Description

Technical Field

[0002] According to the manufacturing process of the Type 86 switch, the toggle assembly is an essential component for product assembly. For example... Figure 16 The double switch shown has a base and a pressure plate A1, a moving contact, and a button A2 on it. The pressure plate A1, the moving contact, and the button A2 are installed in the mounting groove inside the base A3.

[0003] Because the button is small and flat, and the pressure plate needs to be assembled with the button before installation, the assembly process requires a lot of precision. Therefore, the current production of 86-type switch products mainly relies on manual assembly of the pressure plate and button. This method has low production efficiency, poor consistency and stability, and is difficult to recruit and manage, as well as facing intense market competition. Utility Model Content

[0059] The following embodiments, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, further illustrate the specific implementation of the switch assembly semi-finished product assembly equipment of this utility model. The switch assembly semi-finished product assembly equipment of this utility model is not limited to the descriptions in the following embodiments.

[0060] The switch assembly equipment in this embodiment is mainly for assembling the moving contact button of a single-pole switch or a double-pole switch.

[0061] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a switch component semi-finished product assembly equipment, including: a button feeding mechanism 1, a button pre-assembly mechanism 2, a station conversion mechanism 3, a pressure plate feeding mechanism 4, a pressure plate button pressing mechanism 5, a semi-finished product transfer mechanism 6, and a base feeding mechanism 7.

[0062] Among them, such as Figure 2 As shown, the station conversion mechanism 3 is provided with at least three stations. The station conversion mechanism 3 is provided with a pressure plate carrier 31 corresponding to the position of each station. The pressure plate carrier 31 is provided with a pressure plate positioning groove 311 adapted to the shape of the button. The station conversion mechanism 3 converts each station, so that the pressure plate carrier 31 of the first station is converted to the second station, and the pressure plate carrier 31 of the second station is converted to the third station. The station conversion is a cyclical process. After converting to the last station, it will return to the first station, so that the pressure plate A1 and the pressure plate assembly with the button A2 are assembled or moved by different processes through the pressure plate carrier 31 during the station conversion process.

[0063] Furthermore, the platen feeding mechanism 4 is used to send the platen A1 to the platen carrier 31 at the first station. The receiving position of the button pre-assembly mechanism 2 is set corresponding to the discharge end of the button feeding mechanism 1, and is used to receive the button A2. The pre-assembly position of the button pre-assembly mechanism 2 is set corresponding to the first station of the station conversion mechanism 3, and is used to install the button A2 onto the platen A1 at the first station. The platen button pressing mechanism 5 is set corresponding to the second station position of the station conversion mechanism 3, and is used to press the button A2 into the platen A1 converted to the second station to form a platen assembly. The semi-finished product transfer mechanism 6 is set corresponding to the third station of the station conversion mechanism 3, and is used to grab the platen assembly converted to the third station and assemble it onto the base A3 of the base feeding mechanism 7.

[0064] Furthermore, the base loading mechanism 7 includes a base transmission rail 70 and a base positioning device 71 disposed at the pressure plate assembly mounting position, which is used to position the base A3 at the pressure plate assembly mounting position so that the semi-finished product transfer mechanism 6 can install the pressure plate assembly onto the base A3.

[0065] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the workstation switching mechanism 3 includes: a turntable 32, a turntable drive device 33 disposed at the bottom of the turntable 32, and a sensor positioning component 34. The sensor positioning component 34 consists of an induction coil 341 and a slotted photoelectric sensor 342, used to detect the position of the turntable 32 and send a signal to the turntable drive device 33 for position control. The multiple workstations are arranged in a ring around the edge of the turntable 32, which reduces the overall length of the equipment. The turntable 32 can be an indexing plate, rotating at a preset angle each time. In this embodiment, it rotates 90 degrees each time, enabling the switching of four workstations. Based on the requirements of this embodiment, one workstation can be left unused. In this embodiment, each workstation is set based on the position of each component. For example, the first workstation is set based on the position of the platen loading, the second workstation is set based on the position of the platen pressing with the button, and the third workstation is set based on the position of the platen assembly installation. There is an unused workstation between the first and second workstations.

[0066] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , 3 As shown in Figure 5, the platen feeding mechanism 4 includes a platen feeding device 41 and a second robotic arm 42. The platen feeding device 41 feeds material from the outside and transports the platen to the vicinity of the turntable 32, and the second robotic arm 42 feeds material at the discharge end of the platen feeding device 41.

[0067] like Figure 3As shown, the pressure plate feeding device 41 includes a pressure plate feeding transmission rail 411 and a pressure plate feeding drive device 413. The pressure plate feeding transmission rail 411 can be a belt transmission rail, consisting of side rails on both sides and a belt in the middle. A corresponding positioning structure 414 is provided at the discharge end of the pressure plate feeding transmission rail 411 to position the pressure plate A1 so that the second robot arm 42 can pick up the material. The pressure plate feeding drive device 413 can be a synchronous belt drive device, and a non-conforming material discharge channel 412 is also provided at the discharge end.

