Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automation equipment technology, and in particular to an automated assembly line for powder silos. Background Technology

[0002] Electrophotographic imaging devices such as laser printers use removably mounted toner cartridges to supply toner for printing and copying. The toner hopper is the cavity within the toner cartridge used to store toner.

[0003] See Figure 1 The toner cartridge 11 has a toner outlet 111. A scraper 12 is attached to the toner outlet 111. Felt 13 and L-shaped sponge 14 are attached to the two side walls of the toner cartridge 11, respectively. Specifically, the side wall of the toner cartridge 11 that is adapted to be attached to the felt 13 is a curved concave surface 112.

[0004] To automate the application of felt 13, patent CN210769718U discloses a felt application device, including a felt feeding mechanism, a felt movement control mechanism, a felt gripper assembly, a felt pressing head, a powder hopper limiting head, a felt pressing head control mechanism, a first felt shaping mechanism, and a second felt shaping mechanism. The felt feeding mechanism is used to transport the felt 13, and the felt movement control mechanism controls the movement of the felt gripper assembly, so that the two felt grippers of the felt gripper assembly clamp the felt 13 for application. During feeding, the felt movement control mechanism controls the felt gripper assembly to move to the powder hopper 11. The tilting cylinder controls the two felt grippers to tilt to the arc-shaped groove of the powder hopper 11. Then, the felt pressing head control mechanism controls the felt pressing head to move, so that the felt pressing head presses the felt 13 held by the two felt grippers against the arc-shaped groove of the powder hopper 11. Then, the first shaping head presses against the felt 13 on the powder hopper 11 to perform a first shaping, and then the second shaping head presses against the felt 13 on the powder hopper 11 to perform a second shaping.

[0005] However, the two felt grippers of the aforementioned felt applicator cannot accurately apply the felt 13 to the curved concave surface 112 of the powder hopper 11. A felt pressing head is required to press the felt 13 held by the two felt grippers against the curved concave surface 112 of the powder hopper 11. A first felt shaping mechanism and a second felt shaping mechanism are also required to apply the felt 13 accurately and securely to the curved concave surface 112 of the powder hopper 11. This results in a complex structure and many parts for the felt applicator, which increases assembly production costs. Furthermore, the felt applicator has many steps and a slow cycle time, which reduces the efficiency of automated assembly production. Utility Model Content

[0006] To achieve the main objective of this utility model, it provides an automated assembly line for powder silos that is highly efficient and automated, has a simple and compact structure, reduces process steps, and ensures precise, stable, and reliable assembly. This reduces assembly production costs and improves the efficiency, precision, stability, and reliability of automated assembly production, thereby enabling the production of high-quality products.

[0007] To achieve the main objective of this utility model, an automated assembly line for powder silos is provided, comprising a conveyor line, a felt-applying device, and a felt-shaping device. The conveyor line carries and transports the powder silos to the felt-applying and felt-shaping stations. The felt-applying device is located at the felt-applying station and includes a movement control mechanism, a movable seat, two first grippers, a first clamping mechanism, a transfer control mechanism, a transfer plate, two second grippers, a second clamping mechanism, a lifting control mechanism, and a limit rod. The movement control mechanism controls the movable seat to move horizontally and vertically. The first clamping mechanisms are mounted on the movable seat and control the two first grippers to move toward or away from each other. The lifting control mechanism is set on the moving seat and controls the limit rod to move vertically. The transfer control mechanism is set on the moving seat and controls the transfer plate to move in the tilting direction. The tilting direction is set relatively to the horizontal and vertical directions. The second clamping mechanism is set on the transfer plate and controls the two second clamps to move toward or away from each other. The limit rod, the second clamp, and the first clamp are arranged in sequence in the horizontal direction. The felt shaping device is located at the felt shaping station and includes a shaping control mechanism and a felt shaping head. The shaping control mechanism controls the felt shaping head to move vertically so that the felt shaping head presses against the felt on the powder hopper located at the felt shaping station.

