It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for purposes of illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the application.
In the related art, an automobile safety seat is generally installed on an automobile seat for a child to sit on, and in case of collision or sudden deceleration of an automobile, the automobile safety seat for the child can reduce impact pressure to the child, and reduce injuries to the child by restricting body movement of the child, so that the automobile safety seat can effectively improve safety of riding of the child.
The automobile safety seat generally comprises a fixed base and a safety seat base, when the automobile safety seat is used, the fixed base is usually installed and fixed on the automobile seat, a sliding rail is arranged on the fixed base, the sliding rail is arranged along the advancing direction of the automobile, meanwhile, rollers are arranged at the bottom of the safety seat base and can slide in the sliding rail, so that under the condition that the automobile collides or suddenly decelerates, the generated impact force is buffered by moving the safety seat base relative to the position between the fixed bases, and the damage to children is avoided.
When the existing production personnel assemble the roller of the safety seat base, the side, provided with the roller, of the safety seat base is generally upwards, and the roller is placed corresponding to the mounting groove. At this time, the roller is not firmly matched with the mounting groove, that is, the roller is not clamped in the mounting groove, production personnel are required to press the roller into the mounting groove, and then the safety seat base provided with the roller is transferred to the next processing procedure.
According to the assembly process, the assembly process of the roller is complex, and safety risks exist in the process of carrying manually and compacting the roller. Meanwhile, when the roller is pressed manually, the force applied to the roller cannot be determined, for example, the applied force is too small, the installation position of the roller in the installation groove may not be in place, the roller may be damaged due to too large applied force, a good installation effect cannot be achieved, and the later use experience of the roller and the service life of the roller are not facilitated. Therefore, an automatic roller assembly device is needed, and the problems of complicated operation process, low efficiency and work injury risk during manual roller assembly to a base of an automobile safety seat can be effectively solved.

As shown in fig. 1, the automatic assembly roller device utilizes a vibration loading tray 90 and a loading manipulator 11 to realize loading of the rollers 10. The vibration feeding disc 90 is arranged on the outer side of the conveying track 41, the feeding guide rail 91 extends to the conveying track 41, the vibration feeding disc 90 is used for arranging the rollers 10 in the feeding barrels 92 regularly and feeding the rollers into the feeding guide rail 91, the feeding manipulator 11 is arranged on one side of the feeding station 50, and the feeding manipulator 11 is used for transferring the rollers 10 in the feeding guide rail 91 to the clamping groove 21 of the product main body 20 in the positioning jig 42. More specifically, in the present embodiment, the vibration loading tray 90 outputs the roller 10 in a regular arrangement so that the loading robot 11 transfers the roller 10. Referring to fig. 1, the vibration loading tray 90 includes a barrel 92 and a loading rail 91, specifically, the barrel 92 is disposed on one side of the conveying rail 41, one end of the loading rail 91 is connected to the barrel 92, and one end far from the barrel 92 extends onto the conveying rail 41. It will be appreciated that the rollers 10 in the cartridge 92 are fed to the feed rail 91 to provide for a orderly output of the rollers 10 in alignment. So that the feeding manipulator 11 transfers the roller 10 to the clamping groove 21 of the product main body 20.
The roller 10 output by the vibration feeding tray 90 is conveyed to the positioning jig 42 by the feeding manipulator 11. Specifically, referring to fig. 1, the feeding manipulator 11 is mounted on the base 30 and located at one side of the vibration feeding tray 90, and meanwhile, the feeding manipulator 11 is disposed at one side of the feeding station 50, so as to transfer the roller 10 at the feeding end of the feeding rail 91 to the clamping groove 21 located in the product main body 20.
After the loading is completed, the positioning fixture 42 carries the positioned product main body 20 to move along the conveying track 41 so as to transfer the product main body 20 to the pressing station 60, and the pressing mechanism 12 is arranged at the pressing station 60 and is used for pressing the roller 10 into the clamping groove 21 of the product main body 20. The positioning jig 42 continues to move along the conveying rail 41 to transfer the pressed product body 20 to the blanking station 70. The blanking mechanism 13 is disposed at one side of the blanking station 70, and is used for taking out the pressed product main body 20 from the blanking station 70 to realize blanking.

