Automatic assembly system and method

Abstract

The present invention discloses an automatic assembly system. The automatic assembly system comprises a fixture suitable for clamping a first part; a first robot for capturing the first part and disposing the captured first part into the fixture; and a second robot for capturing a second part and inserting the captured second part into the first part fixed on the fixture. The fixture is installed and supported on a fixed support plate, and the fixture is configured to be capable of moving in a first direction and a second direction, which are orthogonal, relative to the fixed support plate. According to the automatic assembly system, the fixture for clamping the first part is slidably supported on the fixed support plate, so that when the second part is inserted into the first part, the insertion force is directly born by the fixed support plate without being applied to the first robot, the relative position between the first part and the second part can be ensured, and assembly accuracy can be improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an automatic assembly system and an automatic assembly method for inserting a part into another part. Background technique [0002] Because robots can quickly and precisely assemble tiny parts, in the prior art, multiple robots are usually used to cooperate to complete the assembly of a product, for example, two parts are assembled together through the cooperation of two robots. [0003] In the prior art, when inserting a component into another component, generally one robot directly grasps one component, another robot directly grasps another component, and then one robot moves relative to the other robot, thereby Insert one part into another part. There is no problem with this solution when the insertion force required for insertion is small. However, if the insertion force required for insertion is large, it is difficult to control the positional accuracy of the robot, which will reduce the assembly accuracy. For e...

However, if the insertion force required for insertion is large, the positional accuracy of the robot will be difficult to control, which will reduce the assembly accuracy

For example, in the process of inserting the terminal into the insulating body (or called the housing) in the form of interference fit, a large insertion force is required. At this time, if the entire insertion force is directly applied to the ends of the two robots, The two robots cannot reliably maintain the relative position between the terminal and the insulating body, which will affect the assembly accuracy of the terminal.
