[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a trophy sorting and assembly device includes a sorting mechanism 1, an assembly mechanism 2, and a conveyor line 3. The conveyor line 3 is used to convey a pallet 31. The conveyor line 3 is a double-layer double-speed chain conveyor with a lifting structure at both ends to achieve circular conveyance of the pallet 31. The pallet 31 is loaded with workpieces for assembling trophies. The sorting mechanism 1 is located at the end of the conveyor line 3 and is used to sort the workpieces. It includes a sorting robot 11 and a sorting conveyor belt 12. The sorting robot 11 is a parallel robot and is located at the upper end of a steel frame 13. The steel frame 13 is straddled at the end of the conveyor line 3. The end of the sorting robot 11 is equipped with an inspection camera and an end suction cup tool 1. The inspection camera performs visual recognition of the workpiece on the tray 31 moved below the sorting robot 11, including identifying the workpiece's shape, position, color, and other characteristics. The end suction cup tool 1 picks up the trophy body workpiece based on the inspection camera's recognition results and sends it to the sorting conveyor belt 12. The sorting conveyor belt 12 is located at the bottom of the steel frame 13 and is arranged parallel to the conveyor line 3 for conveying the sorted trophy body workpiece. The assembly mechanism 2 is located downstream of the sorting mechanism 1 and is used to assemble the trophy products. The utility model realizes automated loading and unloading through the coordination of the tray and the conveyor line, thereby improving production efficiency. The workpieces to be assembled are automatically sorted by the sorting mechanism before assembly, which reduces the difficulty of trophy assembly, ensures production efficiency, solves the problems caused by manual sorting, and realizes the automated production of multiple varieties and small batches of trophies.

[0027] In the above structure, if Figure 1 、 2As shown, a guide assembly 14 is provided at the end of the sorting conveyor belt 12. The guide assembly 14 includes two guide plates 141 arranged opposite to each other. Along the conveying direction of the sorting conveyor belt 12, the inlet ends of the two guide plates 141 are provided with guide openings from large to small. The ends of the two guide plates 141 are provided with baffles 142. The baffles 142 prevent the workpiece from stopping and waiting for the loading and unloading components of the assembly mechanism 2 to pick it up.

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, the guide assembly 14 also includes a push plate 143 and a push plate cylinder 144. One of the guide plates 141 has a notch at its end. Outside this notch, a push plate cylinder 144 is mounted on the belt frame of the sorting conveyor 12. The push plate 143 is connected to the output end of the push plate cylinder 144 and can be inserted into the notch to correct the workpiece position. If the outer surface of the trophy workpiece is irregularly shaped, the guide plates are insufficient to guide the workpiece. Instead, the push plates press the workpiece against the side of the other guide plate, ensuring that each trophy workpiece is positioned consistently during removal.

[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, to facilitate material removal by the loading and unloading assembly 23, a suction assembly 15 is positioned above the guiding assembly 14. This suction assembly 15 comprises a bracket 151, a lifting cylinder 152, and a lifting plate 153. The bracket 151 is a gantry-shaped frame that spans the sorting conveyor belt 12. The lifting cylinder 152 is fixed to the top of the bracket 151. Its output end is equipped with a lifting plate 153, which has suction cups at both ends. If it is inconvenient to remove the trophy body directly from the sorting conveyor belt 12, the suction assembly 15 will lift the trophy body directly below it before the loading and unloading assembly 23 removes it, facilitating its removal. Furthermore, a speed measurement assembly is positioned above the sorting conveyor belt. The speed measurement assembly comprises a roller and an encoder. The roller is pressed against the belt of the sorting conveyor belt. During operation, the roller rotates, and the encoder is connected to the pressure wheel to detect the conveying speed of the sorting conveyor belt. This allows for closed-loop control through encoder feedback, facilitating collaborative operation with the sorting robot 11.

[0031] Based on the structure of Example 1, Figure 1 、 3 -4, the assembly mechanism 2 includes an assembly component 1 21, an assembly component 2 22, and a loading and unloading component 23. The assembly component 1 21 and the assembly component 2 22 are arranged in parallel, and the assembly component 1 21 is used to assemble the base workpiece, and the assembly component 2 22 is used to assemble the trophy product. The loading and unloading component 23 is arranged in the middle position on one side of the assembly component 1 21 and the assembly component 2 22, and includes a robot 231 and an end tool arranged at the output end of the robot 231, and the end tool is used to pick up the workpiece for loading and unloading.