[0008] As can be seen from the above scheme, in the operation of the powder silo automated assembly line of this utility model, the conveyor line transports the powder silo to the felt-attaching station. The moving control mechanism of the felt-attaching device located at the felt-attaching station controls the moving seat to move the two first grippers, the first clamping mechanism, the transfer control mechanism, the transfer plate, the two second grippers, the second clamping mechanism, the lifting control mechanism, and the limiting rod in the horizontal and vertical directions to the felt feeding position. Since the felt at the felt feeding position is attached to the release paper, the lifting control mechanism controls the limiting rod to move downward in the vertical direction to press against the release paper near the felt to be fed, so as to avoid pulling the release paper when peeling the felt off the release paper and affecting the peeling. The operation proceeds as follows: The transfer control mechanism controls the transfer plate to move the second clamping mechanism and two second grippers in an inclined direction, aligning the second grippers and the first gripper in a horizontal position. Then, the first clamping mechanism controls the two first grippers to move towards each other to clamp one end of the felt on the release paper, and the second clamping mechanism controls the two second grippers to move towards each other to clamp the other end of the felt. This securely clamps both ends of the horizontally positioned felt on the release paper. Subsequently, the movement control mechanism controls the moving base to move the two first grippers, the first clamping mechanism, the transfer control mechanism, the transfer plate, the two second grippers, the second clamping mechanism, the lifting control mechanism, the limit rod, and the felt. The device moves vertically upwards, while the lifting control mechanism keeps the control limit rod moving downwards in the vertical direction, pressing against the release paper. This continues until the felt held by the two first grippers and two second grippers is peeled off the release paper. Then, the lifting control mechanism controls the control limit rod to move upwards again to reset. Afterwards, the moving control mechanism controls the moving seat to move the two first grippers, the first clamping mechanism, the transfer control mechanism, the transfer plate, the two second grippers, the second clamping mechanism, the lifting control mechanism, the limit rod, and the felt in both the horizontal and vertical directions to the powder hopper at the felt-attaching station. Subsequently, the transfer control mechanism controls the transfer plate to move the second clamping mechanism and the two second grippers in the inclined direction. The movement causes a height difference between the second and first grippers in the vertical direction, resulting in a height difference between the other end of the felt held by the two second grippers and the other end of the felt held by the two first grippers in the vertical direction. This adjusts the felt held between the second and first grippers to fit the curved concave surface of the powder hopper. Then, the movement control mechanism controls the moving seat to move the two first grippers, the first clamping mechanism, the transfer control mechanism, the transfer plate, the two second grippers, the second clamping mechanism, the lifting control mechanism, the limit rod, and the felt downward in the vertical direction. This precisely and securely attaches the felt, which fits the curved concave surface of the powder hopper, to the curved concave surface of the powder hopper.

[0009] Meanwhile, the conveyor line of this utility model transports the powder hopper with the felt pasted on from the felt pasting station to the felt shaping station. The shaping control mechanism of the felt shaping device at the felt shaping station controls the felt shaping head to move downward in the vertical direction, so that the felt shaping head presses against the felt on the powder hopper at the felt shaping station, thereby shaping the felt to be firmly pasted on the curved concave surface of the powder hopper, thereby improving the reliability of the felt pasting assembly.

[0010] Therefore, the powder silo automated assembly line of this utility model can efficiently and automatically assemble felt. The felt attaching device arranges the limiting rod, the second gripper, and the first gripper in a horizontal direction, making the structure simple and compact. It eliminates the need for multiple pressing and shaping operations, thus reducing process steps. Furthermore, the positions of the second gripper and the first gripper can be matched and adjusted, making the felt assembly precise, stable, and reliable. This reduces assembly production costs and improves the efficiency, accuracy, stability, and reliability of automated assembly production, thereby producing high-quality products.

[0011] A further solution is that the powder hopper automated assembly line also includes a first positioning device, which is located at the felt-applying station and includes a first control mechanism and a first positioning bracket. The first control mechanism controls the first positioning bracket to move vertically so that the first positioning bracket is pressed against the powder hopper at the felt-applying station.

[0012] A further proposed solution is that the powder silo automated assembly line also includes a sponge-applying device and a sponge-shaping device. The conveyor line transports the powder silo to the sponge-applying station and the sponge-shaping station. The sponge-applying station is located between the felt-shaping station and the sponge-shaping station in the conveying direction of the conveyor line. The sponge-applying device is located at the sponge-applying station and includes a motion control mechanism, a first moving plate, a second moving plate, two third grippers, a third clamping mechanism, two fourth grippers, a fourth clamping mechanism, a pre-pressure control mechanism, a pre-pressure rod, a rotary table, and a rotation control mechanism. The motion control mechanism controls the first and second moving plates to move horizontally and vertically, respectively.

