[0010] Preferably, the snap-fit ​​tooling includes a mounting base, the port of which is internally threaded with a threaded mounting cylinder. Multiple receiving components are distributed inside the threaded mounting cylinder, and the hinged portion is hinged to the inner wall of the threaded mounting cylinder.

[0011] When the material receiving station is in position, the junction of the horizontal and inclined portions abuts against the inner wall of the threaded mounting cylinder.

[0012] Preferably, a chamber is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the threaded mounting cylinder, and a piston ring that keeps the piston moving is movably installed inside the chamber. The piston ring and one end of the chamber form a pressure chamber.

[0025] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a special device for snap-fit ​​installation of automotive wood interior trim includes a robotic arm 1 and a vibrating plate 2, and also includes a snap-fit ​​execution tool 3 mounted on the robotic arm 1, which includes a receiving part 4 distributed in a circumferential array. The receiving part 4 is divided into a horizontal part 41, an inclined part 42 and a vertical part 43 according to its structure, and a hinge part 5 is provided at the junction of the inclined part 42 and the vertical part 43.

[0027] It also includes driving the receiving part 4 to switch between two execution stations with the hinge part 5 as the axis:

[0028] At the material receiving station, the vertical part 43 is switched from a vertical state to an inclined state, and the two vertical parts 43 are distributed in a funnel shape;

[0029] At the pressing station, the vertical part 43 is in a vertical state, and the horizontal parts 41 of the two receiving parts 4 are in a horizontal state.

[0030] Specifically, the angle between the inclined part 42 and the vertical part 43 is an obtuse angle.

[0031] Furthermore, in the above embodiments, combined with Figure 2 and Figure 3 It is known that the buckle execution tool 3 includes a mounting base 31, and a threaded mounting cylinder 32 is connected to the port of the mounting base 31. Multiple receiving parts 4 are distributed inside the threaded mounting cylinder 32, and the hinge part 5 is hinged to the inner wall of the threaded mounting cylinder 32. When in the material receiving position, the horizontal part 41 and the inclined part 42 abut against the inner wall of the threaded mounting cylinder 32.

[0032] In the above technology, the vibrating plate 2 blows the buckle onto the funnel-shaped vertical part 43, and then drives the receiving part 4 to flip, thereby switching it from the receiving station to the pressing station, and pressing the buckle to the predetermined station during the switching process.

[0033] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, a chamber 6 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the threaded mounting cylinder 32, and a piston ring 61 for maintaining piston movement is movably installed inside the chamber 6. One end of the piston ring 61 and the chamber 6 is a pressure chamber 100. A connecting rod 70 distributed on the side opposite to the pressure chamber 100 is welded on the piston ring 61. A pull rod 71 is rotatably arranged between the connecting rod 70 and the vertical part 43. The pull rod 71 is located in the through groove opened on the mounting base 31 and the threaded mounting cylinder 32.

[0034] Specifically, when at the material receiving station, that is... Figure 3As shown, the fastener is blown onto the two vertical sections 43, which are distributed in a funnel shape. At this time, the pressure chamber 100 is inflated by an external air pump, and the air pressure in the pressure chamber 100 decreases. The piston ring 61 then... Figure 2 As shown, the connecting rod 70 moves upward, and the pull rod 71 pulls the vertical part 43 so that the vertical part 43 is pulled vertically, and the buckle is pressed to the predetermined position during the process.

[0035] It should be noted that in the above embodiment, the output end of the vibratory plate 2 is connected to the inside of the mounting base 31 through the air pipe. The air pump applies pressure so that the fastener enters the air pipe from the output end of the vibratory plate 2 and then enters the mounting base 31, so that the fastener enters between the two vertical parts 43 which are distributed in a funnel shape.

[0036] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
