The term "and/or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the present invention discloses a rocker assembling apparatus 10, and the rocker assembling apparatus 10 can be used to assemble a rocker 20 of a game handle (not shown), improving the assembling efficiency of the rocker 20. The joystick 20 of the game pad may be used to control the movement of the virtual game character, etc. Fig. 2 and 3 show a partial structure of the rocker 20, including a mounting case 21, an upper rocker arm 23, a lower rocker arm 25, and a spindle 27, the upper rocker arm 23, the lower rocker arm 25, and the spindle 27 are assembled to the mounting case 21, respectively, and the upper rocker arm 23 and the lower rocker arm 25 are also assembled with magnets 29, respectively. The mounting housing 21 may provide rigid support for the entire rocker 20, and other components of the rocker 20, such as a circuit board (not shown), may be assembled to the mounting housing 21. The upper rocker arm 23 is driven by the spindle 27 to swing relative to the mounting shell 21, so as to drive the upper magnet 29 to swing relative to the Hall sensor on the circuit board, and the Hall sensor can detect the magnetic field change to generate a trigger signal. Similarly, the spindle 27 can also drive the lower rocker arm 25 to swing relative to the mounting shell 21, so as to drive the upper magnet 29 to swing relative to the Hall sensor on the circuit board, and the Hall sensor can detect the magnetic field change to generate a trigger signal. The upper rocker arm 23 and the lower rocker arm 25 are relatively independent with respect to the mounting shell 21, for example, the upper rocker arm 23 can swing around one direction, the lower rocker arm 25 can swing around the other direction, and the swing axes of the upper rocker arm 23 and the lower rocker arm can be mutually perpendicular, wherein when one of the upper rocker arm 23 and the lower rocker arm 25 is in a swing state, the other upper rocker arm can be stationary with respect to the mounting shell 21, so that the operation independence is ensured.

The rocker arm assembly apparatus 10 includes a mounting case feeding mechanism 100, a turntable mechanism 200, an upper rocker arm assembly mechanism 300, a lower rocker arm assembly mechanism 400, and the like, and the mounting case feeding mechanism 100, the turntable mechanism 200, and the upper rocker arm assembly mechanism 300 are respectively connected to a machine table 410 of the lower rocker arm assembly mechanism 400. The mounting shell feeding mechanism 100 is used for transferring the mounting shell 21 to the turntable mechanism 200, so that the position of the mounting shell 21 on the machine table 410 is adjusted through the rotation of the turntable mechanism 200 relative to the machine table 410, the parallel assembly of the rockers 20 is facilitated, and the assembly efficiency is improved. The upper rocker arm assembly mechanism 300 is for assembling the upper rocker arm 23 with the magnet 29 assembled thereto to the mounting case 21 on the turntable mechanism 200, and the lower rocker arm assembly mechanism 400 in turn assembles the lower rocker arm 25 with the magnet 29 assembled thereto to the upper rocker arm 23 on the turntable mechanism 200. Parallel assembly can be simply understood that a plurality of assembly steps can be performed simultaneously, for example, during the transfer of the mounting case 21 from the mounting case feeding mechanism 100 to the turntable mechanism 200, the mounting case 21 that has been previously placed on the turntable mechanism 200 can be simultaneously subjected to other assembly steps, thereby improving the assembly efficiency.

During operation of the rocker assembly apparatus 10, the mounting shell feeding mechanism 100 may sequentially guide the mounting shell 21 to a preset position through the vibration plate and the rail connected to the vibration plate, and then transfer the mounting shell 21 to the turntable mechanism 200 through a mechanism such as a manipulator. The vibration plate feeding belongs to a relatively mature existing scheme, and the invention is not described in detail.

The upper swing arm assembly mechanism 300 may sequentially guide the upper swing arm 23 to a predetermined position through a vibration plate and a rail connected to the vibration plate, transfer it by a robot or the like, and assemble the magnet 29 to the mounting case 21 on the turntable mechanism 200.

With continued reference to fig. 1, the lower rocker arm assembly mechanism 400 includes a turntable assembly 420, a lower rocker arm loading assembly 430, a magnet loading assembly 440, and a rivet hot assembly 450, and with reference to fig. 4, the turntable assembly 420 is rotatably connected to the machine table 410 and has a first station G1, a second station G2, and a third station G3. In the embodiment of the present invention, the first station G1, the second station G2, and the third station G3 may be fixed relative to the machine table 410, the turntable assembly 420 includes a jig for carrying, the jig is positioned at the corresponding station, and the jig may rotate with the turntable assembly 420 relative to the machine table 410 to change the position, which may limit the lower rocker arm 25, so as to facilitate the sequential assembly of the magnet 29 and the spindle 27 to the lower rocker arm 25.

