Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of automotive parts processing equipment, specifically to an automatic buckle assembly machine for automotive water-cut trim strips. Background Technology

[0002] In automobile manufacturing, water-cut trim strips, as an important component of the vehicle body, serve both decorative and aerodynamic purposes. Water-cut trim strips typically require multiple clips to secure them to the vehicle body. Traditional clip installation relies primarily on manual assembly, where operators manually install the clips onto the product. This manual method is inefficient and cannot meet the demands of modern automotive production's high-volume, fast-paced manufacturing. Furthermore, it suffers from problems such as incomplete clip installation, uneven force application, and even missed clips, thus affecting the installation quality of the water-cut trim strips and consequently, the overall vehicle quality. Therefore, a new automated clip-on assembly machine for automotive water-cut trim strips is designed to meet current usage requirements. Utility Model Content

A feeding device 4 is set on one side of the vibratory feeder 3. The positioning fixture 2 is installed at the other end of the machine base 1 for fixing the water-cut trim strips. A buckle gripping component 5 is set at the rear of the positioning fixture 2. The buckle gripping component 5 grips the buckles and installs them at the corresponding buckle installation positions on the water-cut trim strips; The positioning fixture 2 includes a clamp base plate 21 disposed on the upper side of the machine base 1. Multiple positioning seats 22 are disposed on the upper side of the clamp base plate 21 along its length. A first cylinder 23 is disposed on the side of the positioning seat 22. A pressure block 24 is disposed on the movable end of the first cylinder 23. A third cylinder 25 is disposed laterally on the left side of the clamp base plate 21. A positioning block 26 is disposed on the movable end of the third cylinder 25. The positioning fixture 2 is used to fix the water-cut trim strip. The clamping buckle assembly 5 clamps the buckle and installs it on the corresponding buckle installation position of the water-cut trim strip. The positioning fixture 2 is also provided with a handle for easy handling, which improves the installation speed of the buckle and increases production efficiency.

[0023] Specifically, the gripping buckle assembly 5 includes a ball screw 51 horizontally arranged on the upper rear part of the positioning fixture 2. A mounting plate 52 capable of lateral movement is provided on the slider of the ball screw 51. A servo motor 53 is provided on the side of the ball screw 51. Five fourth cylinders 54 are vertically arranged at intervals at the front of the mounting plate 52. A liftable connecting block 55 is connected to the bottom of the fourth cylinder 54. A fifth cylinder 56 is provided on the lower side of the connecting block 55. A gripper 57 for gripping the buckle is provided opposite to the lower end of the fifth cylinder 56. The gripper 57 is made of nylon or POM to protect the buckle from scratches. The fifth cylinder 56 operates the gripper 57 to grip the buckle. The fourth cylinders 54 are used to install the buckle on the water-cut trim.

[0024] In this embodiment, as Figure 5 As shown, the ball screw 51 has slide rails 58 arranged laterally on its upper and lower sides. The slide rails 58 are connected to the mounting plate 52 and assist the mounting plate 52 in moving left and right.

[0025] In this embodiment, as Figure 5As shown, a snap-in conveying guide rail 6 is provided between the positioning fixture 2 and the vibratory feeder 3. A snap-in conveying groove 61 is provided at the upper end of the snap-in conveying guide rail 6 along its length direction. One end of the snap-in conveying groove 61 is connected to the vibratory feeder 3, and the other end of the snap-in conveying groove 61 extends to the side of the positioning fixture 2. The snap-in conveying guide rail 6 is used to guide the snap-in from the vibratory feeder 3 to the positioning fixture 2.

[0026] In this embodiment, as Figure 5 As shown, the side of the buckle conveying guide rail 6 is provided with two mounting brackets 62. The mounting brackets 62 are provided with photoelectric switches 63. The mounting brackets 62 are provided with long strip-shaped slots to facilitate the adjustment of the position of the photoelectric switches 63. The photoelectric switches 63 are used to sense the buckle.

[0027] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, a second cylinder 27 is arranged side by side on the rear side of the clamp base plate 21. The movable end of the second cylinder 27 is provided with a connecting seat 28 that moves up and down. The upper end of the connecting seat 28 is provided with a notch. A discharge rod 29 is rotatably arranged in the notch. The discharge rod 29 is U-shaped, with one end fixed on the connecting seat 28 and the other end extending forward and resting on the clamp base plate 21 for removing the decorative strip with the buckle attached.

[0028] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, a frame 7 is provided on the upper side of the machine base 1, and a control panel 8 is provided on the frame 7. The control panel 8 is used to operate and control the equipment.

The third cylinder 25 is activated, the positioning block 26 abuts against the side of the water-cut trim, the first cylinder 23 is activated, and the water-cut trim 10 is fixed and positioned by the pressure block 24; the vibrating plate 3 transports the buckle to the buckle transport groove 61 of the buckle transport guide rail 6. After the photoelectric switch 63 detects that the buckle has reached the preset position, the servo motor 53 drives the ball screw 51 to move, which moves the mounting plate 52 to the buckle conveying guide rail 6. The movable end of the fourth cylinder 54 descends, and the fifth cylinder 56 moves, causing the gripper 57 to grab the buckle. The fourth cylinder 54 rises, and the servo motor 53 drives the ball screw 51 to move to the corresponding buckle installation position. The fourth cylinder 54 drives the connecting block 55 to move downward, pressing the buckle onto the water-cut trim. The gripper 57 resets, and the fourth cylinder 54 rises. After the buckle is pressed, the first cylinder 23 and the third cylinder 25 reset, and the second cylinder 27 drives the connecting seat 28 to move upward, which drives the unloading rod 29 to move upward and push out the water-cut trim. The water-cut trim slides along the unloading rod 29 to the operator.

[0030] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in this utility model embodiment are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.

[0031] Furthermore, in this utility model, the use of terms such as "first," "second," etc., is for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly and specifically defined.
