Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an automated assembly equipment, and more specifically, to an automatic assembly machine for fire alarm bases. Background Technology

[0002] Figure 1 This is an existing type of fire alarm base, which can be used to install alarm buttons and audible and visual alarms. The fire alarm base mainly consists of a base body 101 and multiple conductive terminals 103 mounted on the base body 101. The structural feature is that six conductive terminals 103 are centrally symmetrically distributed on the base body 101, and each conductive terminal 103 is fixed with a nut 102 and a screw 104. Furthermore, the nuts 102 and screws 104 are located on the front and back sides of the base body 101, respectively. Generally, the nuts 102 are first pressed into the nut mounting groove on the back of the base body 101, and then the base body 101 is flipped to the front to install the conductive terminals 103 and screws 104.

[0003] With the rapid development of automation technology, the use of automated assembly equipment to replace manual assembly has become an inevitable trend. This is especially true for fire alarm bases, where traditional manual assembly is extremely inefficient, labor-intensive, and prone to problems such as missing or loose screws. While many automated assembly machines exist for similar products, such as the product base spring sheet assembly-waxing production line disclosed in patent publication CN116117514A, which includes a product feeding mechanism, a product conveying track, a nut assembly mechanism, a spring sheet assembly mechanism, a screw assembly mechanism, a product flipping mechanism, and a wax sealing mechanism, the product feeding mechanism is connected to one end of the product conveying track, and the other end of the product conveying track is connected to the wax sealing mechanism via the product flipping mechanism. The nut assembly mechanism, spring sheet assembly mechanism, and screw assembly mechanism are sequentially arranged along the product conveying track. This patent application enables nut back pressure, spring sheet installation, and screw tightening, achieving automated assembly of the spring sheet (i.e., conductive terminal) on the base. However, in order to reduce the base flipping action, it requires a complex nut back pressure design, which increases the structural complexity of the nut assembly process; in addition, the base product it is designed for only requires two centrally symmetrically set spring plates, and there is no need to adjust the angle of the base. Therefore, this device is not suitable for assembling the fire alarm base with multiple centrally symmetrically distributed conductive terminals.

[0004] Based on the aforementioned problems with existing technologies, it is necessary to design a dedicated automatic assembly machine to meet the assembly requirements of the fire alarm base. Summary of the Invention

After flipping, the terminal installation and screw tightening actions are completed in sequence. There is no need to use a complex nut back pressure design, which makes the structure of the automatic assembly machine for fire alarm bases simpler and the assembly work more stable and efficient. Furthermore, rotating positioning seats are provided on the nut pressing device, terminal installation device and screw tightening device, which can control the rotation of the base body to switch the assembly position, and can meet the automated assembly of bases with multiple assembly positions.

[0056] [Example]

[0057] This embodiment uses Figure 1 Taking the assembly of the fire alarm base shown as an example, the base body 101 of the fire alarm base has a square structure with a circular through hole in the center, which can be used for positioning by the structure of the base body 101 itself; the base body 101 has multiple terminal mounting slots, and conductive terminals 103 are fixedly installed using nuts 102 and screws 104 respectively.

The base feeding device 2 is located at the station before the nut pressing station, and the base transfer device 3 sequentially transfers the base body 101 within the base feeding device 2 between the nut pressing station, the terminal mounting station, and the screw tightening station. Wherein:

[0058] like Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the base transfer device 3 has gripper mechanisms 33 corresponding to each workstation.

This allows for the flipping of the base body 101 between the nut pressing station and the terminal installation station, enabling positive pressure on the nut pressing surface of the base, and sequentially completing terminal installation and screw tightening actions after flipping. This eliminates the need for a complex nut back pressure design, simplifying the structure of the automatic fire alarm base assembly machine and making the assembly work more stable and efficient.

The nut gripping slide 4-7 grips the nut 102 on the nut positioning seat 4-3 and presses it into the nut mounting groove of the base body 101. In this way, positive pressure pressing of the nut is achieved. After assembly at one assembly position of the base body 101, the first rotating positioning seat 4-10 can be used to rotate the base body 101 by a set angle to switch to other assembly positions.

