Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of assembly equipment technology, specifically providing an assembly device. Background Technology

[0002] In the assembly process of electronic products, small components are typically assembled onto larger components. To improve assembly efficiency, assembly mechanisms are commonly used to pick up small components and then move them to the predetermined mounting positions on the larger components using robotic arms or other drive devices. To ensure assembly accuracy, the positional precision of the small components must be strictly controlled during the assembly process. This means that before assembly, the position of the small components must precisely correspond to their mounting positions on the larger components, thereby achieving high-precision assembly operations.

[0003] Currently, the method for adjusting the position of the assembly mechanism when gripping small parts involves adjusting the position of the assembly mechanism by setting an adjusting screw between the assembly mechanism and the drive assembly when the assembly mechanism is connected to the drive assembly, and then inserting a silicon steel sheet between the assembly mechanism and the drive assembly to adjust the position of the end of the assembly mechanism gripping the small part. However, this adjustment method has problems such as difficult operation, difficulty in controlling adjustment accuracy, time and labor consumption, and poor versatility. Specifically, when locking the silicon steel sheet with the adjusting screw, the position of the silicon steel sheet is difficult to control precisely, making the adjustment process complex and time-consuming. In addition, for different small parts, the positions of the adjusting screw and the silicon steel sheet need to be readjusted, further reducing the adjustment efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above, it is necessary to propose an assembly device that can quickly adjust the angle of the connected workpieces, and is simple to operate, convenient to use, and highly applicable.

[0005] This application provides an assembly device for assembling a first workpiece onto a second workpiece, comprising: a rotating mechanism; and an adjusting mechanism including a housing, a universal ball joint, a clamping member, a driving member, and two clamping members. The housing is connected to the rotating mechanism, and the housing has a receiving groove, with the opening of the receiving groove located on the side of the housing opposite to the rotating mechanism. The universal ball joint is rotatably disposed in the receiving groove and extends out of the opening of the receiving groove. The diameter of the universal ball joint is larger than the diameter of the opening of the receiving groove. The clamping member is disposed within the receiving groove and abuts against the universal ball joint. The head is located on the side opposite to the opening of the receiving groove. The driving member is inserted into the housing and extends into the receiving groove. Two clamping members are symmetrically arranged in the receiving groove and both abut against the retaining member with inclined surfaces. One end of the driving member extending into the receiving groove is connected to the two clamping members. The driving member is used to drive the two clamping members to move closer or further away from each other, so that the retaining members press or release the universal ball head. An assembly mechanism is connected to the end of the universal ball head that extends out of the receiving groove. The assembly mechanism is used to grasp the first workpiece and assemble the first workpiece into the second workpiece.

[0006] In some embodiments, the adjustment mechanism further includes a retaining ring, which is disposed in the opening of the receiving groove and abuts against the universal ball joint, and is used to cooperate with the retaining member to retain the universal ball joint.

[0007] In some embodiments, the adjustment mechanism further includes an intermediate block disposed on the side of the retaining member away from the universal ball head, and the intermediate block abuts against the two clamping members at an angle. When the two clamping members approach each other, they push the intermediate block toward the universal ball head, so that the intermediate block pushes against the retaining member to press the universal ball head.

[0008] In some embodiments, each of the clamping members has a first inclined surface on one side abutting the intermediate block, and the first inclined surfaces on the two clamping members are symmetrically arranged; the intermediate block has two second inclined surfaces symmetrically arranged on the side away from the clamping member, and the two second inclined surfaces are respectively arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the two first inclined surfaces; wherein, the angle between the plane where each first inclined surface is located and the extension direction of the center line of the housing is in the range of 60°~80°.

[0009] In some embodiments, a spherical groove is provided on the side of the retaining member that abuts against the universal ball joint, the spherical groove is adapted to the universal ball joint, and the bottom of the spherical groove abuts against the universal ball joint.

[0010] In some embodiments, the housing is provided with a strip-shaped hole on one side connected to the rotating mechanism, and each clamping member is provided with a limiting protrusion on the side away from the universal ball head. Each limiting protrusion is slidably inserted into the strip-shaped hole, and the strip-shaped hole is used to cooperate with the limiting protrusion to limit the clamping member.

