Description

Technical Field

[0002] With the development of technology, many production and processing processes have been optimized to improve automation. Among these, the optimization of the assembly of various product components is of paramount importance. Taking electronic atomizing devices as an example, the production of electronic atomizing devices generally requires the assembly of different parts to complete the production of a device. For instance, magnets need to be installed in the base of the electronic atomizing device. The typical installation method involves manually removing the base from the storage area and placing it in the corresponding first loading mechanism. Sufficient pressure is then provided by manually controlling a pneumatic press to press the magnet into the base.

[0003] However, the above assembly method requires high precision in manual operation, which can easily lead to misalignment of the base and magnet, damaging the product and affecting its stability. Furthermore, manual assembly is labor-intensive and inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0073] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0074] First, it should be noted that the first direction X, the second direction Y, and the third direction Z in this application can be referenced. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The directions corresponding to the X, Y, and Z arrows.

[0075] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application provides a material assembly apparatus for assembling a material to be assembled 10 with a main material 20. The assembly apparatus includes:

[0076] The hopper 30 is used to load the material to be assembled 10.

[0077] The first loading mechanism 40 is used to load the main material 20. The first loading mechanism 40 can be driven to the side close to the hopper 30 so that the main material 20 is positioned correspondingly to the hopper 30.

[0078] Assembly mechanism 50 is located on the side of hopper 30 away from the first loading mechanism 40.

[0079] The assembly mechanism 50 can drive the material to be assembled 10 in the hopper 30 to move so that the material to be assembled 10 can be assembled with the main material 20.

[0080] In related technologies, as described in the background section, manual assembly is prone to damage to the main body material 20 due to improper product placement. Furthermore, because the processes for the materials to be assembled are the same, it is easy for workers to miss some materials 10 during assembly. Additionally, manual assembly has a low efficiency and is prone to fatigue. Therefore, this application utilizes an assembly device to achieve automated assembly, which improves the positioning stability of the materials to be assembled 10 and the main body material 20 during assembly, avoids missed steps, and ensures stable and controllable product quality. It also improves production efficiency and capacity while reducing production and assembly costs.

[0081] In this embodiment, the component to be assembled 10 is a part that needs to be assembled with the main material 20, and the main material 20 is at least part of the shell structure of the finished product. Furthermore, the component to be assembled 10 can realize certain functions required by the finished product.

[0082] In one embodiment, the main material 20 is the base of the electronic atomizing device, and the assembly material 10 is the magnet that needs to be installed into the base.

[0083] In this embodiment, the hopper 30 is a storage structure capable of loading multiple materials 10 to be assembled. By loading multiple materials 10 to be assembled into the hopper 30, the multiple materials 10 to be assembled can be assembled in sequence, thereby improving the assembly efficiency.

[0084] In this embodiment, the first loading mechanism 40 is used to load the material to be assembled 10, and the main material 20 is positioned correspondingly to the hopper 30 through the first loading mechanism 40. When multiple main materials 20 and multiple hoppers 30 are set, the multiple main materials 20 correspond one-to-one with the multiple hoppers 30, so that the material to be assembled 10 is assembled on the multiple main materials 20 at the same time.

[0085] In this embodiment, the assembly mechanism 50 is used to drive the material to be assembled 10 in the hopper 30 to move, so as to complete the assembly of the material to be assembled 10 and the main material 20.

[0086] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 In one embodiment, the structure of this application is further optimized by setting the main material 20 to have an installation position 21 on the side near the hopper 30, the installation position 21 being used to install the material to be assembled 10.

[0087] The side wall of the hopper 30 is provided with a first through hole 31; the first through hole 31 is located on the side of the hopper 30 near the first loading mechanism 40, and the first through hole 31 is provided corresponding to the mounting position 21.

[0088] The size of the first perforation 31 is greater than or equal to the size of the material to be assembled 10; the assembly mechanism 50 can drive the material to be assembled 10 in the hopper 30 to enter the mounting position 21 through the first perforation 31 to complete the assembly.

