Detailed Implementation

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] Example:

[0019] Please refer to Figure 1. This utility model provides a technical solution: an automatic assembly equipment for transparent grinding caps based on visual inspection, including a turntable 8. The turntable 8 is equipped with a conveying group, which conveys the upper cover, middle cover, and lower cover of the grinding cap to the side of the turntable 8. The turntable 8 automatically transports the upper cover, middle cover, and lower cover to different workstations by rotating.

[0020] The robotic arm 14 is installed in the opening at the center of the turntable 8. The opening ensures that the robotic arm 14 will not rotate with the turntable 8. The turntable 8 and the robotic arm 14 operate independently of each other. The robotic arm 14 picks up the upper cover, middle cover and lower cover and places them on the turntable 8. The coordinated work of the robotic arm 14 and the turntable 8 reduces human intervention, realizes the automation of the production process and reduces labor costs.

[0021] The pressing cylinder 16 is installed on the side of the turntable 8. The pressing cylinder 16 assembles the upper cover, middle cover and lower cover into the product. The pressing cylinder 16 is equipped with a pressure sensor. The addition of the pressure sensor allows for precise control of the pressure during the pressing process, avoiding damage to the workpiece due to excessive pressure or insecure assembly due to insufficient pressure, ensuring product consistency. By monitoring the pressure changes in the pressing process in real time through the pressure sensor, abnormal situations can be detected and adjusted in a timely manner, ensuring assembly quality and reducing the defect rate.

[0022] A discharge line 10 receives products and is equipped with a vision inspection machine 11. The vision inspection machine 11 determines whether the products are qualified. A robotic arm 14 delivers the products to the discharge line 10. The industrial camera and light source of the vision inspection machine 11 ensure that high-definition images are captured. The image processing software analyzes the images to automatically determine whether the products are qualified. Unqualified products are marked and diverted to a non-qualified area.

[0023] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 1, the conveying group includes an upper cover conveying line 6, a middle cover conveying line 5, and a lower cover conveying line 4. Each of the upper cover conveying line 6, the middle cover conveying line 5, and the lower cover conveying line 4 is equipped with an anomaly detector 15 and a photoelectric sensor 13. The anomaly detector 15 detects jamming or positional deviation of the upper cover, middle cover, or lower cover, which can promptly detect and alarm, and suspend the assembly of the product to avoid continuous errors. The photoelectric sensor 13 detects whether the upper cover, middle cover, and lower cover are correctly placed to avoid omissions or misplacements.

[0024] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 1, the lower cover conveyor line 4, the middle cover conveyor line 5, and the upper cover conveyor line 6 are respectively equipped with a first material tray 1, a second material tray 2, and a third material tray 3, which can temporarily store the upper cover, the middle cover, and the lower cover, facilitating continuous production of the product.

[0025] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 1, a lubricator 7 is provided on the side of the turntable 8. The lubricator 7 adds lubricant to the upper cover, middle cover and lower cover gripped by the robotic arm. The lubricant can reduce the friction between the upper cover, middle cover and lower cover, making the assembly process smoother and reducing the wear or jamming of the workpiece caused by friction.

[0026] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 1, an electrostatic precipitator 12 is installed on the discharge line 10. The electrostatic precipitator 12 removes dust from the product. The electrostatic precipitator 12 uses an ion air bar. The product passes through a closed dust removal channel to ensure that the product is hygienic and qualified.

[0027] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 1, the surface of the turntable 8 is provided with several clamps 9, which fix the upper cover, middle cover and lower cover to ensure that the upper cover, middle cover and lower cover remain stable during the assembly process.

[0028] Specifically, during use, the operators take the top cover, middle cover and bottom cover out of the material rack according to the production plan and place them in the first material tray 1, the second material tray 2 and the third material tray 3 in fixed positions. Before placing them, the operators need to check whether there are scratches, deformation or other defects on the surface of the top cover, middle cover and bottom cover to ensure that only qualified parts enter the production line.

[0029] Photoelectric sensors 13 are installed at the starting ends of the upper cover conveyor line 6, the middle cover conveyor line 5, and the lower cover conveyor line 4 to detect whether the upper cover, middle cover, and lower cover are correctly placed, so as to avoid omission or misplacement.

[0030] The system adopts a segmented conveyor line, with the upper cover conveyor line 6, the middle cover conveyor line 5, and the lower cover conveyor line 4 corresponding to the upper cover, middle cover, and lower cover. The conveyor line speed is adjustable to ensure that the upper cover, middle cover, and lower cover arrive at the robot arm 14 pick-up position synchronously.

[0031] The operation rhythm of the upper cover conveyor line 6, middle cover conveyor line 5, and lower cover conveyor line 4 is controlled by a PLC (programmable logic controller) to ensure that the upper cover, middle cover, and lower cover arrive at the picking position of the robot arm 14 at the same time.

[0032] The upper cover conveyor line 6, the middle cover conveyor line 5, and the lower cover conveyor line 4 are equipped with an abnormality detector 15. If the upper cover, middle cover, or lower cover is stuck or misaligned, the abnormality detector 15 will automatically alarm and stop the machine.

[0033] A high-precision robotic arm 14 is used, which is equipped with a flexible suction cup to avoid damaging the surfaces of the top cover, middle cover and bottom cover during gripping.

[0034] After the robotic arm 14 picks up the top cover, middle cover and bottom cover, it moves them to the lubricant spraying station. The lubricant is added to the fasteners by the lubricator 7 in a measured amount to ensure smooth assembly of the top cover, middle cover and bottom cover.

[0035] The turntable 8 is equipped with a clamp 9 to ensure that the upper cover, middle cover and lower cover remain stable during the assembly process. The turntable 8 rotates to the pressing station, and the upper cover, middle cover and lower cover are pressed together by the pressing cylinder 16 to form the product.

[0036] The robotic arm 14 places the product into the discharge line 10, and the vision inspection machine 11 takes a full-view picture of the assembled product (whether the top cover, middle cover and bottom cover are aligned; whether there are scratches, stains or defects on the surface; whether the lubricant is evenly applied). The image processing software analyzes the shooting results and automatically determines whether the product is qualified. Unqualified products will be marked and diverted to the unqualified area.

[0037] The product passes through a closed dust removal channel. Ionizing air bars generate positive and negative ions to neutralize static electricity and blow away dust. The product surface cleanliness must meet the standard before it can proceed to the next stage.

[0038] The vision inspection machine 11 is equipped with a touch screen operating interface, which makes it convenient for workers to monitor the production status and adjust parameters. The PLC system automatically records production data (such as pass rate, production efficiency, etc.) and generates reports, which facilitates quality traceability and production optimization.

[0039] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