Referring to fig. 5, 6 and 7, the lower rocker arm feeding assembly 430 is connected to the machine table 410 and is used for transferring the lower rocker arm 25 to the first station G1, and the turntable assembly 420 drives the lower rocker arm 25 of the first station G1 to rotate to the second station G2. Referring to fig. 8 and 9, a magnet loading assembly 440 is connected to the machine table 410 and is used for assembling the magnet 29 to the lower rocker arm 25 of the second station G2, and the turntable assembly 420 drives the lower rocker arm 25 assembled with the magnet 29 to rotate to the third station G3. Referring again to fig. 1, a rivet assembly 450 is coupled to the machine 410 and is used to rivet the lower rocker arm 25 of the third station G3 with the magnet 29 assembled thereto such that the magnet 29 is retained by the lower rocker arm 25.

The rivet assembly 450 may include a rivet cylinder 451 and a rivet module 453, the rivet cylinder 451 may be a cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder, which is connected to the machine table 410, and the rivet module 453 is connected to an output end of the rivet cylinder 451 and is used for energizing heat to rivet the lower rocker arm 25 of the third station G3. Specifically, the rivet hot module 453 may be provided with a thermal resistor to heat the metal block or ceramic to achieve the effect of energizing heat. After the lower rocker arm 25 assembled with the magnet 29 is driven to the third station G3 by the turntable assembly 420, the hot riveting cylinder 451 can drive the hot riveting module 453 to move relative to the machine table 410 so as to be close to the third station G3, and the heated metal block or ceramic is abutted to the lower rocker arm 25, so that the plastic lower rocker arm 25 around the magnet 29 can be deformed by hot melting, and the magnet 29 is reliably limited to the lower rocker arm 25, so that the magnet 29 is prevented from easily falling out of the lower rocker arm 25 in the subsequent moving or assembling process.

Referring to fig. 5 and 6 in combination with fig. 1, the lower rocker arm feeding assembly 430 may include a vibration plate 431, a feeding module 433 and a material moving module 435, the machine 410 and the feeding module 433 are respectively connected to the vibration plate 431, and the material moving module 435 includes a translation cylinder 4351, a lifting cylinder 4353 connected to an output end of the translation cylinder 4351, a rotating cylinder 4355 connected to an output end of the lifting cylinder 4353, a driving cylinder 4357 connected to an output end of the rotating cylinder 4355, and a claw 4359 connected to an output end of the driving cylinder 4357. Translation cylinder 4351 may be a cylinder, the output of which may be simply understood as the piston rod of the cylinder. In the embodiment of the present invention, the output ends of the air cylinder and the hydraulic cylinder are understood as such, and will not be described in detail. Of course, the translation cylinder 4351 may be a hydraulic cylinder. Any one of the lift cylinder 4353, the rotary cylinder 4355, and the drive cylinder 4357 may be selected as the cylinder or the hydraulic cylinder.

The vibration disk 431 is used for orderly arranging a plurality of lower rocker arms 25 to the feeding module 433, the translation cylinder 4351 drives the lifting cylinder 4353 to be close to or far away from the first station G1 along the feeding direction, the lifting cylinder 4353 drives the rotating cylinder 4355 and the driving cylinder 4357 to be close to or far away from the feeding module 433 along the direction perpendicular to the feeding direction, the driving cylinder 4357 drives the claw 4359 to grasp the lower rocker arms 25 on the feeding module 433, and the rotating cylinder 4355 is also used for driving the lower rocker arms 25 to rotate so as to be adapted to the first station G1.