[0089] In this embodiment, the mounting position 21 of the main material 20 is used to accommodate the material 10 to be assembled, so as to complete the assembly of the two.

[0090] In this embodiment, the hopper 30 is further improved by providing a first perforation 31 on the side near the first loading mechanism 40, corresponding to the mounting position 21. This allows the material in the hopper 30 to exit through the first perforation 31 and enter the mounting position 21 to be assembled with the main material 20. The size of the first perforation 31 is greater than or equal to the size of the material 10 to be assembled, ensuring that the material 10 can exit through the first perforation 31 from the hopper 30.

[0091] In this embodiment, the assembly mechanism 50 can drive the material to be assembled 10 to move toward the first through hole 31 so as to enter the mounting position 21 of the main material 20 through the first through hole 31.

[0092] In one embodiment, the assembly mechanism 50 may be located outside the hopper 30. In another embodiment, the assembly mechanism 50 may be located inside the hopper 30.

[0093] In one embodiment, the assembly mechanism 50 can contact the assembly material 10 through a physical structure, thereby moving the assembly material 10. In another embodiment, the assembly mechanism 50 can indirectly drive the assembly material 10 to move without contacting it, using methods such as electromagnetic drive.

[0094] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 In one embodiment, the hopper 30 is provided with a second perforation 32 on the side wall opposite to the first perforation 31.

[0095] The assembly mechanism 50 includes a pusher 51, the cross-sectional area of ​​which is smaller than the size of the second through hole 32.

[0096] The pusher 51 can extend into the second through hole 32 and out of the first through hole 31 to drive the material to be assembled 10 in the hopper 30 through the first through hole 31 into the mounting position 21 to complete the assembly.

[0097] In this embodiment, the hopper 30 is further provided with a second perforation 32 opposite to the first perforation 31. The second perforation 32 is used for at least a part of the assembly mechanism 50 to extend into the hopper 30 and contact the material to be assembled 10, thereby driving the material to be assembled 10 to move.

[0098] In this embodiment, the pusher 51 of the assembly mechanism 50 is used to contact the material 10 to be assembled within the hopper 30. The cross-sectional area of ​​the pusher 51 is smaller than the size of the second through hole 32 to ensure that the pusher 51 can smoothly pass through the second through hole 32 and enter the hopper 30. Simultaneously, the pusher 51 ensures that the material 10 to be assembled is aligned with the mounting position 21 and assembled into the main material 20, improving assembly accuracy.

[0099] In one embodiment, the assembly mechanism 50 further includes an assembly drive 52 connected to a pusher 51 to control the driving action of the pusher 51 on the material to be assembled 10. In another embodiment, the pusher 51 is a telescopic shaft or a telescopic rod.

[0100] In one embodiment, the first loading mechanism 40 moves the main material 20 to one side of the hopper 30, aligning the mounting position 21 of the main material 20 with the first through hole 31 of the hopper 30. Then, the assembly drive 52 drives the pusher 51 to move, causing the pusher 51 to enter the hopper 30 through the second through hole 32 and contact the material to be assembled 10, pushing the material to be assembled 10 towards the first through hole 31. This allows the material to be assembled 10 to leave the hopper 30 through the first through hole 31 and enter the mounting position 21 under the push of the pusher 51. For specific details, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 7 As shown.

[0101] In another embodiment, when the material to be assembled 10 is installed into the mounting position 21 of the main material 20, the pusher 51 resets and leaves the hopper 30. At this time, the other materials to be assembled that have not yet been assembled in the hopper 30 automatically enter their positions, waiting to be pushed by the pusher 51 to be installed with the main material 20.

[0102] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The structure of the hopper 30 is optimized by providing a loading cavity 33 inside the hopper 30. The loading cavity 33 allows multiple materials to be assembled 10 to be stacked along the direction of gravity. This allows the materials to be assembled above to automatically reach the corresponding positions of the first through hole 31 and the second through hole 32 by gravity when the previous material to be assembled is completed and the pusher 51 is reset.

