Detailed Implementation

[0035] The technical solution of this embodiment of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiment is one embodiment of the present invention, and not all embodiments thereof. Based on this embodiment of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] Please refer to Figures 3 to 14 This utility model provides a water gun locking pin assembly mechanism.

[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, the water gun locking assembly mechanism includes a placement plate 2 installed in the middle, on which locking pins 13 are placed. A conveying fixture 5 is arranged in front of the placement plate 2 laterally, on which a water gun 1 is placed. The conveying fixture 5 is used to convey the water gun 1 to the assembly station. In automatic mode, the conveying fixture 5 is connected to the production line, and the production line drives the conveying fixture 5 to rotate, thereby accurately conveying the water gun 1 to the assembly station. In manual mode, the conveying fixture 5 can be fixed on the assembly station, and the operator can manually place the water gun 1 on the conveying fixture 5.

[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, the water gun locking pin assembly mechanism also includes a lateral output component 3 disposed on one side of the placement plate 2 for laterally and orderly outputting the locking pins 13; in this embodiment, the lateral output component 3 uses a vibratory feeder to automatically output the locking pins 13; in other embodiments, the locking pins 13 can be placed manually and transported to a designated position by a conveyor belt.

[0039] Furthermore, the placement plate 2 and the horizontal output component 3 are arranged longitudinally side by side, and the pin 13 is transported between them by the transfer component 4 above. The transfer component 4 transfers the pin 13 from the end of the horizontal output component 3 to the placement plate 2. In this embodiment, the transfer component 4 requires multiple degrees of freedom, including a longitudinal movement module, a vertical movement module, a rotation module, and a clamping module to achieve precise transfer of the pin 13. Among them, the longitudinal movement module is responsible for transporting the pin 13 in the longitudinal direction, the vertical movement module controls the lifting and lowering of the pin 13, the rotation module is used to adjust the direction of the pin 13, and the clamping module is responsible for clamping and releasing the pin 13.

[0040] In other embodiments, a multi-axis robot can be used to transfer the locking pin 13, thereby improving the flexibility and efficiency of the overall assembly. With the precise control of the multi-axis robot, the locking pin 13 can be picked up from the end of the lateral output component 3 and rotated and moved onto the placement plate 2.

[0041] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the locking pin 13 is arranged parallel on both sides, corresponding to the mounting groove 12 on the water gun 1 respectively. During assembly, the locking pin 13 needs to open on both sides so that it can be smoothly embedded into the mounting groove 12 of the water gun 1. Therefore, during transverse transport, it needs to pass through the triangular guide block 76, which guides the locking pin 13 to open.

[0042] In this embodiment, as Figure 11 As shown, the lower part of the conveying fixture 5 is equipped with a triangular guide block 76 for guiding the opening of the locking pin 13; the triangular guide block 76 moves vertically upward, passes through the conveying fixture 5, and reaches the front of the water gun 1, thereby facilitating the opening of the locking pin 13.

[0043] Furthermore, the placement plate 2 is also connected to the transverse drive assembly 6. The transverse drive assembly 6 drives the placement plate 2 to move laterally and move laterally toward the water gun 1 on the conveying fixture 5. The triangular guide block 76 guides the pin 13 to open and laterally inserts into both sides of the water gun 1, entering the mounting groove 12 on the water gun 1.

[0044] To accurately position the conveying fixture 5 and the water gun 1, in this embodiment, the lower part of the conveying fixture 5 is equipped with a positioning component 7 for positioning the conveying fixture 5, and the upper part of the conveying fixture 5 is equipped with a pressing component 8 for vertically pressing the water gun 1. The positioning component 7 and the pressing component 8 cooperate with each other to accurately position the water gun 1 and prevent the water gun 1 from shifting during assembly, ensuring that the locking pin 13 can be accurately embedded in the mounting groove 12.

[0045] Generally, the locking pin 13 is made of a magnetic material, such as iron or steel, so that it can be fixed to the placement plate 2 by magnetic adsorption during placement. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the placement plate 2 is provided with a placement groove 22 for placing one end of the locking pin 13. A magnetic adsorption device can be installed inside the placement groove 22, and the locking pin 13 can be stably adsorbed into the placement groove 22 by magnetic adsorption force, thus achieving a firm adsorption and fixation between the magnet and one end of the locking pin 13, thereby ensuring stable placement.

