Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of parts assembly technology, and more specifically, to an automated assembly device. Background Technology

[0002] Aluminum alloy die castings are widely used in the automotive, home appliance, communications, and aerospace industries due to their advantages such as lightweight, high strength, corrosion resistance, and high production efficiency.

[0003] Buffer blocks are usually set on aluminum alloy die castings to optimize their function and durability. Since the buffer blocks are embedded in the aluminum alloy die castings by interference fit, a large force is required to embed them. The manual assembly method is labor-intensive and inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide an automatic assembly device that replaces manual labor in assembling buffer blocks on aluminum alloy die-cast parts, thereby reducing labor intensity and improving work efficiency.

[0005] This application provides an automatic assembly device, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An automatic assembly device includes an operating table, a feeding mechanism, a first driving mechanism, a second driving mechanism, a material handling mechanism, and a pressing mechanism. The operating table is provided with a frame and a carrier. The first driving mechanism is disposed on the frame. The first driving mechanism drives the second driving mechanism to operate above the feeding mechanism or the carrier. The second driving mechanism drives the material handling mechanism and the pressing mechanism to move up and down.

[0007] Preferably, the feeding mechanism includes a support, a rotary cylinder, and a suction seat. The support is disposed on the operating table, the rotary cylinder is disposed on the support, and the suction seat is disposed on the rotary cylinder.

[0008] Preferably, the first drive mechanism includes a bracket, a linear module, and a movable plate. The bracket is mounted on the frame, the linear module is mounted on the bracket, the movable plate is mounted on the linear module, and the second drive mechanism is mounted on the movable plate.

[0009] Preferably, the second drive mechanism includes a first cylinder and a lifting frame, the first cylinder being disposed on the movable plate, and the first cylinder driving the lifting frame to move up and down.

[0010] Preferably, a slide rail slider assembly is provided between the lifting frame and the moving plate.

[0011] Preferably, the material handling mechanism includes a rotating gripper, which is mounted on the lifting frame.

[0012] Preferably, the pressing mechanism includes a second cylinder and a pressing block. The second cylinder is mounted on the lifting frame and drives the pressing block to move up and down. Both the material handling mechanism and the pressing mechanism are mounted on the lifting frame.

[0013] Preferably, the slide rail slider assembly is provided in two sets.

[0014] Preferably, the movable plate has a hollow structure, and a limiting member is provided at the end of the movable plate away from the lifting frame. A protrusion is provided at the end of the lifting frame near the limiting member, and the protrusion is located above the limiting member.

[0015] Preferably, the pressing mechanism is provided in two sets.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are as follows:

[0017] The automatic assembly equipment provided in this application is suitable for the automatic assembly of buffer blocks on aluminum alloy die castings. During operation, the aluminum alloy die casting is first placed on a carrier, and the feeding mechanism conveys the buffer block. The first drive mechanism drives the second drive mechanism to move above the feeding mechanism and then stops. The second drive mechanism drives the pick-and-place mechanism to move down to the set position and then stops. The pick-and-place mechanism picks up the buffer block. Then, the first drive mechanism drives the second drive mechanism to move above the carrier and then stops. The pick-and-place mechanism places the buffer block on the carrier, and then the pressing mechanism presses the buffer block into the corresponding position on the aluminum alloy die casting to complete the assembly. This reduces the labor intensity of personnel and improves work efficiency. Attached Figure Description

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

[0030] Example

[0031] like Figure 1-4 As shown in the embodiment of this application, the automatic assembly equipment includes an operating table 1, a feeding mechanism 2, a first driving mechanism 3, a second driving mechanism 4, a material handling mechanism 5, and a pressing mechanism 6. The operating table 1 is provided with a frame 7 and a carrier 8. The first driving mechanism 3 is provided on the frame 7. The first driving mechanism 3 drives the second driving mechanism 4 to run above the feeding mechanism 2 or the carrier 8. The second driving mechanism 4 drives the material handling mechanism 5 and the pressing mechanism 6 to move up and down.

