[0002] In the electronics manufacturing, home appliance, wire harness, and other processing industries, insulating dust caps are required on the ends of electronic component plugs before packaging and shipment to prevent dust and foreign objects from entering the sockets. Currently, this process still relies on manual operation, with workers manually picking dust caps from a material box and placing them on the plugs. Manual operation is not only inefficient, but also makes it difficult to guarantee the depth, angle, and consistency of the cap application, easily leading to defects such as missing caps or misalignment. Furthermore, the repetitive nature of this work causes operator fatigue, and labor costs are high.

[0003] Some companies have tried using industrial robots with simple fixtures to replace manual labor. However, ordinary industrial robots have problems such as insufficient flexibility, high deployment costs, and safety requirements.

[0027] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0028] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0029] Example 1, as Figure 1-7As shown, a novel automatic dust cap attaching device includes a frame assembly 1, which serves as the base and skeleton of the device, integrating and installing other modules. It provides standardized installation interfaces for each component, facilitating assembly, debugging, and maintenance. The frame assembly 1 is equipped with a vibratory feeder mechanism 2 and a material distribution mechanism 3. The vibratory feeder mechanism 2 enables automatic, continuous, and orderly feeding of dust caps. The material distribution mechanism 3 receives dust caps from the vibratory feeder mechanism 2 and performs precise positioning and isolation, providing only one dust cap to be grabbed at a time.

[0030] A long-side unidirectional conveyor 4 is installed at the rear of the frame assembly 1, continuously transporting workpieces to the working area. Four-sided alignment mechanisms 5 are installed on both sides of the long-side unidirectional conveyor 4 to perform alignment operations on the workpieces. A threshold baffle 6 is placed at the end of the long-side unidirectional conveyor 4 to block the workpiece from advancing and stop it at the working position. A camera light source 73 mechanism 7 is installed at the top edge of the frame assembly 1, using machine vision to accurately position and inspect dust caps and plug assemblies on the assembly line. A robot component 8 is installed at the top of the frame assembly 1, with a pneumatic gripper 9 installed at its end. The robot component 8 and the pneumatic gripper 9 perform gripping and cap-applying actions.

[0031] The frame assembly 1 houses the control cabinet 10, which is electrically connected to the vibratory feeder mechanism 2, camera light source mechanism 73, material sorting mechanism 3, robot component 8, long-side unidirectional conveyor 4, four-sided alignment mechanism 5, and pneumatic gripper device 9. The control cabinet 10 integrates electrical components such as a PLC, motion controller, and machine vision processor, issuing commands to the actuators including the vibratory feeder mechanism 2, camera light source mechanism 73, material sorting mechanism 3, robot component 8, long-side unidirectional conveyor 4, four-sided alignment mechanism 5, and pneumatic gripper device 9. This ensures seamless, efficient, and reliable operation of the entire process, including feeding, sorting, positioning, visual recognition, gripping, capping, and outflow.

[0032] The specific design of the aforementioned key components will be discussed in detail below:

[0033] The vibratory feeder mechanism 2 includes a circular vibratory feeder 21, with a linear vibratory feeder 22 connected to the discharge port of the circular vibratory feeder 21. A soundproof cover 23 covers the outer side of the circular vibratory feeder 21. The circular vibratory feeder 21 uses electromagnetic vibration to orient and sort the randomly piled dust caps and convey them to the discharge port. The linear vibratory feeder receives the dust caps from the circular vibratory feeder 21 and smoothly and in a single row conveys them to the sorting mechanism 3 through linear vibration, preparing them for subsequent gripping. The soundproof cover 23 effectively reduces operating noise and improves the working environment.

[0034] The material distribution mechanism 3 includes a material distribution base 31, on which a material distribution groove 32 is formed that connects to the end of the vibrating disc 22. A material blocking cylinder 33 is provided at the end of the material distribution groove 32. The shape of the material distribution groove 32 matches the shape of the dust cap, serving as a guide and limiting mechanism, so that the dust cap stops at the gripping position in a preset posture. The material blocking cylinder 33, through its telescopic movement, precisely blocks or releases the dust cap, providing the robot component 8 with a stable and singular gripping target.

[0035] The camera light source mechanism 73 includes a camera bracket 71 fixed to the frame assembly 1. A fixing plate 72 is mounted on the camera bracket 71, and an industrial camera is mounted on the fixing plate 72 via a camera fixing piece. A light source 73 is disposed on the top of the camera bracket 71. The light source 73 is a double-row strip light source, symmetrically arranged around the lens of the industrial camera. The industrial camera acquires high-quality images. The light source 73 provides stable, uniform, and shadowless illumination, highlighting the features of the target object, suppressing ambient light interference, and ensuring image recognition accuracy and stability. The double-row strip light source, arranged symmetrically, can effectively outline the edge contour of the dust cap or plug. By processing the image, the control cabinet 10 can calculate the coordinates and angular deviations of the dust cap and plug, and send the compensation information to the robot component 8 to guide precise cap application.

[0036] The robot component 8 is a six-axis collaborative robot, fixed to the top crossbeam of the frame assembly 1. Compared to traditional industrial robots, the six-axis collaborative robot offers advantages such as high flexibility, ease of programming, and rapid deployment. It can work in collaboration with humans, is more compact, and is safer. The pneumatic gripper device 9 includes pneumatic fingers connected to the end flange of the robot component 8. The pneumatic fingers are connected to grippers, and the inner side of the gripper's end has a contoured groove that matches the shape of the dust cap. The pneumatic fingers provide the driving force for gripping, with fast response and simple control. The contoured groove at the end of the gripper is customized according to the shape of the dust cap, enabling surface contact or enveloping gripping and improving gripping stability.

[0037] The four-sided alignment mechanism 5 includes alignment components 51 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the long-side unidirectional conveyor 4. The alignment components 51 include a fixed guide plate 52 and a movable guide plate 53 driven by an alignment cylinder. The fixed guide plate 52 and the movable guide plate 53 form a gradually narrowing channel. The movable guide plate 53 driven by the alignment cylinder can clamp and center the workpiece, eliminating positional and angular deviations generated during the conveying process, and ensuring that the position of the plug is uniform each time the cap is put on.

[0038] The bottom of the frame assembly 1 is equipped with braked casters 11. These braked casters enable the frame assembly 1 to move quickly within the workshop according to the needs of different production lines. After positioning, the brakes ensure stability during operation. The frame assembly 1 also includes a control box and display screen that communicate with the control cabinet 10. These provide a user-friendly interface for equipment start / stop, parameter setting, status monitoring, and fault alarms, facilitating daily use and maintenance by operators.
