The working principle of the tape measure is that in a normal state, the tape of the tape measure is wound on the tape wheel component under the action of the pre-tightening force of the spring. When the tape is pulled out, the tape wheel rotates, and the tape spring connected with the tape wheel rotates along with the tape wheel to store energy in the tape casing for retracting the tape.
The automatic assembly equipment is well designed by combining the components of the tape measure and the working principle of the tape measure, and is roughly divided into the following equipment components.
Ruler wheel assembly equipment:
(1) Rule wheel feeding
The ruler wheel base is conveyed to the appointed position of the turntable by the ruler wheel grabbing unit, and when the sensor detects that the position to be grabbed is free of the ruler wheel, the next ruler wheel base is forward to reach the grabbing position and wait for grabbing of the next grabbing unit.
(2) Ruler spring feeding
The vibrating rod detects that the vibrating disc can be used for measuring the spring to be transmitted, a signal is given to the spring storage unit, the spring is added to the vibrating disc, and the vibrating disc is sequentially arranged on the guide rail after being straightened through vibration and the spring guide rail. The turntable rotates, and the rule spring grabbing unit grabs the rule spring and puts the rule spring into the rule wheel base. The turntable rotates to drive the rule wheel base and the rule spring to the next position, and the rule wheel cover plate is waited for installation.

The servo motor is connected with the rotating shaft of the ruler spring in the axial direction, the well-installed and retarded ruler wheel assembly detected by the last station rotates, the ruler spring is pre-tensioned, and the servo motor automatically stops after rotating for a certain number of turns or angles. The servo motor connecting shaft is separated from the ruler spring rotating shaft downwards. The turntable rotates to enter the next working procedure.
(6) Conveying (rule wheel+rule spring pre-tightening) component
The preloaded rule wheel assembly and the rule spring rotating shaft are grabbed together by the grabbing unit, and after being adjusted by the assembly angle adjusting assembly, the preloaded rule wheel assembly is conveyed along the rule wheel assembly conveying guide rail to the next station, namely the installation of the lower rule shell.
(7) Lower ruler shell installation
The lower ruler shell A contains a ruler spring mandrel.
The image recognition system on the manipulator recognizes how many ruler cases of the conveyor belt are, and when the recognition ruler cases are insufficient, the lower case stores and sends the ruler cases into the conveyor belt. And (3) recognizing the posture of the lower ruler shell by photographing the image, clamping by a manipulator, adjusting the posture of the lower ruler shell, and sending the lower ruler shell into a lower ruler shell positioning tool after detection is completed.
The spring rotating shaft on the grabbing unit of the rule wheel pre-tightening assembly is aligned with the spring mandrel on the lower rule shell and is pressed downwards, so that the rule wheel pre-tightening assembly is separated from the spring rotating shaft and is mounted on the spring mandrel on the lower rule shell.
B. And the lower ruler shell positioning tool is provided with a clamping device, the head of the ruler spring is tightened, and the shrinkage of the ruler spring on the pre-tightening component is avoided.
So far, the lower blade assembly (including the blade pretensioning assembly) is assembled. Awaiting installation of the upper blade assembly.
(7) The upper ruler shell component is installed with (lifting belt, ruler mouth and ruler brake)
A, mounting the lifting belt
The image recognition system recognizes the number of the lifting belts on the conveyor belt, the number is reduced, signals are sent to the lifting belt storage unit, and the number is increased through the conveyor belt. The image recognition system recognizes the gesture of the lifting belt, and the lifting belt is placed in a specific tool on the turntable of the lower ruler shell assembly after being grasped and adjusted by the manipulator.
B, mounting of ruler brake assembly

The sensor is arranged at the pre-grabbing position to detect the existence of the ruler nozzle, the grabbing unit grabs the ruler nozzle according to system knowledge, and the synchronous belt is pushed forward to be put into the upper ruler shell assembly which is installed in front, and the assembly is installed at the moment.
(8) Upper and lower shell assembly
The upper ruler shell assembly provided with the lifting belt, the ruler gate and the ruler nozzle is clamped by the grabbing unit of the upper ruler shell assembly, and the synchronous belt is pushed to move forwards and is assembled with the lower ruler shell assembly. At this time, the mounting of the scale shell component, the scale wheel component, the lifting belt, the scale brake and the scale nozzle is completed. I.e. the tape measure main assembly is installed.
(9) Ruler shell screw installation
The assembly installed in the working procedure is rotated to a screw station of the ruler shell through the rotating disc, one or more screw machines can be installed on the screw machine base, the screw machines reach the appointed position through the track, and the screw machines are aligned to screw holes in the ruler shell to install screws. The screwdriver head is replaceable so as to adapt to different types of tape measure shell screws, and the screw machine comprises an automatic screw feeding function.
After the screw is installed, the screw is rotated to the next station, namely the installation of the tape.
(10) And (5) mounting the tape.
The tape is sequentially stacked in the tape slot, the upper tape is sucked by the sucking disc and is sent to the turnover mechanism, the turnover mechanism turns 90 degrees to hang the tape on the spring head to restore the original position, the spring head clamping mechanism is opened, and the tape is recovered in the tape measure.
The punched hole shape of the tail part of the ruler tape and the tail part of the ruler spring can be seen, the sucker ruler tape is sent to the ruler tape rotating mechanism, the ruler tape rotating mechanism is aligned to the position, the ruler tape is lifted first, and after the ruler tape is penetrated into the punched hole of the tail part of the ruler tape for half, the ruler tape is rotated clockwise for 90-100 degrees to be connected with the ruler spring, then the clamping mechanism of the ruler spring is loosened, and the ruler tape is retracted into the ruler shell under the acting force of the ruler spring. And (5) completing the tape installation.
(11) Fastening of belt buckle and locking of middle nail
The belt buckle vibration disc detects the number of belt buckles in the vibration disc through the vibration rod, but when the number is insufficient, the belt buckle storage unit is triggered for feeding. The vibration disc is vibrated, the belt buckle tracks are straightened and then sequentially arranged on the tracks, and the forefront is a pre-grabbing position. The grabbing unit grabs the belt buckle, the synchronous belt moves forward to reach the designated position, descends and rotates to the center of the upper ruler shell, the screw machine tightens the center screw, and the measuring tape is assembled and ready for being taken off.
