The material picking member 430 of the buckle loading device 400 is used to remove the buckle 20 located at the loading position 232 and assemble the buckle 20 at the connecting position 13. Specifically, the first transfer device 410 drives the material picking portion 431 of the material picking member 430 to align with the buckle 20 in the loading chute 231 at the loading position 232 and drives the material picking portion 431 to insert into the buckle 20's slot 21, thereby removing the buckle 20. The first transfer device 410 then drives the material picking portion 431 and the buckle 20 to move together to the side of the power tool positioning seat 300, aligning the buckle 20 with the connection position 13. The buckle 20 is then assembled to the connection position 13 under the push of the pushing mechanism 440. Simultaneously, the third drive member 240 drives the rotating member 230 to rotate and reset, causing the loading chute 231 to return to the output slot 222, allowing the next buckle 20 to be fed into the loading chute 231, and this process is repeated. The third drive member 240 may be a motor or a rotary cylinder. The buckles 20 may be arranged and placed in the feeding chute 221 manually or by a robot.
[0067] Further, refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9The buckle feeding device 200 further includes a support frame 251, a vibrating material box 252, a vibrating material cylinder 253, a CCD camera 254, and a transfer manipulator 260. The support frame 251 is provided on the frame 100, the vibrating material cylinder 253 is provided on the support frame 251, the vibrating material box 252 is provided on the vibrating material cylinder 253 for placing the buckle 20, and the vibrating material cylinder 253 is used to drive the vibrating material box 252 to vibrate so that the buckle 20 in the vibrating material box 252 is leveled (for example, when the vibrating material box 252 vibrates, the slot 21 of the buckle 20 in it faces upward, so that the first manipulator can remove the buckle 20). Specifically, the vibrating material cylinder 253 drives the vibrating material box 252 to vibrate by the telescopic movement of its telescopic rod, and the structure is simple. The CCD camera 254 is arranged above the vibration box 252 and is used to take pictures and locate the buckles 20 in the vibration box 252. The transfer robot 260 is arranged on the frame 100. The adsorption part 261 of the transfer robot 260 is used to transfer the flattened buckles 20 in the vibration box 252 to the feeding track 220 in sequence, so that multiple buckles 20 are arranged and placed in the feeding track 220. Specifically, the CCD camera 254 takes a picture of the buckle 20 in the vibrating material box 252 to locate it, allowing the transfer robot 260 to obtain the position of the buckle 20 in the flattened state in the vibrating material box 252. Then, the suction component 261 of the transfer robot 260 (for example, the suction component 261 is a suction air pipe) sucks the flattened buckle 20 through negative pressure adsorption and transfers it to the feeding track 220. Finally, the suction component 261 of the transfer robot 260 removes the negative pressure, placing the buckle 20 in the feeding track 220, and repeats this process. Among them, the CCD camera 254 and the transfer robot 260 are mature existing technologies. The suction air pipe can be connected to an air pump to provide negative pressure for the suction air pipe.
[0068] Further, refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 The buckle feeding device 200 also includes a second vibrator 270; a feeding box 271 is provided on the second vibrator 270, and a large number of buckles 20 are placed in the feeding box 271. The feeding box 271 is provided with a discharge trough 272, and the discharge trough 272 extends into the vibration box 252. The buckles 20 in the feeding box 271 are input into the vibration box 252 from the discharge trough 272 under the drive of the second vibrator 270, and the buckles 20 are replenished into the vibration box 252 to ensure that there are sufficient buckles 20.
[0069] In another embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 9 and Figure 10The power tool buckle automatic assembly equipment further includes a label feeding device 500 and a transfer robot 260. The label feeding device 500 includes a stand 510, a reeling roller 520, a guide roller 530, a platform 540, a reeling roller 550 and a drive assembly 560. The stand 510 is fixed on the frame 100, and one end of the unwinding roller 520 is rotatably mounted on the stand 510 through a bearing for placing a label roll 570. The tape of the label roll 570 is arranged with a number of labels. One end of the guide roller 530 is rotatably mounted on the stand 510 through a bearing for guiding the tape of the label roll 570. The platform 540 is horizontally arranged on the stand 510, and one end of the winding roller 550 is rotatably mounted on the stand 510 through a bearing and is driven to rotate by the driving assembly 560. The tape of the label roll 570 passes through the guide roller 530 from the upper end surface of the platform 540 around the lower end surface of the platform 540 and is connected to the winding roller 550. The suction head 262 of the transfer robot 260 is used to absorb a label on the tape located on the upper end surface of the platform 540 and stick the label on the outer wall of the power tool 10. Specifically, the drive assembly 560 drives the reel 550 to rotate and move the tape of the label roll 570 forward. The tape and the label thereon are displayed flatly on the upper end surface of the platform 540. At this time, the adsorption head 262 of the transfer robot 260 (for example, the adsorption head 262 is provided with a plurality of adsorption pores) absorbs the front label on the tape at the upper end surface of the platform 540 by means of negative pressure adsorption. The adsorption head 262 absorbs the label and moves it toward the power tool 10 to separate it from the tape. Finally, the label is affixed to the outer wall of the power tool 10 to complete the labeling. Among them, the transfer robot 260 is a multi-axis robot (industrial robot arm, etc.), and the multi-axis robot is a mature existing technology. The adsorption pores can be connected to an air pump to provide negative pressure for the adsorption pores.
[0070] Further, refer to Figure 10 The label loading device 500 and the transfer robot 260 can be equipped with a CCD camera, which is used to take pictures and locate the label sucked by the adsorption head 262, so that the transfer robot 260 can accurately stick the label to the designated position on the outer wall of the power tool 10.
