Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic component technology, specifically to a production equipment for a micro switch. Background Technology

[0002] A micro switch is a type of switch with a small contact gap and a quick-acting mechanism. It operates by using a specified stroke and force to perform the switching action. It is covered by a housing and has a drive rod on the outside. Because the contact gap of the switch is relatively small, it is called a micro switch, also known as a sensitive switch.

[0003] Microswitches consist of a base, a top cover, several pins, a moving contact, and various other parts such as a tension spring. Currently, these parts are usually assembled manually by workers on an assembly line, then glued and sent to a dryer to dry, and finally the cover is installed. This process is extremely inefficient, time-consuming, and labor-intensive. Utility Model Content

[0004] In summary, to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a production equipment for micro switches that can automatically assemble micro switches.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a micro switch production equipment, comprising an assembly device and a capping device. The assembly device includes an assembly frame, a first robotic arm, a first vibratory plate, a first conveying mechanism, a dispensing assembly, a second conveying mechanism, and a drying assembly. Multiple first robotic arms and a plurality of first vibratory plates are provided. The first robotic arms are connected to the first vibratory plate. Multiple first robotic arms are positioned facing the first conveying mechanism. The first conveying mechanism is connected to the second conveying mechanism. The dispensing assembly is positioned facing the second conveying mechanism. The second conveying mechanism is positioned facing the drying assembly. The capping device includes a capping frame, a third robotic arm, a second vibratory plate, a fifth conveying mechanism, a sixth conveying mechanism, and a fourth robotic arm. Multiple third robotic arms and a plurality of second vibratory plates are provided. The third robotic arms are connected to the second vibratory plate. Multiple third robotic arms are positioned facing the sixth conveying mechanism. The fifth conveying mechanism is positioned facing the sixth conveying mechanism. The fourth robotic arm is located between the fifth and sixth conveying mechanisms. The fifth conveying mechanism is connected to the drying assembly.

[0006] With this setup, each first vibratory feeder contains components of various microswitches, such as bases, top covers, swing plates, pins, and tension springs. These components are conveyed by the first vibratory feeders to the corresponding first robotic arm. The first robotic arm places the base onto the first conveyor mechanism, then conveys it to the next station where the pins are inserted into the base. The process continues, connecting the swing plates, tension springs, and other pins. After assembly, the components are conveyed to the second conveyor mechanism, where a dispensing assembly next to it applies adhesive to the pins. The dispensing assembly uses a syringe-like structure to apply the adhesive. After dispensing, the components are conveyed to the drying assembly for drying and curing, and then the components are again conveyed out by the second conveyor mechanism. The entire process is automated and highly efficient. The upper cover can be assembled directly or moved to another device for installation after the glue has cured. The number and position of the first robotic arm and the first vibratory plate can be adjusted according to the specific structure of the micro switch. After the glue on the micro switch is cured by the drying component, it will be transported to the fifth conveying mechanism connected to it. Then the fifth conveying mechanism will send the micro switch to the sixth conveying mechanism. Several third robotic arms next to the sixth conveying mechanism will pick up the upper cover from the corresponding second vibratory plate and place it on the sixth conveying mechanism. Then the button switch will be placed in the corresponding position. After that, the fourth robotic arm can pick up the micro switch on the fifth conveying mechanism and press it onto the upper cover to complete the installation. This cycle can be repeated to install covers on a large number of micro switches. The installation is convenient and efficient.

[0007] Furthermore, the capping device also includes a detection mechanism located at the position of the fifth conveying mechanism, which is used to detect the components of the micro switch.

[0008] With this setup, the testing agency can inspect the microswitches before they are covered. If any parts are found to be missing, they can be removed, preventing defective products from being produced due to missing parts being covered. Defective products can be removed by a robotic arm.

[0009] Furthermore, it also includes a turning component, which is rotatably positioned between the drying assembly and the fifth conveying mechanism, and each side of the turning component is provided with a turning groove adapted to a micro switch.

