This product assembly device is used to adhere the second product to the connecting portion 2001 of the second product. After the second product is assembled to the first product 200, the outward-facing side is glossy, while the inward-facing side is rough. Therefore, care must be taken to prevent scratches on the glossy surface of the second product during assembly.

[0033] See Figure 2-Figure 5 The product assembly device of this embodiment includes: a frame 1, a first loading module 2, a first gripping module 3, a dispensing module 4, a pre-assembly module 5, a second loading module 6, a second gripping module 7, a third gripping module 8, a hot pressing module 9, and a blanking module 10. The first loading module 2, the dispensing module 4, the hot pressing module 9, and the blanking module 10 are arranged adjacent to the frame 1. The first gripping module 3, the pre-assembly module 5, the second loading module 6, and the second gripping module 7 are arranged on the frame 1. The third gripping module 8 is arranged between the hot pressing module 9 and the frame 1.

[0034] Specifically, the first loading module 2 is used to provide the first product 200. The first gripping module 3 is used to remove the first product 200 from the first loading module 2 and place it in the dispensing module 4. The dispensing module 4 is used to apply adhesive to the first product 200, specifically to the joint 2001. The adhesive is AB glue. The first gripping module 3 is also used to remove the first product 200 coated with the adhesive from the dispensing module 4 and place it in the pre-assembly module 5. The second loading module 6 is used to provide the second product, the second grabbing module 7 is used to take the second product out of the second loading module 6 and place it on the first product 200 located on the pre-assembly module 5 to form a product to be hot-pressed, the third grabbing module 8 is used to take the product to be hot-pressed from the pre-assembly module 5 and place it on the hot pressing module 9, the hot pressing module 9 is used to heat the product to be hot-pressed and press the product to be hot-pressed downward so that the first product 200 and the second product are bonded together to form a finished product, the third grabbing module 8 is also used to take the finished product out of the hot pressing module 9 and place it on the unloading module 10, and the unloading module 10 is used to recycle the finished product.

[0035] The product assembly device of this embodiment can realize the automated production of the entire process from product loading, processing, finished product, and unloading, greatly improving the assembly efficiency of the finished product; the use of mechanized operations can further improve the yield rate of the finished product, not only reducing the deviation due to manual bonding, but also effectively preventing the three damage problems of the product caused by the manual bonding process.

[0036] Further, see Figure 4 The first loading module 2 includes a first base 201 and a first conveyor belt 202, a first feeding bin 203, and a first loading position 204 arranged on the first base 201. The first feeding bin 203 and the first loading position 204 are arranged in sequence along the movement direction of the first conveyor belt 202. The first product 200 is placed on the first material tray 300. The first feeding bin 203 can stack multiple first material trays 300. The first conveyor belt 202 is used to transport the first material tray 300 loaded with the first product 200 on the first feeding bin 203 in order from bottom to top to the first loading position 204. The first loading position 204 can only receive one first material tray 300 at a time.

[0037] The first feeding bin 203 includes a first lifting cylinder 2031, a vertical material dividing cylinder 2032, a horizontal material dividing cylinder 2033, a first supporting plate 2034 and a supporting bracket 2035. The first lifting cylinder 2031 is fixedly mounted on the first base 201, and the first supporting plate 2034 is driven and connected to the first lifting cylinder 2031. The vertical material dividing cylinder 2032 is fixedly mounted on the first base 201 and is located on the side of the first supporting plate 2034. The horizontal material dividing cylinder 2033 is fixedly mounted on the vertical material dividing cylinder 2032 and is driven in the vertical direction by the vertical material dividing cylinder 2032. The horizontal material dividing cylinder 2033 is driven and connected to the supporting bracket 2035, and the supporting bracket 2035 is located on the side of the first supporting plate 2034. When discharging, the horizontal material distribution cylinder 2033 is in an extended state, and the first material tray 300 is placed on the support frame 2035 to limit the first material tray 300 from descending, and the first material tray 300 is not in contact with the first carrying plate 2034; when discharging, the first jacking cylinder 2031 rises, and the horizontal material distribution cylinder 2033 contracts to drive the support frame 2035 to move in the direction away from the first carrying plate 2034, and the first material tray 300 falls onto the first carrying plate 2034, and the vertical material distribution cylinder 2032 descends to drive the horizontal material distribution cylinder 2033 and the support frame 2035 to descend to the height of the top of the first material tray 300 at the bottom of the support frame 2035, and the horizontal material distribution cylinder 2033 extends to drive The support bracket 2035 is driven to move toward the first carrier tray 2034. The support bracket 2035 restricts the first material tray 300 except the bottom-most first material tray 300. The vertical material distribution cylinder 2032 rises, and the bottom-most first material tray 300 is retained on the first carrier tray 2034. The first lifting cylinder 2031 drives the first carrier tray 2034 downward so that the first material tray 300 retained on the first carrier tray 2034 contacts the first conveyor belt 202. The first conveyor belt 202 transports the first material tray 300 in contact with the first conveyor belt 202 to the first loading position 204. The first grabbing module 3 transports the first product 200 in the first loading position 204 to the dispensing module 4. In other embodiments, a motor may be used to replace the cylinder in this embodiment, which is not limited here.

