They do not indicate or imply that the mechanisms or components referred to must have, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present invention. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used solely for descriptive purposes and do not have any special meanings.

[0046] Refer to the following Figures 1 to 6 The automatic packing production line provided by the utility model is described.

[0047] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The automatic boxing production line includes a chassis feeding mechanism (not shown in the figure), a parts boxing mechanism 1, a parts fixing mechanism 2, a flipping mechanism 4 and a conveying mechanism 3. The chassis feeding mechanism is located at the feeding end of the conveying mechanism 3. The chassis feeding mechanism, the parts boxing mechanism 1, the parts fixing mechanism 2 and the flipping mechanism 4 are arranged in sequence along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 3. The conveying mechanism 3 runs through the parts boxing mechanism 1 and the parts fixing mechanism 2. The flipping mechanism 4 is located at the discharging end of the conveying mechanism 3.

[0048] Exemplarily, the conveying mechanism 3 can be any conveying mechanism, such as a chain conveying mechanism, a belt conveying mechanism, or a chain plate conveying mechanism. In this embodiment, the conveying mechanism 3 is a belt conveying mechanism. The conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 3 is horizontal. A carrier for positioning the chassis 100 is connected to the conveying mechanism 3 to achieve stable conveyance of the chassis 100. The chassis feeding mechanism can transfer the chassis 100 to the conveying mechanism 3. Specifically, the chassis feeding mechanism in this embodiment is a three-axis module or a robot with a gripper. In this embodiment, a robot is used as an example.

[0049] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The parts packaging mechanism 1 includes a frame 11, a parts rack 12, a positioning detector 13, and a packaging robot 14. The frame 11 is capable of positioning and placing the chassis 100. The conveying mechanism 3 is connected to the frame 11. When the conveying mechanism 3 stops conveying the chassis 100, the chassis 100 is positioned on the frame 11, ready for loading parts into the chassis 100. The parts rack 12 is provided on one side of the frame 11 and is used to store parts to be assembled. In this embodiment, the parts to be assembled are PCBs (printed circuit boards) as an example.

[0050] Furthermore, a positioning detection member 13 is provided on the frame 11, and the packing robot 14 is capable of grabbing parts from the parts rack 12 and placing the parts in the detection area of ​​the positioning detection member 13. The positioning detection member 13 is capable of detecting the actual position of the parts in the detection area and detecting the deviation between the actual position and the preset position. The packing robot 14 is capable of compensating for the positional deviation of the parts and then inserting the parts into the interior of the chassis 100. The positioning detection member 13 in this embodiment is a detection camera, and the lens of the detection camera is set upward, that is, the detection area of ​​the detection camera in this embodiment is located directly above the detection camera. The packing robot 14 is any robot with a gripper in the prior art, and the detection camera is electrically connected to the controller of the packing robot 14.

[0051] It is understandable that since the position where the chassis 100 stops is fixed each time, and the position of the detection camera is also fixed, that is, the distance between the detection camera and the chassis 100 is fixed, by setting a preset position above the detection camera, the precise distance between the preset position and the mounting slot of the chassis 100 can be accurately calculated. When the packing robot 14 places the part at the same height above the detection camera each time, the current position of the part is visually detected by the detection camera, and the deviation between the actual position of the part and the preset position is calculated. Then, when the packing robot 14 drives the part to move, this deviation is compensated, so that the part is aligned with the position of the mounting slot before being inserted into the mounting slot, so that the part can be inserted into the interior of the mounting slot without damage.

[0052] In addition, the angle of the parts can be detected by the detection camera, and the signal can be transmitted to the packing robot 14 so that the packing robot 14 can fine-tune the angle of the parts so that the parts are parallel to the installation slot, further reducing damage during the installation of the parts.

[0053] It should be noted that, in some other embodiments, the positioning detection member 13 may also be a plurality of distance sensors arranged in a row in a vertical plane, so that the position deviation of the part can be calculated by detecting the distance between the plurality of distance sensors and the part.

[0054] In order to further improve production efficiency, multiple parts packing mechanisms 1 are provided along the conveying direction of the chassis 100. This embodiment takes two as an example, so that two chassis 100 can be installed at the same time to speed up the production line.

[0055] Furthermore, a transfer assembly 15 is provided on the frame 11. This assembly is capable of transferring components that cover the mounting slots of the chassis 100 to vacant mounting slots on the chassis 100. Transfer assembly 15 is a three-axis module with grippers. Its specific structure is conventional and will not be described here. Some chassis 100 may not require full assembly of components, leaving some mounting slots unused. In this case, transfer assembly 15 can be used to transfer components (e.g., covers) that cover the mounting slots to vacant slots, thereby forming a complete chassis 100.