[0010] With this setup, the microswitch is dried with its bottom facing upwards, while the inspection mechanism inspects the parts from above. After the flipping component is installed, the microswitch coming out of the drying assembly will enter the flipping groove. Then, the flipping component is driven by a motor and other conventional parts to rotate 180 degrees, so that the bottom-facing microswitch becomes bottom-facing. After that, it is transported by the fifth conveyor mechanism for successful inspection. The flipping component can be installed on the assembly rack or on the cover rack.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a transfer mechanism, which includes a transfer track, a transfer block, a first pusher and a second pusher. The transfer block is provided with a movable groove, and the transfer track is connected to the movable groove. The first pusher is slidably disposed in the movable groove and is provided with a transfer groove adapted to a micro switch. The second pusher pushes the micro switch in the transfer groove into the flipping groove.

[0012] With this configuration, the micro switch will enter the transfer groove on the first pusher in the movable groove, and then press against the inner wall of the movable groove, preventing it from going too far and falling out. Then, the first pusher is pushed by conventional parts such as cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, and electric push rods to move within the movable groove until the transfer groove is aligned with the flipping groove. At this point, the second pusher is pushed by conventional parts such as cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, and electric push rods to push the micro switch in the transfer groove into the flipping groove, resulting in a stable structure.

[0013] Furthermore, it also includes a steering robot that turns the micro switch at the drying assembly and then moves it onto the fifth conveying mechanism.

[0014] With this configuration, the steering robot can change the angle of the micro switch and transport it on the fifth conveying mechanism, changing it from horizontal to vertical transport. The former is more convenient for drying, while the latter is more convenient for inspection. The steering robot can directly move the micro switch at the drying component or move the micro switch on the flipping component.

[0015] Furthermore, it also includes a flipping component, which is rotatably connected to the assembly frame at a position between the first conveying mechanism and the second conveying mechanism, and each side of the flipping component is provided with a flipping groove adapted to a micro switch.

[0016] With this setup, a flipping component, similar to that used in the drying assembly, can be placed between the first and second conveying mechanisms. Since the microswitch is assembled by first placing the base and then inserting the pins, swing plates, tension springs, and other parts from above, the microswitch needs to be flipped so that its bottom face is facing up before applying adhesive. The flipping component allows for successful flipping and conveying. The microswitch assembled on the first conveying mechanism will be conveyed to the flipping slot first. Then, the flipping component is driven by a motor and other conventional parts to rotate 180 degrees. This flips the microswitch in the flipping slot and places it on the second conveying mechanism for adhesive application. After the flipping and conveying is completed, the other flipping slot will move to the position of the first conveying mechanism. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient.

[0017] Furthermore, the assembly device also includes a third conveying mechanism, which is located between the flipping component and the first conveying mechanism. The third conveying mechanism is disposed toward the flipping groove, which extends through both the front and rear sides toward the direction of the third conveying mechanism.

[0018] With this configuration, the top surface of the flipping slot can be set to a fully enclosed or semi-enclosed state. The micro switch is fed into the flipping slot from the side by the third conveying mechanism. This way, the micro switch will not fall out of the flipping slot when the flipping part rotates, making it more stable. The third conveying mechanism can be set to the form of a telescopic machine plus a pusher to push the micro switch.

[0019] Furthermore, the first conveying mechanism includes a first rotating disk, and a plurality of the first robotic arms are arranged sequentially around the first rotating disk.

[0020] With this setup, the first rotating disk is driven by the motor and other parts to rotate on the assembly frame, while the first robotic arm removes the parts from the first vibrating disk and assembles them on the first rotating disk. Using a circular conveyor instead of a strip conveyor reduces the time and space required, and circular conveying is more convenient for circulation.

[0021] Furthermore, the first rotating disk is provided with a plurality of assembly blocks arranged around the center of the first rotating disk, and each assembly block is provided with two assembly slots.

[0022] With this setup, the assembly process will take place in the assembly slots on the assembly block. After setting two assembly slots, the base and the bottom pin can be placed in one assembly slot first, and then the swing plate and the top pin can be placed in the other assembly slot, and then the tension spring can be hung. After that, the swing plate with the tension spring installed and the remaining pin are clamped onto the base by the first robotic arm and inserted for installation. The assembly slot for assembling the tension spring can be set to a fitting shape to increase stability and facilitate the installation of the tension spring, or a clamping mechanism can be set to clamp the swing plate after it is placed in and then install the tension spring.

[0023] Furthermore, the sixth conveying mechanism includes a second rotating disk, and a plurality of the third robotic arms are arranged sequentially around the second rotating disk.