The screw gripping block 6-9 grips the screw 104 on the screw positioning seat 6-3 and moves it to the screw hole of the base body 101. The screw tightening mechanism has an electric screwdriver 6-14 for tightening the screw 104 to the nut 102 on the back of the base body 101. During the screw tightening process, the screw gripping mechanism can fix the screw 104, keeping the screw 104 vertically above the corresponding nut 102, ensuring the tightening accuracy of the electric screwdriver 6-14. After installing screw 104 at one assembly position of the base body 101, the third rotating positioning seat can be used to drive the base body 101 to rotate at a set angle and switch to other assembly positions.

[0062] The fire alarm base automatic assembly machine described above is equipped with rotating positioning seats on the nut pressing device 4, terminal mounting device 5 and screw tightening device 6. These seats can control the rotation of the base body 101 to switch the assembly position, thus enabling the automated assembly of bases with multiple assembly positions.

[0063] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, the aforementioned base loading device 2 includes a lower frame 21, and a pushing and storing mechanism 22, a discharging mechanism 23, and a direction adjustment mechanism 24 respectively disposed on the lower frame 21. The discharging mechanism 23 is disposed on one side of the pushing and storing mechanism 22 and is used to receive the stack of base bodies 101 conveyed by the pushing and storing mechanism 22. The direction adjustment mechanism 24 includes a support platform 24-1, a pallet assembly 24-2, a discharging track 24-3, a lifting cylinder 24-4, and a servo motor 24-5. The discharging mechanism 23 is connected to the discharging track 24-3 and is used to convey the stack of base bodies 101 one by one onto the discharging track 24-3. The other end of the discharging track 24-3 is provided with a support platform 24-1, and the support platform 24-1 has a... The base body 101 has a through hole through which it passes. The pallet assembly 24-2 is disposed on the support platform 24-1. After the base body 101 passes through the through hole of the support platform 24-1, the base body 101 is placed on the pallet assembly 24-2 so that the base transfer device 3 can grasp and transfer the base body 101. The pallet assembly 24-2 consists of a pallet and a pallet cylinder. Two sets can be arranged opposite each other on the support platform 24-1. The pallet cylinder drives the pallet to extend and retract. During the lifting of the base body 101, the pallet moves outward so that the through hole of the support platform 24-1 is fully opened. When the pallet cylinder drives the pallet to move inward, the pallet can partially block the through hole of the support platform 24-1. At this time, the base body 101 can be supported on the pallet. The servo motor 24-5 is mounted on the drive end of the lifting cylinder 24-4, and can be driven by the lifting cylinder 24-4 to move the servo motor 24-5 from the lower end of the discharge track 24-3 to the upper part of the support platform 24-1, thereby rotating the base body 101 to change its direction. This ensures that the base body 101 can enter the next assembly process in the correct direction, which helps to ensure the normal operation of subsequent assembly processes, and at the same time reduces the orientation requirements of the base placed in the pushing and balancing storage mechanism 22.

[0064] catch Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, the aforementioned pushing and storing mechanism 22 includes an upper frame 22-1, a push plate 22-2, a drive motor 22-3, a lead screw 22-4, a lead screw nut 22-5, a side-shifting conveyor belt 22-6, a discharge baffle 22-7, and a single-stack pushing mechanism 22-8. The upper frame 22-1 is fixed on the upper platform of the lower frame 21, and its surroundings are enclosed by baffles to form a storage space 22a. The push plate 22-2 is located inside the storage space 22a and can move towards the lateral conveyor belt 22-6 within the storage space 22a. Specifically, a lead screw 22-4 is provided on one side of the upper frame 22-1, and a lead screw nut 22-5 is threaded onto the lead screw 22-4. The push plate 22-2 is connected to the lead screw nut 22-5, and the drive motor 22-3 is connected to the lead screw 22-4. When the drive motor 22-3 drives the lead screw 22-4 to rotate, the lead screw nut 22-5 drives the push plate 22-2 to move axially along the lead screw 22-4. The push plate 22-2 can be used to push the stacked base bodies 101 towards the lateral conveyor belt 22-6, while ensuring the neat arrangement of the base bodies 101. The side conveyor belt 22-6 is located at the bottom of one side of the storage space 22a. It can move stacks of base bodies 101 toward the discharge baffle 22-7. The single stack pushing mechanism 22-8 is located on the rear side of the discharge baffle 22-7. It mainly consists of a pushing cylinder and a pushing plate. It can push a stack of base bodies 101 from the side conveyor belt 22-6 into the discharge baffle 22-7. The aforementioned discharge mechanism 23 includes a discharge plate 23-1, a primary baffle assembly 23-2, a secondary baffle assembly 23-3, a receiving cylinder 23-4, and a pushing cylinder 23-5.