The fourth gripping mechanism is located on the second moving plate and controls the two fourth grippers to move toward or away from each other. The pre-pressure control mechanism is located on the second moving plate and controls the pre-pressure rod to move in the vertical direction. The rotation control mechanism controls the rotating table to rotate around the vertical direction. The two third grippers are used to feed the sponge onto the rotating table. The two fourth grippers are used to feed the sponge on the rotating table onto the powder hopper at the sponge-sticking station. The sponge shaping device is located at the sponge shaping station and includes a shaping control mechanism and a sponge shaping head. The shaping control mechanism controls the sponge shaping head to move in the vertical direction so that the sponge shaping head presses against the sponge located on the powder hopper at the sponge shaping station.

[0013] A further solution is that the powder hopper automated assembly line also includes a second positioning device. The second positioning device is located at the sponge-applying station and includes a second control mechanism and a second positioning bracket. The second control mechanism controls the second positioning bracket to move vertically so that the second positioning bracket is pressed against the powder hopper at the sponge-applying station.

[0014] A further option is to have two sets of sponge-applying devices and two sets of sponge-shaping devices, with the two sets of sponge-applying devices located at opposite ends of the sponge-applying station in the conveying direction of the conveyor line, and the two sets of sponge-shaping devices located at opposite ends of the sponge-shaping station in the conveying direction of the conveyor line; and / or, to have two sets of felt-applying devices and two sets of felt-shaping devices, with the two sets of felt-applying devices located at opposite ends of the felt-applying station in the conveying direction of the conveyor line, and the two sets of felt-shaping devices located at opposite ends of the felt-shaping station in the conveying direction of the conveyor line.

[0015] A further proposed solution is that the automated powder silo assembly line also includes a scraper applicator and a scraper shaping device. The conveyor line transports the powder silo to the scraper applicator and the scraper shaping station. The scraper applicator is located between the sponge shaping device and the scraper shaping device in the conveyor line's transport direction. The scraper applicator is located at the scraper applicator station and includes an adjustment control mechanism, an adjustment base, a pressing cylinder, a linkage rod, a rotating base, and a vacuum suction cup. The adjustment control mechanism controls the adjustment base to move horizontally and vertically. The pressing cylinder is mounted on the adjustment base, and the linkage rod... The two ends are respectively hinged between the piston rod of the pressing cylinder and the rotating seat. The rotating seat is rotatably supported on the adjusting seat. The vacuum suction cup is set on the rotating seat. The scraper shaping device is located at the scraper shaping station and includes a pressure control mechanism, a pressure plate, a pressure strip and a pressure rod. The pressure control mechanism controls the pressure plate to move in the vertical direction. The pressure strip is set at the bottom of the pressure plate and presses against the scraper on the powder hopper located at the scraper shaping station. The pressure rod is set on the pressure plate and presses against the powder hopper located at the scraper shaping station.

[0016] A further embodiment is that the powder silo automated assembly line also includes a scraper heating device. The conveyor line transports the powder silo to the scraper heating station. The scraper heating station is located at the end of the scraper shaping station away from the scraper application station in the conveying direction of the conveyor line. The scraper heating device is located at the scraper heating station and includes a transverse control mechanism and a hot air duct. The transverse control mechanism controls the hot air duct to move in the conveying direction of the conveyor line. The air outlet of the hot air duct faces downward and is set to correspond to the scraper on the powder silo located at the scraper heating station. And / or, the powder silo automated assembly line also includes a third positioning device. The third positioning device is located at the scraper application station and includes a third control mechanism and a third positioning bracket. The third control mechanism controls the third positioning bracket to move in the vertical direction so that the third positioning bracket is pressed against the powder silo at the scraper application station.

[0017] A further proposed solution is a conveyor line comprising two tracks, two switching devices, two pushing devices, two limiting devices, and multiple tooling seats. Each tooling seat holds a powder hopper, and each tooling seat is equipped with a slider and a pushing block. The two tracks extend along the X-axis and are arranged side-by-side along the Y-axis, with the X-axis and Y-axis perpendicular to each other in the horizontal direction. The slider can slide and adapt to the tracks. The felt application station, felt shaping station, sponge application station, sponge shaping station, and scraper application station are located on one track, while the scraper shaping station and scraper heating station are located on the other track. The two switching devices are located at opposite ends of the track along the X-axis and between the two tracks along the Y-axis. Each switching device... The device includes a switching control mechanism and a switching plate. The switching control mechanism controls the switching plate to move in the Y-axis direction.

Each limiting device includes a limiting control mechanism and a limiting block. The limiting control mechanism controls the limiting block to move in the X-axis direction. The limiting block blocks on the side of the tooling seat at the other end of the track.

[0018] A further proposed solution is that the powder silo automated assembly line also includes a feeding device. The conveyor line transports the tooling seat to the feeding station, which is set on another track and is positioned opposite the felt-applying station in the Y-axis direction.

