Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of automated assembly equipment components for electrical components, and in particular to a switch assembly device. Background Technology
[0002] Against the backdrop of continuous development in industrial production, the demand for switches, as a key basic component in the field of electronics and electrical engineering, continues to rise, and the requirements for assembly efficiency and quality are also increasing. In order to meet the needs of large-scale production, various electrical component switch assembly equipment and components have emerged. These equipment, through the integration of a series of automated operations, have gradually replaced the traditional manual assembly methods, greatly improving production efficiency, reducing labor costs, and becoming an indispensable and important part of the switch manufacturing industry.
[0003] In the current assembly line production model, the assembly process of switches involves multiple steps such as welding, pressing, and testing. This requires the sequential arrangement of multiple devices with different functions on the production line. These devices are usually directly fixed to the operating table, typically using connectors for fixation. However, during peak factory periods, the processed products are often characterized by small quantities, numerous models, and constantly changing product types. The production line frequently needs to adjust the position and spacing of the equipment, or replace different models of equipment to adapt to new products. The traditional fixed installation method reveals obvious limitations: because the equipment is rigidly connected to the table, any adjustment must first be made by... All fixed connectors must be disassembled, the entire device removed from the desktop, and then reinstalled and secured after adjustments or replacements are made. Some products may only require millimeter-level fine-tuning. For example, due to slight deviations in the housing dimensions of a certain batch of switches, the position of the welding head of the welding equipment needs to be adjusted by 1-2 millimeters to ensure welding accuracy, or the pressure head of the pressing device needs to be slightly offset to adapt to the new fastening structure. However, even such minor adjustments have to go through the entire process of disassembly, movement, and re-secured. This not only consumes a lot of already tight production time due to frequent disassembly and assembly operations, but also leads to a significant decrease in the effective operating rate of the equipment, making it difficult to meet the production needs of multiple models and small batches.
[0004] Therefore, a switch assembly device is designed. Utility Model Content
[0005] This utility model addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a switch assembly device. It solves the problem that in traditional assembly lines, switch assembly devices are often fixed to the desktop, requiring complete disassembly and reassembly when adjusting their position or spacing, or when replacing the device to adapt to new products, which is time-consuming.

[0033] It is understood that the term "a" should be understood as "at least one" or "one or more," that is, in one embodiment, the number of an element can be one, while in another embodiment, the number of the element can be multiple, and the term "a" should not be understood as a limitation on the number. Example
[0034] Please see Figure 1-9A switch assembly device includes an assembly table 1, on the top of which multiple mounting components 2 are fixedly mounted. Each mounting component 2 has an adjustable base 4 that can slide along a preset trajectory. The adjustable base 4 achieves fine-tuning of its position through sliding. Each adjustable base 4 also has an assembly device component 3 fixedly mounted on its top for performing switch assembly operations. Each mounting component 2 includes a mounting base 21 fixedly mounted to the assembly table 1 by bolts. A convex rail 22 is fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting base 21. Multiple slots 221 are equidistantly distributed on one outer wall of the convex rail 22. The convex rail 22 is slidably connected to the adjustable base 4, and the adjustable base 4 has a movable groove 41. A locking component is slidably mounted inside the movable groove 41. 5. The locking component 5 and the slot 221 are detachably snapped together; the locking component 5 includes a snap-on post 51 that is adapted to and snapped together with the slot 221. One end of the snap-on post 51 is fixedly connected to a cylinder 52. One end of the cylinder 52 extends to the outside of the adjusting base 4 and forms a sliding fit with the adjusting base 4. Rectangular slots 53 are respectively opened on both sides of the cylinder 52. Rotating rods 54 are rotatably installed on the outer walls of the two rectangular slots 53. A lever plate 541 is fixedly installed on the top of the rotating rod 54. The included angle between the lever plate 541 and the rotating rod 54 is set at an obtuse angle. A spring 42 is sleeved on the outer wall of the cylinder 52. The snap-on post 51 and the movable slot 41 are elastically connected by the spring 42. The two sides of the slot 221 are arc-shaped, and the end of the snap-on post 51 that snaps into the slot 221 is hemispherical.
[0035] according to Figure 3 The image shows a traditional mounting base that is directly fixed to the tabletop and equipment.
[0036] Multiple slots 221 evenly distributed on one side of the outer wall of the convex rail 22 provide a precise positioning reference for the sliding of the adjustment base 4. The operator can make quantitative adjustments according to the spacing of the slots 221. The matching engagement of the locking post 51 and the slot 221 in the locking component 5, combined with the elastic force of the spring 42, can fix the adjustment base 4 and effectively prevent the equipment from shifting due to vibration during operation. In addition, the design of the hemispherical engagement end of the locking post 51 and the arc-shaped sides of the slot 221 facilitates the engagement operation.
[0037] The operator only needs to move the lever 541 to move the cylinder 52 and the locking pin 51 through the rotating rod 54 to quickly release the lock; after adjusting to the correct position, release the lever 541 and the spring 42 will complete the relocking.
