Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of home appliance component processing, specifically to an aluminum handle plastic end cap assembly device. Background Technology

[0002] Aluminum profiles are commonly used in the manufacture of components for home appliances, such as handles. These often involve bending aluminum profiles and then machining them. The connection between the aluminum profile handle and the appliance body requires connectors, such as end caps embedded in the end of the aluminum profile cavity, which are then bolted together to connect the handle to the appliance body.

[0003] The handle end cap is made of plastic. In the traditional process, workers need to place the plastic end cap on the cavity of the aluminum handle end, place the handle under the press, and then operate the cylinder head to press down, embedding the end cap into the cavity of the aluminum handle profile. The clamp-like structure on the press head causes local deformation of the end cap, firmly attaching the end cap to the handle. Each handle requires this process to be performed at both ends. The assembly time for each handle end cap component is approximately at least 30 seconds. When assembling a large quantity, this will consume a significant amount of manual labor. Furthermore, workers need to operate the cylinder head themselves during the process, leading to frequent fatigue. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This utility model provides an assembly device for aluminum handle end caps in household appliances, specifically designed for the installation, embedding, and pressing of aluminum handle end caps. This significantly improves operational efficiency, reduces manual labor, and alleviates labor intensity, preventing fatigue.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0006] An assembly device for aluminum handle end caps of household appliances is provided. End seats are respectively provided at both ends of the base plate. The grooves of the end seats match the shape of the two ends of the handle. A cylinder is provided above the end seats. The piston rod end of the cylinder is connected to a clamp head and a spring pressure head through a connecting plate. The clamp head and the spring pressure head are matched with the position of the end cap.

[0007] Place both ends of the handle into the grooves of the end seat for positioning. Then, press down the cylinders at both ends, and the clamp head and spring pressure head press down simultaneously. The clamp head is used to cause local deformation of the end cap, and the spring pressure head presses the other end of the end cap tightly, so that the end cap will not tilt due to local pressure, resulting in a flatter assembly.

[0008] Induction switches are installed on the inner side of the end base, and the positions of the induction switches are matched with the bottom surface of the middle part of the handle. When the induction switch detects that the workpiece is placed in the handle, the microcontroller receives the signal and triggers the solenoid valve of the cylinder, and the cylinder automatically presses down without manual control, which can reduce the labor intensity of manual control.

[0009] Guide posts are mounted on the upper surface of the connecting plate, with the upper ends of the guide posts passing through guide holes in the mounting base plate of the cylinder. The guiding and limiting function of the guide posts and guide holes allows for more precise and stable downward pressure of the cylinder's piston rod.