[0038] The aforementioned first feed bin 203 allows the first trays 300 loaded with the first product 200 to be sequentially conveyed to the first loading station 204. In this embodiment, the trays loaded with the first product 200 are manually placed into the first feed bin 203. In other embodiments, this can also be accomplished by a robotic arm. Furthermore, in this embodiment, multiple first loading stations 204 are provided, sequentially arranged along the first conveyor belt 202, thereby reducing the number of loading operations.

[0039] Further, see Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 The product assembly device further includes a first product positioning module 11 provided on the frame 1. The first product positioning module 11 is disposed adjacent to the dispensing module 4 and includes a vertical fixing plate 111, a positioning block 112, and a sensor 113. The positioning blocks 112 are provided in plurality and are fixedly disposed on the first surface of the vertical fixing plate 111. The sensor 113 is fixedly disposed on the second surface of the vertical fixing plate 111, and the first surface and the second surface are disposed opposite each other. The sensor 113 is used to sense whether the first product 200 is placed on the vertical fixing plate 111. The positioning blocks 112 are used to support the first product 200. The first grasping module 3 first removes the first product 200 from the first loading module 2 and places it on the first surface of the vertical fixing plate 111. The first product 200 falls by its own gravity until it abuts against the positioning blocks 112 to achieve positioning. The first grasping module 3 then removes the first product 200 from the vertical fixing plate 111 and places it on the dispensing module 4.

[0040] By setting the first product positioning module 11, the positioning of the first product 200 can be achieved, which effectively improves the accuracy of the glue dispensing module 4 when applying the adhesive and prevents glue overflow.

[0041] Further, see Figure 5 as well as Figure 7The second loading module 6 includes a second conveyor belt 601, a second supply bin 602, a second loading position 603, and a recovery position 604, all provided on the frame 1. The second supply bin 602, the second loading position 603, and the recovery position 604 are sequentially arranged along the direction of movement of the second conveyor belt 601. Multiple second products are placed on a second material tray 400. Specifically, the second material tray 400 has multiple placement positions distributed in an array, and multiple second products are placed on the placement positions of the second material tray 400. The second supply bin 602 is capable of stacking multiple second material trays 400. The second conveyor belt 601 is used to transport the second material trays 400 loaded with the second products from the second supply bin 602 in order from bottom to top to the second loading position 603. When the second material tray 400 passes the second loading position 603, the second product is removed and the second material tray 400 is further conveyed by the second conveyor belt 601 to the recovery position 604, where the second material trays 400 are stacked from bottom to top in the recovery position 604. The structure of the second material supply bin 602 and the recovery position 604 is similar to that of the first material supply bin 203 and the operating principle is the same, and will not be repeated here.

[0042] The second loading position 603 includes a transverse driving member 6031, an upper and lower cylinders 6032, a flip cylinder 6033 and a first material suction head 6034. The transverse driving member 6031 is fixedly arranged on the frame 1. The upper and lower cylinders 6032 are fixedly mounted on the transverse driving member 6031 and driven by the transverse driving member 6031 in a horizontal direction perpendicular to the second conveyor belt 601. The flip cylinder 6033 is fixedly mounted on the upper and lower cylinders 6032 and driven by the upper and lower cylinders 6032 in a vertical direction. The first material suction head 6034 is driven and connected to the flip cylinder 6033. The flip cylinder 6033 can drive the first material suction head 6034 to flip. The second material When the tray 400 is transported by the second conveyor belt 601 along the travel direction to the second loading position 603, the transverse drive member 6031 drives the upper and lower cylinders 6032, the flip cylinder 6033, and the first suction head 6034 to move in a predetermined order until the first suction head 6034 is directly above the second product. The upper and lower cylinders 6032 drive the flip cylinder 6033 and the first suction head 6034 to descend, and the first suction head 6034 absorbs the second product. The upper and lower cylinders 6032 drive the flip cylinder 6033 and the first suction head 6034 to ascend, and the flip cylinder 6033 drives the first suction head 6034 to flip so that the second product faces upward. Specifically, since the second product is placed on the second tray 400 with the smooth surface facing upward, it is necessary to flip the second product in this step so that the rough surface of the second product faces upward.

