Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of brush rod assembly technology, specifically a brush rod assembly machine. Background Technology

[0002] Brush handles are commonly used in cosmetics and daily necessities as accessories. Brush handle assembly machines, also known as brush handle combination machines, are highly customized, high-efficiency industrial-grade automated surface treatment equipment. By combining brush handles with different functions, they achieve one-stop processing of product surfaces, thereby reducing worker workload. They are one of the key pieces of equipment in modern manufacturing for improving product appearance quality, added value, and production efficiency.

[0003] Existing brush bar assembly machines are typically multi-station automated assembly lines, which are long, linear production lines that occupy a large area, require numerous processing stations and supporting equipment, and necessitate multiple workers to supervise different stations, resulting in high costs for the entire production line. Therefore, we have developed a brush bar assembly machine. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a brush bar combination machine to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a brush bar combination machine, including a base and a conveyor. The conveyor is installed on one side of the outer wall of the base. A rotating worktable is rotatably connected to the top center of the base, and clamps with equal included angles are installed on the outer side of the top of the rotating worktable. Above the rotating worktable, a feeding area, a flattening area, a detection area, a glue spraying area, a loading area, a clamping area, and a part removal area are arranged sequentially along the circumferential direction. The feeding area, flattening area, detection area, glue spraying area, loading area, clamping area, and part removal area are circumferentially distributed with the rotating worktable as the axis. The feeding area is located at the output end of the conveyor, thus forming a rotary worktable to improve space utilization.

[0006] The feeding area is equipped with a No. 1 frame, and a No. 1 cylinder is installed at the top center of the No. 1 frame. The bottom end of the No. 1 frame is fixedly connected to the top of the base. The output end of the No. 1 cylinder is fixedly connected to a base. The base has a "U" shaped structure, and a flipping gripper is rotatably connected inside the base. The flipping gripper then picks up the workpiece and flips it into the fixture to complete the feeding operation.

[0007] The workpiece is rotated 180 degrees by flipping the gripper, and then the first cylinder is activated to extend and move the base downward, thereby moving the workpiece held by the flipping gripper into the fixture, in preparation for subsequent glue spraying and handle installation.

[0008] Preferably, the flattening area is provided with a second frame, and a second cylinder is installed in the middle of the second frame, and a lower pressure plate is fixedly connected to the output end of the second cylinder.

[0009] By activating cylinder number two, the lower pressure plate is moved downward, thereby applying pressure to the workpiece inside the fixture, ensuring that the workpiece is fixed flat and stably on the fixture.

[0010] Preferably, the detection area is equipped with a third frame, and detectors are installed on both sides of the top of the third frame. The detectors, in conjunction with photoelectric sensors, detect whether a workpiece is inside the fixture.

[0011] By using a detector in conjunction with a fiber optic sensor, the presence of a workpiece in the fixture can be detected, thereby preventing ineffective glue spraying operations when the workpiece is missing, which would waste glue and contaminate the equipment.

[0012] Preferably, the glue spraying area is provided with a fourth frame, and there are two sets of fourth frames. A third cylinder is installed in the middle of the fourth frame. A baffle plate is fixedly connected to the output end of the third cylinder. A glue spraying gun is provided above the baffle plate. The top of the outer wall of the glue spraying gun is connected to the fourth frame.

[0013] By starting the retraction of cylinder number three, the baffle plate is moved away from the top of the fixture. Then, the glue gun is started to spray glue onto the workpiece inside the fixture.

[0014] Preferably, the feeding area is provided with a feeding box, and the bottom end of the feeding box is connected to the base. The feeding box is equipped with a direct vibration feeding mechanism, and an industrial camera is installed at the output end of the feeding box.

[0015] The handle parts are arranged neatly and transported to the designated picking position by the direct vibration feeding mechanism installed inside the feeding box. Then, the handle's posture and direction are photographed and identified by an industrial camera to determine whether the handle is facing correctly, thereby ensuring that the handle is picked up and assembled in the correct direction.

[0016] Preferably, the clamping area is provided with a No. 5 frame, and the No. 4 cylinder is installed on both sides of the outer wall of the No. 5 frame, and the output end of the No. 4 cylinder is fixedly connected to a clamping plate.

