[0037] Example

[0038] This embodiment provides a modular intelligent production line for vehicle-mounted early warning cameras to address the technical problem of low integration in existing vehicle-mounted early warning cameras. The modular intelligent production line includes a workbench 1, a PCB board transfer unit 2, a bottom shell cleaning unit 3, a camera assembly unit 4, a PCB board assembly unit 5, a shielding cover assembly unit 6, and a top cover assembly unit 7, wherein:

[0039] Workbench 1 is a long, narrow operating table. A conveyor belt 100 for transporting carrier 8 is installed along the length of workbench 1. Carrier 8 has a first placement slot for placing the bottom shell and a second placement slot for placing the PCB board. PCB board transfer unit 2 is installed on workbench 1 at the starting end of conveyor belt 100 and is used to place the PCB board into the first placement slot. Bottom shell cleaning unit 3 is installed on workbench 1 downstream of PCB board transfer unit 2 and is used to clean the bottom shell and place it into the first placement slot. Camera assembly unit 4 is installed on workbench 1 downstream of bottom shell cleaning unit 3 and is used to assemble the camera into the bottom shell. PCB board assembly unit 5 is installed on workbench 1 and is located downstream of camera assembly unit 4. Downstream, PCB board assembly unit 5 is used to assemble the PCB board in the second placement slot into the bottom shell. Shielding cover assembly unit 6 is installed on workbench 1, located downstream of PCB board assembly unit 5, and is used to assemble the shielding cover onto the PCB board. Top cover assembly unit 7 is installed on workbench 1, located downstream of shielding cover assembly unit 6, and is used to assemble the top cover onto the bottom cover. In this way, the installation of the vehicle-mounted warning camera sequentially realizes PCB board loading, bottom shell cleaning and loading, camera and bottom shell installation, PCB board and bottom shell installation, shielding cover and PCB board installation, and top cover installation. The assembly process is clear and reasonable. The vehicle-mounted warning camera is installed sequentially through the transport of carrier 8. The production line has a control system, which includes a PLC, and controls the production of each process and the movement of conveyor belt 100 through the control system.

[0040] Through the above structure, the modular intelligent production line for vehicle-mounted early warning cameras provided in this embodiment solves the technical problem of low integration in existing vehicle-mounted early warning cameras. Specifically, multiple carriers 8 are sequentially transported on conveyor belt 100, and the components on the carriers 8 are assembled according to the process to achieve mass production of cameras. The camera assembly is carried out sequentially through PCB board transfer unit 2, bottom shell cleaning unit 3, camera assembly unit 4, PCB board assembly unit 5, shielding cover assembly unit 6, and top cover assembly unit 7. Each unit has a time consumption period during production, with the longest time consumption period being the production cycle of a single camera. In mass production, the manual assembly of cameras is replaced by the mass production of the production line. The cumulative time of each assembly process is equal to the production cycle of a single camera. This improvement makes the production cycle equal to the time consumption period of the longest process, greatly improving the production efficiency of cameras. Therefore, this modular intelligent production line for cameras improves the integration of camera installation and increases camera production efficiency by integrating the installation of PCB boards, bottom shells, cameras, shielding covers, and top covers, making production more efficient and convenient.

[0041] An optional implementation of this embodiment is as follows: The bottom shell cleaning unit 3 includes a first cleaning mechanism 31, a first robotic arm 32, and a bottom shell flipping mechanism 33. The first cleaning mechanism 31 includes a first support 311, a dust collection trough 312, a brush 313, and a motor 314. The first support 311 is mounted on the workbench 1. The motor 314 and the dust collection trough 312 are respectively mounted on the first support 311. The brush 313 is rotatably mounted in the dust collection trough 312. The motor 314 and the brush 313 are connected by a drive. The first robotic arm 32 is mounted on the workbench 1 and is used to grip the bottom shell to place it on the brush 313 for cleaning or to place it in the first placement slot. The bottom shell flipping mechanism 33 includes a flipping cylinder and a suction nozzle. The flipping cylinder is mounted on the workbench 1, and the suction nozzle is mounted on the rotating part of the flipping cylinder. At the moving end, the bottom shell flipping mechanism 33 is used to flip the bottom shell taken out of the first placement slot to facilitate cleaning of the bottom shell's interior. Thus, the bottom shell cleaning unit 3 uses the first robotic arm 32 to place the bottom shell in the external bottom shell placement tray onto the flipping mechanism for flipping. Then, the first robotic arm 32 picks up the flipped bottom shell and places it into the dust collection trough 312. The motor 314 drives the brush 313 in the dust collection trough 312 to rotate to clean the interior of the bottom shell. After cleaning, the first robotic arm 32 picks up the bottom shell and places it into the flipping mechanism for flipping again. Then, the first robotic arm 32 picks it up and places it into the first placement slot. The bottom shell is fed through the first robotic arm 32 and the flipping mechanism. Only the bottom shell placement tray needs to be placed near the first robotic arm 32 manually, without manual contact with the bottom shell, thus avoiding contamination of the bottom shell.

The first screw feeder is mounted on the workbench 1, and the second robotic arm 43... 3. The screws in the first screw feeder are clamped to lock the camera and the bottom shell. In this way, the bottom shell gripper holds the bottom shell and fixes it on the first positioning fixture 41. The camera gripper holds the camera in the camera lifting plate 42 and moves it above the bottom shell. The first positioning camera 44 takes pictures to position the position between the camera and the bottom shell. The image taken by the first positioning camera 44 is processed by the image processing unit and image recognition unit connected to the first positioning camera 44. The control system of the production line adjusts the position of the camera to realize the assembly between the camera and the bottom shell. After the assembly is completed, the second robot 43 clamps the bottom shell into the first placement slot. The camera lifting plate 42 transfers the camera tray to facilitate manual loading and unloading of the camera tray to facilitate the installation of the camera.

The PCB board mechanical gripper is equipped with a positioning camera, which takes pictures and positions the PCB board to adjust the installation between the PCB board and the bottom shell. Subsequently, the third robot arm 93 picks up the ribbon cable from the ribbon cable lifting plate 91 and places it above the bottom shell.
