Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of light bulb manufacturing technology, and more specifically, to an assembly device for light bulb manufacturing. Background Technology

[0002] A light bulb is a device that converts electrical energy into light energy. Light bulbs come in various types, including incandescent, fluorescent, and LED bulbs, and are widely used in homes, businesses, and industries. During the bulb manufacturing process, after processing the bulb's base, lampshade, and other components, these components need to be assembled to form a complete light bulb.

[0003] In existing assembly equipment, the lamp holder is transported to the loading area for lamp electrode and lamp cover assembly. Each component requires a corresponding transport line with positioning mechanisms to position the lamp holder, lamp electrode, and lamp cover. Three components require three transport lines and three positioning mechanisms, resulting in a complex structure and a large footprint. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an assembly equipment for light bulb production that has a simple structure and a small footprint.

[0005] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.

[0006] An assembly apparatus for light bulb production, comprising: An assembly device having a support platform for holding light bulbs; The rotating device has a turntable that can be rotatably disposed on one side of the support platform; The clamping device includes a first clamping mechanism, a second clamping mechanism, and a third clamping mechanism arranged in a ring at intervals on the turntable; the first clamping mechanism is used to clamp and deliver the lamp holder to the support platform; the second clamping mechanism is used to clamp and deliver the lamp electrode to the support platform; and the third clamping mechanism is used to clamp and deliver the lamp cover to the support platform; and A feeding device is disposed opposite to the clamping device and is used to feed the bulb component to the clamping device.

[0007] The technical solution provided in this utility model has at least the following technical effects: This assembly equipment includes an assembly unit and a rotating device located on one side of the assembly unit. A clamping device is mounted on the turntable of the rotating device. This clamping device uses a first clamping mechanism, a second clamping mechanism, and a third clamping mechanism to grip components such as lamp holders, lamp electrodes, and lamp covers, and then transports them to the assembly unit via the rotating device for assembly. Because the lamp holders, lamp electrodes, and lamp covers are assembled on a single support platform, multiple conveyor lines and positioning mechanisms are eliminated, simplifying the equipment structure and reducing its footprint. The equipment also includes a feeding device that delivers parts to the first, second, and third clamping mechanisms, eliminating the need for manual feeding, reducing labor intensity, and lowering labor costs.

[0008] In some embodiments, the assembly apparatus further includes: A fixing fixture, disposed on the support platform, is used to fix the lamp holder; and A robotic arm, mounted on the support platform and located on one side of the fixed fixture, is used to assemble light bulbs.

[0009] In some embodiments, the rotating device includes: The platform body is located on one side of the support platform; A rotary driver, mounted on the stage body and with its output connected to the turntable, is used to drive the turntable to rotate; and Three support frames are mounted on the turntable and connected to the output end of the rotary driver for mounting the clamping device. The rotary driver drives the turntable and the support frame on the turntable to rotate, which in turn drives the clamping device to rotate.

[0010] In some embodiments, the three support frames are arranged opposite each other above the feeding device; the first clamping mechanism, the second clamping mechanism and the third clamping mechanism are arranged one-to-one on the three support frames.

[0011] In some embodiments, the first clamping mechanism includes: A clamping element, disposed on the support frame and located above the fixing fixture, is used to clamp the lamp holder; and A lifting component is disposed between the clamping component and the support frame, and its output end is connected to the clamping component to drive the clamping component to perform lifting and lowering movements.

[0012] In some embodiments, the second clamping mechanism and the third clamping mechanism have the same structure as the first clamping mechanism.

[0013] In some embodiments, the feeding device includes: A lifting mechanism is disposed on one side of the assembly device along the rotation direction of the rotating device and opposite to the third clamping mechanism, for conveying the lampshade to the third clamping mechanism; A vibrating table, disposed on one side of the lifting mechanism along the rotation direction of the rotating device and opposite to the second clamping mechanism, is used to feed lamp electrodes to the second clamping mechanism; and A rotating mechanism is disposed on one side of the vibration table along the rotation direction of the rotating device and opposite to the first clamping mechanism, for conveying lamp holders to the first clamping mechanism.

[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0017] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2This utility model provides an assembly device for light bulb production, comprising: an assembly device 10 having a support platform 11 for carrying light bulbs; a rotating device 20 having a turntable 24 rotatably disposed on one side of the support platform 11; a clamping device 30 including a first clamping mechanism 31, a second clamping mechanism 32, and a third clamping mechanism 33 arranged in a ring on the turntable 24; the first clamping mechanism 31 for clamping and conveying the lamp holder to the support platform 11; the second clamping mechanism 32 for clamping and conveying the lamp electrode to the support platform 11; and the third clamping mechanism 33 for clamping and conveying the lamp cover to the support platform 11; and a feeding device 40, disposed opposite to the clamping device 30, for conveying light bulb components to the clamping device 30.

