Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of product assembly, and in particular to a snap-fit ​​assembly device. Background Technology

[0002] A snap-fit ​​structure is a mechanical connection structure, typically composed of two main parts: a snap-fit ​​and a slot. The snap-fit ​​is a protruding part with elastic deformation capabilities, while the slot is a recessed part that mates with the snap-fit ​​to accommodate it and achieve the connection. Snap-fit ​​connections are a quick-connect method, significantly improving assembly efficiency during product assembly. From a production cost perspective, the manufacturing cost of snap-fit ​​structures is relatively low. For products requiring repair, replacement of parts, or recycling, snap-fit ​​connections facilitate disassembly. For molded plastic parts, various types of well-designed snap-fits can provide reliable, high-quality fastening devices, thereby improving product assembly efficiency. However, plastic snap-fits are often designed to be small in size and usually require manual installation. Open-type snap-fits require manual pinching before insertion, which may lead to improper installation or damage due to improper operation.

[0003] Currently, some automatic snap-fit ​​assembly equipment exists. This equipment includes a linear drive mechanism and a snap-fit ​​clamping mechanism. The linear drive mechanism drives the snap-fit ​​clamping mechanism to snap the snap-fit ​​into the snap-fit ​​groove. However, the snap-fit ​​is slightly larger than the snap-fit ​​groove. When the snap-fit ​​is moved linearly by the linear drive mechanism for assembly, there is some interference. The interference point directly bears the impact, making the snap-fit ​​groove and snap-fit ​​easily damaged, reducing the success rate of snap-fit ​​assembly.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a snap-fit ​​assembly device that can solve the problem of the difficulty in snap-fit ​​assembly and improve the success rate of snap-fit ​​assembly. Utility Model Content

[0048] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0049] In the automotive, electronic equipment, and home appliance manufacturing industries, snap-fit ​​devices (1) are used for assembly during product assembly, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the buckle 1 includes a connecting part 12 and two opposing locking parts 11, with the connecting part 12 used to connect the two locking parts 11. Normally, the operator manually squeezes the buckle 1, as... Figure 2 As shown, one of the two snap-fit ​​parts 11 is inserted into the snap-fit ​​groove 31, and the extending direction of the snap-fit ​​part 11 forms an angle with the opening direction of the snap-fit ​​groove 31, as shown. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, rotating the buckle 1 changes the extension direction of the engaging part 11 until the opening direction of the engaging part 11 is the same as that of the engaging groove 31, and the other engaging part 11 extends into the engaging groove 31, thus achieving engagement between the buckle 1 and the workpiece 3 to be engaged. However, manually driving the buckle 1 to engage with the workpiece 3 by the operator results in low engagement efficiency. To solve the above problem, the existing assembly equipment can only linearly drive the buckle clamping mechanism to engage the buckle 1 into the engaging groove 31, which easily leads to collisions with the workpiece 3 to be engaged, thereby damaging both the buckle 1 and the workpiece 3 to be engaged.

[0050] To solve the above problems, such as Figures 2-5As shown, the embodiment provides a buckle assembly device 2, which comprises a driving mechanism 21, a clamping mechanism 22 and a guide 23. The clamping mechanism 22 is used to clamp the buckle 1, and the guide 23 extends along an arc line, while the guide 23 is in sliding connection with the clamping mechanism 22. The output end of the driving mechanism 21 is connected with the clamping mechanism 22, and the driving mechanism 21 can drive the clamping mechanism 22 to slide along the extension direction of the guide 23, so as to adjust the direction of the buckle 1 extending into the clamping groove 31. When the buckle 1 is to be clamped into the clamping groove 31, the driving mechanism 21 first moves the clamping mechanism 22 to one end (hereinafter referred to as the first end) of the guide 23, clamps one of the two clamping portions 11 into the clamping groove 31, and then drives the clamping mechanism 22 to slide along the guide 23 to the opposite end (hereinafter referred to as the second end) of the guide 23 through the driving mechanism 21. In the process of sliding the clamping mechanism 22 to the second end, the extension direction of the clamping portion 11 also changes, thereby realizing the clamping between the buckle 1 and the to-be-clamped member 3. Compared with the existing buckle 1 which can only be driven along a straight line, in the embodiment, the clamping mechanism 22 can move along the extension direction of the guide 23 in an arc trajectory, so that the extension direction of the clamping portion 11 also changes in an arc trajectory, and the change of the extension direction of the clamping portion 11 simulates the manual assembly operation, avoids the non-assembly part of the to-be-clamped member 3, and avoids the damage to the to-be-clamped member 3 caused by the buckle 1 breaking through the to-be-clamped member.

