Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated processing technology, and in particular to an integrated feeding and assembly mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of information electronics, mobile phones are one of the most important terminal products, possessing an extremely broad market. Therefore, mobile phone manufacturing is also one of the most crucial manufacturing sectors within the information electronics industry. After the various components of a mobile phone are manufactured, they need to be assembled into a complete product. This assembly is a vital step in the mobile phone manufacturing process. Depending on the design of different models, core components such as PCBAs, camera modules, and screens are assembled into a single, integrated unit. Furthermore, this principle applies not only to mobile phone assembly but also to the assembly of other 3C handheld products.
[0003] To improve processing efficiency, existing product assembly mechanisms typically have mounting mechanisms installed on both sides of the feeding mechanism, facing the track of the feeding mechanism. After the product substrate is delivered to the mounting mechanism, the track will stop working and the mounting mechanism will quickly assemble it. However, in this processing feeding method, the position of the substrate is not stable enough and the installation accuracy is somewhat lacking. Utility Model Content
[0004] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a feeding and assembly integrated mechanism, which aims to improve the feeding efficiency and assembly accuracy of the mechanism.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a feeding and assembly integrated mechanism, including a base for mounting the integrated mechanism. The base is provided with a limiting rail. A counting sensor is provided at the end of the limiting rail along the transmission direction perpendicular to the limiting rail. At least two clearance grooves are symmetrically opened on one side of the limiting rail along the central axis. A first positioning sensor is provided on both sides of the limiting rail opposite to the clearance grooves. A locking structure is provided on the other side of the clearance groove facing the limiting rail. A buffer part is provided at the end of the locking structure opposite to the limiting rail. The width of the buffer part gradually decreases along the direction close to the transmission rail.
[0006] In one embodiment of this application, at least two sets of limiting rails are provided in parallel, a shifting rail is provided along the central axis of the limiting rails, a shifting mechanism is provided below the shifting rails along the transmission direction perpendicular to the limiting rails, and a second positioning sensor is provided at the end of the shifting rails relative to the limiting rails.
[0007] In one embodiment of this application, the shifting mechanism includes a shifting guide rail and a driving structure. The shifting guide rail passes through the bottom edge of the shifting track, extends out of the shifting track, and extends in a direction away from the limiting track. The shifting track is driven and connected to the shifting guide rail by the driving structure.
[0008] In one embodiment of this application, the shifting guide rail is provided with an NG section away from the limiting rail, and an NG rail is provided on one side of the limiting rail facing the NG section, the NG rail being connected to one end of the shifting rail.
[0009] In one embodiment of this application, the limiting track is provided with a loading section and a unloading section relative to the reversing track. One end of the reversing track is connected to the loading section and the other end is connected to the unloading section. The loading section is provided with at least two clearance grooves symmetrically along the central axis, and the unloading section is provided with at least two clearance grooves symmetrically along the central axis.
[0010] In one embodiment of this application, the two sets of clearance grooves include a processing station and a testing station. The processing station is arranged facing the reversing track, and a pressure testing mechanism is provided above the processing station relative to the limiting track.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, this utility model has the following advantages:
[0012] 1. The base facilitates the installation of the integrated mechanism, while the limiting rail can be equipped with guide rails inside to quickly transport the product base, thereby improving processing efficiency. A locking structure can be slidably connected in the clearance groove on one side of the limiting rail. The locking structure is set according to the processing structure. When the base is transported through the guide rail, the locking structure will clamp the base when it reaches the clearance groove, making it easy to install the processing structure and preventing the base from shifting. At least two clearance grooves are provided so that the limiting rail can correspond to at least two processing stations. This structure can effectively improve assembly accuracy, and connecting multiple processing structures at the same time can effectively improve processing efficiency.
