Then, the assembly dispensing equipment 3 dispenses and fixes the connection between the assembly part and the workpiece according to the dispensing position information.

[0080] The application continuously supplies workpieces by the workpiece feeding device 1, continuously supplies assembly parts by the assembly part feeding and discharging device 2, installs the assembly parts on the workpieces by the assembly dispensing equipment 3 and performs dispensing fixation, so that the whole assembly and dispensing process is automated, the efficiency of assembly and dispensing is improved, the installation precision between the assembly parts and the workpieces is high, the stress is uniform, the automatic assembly can be performed on the workpieces according to the installation quantity and installation angle requirements, the identification mechanism 27 can identify the respective dispensing position information of different assembly parts, identification is not required before each dispensing, and the production speed is improved.

[0081] As Figures 2 to 13 The workpiece feeding device 1 comprises a feeding mechanism 11, a movement mechanism 12, a carrying mechanism 13 and a turnover transfer mechanism 14, the feeding mechanism 11 is used for conveying a workpiece tray assembly 114, the workpiece tray assembly 114 is placed with workpieces to be processed, the movement mechanism 12 can take out the workpiece tray assembly 114 from the feeding mechanism 11 and drive the workpiece tray assembly 114 to move to a workpiece grabbing position along the z direction, the carrying mechanism 13 is used for grabbing workpieces from the workpiece tray assembly 114, and the turnover transfer mechanism 14 is used for receiving workpieces from the carrying mechanism 13 along the z direction and driving the workpieces to move to the next operation process along the x direction and also turning the workpieces to the required angle of the next process. The number of workpiece tray assemblies 114 is multiple, and multiple workpiece tray assemblies 114 are arranged in the frame 111.

[0082] The application can take out the workpiece tray assembly 114 from the feeding mechanism 11 by the movement mechanism 12, and put the empty workpiece tray assembly 114 back into the feeding mechanism 11, so that two functions of taking and recycling can be realized by one mechanism; the workpieces can be automatically grabbed from the workpiece tray assembly 114 by the carrying mechanism 13; the turnover transfer mechanism 14 is modularly and integrally arranged, which not only can realize workpiece turnover but also can realize workpiece conveying, improves production efficiency, and the integrated arrangement is also beneficial to reducing the structural space of the equipment. Therefore, the automatic feeding of the workpieces can be realized by the cooperation of the feeding mechanism 11, the movement mechanism 12, the carrying mechanism 13 and the turnover transfer mechanism 14, which not only can improve the work efficiency but also can reduce the manual work intensity.

[0083] As Figures 4 to 7As shown, the moving mechanism 12 comprises a drag load assembly 121 capable of extracting the workpiece tray assembly 114 from the frame 111 and a z-direction moving assembly 122 connected with the drag load assembly 121 and capable of moving the drag load assembly 121 along the z-direction. The drag load assembly 121 comprises a first support plate 1211 connected with the z-direction moving assembly 122, a first driving member 1212, a first guide member 1213 and a second guide member 1214 arranged on the first support plate 1211, the first guide member 1213 and the second guide member 1214 being respectively arranged on two sides of the first driving member 1212, and a second support plate 1215 connected with the first driving member 1212 and connected with the first guide member 1213 through a first connecting plate 1216 and connected with the second guide member 1214 through a second connecting plate 1217.

[0084] The first support plate 1211 is further provided with a guide block 1219 arranged on each side of the first support plate 1211, and the two guide blocks 1219 are respectively arranged at one end of the first guide member 1213 and the second guide member 1214, and the guide block 1219 can support the first connecting plate 1216 and the second connecting plate 1217.

[0085] The moving mechanism 12 of the present application can not only extract the workpiece tray assembly 114 from the incoming material mechanism 11, but also can send the empty workpiece tray assembly 114 back to the incoming material mechanism 11 after the workpieces in the workpiece tray assembly 114 are grabbed by the carrying mechanism 13. Thus, the workpiece tray assembly 114 can be extracted and sent back through one mechanism, which is beneficial to improve the utilization rate of the equipment space and reduce the overall volume and size of the equipment.