[0024] With this setup, the second rotating disk is driven by the motor and other parts to rotate on the mounting frame, while the third robotic arm removes the parts from the second vibrating disk and assembles them on the second rotating disk. Using a circular conveyor instead of a strip-shaped one reduces the time and space required, and the circular conveyor makes circulation easier. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0040] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present embodiment and is not intended to limit the present embodiment. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to the present embodiment without contributing any inventive step, but such modifications are protected by patent law as long as they fall within the scope of the claims of the present embodiment.

[0041] Referring to the accompanying drawings, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A micro switch production equipment includes an assembly device 1 and a capping device 2. The assembly device 1 includes an assembly frame 101, a first robotic arm 102, a first vibratory feeder 103, a first conveying mechanism 104, a dispensing assembly 105, a second conveying mechanism 106, and a drying assembly 107. Several first robotic arms 102 and several first vibratory feeders 103 are provided. The first robotic arms 102 are connected to the first vibratory feeder 103. Several first robotic arms 102 are arranged facing the first conveying mechanism 104. The first conveying mechanism 104 is connected to the second conveying mechanism 106. The dispensing assembly 105 is arranged facing the second conveying mechanism 106, and the second conveying mechanism 106 is arranged facing the drying assembly 107. The capping device 2 includes a capping frame 201, a third robotic arm 202, and a second vibratory feeder. 203, fifth conveying mechanism 204, sixth conveying mechanism 205, and fourth robotic arm 206. Several third robotic arms 202 and several second vibratory feeders 203 are provided. The third robotic arms 202 are connected to the second vibratory feeder 203. Several third robotic arms 202 are positioned facing the sixth conveying mechanism 205. The fifth conveying mechanism 204 is positioned facing the sixth conveying mechanism 205. The fourth robotic arm 206 is located between the fifth conveying mechanism 204 and the sixth conveying mechanism 205. The fifth conveying mechanism 204 is connected to the drying assembly 107. The above configuration is not limited. A pressing and dust-collecting structure can also be provided next to each conveying mechanism to increase the stability of the micro switch 6 after installation. The pressing structure can also be directly provided on some robotic arms to press the previous installation during the clamping and installation process. A robotic arm for unloading can also be provided.

[0042] With this setup, during use, each of the first vibratory feeders 103 will contain various components of the micro switch 6, such as the base 601, top cover 602, swing plate 605, various pins 604, and tension spring 606. These components are then conveyed by the first vibratory feeders 103 to the corresponding positions of the first robotic arms 102. The first robotic arms 102 will place the base 601 onto the first conveying mechanism 104, and then convey it to the next station to insert the pins 604 onto the base 601. The process continues, connecting the swing plate 605, tension spring 606, and other pins 604. After assembly, the components are conveyed to the second conveying mechanism 106, where the dispensing assembly 105 dispenses adhesive onto the pins 604 using a syringe-like structure. After dispensing, the components are conveyed to the drying assembly 107 for drying and curing, and then further conveyed out by the second conveying mechanism 106. The entire process is automated. The system is automated and highly efficient. The top cover 602 can be directly assembled or moved to another device for installation after the adhesive has cured. The number and position of the first robotic arm 102 and the first vibratory plate 103 can be adjusted according to the specific structure of the micro switch 6. After the adhesive on the micro switch 6 is cured by the drying component 107, it will be transported to the fifth conveying mechanism 204 connected to it. Then, the fifth conveying mechanism 204 will send the micro switch 6 to the sixth conveying mechanism 205. Several third robotic arms 202 next to the sixth conveying mechanism 205 will pick up the top cover 602 from the corresponding second vibratory plate 203 and place it on the sixth conveying mechanism 205. Then, the button switch 603 will be placed in the corresponding position. After that, the fourth robotic arm 206 can pick up the micro switch 6 on the fifth conveying mechanism 204 and press it onto the top cover 602 to complete the installation. This cycle can be repeated to install covers on a large number of micro switches 6. The installation is convenient and efficient.

[0043] In this preferred embodiment, the drying component 107 is an ultraviolet irradiation box.

[0044] With this setup, the UV irradiation chamber achieves higher drying efficiency.