[0046] Furthermore, a transverse fixing plate 21 for upper limiting of the locking pin 13 is also installed above the placement plate 2. One end of the transverse fixing plate 21 is connected to a first transverse cylinder 23 installed above the placement plate 2. The first transverse cylinder 23 drives the transverse fixing plate 21 to extend and cover one end of the locking pin 13, limiting the upper part of one end of the locking pin 13 so that the locking pin 13 cannot be flipped on the placement groove 22; thereby effectively preventing the locking pin 13 from shifting or falling off due to vibration or collision during the conveying process.

[0047] Furthermore, to maintain the stability of the lateral movement of the transverse fixing plate 21, the placement plate 2 is also provided with a guide groove 24. One end of the transverse fixing plate 21 passes through the guide groove 24 to limit one end of the locking pin 13. The transverse fixing plate 21 moves laterally back and forth inside the guide groove 24 to ensure smooth movement of the transverse fixing plate 21.

[0048] like Figure 4 As shown, the lateral drive assembly 6 includes a first support plate 61 installed at the lower part of the placement plate 2. A second lateral cylinder 62 is installed at the end of the first support plate 61. The end of the second lateral cylinder 62 is connected to the placement plate 2. The second lateral cylinder 62 drives the placement plate 2 to move laterally and move closer to the conveying fixture 5, so as to convey the placement plate 2 and the locking pin 13 laterally.

[0049] Furthermore, to maintain the stability of the lateral movement of the placement plate 2 and the locking pin 13, in this embodiment, a lateral guide rail 63 is also installed on the first support plate 61, and a lateral slider 64 is installed on the lower part of the placement plate 2. The lateral slider 64 is sleeved on the lateral guide rail 63, and the second lateral cylinder 62 drives the placement plate 2 to move laterally along the lateral guide rail 63 via the lateral slider 64. Through the above structural design, the placement plate 2 can move smoothly along the lateral guide rail 63 under the drive of the second lateral cylinder 62, ensuring the accurate delivery of the locking pin 13.

[0050] like Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the lateral output component 3 includes a vibratory plate 31 installed at one end, and a lateral conveying plate 32 installed at the end of the vibratory plate 31. The vibratory plate 31 outputs the locking pins 13 laterally and in an orderly manner, and the lateral conveying plate 32 conveys the locking pins 13 laterally.

[0051] Specifically, to adapt to the shape of the locking pin 13, one end of the locking pin 13 is inside the L-shaped groove 323, and the other end is placed on the upper surface of the second support plate 321; this ensures that the locking pin 13 has only one degree of freedom, restricting its other degrees of freedom and ensuring the stability and accuracy of the locking pin 13 during the conveying process. Through the cooperative design of the L-shaped groove 323 and the second support plate 321, the locking pin 13 maintains the correct posture on the transverse conveying plate 32, preventing it from tilting or misaligning, thereby improving the overall conveying efficiency and reliability.

[0052] Furthermore, such as Figure 6As shown, the transverse conveyor plate 32 includes a second support plate 321 mounted at the bottom for supporting and placing the locking pin 13, and a first limiting plate 322 mounted at the top for limiting the locking pin 13. The second support plate 321 and the first limiting plate 322 are fastened together to form an L-shaped groove 323 for accommodating the locking pin 13. The depth of the L-shaped groove 323 matches the height of one end of the locking pin 13, ensuring that the locking pin 13 is securely embedded in the L-shaped groove 323 during conveying.

[0053] Furthermore, the lower part of the transverse conveyor plate 32 is equipped with a linear vibrating feeder 33 for driving the locking pin 13 to be transversely conveyed along the transverse conveyor plate 32; the end of the transverse conveyor plate 32 is equipped with a first sensing switch 34 for sensing the locking pin 13; when the locking pin 13 triggers the first sensing switch 34, the transfer component 4 obtains the position information of the locking pin 13, thereby starting to grab the locking pin 13 and subsequently transfer the locking pin 13.