[0086] For example, the second support plate 1215 is provided with a pushing assembly 1218 near one side of the workpiece tray assembly 114. The pushing assembly 1218 comprises a pushing cylinder 12181 and a pushing block 12182 connected to the output end of the pushing cylinder 12181. It should be noted that the length of the second support plate 1215 is smaller than that of the first support plate 1211, so that most of the first connecting plate 1216 and the second connecting plate 1217 are used to place the workpiece tray assembly 114, and the remaining part of the first connecting plate 1216 and the second connecting plate 1217 is used to install the second support plate 1215. The second support plate 1215 is also provided with a photoelectric sensing mounting piece 12151 and a second photoelectric sensor 12152 near one side of the workpiece tray assembly 114, and the second photoelectric sensor 12152 is used to detect whether the workpiece tray assembly 114 is successfully taken out. After the workpiece tray assembly 114 is extracted from the frame 111 by the dragging assembly 121, the pushing assembly 1218 can fine-tune the position of the workpiece tray assembly 114. After fine-tuning the position of the workpiece tray assembly 114, the handling mechanism 13 can easily grasp the workpiece.

[0087] For example, the first support plate 1211 is also provided with a first limiting block 12111 and a second limiting block 12112, which are respectively located on both sides of the first support plate 1211. The first limiting block 12111 and the second limiting block 12112 are oppositely arranged, and the line connecting the first limiting block 12111 and the second limiting block 12112 is parallel to the first driving member 1212. The lower surface of the second support plate 1215 is provided with a third limiting block 12153. When the second support plate 1215 moves towards the frame 111, the cooperation of the first limiting block 12111 and the third limiting block 12153 can limit the movement distance of the second support plate 1215; when the second support plate 1215 moves away from the frame 111, the cooperation of the second limiting block 12112 and the third limiting block 12153 can limit the movement distance of the second support plate 1215. The first limiting block 12111 and the second limiting block 12112 are also provided with a buffer structure 12113.

[0088] Specifically, the z-direction movement assembly 122 comprises a bottom plate 1221 and a sliding plate 1225, the second driving member 1222, the third guide member 1223 and the fourth guide member 1224 are installed on the bottom plate 1221, the third guide member 1223 and the fourth guide member 1224 are respectively located on the two sides of the second driving member 1222, the sliding plate 1225 is connected with the second driving member 1222, one end of the sliding plate 1225 is connected with the third guide member 1223, the other end of the sliding plate 1225 is connected with the fourth guide member 1224, and the sliding plate 1225 is connected with the first support plate 1211. The bottom plate 1221 is fixedly connected with the shell mechanism 15. For example, the third guide member 1223 and the fourth guide member 1224 are guide rails, and the two ends of the sliding plate 1225 are connected with the third guide member 1223 and the fourth guide member 1224 through the high blocks 1228 respectively.

[0089] For example, the bottom plate 1221 is further provided with two fourth limiting blocks 12212, the positions of the two fourth limiting blocks 12212 correspond to the positions of the two high blocks 1228, and when the sliding plate 1225 moves downward to the lowermost end, the fourth limiting blocks 12212 can prevent the sliding plate 1225 from moving excessively. For example, one side of the high block 1228 on the third guide member 1223 is provided with a first photoelectric baffle 12281, and the bottom plate 1221 is provided with three first photoelectric limiters 1229 at the position on the side of the third guide member 1223, one of the first photoelectric limiters 1229 is located at the bottom of the bottom plate 1221, and the other two first photoelectric limiters 1229 are located at the top of the bottom plate 1221, when the high block 1228 moves up and down, the first photoelectric baffle 12281 can be driven to move up and down, when the first photoelectric baffle 12281 is just located in the first photoelectric limiter 1229, a signal can be triggered to limit the limit position of the sliding plate 1225 moving up and down.

When the first clamping jaw 13421 and the second clamping jaw 13422 move close to each other, the workpiece can be clamped.

[0093] The buffer module 1343 comprises a buffer plate 13431, a buffer 13432 and a pressing plate 13433. The buffer plate 13431 is connected with the jaw cylinder 1342.