[0032] During operation, the aluminum alloy die-casting part is first placed on the carrier 8. The feeding mechanism 2 conveys the buffer block. The first drive mechanism 3 drives the second drive mechanism 4 to move above the feeding mechanism 2 and then stops. The second drive mechanism 4 drives the pick-and-place mechanism 5 to move down to the set position and stop. The pick-and-place mechanism 5 picks up the buffer block. Then, the first drive mechanism 3 drives the second drive mechanism 4 to move above the carrier 8 and then stops. The pick-and-place mechanism 5 places the buffer block on the carrier 8. Then, the pressing mechanism 6 presses the buffer block into the corresponding position on the aluminum alloy die-casting part to complete the assembly. This reduces the labor intensity of personnel and improves work efficiency.

[0033] In this embodiment, the feeding mechanism 2 includes a support 9, a rotary cylinder 10, and a suction seat 11. The support 9 is mounted on the operating table 1, the rotary cylinder 10 is mounted on the support 9, and the suction seat 11 is mounted on the rotary cylinder 10. A vibrating feeder 23 is arranged on the side of the operating table 1. The vibrating feeder 23 conveys the buffer block. In the initial state, the suction seat 11 is located near the discharge end of the vibrating feeder 23 and is used to pick up the buffer block. Then, the rotary cylinder 10 drives the suction seat 11 to rotate 90° so that the pick-and-place mechanism 5 can pick up the buffer block. After the pick-and-place mechanism 5 has finished picking up the material, the rotary cylinder 10 drives the suction seat 11 back to the initial position.

[0034] In this embodiment, the first driving mechanism 3 includes a bracket 12, a linear module 13, and a moving plate 14. The bracket 12 is mounted on the frame 7, the linear module 13 is mounted on the bracket 12, the moving plate 14 is mounted on the linear module 13, and the second driving mechanism 4 is mounted on the moving plate 14. When the linear module 13 drives the moving plate 14 to move, the moving plate 14 drives the second driving mechanism 4 to move synchronously.

[0035] In this embodiment, the second driving mechanism 4 includes a first cylinder 15 and a lifting frame 16. The first cylinder 15 is mounted on the moving plate 14. The first cylinder 15 drives the lifting frame 16 to move up and down. The material handling mechanism 5 and the pressing mechanism 6 are both mounted on the lifting frame 16. When the first cylinder 15 drives the lifting frame 16 to move up and down, the lifting frame 16 drives the material handling mechanism 5 and the pressing mechanism 6 to move synchronously.

[0036] In this embodiment, a slide rail slider assembly 17 is provided between the lifting frame 16 and the moving plate 14. The slide rail slider assembly 17 can improve the smoothness of the operation of the lifting frame 16.

[0037] In this embodiment, the material handling mechanism 5 includes a rotating gripper 18, which is mounted on the lifting frame 16. The rotating gripper 18 is used to handle buffer blocks. The rotating gripper 18 can be driven by electric or pneumatic means. The driving method of the rotating gripper 18 is a relatively mature technology, which will not be described in detail here.

[0038] In this embodiment, the pressing mechanism 6 includes a second cylinder 19 and a pressing block 20. The second cylinder 19 is mounted on the lifting frame 16. The second cylinder 19 drives the pressing block 20 to move up and down. After the material handling mechanism 5 places the buffer block on the aluminum alloy die casting, the second cylinder 19 drives the pressing block 20 to move down, and the pressing block 20 presses the buffer block into the corresponding position on the aluminum alloy die casting.

[0039] In this embodiment, two sets of slide rail slider assemblies 17 are provided. The arrangement of two sets of slide rail slider assemblies 17 can further improve the smoothness of the operation of the lifting frame 16.

[0040] In this embodiment, the movable plate 14 has a hollow structure. A limiting member 21 is provided at the end of the movable plate 14 away from the lifting frame 16. A protrusion 22 is provided at the end of the lifting frame 16 near the limiting member 21. The protrusion 22 is located above the limiting member 21. During the process of the lifting frame 16 rising or falling, it will drive the protrusion 22 to move synchronously. The limiting member 21 is used to limit the protrusion 22, thereby realizing the limiting of the material handling mechanism 5 and the pressing mechanism 6.

[0041] In this embodiment, two sets of pressing mechanisms 6 are provided. Since the buffer blocks are installed in pairs on the aluminum alloy die-cast parts, setting two sets of pressing mechanisms 6 can improve work efficiency.

[0042] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
