DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the present application proposes a workpiece assembly device 1 with high production efficiency, low loss, and high yield rate.

[0031] The workpiece assembly apparatus 1 includes a frame 10, a jig 20, an assembly mechanism 30, a blanking mechanism 40, a conveying mechanism 50, and a finished product collection box 60. The jig 20 is used to carry the workpieces to be assembled. The assembly mechanism 30 is mounted on the frame 10 and is configured to assemble the workpieces to be assembled into an assembly when the jig 20 is in a preset assembly position. The blanking mechanism 40 is mounted on the frame 10 and includes an electromagnet 42. The blanking mechanism 40 is configured to grasp and release the assembly in the jig 20 via the electromagnet 42 when the jig 20 is in the preset blanking position. The conveying mechanism 50 is mounted on the frame 10 and is connected to the jig 20. The conveying mechanism 50 is configured to drive the jig 20 to move in a first direction MM' to switch the jig 20 between the preset assembly position and the preset blanking position. The finished product collection box 60 is located below the unloading mechanism 40. The finished product collection box 60 has a collection port 61, which corresponds to the preset unloading position. When the jig 20 is in the preset unloading position, the jig 20 blocks the collection port 61 of the finished product collection box 60. When the jig 20 is in the preset assembly position, the jig 20 is away from the collection port 61 of the finished product collection box 60.

[0032] The following combination Figure 1-Figure 5 The specific structure of the workpiece assembly device 1 is introduced in detail. It should be noted that the workpiece assembly device 1 in the embodiment of the present application can be used to assemble workpieces of different product forms to be assembled, and can also be used to assemble workpieces of the same product form to be assembled; for example, when the product forms of the workpieces to be assembled are different, the workpieces to be assembled can include but are not limited to the pins 2 to be assembled and the buttons 3 to be assembled (such as Figure 2 As shown), buttons to be assembled and gaskets to be assembled, etc.; for another example, when the product forms of the workpieces to be assembled are the same, the workpieces to be assembled may include but are not limited to male buckles to be assembled and female buckles to be assembled, etc.

[0033] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the workpiece assembly equipment 1 includes a frame 10 , a fixture 20 , an assembly mechanism 30 , a material unloading mechanism 40 , a conveying mechanism 50 and a finished product collection box 60 .

[0034] The frame 10 serves as the main structure of the workpiece assembly apparatus 1. The specific structure of the frame 10 is not limited here; designers can design it based on actual needs. For example, the frame 10 includes a workbench 11 and a cover 12. The assembly mechanism 30, the unloading mechanism 40, and the conveying mechanism 50 are all mounted on the workbench 11. The cover 12 is connected to the workbench 11 and covers the workbench 11. The cover 12 can be a semi-enclosed structure with an opening on one side, or a fully enclosed structure with a door on one side.

[0035] The jig 20 serves as a supporting mechanism in the workpiece assembly apparatus 1 for supporting the workpiece to be assembled. It should be noted that the jig 20 has a mounting position 21 for positioning the workpiece to be assembled. The mounting position 21 may be, but is not limited to, a virtual structure such as a mounting slot that matches the workpiece to be assembled. The mounting position 21 may also be, but is not limited to, a physical structure such as a locating pin (in which case the workpiece to be assembled has a locating hole that engages with the locating pin) that engages with the workpiece to be assembled. The number of mounting positions 21 may be one or more (two or more), and each mounting position 21 is used to place a workpiece to be assembled.

[0036] The assembly mechanism 30 serves as a module in the workpiece assembly device 1 for assembling independent workpieces to be assembled into a combined body; the specific structure of the assembly mechanism 30 will be described in detail below.

[0037] The assembly mechanism 30 is mounted on the frame 10. The specific connection method between the assembly mechanism 30 and the frame 10 is not limited herein, and designers may reasonably design the connection based on actual needs. For example, the assembly mechanism 30 may be, but is not limited to, detachably connected to the frame 10 via at least one of screwing, snapping, or plugging. For another example, the assembly mechanism 30 may be, but is not limited to, non-detachably connected to the frame 10 via welding or riveting.

