In addition, the speed of manual operation is limited and difficult to meet the needs of large-scale production, which restricts the production efficiency and market competitiveness of enterprises to a certain extent. To address these challenges and improve the efficiency and quality of button alignment and assembly, there is an urgent need for an automated alignment and assembly device.

[0003] The utility model can achieve precise alignment and assembly of buttons, improve the alignment and assembly efficiency, increase production capacity, reduce labor costs, and enhance market competitiveness. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The utility model aims to solve the technical problems raised in the above background art and provides a positioning and placing device for button assembly.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the utility model provides the following technical solution: A positioning and placing device for button assembly, comprising: a base, a bearing plate is fixedly installed in the middle of the upper end of the base, a detection probe is fixedly installed on the front side of the upper end of the bearing plate, a horizontal feeding plate is fixedly installed on the right side of the detection probe, a positioning driving cylinder is arranged above the rear side of the detection probe, a horizontal feeding cylinder is fixedly installed behind the positioning driving cylinder, a vertical feeding plate is fixedly installed on the left side of the detection probe, a directional rotating wheel is rotatably installed at the bottom of the positioning driving cylinder, a pneumatic finger driving cylinder is fixedly installed at the output end of the horizontal feeding cylinder, and a horizontal feeding groove and a vertical feeding groove are respectively formed in the middle parts of the horizontal feeding plate and the vertical feeding plate.

[0007] Further preferred solution: A fixed plate is fixedly installed at the upper end of the detection probe. A material pushing groove is formed at the upper end of the fixed plate. A material pushing cylinder is fixedly installed at the front end of the detection probe. A push head is slidably installed at the output end of the material pushing cylinder. The push head is arranged in the material pushing groove.

[0008] Further preferred solution: A fitting head is fixedly installed at the bottom of the directional rotating wheel. Convex strips are arranged on the surface of the fitting head. A detection head is arranged on the right side at the bottom of the directional rotating wheel. The fitting head is arranged above the pneumatic finger driving cylinder.

[0009] Further preferred solution: A pneumatic finger is fixedly installed at the output end of the pneumatic finger driving cylinder. A finger-shaped cavity is formed at the upper end of the pneumatic finger.

[0010] Further preferred solution: The fitting head is arranged directly above the finger-shaped cavity. The detection head is arranged on the right side of the finger-shaped cavity. The bottom of the pneumatic finger is slidably connected to the riveting plate at the upper end of the bearing plate.

[0011] Beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. By providing a detection probe, a material pushing cylinder and a material pushing groove, when part A of the product reaches inside the material pushing groove, the detection probe can promptly sense the arrival of part A of the product and provide a trigger signal for the subsequent pushing action. After receiving the signal from the detection probe, the material pushing cylinder acts quickly and drives the push head to push the material. The material pushing groove provides a clear path and restriction for the movement of the push head, ensuring that the push head can stably and accurately push part A of the product along a predetermined direction and make it reach the designated position, such as the finger-shaped cavity, to prepare for the subsequent processing procedures;

[0013] 2. By providing a directional rotating wheel, a fitting head, convex strips and a detection head, the directional rotating wheel provides power and direction control for the movement of the fitting head. The fitting head is used to contact part A of the product and perform preliminary positioning. The convex strips increase the fitting stability and accuracy between the fitting head and part A of the product. When the positions of the convex strips and the limiting holes on part A of the product do not correspond, the rotation adjustment of the directional rotating wheel enables the convex strips to be accurately inserted, thereby completing precise positioning. The detection head is used to monitor the position and movement state of the fitting head. When the directional rotating wheel rotates to make the convex strips coincide with the limiting holes of part A of the product, the directional rotating wheel sinks under the action of elastic force, and the convex line on the side of the directional rotating wheel contacts the detection head, triggering subsequent actions, such as the cylinder rising and lateral feeding;

