Specifically, the operator places the first material (handle) into the first feeding mechanism, which temporarily stores the first material. The first receiving mechanism is activated to retrieve the first material from the first feeding mechanism.

[0026] The following examples provide a more detailed description of the features and other related characteristics of this utility model, to facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art:
[0027] For ease of description and understanding, please refer to the following descriptions related to positional relationships such as front, back, top, bottom, left, right, outside, and inside in this case. Figure 1 , Figure 2 The orientation shown.
[0028] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this invention provides a gear-type handle knob switch assembly machine (hereinafter referred to as the assembly machine), including a mounting plate 100. The mounting plate 100 serves as a basic frame, providing an installation and support platform for various mechanisms. In specific implementations, the assembly machine of this invention also includes a frame (not shown in the figure). The frame is a well-known technology in the field, and it is not the focus of this utility model. For the sake of convenience in describing it in conjunction with the drawings, it will not be described in detail in this invention. Users can design the frame according to their actual situation. The mounting plate 100 is equipped with a first feeding mechanism 1, a first receiving mechanism 2, a pushing mechanism 3, an installation station 4, a guiding mechanism 5, a material transfer mechanism 6, a second feeding mechanism 7, a second receiving mechanism 8, and a discharging mechanism 9. The first receiving mechanism 2 is connected to the right end of the first feeding mechanism 1 to receive the first material 200 (i.e., the handle) fed by the first feeding mechanism 1. The pushing mechanism 3 is connected to the upper end of the first feeding mechanism 1 to push the first material 200 received by the first receiving mechanism 2 to the installation station 4. The guiding mechanism 5 is located at the right end of the installation station 4 to press the first material 200 on the installation station 4. The second receiving mechanism 8 is connected to the right end of the second feeding mechanism 7 to receive the second material 300 (i.e., the copper sheet) fed by the second feeding mechanism 7. The material transfer mechanism 6 is suspended above the installation station 4 and can reciprocate between the installation station 4 and the second receiving mechanism 8. The material transfer mechanism 6 is used to transfer the second material 300 in the second receiving mechanism 8 to the installation station 4 and install it on the first material 200.
[0029] Specifically, the operator places the first material into the first feeding mechanism, which temporarily stores the first material. The first receiving mechanism is activated to retrieve the first material from the first feeding mechanism. The pushing mechanism is activated to push the first material from the first receiving mechanism to the installation station, preparing for the installation of the second material. The clamping mechanism is activated to clamp the handle at the installation station, ensuring its stability during the copper sheet installation process. The operator places the copper sheet into the second feeding mechanism in advance, which temporarily stores the copper sheet. The second receiving mechanism is activated to retrieve the second material from the second feeding mechanism. The transfer mechanism is activated to grab the copper sheet from the second receiving mechanism and accurately transfer it to the handle position at the installation station. The material transfer mechanism, through precise control, accurately installs the copper sheet onto the handle, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the conductive component. Once the copper sheet is successfully installed on the handle, the clamping mechanism is released, and the assembled handle knob switch is ready for unloading. The unloading mechanism is activated to convey the assembled handle knob switch from the installation station, thus completing the entire operation.
[0030] The assembly machine in this case not only simplifies the installation process of the copper plates in gear-type rotary switches, but also greatly improves the stability and accuracy of assembly, thus providing a solid foundation for subsequent quality inspection and packaging processes. Through precise control and efficient connection, the entire assembly machine ensures a smooth and efficient production process, significantly improving product assembly quality and production efficiency, and greatly reducing production costs. Furthermore, flexible configuration options allow the equipment to adapt to various specifications and models of rotary switches, meeting the diverse needs of different users.
[0031] It should be further explained that, in specific implementation, this invention uses multiple sensor switches to detect the presence or absence of objects and their positioning, thereby triggering the device's action or changing its state. This related content is well-known in the art, and will not be elaborated on for each sensor switch individually. In specific implementation, those skilled in the art can, based on common knowledge in the field, combine the handle switch assembly device of this invention to set up corresponding sensor switches to achieve linkage between various mechanisms.