[0011] In some embodiments, the side wall of the housing has a movable hole communicating with the receiving groove, the output end of the drive member passes through the movable hole and extends into the receiving groove, and the diameter of the movable hole is larger than the diameter of the output end of the drive member.

[0012] In some embodiments, the rotating mechanism includes a rotating drive and a connecting plate. The connecting plate is connected to the side of the housing opposite to the assembly mechanism, and the rotating drive is connected to the side of the connecting plate opposite to the housing. The rotating drive is used to drive the connecting plate to rotate around the centerline of the housing, thereby driving the adjusting mechanism and the assembly mechanism to rotate.

[0013] In some embodiments, the assembly mechanism includes an assembly base and a suction head. The assembly base includes a connecting portion and a sliding portion. The connecting portion is connected to one end of the universal ball head that extends out of the receiving groove. The sliding portion is perpendicularly connected to the connecting portion. The suction head is slidably connected to the sliding portion for adsorbing the first workpiece.

[0014] In some embodiments, the assembly mechanism further includes an elastic element disposed between the connecting portion and the suction head, with both ends of the elastic element abutting against the connecting portion and the suction head respectively, and the elastic element being used to push the suction head away from the connecting portion.

[0015] In the assembly device provided in this application embodiment, the adjustment mechanism includes a universal ball joint, which is rotatably disposed within a receiving groove. The assembly mechanism is connected to one end of the universal ball joint extending from the receiving groove, enabling the assembly mechanism to perform multi-angle fine-tuning around the universal ball joint as the center. Before assembly, the angle and posture of the assembly mechanism can be flexibly adjusted, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the position of the first workpiece and improving the accuracy and success rate of assembly. The driving component is used to drive the two clamping components to move closer or further apart: when the two clamping components move closer together, the clamping components push the holding component towards the universal ball joint to press the universal ball joint, locking it at a specific angle, thus ensuring the posture stability of the first workpiece during assembly; when the two clamping components move further apart, the holding component releases the universal ball joint, thereby allowing for readjustment of the angles of the universal ball joint and the assembly mechanism, enabling flexible adjustments at different assembly stages. The assembly device provided in this application adjusts the positions of two clamping members through a driving component, thereby enabling the clamping members to release and lock the universal ball joint. When the clamping members release the universal ball joint, the angle of the universal ball joint and the assembly mechanism can be quickly adjusted; when the clamping members lock the universal ball joint, material handling and assembly can be performed. The assembly device is simple to operate and convenient to use. Furthermore, for different types of first workpieces, the assembly requirements can be met by adjusting the angle of the universal ball joint and the assembly mechanism, demonstrating strong applicability.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0024] The embodiments of this application will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 This application provides an assembly device 100 for assembling a first workpiece 200 onto a second workpiece 300. The first workpiece 200 can be a small sheet or block, while the second workpiece 300 can be a large part, such as the casing or middle plate of an electronic product. The second workpiece 300 may have an assembly groove (not shown) adapted to the first workpiece 200, in which the first workpiece 200 is assembled. The assembly device 100 includes a rotating mechanism 10, an adjusting mechanism 20, and an assembly mechanism 30.

[0026] Specifically, the rotating mechanism 10 can be connected to an external drive device (not shown) so that the external drive device can drive the assembly device 100 to move, thereby enabling operations such as picking up materials and assembling. The external drive device can be a robotic arm, a three-axis linear module, or other drive devices.