The other end of the buffer 13432 is connected with the pressing plate 13433. For example, the number of the buffer plate 13431 is two. The number of the buffer 13432 is four. Two buffers 13432 are arranged on one buffer plate 13431. The other two buffers 13432 are arranged on the other buffer plate 13431. The two buffer plates 13431 are respectively installed on the two sides of the jaw cylinder 1342. The pressing plate 13433 is located between the first jaw 13421 and the second jaw 13422. When the clamping assembly 134 is used to clamp the workpiece, the clamping assembly 134 is moved to the top of the workpiece through the y-direction moving assembly 131 and the x-direction moving assembly 132. Then the clamping assembly 134 is moved downward through the z-direction moving assembly 133, so that the pressing plate 13433 is in contact with the surface of the workpiece. Then the jaw cylinder 1342 drives the first jaw 13421 and the second jaw 13422 to clamp the two sides of the workpiece, so as to take out the workpiece from the workpiece box 1143. The buffer 13432 makes the pressing plate 13433 have a certain elasticity, so that the workpiece is not pressed when it is in contact with the workpiece. The detection module 1344 comprises a second photoelectric limit switch 13441 and a second photoelectric baffle 13442. The second photoelectric baffle 13442 is installed on one side of the pressing plate 13433. The second photoelectric limit switch 13441 is installed on the buffer plate 13431. The positions of the second photoelectric baffle 13442 and the second photoelectric limit switch 13441 correspond to each other. When the pressing plate 13433 is in contact with the workpiece, the pressing plate 13433 has a tendency to move upward. When the second photoelectric baffle 13442 blocks the light emitted by the second photoelectric limit switch 13441, a signal can be generated to trigger the jaw cylinder 1342 to drive the first jaw 13421 and the second jaw 13422 to clamp the two sides of the workpiece. For example, two pressing blocks 13434 can be arranged on the lower surface of the pressing plate 13433. When the pressing blocks 13434 are arranged on the lower surface of the pressing plate 13433, the contact between the pressing plate 13433 and the surface of the workpiece is changed from surface contact to point contact. If the force is too large when the surface contact occurs, the workpiece is easy to tilt. After the workpiece is clamped, the workpiece can not be clamped firmly. The point contact can avoid this situation.

[0094] For example, the visual positioning module 135 is also installed on the z-direction moving plate 1334. The visual positioning module 135 is used to detect and identify the position of the workpiece, so as to facilitate the clamping assembly 134 to clamp the workpiece accurately.

[0095] For example, Figures 11 to 13As shown, the turnover transfer mechanism 14 comprises a lifting assembly 141, a mounting plate 142, a driving assembly 143 and a turnover assembly 144.

For example, the mounting plate 142 is connected with the shell mechanism 15, and the lifting assembly 141 can drive the driving assembly 143 and the turnover assembly 144 to move up and down as a whole through the mounting plate 142. The driving assembly 143 comprises a driving bottom plate 1431, a driving cylinder 1432, a driving guide 1433 and a guide sliding block 1434.

The first supporting block 1443 is connected with the first side plate 14421, and the second supporting block 1444 is connected with the second side plate 14422. When the rotating cylinder 1441 works, the whole turnover table 1442 can be turned over, for example, by 90°. After the carrying mechanism 13 clamps the workpiece, it can be moved to the area where the turnover transfer mechanism 14 is located, and then the turnover table 1442 is moved to the position directly below the workpiece by driving the cylinder 1432. The lifting assembly 141 lifts the turnover table 1442 to pick up the workpiece. After picking up, the lifting assembly 141 lowers the turnover table 1442 again.

[0097] For example, the turnover bottom plate 1440 is also provided with two limiting columns 1447, which are located below the rotating plate 14424 and on the same side of the rotating plate 14424.

The picking mechanism 24 is used to pick the assembly from the tray 221 on the transfer mechanism 23 and pick it onto the workpiece clamping fixture 36. The discharging mechanism 25 is located below the feeding mechanism 22. After the assembly in the tray 221 is picked by the picking mechanism 24, the empty tray 221 is moved to the discharging mechanism 25 by the transfer mechanism 23. The discharging mechanism 25 is used to collect and move the empty tray 221. In other words, after the worker places a plurality of trays 221 on the feeding mechanism 22, the transfer mechanism 23 can automatically receive one tray 221 from the feeding mechanism 22 and move it to the picking position. When the picking mechanism 24 picks all the assemblies on the tray 221, the discharging mechanism 25 can automatically recover the empty tray 221.