[0051] Specifically, as shown in the drawings, Figures 5-6 In the embodiment, the clamping mechanism 22 comprises a sliding groove, and the guide 23 comprises a guide rail, the sliding groove and the guide rail are in sliding cooperation, and among the two mutually cooperating sliding groove and guide rail, one is recessed to form a recess 231, the extension direction of the recess 231 is consistent with the extension direction of the guide 23, and the other is provided with a protrusion 2211 matched with the recess 231, the extension direction of the protrusion 2211 is the same as the extension direction of the guide 23. When the sliding groove and the guide rail slide through the cooperation of the recess 231 and the protrusion 2211, this structure can accurately limit the sliding direction of the clamping mechanism 22. Because the extension directions of the recess 231 and the protrusion 2211 are the same as the extension direction of the guide 23, it can be ensured that the clamping mechanism 22 moves along the predetermined arc direction on the guide 23, avoiding deviation in other directions, thereby improving the assembly accuracy of the buckle 1 and improving the success rate of clamping the buckle 1 with the to-be-clamped member 3.

[0052] Optionally, as shown in the drawings, Figures 5-6As shown, in this embodiment, the opposite side walls of the slide groove are provided with protrusions 2211, and the opposite side walls of the guide rail that mate with the slide groove are provided with recesses 231. These features limit movement in two directions perpendicular to the extension direction of the guide member 23, preventing the clamping mechanism 22 from disengaging from the guide member 23 and improving the guiding effect between the clamping mechanism 22 and the guide member 23. In other embodiments, the protrusions 2211 can be provided on the guide rail, and the recesses 231 can be provided on the opposite side walls of the slide groove, as long as the guiding effect of the guide member 23 on the clamping mechanism 22 is improved.

[0053] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the clamping mechanism 22 includes a sliding platform 221 and a clamping assembly 222. The sliding platform 221 is slidably connected to the guide member 23, and the clamping assembly 222 is connected to the sliding platform 221. The clamping assembly 222 is used to clamp the buckle 1. The sliding connection between the sliding platform 221 and the guide member 23 provides a precise movement trajectory for the clamping assembly 222. When assembling the buckle 1, it ensures that the clamping assembly 222 moves along a predetermined direction, thereby accurately assembling the buckle 1 into the snap-fit ​​component. The clamping assembly 222 is used to clamp the buckle 1, enabling it to quickly grasp the buckle 1 and move it to the assembly position. The clamping assembly 222 significantly improves production efficiency and reduces assembly time.

[0054] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the clamping assembly 222 includes a clamping drive 2221 and two clamping members 2222 arranged opposite to each other. The two clamping members 2222 are connected to the clamping drive 2221. The clamping drive 2221 drives the two clamping members 2222 to move closer to each other, so that the clamping assembly 222 can clamp the buckle 1. The clamping drive 2221 can drive the two oppositely arranged clamping members 2222 to move closer to each other. This structure can achieve precise clamping of the buckle 1, avoiding appearance defects or unstable internal component connections caused by inaccurate positioning of the buckle 1, and ensuring the overall quality of the product. By adjusting the driving stroke of the clamping drive 2221, the spacing between the two clamping members 2222 can be changed, thereby adapting to buckles 1 of different sizes.

[0055] Optionally, such as Figure 5 As shown, the clamping drive 2221 can be a first cylinder. The output force of the first cylinder mainly depends on the air source pressure and the piston area. By adjusting the air source pressure, the output force of the first cylinder can be precisely controlled. The output force range of the first cylinder is wide, which can meet the needs of various working conditions. The first cylinder can provide sufficient force by selecting appropriate size and working pressure. In other embodiments, the clamping drive 2221 can also be a first electric push rod or a first electromagnetic actuator, etc., as long as it can clamp the buckle 1.

