Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of mechanical equipment technology, and more specifically to a product assembly equipment. Background Technology

[0002] During product manufacturing, shielding covers and heat sinks need to be installed on the parts. However, in the current product assembly process, the installation of shielding covers and heat sinks mainly relies on manual operation. First, manual assembly is prone to omissions in the installation of shielding covers and heat sinks. Even when installed, they may not be properly installed, resulting in poor shielding or insufficient heat dissipation, which in turn affects the overall performance and lifespan of the product. Second, due to visual errors of the human eye and the instability of manual operation, it is difficult to achieve high-precision assembly. Furthermore, the installation efficiency is low. To solve these problems, although there are some automated product assembly machines on the market, they are not suitable for this product.

[0003] Therefore, this application studies an assembly device for the product of this application, which improves assembly precision and assembly efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] To improve assembly precision and efficiency, this application provides a product assembly device.

[0005] This application provides a product assembly equipment, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A product assembly device includes a conveying mechanism for conveying parts;

[0007] A handling mechanism is used to place parts into a conveyor for transport.

[0008] The pressure-holding mechanism maintains pressure on the parts;

[0009] The shielding cover feeding mechanism is used to feed the shielding cover.

[0010] A shielding assembly mechanism for mounting shielding covers onto parts;

[0011] The shielding cover assembly mechanism also includes a clamping component and a screw fastening component, which are used to clamp the shielding cover onto the part and to fasten the shielding cover to the part with screws to obtain a semi-finished product.

[0012] A semi-finished product temporary storage mechanism is used to place semi-finished products after they have been conveyed to the end via the conveying mechanism.

[0013] The heat sink feeding mechanism is used to feed the heat sink.

[0014] A heat sink assembly mechanism is used to install heat sinks onto semi-finished products on a semi-finished product storage mechanism to obtain the finished product.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solutions, the equipment integrates a series of processes such as parts conveying, feeding, assembly, and fastening into one unit, realizing automated production. The conveying mechanism can continuously transport parts, and the close cooperation between various mechanisms enables continuous assembly of parts, improving production efficiency. The shielding cover feeding mechanism and the heat sink assembly mechanism can accurately place the shielding cover and heat sink in the designated position of the parts, avoiding positional deviations that may occur during manual operation. The clamping component and the screw fastening component ensure a firm connection between the shielding cover and heat sink and the parts, improving the accuracy and stability of assembly. The pressure holding mechanism holds pressure on the parts, ensuring that the shape and position of the parts remain stable during the assembly process, avoiding deformation or displacement caused by external forces. When the semi-finished products are conveyed to the end by the conveying mechanism, they can be placed in the temporary storage mechanism in a timely manner to await the assembly of the heat sink, making the production process smoother and avoiding the accumulation or waiting of semi-finished products on the conveyor belt, thus improving assembly precision and assembly efficiency.

[0016] Optionally, it also includes a fastening mechanism and a feeding tray. The fastening mechanism is disposed on both sides of the conveying mechanism. The conveying mechanism transports the feeding tray on the conveying mechanism to the fastening mechanism, places the part in the feeding tray, and then transports the feeding tray back to the conveying mechanism.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, placing the feeding tray on the fastening mechanism allows multiple parts to be placed on the feeding tray together and the parts to be fastened together with wire harnesses. This improves the production efficiency of the product after the feeding tray is returned to the conveying mechanism for transmission.

[0018] Optionally, the fastening mechanism includes a movable seat, a placement seat, a first driving member, and a second driving member. One end of the placement seat is rotatably connected to the movable seat. The first driving member drives the movable seat to move closer to or away from the conveying mechanism. The output end of the second driving member is connected to one end of the placement seat, driving one end of the placement seat to move upward or downward, thereby rotating the placement seat.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the first driving component drives the placement seat to rotate, which can rotate the placement seat to a certain angle, making it easier for workers to fasten the wire harness to the parts, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0020] Optionally, the pressure-holding mechanism includes a pressure-holding component, a third driving component, and a fourth driving component. The third driving component drives the pressure-holding component to move in the vertical direction, and the fourth driving component drives the pressure-holding component to move in the width direction of the conveying mechanism.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, pressure is maintained on the parts and wire harness through pressure-holding components, thereby further ensuring product quality.

