Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0027] See Figures 1 to 4 According to an embodiment of the present invention, an assembly structure is provided, including an installation component 1, on which a first connecting portion 11 is provided; an assembly component 2, on which a second connecting portion 21 is provided; a positioning component 3, the positioning component 3 including a first positioning component 31 and a second positioning component 32 corresponding to the first positioning component 31; the first positioning component 31 is used to connect to the first connecting portion 11, and the second positioning component 32 is used to connect to the second connecting portion 21; and a transfer component 4, on which the positioning component 3 and the transfer component 4 are movably connected; the transfer component 4 is movably connected to the installation component 1 to drive the first positioning component 31 to connect to the first connecting portion 11, thereby driving the assembly component 2 on the second positioning component 32 to connect to the installation component 1.
[0028] With the above configuration, the assembly structure of this embodiment can quickly locate and grasp the assembly component 2 and place it in the inspection area of the automatic selection device. First, the assembly component 2 is clamped by the second positioning component 32. Then, the first positioning component 31 contacts the part of the mounting component 1 for positioning. During the process of the first positioning component 31 contacting the first connecting part 11, it drives the second connecting part 21 and the assembly component 2 to move to the target position, achieving the effect of fast, efficient and accurate positioning. This frees up manual labor, improves operating efficiency, and solves the technical problem in related technologies that manual placement of materials cannot be accurate and fast.
[0029] In the assembly structure of this embodiment, see Figures 1 to 4 The transfer assembly 4 includes a guide plate 41 on which a moving track 411 is provided; the first positioning component 31 and the second positioning component 32 are respectively movably connected to the moving track 411. In this way, the first positioning component 31 and the second positioning component 32 can move on the moving track 411, thereby driving the assembly component 2 to move and thus accurately locate the workpiece.

In this way, by opening or closing the piston rod of the drive cylinder 45, the first positioning component 31 and the second positioning component 32 are brought closer or further apart, thereby driving the first positioning component 31 and the second positioning component 32 to clamp or release the assembly component 2.
[0031] Specifically, in this embodiment, the assembly structure uses the opening and closing of the cylinder to drive the movement of the first positioning component 31 and the second positioning component 32 to satisfy the clamping of the product assembly component 2. When the cylinder is closed, the first positioning component 31 and the second positioning component 32 provide left and right positioning for the product assembly component 2 based on the contour position.

[0034] With the above configuration, the first connecting hole 3111 and the second connecting hole 3112 can securely connect the first positioning component 31. Furthermore, the first positioning part 3132 is spaced apart from the guide plate 41, providing operable space for the connection operation.
[0035] Specifically, fasteners are inserted into the first connecting hole 3111 and the first positioning hole 3121, and fasteners are inserted into the second connecting hole 3112 and the second positioning hole 3131, thereby realizing the connection between the first slider 311 and the first positioning component 31.
[0036] In the assembly structure of this embodiment, see Figure 2 The second slider 321 is provided with a third connecting hole 3211 and a fourth connecting hole 3212. The third connecting hole 3211 is located on the side of the fourth connecting hole 3212 that is close to the moving track 411. The second positioning component 32 includes: a third positioning body 322, which is provided with a third positioning hole 3221 that mates with the third connecting hole 3211; and a fourth positioning body 323, which is provided with a fourth positioning hole 3231 that mates with the fourth connecting hole 3212.

Furthermore, the second positioning component is spaced apart from the guide plate 41, providing operable space for the connection operation.
[0038] Specifically, fasteners are inserted into the third connecting hole 3211 and the third positioning hole 3221, and fasteners are inserted into the fourth connecting hole 3212 and the fourth positioning hole 3231, thereby realizing the connection between the second slider 321 and the second positioning component 32.
[0039] See Figure 2 In the assembly structure of this embodiment, the first positioning component 31 is provided with a positioning groove 315, and a positioning member 314 is provided on the side wall of the positioning groove 315. The positioning member 314 is telescopically provided. The first connecting part 11 is a cubic structure, and a slot 111 is provided on the first connecting part 11. When the first connecting part 11 is inserted into the positioning groove 315, the positioning member 314 is inserted into the slot 111.
[0040] Specifically, the positioning element 314 is a glass bead.
[0041] In the assembly structure of this embodiment, see Figure 2 There are two positioning elements 314, which are respectively disposed on the two opposite side walls of the positioning groove 315.

[0043] In order to ensure a stable connection between the assembly component 2 and the positioning component 3, in the assembly structure of this embodiment, the assembly component 2 includes a rack plate 22, on which a rack portion is provided; the second connecting portion 21 is connected to the rack plate 22, and the second connecting portion 21 has a plate-like structure; when the second positioning component 32 is in the connected state, the second connecting portion 21 is interference-fitted between the two opposite side walls of the connecting groove 324.
[0044] In some embodiments, the positioning component 3 is made of bakelite, and a post can be added in the middle to position the assembly component 2. The friction between bakelite and the key hole of the assembly component 2 is lower than that between steel, which improves the positioning strength and reduces the damage to the assembly component 2.