[0013] 2. A counting sensor is provided at the end of the limiting track, and positioning sensors are provided on both sides of the clearance groove. The structures of the two sets of sensors can be similar, such as infrared sensors and ultrasonic sensors, which can both achieve the function. The infrared sensor can be set with a generator on one side of the limiting track and a receiver on the other side. Positioning or counting can be performed by the number of disconnections. The working principle of the ultrasonic sensor is similar to that of the infrared sensor. With the help of the sensors, the control system and related external mechanisms configured in the integrated mechanism can accurately determine the position, state and quantity of the base, which can effectively improve the control accuracy, improve the quality of the processed product, and reduce the defect rate.
[0014] 3. The locking structure has a buffer part at the end facing the limiting track. The buffer part can make the base gradually clamp the base and the locking structure during the process of the base being transported toward the locking structure, so as to avoid the base of the mobile phone to be installed from colliding with the locking structure and causing damage. This structure can improve processing efficiency while avoiding damage to the product itself. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The realization of the purpose, functional features and advantages of this utility model will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation
[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.
[0023] Reference Figures 1 to 3To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a feeding and assembly integrated mechanism, including a base 1 for mounting the integrated mechanism. A limiting track 2 is provided on the base 1. A counting sensor is provided at the end of the limiting track 2 along the transmission direction perpendicular to the limiting track 2. At least two clearance grooves 21 are symmetrically opened on one side of the limiting track 2 along the central axis. A first positioning sensor is provided on both sides of the limiting track 2 opposite to the clearance grooves 21. A locking structure 3 is provided on the other side of the clearance grooves 21 facing the limiting track 2. A buffer part is provided at the end of the locking structure 3 opposite to the limiting track 2. The width of the buffer part gradually decreases along the direction close to the transmission track.
[0024] The base 1 facilitates the installation of the integrated mechanism. In this application, the product base includes mobile phones, PCBs, cameras, children's cameras, and most 3C handheld products to be assembled. The limiting rail 2 can quickly transport the product base by setting guide rails inside, thereby improving processing efficiency. A locking structure 3 can be slidably connected in the clearance groove 21 opened on one side of the limiting rail 2. The locking structure 3 is set according to the processing structure. When the base is transported through the guide rail, the locking structure 3 will clamp the base when the base reaches the clearance groove 21, so that the processing structure can be installed easily and the base will not be offset. At least two clearance grooves 21 are set so that the limiting rail can be set with at least two processing stations 22. This structure can effectively improve the assembly accuracy, and connecting multiple processing structures at the same time can effectively improve the processing efficiency.
[0025] A counting sensor is provided at the end of the limiting track 2, and positioning sensors are provided on both sides of the clearance groove 21. The structures of the two sets of sensors can be similar, such as infrared sensors and ultrasonic sensors, which can both achieve the function. The infrared sensor can be set with a generator on one side of the limiting track 2 and a receiver on the other side. Positioning or counting can be performed by the number of disconnections. The working principle of the ultrasonic sensor is similar to that of the infrared sensor. With the help of the sensors, the control system and related external mechanisms configured in the integrated mechanism can accurately determine the position, state and quantity of the base, which can effectively improve the control accuracy and improve the quality of the processed products, so as to reduce the defect rate.
[0026] The locking structure 3 has a buffer part at the end facing the limiting track 2. The buffer part can make the base gradually clamp the base and the locking structure 3 during the process of the base being transported toward the locking structure 3, so as to avoid the base of the mobile phone to be installed from colliding with the locking structure 3 and causing damage. This structure can improve processing efficiency while avoiding damage to the product itself.
[0027] See also Figures 1 to 2In one embodiment of this application, at least two sets of limiting rails 2 are provided in parallel. A shifting rail 4 is provided along the central axis of the limiting rails 2. A shifting mechanism 41 is provided below the shifting rail 4 along the transmission direction perpendicular to the limiting rails 2. A second positioning sensor is provided at the end of the shifting rail 4 relative to the limiting rails 2.