[0022] Optionally, the shielding cover loading mechanism includes a first transfer fixture, a material tray, a switching component, and a conveying component. The material tray is used to place the shielding cover. The material tray is stacked on the switching component. The conveying component includes a conveyor and a conveyor. The conveyor drives the conveyor to support the material tray below the material tray. The switching component is used to raise or lower the material tray. The switching component raises the material tray, and the material tray located on the conveyor is conveyed to the loading station through the conveyor. The first transfer fixture picks up the shielding cover in the material tray and loads it.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple material trays can be placed by the switching component. After the conveying component supports the material trays, the switching component can lift the upper material trays and separate them from the bottom one or more material trays. At this time, the conveying component supports the bottom one or more material trays and conveys them to the loading station. The material is then conveyed by the first transfer fixture, so that the shielding cover can be easily loaded.

[0024] Optionally, it also includes a transfer mechanism, which includes a transfer drive and a transfer seat. The transfer drive drives the transfer seat to reciprocate between the shielding cover feeding mechanism and the shielding cover assembly mechanism.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the transfer mechanism can increase the distance between the shielding cover feeding mechanism and the shielding cover assembly mechanism, thereby avoiding interference between the two mechanisms.

[0026] Optionally, the clamping assembly includes a fifth driving member, a sixth driving member, and a clamping member. The fifth driving member drives the clamping member to move along the width direction of the conveying mechanism, and the sixth driving member drives the clamping member to move along the vertical direction.

[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, the shielding cover can be pressed down by the clamping component to prevent it from popping up, making the assembly of the shielding cover more precise and stable.

[0028] Optionally, the semi-finished product temporary storage mechanism includes a fourth transfer fixture and a turntable. The turntable is provided with at least two sets of temporary storage seats. The fourth transfer fixture clamps the semi-finished product to one of the sets of temporary storage seats. The turntable rotates until the temporary storage seat containing the semi-finished product faces the heat sink feeding mechanism and the heat sink assembly mechanism. The heat sink feeding mechanism pre-installs the heat sink onto the semi-finished product. The heat sink assembly mechanism assembles the heat sink and the semi-finished product to obtain the product. After the installation is completed, the turntable continues to rotate to the product unloading station.

[0029] Optionally, it also includes at least one of the following line scanning mechanisms: a component line scanning mechanism, located upstream of the pressure holding mechanism, used to determine whether the wire harness is installed in place; a pressure holding line scanning mechanism, located downstream of the pressure holding mechanism, used to determine whether the pressure holding is in place; and a screw line scanning mechanism, located downstream of the screw fastening assembly, used to determine whether the screw is fastened in place.

[0030] Optionally, the heat sink assembly mechanism includes a pressing mechanism, which includes a pressing drive and a pressing block. The pressing drive drives the pressing block to move closer to or away from the turntable.

[0031] In summary, this application includes the following beneficial technical effects:

[0032] 1. The equipment integrates a series of processes such as parts conveying, feeding, assembly, and fastening into one unit, realizing automated production. The conveying mechanism can continuously transport parts, and the close cooperation between various mechanisms enables continuous assembly of parts, improving production efficiency. The shielding cover feeding mechanism and the heat sink assembly mechanism can accurately place the shielding cover and heat sink in the designated position of the parts, avoiding positional deviations that may occur during manual operation. The clamping component and screw fastening component ensure a firm connection between the shielding cover and heat sink and the parts, improving assembly accuracy and stability. The pressure holding mechanism holds pressure on the parts, ensuring that the shape and position of the parts remain stable during the assembly process, avoiding deformation or displacement caused by external forces. When the semi-finished products are conveyed to the end by the conveying mechanism, they can be placed in the temporary storage mechanism in a timely manner to await the assembly of the heat sink, making the production process smoother and avoiding the accumulation or waiting of semi-finished products on the conveyor belt, thus improving assembly precision and assembly efficiency.

[0033] 2. Placing the loading tray on the fastening mechanism allows multiple parts to be placed on the loading tray together and the parts to be fastened together with wire harnesses. This improves the production efficiency of the product after the loading tray is returned to the conveying mechanism for transmission.

