[0043] See also Figures 1 to 4The present invention provides a screen assembly device, which is used to assemble a screen 700 to be installed onto a shell 800 to be installed. Taking the example that the lower end of the screen 700 to be installed is provided with a flexible connector and the upper end of the shell 800 to be installed is provided with a socket 810, the screen assembly device provided by the present invention can achieve good plug-in connection between the flexible electrical connector 710 and the socket 810 while assembling the screen 700 to be installed onto the shell 800 to be installed. It can be understood that the specific types of the screen 700 to be installed and the shell 800 to be installed are not used, and they can be screens and shells on mobile terminals such as mobile phones, tablet computers, and e-books, or screens and shells on terminal devices such as laptops and televisions.

[0044] Specifically, the screen assembly device includes a base 100 , a transfer mechanism 200 , a picking mechanism 300 , a detection mechanism 400 and a clamping mechanism 500 . The base 100 is provided with an assembly station 111; the transfer mechanism 200 includes a platform 210 movably mounted on the base 100 in a direction close to and away from the assembly station 111 and a transfer driving component 220 for driving the platform 210 to move, the platform 210 is used to successively transfer the screen 700 to be installed and the shell 800 to be installed to the assembly station 111; the picking mechanism 300 includes a picking member 310 movably mounted on the base 100 in an up-and-down direction and a lifting driving component 320 for driving the picking member 310 to move, the picking member 310 is used to pick up the screen 700 to be installed at the assembly station 111 and drive the screen 700 to be installed to move up and down; the detection mechanism 400 is arranged on the base 100, and the detection mechanism 400 is used to pick up the screen 700 to be installed upward on the picking member 310. During the process, the screen 700 to be installed is detected; the clamping mechanism 500 includes a clamping member 510 movably installed on the base 100 along the up and down direction and a first driving component 520 for driving the clamping member 510 to move up and down, the clamping member 510 is located below the picking member 310, the clamping member 510 includes two clamping parts 511 movably arranged in directions approaching and moving away from each other and a second driving component 512 for driving the two clamping parts 511 to move, the two clamping parts 511 are used to clamp and fix the flexible connecting member of the screen 700 to be installed hanging between the two clamping parts 511 in the process of approaching each other, and under the drive of the first driving component 520, the clamping member 510 moves downward with the picking member 310 and drives the flexible connecting member to be inserted into the socket 810 of the shell 800 to be installed.

[0045] In the technical solution provided by the present invention, the screen 700 to be installed and the shell 800 to be installed can be loaded successively through a carrier 210, which helps to compact the structure and reduce costs; when the screen 700 to be installed is transferred to the assembly station 111, the picking piece 310 picks up the screen 700 to be installed upwards to avoid the assembly station 111 for the carrier 210 to move the shell 800 to be installed; the detection mechanism 400 detects the screen 700 to be installed during the picking process of the picking piece 310, and makes full use of the picking time, which helps to save the time occupied by the detection process and achieve a compact production cycle; when the screen 700 to be installed is tested and qualified, the two clamping parts 511 clamp and fix the flexible electrical connector 710, and when the picking piece 310 moves the screen 700 to be installed downward to the process close to the shell 800 to be installed In the process, the clamping member 510 moves downward, so that the screen 700 to be installed is assembled to the shell 800 to be installed, and the plug-in process between the flexible electrical connector 710 and the socket 810 is completed; the up and down movement of the clamping member 510 remains independent of the up and down movement of the picking member 310, so that during the downward movement of the picking member 310, the clamping member 510 can adjust the position of the clamping portion 511 of the flexible electrical connector 710 by moving upward multiple times, so that the flexible electrical connector 710 can be inserted into the socket 810 from bottom to top in sections multiple times, and the two clamping portions 511 can be used to increase the plug-in strength of the flexible electrical connector 710, thereby helping the flexible electrical connector 710 to be fully inserted into the socket 810 with an accurate posture, achieving a good plug-in between the flexible electrical connector 710 and the socket 810, and ultimately helping to improve the quality and reliability of the product.

[0046] In the present design, the base 100 includes a base, a platform 110 disposed on the upper end of the base, and a bracket 120 mounted on the platform 110 .