[0032] In the above structure, if Figure 3 As shown, the assembly component 21 includes an assembly table 211 and a robot arm 212 and a screw machine 213 arranged on the assembly table 211. A screwing tool is provided at the end of the robot arm 211, and the screwing tool picks up screws from the screw machine 213 and screws the base workpiece; the screw machine 213 is arranged on one side of the robot arm 212, and is used to store and provide screws in an orderly manner. The assembly table 211 is also provided with a positioning member 214 located below the robot arm 212, and the positioning member 214 is used to position the base workpiece.

[0033] like Figure 4 As shown, the second assembly component 22 includes a second assembly platform 221 and a second robot arm 222 provided on the second assembly platform 221, and a drying component. The end of the second robot arm 221 is provided with a glue gun tool, and the glue gun tool is used for gluing and assembling the trophy main workpiece and the base workpiece; the second assembly platform 221 is also provided with a second positioning member 225 located below the second robot arm 222, and the second positioning member 225 is also used to position the base workpiece. The drying component includes a dryer 223 and a drying cover 224. The dryer 223 is provided on the second robot arm 222 and is arranged opposite to the workpiece on the second positioning member 225. The drying cover 224 is a U-shaped cover, which surrounds the outside of the second positioning member 225, and the open end of the drying cover 224 is opposite to the air outlet of the dryer 223.

[0034] Among them, the robot arm is a SCARA robot, a robot arm used in assembly operations and suitable for plane positioning.

[0035] In addition, if Figure 4 As shown, a drying hood 224 is also connected to the output end of a lifting cylinder 226 located within the second assembly platform 221. During drying, the drying hood 224 rises and, together with the dryer 223, forms a drying chamber that surrounds the workpiece on the second positioning member 225 and the air outlet of the dryer 223. An exhaust port is also provided on the end of the drying hood 224 facing away from the dryer 223. The drying assembly is used to accelerate the drying of the glue coating inside the trophy base workpiece, speeding up the glue coating assembly process, facilitating subsequent boxing, and improving production efficiency. The second assembly platform 221 also features a temporary storage seat 227 for the base workpiece and the trophy.

[0036] like Figure 1As shown, a quick-change tool station 232 is also installed on one side of the robot 231. This station is equipped with at least two end tools, one of which is a dual-end tool, and the other is a suction cup tool 2 for picking up the trophy's main workpiece. The dual-end tool includes an end gripper tool and a suction cup tool 3. The end gripper tool is used to grip the base workpiece, while the suction cup tool 3 is used to pick up the trophy's base connector and LED light-emitting device. Specifically, the robot is equipped with two common terminals: Common Terminal 1, a dual-end tool, with End Tool 1 being the end gripper tool and End Tool 2 being the suction cup tool 3; Common Terminal 2, a suction cup tool 2, ensures full utilization of the equipment.

[0037] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: the tray 31 runs along the conveyor line 3, enters the sorting position of the sorting robot 11, stops for positioning, and the detection camera visually identifies the workpiece on the tray and transmits the identification result to the sorting robot 11; in conjunction with the feedback of the test component of the sorting conveyor belt 12, the trophy main workpiece is picked up by the sorting robot 11 and sent to the sorting conveyor belt 12, and is transported to the end of the sorting conveyor belt 12 by the sorting conveyor belt 12, and the position is corrected by the guide component 14; then, the tray 31 continues to run and stops at the end of the conveyor line 3 to prepare for the assembly process.

[0038] Then, the end gripper tool at the common end of robot No. 1 picks up the base workpiece on the tray and moves it to the positioning part 214 of the assembly table 211; the positioning part 214 moves to clamp and position the base workpiece, and the end tool of robot 231 rotates to the end suction cup tool three, sucks the LED light-emitting device on the tray 31 and places it in the trophy base; the robot 231 sucks the base connecting piece on the tray 31 again and places it on the LED light-emitting device; the robot arm 212 moves to tighten the screws on the base and the base connecting piece to complete the base assembly. After the base is assembled, positioning piece 1 214 is released, and the robot 231 rotates to the end gripper tool, unloads the trophy base workpiece, and picks up the trophy base workpiece to the positioning piece 2 225 of the assembly table 2 221. Positioning piece 225 moves to clamp and position the base workpiece, and the robot arm 2 222 moves. The end glue gun tool completes the internal gluing operation of the base. The robot 231 goes to the quick-change tool station to replace the end tool with the No. 2 common end, picks up the trophy body workpiece and installs it into the base workpiece; the drying component is started to speed up the completion of the gluing assembly operation. Then the robot goes to the quick-change tool station to replace the end tool with the No. 1 common end, rotates to the end gripper tool, and positioning piece 2 225 is released to pick up the workpiece after unloading, gluing and assembly (that is, the assembled trophy). The pallet 31 is lifted by the elevator at the end of the conveyor line 3 and runs from the upper layer of the conveyor line to the lower layer, forming a circular conveying of the pallet.
