Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of automatic machinery, and specifically relates to a device and equipment for in-position detection of components in a combined module. BACKGROUND

[0002] In modern industrial production, many processing links have been automated, such as automatic feeding, automatic assembly, and automatic discharging. The combined module described in the utility model places multiple components on a base component, and then assembles the components on the base component by means of automatic screwing, which is a common processing scenario.

[0003] For example, a radiator module used on a main control board of a commercial air conditioner outdoor unit usually has multiple accommodating grooves formed on a substrate (i.e., a base component), and then corresponding heat generating components (i.e., components) are placed in the accommodating grooves, and then the heat generating components are fixed by screws. Referring to FIG. 1, the substrate 1 has, from left to right, a rectifier bridge 2, three groups of alternately placed transistors 3 and diodes 4, one relatively high-power IPM element 5, and two relatively low-power IPM elements 6. Figure 1 In addition, the dashed circle area in FIG. 1 is the screwing position of the components. Figure 1

[0004] Of course, the number and specific distribution of the components on different types of combined modules will vary according to actual application requirements, such as the radiator module shown in FIG. 2, which has, from left to right, on the substrate 1, the rectifier bridge 2, three groups of alternately placed transistors 3 and diodes 4, one relatively high-power IPM element 5, and one relatively low-power IPM element 6. Figure 2

[0005] In the processing of the combined module, a human or a mechanical arm is required to place the related components in the corresponding accommodating grooves on the base component. In this process, the components may be missed, misplaced, or dropped. However, the subsequent automatic screwing process cannot automatically identify the missed, misplaced, or dropped components, which may result in processing abnormalities and defective products. Therefore, it is crucial to detect whether the components are in position before automatic screwing. SUMMARY

Detailed Implementation

[0043] The technical solutions of the present utility model embodiments will be explained and described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the following embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present utility model and not all of them. In the description of the present utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "front", "back", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are all based on the orientation or relative positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are intended to facilitate a clear description of the structure of the product or device and are not used to limit the actual orientation of the product or device during production, use, sales, etc.

[0044] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used only for distinguishing purposes in the description and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise expressly defined.

[0045] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Under the premise that they do not conflict with each other, the technical features in each specific embodiment can be used interchangeably.

[0046] The device-in-position detection device and equipment of the combination module provided by the embodiment is used for detecting whether the device to be assembled is placed in the accommodating groove of the base of the combination module, so that the subsequent processing (for example, automatic screwing) is prevented from being abnormal due to missing, mispositioning or falling of the device. The structure and assembly process of the combination module are described in the background art.

[0047] For reference Figures 3 to 5 As a basic embodiment, the device-in-position detection device 100 of the combination module provided by the embodiment includes a first mounting member 10, a bearing assembly 20, a position detection assembly 30 and a first driving assembly 40. The first mounting member 10 is used for mounting the bearing assembly 20 and the first driving assembly 40 thereon. The bearing assembly 20 is fixedly arranged on the front side of the first mounting member 10 and is used for bearing the combination module to be assembled. The position detection assembly 30 is movably arranged above the bearing assembly 20. The position detection assembly 30 includes a lifting plate 31 and a proximity switch 32 arranged on the lifting plate 31. Generally, the proximity switch 32 is multiple, and the proximity switches are longitudinally aligned with the accommodating grooves, that is, each proximity switch 32 corresponds to detecting whether the device to be assembled is placed in the accommodating groove. The first driving assembly 40 is arranged above the first mounting member 10, and the driving end of the first driving assembly drives the lifting plate 31 to move up and down.

[0048] When the combination module to be assembled is fed onto the bearing assembly 20, the first driving assembly 40 drives the position detection assembly 30 to move down. If the device to be assembled is placed in the accommodating groove corresponding to the combination module, the corresponding proximity switch 32 arranged on the position detection assembly is in contact with the corresponding device to be assembled, and the corresponding proximity switch 32 feeds back a switch signal. If the device to be assembled is missing in the accommodating groove of the combination module, the corresponding proximity switch 32 arranged on the position detection assembly 30 cannot be in contact with the corresponding device to be assembled, and the corresponding proximity switch 32 feeds back another switch signal (or no signal). Thus, the device-in-position detection device 100 of the combination module can automatically detect whether the device to be assembled of the combination module is placed in the accommodating groove of the base.

