through the blowing slit 4131 to push the spring in the first guide hole 415 to be transported downward, ensuring that the spring can smoothly fall into the discharge hole 416 and finally fall through the discharge hole 416, preventing the spring from getting stuck during transportation. The blowing member 4110 is, for example, a blowing pipe with a blowing port obliquely downward and toward the blowing slit 4131.
[0134] like Figure 2 and Figure 7As shown, optionally, the pressure needle mounting part 42 includes a second lifting drive unit 421, a second mounting bracket 422, a guide sleeve 423, a second drive unit 424 and a clamping assembly 425, wherein: the second lifting drive unit 421 is connected to the movable part (such as the mounting back plate 434) of the moving part 43, and the second mounting bracket 422 is connected to the movable part of the second lifting drive unit 421. The guide sleeve 423 is mounted on the second mounting bracket 422, and a second guide hole extending in the vertical direction is provided in the guide sleeve 423, and the second guide hole is used to transport the pressure needle. The fixed part of the second drive unit 424 is mounted on the second mounting bracket 422. The clamping assembly 425 is located below the guide sleeve 423, and the clamping assembly 425 includes a first chuck 4251 and a second chuck 4252 arranged in pairs, and a clamping channel connected to the second guide hole is formed between the first chuck 4251 and the second chuck 4252. The second drive unit 424 is used to drive the first chuck 4251 and the second chuck 4252 to clamp or open. When the second driving unit 424 drives the first clamp 4251 and the second clamp 4252 to clamp, the first clamp 4251 and the second clamp 4252 clamp the pressure pin that falls into the clamping channel from the second guide hole. When the second driving unit 424 drives the first clamp 4251 and the second clamp 4252 to open, the first clamp 4251 and the second clamp 4252 release the pressure pin to install the pressure pin on the tooling body through the clamping channel.
[0135] The second driving unit 424 is, for example, a finger cylinder.
[0136] The optional working process of the needle pressing part 42 is as follows:
[0137] First, a pressing needle is fed into the second guide hole from the upper end thereof by a pressing needle supply mechanism or manually, and the first clamp 4251 and the second clamp 4252 are driven to clamp together by the second driving unit 424 to clamp the pressing needle dropped into the clamping channel.
[0138] Next, the moving part drives the pressing needle installation part 42 to move, so that the clamping assembly 425 is close to the tool body and is aligned with one of the pressing needle holes on the tool body.
[0139] Subsequently, the second lifting drive unit 421 drives the second mounting bracket 422 to descend, so that the clamping assembly 425 is close to or inserted downward into the pressing pin hole.
[0140] Finally, the second driving unit 424 drives the first clamp 4251 and the second clamp 4252 to open, and the pressing pin can fall into the pressing pin hole.
[0141] like Figure 2 and 8 to Fig.11As shown, in another optional embodiment, the pressure needle mounting part 42 includes a second lifting drive unit 421, a second mounting bracket 422, a guide sleeve 423, a second driving unit 424, a first clamping assembly 426 and a second clamping assembly 427, wherein: the second lifting drive unit 421 is connected to the movable part (such as the mounting back plate 434) of the moving part 43, and the second mounting bracket 422 is connected to the movable part of the second lifting drive unit 421. The guide sleeve 423 is mounted on the second mounting bracket 422, and a second guide hole 4231 extending in the vertical direction is provided in the guide sleeve 423, and the second guide hole 4231 is used to transport the pressure needle. The fixed part of the second driving unit 424 is mounted on the second mounting bracket 422, and the first clamping assembly 426 is located below the guide sleeve 423, and the first clamping assembly 426 includes a third clamp 4261 and a fourth clamp 4262 arranged in pairs, and a first clamping channel connected to the second guide hole 4231 is formed between the third clamp 4261 and the fourth clamp 4262. The second clamping assembly 427 is located below the first clamping assembly 426. The second clamping assembly 427 includes a fifth clamping head 4271 and a sixth clamping head 4272 arranged in pairs. A second clamping channel communicating with the first clamping channel is formed between the fifth clamping head 4271 and the sixth clamping head 4272. The second driving unit 424 is used to drive the third clamping head 4261 and the fourth clamping head 4262 to clamp or open, and to drive the fifth clamping head 4271 and the sixth clamping head 4272 to clamp or open.
[0142] In particular, when the fifth clamp 4271 and the sixth clamp 4272 are clamped together, the third clamp 4261 and the fourth clamp 4262 are opened. At this time, the fifth clamp 4271 and the sixth clamp 4272 clamp the first pressing needle 101 that falls from the first clamping channel into the second clamping channel, and the second pressing needle 102 located above the first pressing needle 101 in the second guide hole 4231 falls into the first clamping channel. When the fifth clamp 4271 and the sixth clamp 4272 are opened, the third clamp 4261 and the fourth clamp 4262 are clamped together. At this time, the fifth clamp 4271 and the sixth clamp 4272 release the first pressing needle 101 to install the first pressing needle 101 to the tooling body through the second clamping channel, and the third clamp 4261 and the fourth clamp 4262 clamp the second pressing needle 102.