[0034] 3. The semi-finished product temporary storage mechanism can prevent the semi-finished product loading tray from accumulating at the end of the conveyor mechanism. After the semi-finished product is placed on the turntable, the heat sink installation process can be carried out simultaneously with other processes on the conveyor mechanism, further improving production efficiency.

Detailed Implementation

[0055] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-17 This application will be described in further detail.

[0056] This application discloses a product assembly device. (Refer to...) Figure 1 and Figure 2The product assembly equipment includes a conveying mechanism 1 for conveying parts. In this embodiment, the conveying mechanism 1 uses a motor 231 in conjunction with a transmission belt to place the parts on the conveyor belt, and the motor 231 drives the conveyor belt to convey the parts. The conveying mechanism 2 is used to place parts on the conveying mechanism 1 for transport. In this embodiment, the conveying mechanism 2 includes an X-axis conveying fixture 21, a Y-axis conveying fixture 22, and a Z-axis conveying fixture 23, all of which are connected by chains, linear modules, and guide rails. The Y-axis conveying fixture 22 is installed on the X-axis conveying fixture 21, and the Z-axis conveying fixture 23 is installed on the Y-axis conveying fixture 22. The Y and Z-axis conveying fixtures 23 achieve X-axis movement through the X-axis conveying fixture 21. The Z-axis conveying fixture 23 moves to directly above the part through the Y-axis conveying fixture 22. The Z-axis conveying fixture 23 also includes a motor 231, a bidirectional cylinder 232, and a gripper 233. The bidirectional cylinder 232 drives the gripper 233 to open or clamp the part. The motor 231 drives the bidirectional cylinder 232 to move the gripper 233 downward to the position of the part, clamp the part, and then move upward away from the loading station to the conveying mechanism 1. It also includes a pressure holding mechanism 3. The parts are conveyed to the pressure holding mechanism 3 through the conveying mechanism 1, and the pressure holding mechanism 3 holds the parts under pressure.

[0057] Reference Figure 3 The equipment also includes a shielding cover feeding mechanism 4 for feeding shielding covers; a shielding cover assembly mechanism 5 for installing shielding covers onto parts; the shielding cover assembly mechanism 5 includes a clamping component 52 and a screw fastening component 53, used respectively to clamp the shielding cover onto the parts and to fasten the shielding cover to the parts with screws to obtain a semi-finished product; a semi-finished product temporary storage mechanism 8, where semi-finished products are placed after being conveyed to the end by the conveying mechanism 1; a heat sink feeding mechanism 9 for feeding heat sinks; and a heat sink assembly mechanism 10 for installing the heat sink onto the semi-finished product temporary storage mechanism 8 to obtain the finished product. The equipment integrates a series of processes such as parts conveying, feeding, assembly, and fastening into one unit, realizing automated production. The conveying mechanism 1 can continuously convey parts, and the close cooperation between the various mechanisms realizes continuous assembly of parts, improving production efficiency. Furthermore, the automated production of each mechanism can ensure the accuracy and stability of the assembly.

[0058] Reference Figure 4 In some embodiments, a fastening mechanism 11 and a feeding tray 12 are also included, which cooperate to... Figure 1The fastening mechanism 11 is located on both sides of the conveying mechanism 1, with two fastening mechanisms 11 on the same side. In other embodiments, one or more fastening mechanisms 11 may be provided as needed. Parts are placed in the loading tray 12, and workers can simultaneously fasten the parts to the wire harness from both sides. The transport mechanism 2 transports the loading trays 12 on the conveying mechanism 1 to the fastening mechanism 11 one by one. Workers at the current station of the fastening mechanism 11 can place parts into the loading tray 12. The loading tray 12 has multiple contoured compartments for placing parts, allowing multiple parts to be placed simultaneously, further improving production efficiency. After the parts are placed in the loading tray 12, the wire harness is fastened to the parts. After fastening is completed, the transport mechanism 2 transports the loading trays 12 back to the conveying mechanism 1 one by one.