[0047] The base may have a storage space formed inside for storing electrical components of the screen assembly device, and may also reserve a certain space for storing other replacement components or tooling tools related to the assembly process. The bottom of the base may be provided with feet to facilitate the screen assembly device to be fixed on the ground; of course, the bottom of the base may be further provided with universal wheels, for example, to facilitate the movement of the screen assembly device.

[0048] The platform 110 is provided with an assembly station 111, which facilitates the picking mechanism 300, the detection mechanism 400, and the clamping mechanism 500 to operate at the assembly station 111 or directly above the assembly station 111. In addition, since the transfer mechanism 200 is used to successively deliver the screen 700 to be installed and the shell 800 to be installed to the assembly station 111, in order to achieve the continuity of feeding, further, the platform 110 can also be separated from the assembly station 111, for example, with Figures 2 to 3In the embodiment, a material preparation station 112 is provided behind the assembly station 111. When the carrier 210 moves to the material preparation station 112, the screen 700 to be installed and the housing 800 to be installed can be loaded by, for example, a conveyor belt, a robot arm or manual operation.

[0049] Among them, the bracket 120 is mounted on the platform 110, and according to the operating requirements of the picking mechanism 300, the detection mechanism 400 and the clamping mechanism 500, it can be configured to include multiple rods extending in the left and right directions, the front and back directions, and the up and down directions respectively, so as to facilitate the setting of structures such as guide rails and guide grooves.

[0050] Furthermore, the base 100 can also be Figure 1 The protective cover is provided at the upper end of the platform 110, and the range of the protective cover area can be set according to actual needs. For example, the assembly station 111 and the space around it can be covered.

[0051] In view of the above, the carrier 210 of the transfer mechanism 200 can transfer the screen 700 to be installed and the shell 800 to be installed. Specifically, the carrier 210 can be provided with an installation position. During the movement of the carrier 210, the carrier 210 alternately passes through the material preparation station 112, the assembly station 111 of the screen 700 to be installed, the material preparation station 112 and the assembly station 111 of the shell 800 to be installed, so as to achieve the purpose of successively sending the screen 700 to be installed and the shell 800 to be installed to the same assembly station 111.

[0052] Or see Figures 2 to 3 As in this embodiment, the carrier 210 defines a first installation position 211 and a second installation position 212 which are spaced from left to right. The first installation position 211 is used for installing the screen 700 to be installed, and the second installation position 212 is used for installing the housing 800 to be installed. It can be understood that the carrier 210 can be set as a whole, and the first installation position 211 and the second installation position 212 are defined on the whole structure; or the carrier 210 can include two carrier plates, which are linked or fixedly connected, and the two carrier plates define the first installation position 211 and the second installation position 212 respectively.

[0053] The first mounting position 211 is used for installing the screen 700 to be installed. Therefore, the carrier 210 defines a portion of the first mounting position 211 whose shape, size, etc. are set to match the shape and size of the screen 700 to be installed. Similarly, the second mounting position 212 is used for installing the shell 800 to be installed. Therefore, the carrier 210 defines a portion of the second mounting position 212 whose shape, size, etc. are set to match the shape and size of the shell 800 to be installed.

[0054] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the screen assembly device may also include a limiting mechanism, which includes a first limiting portion provided at the first installation position 211, and a second limiting portion provided at the second installation position 212, so as to stably limit the screen 700 to be installed at the first installation position 211, and stably limit the shell 800 to be installed at the second installation position 212.

[0055] Furthermore, the screen assembly equipment may also include a correction mechanism, which may include a position sensor, a posture sensor, a quality sensor, an image recognition device, etc., to sense and confirm whether the first installation position 211 / the second installation position 212 is loaded, whether the material has an accurate posture, whether the material is installed firmly, whether the material position is accurate, etc.

