Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive airbag sensor manufacturing technology, and in particular to an integrated detection and material sorting mechanism for automotive airbag sensor testing. Background Technology

[0002] When a vehicle is impacted, the airbag sensor ignites propellant, causing the airbag to inflate. The airbag sensor consists of a housing, pins, and propellant.

[0003] In the manufacturing process of automotive airbag sensors, after the pins and housing are initially connected and assembled, they need to be transferred to the laser welding station for laser welding.

[0004] However, the sensors that are initially assembled are prone to problems such as bent pins and deformed shell edges during transportation. This means that after the individual sensors are fed by the material distribution mechanism at the end of the feeding track but before laser welding, an additional vision inspection mechanism is needed to inspect the sensors being fed. This increases the structural complexity and space occupied by the laser welding station, and increases equipment costs. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0035] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: an integrated detection and material distribution mechanism for automotive airbag sensor detection, comprising:

[0038] base body 1;

[0039] The transverse shifter 2 is fixedly installed at the output end of the first drive cylinder 21;

[0040] Positioning seat 3, on which a sensor positioning groove 31 is provided;

[0041] Pin positioning plate 4 is fixedly installed at the output end of the second drive cylinder 41;

[0042] The first photoelectric sensor 5 is fixedly mounted on the transverse sliding seat 2;

[0043] The sensor positioning groove 31 has an opening on one side, and the opening of the sensor positioning groove 31 corresponds to the discharge port of the feeding track 9. The sensor 91 is placed in the feeding track 9. The through hole on the bottom surface of the sensor positioning groove 31 is connected to the air pipe connector 311, and the air pipe connector 311 is connected to the vacuum generator. The pin positioning plate 4 has a notch 42 at its end for positioning the pins of the sensor 91. The second drive cylinder 41 is fixedly installed on the transverse shift seat 2. The laser emitting end and the laser receiving end of the first photoelectric sensor 5 are on the same straight line as the sensor positioning groove 31.

[0044] While the initially assembled sensors are being sorted, sensor inspection is also performed, eliminating the need for an additional vision inspection mechanism. This simplifies the laser welding station for automotive airbag sensors while ensuring welding quality. The notches at the ends of the pin positioning plate 4 position the sensor pins, preventing sensor rotation during sorting and facilitating subsequent sensor pickup by the picking mechanism.

[0045] Working principle: The car airbag sensor to be laser welded is conveyed through the feeding track 9. The vertical vibration below the feeding track 9 causes the sensor 91 to be conveyed in a straight line and enter the sensor positioning groove 31 through the discharge port, where it is adsorbed and positioned. At this time, the pin on the upper side of the sensor 91 is inserted into the notch 42 at the end of the pin positioning plate 4. The height of the first photoelectric sensor 5 corresponds to the flange of the sensor 91 housing. If the pin or housing of the sensor 91 is deformed, it cannot be inserted into the sensor positioning groove 31 smoothly, and thus cannot be detected by the first photoelectric sensor 5. This effectively prevents the sensor 91 with deformed housing or pin from continuing to be welded.

[0046] Subsequently, for the sensor 91 detected by the first photoelectric sensor 5 and located in the sensor positioning slot 31, the first drive cylinder 21 pushes the transverse sliding seat 2 to slide horizontally, and the positioning seat 3 and the pin positioning plate 4 move to one side of the feeding track 9 to achieve material distribution. Then, the pin positioning plate 4 is driven by the second drive cylinder 41 to retract and disengage from the sensor pin, the sensor is released from adsorption, and the sensor can be picked up from above by the material picking mechanism.

[0047] Example 2

[0048] Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment further improves upon the following technical solution: a groove 32 is provided on the positioning seat 3, and the groove 32 passes through the sensor positioning groove 31.

[0049] The position and height of the groove 32 correspond to the laser emitted by the first photoelectric sensor 5, enabling the first photoelectric sensor 5 to accurately detect the sensor inside the positioning seat 3. Simultaneously, it facilitates determining the installation position of the first photoelectric sensor 5, ensuring detection effectiveness.

[0050] Example 3

[0051] Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment further improves upon the following technical solution: a stop block 6 is provided on one side of the feeding track 9, and the stop block 6 is fixedly installed on the bracket 61.

[0052] During material distribution, the sensor positioning groove 31 of the positioning seat 3 moves laterally to the alignment block 6, and the block closes the opening on one side of the sensor positioning groove 31 to prevent the sensor from falling out of the sensor positioning groove 31.

[0053] Example 4

[0054] Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment further improves upon the following technical solution: a waist-shaped hole 611 is provided on the bracket 61, and the locking bolt passes through the waist-shaped hole 611 and connects to the stop block 6, so that the installation position of the stop block 6 is adjustable.

[0055] Example 5

[0056] Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment further improves upon the following technical solution: a cover plate 92 is provided on the opposite side of the track groove of the feeding track 9, and a pad is provided between the cover plate 92 and the surface of the feeding track 9.

[0057] The sensor 91 is conveyed in a straight line within the track groove of the feeding track 9. The cover plate 92 can effectively position the pins of the sensor 91 and prevent the sensor 91 from rotating.

[0058] Example 6

[0059] Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment further improves upon the following technical solution: a second photoelectric sensor 93 is provided on the side wall of the feeding track 9, and the second photoelectric sensor 93 faces the track groove of the feeding track 9.

[0060] The pad creates a gap between the cover plate 92 and the surface of the feeding track 9. The laser emitted by the second photoelectric sensor 93 passes through this gap to monitor whether the sensor 91 inside the feeding track 9 is short of material.

[0061] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
