[0032] A POGO-PIN automatic assembly machine according to an embodiment of the utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] Example

[0034] For easier understanding, see Figures 1 to 4 , an embodiment of a POGO-PIN automatic assembly machine provided by the utility model comprises:

[0035] A machine frame 15, on which a material-discharging track and a material-discharging track that are interconnected are provided;

[0036] At least one vibration plate for automatically supplying rubber core, PIN needle and cover;

[0037] Feeding track, used to receive the components provided by the vibrating plate and guide them to the material error mechanism;

[0038] The material error mechanism includes a material error block driven by a servo motor, wherein the material error block has a material receiving slot and is used to move between different positions to receive and distribute components to the material selection track;

[0039] The material-shifting mechanism is used to drive the components in the material-shifting mechanism to move along the material-shifting track to the material-discharging track;

[0040] The push mechanism is used to push the component along the discharge track to the cavity position of the preset product.

[0041] The material shifting mechanism includes dedicated servo motors for the rubber core, cover, and PIN pins, as well as switchable and movable material shifting blocks, which are used to flexibly allocate components in the production process. The material shifting mechanism is integrated with a pin insertion mechanism 2, which is responsible for accurately controlling the feeding, positioning, and pre-insertion of the PIN pins. The pin insertion mechanism 2 includes a PIN pin feeding servo motor 21, a pin displacement servo motor 24, a pin cylinder 25, and a guiding device, which are used to accurately control the feeding, misalignment, detection, and pre-insertion of the PIN pins into the rubber core.

[0042] It should be noted that the machine frame 15 serves as an overall framework, supporting the structure of the entire system. It is internally designed with interconnected material feeding tracks and material discharging tracks, as well as specific tracks for placing preset products. The layout of these tracks ensures the smooth flow of components, and the plastic cores, PIN needles, and caps conveyed from the vibration plate can be accurately guided to each processing link;

[0043] A plurality of vibration plates are installed on the machine frame 15, such as the rubber core vibration plate frame 1, the PIN needle vibration plate frame 3, and the cover vibration plate frame 5, each of which is responsible for automatically supplying corresponding components. The feeding track under the vibration plate is precisely aligned with the discharge port of the vibration plate. Through the vibration of the vibration plate, the rubber core, PIN needle, and cover are vibrated out one by one and transported to the material error mechanism through the feeding track.

[0044] The machine frame 15 is provided with a material selection track and a material discharging track which are interconnected. In addition, the machine frame 15 has a pin cylinder 25 above the PIN needle cavity and the vibration 23 of the material discharging track to vacuum absorb the POGOPIN needle at the pin cavity 22 through the pin penetration guide groove 26, and drives the pin displacement servo motor 24 to move the pin penetration guide groove 26 to the PIN needle pin 210. The pin positioning cylinder 212 on the pin positioning guide groove 211 first fixes the preset product at the PIN needle pin 210, and then pre-inserts the POGOPIN needle.

[0045] A cap loading and conveying mechanism 9 is provided on the machine frame 15, which can automatically provide caps when the cap feeding track 8 and the horizontal vibration are in progress. The conveying mechanism servo motor 93 drives the suction fixture 98 to suck the caps, and then moves to the finished product feeding servo motor 92 to drive the caps in the POGOPIN finished product track 91 to the preset position to snap the caps together. The conveying mechanism servo motor 93 drives the suction fixture 98 to suck the products to the second CCD detection camera 11 for position detection. According to the detection results, OK products are conveyed to packaging, and NG products are sorted as defective and collected and stored for subsequent analysis of the causes of the defects and improvements.

[0046] The rubber core vibration plate rack 1, the PIN needle vibration plate rack 3, and the cover vibration plate rack 5 are started respectively, and the rubber core, PIN needle, and cover are automatically provided to their respective feeding tracks. These components fall into the track one by one through the vibration of the vibration plate, ready to enter the subsequent assembly process. After receiving the components from the vibration plate, the feeding track guides them to the material error mechanism. The material error mechanism has a built-in servo motor-controlled material error block, which switches between two positions, first receiving the component, and then transferring the component to the material selection track through precise alignment of the receiving trough.

