[0012] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0013] Please refer to 1-2. One embodiment of this utility model is provided: a novel automatic assembly equipment for roof strip clips, including a base 1, a robot arm 2 fixedly mounted at the center of the base 1, a working surface 3 on one side of the base 1, located on the side of the robot arm 2, a clamping base plate 4 fixedly mounted on the working surface 3, positioning blocks 5 fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the clamping base plate 4, a plurality of support blocks 6 evenly arranged between the positioning blocks 5, and pressing blocks 7 mounted on the support blocks 6, the output end of the robot arm 2 fixedly connected to a chuck structure 8, and a vibration damper on the side of the base 1 opposite to the working surface 3. The output end of the vibratory plate 9 is connected to the fixed position 10. The roof strip is manually fixed on the positioning block 5 and the support block 6. The position of the roof strip is fixed by the clamping block 7. The buckles are stored inside the vibratory plate 9. The vibratory plate 9 transports the buckles to the fixed position 10. The output end of the robot arm 2 is connected to the chuck structure 8. The buckles on the fixed position 10 are connected to the chuck structure 8 in sequence through the chuck structure 8. Then the robot arm 2 rotates to the working surface 3. According to the program setting, the robot arm 2 assembles the buckles on the chuck structure 8 to the corresponding positions of the roof strip.

[0014] The chuck structure 8 includes a chuck rotating sleeve 81, which is fixedly connected to the output end of the robot arm 2. Several connecting blocks 82 are evenly fixedly connected to the side surface of the chuck rotating sleeve 81. A fixed buckle block 83 is provided at the end of the connecting block 82 away from the chuck rotating sleeve 81. The fixed buckle block 83 is used to pick up and assemble the buckle. The fixed buckle block 83 is circumferentially distributed and can assemble multiple buckles, so that the assembly of one roof strip can be completed in one assembly operation.

[0015] The positioning block 5 and the support block 6 are distributed along the same trajectory as the shape of the roof strip, which makes it easy to fix the roof strip according to its shape. An electric telescopic rod is provided on one side of the support block 6. The output end of the electric telescopic rod is rotatably connected to the clamping block 7. The roof strip is pressed down and fixed by using the electric telescopic rod.

[0016] Working principle: The buckles are stored inside the vibratory feeder 9. The roof strip is manually placed on the positioning block 5 and the support block 6. The electric telescopic rod is used to press down, and the rotating clamping block 7 presses down on the roof strip to fix it. After fixing, the vibratory feeder 9 starts and transports the buckles to the fixed position 10. The output end of the robot arm 2 is fixedly connected to the chuck rotating sleeve 81. Then the robot arm 2 rotates to the fixed position 10. The output end of the robot arm 2 rotates in an orderly manner and moves up and down repeatedly, so that several fixed buckle blocks 83 pick up the buckles in turn. After the picking action is completed, the robot arm 2 rotates as a whole, so that the output end of the robot arm 2 drives the fixed buckle blocks 83 to move to the working surface 3. Then, according to the program design, the robot arm 2 rotates in turn, and the fixed buckle blocks 83 rotate in an orderly manner and move up and down repeatedly, installing the buckles onto the roof strip, realizing automated assembly.
