They are used only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0024] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "equipped with," and "connected," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0025] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-3 The protective case mounting mechanism for a mobile phone case shown includes:

[0026] The mounting platform 100 is equipped with casters and height-adjustable support feet at its bottom. When processing is required, the support feet are extended until the casters leave the ground, at which point the support feet can provide stable support for the mounting platform 100. When the mounting platform 100 needs to be moved, the support feet are shortened until the casters contact the ground and the support feet leave the ground, at which point the mounting platform can be moved easily by the casters.

[0027] The mobile phone case loading device 200 is located on the top side of the mounting platform 100. The mobile phone case loading device 200 includes a loading robot 201 and a suction cup 202 fixed to the end of the loading robot 201. The suction cup 202 can firmly adhere to the mobile phone case to prevent the mobile phone case from falling and being damaged during the loading process. The loading robot 201 is controlled by a preset program to accurately move the mobile phone case from the primary positioning device 300 to the secondary positioning device 400, and then from the secondary positioning device 400 to the mounting groove 702, thereby embedding the mobile phone case into the protective sleeve located in the mounting groove 702.

[0028] A primary positioning device 300 is installed on one side of the loading robot 201. The primary positioning device 300 includes an electric push rod 301 and a limiting block 302 corresponding to the electric push rod 301. The telescopic end of the electric push rod 301 is opposite to the limiting block 302. When the tray containing the mobile phone case is placed in the designated position of the installation platform 100, the electric push rod 301 is activated. The telescopic end of the electric push rod 301 pushes the tray closer to the limiting block 302 until one side of the tray is tightly fitted with the limiting block 302, thus completing the initial positioning of the mobile phone case and laying the foundation for the subsequent accurate installation of the protective case.

[0029] A secondary positioning device 400 is located on the other side of the loading robot 201. The secondary positioning device 400 includes a secondary positioning platform 401, an electric push rod 402 located on one side of the secondary positioning platform 401, and a limiting block 403 located on the top of the secondary positioning platform 401. The loading robot 201 uses a suction cup 202 to pick up and move the mobile phone case in the tray onto the secondary positioning platform 401. At this time, the electric push rod 402 is activated. The telescopic end of the electric push rod 402 pushes the mobile phone case closer to the limiting block 403 until one side of the mobile phone case is tightly attached to the limiting block 403, thus completing the secondary positioning of the mobile phone case.

[0030] The pressing device 500 is located on one side of the secondary positioning platform 401. The pressing device 500 includes a pneumatic pressing mechanism 501 and electric stretching mechanisms 502 located on both sides of the pneumatic pressing mechanism 501. First, the two electric stretching mechanisms 502 are started simultaneously. The motor drives the screw to rotate, and then the pull rod drives the pull hook to stretch to both sides. The pull hook hooks onto the pull ring at the bottom of the protective case to assist the protective case in unfolding. Then, the pneumatic pressing mechanism 501 drives the pressure rod and pressure block to press down in the inclined direction through the cylinder, pressing the phone case tightly into the protective case, ensuring that there are no gaps between the protective case and the phone case, improving the installation effect, and further enhancing the stability and accuracy of the installation.

[0031] For example, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, it also includes a protective sleeve feeding device 600, which is located on one side of the installation platform 100. The protective sleeve feeding device 600 includes a vibrating screen 601 and a protective net 602 surrounding the vibrating screen 601.

[0032] In this technical solution, the vibrating screen 601 arranges and transports the protective sleeves one by one to the designated position through vibration, while the protective net 602 effectively prevents the protective sleeves from scattering during the transportation process, ensuring the continuity and stability of the feeding. In addition, the vibration frequency and amplitude of the vibrating screen 601 can be adjusted according to actual needs to adapt to protective sleeves of different sizes and materials, further improving the versatility and flexibility of the mechanism.

[0033] For example, see Figure 3 As shown, it also includes a rotating device 700, which includes a turntable 701 disposed on the top of the mounting platform 100. The turntable 701 has four mounting slots 702. The mounting platform 100 is equipped with a servo motor that drives the turntable 701 to rotate.

[0034] In this technical solution, the design of the rotating device 700 greatly improves work efficiency and automation. The four mounting slots 702 on the turntable 701 can accommodate four phone cases at the same time. The servo motor drives the turntable 701 to rotate, so that the phone cases can enter each station in sequence for protective cover installation. This design not only saves space, but also makes the entire installation process smoother and more efficient. The rotation speed and dwell time of the turntable 701 can be adjusted according to actual needs to ensure that each phone case is properly processed and installed.

[0035] For example, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, it also includes a feeding device 800, which includes a conveyor belt 801 disposed on one side of the mounting platform 100 and a feeding robot 802 disposed on the top side of the mounting platform 100.

[0036] In this technical solution, the unloading robot 802 is responsible for removing the phone case with the protective cover installed from the turntable 701 and placing it onto the conveyor belt 801. The conveyor belt 801 is responsible for transporting the phone case with the protective cover installed to the designated position. In addition, the conveying speed of the conveyor belt 801 and the operating frequency of the unloading robot 802 can be adjusted according to actual needs to adapt to different production rhythms and requirements.