The problem that the operation process is complicated, the efficiency is low and the risk of industrial injury exists when the roller 10 is manually installed into the clamping groove 21 of the product main body 20 can be effectively solved.
To facilitate the delivery of the roller 10 to the vibratory feeding tray 90, the automatic assembly roller apparatus further includes an auxiliary feeding mechanism 80 to deliver the roller 10 to the vibratory feeding tray 90. Specifically, referring to fig. 3, an auxiliary feeding mechanism 80 is disposed above the base 30, the auxiliary feeding mechanism 80 includes a feeding hopper 81 and a feeding conveyor 82, the feeding hopper 81 is located between the pressing station 60 and the discharging station 70, and the feeding conveyor 82 is used for conveying the rollers 10 in the feeding hopper 81 to a barrel 92 of the vibration feeding tray 90.

It can be appreciated that the caliber of the feeding hole 812 is larger to increase the capacity of the roller 10 and further reduce the number of manual feeding, and the caliber of the discharging hole 813 is smaller to control the feeding amount of the feeding hole 813 to the feeding conveyor 82 and the feeding amount of the vibrating feeding tray 90.
Here, the feeding amount of the vibration feeding tray 90 is controlled, so that excessive rollers 10 are prevented from being stored in the vibration feeding tray 90 at the same time, and the normal operation of the vibration feeding tray 90 is prevented from being affected. Of course, the shape of the feed passage 811 is not particularly limited, and may extend in a straight line or in a spiral, or the like, and may be set according to actual circumstances.

At this time, the other driving rollers are disposed between the two driving rollers and are arranged along the conveying direction determined by the two driving rollers, and the rotation directions of the plurality of driving rollers are identical. It should be noted that, the driving roller disposed between the two driving rollers is used to support the conveyor belt on one hand, so as to avoid the situation that the middle position is sunk due to the longer length of the conveyor belt, which is not beneficial to the conveying of the conveyor belt, and can have a certain influence on the service life of the conveyor belt. On the other hand, in the middle position of the conveyor belt, driving force is provided for the conveyor belt, so that the conveyor belt can run conveniently.

Due to the vertical vibration force, combined with the oblique tension of the spring plate, the cylinder 92 can perform torsional vibration around its own vertical axis. The rollers 10 in the barrel 92 are caused to rise along the spiral path until being fed to the ports by the vibration, and the feed rail 91 is abutted with the ports to output the rollers 10 outputted from the ports in a regular arrangement along the feed rail 91.

Specifically, referring to fig. 1, the feeding conveyor belt 82 is disposed along the Y-axis direction, and the conveying direction of the feeding conveyor belt 82 is perpendicular to the running direction (i.e., the X-axis direction) of the conveying rail 41 and is located above the conveying rail 41, so as to improve the space utilization of the apparatus. Meanwhile, the feeding hopper 81 is located at one side of the operation device close to an operator, and a discharge port of the feeding hopper 81 corresponds to a feed end 821 of the feeding conveyor belt 82, namely, the operator can feed the feeding hopper 81 at the operation side of the device, so that convenience is provided for feeding of the operator. At this time, the feeding end 821 of the feeding conveyor 82 is close to one side of the device operation, and the feeding port corresponds to the feeding end 821 of the feeding conveyor 82 and is located on the feeding end 821 of the feeding conveyor 82, and the other end of the feeding conveyor 82 is abutted with the cartridge 92 to convey the roller 10 to the cartridge 92.

In some specific embodiments, referring to fig. 6, the loading manipulator 11 generally includes a moving assembly 112 and a clamping fixture 111, where the moving assembly 112 generally includes a first rotation driving mechanism 1121 installed on the base 30, a plurality of mechanical arms 1122 connected to the first rotation driving mechanism, and a second rotation driving mechanism 1123 connected to the mechanical arms, and the clamping fixture 111 is connected to the second rotation driving mechanism 1123. It can be understood that each mechanical arm 1122 has two degrees of freedom, and meanwhile, the clamping jig 111 and the second rotary driving mechanism 1123 can form any included angle between the adjacent mechanical arms 1122, and meanwhile, the rotating angle of the first rotary driving mechanism 1121 is combined, that is, the feeding mechanical arm 11 can well move at the angle between the upper, lower, left and right sides and front and back in the space range, and then the feeding mechanical arm 11 can drive the clamping jig 111 to move in the space position, so that the clamping jig 111 can be abutted with the feeding guide rail 91 at a proper angle to clamp the roller 10 output by the feeding guide rail 91. In this way, the clamping jig 111 is convenient to dock with the feeding guide rail 91 at a space position, so that the difficulty of docking between the clamping jig 111 and the feeding guide rail 91 is reduced, and meanwhile, the docking time between the clamping jig 111 and the feeding guide rail 91 is also saved.
In some embodiments, the feeding manipulator 11 may also be a linear module with a spatial range placed along X, Y, Z three directions, and any two directions of the three directions X, Y, Z are perpendicular to each other. The transfer clamp is installed and fixed on the driving end of the linear module in the X-axis direction, the Y-axis direction or the Z-axis direction, and the transfer clamp is driven to move in a space range along with the movement of the three-direction linear module, so that the transfer clamp is in butt joint with the vibration disc. Of course, the specific structure of the transferring mechanism is not limited in the present application, and other structures for transferring the roller 10 known to those skilled in the art may be used.
In some specific embodiments, referring to fig. 6, the clamping fixture 111 includes two clamping jaws 1111 disposed along a straight line, and the two clamping jaws 1111 simultaneously clamp one roller 10 from the feeding rail 91, and place the two clamped rollers 10 in the corresponding clamping grooves 21 one by one.