[0056] Specifically, such as Figures 2-7 As shown, in this embodiment, the clamping assembly 222 also includes two auxiliary components 2223. The auxiliary components 2223 are disposed on the side of the clamping component 2222 facing the snap-fit ​​groove 31. When the two clamping components 2222 clamp the fixed connection part 12, the two auxiliary components 2223 can drive the two snap-fit ​​parts 11 to move closer to each other, so that the snap-fit ​​1 can be more easily inserted into the snap-fit ​​groove 31. At the same time, they can also cooperate with the clamping component 2222 to provide better clamping force for the snap-fit ​​1. Since the auxiliary components 2223 can work together with the clamping component 2222, the snap-fit ​​1 is not easy to fall off the clamping component 2222, making the installation process of the snap-fit ​​1 smoother. Compared with the case without auxiliary components 2223, the snap-fit ​​1 can be installed into the corresponding slot more smoothly.

[0057] Specifically, such as Figures 2-7 As shown, in this embodiment, when the clamping assembly 222 clamps the buckle 1, the distance between the two auxiliary parts 2223 is less than the distance between the two snap-fit ​​parts 11 in their natural state. The clamping part 2222 has a clamping and fixing effect on the buckle 1, and the auxiliary parts 2223 also have a clamping and fixing effect on the buckle 1, so as to pre-press the buckle 1, improve the clamping and fixing effect of the clamping assembly 222 on the buckle 1, and prevent the buckle 1 from coming off the clamping assembly 222. The pre-pressing ensures that the buckle 1 is secure even if subjected to a certain external force during the subsequent assembly process. Interference prevents the buckle 1 from easily becoming loose. To ensure that the buckle 1 can be more tightly engaged with the component 3 to be engaged, the size of the buckle 1 needs to be larger than the size that just fits into the engagement slot 31, which will increase the assembly difficulty. By clamping the buckle 1 with the clamping component 222, the clamping component 222 can provide a greater clamping force than manual clamping, which makes the pre-pressure of the buckle 1 when clamping the buckle 1 greater, reducing the assembly difficulty of the buckle 1 and enabling the engagement part 11 of the buckle 1 to fit more tightly with the engagement slot 31.

[0058] Optionally, such as Figures 5-7 As shown, in this embodiment, the inner distance between the two auxiliary parts 2223 is smaller than the inner distance between the two clamping parts 2222. When the clamping assembly 222 clamps the buckle 1, the distance between the two auxiliary parts 2223 is smaller than the distance between the two snap-fit ​​parts 11 in the natural state. This makes the two clamping parts 2222 contact the end of the snap-fit ​​part 11 connected to the connecting part 12, and the two auxiliary parts 2223 contact the other end of the snap-fit ​​part 11. This makes it difficult for the buckle 1 to fall off the clamping assembly 222, thereby reducing the assembly difficulty of the buckle 1.

[0059] Specifically, such as Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, the driving mechanism 21 comprises a hinged seat 212 and a linear driving assembly 211, the linear driving assembly 211 is rotationally connected with the hinged seat 212, the output end of the linear driving assembly 211 is hingedly connected with the clamping mechanism 22, and the linear driving assembly 211 is rotationally connected with the hinged seat 212, which enables the linear driving assembly 211 to change the angle within a certain range, just like the rotation of the human arm joint, and this structure can make the driving mechanism 21 adapt to the guide 23 extending along the arc, so that the sliding platform 221 can better slide along the extension direction of the guide 23.

[0060] Preferably, as Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the clamping mechanism 22 further comprises a connecting piece 224, the connecting piece 224 is rotationally connected with the sliding platform 221 and is hingedly connected with the linear driving assembly 211, through the double connection of the connecting piece 224 and the rotation connection with the sliding platform 221, the force transmission path becomes more diversified. The force of the linear driving assembly 211 can be transmitted to the clamping mechanism 22 at different angles and directions through the connecting piece 224, so that the buckle 1 can be assembled through the sliding of the sliding platform 221 on the guide 23.

[0061] Optionally, as Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the linear driving assembly 211 can be a second air cylinder 2111, the output force of the second air cylinder 2111 mainly depends on the gas source pressure and the piston area, by adjusting the gas source pressure, the output force of the second air cylinder 2111 can be accurately controlled, the output force range of the second air cylinder 2111 is wide, which can meet the needs of various working conditions, and the second air cylinder 2111 can provide sufficient force by selecting appropriate size and working pressure. In other embodiments, the linear driving assembly 211 can also be a second electric push rod or a second electromagnetic driver, etc., as long as it can drive the sliding platform 221 to slide along the guide 23.

