Detailed Implementation

[0022] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0023] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the present invention discloses an automatic riveting machine for downlight cups, comprising a frame 1, a lead screw module 5, and a riveting assembly 8. A disc 2 is rotatably connected to the top of the frame 1 via bearings. The lead screw module 5 and the riveting assembly 8 are located at the top of both ends of the disc 2 and connected to the frame 1. A riveting press 9 is installed on the top of one side of the frame 1. The working end of the riveting press 9 is located on the top of the disc 2. Mold bases 3 are installed at equal intervals around the top circumference of the disc 2. The mold bases 3 are made of stainless steel. A mold sleeve 4 is inserted into the top of the mold base 3. A ring magnet 41 for magnetically connecting with the mold base 3 is connected to the bottom of the mold sleeve 4.

[0024] This utility model also includes a screw module 5 comprising a mounting plate 51, a fixed plate 52 at one end of the mounting plate 51, a screw 53 mounted on one side of the mounting plate 51 via a bearing seat, a screw block 54 on the screw 53, a movable plate 56 on one side of the screw block 54, a first cylinder 57 on one side of both the fixed plate 52 and the movable plate 56, and a first suction cup 58 at the bottom of the output end of the first cylinder 57.

[0025] In use, the lead screw module 5 is used to automatically unload the lamp cup after the rivet is processed, replacing the traditional manual unloading.

[0026] The present invention also includes a guide rod 55 installed on the mounting plate 51 and located at the bottom of the lead screw 53, the bottom of the lead block 54 being sleeved on the guide rod 55, and a second servo motor 59 installed at the other end of the mounting plate 51, the output end of the second servo motor 59 being connected to the rotation shaft of the lead screw 53.

[0027] This utility model also includes a vibratory feeder 6 provided at one end of the frame 1 near the riveting assembly 8, a Z-axis electric slide rail 7 installed at the top of the discharge end of the vibratory feeder 6, the riveting assembly 8 including a Y-axis electric slide rail 81, the Y-axis electric slide rail 81 being mounted on the sliding block of the Z-axis electric slide rail 7, an L-shaped mounting base 82 connected to one side of the sliding block of the Y-axis electric slide rail 81, and a second suction cup 83 installed at the bottom of one side of the L-shaped mounting base 82.

[0028] In use, based on the setting of the riveting assembly 8, the rivets discharged from the vibratory plate 6 are gripped and sucked onto the lamp cup placed on the disc 2, replacing manual riveting.

[0029] The present invention also includes a first servo motor 21 installed at the bottom of the frame 1, wherein the drive end of the first servo motor 21 is installed at the center of the disk 2.

[0030] In use, by utilizing the first servo motor 21, the disk 2 can be driven to rotate, so that the lamp cup placed on the disk 2 can pass under the riveting assembly 8, the riveting machine 9 and the lead screw module 5 in sequence.

[0031] In use, this invention selects an inner mold sleeve 4 of the required shape and size according to the size requirements of the lamp cup being riveted. The mold sleeve 4 is magnetically connected to the mold base 3 on the disk 2 by inserting it into the annular magnet 41 at the bottom of the mold sleeve 4. The inner cavity of the mold sleeve 4 provides a support and positioning platform for the lamp cup to be riveted on the disk 2. The magnetic design allows for quick and flexible adjustment based on the lamp cup processing requirements. During processing, the lamp cup can be manually loaded into the mold sleeve 4, or a robotic arm can pick it up and load it. Once inside the mold sleeve 4, the lamp cup rotates sequentially below the riveting assembly 8, the riveting press 9, and the lead screw module 5, driven by the first servo motor 21. The vibratory feeder 6 provides the riveting material for the lamp cup riveting assembly 8. The riveting assembly 8 is driven by the Z-axis electric slide rail 7 to the top of the discharge end of the vibratory feeder 6. The Y-axis electric slide rail 81 of the riveting assembly 8 then drives the L-shaped mounting base 8. 2. The second suction cup 83 moves downward, gripping the rivet. Then, based on the movement of the Z-axis electric slide rail 7 and the Y-axis electric slide rail 81, the gripped rivet is placed into the rivet hole of the lamp cup below the riveting assembly 8. The second suction cup 83 releases its grip, and the rivet falls into the rivet hole of the lamp cup. As the disc 2 rotates, the lamp cup moves to below the riveting machine 9, where the riveting machine 9 performs the riveting operation on the lamp cup. Then, as the disc 2 rotates, the riveted lamp cup moves to below the lead screw module 5, where the first cylinder 57 pushes down the first suction cup 58 to grip the lamp cup. After the first cylinder 57 rises, the second servo motor 59 drives the lead screw 53 to rotate, causing the lead block 54 to move the first suction cup 58 and the gripped lamp cup to the unloading point based on the rotation of the lead screw 53. After the first suction cup 58 releases its grip, the riveted lamp cup automatically falls to the unloading position, completing the automatic riveting process of the downlight lamp cup.

[0032] In use, the first suction cup 58 and the second suction cup 83 of this application are equipped with an air pump for suction and an air inlet valve. The air inlet of the air pump is connected to the exhaust end of the first suction cup 58 and the second suction cup 83 through an air pipe, so that the first suction cup 58 and the second suction cup 83 can generate negative pressure suction when being suctioned. During this process, the specific size of the suction cups of the first suction cup 58 and the second suction cup 83 is set according to the actual usage requirements.

[0033] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The descriptions of the above embodiments and specifications are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