[0037] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Detailed Implementation

[0038] See Figures 2 to 17 This embodiment discloses an automated assembly line 20 for powder silos, including a conveyor line 21, a felt applicator 23, and a felt shaping device 24. The conveyor line 21 is used to carry and transport the powder silos 11 to the felt applicator station and the felt shaping station.

[0039] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the felt-applying device 23 is located at the felt-applying station and includes a movement control mechanism 231, a moving seat 232, two first grippers 236, a first clamping mechanism 235, a transfer control mechanism 237, a transfer plate 238, two second grippers 2310, a second clamping mechanism 239, a lifting control mechanism 233, and a limiting rod 234. The movement control mechanism 231 controls the moving seat 232 to move horizontally and vertically in the Z direction. The first clamping mechanism 235 is mounted on the moving seat 232 and controls the two first grippers 236. The lifting control mechanism 233 is mounted on the moving seat 232 and controls the limit rod 234 to move in the vertical direction Z. The transfer control mechanism 237 is mounted on the moving seat 232 and controls the transfer plate 238 to move in the tilt direction, which is tilted relative to the horizontal direction and the vertical direction Z. The second clamping mechanism 239 is mounted on the transfer plate 238 and controls the two second clamps 2310 to move in the direction of moving towards or away from each other. The limit rod 234, the second clamps 2310 and the first clamps 236 are arranged in sequence in the horizontal direction.

[0040] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the felt shaping device 24 is located at the felt shaping station and includes a shaping control mechanism 241 and a felt shaping head 242. The shaping control mechanism 241 controls the felt shaping head 242 to move in the vertical direction Z so that the felt shaping head 242 presses against the felt 13 on the powder hopper 11 located at the felt shaping station.

[0041] In this embodiment, during the operation of the powder hopper automated assembly line 20, the conveyor line 21 transports the powder hopper 11 to the felt-attaching station. The movement control mechanism 231 of the felt-attaching device 23 at the station controls the moving seat 232 to move the two first grippers 236, the first clamping mechanism 235, the transfer control mechanism 237, the transfer plate 238, the two second grippers 2310, the second clamping mechanism 239, the lifting control mechanism 233, and the limiting rod 234 horizontally and vertically in the Z direction to the felt feeding position. Since the felt 13 at the feeding position is attached to the release paper, the lifting control mechanism 233 controls the limiting rod 234 to move downwards in the vertical Z direction, pressing against the vicinity of the felt 13 to be fed. To prevent the release paper from being pulled along during the peeling of the felt 13 from the release paper and affecting the peeling operation, the transfer control mechanism 237 controls the transfer plate 238 to move the second clamping mechanism 239 and the two second jaws 2310 in the inclined direction, so that the second jaws 2310 and the first jaws 236 are aligned in the horizontal direction. Then, the first clamping mechanism 235 controls the two first jaws 236 to move toward each other to clamp one end of the felt 13 on the release paper, and the second clamping mechanism 239 controls the two second jaws 2310 to move toward each other to clamp the other end of the felt 13, thereby firmly clamping both ends of the felt 13, which is in a horizontal state on the release paper. Then, the movement control mechanism 231 controls... The moving seat 232 drives the two first grippers 236, the first clamping mechanism 235, the transfer control mechanism 237, the transfer plate 238, the two second grippers 2310, the second clamping mechanism 239, the lifting control mechanism 233, the limit rod 234, and the felt 13 to move upward in the vertical direction Z. At this time, the lifting control mechanism 233 keeps the limit rod 234 moving downward in the vertical direction Z and pressing it against the release paper until the felt 13 held by the two first grippers 236 and the two second grippers 2310 is peeled off from the release paper. Then, the lifting control mechanism 233 controls the limit rod 234 to move upward in the vertical direction Z and reset. After that, the moving control mechanism 231 controls the moving seat 232 to drive the two first grippers 236, the first clamping mechanism 235, the transfer control mechanism 237, the transfer plate 238, the two second grippers 2310, the second clamping mechanism 239, the lifting control mechanism 233, the limit rod 234, and the felt 13 to move upward in the vertical direction Z and reset. 36. The first clamping mechanism 235, the transfer control mechanism 237, the transfer plate 238, the two second grippers 2310, the second clamping mechanism 239, the lifting control mechanism 233, the limit rod 234, and the felt 13 move horizontally and vertically (Z) to the powder hopper 11 at the felt-applying station. Then, the transfer control mechanism 237 controls the transfer plate 238 to move the second clamping mechanism 239 and the two second grippers 2310 in an inclined direction, creating a height difference between the second grippers 2310 and the first grippers 236 in the vertical (Z) direction. This results in a height difference between the other end of the felt 13 held by the two second grippers 2310 and the other end of the felt 13 held by the two first grippers 236 in the vertical (Z) direction.The felt 13, held between the second gripper 2310 and the first gripper 236, is adjusted to fit the curved concave surface 112 of the powder hopper 11. Then, the movement control mechanism 231 controls the moving seat 232 to move the two first grippers 236, the first clamping mechanism 235, the transfer control mechanism 237, the transfer plate 238, the two second grippers 2310, the second clamping mechanism 239, the lifting control mechanism 233, the limit rod 234, and the felt 13 downward in the vertical Z direction. This ensures that the felt 13, which fits the curved concave surface 112 of the powder hopper 11, is precisely and securely attached to the curved concave surface 112 of the powder hopper 11.