[0056] Next, in this embodiment, the carrier 210 is respectively arranged to be translatable in the front-to-back direction and the left-to-right direction, so that under the drive of the transfer drive component 220, the first installation position 211 is moved from back to front to the assembly station 111 and then translated to the left, so as to drive the second installation position 212 to the assembly station 111. For example, when the material preparation station 112 is located behind the assembly station 111 as described above, the initial state of the carrier 210 can be located at the material preparation station 112, and then move forward and directly move the first installation position 211 to the assembly station 111, or move forward and then move left and right to move the first installation position 211 to the assembly station 111. Then, after the picking mechanism 300 picks up the screen 700 to be installed on the assembly station 111, the carrier 210 moves left and right to move the second installation position 212 to the assembly station 111.

[0057] Based on any of the above embodiments, the pick-up member 310 is used to pick up or release the screen 700 to be installed. There are many ways to achieve the above purpose, such as by clamping, pushing and pulling, etc. However, it can be understood that since the screen 700 to be installed is generally thin and may be soft and brittle, in order to prevent the pick-up member 310 from damaging the screen 700 to be installed during the picking process, please refer to Figures 4 to 6 In one embodiment, the picking member 310 is provided with a plurality of adsorption holes 311, and the picking mechanism 300 further includes a mounting seat 330 and an air-expelling device 340, and the mounting seat 330 is movably mounted on the base 100 along the up and down directions, and the mounting seat 330 is used for fixing the air-expelling device 340 and the picking member 310, and the air-expelling device 340 is connected to each of the adsorption holes 311.

[0058] In this embodiment, the pick-up member 310 can be set to be plate-shaped, and the pick-up member 310 is provided with a through hole along its thickness direction, and a plurality of through holes are dispersed on the pick-up member 310. The through hole can directly constitute the adsorption hole 311, or a tube body is installed in the through hole, and the adsorption hole 311 is defined by the tube body. In order to form a negative pressure below the pick-up member 310 and generate an adsorption force, the upper port of the adsorption hole 311 can be set to constitute an air outlet, and the lower port of the adsorption hole 311 can be set to constitute an air inlet. The air-discharging device 340 can be specifically a fan, and the fan has an air suction side and an air outlet side. The air suction side of the fan is connected to the air outlet of each adsorption hole 311, so that when the fan sucks air, the air flow below the adsorption hole 311 enters through its air inlet and finally flows out from its air outlet, and an adsorption force is generated below the adsorption hole 311. The adsorption force is relatively soft and can adsorb the screen 700 to be installed without causing a collision with the screen 700 to be installed.

[0059] Of course, further, a flexible material layer or an elastic material layer can be provided at the air inlet of each adsorption hole 311 or on the lower end surface of the picking piece 310, which facilitates flexible contact between the screen 700 to be installed and the picking piece 310, and further improves the protective effect of the screen 700 to be installed.

[0060] The mounting base 330 can provide mounting support for the air-expelling device 340 and the picking member 310, so that the air-expelling device 340 and the picking member 310 remain fixed relative to the mounting base 330, so that during the up and down movement of the mounting base 330, the air-expelling device 340 and the picking member 310 are synchronously driven to move, and the three remain relatively still to avoid mutual pulling and motion interference.

[0061] For further information, see Figures 5 to 7 In one embodiment, the pick-up member 310 is provided with a notch 312 at each corner to be measured corresponding to the screen 700 to be installed, so that the corner to be measured is exposed upward. For example, when the screen 700 to be installed is roughly rectangular, it has four corners to be measured; the pick-up member 310 is roughly set to a rectangular shape that matches the shape and size of the screen 700 to be installed, but the four corners thereof are provided with notches 312 corresponding to the four corners to be measured, so that the top of the four corners to be measured is not blocked.

[0062] The detection mechanism 400 includes imaging devices 410 disposed one by one above each of the notches 312, and the imaging surface of the imaging device 410 is disposed downward to capture image information of each angle to be measured. It can be understood that the imaging device 410 is, for example, a camera or a camera. The number of imaging devices 410 is adapted to the number of notches 312, so that the detection process and detection results of the angle to be measured corresponding to each notch 312 remain relatively independent, ensuring accurate detection.