[0054] like Figure 7 As shown, the transfer assembly 4 includes a support rod 41, which is mounted on the side of the placement plate 2 away from the transverse output assembly 3. The upper end of the support rod 41 is equipped with a transversely arranged first longitudinal cylinder 42 and a longitudinal moving plate 43. One end (left end) of the first longitudinal cylinder 42 is connected to one end (left end) of the longitudinal moving plate 43, and the first longitudinal cylinder 42 drives the longitudinal moving plate 43 to move in the longitudinal direction. In order to ensure the stability of the longitudinal movement, a number of longitudinal sliders are mounted on the support rod 41, and longitudinal guide rails corresponding to the longitudinal sliders are mounted on the longitudinal moving plate 43. The two work together to ensure that the longitudinal moving plate 43 moves smoothly without deviation during the movement.

[0055] Furthermore, the longitudinal moving plate 43 is equipped with a first vertical cylinder 44 and a vertical moving plate 45; the first vertical cylinder 44 and the vertical moving plate 45 are arranged vertically; the upper end of the first vertical cylinder 44 is connected to the upper end of the vertical moving plate 45, and the first vertical cylinder 44 drives the vertical moving plate 45 to move vertically back and forth, which can drive the gripping claw 48 to vertically grasp and place the locking pin 13.

[0056] Similarly, to ensure the stability of vertical movement, the longitudinal moving plate 43 is equipped with a vertical slider, and the vertical moving plate 45 is equipped with a vertical guide rail that cooperates with the vertical slider, thereby realizing the precise guidance and stable operation of the vertical moving plate 45 in the vertical direction.

[0057] In this embodiment, the locking pin 13 needs to be rotated after being gripped to adjust its angle. Specifically, as follows: Figure 5As shown, the locking pin 13 at the end of the transverse conveying plate 32 is placed longitudinally, but it is placed laterally on the placement plate 2. Therefore, the locking pin 13 needs to be rotated 90 degrees. So in this embodiment, a rotary cylinder 46 is installed at the lower end of the vertical moving plate 45. The rotary cylinder 46 will rotate the locking pin 13 by 90 degrees, so that the locking pin 13 is rotated from the longitudinal placement state to the transverse placement state.

[0058] like Figure 8 As shown, a clamping cylinder 47 is installed at the lower part of the rotary cylinder 46, and clamping claws 48 are installed on both sides of the clamping cylinder 47. An insertion piece 49 is also installed on one side of the clamping cylinder 47. The first vertical cylinder 44 drives the insertion piece 49 to insert into one end of the locking pin 13, and the clamping cylinder 47 drives the clamping claws 48 to clamp the other end of the locking pin 13.

[0059] In order to further clamp the pin 13, the inner side of the clamping claw 48 can be directly set in parallel, and when clamping the pin 13, the contact line is a vertical straight line.

[0060] In some embodiments, the inner side of the gripping claw 48 is provided with anti-slip texture, so that the contact line is a discontinuous straight line, which effectively improves the friction.

[0061] In other embodiments, an elastic pad may be provided on the inner side of the gripping claw 48. Under the action of the gripping cylinder 47, the elastic pad undergoes elastic deformation, thereby tightly fitting the surface of the locking pin 13 and further enhancing the stability and reliability of the gripping. In addition, the design of the elastic pad can also play a buffering role during the gripping process, reducing damage to the surface of the locking pin 13.

[0062] In other embodiments, the inner side of the gripping claw 48 can also be configured as an arc-shaped structure. The arc-shaped gripping claw 48 can better adapt to the outer contour of the locking pin 13 to increase the contact area during clamping, thereby improving the gripping stability and reliability.

[0063] like Figure 5 As shown, after the locking pin 13 completes rotation and clamping, it is stably transported to the designated position of the placement plate 2 by the cooperation of the insertion piece 49 and the clamping claw 48. The locking pin 13 is arranged horizontally, with one end inserted into the placement groove 22. The placement groove 22 is a U-shaped groove, and the upper part is provided with a first inclined surface 221 to guide the insertion of the locking pin 13.