[0027] Please see also Figure 4 The adjusting mechanism 20 includes a housing 21, a universal ball joint 22, a clamping member 23, a driving member 24, and two clamping members 25. The housing 21 is connected to the rotating mechanism 10. The housing 21 has a receiving groove 211, and the opening of the receiving groove 211 is located on the side of the housing 21 away from the rotating mechanism 10. The universal ball joint 22 is rotatably disposed in the receiving groove 211 and extends out of the opening of the receiving groove 211. The diameter of the universal ball joint 22 is larger than the diameter of the opening of the receiving groove 211. The clamping member 23... The drive member 24 is inserted into the housing 21 and extends into the receiving groove 211. Two clamping members 25 are symmetrically arranged in the receiving groove 211 and both abut against the retaining member 23 with their inclined surfaces. One end of the drive member 24 extending into the receiving groove 211 is connected to the two clamping members 25. The drive member 24 is used to drive the two clamping members 25 to move closer or further away from each other so that the retaining member 23 presses or releases the universal ball head 22.

[0028] The housing 21 can be a cylindrical structure, and the receiving groove 211 is a roughly cylindrical groove. The opening of the receiving groove 211 can be provided with a protrusion so that the opening of the receiving groove 211 can support the universal ball joint 22. In order to facilitate the processing of the housing 21 and the installation of the universal ball joint 22, the clamping member 23, the driving member 24 and the two clamping members 25 in the housing 21, the housing 21 can be composed of a split structure, including a main body 214 and a rear cover 215, and the main body 214 and the rear cover 215 can be detachably connected.

[0029] The portion of the universal ball joint 22 disposed in the receiving groove 211 has a spherical structure, and the end of the universal ball joint 22 extending out of the receiving groove 211 has a planar structure, so as to facilitate the connection between the universal ball joint 22 and the assembly mechanism 30.

[0030] In this embodiment, the retaining member 23 is made of a flexible material, such as urethane or ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene). This can increase the friction between the retaining member 23 and the universal ball joint 22, thereby improving the stability of the positioning of the universal ball joint 22 when the retaining member 23 presses against it.

[0031] The drive member 24 can be a cylindrical structure with external threads. One end of the drive member 24 extending out of the housing 21 can be provided with a detachable drive handle, which facilitates the rotation of the drive member 11 by the drive handle and also facilitates the connection of the drive member 24 with the two clamping members 25.

[0032] The clamping members 25 can be made of metal to improve structural strength, and the cross-sections of the two clamping members 25 are approximately trapezoidal. Both clamping members 25 are provided with internal threads, with one clamping member 25 having a left-hand thread and the other clamping member 25 having a right-hand thread. Thus, after the two clamping members 25 are threadedly connected to the driving member 24, the two clamping members 25 can be driven to move closer or further apart by rotating the driving member 11.

[0033] The assembly mechanism 30 is connected to one end of the universal ball joint 22 that extends out of the receiving groove 211. The assembly mechanism 30 is used to grip the first workpiece 200 and assemble the first workpiece 200 onto the second workpiece 300.

[0034] In the assembly device 100 provided in this embodiment, the adjustment mechanism 20 includes a universal ball joint 22, which is rotatably disposed within a receiving groove 211. An assembly mechanism 30 is connected to one end of the universal ball joint 22 extending out of the receiving groove 211, enabling the assembly mechanism 30 to perform multi-angle fine adjustments centered on the universal ball joint 22. Before assembly, the angle and orientation of the assembly mechanism 30 can be flexibly adjusted, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the position of the first workpiece 200 and improving the accuracy and success rate of assembly. The driving component 24 is used to drive the two clamping components 25 to move closer or further apart. When the two clamping components 25 move closer together, the clamping components 25 push the holding component 23 towards the universal ball joint 22 to hold the universal ball joint 22, locking it at a specific angle, thereby ensuring the posture stability of the first workpiece 200 during assembly. When the two clamping components 25 move further apart, the holding component 23 releases the universal ball joint 22, allowing for readjustment of the angles of the universal ball joint 22 and the assembly mechanism 30, enabling flexible adjustments at different assembly stages. The assembly device 100 provided in this application adjusts the position of the two clamping components 25 through the driving component 24, realizing the release and locking of the holding component 23 on the universal ball joint 22. When the holding component 23 releases the universal ball joint 22, the angles of the universal ball joint 22 and the assembly mechanism 30 can be quickly adjusted. When the holding component 23 locks the universal ball joint 22, material handling and assembly can be performed. The assembly device 100 is simple to operate and convenient to use. Furthermore, for different types of first workpieces 200, the assembly requirements can be met by adjusting the angles of the universal ball joint 22 and the assembly mechanism 30, making it highly adaptable.