[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, the first feeding mechanism 1 includes a first vibratory plate, a first feeding guide rail 11 connected to the right end of the first vibratory plate, and a first linear vibrator 12 installed at the lower end of the first feeding guide rail 11. The first vibratory plate (not shown in the figure) in this case can be a vibratory plate commonly used in the field. It is not the focus of this utility model. For the convenience of describing it in conjunction with the drawings, it will not be described in detail in this case. Users can select a suitable first vibratory plate according to the actual situation. In specific implementation, the first material 200 is placed in the first vibratory plate in advance by hand. The first vibratory plate will initially arrange and orient the scattered first material 200 to ensure that it enters the first feeding guide rail 11 in the correct posture. Then, the first material 200 is guided to the first receiving mechanism (2) through the first feeding guide rail 11 to ensure that it continues to maintain the correct posture during the transmission process. The first linear vibrator 12 provides vibration power to ensure that the first material 200 can move smoothly in the first feeding guide rail 11 and maintain the correct posture, effectively preventing jamming or blockage.
[0033] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the first receiving mechanism 2 of this case includes a first cylinder 21 and a first receiving platform 22 connected to the front end of the first cylinder 21 and capable of moving up and down under the drive of the first cylinder 21. A first receiving groove 221 is provided on the first receiving platform 22. The first cylinder 21 provides the power for up and down movement, ensuring that the first receiving platform 22 can accurately receive the handle transmitted from the first feeding mechanism 1. The first receiving platform 22 is connected to the front end of the first cylinder 21 and can move up and down under the drive of the first cylinder 21, used to receive and temporarily store the first material 200 conveyed from the first feeding mechanism 1. In specific implementation, the size and shape of the first receiving groove 211 are designed to match the handle, ensuring that the handle can be stably placed inside. The first receiving groove 211 is used to accommodate and fix the handle, ensuring that it maintains a stable posture during transmission and preventing it from tipping over or falling. In practice, the first receiving platform 22 and the first cylinder 21 of this invention can be detached so that users can choose to set different first receiving platforms 22 according to different handle products, thereby increasing the versatility of the assembly machine and making it easy to quickly adapt to different models of handle products.
[0034] As described above, the specific working principle is as follows: the first cylinder 21 is started, driving the first receiving platform 22 to move upward to the corresponding position of the first feeding mechanism 1, the first material 200 moves to the first receiving platform 22 and is stuck in the first receiving groove 211, the first cylinder 21 is started again, driving the first receiving platform 22 to descend and reset, and the first material 200 received is pushed to the installation station 4 through the pushing mechanism, and so on.
[0035] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4As shown, the feeding mechanism 3 of this invention includes a first base 31 connected to the mounting plate 100, a feeding plate 32 slidably connected to the upper end of the first base 31, and a second cylinder 33 connected to the upper end of the first base 31. A slide rail 311 is provided on the first base 31. One end 32 of the feeding plate is slidably connected to the slide rail 311. The second cylinder 33 is located at the right end of the feeding plate 32, and the left end of the feeding plate 32 is connected to the second cylinder 33. The feeding plate 32 includes a first feeding rod 321 located at its right end. Driven by the second cylinder 33, the feeding plate 32 reciprocates on the slide rail 311. The sliding engagement between the feeding plate 32 and the slide rail 311 ensures that the feeding plate 32 maintains a stable trajectory during reciprocating motion, preventing deviation or vibration, and thus ensuring the accuracy of feeding. The first receiving mechanism 2 receives the handle and temporarily stores it on the first receiving platform 22. In practice, after the first receiving mechanism 2 receives the first material 200, the pusher plate 32 moves to the right along the slide rail 311 under the drive of the second cylinder 33. The first pusher rod 321 is inserted into the first receiving mechanism 2 and pushes the material in the first receiving mechanism 2 to the installation station 4. After the push is completed, the second cylinder 33 is started again, driving the pusher plate 32 to move to the left along the slide rail 311 and return to the initial position, ready for the next push.
