[0029] In order to describe this utility model in detail, the following is a specific description of an assembly device according to this utility model:

[0030] Please combine Figures 1 to 3As shown, this utility model provides an assembly device, including a frame 1, a transport mechanism 2, and a clamping and positioning mechanism 3. The transport mechanism 2 is disposed on the frame 1 and is used to transport the parts to be assembled. The transport mechanism 2 has a transport surface for transporting the parts to be assembled. The clamping and positioning mechanism 3 is disposed on the frame 1 and spans the transport mechanism 2 corresponding to the transport surface. The clamping and positioning mechanism 3 includes a clamping and positioning base 301 and a clamping component for clamping the parts to be assembled. The clamping component is slidably disposed on the clamping and positioning base 301 along a first direction. The clamping component has a clamping position close to the transport surface and a ready position away from the transport surface. The clamping component reciprocates between the clamping position and the ready position. The clamping component includes a mounting base 304 and a force-applying member slidably disposed on the mounting base 304 along a second direction. The force-applying member has an extension position and a retraction position. The force-applying member reciprocates between the extension position and the retraction position. The first direction and the second direction are perpendicular, and the second direction is the transport direction of the transport mechanism 2. By mounting the clamping and positioning mechanism 3 across the transport mechanism 2, the space above the transport mechanism 2 can be used efficiently, while also meeting the clamping requirements for the parts to be assembled, thus maximizing the use of the workspace. Furthermore, by setting a second moving component, the force-applying component can be driven to reciprocate between the extension and retraction positions, avoiding interference with the operator's work and greatly ensuring the operator's work efficiency.

[0031] The force-applying components include a main board 307 and an adjusting plate 308 connected to the main board 307. Both the main board 307 and the adjusting plate 308 are positioned corresponding to the moving surface. The main board 307 is slidably mounted on the mounting base 304 along a second direction. The main board 307 and the adjusting plate 308 are spaced apart, with the adjusting plate 308 closer to the moving surface than the main board 307. The main board 307 and the adjusting plate 308 facilitate adjustment of the clamping force between the adjusting plate 308 and the part to be assembled.

[0032] The adjusting plate 308 has multiple clamping posts extending towards the transport surface on its side facing the transport surface. By clamping the parts to be assembled with the clamping posts, surface contact can be changed to point contact, avoiding damage to the vulnerable parts of the parts to be assembled. At the same time, the clamping posts are made of elastic material, making the structure easy to replace and low in manufacturing cost.

[0033] Specifically, the force-applying component is provided with positioning holes for locating the screw positions. By providing positioning holes, the operator can easily locate the position to be screwed when performing screw-locking operations on the component to be assembled, improving the convenience and accuracy of the operation.

[0034] In this embodiment, the clamping and positioning base 301 is further provided with a first driving member 303 and a limiting rod 302. The output end of the first driving member 303 is connected to the clamping assembly and is used to drive the clamping assembly to reciprocate along the first direction. The clamping and positioning base 301 is provided with a first limiting hole, which extends along the first direction. The limiting rod 302 passes through the limiting hole. In this embodiment, the clamping and positioning base 301 is provided with four limiting rods 302. Two adjacent limiting rods 302 form a group and are connected at their ends. The other end of the limiting rod 302 is connected to the clamping assembly to limit the movement direction of the limiting rod 302. The line connecting the clamping position and the preparation position extends along the first direction, which is the height direction of the assembly equipment. The movement direction of the moving mechanism 2 is the second direction, and the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular. The first driving member 303 can be a cylinder or a linear motor. The mounting base 304 is provided with two slide rails 305. The output end of the first drive unit 303 is connected to the mounting base 304. A slide bar 306 is provided on each slide rail 305, which engages with the slide rail 305 and can slide along a second direction. The slide bar 306 extends along the second direction, and a force-applying component is disposed on the slide bar 306. The slide rails 305 and the slide bar 306 cooperate to cause the force-applying component to reciprocate between an extended position and a retracted position. The slide bar 306 slides on the slide rails 305 via a second drive unit, which can be a cylinder or a linear motor.

[0035] like Figure 6 As shown, the assembly equipment has an assembly position for assembling the parts to be assembled. A lifting component 7 is provided on the transport mechanism 2 corresponding to the assembly position. The lifting component 7 includes a lifting receiving component and a lifting drive component. The lifting drive component is mounted on the frame 1, and its output end is connected to the lifting receiving component. The lifting receiving component has a lifting position and a lowering position, with the lifting position closer to the assembly position than the lowering position. The lifting drive component drives the lifting receiving component to reciprocate between the lifting position and the lowering position. In this embodiment, the transport mechanism 2 includes two transport tracks, both extending in the direction of conveying the parts to be assembled. The two transport tracks are arranged at intervals along a first direction, which is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the parts to be assembled. The lifting component 7, corresponding to the assembly position, is positioned between the two transport tracks. Each transport track includes a ring chain and two sprockets. The ring chain is sleeved on the two sprockets. The corresponding sprockets of the two transport tracks share a common shaft, thus ensuring that the conveying speeds of the two transport tracks are consistent. In this embodiment, a motor drives a rotating shaft to rotate around its axial direction, thereby moving the sprocket and the ring chain to transport the parts to be assembled. In some embodiments, the rotating shaft can be manually rotated to drive it around its axial direction, and the method of implementation can be changed according to actual usage needs.