[0056] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The part fixing mechanism 2 includes a fixing frame 21, a fixing assembly 22 and a feeding assembly (not shown in the figure). The fixing frame 21 is located on the downstream side of the part packing mechanism 1. The fixing assembly 22 can grab the locking piece and lock the locking piece to the chassis 100 and the parts. The feeding assembly is used to supply the locking piece to the fixing assembly 22. Optionally, the locking piece can be a screw, a bolt or other component. The locking piece in this embodiment takes a screw as an example. The feeding assembly is a vibration plate in the prior art. Its specific structure is the prior art and will not be described here. The fixing assembly 22 is a screw machine in the prior art. Its specific structure is the prior art and will not be described here. When the chassis 100 after the parts are inserted is transported to the fixing frame 21, the parts are screwed and fixed by the screw machine, thereby realizing the assembly of the chassis 100.

[0057] The automatic packing production line also includes an engraving mechanism 5, which is located on the downstream side of the part fixing mechanism 2. The conveying mechanism 3 is penetrated by the engraving mechanism 5. The engraving mechanism 5 can engrave the surface of the chassis 100. The engraving mechanism 5 in this embodiment is a laser engraving mechanism in the prior art. When the conveying mechanism 3 conveys the installed chassis 100 to the engraving mechanism 5, the surface of the chassis 100 is engraved with a code through the laser engraving mechanism. After scanning the code, the information of the chassis 100 can be identified, which is convenient for obtaining the information of the chassis 100 by scanning the code later.

[0058] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 The turning mechanism 4 includes a turning frame 41, a lifting seat 42, a clamping jaw 43, and a rotating member 44. The turning frame 41 is connected to the downstream side of the engraving mechanism 5. The lifting seat 42 is slidably mounted on the turning frame 41 and moves vertically. Two clamping jaws 43 are spaced apart on the lifting seat 42. The two clamping jaws 43 are arranged parallel or perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 3 and can move relative to each other and away from each other. A rotating member 44 is rotatably mounted on each side of the two clamping jaws 43, and the rotation axis of the rotating member 44 is parallel to the distribution direction of the two clamping jaws 43.

[0059] For example, a sliding seat 411 is provided on the flip frame 41 in this embodiment, and a lifting seat 42 is located at the bottom of the sliding seat 411. The sliding of the lifting seat 42 is driven by any driving member such as a screw, a cylinder, an oil cylinder or an electric cylinder. In this embodiment, the cylinder is taken as an example. The sliding of the lifting seat 42 is guided and limited by a guide rod connected to the top of the lifting seat 42 and slidingly passing through the sliding seat 411.

[0060] In this embodiment, the two clamping jaws 43 are arranged parallel to the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 3, that is, the rotation axis of the rotating member 44 is parallel to the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 3. The two clamping jaws 43 are slidably connected to the bottom of the lifting base 42. The sliding direction of the clamping jaws 43 is parallel to the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 3. The sliding of the clamping jaws 43 is driven by any drive element such as a lead screw, a pneumatic cylinder, an oil cylinder, or an electric cylinder. In this embodiment, a pneumatic cylinder is used as an example. The sliding of the clamping jaws 43 is guided and limited by linear guides. The rotation of the rotating member 44 is driven by a motor, hydraulic motor, or rotary cylinder mounted on the clamping jaws 43. In this embodiment, a motor is used as an example, and the motor is only mounted on one of the clamping jaws 43. In other embodiments, a motor is also provided on each clamping jaw 43.

[0061] When the chassis 100 with the completed engraving reaches the discharge end of the conveying mechanism 3, the two clamping jaws 43 approach each other to clamp the chassis 100, and the chassis 100 is turned over by the rotation of the rotating member 44, so that the opening direction of the chassis 100 is changed to meet the subsequent processing requirements. In this embodiment, the chassis 100 is rotated 90° around the axial direction of the rotating member 44 so that the upward opening of the chassis 100 faces the side.

[0062] Furthermore, the sliding seat 411 is slidably connected to the flip frame 41, and the sliding direction of the sliding seat 411 is parallel or perpendicular to the distribution direction of the two clamps 43. In this embodiment, the sliding direction of the sliding seat 411 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 3. The sliding of the sliding seat 411 is driven by any driving member such as a screw, cylinder, oil cylinder or electric cylinder. In this embodiment, it is driven by a screw and guided and limited by a linear guide rail, so that the chassis 100 can be separated from the conveying mechanism 3 by the sliding of the sliding seat 411, and the chassis 100 can be placed on subsequent equipment.

[0063] In addition, the bottom of the lifting base 42 is connected to a rotating base 421. The rotation axis of the rotating base 421 is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the rotating member 44. The rotation of the rotating member 44 is driven by a motor, hydraulic motor, or rotary cylinder mounted on the lifting base 42. In this embodiment, a motor is used as an example. In this embodiment, the rotation axis of the rotating base 421 is vertically arranged, and the clamping claw 43 is slidably connected to the bottom of the rotating base 421. The rotation of the rotating base 421 can cause the chassis 100 to rotate about the vertical axis, thereby further improving the adaptability of the flip mechanism 4 and compatibility with a wider range of devices.

[0064] Obviously, the above-described embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the manner in which the present invention is to be implemented. A person skilled in the art would be able to make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