[0047] The material error mechanism is equipped with a feed servo motor for the rubber core, cover, and PIN, and a movable material error block with a receiving slot. The material error block switches between the first and second positions under the drive of the servo motor to ensure that the components can be accurately transferred from the feed track to the material removal track. The material removal mechanism then accurately pushes the components in the material error mechanism along the material removal track to one end of the discharge track;

[0048] The pin insertion mechanism 2 in the material dispensing mechanism realizes the process of feeding, misalignment adjustment, and pre-insertion of the PIN pin into the rubber core after detection and confirmation through fine control, such as the drive of the pin displacement servo motor 24 and the precise action of the pin cylinder 25, thereby ensuring the accurate positioning and safe assembly of the PIN pin.

[0049] The pin insertion mechanism 2 is controlled by a precise servo motor to achieve accurate feeding and misalignment adjustment of the PIN pin. After the PIN pin is confirmed to be correct through suction detection, the pin positioning cylinder 212 and the pin cylinder 25 work together to accurately pre-insert it into the rubber core to ensure the reliability of electrical contact.

[0050] Among them, the machine frame 15 is also equipped with a machine operation screen 4, an electric measurement pressing mechanism 6, a CCD display screen 7, a PIN needle vacuum detection meter 29 and a handling vacuum detection meter 95.

[0051] In some embodiments, the frame is further provided with a cap loading and conveying mechanism 9, which includes a conveying structure driven by a servo motor, and is used for automatically sucking, inspecting, conveying and loading the caps onto preset products, and cooperating with CCD inspection to ensure quality.

[0052] It should be noted that the cap loading and conveying mechanism 9 automatically sucks the caps and inspects them through the suction fixture 98 controlled by the conveying mechanism servo motor 93, and then accurately loads the qualified caps onto the preset products with PIN pins. The whole process is carried out under the monitoring of the CCD detection camera 94 to ensure the quality of the cap loading, and unqualified products are automatically excluded.

[0053] The cap loading and transporting mechanism 9 is responsible for the automatic suction, transport and assembly of the caps. After the suction fixture 98 sucks the caps, the caps are moved to the preset position and snapped onto the product under the control of the transporting mechanism servo motor 93. The assembled products will be inspected by the CCD inspection camera 94 for quality. Qualified products will continue to the next process, while unqualified products will be discharged through the second row defective mechanism 97.

[0054] In some embodiments, a good product packaging mechanism 10 is also provided on the frame, and the good product packaging mechanism 10 is used to automatically receive qualified products and automatically package them through carrier tape, including carrier tape supply, material shortage detection, floating material processing and automatic reel bonding functions.

[0055] It should be noted that the qualified products will be sent to the good product packaging mechanism 10 by the capping and conveying mechanism 9. Through the automated process driven by the packaging servo motor 102, the products will be placed on the carrier tape, and the carrier tape will be automatically supplied, and the lack of material and floating material will be detected to ensure the filling quality of the carrier tape. The tape will then be automatically glued and reeled to complete the finished product packaging.

[0056] The qualified product packaging mechanism 10 automatically receives the qualified products and places them on the carrier tape. The carrier tape is inspected for missing and floating materials during the automatic winding process to ensure the integrity of the packaging materials. Finally, the self-adhesive packaging tape material 103 is accurately bonded to the carrier tape receiving material 104, completing the packaging process of the finished product.

[0057] A good product packaging mechanism 10 is set on the machine frame 15, so that the OK products are transported to the packaging according to the detection results, and the suction fixture 98 sucks the products into the carrier tape, and then the packaging servo motor 102 drives the carrier tape to automatically package. During the automatic packaging, the carrier tape floating material optical fiber detection 101 and the optical fiber amplifier of the carrier tape leakage floating material optical fiber 105 detect the lack of material and floating material on the carrier tape, and then the packaging upper tape material 103 self-adhesive upper tape is automatically and accurately bonded to the carrier tape receiving material 104 and reeled together.