[0045] In a preferred embodiment, the cover-mounting device 2 further includes a detection mechanism 207, which is located at the position of the fifth conveying mechanism 204. The detection mechanism 207 is used to detect the components of the micro switch 6.

[0046] With this setup, the inspection mechanism 207 can inspect the micro switch 6 before it is covered. If a part is found to be missing, it can be removed, thus preventing the micro switch 6 with missing parts from being covered and causing defective products to be produced. Defective products can be removed by a robotic arm.

[0047] In this preferred embodiment, the detection mechanism 207 is a CCD detector.

[0048] With this setup, CCD vision inspection achieves higher accuracy, faster speed, and stronger stability.

[0049] In this preferred embodiment, a flipping component 3 is also included. The flipping component 3 is rotatably disposed between the drying assembly 107 and the fifth conveying mechanism 204. A flipping groove 301 adapted to the micro switch 6 is provided on each side of the flipping component 3.

[0050] With this setup, the micro switch 6 is dried with its bottom facing upwards, while the detection mechanism 207 detects the condition of the parts from above. After setting the flipping component 3, the micro switch 6 coming out of the drying assembly 107 will enter the flipping groove 301. Then, the flipping component 3 is driven by a motor or other conventional parts to rotate 180 degrees, so that the bottom-facing micro switch 6 becomes bottom-facing. After that, it is transported by the fifth conveying mechanism 204 and can be successfully detected. The flipping component 3 can be installed on the assembly frame 101 or on the cover frame 201.

[0051] In this preferred embodiment, a transfer mechanism 4 is also included. The transfer mechanism 4 includes a transfer track 401, a transfer block 402, a first pusher 403, and a second pusher 404. The transfer block 402 is provided with a movable groove 4021. The transfer track 401 is connected to the movable groove 4021. The first pusher 403 is slidably disposed in the movable groove 4021. The first pusher 403 is provided with a transfer groove 4031 adapted to the micro switch 6. The second pusher 404 pushes the micro switch 6 in the transfer groove 4031 into the flipping groove 301. The above configuration is not limited. The transfer track 401 can also directly use the unloading track of the drying assembly 107 or the track of the second conveying mechanism 106. An air pump can also be used for conveying behind the drying assembly 107.

[0052] With this configuration, the micro switch 6 will enter the transfer groove 4031 on the first pusher 403 in the movable groove 4021, and then press against the inner wall of the movable groove 4021, preventing it from going too far and falling out. Then, the first pusher 403 is pushed by conventional parts such as cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, and electric push rods to move within the movable groove 4021 until the transfer groove 4031 is aligned with the flipping groove 301. At this point, the second pusher 404 is pushed by conventional parts such as cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, and electric push rods to push the micro switch 6 in the transfer groove 4031 into the flipping groove 301, resulting in a stable structure.

[0053] In this preferred embodiment, a steering robot 5 is also included. The steering robot 5 turns the micro switch 6 at the drying component 107 and then moves it to the fifth conveying mechanism 204. The above is not a limitation. The steering robot 5 can directly place the micro switch 6 on the fifth conveying mechanism 204, or it can move it indirectly by first placing it on the transfer track 401 and then transferring it to the fifth conveying mechanism 204.

[0054] With this configuration, the steering robot 5 can change the angle of the micro switch 6 and transport it on the fifth conveying mechanism 204, changing it from horizontal conveying to vertical conveying. The former is more convenient for drying, and the latter is more convenient for inspection. The steering robot 5 can directly move the micro switch 6 at the drying component 107 or move the micro switch 6 on the flipping component 3.

[0055] In this preferred embodiment, a transfer mechanism 4 is also included. The transfer mechanism 4 includes a transfer track 401, a transfer block 402, a first pusher 403, and a second pusher 404. The transfer block 402 is provided with a movable groove 4021. The transfer track 401 is connected to the movable groove 4021. The first pusher 403 is slidably disposed in the movable groove 4021. The first pusher 403 is provided with a transfer groove 4031 adapted to the micro switch 6. The second pusher 404 pushes the micro switch 6 in the transfer groove 4031 into the fifth conveying mechanism 204. The transfer mechanism 4 mentioned above uses the same structure as the transfer mechanism 4 at the drying assembly 107, and the specific shape is adapted and adjusted according to the actual position.