[0014] 3. In summary, for the positioning and placing device for button assembly, by setting up structures such as detection probes, directionally rotating wheels, finger-shaped cavities, and riveting modules, the detection probes can accurately detect the position and status of products in real time, providing key trigger signals for subsequent operations. The directionally rotating wheels and their related structures can precisely position and adjust the angles of products, ensuring the correct posture of products during the assembly process. The finger-shaped cavities provide stable clamping and transfer spaces for products, ensuring smooth transitions between various processes. The riveting module finally firmly connects all components together to complete the button assembly. The whole process is smooth, precise, and efficient, greatly improving the production quality and efficiency of button alignment and riveting. At the same time, the collaborative work between various structures also reduces manual intervention and error rates. Brief Description of the Drawings

[0019] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the attached Figures 1 - 3 drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model.

[0020] Please refer to Figures 1 - 3, in the embodiment of the present utility model, a positioning and placing device for button assembly includes: a base 1, a load-bearing plate 101 is fixedly installed in the middle of the upper end of the base 1, a detection probe 2 is fixedly installed on the front side of the upper end of the load-bearing plate 101, a horizontal feeding plate 3 is fixedly installed on the right side of the detection probe 2, a positioning driving cylinder 4 is arranged above the rear side of the detection probe 2, a horizontal feeding cylinder 5 is fixedly installed behind the positioning driving cylinder 4, a vertical feeding plate 6 is fixedly installed on the left side of the detection probe 2, a directional rotating wheel 401 is rotatably installed at the bottom of the positioning driving cylinder 4, a pneumatic finger driving cylinder 501 is fixedly installed at the output end of the horizontal feeding cylinder 5, a horizontal feeding groove 301 and a vertical feeding groove 601 are respectively formed in the middle of the horizontal feeding plate 3 and the vertical feeding plate 6. The base 1 serves as the basic support structure of the entire device, ensuring the stability and reliability of the device. The load-bearing plate 101 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the base 1. The load-bearing plate 101 bears the weight of the upper components and provides a stable installation position for them. Then, the detection probe 2 is installed on the front side of the upper end of the load-bearing plate 101. The horizontal feeding plate 3 on the right side of the detection probe 2 provides a channel for the horizontal supply of product A through the formed horizontal feeding groove 301, and conveys product A downward to the detection probe 2. At this time, the detection probe 2 detects the presence of product A, and pushes product A to the finger-shaped cavity 503 through the pushing cylinder 203. Then, the positioning driving cylinder 4 above the finger-shaped cavity 503 starts to work, moves the directional rotating wheel 401 downward, makes the fitting head 402 contact product A, and performs positioning rotation on it. Then, the horizontal feeding cylinder 5 moves the pneumatic finger 502 horizontally, so that product A moves into the positioning hole 104. Then, the vertical feeding plate 6 feeds downward through the vertical feeding groove 601, so that product B falls on the upper end of product A, and the two product components are riveted by the riveting module 102 to form a complete button.

[0021] In the embodiment of the present utility model, a riveting module 102 is fixedly installed at the right end of the load-bearing plate 101, a riveting plate 103 is arranged above the riveting module 102, the riveting plate 103 is fixedly installed on the load-bearing plate 101, and a positioning hole 104 is formed in the left side of the upper end of the riveting plate 103. When product A is placed in the positioning hole 104 and fits with the riveting bottom die, it can ensure the accurate position of the components during riveting, thereby improving the accuracy and quality of riveting. And product B is located at the upper end of product A. At this time, the two components are riveted by the riveting module 102 to make the two components closely connected and formed into a complete button.