[0064] Corresponding to the insert piece 49, the transverse fixing plate 21 has a first groove 211 in the middle. After the insert piece 49 is inserted into the placement groove 22, the first transverse cylinder 23 drives the transverse fixing plate 21 to extend. The first groove 211 wraps the insert piece 49 and limits the upper part of the locking pin 13 on both sides, thereby achieving a stable fixation of the locking pin 13.

[0065] In order to guide the insert 49 into the first groove 211, a second inclined surface 212 is provided on both sides of the first groove 211.

[0066] After the locking pin 13 is fixed, the transfer component 4 returns to its original position, and the conveying fixture 5 automatically conveys the water gun 1 to the assembly station.

[0067] like Figure 10 As shown, the conveying fixture 5 includes a first base plate 51, which can be driven longitudinally by a cylinder or by rollers. A placement column 52 is mounted on one side of the first base plate 51, and a support block 53 is mounted on the other side. The placement column 52 is equipped with an insertion rod 54 for insertion into the water gun 1, and the support block 53 has an arc-shaped groove 55 for accommodating the water gun 1. Figure 9 As shown, the water gun 1 is placed horizontally on the insertion rod 54 and the arc groove 55.

[0068] like Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, in order to accurately locate the position of the first base plate 51 and provide a basis for subsequent fixing and assembly, a first sensing block 521 is installed on one side of the placement column 52 and a second sensing block 522 is installed on the other side.

[0069] To limit the lateral movement of the placement plate 2, a rotation limiting block 56 is pin-connected to the second sensing block 522. When the rotation limiting block 56 rotates to the front of the triangular guide block 76, it can block the lateral movement of the placement plate 2 and limit the placement plate 2; correspondingly, the placement plate 2 is also provided with a receiving groove 29 to accommodate the front of the triangular guide block 76.

[0070] like Figure 11 As shown, the positioning component 7 includes a U-shaped base plate 71, which is fixedly connected to the worktable and does not move. One end of the U-shaped base plate 71 is equipped with a blocking cylinder 72 for blocking the first base plate 51, and the middle is equipped with a second vertical cylinder 73. The blocking cylinder 72 extends upward to block and limit the first base plate 51. The end of the second vertical cylinder 73 is equipped with a positioning plate 74, which is equipped with a plurality of insertion pins 75. The second vertical cylinder 73 drives the insertion pins 75 to insert into the corresponding through holes 57 on the first base plate 51, thereby achieving precise positioning of the first base plate 51.

[0071] like Figure 14As shown, the positioning plate 74 is equipped with a triangular guide block 76 for guiding the opening of the locking pin 13; the second vertical cylinder 73 drives the triangular guide block 76 through the through groove 77 on the first base plate 51, so that the triangular guide block 76 is in front of the placement column 52; thereby facilitating the opening of the locking pin 13 when it moves longitudinally, so that it can be smoothly inserted into the mounting grooves 12 on both sides of the water gun 1.

[0072] To vertically limit the first base plate 51, the upper sides of the U-shaped base plate 71 are provided with second limiting plates 78 for limiting the first base plate 51; the second limiting plates 78 contact the sides of the first base plate 51, rigidly limiting the first base plate 51. When the second vertical cylinder 73 drives the positioning plate 74 to move vertically upward, the first base plate 51 also tends to move upward, but due to the limiting effect of the second limiting plates 78, the first base plate 51 cannot break through the limitation of the second limiting plates 78.

[0073] In order to sense the specific position of the first base plate 51, the U-shaped base plate 71 is also provided with a second sensing switch 79 for sensing the first sensing block 521 and a third sensing switch 70 for sensing the second sensing block 522; when the first base plate 51 moves to the predetermined position, the first sensing block 521 corresponds to the second sensing switch 79, and the second sensing block 522 corresponds to the third sensing switch 70, thereby triggering the action of the pressing component 8.