[0114] The working process of the blanking mechanism 25 is as follows: first, the material collecting support 252 is moved to the position of the third photoelectric baffle 2511 in the upper part, i.e., below the transfer mechanism 23, by the material collecting driving member 251; when the assembly parts on the tray 221 on the transfer mechanism 23 are taken, the fifth cylinder 2323, the sixth cylinder 2324, the seventh cylinder 2333 and the eighth cylinder 2334 drive the fifth supporting block 2325, the sixth supporting block 2326, the seventh supporting block 2335 and the eighth supporting block 2336 to extend to support the tray 221 respectively, and then the linear driving module 2341 drives the transfer plate 231 to move close to the feeding mechanism 22. At this time, the fifth cylinder 2323, the sixth cylinder 2324, the seventh cylinder 2333 and the eighth cylinder 2334 drive the fifth supporting block 2325, the sixth supporting block 2326, the seventh supporting block 2335 and the eighth supporting block 2336 to retract to disengage the tray 221, and the empty tray 221 can fall onto the support flat plate 2522. The empty trays 221 can be stacked on the support flat plate 2522 in sequence. During the stacking process, the height of the empty tray 221 increases, and the material collecting driving member 251 drives the material collecting support 252 to slowly move downward. When the material collecting support 252 moves downward to the position of the third photoelectric baffle 2511 in the middle part, the material collecting support 252 stops collecting. At this time, there are a plurality of empty trays 221 on the material collecting support 252. At this time, the material collecting driving member 251 drives the material collecting support 252 to move downward to the position of the third photoelectric baffle 2511 in the lower part, and at this time, the two ends of the empty tray 221 on the material collecting support 252 can contact the first placing plate 25333 and the second placing plate 25343. At this time, the discharging driving member 25321 is started to drive the empty tray 221 to move to the other side (i.e., the direction close to the door plate). At this time, the worker can pull the pull rod 2535 to pull the empty tray 221 out of the assembly part feeding and discharging device 2 through the sliding characteristics of the first multi-layer slide rail 25332 and the second multi-layer slide rail 25342, and recycle the empty tray 221.

[0115] The assembly part feeding and discharging device 2 also comprises a mechanical hand assembly 26, and the grabbing mechanism 21 and the picking mechanism 24 are both installed on the mechanical hand assembly 26. For example, the mechanical hand assembly 26 comprises a U-shaped mounting plate 261, and the grabbing mechanism 21 and the picking mechanism 24 are respectively installed on the two sides of the U-shaped mounting plate 261. The opening of the U-shaped mounting plate 261 faces downward.

[0116] The picking mechanism 24 comprises a picking mounting plate 241 connected with the mechanical arm assembly 26 (for example, fixedly connected with one side of the U-shaped mounting plate 261), a picking connecting module 242 mounted on one end of the picking mounting plate 241, and a picking module 243 mounted on the other end of the picking connecting module 242, and the picking module 243 can pick the assembly from the tray 221. The bottom of the picking module 243 is provided with a suction nozzle, which can provide stability for suction, and the shape of the bottom of the picking module 243 matches the shape of the assembly, so as to avoid damaging the assembly during picking. For example, the picking connecting module 242 comprises a sliding piece 2421, a fixed block 2422, a connecting block 2423 and an elastic piece 2424, the sliding piece 2421 and the fixed block 2422 are both mounted on the picking mounting plate 241, one side of the connecting block 2423 is connected with the sliding piece 2421, the top of the connecting block 2423 is connected with the fixed block 2422 through the elastic piece 2424, and the bottom of the connecting block 2423 is connected with the picking module 243. One side of the fixed block 2422 is provided with a fourth photoelectric switch 244, and one side of the connecting block 2423 is provided with a fourth photoelectric baffle 245. The mechanical arm assembly 26 can drive the picking mechanism 24 to move above the transfer mechanism 23, and then drive the picking mechanism 24 to move downward to pick the assembly. When the picking module 243 contacts the assembly, the picking mechanism 24 continues to move downward, which will cause the elastic piece 2424 to be extruded, and the connecting block 2423 has a tendency to move upward. When the fourth photoelectric baffle 245 blocks the light of the fourth photoelectric switch 244, the mechanical arm assembly 26 stops moving downward and starts moving upward. At this time, the assembly has been picked up by the picking module 243.

[0117] The grabbing mechanism 21 comprises a grabbing cylinder 211, an adapter plate 212, a clamping cylinder 213, a first clamping jaw 214, a second clamping jaw 215, a pressing plate 216, a buffer spring 217, a fifth photoelectric switch 218 and a fifth photoelectric baffle 219. The grabbing cylinder 211 is connected with the other side of the U-shaped mounting plate 261. The adapter plate 212 is connected with the extending end of the grabbing cylinder 211. The clamping cylinder 213 is connected with the adapter plate 212. The first clamping jaw 214 and the second clamping jaw 215 are both connected with the clamping cylinder 213. The pressing plate 216 is located between the first clamping jaw 214 and the second clamping jaw 215. The two ends of the pressing plate 216 are connected with the clamping cylinder 213 through the buffer spring 217. The fifth photoelectric switch 218 is arranged on the clamping cylinder 213. The fifth photoelectric baffle 219 is arranged on the pressing plate 216. The clamping cylinder 213 can drive the first clamping jaw 214 and the second clamping jaw 215 to move close to or away from each other. When the mechanical hand assembly 26 drives the grabbing mechanism 21 to move to the position directly above the workpiece, the grabbing cylinder 211 can be started to drive the clamping cylinder 213 to move downward. When the pressing plate 216 contacts with the assembly, the buffer spring 217 is extruded, and the pressing plate 216 has a tendency to move upward. When the fifth photoelectric baffle 219 blocks the light of the fifth photoelectric switch 218, the clamping cylinder 213 is started, and the assembly is clamped and taken out by the first clamping jaw 214 and the second clamping jaw 215.