[0059] In some embodiments, the fastening mechanism 11 includes a movable seat 111, a placement seat 112, a first driving member, and a second driving member 113. The first driving member drives the movable seat 111 to move closer to or away from the conveying mechanism 1. In this embodiment, the movable seat 111 is also slidably connected to a first guide rail 114, and the first guide rail 114 is slidably connected to a second guide rail 115. The first driving member can be a cylinder, an electric cylinder, a motor 231, or a lead screw, etc. The first driving member drives the movable seat 111 to slide on the first guide rail 114. The second guide rail 115 is mounted on the machine base, and the first guide rail 114 is connected to the second guide rail 115. The sliding mechanism 15 allows the moving seat 111 to have a dual movement distance. When the moving seat 111 is close to the conveying mechanism 1, the loading tray 12 can be placed on the placement seat 112 or on the conveying mechanism 1 by the handling mechanism 2. When the moving seat 111 is away from the conveying mechanism 1, the loading tray 12 is placed on the placement seat 112. The placement seat 112 is provided with several pins and has pin holes. The pins are located in the pin holes, so that the placement position of the loading tray 12 can be positioned. The parts can be placed on the loading tray 12 and the parts and wire harness can be fastened together.

[0060] One end of the placement seat 112 is rotatably connected to the movable seat 111, and the output end of the second driving member 113 is rotatably connected to one end of the placement seat 112, driving one end of the placement seat 112 to move upward or downward, thereby rotating the placement seat 112. The second driving member 113 is a telescopic cylinder, and the piston rod of the telescopic cylinder is rotatably connected to the middle section of the placement seat 112, so that the placement seat 112 can rotate when the telescopic cylinder drives the placement seat 112 upward or downward. This allows the placement seat 112 to be rotated to different angles, facilitating manual operation.

[0061] In this embodiment, two fixing frames 116 are also included. The two fixing frames 116 are installed on both sides of the fastening mechanism 11 on the same side of the conveying mechanism 1. A fixing rod 117 is installed between the fixing frames 116. Multiple pressing blocks 118 for pressing against the feeding tray 12 are provided on the fixing rod 117. In this embodiment, one feeding tray 12 corresponds to two pressing blocks. By pressing against the feeding tray 12 by the pressing blocks 118, the wire harness installation of the parts can be performed more stably.

[0062] Reference Figure 5 In some embodiments, a part scanning mechanism 13 is also included, located upstream of the pressure holding mechanism 3, for determining whether the wire harness is installed in place and ensuring the quality of the wire harness and the part fastening. The part scanning mechanism 13 includes a linear module and a scanning camera. The linear module drives the scanning camera to move along the width direction of the conveying mechanism 1, so that each part on the loading tray 12 is scanned, further ensuring the accuracy of the product.

[0063] Continue to refer to Figure 5 The pressure-holding mechanism 3 includes a pressure-holding component 31, a third driving component 32, and a fourth driving component 33. The third driving component 32 drives the pressure-holding component 31 to move vertically. In this embodiment, the third driving component 32 and the pressure-holding component 31 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, and the pressure-holding component 31 is arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the parts on the feeding tray 12. The third driving component 32 is a cylinder, which drives the pressure-holding component 31 to approach the parts for pressure holding. The pressure-holding component 31 is a gravity-pressing iron block. The fourth driving component 33 drives the pressure-holding component 31 to move along the width direction of the conveying mechanism 1. The fourth driving component 33 is also a cylinder. The fourth driving component 33 drives the pressure-holding component 31 to move to different positions above the parts, and then the third driving component 32 drives the pressure-holding component 31 downward to hold pressure at different positions on the parts.

[0064] In some embodiments, a pressure-holding line scanning mechanism 14 is further included, located downstream of the pressure-holding mechanism 3, for determining whether the pressure holding is in place. The pressure-holding line scanning mechanism 14 includes a linear module and a line scanning camera. The linear module drives the line scanning camera to move along the width direction of the conveying mechanism 1 to perform line scanning of the flatness of each product on the loading tray 12, check whether the pressure holding of the parts is in place, and further ensure the accuracy of the products.

[0065] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the shielding cover feeding mechanism 4 is located on one side of the width direction of the conveying mechanism 1. The shielding cover feeding mechanism 4 includes a first transfer fixture 41, a material preparation tray 42, a switching component 43, and a conveying component 44.

