[0015] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0016] refer to Figures 1 to 3The roller shutter 100 includes a panel 110, a rubber strip 120, a first end cap 130 and a second end cap 140, etc. A rubber strip 120 is provided between two adjacent panels 110, that is, two adjacent panels 110 are connected by the rubber strip 120. The panel 110 can be made of aluminum or the like, and the rubber strip 120 can be made of rubber or the like.

[0017] The plate 110 has a first groove 1103 and a second groove 1104, and the adhesive strip 120 has a first fastening part 1201 and a second fastening part 1202. The first fastening part 1201 engages with the first groove 1103, and the second fastening part 1202 engages with the second groove 1104. When assembling the adhesive strip 120, the first fastening part 1201 connects to the first groove 1103 of one plate 110, and the second fastening part 1202 connects to the second groove 1104 of another plate 110.

[0018] A first end cap 130 is assembled on the first end face 1101 of the plate 110. A first screw hole 1105 is provided at the first end face 1101. The first end cap 130 is provided with a corresponding first through hole 1301. A first screw 150 passes through the first through hole 1301 and is screwed into the first screw hole 1105, thereby realizing the assembly of the first end cap 130.

[0019] A second end cap 140 is assembled on the second end face 1102 of the plate 110. A second screw hole 1106 is provided at the second end face 1102. The second end cap 140 is provided with a corresponding second through hole 1401. A second screw 160 passes through the second through hole 1401 and is screwed into the second screw hole 1106, thereby realizing the assembly of the second end cap 140.

[0020] The general assembly steps for roller blind 100: First, the first end cap 130 is assembled onto the first end face 1101 of the plate 110. Then, the adhesive strip 120 is inserted between the two plates 110. Finally, the second end cap 140 is assembled onto the second end face 1102 of the plate 110.

[0021] This roller blind 100 can be used on vehicles such as RVs and trucks.

[0022] refer to Figures 4 to 10 An automatic assembly machine for automobile roller shutters is used to assemble the aforementioned roller shutter 100.

[0023] The assembly machine includes a conveyor assembly 2, which includes a conveyor belt 21; Along the feeding direction (i.e. X direction) of the conveyor belt 21, there are sequentially arranged a feeding assembly 4, a positioning mechanism 5, a first assembly part 6, a second assembly part 7 and a third assembly part 8; A material placement component 3 corresponding to the feeding component 4 is provided on one side of the conveyor belt 21; Material placement component 3 is used to place plate 110; The feeding assembly 4 is used to move the plate 110 placed in the material placement assembly 3 to the conveyor belt 21, and can adjust or correct the angle of the plate 110; Positioning mechanism 5 is used to define the position of plate 110; The first assembly part 6 is used to assemble the first end cap 130 onto the first end face 1101 of the plate 110; The second assembly part 7 is used to insert the adhesive strip 120 between two adjacent plates 110; The third assembly part 8 is used to assemble the second end cap 140 onto the second end face 1102 of the plate 110; After the roller shutter 100 is assembled, it is fed to the end of the conveyor belt 21 and then unloaded.

[0024] The first assembly part 6 is located on one side of the conveyor belt 21, while the second assembly part 7 and the third assembly part 8 are both located on the other side of the conveyor belt 21. The second assembly section 7 inserts a rubber strip 120 into the second end face 1102 of the plate 110 before the second end cap 140 is assembled. As a result, since the first end face 1101 of the plate 110 has the first end cap 130 assembled, when the rubber strip 120 is inserted and when the rubber strip 120 is assembled in place, the first end cap 130 abuts against the rubber strip 120, limiting or preventing the feeding of the rubber strip 120.

[0025] refer to Figure 4 The conveying assembly 2 is located above or on top of the base 1; the conveyor belt 21 of the conveying assembly 2 achieves feeding motion, such as cyclic motion, through the cooperation of the first servo motor 22 and the rotating shaft structure, thereby driving the plate 110 to feed or move along the X direction.

[0026] refer to Figure 5 The material placement assembly 3 includes a placement groove 31 and an X-direction moving part 32, which can drive the placement groove 31 to move along the X direction; The X-axis moving part 32 includes a second servo motor 321, a first lead screw and nut structure 322, and a first guide rail 323. The output end of the second servo motor 321 is connected to the first lead screw and nut structure 322. The placement slot 31 moves or reciprocates along the X-axis under the drive of the first lead screw and nut structure 322 and the guidance of the first guide rail 323. The X-axis moving part 32 is designed to facilitate the feeding assembly 4 in smoothly holding the corresponding plate 110.