[0022] In the embodiment of the present utility model, a fixing plate 201 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the detection probe 2. A material pushing groove 202 is formed at the upper end of the fixing plate 201. A material pushing cylinder 203 is fixedly installed at the front end of the detection probe 2. A push head 204 is slidably installed at the output end of the material pushing cylinder 203. The push head 204 is arranged in the material pushing groove 202. When the product A enters the inside of the material pushing groove 202, the detection probe 2 detects the presence of the product A. At this time, the material pushing cylinder 203 is started. The material pushing cylinder 203 makes the push head 204 push the product A, so that it enters the finger-shaped cavity 503, facilitating subsequent positioning operations. The material pushing groove 202 provides a guiding and limiting function for the movement of the push head 204, ensuring that the push head 204 can perform the material pushing action along a predetermined path.

[0023] In the embodiment of the present utility model, a fitting head 402 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the directional rotating wheel 401. A convex strip 403 is arranged on the surface of the fitting head 402. A detection head 404 is arranged on the right side at the bottom of the directional rotating wheel 401. The fitting head 402 is arranged above the pneumatic finger driving cylinder 501. The output end of the pneumatic finger driving cylinder 501 is fixedly installed with a pneumatic finger 502. A finger-shaped cavity 503 is formed at the upper end of the pneumatic finger 502. The fitting head 402 is arranged directly above the finger-shaped cavity 503. The detection head 404 is arranged on the right side of the finger-shaped cavity 503. The bottom of the pneumatic finger 502 is slidably connected with the riveting plate 103 at the upper end of the bearing plate 101. When the product A enters the inside of the finger-shaped cavity 503, under the action of the downward elastic force, the directional rotating wheel 401 drives the fitting head 402 to be initially in contact with the upper end of the product A. When the convex strip 403 and the limiting hole on the product A are in the same position, the fitting head 402 directly embeds into the upper end of the product A. When the convex strip 403 and the limiting hole are in different positions, at this time, the directional rotating wheel 401 rotates less than or equal to one week, and the convex strip 403 is stably engaged and stuck with the groove of the product A. At this time, the directional rotating wheel 401 sinks under the action of the elastic force, and the convex line on the side surface of the directional rotating wheel 401 contacts the detection head 404. The cylinder is started to rise, and the convex strip 403 at the lower end surface of the directional rotating wheel 401 disengages from the upper end surface of the groove of the product A. At this time, the transverse material feeding cylinder 5 is started, and the pneumatic finger driving cylinder 501 and the pneumatic finger 502 are moved to the left side to reach the riveting die 102. The pneumatic finger 502 releases the product A, and the pneumatic finger 502 retreats under the action of the cylinder 501, and the product is riveted by the riveting die 102.

[0024] Working principle: First, part A of the product is conveyed downward through the horizontal feeding groove 301 of the horizontal feeding plate 3 to the detection probe 2. After the detection probe 2 detects part A of the product, the pushing cylinder 203 is started. The pushing cylinder 203 pushes the push head 204 to move along the feeding groove 202, and pushes part A of the product to the finger-shaped cavity 503 of the pneumatic finger 502. When part A of the product enters the finger-shaped cavity 503, the positioning drive cylinder 4 works, and the directional rotating wheel 401 moves downward under the action of elastic force. If the convex strip 403 on the surface of the fitting head 402 corresponds to the position of the limit groove on part A of the product, the fitting head 402 directly fits in; if the positions do not correspond, the directional rotating wheel 401 rotates until the convex strip 403 fits and locks with the limit groove. The directional rotating wheel 401 sinks under the action of elastic force, and its side convex line contacts the detection head 404. The cylinder rises to make the convex strip 403 disengage from part A of the product. Then, the horizontal feeding cylinder 5 is started, and the pneumatic finger 502 with part A of the product is horizontally moved into the positioning hole 104 on the riveting plate 103. The pneumatic finger 502 releases part A of the product, and the pneumatic finger 502 retreats under the action of the cylinder 501. Then, the vertical feeding plate 6 feeds downward through the vertical feeding groove 601, so that part B of the product falls on the upper end of part A of the product. Finally, the riveting module 102 rivets part A of the product and part B of the product in the positioning hole 104 to make it a complete button.