[0038] The assembly mechanism 30 is configured to assemble the workpieces to be assembled into a combination when the fixture 20 is in a preset assembly position. The "preset assembly position" is the position of the fixture 20 when the assembly mechanism 30 performs the assembly operation on the workpieces to be assembled (e.g., Figure 1 The position of the jig 20 is shown. It should be noted that, taking the workpieces to be assembled as the latch 2 to be assembled and the button 3 to be assembled as an example, the button 3 to be assembled has an assembly position that is compatible with the latch 2 to be assembled; wherein the assembly position may be, but is not limited to, a virtual structure such as an assembly hole formed on the button 3 to be assembled. In this case, the latch 2 to be assembled can be directly inserted into the assembly hole of the button 3 to be assembled under the action of the assembly mechanism 30 to assemble to form a combined body; the assembly position may also be, but is not limited to, a physical structure such as a fixing pin provided on the button 3 to be assembled. In this case, the latch 2 to be assembled has a fixing hole. In this case, the latch 2 to be assembled is connected to the fixing pin of the button 3 to be assembled under the action of the assembly mechanism 30 to assemble to form a combined body.

[0039] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the blanking mechanism 40 serves as a module in the workpiece assembly equipment 1 for taking out the assembly in the installation position 21 of the fixture 20 and placing it into the finished product collection box 60; the specific structure of the blanking mechanism 40 will be introduced in detail below.

[0040] The blanking mechanism 40 is mounted on the frame 10. The specific connection method between the blanking mechanism 40 and the frame 10 is not limited herein, and designers may reasonably design it based on actual needs. For example, the blanking mechanism 40 may be, but is not limited to, detachably connected to the frame 10 by at least one of screwing, snapping, or plugging. For another example, the blanking mechanism 40 may be, but is not limited to, non-detachably connected to the frame 10 by welding or riveting.

[0041] The unloading mechanism 40 includes an electromagnet 42 , which is adapted to generate magnetism when energized and to eliminate magnetism when de-energized.

[0042] The unloading mechanism 40 is configured to grasp and release the assembly in the jig 20 via the electromagnet 42 when the jig 20 is in a preset unloading position. The "preset unloading position" refers to the position of the jig 20 when the unloading mechanism 40 is unloading the assembly. It should be noted that if the jig 20 has multiple mounting positions 21, when the jig 20 is in the preset assembly position, the assembly mechanism 30 can simultaneously assemble the workpieces in multiple mounting positions 21. Furthermore, when the jig 20 is in the preset unloading position, the unloading mechanism 40 can simultaneously remove the assemblies from multiple mounting positions 21 and place them in the finished product collection box 60.

[0043] The conveying mechanism 50 serves as a transmission module of the workpiece assembly equipment 1 . The specific structure of the conveying mechanism 50 will be described in detail below.

[0044] The conveying mechanism 50 is mounted on the frame 10. The specific connection method between the conveying mechanism 50 and the frame 10 is not limited herein, and designers may reasonably design it based on actual needs. For example, the conveying mechanism 50 may be, but is not limited to, detachably connected to the frame 10 by at least one of screwing, snapping, or plugging. For another example, the conveying mechanism 50 may be, but is not limited to, non-detachably connected to the frame 10 by welding or riveting.

[0045] The conveying mechanism 50 is connected to the jig 20, and the jig 20 is installed at the driving end of the conveying mechanism 50; the specific connection method between the jig 20 and the driving end of the conveying mechanism 50 is not limited here, and the designer can make a reasonable design according to actual needs; for example, the jig 20 can be, but is not limited to, detachably connected to the driving end of the conveying mechanism 50 by at least one of screw connection, clip connection or plug-in connection; for another example, the jig 20 can also be, but is not limited to, non-detachably connected to the driving end of the conveying mechanism 50 by welding or riveting.

