[0050] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions.

The use of "first" and "second" in the description is solely for the purpose of distinguishing technical features and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, implicitly specifying the number of the indicated technical features, or implicitly specifying the order of the indicated technical features.

[0053] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined, terms such as setting, installing, and connecting should be understood in a broad sense, and technicians in the relevant technical field can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific content of the technical solution.

[0054] To facilitate the description of the insulating sheet assembly device 200 and the insulating sheet assembly method of the present invention, the remote control 101 and the insulating sheet 104 are first introduced below.

[0055] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 2 The diagram shows the back of the remote control 101 without the battery 102 installed. The remote control 101 has a battery compartment 103 for installing the battery 102. The back cover of the remote control 101 for covering the battery compartment 103 is not shown. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The battery compartment 103 includes two slots 105 for accommodating the batteries 102. A spring 106 and a spring 107 are provided at each end of the slots 105. When the batteries 102 are placed in the slots 105, the negative terminal of the batteries 102 abuts against the spring 107, and the positive terminal of the batteries 102 abuts against the spring 106. The batteries 102 then power the remote control 101.

[0056] Figure 3 The shape of the insulating sheet 104 is shown. Figure 3 The insulating sheet 104 includes a gripping portion 108 and a partitioning portion 109. The insulating sheet 104 is Y-shaped, with one gripping portion 108 and two partitioning portions 109. Both partitioning portions 109 are connected to the gripping portion 108 and are spaced apart. Figures 1 to 3 Each separator 109 is used to separate a battery 102 and a spring 106, or in other words, each separator 109 is clamped by a spring 106 and a battery 102. The inserting of the insulating sheet 104 into the remote control 101 mentioned in the present invention specifically refers to inserting the separator 109 between the spring 106 and the positive electrode of the battery 102.

[0057] Next, the insulation sheet assembly device 200 of the present invention will be introduced.

[0058] Reference Figure 5 In one embodiment, the insulating sheet assembly device 200 includes a frame 201, a conveying device 204, a carrier 203, a detection device 209 and a sheet inserting device 205. The conveying device 204, the detection device 209 and the sheet inserting device 205 are all installed on the frame 201. Figure 7 and Figure 8, the carrier 203 is connected to the conveying device 204, and the carrier 203 is provided with a receiving slot 404 for receiving the remote control 101. The conveying device 204 can drive the carrier 203 to move, thereby transporting the carrier 203 to the inspection station 401 and the loading station 402 in sequence. Correspondingly, the remote control 101 on the carrier 203 will also pass through the inspection station 401 and the loading station 402 in sequence. The inspection station 401 is also equivalent to the loading station, and the user can manually install the remote control 101 on the carrier 203 of the inspection station 401. The detection device 209 is set at the inspection station 401, and the detection device 209 is used to detect whether the remote control 101 in the receiving slot 404 is installed correctly, and detect whether the battery 102 in the remote control 101 is installed correctly. "The remote control 101 is installed correctly" means that the remote control 101 is located in the receiving slot 404, the ends of the remote control 101 are not tilted, and the remote control 101 is not installed upside down; "the battery 102 is installed correctly" means that the battery 102 is installed in the battery compartment 103 and the battery 102 is not installed upside down. How the detection device 209 detects will be described in detail below with examples. Figure 6 The inserting device 205 includes an inserting drive mechanism 301 and an inserting claw 302. The inserting claw 302 is used to clamp the insulating sheet 104. More specifically, the inserting claw 302 is used to clamp the gripping portion 108 of the insulating sheet 104. The inserting drive mechanism 301 of the inserting device 205 can be configured as a multi-axis robotic arm (e.g., a six-axis robotic arm), and the inserting claw 302 of the inserting device 205 can be configured as a pneumatic claw. When the detection device 209 determines that the remote control 101 and the battery 102 are correctly installed, the conveying device 204 conveys the carrier 203 to the loading station 402. The inserting drive mechanism 301 can drive the inserting claw 302 to move, thereby inserting the insulating sheet 104 into the remote control 101 at the loading station 402. The insulating sheet assembly equipment 200 also includes a main controller (not shown), and the conveying device 204, the detection device 209 and the sheet inserting device 205 are all communicatively connected to the main controller, and the actions of the conveying device 204, the detection device 209 and the sheet inserting device 205 are all controlled by the main controller.

