Fig. 1 D is the schematic side view of the apparatus for assembling shown in Figure 1A when the action, Fig. 1 E is the upper schematic diagram of the apparatus for assembling shown in Figure 1A when the action, please also refer to shown in Fig. 1 D and Fig. 1 E, in the present embodiment, represent that apparatus for assembling 1 is for sending into the assembly mouth P of an assembling target H by thing U to be assembled, below by with this example for the manner of execution of apparatus for assembling 1 of the present invention is described in representative in detail.
Thing U to be assembled is fixed on dovetails 112, further thing U to be assembled is arranged in the stopper slot 111 of Knockdown block 11 again, in the present embodiment, thing U to be assembled is one T-shaped piece, and the stopper slot 111 be made up of two locating part 111a also corresponds to a T-shaped groove, by the mutual collocation of these two element shapes, thing U to be assembled can be arranged and smooth and easy movement in stopper slot 111, this is non-is restricted, and the configuration of locating part 111a can adjust with thing U to be assembled, and the present invention does not limit in this.Carrier module 13 is located along the same line with assembling target H, and specifically, assembling target H is positioned at one end of slide rail 133 to accept thing U to be assembled.
Apparatus for assembling 1 drives thing U to be assembled, and moves with the assembly mouth P of a direction towards assembling target H, and described moving direction is called an assembling direction D1.Will be understood that, when there is no error, after apparatus for assembling 1 promotes thing U to be assembled direction D1 moves a segment distance along assembling, assembly mouth P should be entered smoothly.
But, when having tolerance when between assembling target H and thing U to be assembled, the position that such as assembly mouth P offers offset by several millimeters, or assembling target H or thing U to be assembled fails precisely to be placed on apparatus for assembling 1, or apparatus for assembling 1 uses for a long time and produces angle when offseting a little, thing U to be assembled can occur be moved along assembling direction D1, but other with the assembly mouth P of assembling target H housing produces and collides, and even produces the situation of damage.
If because of above-mentioned any reason, when making correct assembling direction D1 ' have a side-play amount d ' with actual assembling direction D1, thing U to be assembled can near and when touching the assembly mouth P of assembling target H, produce with housing and collide.Under this External Force Acting, thing U to be assembled and dovetails 112 can produce along an adjustment direction D2 and offset, and elastic parts 12 deformation occurs with storage elasticity potential energy.Because dovetails 112 can be slided along the relative dovetail groove 131 of adjustment direction D2, therefore thing U to be assembled automatically can produce when producing collide with housing and finely tunes school, make it assemble direction D1 and return to correct assembling direction D1 ', that is utilize the action of adjustment direction D2 to eliminate side-play amount d ', and make apparatus for assembling 1 can get back to former predetermined correct assembling direction D1 ', can be combined with assembling target H smoothly in order to thing U to be assembled, and can not as known after an impact with regard to stuck situation about cannot move.In the present embodiment, adjustment direction D2 presss from both sides one 90 degree of angles with assembling direction D1.But though adjustment direction D2 must accompany an angle with assembling direction D1, described angle is not restricted to 90 degree, it is by changing the design of dovetail configuration, and is arbitrarily angled between 1 ~ 90 degree.
In addition, in the present embodiment, apparatus for assembling 1 also can comprise and is arranged at a pedestal S by slide rail 133.Slide rail 133 is fixed on pedestal S, and stopper slot 111 also can be fixed on pedestal S.Generally speaking, two locating part 111a are directly fixedly arranged on pedestal S by four pillars 114, and thing U to be assembled is slidedly arranged on stopper slot 111 along assembling direction D1, and, there is certain interval at adjustment direction D2 in the sidewall of a thing U and two to be assembled locating part 111a, can finely tune to make thing U to be assembled along adjustment direction D2 relative limit groove 111.By thing U to be assembled is arranged at stopper slot 111, the amplitude that thing U to be assembled rocks can be limited.At this, the glide direction of the relative slide rail 133 of slide block 132 is consistent with the glide direction of thing U relative limit groove 111 to be assembled, namely, all along assembling direction D1, thus guarantee when slide block 132 slides on slide rail 133 along assembling direction D1, thing U to be assembled can be synchronously driven to slide in stopper slot 111, to avoid producing the state that whole device card stubbornly refuses to move.
Specifically, please refer to Fig. 1 E, owing to there is gap R between thing U to be assembled and locating part 111a, the better size being more than or equal to the side-play amount existed between correct assembling direction and actual assembled direction of its width range, specifically, when thing U to be assembled is arranged at stopper slot 111, the two lateral extent locating part 111as of thing U to be assembled on adjustment direction have the distance equaling gap R respectively.When being arranged at the thing U to be assembled in dovetails 112 and running into the obstacle on self assembly direction, thing U to be assembled adjusts in the distance of gap R by the relative carrier module 13 of dovetails 112, to make Knockdown block 11 continue to the motion of assembling target by cut-through, and the displacement of adjustment on adjustment direction can be allowed to be controlled.After external force disappears (that is, obstacle eliminate), the elastic returning that dovetails 112 stores by elastic parts 12, to initial position, makes thing U to be assembled continue to move along former assembling direction D1 to assembling target.
In sum, apparatus for assembling of the present invention operationally, effect of fine setting can be produced between thing to be assembled and assembling target, that is, when thing to be assembled follows assembling direction to assemble with assembling target, even if there is deviation to exist, still by the relative motion along adjustment direction between dovetails and dovetail groove, make thing to be assembled can make Self-regulation track along adjustment direction, thus avoid assembling the obstacle on route, be combined with assembling target smoothly.
Specifically, the apparatus for assembling used in prior art, when lacking auxiliary fixture, for what be straightforward, thing to be assembled is sent to assembling target, therefore when thing to be assembled exists angled deviation with assembling target because of various factors, often can cause assembling unsuccessfully, the even easy situation that generation component damages because of collision; Compare with prior art, by the setting of dovetails in the present invention and dovetail groove, thing to be assembled can be finely tuned on an adjustment direction, thus avoid on assembling direction, run into obstacle just stuck problem of being unable to stir any more, wherein, obstacle may comprise the shell structure around thing assembly mouth to be assembled.The fluency of overall package process can be promoted by the design further, the more important thing is, artificial demand can be got rid of, reach the target of automation.Moreover apparatus for assembling of the present invention need not install extra auxiliary fixture additional in addition, there is simplified design and save effect of assembling space.
The above is only illustrative, and non-limiting.Anyly do not depart from spirit of the present invention and category, and to its equivalent modifications of carrying out or change, all should be included in claim limited range.
