Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automatic shoe cabinet assembly technology, specifically relating to an automatic assembly device for a middle folding rod. Background Technology

[0002] Shoe cabinets are a common tool for storing shoes and are frequently used in daily life. Most existing shoe cabinets are foldable, assembled by splicing together individual panels and a back panel, with connecting rods between the panels to facilitate folding or unfolding. A patent with publication number CN208610164U discloses a quick-assembly shoe cabinet, including: a base plate; side panels hinged to opposite sides of the base plate; locking components for locking or unlocking the side panels; door panels hinged to the two side panels respectively; fasteners for fixing or unfixing the door panels; and several detachable partitions mounted on the side panels for carrying shoes, with the partition at the end of the side panel away from the base plate forming the cabinet top. However, the existing shoe cabinet assembly, using side panels, door panels, and partitions, results in poor folding performance. Furthermore, assembly is often done manually, leading to low automation and slow assembly speed. Therefore, an automated assembly device with a central folding rod is needed to overcome these difficulties. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention addresses the problems existing in the prior art by designing an automatic assembly device for a middle folding rod. This invention assembles the middle folding rod using a middle folding rod assembly component and a flip-feed component, achieving high automatic assembly efficiency and good folding effect between the middle folding rod and the panel.

[0004] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution: an automatic assembly device for a middle folding rod, comprising a main support, a material transfer assembly for conveying a panel on the main support, a first support directly above the main support, and a middle folding rod assembly assembly on the first support, the middle folding rod assembly assembly comprising a horizontal sliding seat, a vertical lifting seat, and a screw-driving device, the horizontal sliding seat being slidably connected to the first support; the vertical lifting seat being slidably connected to the horizontal sliding seat, and the vertical lifting seat and the screw-driving device being arranged in pairs; a second support is also provided on the side of the main support, and a flip-feed assembly is installed on the second support, the flip-feed assembly comprising a material placement base for placing the middle folding rod; an automatic feeding device is also provided on the side of the flip-feed assembly.

[0006] Preferably, the vertical lifting base is provided with a lifting slider that is slidably connected thereto, and the vertical lifting base is provided with a pair of guide rails, on which the lifting slider is slidably installed; the lifting slider is located directly below the screw-driving device, and the lifting slider is provided with a plurality of threaded holes for installing fastening screws; a first gripper cylinder is also fixedly installed on the lifting slider, and the first gripper cylinder is arranged adjacent to the end of the screw-driving device.

[0007] Preferably, the first gripper cylinder is positioned towards the flipping and feeding assembly, and the screw-driving device is positioned directly opposite the hole on the panel; the two screw-driving devices are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the horizontal sliding seat.

[0008] When the flip-feed assembly moves the middle folding rod towards the first support, the horizontal cylinder drives the horizontal sliding seat to move horizontally, and the drive motor drives the vertical lifting seat to move vertically up and down. The vertical lifting seat is equipped with a first gripping cylinder, which smoothly grips the middle folding rod on the flip-feed assembly. The approximate height of the first gripping cylinder can be pre-adjusted using a lifting slider, and then the lifting slider is fixed to the vertical lifting seat with fastening screws. This prevents the vertical lifting seat from moving up and down significantly, allowing the middle folding rod to be quickly placed on the panel. When the middle folding rod is placed on the panel, the vertical cylinder operates, driving the screw-driving device to move vertically. When the screw-driving device approaches the panel, it secures the middle folding rod to the panel.

[0009] Preferably, the tilting and feeding assembly includes a tilting cylinder, a translation cylinder, and a connecting rod; the tilting cylinder is fixedly mounted on a second bracket, and a connecting rod is provided on the rotating shaft of the tilting cylinder, with a second gripper cylinder fixedly mounted at the end of the connecting rod; the second bracket is also provided with a sliding platform slidably connected thereto, and the translation cylinder is fixedly mounted on the second bracket, with its piston shaft connected to the sliding platform; the sliding platform is provided with a pair of feeding bases; and a pair of feeding cylinders are also provided on both sides of the sliding platform.

[0013] Preferably, the main support is also provided with a number of positioning cylinders for fixing the panel, and the positioning cylinders are set near the middle folding rod assembly on the first support.

[0014] The intermediate folding rod, transported from the automatic feeding device, is initially in a horizontal position. A tilting cylinder switches the rod from horizontal to vertical. A translation cylinder controls the sliding platform to first approach the end of the connecting rod, causing the second gripper cylinder to release and place the intermediate folding rod onto the placement base. The sliding platform then moves again, simultaneously with the sliding table cylinder controlling the placement base to move synchronously, bringing the intermediate folding rod closer to the feeding cylinder. The feeding cylinder then aligns the feeding steel pipe with the holes on the intermediate folding rod. The feeding steel pipe is connected to a screw feeding device via a flexible hose. The screw feeding device is a standard component that sequentially feeds individual screws, automatically delivering them into the holes on the intermediate folding rod. The screw feeding device and flexible hose are standard components and are not shown in the accompanying drawings. The sliding platform then moves again, bringing the intermediate folding rod with the screws closer to the intermediate folding rod assembly. During installation, a positioning cylinder fixes the panel to the main support, automatically aligning the holes on the intermediate folding rod with those on the panel.