[0068] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the second robotic arm 42 includes a second robotic arm 421 and a second robotic gripper 422 connected to the second robotic arm 421. The second robotic gripper 422 includes a second gripper bracket 4221, a second gripper 4222, and a second gripper drive device 4223. The second gripper drive device 4223 is fixed on the second gripper bracket 4221, and the second gripper 4222 is connected to the second gripper drive device 4223 in a transmission connection.

[0069] Furthermore, the second mechanical gripper 422 also includes a gripper positioning component 4224, which is fixedly disposed relative to the second gripper bracket 4221. The gripper positioning component 4224 includes a positioning component body 42241 and two spaced positioning pressure strips 42242, which are respectively disposed at the two clamping ends of the pressure plate A1. By using the positioning pressure strips 42242, deformation of the pressure plate A1 can be avoided when the second gripper 4222 grips the pressure plate A1 due to the clamping force of the second gripper 4222.

[0070] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 6 , 7 As shown, the button feeding mechanism 1 includes a hopper feeding device 11 and a first robotic arm 12. The hopper feeding device 11 includes a flexible button vibrating plate 111 and a button hopper 112. The button hopper 112 is responsible for feeding the buttons. The flexible button vibrating plate 111 positions the buttons by vibration. Vision software automatically identifies buttons that meet the status characteristics and sends a signal to the first robotic arm 12. The first robotic arm 12 grasps the buttons according to the position identified by the vision software.

[0071] Furthermore, the first robotic arm 12 includes a first robotic arm 121 and a first robotic gripper 122 connected to the first robotic arm 121. The first robotic arm 121 is mainly responsible for swing arm control to realize the transfer of the button feeding mechanism 1 from the button to the first workstation. The first robotic gripper 122 is responsible for gripping and releasing the button A2. The first robotic gripper 122 includes a first gripper main support 1220, a first gripper secondary support 1221, a first gripper drive device 1222, a feeding gripper 1223, and a first flipping drive device 1224. The first gripper secondary support 1221 is hinged to the first gripper main support 1220. The first gripper drive device 1222 is fixed on the first gripper secondary support 1221. The feeding gripper 1223 is drivenly connected to the first gripper drive device 1222. The first gripper secondary support 1221 is provided with a flipping connector 1227 that is drivenly connected to the cylinder rod of the first flipping drive device 1224. In this embodiment, both the first gripper drive device 1222 and the first flipping drive device 1224 can be driven by cylinders.

[0072] Furthermore, since the button is in a flat position when it is picked up, the feeding gripper 1223 also grips it in a flat position, as shown in the reference. Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the pressure plate A1 is set flat in the pressure plate positioning groove 311. Therefore, only vertically set buttons can be installed. Thus, the first flipping drive device 1224 and the hinged feeding gripper 1223 can be flipped 90° to adjust the posture of the button, thereby realizing the assembly of the button in subsequent processes.

[0073] In this embodiment, as Figure 8As shown, the button pre-assembly mechanism 2 includes: a pre-assembly gripper assembly 21, a pre-assembly transverse assembly 22, and a pre-assembly lifting assembly 23. The pre-assembly gripper assembly 21 includes: a pre-assembly gripper 211, a pre-assembly gripper drive device 212, and a pre-assembly gripper bracket 213. The pre-assembly gripper 211 is operatively connected to the pre-assembly gripper drive device 212, and the pre-assembly gripper drive device 212 is fixed on the pre-assembly gripper bracket 213. The pre-assembly transverse assembly 22 includes: a transverse slide rail 221, a transverse slider 222, and a transverse drive device 223. The pre-assembly lifting assembly 23 includes: a lifting drive device 231. The pre-assembly gripper bracket 213 is operatively connected to the pre-assembly lifting assembly 23, and the lifting drive device 231 is fixed on the transverse slider 222. The pre-installed gripper 211 grips the two sides of button A2, while the feeding gripper 1223 grips the other two sides. The different gripping directions allow for connection between the two grippers. The pre-installed gripper 211 picks up the button from the feeding gripper 1223, and then the pre-installed lateral movement assembly 22 drives the pre-installed gripper 211 to move laterally above the pressure plate positioning groove 311 of the first station, aligning button A2 with the button mounting position on the pressure plate A1. The pre-installed lifting assembly 23 then drives the pre-installed gripper 211 to descend, completing the pre-installation of the button.