[0059] based on Figure 7 The working process of the insulating sheet assembly equipment 200 of the present invention is roughly as follows: the user first installs the remote control 101 on the carrier 203 (the remote control 101 has been pre-installed with a battery 102), and then the conveying device 204 conveys the carrier 203 and the remote control 101 on the carrier 203 to the inspection station 401 for inspection; after the remote control 101 and the battery 102 in the remote control 101 are inspected and qualified by the inspection device 209, the conveying device 204 conveys the remote control 101 to the loading station 402, and then the inserting device 205 inserts the insulating sheet 104 into the remote control 101 at the loading station 402.

[0060] In the prior art, when assembling the insulating sheet 104 using automated equipment, it is often difficult to efficiently insert the insulating sheet 104 into the remote control 101 because the remote control 101 or battery 102 is installed upside down or crookedly. However, the insulating sheet assembly device 200 of the present invention can first detect whether the remote control 101 and battery 102 are correctly installed, and then install the insulating sheet 104 after confirming that both are correctly installed. Therefore, the insulating sheet assembly device 200 of the present invention can reduce assembly problems caused by improper installation of the remote control 101 or battery 102, improve the assembly efficiency of the insulating sheet 104, and reduce the error rate during the assembly of the insulating sheet 104.

[0061] Reference Figure 9 In one embodiment, the detection device 209 further includes a first sensor 304, a second sensor 305, and a detection controller (not shown in the figure). The first sensor 304 and the second sensor 305 are both configured as photoelectric sensors (more specifically, they can be laser beam sensors). The first sensor 304 and the second sensor 305 are both communicatively connected to the detection controller. Figure 9 As shown, the first sensor 304 can emit a first light beam 501, and the second sensor 305 can emit a second light beam 502. The first light beam 501 and the second light beam 502 can be light visible to the naked eye or light invisible to the naked eye. The first light beam 501 and the second light beam 502 are both arranged horizontally and parallel to each other. The first light beam 501 and the second light beam 502 both span above the carrier 203 at the detection station 401. The first light beam 501 and the second light beam 502 are distributed along the length of the remote control 101 (specifically, the remote control 101 at the detection station 401).

[0062] When the first light beam 501 is blocked, the output signal of the first sensor 304 changes; when the second light beam 502 is blocked, the output signal of the second sensor 305 also changes. The detection controller can determine whether the first light beam 501 and the second light beam 502 are blocked based on the output signals of the first sensor 304 and the second sensor 305.

[0063] When the remote controller 101 is correctly installed in the receiving groove 404, the remote controller 101 will not block the first light beam 501 and the second light beam 502. Therefore, when the first light beam 501 and the second light beam 502 are not blocked, the detection controller can determine that the remote controller 101 is correctly installed. Figure 9If the first light beam 501 is blocked, it is likely that the rear end of the remote control 101 is tilted and blocking the first light beam 501, which means that the remote control 101 is not correctly installed in the receiving slot 404. If the second light beam 502 is blocked, it is likely that the front end of the remote control 101 is tilted and blocking the second light beam 502, which means that the remote control 101 is not correctly installed in the receiving slot 404. If both the first light beam 501 and the second light beam 502 are blocked, it is likely that the remote control 101 is not correctly inserted into the receiving slot 404 and the protrusion height of the remote control 101 relative to the top surface of the carrier 203 is too large, which also means that the remote control 101 is not correctly installed in the receiving slot 404.

[0064] In addition, if at least one of the first light beam 501 and the second light beam 502 is blocked, the detection controller can send an alarm instruction to the alarm of the insulating sheet assembly equipment 200 (the alarm is not shown), causing the alarm to sound an alarm to remind the user to adjust the remote control 101 or the battery 102.

[0065] In one embodiment, whether the battery 102 is correctly installed can be determined by whether the indicator light 110 on the remote control 101 is lit. Figure 4 As shown, an indicator light 110 is provided on the front of the remote control 101. After the battery 102 is installed in the battery compartment 103 (and before the insulating sheet 104 is installed), the indicator light 110 of the remote control 101 will light up when the battery 102 supplies power to the remote control 101.