[0035] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4The adjusting mechanism 20 also includes a retaining ring 26, which is disposed in the opening of the receiving groove 211 and abuts against the universal ball joint 22. The retaining ring 26 is used to cooperate with the retaining member 23 to retain the universal ball joint 22. The retaining ring 26 is generally annular in structure and is fixedly disposed in the opening of the receiving groove 211. The side of the retaining ring 26 that abuts against the universal ball joint 22 is provided with an arc surface structure adapted to the universal ball joint 22 to improve the stability of the retaining ring 26 abutting against the universal ball joint 22. The retaining ring 26 is made of flexible material, such as urethane or ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), which can improve the friction between the retaining ring 26 and the universal ball joint 22. By setting the retaining ring 26, it can work with the retaining member 23 to retain the universal ball head 22 from both the top and bottom directions, effectively preventing unnecessary shaking or displacement of the universal ball head 22 during rotation. Especially when the assembly mechanism 30 is performing the first workpiece 200 assembly operation, it can ensure that the universal ball head 22 always stays in the set position and angle, improving the stability and accuracy of the assembly.

[0036] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The adjustment mechanism 20 also includes an intermediate block 27, which is located on the side of the retaining member 23 away from the universal ball head 22. The intermediate block 27 and the two clamping members 25 are in inclined contact. When the two clamping members 25 approach each other, they push the intermediate block 27 towards the universal ball head 22, so that the intermediate block 27 pushes the retaining member 23 to hold the universal ball head 22. The intermediate block 27 is made of metal materials, such as aluminum alloy, titanium alloy, stainless steel, etc. It can be understood that in order to improve the stability of the retaining member 23 in holding the universal ball head 22, the retaining member 23 is made of flexible material, and the retaining member 23 itself has a large coefficient of friction, which affects the movement of the clamping member 25 pushing the retaining member 23. By setting the intermediate block 27, it can replace the retaining member 23 in contact with the clamping member 25. The friction between the clamping member 25 and the intermediate block 27 is small, so the flexibility of the clamping member 25 pushing the intermediate block 27 and the movement of the retaining member 23 can be improved.

[0037] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4Each clamping member 25 has a first inclined surface 251 on one side abutting against the intermediate block 27. The first inclined surfaces 251 on the two clamping members 25 are symmetrically arranged. The intermediate block 27 has two second inclined surfaces 271 symmetrically arranged on the side away from the retaining member 23. The two second inclined surfaces 271 correspond one-to-one with the first inclined surfaces 251 on the two clamping members 25. The angle between the plane of each first inclined surface 251 and the extension direction of the center line of the housing 21 is in the range of 60° to 80°. Through the cooperation of the first inclined surfaces 251 and the second inclined surfaces 271, the clamping member 25 can drive the intermediate block 27 to move longitudinally when moving laterally, thereby causing the retaining member 23 to move towards the universal ball joint 22. It can be understood that in this embodiment, the planes of each pair of first inclined surfaces 251 and second inclined surfaces 271 are parallel to each other. The angle between the plane containing each first inclined surface 251 and the extension direction of the centerline of the housing 21 can be 60°, 65°, 70°, 72°, 75°, or 80°, etc. Of course, the angle between the plane containing each first inclined surface 251 and the extension direction of the centerline of the housing 21 can also be any angle between 60° and 80°, and is not limited here. When the angle is less than 60°, the force transmission efficiency is greatly reduced, making it difficult to generate sufficient holding force to fix the universal ball joint 22. Friction between components increases, wear intensifies, structural rigidity decreases, and deformation and loosening become more likely. Operation becomes difficult, the adjustment range shrinks, and this seriously affects the normal operation of the assembly device 100 and the smooth progress of assembly work. When the angle is greater than 80°, problems such as poor force amplification, reduced adjustment accuracy, increased risk of stress concentration, and structural imbalance occur. It also leads to increased operational difficulty and slower response speed.

