The feasibility analysis of timer automatic assembly instead of traditional production

Timing function and sensing technology are indispensable functions of all current home appliances. Microwave ovens, washing machines, pressure cookers, electric ovens, dewatering machines, dishwashers, disinfecting cabinets, electric fans and other household appliances must use the timing function. Timers used in home appliances are divided according to the structure and can be roughly divided into mechanical timers and electronic timers. Mechanical timers are similar to clocks in that they consist of a large number of gear trains meshing with each other. The original power is a clockwork or motor.

1, domestic timer production supply chain

At present, domestic timer manufacturers are mainly concentrated in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Guangdong, and are mainly supplied to home appliance manufacturers such as Midea, Sanyo, Philips, Dongling, Whirlpool, Rongshida, Jiuyang, Little Swan, Rongsheng, and Wanjiale.

2. Disadvantages of traditional production methods of timers

At present, most of the timer manufacturers are in the traditional way, that is, manually adding the belt line, which requires a lot of labor, and the consistency of the product is not high, the quality is not stable. When manual work is done, the arbitrariness is too great; skilled workers and interns are interspersed with work, and the process is difficult to control. In particular, before the Spring Festival every year, the employees are too liquid and put great pressure on the scheduled delivery.

3, implementation of timer assembly automation

Shenzhen Research Automation Technology Co., Ltd. through the inspection of the industry, found that the process of manual assembly of the timer in many processes can be completed in an automated way. In the early stage, the assembly experience accumulated in the planetary stand assembly machine, the motor assembly machine, the F head assembly machine, and the high-frequency head assembly machine has passed through continuous tests and has now mastered a great deal of experience in gear assembly. Related projects are in the process of development.

4, the advantages of timer automation equipment

After the project is successfully developed, it will completely replace the traditional manual operation form. All materials are automatically arranged in a certain direction by a vibrating plate, robots automatically grasp, placed in the fixtures of the disc mechanism or linear mechanism, according to the manual operation process, combined with the production process of the product gradually automated assembly. The entire assembly process also includes points such as lubricating oil, butter or grease, screws, wire cutting, wire stripping, and testing.

The whole production process of the timer industry is usually about 20-40 people. According to different product processes, the number of people required is different. After automated production, more than 80% of labor will be replaced by machines. Part of the appearance inspection and testing of the torque feel need to be done manually. With automated production, manual replacement by a large number of machines results in a significant increase in product stability and a guaranteed delivery cycle.