[0143] The optional working process of the pressure needle mounting part 42 with the first clamping assembly 426 and the second clamping assembly 427 is as follows:
[0144] First, the second driving unit 424 drives the fifth clamp 4271 and the sixth clamp 4272 to clamp, and the third clamp 4261 and the fourth clamp 4262 to open. Multiple pressing pins are sequentially fed from the upper end opening of the second guide hole 4231 into the second guide hole 4231 through the pressing pin feeding mechanism or manually, so that multiple pressing pins are cached in the second guide hole 4231, and multiple pressing pins are stacked in sequence along the vertical direction, and the pressing pin at the bottom (i.e., the first pressing pin 101) falls into the second clamping channel and is clamped by the fifth clamp 4271 and the sixth clamp 4272, and the second pressing pin 102 located above the first pressing pin 101 falls into the first clamping channel between the third clamp 4261 and the fourth clamp 4262.
[0145] Next, the moving part 43 drives the pressing needle installation part 42 to move, so that the second clamping assembly 427 approaches and aligns with a pressing needle hole on the tooling body. Then, the second lifting driving unit 421 drives the second mounting bracket 422 to descend, so that the second clamping assembly 427 approaches or is inserted downward into the pressing needle hole.
[0146] Next, the second driving unit 424 drives the fifth clamp 4271 and the sixth clamp 4272 to open, so that the first pressing needle 101 clamped by the fifth clamp 4271 and the sixth clamp 4272 falls into the pressing needle hole. At the same time, the third clamp 4261 and the fourth clamp 4262 clamp together to implement blocking and limiting of the second pressing needle 102 to prevent the second pressing needle 102 from falling with the first pressing needle.
[0147] After completing the installation of the pressure needle of the current pressure needle hole, the second driving unit 427 drives the fifth chuck 4271 and the sixth chuck 4272 to clamp again, and the third chuck 4261 and the fourth chuck 4262 to open, preparing to implement the spring installation for the next pressure needle hole, until all the pressure needles cached in the second guide hole 4231 are exhausted, it is necessary to implement the pressure needle replenishment of the second guide hole 4231.
[0148] It can be seen that through the cooperation of the first clamping assembly 426 and the second clamping assembly 427, multiple press pins can be cached in the second guide hole 4231, thereby speeding up the installation rhythm of the press pins and improving the installation efficiency of the press pin installation part 42. In addition, when the second clamping assembly 427 installs the press pin currently located at the bottom to the press pin hole, the first clamping assembly 426 implements blocking and limiting of other press pins, thereby preventing other press pins from falling with the currently installed press pin.
[0149] like Fig. 9 and Figure 12 to Figure 13As shown, optionally, the second driving unit 424 includes a finger cylinder 4241 and a bottom plate 4242, wherein: the cylinder body of the finger cylinder 4241 is mounted on the second mounting bracket 422, the fifth clamp 4271 and the sixth clamp 4272 are connected to the driving end of the finger cylinder 4241, and the finger cylinder 4241 is used to drive the fifth clamp 4271 and the sixth clamp 4272 to clamp or open. A first waist hole 4273 is provided on the end of the fifth clamp 4271 away from the clamping end, and a second waist hole 4274 is provided on the end of the sixth clamp 4272 away from the clamping end. The base plate 4242 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cylinder body of the finger cylinder 4241, and the middle parts of the third chuck 4261 and the fourth chuck 4262 are rotatably connected to the base plate 4242 via the first connecting shaft 428. A second connecting shaft 429 is provided on the end of the third chuck 4261 away from the clamping end, and the second connecting shaft 429 is inserted into the first waist hole 4273. A third connecting shaft 4210 is provided on the end of the fourth chuck 4262 away from the clamping end, and the third connecting shaft 4210 is inserted into the second waist hole 4274.
[0150] With such arrangement, when the finger cylinder 4241 drives the fifth clamp 4271 and the sixth clamp 4272 to clamp, the fifth clamp 4271 and the sixth clamp 4272 press the second connecting shaft 429 and the third connecting shaft 4210 toward the middle, thereby opening the third clamp 4261 and the fourth clamp 4262. When the finger cylinder 4241 drives the fifth clamp 4271 and the sixth clamp 4272 to open, the fifth clamp 4271 and the sixth clamp 4272 drive the second connecting shaft 429 and the third connecting shaft 4210 to separate to both sides, thereby opening the third clamp 4261 and the fourth clamp 4262.
[0151] It can be seen that the second clamping assembly 427 and the first clamping assembly 426 are driven in reverse linkage by the finger cylinder 4241. That is, the second driving unit 424 in the embodiment of the present application only needs to be provided with one finger cylinder to realize synchronous reverse driving of the second clamping assembly 427 and the first clamping assembly 426, that is, when one of the two is opened, the other is clamped, thereby reducing the driving cost.
