Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of assembly machinery technology, and in particular relates to a rotary locking assembly device. Background Technology

[0002] In automated production lines, robotic arms are typically used to assemble parts, such as using industrial robots to tighten screws, thereby replacing manual labor and improving production efficiency and quality.

[0003] For example, Chinese invention patent document CN115502710B discloses an automatic screw fastening device and an automatic assembly system, including: a moving module, an installation platform coupled to the moving module, and multiple screw fastening modules disposed on the installation platform. The moving module is used to drive the installation platform to move along a first direction. The screw fastening module includes: a rotating head, a rotating drive component, and a telescopic spring-loaded device. One end of the rotating head is used to be coupled to a screw. The output end of the rotating drive component is coupled to the other end of the rotating head. The fixed end of the telescopic spring-loaded device is installed on the installation platform, and the telescopic end of the telescopic spring-loaded device is coupled to the rotating drive component. The telescopic spring-loaded device is used to drive the rotating drive component to move along the first direction.

[0004] The installation platform includes an installation section and a clamping section; the installation section is coupled to the mobile module, and the fixed end of the telescopic rebound device is fixedly connected; the clamping section is movably connected to the installation section, and the clamping section is used to clamp the first assembly.

[0005] The clamping part includes a gripper and a first translation drive device; the fixed end of the first translation drive device is mounted on the mounting part, and the telescopic end of the first translation drive device is coupled to the gripper for driving the gripper to move along a second direction so that the gripper can clamp and release under the drive of the first translation drive device; the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0006] The mobile module includes a second translation drive device and a power device; the fixed end of the second translation drive device is connected to the power device, and the telescopic end of the second translation drive device is coupled to the mounting platform; the second translation drive device is used to drive the mounting platform to move along a first direction; the power device is used to cooperate with the automatic assembly system to move along a second direction and a third direction, the third direction being perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction, respectively.

[0007] By setting multiple screw-locking modules, each with a rotating head coupled to the output end of a rotary drive, and by setting the same torque for the multiple rotary drives of the multiple screw-locking modules, the same torque is applied to the multiple screws, ensuring uniform force distribution on the screws. Furthermore, by incorporating a telescopic spring-loaded device connected to the rotary drive, when the mounting platform moves the rotating head close to the screw tip, if the first assembly is tilted relative to other assemblies, the telescopic spring-loaded device provides the rotating head with a flexible space for vertical movement. This allows the rotating head to adaptively extend and retract, ensuring proper engagement between the rotating head and the screw, thus achieving uniform force distribution on the multiple screws during the locking process.

[0008] In the aforementioned patent documents, the technical solution relies on a rotating head to pick up the screw, a rotating drive mechanism to drive the screw to rotate, and a second translation drive device to drive the rotating head to descend, thereby achieving screw locking. However, using the second translation drive device to drive the lifting and lowering makes it difficult to control the height of the screw, and applying pressure to the screw using the second translation drive device can result in excessive driving force, causing damage to parts, especially light and brittle products.

The bottom end of the lifting shaft is provided with an adsorption hole, and the bottom end of the adsorption hole is provided with a positioning part. The lifting seat is sleeved on the lifting shaft and slidably connected to the mounting plate.

The lifting seat is provided with rollers, which are supported only by gravity on the track surface. The height detection component is located on the mounting plate and is used to detect the height position of the lifting seat.

[0011] Furthermore, the height detection component includes a connecting block, a grating reading head, and a grating ruler; the grating ruler is located on one side of the lifting seat, the connecting block is located on one side of the mounting plate, and the grating reading head is located on the connecting block for reading the value of the grating ruler.

[0018] The rotary locking assembly device provided in this utility model embodiment has at least the following technical effects:

[0019] During the locking assembly process, the locking attachment is adsorbed into the suction hole. A lifting drive motor drives the cam to rotate. As the roller gradually contacts the lowest point of the cam, the lifting seat descends due to gravity, and the lifting shaft and the locking attachment at the bottom of the lifting shaft also descend together. This allows the locking attachment to contact another assembly component. With the continued rotation of the cam, the roller disengages from the guide rail surface, ensuring the assembly component is only subjected to the weight of the lifting seat, lifting shaft, and locking attachment, and the force is always uniform, preventing damage from excessive stress. A rotary drive motor drives the rotary shaft to rotate. Through the cooperation of the first limiting surface or limiting component of the rotary shaft with the second limiting surface of the lifting shaft, the lifting shaft rotates together. With the cooperation of the positioning part and the locking attachment, the locking attachment rotates together, connecting the locking attachment to the assembly component. Simultaneously, the locking attachment descends. The height detection component detects the descent height of the lifting seat and thus the descent height of the locking attachment, allowing for accurate control of the locking attachment's assembly height and improving assembly precision and quality.