[0028] Two sets of limit rails 2 are arranged in parallel, with one set serving as a backup. This avoids the risk of machine downtime due to failure of one set of limit rails 2. The simultaneous operation of both sets of limit rails 2 can also effectively improve processing efficiency. The shifting rail 4 is located in the middle section of the limit rails 2. The shifting mechanism 41 can assist in shifting the product substrate on one set of limit rails 2 to the other set of limit rails 2 with the help of cylinders, pull rods, guide rails, motors, and other structures. This can effectively prevent machine downtime caused by damage to one section of limit rails 2. The limit rails 2 are divided into two sections by the shifting rail 4. Two clearance grooves 21 can be respectively set on one section of limit rails 2. This structure can effectively improve the processing efficiency and processing quality of the products.
[0029] The inner sides of the ends of the limiting track 2 and the shifting track 4 are provided with clearance portions. The width of the clearance portions gradually increases along the direction away from the corresponding track. The clearance portions can protect the product and prevent damage to the product itself when the limiting track 2 and the shifting track 4 are not fully aligned.
[0030] See also Figure 1 In one embodiment of this application, the shifting mechanism 41 includes a shifting guide rail 42 and a driving structure. The shifting guide rail 42 passes through the bottom edge of the shifting track 4, extends out of the shifting track 4, and extends in a direction away from the limiting track 2. The shifting track 4 is driven and connected to the shifting guide rail 42 by the driving structure.
[0031] The drive structure includes a cylinder and a motor structure. The drive structure drives the lead screw and pull rod to make the shifting track 4 freely shift on the shifting guide rail 42. The shifting mechanism 41 can help the product base to be processed in a staggered manner on the two limiting tracks 2, making the processing process more flexible.
[0032] See also Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment of this application, the shift guide rail 42 is provided with an NG part away from the limiting rail 2, and an NG rail 5 is provided on one side of the limiting rail 2 facing the NG part. The NG rail 5 is connected to one end of the shift guide rail 4.
[0033] The length of the transposition guide rail 42 is longer than the maximum width of the transposition track 4. The part that exceeds the transposition track 4 is provided with an NG section. When the limiting track 2 near the NG track 5 needs to discharge NG products, the substrate can be placed on the transposition track 4, and the transposition track 4 can be transposed to the NG track 5 to achieve the effect of quickly unloading NG products, which can effectively improve assembly accuracy. When the limiting track 2 on the side away from the NG track 5 needs to be unloaded, the product can be transposed to the limiting track 2 on the side closer to the NG track 5 first, and then the transposition guide rail 42 can be used to dock with the NG track 5 for unloading, which can effectively improve product quality. Moreover, the product processing flow is not affected during transposition, which can effectively improve processing efficiency.
[0034] See also Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment of this application, the limiting track 2 is provided with a loading section and a unloading section relative to the reversing track. One end of the reversing track is connected to the loading section and the other end is connected to the unloading section. The loading section is provided with at least two relief grooves 21 symmetrically along the central axis, and the unloading section is provided with at least two relief grooves 21 symmetrically along the central axis.
[0035] The limiting track 2 is divided into two parts by the switching track 4. One part is the loading section and the other part is the unloading section. The positions of the loading section and the unloading section are not fixed. When the two are swapped, only the transmission direction of the limiting track 2 needs to be changed to work normally. The loading section and the unloading section are each equipped with at least two clearance grooves 21, which can optimize processing efficiency and can also be configured with a test structure to improve product quality.
[0036] See also Figures 1 to 2 In one embodiment of this application, the two sets of clearance grooves 21 include a processing station 22 and a testing station 23. The processing station 22 is arranged facing the reversing track, and a pressure testing mechanism is provided above the processing station 22 relative to the limiting track 2.
[0037] The clearance groove 21 can be set with a processing station 22 and a testing station 23. The processing flow of the processing station 22 depends on the processing structure connected to the station. The testing station 23 can be connected to a pressure testing mechanism or an electrical testing mechanism. The testing station 23 is set near the end of the limit rail 2. Firstly, the condition of the substrate can be checked after the substrate is loaded. Secondly, the condition after the substrate is processed can be checked. This can effectively improve product quality without affecting processing efficiency and prevent defective products from entering the market.
