[0080] The present application will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments. It can be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application, but not to limit the present application. In addition, it should be noted that, in order to facilitate the description, only the parts related to the present application are shown in the drawings, but not all the structures.

[0081] In the description of the present application, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected", "connected", "fixed" should be understood broadly, for example, it can be fixedly connected, or it can be detachably connected, or it can be integrated; it can be mechanically connected, or it can be electrically connected; it can be directly connected, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium; it can be the internal communication of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements.

[0082] In the present application, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "on" or "under" of the first feature to the second feature can include that the first and second features are in direct contact, or that the first and second features are not in direct contact but are in contact through another feature between them. Moreover, "on", "above" and "above" of the first feature to the second feature includes that the first feature is directly above and obliquely above the second feature, or only indicates that the horizontal height of the first feature is higher than that of the second feature. "Below", "below" and "below" of the first feature to the second feature includes that the first feature is directly below and obliquely below the second feature, or only indicates that the horizontal height of the first feature is less than that of the second feature.

[0083] In the description of the present embodiment, the terms "up", "down", "left", "right" and other orientation or position relationship are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present application. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish in description and have no special meaning.

[0084] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The contactor includes, but is not limited to, a base 200 and an edge cover 100, one base 200 is provided with two edge covers 100, and the two edge covers 100 are respectively a first edge cover 110 and a second edge cover 120. The two sides of the base 200 are respectively provided with a first mounting position 220 and a second mounting position 240, the first edge cover 110 is mounted at the first mounting position 220, and the second edge cover 120 is mounted at the second mounting position 240. The bottom side of the first mounting position 220 is provided with a first slot, and the bottom end of the first edge cover 110 is inserted into the first slot during assembly; The bottom side of the second mounting position 240 is provided with a second slot 230, and the bottom end of the second edge cover 120 is inserted into the second slot 230 during assembly.

[0085] During assembly, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the base 200 is transported by the base conveying line 6, and the base 200 stops at the first station 64 for assembling the first side cover 110. After the first side cover 110 is assembled, the base 200 continues to move forward to the second station 65 for assembling the second side cover 120. The first side cover 110 and the second side cover 120 have the same structure, and the first side cover 110 and the second side cover 120 are distinguished only for the convenience of describing the assembly of the two side covers 100.

[0086] Specifically, as shown in the figure, Figure 3 The base conveying line 6 includes a conveying track 61, a fork lever assembly 62, and an elastic member 63. The conveying track 61 is used to carry a plurality of bases 200. The conveying track 61 is provided with a sliding groove 611 on both sides, and the base 200 can slide in the sliding groove 611 along the extension direction of the conveying track 61. The fork lever assembly 62 is arranged in the gap in the middle of the conveying track 61. The fork lever assembly 62 includes a fork lever 621 and a fork lever driving member 622. The fork lever driving member 622 can drive the fork lever 621 to move vertically relative to the support surface of the conveying track 61, i.e., to move up and down, so as to insert into both sides of the base 200 to position the base 200 or avoid the base 200. In addition, the fork lever driving member 622 can drive the fork lever 621 to move along the extension direction of the conveying track 61, i.e., to move forward and backward, so that the base 200 can slide along the conveying track 61 for conveying the base 200.

[0087] The elastic member 63 is arranged on one side of the conveying track 61. The elastic member 63 extends into the sliding groove 611 and can elastically abut against the base 200, so that the base 200 can be positioned against the other side of the conveying track 61. The elastic member 63 is preferably an elastic brake pad. When the base 200 passes through, the elastic brake pad is compressed to avoid the base 200, and at the same time, an abutting force is generated on the base 200. In addition, it should be noted that a plurality of fork levers 621 and elastic members 63 are arranged to convey and position a plurality of bases 200 on the conveying track 61.

[0088] The conveying track 61 is arranged to receive the base 200 processed in the previous process, and the fork lever 621 is arranged to push the base 200 to move forward along the conveying track 61 to the first station 64 and the second station 65 for inserting the side cover 100. In addition, the two fork levers 621 are arranged to clamp the front and rear sides of the base 200, and at the same time, the fork levers 621 can position the base 200 front and rear. The elastic member 63 is arranged on one side of the conveying track 61 to abut against the base 200 on the other side of the conveying track 61, and further positions the base 200 left and right. On this basis, the width of the conveying track 61 can be set to be greater than the width of the base 200, so that the base 200 can move smoothly in the conveying track 61 without being stuck due to processing errors and the like.