[0036] like Figures 1-3 , Figure 7 As shown, the installation station 4 in this case includes a base 41, on which a material guide trough 411 is provided. The base 41 also includes a baffle 42 that partially covers the left side of the material guide trough 411. In specific implementation, the uncovered right side of the material guide trough 411 is the specific station waiting to be installed. The base 41 serves as the basic support for the installation station, providing an installation platform and support. The material guide trough 411 is provided on the base 41 to guide the second material 200 into the specific installation position. The baffle 42 partially covers the left side of the material guide trough 411 to ensure that the second material 200 maintains the correct posture when entering the installation station and to prevent it from shifting or overturning during the pushing process.
[0037] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 7As shown, the material guiding mechanism 5 of this case includes a first bracket 51, a third cylinder 52 mounted on the first bracket 51, a connecting seat 53 connected to the front end of the third cylinder 52 and movable back and forth under the drive of the third cylinder 52, and a guide rod 54 connected to the right end of the connecting seat 53. The guide rod 54 extends laterally to the right above the installation station 4. The first bracket 51 is used to fix and support the first cylinder 21 and the connecting seat 53. Under normal conditions, the guide rod 54 remains in the corresponding position on the installation station 4. When the pushing mechanism 3 pushes the first receiving mechanism 2 to the installation station 4, the third cylinder 52 is activated, driving the connecting seat 53 to move downward and simultaneously driving the guide rod 54 to move downward, thereby aligning it with the corresponding position on the installation station 4 and pressing the first material 200 entering the installation station 4, thus providing guidance for the first material 200 and providing an accurate movement path, effectively preventing the pushing mechanism 3 from pushing the first material 200 to other positions that do not conform to the installation position, or causing it to fall off or shift.
[0038] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the second feeding mechanism 7 includes a second vibratory plate, a second feeding guide rail 71 connected to the right end of the second vibratory plate, and a second linear vibrator 72 installed at the lower end of the second feeding guide rail 71. The second vibratory plate (not shown in the figure) can be a common vibratory plate in the art, but it is not the focus of this utility model. For ease of description in conjunction with the drawings, it will not be elaborated upon here. Users can select a suitable second vibratory plate according to their actual situation. In specific implementation, the second material 300 is manually placed in the second vibratory plate in advance. The second vibratory plate initially arranges and orients the scattered second material 300, ensuring that it enters the second feeding guide rail 71 in the correct posture. Then, the second feeding guide rail 71 guides the second material 300 to move to the second receiving mechanism 8, ensuring that the second material 300 continues to maintain the correct posture during transmission. The second linear vibrator 72 provides vibration power, ensuring that the second material 300 can move smoothly within the second feeding guide rail 71 and maintain the correct posture, effectively preventing jamming or blockage.
[0039] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5As shown, the second receiving mechanism 8 of this invention includes a second support 81, a fourth cylinder 82 mounted on the second support 81, a second receiving platform 83 connected to the front end of the fourth cylinder 82 and capable of moving up and down with the fourth cylinder 82, a pressure plate 84 movably mounted on the second receiving platform 83, and a telescopic cylinder 85 connected to the left end of the pressure plate 84 and capable of driving the pressure plate 84 to move left and right. The telescopic cylinder 85 is connected to the second support 81, and a second receiving groove 831 is provided on the second receiving platform 83. The fourth cylinder 82 provides the power for up and down movement, ensuring that the second receiving platform 83 can accurately receive the second material 300 conveyed by the second feeding mechanism 7. The second receiving platform 82 can move up and down under the drive of the fourth cylinder 82, thereby receiving and temporarily storing the second material 300 conveyed by the second feeding mechanism 7. Since copper sheets are generally thin and light, they are prone to displacement and detachment during the transfer process, which can affect the installation effect. Therefore, in this case, the stability of the copper sheet's position during the transfer process is effectively ensured by setting up a pressure plate 84 and a telescopic cylinder 85.