[0046] The conveying mechanism 50 is configured to drive the jig 20 to move in the first direction MM' to switch the jig 20 between the aforementioned preset assembly position and the aforementioned preset unloading position. Thus, after the assembly mechanism 30 assembles the workpieces to be assembled in the mounting position 21 of the jig 20 into a combined assembly, the conveying mechanism 50 drives the jig 20 in the first direction MM' to transfer the jig 20 to the preset unloading position, allowing the unloading mechanism 40 to subsequently perform the unloading operation. After the unloading mechanism 40 grasps the combined assembly in the mounting position 21 of the jig 20 via the electromagnet 42, the conveying mechanism 50 drives the jig 20 in the first direction MM' to transfer the jig 20 to the preset assembly position.

[0047] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a finished product collection box 60 is used to store the assembled products. It is mounted on the frame 10 and located below the unloading mechanism 40. The finished product collection box 60 has a collection opening 61, which corresponds to a preset unloading position. When the jig 20 is in the preset unloading position, the jig 20 blocks the collection opening 61 of the finished product collection box 60. When the jig 20 is in the preset assembly position, the jig 20 is away from the collection opening 61 of the finished product collection box 60.

[0048] Based on the workpiece assembly equipment 1 in the embodiment of the present application, the operator places the workpiece to be assembled on the jig 20, the conveying mechanism 50 moves the jig 20 carrying the workpiece to be assembled to a preset assembly position, the assembling mechanism 30 assembles the workpiece to be assembled into an assembly when the jig 20 is in the preset assembly position, the conveying mechanism 50 moves the jig 20 carrying the assembly to the preset unloading position, the unloading mechanism 40 grabs the assembly in the jig 20 through the electromagnet 42 when the jig 20 is in the preset unloading position, the conveying mechanism 50 moves the empty jig 20 to the preset assembly position, and the unloading mechanism 40 releases the assembly through the electromagnet 42 so that the assembly falls from the collection port 61 into the finished product collection box 60; in this way, batch production of workpieces to be assembled is realized, which can effectively reduce assembly errors caused by manual assembly, reduce the loss of workpieces to be assembled, and improve the yield rate of the assembly. In addition, it can also effectively reduce personnel input and reduce costs.

[0049] like Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the blanking mechanism 40 further includes a first drive member 41. The first drive member 41 is mounted on the frame 10; an electromagnet 42 is mounted at the driving end of the first drive member 41. When the jig 20 is in the predetermined blanking position, the electromagnet 42 is energized, and the driving end of the first drive member 41 moves in the second direction NN' until the electromagnet 42 attracts the assembly, causing the assembly to follow the movement of the driving end of the first drive member 41 under the magnetic attraction of the electromagnet 42.

[0050] The first drive member 41 serves as the power source of the unloading mechanism 40 and is used to drive the electromagnet 42 to move in the second direction NN'. The specific form of the first drive member 41 is not limited here, and designers can reasonably design it according to actual needs. For example, the first drive member 41 can include a cylinder or a linear motor. The specific connection method between the first drive member 41 and the frame 10 is not limited here, and designers can reasonably design it according to actual needs. For example, the first drive member 41 can be, but is not limited to, fixedly connected to the frame 10 (specifically, the cover 12 described above) by screws.

[0051] The electromagnet 42 serves as a magnetic attraction part of the unloading mechanism 40 and is used for the magnetic adsorption assembly; there is no limitation on the specific connection method between the electromagnet 42 and the driving end of the first driving member 41, and the designer can make a reasonable design according to actual needs; for example, when the first driving member 41 includes a cylinder, the telescopic rod of the cylinder is connected to the electromagnet 42 as the driving end, and the electromagnet 42 can be, but is not limited to, fixedly connected to the telescopic rod of the cylinder by at least one of screw connection, clip connection or plug-in connection; for another example, when the first driving member 41 includes a linear motor, the mover of the linear motor is connected to the electromagnet 42 as the driving end, and the electromagnet 42 can be, but is not limited to, fixedly connected to the mover of the linear motor by at least one of screw connection, clip connection or plug-in connection.