[0027] refer to Figure 7 The feeding assembly 4 includes a Y-axis moving part 41, a Z-axis moving part 42 and an angle adjustment part 43 that are sequentially driven and connected. The output end of the angle adjustment unit 43 is linked with the suction cup 44 and the vision camera 45.

[0028] Both the Y-axis moving part 41 and the Z-axis moving part 42 can be linear motors or similar structures. The angle adjustment part 43 can be a servo motor or a rotary cylinder or similar structure. The output end of the angle adjustment part 43 is linked with the carrier plate 46. A suction cup 44 is provided below the carrier plate 46. Multiple suction cups 44 can be provided, for example, two or more. A vision camera 45 is provided on one side of the carrier plate 46.

[0029] The Y-axis moving part 41 drives the suction cup 44 to move above the placement slot 31, where the suction cup 44 picks up the board 110. Then, the Y-axis moving part 41 and the Z-axis moving part 42 work together to move the board 110 above the conveyor belt 21. The vision camera 45 takes a picture of the board 110 and uses visual inspection technology to check whether the angle of the board 110 is correct and whether it meets the preset angle. If there is an angle deviation, that is, the angle of the board 110 is horizontally tilted (not perpendicular to the X-axis), the angle adjustment part 43 drives the board 110 to rotate, correcting or adjusting the angle of the board 110 before placing the board 110 on the conveyor belt 21. The vision camera 45 is connected to the processing chip, and the visual inspection technology is existing technology; it is only applied here.

[0030] refer to Figure 8 The positioning mechanism 5 includes a positioning plate 51, a movable plate 52, and a positioning telescopic cylinder 53; Positioning plate 51 and movable plate 52 are positioned opposite each other on both sides of conveyor belt 21; The movable plate 52 is connected to the output end of the positioning telescopic cylinder 53.

[0031] The positioning telescopic cylinder 53 drives the movable plate 52 to move closer to and further away from the positioning plate 51, that is, to move or reciprocate along the Y direction. When the plate 110 moves to the positioning mechanism 5, the movable plate 52 moves closer to the positioning plate 51, pushing the plates 110 to be positioned and aligned, thereby causing multiple plates 110 to be neatly arranged and fed along the X direction.

[0032] refer to Figure 5 and Figure 9 The first assembly part 6 includes a first vibrating conveyor plate 61, a first clamping cylinder 62 and a first screw assembly mechanism 63; The first vibrating conveyor 61 is used to convey the first end cap 130; the first end cap 130 is fed along the conveying channel of the first vibrating conveyor 61 to the corresponding position of the first end face 1101 of the plate 110; The first clamping cylinder 62 uses a clamping plate 110; The first screw assembly mechanism 63 is used to assemble screws and fix the first end cap 130 to the first end face 1101 of the plate 110 by screws.

[0033] When plate 110 is fed to the first assembly section 6, feeding stops, the output end of the first clamping cylinder 62 moves downward and presses against plate 110. Then, the first vibrating conveyor 61 conveys the first end cap 130 to the first end face 1101 of plate 110. Then, the first screw assembly mechanism 63 passes the first screw 150 through the first through hole 1301 of the first end cap 130 and screws it into the first screw hole 1105. After the screw assembly is completed, the output end of the first clamping cylinder 62 returns to its original position, and the conveyor belt 21 feeds plate 110 to the next station.

[0034] The first screw assembly mechanism 63 includes a first position adjustment mechanism 633, a second position adjustment mechanism 634, a third servo motor 632, and a screw assembly head 631 that are sequentially driven and connected.

[0035] The first position adjustment mechanism 633 includes a fourth servo motor 6331, which drives the second position adjustment mechanism 634 to move along the X direction through a screw nut and guide rail cooperation structure.

[0036] The second position adjustment mechanism 634 includes a fifth servo motor 6341, which drives the third servo motor 632 to move along the Y direction through a screw nut and guide rail cooperation structure.

[0037] The third servo motor 632 drives the screw assembly head 631 to rotate, and the screw assembly head 631 is used to place screws.

[0038] The screw assembly head 631 of the first screw assembly mechanism 63 is capable of multi-dimensional movement to achieve screw assembly.

[0039] Among them, two or more first vibrating conveyor plates 61 can be set. When two specifications of roller blinds 100 need to be assembled, different first vibrating conveyor plates 61 can store different first end caps 130, thus making it more convenient to assemble and produce roller blinds 100 of multiple specifications.