[0058] In some embodiments, a soundproof cover is further provided on the machine frame 15, and the soundproof cover is provided around the vibration plate to reduce the noise generated by vibration.

[0059] It should be noted that noise control and environmental optimization: in order to improve the working environment, the outer sides of the vibration plates on the rubber core vibration plate frame 1, the PIN needle vibration plate frame 3, and the cover vibration plate frame 5 are equipped with sound insulation covers, which effectively isolate the noise generated during the operation of the vibration plates and create a more comfortable working environment for the operators.

[0060] In some embodiments, the rack is also provided with multiple groups of CCD inspection cameras, which are distributed at key nodes of the assembly process to perform comprehensive quality monitoring on components, semi-finished products and finished products. The machine rack 15 is also provided with a first row of defective mechanisms 13 and a second row of defective mechanisms 97, which are used to automatically identify and remove unqualified products to ensure the continuity of the production process and product quality.

[0061] It should be noted that, during the entire assembly process, multiple groups of CCD inspection cameras, such as the first CCD inspection camera 14, the CCD inspection camera 94, the second CCD inspection camera 11, etc., are distributed at different workstations to conduct comprehensive quality monitoring of components, semi-finished products and finished products. Defective products are automatically sorted by the defective sorting mechanism, ensuring the continuity of the production chain and product quality.

[0062] After the finished product is capped, it will pass the comprehensive quality review of the POGOPIN finished product track 91 and the second CCD inspection camera 11. The qualified products will be sent to the packaging stage, while the unqualified products will be collected by the defective sorting mechanism for subsequent analysis and improvement.

[0063] In some embodiments, a rotary feeding mechanism 12 is further provided on the machine frame 15. The rotary feeding mechanism 12 is used in conjunction with a vibration plate to adjust the supply direction of components according to production requirements.

[0064] Working principle:

[0065] After the equipment is started, the rubber core vibration plate rack 1, the PIN needle vibration plate rack 3, and the cover vibration plate rack 5 start to work, and each automatically provides the rubber core, the PIN needle, and the cover, and vibrates the components one by one and drops them into the feeding track below.

[0066] After the feeding track receives the components, it transports them to the material error mechanism through a precise guiding mechanism. The core of the material error mechanism is a material error block equipped with a plastic core, a cover, and a PIN needle feeding servo motor 21. The material error block switches between two positions under the drive of the servo motor according to the production process needs to ensure that the receiving trough receives and distributes the components to the material diverting track in time.

[0067] The pin insertion mechanism 2 integrated in the material dispensing mechanism starts to operate, responsible for accurately controlling the feeding and misalignment adjustment of the PIN pin, and moving the PIN pin to the pre-insertion position after the PIN pin has been detected. During this process, the pin positioning cylinder 212 and the pin cylinder 25 work together to ensure that the PIN pin is accurately pre-inserted into the rubber core.

[0068] The cap loading and handling mechanism 9 is started, automatically sucks the cap and passes the CCD inspection to ensure the quality, and then the qualified cap is installed on the preset product with the PIN needle. After the cap loading is completed, the product is finally inspected by the CCD inspection camera to ensure the assembly quality.

[0069] Process defective products and classify finished products: Products with OK test results are sent to the packaging stage through the transport mechanism, while products with NG test results are automatically collected by the defective sorting mechanism for subsequent analysis and processing.

[0070] The finished products that have passed the inspection are sent to the good product packaging mechanism 10 by the cover loading and conveying mechanism 9. Through a series of automated operations, including the automatic supply of the carrier tape, the automatic detection of insufficient material and floating material, after ensuring that the carrier tape is filled correctly, the self-adhesive top tape is accurately bonded, and then the reel packaging is completed, ready for the next step of storage or transportation.

[0071] As described above, the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, rather than to limit them. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein.