[0063] The imaging device 410 can capture the image information of each angle to be measured, and the required measurement results can be obtained from the image information according to actual needs. For example, when it is necessary to determine whether the posture and position of the screen to be installed 700 in the picking state are accurate through the detection mechanism 400, the image information of each angle to be measured can be matched, for example, in shape. If the shape of a certain angle to be measured is too large, too small or deformed, the posture deviation of the screen to be installed 700 corresponding to the angle to be measured can be determined to a certain extent. Or, for example, when it is necessary to determine whether the structure of the screen to be installed 700 in the picking state is complete through the detection mechanism 400, the image information of each angle to be measured can be identified. If the shape of a certain angle to be measured is missing or increased, it can be determined to a certain extent that the structure of the screen to be installed 700 is abnormal at least at the angle to be measured. Such as the above, no limitation is made.

[0064] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the detection mechanism 400 further includes an illumination device 420 which is arranged one by one between each of the notches 312 and the imaging device 410, and the illumination device 420 is arranged coaxially with the imaging device 410. The illumination device 420, for example, includes a light source, and the light emission of the light source is arranged coaxially with the imaging of the imaging device 410, so as to provide effective and appropriate light for the imaging process of the imaging device 410. The illumination device 420 may further include a lampshade, which is arranged at the periphery of the light source, so as to gather the light emitted by the light source and block the external light from interfering with the imaging process of the imaging device 410. The illumination device 420 may further include a light guide plate, which is arranged in the lampshade, for example, to guide the light of the light source or the returned imaging light in a targeted manner. The illumination device 420 may further include a mirror, and the mirror surface of the mirror may be tilted relative to the light of the light source or the returned imaging light, so as to display the angle to be measured located on the side on the mirror surface for the imaging device 410 to capture.

[0065] In one embodiment, during the vertical movement of the mounting base 330, the imaging device 410 and the lighting device 420 are fixed relative to the mounting base 330. In this way, during the process of the picking member 310 picking up the screen 700 to be mounted, the imaging device 410 and the lighting device 420 can remain relatively still relative to the screen 700 to be mounted, so that the screen 700 to be mounted can be inspected by utilizing the picking process, and the picking time and the inspection time are shared, which helps to save assembly time and speed up assembly rhythm.

[0066] Of course, the above configuration does not limit the installation method between the imaging device 410, the lighting device 420 and the mounting base 330. Specifically, the imaging device 410 and the lighting device 420 are respectively mounted on the mounting base 330 in a movable and adjustable manner along the front-back direction, the left-right direction and the up-down direction. Figures 4 to 6As shown, taking the imaging device 410 as an example, the imaging device 410 can be configured to be detachably mounted on the mounting seat 330 by the mounting frame 430. Based on this, one of the mounting frame 430 and the mounting seat 330 is respectively provided with an elongated hole extending in the left-right direction, in the front-back direction, and in the up-down direction, wherein the other corresponding elongated hole in each direction is provided with a connecting hole, and the corresponding connecting holes and the elongated holes are sequentially connected by at least three fasteners, so that the movable adjustment in the extending direction and length range of the elongated hole can be realized, and it is ensured that after the adjustment is completed, the mounting frame 430 is fixedly connected to the mounting seat 330.

[0067] Also, see Figures 6 to 8 , taking the flexible electrical connector 710 extending in the left-right direction and the multiple flexible electrical connectors 710 arranged in the left-right direction as an example. Two clamping parts 511 can be arranged to move toward and away from each other in the front-back direction, each clamping part 511 extending in the left-right direction in a longitudinal shape, and a clamping area is defined between the two clamping parts 511, and the size of the clamping area is at least not less than the layout range of each flexible electrical connector 710. Since the flexible electrical connector 710 is generally flat, the two clamping parts 511 with relatively hard materials are clamped on both sides of the flexible electrical connector 710 in the thickness direction, so that the flexible electrical connector 710 can be straightened and help increase the support strength of the flexible electrical connector 710 in this direction, so that when the flexible electrical connector 710 is inserted into the socket 810, the flexible electrical connector 710 is not easy to deform at least in this direction, and is easier to insert and form.

[0068] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the screen assembly device also includes a toggle mechanism 600, which includes a movably arranged toggle rod 610 and a toggle driving component 620 for driving the toggle rod 610 to move. The toggle rod 610 is located beside the picking member 310 and can be moved between the picking member 310 and the clamping member 510, so that during its movement, the flexible connecting member can be toggled to hang down between the two clamping parts 511.