[0040] As described above, the specific working principle is as follows: The fourth cylinder 82 is activated, driving the second receiving platform 83 to move downwards to the position corresponding to the second feeding mechanism 7. The second material 300 moves onto the second receiving platform 82 and is inserted into the second receiving groove 831. At this time, the telescopic cylinder 85 remains extended, that is, the pressure plate 84 is always pressed above the second receiving platform 83 to press the second material 300 tightly into the second receiving groove 831. Then, the fourth cylinder 82 is activated again, driving the second receiving platform 82 to rise. Then, the telescopic cylinder 85 is activated, driving the pressure plate 84 to move to the left relative to the second receiving platform 83 to expose the second material 300 for the material transfer mechanism to hold. This reciprocating motion continues.
[0041] In practice, the second receiving platform 83 in this case is detachable, so that users can choose to set different second receiving platforms 83 according to different handle products, thereby increasing the versatility of the assembly machine and making it easy to quickly adapt to different models of handle products.
[0042] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6As shown, the material transfer mechanism 6 of this invention includes a third support 61, a linear module 62 mounted on the third support 61, and a suction device 63 connected to the linear module 62. The third support 61 serves as the basic support for the material transfer mechanism 6, providing an installation and support platform. The linear module 62 is used to drive the suction device 63 to reciprocate along a predetermined path, improving the accuracy and smoothness of the movement. The suction device 63 is used to grab and mount the second material 300. The linear module 62 includes a horizontally arranged support base 621 connected to a third bracket 61, and a fifth cylinder 622 connected to the right end of the support base 621. The front end of the fifth cylinder 622 is connected to a suction device 63 and can drive the suction device 63 to reciprocate along the support base 621. The support base 621 includes a guide rail 6211 and a lead screw 6212 disposed on the upper end of the guide rail 6211. The suction device 63 is connected to the lead screw 6212 via a linear bearing 6213 and to the guide rail 6211 via a slide block 6214. The suction device 63 includes a sixth cylinder 631, a seventh cylinder 632 for driving the sixth cylinder 631 to move up and down, and a vacuum nozzle 633 connected to the lower end of the seventh cylinder 632. The vacuum nozzle 633 can move up and down under the drive of the seventh cylinder 632. The material transfer mechanism 6 of this invention ensures the accurate suction, transfer, and precise installation of the second material 300 onto the first material 200.
[0043] As described above, in specific implementation, the linear module 62 is activated, and the fifth cylinder 622 drives the suction device 63 to move along the support base 621 to above the second receiving mechanism 8. The sixth cylinder 631 is activated, driving the vacuum nozzle 633 to move downward and grab the copper sheet located in the second receiving mechanism 8. The fifth cylinder 622 is activated again, driving the suction device 63 to move along the support base 621 to above the installation station 4. The sixth cylinder 631 is activated, driving the vacuum nozzle 633 to move downward and place the second material 300 on the first material 200 on the installation station 4. The seventh cylinder 632 is activated, driving the vacuum nozzle 633 to continue moving downward and pressing the second material 300 into the first material 200, ensuring that the two are firmly installed. After pressing is completed, the seventh cylinder 632 and the sixth cylinder 631 are activated in sequence, causing the vacuum nozzle 633 to return to its initial position, ready for the next grab, and so on in a reciprocating cycle.