[0038] Its adjustable design allows it to easily adapt to the assembly needs of different models and specifications of switch products. When a product model needs to be changed, there is no need to replace or reinstall the equipment. The new production requirements can be met simply by fine-tuning the position of assembly equipment component 3. At the same time, the optimization and adjustment of the production process, such as adding or removing processes or changing the order of operations, can also be achieved by flexibly adjusting the position of the equipment. This greatly enhances the equipment's adaptability to diverse production needs and expands its application scope in different scenarios in the switch manufacturing industry.
[0039] Workflow
[0040] According to the preset process of the switch assembly line, such as the sequence of welding, pressing, and testing, the placement of each installation component 2 is planned on the assembly table 1 to ensure smooth connection of the working range of adjacent equipment and conform to the continuous operation logic of the assembly line.
[0041] The mounting base 21 is firmly fixed to the corresponding position on the top of the assembly table 1 by bolts and nuts, ensuring that it will not be displaced due to equipment vibration during subsequent operations, and ensuring that the extension direction of the convex rail 22 is consistent with the operation flow of the assembly line, providing a stable foundation for the sliding adjustment of the base 4.
[0042] Each functional assembly equipment component 3, such as welding machine and pressing device, is fixed to the top of the adjusting base 4 with bolts and nuts. During installation, the working end of the equipment needs to be aligned with the material conveying path of the production line.
[0043] The adjustment base 4, which is connected to the assembly equipment component 3, is fitted onto the convex rail 22 of the mounting base 21. After sliding adjustment to the initial working position, the locking component 5 is used to complete the initial fixation, ensuring that the equipment is in a stable state before starting.
[0044] When fine-tuning of the position of assembly equipment component 3 is required during assembly line operation, such as adjusting welding points or pressing pressure due to changes in material specifications, the operator holds the lever 541 and pushes it outward. Since the lever 541 and the rotating rod 54 are connected at an obtuse angle, under the action of the pushing force, the rotating rod 54 will rotate around the rotation point of the outer wall of the rectangular groove 53, thereby driving the cylinder 52 to move outward along the sliding direction of the adjusting base 4. The spring 42 sleeved on the outer wall of the cylinder 52 is compressed and stores elastic potential energy. The locking pin 51 slides outward synchronously with the cylinder 52 and completely disengages from the locking groove 221 of the convex rail 22, releasing the locking state between the adjusting base 4 and the convex rail 22.
[0045] The operator pushes the adjusting base 4 to make it slide smoothly along the preset track of the convex rail 22; during the process, the relative positions of the assembly equipment component 3 and the material can be determined by observing the equally spaced slots 221 on the convex rail 22.
[0046] When assembly equipment component 3 reaches the target position, the operator releases the lever 541, and the spring 42 releases the stored elastic potential energy, pushing the cylinder 52 to slide back into the adjusting base 4, and the locking pin 51 moves synchronously with it; since the locking end of the locking pin 51 is hemispherical and the two sides of the locking groove 221 are arc-shaped, the two will generate a guiding effect when they come into contact, so that the locking pin 51 can be smoothly locked into the locking groove 221 corresponding to the current position, realizing the re-locking of the adjusting base 4 and the convex rail 22, ensuring the stability of the position of assembly equipment component 3 during operation;
[0047] Confirm that all assembly equipment components 3 that need adjustment have been securely locked by locking components 5, that the power cords and signal lines of each piece of equipment are connected normally, and that the material conveying system of the production line is in a ready-to-start state.
[0048] The overall control system of switch assembly equipment component 3 is started, and each assembly equipment component 3 starts working according to the preset program and sequence: the welding equipment performs automated welding of the switch contacts, the pressing equipment completes the snap-fit pressing of the switch housing, and the testing equipment simultaneously performs performance testing on the assembled switch, etc. The various processes work together to complete the continuous assembly of the switch.
[0049] Once a batch of switches is assembled, the main power supply to the equipment is turned off, and each assembly equipment component 3 stops working. The assembly line conveyor system transports the last finished product to the receiving area. At this time, if the same model of switches is to be produced later, the equipment remains in its current position. Only the debris on the surface of the equipment needs to be cleaned and the connection status of each component needs to be checked to prepare for the next batch of production.
[0050] Reset adjustment during model change or process adjustment: If it is necessary to change the switch product model or adjust the production line process, such as adding or removing processes or changing the work sequence, the position of assembly equipment component 3 needs to be readjusted: Repeat the above position fine-tuning operation steps to adjust each piece of equipment to the position that meets the new production requirements.
[0051] Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of the present invention described above and shown in the accompanying drawings are merely examples and do not limit the present invention. The purpose of the present invention has been fully and effectively achieved. The functions and structural principles of the present invention have been shown and explained in the embodiments. Without departing from the principles, the implementation of the present invention may have any modifications or variations.