The receiving cylinder 23-4 is located directly below the discharge port of the discharge plate 23-1. The discharge mechanism 23-5 can be achieved through the alternating extension and retraction of the primary baffle assembly 23-2 and the secondary baffle assembly 23-3. The stacked base bodies 101 within the material baffle 22-7 gradually fall, and with the help of the receiving cylinder 23-4, the base bodies 101 can be placed one by one onto one end of the discharge track 24-3. The push-out cylinder 23-5 is located on the opposite side of the direction adjustment mechanism 24. Using the push-out cylinder 23-5, the base bodies 101 can be pushed along the discharge track 24-3 to the bottom of the support platform 24-1. Then, the direction adjustment mechanism 24 pushes the base bodies 101 to the top of the support platform 24-1 and adjusts them to the correct assembly direction. Whether the orientation of the base body 101 on the support platform 24-1 is correct can be detected by a photoelectric sensor or a vision sensor, thereby controlling whether the servo motor 24-5 needs to rotate 90° to change the assembly direction.

[0065] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, in this embodiment, the aforementioned base transfer device 3 further includes a longitudinal transfer mechanism 31 and a transverse transfer mechanism 32 for driving each gripper mechanism 33 to move.

The distance between adjacent gripper mechanisms 33 is equal to the distance between each assembly station. The travel distance of the transverse movement drive cylinder 32-2 is greater than the distance between adjacent gripper mechanisms 33, which enables synchronous rotation of the base at each station, resulting in stable and efficient base transfer.

The pressing cylinder 4-6 is mounted on the top of the nut pressing bracket 4-4 and connected to the lifting seat plate 4-5. The nut gripping slide 4-7 is horizontally slidably mounted on the lower part of the lifting seat plate 4-5. The slide side-shifting cylinder 4-8 is mounted on one side of the lifting seat plate 4-5 and connected to the nut gripping slide 4-7. A nut gripping pressure pin 4-7a is also provided on the lower side of the nut gripping slide 4-7. The shifting cylinder 4-8 can drive the nut gripping pin 4-7a to move horizontally between the nut positioning seat 4-3 and the first rotating positioning seat 4-10. When the nut gripping pin 4-7a is above the nut positioning seat 4-3, the pressing cylinder 4-6 can drive the nut gripping pin 4-7a to move downward and insert into the nut center hole on the nut positioning seat 4-3, thereby gripping the nut 102. After the nut gripping pin 4-7a drives the nut 102 to move above the first rotating positioning seat 4-10, the pressing cylinder 4-6 drives the nut gripping pin 4-7a and the nut 102 to press down together, pressing the nut 102 into the nut groove of the base body 101. The nut pressing and positioning mechanism also includes a nut pressing seat 4-9 and a first rotating motor 4-11. The first rotating positioning seat 4-10 has a positioning structure of a useful positioning base body 101. The first rotating positioning seat 4-10 is rotatably mounted on the nut pressing seat 4-9. The first rotating motor 4-11 is connected to the first rotating positioning seat 4-10 for transmission, and is used to drive the first rotating positioning seat 4-10 to rotate to switch the assembly position. Figure 1 As shown, there are three pairs of conductive terminals on the base body 101. Therefore, by driving the first rotating positioning seat 4-10 to rotate by a certain angle through the first rotating motor 4-11, an assembly position can be switched. By repeating the above nut pressing process, the pressing of all nuts can be completed.