[0040] refer to Figure 10 The second assembly section 7 includes a feeding shaft 71, a pushing mechanism 72, a guide block 73, and a cutter 74; The feeding shaft 71 is used to wind up the rubber strip 120, that is, the rubber strip 120 is stored around the feeding shaft 71; The pushing mechanism 72 is used to drive the adhesive strip 120 to move along the Y direction, causing the adhesive strip 120 to be inserted into the board body 110; The guide block 73 is provided with a guide groove 731 that can accommodate the adhesive strip 120. The guide block 73 is located near the second end face 1102 of the plate body 110. The guide block 73 ensures that the adhesive strip 120 can be smoothly inserted into the plate body 110 and ensures that the adhesive strip 120 moves smoothly. The cutter 74 is used to cut the adhesive strip 120.

[0041] When the board 110 is fed to the second assembly section 7, the feeding stops, and the pushing mechanism 72 drives the adhesive strip 120 to move. The adhesive strip 120 passes through the guide groove 731 and is inserted into the board 110. For example, the first buckle 1201 of the adhesive strip 120 is inserted into the first groove 1103 of one board 110, and the second buckle 1202 of the adhesive strip 120 is inserted into the second groove 1104 of another board 110, thereby inserting the adhesive strip 120 between two adjacent boards 110. When the adhesive strip 120 is inserted in place, that is, when one end of the adhesive strip 120 abuts against or approaches the first end cap 130, the cutter 74 cuts the adhesive strip 120. Of course, the cut surface of the adhesive strip 120 should be as flush as possible with the second end face 1102 of the board 110 to facilitate the subsequent assembly of the second end cap 140. After the adhesive strip 120 is assembled, the conveyor belt 21 feeds the board 110 to the next station.

[0042] refer to Figure 10 The pushing mechanism 72 includes a first roller 721, a second roller 722 and a sixth servo motor 723; The first roller 721 is positioned above the second roller 722, and the first roller 721 is connected to the drive of the sixth servo motor 723. The first roller 721 and the second roller 722 clamp the adhesive strip 120, thereby driving the adhesive strip 120 to move.

[0043] The cutter 74 is driven by a servo motor and can move in the Z direction via a lifting cylinder or in the X direction via a horizontal cylinder. Thus, after the adhesive strip 120 is inserted into place, the cutter 74 can approach the adhesive strip 120 and cut it.

[0044] refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The third assembly section 8 includes a second vibrating conveyor plate 81, a second clamping cylinder 82, and a second screw assembly mechanism 83; The second vibrating conveyor plate 81 is used to convey the second end cap 140; The second clamping cylinder 82 uses a clamping plate 110; The second screw assembly mechanism 83 is used to assemble screws and fix the second end cap 140 to the second end face 1102 of the plate 110 by screws.

[0045] When plate 110 is fed to the third assembly section 8, feeding stops, the output end of the second clamping cylinder 82 moves downward and clamps plate 110. Then, the second vibrating conveyor 81 conveys the second end cap 140 to the second end face 1102 of plate 110. Then, the second screw assembly mechanism 83 passes the second screw 160 through the second through hole 1401 of the second end cap 140 and screws it into the second screw hole 1106. After the screw assembly is completed, the output end of the second clamping cylinder 82 returns to its original position, and the conveyor belt 21 feeds plate 110 to the next station.

[0046] The structure of the third assembly part 8 is basically the same as or similar to that of the first assembly part 6.

[0047] Working principle: The board 110 is placed in the placement slot 31 of the material placement assembly 3. The feeding assembly 4 moves the board 110 to the conveyor belt 21 and corrects and adjusts the angle. The conveyor belt 21 feeds the board 110 to the positioning mechanism 5. The positioning mechanism 5 positions the board 110, making the board 110 neatly arranged. Then, the conveyor belt 21 feeds the board 110 to the first assembly part 6. The first assembly part 6 assembles the first end cap 130 onto the first end face 1101 of the board 110. Then, the conveyor belt 21 feeds the board 110 to the second assembly part 7. The second assembly part 7 inserts the adhesive strip 120 between two adjacent boards 110. Then, the conveyor belt 21 feeds the board 110 to the third assembly part 8. The third assembly part 8 assembles the second end cap 140 onto the second end face 1102 of the board 110, thereby completing the assembly of the roller shutter 100, realizing semi-automatic or automatic assembly, and improving work efficiency.

[0048] The above description only discloses some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
