Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of assembly line machinery and equipment, and specifically relates to an assembly line mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Assembly line is a production organization method that breaks down the product assembly process into multiple continuous steps. Workpieces are sequentially transferred to each workstation via conveyor belts or tracks, and the assembly is completed by manual or automated equipment in sequence. Assembly lines can be divided into various types, and belt conveyor assembly lines are one of them. They use belts (rubber, canvas, or metal belts) as the transmission carrier, and the belt is driven by a motor to drive the rollers. They are suitable for the conveying and assembly of light and small parts, such as the assembly of components for remote controls of electronic devices (such as mobile phones and computers) and home appliances (such as air conditioners and refrigerators).

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a production line assembly mechanism, including a support frame, comprising a column 11 and a crossbeam 12 fixed by screws, a vertical plate 13 fixed to one end of the crossbeam 12 by screws, and a first sensor 14 mounted on the vertical plate 13. The structure and principle of the first sensor 14 are prior art and will not be described in detail in this application. The column 11 and the crossbeam 12 serve as the fixing and support mechanism of this application, achieving the purpose of supporting and driving the assembly components. The first sensor 14 functions to sense the position of the workpiece, so that other devices can perform corresponding operations. Figure 1 In this context, E stands for belt conveyor. Figure 1 B in the text refers to part of the remote control casing. Figure 3C in the diagram represents a portion of the remote control housing. Housing B and housing C together form the completed remote control housing component. The drive assembly includes a motor linear guide 21 fixed to the crossbeam 12 by screws, a movable frame 22 sleeved on the outside of the motor linear guide 21 and the crossbeam 12, a lifting cylinder 23 fixed at its top and bottom surface of the movable frame 22 by screws, a gripper cylinder 24 fixed to the lifting cylinder 23 by screws, and a clamping plate 25 fixed to the gripper cylinder 24 by screws. The motor linear guide 21 utilizes a motor to drive a lead screw to rotate, causing the nut and slider to move, converting the motor's rotational motion into linear motion. When the motor linear guide 21 is working, the movable frame 22, the lifting cylinder 23, and the gripper cylinder 24 move in the same direction, effectively changing the lateral position of the lifting cylinder 23 and the gripper cylinder 24. When the lifting cylinder 23 is working… The device changes from a shortened state to an extended state, and functions as a lifting gripper cylinder 24, which can change the height position of the gripper cylinder 24. The clamping plate 25 on the gripper cylinder 24 clamps the housing B. The surface of the inner side wall of the clamping plate 25 matches the surface of the housing B. When the surface curve of the housing B changes, the clamping plate 25 can be disassembled and replaced with a suitable structure. The assembly box 4 is a separate structure from the bracket. The assembly box 4 is conveyed by the belt conveyor E. The housing C is installed inside the assembly box 4 and is constrained by the assembly box 4. The constraining components include a stabilizing plate 3 fixed to the support column 11 by screws and an electromagnet 31 installed on the stabilizing plate 3. When the electromagnet 31 is charged, it generates magnetism and attracts the assembly box 4, keeping the assembly box 4 stable.
[0027] In this embodiment, a connecting strip 5 is fixed to the side of the stabilizing plate 3 by screws. One end of the connecting strip 5 is fixed to a connecting plate 6 by screws. A third sensor 62 is installed on the surface of one end of the connecting plate 6, and a second sensor 61 is installed on the other end of the connecting plate 6. When the belt conveyor E conveys the assembly box 4, when the third sensor 62 senses the assembly box 4, it sends a signal to the external control terminal to put the push cylinder 8 into working state, and the push cylinder 8 changes from a shortened state to an extended state. Similarly, the second sensor 61 plays the role of sensing the assembly box 4. When the second sensor 61 senses the assembly box 4, the electromagnet 31 is in a charging state.