[0066] Reference Figure 8The material preparation tray 42 is used to place the shielding cover, and the material preparation trays 42 are stacked on the switching assembly 43. The switching assembly 43 is used to raise or lower the material preparation trays 42. The switching assembly 43 includes a switching drive 431, a switching element 432, and a vertical drive 433. The switching drive 431 drives the switching elements 432 to move closer or further apart. When they move closer, the switching elements 432 can cut into the bottom of the material preparation tray 42 to support the material preparation tray 42. The periphery of the material preparation tray 42 is provided with a slot for the switching element 432 to be received. Therefore, the switching element 432 can cut into any material preparation tray 42 at any height. The vertical drive 433 drives the switching element 432 to rise or fall.

[0067] Specifically, the switching drive component 431 is a switching cylinder, with two cylinders respectively located on opposite sides of the material preparation tray 42 and mounted on the fixing plates 434 on both sides. The switching component 432 is an "L"-shaped sheet metal, also mounted on the fixing plate 434, with two cylinders spaced apart on each fixing plate 434, facilitating its insertion into the groove of the material preparation tray 42 and providing stable support for the material preparation tray 42. The vertical drive component 433 includes a lead screw and a motor 231. The lead screw is screwed to the fixing plate 434, and the motor 231 drives the lead screw to rotate, causing the fixing plate 434 to rise or fall along the lead screw, thereby driving the switching component 432 to support the material preparation tray 42 to rise or fall. The switching assembly 43 raises the material preparation tray 42. In this embodiment, the switching component 432 cuts into the second material preparation tray 42 from the bottom up, and raises the above material preparation trays 42 together, separating them from the bottommost material preparation tray 42. The conveying assembly 44 conveys the bottommost material preparation tray 42 to the loading station for loading.

[0068] Reference Figure 9 The conveying component 44 includes a conveyor 441 and a conveyor 442. The conveyor 441 consists of a motor 231 and a conveyor belt. The conveyor 442 is mounted on the conveyor belt. The motor 231 drives the conveyor belt to move the conveyor 442 forward or backward, that is, to the side of the switching component 43 or to the side of the loading station. The conveyor 441 drives the conveyor 442 to support the material tray 42 below the material tray 42. The material tray 42 located on the conveyor 442 is conveyed to the loading station by the conveyor 441. In this embodiment, after the switching component 43 raises the second to last material tray 42, the conveyor 442 moves the last material tray 42 to the loading station and loads it through the first transfer fixture 41.

[0069] Reference Figure 9 and Figure 10In this embodiment, the shielding cover feeding assembly also includes a lifting assembly 46 and a limiting member 47. Both the lifting assembly 46 and the limiting member 47 are located at the feeding station. The lifting assembly 46 includes a lifting plate 461 and a lifting cylinder 462. The lifting plate 461 is also provided with a fixing block for limiting and fixing the material tray 42. The lifting cylinder 462 drives the lifting plate 461 to rise and lift the material tray 42 to the limiting member 47. The limiting member 47 is used to limit the height, so that the distance between the material tray 42 and the first transfer fixture 41 can be shortened, making it easier and more stable to pick up the shielding cover.

[0070] Refer again Figure 7 The first transfer fixture 41 picks up the shielding cover in the preparation tray 42 and loads it. The first transfer fixture 41 also includes an X-axis transport fixture 21, a Y-axis transport fixture 22 and a Z-axis transport fixture 23. Unlike the transport mechanism 2, the Z-axis transport fixture 23 includes a suction component 45, which picks up the shielding cover by vacuuming.

[0071] After all the shielding covers in the material preparation tray 42 have been sucked up and loaded, the empty material preparation tray 42 is transported to one side by the conveyor 441 and falls into the material preparation tray 42 collection point. The conveyor 442 continues to transport the next material preparation tray 42 to the bottom of the material preparation tray 42 at the switching component 43.

[0072] Reference Figure 11 In some embodiments, a transfer mechanism 6 is also included. The transfer mechanism 6 includes a transfer drive 61 and a transfer seat 62. The transfer seat 62 has a contoured cavity for placing the shielding cover. The transfer drive 61 drives the transfer seat 62 to reciprocate between the shielding cover feeding mechanism 4 and the shielding cover assembly mechanism 5. The transfer drive 61 is a rodless cylinder. The transfer seat 62 is mounted on the rodless cylinder. When the rodless cylinder moves the transfer seat 62 closer to the shielding cover feeding mechanism 4, the shielding cover feeding mechanism 4 feeds the shielding cover onto the transfer seat 62. After feeding, the rodless cylinder moves the transfer seat 62 toward the shielding cover assembly mechanism 5. The shielding cover assembly mechanism 5 picks up the shielding cover on the transfer seat 62 and installs it with the parts in the feeding tray 12 conveyed by the conveying mechanism 1. The transfer mechanism 6 can increase the distance between the shielding cover feeding mechanism 4 and the shielding cover assembly mechanism 5, thereby avoiding interference between the two mechanisms.

