[0014] The present invention also provides an operation method for a wireless earphone waterproof and breathable membrane assembly device, comprising the following steps:

[0015] Step 1: Carrier loading: When the carrier full of headphones flows into the loading and handling unit from the previous process, the first handling module drives the first clamping module to run to the carrier and clamp the carrier. Then, the first clamping module drives the carrier to run to the first streamline module and place the carrier on the first streamline module.

[0016] Step 2: After the first streamline module drives the carrier to the preset position of the second streamline module, the blocking module blocks the carrier, and at the same time the limit cylinder drives the lifting plate to rise and push the carrier out of the conveyor belt. The limit plate is used to position the carrier. The scanning module scans the QR code on the carrier, and the CCD earphone module takes a picture of the earphone inside the carrier.

[0017] Step 3: Breathable membrane feeding: The feeder feeding unit transports the breathable membrane to the preset picking position;

[0018] Step 4: Adhesion: With the assistance of the CCD material picking module, the robotic arm accurately picks up the breathable membrane from the picking position and adheres the breathable membrane to the inside of the earphone in the carrier on the second streamline module, thus completing the earphone membrane application operation.

[0019] Step 5: The limit cylinder drives the carrier downward to transport the carrier to the conveyor belt. The carrier flows into the fourth flow line module under the action of the conveyor belt. The third transport module transports part of the carrier on one fourth flow line module to another fourth flow line module.

[0020] Step 5: Pressure holding: When the carrier flows into the pressure holding module, the lifting cylinder drives the clamping plate to move upward, and the upper and lower cylinders drive the pressure holding block to move downward. The pressure holding block and the clamping plate clamp the earphone inside the carrier from the top and bottom of the carrier, respectively. The pressure holding block is used to hold pressure on the breathable membrane on the earphone, so that the breathable membrane is tightly attached to the earphone.

[0021] Step 6: The pressurized earphones flow into the film-tearing module. The second Y-axis cylinder drives the second Z-axis cylinder to move left and right, so that the suction cylinder is directly above the breathable film on the earphones. The second Z-axis cylinder drives the suction cylinder to move towards the breathable film. The suction cylinder uses the suction nozzle to pick up the release film on the outer layer of the breathable film. The clamping cylinder uses the clamping claw to clamp the picked-up release film. The second Z-axis cylinder drives the clamping cylinder to move upward to tear off the release film. Then, under the action of the second Y-axis cylinder and the second Z-axis cylinder, the clamping cylinder puts the torn release film into the waste bin.

[0022] Step 7: Unloading: The carrier is transported from the fourth streamline module to the third streamline module. The second transport module drives the second clamping module to clamp the carrier on the third streamline module and transport it to the external streamline to enter the next process.

[0023] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention includes a feeding and handling unit, a feeder feeding unit, a robotic arm, a second streamline module, an unloading and handling unit, a CCD module unit, and a pressure-holding and film-tearing unit.

The CCD module unit is used to assist each unit in accurately picking up, placing, and attaching the film. This invention utilizes the cooperation between a feeding and handling unit, a feeder feeding unit, a robotic arm, a second streamline module, an unloading and handling unit, a CCD module unit, and a pressure-holding and film-tearing unit to automatically complete operations such as feeding breathable film, feeding headphones, applying breathable film to headphones, and peeling release paper and unloading.

[0050] Example: Figure 1-14As shown, a wireless earphone waterproof and breathable membrane assembly device includes a loading and conveying unit 100, a feeder loading unit 200, a robotic arm 300, a second streamlined module 400, an unloading and conveying unit 500, a CCD module unit 600, and a pressure-holding and film-tearing unit 700. The loading and conveying unit 100 includes a first conveying module 110, a first clamping module 120, and a first streamlined module 130. The unloading and conveying unit 500 includes a second conveying module 510, a second clamping module 520, and a third streamlined module 530. The pressure-holding and film-tearing unit 700 includes a pressure-holding module 720, a film-tearing module 730, and a fourth streamlined module 740. The first clamping module 120 clamps the carrier holding the earphones on an external conveying mechanism and, driven by the first conveying module 110, places the carrier onto the first streamlined module 130. The first streamline module 130 is used to transport the carrier to the second streamline module 400. The feeder loading unit 200 is used to feed the breathable membrane. The robot arm 300 is used to pick up the breathable membrane from the feeder loading unit and attach the breathable membrane to the earphone in the carrier in the second streamline module. The second streamline module 400 is used to transport the carrier to the fourth streamline module 740. The pressure holding module 720 is used to hold the earphone in the carrier under pressure.

