Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic product assembly equipment technology, and in particular to a product flipping assembly and locking device for a top cover. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the assembly of electronic products requires a bottom case and a top cover to enclose the circuit board as a protective shell. After the circuit board and bottom case are assembled, the top cover and circuit board need to be assembled. After assembly, the top cover and bottom case are then fastened together to enclose the circuit board within the bottom case and top cover. However, the assembly of the product and top cover is done manually. This manual assembly method suffers from low assembly efficiency, and the fact that operators can only visually align the screws and screw holes makes it impossible to ensure that the screws and screw holes are perfectly aligned. This can lead to angular misalignment, resulting in misaligned screws, poor product consistency, and consequently, poor product quality. Utility Model Content

[0029] Before describing the embodiments of this utility model in detail, the application environment of this utility model will be described first. The technology of this utility model is mainly applied in the field of electronic product assembly equipment technology. This utility model is used to solve the problems of low assembly efficiency and poor product consistency caused by the existing manual assembly method of electronic products and their covers, resulting in poor product quality.

[0030] Please combine Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model provides a product flipping assembly to the top cover and a locking device.

[0031] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, the product flipping assembly to the cover and locking device includes: a frame 1; a first conveying mechanism 2, disposed on the frame 1, for transporting a tray 201 loaded with products, the first conveying mechanism 2 having a flipping station; a flipping mechanism 3, disposed on the frame 1, for flipping the product located at the flipping station; a second conveying mechanism 4, disposed on the frame 1 and located on one side of the first conveying mechanism 2 along the width direction, the second conveying mechanism 4 having an assembly station and a locking station sequentially along the transmission direction, the second conveying mechanism 4 for transferring a carrier 401 loaded with the cover; a transfer and extraction assembly mechanism, disposed on the frame 1, for extracting the product at the flipping station and transferring it to the assembly station for assembly with the cover; and a locking mechanism 7, disposed on the frame 1, for locking the product located at the locking station to the cover.

[0032] In this embodiment, the present application uses a first conveying mechanism 2 to transport a tray 201 containing products to a flipping station. A flipping mechanism 3 flips the products on the tray 201 so that the circuit board faces down and the bottom shell faces up. A transfer and assembly mechanism extracts and transfers the flipped products from the first conveying mechanism 2 to the assembly station, where the products are assembled with the top cover. A second conveying mechanism 4 transfers the assembled products and top cover from the assembly station to a locking station, where a locking mechanism 7 locks the products and top cover together. By setting up the first conveying mechanism 2, flipping mechanism 3, transfer and assembly mechanism 4, and locking mechanism 7, the present application achieves automatic product transfer, automatic flipping, automatic assembly, and automatic locking, effectively improving production efficiency. Furthermore, the automatic assembly and locking effectively improve product consistency, thereby significantly improving product quality.

[0033] It is worth noting that the first conveying mechanism 2 and the second conveying mechanism 4 are both motor-driven chain conveying devices. The first conveying mechanism 2 and the second conveying mechanism 4 are distributed along the width direction of the support 901. The flipping mechanism 3 is used to flip the product 180°.

[0034] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, the flipping mechanism 3 includes a walking component 301, a lifting component 302, a flipping drive component 303, and a clamping component 304. The walking component 301 is disposed on the frame 1. The lifting component 302 is connected to the walking component 301. The walking component 301 is used to drive the lifting component 302 to move along the length direction of the frame 1. The flipping drive component 303 is connected to the lifting component 302. The clamping component 304 is connected to the flipping drive component 303. The lifting component 302 is used to drive the flipping drive component 303 to move along the height direction of the frame 1. The clamping component 304 is used to clamp the product on the tray 201. The flipping drive component 303 is used to drive the clamping component 304 to flip.

[0035] In this embodiment, the position of the tray 201 on the first conveying mechanism 2 and the position of the transfer platform 8 are offset along the length of the frame 1. Therefore, it is necessary to transfer the products on the tray 201 to the transfer platform 8. In this embodiment, the transfer of products from the tray 201 to the transfer platform 8 is achieved by setting a traveling component 301. The traveling component 301 is a motor-driven screw drive device. The traveling component 301 is used to drive the lifting component 302 to move along the length of the frame 1. The lifting component 302 is also a motor-driven screw drive device. Since the height of the transfer platform 8 on the frame 1 is higher than that of the tray 201, the lifting component 302 is set to realize the transfer of products from the tray 201 to the transfer platform 8. The product is transferred by the lifting component 302 driving the flipping drive component 303 to move along the height direction of the frame 1, so that the clamping component 304 can clamp the product on the tray 201 and transfer it to the transfer platform 8. The clamping component 304 is a gripper cylinder, and the flipping drive component 303 is a servo motor. The flipping drive component 303 drives the clamping component 304 to flip, so that the product clamped on the clamping component 304 is flipped so that the circuit board of the product is facing down and the bottom shell is facing up. The transfer and extraction assembly module 6 extracts the product from the transfer platform 8 and transfers it to the assembly station, and assembles it with the upper cover of the assembly station, so that the upper cover and the bottom shell wrap the circuit board, forming a protective shell for the circuit board.

[0036] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, the flipping station is provided with a transfer platform 8, which is disposed on the frame 1 and located above the first conveying mechanism 2. The transfer platform 8 is used to store the flipped products.

[0037] In this embodiment, the four corners of the transfer platform 8 are provided with support parts that protrude from the platform surface. The support parts support the edge parts of the circuit board, preventing the parts on the circuit board where electronic components are located from contacting the transfer platform 8, thereby avoiding damage to the electronic components on the circuit board.

