[0024] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] like Figure 1-6As shown, an automatic assembly equipment for lamp housing tooling includes a fixed plate 1. Two support frames 11 are fixedly connected to the top of the fixed plate 1. The support frame 11 on the left side is higher than the support frame 11 on the right side. Two support plates 2 are fixedly connected to the top of the fixed plate 1. The two support plates 2 are located at the center of the two support frames 11. A fixed frame 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed plate 1. A fixing component 21 is provided on the top of the two support plates 2. A clamping component 31 is provided on the top of the fixed frame 3.

[0027] Specifically, in order to achieve the goal of fixing and assembling lamp housings of various sizes, please refer to... Figure 2 In this embodiment, the fixing component 21 includes a bidirectional threaded rod 22. The front and back outer surfaces of the bidirectional threaded rod 22 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the support plate 2 on the same side. A motor 23 is fixedly connected to the front of the support plate 2, and the output end of the motor 23 is fixedly connected to the front of the bidirectional threaded rod 22.

[0028] Further reading Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, the two support plates 2 are fixedly connected to a fixed rod 24 at their close ends. The outer surface of the bidirectional threaded rod 22 is threaded with two movable frames 25. The bottom of each of the two movable frames 25 is provided with a circular groove. The inner wall of each of the two circular grooves is slidably connected to the outer surface of the fixed rod 24. The top of the two support plates 2 is fixedly connected to a connecting frame 26.

[0029] During implementation, when the lamp housing needs to be assembled, the two ends of the lamp housing are first placed on the top of the two support frames 11 respectively. The motor 23 is turned on to drive the bidirectional threaded rod 22 to rotate. As the bidirectional threaded rod 22 rotates, it will drive the two movable frames 25 to move closer to each other. During the movement of the movable frame 25, the inner wall of the circular groove at the bottom will slide on the outer surface of the fixed rod 24, so that the movable frame 25 will not rotate with the rotation of the bidirectional threaded rod 22, thus increasing the stability of the movable frame 25 when it moves.

[0030] Further reading Figure 3In this embodiment, the two movable frames 25 are symmetrically arranged with the center of the connecting frame 26. Two circular grooves are formed inside the two movable frames 25. Sliding rods 251 are slidably connected to the inner walls of the two circular grooves. The ends of the two sliding rods 251 near the center of the connecting frame 26 are fixedly connected to a clamping plate 252. Springs 253 are sleeved on the outer surfaces of the two clamping plates 252. The ends of the two springs 253 near the center of the connecting frame 26 are fixedly connected to the ends of the clamping plates 252 away from the center of the connecting frame 26. The ends of the two springs 253 away from the center of the connecting frame 26 are fixedly connected to the ends of the movable frames 25 near the center of the connecting frame 26.

[0031] During implementation, as the moving frame 25 continues to move, the clamping plate 252 first contacts the surface of the housing. After the clamping plate 252 contacts the surface of the housing, it pushes the two sliding rods 251 to slide within the inner wall of the moving frame 25. During the sliding process, the sliding rods 251 compress the spring 253, causing it to deform. The deformed spring 253 generates elastic force, causing the clamping plate 252 to adhere tightly to the surface of the housing and fix the housing. This allows the device to fix and assemble lamp housings of various sizes. Not only can it improve the production efficiency of the device without frequent equipment changes or production line adjustments during the production switching of different products, but its flexibility also enables enterprises to better meet the personalized needs of customers, expand market share, and improve the competitiveness of enterprises.

[0032] Example 2

[0033] This embodiment adds a clamping component based on Embodiment 1. (See attached document.) Figure 4 In this embodiment, the clamping assembly 31 includes a hydraulic cylinder 32, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed frame 3, and a telescopic rod 33 is fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 32. A connecting plate 34 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the telescopic rod 33.

[0034] During implementation, after the lamp housing is fixed, the lamp cover is fixed to the lamp housing with glue. Then, the hydraulic cylinder 32 is opened to drive the telescopic rod 33 to extend downward. As the telescopic rod 33 extends downward, it will drive the connecting plate 34 to move downward. During the downward movement of the connecting plate 34, it can drive the clamping frame 35 to move downward to squeeze the housing and the lamp cover.

