[0029] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the button cover 8 includes an upper cover 81 and a lower cover 82 that are mutually engaged, the lower cover 82 includes a body 821 and a protrusion 822 and a first baffle 823 provided on the body 821, a first card slot 824 is provided on both sides of the protrusion 822, and a second card slot 825 is provided between the first baffle 823 and the protrusion 822, the upper cover 81 includes a body 811 and side wings 812 provided on both sides of the body 811, a first card block 813 is provided on the side wing 812 to be engaged with the first card slot 824, and a second card block 814 is provided on the body 811 to be engaged with the second card slot 825, so as to achieve a stable connection between the upper cover 81 and the lower cover 82. Since the button cover 8 is a non-standard product, the existing installation method is mainly manual assembly, which has the disadvantages of low efficiency and high cost. The button cover 8 is generally made of plastic material and has a certain elasticity.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the new cover assembly equipment in one embodiment of the utility model includes a material conveying device 1, and a lower cover loading device 2, a lower cover loading device 2 and a unloading device 4 arranged in sequence along the transport direction of the material conveying device 1; the lower cover loading device 2 includes a lower cover conveying mechanism 21 for conveying the lower cover 82, and a lower cover loading mechanism 22 for transferring the lower cover 82 from the lower cover conveying mechanism 21 to the material conveying device 1; the lower cover loading device 2 includes an upper cover 81 conveying mechanism 31 for conveying the upper cover 81, and an upper cover loading mechanism 32 for transferring the upper cover 81 from the upper cover 81 conveying mechanism 31 to the lower cover 82 installed on the material conveying device 1; the unloading device 4 is used to transfer the assembled material on the material conveying device 1.

[0032] It should be noted that the above-mentioned materials refer to parts or devices placed on the material transmission device 1. For example, in different installation processes, the above-mentioned materials may refer to the lower cover 82 or the button cover 8. A three-dimensional rectangular coordinate system is established, and the transport direction of the material transmission device 1 is the x direction.

[0033] The new cover assembly equipment realizes the automatic assembly of the new cover 8 through the mutual cooperation between the material transmission device 1, the lower cover loading device 2, the lower cover loading device 2 and the unloading device 4, replacing the manual installation method in the prior art, thereby having the advantages of improving the assembly efficiency of the new cover 8 and reducing the assembly cost of the new cover 8.

[0034] The new cover assembly equipment also includes a workbench 5 , and the material transmission device 1 , the lower cover loading device 2 , the lower cover loading device 2 and the unloading device 4 can all be installed on the workbench 5 or connected to the workbench 5 .

[0035] Specifically, the lower cover feeding mechanism 22 includes a first horizontal driving member 221 and a first vertical driving member 222 installed on the first horizontal driving member 221, and a lower cover clamp 223 is installed on the first vertical driving member 222. Among them, the lower cover conveying mechanism 21 can be an oscillating plate; the first horizontal driving member 221 can be an electric cylinder or a cylinder, and its output end is connected to the first vertical driving member 222, so as to drive the first vertical driving member 222 to do reciprocating linear motion in the y direction; the first vertical driving member 222 can be an electric cylinder or a cylinder, and its output end is connected to the lower cover clamp 223, so as to drive the lower cover clamp 223 to do reciprocating linear motion in the z direction; the lower cover clamp 223 can be an electric clamp or a clamp cylinder. Through the mutual cooperation of the first horizontal driving member 221, the first vertical driving member 222 and the lower cover clamp 223, the lower cover 82 conveyed by the lower cover conveying mechanism 21 is clamped and transported to the material transmission device 1.

[0036] Furthermore, the lower cover clamping jaw 223 includes two side jaws 2231 and an auxiliary jaw 2232, wherein the two side jaws 2231 are used to clamp the two sides of the protrusion 822 of the lower cover 82, and the auxiliary jaw 2232 is used to abut against the baffle of the lower cover 82. That is, the two side jaws 2231 can clamp the two sides of the protrusion 822 to clamp the lower cover 82, and the auxiliary jaw 2232 abuts against the baffle to prevent the entire lower cover 82 from rotating during the clamping process, and can also ensure that the lower cover 82 is placed on the material transmission device 1 at a correct angle.

[0037] like Figure 4 and 6 As shown, the upper cover feeding mechanism 32 includes a second horizontal driving member 321, a second vertical driving member 322 installed on the second horizontal driving member 321, and a third horizontal driving member 323 installed on the second vertical driving member 322. The third horizontal driving member 323 is equipped with an upper cover clamp 324. The third horizontal driving member 323 is used to drive the upper cover clamp 324 to move along the transportation direction of the material so that the second block 814 of the upper cover 81 is plugged into the second slot 825 of the lower cover 82.