[0038] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, the transfer and assembly mechanism includes an extraction and transfer module 5 and an extraction and assembly module 6. The extraction and assembly module 6 is used to extract the product from the transfer platform 8 and assemble it with the top cover of the assembly station. The extraction and transfer module 5 is used to move the extraction and assembly module 6.

[0039] In this embodiment, the transfer module 5 is extracted as a robotic arm module.

[0040] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, the extraction assembly module 6 includes a first vision module 601 and an extraction component 602. The first vision module 601 is used to identify the extraction position of the product on the transfer platform 8 and the assembly position of the product and the top cover on the assembly station. The extraction component 602 is used to grab the product or release the product.

[0041] In this embodiment, the first vision module 601 is a CCD camera. The first vision module 601 identifies the position of the product on the transfer platform 8, thereby controlling the extraction and transfer module 5 to drive the extraction component 602 to accurately extract the product on the transfer platform 8. Furthermore, the first vision module 601 identifies the position of the top cover of the assembly station, thereby controlling the extraction and transfer module 5 to drive the extraction component 602 to accurately assemble the product with the top cover.

[0042] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, the extraction component 602 includes a suction cup 602a, a gripping arm 602b, and a dual-outlet cylinder 602c. The gripping arm 602b is connected to the telescopic rod of the dual-outlet cylinder 602c. The dual-outlet cylinder 602c is used to drive the gripping arms 602b to move closer or further apart. The suction cup 602a is used to adsorb the product. The gripping arm 602b is provided with a locking block 602d, which is used to engage with the product.

[0043] In this embodiment, the gripper arm 602b is driven to open and close by the dual-outlet cylinder 602c, thereby gripping and releasing the product. Combined with the suction cup 602a adsorbing the product, it ensures that the product can be stably transferred from the transfer platform 8 to the assembly station without falling off. The gripper arm 602b is provided with a locking block 602d with a locking groove. The locking block 602d engages with the edge of the product through the locking groove, further preventing the risk of the product falling off the extraction component 602.

[0044] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, the locking mechanism 7 includes a locking transfer module 701, a locking module 702, and a second vision module 703. The second vision module 703 is used to identify the locking holes of the product and the cover. The locking module 702 is used to screw the product and the cover together. The locking transfer module 701 is used to drive the locking module 702 to move.

[0045] In this embodiment, the locking and transfer module 701 is a robotic arm module, the locking module 702 is a self-locking screw machine, and the second vision module 703 is a CCD camera. The second vision module 703 identifies the locking holes of the product and the top cover, enabling the locking module 702 to accurately match the screws with the locking holes and improve the locking accuracy.

[0046] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, the frame 1 is provided with a hopper 101 and a third vision module 102. The hopper 101 is used to store screws, and the third vision module 102 is used to detect the posture of the screw being extracted from the fastening module 702.

[0047] In this embodiment, the third vision module 102 is a CCD camera. The third vision module 102 identifies the posture of the screw to be locked extracted from the locking module 702. If the screw posture deviates from the preset posture, the screw is discarded until the extracted screw to be locked conforms to the preset posture. This can effectively avoid the risk of misalignment between the screws of the cover and the product.

[0048] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, the fastening station is provided with a pressing mechanism 9, which is used to contact and press the product on the fastening station.

[0049] In this embodiment, the pressing mechanism 9 contacts and presses against the product, providing pressure between the product and the top cover to ensure that no misalignment occurs during screw fastening.

[0050] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, the pressing mechanism 9 includes a bracket 901, a guide post 902, a pressing drive component 903, a baffle 904, and a pressing post 905. The bracket 901 is mounted on the frame 1, the guide post 902 is mounted on the bracket 901, the baffle 904 is slidably connected to the guide post 902, the pressing drive component 903 is mounted on the bracket 901, the baffle 904 is connected to the pressing drive component 903, the pressing drive component 903 is used to drive the baffle 904 to move axially along the guide post 902, and the pressing post 905 is used to press against the product.

[0051] In this embodiment, the bracket 901 is located at the locking station. The bracket 901 holds the baffle 904 above the second conveying mechanism 4. The baffle 904 has through holes that correspond to the locking holes on the product and the top cover. These through holes allow the locking module 702 to pass through. The baffle 904 prevents the screws to be locked from being extracted from the locking module 702 from falling directly onto the product. The guide post 902 extends along the height of the frame 1. The baffle 904 and the guide post 902... The sliding connection allows the baffle 904 to move along the height direction of the frame 1. The pressing drive component 903 is a cylinder. The pressing drive component 903 drives the baffle 904 to move up or down along the height direction of the frame 1. The pressing drive component 903 drives the baffle 904 to descend, so that the pressing column 905 contacts and presses against the bottom shell of the product. The pressing drive component 903 drives the baffle 904 to rise along the height direction of the frame 1, thereby releasing the contact between the pressing column 905 and the bottom shell of the product.

[0052] In terms of working principle, this application uses a first conveying mechanism 2 to transport a tray 201 containing products to a flipping station. A flipping mechanism 3 flips the products on the tray 201 so that the circuit board faces down and the bottom shell faces up. A transfer and assembly mechanism then extracts and transfers the flipped products from the first conveying mechanism 2 to the assembly station, where they are assembled with the top cover. A second conveying mechanism 4 transfers the assembled products and top cover from the assembly station to a locking station, where a locking mechanism 7 locks the products and top cover together. By setting up the first conveying mechanism 2, flipping mechanism 3, transfer and assembly mechanism 4, and locking mechanism 7, this application achieves automatic product transfer, automatic flipping, automatic assembly, and automatic locking, effectively improving production efficiency. Furthermore, the automatic assembly and locking mechanisms effectively improve product consistency, thereby significantly improving product quality.

[0053] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