[0044] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 7As shown, the unloading mechanism 9 of this invention includes a ninth cylinder 91 located below the installation station 4, a tenth cylinder 92 for driving the ninth cylinder 91 to move left and right, and an unloading slide 93 connected to the right side of the installation station 4. A second push rod 94 is connected to the ninth cylinder 91, and the second push rod 94 can extend and retract in the installation station 4 under the drive of the ninth cylinder 91. It should be noted that after the second push rod 94 extends into the installation station 4, it is located at the right end of the second material 300 and the first material 200 after assembly. In practice, after the second material 300 and the first material 200 are assembled at the installation station 4, the ninth cylinder 91 is activated and drives the second push rod 94 to extend towards the installation station 4. Then, the tenth cylinder 92 is activated, driving the ninth cylinder 91 to move to the right. This pushes the assembled second material 300 and the first material 200 on the right side out of the installation station 4 through the second push rod 94 and slides out of the assembly machine through the unloading slide 93. After completion, the ninth cylinder 91 and the tenth cylinder 92 are reset, ready for the next action, and so on in a repeated cycle.
[0045] Finally, it should be noted that, in specific implementation, the number of the first receiving groove 221, the guide groove 411, the second receiving groove 831, the first push rod 321, and the guide rod 54 can be set according to requirements, so that the equipment of this invention can simultaneously assemble three handles and copper sheets or more handles and copper sheets, thereby further improving production efficiency and reducing production costs. In this invention, the number of the above-mentioned components is preferably set to two, which can meet the basic production efficiency requirements. Those skilled in this technology can set different numbers according to actual usage requirements, and are not limited to the numbers shown in this invention.
[0046] The complete working principle of the handle switch assembly machine in this case is as follows:
[0047] The operator places the scattered handles (first material 200) into the first vibratory feeder of the first feeding mechanism 1 in advance. The first vibratory feeder initially arranges and orients the first material 200, ensuring it enters the first feeding guide rail 11 in the correct posture. The first linear vibrator 12 provides vibration power, ensuring that the first material 200 moves smoothly within the first feeding guide rail 11 and maintains the correct posture, eventually reaching the first receiving mechanism 2. The first cylinder 21 is activated, driving the first receiving platform 22 to move upward to the corresponding position on the first feeding guide rail 11. The first material 200 enters the first receiving groove 221 and is placed securely. The first cylinder 21 is activated again, driving the first receiving platform 22 to descend and reset. The second cylinder 33 of the pushing mechanism 3 is activated, driving the pushing plate 32 to move to the right along the slide rail 311. The first pushing rod 321 is inserted into the first receiving mechanism 2 and pushes the first material 200 into the guide groove 411 on the installation station 4 until it is pushed to the right of the baffle 42, waiting for the copper sheet to be installed. Simultaneously with the activation of the pushing mechanism 3, the guiding mechanism 5 also activates, and the third cylinder 52 activates, driving the connecting seat 53 downwards to press the guide rod 54 against the handle in the guide groove 411, ensuring stability during the pushing process. After pushing is complete, the second cylinder 33 activates again, driving the pushing plate 32 to move to the left along the slide rail 311, returning to its initial position. The operator places the scattered copper sheets (second material 300) in advance into the second vibratory feeder of the second feeding mechanism 7. It should be noted that the first feeding mechanism 1 and the second feeding mechanism 7 operate synchronously and continuously feed. The second vibratory feeder initially arranges and orients the second material 300, ensuring it enters the second feeding guide rail 71 in the correct posture. The second linear vibrator 72 provides vibration power, ensuring that the second material 300 moves smoothly within the second feeding guide rail 71 and maintains the correct posture, eventually reaching the second receiving mechanism 8. The fourth cylinder 82 activates, driving the second receiving platform 83 downwards to the corresponding position on the second feeding guide rail 71. The second material 300 enters the second receiving trough 831 and is placed securely. The telescopic cylinder 85 drives the pressure plate 84 to press the second material 300. The fourth cylinder 82 starts again, driving the second receiving platform 83 to rise. The telescopic cylinder 85 starts, moving the pressure plate 84 to the left, exposing the second material 300 for the material transfer mechanism 6 to grasp. The linear module 62 starts, and the fifth cylinder 622 drives the suction device 63 to move along the support base 621 above the second receiving mechanism 8. The sixth cylinder 631 starts, driving the vacuum nozzle 633 to move downward and grasp the copper sheet located in the second receiving mechanism 8.