[0062] Specifically, as Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the buckle assembly device 2 further comprises two limiting mechanisms 24, the limiting mechanisms 24 are arranged at both ends of the guide 23 along the extension direction thereof, and the clamping mechanism 22 can abut against the limiting mechanisms 24, the limiting mechanisms 24 are used for limiting the sliding range of the clamping mechanism 22, which can effectively avoid the over-sliding of the clamping mechanism 22 on the guide 23. During the operation of the buckle assembly device 2, due to the fluctuation of the power system or external vibration and other factors, the clamping mechanism 22 may slide out of control, and the limiting mechanisms 24 can prevent this situation from happening, ensuring that the clamping mechanism 22 always moves within the specified range, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the device.

[0063] Specifically, as Figure 5As shown, in the embodiment, the limiting mechanism 24 comprises a limiting block 241 and a buffer 242, the buffer 242 is arranged on the limiting block 241 and faces the clamping mechanism 22. The buffer 242 is connected with the limiting block 241, the buffer 242 has elasticity, the clamping mechanism 22 can abut against the buffer 242, and the buffer 242 can buffer the clamping mechanism 22.

[0064] Optionally, as Figure 5 As shown, in the embodiment, the buffer 242 is a hydraulic buffer, when the sliding platform 221 slides to the limiting mechanism 24, the moving part pushes the piston rod, so that the piston moves in the cylinder. The piston extrudes the hydraulic oil, since the hydraulic oil is almost incompressible, it flows through the throttle hole or damping channel arranged in advance in the cylinder. In this process, the impact energy is converted into the heat energy and kinetic energy of the hydraulic oil, which is consumed through the damping effect, so as to slow down the speed of the moving part, and the buffering effect is achieved.

[0065] In other embodiments, the buffer 242 can also be a spring buffer, which comprises a spring and an abutting block. One end of the spring is connected with the limiting block 241, and the other end thereof is connected with the abutting block. The spring generally adopts a cylindrical coil spring. When the equipment is impacted, the clamping mechanism 22 contacts and extrudes the spring, the spring is elastically deformed under the pressure, and the impact energy is converted into the elastic potential energy of the spring and stored. With the compression of the spring, the impact force is gradually absorbed. When the impact ends, the spring releases the stored elastic potential energy, so that the moving part returns to the original position, thereby achieving the buffering effect.

[0066] Specifically, the spring buffer further comprises a guide sleeve for accommodating the spring, and has a connecting device for facilitating installation on the limiting block 241. The guide sleeve provides a precise constraint path, avoiding the radial deviation, twisting or skewing of the spring during expansion and contraction. Meanwhile, the guide sleeve connected with the limiting block 241 can also limit the clamping mechanism 22.

[0067] In other embodiments, the buffer 242 is made of an elastic material. When the sliding platform 221 slides to the limiting mechanism 24, the moving part contacts the buffer 242, and the buffer 242 is elastically deformed under the pressure. The elastic deformation of the buffer 242 absorbs the impact energy and converts it into the elastic potential energy inside the buffer 242. Similarly to the spring buffer, after the impact ends, the buffer 242 returns to the original state and releases the elastic potential energy. Exemplarily, the elastic material can be rubber, silicone or elastic plastic, etc., as long as it can buffer the clamping mechanism 22. In other embodiments, the buffer 242 can also have other structures, as long as it can buffer the clamping mechanism 22.

[0068] Preferably, as Figure 5As shown, in the embodiment, the clamping mechanism 22 further comprises a limiting piece 223, which is arranged on the upper portion of the sliding platform 221, and the buffer piece 242 is arranged at the same height as the limiting piece 223, and the limiting piece 223 can abut against the buffer piece 242. Since the limiting piece 223 is arranged on the upper portion of the sliding platform 221, interference between the connecting piece 224 and the buffer piece 242 is avoided. If there is no limiting piece 223, the buffer piece 242 will be in contact with the sliding platform 221, and at this time, the connecting piece 224 arranged on the sliding platform 221 will easily interfere with the buffer piece 242, affecting the buffering effect of the buffer piece 242. Therefore, the limiting piece 223 arranged on the upper portion of the sliding platform 221 can reduce unnecessary friction and collision between components, and each component of the equipment can work in a relatively good state.

