[0032] Referring to Figures 1 to 9, an embodiment of the present application illustrates an automatic assembly and closing device for a handle 6, configured to assemble a base 61, a core 62, and a cover 63 of the handle 6. The device comprises a frame 1, a first loading mechanism 2, a second loading mechanism 3, a third loading mechanism 4, and an assembly mechanism 5. The installation process of the base 61, core 62, and cover 63 of the handle 6 is generally as follows: first, the core 62 is inserted into the base 61, and then the cover 63 is closed onto the base 61, with the cover 63 buckled onto the core 62 to secure the core 62 within the installation space between the base 61 and the cover 63.

[0033] There can be one or more frames 1. In this embodiment, the first loading mechanism 2, the second loading mechanism 3, the third loading mechanism 4 and the assembly mechanism 5 are respectively arranged on different frames 1 and surround the frame 1 where the assembly mechanism 5 is located. Of course, the first loading mechanism 2, the second loading mechanism 3, the third loading mechanism 4 and the assembly mechanism 5 can also be arranged on one frame 1, which is not specifically limited here.

[0034] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3, and Figure 10. The first loading mechanism 2 is set on the frame 1. The first loading mechanism 2 includes a first storage component 21 configured to place the base 61, a loading component 22 configured to grab the base 61, and a base temporary storage component 23 configured to temporarily store the base 61. The loading component 22 grabs the base 61 in the first storage component 21 and places it on the base temporary storage component 23. The first storage component 21 includes a base carrier, and multiple bases 61 can be arranged and placed on the base carrier in sequence by manual or robotic arms, and the base carrier is fixedly placed to achieve positioning of the base 61 for easy grabbing by the loading component 22.

[0035] The feeding assembly 22 comprises a support 221, a slide rail 222 installed on the support 221, a feeding clamping jaw 223 slidably installed on the slide rail 222, and a second driving member 224 that drives the feeding clamping jaw 223 to move on the slide rail 222. The feeding clamping jaw 223 comprises a driving cylinder 2231 arranged in a vertical direction, a base clamping cylinder 2232 installed on the driving cylinder 2231, and a clamping tooth 2233 installed on the output shaft of the base clamping cylinder 2232. The clamping tooth 2233 is driven to be clamped on the base 61 by the base clamping cylinder 2232, and then the clamping tooth 2233 is driven to move the base 61 on the slide rail 222 by the driving cylinder 2231, and the base 61 is driven to rise and fall by the driving cylinder 2231, so that the base 61 in the first storage assembly 21 can be placed on the base temporary storage assembly 23, so that the assembly mechanism 5 can be assembled and used for convenience.

[0036] The base storage assembly 23 includes a support base 231 and a base fixture 232 mounted on the support base 231. The base fixture 232 is provided with a placement groove 2321 that matches the shape of the base 61. The base fixture 232 is mounted on top of the support base 231 and arranged horizontally. The placement groove 2321 is formed on the upper surface of the base fixture 232, that is, the base 61 is placed horizontally above the base fixture 232.

[0037] Please refer to Fig. 4, the second feeding mechanism 3 is arranged on the frame 1, and the second feeding mechanism 3 comprises a second storage assembly 31 for placing a core 62, an identification assembly 32 above the second storage assembly 31, a grabbing assembly 33 arranged on one side of the second storage assembly 31, and a core temporary storage assembly 34 for temporarily storing the core 62. The grabbing assembly 33 grabs the core 62 in the second storage assembly 31 according to the recognition result of the identification assembly 32, and is placed on the core temporary storage assembly 34. The grabbing assembly 33 is a manipulator, which is connected with the identification assembly 32 signals and will not be described in detail here.

[0038] The second storage assembly 31 includes a storage bin 311 configured to store the cores 62 and a vibration structure 312 configured to drive the storage bin 311 to vibrate. In this embodiment, since the cores 62 are irregularly shaped, if scattered within the storage bin 311, they may not necessarily meet the grasping requirements of the grasping assembly 33. Therefore, the vibration structure 312 is connected to the storage bin 311. The vibration structure 312 drives the storage bin 311 to vibrate so that the cores 62 are evenly distributed within the storage bin 311, thereby facilitating the identification assembly 32 to detect targets suitable for grasping. The vibration structure 312 is related art and will not be described in detail here.