[0042] Meanwhile, in this embodiment, the conveyor line 21 transports the powder hopper 11 with the felt 13 pasted on from the felt pasting station to the felt shaping station. The shaping control mechanism 241 of the felt shaping device 24 located at the felt shaping station controls the felt shaping head 242 to move downward in the vertical direction Z, so that the felt shaping head 242 presses against the felt 13 on the powder hopper 11 located at the felt shaping station, thereby shaping the felt 13 to be firmly pasted on the curved concave surface 112 of the powder hopper 11, thereby improving the reliability of the felt 13 pasting assembly.

[0043] Therefore, the powder silo automated assembly line 20 in this embodiment can efficiently and automatically assemble the felt 13. The felt attaching device 23 arranges the limiting rod 234, the second gripper 2310 and the first gripper 236 in the horizontal direction in sequence, making the structure simple and compact. It eliminates the need for multiple pressing and shaping operations, thereby reducing process steps. Furthermore, the positions of the second gripper 2310 and the first gripper 236 can be matched and adjusted, making the assembly of the felt 13 precise, stable and reliable. This reduces assembly production costs and improves the efficiency, accuracy, stability and reliability of automated assembly production, so as to assemble high-quality products.

[0044] Combination Figure 8 and Figure 9 In this embodiment, the movement control mechanism 231 is a control mechanism composed of a motor and a lead screw. In this embodiment, the first clamping mechanism 235 and the second clamping mechanism 239 are both clamping cylinders. In this embodiment, the transfer control mechanism 237 and the lifting control mechanism 233 are both piston cylinders.

[0045] To further improve the accuracy of felt 13 bonding, the powder hopper automated assembly line 20 in this embodiment also includes a first positioning device. The first positioning device is located at the felt bonding station and includes a first control mechanism 2311 and a first positioning holder 2312. The first control mechanism 2311 controls the first positioning holder 2312 to move vertically in the Z direction, so that the first positioning holder 2312 is pressed onto the powder hopper 11 at the felt bonding station. Thus, when the felt bonding device 23 performs the felt 13 bonding operation on the powder hopper 11 at the felt bonding station, the first control mechanism 2311 of the first positioning device controls the first positioning holder 2312 to move downwards in the vertical Z direction, so that the first positioning holder 2312 is pressed onto the powder hopper 11 at the felt bonding station, thereby positioning the powder hopper 11 at the felt bonding station to ensure the accuracy of felt 13 bonding. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first control mechanism 2311 is a cylinder.

[0046] To further improve the efficiency of automated assembly of powder hopper 11, the automated assembly line 20 of powder hopper in this embodiment also includes a sponge-applying device 25 and a sponge-shaping device 26. Conveyor line 21 transports powder hopper 11 to the sponge-applying station and the sponge-shaping station. The sponge-applying station is located between the felt-shaping station and the sponge-shaping station in the conveying direction of conveyor line 21. Furthermore, the sponge-applying device 25 in this embodiment is located at the sponge-applying station and includes a motion control mechanism 251, a first moving plate 252, a second moving plate 253, two third grippers 255, a third clamping mechanism 254, two fourth grippers 259, a fourth clamping mechanism 258, a pre-pressure control mechanism 256, a pre-pressure rod 257, a rotary table 2510, and a rotation control mechanism 2511. The motion control mechanism 251 controls the first moving plate 252 and the second moving plate 253 to move horizontally and vertically (Z-direction), respectively. The third clamping mechanism 254 is mounted on the first moving plate 252 and... The two third grippers 255 are controlled to move toward or away from each other. The fourth gripping mechanism 258 is disposed on the second moving plate 253 and controls the two fourth grippers 259 to move toward or away from each other. The pre-pressure control mechanism 256 is disposed on the second moving plate 253 and controls the pre-pressure rod 257 to move in the vertical direction Z. The rotation control mechanism 2511 controls the rotating table 2510 to rotate around the vertical direction Z. Moreover, the two third grippers 255 are used to feed the sponge onto the rotating table 2510, and the two fourth grippers 259 are used to feed the sponge on the rotating table 2510 onto the powder hopper 11 at the sponge bonding station. At the same time, the sponge shaping device 26 in this embodiment is located at the sponge shaping station and includes a shaping control mechanism 261 and a sponge shaping head 262. The shaping control mechanism 261 controls the sponge shaping head 262 to move in the vertical direction Z so that the sponge shaping head 262 presses against the sponge on the powder hopper 11 located at the sponge shaping station.