[0074] Because the button is gripped by claws, significant downward pressure cannot be applied during pre-installation to ensure proper placement. Therefore, if... Figure 1 and Figure 9 As shown, a pressure plate button clamping mechanism 5 is provided at the second work station. Specifically, the button clamping mechanism 5 includes: a first pressure block 51 disposed at the second work station corresponding to the pressure plate carrier 31 above it, and a first pressure block driving device 52 connected to the first pressure block 51. The first pressure block 51 is configured to correspond to the shape of the pressure plate A1 and to correspond to the installation position of the button A2. The first pressure block driving device 52 can be driven by a cylinder.

[0075] like Figure 1 and 10 As shown in Figure 11, the base positioning device 71 includes: a connecting section 711 disposed on the base transmission rail 70 and a lifting drive device 712 disposed below the connecting section 711. The base transmission rail 70 includes a first side rail 70a and a second side rail 70b on both sides and a belt (not shown in the figure) located between the two. When the base A3 is driven to the position by the belt, it is lifted away from the belt by the lifting device 712 to achieve positioning.

[0076] Furthermore, the connecting section 711 is supported by a connecting section support 717. The lifting drive device 712 includes a first lifting drive device 7121 driven by the support 717 and a second lifting drive device 7122 driven by the connecting section 711. The first lifting device disengages the base A3 from the belt, and the second lifting device 7122 lifts the base A3 to a suitable position. This two-stage lifting allows for better precision control.

[0077] Furthermore, the connecting segment 711 includes a first connecting segment 711a and a second connecting segment 711b that are respectively connected to both sides of the base transmission rail 70. The first connecting segment 711a and the second connecting segment 711b are provided with a clamping and positioning driving device 713, which is used to drive the first connecting segment 711a and the second connecting segment 711b to move relative to each other to achieve clamping and positioning of the base.

[0078] Furthermore, the clamping and positioning drive device 713 includes: a clamping drive motor 7131 and a gear and rack mechanism 7132 that is drivenly connected to the clamping drive motor 7131, wherein the gear and rack mechanism 7132 is drivenly connected to the first connecting section 711a and the second connecting section 711b.

[0079] Furthermore, the base positioning device 71 also includes a base transmission positioning component 714, which includes a positioning block 7141 and a block driving device 7142 disposed on one side of the connecting section 711. Positioning of the base A3 by the positioning block 7141 allows for more precise positioning.

[0080] Furthermore, such as Figure 11 , 12 As shown, when base A3 is transported to the position of base positioning device 71 on the transmission rail, the contacts are already pre-installed. Therefore, the base positioning device 71 also includes a contact positioning assembly 715, which stands the contacts upright so that they can pass through the pre-drilled holes in the pressure plate A1 during subsequent installation. The contact positioning assembly 715 includes a positioning clamping bar 7151, a clamping bar positioning drive device 7152, and a clamping bar lateral movement drive device 7153. The positioning clamping bars 7151 are two bars arranged opposite each other. The clamping bar positioning drive device 7152 can adopt a gripper cylinder structure to realize the relative movement of the positioning clamping bars 7151. The lateral movement drive device 7153 enables the positioning clamping bars 7151 to extend into the base A3 or retract beyond the connecting section 711. The positioning clamping bars 7151 clamp and position the contacts to prevent contact misalignment, thereby facilitating the subsequent installation of the pressure plate.

[0081] Furthermore, such as Figure 13 , 14As shown, the semi-finished product transfer mechanism 6 includes a third robotic arm 61 and a third robotic claw 62 connected to the third robotic arm 61. The third robotic claw 62 includes a third gripper 621, a third gripper drive device 622, a pressure plate top surface positioning block 623, and a pressure plate side edge positioning block 624. The pressure plate top surface positioning block 623 is located within the gripping area of ​​the third gripper 621 corresponding to the position of the button A2. The pressure plate side edge positioning blocks 624 are located on the other two sides of the pressure plate A1. By positioning the pressure plate assembly using the pressure plate top surface positioning block 623 and the pressure plate side edge positioning blocks 624, deformation of the pressure plate assembly and the button dislodging from its original position during the transfer process can be avoided. After the base A3 and its contacts are positioned, the semi-finished product transfer mechanism 6 picks up the pressure plate assembly from the third station and transfers it to the base positioning device 71 (and the pressure plate assembly mounting position).

[0082] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 15 As shown, in the transmission direction of the base transmission rail 70, a semi-finished product pressing mechanism 8 is also provided after the base positioning device 71. The semi-finished product pressing mechanism 8 includes: a semi-finished product pressing block 82 and a semi-finished product pressing block driving device 81 connected to the semi-finished product pressing block 82.

[0083] Based on the above, this embodiment can also provide a switch assembly device, including any of the switch component semi-finished product assembly devices described above.

It should not be construed that the specific implementation of the present invention is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, various simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and all such modifications and substitutions should be considered within the protection scope of the present invention.