[0071] Further, refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10A driving cylinder 580 and a first clamping plate 581 are also provided between the guide roller 530 and the platform 540. The telescopic rod of the driving cylinder 580 is provided with a second clamping plate 582, which is arranged opposite to the first clamping plate 581. The tape of the label roll 570 is passed between the first clamping plate 581 and the second clamping plate 582. When the suction head 262 of the transfer robot 260 sucks the label and drives the label to separate from the tape, the telescopic rod of the driving cylinder 580 drives the second clamping plate 582 to move closer to the first clamping plate 581, clamping the tape between the first clamping plate 581 and the second clamping plate 582 to prevent the tape from being lifted. When the tape is transported forward, the telescopic rod of the driving cylinder 580 drives the second clamping plate 582 away from the first clamping plate 581, and the first clamping plate 581 and the second clamping plate 582 release the clamping of the tape.
[0072] Furthermore, the drive assembly 560 includes a first motor and a transmission structure, both mounted on the stand 510. The first motor is connected to one end of the winding roller 550 via the transmission structure to drive the winding roller 550 to rotate. The transmission structure can be a gear 463 set, a sprocket and chain transmission structure, or a pulley and belt transmission structure. The number of gears 463 in the gear 463 set and the parameters of the gears 463 can be determined according to actual production requirements and are not limited here.
[0073] In another embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 11 The electric tool buckle automatic assembly equipment also includes a product unloading device 600. The product unloading device 600 includes a second transfer device 610, a conveying mechanism 620 and a finger cylinder 630. The second transfer device 610 and the conveying mechanism 620 are both arranged on the frame 100. The finger cylinder 630 is arranged on the second transfer device 610. The two fingers of the finger cylinder 630 are each provided with a clamping member 631. The finger cylinder 630 is used to drive the two clamping members 631 to move closer to or away from each other, thereby clamping or releasing the electric tool 10. The second transfer device 610 is used to drive the two clamping members 631 to move between the electric tool positioning seat 300 and the conveying mechanism 620, so that the two clamping members 631 transfer the electric tool 10 with the buckle 20 assembled in the electric tool positioning seat 300 to the conveying mechanism 620, and output the electric tool 10 with the buckle 20 assembled through the conveying mechanism 620 as a finished product.
[0074] Among them, the second transfer device 610 can be any combination of one or more of the X-axis linear module, the Y-axis linear module and the Z-axis linear module. The specific structural form of the second transfer device 610 is not limited here as long as it can drive the two clamping parts 631 to move between the power tool positioning seat 300 and the conveying mechanism 620.
[0075] In a specific embodiment, referring to Figure 11The second transfer device 610 includes a bracket 611 mounted on the frame 100, a second X-axis transfer mechanism 612 mounted on the bracket 611, a second Z-axis transfer mechanism 613 mounted on the second X-axis transfer mechanism 612, and a rotation mechanism 614 mounted on the second Z-axis transfer mechanism 613. A finger cylinder 630 is fixed to the rotating end of the rotation mechanism 614. The second X-axis transfer mechanism 612 and the second Z-axis transfer mechanism 613 can both be linear modules, rodless cylinders, or telescopic cylinders. The rotation mechanism 614 can be a rotary cylinder or a motor. The second X-axis transfer mechanism 612, the second Z-axis transfer mechanism 613, and the rotation mechanism 614 drive the two clamping members 631 to move between the power tool positioning seat 300 and the conveying mechanism 620, so that the two clamping members 631 transfer the power tool 10 with the buckle 20 assembled in the power tool positioning seat 300 to the conveying mechanism 620.
[0076] Further, refer to Figure 11 The conveying mechanism 620 is primarily used to carry and transport the power tool 10 after the buckle 20 is assembled. For example, the conveying mechanism 620 can be an assembly line in the form of a belt or plate chain. When in operation, the conveying mechanism 620 drives the power tool 10 after the buckle 20 is assembled to continuously move forward.
[0077] Further, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 12The electric tool buckle automatic assembly equipment also includes a rotating device 700; the rotating device 700 includes a cam divider 710, a second motor 720 and a rotating table 730; the cam divider 710 and the second motor 720 are both fixed on the frame 100, the output shaft of the second motor 720 is fixedly connected to the input end of the cam divider 710, the center of the rotating table 730 is fixedly connected to the output end of the cam divider 710, and a plurality of electric tool positioning seats 300 are evenly distributed on the rotating table 730 in a ring; the second motor 720 drives the rotating table 730 to rotate intermittently through the cam divider 710, thereby driving the plurality of electric tool positioning seats 300 to rotate intermittently. Specifically, the placement slot of each power tool positioning seat 300 can position and place a power tool 10. For example, the rotating table 730 is surrounded by a first station, a second station, and a third station. When the rotating table 730 rotates intermittently, it is used to drive each power tool positioning seat 300 to move to the first station, the second station, and the third station in sequence. When the rotating table 730 drives one of the power tool positioning seats 300 to rotate to the first station, the power tool 10 to be assembled is placed in the placement slot of the power tool positioning seat 300 by manual or robotic means. Then, the rotating table 730 drives the power tool positioning seat 300 and the power tool 10 to be assembled thereon to rotate to the second station, and the buckle 20 is assembled to the connection position 13 of the power tool 10 at the second station through the buckle loading device 400. Then, the rotating table 730 drives the power tool positioning seat 300 and the power tool 10 with the assembled buckle 20 thereon to move to the third station, and the power tool 10 with the assembled buckle 20 is transplanted to the designated position through the product unloading device 600 to be output as a finished product. This process is repeated in sequence to improve work efficiency.