[0047] Thus, in this embodiment, the conveyor line 21 transports the powder hopper 11 of the shaped felt 13 from the felt shaping station to the sponge-attaching station. The motion control mechanism 251 of the sponge-attaching device 25 located at the sponge-attaching station controls the first moving plate 252 and the second moving plate 253 to move horizontally and vertically in the Z direction, respectively. This causes the first moving plate 252 to move the third clamping mechanism 254 and the two third grippers 255 to the sponge feeding position, and the second moving plate 253 to move the fourth clamping mechanism 258, the two fourth grippers 259, and the pre-... The pressure control mechanism 256 and the pre-pressure rod 257 move above the rotary table 2510. Then, the third clamping mechanism 254, located at the sponge feeding position, controls the two third grippers 255 to move toward each other to clamp the L-shaped sponge 14. At the same time, the rotation control mechanism 2511 controls the rotary table 2510 to rotate around the vertical direction Z so that the L-shaped sponge 14 on the rotary table 2510 rotates to match the pasting position on the powder hopper 11. Then, the fourth clamping mechanism 258, located at the rotary table 2510, controls the two fourth grippers 255 to move toward each other to clamp the L-shaped sponge 14. 9. Move towards each other to clamp the L-shaped sponge 14, which has been positioned on the rotary table 2510. Then, the motion control mechanism 251 controls the first moving plate 252 and the second moving plate 253 to move horizontally and vertically in the Z direction, respectively. This causes the first moving plate 252 to move the third clamping mechanism 254, the two third grippers 255, and the L-shaped sponge 14 above the rotary table 2510, so that the L-shaped sponge 14 held by the two third grippers 255 is placed on the rotary table 2510. At the same time, the second moving plate 253 moves the fourth... The clamping mechanism 258, two fourth grippers 259, pre-pressure control mechanism 256, pre-pressure rod 257, and L-shaped sponge 14 are moved to the powder hopper 11 at the sponge application station. The L-shaped sponge 14 held by the two fourth grippers 259 is placed at the application position of the powder hopper 11. Then, the pre-pressure control mechanism 256 controls the pre-pressure rod 257 to move downward in the vertical direction Z and press against the L-shaped sponge 14 at the application position of the powder hopper 11, thereby pre-pressing and firmly applying the L-shaped sponge 14 to the application position of the powder hopper 11.

[0048] Meanwhile, in this embodiment, the conveyor line 21 transports the powder hopper 11 with the pre-pressed L-shaped sponge 14 from the sponge-attaching station to the sponge-shaping station. The sample control mechanism 261 of the sponge-shaping device 26 located at the sponge-shaping station controls the sponge-shaping head 262 to move downward in the vertical direction Z, so that the sponge-shaping head 262 presses against the sponge on the powder hopper 11 located at the sponge-shaping station, thus firmly attaching the L-shaped sponge 14 to the attachment position of the powder hopper 11.

[0049] Combination Figure 10 and Figure 11In this embodiment, the motion control mechanism 251 is a control mechanism composed of a motor, a lead screw, and a cylinder. In this embodiment, the third clamping mechanism 254 and the fourth clamping mechanism 258 are both clamping cylinders. In this embodiment, the pre-pressure control mechanism 256 is a piston cylinder. In this embodiment, the rotation control mechanism 2511 is a rotary motor.

