Apparatus for automated assembling of suitcase wheels and handles

Apparatus for automated assembling of suitcase wheels and handles, comprising:

• a wheel processing device including:
• a wheel conveyance platform turnable to and fro between a wheel placement position and a wheel locking position;
• a wheel pick-up arm for picking up one piece of wheel and one piece of suitcase shell, and placing the wheel and the suitcase shell sequentially on the wheel conveyance platform at the wheel placement position, so that the wheel and the suitcase shell are then moved by the wheel conveyance platform to the wheel locking position;
• and
• a wheel mounting mechanism for locking the wheel to the suitcase shell at the wheel locking position to form a half-finished suitcase shell;
• and
• a handle processing device including
• a handle conveyance platform being turnable to and fro among a handle placement position, a shell placement position, and a handle locking position;
• a handle pick-up arm for picking up one piece of handle and placing the handle on the handle conveyance platform at the handle placement position, so that the handle is movable by the handle conveyance platform to the shell placement position;
• a shell pick-up arm located between the shell placement position and the wheel locking position for moving the half-finished suitcase shell from the wheel locking position on the wheel conveyance platform to the shell placement position on the handle conveyance platform, and the half-finished suitcase shell and the handle being movable by the handle conveyance platform to the handle locking position at the same time;
• a mounting plate pick-up arm for moving a mounting plate to the handle locking position and placing the mounting plate on an inner side of the half-finished suitcase shell, so that the handle and the mounting plate are located at two opposite sides of the half-finished suitcase shell and aligned with each other;
• and
• a handle mounting mechanism for locking the handle and the mounting plate located at the handle locking position to the half-finished suitcase shell to produce a finished suitcase shell.