[0056] With this configuration, the micro switch 6 will enter the transfer groove 4031 on the first pusher 403 in the movable groove 4021, and then press against the inner wall of the movable groove 4021, preventing it from going too far and falling out. Then, the first pusher 403 is pushed by conventional parts such as cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, and electric push rods to move within the movable groove 4021 until the transfer groove 4031 is aligned with the fifth conveying mechanism 204. At this point, the second pusher 404 is pushed by conventional parts such as cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, and electric push rods to push the micro switch 6 in the transfer groove 4031 into the fifth conveying mechanism 204. The structure is stable and can be transported at high speed on the transfer track 401. When it reaches the fifth conveying mechanism 204 for testing, the speed is reduced for convenient testing.

[0057] In a preferred embodiment, the transfer track 401 includes a transport rod 4011, and the transport rod 4011 is provided with transport grooves 40111 that extend through both sides toward the sixth conveying mechanism 205.

[0058] With this configuration, the micro switch 6 will be transported in the transport groove 40111 on the transport rod 4011, resulting in a simple structure.

[0059] In this preferred embodiment, the two sides of the transport groove 40111 are provided with limiting grooves 40112 adapted to the micro switch 6. The above setting is not limited. The limiting groove 40112 can be a groove directly machined in the transport groove 40111 or a part added to the top of the transport rod 4011 to form a gap as the limiting groove 40112. The end of the transport groove 40111 can also be provided with a groove platform for placing the micro switch 6 to enter the limiting groove 40112 from the side.

[0060] With this configuration, the micro switch 6 will slide within the limit groove 40112 during transportation, preventing it from bouncing up during transport and making it more stable.

[0061] In this preferred embodiment, the transfer track 401 is delivered by an air pump.

[0062] With this configuration, an air pipe can be installed on the side of the transport rod 4011 to connect to an air pump. When the micro switch 6 is placed in the transport groove 40111, the air pump will blow air to transport the micro switch 6 to the other end. The structure is simple and the transport is fast.

[0063] In this preferred embodiment, a flipping component 3 is also included. The flipping component 3 is rotatably connected to the cover mounting frame 201 at a position between the fifth conveying mechanism 204 and the sixth conveying mechanism 205. A flipping groove 301 adapted to the micro switch 6 is provided on each side of the flipping component 3.

[0064] With this setup, the detection mechanism 207 can be positioned above the fifth conveying mechanism 204. When the micro switch 6 is conveyed on the fifth conveying mechanism 204 with its top facing upwards, it can be detected by the detection mechanism 207. After the detection is completed, the qualified micro switch 6 will enter the flipping groove 301, and the flipping part 3 will be driven by a motor and other conventional parts to rotate 180 degrees to change its top face downwards. In this way, the fourth robotic arm 206 can directly clamp it and insert it above the top cover 602 with its bottom face facing upwards for installation.

[0065] In a preferred embodiment, the cover-loading device 2 further includes a seventh conveying mechanism 208, which is located between the flipping component 3 and the sixth conveying mechanism 205. The seventh conveying mechanism 208 is disposed toward the flipping groove 301, which extends through the front and rear sides toward the seventh conveying mechanism 208.

[0066] With this configuration, the top surface of the flipping groove 301 can be set to a fully enclosed or semi-enclosed state. The micro switch 6 is fed into the flipping groove 301 from the side by the seventh conveying mechanism 208. In this way, the micro switch 6 will not fall out of the flipping groove 301 when the flipping part 3 rotates, making it more stable. The seventh conveying mechanism 208 can be set to a telescopic mechanism plus a pusher to push the micro switch 6.

[0067] In this preferred embodiment, one of the two flipping grooves 301 has a top opening and the other has a bottom opening, and the width of the opening is smaller than that of the micro switch 6.

[0068] With this configuration, the opening of the flipping groove 301 facilitates the pushing of the seventh conveying mechanism 208, while also preventing it from scratching parts such as the pin 604 and tension spring 606, thus making it more stable. The opening can be made by setting a protrusion to reduce the width, or by setting an additional groove in the flipping groove 301 to place the micro switch 6.