[0038] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 A spherical groove 231 is provided on the side of the retaining member 23 that abuts against the universal ball head 22. The spherical groove 231 is adapted to the universal ball head 22, and the bottom of the spherical groove 231 abuts against the universal ball head 22. The spherical groove 231 and the universal ball head 22 are adapted to fit tightly against the universal ball head 22. When the retaining member 23 presses against the universal ball head 22, the contact area between the two increases, and the force distribution is more uniform. This effectively avoids the universal ball head 22 from shaking or displacement due to single-point force, so that the assembly mechanism 30 maintains a stable angle and posture during operation, ensuring the accuracy of the assembly of the first workpiece 200.

[0039] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The housing 21, connected to the rotating mechanism 10, has a slotted hole 212 on one side. Each clamping member 25 has a limiting protrusion 252 on the side away from the universal ball head 22. Each limiting protrusion 252 is slidably inserted into the slotted hole 212, which is used to limit the clamping member 25 in conjunction with the limiting protrusion 252. Through the cooperation of the limiting protrusion 252 and the slotted hole 212, the position of the clamping member 25 can be restricted, preventing rotation or misalignment during the movement of the clamping member 25, improving the stability of the clamping member 25's operation, and thus improving the stability of the clamping member 25 in pushing against the clamping member 23 or the intermediate block 27.

[0040] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The side wall of the housing 21 has a movable hole 213 communicating with the receiving groove 211. The output end of the driving member 24 passes through the movable hole 213 and extends into the receiving groove 211, and the diameter of the movable hole 213 is larger than the diameter of the output end of the driving member 24. The output end of the driving member 24 is the end into which the driving member 24 is inserted into the receiving groove 211 and connected to the two clamping members 25. In this embodiment, it can also be understood as the threaded end of the driving member 24. By providing a movable hole 213 on the side wall of the housing 21, it is convenient for the driving member 24 to be inserted into the receiving groove 211. The diameter of the movable hole 213 is larger than the diameter of the output end of the driving member 24, which facilitates the installation of the driving member 24, making it easier to pass the output end of the driving member 24 through the movable hole 213 and extend into the receiving groove 211, reducing installation difficulty and time cost. The movable hole 213 allows the output end of the drive component 24 to have a small amount of movement within a certain range. This does not affect the driving function of the drive component 24 on the two clamping components 25. On the contrary, it can compensate for the positional deviation between the components caused by factors such as machining accuracy and assembly error to a certain extent, making the adjustment mechanism 20 more flexible and smooth in the overall operation, ensuring that the two clamping components 25 can accurately approach or move away from each other, thereby stably controlling the clamping and releasing of the universal ball head 22 by the clamping component 23.

[0041] In some embodiments, see Figure 1The rotating mechanism 10 includes a rotating drive component 11 and a connecting plate 12. The connecting plate 12 is connected to the side of the housing 21 opposite to the assembly mechanism 30, and the rotating drive component 11 is connected to the side of the connecting plate 12 opposite to the housing 21. The rotating drive component 11 drives the connecting plate 12 to rotate around the centerline of the housing 21, thereby driving the adjusting mechanism 20 and the assembly mechanism 30 to rotate, and in turn driving the first workpiece 200 to rotate. The rotating drive component 11 can be a rotating cylinder, a rotating motor, or other driving device. The rotating drive component 11 is connected to the adjusting mechanism 20 through the connecting plate 12, thereby driving the adjusting mechanism 20 and the assembly mechanism 30 to rotate. The rotating drive component 11 drives the connecting plate 12 to rotate around the centerline of the housing 21, thereby driving the adjusting mechanism 20 and the assembly mechanism 30 to rotate, so that the assembly mechanism 30 that grips the first workpiece 200 can operate at different angles, satisfying the assembly requirements of the first workpiece 200 and the second workpiece 300 under various angle conditions, greatly improving the flexibility and adaptability of the assembly device 100. By rotating the first workpiece 200, the position and angle of the first workpiece 200 can be finely adjusted during the assembly process, which helps to assemble the first workpiece 200 onto the second workpiece 300 more accurately, improve the accuracy and quality of assembly, and reduce assembly defects caused by angular deviations.

