[0030] The buffer block assembly device provided by this utility model, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the system includes a frame 10 and a product positioning mechanism 20, a buffer block picking mechanism 30, a buffer block positioning mechanism 40, and a buffer block pressing mechanism 50 mounted on the frame 10. The mechanisms on the frame 10 form a cooperative working structure. Specifically:

[0031] The product positioning mechanism 20 is used to fix the product 01 to be assembled;

[0032] The buffer block picking mechanism 30 includes a picking gripper 31, which picks up the buffer block 02 from the feeding point (such as in a flexible vibrating plate) and transfers it to the buffer block positioning mechanism 40 for preliminary positioning.

[0033] The buffer block positioning mechanism 40 includes a positioning gripper 41 and an assembly guide block 42. The positioning gripper 41 grips the buffer block 02 and performs secondary positioning.

[0034] The buffer block pressing mechanism 50 presses the buffer block 02, after secondary positioning, into the product 01 to be assembled along the assembly guide block 42, thus completing the assembly of the buffer block 02.

[0035] This utility model utilizes the buffer block picking mechanism 30 for primary positioning and the buffer block positioning mechanism 40 for secondary positioning, thereby effectively reducing the accuracy requirements for the picking and placing positions of the buffer block 02, absorbing the positional errors during the placing process, thus improving the assembly yield of the buffer block 02 and meeting the high-efficiency production needs of the production line.

[0036] In some embodiments, please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 2 The product positioning mechanism 20 includes a product positioning block 21 and an elastic pressure block (not shown). The product 01 to be assembled is inserted into the product positioning block 21 and pressed firmly by the elastic pressure block. The two work together to form a clamping and positioning mechanism for the product 01 to be assembled. In some embodiments, the elastic pressure blocks are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the product positioning block 21, and the elastic pressure blocks provide elastic clamping force through built-in springs, which ensures that the product 01 to be assembled will not move during the assembly process, and will not cause damage to the product 01 to be assembled due to rigid contact.

[0037] In some embodiments, the product positioning mechanism 20 further includes a product sensor (not shown), which is mounted on the frame 10 with its sensing end facing the product 01 to be assembled, to ensure accurate detection of whether the product 01 to be assembled is in place.

[0038] In some embodiments, please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The buffer block picking mechanism 30 also includes a gripper cylinder 32, which drives the picking gripper 31 to open and close and completes the movement of the picking gripper 31. This process has low requirements for the positioning of the buffer block 02.

[0039] In some embodiments, the gripping surfaces of the picking claw 31 and the positioning claw 41 are provided with arc-shaped grooves that are adapted to the outer contour of the buffer block 02, so that the buffer block 02 can be positioned during the gripping process, thereby improving the stability of the gripping process; in some embodiments, the inner side of the arc-shaped grooves of the picking claw 31 and the positioning claw 41 is also provided with a rubber anti-slip layer to prevent the buffer block 02 from slipping or shifting during the gripping process.

[0040] In some embodiments, please refer to the following: Figure 3The buffer block positioning mechanism 40 also includes a secondary positioning cylinder 43. The output end of the secondary positioning cylinder 43 is connected to the positioning gripper 41 and drives the positioning gripper 41 to open and close. The secondary positioning cylinder 43 drives the positioning gripper 41 to close, thereby performing secondary positioning on the buffer block 02 and correcting the position error generated during the feeding process.

[0041] In some embodiments, please refer to the following: Figure 4 The buffer block pressing mechanism 50 includes a moving cylinder 51, a moving mechanism 52, a pressing cylinder 53, a lifting mechanism 54, and a pressing rod 55. The moving cylinder 51 drives the moving mechanism 52 to move laterally, thereby adjusting the pressing position. The pressing cylinder 53 is mounted on the moving mechanism 52 and moves laterally synchronously with the moving mechanism 52. In this embodiment, the moving mechanism 52 can adopt a linear guide rail slider structure to ensure the smoothness of the lateral movement of the pressing cylinder 53. The pressing cylinder 53 drives the lifting mechanism 54 to move vertically, and the pressing height can be adjusted by the pressing cylinder 53 to adapt to products of different specifications. The end of the lifting mechanism 54 is provided with a pressing rod 55 that matches the top surface of the buffer block 02 to avoid uneven force on the buffer block 02 during pressing.

[0042] In summary, the buffer block assembly device provided by this utility model includes a frame 10 and a product positioning mechanism 20, a buffer block picking mechanism 30, a buffer block positioning mechanism 40, and a buffer block pressing mechanism 50 mounted on the frame 10. The product positioning mechanism 20 is used to fix the product 01 to be assembled. The buffer block picking mechanism 30 includes a picking claw 31, which picks up the buffer block 02 from the feeding point and transfers it to the buffer block positioning mechanism 40. The buffer block positioning mechanism 40 includes a positioning claw 41 and an assembly guide block 42, which grips the buffer block 02 and performs secondary positioning. The buffer block pressing mechanism 50 presses the secondary positioned buffer block 02 into the product 01 to be assembled along the assembly guide block 42, thus completing the assembly of the buffer block 02. This utility model utilizes the buffer block picking mechanism 30 for primary positioning and the buffer block positioning mechanism 40 for secondary positioning, thereby effectively reducing the accuracy requirements for the picking and placing positions of the buffer block 02, absorbing the positional errors during the placing process, thus improving the assembly yield of the buffer block 02 and meeting the high-efficiency production needs of the production line.