[0052] When the jig 20 is in the above-mentioned preset unloading position, the electromagnet 42 is energized to generate magnetism, and the driving end of the first driving member 41 drives the electromagnet 42 to move along the second direction NN' until it contacts the assembly, and the assembly itself has magnetism and will be attracted by the electromagnet 42. Then, the driving end of the first driving member 41 drives the electromagnet 42 to move along the second direction NN' until the assembly also moves along the second direction NN' to separate from the mounting position 21 of the jig 20. Subsequently, the electromagnet 42 is powered off to eliminate its magnetism, and the assembly can separate from the electromagnet 42 and fall into the finished product collection box 60 from the collection port 61.

[0053] like Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the unloading mechanism 40 also includes a first mounting member 43, and the electromagnet 42 is mounted on the driving end of the first driving member 41 via the first mounting member 43. The first mounting member 43 serves as an intermediate connecting structure between the electromagnet 42 and the driving end of the first driving member 41. The specific structure of the first mounting member 43 is not limited here, and the designer can make a reasonable design according to actual needs; for example, the first mounting member 43 can be, but not limited to, a long strip plate structure or a long strip frame structure. The specific connection method between the first mounting member 43 and the driving end of the first driving member 41 is not limited here, and the designer can make a reasonable design according to actual needs; for example, the first mounting member 43 can be, but not limited to, fixedly connected to the driving end of the first driving member 41 by means of locking screws. The specific connection method between the electromagnet 42 and the first mounting member 43 is not limited here, and the designer can make a reasonable design according to actual needs; for example, the electromagnet 42 can be, but not limited to, fixedly connected to the first mounting member 43 by means of locking screws. By designing the first mounting member 43, the first mounting member 43 serves as an intermediate connector between the electromagnet 42 and the driving end of the first driving member 41. On the one hand, it is used to support the electromagnet 42 to provide sufficient installation space for components such as the winding of the electromagnet 42. On the other hand, it is used to connect the driving end of the first driving member 41 to reduce the difficulty of assembly between the electromagnet 42 and the driving end of the first driving member 41. It should be noted that the number of electromagnets 42 can be one or more. When there is only one electromagnet 42, in order to achieve the simultaneous attraction of assemblies in multiple mounting positions 21, the volume of the single electromagnet 42 is relatively large. When there are multiple electromagnets 42, the volume of the multiple electromagnets 42 is relatively small, and one electromagnet 42 can correspondingly attract the assembly in one mounting position 21.

[0054] like Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the first driving member 41 includes a first cylinder mounted on the frame 10. The telescopic rod of the first cylinder serves as the driving end of the first driving member 41 and is connected to the first mounting member 43. The unloading mechanism 40 also includes a first guide member 44, which is connected to the first mounting member 43 and the frame 10. The telescopic rod of the first cylinder telescopes in the second direction NN', thereby driving the first mounting member 43 to move upward and downward in the second direction NN', thereby driving the first guide member 44 to move upward and downward relative to the frame 10 in the second direction NN'. The first guide member 44 can be, but is not limited to, a guide rod or a guide block; for example, when the first guide member 44 is a guide rod, the guide rod extends along the second direction NN' and is slidably connected to the top wall of the housing 12, and the end of the guide rod can be, but is not limited to, fixedly connected to the first mounting member 43 by means of locking screws; for another example, when the first guide member 44 is a guide block, the guide block can be, but is not limited to, fixedly connected to the first mounting member 43 by means of locking screws, and the side wall of the housing 12 is provided with a guide rail slidably connected to the guide block. By designing the first guide member 44, while the telescopic rod of the first cylinder drives the first mounting member 43 to move up and down along the second direction NN', the first guide member 44 also moves up and down along the second direction NN'. The first guide member 44 provides support for the lifting movement of the first mounting member 43 in the second direction NN', thereby enhancing the stability of the lifting movement of the first mounting member 43 in the second direction NN', thereby achieving effective attraction of the electromagnet 42 to the assembly.

