Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an electronic scale sensor assembly machine. Background Technology

[0002] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, existing electronic scales include a roughly square base shell 10, with a sensor mounting position at each of the four corners of the base shell 10. Each sensor mounting position is used to install a sensor assembly 20. Existing sensor assemblies 20 are generally installed manually. For example, Chinese Utility Model Patent Specification CN203650395U discloses an electronic scale assembly production line using a robot, in which an operator 1 installs the sensor mounting base onto the glass. This manual installation method is not only labor-intensive but also has low production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an electronic scale sensor assembly machine for installing four sensor assemblies into the base shell of an electronic scale. Each of the four corners of the base shell has a sensor mounting position, and each sensor mounting position is used to install one sensor assembly. The machine includes a frame, a sliding frame, a lifting frame, and four gripping mechanisms. The sliding frame is slidably mounted on the frame along the Y-axis, and a first driving mechanism is provided between the sliding frame and the frame to drive the sliding frame to slide. The lifting frame is vertically mounted on the sliding frame along the Z-axis, and a second driving mechanism is provided between the lifting frame and the sliding frame to drive the lifting frame to slide. The four gripping mechanisms are mounted on the lifting frame and arranged at the four corners of a square, with each gripping mechanism corresponding to one of the sensor mounting positions. Each gripping mechanism includes a gripping component for gripping the sensor assembly and a pushing mechanism for pressing the sensor assembly on the gripping component into the sensor mounting position. The Y-axis and Z-axis are perpendicular to each other.

[0004] This invention enables the automatic mechanical installation of four sensor components into the bottom shell of the electronic scale, replacing manual installation, which not only saves labor but also improves production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, further illustrates the proposed solution.

[0025] like Figures 3 to 10 The electronic scale sensor assembly machine shown is used to install four sensor assemblies 20 into the bottom shell 10 of the electronic scale. The bottom shell 10 has a sensor mounting position 101 at each of its four corners, and each sensor mounting position 101 is used to install one sensor assembly 20.

[0026] It includes a frame 301, a sliding frame 302, a lifting frame 303, and four gripping and releasing mechanisms 304;

[0027] The sliding frame 302 is slidably mounted on the frame 301 along the Y-axis. A first driving mechanism for driving the sliding frame 302 to slide is provided between the sliding frame 302 and the frame 301. In this embodiment, a first guiding mechanism for guiding the sliding frame 302 to slide along the Y-axis is also provided between the sliding frame 302 and the frame 301.

[0028] The lifting frame 303 is mounted on the sliding frame 302 in a vertically moving manner along the Z-axis. When the lifting frame 303 descends, it approaches the bottom shell 10 of the electronic scale, and when the lifting frame 303 rises, it moves away from the bottom shell 10 of the electronic scale. A second driving mechanism for driving the lifting frame 303 to slide is provided between the lifting frame 303 and the sliding frame 302. In this embodiment, a second guiding mechanism for guiding the lifting frame 303 to slide vertically along the Z-axis is also provided between the lifting frame 303 and the sliding frame 302.

[0029] The four gripping and releasing mechanisms 304 are mounted on the lifting frame 303 and are arranged at the four corners of a square. The position of each gripping and releasing mechanism 304 corresponds to the position of one sensor mounting position 101.

[0030] Each gripping and releasing mechanism 304 includes a gripping and releasing component 305 for gripping and releasing sensor assembly 20 and a pushing mechanism for pressing the sensor assembly 20 on the gripping and releasing component 305 into the sensor mounting position 101 located below the gripping and releasing component 305.

[0031] The Y-axis and Z-axis are perpendicular to each other.

[0032] This technical solution enables the automated installation of four sensor assemblies into the base of the electronic scale, replacing manual installation and saving labor while improving production efficiency. A push-pressing mechanism presses the sensor assemblies into the sensor mounting positions 101 to achieve sensor installation.

[0033] The pushing mechanism includes a pushing block 306 and a third driving mechanism 307 mounted on the lifting frame 303 for driving the pushing block 306 to move up and down along the Z-axis.

[0034] When the push block 306 descends, it pushes the sensor assembly 20 on the gripping and releasing component 305 into the sensor mounting position 101 located below the gripping and releasing component 305;

[0035] The gripping and releasing component 305 includes a vacuum suction cup. In this embodiment, the vacuum suction cup is connected to a vacuum generator (not shown in the figure) via a pipeline. The pushing mechanism disclosed in this technical solution is reasonably designed, simple in structure, and easy to implement.

[0036] Each gripping and releasing mechanism 304 also includes a positioning surface 308, which is inclined. The sensor assembly 20 gripped by the gripping and releasing component 305 is placed against the positioning surface 308, allowing the sensor assembly 20 to be tilted into the sensor mounting position 101 of the electronic scale base shell 10. This technical solution facilitates the installation of the sensor assembly into the sensor mounting position, and this inclined pressing installation method is similar to the installation method of dry cell batteries.

[0037] In this embodiment, the first to third driving mechanisms can be motors, cylinders, electric push rods, etc., and the first to second guiding mechanisms can be conventional guide rail structures.

[0038] The working process of this utility model can be seen below.

[0039] 1. Place the base of the electronic scale on the designated workstation. Each of the four gripping mechanisms grips one sensor assembly. The sensor assemblies can be manually placed onto vacuum suction cups and then picked up by the suction cups. Alternatively, the four sensor assemblies can be arranged at the four corners of a square on another workstation. Then, the sliding frame is driven to position the four gripping mechanisms directly above the four sensor assemblies. The lifting frame is then driven to lower so that the vacuum suction cups of each of the four gripping mechanisms touch one sensor assembly, which is then picked up by the vacuum suction cups. Other existing technologies can also be used to grip the sensor assemblies, which will not be elaborated here.

[0040] 2. For example Figure 11 As shown, the sliding frame 302 is driven along the Y-axis so that the four gripping and releasing mechanisms that have already gripped the sensor components are directly above the bottom shell of the electronic scale. At this time, each gripping and releasing mechanism 304 is directly above a sensor mounting position.

[0041] 3. For example Figure 12 As shown, in Figure 11 Based on this, the lifting frame 303 is driven to descend to a predetermined position so that the sensor assemblies 20 adsorbed by the four gripping and releasing components 305 respectively enter one sensor mounting position.

[0042] 4. Figure 13 It shows Figure 12 A schematic diagram of a gripping and releasing mechanism 304 is shown. The gripping and releasing component 305 adsorbs the sensor assembly 20, which enters the sensor mounting position in an inclined state. Figure 14 It shows Figure 13 The main view.

[0043] 5. For example Figure 15 As shown, in Figure 13 Based on this, the push block 306 is driven to descend, thereby pushing the sensor assembly 20 on the gripping and releasing component 305 into the sensor mounting position, wherein Figure 16 It shows Figure 15 The front view shows how the sensor assembly can be installed into the sensor mounting position on the bottom shell of the electronic scale.