[0043] Further, see Figure 5The second grasping module 7 includes a four-axis robot 701, a second suction head 702 and a first visual positioning component 703. The four-axis robot 701 is fixedly installed on the frame 1, the second suction head 702 is installed on the output shaft of the four-axis robot 701, and the first visual positioning component 703 is installed on the frame 1; the four-axis robot 701 is used to drive the second suction head 702 to move above the first suction head 6034, and the four-axis robot 701 continues to drive the second suction head 702 to descend to contact with the second product adsorbed on the first suction head 6034. The second suction head 702 adsorbs and fixes the second product, and the four-axis robot 701 drives the The second suction head 702 rises and continues to drive the second suction head 702 and the second product to move above the first visual positioning component 703. The first visual positioning component 703 is used to detect whether the angle of the second product is correct. The four-axis robot 701 is also used to rotate and adjust the second product based on the positioning results of the first visual positioning component 703. The four-axis robot 701 continues to drive the second suction head 702 and the second product to move above the pre-assembly module 5 and place the second product on the first product 200 on the pre-assembly module 5 to form the product to be hot-pressed. Specifically, the second product is placed on the joint 2001 of the first product 200. This allows the light side of the second product to face downward. In this embodiment, the light side of the LOGO faces the outside of the housing.

[0044] The first visual positioning component 703 is implemented based on the principles of a CCD visual positioning system and can effectively sense the shape and size of the object being inspected, thereby determining whether the shape, size, angle, etc. of the object being inspected conform to preset values. The first visual positioning component 703 can detect whether the angle of the second product is correct. If not, the four-axis robot 701 is controlled to drive the suction head to rotate to correct the angle and position of the second product. Of course, if the shape and size of the second product are not consistent, the second product will be judged as unqualified and discarded without assembly.

[0045] Further, see Figure 5 In order to recycle the unqualified second product mentioned above, the product assembly component also includes a second product recycling module 12, which is fixedly installed on the frame 1. The first visual positioning component 703 is also used to detect whether the second product is qualified. The four-axis robot 701 is also used to transport the unqualified second product to the second product recycling module 12, and the second product recycling module 12 is used to recycle the unqualified second product.

[0046] Furthermore, the pre-assembly module 5 includes a placement table 501 fixed on the frame 1, a second visual positioning component 502 and a third visual positioning component 503, the placement table 501 is used to pre-assemble the first product 200 and the second product, the second visual positioning component 502 is located at the bottom of the placement table 501, the second visual positioning component 502 is used to detect whether the placement position of the first product 200 is correct and to adjust it through the first gripping module 3, the third visual component is located above the placement table 501, and the third visual positioning component 503 is used to detect whether the gap between the first product 200 and the second product to be hot-pressed is qualified. Specifically, the second visual positioning component 502 and the third visual positioning component 503 are also implemented based on the principle of the CCD visual positioning system, and their working principle is the same as that of the first visual positioning component 703. Through the setting of the second visual positioning component 502 and the third visual positioning component 503, it can be ensured that the first product 200 and the second product can be combined more accurately, and combined with the first visual recognition component, triple positioning is achieved with very high accuracy. More specifically, when the third visual positioning component 503 detects that the gap between the first product 200 and the second product to be hot-pressed is unqualified, the product to be hot-pressed is judged to be unqualified and is directly discarded without further hot pressing.

[0047] Further, see Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 8 The hot pressing module 9 includes a second base 901 and a hot pressing assembly 902 arranged on the second base 901. The hot pressing assembly 902 includes a pressure holding fixture 9021, an inlet and outlet cylinder 9022, a downward pressure cylinder 9023, an elastic pressure head 9024, and a pressure block 9025. The pressure holding fixture 9021 and the inlet and outlet cylinder 9022 are fixedly installed on the second base 901. The inlet and outlet cylinder 9022 is located on one side of the pressure holding fixture 9021. The downward pressure cylinder 9023 is fixedly installed on the inlet and outlet cylinder 9022 and is driven in the horizontal direction by the inlet and outlet cylinder 9022. The elastic pressure head 9024 is fixedly installed on the downward pressure cylinder 9023 and is driven in the vertical direction by the downward pressure cylinder 9023. The pressure block 9025 is fixedly installed on the side of the elastic pressure head 9024. In this embodiment, the hot pressing components 902 are set to multiple. Since hot pressing is a step with a long processing cycle, multiple hot pressing products can be hot pressed at the same time by setting multiple hot pressing components 902, which effectively improves the efficiency of the entire assembly process.