[0039] The recognition component 32 includes a recognition module 321 and a comparison module 322. The recognition module 321 obtains a photo of the core 62 in the storage bin 311. The comparison module 322 obtains the photo and compares it with a preset image of the core 62. It then marks the position of the core 62 that meets the grasping requirements. The grasping component 33 grasps the marked core 62 and places it on the core temporary storage component 34. The recognition module 321 can be a recognition camera, which is a related technology and is not further described here.

[0040] The core storage assembly 34 includes a conveyor line 341 and a core jig 342 mounted on the conveyor line 341. One end of the conveyor line 341 is located near the storage bin 311, and the other end is located near the core mounting assembly 53. The conveyor line 341 includes a drive motor 3411 and a drive screw 3412 connected to the drive motor 3411. The core jig 342 is threadedly connected to the drive screw 3412. The drive motor 3411 drives the drive screw 3412 to rotate, thereby moving the core jig 342 between the storage bin 311 and the core mounting assembly 53.

[0041] 5 , the third loading mechanism 4 is disposed on the frame 1 and includes a third storage assembly 41 configured to place the cover 63, a cover loading robot 42 configured to grab the cover 63, and a cover temporary storage assembly 43 configured to temporarily store the cover 63. The cover loading robot 42 grabs the cover 63 from the third storage assembly 41 and places it in the cover temporary storage assembly 43.

[0042] In this embodiment, the third material storage assembly 41 includes a material storage cabinet 411, two transmission lines 412 arranged in parallel at the bottom of the material storage cabinet 411, and a fixture gripper 413 arranged across and directly above the two transmission lines 412. A accommodating cavity is formed inside the material storage cabinet 411, and a loading port 4111 and a unloading port 4112 are formed on the upper surface of the material storage cabinet 411. The loading port 4111 and the unloading port 4112 are respectively located directly above the two transmission lines 412. Four positioning members 4113 are arranged along the circumference of the loading port 4111. The positioning members 4113 include a horizontally arranged positioning cylinder and an L-shaped plate provided on the output shaft of the positioning cylinder.

[0043] One of the transmission lines 412 is a loading transmission line, configured to hold a cover jig for loading covers 63. Covers 63 are loaded onto a cover jig 431 in a regular pattern. Multiple cover jigs 431 are stacked on the transmission line 412. An opening 4114 is provided on one side of the storage cabinet 411, through which the cover jigs 431 are placed on the transmission line 412. To further enhance positioning, the cover jig 431 is provided with a slot adapted for an L-shaped plate. The other transmission line 412 is a unloading transmission line, configured to collect the cover jigs 431 after they have used up the covers 63.

[0044] Referring to Figure 9, the cover temporary storage assembly 43 includes a cover support 431 and a clamping structure 432 disposed on the cover support 431. The clamping structure 432 includes a clamping member 4321 disposed on the upper surface of the cover support 431, and a fixing block 4322 and a pushing member 4323 disposed on both sides of the clamping member 4321 along a direction perpendicular to the clamping member 4321. The clamping member 4321, the fixing block 4322, and the pushing member 4323 form a cover placement area. When the cover 63 is placed in the cover placement area, the pushing member 4323 holds the cover 63 against the fixing block 4322, while the clamping member 4321 clamps the cover 63 on both sides, thereby horizontally positioning the cover 63 for easy grasping and use by the assembly mechanism 5.

[0045] The working process of the third loading mechanism 4 is as follows: multiple cover jigs 44 are placed on the loading transmission line 415 from the opening 4114 manually or by loading equipment. The transmission line 415 drives the cover jig 44 to move to the bottom of the loading port 4111. The jig gripper 413 grabs the top cover jig 44 to the loading port 4111. The positioning cylinder drives the L-shaped plate to be clamped in the slot on the side of the cover jig 44 to position the cover jig 44. The cover loading robot 42 grabs the cover 63 on the cover jig 44 in turn and places it in the cover temporary storage assembly 43 to be assembled and used by the assembly mechanism 5. After all the covers 63 in a cover jig 44 are grabbed, the jig gripper 413 grabs the cover jig 44 and moves it to the unloading port 4112, and places it on the unloading transmission line 412 through the unloading port 4122. After the covers 63 in the bottommost cover jig 44 are used up, the loading transmission line 412 and the unloading transmission line 412 are started respectively to transport new cover jigs 44 and transport the used cover jigs 44 to the next process point to be loaded with new cover 63.