[0067] Reference Figure 9As shown, in the terminal mounting device 5, the terminal feeding mechanism also includes a terminal vibratory plate 5-1 and a terminal conveying slide 5-2. The terminal vibratory plate 5-1 is connected to the terminal positioning seat 5-3 through the terminal conveying slide 5-2. The conductive terminals 103 in the terminal vibratory plate 5-1 can be neatly arranged and conveyed to the terminal positioning seat 5-3 through the terminal conveying slide 5-2 for the terminal gripping mechanism to grip. The terminal gripping mechanism also includes a terminal gripping fixing plate 5-6, a side-shifting slide plate 5-7, a side-shifting drive cylinder 5-8, and a lifting gripping cylinder 5-10. The side-shifting slide plate 5-7 is horizontally slidably mounted on the terminal gripping fixing plate 5-6. The side-shifting drive cylinder 5-8 is mounted on one side of the terminal gripping fixing plate 5-6 and connected to the side-shifting slide plate 5-7. The terminal gripping plate 5-9 is vertically slidably mounted on the side-shifting slide plate 5-7. The lifting gripping cylinder 5-10 is mounted on the upper part of the side-shifting slide plate 5-7 and connected to the terminal gripping plate 5-9. A terminal gripping head 5-9 is also provided on the lower side of the terminal gripping plate 5-9. a. The lateral shift drive cylinder 5-8 can drive the gripping head 5-9a to move between the terminal positioning seat 5-3 and the second rotating positioning seat 5-12. When the gripping head 5-9a moves above the terminal positioning seat 5-3, the lifting gripping cylinder 5-10 can drive the gripping head 5-9a to move downward to grip the conductive terminal 103 on the terminal positioning seat 5-3. Then, the lateral shift drive cylinder 5-8 drives the conductive terminal 103 to move above the second rotating positioning seat 5-12, and the lifting gripping cylinder 5-10 drives the gripping head 5-9a to move downward to place the conductive terminal 103 on the base body 101. The terminal mounting and positioning mechanism also includes a terminal mounting seat 5-11 and a second rotating motor 5-13. The second rotating positioning seat 5-12 is rotatably mounted on the terminal mounting seat 5-11. The second rotating motor 5-13 is driven by the second rotating positioning seat 5-12 and is used to drive the second rotating positioning seat 5-12 to rotate to switch the assembly position.

[0068] like Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, in this embodiment, the terminal positioning seat 5-3 has a terminal positioning groove. The terminal positioning seat 5-3 is mounted on the terminal steering cylinder 5-4. The terminal steering cylinder 5-4 drives the terminal positioning seat 5-3 to rotate to change the installation direction of the conductive terminal 103. The terminal positioning seat 5-3 is also provided with a positioning protrusion 5-3a and a stop block that positions and cooperates with the positioning protrusion 5-3a on one side. The terminal steering cylinder 5-4 is mounted on the drive end of the retraction cylinder 5-5. The retraction cylinder 5-5 drives the terminal positioning seat 5-3 to move along the conveying direction of the terminal conveying slide 5-2. The terminal positioning seat 5-3 can rotate to change the installation direction of the conductive terminal 103, facilitating the arrangement of the terminal vibratory feeder and ensuring the compactness of the structure. Simultaneously, adjusting the direction of the conductive terminal 103 makes it easier to grip and install, ensuring the stability and reliability of the terminal installation. Furthermore, during the rotation of the conductive terminal driven by the terminal positioning seat 5-3, the retracting cylinder 5-5 can move the terminal positioning seat 5-3 along the conveying direction of the terminal conveying slide 5-2, ensuring the stability and positioning accuracy of the conductive terminal's rotation. Specifically, the aforementioned nut pressing device 4, terminal mounting device 5, and screw tightening device 6 can all adopt a dual-station design, meaning that two conductive terminals 103 can be assembled at a time. Taking the terminal mounting device 5 as an example, there are two terminal positioning seats 5-3. Side blocks 5-3b are provided on both sides of each terminal positioning seat 5-3, and a middle block 5-3c is provided between the two terminal positioning seats 5-3. The side blocks 5-3b and the middle block 5-3c prevent the conductive terminal 103 from moving during the rotation of the terminal positioning seat 5-3. They also cooperate with the positioning protrusion 5-3a to accurately position the terminal positioning seat 5-3, ensuring the accurate positioning of the conductive terminal 103. To avoid interference between the terminal positioning seat 5-3 and the terminal conveying slide 5-2 during rotation, a retraction cylinder 5-5 is used to move the terminal positioning seat 5-3 slightly away from the terminal conveying slide 5-2, thus ensuring stable rotation of the terminal positioning seat 5-3.