[0050] To further improve the accuracy of L-shaped sponge 14 bonding, the automated powder hopper assembly line 20 in this embodiment also includes a second positioning device. The second positioning device is located at the sponge bonding station and includes a second control mechanism 2512 and a second positioning holder 2513. The second control mechanism 2512 controls the second positioning holder 2513 to move vertically in the Z direction, so that the second positioning holder 2513 is pressed onto the powder hopper 11 at the sponge bonding station. Thus, when the sponge bonding device 25 performs the L-shaped sponge 14 bonding operation on the powder hopper 11 at the sponge bonding station, the second control mechanism 2512 of the second positioning device controls the second positioning holder 2513 to move downwards in the Z direction, so that the second positioning holder 2513 is pressed onto the powder hopper 11 at the sponge bonding station, thereby positioning the powder hopper 11 at the sponge bonding station to ensure the accuracy of L-shaped sponge 14 bonding. Specifically, in this embodiment, the second control mechanism 2512 is a cylinder.

[0051] To further improve the efficiency of automated assembly of powder hopper 11, this embodiment has two sets of sponge applicator 25 and sponge shaping device 26. The two sets of sponge applicator 25 are located at both ends of the sponge applicator station in the conveying direction of conveyor line 21, and the two sets of sponge shaping device 26 are located at both ends of the sponge shaping station in the conveying direction of conveyor line 21. In addition, this embodiment has two sets of felt applicator 23 and felt shaping device 24. The two sets of felt applicator 23 are located at both ends of the felt applicator station in the conveying direction of conveyor line 21, and the two sets of felt shaping device 24 are located at both ends of the felt shaping station in the conveying direction of conveyor line 21.

[0052] To further improve the efficiency of automated assembly of powder hopper 11, the automated assembly line 20 of powder hopper in this embodiment also includes a scraper applicator 27 and a scraper shaping device 28. Conveyor line 21 transports powder hopper 11 to the scraper applicator station and the scraper shaping station. The scraper applicator station is located between the sponge shaping device 26 and the scraper shaping device 28 in the conveying direction of conveyor line 21. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the scraper applicator 27 is located at the scraper applicator station and includes an adjustment control mechanism 271, an adjustment seat 272, a pressing cylinder 274, a linkage rod 275, a rotating seat 276, and a vacuum suction cup 273. The adjustment control mechanism 271 controls the adjustment seat 272 to move horizontally and vertically (Z-direction). The pressing cylinder 274 is mounted on the adjustment seat 272. The two ends of the moving rod 275 are respectively hinged between the piston rod 2741 of the pressing cylinder 274 and the rotating seat 276. The rotating seat 276 is rotatably supported on the adjusting seat 272. The vacuum suction cup 273 is disposed on the rotating seat 276. Moreover, in this embodiment, the scraper shaping device 28 is located at the scraper shaping station and includes a pressure control mechanism 281, a pressure plate 282, a pressure strip 283 and a pressure rod 284. The pressure control mechanism 281 controls the pressure plate 282 to move in the vertical direction Z. The pressure strip 283 is disposed at the bottom of the pressure plate 282 and presses against the scraper 12 on the powder hopper 11 located at the scraper shaping station. The pressure rod 284 is disposed on the pressure plate 282 and presses against the powder hopper 11 located at the scraper shaping station.

[0053] Thus, in this embodiment, the conveyor line 21 transports the powder hopper 11 of the shaped L-shaped sponge from the sponge shaping device 26 to the scraper application station. The adjustment control mechanism 271 of the scraper application device 27 at the scraper application station controls the adjustment seat 272 to move the pressing cylinder 274, linkage rod 275, rotating seat 276, and vacuum suction cup 273 horizontally and vertically (Z direction), so that the vacuum suction cup 273 moves to the scraper feeding position. The vacuum suction cup 273 then vacuum-adsorbs the scraper 12 at the scraper feeding position. Next, the adjustment control mechanism 271 controls the adjustment seat 272 to move the pressing cylinder 274, linkage rod 275, rotating seat 276, vacuum suction cup 273, and scraper application station. The scraper 12 moves horizontally and vertically (Z) to the powder hopper 11 at the scraper application station, so that the scraper 12 adsorbed by the vacuum suction cup 273 is placed at the bonding position of the powder hopper 11. Then, the piston rod 2741 of the pressing cylinder 274 is controlled to move downward. Since the two ends of the linkage rod 275 are respectively hinged between the piston rod 2741 of the pressing cylinder 274 and the rotating seat 276, the rotating seat 276 is rotatably supported on the adjusting seat 272. The vacuum suction cup 273 is set on the rotating seat 276, so that the vacuum suction cup 273 presses against the corresponding bonding area of ​​the scraper 12 and the bonding position of the powder hopper 11, so as to pre-press and firmly stick the scraper 12 to the bonding position of the powder hopper 11.