[0074] like Figure 13 As shown, the pressing assembly 8 includes a support frame 81 mounted on one side of the U-shaped base plate 71. A third vertical cylinder 82 is mounted on the upper part of the support frame 81, and a pressing block 83 is mounted at the end of the third vertical cylinder 82. The lower part of the pressing block 83 is provided with a pressing groove 84 adapted to the water gun 1. The third vertical cylinder 82 drives the pressing block 83 to press the upper part of the water gun 1. One side of the pressing block 83 rotates and presses the rotation limiting block 56 on the second sensing block 522, so that the rotation limiting block 56 is in the horizontal position in front of the triangular guide block 76, limiting the placement plate 2; the rotation limiting block 56 is in the vertical position above the triangular guide block 76, and the pressing block 83 presses vertically to prevent the rotation limiting block 56 from shifting.

[0075] In order to restore the rotation limiting block 56 to its original position, a fourth vertical cylinder 91 is also installed on one side of the support frame 81. A pressing rod 92 is installed at the end of the fourth vertical cylinder 91. The fourth vertical cylinder 91 drives the pressing rod 92 to move vertically downward and press one end of the rotation limiting block 56, so that the rotation limiting block 56 rotates away from the front of the triangular guide block 76 and returns to its original position.

[0076] The operating steps of the water gun locking assembly mechanism are as follows:

[0077] Step S1: The vibratory feeder 31 outputs the locking pins 13 laterally in an orderly manner, and the transverse conveyor plate 32 conveys the locking pins 13 laterally; one end of the locking pin 13 is inside the L-shaped groove 323, and the other end is placed on the upper surface of the second support plate 321; the linear vibratory feeder 33 drives the locking pins 13 to be conveyed laterally along the transverse conveyor plate 32 until the locking pins 13 trigger the first induction switch 34, and the transfer component 4 obtains the position information of the locking pins 13, thereby starting to grab the locking pins 13 and subsequently transfer the locking pins 13; at this time, the locking pins 13 are placed longitudinally.

[0078] Step S2: The first longitudinal cylinder 42 drives the gripper 48 to move longitudinally, so that the gripper 48 is above the locking pin 13; the first vertical cylinder 44 drives the gripper 48 to move vertically downward, the insert plate 49 is inserted into one end of the locking pin 13, and the gripping cylinder 47 drives the gripper 48 to grip the other end of the locking pin 13.

[0079] Step S3: The first longitudinal cylinder 42 and the first vertical cylinder 44 drive the gripper 48 and the locking pin 13 to move longitudinally and vertically, so that they are above the placement plate 2. The rotary cylinder 46 will rotate the locking pin 13 by 90°, so that the locking pin 13 is rotated from the longitudinal placement state to the horizontal placement state.

[0080] Step S4: The first vertical cylinder 44 drives the gripper 48 and the locking pin 13 to move vertically downward. The insertion piece 49 inserts one end of the locking pin 13 into the placement groove 22. The first horizontal cylinder 23 drives the horizontal fixing plate 21 to extend. The first groove 211 wraps around the insertion piece 49 and limits the upper part of the locking pin 13 on both sides. This achieves stable placement of the locking pin 13. At this time, the locking pin 13 is placed horizontally on the placement plate 2.

[0081] Step S5: The conveying fixture 5 automatically conveys the water gun 1 to the assembly station; one end of the water gun 1 is inserted into the insertion rod 54, and the other end is placed inside the arc groove 55; the second induction switch 79 senses the first induction block 521, and the third induction switch 70 senses the second induction block 522, thereby triggering the actions of the positioning component 7 and the pressing component 8.

[0082] Step S5: The blocking cylinder 72 extends upward to block and limit the first base plate 51; the triangular guide block 76 guides the pin 13 to open and inserts laterally into both sides of the water gun 1, entering the mounting groove 12 on the water gun 1; the rotating limiting block 56 hard limits the placement plate 2 in the lateral position, preventing the placement plate 2 from moving laterally.

[0083] Step S8: The fourth vertical cylinder 91 drives the pressing rod 92 to move vertically downward, pressing one end of the rotating limiting block 56, causing the rotating limiting block 56 to rotate away from the front of the triangular guide block 76 and return to its original position.