[0028] In this embodiment, a push cylinder 8 is fixed to one end of the connecting plate 6 near the third sensor 62 by screws. A push plate 9 is fixed to one end of the push cylinder 8 through the connecting plate 6 by screws. When the push cylinder 8 changes from a shortened state to an extended state, the push plate 9 pushes the assembly box 4, so that the assembly box 4 is pressed against the stabilizing plate 3, thereby changing the position of the assembly box 4.
[0029] In this embodiment, one end of the stabilizing plate 3 and the connecting strip 5 and the clamping plate 25 are all "L" shaped structures. The moving frame 22 is a hollow square frame structure, which facilitates the linear movement of the moving frame 22 along the length direction of the crossbeam 12. The electromagnet 31 is fixed to the assembly box 4 by magnetic adsorption. The electromagnet 31 plays the role of firmly holding the assembly box 4.
[0030] In this embodiment, an adjusting cylinder 71 is fixed to the bottom surface of the end of the crossbeam 12 near the vertical plate 13 by screws. A fixing plate 72 is fixed to the bottom end of the adjusting cylinder 71 by screws. A baffle 73 is fixed to the bottom end of the fixing plate 72 by screws. The first sensor 14 acts to sense the housing B. When the first sensor 14 senses the housing B, the adjusting cylinder 71 drives the fixing plate 72 and the baffle 73 to move down. The baffle 73 acts to block the housing B and the assembly box 4 conveyed by the belt conveyor E.
[0031] In this embodiment, both ends of the fixing plate 72 are right-angle structures, and the baffle 73 is an "L"-shaped structure. The baffle 73 blocks the housing B and assembly box 4 conveyed by the belt conveyor E.
[0032] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:
[0033] During the assembly of housing B and housing C, housing C and assembly box 4 are pre-processed and assembled together, and housing B, housing C and assembly box 4 are conveyed on belt conveyor E in a predetermined direction.
[0034] When the first sensor 14 senses the housing B, the adjusting cylinder 71 drives the fixing plate 72 and the baffle 73 to move down. The baffle 73 serves to block the housing B and the assembly box 4 being conveyed by the belt conveyor E.
[0035] At the same time, the lifting cylinder 23 changes from the shortened state to the extended state, lifting the gripper cylinder 24 and changing the height position of the gripper cylinder 24. The gripper cylinder 24 works, and the clamping plate 25 on the gripper cylinder 24 clamps the housing B. After clamping the housing B, the gripper cylinder 24 returns to the shortened state.
[0036] When the motor linear guide 21 is working, the moving frame 22, the lifting cylinder 23, and the gripper cylinder 24 move in the same direction along direction a, changing the lateral position of the lifting cylinder 23 and the gripper cylinder 24 so that the clamped housing B is located on the upper side of the assembly box 4.
[0037] When the third sensor 62 senses the assembly box 4 on the belt conveyor E, the push cylinder 8 changes from the shortened state to the extended state, and the push plate 9 pushes the assembly box 4 so that the assembly box 4 is pressed against the stabilizing plate 3, thus changing the position of the assembly box 4.
[0038] When the second sensor 61 senses the assembly box 4, the electromagnet 31 is in a charging state. The electromagnet 31 and the assembly box 4 are fixed by magnetic attraction, and the electromagnet 31 plays the role of firmly holding the assembly box 4.
[0039] When assembly box 4 and housing B are blocked by baffle 73, lifting cylinder 23 moves down, so that the clamped housing B and housing C in assembly box 4 are assembled into an integral structure.
[0040] After assembly, the motor linear guide 21 drives the moving frame 22, the lifting cylinder 23, and the gripper cylinder 24 to move in the opposite direction along the a direction, and the adjusting cylinder 71 is shortened to facilitate the next assembly.
[0041] In summary, the belt conveyor assembly line of this application has an automatic assembly design for assembling remote control shells for home appliances. Under the synergistic effect of the drive assembly components and the assembly box 4, the separate shells are assembled into an integral structure. Under the limiting effect of the limiting components, the stability of the assembly box 4 is guaranteed.
[0042] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described (see the detailed description above), it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
