Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated assembly technology, specifically to an automated assembly equipment workbench. Background Technology
[0002] Large-scale complete sets of equipment in automated systems, also known as automated equipment, refer to the process by which machines or devices operate or are controlled automatically according to prescribed procedures or instructions without human intervention. Therefore, automation is an important condition and significant indicator of the modernization of industry, agriculture, national defense, and science and technology. In the assembly process of automated equipment, assembly workbenches are often used to improve assembly efficiency.
[0003] Traditional automated assembly equipment mainly consists of a frame, worktable, positioning device, conveying mechanism, pneumatic / electric actuators, control system, and detection sensors. In operation, the assembly program and parameters are first set through the control system. The workpiece to be assembled is placed on the conveying mechanism and transported to the designated workstation. The positioning device precisely fixes the workpiece's position, and the detection sensors monitor the workpiece's positioning in real time. The pneumatic / electric actuators drive tools such as clamps and screwdrivers according to the program to complete assembly actions such as gripping, tightening, and welding. During the assembly process, the control system coordinates the coordinated operation of all components in real time.
[0004] In existing connector assembly processes, the assembly of terminals, back plugs, LED indicators, housings, and cores largely relies on manual or semi-automatic methods. Manual labor is required to sequentially pick up, place, align, and secure each component, involving frequent component transfers. Due to hand tremors or transport vehicle movement during manual handling, assembled components often experience positional shifts. For example, pin misalignment may occur after the terminal is inserted into the core due to shaking, or the LED indicator may deviate from its alignment with the housing slot. Operators then need to spend extra time recalibrating and repositioning the components, and may even need to disassemble and rework them. These tedious steps not only extend the assembly cycle of individual products but also increase the risk of scratches and deformation of components due to repeated handling. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0025] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0027] Reference Figures 1-5 An automated assembly equipment workbench includes a first outer shell 1, a second outer shell 2, and a third outer shell 3, wherein the first outer shell 1, the second outer shell 2, and the third outer shell 3 are sequentially interconnected.
[0028] The assembly unit includes a bracket 12 fixedly installed inside the outer shell 1. A support plate is fixedly installed on the bracket 12. A hydraulic cylinder 13 is fixedly installed on the support plate. A pressure plate 14 is fixedly installed on the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 13. A punched column 15 is fixedly installed between the bottom ends of the pressure plate 14. A conveyor belt 16 is slidably installed inside the outer shell 1, penetrating the outer shell 1, the outer shell 2, and the outer shell 3. The conveyor belt 16 is located directly below the punched column 15. The assembly unit is used to splice and assemble materials.
[0029] The unloading unit includes a guide rod 33 fixedly mounted on the outer shell 33, a platform fixedly mounted inside the outer shell 33, a turntable 32 rotatably mounted on the platform, a discharge belt 31 for transporting materials fixedly mounted inside the outer shell 33, and a classifier 34 for detecting materials fixedly mounted on the platform. The unloading unit is used for detecting and unloading materials.
[0030] Reference Figures 1-3 Support rods 11 are fixedly installed on the bottom ends of outer shell 1, outer shell 2, and outer shell 3. Each support rod 11 is evenly distributed at the corners of outer shell 1, outer shell 2, and outer shell 3, and each support rod 11 has the same height. The support rods 11 installed on the bottom ends of outer shell 1, outer shell 2, and outer shell 3 provide support for the entire device. At the same time, the distribution of each support rod 11 at the corners of outer shell 1, outer shell 2, and outer shell 3 ensures that the force is evenly distributed among the support rods 11, avoiding the situation where the support rods 11 are damaged due to excessive pressure caused by uneven force distribution, thus improving the overall safety and stability of the device.
[0031] Reference Figures 1-3The outer casing 2 is fixedly equipped with a positioning belt 21 for transporting materials. The loading platform on the outer casing 2 is fixedly equipped with a handling robot arm 23. The positioning belt 21 is fixedly equipped with a positioning plate 22. The positioning belt 21 on the outer casing 2 can transfer punched materials, and the handling robot arm 23 can handle materials in all directions simply and conveniently.
[0032] Reference Figures 2-4 Both positioning plates 22 are arranged in right-angled triangles and are symmetrically positioned. A positioning groove 221 is formed between the two positioning plates 22. The positioning groove 221 has a larger opening in the feeding direction and a smaller opening in the discharging direction. A guide rod 33 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the outer shell 2, and the guide rod 33 is located above the positioning plate 22. A detector 24 is slidably installed on the guide rod 33. By setting the two positioning plates 22 in a triangular arrangement, when the material moves on the positioning belt 21, the positioning plates 22 on both sides can restrict its position, so that the material can be guided by the positioning groove 221 to be in the middle part of the positioning belt 21, which is convenient for subsequent processing.
[0033] Reference Figures 2-4 The bottom end of the handling robotic arm 23 is fixedly equipped with a gripper, and the bottom end of the guide rod 33 is fixedly equipped with a detector. The gripper on the handling robotic arm 23 can clamp and transport the material on the positioning belt 21 for subsequent processing and classification.
[0034] Reference Figures 3-5 The guide rod 33 is located between the second outer shell 2 and the third outer shell 3, and a slot is provided at the intersection of the second outer shell 2 and the third outer shell 3. The guide rod 33 passes through the slot. By setting the guide rod 33 between the second outer shell 2 and the third outer shell 3, the two processing platforms are connected, so that the device can automatically process materials.
[0035] Reference Figures 3-5 The guide rod 33 is located above the turntable 32, and multiple evenly arranged processing positions are fixedly set on the turntable 32. The classifier 34 is used to position and process the materials on the processing positions. Door panels are rotatably set on the bottom of the outer shell 1, outer shell 2 and outer shell 3, and each door panel has a notch. By setting the positional relationship between the guide rod 33 and the turntable 32, the transferred materials can be further processed on the turntable 32. The door panels set on the device make it convenient for the staff to open the inside of the device for inspection and maintenance.
[0036] The specific implementation of this solution is as follows: During use, the operator first moves one end to the predetermined position. The conveyor belt 16 on the outer casing 1 transports the material. The hydraulic cylinder 13 and the pressure plate 14 at its output end perform material inspection and assembly. The support rods 11 provide overall support for the device. Simultaneously, the support rods 11 are distributed at the corners of the outer casings 1, 2, and 3, ensuring uniform force distribution among the support rods 11 and preventing damage due to excessive pressure caused by uneven force distribution. Two positioning plates 22 are arranged in a triangular configuration, allowing the positioning plates 22 on both sides to restrict the material's position as it moves on the positioning belt 21. This ensures the material is guided by the positioning groove 221 to the middle of the positioning belt 21, facilitating subsequent processing. The grippers on the handling robotic arm 23 clamp and transport the material on the positioning belt 21 for subsequent processing and classification. The transferred material can then be further processed on the turntable 32.