[0046] Please refer to Figures 6 to 8, and Figure 10. The assembly mechanism 5 is arranged on the frame 1. The assembly mechanism 5 includes a circulation component 51 and a base mounting component 52, a core mounting component 53, a cover mounting component 54 and a blanking component 55 arranged along the circulation direction of the circulation component 51. The circulation component 51 includes a rotating structure 511 and at least one mounting fixture 512 arranged on the rotating structure 511. In this embodiment, according to the sequence requirements of the base 61, core 62 and cover 63 of the installation handle 6, the base mounting component 52, the core mounting component 53, the cover mounting component 54 and the blanking component 55 are arranged in sequence along the circulation direction of the circulation component 51 to better complete the assembly work. The number of mounting fixtures 512 can be set according to the assembly requirements and is not limited here.

[0047] Among them, the rotating structure 511 drives the installation jig 512 to pass through the base installation component 52, the core installation component 53 and the cover installation component 54 in sequence. The base installation component 52 grabs the base 61 on the base temporary storage component 23 and places it on the installation jig 512. The core installation component 53 grabs the core 62 on the core temporary storage component 34 and installs it into the base 61. The cover installation component 54 grabs the cover 63 on the cover temporary storage component 43 and covers the base 61 to assemble the handle 6. The blanking component 55 is configured to grab the handle 6 from the installation jig 512 to the finished product area.

[0048] The rotating structure 511 includes a support frame 5111, a rotating member 5112 installed on the support frame 5111, and a first driving member 5113 for driving the rotating member 5112 to rotate. At least one mounting fixture 512 is arranged at intervals on the rotating member 5112, and the base mounting assembly 52, the core mounting assembly 53, the cover mounting assembly 54 and the blanking assembly 55 are arranged in sequence along the rotation direction of the rotating member 5112.

[0049] In this embodiment, the rotating member 5112 is a transmission chain 51121. The transmission chain 51121 is arranged in a runway-like shape along the vertical direction and includes a horizontal section 511211 and an arc section 511212 connected end to end. The base mounting assembly 52, the core mounting assembly 53, the cover mounting assembly 54, and the blanking assembly 55 are arranged in sequence along the direction of movement of the horizontal section 511211. The support frame 5111 is a plate-like structure in the shape of a runway and is arranged on the frame 1 along a vertical surface. The transmission chain 51121 is arranged around the circumference of the support frame 5111. The mounting fixture 512 is horizontal. When passing through the horizontal section 511211 of the transmission chain 51121, the upper surface of the mounting fixture 512 moves horizontally. The horizontal section 511211 of the transmission chain 51121 includes a head end and a tail end according to the direction of movement. Among them, the base mounting assembly 52 is located at the head end of the horizontal section 511211 of the transmission chain 51121, and the blanking assembly 55 is located at the end of the horizontal section 511211 of the transmission chain 51121.

[0050] In other embodiments, the rotating member 5112 is also a rotating disc, which is arranged horizontally. The mounting fixture 512 is arranged on the upper surface of the rotating disc at intervals along the circumference of the rotating disc. The base mounting assembly 52, the core mounting assembly 53, the cover mounting assembly 54 and the blanking assembly 55 are arranged in sequence on the circumferential side of the rotating disc along the rotation direction of the rotating disc.

[0051] A clamping assembly 51122 is provided on one side of the horizontal section 511211 of the transmission chain 51121, corresponding to the core mounting assembly 53 and the cover mounting assembly 54. The clamping assembly 51122 includes a first lifting cylinder 511221, a first clamping cylinder 511222 mounted on the first lifting cylinder 511221, and a clamping block 511223 mounted on the first clamping cylinder 511222. When the transmission chain 51121 drives the mounting vehicle to move to the core mounting assembly 53 and the cover mounting assembly 54, the first lifting cylinder 511221 descends, allowing the clamping blocks 511223 to move to both sides of the base 61. The first clamping cylinder 511222 then drives the clamping blocks 511223 to clamp onto both sides of the base 61, preventing the base 61 from moving when the core mounting assembly 53 and the cover mounting assembly 54 are installing the core 62 and the cover 63. After the assembly is completed, the first clamping cylinder 511222 drives the clamping block 511223 to loosen the base 61, the first lifting cylinder 511221 moves upward, and the transmission chain 51121 drives the installation fixture 512 to move to the next assembly position or unloading.