Specifically, the feeding module 433 may include a feeding rail 4331, a sliding cylinder 4333, and a sliding plate 4335, wherein the feeding rail 4331 is connected to the vibration plate 431, the sliding cylinder 4333 is connected to the machine 410, and the sliding plate 4335 is connected to an output end of the sliding cylinder 4333. The sliding table cylinder 4333 may be an air cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder, and is used for driving the sliding plate 4335 to move between a first position and a second position along a feeding direction, wherein the feeding direction is parallel to the feeding track 4331. The second position is closer to the first station G1 than the first position, and fig. 5 shows a state in which the slide plate 4335 is located at the second position. The slide 4335 in the first position may interface with the feed rail 4331 to receive the lower rocker arm 25 transferred from the feed rail 4331. For example, referring to fig. 7, the sliding plate 4335 may be provided with a limiting slot 4335a, and the side wall of the limiting slot 4335a is provided with an air hole 4335b. When in the first position, the sliding plate 4335 is relatively attached to the feeding rail 4331, so that the lower rocker arm 25 on the feeding rail 4331 is conveniently transferred into the limit groove 4335a; after the vibration disk 431 transfers the lower rocker arm 25 to the limit groove 4335a at the first position through the feeding track 4331, the air hole 4335b can be attached to the lower rocker arm 25, and the air hole 4335b of the limit groove 4335a can be communicated to an external vacuumizing mechanism, so that negative pressure is generated in the air hole 4335b to adsorb the lower rocker arm 25 in the limit groove 4335a on the side wall of the limit groove 4335a, and the lower rocker arm 25 is prevented from being separated from the limit groove 4335a in the moving process of the sliding plate 4335 relative to the machine table 410.

After the sliding table cylinder 4333 drives the sliding plate 4335 and the lower rocker arm 25 thereon to move to the second position, as shown in fig. 7, the lower rocker arm 25 in the limiting groove 4335a and the feeding rail 4331 can be separated by a certain distance, so as to prevent the peripheral structure of the claw 4359 from interfering with the feeding module 433 in the process of grabbing the lower rocker arm 25.

The translation cylinder 4351 can further drive the lifting cylinder 4353 to be far away from the first station G1 and close to the second position along the feeding direction, and the lifting cylinder 4353 drives the rotary cylinder 4355 and the driving cylinder 4357 to be close to the second position along the direction perpendicular to the feeding direction, so that the claw 4359 can extend into a limit groove 4335a at the second position and penetrate into the lower rocker arm 25; the driving cylinder 4357 drives the claw 4359 to be outwards stretched, and the outwards stretching acting force of the claw 4359 on the lower rocker arm 25 can enable the lower rocker arm 25 to be fixed on the claw 4359, so that the claw 4359 can grab the lower rocker arm 25. Illustratively, the claw 4359 may include a fixed arm and a movable arm, where the fixed arm is fixedly connected to the cylinder body of the driving cylinder 4357, and the movable arm is connected to the output end of the driving cylinder 4357, and controls the air passage in the cylinder body through an electromagnetic valve or other type of valve, so that the opening and closing of the fixed arm and the movable arm can be achieved. Of course, the claw 4359 may also take other structural forms, and the present invention will not be described in detail.

After the claw 4359 grabs the lower rocker arm 25 at the second position, the lifting cylinder 4353 can drive the rotary cylinder 4355, the claw 4359 and the lower rocker arm 25 on the claw 4359 to be far away from the second position along the direction perpendicular to the feeding direction, and then the translation cylinder 4351 drives the lower rocker arm 25 to move along the feeding direction to the first station G1. In the process, the rotary cylinder 4355 may rotate the lower rocker arm 25 to adapt to the first station G1. For example, in the embodiment of the present invention, after the rotary cylinder 4355 drives the lower rocker arm 25 to rotate, the portion of the lower rocker arm 25 of the first station G1 for mounting the magnet 29 may be directed to the feeding module 433. When the turntable assembly 420 drives the lower rocker arm 25 to rotate to the second station G2, the portion of the lower rocker arm 25 for mounting the magnet 29 may face the magnet feeding assembly 440, thereby facilitating assembly of the magnet 29 to the lower rocker arm 25. The rotary cylinder 4355 may be a rotary cylinder or a rotary hydraulic cylinder, and the technical scheme is mature, which will not be described in detail in the present invention.

After the claw 4359 assembles the lower rocker arm 25 to the lower rocker arm 25 of the first station G1, the vibration plate 431, the material moving module 435 and the material feeding module 433 may continue to cooperate with each other, and the above assembling process is repeated.

Referring to fig. 6 and 7, the lower rocker arm feeding assembly 430 may further include a limiting module 437, where the limiting module 437 includes a limiting member 4371 and a telescopic rod 4373, the limiting member 4371 may be an air cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder, and is connected to the machine table 410, and the telescopic rod 4373 is connected to an output end of the limiting member 4371 and is used for penetrating the lower rocker arm 25 on the feeding track 4331 to limit movement of the lower rocker arm 25, so as to control feeding. Specifically, the vibration plate 431 sequentially arranges the plurality of lower swing arms 25 to the feeding rail 4331 to move to the limit groove 4335a of the sliding plate 4335 at the first position; when the endmost lower rocker arm 25 transferred along the feeding track 4331 reaches the limit groove 4335a, the limit piece 4371 can drive the telescopic rod 4373 to move downwards, and then penetrates the lower rocker arm 25 adjacent to the lower rocker arm 25 in the limit groove 4335a on the feeding track 4331, so that the continuous transfer of the lower rocker arm 25 is limited. When the sliding plate 4335 returns to the second position from the second position, the limiting member 4371 can drive the telescopic rod 4373 to move upwards, so that the lower rocker arm 25 on the feeding track 4331 can continue to move towards the limiting groove 4335 a.