[0017] By activating cylinder number four, the stopper plate is moved downward, pressing the handle and the workpiece into place, thus completing the final assembly process and ensuring that the handle is securely installed.

[0018] Preferably, the picking area is provided with a No. 6 rack, and a track is installed at the top of the No. 6 rack. An extension cylinder is connected to the middle of the track via a slide, and a picking gripper is connected to the output end of the extension cylinder.

[0019] By activating the extension cylinder, the gripper claws move closer together to clamp the product in the fixture. The workpiece is then removed from the fixture and moved to the conveyor belt, thus transporting the assembled product to the next process.

[0020] As can be seen from the above, the brush rod combination machine provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects.

[0021] The rotating worktable drives the fixture to rotate, allowing it to pass through various work areas. All workstations perform actions synchronously during the time the rotating worktable is stationary. The cycle time is determined only by the most time-consuming workstation, thereby improving production efficiency and stabilizing product quality. Furthermore, all workstations are closely arranged around the rotating worktable, maximizing space utilization and reducing costs. Since all workstations are exposed on the outside of the rotating worktable, operators can observe the working status of almost all workstations from one location, facilitating debugging and maintenance.

[0033] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0034] Please see Figures 1-10 This utility model provides a technical solution: a brush bar combination machine, including a base 1 and a conveyor 2. The conveyor 2 is provided on one side of the outer wall of the base 1. A rotating worktable 3 is rotatably connected to the top center of the base 1. The outer side of the top of the rotating worktable 3 is equipped with clamps 4 distributed at equal angles. Above the rotating worktable 3, a feeding area 5, a flattening area 6, a detection area 7, a glue spraying area 8, a loading area 9, a clamping area 10, and a picking area 11 are arranged in sequence along the circumference. The feeding area 5, flattening area 6, detection area 7, glue spraying area 8, loading area 9, clamping area 10, and picking area 11 are arranged in a circle with the rotating worktable 3 as the axis. The feeding area 5 is located at the output end of the conveyor 2, thus forming a rotary worktable to improve space utilization.

[0035] The feeding area 5 is equipped with a No. 1 frame, and a No. 1 cylinder 12 is installed at the top center of the No. 1 frame. The bottom end of the No. 1 frame is fixedly connected to the top of the base 1. The output end of the No. 1 cylinder 12 is fixedly connected to a base 13, which has a "U"-shaped structure. A flipping gripper 14 is rotatably connected inside the base 13, which then grips the workpiece and flips it into the fixture 4 to complete the feeding operation. The flattening area 6 is equipped with a No. 2 frame, and a No. 2 cylinder 15 is installed in the middle of the No. 2 frame. The output end of the No. 2 cylinder 15 is fixedly connected to a lower pressure plate 16. The detection area 7 is equipped with a No. 3 frame, and detectors 17 are installed on both sides of the top of the No. 3 frame. The detectors 17, in conjunction with photoelectric sensors, detect whether a workpiece is inside the fixture 4. The glue spraying area 8 is equipped with a No. 4 frame, and the No. 4 frame has two sets of... Furthermore, a cylinder 18 is installed in the middle of the fourth frame, and a baffle plate 19 is fixedly connected to the output end of the cylinder 18. A glue gun 20 is installed above the baffle plate 19, and the top of the outer wall of the glue gun 20 is connected to the fourth frame. A feeding box 21 is installed in the feeding area 9, and the bottom end of the feeding box 21 is connected to the base 1. A direct vibration feeding mechanism is installed inside the feeding box 21, and an industrial camera 22 is installed at the output end of the feeding box 21. A fifth frame is installed in the clamping area 10, and cylinders 23 are installed on both sides of the outer wall of the fifth frame. A clamping plate 24 is fixedly connected to the output end of the cylinder 23. A sixth frame is installed in the picking area 11, and a track 25 is installed at the top of the sixth frame. An extension cylinder 26 is connected to the middle of the track 25 through a slide, and a picking gripper 27 is connected to the output end of the extension cylinder 26.