[0118] It should be noted that the side of the U-shaped mounting plate 261 is also provided with a visual positioning mechanism 29 for positioning the position of the workpiece and the assembly. For example, the workpiece is a lens barrel, and the assembly is a lens.

[0119] The assembly piece feeding and discharging device 2 further comprises an identification mechanism 27, which is used to identify the position and size of the glue dispensing groove on the workpiece (i.e. the lens barrel). The identification mechanism 27 comprises an identification camera 271 and an identification background plate 272, both of which are mounted on the support platform 28 through a support, and the identification background plate 272 is arranged opposite to the identification camera 271. After the grabbing mechanism 21 grabs the workpiece, the workpiece is first moved to the side of the identification background plate 272 close to the identification camera 271, and then the identification camera 271 is started to sequentially take photos of multiple surfaces of the workpiece. The images can be sent to the control interface for processing to identify the coordinate position and size of the glue dispensing groove on the lens barrel. The assembly piece feeding and discharging device 2 further comprises a detection mechanism 20 mounted on the mechanical hand assembly 26, which is used to detect the mounting and gluing quality of the workpiece and the assembly piece. The detection mechanism 20 comprises a mounting frame 201, a detection camera 202 and an optical lens 203, the mounting frame 201 is fixed on one side of the mechanical hand assembly 26, the detection camera 202 and the optical lens 203 are both mounted on the mounting frame 201, and the optical lens 203 is coaxially arranged with the detection camera 202. For example, the detection camera 202 is horizontally arranged, and when the mechanical hand assembly 26 drives the workpiece to the detection mechanism 20, the detection mechanism 20 can take photos of the workpiece for detection. If the mounting and gluing quality of the workpiece after the previous process is unqualified, the unqualified workpiece is placed in the recycling box, and only the qualified workpiece is grabbed to the workpiece clamping jig 36 of the next process.

[0120] As Figures 30 to 51 , the assembly and gluing equipment 3 comprises a workpiece conveying device 35, a glue dispensing process module 33, an assembly module 31 and a glue dispensing module 32. The workpiece conveying device 35 conveys the workpiece and the assembly piece; the glue dispensing process module 33 is located on one side of the workpiece conveying device 35, and can take photos and calibrate the assembly piece; the assembly module 31 can take photos and calibrate the workpiece, and is movable between the glue dispensing process module 33 and the workpiece conveying device 35. The assembly module 31 picks up and adjusts the angle of the assembly piece and then assembles it on the workpiece; and the glue dispensing module 32 is used to dispense glue at the connection between the assembly piece and the workpiece.

[0121] The workpiece and the assembly piece are conveyed by the workpiece conveying device 35, and the workpiece is fixed at the same time. The assembly module 31 grabs the assembly piece, which is matched with the assembly position on the workpiece after being guided by vision and is assembled. Then the glue dispensing module 32 dispenses glue from the side. The whole assembly and gluing process is automated, the position is matched before the assembly piece is mounted, and the mounting precision is improved.

[0122] By Figure 31It can be known that the assembling module 31 and the dispensing module 32 are mounted on the gantry driving mechanism 34, the assembling module 31 and the dispensing module 32 are sequentially and spacedly arranged along the conveying direction of the workpiece conveying device 35, the gantry driving mechanism 34 drives the assembling module 31 and the dispensing module 32 to move in the horizontal direction, the assembling module 31 is used for driving the assembly to move up and down and rotate on the horizontal plane, and the activity range of the dispensing module 32 is less than or equal to 180°.