That is, the positioning jig 42 is used for carrying the product main body 20 on one hand, and is convenient for clamping and fixing the product main body 20 on the other hand. Of course, in some embodiments, the number of the detent blocks 422 is not particularly limited, and it is understood that in the case that the size and shape of the product body 20 are determined, the more the number of the detent blocks 422, the more the position of the detent blocks 422 contacting the product body 20, and thus, the more firmly and accurately positioning the product body 20. In some embodiments, the positioning blocks 422 can also move on the positioning carrier 421, and the size of the limiting groove 423 is changed by moving the positioning blocks 422, so as to adapt to different sizes of product bodies 20.
In some embodiments, the positioning fixture 42 may be provided with a plurality of loading areas (not shown), the plurality of loading areas are used for placing a plurality of product bodies 20, the pressing mechanism 12 includes a plurality of pressing members 1241 corresponding to the plurality of loading areas one by one, and the linear pressing cylinder 123 is connected to the plurality of pressing members 1241 to drive the plurality of pressing members 1241 to move synchronously. Then, the pressing members 1241 can press the rollers 10 on the product bodies 20 at the same time, so that the pressing efficiency of the pressing mechanism 12 on the rollers 10 can be improved, and the working time can be saved.
Meanwhile, referring to fig. 1, a sensor is disposed at the bottom of the positioning carrier 421, and the light emitted by the sensor is directed upward vertically to sense whether the product body 20 is placed on the positioning carrier 421. When the sensor detects that the product main body 20 is fixed in the limiting groove 423, the feeding manipulator 11 is controlled to place the roller 10 in the clamping groove 21 of the product main body 20, and when the sensor does not detect that the product main body 20 is fixed in the limiting groove 423, the product main body 20 needs to be placed in the limiting groove 423 first.
In some embodiments, the positioning fixture 42 may also include a positioning carrier 421 and a positioning nozzle disposed on the positioning carrier 421, when the product body 20 is placed on the positioning carrier 421, the positioning nozzle is attached to a side of the product body 20 away from the positioning slot 21 to fix the product body 20, and then the position of the product body 20 on the positioning carrier 421 is determined. The number of positioning nozzles is not particularly limited, and is determined according to the shape and size of the product body 20. Specifically, the larger the product body 20 is, the more positioning nozzles are required to adsorb the product body 20 to ensure the stability of fixing the product body 20, and the positioning nozzles are required to uniformly adsorb different positions on the product body 20 to fix the position of the product body 20. Of course, the fixing manner of the product body 20 is not limited to the above manner, and may be other fixing manners known to those skilled in the art.
In order to control the opening and closing of the two clamping jaws 1111, in some embodiments, referring to fig. 7, the clamping fixture 111 includes two clamping cylinders 1112 aligned in a straight direction, and the clamping jaws 1111 are respectively mounted at the output ends of the two clamping cylinders 1112. That is, the clamping cylinder 1112 is used for automatically controlling the opening and closing of the clamping jaw 1111, so that the clamping cylinder 1112 is conveniently controlled to take and put the roller 10.
In some embodiments, each clamping cylinder 1112 is coupled to a set of clamping jaws 1111, i.e., each set of clamping jaws 1111 can grip one roller 10. In the embodiment of the present application, the clamping fixture 111 includes two clamping cylinders 1112, that is, two rollers 10 can be simultaneously clamped. The product main body 20 is provided with 4 clamping grooves 21, so that the clamping jig 111 is required to transfer the roller 10 twice. It should be noted that, since a fixed distance is provided between the positions of two adjacent clamping grooves 21 on the product body 20, the distance between two clamping jaws 1111 controlled by two clamping cylinders 1112 on the same clamping jig 111 needs to be consistent with the distance between two adjacent clamping grooves 21. At this time, it is convenient for the two clamping claws 1111 to simultaneously grip the two rollers 10, and can be placed on the adjacent clamping grooves 21.