[0069] When the pick-up member 310 picks up the screen 700 to be installed, the flexible electrical connector 710 may not be able to directly enter the above-mentioned clamping area. For example, it may be bent and overlapped at the edge of one clamping portion 511 away from the other clamping portion 511; or, even if the flexible electrical connector 710 enters the clamping area, it may be offset, bent, etc. Therefore, by setting the toggle mechanism 600, the lever 610 can bring the flexible electrical connector 710 into the clamping area when approaching the clamping area between the two clamping portions 511. And the lever 610 is generally set to be a longitudinal shape in the same direction as the clamping portion 511, that is, the same as the length direction of the flexible electrical connector 710 and the arrangement direction of the multiple flexible electrical connectors 710. Therefore, the movement of the lever 610 can simultaneously toggle multiple flexible electrical connectors 710 and smooth the flexible electrical connector 710 at least in the length direction, which is convenient for the accurate clamping of the two clamping portions 511.

[0070] Based on any of the above embodiments, according to the different motion forms of the driven object (such as the carrier 210, the pick-up member 310, the clamping member 510, the clamping portion 511, the lever 610, etc.), the specific composition of its driving components (such as the transfer driving component 220, the lifting driving component 320, the first driving component 520, the second driving component 512 and the toggle driving component 620, etc.) can be respectively set. For example, when the driven object performs a translational movement in a certain direction, the driving component can be directly set as a linear cylinder, or as a combination of a motor and a reversing component, and the reversing component can be a screw nut mechanism, a gear rack mechanism, a connecting rod mechanism, etc., without limitation. Or when the driven object performs a rotational movement, the driving component can be directly set as a motor, or as a combination of a motor and a transmission component, and the transmission component can be, for example, a gear set, a worm gear mechanism, a bevel gear set, etc., without limitation. And further, a guide rail can be set between one of the driven object and the base 100, and a guide groove can be set on the other, and the two can be guided and connected.

[0071] Based on any of the above embodiments, in order to realize the automatic intelligence of the screen assembly equipment as a whole, the screen assembly equipment also includes a control device, and the control device is electrically connected to the transfer drive component 220, the lifting drive component 320, the detection mechanism 400, the first drive component 520 and the second drive component 512 respectively. The control device is, for example, a control circuit composed of electronic components such as switches, or directly a control chip that can be compiled, etc., without limitation. The control device can control the operation start and end time, operation parameters, etc. of the transfer drive component 220, the lifting drive component 320, the detection mechanism 400, the first drive component 520 and the second drive component 512.

[0072] In addition, the present invention also provides a screen assembly method, which is performed by the above-mentioned screen assembly device, and the screen assembly method includes:

[0073] Step S100: Control the transfer driving component 220 to drive the carrier 210 to transfer the screen 700 to be installed to the assembly station 111;

[0074] Step S200: controlling the lifting driving component 320 to drive the picking component 310 to lift the screen 700 to be installed at the assembly station 111 upward, and controlling the detection mechanism 400 to detect the screen 700 to be installed;

[0075] Step S300: When the screen 700 to be installed passes the inspection, the toggle driving component 620 is controlled to drive the lever 610 to toggle the flexible electrical connector 710 on the screen 700 to be installed between the two clamping parts 511, and the second driving component 512 is controlled to clamp and fix the two clamping parts 511 at the lower part of the flexible electrical connector 710;

[0076] Step S400: controlling the transfer driving component 220 to drive the carrier 210 to transfer the housing 800 to be assembled to the assembly station 111;

[0077] Step S500: control the lifting drive component 320 to drive the picking component 310 to move the screen 700 to be installed downward to the shell 800 to be installed, and control the first drive component 520 to drive the clamping component 510 to move the flexible electrical connector 710 downward to the socket 810 partially inserted into the shell 800 to be installed, control the second drive component 512 to drive the two clamping parts 511 to move away from each other, control the first drive component 520 to drive the clamping component 510 to move upward, control the second drive component 512 to drive the two clamping parts 511 to clamp and fix on the upper part of the flexible electrical connector 710, and control the first drive component 520 to drive the clamping component 510 to move the flexible electrical connector 710 downward to the socket 810 fully inserted into the shell 800 to be installed.