[0066] Accordingly, refer to Figure 9 The detection device 209 further includes a third sensor 503, which is in communication with the "detection controller". The third sensor 503 is configured as a light sensor to detect whether the indicator light 110 is on. The bottom of the carrier 203 is provided with a plurality of light-transmitting holes (light-transmitting holes are not shown), each of which is connected to a receiving slot 404. Figure 8 As shown, after the remote control 101 is correctly installed in the receiving slot 404, the front of the remote control 101 faces downward and the back faces upward. Correspondingly, after the remote control 101 is installed in the receiving slot 404, the indicator light 110 faces downward, and the light-transmitting hole allows the light of the indicator light 110 to pass through. Figure 9 As shown, the third sensor 503 is disposed at the inspection station 401 and is located below the carrier 203 at the inspection station 401. Multiple third sensors 503 are provided, each facing a light-transmitting hole. When the battery 102 is correctly installed, the indicator light 110 will illuminate. When the third sensor 503 detects that the indicator light 110 is illuminated, the detection controller can determine that the battery 102 in the remote control 101 is correctly installed based on the detection result of the third sensor 503.

[0067] Of course, in another embodiment, in order to enable the third sensor 503 to detect whether the indicator light 110 is lit, the vehicle 203 may be entirely transparent, so that the vehicle 203 does not need to have a light-transmitting hole.

[0068] If the third sensor 503 fails to detect that the indicator light 110 is lit, the following situations may occur: (1) the remote control 101 is not installed in the receiving slot 404; (2) the battery 102 is not installed in the remote control 101; (3) the battery 102 is installed upside down (the positive and negative poles are reversed); (4) the remote control 101 is installed upside down (the front and back ends of the remote control 101 are reversed). In other words, the failure of the indicator light 110 to light up may be due to the battery 102 being installed incorrectly, or it may be due to the battery 102 being installed correctly but the remote control 101 being installed incorrectly. However, in either case, the subsequent installation of the insulating sheet 104 will be affected. Therefore, when the third sensor 503 fails to detect that the indicator light 110 is lit, the detection controller can send an alarm instruction to the alarm of the insulating sheet assembly device 200, causing the alarm to sound an alarm to remind the user to adjust the remote control 101 or the battery 102.

[0069] In one embodiment, the conveying device 204 includes a conveying drive mechanism and a turntable 303. The conveying drive mechanism can be installed inside the frame 201, which is not specifically shown in the figure. The conveying drive mechanism can be configured as a cam divider. Figure 6 and Figure 7 The carrier 203 is mounted on top of the turntable 303. Multiple carriers 203 are provided, spaced apart along the circumference of the turntable 303. A conveying drive mechanism is connected to the turntable 303, driving the turntable 303 to rotate, thereby driving the carrier 203 through different workstations. Compared to configuring the conveying device 204 in the form of a conveyor belt, using the turntable 303 to rotate the carrier 203 can save space and improve the structural compactness of the insulating sheet assembly equipment 200. In addition, to prevent the turntable 303 from blocking the third sensor 503, the turntable 303 can also be provided with a through hole for light from the indicator light 110 to pass through.

[0070] Reference Figure 7 In one embodiment, the insulating sheet assembly device 200 further includes a gap-pushing device 208 for pulling the positive electrode of the battery 102 and the elastic sheet 106 apart to form a gap 703 so that the insulating sheet 104 can be inserted between the positive electrode of the battery and the elastic sheet 106. Figure 7 As shown, the gap removal device 208 is provided at the film loading station 402. Figure 10 The gap-pulling device 208 includes a gap-pulling driving mechanism and a pusher claw 603 connected to each other. The gap-pulling driving mechanism can drive the pusher claw 603 to move up and down and to move the pusher claw 603 in the horizontal direction. Specifically, Figure 10In the embodiment, the scraping gap drive mechanism includes a mounting plate 604, a first cylinder 601, and a plurality of second cylinders 602. The first cylinder 601 can be mounted on the frame 201 and connected to the mounting plate 604. The second cylinders 602 are mounted on the mounting plate 604, and the pusher claws 603 are connected to the second cylinders 602. The first cylinder 601 is used to drive the mounting plate 604 and the second cylinders 602 to move horizontally, while the second cylinders 602 are used to drive the pusher claws 603 to move upward and downward. In this way, the scraping gap drive mechanism can drive the pusher claws 603 to move upward and downward and move horizontally.

