[0017] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easy to understand, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0018] See also Figure 1 The utility model provides the following technical solutions: an aerogel product assembly machine, including an assembly machine body, the assembly machine body including a lower frame 13, a four-station indexing plate 2, a six-station turntable 18, a PET attaching module 4, a product unloading module 5, a silicone frame loading and lifting module 11, a cleaning module 3, a four-axis robot loading mechanism 12, an aerogel loading and lifting module 14 and a silicone frame transfer platform 16, the lower frame 13 is provided with two groups, and the top of each group of lower frames 13 is respectively installed with a PET attaching module 4, a four-station indexing plate 2, or a six-station turntable 18, and a turntable docking module 17, the side of the assembly machine body is installed with a silicone frame loading and lifting module 11 and an aerogel loading and lifting module 14, the side of the aerogel loading and lifting module 14 is provided with an aerogel loading module 10, and the middle part of the side of the lower frame 13 is connected with a product unloading module 5.

[0019] When in use, the silicone frame raw materials are first stacked through the silicone frame loading and lifting module 11, and the silicone frames are separated by partitions to ensure that the silicone frames will not stick together as a whole, and the aerogel core material is placed in the aerogel loading and lifting module 14 at the same time. In this embodiment, two aerogel loading and lifting modules 14 and three silicone frame loading and lifting modules 11 are provided. During operation, the top layer of silicone frame is first clamped from the silicone frame loading and lifting module 11 by the four-axis robot loading mechanism 12, and then the partition part of the surface is removed and placed in the partition unloading and lifting module 7, and then the bottom silicone frame can be placed on the silicone frame transfer platform 16 for material preparation. At this time, the four-axis robot loading mechanism 12 can repeat the above steps again to clamp the subsequent silicone frames.

[0020] In this embodiment, the silicone frame loading module 8 absorbs the silicone frame product from above the silicone frame transfer platform 16 and moves it to above the six-station turntable to place the product on one of the carriers of the six-station turntable. Subsequently, through the rotation process of the rotating mechanism, the PET film and aerogel assembly process can be performed on the silicone frame. At this time, the station where the silicone frame is placed is controlled by the rotating mechanism to rotate 60°, and the silicone frame can be moved to the second station. At this time, the aerogel loading module 10 is started to absorb the aerogel core material stacked in the aerogel loading lifting module 14, and finally the absorbed aerogel is placed on the aerogel secondary positioning module 9 station for positioning. This process can ensure that the aerogel and the center of the silicone frame remain on the same line. After positioning is completed, the aerogel after positioning is absorbed again by the aerogel loading module 10, and finally placed in the silicone frame that has been stretched, and the assembly process of the aerogel and the silicone frame can be completed.

[0021] After completing the assembly process of the aerogel and the silicone frame, the rotating mechanism 9 is controlled to rotate 60° again, so that the materials assembled with the aerogel and the silicone frame are moved to the cleaning module 3 area. The cleaning module 3 uses the built-in vacuum module and brush structure to remove and clean the dust on the surface of the silicone frame and the aerogel. After cleaning, it is controlled to move to the subsequent workstation for coating treatment.

[0022] In this embodiment, the cleaned aerogel and silicone frame assembly is controlled by the rotating mechanism 9 to move to the PET attachment module 4 area. At this time, the PET film is sucked by the flyer mechanism 1 and moved to the visual system next to the clamping shaping module 6. The sucked PET film is photographed by the visual system, and the three-axis coordinate position of the PET film is calibrated and adjusted until the suction angle of the PET film is aligned with the silicone frame on the corresponding station, and finally the attachment and bonding process of the PET film is completed. At the same time, the PET film is preheated by the heating module on the PET attachment module 4. The heating treatment makes the PET film itself produce a certain viscosity, thereby ensuring that the PET film can be adhered and bonded to the aerogel part, avoiding the problem of the PET film falling off during the subsequent rotation process.

[0023] In this embodiment, the materials after the preliminary assembly are transferred to the four-station indexing plate 2 through the turntable docking module 17, and the assembled PET film is adsorbed and attached through the adsorption holes at each station on the four-station indexing plate 2, and the other side of the aerogel is dusted again through the additional cleaning module 3 after rotating 90°. Subsequently, the PET film is also attached to the other side of the silicone frame by rotating 90° again, and finally, the assembled materials are transported to the product unloading module 5 area by rotating 90° again under the driving action of the four-station indexing plate 2. The product is pushed directly to the subsequent assembly line through the product unloading module 5, and the entire loading, assembly and unloading process can be completed.

[0024] The basic principles and main features of the present invention and the advantages of the present invention are shown and described above. For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the present invention is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic features of the present invention.

[0025] In addition, it should be understood that although the present specification is described according to implementation modes, not every implementation mode contains only one independent technical solution. This description of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment may also be appropriately combined to form other implementation modes that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