The CCD module unit 600 is used to take pictures of the earphone and the breathable membrane.

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, the loading and handling unit 100, the second streamlined module 400, the pressure-holding and film-tearing unit 700, and the unloading and handling unit 500 are arranged sequentially along the front-to-back direction of the equipment, and the first streamlined module, the second streamlined module, the fourth streamlined module, and the third streamlined module are connected sequentially. The feeder loading unit 200 is located to the left of the second streamlined module 400, and the robotic arm 300 is located between the feeder loading unit and the second streamlined module. The feeder loading unit 200 (as shown) Figure 4The feeder (shown) can move left and right via a drive mechanism to facilitate the loading and unloading of the breathable membrane. The feeder is a common device in this field and will not be described in detail here. During operation, the first handling module 110 controls the first clamping module 120 to transport the carrier containing the headphones to the first streamlined module 130. The first streamlined module 130 then transports the carrier to the second streamlined module 400. The second streamlined module 400 fixes the carrier to a preset assembly position. Simultaneously, the feeder unit 200 transports the breathable membrane to a preset loading position. The robotic arm 300 picks up the breathable membrane and attaches it to the headphones on the carrier in the second streamlined module 400. After the transparent film is applied, the carrier flows into the fourth streamline module 740 under the action of the second streamline module 400. The pressure holding module 720 presses the breathable film on the earphone to make it adhere tightly to the earphone. The film-tearing module peels off the release film on the outside of the breathable film. Then, the carrier flows into the third streamline module 530 under the action of the fourth streamline module 740. The second clamping module 520, under the action of the second transport module 510, transports the carrier on the third streamline module to the external conveyor flow line.

This invention has high working efficiency, high film-applying yield, and strong practicality.

[0052] like Figure 2As shown, the loading and handling unit 100 further includes a first support 101. The first handling module 110 includes a first Y-axis moving module 111 and a first Z-axis moving module 112. The first Y-axis moving module 111 is horizontally mounted on the first support 101, and the first Z-axis moving module 112 is vertically mounted on the first Y-axis moving module 111.

The first clamping module 120 moves to the carrier under the drive of the first Z-axis moving module 112 and clamps the clamp. Then, under the drive of the first Y-axis moving module 111 and the first Z-axis moving module 112, the carrier is placed on the first streamline module 130.

[0053] like Figure 3As shown, the first clamping module 120 includes a first support plate 121, a first rotary cylinder 122, a second support plate 123, a first clamping cylinder 124, and a first gripper assembly 125.

The limiting plate 407 is used to position the carrier. The barcode scanning module 408 is used to scan the QR code on the carrier. During operation, when the carrier flows from the first streamline module 130 into the preset position of the second streamline module, the blocking block in the blocking module extends to block the carrier. Then, the limit cylinder drives the lifting plate 406 to raise the carrier to the preset installation position. The upper end of the carrier is pressed by the limit plate 407, which separates the carrier from the conveyor belt 402. The robot picks up the breathable membrane from the feeder unit 200 and attaches it to the earpiece of the carrier at that position.

When the assembled carrier flows into one of the fourth flow line modules 740, the third transport module 710 transports a portion of the carrier to the other fourth flow line module so that the pressure holding module and the film tearing module on both flow lines can operate the earphone in the carrier at the same time. During operation, the first Y-axis cylinder 712 can drive the first Z-axis cylinder and other components to move left and right, the first Z-axis cylinder can drive the third rotary cylinder 716 and other components to move up and down, the third rotary cylinder 716 can drive the third gripper cylinder 717 to rotate, and the third gripper cylinder 717 can control the opening and closing of the third gripper group 718 to clamp or release the carrier.