[0069] In this preferred embodiment, a flipping component 3 is also included. The flipping component 3 is rotatably connected to the assembly frame 101 at a position between the first conveying mechanism 104 and the second conveying mechanism 106. Each side of the flipping component 3 is provided with a flipping groove 301 adapted to the micro switch 6. The above setting is not limited. All the flipping components 3 are the same type of part, and the specific shape can be adjusted and adapted according to the installation position. Only one flipping groove 301 can be provided, so that after the conveying is completed, it can be rotated 180 degrees back to the original position.

[0070] With this configuration, a flipping component 3, identical to that at the drying assembly 107, can also be installed between the first conveying mechanism 104 and the second conveying mechanism 106. Since the micro switch 6 is assembled by first placing the base 601 and then inserting the pins 604, swing plate 605, tension spring 606, and other parts from above, the micro switch 6 needs to be flipped so that its bottom face is facing up before applying adhesive. The flipping component 3 can successfully flip and transport the micro switch 6. After being assembled on the first conveying mechanism 104, the micro switch 6 will be transported to the flipping groove 301. Then, the flipping component 3 is driven by a motor and other conventional parts to rotate 180 degrees. In this way, the micro switch 6 in the flipping groove 301 will be flipped and placed on the second conveying mechanism 106 for adhesive application. After the flipping and transport is completed, the other flipping groove 301 will move to the position of the first conveying mechanism 104. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient.

[0071] In a preferred embodiment, the assembly device 1 further includes a third conveying mechanism 108, which is located between the flipping component 3 and the first conveying mechanism 104. The third conveying mechanism 108 is disposed toward the flipping groove 301, which extends through the front and rear sides toward the direction of the third conveying mechanism 108.

[0072] With this configuration, the top surface of the flipping groove 301 can be set to a fully enclosed or semi-enclosed state. The micro switch 6 is fed into the flipping groove 301 from the side by the third conveying mechanism 108. In this way, the micro switch 6 will not fall out of the flipping groove 301 when the flipping part 3 rotates, making it more stable. The third conveying mechanism 108 can be set to a telescopic mechanism plus a pusher to push the micro switch 6.

[0073] In this preferred embodiment, one of the two flipping grooves 301 has a top opening and the other has a bottom opening, and the width of the opening is smaller than that of the micro switch 6.

[0074] With this configuration, the opening of the flipping groove 301 facilitates the pushing of the third conveying mechanism 108, while also preventing it from scratching parts such as the pin 604 and the tension spring 606, thus making it more stable. The opening can be made by setting a protrusion to reduce the width, or by setting an additional groove in the flipping groove 301 to place the micro switch 6.

[0075] In a preferred embodiment, the assembly device 1 further includes a fourth conveying mechanism 109. The second conveying mechanism 106 includes two conveying rods 1061. The side of each conveying rod 1061 facing the other conveying rod 1061 is provided with a conveying groove 10611 adapted to the micro switch 6. The fourth conveying mechanism 109 includes a pushing block 1091. The pushing block 1091 pushes the micro switch 6 in the flipping groove 301 into the conveying groove 10611. The above setting is not limited, and the bottoms of the two conveying rods 1061 can also be connected and integrally set.

[0076] With this configuration, the conveying grooves 10611 on the two conveying rods 1061 on both sides will hold the micro switch 6, making the conveying more stable. The fourth conveying mechanism 109 will drive the push block 1091 through various common structures such as cylinders, hydraulic cylinders or electric push rods to push the micro switch 6 in the flipping groove 301 into the conveying groove 10611. The operation is simple. When the flipping groove 301 is open, the push block 1091 can also move in the opening, making it smoother. The third conveying mechanism 108 can also use the same structure as the fourth conveying mechanism 109.

[0077] In a preferred embodiment, the second conveying mechanism 106 further includes a conveying component 1062. The top of the conveying component 1062 is provided with a plurality of conveying blocks 1063. The top of the conveying block 1063 is provided with a positioning groove 10631 adapted to the micro switch 6. The conveying component 1062 moves up and down and horizontally on the assembly frame 101.