The moving seat 41 is rotatably connected; the motor shaft of the drive motor 46 is connected to the lead screw 47, the vertical lifting seat 42 meshes with the lead screw 47, and when the drive motor 46 drives the lead screw 47 to rotate, the vertical lifting seat 42 moves up and down relative to the panel on the main support 1; a motor mounting seat 48 is slidably installed on the vertical lifting seat 42, and a vertical cylinder 45 is fixedly installed on the top of the vertical lifting seat 42. The piston shaft of the vertical cylinder 45 is connected to the motor mounting seat 48, and a screw-driving device 43 is fixedly installed on the motor mounting seat 48. The vertical lifting seat 42 is provided with a lifting slider 49 slidably connected thereto. The vertical lifting seat 42 is provided with paired guide rails 410, on which the lifting slider 49 is slidably mounted. The lifting slider 49 is positioned directly below the screw-driving device 43 and has several threaded holes 411 for installing fastening screws. A first gripper cylinder 412 is also fixedly mounted on the lifting slider 49, adjacent to the end of the screw-driving device 43. The first gripper cylinder 412 faces the flipping feeding assembly 6, and the screw-driving device 43 faces the holes on the panel. The two screw-driving devices 43 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the horizontal sliding seat 41.

[0024] The tilting and feeding assembly 6 includes a tilting cylinder 62, a translation cylinder 63, and a connecting rod 64. The tilting cylinder 62 is fixedly mounted on the second bracket 5. The connecting rod 64 is mounted on the rotating shaft of the tilting cylinder 62, and a second gripper cylinder 65 is fixedly mounted at the end of the connecting rod 64. The second bracket 5 is also provided with a sliding platform 66 slidably connected thereto. The translation cylinder 63 is fixedly mounted on the second bracket 5, and its piston shaft is connected to the sliding platform 66. The sliding platform 66 is provided with a pair of feeding bases 61. The sliding platform 66 is also provided with a pair of feeding cylinders 67 on both sides. The sliding platform 66 is provided with a sliding cylinder 68, and the feeding base 61 is fixedly mounted on the slider of the sliding cylinder 68. When the sliding cylinder 68 is working, it drives the feeding base 61 to move relative to the feeding cylinder 67.

The feeding steel pipe 611 is arranged vertically. An automatic feeding device 7 is provided on the side of the flipping feeding assembly 6. When the flipping cylinder 62 is working, it drives the second gripper cylinder 65 to rotate between the automatic feeding device 7 and the unloading base 61. The main support 1 is also equipped with several positioning cylinders 8 for fixing the panel. The positioning cylinders 8 are located near the middle folding rod assembly 4 on the first support 3.

[0025] The specific operation process of this embodiment is as follows: The intermediate folding rod transported from the automatic feeding device 7 is in a horizontal state. The flipping cylinder 62 switches the intermediate folding rod from a horizontal state to a vertical state; the translation cylinder 63 controls the sliding platform 66 to first move close to the end of the connecting rod 64, so that the second gripper cylinder 65 releases and places the intermediate folding rod on the placement base 61; then the sliding platform 66 moves again, and at the same time the sliding table cylinder 68 controls the placement base 61 to move synchronously, so that the intermediate folding rod on the placement base 61 moves close to the feeding cylinder 67; then the feeding cylinder 67 works to feed the steel... The tube 611 is aligned with the hole on the intermediate folding rod. The feeding tube 611 is connected to the screw feeding device through a hose. The screw feeding device is an existing standard part that can transport individual screws in sequence, so that the screws can be automatically fed into the hole of the intermediate folding rod. Here, the screw feeding device and the hose are existing standard parts and are not shown in the attached drawings of the instruction manual. Then the sliding platform 66 moves again, so that the intermediate folding rod with the screw is close to the intermediate folding rod assembly 4. When installing the intermediate folding rod, the panel is fixed to the main support 1 by the positioning cylinder 8, so that the hole of the intermediate folding rod can be automatically aligned with the hole on the panel.

[0026] When the flip-feed assembly 6 transports the intermediate folding rod towards the vicinity of the first support 3, the horizontal cylinder 44 drives the horizontal sliding seat 41 to move horizontally, and the drive motor 46 drives the vertical lifting seat 42 to move vertically up and down. The vertical lifting seat 42 is equipped with a first clamping cylinder 412, which can smoothly grab the intermediate folding rod on the flip-feed assembly 6. Here, the approximate height of the first clamping cylinder 412 can be pre-adjusted by the lifting slider 49, and then the lifting slider 49 is fixed to the vertical lifting seat 42 by fastening screws. This avoids large up and down movements of the vertical lifting seat 42, so that the intermediate folding rod can be quickly placed on the panel. When the intermediate folding rod is placed on the panel, the vertical cylinder 45 operates to drive the screw-driving device 43 to move vertically. When the screw-driving device 43 approaches the panel, it can fix the intermediate folding rod to the panel.