[0089] The side cover 100 and the base 200 are mainly connected by clamping. Taking the first side cover 110 as an example, referring to Figure 2 , one side of the base 200 is provided with a first mounting position 220, the upper end of the first mounting position 220 is provided with a wall hanging portion 210, and the lower end is provided with a first slot. The upper end of the first side cover 110 needs to be hung on the wall hanging portion 210 of the base 200, and the lower end of the first side cover 110 needs to be inserted into the first slot. Since the two sides of the side cover 100 are provided with protrusions 1102, recesses are correspondingly provided on the base 200, and the width of the recesses is basically the same as that of the protrusions 1102. When the first side cover 110 is installed, the protrusions 1102 need to be horizontally inserted into the recesses. Therefore, the side cover 100 cannot be directly inserted into the base 200 from top to bottom, which increases the assembly difficulty of the first side cover 110. Similarly, the other side of the base 200 is provided with a second mounting position 240, the upper end of the second mounting position 240 is provided with a wall hanging portion 210, and the lower end is provided with a second slot 230. The upper end of the second side cover 120 needs to be hung on the wall hanging portion 210 of the base 200, and the lower end of the second side cover 120 needs to be inserted into the second slot 230.

[0090] In order to assemble the first side cover 110 and the second side cover 120 on the base 200, the embodiment provides an assembly device which is erected above the conveying track 61 to assemble the first side cover 110 and the second side cover 120.

[0091] Specifically, as shown in Figure 4 , the assembly device includes a first assembly module 2, a first shaping module 3, a second assembly module 4, and a second shaping module 5. The first assembly module 2 is used to pick up the first side cover 110 and adjust the posture of the first side cover 110. The first shaping module 3 is used to press the first side cover 110 so that the bottom end of the first side cover 110 adjusted in posture is aligned with the first slot on the base 200. The first assembly module 2 is also used to drive the first side cover 110 which has been aligned with the first slot on the base 200 to move and be assembled on the first mounting position 220 of the base 200. The second assembly module 4 is used to pick up the second side cover 120 and adjust the posture of the second side cover 120. The second shaping module 5 is used to press the second side cover 120 so that the bottom end of the second side cover 120 is aligned with the second slot 230 on the base 200. The second assembly module 4 is also used to drive the second side cover 120 which has been aligned with the second slot 230 on the base 200 to move and be assembled on the second mounting position 240 of the base 200.

[0092] During assembly, the first side cover 110 is first picked up by the first assembly module 2 and the posture of the first side cover 110 is adjusted. Figure 4The first side cover 110 is assembled at the first mounting position 220 on the left side of the base 200, and the second side cover 120 is assembled at the second mounting position 240 on the right side of the base 200. Taking the first side cover 110 as an example, when the first assembly module 2 picks up the first side cover 110, the first side cover 110 is in a vertical state, the top end of the first side cover 110 (hanging on the wall 210 of the base 200) faces backward, and the bottom end of the first side cover 110 (inserted into the first slot of the base 200) faces forward. The first assembly module 2 adjusts the posture of the first side cover 110 by rotating the first side cover 110 counterclockwise by 90°, so that the top end of the first side cover 110 faces the wall 210 at the first mounting position 220 of the base 200, and the bottom end of the first side cover 110 is parallel to the first slot. The first shaping module 3 is arranged on the left side of the base 200, and the first side cover 110 is squeezed to the right so that the bottom end of the first side cover 110 is aligned with the first slot on the base 200.

[0093] When the second assembly module 4 picks up the second side cover 120, the posture of the second side cover 120 is the same as that of the first side cover 110. When the second assembly module 4 adjusts the posture of the second side cover 120, the second side cover 120 is rotated clockwise by 90°, so that the top end of the second side cover 120 faces the wall 210 at the second mounting position 240, and the bottom end of the second side cover 120 is parallel to the second slot 230. The second shaping module 5 is arranged on the right side of the base 200, and the second side cover 120 is squeezed to the left so that the bottom end of the second side cover 120 is aligned with the second slot 230 on the base 200. The specific posture adjustment process will be described later when the specific structures of the first assembly module 2 and the second assembly module 4 are introduced.

