[0032] Reference Figure 4and Figure 5 In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the assembly jig further includes a control mechanism, a gap catcher 5 and a gap adjustment mechanism 6. The gap catcher 5 is used to capture the gaps on the left and right sides of the rotating shaft during the assembly process of the display end and the operating end, namely, gap A and gap B, and send the image information to the control mechanism. The control mechanism is used to receive the image information captured by the gap catcher 5 and can obtain the adjustment distance of the gaps on the left and right sides of the rotating shaft based on the image information; the gap adjustment mechanism 6 is used to adjust the display end or the operating end according to the above-mentioned adjustment distance so that the final gap A is equal to the gap B.

[0033] Reference Figure 4-Figure 6 In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first supporting device 1 is used to support the display end of the notebook, and the second supporting device 2 is used to support the operating end of the notebook. The first supporting device 1 includes a display end support plate 11, an intermediate bracket 12 and a driving mechanism.

[0035] Reference Figure 6 In the embodiment of the present disclosure, a plurality of rubber pads are provided on the display terminal support plate 11, which can protect the notebook display terminal during the assembly process.

[0036] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6In the embodiment of the present disclosure, a plurality of pre-positioning blocks 18 are provided on the display end support plate 11. The display end of the notebook can be placed between the pre-positioning blocks 18 so that the position of the display end of the notebook can be preliminarily positioned. The first supporting device 1 also includes a clamping mechanism 17 for fixing the display end. The clamping mechanism 17 includes a clamping cylinder 171, a push plate 172, a clamping spring 173 and a first clamping plate 174. The clamping cylinder 171 is fixedly mounted on the back of the display end support plate 11. The push plate 172 is connected to the piston rod of the clamping cylinder 171. The push plate 172 is arranged side by side with the first clamping plate 174. The clamping spring 173 is arranged between the first clamping plate 174 and the push plate 172. The clamping spring 173 can be arranged on the push plate 172 facing the first clamping plate 174 or on the first clamping plate 174 facing the push plate 172. After the piston rod of the clamping cylinder 171 contracts, it can drive the push plate 172 to move toward the first clamping plate 174. Since a clamping spring 173 is provided between the first clamping plate 174 and the push plate 172, the first clamping plate 174 can continue to be pushed by the clamping spring 173. The display end of the notebook has been initially positioned on the display end support plate 11 by the pre-positioning block 18. Then, the first clamping plate 174 is used to press against one side of the display end. The first clamping plate 174 can cooperate with the pre-positioning block 18 on the other side of the display end to clamp the display end of the notebook.

[0037] Reference Figure 5-Figure 7 In an embodiment of the present disclosure, two gap catchers 5 are provided below the intermediate rotating shaft 13. During the assembly process of the display end and the operating end, the two gap catchers 5 can be aligned with the gap A and the gap B respectively. The gap catchers 5 have a measuring function and can capture the specific values ​​of the gap A and the gap B.

[0038] Reference Figure 8 In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the gap catcher 5 is set on a fixed plate 52, the position of which can be adjusted left and right. At the same time, a light emitter 51 is also provided on the upper side of each gap catcher 5. The light emitter 51 and the gap catcher 5 can both be adjusted up and down on the fixed plate 52 to achieve better capture of gap A or gap B.

[0039] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 6In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the second supporting device 2 includes a bottom support plate 21 and an operating terminal support plate 22. Second clamping plates 24 for clamping the operating terminal are provided on both sides of the operating terminal support plate 22. Slide rails 23 are provided on the bottom support plate 21, and the second clamping plates 24 are slidably mounted on the slide rails 23. Inner grooves 221 are provided on both sides of the operating terminal support plate 22. The second clamping plates 24 can be displaced in the inner grooves 221 by moving on the slide rails 23, thereby driving the translation of the notebook operating terminal. The values ​​of gaps A and B can be adjusted without changing the position of the display terminal.

[0040] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 6 In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the assembly jig includes a gap adjustment mechanism 6, which includes an electric cylinder 61. The electric cylinder 61 is arranged on both sides of the second clamping plate 24. The electric cylinder 61 has a piston rod 611, which is connected to the second clamping plate 24. The control mechanism is communicatively connected to the electric cylinder 61. The movement of the piston rod 611 of the electric cylinder 61 can be controlled by the control mechanism to drive the second clamping plate 24 to move on the slide rail 23, thereby driving the translation of the operating end.

[0041] In the specific setting, only one electric cylinder 61 can be set, or two electric cylinders 61 can be set. When two electric cylinders 61 are set, one is set on each side of the second clamping plate 24. Because the electric cylinder 61 needs to ensure that the distance between the second clamping plates 24 remains unchanged during movement, the piston rod 611 of one electric cylinder 61 extends and the piston rod 611 of the other electric cylinder 61 contracts, and the extension amount and contraction amount of the above electric cylinders 61 are the same.

[0042] When using this assembly jig, you can follow the following process:

[0043] First, place the operating terminal of the notebook on the operating terminal support plate 22, and activate the electric cylinder 61 through the control mechanism so that the second clamping plate 24 pre-clamps the operating terminal;

[0044] Then place the display end of the notebook on the display end support plate 11 and clamp the display end through the clamping mechanism 17;

[0045] Then the gap catcher 5 detects the values ​​of gap A and gap B respectively;

[0046] If there is a numerical difference C between gap A and gap B, divide the numerical difference C by 2 to obtain the adjustment distance D;

[0047] The control mechanism controls the cylinder to push the second clamping plate 24 to move, and the moving distance is the adjustment distance D;

[0048] After the above adjustments, tighten the operating end with screws to fix the hinge of the notebook.

[0049] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the process of screw-locking the operating end can be achieved by a robot to save manpower.

[0050] It should be understood that the various forms of the processes shown above can be used to reorder, add, or delete steps.
