The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
[0027] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings:
[0028] like Figures 1-3As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, a key riveting device is provided, which includes a base 1, a PPU handling device 7, a riveting device, a flexible vibrating bowl 2, and a vision detector 22. The flexible vibrating bowl 2 is installed on the base 1. The riveting device is arranged on one side of the flexible vibrating bowl 2. Both the PPU handling device 7 and the vision detector 22 are mounted above the flexible vibrating bowl 2. The key shanks are conveyed to the surface of the flexible vibrating bowl 2 through a conveyor belt. Then, the flexible vibrating bowl 2 flips the key shanks through vibration. The vision detector 22 irradiates downward to collect information. The vision detector 22 is mounted above the flexible vibrating bowl 2 through a plurality of elevation posts, and monitors the directions and positions of each key shank on the flexible vibrating bowl 2 in real time to control the movement of the horizontal linear module 3 and the vertical linear module 4.
[0029] A horizontal linear module 3 and a vertical linear module 4 are also installed on the base 1. The vertical linear module 4 is fixedly arranged at the output end of the horizontal linear module 3. The PPU handling device 7 is fixedly arranged on the vertical linear module 4. The PPU handling device 7 is movably connected to the base 1 through the vertical linear module 4 and the horizontal linear module 3. Therefore, the PPU handling device 7 can move to the corresponding position to grasp the key shanks.
[0030] In this embodiment, an extension rod 6 extending vertically downward is fixedly arranged at the output end of the PPU handling device 7. A rotary motor 5 is fixedly arranged at the end of the extension rod 6. An air-operated gripper is fixedly arranged at the end of the output shaft of the rotary motor 5. The rotary motor 5 rotates according to the signal output by the vision detector 22. That is to say, the air-operated gripper can rotate adaptively after grasping the key shank, and can be placed on the placement groove of the riveting device for the riveting process after rotating to the appropriate position.
[0031] A pad platform is also fixedly arranged on the base 1. The horizontal module is fixedly arranged on the pad platform to facilitate working at a higher elevation. The vision detector 22 is located above the PPU handling device 7 and the flexible vibrating bowl 2 to prevent interference when the PPU is operating.
[0032] In this embodiment, the riveting device is installed on the base 1. The riveting device includes a feeding component and a stamping component. The feeding component is arranged on one side of the material placement end of the stamping component.
[0033] In this embodiment, the feeding assembly includes a feeding table. A guiding bar 16 is fixedly arranged on the top of the feeding table. One end of the guiding bar 16 is connected to an external vibrating disc. The vibrating disc can feed the key heads into a limiting groove 12 (mentioned below) in an orderly manner in a preset direction and position through a vibrating part. A guiding groove 15 is arranged in the middle of the guiding bar 16. After the key heads pass through the guiding groove 15 in an orderly manner, they will reach the limiting groove 12. A limiting block 11 is fixedly arranged at the discharging end of the guiding bar 16. A limiting groove 12 communicating with the guiding groove 15 is formed in the limiting block 11. The limiting groove 12 extends to one side surface of the limiting block 11 and does not penetrate through the other side surface. Therefore, when the key heads are fed, they will be fed into the limiting groove 12 and abut against the inner side wall of the limiting block 11, so as to realize feeding limit. A lifting cylinder 13 is installed below the limiting block 11. The top of the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 13 is fixedly provided with a lifting block 14. The lifting block 14 slides in the limiting groove 12. The key heads will wait to be pushed out upward after being fed into the limiting groove 12. It is worth mentioning that when the lifting block 14 is not pushed up, the top end of the lifting block 14 is flush with the guiding groove 15, so that the key heads can be fed into the limiting groove 12 without interference. When the lifting block 14 is pushed up, the top end of the lifting block 14 is flush with the top end of the limiting block 11, and the key heads will be pushed to the position of the clamping groove 10 in the stamping assembly, and wait for the operation of the stamping linear module 8 to move the key heads to rivet with the key shanks.
[0034] In this embodiment, the stamping assembly includes a riveting table 17. A placing groove 21 for placing the key shanks is formed on one side of the riveting table 17. The pneumatic gripper can grip the key shanks and rotate them, and then place them on the placing groove 21 as required. The pneumatic gripper can be a nozzle or a suction cup optionally. A pair of slide rails 23 and a sliding cylinder 20 are fixedly arranged on one side of the riveting table 17. The cylinder body of the sliding cylinder 20 is fixedly connected to the riveting table 17. A sliding plate 19 is arranged on the slide rails 23. The sliding plate 19 is slidably connected to the riveting table 17 through the slide rails 23. The piston rod of the sliding cylinder 20 is fixedly connected to the sliding plate 19. The sliding cylinder 20 is used to control the sliding of the sliding plate 19 relative to the riveting table 17. A receiving plate 18 is fixedly arranged on one side of the sliding plate 19. The receiving plate 18 is arranged between the limiting block 11 and the placing groove 21. The receiving plate 18 is flush with the surface of the limiting block 11 to facilitate the smooth sliding of the key heads over the receiving plate 18. The receiving plate 18 is used for riveting when the key heads are pressed against the key shanks and can bear a certain compressive stress. After riveting is completed, the sliding cylinder 20 can control the movement of the receiving plate 18. After the riveted keys are supported, they will fall into the aggregate box along with gravity.
[0035] In this embodiment, the stamping assembly includes a linear stamping module 8. A stamping plate 9 is fixedly arranged at the output end of the linear stamping module 8. The stamping plate 9 is provided with a clamping groove 10. When the lifting block 14 rises, it will control the key head to move into the clamping groove 10 and wait for the movement of the stamping plate 9. The stamping plate 9 is located above the limiting block 11. When the key head is lifted, it will break away from the restriction of the limiting groove 12 so that it can slide backward and be inserted and riveted with the key handle. The stamping plate 9 abuts against the limiting block 11, and the shape of the clamping groove 10 matches that of the limiting groove 12.
[0036] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity of description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered as the scope described in this specification. For those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present invention, several deformations and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present invention shall be subject to the appended claims.