[0035] See Figure 5 and Figure 6 The inner wall of the connecting plate 34 is rotatably connected to a bidirectional threaded rod 341, and the left end of the bidirectional threaded rod 341 is fixedly connected to a handle 342. The outer surface of the bidirectional threaded rod 341 is threaded with two inserts 343.

[0036] Meanwhile, two insert blocks 343 are each inserted into the outer surface of their bottom with a locking block 352. The bottom of the two locking blocks 352 is fixedly connected to a clamping frame 35. The top of the clamping frame 35 is fixedly connected to a number of limiting blocks 351. The tops of the limiting blocks 351 are in contact with the bottom of the connecting plate 34.

[0037] During implementation, when multiple types of lamp housings need to be extruded, the handle 342 is first rotated counterclockwise. As the handle 342 rotates, it drives the bidirectional threaded rod 341 to rotate within the inner wall of the connecting plate 34. As the bidirectional threaded rod 341 rotates, it drives the two insert blocks 343 to move closer to each other. During the movement of the insert blocks 343, they leave the slots inside the locking block 352, thus releasing the locking block 352 from its restriction. This allows the clamping frame 35 to be removed and replaced with a clamping frame 35 that fits the lamp housing. This not only ensures that the extrusion block fits the shape of the lamp housing perfectly, thus providing more precise fixing and positioning during assembly, but also allows for the rapid development of corresponding extrusion blocks based on the characteristics of new lamp housings, enabling existing equipment to continue to be used and reducing the cost and time of equipment upgrades.

[0038] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When assembling the lamp housing, firstly, place both ends of the lamp housing on top of the two support frames 11 respectively. Turn on the motor 23 to drive the bidirectional threaded rod 22 to rotate. As the bidirectional threaded rod 22 rotates, it will drive the two movable frames 25 to move closer to each other. During the movement of the movable frame 25, the inner wall of the circular groove at its bottom will slide on the outer surface of the fixed rod 24, so that the movable frame 25 will not rotate with the rotation of the bidirectional threaded rod 22, thus increasing the stability of the movable frame 25 during movement. As the movable frame 25 continues to move... The clamping plate 252 first contacts the surface of the housing. After contact, the clamping plate 252 pushes the two sliding rods 251 to slide within the inner wall of the moving frame 25. During the sliding process, the sliding rods 251 compress the spring 253, causing it to deform. The deformed spring 253 generates elastic force, causing the clamping plate 252 to adhere tightly to the housing surface and fix the housing. This allows the device to fix and assemble lamp housings of various sizes. It not only eliminates the need for frequent equipment changes or production line adjustments during production switching between different products, improving the device's production efficiency, but also offers good flexibility. To better meet customers' personalized needs, expand market share, and enhance competitiveness, enterprises can use adhesive to fix the lampshade to the lamp housing after the housing is fixed. Then, hydraulic cylinder 32 is opened to extend the telescopic rod 33 downwards. Simultaneously, the telescopic rod 33 moves the connecting plate 34 downwards. This downward movement of the connecting plate 34 causes the clamping frame 35 to move downwards, pressing the housing against the lampshade. When pressing multiple types of lamp housings, the handle 342 is first rotated counterclockwise. This rotation of the handle 342 causes the bidirectional threaded rod 341 to engage with the connecting plate. As the inner wall of the 34 rotates, the two-way threaded rod 341 rotates, which in turn drives the two insert blocks 343 to move closer to each other. During the movement of the insert blocks 343, they will leave the slots opened inside the locking block 352, thus releasing the locking block 352 from its restriction. This allows the clamping frame 35 to be removed and replaced with a clamping frame 35 that is suitable for assembling the lamp housing. This not only ensures that the shape of the extrusion block is completely fitted to the shape of the lamp housing, thereby providing more precise fixing and positioning during the assembly process, but also allows for the rapid development of corresponding extrusion blocks based on the characteristics of the new lamp housing, enabling the existing equipment to continue to be used and reducing the cost and time of equipment replacement.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims.