[0052] The blanking assembly 55 includes a blanking gripper 551, a handle temporary storage assembly 552, and a flipping structure 553. The blanking gripper 551 grabs the handle 6 on the mounting fixture 512 and places it on the flipping structure 553. The flipping structure 553 clamps the handle 6 and rotates it before placing it on the handle temporary storage assembly 552. In this embodiment, the flipping structure 553 includes a horizontally arranged translation cylinder 5531, a rotating cylinder 5532 fixed on the output shaft of the translation cylinder 5531, and a rotating clamp 5533 mounted on the output shaft of the rotating cylinder 5532. The handle 6 is grasped by rotation, and the rotating clamp 5533 is driven by the rotating cylinder 5532 to rotate the handle 6 180°, so as to facilitate subsequent processing of the handle 6. Of course, the rotation angle of the handle 6 can also be any angle required by other installation requirements, which is not specifically limited here.

[0053] In other embodiments, the unloading gripper 551 grabs the handle 6 on the mounting fixture 512 and places it on the handle temporary storage assembly 552, and the flipping structure 553 grabs the handle 6 on the handle temporary storage assembly 552 and flips it 180° and places it on the handle temporary storage assembly 552.

[0054] In addition, it should be noted that the rotating clamp 5533 is composed of two clamping teeth of different lengths that are symmetrically arranged on the second clamping cylinder. When the handle 6 is not flipped over, the short clamping teeth are above the long clamping teeth, and the unloading gripper 551 grabs the handle 6 on the mounting fixture 512 and moves horizontally, so that the cover body 63 of the handle 6 moves between the two clamping teeth. After the second clamping cylinder drives the two clamping teeth to clamp the handle 6, the unloading gripper 551 releases the handle 6 and resets it. The rotating cylinder 5532 drives the rotating clamp 5533 to drive the handle 6 to rotate 180° and then place it in the handle temporary storage assembly 552. The short clamping teeth are arranged at the top to prevent the unloading gripper 551 from colliding with the long clamping teeth during the horizontal movement. At the same time, after flipping, the short clamping teeth are at the bottom to prevent it from colliding with the handle temporary storage assembly 552.

[0055] In this embodiment, the handle temporary storage assembly 552 includes a fixed base 5521, a second lifting cylinder 5522 vertically mounted on the fixed base 5521, and a handle clamp 5523 mounted on the output shaft of the second lifting cylinder 5522. The unloading gripper 551 grasps the assembled handle 6 and places it on the handle clamp 5523 on the second lifting cylinder 5522. The handle clamp 5523 is configured to clamp the assembled handle 6. The translation cylinder 5531 then drives the rotating clamp 5533 to move to either side of the handle 6 on the mounting jig 512, where it clamps the handle 6. The second lifting cylinder 5522 drives the handle clamp 5523 downward to create space for the handle 6 to rotate and prevent collisions during rotation. After rotation is complete, the second lifting cylinder 5522 drives the mounting jig 512 upward to reposition the handle 6, flipped 180°, onto the handle clamp 5523.

[0056] In other embodiments, a second lifting cylinder 5522 may be provided in the vertical direction to drive the flip structure 553 to move up and down so as to prevent collision when the handle 6 rotates.

[0057] In this embodiment, the handle temporary storage assembly 552 is the finished product area, and the assembled and covered handle 6 is placed in the handle temporary storage assembly 552 for use by other devices.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 2. It should be noted that the above-mentioned base mounting assembly 52, cover mounting assembly 54, fixture gripper 46 and unloading gripper 551 are similar in structure to the loading assembly 22, and are all composed of a bracket 221, a slide rail 222 installed on the bracket 221, a clamp slidably installed on the slide rail 222, and a second driving member 224 that drives the clamp to move on the slide rail 222. The difference is that the type of clamp is different. The grasping structure installed on the above-mentioned clamp and manipulator includes but is not limited to parallel clamps, spring clamps, pneumatic clamps, suction cup clamps, magnetic clamps, etc., which can be selected according to actual needs and are not specifically limited here.

[0059] In addition, the lid closing device further comprises a control system, which is configured to control the operation of the lid closing device.