It should be noted that, in the implementation of the present application, referring to fig. 2, the product main body 20 is provided with 4 clamping grooves 21, the clamping fixture 111 can simultaneously transfer 1 roller 10 or a plurality of rollers 10, two clamping jaws 1111 simultaneously clamp one roller 10 from the feeding guide rail 91, and place the two clamped rollers 10 in the corresponding clamping grooves 21 one by one. The clamping jig 111 includes two clamping cylinders 1112 arranged in a straight direction, and clamping jaws 1111 are respectively mounted at output ends of the two clamping cylinders 1112.
It should be noted that, when the clamping jig 111 transports two or more rollers 10 simultaneously, two or more rollers 10 on the feeding rail 91 need to be clamped simultaneously, and two or more rollers 10 are placed at corresponding positions of two or more clamping slots 21 simultaneously, so that the distance between two adjacent rollers 10 at the output position on the feeding rail 91, the distance between two adjacent clamping jaws 1111 on the clamping jig 111, and the distance between two adjacent clamping slots 21 on the product main body 20 need to be kept consistent, so that the clamping jig 111 can transport two or more rollers 10 simultaneously. Of course, under the condition of reasonable space and layout, the more the number of the rollers 10 transferred each time, the shorter the pressing time of the plurality of rollers 10 on the product main body 20, and further the transferring efficiency of the transferring mechanism can be improved.
In some embodiments, the feeding manipulator 11 may further include a clamp mounting plate 1113 and a trimming cylinder 1114, referring to fig. 7, the clamp mounting plate 1113 is fixedly mounted at the output end of the second rotary driving mechanism 1123, the trimming cylinder 1114 is mounted on the clamp mounting plate 1113, and the clamping cylinder 1112 is connected to the driving end of the trimming cylinder 1114, so that the trimming cylinder 1114 may be used to adjust the position of the clamping cylinder 1112, so as to facilitate the docking of the clamping cylinder 1112 with the feeding rail 91 and the conveying mechanism 40.
The feeding manipulator 11 places the roller 10 in the clamping groove 21 of the product body 20, then, the positioning jig 42 carrying the product body 20 moves to the press station 70 along the conveying track 41, and presses the roller 10 placed at the clamping groove 21 into the clamping groove 21 via the press mechanism 12.
Specifically, referring to fig. 9 in combination with fig. 1, the pressing mechanism 12 includes support arms 121 fixedly disposed on the left and right sides of the pressing station 60 and a carrying plate 122 fixedly disposed on the upper ends of the support arms 121, at this time, the two support arms 121 are disposed on two sides of the conveying rail 41, and the carrying plate 122 is mounted on the conveying rail 41.
The pressing mechanism 12 includes four linear pressing cylinders 123 corresponding to the four clamping slots 21 and pressing jigs 124 respectively connected to output ends of the linear pressing cylinders 123, and the four linear pressing cylinders 123 respectively drive the corresponding four pressing jigs 124 to move downward so as to press the four rollers 10 into the four clamping slots 21 of the product main body 20 respectively.
In the embodiment of the application, the bearing plate 122 supported by the two supporting arms 121 can be erected on the positioning fixture 42 of the product body 20 with the roller 10 to be assembled, and at this time, the pressing member 1241 corresponds to the positioning fixture 42. Thus, the linear pressing cylinder 123 drives the pressing member 1241 to move towards the direction approaching and away from the positioning jig 42, and the pressing member 1241 approaches the positioning jig 42 to press the roller 10 placed in the clamping groove 21 of the product main body 20, so that the roller 10 is clamped in the clamping groove 21 of the product main body 20.
It can be appreciated that the pressing member 1241 is driven by the linear pressing cylinder 123 to drive the pressing member 1241 to press the roller 10 into the clamping groove 21 along the Z-axis direction. So that the pressing force of the pressing member 1241 acts on the roller 10 more directly, and thus, the roller 10 can be better clamped in the clamping groove 21.