[0055] like Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the assembly mechanism 30 includes a second drive member 31 and an extrusion member 32. The second drive member 31 is mounted on the frame 10; the extrusion member 32 is mounted on the driving end of the second drive member 31. When the jig 20 is in the predetermined assembly position, the driving end of the second drive member 31 moves in the second direction NN' until the extrusion member 32 compresses the workpieces to be assembled, thereby assembling the workpieces into a combined assembly.

[0056] The second drive member 31 serves as the power source of the assembly mechanism 30 and is used to drive the extrusion member 32 to move in the second direction NN'. The specific form of the second drive member 31 is not limited here, and designers can reasonably design it according to actual needs. For example, the second drive member 31 can include a cylinder or a linear motor. The specific connection method between the second drive member 31 and the frame 10 is not limited here, and designers can reasonably design it according to actual needs. For example, the second drive member 31 can be, but is not limited to, fixedly connected to the frame 10 (specifically, the cover 12 described above) by screws.

[0057] The extrusion piece 32 is used as a pressing piece of the assembly mechanism 30 to apply an extrusion force to the workpieces to be assembled, so that the workpieces to be assembled are assembled into a combination under the action of the extrusion force; the extrusion piece 32 can be, but is not limited to, an extrusion plate or an extrusion block. The specific connection method between the extrusion piece 32 and the driving end of the second driving member 31 is not limited here, and the designer can make a reasonable design according to actual needs; for example, when the second driving member 31 includes a cylinder, the telescopic rod of the cylinder is connected to the extrusion piece 32 as the driving end, and the extrusion piece 32 can be, but is not limited to, fixedly connected to the telescopic rod of the cylinder by at least one of screw connection, clip connection or plug connection; for another example, when the second driving member 31 includes a linear motor, the mover of the linear motor is connected to the extrusion piece 32 as the driving end, and the extrusion piece 32 can be, but is not limited to, fixedly connected to the mover of the linear motor by at least one of screw connection, clip connection or plug connection.

[0058] When the jig 20 is in the above-mentioned preset assembly position, the driving end of the second driving member 31 moves along the second direction NN′ to make the extrusion member 32 squeeze the workpiece to be assembled, and the workpiece to be assembled is assembled into a combination under the action of the extrusion force to complete the assembly.

[0059] like Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the assembly mechanism 30 also includes a second mounting member 33, and the extrusion member 32 is mounted on the driving end of the second driving member 31 via the second mounting member 33, and the height of the extrusion member 32 relative to the second mounting member 33 in the second direction NN' is adjustable. The second mounting member 33 serves as an intermediate connecting structure between the extrusion member 32 and the driving end of the second driving member 31. The specific structure of the second mounting member 33 is not limited here, and the designer can reasonably design it according to actual needs; for example, the second mounting member 33 can be, but not limited to, a long strip plate structure or a long strip frame structure. The specific connection method between the second mounting member 33 and the driving end of the second driving member 31 is not limited here, and the designer can reasonably design it according to actual needs; for example, the second mounting member 33 can be, but not limited to, fixedly connected to the driving end of the second driving member 31 by means of locking screws. In the embodiment of the present application, the extrusion member 32 is an extrusion head, which has its own threads and is threadedly connected to the second mounting member 33. The height of the extrusion head relative to the second mounting member 33 in the second direction NN' is adjustable by rotating the extrusion head.