[0030] In one embodiment of the rotary locking assembly device of this utility model, please refer to... Figures 1 to 5The rotary locking assembly device of this embodiment is used to be installed on a moving mechanism to realize the automatic assembly of workpieces. Specifically, the rotary locking assembly device of this embodiment includes a mounting base 100 and at least one set of rotary assembly mechanisms disposed on one side of the mounting base 100. The rotary assembly mechanism includes a motor base 200, a rotary drive motor 300, a rotary shaft 400, a lifting shaft 500, a lifting drive motor 600, a cam 700, a lifting seat 800, and a height detection component 900. A mounting plate 110 is provided on one side of the mounting base 100, the motor base 200 is disposed on one side of the mounting plate 110, the rotary drive motor 300 is disposed on the motor base 200, and the rotary shaft 400 is connected to the main shaft of the rotary drive motor 300 and rotatably connected to the motor base 200. The rotary shaft 400 has a central hole that extends through the bottom end of the rotary shaft 400; the central hole has a first limiting surface or the rotary shaft has a limiting member 410. The upper end of the lifting shaft 500 slides into the central hole. The lifting shaft 500 is provided with a second limiting surface, which cooperates with the first limiting surface or the limiting member 410, so that the lifting shaft 500 can only move up and down relative to the rotating shaft 400. Specifically, when the rotating shaft 400 rotates, it can drive the lifting shaft 500 to rotate together. The bottom end of the lifting shaft 500 is provided with an adsorption hole 501, and the bottom end of the adsorption hole 501 is provided with a positioning part 502; the lock accessory to be assembled can be positioned in the adsorption hole 501, and the positioning part 502 limits the lock accessory, so that the lock accessory can rotate with the lifting shaft 500. The lifting seat 800 is sleeved on the lifting shaft 500 and slidably connected to the mounting plate 110. The lifting seat 800 is provided with an air pipe 810, which communicates with the adsorption hole 501 and is used to connect a negative pressure device. Therefore, a negative pressure device can be used to generate negative pressure in the adsorption hole 501. The lifting drive motor 600 is located on one side of the mounting plate 110, and the cam 700 is located on the lifting drive motor 600. The outer edge of the cam 700 is provided with a track surface 701. The lifting seat 800 is provided with rollers 820, which are supported on the track surface 701 by gravity alone. The height detection component 900 is located on the mounting plate 100 and is used to detect the height position of the lifting seat 800.

[0031] Furthermore, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The rotating assembly mechanism consists of two sets, symmetrically arranged on one side of the mounting plate 110. This improves assembly efficiency.

[0032] Specifically, in the rotary locking assembly device of the above embodiment, during the locking assembly process, the locking attachment is adsorbed in the adsorption hole 501. The lifting drive motor 600 drives the cam 700 to rotate. As the roller 820 gradually contacts the lowest point of the cam 700 from the highest point, the lifting seat 800 drops due to gravity. The lifting shaft 500 and the locking attachment at the bottom of the lifting shaft 500 also drop together, allowing the locking attachment to contact another assembly. As the cam 700 continues to rotate, the roller disengages from the track surface 701, allowing the assembly to support the locking attachment. The assembly is only subjected to the gravity of the lifting seat 800, the lifting shaft 500, and the locking attachment, and the force is always uniform, avoiding the problem of excessive force causing damage to the assembly. A rotary drive motor drives a rotary shaft to rotate. The first limiting surface of the rotary shaft 400 or the limiting member 410 cooperates with the second limiting surface of the lifting shaft 500, causing the lifting shaft 500 to rotate together. With the cooperation of the positioning part 502 and the lock accessory, the lock accessory is also rotated, thereby connecting the lock accessory to the assembly. As the lock accessory rotates, it also descends. The height detection component 900 detects the descent height of the lifting seat 800, thereby detecting the descent height of the lock accessory. This allows for accurate control of the assembly height of the lock accessory, improving the precision and quality of the assembly.

[0033] Furthermore, referring to Figure 3 The height detection component 900 includes a connecting block 901, a grating reading head 902, and a grating ruler 903. The grating ruler 903 is located on one side of the lifting platform 800, the connecting block 901 is located on one side of the mounting plate 110, and the grating reading head 902 is located on the connecting block 901 for reading the value of the grating ruler 903. Specifically, when the lifting platform 800 is raised or lowered, the grating reading head 902 is relatively displaced relative to the grating ruler 903 and can read the scale in real time, thereby controlling the raising and lowering height of the lifting platform 800.

[0034] Furthermore, refer to Figure 2 The mounting plate 110 has a support block 120 on its bottom side, and a reference surface 121 on its bottom side. The reference surface 121 is used to support the reference boss on the worktable. Specifically, in this embodiment, when assembling the lock accessory with another part, the reference surface 121 first supports it on the reference of the worktable to ensure the assembly reference, and then the rotary locking assembly device completes the assembly, further improving the assembly accuracy.

[0035] Furthermore, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The outer edge of the cam 700 is also provided with a groove 702 to prevent the roller 820 from being pulled. Specifically, when the locking attachment adsorbed in the adsorption hole 501 is connected to the assembly, as the cam 700 continues to rotate, the roller 820 will be located above the groove 702, preventing the roller 820 from contacting the track surface 701 and causing interference in the assembly.

[0036] Furthermore, refer to Figure 3 The bottom side of the rotating shaft 400 is provided with a mounting groove 401, and the limiting member 410 includes two rollers disposed in the mounting groove 401, forming a limiting gap between the two rollers. The upper end of the lifting shaft 500 is provided with a flat part 501 passing through the limiting gap; the side of the rotating shaft 400 is also provided with a through-hole 402. Therefore, the friction of the lifting shaft 500 during lifting can be reduced, making the downward movement of the lifting shaft 500 under the action of gravity smoother.

[0037] Furthermore, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The lifting shaft 500 is provided with a transition position 503, and the lifting seat 800 is provided with a connecting hole 801. The transition position 503 is rotatably connected to the connecting hole 801, and the air pipe 810 is connected to the connecting hole 801. The transition position 503 is provided with multiple air holes 504, which are used to connect the adsorption hole 501 and the air pipe 810. This ensures that the adsorption hole 501 is connected to the negative pressure device when rotating.

[0038] Furthermore, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 A copper sleeve 510 is rotatably fitted onto the adapter 503. The copper sleeve 510 is fixedly connected to the connecting hole 801. A through hole 511 is provided on the outer side of the copper sleeve 510, which communicates with the air pipe 810. In this embodiment, the wear of the lifting shaft 500 during rotation can be reduced, and the airtightness of the connection between the adsorption hole 501 and the air pipe 810 can be ensured.

[0039] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