[0018] Understandably, the assembly device 10 is a combination assembly for assembling the various components of the bulb. For example, it could be a platform with a robotic arm mounted on it, capable of positioning, flipping, and tightening. Assembly can be performed by the robotic arm or manually, but is not limited to these methods. The rotating device 20 is the component that drives the clamping device 30 to rotate. For example, it could be an electrically driven rotating device 20 or a pressure-driven rotating device 20, but is not limited to these methods. The first clamping mechanism 31 is the component that clamps and fixes the lamp holder. For example, it could be a three-jaw chuck clamping mechanism or a vacuum suction clamping mechanism, but is not limited to these methods. The second clamping mechanism 32 and the third clamping mechanism 33 have the same function as the first clamping mechanism 31, both being components used to clamp parts. The structures of the second clamping mechanism 32 and the third clamping mechanism 33 can be the same as the first clamping mechanism 31, for example, both being chuck clamping mechanisms. Alternatively, their structures can differ, such as the first clamping mechanism 31 being a chuck clamping mechanism, and the second clamping mechanism 32 and the third clamping mechanism 33 being vacuum adsorption clamping mechanisms, etc., but are not limited to these. The feeding device 40 is a component that arranges and conveys the lamp holder, lamp electrode, and lamp cover to below the first clamping mechanism 31, the second clamping mechanism 32, and the third clamping mechanism 33. For example, it can be a conveyor belt feeding mechanism, or a vibrating table feeding mechanism, etc., but is not limited to these.

[0019] As can be seen from the above, the assembly equipment has a clamping device 30 set on the rotating device 20. The first clamping mechanism 31, the second clamping mechanism 32 and the third clamping mechanism 33 in the clamping device 30 respectively clamp the lamp holder, lamp electrode and lamp cover and other components and transport them to the assembly device 10 through the rotating device 20 for assembly. Since the lamp holder, lamp electrode and lamp cover are assembled in one assembly device 10, multiple transport lines and positioning mechanisms are not required. Therefore, the equipment has a simple structure and occupies a small area.

[0020] Optionally, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1The assembly device 10 includes: a fixing fixture 12, which is mounted on the support platform 11 for fixing the lamp holder; and a robotic arm, which is mounted on the support platform 11 and located on one side of the fixing fixture 12 for assisting in assembling the light bulb.

[0021] Understandably, the fixing fixture 12 is a component for fixing the lamp holder. For example, it could be a contoured groove fixing fixture 12, or a magnetic fixing fixture 12, but it is not limited to these. Since the lamp holder needs to be flipped during bulb assembly, a magnetic fixing fixture 12 is more convenient for processing; therefore, the latter fixing method is recommended. The robotic arm has the functions of flipping the lamp holder, positioning, and tightening the lamp electrode and lamp cover. For example, it could have a gripper and a rotating mechanism added to the robotic arm, with the gripper connected to the output end of the rotating mechanism, and a flexible clamping block on one side of the gripper to flexibly fix the lamp electrode and prevent it from sliding. Alternatively, the robotic arm could have an adsorption mechanism and a rotating mechanism, using the adsorption mechanism for positioning and fixing, and the rotating mechanism for tightening the lamp electrode and lamp cover, etc., but it is not limited to these methods. Since the robotic arm is existing technology, it is not shown in the figure.

[0022] With this configuration, the robotic arm can simultaneously perform positioning, flipping, and tightening functions, simplifying the structure of the assembly device 10 and further reducing the equipment's footprint.

[0023] Optionally, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 The rotating device 20 includes: a platform 22, disposed on one side of the assembly device 10; a rotating drive 23, disposed above the platform 22, for rotating drive; and several support frames 21, disposed opposite to the feeding device 40 and connected to the output end of the rotating drive 23, for mounting the clamping device 30 and driving the clamping device 30 to rotate.

[0024] Understandably, the support frame 21 is the mounting frame for fixing and installing the clamping device 30. For example, it can be a metal support frame 21 or a composite material support frame 21, but it is not limited to these.

[0025] This configuration, with the support frame 21 securing the clamping device 30, ensures stability during transportation.

[0026] Optionally, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 The first clamping mechanism 31, the second clamping mechanism 32 and the third clamping mechanism 33 are respectively arranged on several support frames 21 and are located above the feeding device 40.