[0069] Specifically, in the embodiment, the buckle assembly device 2 further comprises a fixing seat and a fixing seat driving piece, the fixing seat is used for fixing the to-be-buckled piece 3, and the fixing seat driving piece can drive the to-be-buckled piece 3 to approach the buckle 1, so that one of the buckling portions 11 can be buckled into the buckling groove 31, and then the subsequent buckling operation can be smoothly performed. The fixing seat can fix the to-be-buckled piece 3, and ensure that the position of the to-be-buckled piece 3 is stable during assembly. During the assembly of the buckle 1, even a slight positional deviation can cause buckling failure or assembly quality decline. Through the fixing seat, the to-be-buckled piece 3 is accurately fixed at a specific position, so that the buckling groove 31 on the to-be-buckled piece 3 can be accurately aligned with the buckle 1, avoiding assembly errors caused by inaccurate positions, thereby improving the assembly precision of the product.

[0070] Specifically, in the embodiment, the first end of the guide piece 23 is radially at an angle to the opening direction of the buckling groove 31, and the second end of the guide piece 23 corresponds to a normal line that is directly opposite to the buckling groove 31. The first end of the guide piece 23 is radially at an angle to the opening direction of the buckling groove 31, so that at the initial stage of assembly, the to-be-buckled piece 3 can be accurately aligned with the buckling groove 31 along the guide piece 23, like a train running along a track, reducing buckling failure caused by positional deviation, and improving the success rate of buckling and assembly quality. The second end corresponds to a normal line that is directly opposite to the buckling groove 31. During buckling, with the movement of the to-be-buckled piece 3, the change of the angle can guide the to-be-buckled piece 3 to gradually adjust the angle, so as to better adapt to the shape and position of the buckling groove 31.

[0071] Specifically, as Figures 2-5As shown, in the present embodiment, the buckle assembly device 2 further comprises a detection member 25 arranged on the clamping assembly 222 for detecting whether the buckle 1 is clamped by the clamping assembly 222. Without the detection member 25, the situation that the clamping assembly 222 fails to clamp the buckle 1 successfully but the device still performs subsequent assembly actions may occur, which may result in assembly failure or damage to the buckle 1 and other components. Knowing accurately that the buckle 1 is clamped can ensure that each buckle 1 enters the assembly process in a correct initial state and can ensure that it is accurately clamped into the corresponding clamping groove 31 for cooperation, thereby reducing assembly defects caused by inaccurate position of the buckle 1.

[0072] Optionally, in the present embodiment, the detection member 25 is a self-reflection photoelectric sensor. The self-reflection photoelectric sensor generally comprises a transmitter and a receiver. The light emitted by the transmitter is directed to the target object, and the light reflected by the target object is received by the receiver. When the buckle 1 is clamped by the clamping assembly 222, the buckle 1 changes the reflection path or the reflection intensity of the light, and the light signal received by the receiver changes, so that whether the buckle 1 is in the clamped state can be determined. If the buckle 1 is not clamped, there may be no light reflected back to the receiver; and when the buckle 1 is clamped, the surface characteristics or position of the buckle 1 change, which changes the angle and intensity of the reflected light, and the receiver detects the change to identify that the buckle 1 has been clamped. The self-reflection photoelectric sensor can provide high-precision detection results. It can achieve sensitive detection of slight changes by precisely adjusting the positions, angles and optical parameters of the transmitter and the receiver. When detecting whether the buckle 1 is clamped, even slight changes in the position or state of the buckle 1 can be accurately captured by the sensor, thereby ensuring accurate judgment of the clamped state. In other embodiments, the detection member 25 can also be an inductive proximity sensor or a capacitive proximity sensor, as long as it can detect whether the buckle 1 is clamped by the clamping assembly 222.

[0073] Optionally, in the present embodiment, the buckle 1 is made of plastic. During the assembly of the buckle 1, the clamping mechanism 22 may not be able to accurately operate the buckle 1 due to factors such as device precision or operation. However, the elasticity of the plastic buckle 1 enables it to adapt to such clamping errors to a certain extent. The plastic buckle 1 can compensate for these deficiencies through its own elastic deformation and still remain intact without being damaged by slight errors, thereby ensuring that the assembly process can proceed smoothly. During multiple uses of the buckle 1, such as disassembly and reinstallation of the product, the elasticity of the plastic enables it to withstand repeated deformation without being easily damaged. After each deformation of the buckle 1, it can recover to its original shape or a shape close to the original shape. This elastic recovery capability enables the buckle 1 to withstand multiple assembly cycles. In other embodiments, the buckle 1 can also be made of thermoplastic elastomer or rubber, as long as it can withstand deformation without being easily damaged.