Referring to fig. 8 and 9, the magnet feeding assembly 440 includes a tray 441, a first pusher 442, a second pusher 443, a third pusher 444, and a fourth pusher 445, the tray 441 is slidably connected to the machine 410 and has a plurality of discharge slots 4411 disposed in parallel at intervals, and the discharge slots 4411 can cover a cover plate to protect and limit the magnets 29 placed on the tray 441. The discharge slots 4411 are used for placing a plurality of magnets 29, and the first pusher 442 may be a motor, a cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder, which is connected to the machine 410 and is used for pushing the tray 441 to move relative to the machine 410, so that one of the discharge slots 4411 corresponds to the output end of the second pusher 443. The second pusher 443 may be a motor or an air cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder that is coupled to the machine 410 to push the magnet 29 out of the discharge slot 4411 and to the third pusher 444. The third pusher 444 is coupled to the machine 410 to push the magnet 29 and the fourth pusher 445 to move and approach the second station G2. The fourth pusher 445 is connected to the third pusher 444 to push the magnet 29 to be assembled to the lower rocker arm 25. The third pusher 444 may be a motor or a cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder and the fourth pusher 445 may be a motor or a cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder. When all of the magnets 29 in one of the discharge slots 4411 are exhausted, the first pusher 442 may push the tray 441 to move, aligning the other discharge slot 4411 with the output end of the second pusher 443. When all of the magnets 29 in the tray 441 are used up, the tray 441 may be replaced, and the magnets 29 may be reloaded.

With continued reference to fig. 9, the magnet feeding assembly 440 may further include a limiter 446 connected to the third pusher 444, where the limiter 446 may be an air cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder, and after the output end of the second pusher 443 pushes the magnet 29 out of the discharge slot 4411 and into the third pusher 444, the output end of the limiter 446 and the output end of the fourth pusher 445 together limit the magnet 29 to the third pusher 444, preventing the magnet 29 from falling out. After the third pusher 444 pushes the magnet 29 to approach the second station G2, the output end of the limiter 446 releases the limit of the magnet 29, and the output end of the fourth pusher 445 pushes the magnet 29 to assemble the magnet 29 to the lower rocker arm 25 of the second station G2.

Further, in some embodiments, the magnet feeding assembly 440 further includes a stop cylinder 4471 and a stop 4473 connected to an output end of the stop cylinder 4471, where the stop cylinder 4471 may be an air cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder connected to the machine 410 for driving the stop 4473 to move up and down. The third pusher 444 may receive two or more magnets 29. After the output end of the second pusher 443 pushes the magnet 29 out of the discharge slot 4411 and into the third pusher 444, the stop cylinder 4471 drives the stop 4473 to move downward and press the magnet 29 closer to the discharge slot 4411, and the other magnet 29 can be pushed to the lower rocker arm 25 of the second station G2 by the fourth pusher 445.

Specifically, the loading assembly 4611 sequentially arranges the spindles 27 to the loading rail 4613 for transferring to the loading indexing module 465. When the end-most spindle 27 transferred along the material bearing track 4613 reaches the receiving and indexing module 465, the limiting cylinder 4631 can drive the limiting rod 4633 to move downwards, so as to pass through the spindle 27 on the material bearing track 4613 adjacent to the spindle 27 on the receiving and indexing module 465, thereby limiting the continuous transfer of the spindle 27.

With continued reference to fig. 10 and 11, the receiving indexing module 465 includes a slide cylinder 4651 and an indexing cylinder 4653, either of which 4651 and 4653 may be a pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder. The sliding cylinder 4651 is slidably connected to the machine 410 and is used for driving the indexing cylinder 4653 to butt against the material bearing track 4613 so as to receive the spindle 27 transferred by the material bearing track 4613. After the indexing cylinder 4653 receives the spindle 27, the sliding cylinder 4651 drives the indexing cylinder 4653 to move away from the material bearing track 4613, and the indexing cylinder 4653 drives the spindle 27 to rotate so as to correspond to the material taking module 467. The take out module 467 is used to grasp the spindle 27 on the index cylinder 4653 and assemble to the lower rocker arm 25 of the third station G3. The sliding cylinder 4651 drives the indexing cylinder 4653 to be far away from the material bearing track 4613, so that space is provided for rotation of the indexing cylinder 4653 and space is provided for movement of the material taking module 467.