[0037] For example, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the end of the unloading robot 802 is connected to a gripper 804 via a rotating shaft 803, and the bottom of the gripper 804 is provided with a suction cup 805.

[0038] In this technical solution, the end of the unloading robot 802 is also equipped with a rotary motor that drives the rotating shaft 803 to rotate. The gripper 804 grabs the material tray on the conveyor belt 801, and the rotating shaft 803 drives the gripper 804 to rotate 90°, which can make the placement slots in the material tray face the same direction. This makes it easier for the suction cup 805 to stably and accurately place the mobile phone case with the protective case installed into the placement slot of the material tray. This design not only improves the stability and accuracy of unloading, but also further enhances the automation level and production efficiency of the entire protective case installation mechanism.

[0039] For example, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the pneumatic pressing mechanism 501 includes a cylinder, a pressing rod and a pressing block connected in sequence. The pneumatic pressing mechanism 501 is arranged in an inclined direction, and the central axis surface of the pneumatic pressing mechanism 501 coincides with the central axis surface of its corresponding mounting groove 702.

[0040] In this technical solution, the combination of cylinder, pressure rod, and pressure block arranged along the inclined direction not only ensures sufficient downward pressure but also allows the pressure block to accurately align and fit against one end of the phone case, thereby pushing the protective cover to tightly wrap around the phone case. The central axis surface of the pneumatic pressing mechanism 501 coincides with the central axis surface of the mounting groove 702, ensuring that the pneumatic pressing mechanism 501 can press the phone case into the protective cover within the mounting groove 702. In practical applications, the working pressure and speed of the pneumatic pressing mechanism 501 can be adjusted according to the material and size of the phone case and protective cover to adapt to different production needs.

[0041] For example, see Figure 3 As shown, the two electric tensioning mechanisms 502 are distributed at a 90° angle. Each electric tensioning mechanism 502 includes a motor, a screw, a pull rod, and a hook connected in sequence. The hook matches the pull ring at the bottom of the protective sleeve.

[0042] In this technical solution, two electric stretching mechanisms 502 are arranged at a 90° angle to facilitate stretching of the protective case, ensuring that the case can evenly and tightly wrap around the phone casing. The motor drives the screw to rotate, which in turn moves the pull rod and hook. The hook then tightly engages the pull ring at the bottom of the protective case, achieving the stretching action. This design not only improves the efficiency and accuracy of stretching but also avoids the unevenness and damage that may occur with manual stretching. In practical applications, the stretching force and speed of the electric stretching mechanism 502 can be adjusted according to the material and size of the protective case to adapt to different production needs.

[0043] Working Principle: When this protective case installation mechanism for mobile phone cases is in operation, the electric push rod 301 and the limiting block 302 of the primary positioning device 300 first perform preliminary positioning of the mobile phone case tray placed on the installation platform 100. Then, the mobile phone case feeding device 200, through the cooperation of the feeding robot 201 and the suction cup 202, grabs the mobile phone case from the tray and places it on the secondary positioning platform 401. Next, the electric push rod 402 and the limiting block 403 of the secondary positioning device 400 perform precise positioning of the mobile phone case. At the same time, the vibrating screen 601 of the protective case feeding device 600 starts working, arranging and conveying the protective cases one by one to the designated position through vibration. The protective net 602 effectively prevents the protective cases from scattering during the conveying process. Once the protective case reaches the designated position, the servo motor of the rotating device 700 drives the turntable 701 to rotate, sending the protective case to the bottom of the pressing device 500. Then, the loading robot 201 places one end of the phone case into the protective case. At this time, the pneumatic pressing mechanism 501 presses down in the inclined direction, while the two electric stretching mechanisms 502 also stretch the protective case to ensure that the protective case can evenly and tightly wrap the phone case. Finally, after the phone case and protective case are installed, the rotating device 700 continues to rotate, sending the phone case and protective case to the unloading device 800. The unloading robot 802 takes the phone case out of the mounting slot 702 and places it on the conveyor belt 801, which then transports it to the designated position, completing the entire installation process. This protective case installation mechanism for mobile phone cases features an advanced design, compact structure, ease of use, and reliable operation. Through the cooperation of the loading robot 201 and suction cup 202, rapid loading of mobile phone cases is achieved. The cooperation of the primary positioning device 300 and the secondary positioning device 400 ensures precise positioning of the mobile phone case, guaranteeing accurate installation of the protective case. The pressing device 500 ensures the mobile phone case is completely installed inside the protective case, significantly improving installation accuracy and effect. The mechanism also includes a protective case loading device 600, which, through the cooperation of a vibrating screen 601 and a protective net 602, enables rapid loading of the protective case, avoiding the tediousness and inconvenience of manual loading. Furthermore, the mechanism includes a rotating device 700 and a unloading device 800. The rotating device 700 allows the protective case to automatically rotate to the next workstation, while the unloading device 800 enables automatic unloading of both the mobile phone case and the protective case, further improving work efficiency.

[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