[0054] Meanwhile, in this embodiment, the conveyor line 21 transports the powder hopper 11 with the pre-pressed scraper 12 from the scraper application station to the scraper shaping station. The pressing control mechanism 281 of the scraper shaping device 28 at the scraper shaping station controls the pressing plate 282 to drive the pressing strip 283 and the pressing rod 284 to move downward in the vertical direction Z, so that the pressing strip 283 presses against the corresponding bonding area of ​​the scraper 12 and the powder hopper 11 at the powder hopper 11 at the scraper shaping station, and the pressing rod 284 presses against the powder hopper 11 at the scraper shaping station, thus firmly attaching the scraper 12 to the bonding position of the powder hopper 11. Since the scraper 12 has limited elastic deformation ability relative to felt and sponge, the setting of the pressing strip 283 can avoid damage to the scraper 12 during the shaping operation.

[0055] Combination Figures 12 to 14 In this embodiment, the adjustment control mechanism 271 is a control mechanism composed of a motor and a lead screw, and the pressure control mechanism 281 is a piston cylinder.

[0056] To further improve the accuracy of the scraper 12 application, the automated powder hopper assembly line 20 in this embodiment also includes a third positioning device. This third positioning device is located at the scraper 12 application station and includes a third control mechanism 277 and a third positioning bracket 278. The third control mechanism 277 controls the third positioning bracket 278 to move vertically in the Z direction, so that the third positioning bracket 278 is pressed against the powder hopper 11 at the scraper application station. Thus, when the scraper application device 27 performs the scraper 12 application operation on the powder hopper 11 at the scraper application station, the third control mechanism 277 of the third positioning device controls the third positioning bracket 278 to move downwards in the Z direction, so that the third positioning bracket 278 is pressed against the powder hopper 11 at the scraper application station, thereby positioning the powder hopper 11 at the scraper application station to ensure the accuracy of the scraper 12 application. Specifically, in this embodiment, the third control mechanism 277 is a cylinder.

The scraper heating device 29 is located at the scraper heating station and includes a transverse control mechanism 291 and a hot air duct 292. The transverse control mechanism 291 controls the hot air duct 292 to move in the conveying direction of the conveyor line 21. The air outlet of the hot air duct 292 faces downward and is correspondingly set with the scraper 12 on the powder silo 11 located at the scraper heating station. Therefore, in this embodiment, the conveyor line 21 transports the powder hopper 11 with the shaped scraper blade 12 from the scraper blade shaping station to the scraper blade heating station. The lateral movement control mechanism 291 of the scraper blade heating device 29 located at the scraper blade heating station controls the hot air duct 292 to move in the conveying direction of the conveyor line 21. The air outlet of the hot air duct 292 faces downwards and is positioned corresponding to the scraper blade 12 on the powder hopper 11 at the scraper blade heating station. This allows the hot air blown from the air outlet of the hot air duct 292 to heat the corresponding bonding area between the scraper blade 12 and the powder hopper 11, thereby eliminating the bonding stress in the corresponding bonding area and keeping the scraper blade 12 straight. This prevents wrinkling of the scraper blade 12 adhered to the powder hopper 11, thus ensuring the bonding quality of the scraper blade 12. Specifically, in this embodiment, the lateral movement control mechanism 291 is a control mechanism composed of a motor and a lead screw.

The pushing block 2132 can push the pushed block 201 at one end of the track 211 to move towards the other end of the track 211 in the X-axis direction. Each limiting device 214 includes a limiting control mechanism 2141 and a limiting block 2142. The limiting control mechanism 2141 controls the limiting block 2142 to move in the X-axis direction. The limiting block 2142 blocks the side of the tooling seat 20 at the other end of the track 211. Therefore, in this embodiment, the conveyor line 21 is arranged in a "U" shape, with a compact structure and small volume, so as to reduce the space occupied.

Specifically, in this embodiment, the switching control mechanism 2121 and the pushing control mechanism 2131 are both control mechanisms composed of a motor and a lead screw, and the limit control mechanism 2141 is a cylinder.

As the transfer control mechanism 2106 controls the transfer belt 2105 to move horizontally, the assembled powder hopper 11 is conveyed to the discharge end of the transfer belt 2105. Then, the push control mechanism 2108 controls the push rod 2107 to move perpendicular to the movement direction of the transfer belt 2105, causing the push rod 2107 to push the assembled powder hopper 11 located at the discharge end of the transfer belt 2105 out of the automated powder hopper assembly line 20 of this embodiment in a direction perpendicular to the movement direction of the transfer belt 2105.