[0060] The second mounting member 33 is designed as an intermediate connector between the extrusion member 32 and the driving end of the second driving member 31. It supports the extrusion member 32 and connects the driving end of the second driving member 31, thereby reducing the difficulty of assembling the extrusion member 32 with the driving end of the second driving member 31. The position of the extrusion member 32 relative to the second mounting member 33 in the second direction NN' is adjustable. By adjusting the height of the extrusion member 32 in the second direction NN', the assembly height of the workpieces to be assembled can be adjusted, thereby improving the applicability of the workpiece assembly device 1. It should be noted that the number of extrusion members 32 can be one or more. When there is only one extrusion member 32, the volume of the single extrusion member 32 is relatively large to enable simultaneous extrusion of the workpieces to be assembled in multiple mounting positions 21. When there are multiple extrusion members 32, the volume of the multiple extrusion members 32 is relatively small, and one extrusion member 32 can extrude the workpieces to be assembled in one mounting position 21.

[0061] like Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the second driving member 31 includes a second cylinder mounted on the frame 10. The telescopic rod of the second cylinder serves as the driving end of the second driving member 31 and is connected to the second mounting member 33. The assembly mechanism 30 also includes a second guide member 34, which is connected to the second mounting member 33 and the frame 10. The telescopic rod of the second cylinder telescopes in the second direction NN', thereby driving the second mounting member 33 to move upward and downward in the second direction NN', thereby driving the second guide member 34 to move upward and downward relative to the frame 10 in the second direction NN'. The second guide member 34 can be, but is not limited to, another guide rod or another guide block; for example, when the second guide member 34 is another guide rod, the other guide rod extends along the second direction NN' and is slidably connected to the top wall of the housing 12, and the end of the other guide rod can be, but is not limited to, fixedly connected to the second mounting member 33 by means of locking screws; for another example, when the second guide member 34 is another guide block, the other guide block can be, but is not limited to, fixedly connected to the second mounting member 33 by means of locking screws, and the side wall of the housing 12 is provided with another guide rail slidably connected to the other guide block. By designing the second guide member 34, while the telescopic rod of the second cylinder drives the second mounting member 33 to move up and down along the second direction NN', the second guide member 34 also moves up and down along the second direction NN'. The second guide member 34 provides support for the lifting movement of the second mounting member 33 in the second direction NN', thereby enhancing the stability of the lifting movement of the second mounting member 33 in the second direction NN', thereby achieving effective extrusion of the workpiece to be assembled by the extrusion member 32.

[0062] like Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the conveying mechanism 50 includes a conveying track 51 and a third drive member 52. The conveying track 51 is mounted on the frame 10 and extends along a first direction MM'. The jig 20 is slidably connected to the conveying track 51. The third drive member 52 is mounted on the frame 10, and the driving end of the third drive member 52 is connected to the jig 20. The third drive member 52 is configured to drive the jig 20 in the first direction MM' to switch the jig 20 between a predetermined assembly position and a predetermined unloading position.

[0063] The conveyor track 51 serves as the slide rail of the conveyor mechanism 50, providing a sliding track for the jig 20. The conveyor track 51 extends along the first direction MM'. The specific connection method between the conveyor track 51 and the frame 10 is not limited herein; designers may design it appropriately based on actual needs. For example, the conveyor track 51 may be fixedly connected to the frame 10 by, but not limited to, screws. Another example is the conveyor track 51 may be fixedly connected to the frame 10 by, but not limited to, welding.

[0064] The third driving member 52 serves as the power source of the conveying mechanism 50 and is used to drive the jig 20 to move along the first direction MM'. The specific form of the third driving member 52 is not limited here, and designers can make reasonable designs according to actual needs. For example, the third driving member 52 can include a cylinder or a linear motor. The specific connection method between the third driving member 52 and the frame 10 is not limited here, and designers can make reasonable designs according to actual needs. For example, the third driving member 52 can be, but is not limited to, fixedly connected to the frame 10 (specifically, the workbench 11 introduced above) by means of locking screws. The specific connection method between the jig 20 and the driving end of the third driving member 52 is not limited here, and designers can make reasonable designs according to actual needs. For example, the jig 20 can be, but is not limited to, fixedly connected to the driving end of the third driving member 52 by means of locking screws.