[0038] It can be understood that the conveying mechanism 31 of the upper cover 81 can be an oscillating disk; the second horizontal driving member 321 can be an electric cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder, and its output end is connected to the second vertical driving member 322, thereby driving the second vertical driving member 322 to perform reciprocating linear motion in the y direction; the second vertical driving member 322 can be an electric cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder, and its output end is connected to the upper cover clamp 324, thereby driving the third horizontal driving member 323 to perform reciprocating linear motion in the z direction; the second horizontal driving member 321 can be an electric cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder, and its output end is connected to the upper cover clamp 324, thereby driving the upper cover clamp 324 to perform reciprocating linear motion in the x direction; the upper cover clamp 324 can be an electric clamp or a clamp cylinder, and the upper cover clamp 324 can clamp the upper cover 81 in the z direction, so as to avoid the subsequent third vertical driving member 325 and the pressure claw 326. Through the mutual cooperation of the second horizontal driving member 321, the second vertical driving member 322 and the upper cover clamp 324, the lower cover 82 transported by the lower cover conveying mechanism 21 is clamped and transported to the material transmission device 1, that is, the second horizontal driving member 321 and the second vertical driving member 322 play the role of aligning the second block 814 of the upper cover 81 with the second slot 825 of the lower cover 82 in the y direction and the z direction, and then the second block 814 of the upper cover 81 is driven to be plugged into the second slot 825 of the lower cover 82 through the third horizontal driving member 323 (not fully matched).

[0039] Under the cooperation of the second horizontal driving member 321, the second vertical driving member 322, the third horizontal driving member 323 and the upper cover clamping jaw 324, the two side wings 812 of the upper cover 81 will be deformed to a certain extent and clamped on both sides of the protrusion 822. At this time, the first clamping block 813 is not plugged into the first clamping groove 824 or the first clamping block 813 and the first clamping groove 824 are partially plugged; therefore, the clamping of the second clamping block 814 and the second clamping groove 825 is only preliminary, that is, the second clamping block 814 is not completely matched with the second clamping groove 825. That is, the second horizontal driving member 321, the second vertical driving member 322, the third horizontal driving member 323 and the upper cover clamping jaw 324 only play the role of pre-assembly or preliminary assembly of the upper cover 81 and the lower cover 82.

[0040] Furthermore, the upper cover feeding mechanism 32 also includes a third vertical driving member 325, and two pressure claws 326 installed at intervals on the third vertical driving member 325. The third vertical driving member 325 is used to drive the two pressure claws 326 to respectively abut against the two side wings 812, and to make the first clamping block 813 on the two side wings 812 engage with the first clamping groove 824 of the lower cover 82.

[0041] Among them, the third vertical driving member 325 can be an electric cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder, and its output end is connected to the pressing claw 326, thereby driving the pressing claw 326 to perform reciprocating linear motion in the z direction, that is, the pressing claw 326 is respectively abutted against the two side wings 812 of the upper cover 81 along the z direction, so that the first clamping block 813 on the two side wings 812 is pressed into the first clamping groove 824 of the lower cover 82, and the first clamping block 813 and the first clamping groove 824 are clamped; due to the complete clamping of the first clamping block 813 and the first clamping groove 824, the second clamping block 814 and the second clamping groove 825 are completely clamped, and the assembly process of the upper cover 81 and the lower cover 82 is realized.

[0042] As shown in the figure, the material transmission device 1 includes a stage 11 for carrying the lower cover 82, and a material transmission mechanism 12 for driving the stage 11 to move. The stage 11 is used to carry materials; the material transmission mechanism 12 can be an electric cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder or a linear motor, etc. The movable parts on the material transmission mechanism 12 are connected to the stage 11, so as to drive the stage 11 to reciprocate along the x direction.

[0043] Furthermore, a limiting portion 111 is provided on the stage 11 . The limiting portion 111 can be considered as a groove body opened on the stage 11 , which matches with the lower cover 82 . The lower cover 82 is placed on the limiting portion 111 .

[0044] like Figure 4 and 7 As shown, the unloading device 4 includes a fourth horizontal driving member 41 and a fourth vertical driving member 42 installed on the fourth horizontal driving member 41 , and a unloading clamp 43 is installed on the fourth vertical driving member 42 .

[0045] Among them, the fourth horizontal driving member 41 can be an electric cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder, and its output end is connected to the fourth vertical driving member 42, thereby driving the fourth vertical driving member 42 to do reciprocating linear motion in the y direction; the fourth vertical driving member 42 can be an electric cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder, and its output end is connected to the material discharge clamp 43, thereby driving the material discharge clamp 43 to do reciprocating linear motion in the z direction; the material discharge clamp 43 can be an electric clamp or a clamp cylinder. Through the mutual cooperation of the fourth horizontal driving member 41, the fourth vertical driving member 42 and the material discharge clamp 43, the material (button cover 8) assembled on the material transmission device 1 is transferred.

[0046] Specifically, a material discharge chute 51 may be further provided on the workbench 5 , and the material discharge device 4 may transfer the assembled materials (button covers 8 ) from the material transmission device 1 to the material discharge chute 51 .

[0047] Furthermore, an optical sensor 6 is provided on the fourth vertical driving member 42, and the optical sensor 6 is used to detect the upper cover 81 in the material clamped by the material unloading clamp 43. The optical sensor 6 can be an existing optical sensor 6 on the market, such as a camera, which can take a picture of the material to detect whether the upper cover 81 is installed on the lower cover 82, and can also be used to distinguish upper covers 81 of different colors.

[0048] Furthermore, a displacement sensor 7 is provided on the fourth vertical driving member 42, and a detection end of the displacement sensor 7 is used to abut against the side wing 812 of the upper cover 81 in the material clamped by the material-discharging clamp 43. The displacement sensor 7 can be an existing displacement sensor 7 on the market, and its detection end abuts against the side wing 812 of the upper cover 81, and according to the distance value detected by the detection end (such as the elongation value or displacement value of the detection end, etc.), it is judged whether the upper cover 81 is correctly assembled with the lower cover 82, whether the upper cover 81 is warped, etc.

[0049] It is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the present invention.
