Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of automotive mechanical design, and in particular to a fully automatic assembly equipment for automotive headrest guide sleeves. Background Technology

[0002] The biggest challenge in assembling automotive headrest guide sleeves is that it is difficult for manual workers to place the support rods and springs in the designated positions for assembly. The rebound force of the headrest guide sleeve buttons is a key factor affecting user suitability and comfort. Therefore, a pressure detection mechanism is added to the headrest guide sleeve assembly process to ensure the production of high-quality products, hence the development of automatic guide sleeve assembly equipment.

[0003] Existing technologies primarily focus on the assembly of automotive headrest guide sleeves, without testing the rebound force of the headrest guide sleeve buttons. Therefore, they are not entirely applicable to manufacturers of headrest guide sleeve components. To address these shortcomings, this invention develops a specialized device for testing the rebound force of various automotive headrest guide sleeve assemblies and buttons, reducing the labor intensity of manual assembly and improving enterprise production efficiency. Utility Model Content

The frame assembly includes a frame body, an emergency stop starter, a safety light curtain, and a controller. The emergency stop starter, safety light curtain, and controller are mounted on the frame body. The equipment also includes a support rod assembly, a material handling device, a contour positioning assembly, and a headrest guide sleeve elasticity detection device. The feeding device, spring assembly device, button assembly device, support rod placement assembly, eight-point turntable device, support rod detection device, button rebound force detection device, support rod assembly, material handling device, contour positioning assembly, and headrest guide sleeve elasticity detection device are all mounted on the frame. The headrest guide sleeve elasticity detection device consists of an elasticity detection module and a No. 16 cylinder. In use, the operator places the product on the contour positioning component for positioning, then operates the spring assembly device to assemble the springs, followed by the button assembly device to assemble the buttons. The support rod placement component then clamps and moves the support rod onto the contour positioning component. The support rod assembly device then installs the support rod onto the product. The headrest guide sleeve elasticity detection device detects the product's rebound force, and the button rebound force detection device detects the product's button rebound force. A material handling device removes and transfers waste material, and the No. 16 cylinder presses the product firmly. At this point, the elasticity detection module moves downwards and detects the product's rebound force.