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the assembly equipment also includes a nail-removing assembly and a nail-attaching assembly 4. The nail-attaching assembly 4 is positioned corresponding to the assembly position. Along the conveying direction of the transport mechanism 2, the nail-removing assembly, the nail-attaching assembly 4, and the clamping and positioning mechanism 3 are arranged sequentially and located on the same side of the transport mechanism 2. By rationally arranging the positions of the clamping and positioning mechanism 3, the nail-removing assembly, and the nail-attaching assembly 4, the distance between the nail-removing assembly and the assembly position is reduced, which facilitates operation by the operator and reduces the design requirements for the nail-removing assembly. In this embodiment, the nail-retrieving assembly includes a nail-forming component and a nail-storing component. The nail-forming component provides screws through a screw supply component 6. The nail-forming component can be a vibratory feeder 5, etc. After the screws are arranged in an orderly manner by the nail-forming component, the arranged screws are sent to the nail-storing component. The nail-storing component includes a nail-storing shell with a nail-storing cavity inside. The nail-storing shell has a screw inlet and a screw outlet that are respectively connected to the nail-storing cavity. The nail-storing cavity is provided with a nail-storing structure with a screw movement channel. The two ends of the screw movement channel are the inlet position corresponding to the screw inlet and the outlet position corresponding to the screw outlet, respectively. When the screw reaches the inlet position of the screw movement channel from the screw inlet, it is pushed to the outlet position by a pusher on the nail-storing component. In this embodiment, the pusher is a push rod extending along the screw movement direction. One end of the push rod is used to push the screw to move, and the other end is connected to a pusher drive component. The pusher drive component can be a cylinder, and the type of pusher drive component can be adjusted according to actual usage needs.

[0037] The upper nail assembly 4 includes a fixed rod 402, a movable sleeve 401 slidably mounted on the fixed rod 402, and an electric screwdriver pull-out assembly connected to the movable sleeve 401. The fixed rod 402 is mounted on the frame 1 via a bracket base 406. This structure facilitates the operator's use of the electric screwdriver 407, eliminating the need to search for its location during use. In this embodiment, the upper nail assembly 4 includes an elastic element (not shown in the figure), which is positioned between the electric screwdriver pull-out assembly and the frame 1 or the fixed rod 402. The force of the elastic element extends axially along the fixed rod 402. The electric screwdriver pull-out assembly has a reset position and a use position. The elastic element automatically resets the electric screwdriver pull-out assembly to the reset position after use, and the reset position is further away from the workpiece to be assembled than the use position along the axial direction of the fixed rod 402. Since most of the weight of the electric screwdriver 407 is borne by the elastic element, the operator only needs to use a small force to hold the electric screwdriver 407, making it labor-saving and safe.

[0038] The electric screwdriver pull-out assembly includes a fixed base 404, a pull-out component, and an electric screwdriver 407. The fixed base 404 is connected to a movable sleeve 401. The pull-out component is slidably mounted on the fixed base 404 along the tangential direction of the movable sleeve 401, and the electric screwdriver 407 is mounted on the pull-out component. By providing the pull-out component, the usable coverage area of ​​the electric screwdriver 407 can be increased, improving the ease of use and practicality of the screwdriver assembly 4.

[0039] Specifically, the fixing base 404 has at least two limiting holes arranged radially along the fixing rod 402. The pull-out component includes a pull-out rod 405, and a pull-out rod 405 is inserted into each limiting hole. In this embodiment, the fixing base 404 has four limiting holes, and a pull-out rod 405 is inserted into each limiting hole. The corresponding ends of each pull-out rod 405 are connected to each other to prevent the pull-out rod 405 from slipping out of the limiting hole. This structure is stable and facilitates the use of the electric screwdriver 407. At the same time, it can keep the electric screwdriver 407 in an upright position at all times, ensuring that the screw remains upright during the screw-tightening process on the part to be assembled, thereby improving the quality of screw tightening.

[0040] In this embodiment, the electric screwdriver pull-out assembly includes a guide post 403, which is disposed on the fixed rod 402. The movable sleeve 401 also has a guide hole, through which the guide post 403 passes. By providing the guide post 403, the movement direction of the movable sleeve 401 can be limited, preventing the movable sleeve 401 from pulling the fixed rod 402 away from its original position due to excessive pulling force, thus ensuring the overall stability of the upper screw assembly 4.

[0041] When using the assembly equipment, parts that need to be installed on the assembly components can be scanned with the barcode scanner 9 before installation. This facilitates the traceability of product assembly and installation, avoids incorrectly installed parts, and allows excess parts to be discarded in the waste disposal and recycling container 8, keeping the operating surface clean and tidy. In this embodiment, the waste disposal and recycling container 8 is equipped with a sensor to detect whether excess parts have been discarded, thus ensuring the smooth completion of each step and preventing products with excess parts not removed from entering the market.

[0042] In this embodiment, the electric screwdriver pull-out assembly, waste disposal and recycling component 8, barcode scanner 9, lifting assembly 7, and transport mechanism 2 on the frame 1 are all housed inside a dust cover to prevent the external environment from affecting the operation of the assembly equipment and to improve the stability of the assembly equipment during operation.

[0043] In summary, by mounting the clamping and positioning mechanism 3 across the transport mechanism 2, the space above the transport mechanism 2 can be made reasonable, while also meeting the clamping requirements for the parts to be assembled, thus maximizing the utilization of the workspace. Furthermore, by setting a second moving component, the force-applying component can be driven to reciprocate between the extension position and the retraction position, avoiding interference with the operator's operation and greatly ensuring the operator's work efficiency.

[0044] 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.