[0073] The shielding cover assembly mechanism 5 also includes a second transfer fixture 51. The second transfer fixture 51 has the same structure as the first transfer fixture 41, but the height of the first transfer fixture 41 is greater than the height of the second transfer fixture 51, which further avoids interference between the two. The second assembly mechanism moves the shielding cover to the visual imaging point for taking pictures, and moves the loading tray 12 to take pictures of the parts. By visually calculating the position of the shielding cover and the position of the parts, the shielding cover is accurately installed on the parts. At this time, the shielding cover is pressed tightly by the clamping component 52 to prevent the shielding cover from popping open.

[0074] Reference Figure 12 In some embodiments, the clamping assembly 52 includes a fifth driving member 521, a sixth driving member 522, and a clamping member 523. The fifth driving member 521 drives the clamping member 523 to move along the width direction of the conveying mechanism 1, and the sixth driving member 522 drives the clamping member 523 to move along the vertical direction. In this embodiment, the fifth driving member 521 is a linear module, the sixth driving member 522 is mounted on the linear module, and the linear module drives the sixth driving member 522 to move along the width direction of the conveying mechanism 1. The clamping member 523 is mounted on the output end of the sixth driving member 522, and the sixth driving member 522 is a cylinder. The cylinder drives the clamping member 523 to rise or fall to clamp or relax the shielding cover. By clamping the shielding cover with the clamping member 523, the shielding cover is prevented from popping up, further improving the product installation accuracy. The suction member 45 has a "U"-shaped structure, and the clamping member 523 has a clearance groove. The clearance groove allows the clamping member 523 and the suction member 45 to interlock, thus avoiding interference between them and better clamping the shielding cover, further improving the compactness and continuity of the equipment. After the shielding cover is clamped, the screw fastening assembly 53 moves to the side of the second transfer fixture 51 to lock the shielding cover and the parts with two screws.

[0075] Reference Figure 13 The screw fastening assembly 53 includes a third transfer fixture 531 and a locking accessory 532. The third transfer fixture 531 has the same structure as the second transfer fixture 51 and is arranged opposite to the second transfer fixture 51. The difference is that the locking accessory 532 is installed on the Z-axis transport fixture 23. The screw is tightened by the locking accessory 532, and the shielding cover and the part are fixed to complete the semi-finished product.

[0076] In some embodiments, a screw line scanning mechanism 7 is further included, located downstream of the screw fastening assembly 53, for determining whether the screw is properly fastened. The screw line scanning mechanism 7 includes a linear module and a line scanning camera. The linear module drives the line scanning camera to move along the width direction of the conveying mechanism 1 to scan whether the screw is floating and determine whether it is properly fastened.

[0077] Reference Figure 14 and Figure 15In some embodiments, the semi-finished product temporary storage mechanism 8 includes a turntable 81 and a fourth transfer fixture 82. The turntable 81 can be driven to rotate by a drive source such as a motor 231. The fourth transfer fixture 82 also includes an X-axis transport fixture 21, a Y-axis transport fixture 22 and a Z-axis transport fixture 23. Two gripper cylinders 821 are installed on the Z-axis transport fixture 23 for gripping the semi-finished products on the conveying mechanism 1. The turntable 81 is provided with at least two sets of temporary storage seats 83. In this embodiment, four sets of temporary storage seats 83 are evenly arranged on the turntable 81. Each set has two temporary storage seats 83, which correspond to the two gripper cylinders 821. The semi-finished products in the loading tray 12 on the conveying mechanism 1 are gripped by the movement of the fourth transfer fixture 82 and transferred to one of the sets of temporary storage seats 83. The set of temporary storage seats 83 faces the conveying mechanism 1. Turntable 81 rotates 90° to the temporary storage seat 83 containing the semi-finished product, which faces the heat sink feeding mechanism 9 and the heat sink assembly mechanism 10. The heat sink feeding mechanism 9 pre-installs the heat sink onto the semi-finished product, and the heat sink assembly mechanism 10 assembles the heat sink to obtain the product. After the installation is completed, turntable 81 continues to rotate 90° to the product unloading station for unloading. This cycle is repeated through four sets of temporary storage seats 83 to improve the efficiency of heat sink installation.