Specifically, the material containing assembly 4611 sequentially arranges the plurality of spindles 27 to the material bearing track 4613, the rotary cylinder can rotate relative to the machine 410, and the sliding cylinder 4651 can further drive the surface of the indexing cylinder 4653 for docking to be attached to the end of the material bearing track 4613 so as to receive the spindles 27 transferred by the material bearing track 4613; the indexing cylinder 4653 may be connected to a vacuum to reliably attach a spindle 27 thereto after receiving a spindle 27; the limit cylinder 4631 drives the limit rod 4633 to move downwards, and penetrates the main shaft 27 on the material bearing track 4613 adjacent to the main shaft 27 on the indexing cylinder 4653, so that the continuous transfer of the main shaft 27 is limited. Then, the sliding cylinder 4651 drives the indexing cylinder 4653 and the spindle 27 thereon to be far away from the material bearing track 4613, so as to provide a space for the movement of the indexing cylinder 4653 and the material taking module 467, and prevent the indexing cylinder 4653 from interfering with the vibration material feeding module 461 and the material taking module 467 in the rotation process of the indexing cylinder 4653 relative to the machine table 410; the indexing cylinder 4653 in turn rotates the spindle 27 to match the attitude of the spindle 27 to the lower rocker arm 25 on the turntable assembly 420, thereby facilitating assembly of the spindle 27 into the lower rocker arm 25. After the indexing cylinder 4653 rotates the spindle 27, the material taking module 467 may grasp the spindle 27 on the indexing cylinder 4653 and assemble to the lower rocker arm 25 on the turntable assembly 420.

The material taking module 467 can also adopt the structural form of a translation cylinder, a lifting cylinder and a claw cylinder, wherein the translation cylinder is connected to the machine table 410, the lifting cylinder is connected to the output end of the translation cylinder, and the claw cylinder is connected to the output end of the lifting cylinder. The translation cylinder drives the lifting cylinder and the claw cylinder to approach or depart from the turntable assembly 420 along the radial direction of the turntable assembly 420, and the lifting cylinder approaches or departs from the indexing cylinder 4653 along the direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the translation cylinder. The output end of the jaw cylinder can be opened or closed so as to grasp the spindle 27 on the indexing cylinder 4653, which will not be described in detail.

For example, the first, second, third and fourth stations G1, G2, G3 and G4 are disposed at 90-degree intervals in correspondence to the circumferential direction of the turntable assembly 420. The turntable assembly 420 is used to rotate the lower swing arm 25 of the third station G3 to the fourth station G4.

The lower rocker arm assembly mechanism 400 includes a jaw assembly 470 attached to the machine table 410, the jaw assembly 470 being used to externally pressurize the lower rocker arm 25 at the fourth station G4 against expansion. The jaw assembly 470 may employ a pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder as a drive source to actuate the jaws open. After the spindle 27 is assembled to the lower rocker arm 25, the outer diameter of the spindle 27 may be equal to or slightly larger than the inner diameter of the lower rocker arm 25 in order to ensure the limit reliability of the spindle 27 at the lower rocker arm 25. Due to the dimensional error and assembly error of the lower rocker arm 25, the outer side of the main shaft 27 may cause the main shaft 27 to exert an external supporting force on the lower rocker arm 25, that is, the lower rocker arm 25 may undergo expansion deformation. After the lower rocker arm 25 assembled with the spindle 27 is rotated to the fourth station G4, the jaw assembly 470 may clamp the lower rocker arm 25 from opposite sides of the lower rocker arm 25, and apply pressure to opposite sides of the lower rocker arm 25, so that the lower rocker arm 25 is contracted inwards, which not only can prevent expansion deformation of the lower rocker arm 25, but also can further adjust an assembly gap between the spindle 27 and the lower rocker arm 25, so as to improve assembly reliability.

Of course, referring to fig. 4, the lower rocker arm assembly mechanism 400 may further include a sliding cylinder 480 connected to the machine table 410, and the clamping jaw assembly 470 is connected to an output end of the sliding cylinder 480, so as to be driven by the sliding cylinder 480 to move along a radial direction of the turntable assembly 420, so as to transfer and assemble the lower rocker arm 25 of the fourth station G4, which is assembled with the spindle 27, into the upper rocker arm 23 of the turntable mechanism 200.