The screw gripping block 6-9 is connected to the drive end of the screw gripping cylinder 6-7 via a mounting plate 6-8. The sliding drive cylinder 6-6 can drive the screw gripping block 6-9. Block 6-9 moves between screw positioning seat 6-3 and third rotating positioning seat. When screw gripping block 6-9 moves above screw positioning seat 6-3, screw gripping cylinder 6-7 drives screw gripping block 6-9 to move down and grip screw 104 on screw positioning seat 6-3. Then, sliding drive cylinder 6-6 drives screw 104 to move above third rotating positioning seat, and screw gripping cylinder 6-7 drives screw 104 to the assembly position of base body 101 and stops to position screw 104 for subsequent screw tightening. The screw tightening mechanism also includes a horizontal plate 6-10, a lifting slide 6-11, and a screw tightening cylinder 6-12. The lifting slide 6-11 is slidably mounted on the horizontal plate 6-10.

The guide rod is equipped with a preload spring 6-13 for keeping the lifting slide 6-11 in a depressed state. An electric screwdriver 6-14 is mounted on the lifting slide 6-11. The screw tightening cylinder 6-12 drives the electric screwdriver 6-14 to move downward and contact the upper cap of the screw 104. At this time, the screw tightening cylinder 6-12 further drives the lifting slide 6-11 to move downward, so that the preload spring 6-13 is compressed and generates elastic pressure on the electric screwdriver 6-14. The screw can be tightened by starting the electric screwdriver 6-14. The screw tightening and positioning mechanism also includes a screw tightening seat 6-15 and a third rotary motor 6-16. The third rotary positioning seat is rotatably mounted on the screw tightening seat 6-15, and the third rotary motor 6-16 is connected to the third rotary positioning seat for driving the third rotary positioning seat to rotate and switch the assembly position. The positioning structure and rotation control of the third rotary positioning seat are similar to those of the second rotary positioning seat 5-12 described above.

The central guide block 7-3 is mounted on the detection fixed base 7-1, the floating positioning plate 7-2 is guided on the central guide block 7-3, and the elastic support block 7-7 is located between the detection fixed base 7-1 and the floating positioning plate 7-2. The elastic support block 7-7 can be made of rubber or the like, so that the floating positioning plate 7-2 can move downward after being pressed. The probe 7-4 is vertically mounted on the detection fixed base 7-1, and the buffer spring 7-8 acts on the probe 7-4 to keep the probe 7-4 maintaining an upward elastic tendency. The upper end of the probe 7-4 passes through the floating positioning plate 7-2. The pressing cylinder 7-5 is fixedly mounted above the floating positioning plate 7-2, and the pressure plate 7-6 is mounted on the drive end of the pressing cylinder 7-5. The base transfer device 3 transfers the assembled base from the third rotating positioning seat to the floating positioning plate 7-2. Then, the pressing cylinder 7-5 drives the pressure plate 7-6 to move downwards and press down on the base. At this time, the floating positioning plate 7-2 moves downwards under pressure, and the probe 7-4 can extend into the nut hole on the back of the base and contact the end of the screw. If there is any omission or improper assembly, the corresponding probe 7-4 will not press down or will press down only slightly, which can be identified by a photoelectric sensor or a vision sensor. This detection device 7 has a simple and compact structure and provides accurate and reliable detection.

[0071] Other components not mentioned in this embodiment are similar to existing technologies. For example, it also includes a control system, which can be a PLC controller. The actions of each mechanism can be coordinated by corresponding sensors detecting the corresponding position signals. The control system automatically controls the entire fire alarm base automatic assembly machine according to the action requirements of the aforementioned mechanisms.

By implementing a flipping design on the base transfer device, it can achieve positive pressure on the nut pressing surface of the base. After flipping, the terminal installation and screw tightening actions are completed sequentially. It eliminates the need for a complex nut back pressure design, making the structure of the automatic fire alarm base assembly machine simpler and the assembly work more stable and efficient.