[0042] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The assembly mechanism 30 includes an assembly base 31 and a suction head 32. The assembly base 31 includes a connecting part 311 and a sliding part 312. The connecting part 311 is connected to one end of the universal ball head 22 extending out of the receiving groove 211. The sliding part 312 is perpendicularly connected to the connecting part 311. The suction head 32 is slidably connected to the sliding part 312 and is used to adsorb the first workpiece 200. The assembly base 31 is approximately L-shaped. The suction head 32 is connected to an external air extraction device (not shown). The external air extraction device extracts air from the suction head 32 to create negative pressure, thereby adsorbing the first workpiece 200. The suction head 32 is slidably connected to the sliding part 312. During the process of gripping the first workpiece 200, if the surface of the first workpiece 200 is uneven or the gripping position is deviated, the suction head 32 can slide appropriately on the assembly base 31 for self-adjustment and buffering. The buffering effect can reduce the damage to the first workpiece 200 caused by rigid contact, while also ensuring good contact between the suction head 32 and the first workpiece 200, thereby more stably adsorbing and gripping the first workpiece 200 and improving the stability and reliability of the assembly process.

[0043] In some embodiments, see Figure 1The assembly mechanism 30 also includes an elastic element 33, which is disposed between the connecting portion 311 and the suction head 32. Both ends of the elastic element 33 abut against the connecting portion 311 and the suction head 32, respectively. The elastic element 33 is used to push the suction head 32 away from the connecting portion 311. The elastic element 33 can be a spring or other elastic structural component. During the process of the suction head 32 adsorbing the first workpiece 200 and assembling the first workpiece 200 onto the second workpiece 300, a certain impact force may be generated due to factors such as movement speed and positional deviation. The elastic element 33 can act as a buffer at the moment of contact between the suction head 32 and the first workpiece 200, and during the assembly process, avoiding damage to the first workpiece 200, the second workpiece 300, and the assembly mechanism 30 itself, thus improving the safety and reliability of the assembly. Because the elastic element 33 has a stretchable characteristic, when the surface of the first workpiece 200 adsorbed by the suction head 32 is uneven, or when a slight positional deviation is encountered during the assembly process, the elastic element 33 can automatically stretch and contract according to the actual situation, so that the suction head 32 can better fit the surface of the first workpiece 200, always maintain stable adsorption of the first workpiece 200, and improve the assembly accuracy and success rate.

[0044] The working process of the assembly device 100 provided in this embodiment is roughly as follows:

[0045] Before assembly, the position of the suction head 32 of the assembly mechanism 30 needs to be adjusted. First, the driving component 24 drives the two clamping components 25 away from each other, so that the retaining component 23 releases the universal ball head 22. Then, the suction head 32 of the assembly mechanism 30 is placed against the assembly position of the second workpiece 300. Then, the universal ball head 22 is rotated to make the position of the suction head 32 consistent with the position of the second workpiece 300. Next, the driving component 24 drives the two clamping components 25 closer to each other. The two clamping components 25 push against the intermediate block 27 and the retaining component 23 and move towards the universal ball head 22 until the retaining component 23 cooperates with the retaining ring 26 to clamp the universal ball head 22, thus completing the adjustment of the position of the suction head 32.

[0046] During assembly, the suction head 32 first picks up the first workpiece 200, and then assembles it onto the second workpiece 300. If it is necessary to adjust the angle of the first workpiece 200 on the horizontal plane, the connecting plate 311 can be rotated by the rotary drive 11, which in turn drives the adjustment mechanism 20 and the assembly mechanism 30 to rotate, thereby adjusting the first workpiece 200. Then, the assembly device 100 assembles the first workpiece 200 onto the second workpiece 300. During the assembly process, the elastic element 33 can play a buffering role to avoid damage to the first workpiece 200 due to impact force, ensuring that the first workpiece 200 is accurately and stably assembled onto the second workpiece 300.