[0065] By designing the third driving member 52 and the conveying track 51, after the assembly mechanism 30 assembles the workpieces to be assembled in the mounting position 21 of the jig 20 into an assembly, the third driving member 52 drives the jig 20 to move along the first direction MM' against the conveying track 51 to transfer the jig 20 to a preset unloading position so that the subsequent unloading mechanism 40 can perform the unloading operation. After the unloading mechanism 40 grabs the assembly in the mounting position 21 of the jig 20 through the electromagnet 42, the third driving member 52 drives the jig 20 to move along the first direction MM' against the conveying track 51 to transfer the jig 20 to the preset assembly position.

[0066] like Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the third driving member 52 includes a third cylinder, and the telescopic rod of the third cylinder serves as the driving end of the third driving member 52 and is connected to the jig 20. The telescopic rod of the third cylinder performs telescopic movement along the first direction MM'. Thus, after the assembly mechanism 30 assembles the workpieces to be assembled in the mounting position 21 of the jig 20 into an assembly, the telescopic rod of the third cylinder performs telescopic movement to drive the jig 20 to move along the first direction MM' against the conveying track 51, thereby transferring the jig 20 to a preset unloading position for subsequent unloading operation by the unloading mechanism 40. After the unloading mechanism 40 grasps the assembly in the mounting position 21 of the jig 20 via the electromagnet 42, the telescopic rod of the third cylinder performs telescopic movement to drive the jig 20 to move along the first direction MM' against the conveying track 51, thereby transferring the jig 20 to the preset assembly position.

[0067] like Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the workpiece assembly apparatus 1 further includes a dual-activation button 70, which is disposed on the frame 10. Once the workpiece to be assembled is placed in the mounting position 21 of the jig 20, the operator can activate the dual-activation button 70 with both hands, and the apparatus will resume normal operation. The dual-activation button 70 is advantageous in that it prevents the operator from accidentally activating one of the buttons, potentially leading to accidents.

[0068] The following describes the working principle of the workpiece assembly device 1 by taking the workpieces to be assembled as the latch 2 and the button 3 as an example, as follows:

[0069] Step 1: The jig 20 is in a preset assembly position. The operator places the latch 2 and the button 3 to be assembled in the installation position 21 of the jig 20 and triggers the dual start button 70.

[0070] Step 2: The telescopic rod of the second cylinder moves downward in the second direction NN′ so that the extruding member 32 squeezes the latch 2 to be assembled. Under the extrusion force of the extruding member 32, the latch 2 to be assembled is assembled with the button 3 to form a combined body.

[0071] Step 3: The telescopic rod of the second cylinder moves upward in the second direction NN', and the telescopic rod of the third cylinder moves telescopically to drive the jig 20 to move along the conveying track 51 from the preset assembly position to the preset unloading position in the first direction MM';

[0072] Step 4: The electromagnet 42 is energized, and the telescopic rod of the first cylinder moves downward in the second direction NN' so that the electromagnet 42 contacts and attracts the latch in the assembly. The telescopic rod of the first cylinder then moves upward in the second direction NN' so that the assembly is separated from the mounting position 21 of the fixture 20.

[0073] Step 5: The telescopic rod of the third cylinder performs telescopic movement to drive the jig 20 to move along the first direction MM′ from the preset unloading position to the preset assembly position against the conveying track 51;

[0074] Step 6: The electromagnet 42 is powered off, and the assembly falls from the collection port 61 into the finished product collection box 60 under its own gravity.

[0075] It should be noted that the preset assembly position in step 1 is the loading position, which can reduce the overall volume of the workpiece assembly device 1.