[0027] Understandably, the feeding device 40 transports components such as lamp holders to the first clamping mechanism 31, lamp electrodes to the second clamping mechanism 32, and lamp covers to the third clamping mechanism 33. For example, it can be three independent vibrating tables 42, located below the first clamping mechanism 31, the second clamping mechanism 32, and the third clamping mechanism 33, respectively. Alternatively, it can be a conveyor belt feeding device 40, which is arranged around the rotating device 20. Workers place the lamp holders, lamp electrodes, and lamp covers onto the conveyor belt feeding device 40 in sequence, and the conveyor belt feeding device 40 transports the components to the first clamping mechanism 31, the second clamping mechanism 32, and the third clamping mechanism 33, etc., but is not limited to these feeding methods.

[0028] With this configuration, the feeding device 40 transports the parts to the area below the first clamping mechanism 31, the second clamping mechanism 32, and the third clamping mechanism 33. The first clamping mechanism 31, the second clamping mechanism 32, and the third clamping mechanism 33 only need to lower their claws to clamp the parts, thereby improving assembly efficiency.

[0029] Optionally, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the rotating device 20 includes: a platform 22 disposed on one side of the support platform 11; a rotary driver 23 disposed on the platform 22, with its output end connected to the turntable 24 for rotating and driving the turntable 24; and three support frames 21 disposed on the turntable 24 and connected to the output end of the rotary driver 23 for mounting the clamping device 30. The rotary driver 23 drives the turntable 23 and the support frames 21 on the turntable 23 to rotate, thereby driving the clamping device 30 to rotate.

[0030] Understandably, clamping component 311 is a component that fixes the lamp holder, such as a gripper or an adsorption fixing mechanism, but is not limited to these. Lifting component 312 is a component that drives clamping component 311 to move up and down to clamp or release the lamp holder, such as a nut screw lifting mechanism or an electric push rod lifting mechanism, but is not limited to these.

[0031] This configuration allows the lifting component 312 to drive the clamping component 311 to move up and down quickly, improving assembly efficiency.

[0032] Optionally, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 The feeding device 40 includes: a lifting mechanism 41, which is disposed on one side of the assembly device 10 along the rotation direction of the rotating device 20 and opposite to the third clamping mechanism 33, for feeding lamp covers to the third clamping mechanism 33; a vibrating table 42, which is disposed on one side of the lifting mechanism 41 along the rotation direction of the rotating device 20 and opposite to the second clamping mechanism 32, for feeding lamp electrodes to the second clamping mechanism 32; and a rotating mechanism 43, which is disposed on one side of the vibrating table 42 along the rotation direction of the rotating device 20 and opposite to the first clamping mechanism 31, for feeding lamp holders to the first clamping mechanism 31.

[0033] Understandably, the lifting mechanism 41 is a component that automatically arranges and transports the lampshade to the third clamping mechanism 33. For example, it could be a clamping and feeding device 40, which consists of a clamping mechanism and a moving mechanism. The clamping mechanism clamps the lampshade and the moving mechanism transports it to a designated location. It could also be a vibrating feeding mechanism, etc., but is not limited to these. The vibrating table 42 is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. The rotating mechanism 43 is a rotating worktable for installing electrodes and lamp wicks on the lamp holder by manual labor or a robotic arm. For example, it could be two stations, one station directly below the first clamping mechanism 31, and the other station for workers to install electrodes and lamp wicks. It could also be multiple stations, one station directly below the first clamping mechanism 31 for the first clamping mechanism 31 to clamp the assembled lamp holder, and the other two stations equipped with robotic arms, one for installing electrodes on the lamp holder and the other for installing lamp wicks on the lamp holder, etc., but is not limited to these.

[0034] With this setup, different feeding components are used to feed components such as lamp covers, lamp holders, and lamp electrodes to the clamping device 30. The feeding components can be set according to the characteristics of different lamp covers, lamp holders, and lamp electrodes, which improves the feeding efficiency. Furthermore, the different feeding components are set up separately, so that when a feeding component is damaged, it can be replaced in time to prevent production from being affected by the damage of a single feeding component.

[0035] As can be seen from the above, when it is necessary to assemble the lamp holder, lamp cover and lamp electrode, the rotating mechanism 43 sends the lamp holder to the bottom of the first clamping mechanism 31, the vibrating table 42 transports the lamp electrode to the bottom of the second clamping mechanism 32, the first clamping mechanism 31, the second clamping mechanism 32 and the third clamping mechanism 33 simultaneously descend to clamp the lamp holder, lamp electrode and lamp cover, and transport the lamp holder to the assembly device 10 and fix it. After the lamp electrode is transported to the assembly device 10, the lamp electrode and lamp holder are assembled by the robotic arm. After the assembled lamp holder is flipped over and fixed to the assembly device 10, the second clamping mechanism 32 transports the lamp cover to the assembly device 10, and the robotic arm assembles the lamp cover and lamp holder.

[0036] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model; however, the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and its improved concept, should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