[0078] Reference Figure 16 The structure of the heat sink loading mechanism 9 is the same as that of the shielding cover loading mechanism 4. The difference is that the Z-axis transport fixture 23 of the heat sink loading mechanism 9 is equipped with a scooping component 91 instead of a suction component 45, and two scooping components 91 are provided. The cross-section is arc-shaped, which can scoop up two heat sinks at the same time. After the heat sink is scooped up by the scooping component 91, it is moved to the semi-finished product position and installed on the semi-finished product. The same parts will not be described in detail here. Furthermore, due to the structure of the heat sink and the semi-finished product, the heat sink is only partially installed on the semi-finished product at this time. Then, the heat sink assembly mechanism 10 is used to fully assemble the heat sink onto the semi-finished product to obtain the product.

[0079] This embodiment also includes a heat sink imaging vision 15 and a semi-finished product imaging vision 16. The heat sink imaging vision 15 is positioned above the turntable 81 and is used to image the center of the heat sink. It is equipped with a movable light source. The semi-finished product imaging vision 16 is positioned facing the turntable 81. During operation, the semi-finished product imaging vision 16 first images the center of the semi-finished product on the temporary storage seat 83. The heat sink loading mechanism 9 then scoops the heat sink to the front of the heat sink imaging vision 15 to image and locate the center. By using the positions of the two centers in the vision system, the heat sink loading mechanism 9 can more accurately pre-install the heat sink onto the semi-finished product.

[0080] Reference Figure 15 and Figure 17In some embodiments, the heat sink assembly mechanism 10 includes a pressing mechanism, which includes a pressing drive 101 and a pressing block 102. In this embodiment, the semi-finished product imaging vision 16 is disposed on one side of the pressing block 102. The pressing drive 101 drives the pressing block 102 to move closer to or away from the turntable 81. The pressing drive 101 includes a first linear module 121 and a second linear module 122. The pressing block 102 and the semi-finished product imaging vision 16 are both mounted on the second linear module 122. The second linear module 122 is mounted on the first linear module 121. The first linear module 121 drives the second linear module 122 to move in the direction of moving closer to or away from the turntable 81. The second linear module 122 drives the pressing block 102 to move along the length direction of the conveying mechanism 1. The top pressure block 102 is adjusted to the front of the semi-finished product by the second linear module 122. The second linear module 122 drives the top pressure block 102 to approach the turntable 81 and press the heat sink sleeve. At this time, the heat sink sleeve can be pressed tightly onto the semi-finished product to obtain the product.

[0081] The width direction of the conveying mechanism 1 is a straight line perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 1, and the length direction of the conveying mechanism 1 is a straight line perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 1.

[0082] The implementation principle of a product assembly equipment according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: the equipment integrates a series of processes such as parts conveying, feeding, assembly, and locking into one unit, realizing automated production. The conveying mechanism 1 can continuously convey parts, and the close cooperation between the various mechanisms realizes continuous assembly of parts, improving production efficiency. The shielding cover feeding mechanism 4 and the heat sink assembly mechanism 10 can accurately place the shielding cover and heat sink in the designated position of the parts, avoiding positional deviations that may occur during manual operation. The clamping component 52 and the screw locking component 53 ensure a firm connection between the shielding cover and heat sink and the parts, improving the assembly accuracy and stability. The pressure holding mechanism 3 holds the parts under pressure, ensuring that the shape and position of the parts remain stable during the assembly process, avoiding deformation or displacement caused by external forces. When the semi-finished products are conveyed to the end through the conveying mechanism 1, they can be placed in the temporary storage mechanism in a timely manner to wait for the heat sink assembly, making the production process smoother and avoiding the accumulation or waiting of semi-finished products on the conveyor belt, thus improving assembly precision and assembly efficiency.