[0049] For reference Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, as a preferred embodiment, the lifting plate 31 in the embodiment is provided with a plurality of assembly holes, and the distribution positions of the assembly holes cover the distribution positions of all the accommodating grooves of various types of the combination module; the proximity switch 32 is arranged in the assembly hole in a hole position adjustable manner. That is, for the distribution position of the accommodating groove of a certain combination module, the corresponding assembly hole is selected and the proximity switch 32 is arranged correspondingly. In this way, even if the distribution positions of the accommodating grooves of different combination modules are different, the plurality of proximity switches installed can be adapted to the distribution of the accommodating grooves of the current combination module by selecting the installation hole position, so as to realize coverage detection, thereby greatly improving the detection compatibility of the in-place detection assembly. Preferably, the lifting plate 31 is provided with a plurality of assembly holes in a high-density matrix manner in rows and columns.

[0050] In combination Figure 8 As shown, the proximity switch 32 includes a contact head 321, a piezoelectric sensing part 322 and a signal feedback cable 323, the contact head is located below the lifting plate 31, and the signal feedback cable is located above the lifting plate 31. The basic working principle of the proximity switch 32 is that after the contact head 321 contacts the object to be detected, the piezoelectric sensing part 322 is pressed to generate an electric signal; the structure and principle of the proximity switch 32 belong to the prior art, which will not be described here. In the embodiment, the contact head 321 of the proximity switch is arranged below the lifting plate, which is more convenient for the contact head 321 to approach and contact the device to be assembled, and improves the detection accuracy; in addition, the signal feedback cable 323 is arranged above the lifting plate, which is convenient for wiring and space utilization.

[0051] Continuing to refer to Figures 3 to 5 As a preferred embodiment, the bottom of the accommodating groove of the combination module is provided with a through hole, and the bearing assembly 20 is provided with a support mechanism 21 which is aligned with the proximity switch 32, the support mechanism 21 passes through the through hole to exert an upward supporting force on the device to be assembled placed in the accommodating groove, so as to facilitate the detection of the corresponding proximity switch.

[0052] In combination Figure 8 As a further embodiment, the support mechanism 21 includes a support column 211, a spring 212, a top cap 213 and a sheath 214, the support column 211 is longitudinally penetrated into the bearing assembly 20, the top cap 213 is arranged at the top end of the support column 211, the spring 212 is sleeved on the lower part of the support column 211 and abuts against a flange on the periphery of the lower part of the support column 211, and the sheath 214 is sleeved on the bottom of the support column 211; when the support column 211 receives an upward external force, it moves upward against the elastic force of the spring 212.

[0053] The further embodiment has the beneficial effect that when the plurality of devices to be assembled are placed, the upper surface of some of the devices to be assembled can be lower than the upper surface of other devices to be assembled, at which time the corresponding support column of the device to be assembled can be jacked up to enable the corresponding proximity switch to effectively detect the device to be assembled, thereby avoiding missed detection or false detection.

In this specific embodiment, the slide cylinder is adopted, which is more convenient for arranging the in-position detection assembly on the side of the cylinder and driving the in-position detection assembly at the same time, and the space utilization is higher.

[0055] With continued reference to Figures 3 to 5 As a preferred embodiment, the in-position detection device for devices in the combined module 100 further comprises a base assembly 50, a second driving assembly 60 and a second mounting member 70.

[0056] The base assembly 50 comprises a first horizontal plate 51, a first vertical plate 52, a second horizontal plate 53 and a triangular support plate 54. The lower end of the first vertical plate 52 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the first horizontal plate 51, the front end of the second horizontal plate 53 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the first vertical plate 52, and the two straight sides of the triangular support plate 54 are respectively fixed to the rear side of the first vertical plate 52 and the lower end surface of the second horizontal plate 53. Such a base assembly 50 is convenient for assembling on an operation table such as a machine table, is stable in structure, and can also expand the horizontal space to facilitate the arrangement of the second driving assembly 60.