[0078] With this configuration, the conveyor 1062 can be connected to various common structures such as cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, electric push rods, or screws to achieve both lifting and horizontal movement functions. In use, it first descends to disengage from the micro switch 6, then moves to the bottom of another micro switch 6 and rises up, so that the micro switch 6 is inserted into the positioning slot 10631. After that, it moves horizontally to the bottom of the dispensing assembly 105 for dispensing, which is more precise and can avoid misaligned dispensing. After dispensing, it is pushed to the direction of the drying assembly 107 and descends again for the next set of dispensing. After the next set of dispensing, another micro switch 6 will be conveyed to the side of the previous micro switch 6. This process is repeated so that a large number of dispensing micro switches 6 are continuously sent over and pushed into the drying assembly 107. The number of conveyors 1062 can be adapted to the number of dispensing assemblies 105.

[0079] In a preferred embodiment, the assembly device 1 further includes a second robotic arm 110, which is located between the first conveying mechanism 104 and the second conveying mechanism 106.

[0080] With this configuration, the second robotic arm 110 can hold the micro switch 6 assembled on the first conveying mechanism 104 and move it directly to the second conveying mechanism 106, or move it to the third conveying mechanism 108 first and then transfer it by the third conveying mechanism 108, which is more stable and precise.

[0081] In this preferred embodiment, three dispensing assemblies 105 are provided, and the three dispensing assemblies 105 are arranged sequentially toward the second conveying mechanism 106.

[0082] With this configuration, the three dispensing assemblies 105 can dispense adhesive to the three pins 604 of the micro switch 6 respectively, with each dispensing assembly 105 dispensing adhesive to only one pin 604, resulting in greater stability.

[0083] In a preferred embodiment, the second conveying mechanism 106 further includes a limiting block 1064, which is located on the side of the second conveying mechanism 106 facing the dispensing assembly 105.

[0084] With this configuration, the limit block 1064 can limit the dispensing assembly 105. The dispensing assembly 105 will stop after pressing against the limit block 1064, ensuring that the nozzle of the dispensing assembly 105 is just above the micro switch 6.

[0085] In a preferred embodiment, the first conveying mechanism 104 includes a first rotating disk 1041, and a plurality of first robotic arms 102 are arranged sequentially around the first rotating disk 1041.

[0086] With this configuration, the first rotating disk 1041 will be driven by the motor and other parts to rotate on the assembly frame 101, while the first robotic arm 102 will remove the parts from the first vibrating disk 103 and assemble them on the first rotating disk 1041. Using a circular conveyor instead of a strip conveyor reduces the time and space required, and the circular conveyor is more convenient for circulation.

[0087] In a preferred embodiment, the first rotating disk 1041 is provided with a plurality of assembly blocks 1042 arranged around the center of the first rotating disk 1041, and the assembly block 1042 is provided with two assembly slots 10421.

[0088] With this setup, the assembly process will take place in the assembly slot 10421 on the assembly block 1042. After setting two assembly slots 10421, the base 601 and the bottom pin 604 can be placed in one of the assembly slots 10421 first, and then the swing piece 605 and the top pin 604 can be placed in the other assembly slot 10421, and then the tension spring 606 can be hung on it. After that, the swing piece 605 with the tension spring 606 installed and the remaining pin 604 are clamped together by the first robotic arm 102 and inserted into the base 601 for installation. The assembly slot 10421 for assembling the tension spring 606 can be set to a fitting shape to increase stability and facilitate the installation of the tension spring 606, or a clamping mechanism can be set to clamp the swing piece 605 after it is placed in and then install the tension spring 606.

[0089] In this preferred embodiment, the sixth conveying mechanism 205 includes a second rotating disk 2051, and a plurality of third robotic arms 202 are arranged sequentially around the second rotating disk 2051. The above configuration is not limited. The second rotating disk 2051 may also be provided with a mounting block with a groove adapted to the upper cover 602 for easy placement of the upper cover 602. An infrared detection device may also be provided to detect the button switch 603 inside the upper cover 602.

[0090] With this configuration, the second rotating disk 2051 will be driven by the motor and other parts to rotate on the cover frame 201, while the third robotic arm 202 will remove the parts from the second vibrating disk 203 and assemble them on the second rotating disk 2051. Choosing a circular conveyor instead of a strip-shaped one reduces the time and space required, and the circular conveyor is more convenient for circulation.

[0091] In a preferred embodiment, the cover-mounting device 2 further includes a plasma air assembly 209, which is disposed toward the sixth conveying mechanism 205.

[0092] With this setup, the plasma air can remove dust and static electricity from the inside of the top cover 602, facilitating the installation of other parts.