[0103] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 7 and Figure 8In one embodiment, the first perforation 31 and the second perforation 32 are provided at the bottom of the hopper 30. In another embodiment, a magnet (not shown) is provided at the bottom of the loading cavity 33 to position the material to be assembled 10 in the loading cavity 33, so as to prevent the material to be assembled 10 from sliding out of the hopper 30 before the assembly action is started.

[0104] In this embodiment, the positions of the first perforation 31 and the second perforation 32 are further optimized so that the first perforation 31 and the second perforation 32 are located at the bottom of the hopper 30. The purpose of this setting is to avoid the situation where the material to be assembled 10 located below the first perforation 31 and the second perforation 32 cannot be pushed out by the pusher 51 when the first perforation 31 and the second perforation 32 are located in a position other than the bottom of the hopper 30, thus ensuring that the material to be assembled 10 in the hopper 30 can be moved and assembled with the main material 20.

[0105] Please refer to Figure 3 In one embodiment, the assembly apparatus further includes:

[0106] The pressing mechanism 60 is located on one side of the main material 20 relative to the first loading mechanism 40. The pressing mechanism 60 can move relative to the first loading mechanism 40 to confine the main material 20 on the first loading mechanism 40.

[0107] In this embodiment, a pressing mechanism 60 is further added. The purpose of the pressing mechanism 60 is to further limit the movement of the main material 20 when the first loading mechanism 40 drives the main material 20 to the position and aligns it with the hopper 30. This allows the movement of the main material 20 in the moving direction of the pushing member 51 to be assembled with the main material 20 when the pushing member 51 pushes the material to be assembled 10 to be assembled with the main material 20. This prevents the pushing force generated by the pushing member 51 from causing the main material 20 to shake, shift, or be overturned by the pushing member 51, thereby avoiding affecting the accuracy of the assembly of the material to be assembled 10 and the main material 20.

[0108] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 6 In one embodiment, the pressing mechanism 60 includes:

[0109] The pressing component 61 is provided with a first positioning part 611, which is used to position the main material 20.

[0110] The pressing drive 62 drives the pressing component 61 to move relative to the first loading mechanism 40, so as to press the main material 20 onto the first loading mechanism 40.

[0111] In this embodiment, the pressing member 61 is used to press the main material 20 into contact with it. The first positioning part 611 is used to position the main material 20.

[0112] In one embodiment, the first positioning part 611 may be a baffle that can move to the side of the main material 20 away from the hopper 30, thereby limiting the movement of the main material 20 in the moving direction of the pusher 51.

[0113] In another embodiment, such as Figure 6 As shown, the first positioning part 611 has a groove structure, the shape of which can match the outer contour of the main material 20. At this time, when the pressing member 61 moves toward the main material 20 so that at least a part of the structure of the main material 20 is accommodated in the groove structure of the first positioning part 611, the movement of the main material 20 in the moving direction of the pushing member 51 can also be limited.

[0114] In this embodiment, the pressing mechanism 60 is further optimized. The pressing mechanism 60 also includes a first pressing plate 63, a second pressing plate 64, and a guide shaft 65. One end of the guide shaft 65 is located on the first pressing plate 63, and the other end is located on the second pressing plate 64. One end of the pressing drive member 62 is located on the first pressing plate 63, and the other end is located on the second pressing plate 64. Furthermore, the pressing member 61 is located on the side of the second pressing plate 64 away from the pressing drive member 62. During operation, the pressing drive member 62 drives the second pressing plate 64 to move relative to the first pressing plate 63, thereby causing the pressing member 61 to move towards the main material 20 on the first carrier 41, thus enabling the first positioning part 611 to press the main material 20. The guide shaft 65 serves to guide the movement of the second pressing plate 64.

[0115] Please refer to Figure 11 and Figure 12 In one embodiment, the assembly apparatus further includes:

[0116] The second loading mechanism 70 is located on the side of the first loading mechanism 40 away from the silo 30; the second loading mechanism 70 is used to load the main material 20.