[0059] like Figure 13-14As shown, the pressure holding module 720 includes a sixth bracket 721 and a lifting cylinder 722 and an upper and lower cylinder 724 mounted on the sixth bracket. The lifting cylinder 722 is mounted below the upper and lower cylinders 724 and a clamping plate 723 is mounted on the lifting cylinder. A pressure holding block 725 is mounted on the upper and lower cylinders 724. The film tearing module 730 includes a seventh bracket 731 and a waste cylinder 736. A second Y-axis cylinder 732 is mounted on the seventh bracket 731. A second Z-axis cylinder 733 is connected to the second Y-axis cylinder 732. A film suction cylinder 734 and a film clamping cylinder 735 are mounted on the second Z-axis cylinder 733. When the carrier flows into the pressure-holding module 720 through the fourth streamline module 740, the lifting cylinder 722 drives the clamping plate 723 to move upward, and the upper and lower cylinders 724 drive the pressure-holding block 725 to move downward. The pressure-holding block and the clamping plate clamp the earphones inside the carrier from the top and bottom, respectively. The pressure-holding block 725 applies pressure to the breathable membrane on the earphones, making the breathable membrane tightly adhere to the earphones. The pressurized earphones flow into the film-tearing module 730, and the second Y-axis cylinder 732 drives the second Z-axis cylinder 733 to move left and right, so that the film-suction cylinder 734 is positioned... Directly above the breathable membrane on the earphone, the second Z-axis cylinder 733 drives the film suction cylinder 734 to move towards the breathable membrane. After the film suction cylinder uses a suction nozzle to pick up the release film on the outer layer of the breathable membrane, the film clamping cylinder 735 uses a clamping claw to clamp the picked-up release film. The second Z-axis cylinder 733 drives the film clamping cylinder to move upward and tear off the release film. Under the action of the second Y-axis cylinder and the second Z-axis cylinder, the film clamping cylinder puts the torn release film into the waste cylinder 736. Finally, the carrier is transported from the fourth streamline module 740 to the third streamline module 530.

[0060] The operating method of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0061] Step 1: Carrier loading: When the carrier full of headphones flows into the loading and handling unit from the previous process, the first handling module 110 drives the first clamping module 120 to run to the carrier and clamp the carrier, and then drives the first clamping module 120 to run together with the carrier to the first streamline module 130 and place the carrier on the first streamline module 130.

[0062] Step 2: After the first streamline module 130 drives the carrier to the preset position of the second streamline module 400, the blocking module 404 blocks the carrier. At the same time, the limiting cylinder 405 drives the lifting plate 406 to rise and push the carrier out of the conveyor belt 402. The limiting plate 407 positions the carrier. The scanning module 408 scans the QR code on the carrier, and the CCD earphone module 603 takes a picture of the earphone inside the carrier.

[0063] Step 3: Breathable membrane feeding: The feeder feeding unit 200 conveys the breathable membrane to the preset picking position;

[0064] Step 4: Adhesion: With the assistance of the CCD material handling module 601, the robotic arm 300 accurately picks up the breathable membrane from the material handling position and adheres the breathable membrane to the inside of the earphone in the carrier on the second streamline module 400, thus completing the earphone film application operation.

[0065] Step 5: The limit cylinder 405 drives the carrier downward to transport the carrier to the conveyor belt 402. The carrier flows into the fourth flow line module 740 under the action of the conveyor belt. The third transport module 710 transports part of the carrier on one fourth flow line module to another fourth flow line module.

[0066] Step 5: Pressure holding: When the carrier flows into the pressure holding module 720, the lifting cylinder 722 drives the clamping plate 723 to move upward, and the upper and lower cylinders 724 drive the pressure holding block 725 to move downward. The pressure holding block and the clamping plate clamp the earphone inside the carrier from the top and bottom of the carrier, respectively. The pressure holding block 725 is used to hold the pressure on the breathable membrane on the earphone, so that the breathable membrane is tightly attached to the earphone.

[0067] Step 6: The pressurized earphones flow into the film-tearing module 730. The second Y-axis cylinder 732 drives the second Z-axis cylinder 733 to move left and right, so that the suction cylinder 734 is directly above the breathable film on the earphones. The second Z-axis cylinder 733 drives the suction cylinder 734 to move towards the breathable film. After the suction cylinder uses the suction nozzle to suck up the release film on the outer layer of the breathable film, the clamping cylinder 735 uses the clamping claw to clamp the sucked-up release film. The second Z-axis cylinder 733 drives the clamping cylinder to move upward to tear off the release film. Then, under the action of the second Y-axis cylinder and the second Z-axis cylinder, the clamping cylinder 735 puts the torn release film into the waste cylinder 736.

[0068] Step 7: Unloading: The carrier is transported from the fourth streamline module 740 to the third streamline module 530. The second transport module 510 drives the second clamping module 520 to clamp the carrier on the third streamline module 530 and transport it to the external streamline to enter the next process.