[0071] The following combination Figure 11 and Figure 12 The working principle of the gap removal device 208 is described below. Figure 11 The battery 102 includes a main body 701 and a positive pole 702. The positive pole 702 is protruding from one end of the main body 701. The positive pole 702 is the positive pole of the battery 102. The other end of the main body 701 serves as the negative pole of the battery 102. The working process of the gap-picking device 208 is as follows. First, refer to Figure 7 The gap-picking driving mechanism drives the claw 603 to move horizontally and gradually approaches the center of the conveying device 204 (the center of the turntable 303) until the end of the claw 603 is located above the positive pole 702 of the battery 102. Then, the gap-picking driving mechanism drives the claw 603 to move downward until the claw 603 is inserted between the main body 701 of the battery 102 and the spring 106 (the state after insertion is as shown in FIG. Figure 11 Next, the gap driving mechanism drives the pusher claw 603 to move horizontally and gradually move away from the center of the conveying device 204. During this process, the positive pole 702 of the battery 102 gradually moves away from the spring 106, and the spring 107 in contact with the negative pole of the battery 102 is gradually compressed, and a gap 703 is gradually formed between the positive pole 702 and the spring 106 (the state after the gap 703 is formed is shown in FIG. 1 ). Figure 12 As shown in the figure, after the gap 703 is formed, the inserting device 205 can insert the partition 109 of the insulating sheet 104 into the gap 703. Once the insulating sheet 104 is inserted into the gap 703, the gap-pushing drive mechanism can drive the pusher claw 603 to rise, thereby separating the pusher claw 603 from the battery 102. When the pusher claw 603 no longer abuts the battery 102, the elastic force of the spring 107 causes the battery 102 to return to its original position, and the positive electrode 702 of the battery 102 and the spring 106 jointly clamp the insulating sheet 104. After the insulating sheet 104 is clamped by the positive electrode 702 and the spring 106, the inserting claw 302 releases the insulating sheet 104, and the inserting drive mechanism 301 drives the inserting claw 302 to rise and return to its original position.

[0072] Reference Figure 7In one embodiment, the insulating sheet assembly device 200 further includes an insulating sheet stripping device 206, which is disposed adjacent to the sheet inserting device 205. The insulating sheet stripping device 206 is configured to provide the sheet inserting device 205 with an insulating sheet 104 that can be grasped. The insulating sheet 104 can be torn off from the insulating sheet roll 801. The insulating sheet roll 801 is as shown in FIG. Figure 13 As shown. The insulating sheet roll 801 includes a base material 802 and an insulating sheet 104 attached to the surface of the base material 802. Figure 14 The insulating sheet stripping device 206 includes a bracket 901, a feed roller 902, a take-up roller 903, a take-up drive mechanism 904, and an abutment plate 906. Both the feed roller 902 and the take-up roller 903 are rotatably mounted on the bracket 901. The feed roller 902 is used to mount the insulating sheet roll 801. The take-up drive mechanism 904 may include a motor and is used to drive the take-up roller 903 to rotate, thereby moving the insulating sheet roll 801 from the feed roller 902 to the take-up roller 903. An abutment plate 906 is disposed between the feed roller 902 and the take-up roller 903 along the conveying direction of the insulating sheet 104. The abutment plate 906 is used to press against the insulating sheet roll 801 and bend the substrate 802, thereby separating the insulating sheet 104 from the substrate 802. The insulating sheet stripping device 206 also includes a plurality of transition rollers 905, which are used to tension the insulating sheet roll 801. The present invention does not provide a detailed description of the path by which the insulating sheet 104 is wound around the transition roller 905 , as long as the winding method can tension the insulating sheet roll 801 and allow the insulating sheet roll 801 to pass through the abutment plate 906 .

[0073] The working process of the insulation sheet stripping device 206 is described below. Figure 15 As shown, after the insulating sheet roll 801 passes through the abutment plate 906, the substrate 802 will bend, and the angle formed by the bending of the substrate 802 can be set to an acute angle. When the insulating sheet 104 attached to the substrate 802 moves to the edge of the abutment plate 906, due to the material difference between the insulating sheet 104 and the substrate 802, the insulating sheet 104 is bent to a lesser extent, and the insulating sheet 104 will gradually separate from the substrate 802 (see Figure 15 After the insulating sheet 104 is separated from the substrate 802 at the edge of the abutment plate 906 , the inserting device 205 can be transferred to the abutment plate 906 and grab the insulating sheet 104 , thereby further tearing the insulating sheet 104 off the substrate 802 .

