Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of junction boxes, and in particular to a junction box latch assembly machine. Background Technology

[0002] Concealed electrical junction boxes, also known as junction boxes, typically use self-tapping screws or L-shaped metal clips to install the two lugs on the junction box cover. Both methods have significant drawbacks: firstly, the threads are prone to stripping, especially when repeatedly removing and installing the same junction box cover; secondly, the threaded holes are easily clogged during the pre-installation process. A new type of junction box has emerged that uses a locking mechanism instead of traditional lugs, perfectly solving both problems. However, since the lugs need to be installed into the junction box for use, a junction box locking assembly machine has been developed to address this need. Utility Model Content

[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0017] Please see Figure 1-4 In this embodiment of the utility model, the wire box locking assembly machine includes a frame 5. A wire box feeding conveyor mechanism 1 is provided on one side of the frame 5 to feed wire boxes containing accessories to be installed. A locking assembly mechanism 3 is provided on one side of the feeding conveyor mechanism 1 to install locking clips onto the wire boxes. The locking assembly mechanism 3 is located above the frame 5, and an exit mechanism 4 is provided on one side of the locking assembly mechanism 3 to transport wire boxes with locking clips out. A control computer 2 is provided on one side of the frame 5 to drive and control the feeding conveyor mechanism 1, the locking assembly mechanism 3, and the exit mechanism 4. Thus, when wire boxes requiring locking clips are fed one by one into the locking assembly mechanism 3 via the feeding conveyor mechanism 1, the wire boxes with locking clips are pushed out from inside the locking assembly mechanism 3 and onto the exit mechanism 4. Finally, the exit mechanism 4 neatly pushes out rows of wire boxes with locking clips or reassembles the wire boxes before pushing them out, facilitating subsequent manual packaging.

[0018] The box-in conveying mechanism 1 includes a conveyor line 6 for transporting wire boxes, which is arranged horizontally at the top of the height adjustment frame 14. A pusher cylinder 8 for pushing wire boxes and an upper pressure cylinder 11 for pressing and limiting the wire boxes pushed by the pusher cylinder 8 are respectively arranged on both sides of the end of the conveyor line 6. A first wire box sensor 9 electrically connected to the pusher cylinder 8 is arranged on both sides of the pusher cylinder 8. The first wire box sensor 9 is horizontally mounted on the side of the end of the conveyor line 6. The first wire box sensor 9 can sense the position of the wire box, thereby driving the pusher cylinder 8 to push the wire box to the lower end of the upper pressure cylinder 11. Then, the lower pressure cylinder 11 applies pressure to limit the wire box so that the locking assembly mechanism can be used to attach the locking buckle to the wire box.

[0019] An elastic clamping seat 13 is provided at a location away from the lower end of the upper pressure cylinder 11. This elastic clamping seat 13 can elastically limit the wire box and communicate with the locking assembly mechanism 3. The elastic clamping seat 13 is located on the other side of the end of the conveyor line 6. The conveyor line 6 is also provided with a motor 10 that drives it to be transported and transmitted on the height adjustment frame 14.

[0020] The latch assembly mechanism 3 includes a latch vibratory feeder 15 mounted on the frame 5 and carrying latches. A latch carrier 19 is mounted on one side of the latch vibratory feeder 15 to support the latches being vibrated and transported. A latch pushing cylinder 16 is mounted on one side of the latch carrier 19 to push the latches. A latch sensor 18 and a nut sensor 17 are mounted between the latch carrier 19 and the latch pushing cylinder 16 to sense the latches. The nut sensor 17 detects whether there is a nut in the latch and the latch sensor 18 detects whether the latch carrier 19 is carrying a latch. The latch carrier 19, along with the latches, moves along one side of the elastic clamping seat 13, and the latch carrier 19, along with the latches, can move to the installation position of the junction box.

[0021] A locking cylinder 24 is provided on the side away from the locking carrier 19, and one end of the locking cylinder 24 drives a push rod 22. A locking moving push block 20 is elastically provided on one end of the push rod 22, and a spring 23 is elastically provided between the push rod 22 and the locking moving push block 20. A positioning block 21 is provided on the side away from the push rod 22 to limit the movement of the push rod 22. When the locking sensor 18 detects that the locking cylinder 16 has a nut, it pushes the locking moving push block 20 into the locking carrier 19. The movable push block 20 is pushed outward by the spring 23, so that the feed port of the movable push block 20 (not shown in the figure) coincides with the lock carrier 19, which makes it convenient for the lock cylinder 16 to push the lock into the movable push block 20. When the lock cylinder 24 drives the push rod 22 to push out, the spring 23 first pushes the movable push block 20 to the wire box position. Then the movable push block 20 stops moving forward due to the external force, while the push rod 22 continues to move forward and pushes the lock into the wire box until the push rod 22 hits the positioning block 21, and the lock assembly is completed.

[0022] The box ejection mechanism 4 includes a box ejection conveyor line 25 mounted on the frame 5 and located on one side of the locking assembly mechanism 3. The box ejection conveyor line 25 is interconnected with the box infeed conveyor line mechanism 1. A tray 29 for collecting and arranging wire boxes is provided on one side of the box ejection conveyor line 25. A combined cylinder 26 for pushing wire boxes equipped with locking clips is provided on the other side of the box ejection conveyor line 25. A second wire box sensor 27 is provided on both sides of the combined cylinder 26 to sense the position of the wire box and make electrical connections to it. Thus, the wire box equipped with locking clips is pushed onto the tray 29 through the cooperation between the second wire box sensor 27 and the combined cylinder 26.

[0023] An intercepting cylinder 30 is provided on one side of the swivel plate 29, and a height plate 28 is driven at the top of the intercepting cylinder 30. The height plate 28 is horizontally mounted on the swivel plate 29. A swivel plate cylinder 31 is provided on one side of the intercepting cylinder 30. The swivel plate cylinder 31 then pushes the wire box pushed to one side of the swivel plate 29 to a fixed position through the driving cooperation between the intercepting cylinder 30 and the height plate 28. The swivel plate cylinder 31 then pushes the fixed wire box onto the swivel plate 29.

[0024] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.