[0117] The clamping mechanism 80 includes at least one clamping assembly 800, which is movable back and forth along a first direction X, the first direction X being the direction from the second loading mechanism 70 to the first loading mechanism 40.

[0118] The clamping assembly 800 can clamp the main material 20 loaded in the second loading mechanism 70 and transport it to the first loading mechanism 40.

[0119] In this embodiment, a second loading mechanism 70 is further added. The second loading mechanism 70 is used to load the unassembled main body material 20. At the same time, the second loading mechanism 70 can also load the assembled main body material 20 and transport it to the next workstation.

[0120] In this embodiment, a clamping mechanism 80 is further added. The clamping assembly 800 of the clamping mechanism 80 clamps and transports the main material 20 and moves back and forth along the first direction X to transport the main material 20 on the second loading mechanism 70 to the first loading mechanism 40.

[0121] In one embodiment, the gripping mechanism 80 can also transport the main material 20 on the first loading mechanism 40 back to the second loading mechanism 70.

[0122] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the number of clamping components 800 on the clamping mechanism 80 is not limited.

[0123] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 In one embodiment, the gripping mechanism 80 includes a first gripper assembly 801 and a second gripper assembly 802, which move synchronously.

[0124] The first clamping assembly 801 can clamp the main material 20 loaded in the second loading mechanism 70 and transport it to the first loading mechanism 40.

[0125] The second clamping assembly 802 can clamp the main material 20 loaded in the first loading mechanism 40 and transport it to the second loading mechanism 70.

[0126] In this embodiment, a first clamping assembly 801 and a second clamping assembly 802 are provided and moved synchronously to complete the transportation of the unassembled main body material 20 and the transportation of the assembled main body material 20.

[0127] In one embodiment, when the clamping mechanism 80 is still on one side of the second loading mechanism 70, the first clamping assembly 801 clamps the unassembled main body material 20 on the second loading mechanism 70, while the second clamping assembly 802 remains stationary. Then, the clamping mechanism 80 drives the first clamping assembly 801 and the second clamping assembly 802 to move along the first direction X to one side of the first loading mechanism 40, and controls the second clamping assembly 802 to move above the first loading mechanism 40. At this time, the second clamping assembly 802 clamps the first loading mechanism 70. After the main body material 20 is assembled on the material handling mechanism 40, the first clamping assembly 801 is moved above the first material handling mechanism 40. The first clamping assembly 801 then places the unassembled main body material 20 on the first material handling mechanism 40. Then, the gripping mechanism 80 drives the first clamping assembly 801 and the second clamping assembly 802 back to one side of the second material handling mechanism 70, and controls the second clamping assembly 802 to place the assembled main body material 20 on the second material handling mechanism 70, thus completing one cycle. Repeating the above movement, the gripping mechanism 80 can transport multiple unassembled main body materials 20 on the second material handling mechanism 70 in sequence through the first clamping assembly 801 and the second clamping assembly 802, and transport the assembled main body materials 20 back in sequence, until a second carrier 71 on the second material handling mechanism 70 is full of assembled main body materials 20. Then, through the operation of the second material handling mechanism 70, the next second carrier 71 is transported to the position corresponding to the gripping mechanism 80.

[0128] In one embodiment, a plurality of main materials 20 are arranged in an array on the second loading mechanism 70, and the clamping assembly 800 includes a plurality of grippers 86 arranged in a straight line. The clamping assembly 800 uses the plurality of grippers 86 arranged in a straight line to pick up a row of main materials 20 on the second loading mechanism 70, transports it to the first loading mechanism 40, and returns the assembled main materials 20 on the first loading mechanism 40.

[0129] In one embodiment, the gripper 86 includes at least two claws (i.e., the claws may be three or more), and the at least two claws are driven to move relative to each other by components such as cylinders, thereby gripping the main material 20.

[0130] In another embodiment, the gripper 86 uses methods such as vacuum adsorption to grip the main material 20.

[0131] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 2 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 In one embodiment, the gripping mechanism 80 further includes:

[0132] The clamping guide rail assembly 81 is set along the first direction X.