[0094] The first assembly module 2 picks up the first side cover 110 and adjusts the posture of the first side cover 110 to a suitable assembly posture, and drives the first side cover 110 to move to the first mounting position 220 for assembly. The first shaping module 3 squeezes the first side cover 110 to cause a slight deformation of the bottom end of the first side cover 110, so that the bottom end of the first side cover 110 is aligned with the first slot on the base 200. Finally, the first assembly module 2 drives the second side cover 120 to move to the base 200 for complete assembly. Then, the second assembly module 4 picks up the second side cover 120 and performs the same assembly process as the first side cover 110 to complete the assembly of the second side cover 120. In this process, no manual intervention is required, which improves the assembly efficiency and assembly quality, and is also conducive to ensuring the consistency of the assembly effect.

[0095] It should be noted that, since a plurality of bases 200 are conveyed on the base conveying line 6, the plurality of bases 200 are conveyed to the first station 64 and the second station 65 in sequence, and the assembly of the first side cover 110 and the second side cover 120 is sequentially performed. After one base 200 is assembled with the first side cover 110 at the first station 64, it flows into the second station 65 for assembly of the second side cover 120, while the next base 200 reaches the first station 64. Therefore, the first station 64 and the second station 65 can work synchronously, which is beneficial to improve the assembly efficiency.

[0096] Further, the material distribution module 1 is used for feeding the first side cover 110 and the second side cover 120. The material distribution module 1 is arranged on the left side of the base conveying line 6, and of course can be arranged on the right side, which can be reasonably arranged according to the working scene. As shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 The material distribution module 1 includes a material distribution jig 11 and a material distribution driving member 12. The material distribution jig 11 is provided with a first profiling groove 111 and a second profiling groove 112 in the first direction (front-rear direction) at intervals. The first side cover 110 is fed into the first profiling groove 111, and the second side cover 120 is fed into the second profiling groove 112. The driving end of the material distribution driving member 12 is connected to the material distribution jig 11, which can drive the material distribution jig 11 to move back and forth. Moving backward makes the first side cover 110 close to the first assembly module 2, and moving forward makes the second side cover 120 close to the second assembly module 4. The material distribution driving member 12 can be a pen-type pneumatic cylinder. Optionally, the material distribution module 1 further includes a floating joint 17, and the driving end of the material distribution driving member 12 is flexibly connected to the material distribution jig 11 through the floating joint 17.

[0097] Optionally, the inner baffle 16 is provided with a reflective optical fiber for detecting whether there is a side cover 100 in the first profiling groove 111 and the second profiling groove 112. When the material distribution jig 11 moves to the right side, the first profiling groove 111 on the left side starts feeding. When the material distribution jig 11 moves to the left side, the second profiling groove 112 on the right side starts feeding. When feeding on one side, the corresponding reflective optical fiber detects the in-position signal of the side cover 100, while the reflective optical fiber on the other side cannot detect the in-position signal of the side cover 100. At this time, the material distribution driving member 12 will act to drive the material distribution jig 11 to convey the side cover 100. When the side cover 100 on one side is taken away, the reflective optical fiber detects no signal, and the other side should have completed the feeding of the side cover 100. The corresponding reflective optical fiber will detect the in-position signal, and at this time, the material distribution driving member 12 will act to drive the material distribution jig 11 to move reversely.

[0098] Optionally, as shown in Figure 5As shown, the material distribution module 1 further comprises a mounting base plate 13, an outer baffle 15 and two inner baffles 16. The mounting base plate 13 is provided with a sliding rail 14, and the material distribution jig 11 can slide along the sliding rail 14 to make the movement of the material distribution jig 11 smoother. The fixed end of the material distribution driving member 12 is installed on the mounting base plate 13 through a cylinder mounting seat 18. The outer baffle 15 extends in the front-rear direction and is arranged on the mounting base plate 13. The outer baffle 15 is located on the side of the material distribution jig 11 away from the base 200, and the material distribution jig 11 can slide relative to the outer baffle 15. The outer baffle 15 is provided with an avoiding slot 151, and the first side cover 110 and the second side cover 120 can be loaded onto the material distribution jig 11 through the avoiding slot 151. The side cover 100 can be loaded into the avoiding slot 151 in the form of a conveying belt.