[0078] In this embodiment, the control device controls:

[0079] The carrier 210 is first prepared at the material preparation station 112, and the screen 700 to be installed is installed on the first installation position 211, and it is ensured that the flexible electrical connector 710 on the screen 700 to be installed faces downward; the shell 800 to be installed is installed on the second installation position 212, and it is ensured that the socket 810 of the shell 800 to be installed faces upward, and the positions of the flexible electrical connector 710 and the socket 810 correspond.

[0080] The carrier 210 directly moves forward and backward, or moves forward and backward in combination with left and right movements, to transfer the first installation position 211 to the assembly station 111. The pick-up member 310 moves downward, adsorbs and fixes the screen 700 to be installed at the assembly station 111, and then lifts it upward for a certain distance, leaving enough space for the clamping mechanism 500 and the toggle mechanism 600 to move.

[0081] During the rising process of the pick-up member 310, the imaging device 410 and the lighting device 420 move upward synchronously, and during this process, the imaging device 410 and the lighting device 420 operate to measure and detect each corner to be measured of the screen 700 to be installed. Also, by utilizing the rising process of the pick-up member 310, the assembly station 111 is vacated, and the carrier 210 can move the second installation position 212 to the assembly station 111, that is, the housing 800 to be installed is sent directly below the screen 700 to be installed.

[0082] When the detection result does not meet the preset condition, it is determined that the screen 700 to be installed is unqualified, and a person is notified to correct the defect of the screen 700 to be installed manually or based on a related mechanical mechanism, or the defective screen 700 to be installed is removed.

[0083] When the test result meets the preset, it is determined that the screen 700 to be installed has passed the test. At this time, the clamping member 510 can be operated to move closer to the flexible electrical connector 710, and the lever 610 can be controlled to dial the flexible electrical connector 710 into the clamping area between the two clamping parts 511, and the posture of the flexible electrical connector 710 can be accurately adjusted through the dialing process. The two clamping parts 511 are close to each other to clamp and fix the flexible electrical connector 710, and the two clamping parts 511 can be clamped in the lower area of ​​the flexible electrical connector 710, so that the length of the lower section of the flexible electrical connector 710 extending downward from the clamping area is within an appropriate range, and for the convenience of understanding, it is defined as the lower plug-in section.

[0084] Next, the picking member 310 is operated to move downward, driving the screen 700 to be installed close to the shell 800 to be installed; the clamping member 510 is moved downward synchronously, and in this process, the downward movement of the clamping member 510 first inserts the lower plug-in section of the flexible electrical connector 710 into the socket 810, realizing the first stage of plugging of the flexible electrical connector 710, until the lower ends of the two clamping parts 511 are close to or abut against the part of the shell 800 to be installed located on the side of the socket 810, and then the two clamping parts 511 are operated to move away from each other and release the flexible electrical connector. 710, and then operate the clamping member 510 to move up to a suitable distance as a whole and approach each other again to achieve secondary clamping and fixing, so that the middle plug-in section connected to the lower plug-in section on the flexible electrical connector 710 is exposed; then continue to operate the clamping member 510 to move down, and continue to insert the middle plug-in section of the flexible electrical connector 710 into the socket 810 to achieve the second stage of plug-in of the flexible electrical connector 710, until the lower ends of the two clamping parts 511 are close to or abut against the part of the shell 800 to be installed located on the side of the socket 810. According to actual needs, the above-mentioned plug-in process of each stage can be repeated until the flexible electrical connector 710 is fully inserted into the socket 810, and finally the assembly of the screen 700 to be installed and the shell 800 to be installed is completed. In this way, by repeatedly operating the two clamping parts 511 to clamp, move down, release, move up, clamp, move down... and other operations, the segmented plug-in of the flexible electrical connector 710 can be achieved, thereby using the two clamping parts 511 to enhance the plug-in strength of the flexible electrical connector 710, effectively preventing the flexible electrical connector 710 from bending and deforming during the plug-in process, resulting in poor plug-in.
