Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of toy car assembly technology, specifically to a toy car assembly device. Background Technology

[0002] Toy companies are generally labor-intensive enterprises, requiring many operators to process toys. The reason why it is difficult for toy companies to automate is that, compared with the processing of daily necessities such as shoes and clothing, toys are produced in many batches with different specifications. Often, once an order is placed, it must be completed within 2-3 months. After the order is completed, the production of that model of toy is no longer carried out. Often, it takes several months to finalize the production of automated equipment by outsourcing to automated processing companies. By the time the equipment is produced, the order has often passed the delivery deadline. Therefore, most of the assembly or assembly is done manually.

[0003] Currently, most toy car tires and axles are assembled manually. For example, the gearbox is first embedded into the toy car body, then the axle is threaded through the gearbox onto the body, and finally the tire is secured to the axle. In this assembly process, it's difficult to thread the axle onto the car body and secure the tire to the axle manually. To prevent improper assembly that could cause the axle and / or tire to detach, workers typically use a rubber mallet to hammer the axle into the car body and tighten the tire onto the axle. However, this hammering process is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient. Furthermore, manual operation is prone to errors and incomplete assembly. Hammering can also damage the toy car, resulting in a high defect rate. Utility Model Content

Several material boxes are provided on the worktable for placing the gearbox, car body, tires, and assembled toy car, respectively.

[0025] Please see Figure 3-4 The top wall of the feed hopper 3 has a downwardly recessed discharge groove 31, which is used to discharge wheel axles. The side wall of the feed hopper 3 has a feed shaft hole 32 that penetrates the bottom of the discharge groove 31. The feed shaft hole 32 is coaxially arranged with the insertion hole 26 so that the pushing mechanism 4 can push the wheel axle at the bottom of the discharge groove 31 into the insertion hole 26.

[0026] Please see Figure 4 In this embodiment, the upper half of the material discharge trough 31 has a V-shaped longitudinal section, and the lower half of the material discharge trough 31 has a square longitudinal section. The connection between the upper and lower half of the material discharge trough 31 is a rounded transition to facilitate the wheel axle to slide better from the upper part of the material discharge trough 31 to its bottom. The feed shaft hole 32 has a circular or square longitudinal section, and the length of the material discharge trough 31 is wider than the length of the wheel axle to facilitate the wheel axle to slide better into the feed shaft hole 32 and to prevent the wheel axle from failing to slide to the bottom of the material discharge trough 31 due to friction between the wheel axle and the side wall of the material discharge trough 31.

[0027] Please see Figure 1The feeding mechanism 4 includes guide rails 41, mounting plate 42, cylinder fixing plate 43, first cylinder 44, and several push rods 45. There are at least two guide rails 41, which are laid parallel to each other on the top wall of the workbench 1. One end of each guide rail 41 extends to both sides of the fixture 2.

The hanging plate 53 is movably arranged on the two guide rods 52. The second cylinder 54 is installed on the side wall of the hanging plate 53. The piston rod of the second cylinder 54 is connected downward to the pressure plate 55 for pressing the vehicle body, gearbox, and tires to prevent the vehicle body, gearbox, and tires from jumping during assembly, which would prevent the wheel axle from being accurately inserted. In this embodiment, the bottom wall shape of the pressure plate 55 matches the shape of the vehicle body, gearbox, and tire, so that the pressure plate 55 can better limit the jumping of the vehicle body, gearbox, and tire; the guide rod 52 is fixedly fitted with fixing sleeves that abut against the two side walls of the hanging plate 53, and the two fixing sleeves are used to limit the movement of the hanging plate 53 on the guide rod 52.

[0031] During the assembly process, after the wheel axle is placed into the material drop trough 31, the second cylinder 54 is activated first. The second cylinder 54 drives the pressure plate 55 to move downward until the pressure plate 55 presses against the toy car. Finally, the first cylinder 44 is activated to drive the push rod 45 to push the wheel axle in the material drop trough 31 for assembly. After the assembly is completed, the second cylinder 54 drives the pressure plate 55 to move upward to reset, and then the first cylinder 44 drives the push rod 45 to move horizontally to reset.

[0032] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