[0074] Reference Figure 5In one embodiment, the insulating sheet assembly equipment 200 further includes a discharge conveyor belt 202 and a discharge device 207. Both the discharge conveyor belt 202 and the discharge device 207 are used to transport the remote control 101. In addition to the inspection station 401 and the loading station 402, the conveying device 204 can also drive the carrier 203 to move to the discharge station 403. That is, driven by the conveying device 204, the carrier 203 will pass through the inspection station 401, the loading station 402, and the discharge station 403 in sequence. The discharge device 207 includes a discharge drive mechanism and a discharge clamp 1003. The discharge clamp 1003 can grasp the remote control 101. The discharge drive mechanism can drive the discharge clamp 1003 to move up and down as well as to move the discharge clamp 1003 horizontally. When the discharge clamp 1003 moves horizontally, the discharge clamp 1003 can be transferred between the discharge station 403 and the discharge conveyor belt 202.

[0075] More specifically, refer to Figure 16 The blanking clamp 1003 can also be configured as a pneumatic clamp. The blanking drive mechanism can include a rodless cylinder 1001 and a lifting cylinder 1002. The rodless cylinder 1001 is mounted on the frame 201, and the blanking clamp 1003 is connected to the lifting cylinder 1002. The rodless cylinder 1001 is used to drive the lifting cylinder 1002 and the blanking clamp 1003 to move horizontally, and the lifting cylinder 1002 is used to drive the blanking clamp 1003 to move up and down.

[0076] Combine Figure 5 and Figure 7 The remote control 101 delivered to the unloading station 403 already has the insulating sheet 104 installed. Once the remote control 101 reaches the unloading station 403, the unloading gripper 1003 grabs the remote control 101 there. The unloading drive mechanism then drives the gripper 1003 to move above the unloading conveyor 202. The gripper 1003 then releases the remote control 101, allowing it to fall onto the unloading conveyor 202. The unloading conveyor 202 then transports the remote control 101, now with the insulating sheet 104 installed, away. The transported remote control 101 can then be sent to other equipment or other manual processing stations for subsequent back cover installation or packaging.

[0077] Based on the above-mentioned insulating sheet assembly device 200, the present invention also provides an insulating sheet assembly method, referring to Figure 17 In one embodiment, the method comprises the following steps:

[0078] S10: The conveying device 204 conveys the carrier 203 with the remote control 101 installed to the inspection station 401. The inspection device 209 inspects whether the remote control 101 is correctly installed on the carrier 203 and whether the battery 102 in the remote control 101 is correctly installed.

[0079] S20 : ​​If the remote control 101 and the battery 102 are installed correctly, the conveying device 204 transfers the carrier 203 to the loading station 402 , and the inserting device 205 inserts the insulating sheet 104 between the end of the battery 102 and the spring 106 of the remote control 101 .

[0080] The above method first detects whether the remote control 101 and the battery 102 are installed correctly before inserting the insulating sheet 104, and inserts the insulating sheet 104 only after confirming the installation. This method is beneficial to improving the assembly efficiency of the insulating sheet 104 and reducing the error rate.

[0081] Reference Figure 17 In one embodiment, the insulation sheet assembly method further comprises the following steps:

[0082] S11: The gap driving mechanism drives the claw 603 to be inserted between the end of the battery 102 and the spring 106;

[0083] S12 : The gap driving mechanism drives the pushing claw 603 to push the battery 102 , thereby forming a gap 703 between the battery 102 and the elastic sheet 106 for the insulating sheet 104 to be inserted.

[0084] Steps S11 and S12 are both performed after the remote control 101 is delivered to the loading station 402 and before step S20. Through steps S11 and S12, a large gap 703 can be formed between the positive electrode of the battery 102 and the elastic sheet 106, making it easier to insert the insulating sheet 104.

[0085] In some embodiments, the step of detecting whether the remote control 101 is correctly installed on the vehicle 203 in step S10 may specifically include: the detection controller collecting signals from the first sensor 304 and the second sensor 305; when the first light beam 501 and the second light beam 502 are both unblocked, the detection controller determines that the remote control 101 is correctly installed. The step of detecting whether the battery 102 is correctly installed in step S10 may specifically include: the detection controller collecting signals from the third sensor 503; when the third sensor 503 detects that the indicator light 110 is lit, the detection controller determines that the battery 102 is correctly installed.