[0152] like Figure 1 and Fig.14 As shown, optionally, the transfer mechanism 2 includes a translation mechanism 21 and a carrier 22, wherein the translation mechanism 21 is arranged on the base 1, the carrier 22 is arranged on the movable part of the translation mechanism 21, the carrier 22 is used to carry the tooling body, and the translation mechanism 21 is used to drive the carrier 22 to translate, so that the carrier 22 sequentially passes through the feeding station A, the installation station B and the receiving station C. The translation mechanism 21 can adopt various existing linear drive modules that can drive the carrier 22 to translate.
[0153] like Figures 15 to 17As shown, optionally, a first regularizing piece 23 is provided on the first side of the carrying platform 22, and a second regularizing piece 24 is provided on the second side of the carrying platform 22 adjacent to the first side. The first regularizing piece 23 and the second regularizing piece 24 are used to match and regularize the tooling body 200 located on the carrying platform 22 to implement position correction of the tooling body 200 located on the carrying platform 22.
[0154] Optionally, the first regularizing piece 23 and the second regularizing piece 24 have the same structure. Taking the first regularizing piece 23 as an example, Fig.16 As shown, it includes a tidying cylinder 231, a tidying plate 232 and a roller 233, wherein the tidying plate 232 is connected to the driving end of the tidying cylinder 231, and the roller 233 is installed on the tidying plate 232. The tidying cylinder 231 is used to drive the tidying plate 232 to move toward the tooling body 200 located on the carrier 22, so as to drive the roller 233 to tidy a side edge of the tooling body 200. In actual tidying, the first tidying piece 23 and the second tidying piece 24 can move synchronously toward the tooling body 200 to synchronously complete the tidying of the two side edges of the tooling body 200. Alternatively, one of the first regularizing piece 23 and the second regularizing piece 24 is first moved toward the tooling body 200 to complete the regularization of one side of the tooling body 200, and then the other of the first regularizing piece 23 and the second regularizing piece 24 is moved toward the tooling body 200 to implement the regularization of another adjacent side of the tooling body 200.
[0155] like Figure 15 to Figure 16 As shown, optionally, the transfer mechanism 2 further includes a lifting mechanism 25, which is arranged on the movable part of the translation mechanism 21 and is in transmission connection with the carrier 22, and is used to drive the carrier 22 to rise and fall. By setting the lifting mechanism 25, the lifting and falling adjustment of the carrier 22 is realized, so that the carrier 22 can smoothly obtain the tool body from the feeding mechanism 3, and send the assembled needle pressing tool to the receiving mechanism 5.
[0156] like Figure 1 As shown, optionally, a detection station D located between the installation station B and the material receiving station C is also provided on the moving path of the transfer mechanism 2. Correspondingly, the press pin tooling assembly equipment in the embodiment of the present application also includes a detection mechanism 6, which is arranged on the base 1 and located at the detection station D. The detection mechanism 6 is used to perform spring missing detection on the press pins installed on the tooling body, that is, to determine whether there are missing springs in all the press pin holes after the press pins are installed.
[0157] like Figures 16 to 18As shown, optionally, the first support 26 and the second support 27 are respectively provided at the opposite ends of the carrier 22, and the two ends of the tooling body 200 are respectively supported on the first support 26 and the second support 27, and a detection space 28 with a predetermined height difference is formed between the first support 26 and the second support 27. A first gap that penetrates the detection space 28 is provided on the first support 26, and a second gap that penetrates the detection space 28 is provided on the second support 27. When the periphery of the pressing needle lacks a spring, the pressing needle enters the detection space 28 under the action of its own gravity, otherwise, the pressing needle is maintained above the detection space 28 under the support of the periphery spring.
[0158] The detection mechanism 6 includes a laser emitter 61 and a laser receiver 62 arranged in pairs, wherein the laser emitter 61 is located on the side of the first support 26, and the laser receiver 62 is located on the side of the second support 27. When there is no pressure needle that falls due to the missing spring in the detection space 28 between the laser emitter 61 and the laser receiver 62, the laser emitted by the laser emitter 26 can pass through the first gap, the detection space 28 and the second gap in sequence and then enter the laser receiver 62. Otherwise, the laser emitted by the laser emitter 61 is blocked by the pressure needle that falls due to the missing spring and cannot be received by the laser receiver 62.
[0159] When the assembled pressing pin tooling passes through the detection station D under the drive of the carrier 22, the laser emitter 61 and the laser receiver 62 perform spring missing detection on each row of pressing pins on the pressing pin tooling row by row. If there is a pressing pin with missing spring in a row of pressing pins currently located between the laser emitter 61 and the laser receiver 62, the laser emitted by the laser emitter 61 is blocked by the pressing pin with missing spring, thereby triggering the laser receiver 62 to generate a detection signal.
