[0025] Example
[0026] Reference Figure 1-4 This is an embodiment of the present invention, which provides a quick-assembly snap-fit structural component, including:
[0027] The support assembly 100 includes a base 101, a bracket 102 fixedly connected to the end of the base 101, a support platform 103 fixedly connected to the end of the bracket 102, and an operation panel 104 fixedly connected to the middle side wall of the support platform 103.
[0028] The assembly component 200 includes a positioning block 201 fixedly connected to the end of the support platform 103, an outer locking block 202 slidably connected to the middle of the slide groove on the side wall of the positioning block 201, an inner cylinder 203 fixedly connected to the side wall of the support platform 103, and an inner locking block 204 adapted to be installed at the end of the output shaft of the inner cylinder 203. The inner locking block 204 and the outer locking block 202 have grooves at their ends for cooperation.
[0029] The base 101 serves as the fundamental support for the entire device, ensuring stability during assembly. The bracket 102 is vertically fixed to the end of the base 101, enhancing the overall rigidity of the support assembly. The support platform 103 is horizontally fixed to the top of the bracket 102, providing a stable working platform for the assembly assembly 200. The operation panel 104 is integrated into the middle side wall of the support platform 103 and can be equipped with an LCD screen and touch control buttons as needed, facilitating snap-fit assembly operations in conjunction with control equipment. The positioning block 201 is fixed to the end of the support platform 103 to limit the snap-fit parts. The outer snap-fit block 202 is slidably connected to the sliding groove on the side wall of the positioning block 201 via a slider, allowing for linear reciprocating motion along the groove, adapting to the snap-fit assembly of parts of different specifications. The inner cylinder 203 is fixed to the side wall of the support platform 103, and its output shaft end is fitted with an inner snap-fit block 204 to drive the inner snap-fit block 204 to perform linear reciprocating motion.
[0030] Specifically, an outer cylinder 205 is fixedly connected to the middle side wall of the positioning block 201, and the output shaft end of the outer cylinder 205 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the outer locking block 202.
[0031] The outer cylinder 205 drives the outer locking block 202 to reciprocate within the slide groove, enabling precise position control of the outer locking block 202. The inner cylinder 203 works in conjunction with the outer cylinder 205 to achieve precise clamping and positioning of the snap-fit parts.
[0032] Furthermore, a limiting plate 206 is bolted to the end sidewall of the outer locking block 202, and the end of the limiting plate 206 extends above the outer locking block 202.
[0033] The limiting plate 206 is fixed to the end side wall of the outer latch 202 by bolts, and its end extends above the outer latch 202. It is used to limit the latching parts, prevent the parts from shifting during assembly, and improve assembly accuracy and stability.
[0034] Furthermore, the assembly assembly 200 also includes a support block 207 fixedly connected to the side wall of the support platform 103, an adjusting cylinder 208 fixedly connected to the upper end of the support block 207, and an adjusting block 209 fixedly connected to the end of the output shaft of the adjusting cylinder 208. The adjusting block 209 extends to the end side wall of the inner locking block 204 and the outer locking block 202.
[0035] The support block 207 is fixed to the side wall of the support platform 103, providing support for the adjusting cylinder 208. The support block 207 adopts a triangular reinforced structure design, improving the stability of the support for the adjusting cylinder 208. The adjusting cylinder 208 is fixed to the upper end of the support block 207, and its output shaft end is fixedly connected to an adjusting block 209, used for fine-tuning the assembly position of the snap-fit parts. The adjusting cylinder 208 adjusts the position of the adjusting block 209 according to actual assembly requirements.
[0036] Preferably, the assembly assembly 200 further includes a fixed plate 210 fixedly connected to the middle of the support platform 103, a connecting rod 211 hinged to the end side wall of the fixed plate 210, and a pressure block 212 fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod 211. The end of the pressure block 212 extends above the inner locking block 204 and the outer locking block 202. A pressing cylinder 213 is fixedly connected to the middle of the fixed plate 210. The end of the output shaft of the pressing cylinder 213 is hinged to the end of the connecting rod 211. The side wall of the fixed plate 210 is provided with a clearance hole for use with the output shaft of the pressing cylinder 213. The end of the output shaft of the pressing cylinder 213 is inserted into the inside of the clearance hole of the side wall of the fixed plate 210, and the diameter of the connecting rod 211 is larger than the clearance hole of the side wall of the fixed plate 210.
[0037] The connecting rod 211 works in conjunction with the pressing cylinder 213 to press the snap-fit parts together. The pressing cylinder 213 drives the connecting rod 211 to rotate around the hinge point, causing the pressure block 212 to press the snap-fit parts together, ensuring a tight connection. A clearance hole is provided on the side wall of the fixed plate 210, working in conjunction with the output shaft of the pressing cylinder 213 to provide space for its movement. The diameter of the connecting rod 211 is larger than the diameter of the clearance hole, ensuring that the connecting rod 211 does not interfere with the fixed plate 210 during movement.
[0038] During operation, after the equipment is started, each cylinder is in its initial position, the outer locking block 202 and the inner locking block 204 are in a separated state, and the adjusting block 209 and the pressure block 212 are in a high position. The snap-fit part to be assembled is placed on the positioning block 201, and the part is initially positioned by the positioning block 201. The operation panel 104 issues a command, and the outer cylinder 205 and the inner cylinder 203 are started simultaneously. The outer cylinder 205 drives the outer locking block 202 to move inward along the slide groove of the positioning block 201, and the inner cylinder 203 drives the inner locking block 204 to move outward, until the outer locking block 202 and the inner locking block 204 are tightly engaged with the snap-fit part through the grooves at their ends, achieving precise clamping and positioning of the part.
[0039] Based on actual assembly requirements, the operation panel 104 issues a command to activate the adjusting cylinder 208, driving the adjusting block 209 to move to the end sidewalls of the inner locking block 204 and the outer locking block 202, fine-tuning the assembly position of the snap-fit parts to ensure assembly accuracy. After the position fine-tuning is completed, the operation panel 104 issues a command to activate the pressing cylinder 213, whose output shaft pushes the connecting rod 211 to rotate around the hinge point, causing the pressing block 212 to move downwards, pressing the snap-fit parts together to ensure a tight connection. After the pressing action is completed, each cylinder returns to its initial position in reverse order, the outer locking block 202 and the inner locking block 204 separate, the pressing block 212 and the adjusting block 209 rise to the high position, and the assembled snap-fit parts are removed, completing one assembly operation.
[0040] In summary, this quick-assembly snap-fit structure utilizes automated control technology. Through the coordinated operation of various cylinders, it achieves rapid positioning, clamping, and pressing of the snap-fit parts, improving assembly efficiency and shortening the production cycle. The precise design and coordination of the positioning block 201, outer snap-fit block 202, inner snap-fit block 204, and adjusting block 209 ensure the assembly accuracy of the snap-fit parts. Simultaneously, the combined design of the pressing cylinder 213 and connecting rod 211 guarantees the uniformity and stability of the pressing force, further improving assembly quality. It reduces direct contact between operators and moving parts, lowers operational risks, and improves the safety of equipment use.