[0048] The third gripping module 8 places the product to be hot-pressed on the pressure-holding jig 9021. When hot-pressing, the inlet and outlet cylinder 9022 drives the downward pressure cylinder 9023, the elastic pressure head 9024, and the pressure block 9025 to extend. The elastic pressure head 9024 is located above the second product. The downward pressure cylinder 9023 drives the elastic pressure head 9024 and the pressure block 9025 to press downward. The elastic pressure head 9024 abuts against the second product, and the pressure block 9025 abuts against the first product 200. The pressure-holding jig 9021 is heated and enters hot pressing to obtain the finished product. Specifically, the elastic pressure head 9024 is elastic and can prevent overpressure from causing damage to the product. The pressure block 9025 presses the product against the heating position of the pressure-holding jig 9021 below, which helps to better conduct heat.

[0049] Further, see Figure 5 The product assembly module further includes a buffer module 13 disposed on the frame 1. The buffer module 13 is used to buffer the first material tray 300. After the first grasping module 3 removes the first product 200 from the first loading module 2, the first grasping module 3 continues to remove empty first material trays 300 from the first loading module 2 and transports them to the buffer module 13. The buffer module 13 is capable of stacking multiple first material trays 300. Because the first material trays 300 need to be used again to recover the finished products, the buffer module 13 is required to temporarily store the first material trays 300.

[0050] Further, see Figure 9 The unloading module 10 includes a third base 1001 and a third conveyor belt 1002, a unloading position 1003, and a receiving bin 1004 provided on the third base 1001. The unloading position 1003 and the receiving bin 1004 are sequentially arranged along the movement direction of the third conveyor belt 1002. The third grabbing module 8 is also used to take the first material tray 300 out of the buffer module 13 and transport it to the unloading position 1003. The unloading position 1003 can only hold one tray at a time. The first material tray 300 is received, and the third grabbing module 8 continues to grab the finished product from the hot pressing module 9 and places it on the first material tray 300 at the unloading position 1003. The third conveyor belt 1002 is used to transport the first material tray 300 loaded with the finished product from the unloading position 1003 to the receiving bin 1004. The receiving bin 1004 can receive the first material tray 300 and stack the first material tray 300 by inserting the first material tray 300 from the bottom.

[0051] The material receiving bin 1004 includes a second lifting cylinder 1041, a second carrying plate 1042 and a gravity clamping mechanism 1043. The second lifting cylinder 1041 is fixedly mounted on the third base 1001, and the second carrying plate 1042 is driven and connected to the second lifting cylinder 1041. The gravity clamping mechanism 1043 is fixedly mounted on the third base 1001 and is located on the side of the second carrying plate 1042. When receiving materials, the third conveyor belt 1002 drives the first material tray 300 to move above the second carrying plate 1042, and the second lifting cylinder 1041 drives the second carrying plate 1042 to rise to drive the first material tray 300 to rise. The gravity clamping mechanism 1043 rotates upward and opens under the push of the first material tray 300, and the second lifting cylinder 1041 descends. The gravity clamping mechanism 1043 rotates downward to a horizontal position under the action of the gravity of the first material tray 300 to limit the first material tray 300 from continuing to descend.

[0052] The unloading position 1003 is provided to combine the finished product with the first tray 300, and then the first tray 300 is transported to the receiving bin 1004 by the third conveyor belt 1002 for stacking, thereby completing the recovery of the finished product. The receiving bin 1004 can be provided in multiple numbers, and multiple receiving bins 1004 are arranged along the third conveyor belt 1002.

[0053] In an optional embodiment, the product to be hot-pressed and the finished product may be unqualified due to various reasons, such as an unqualified gap between the first product 200 and the second product, glue overflow or debonding of the finished product, etc. Therefore, one of the receiving bins 1004 is configured as a recovery bin for unqualified products to recycle unqualified products.

[0054] The above embodiments merely represent preferred embodiments of the present invention. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art would be able to make various modifications and improvements without departing from the spirit of the present invention, all of which fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the patent for this invention shall be determined by the appended claims.