[0036] In practice, the workpiece is first transported to the tail of the conveyor 2, so that the workpiece is located in the feeding area 5 above the base 1. The surface of the conveyor 2 is provided with a limit structure (not shown in the figure) so that the workpiece is neatly arranged in the feeding area 5. At this time, the flipping gripper 14 clamps the transported workpiece. Then, the flipping motor inside the base 13 is started, so that the flipping gripper 14 drives the workpiece to flip 180 degrees. Then, the first cylinder 12 is started to extend, so that the base 13 moves downward, thereby moving the workpiece clamped by the flipping gripper 14 into the fixture 4, in preparation for subsequent glue spraying and handle installation, thus realizing the automated feeding and material supply of the bottom parts.

[0037] Next, the rotating worktable 3 will rotate, causing the clamp 4 on its top to rotate, so that the clamp 4 moves from the feeding area 5 to the flattening area 6. At this time, the second cylinder 15 is activated to drive the lower pressure plate 16 to move downward, thereby generating pressure on the workpiece in the clamp 4, ensuring that the workpiece is flat and stably fixed on the clamp 4, thus flattening the workpiece.

[0038] Afterwards, the rotating worktable 3 will move the workpiece from the flattening area 6 to the detection area 7. At this time, the detector 17, together with the fiber optic sensor, will detect whether there is a workpiece in the fixture 4, thereby preventing invalid glue spraying operations when the workpiece is missing, which would waste glue and contaminate the equipment.

[0039] Next, the rotating worktable 3 will move the workpiece from the inspection area 7 to the glue spraying area 8. First, the cylinder 18 is activated to retract and move the baffle plate 19, so that the baffle plate 19 is moved away from the fixture 4. Then, the glue spraying gun 20 is activated to spray glue onto the workpiece in the fixture 4, thereby facilitating the subsequent bonding work of the workpiece.

[0040] Afterwards, the rotating worktable 3 will move the workpiece from the glue spraying area 8 to the loading area 9. The handle parts are arranged neatly and transported to the designated picking position by the direct vibration loading mechanism installed inside the feeding box 21. Then, the industrial camera 22 takes pictures of the handle's posture and direction to determine whether the handle's orientation is correct, thereby ensuring that the handle is picked up and assembled in the correct direction. Afterwards, the robotic arm grabs the handle that has been visually confirmed to be in the correct direction from the direct vibration outlet and accurately inserts it into the glue application hole of the fixture 4 so that the handle is bonded to the workpiece.

[0041] Next, the rotating worktable 3 will move the workpiece from the loading area 9 to the clamping area 10. The fourth cylinder 23 will be activated to drive the clamping plate 24 to move down, pressing the handle and the workpiece into place, thus completing the final assembly process and ensuring that the handle is installed firmly.

[0042] Afterwards, the rotating worktable 3 will move the workpiece from the clamping area 10 to the picking area 11. Then, the slide will move along the track 25, so that the picking claw 27 approaches the fixture 4. Then, the extension cylinder 26 will be activated to drive the picking claw 27 to move closer to each other, thereby clamping the product in the fixture 4. Then, the workpiece will be taken out from the fixture 4 and moved to the conveyor belt (not shown in the figure), thus transporting the assembled product to the next process. Subsequently, the photoelectric sensor, in conjunction with the telescopic barrier, will detect whether the product in the fixture 4 has been successfully taken out.

[0043] The rotating worktable 3 drives the fixture 4 to rotate, allowing it to pass through various working areas. All workstations perform actions synchronously during the dwell time of the rotating worktable 3. The cycle time is determined only by the most time-consuming workstation, thereby improving production efficiency and stabilizing product quality. Furthermore, all workstations are closely surrounding the rotating worktable 3, maximizing space utilization and reducing costs. Since all workstations are exposed on the outside of the rotating worktable 3, only one operator is needed to observe the working status of almost all workstations, facilitating debugging and maintenance.

[0044] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. The substitutions may be replacements of some structures, devices, or method steps, or they may be complete technical solutions. Equivalent substitutions or modifications made based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model should all be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