[0123] As shown in Figures 33 to 34 The dispensing module 32 comprises a z-axis linear module 320, a mounting frame 321, a dispensing assembly 322 and a glue cylinder assembly 323, the mounting frame 321 is mounted on the output end of the z-axis linear module 320, the dispensing assembly 322 is mounted on the mounting frame 321, the dispensing assembly 322 is provided with a dispensing valve 3224, the activity range of the dispensing valve 3224 is less than or equal to 180°, the glue cylinder assembly 323 is mounted on the mounting frame 321, the glue cylinder assembly 323 is located above the dispensing assembly 322, the glue cylinder assembly 323 is provided with a glue cylinder 3235, and the glue cylinder 3235 is communicated with the dispensing valve 3224.

[0124] In other words, the z-axis linear module 320 drives the entire dispensing module to move downwards to approach the workpiece and the assembly, the dispensing assembly 322 is located below the glue cylinder assembly 323, the glue cylinder assembly 323 does not rotate with the dispensing assembly 322, and the load of the dispensing assembly 322 can be reduced.

[0125] Therefore, the present application drives the entire dispensing module to move along the z-axis through the z-axis linear module 320, and drives the dispensing valve 3224 to rotate in a range less than or equal to 180° through the dispensing assembly 322, so that the activity range of the dispensing valve 3224 can cover the left and right sides of the assembly, so that the dispensing valve 3224 can dispense from the left and right sides, and the adaptability of the dispensing module is more extensive.

[0126] According to an embodiment of the present application, the dispensing assembly 322 comprises a motor mounting block 3221, a motor 3222 and a dispensing valve mounting plate 3223, the motor mounting block 3221 is mounted on the lower end of the mounting frame 321, the motor 3222 is mounted on the motor mounting block 3221, and the dispensing valve mounting plate 3223 is connected with the output shaft of the motor 3222, and the dispensing valve 3224 is mounted on the dispensing valve mounting plate 3223. Further, annular scales are engraved around the output shaft of the motor 3222 on the motor mounting block 3221, the annular scales can facilitate alignment and installation when the dispensing valve 3224 is installed, and the rotation angle of the dispensing valve 3224 during dispensing can be directly observed. Furthermore, the output shaft of the motor 3222 is rotatably connected with the motor mounting block 3221. In this way, the stability of the output shaft of the motor 3222 during rotation is ensured.

[0127] Preferably, the mounting frame 321 is provided with a first photoelectric sensor 3225, and the valve mounting plate 3223 is provided with a first baffle 3226 for triggering the first photoelectric sensor 3225. In this embodiment, when the valve 3224 is in the vertical state, the first baffle 3226 triggers the first photoelectric sensor 3225, so that whether the valve 3224 is in the vertical original position can be identified.

[0128] According to one embodiment of the present application, the glue cylinder assembly 323 comprises a locking ring 3231, a pressing device 3232 and a glue outlet 3234. The locking ring 3231 is mounted on the mounting frame 321 and is used to hold the glue cylinder 3235. The pressing device 3232 is mounted on the mounting frame 321 and is located above the locking ring 3231. The output end of the pressing device 3232 is provided with a sealing block 3233 which seals the upper end of the glue cylinder 3235. The glue outlet 3234 is mounted on the mounting frame 321 and is located below the locking ring 3231. The glue outlet 3234 seals the lower end of the glue cylinder 3235. Further, the side surface of the sealing block 3233 is connected with a pressure boosting device which applies pressure to the glue cylinder 3235 to squeeze out glue. The glue outlet 3234 is connected with the valve 3224 through a pipeline.

[0129] In other words, the locking ring 3231 is used to fix the glue cylinder 3235, and the pressing device 3232 can be a cylinder, a presser or the like which seals the upper part of the glue cylinder 3235 and is connected with a pressure boosting device such as a gas pump to apply pressure to the glue cylinder 3235, so as to facilitate the squeezing out of glue. The glue outlet 3234 is mainly used to seal the lower part of the glue cylinder 3235 and to input glue into the valve 3224.

[0130] On this basis, the side surface of the mounting frame 321 is further provided with a vision assembly 324 which comprises a camera, a lens and a light source arranged in sequence from top to bottom. The vision assembly 324 can perform visual positioning on the workpiece and the assembly, thereby improving the dispensing precision.

[0131] In this embodiment, the output shaft of the motor 3222 is parallel to the y-axis, and the dispensing direction of the valve 3224 is x or -x direction during operation. That is, during operation, the valve 3224 is rotated clockwise by 90° from the vertical position to become horizontal, and then is rotated counterclockwise by 180° to be horizontal again for dispensing. The dispensing directions of the two dispensing operations are opposite, so that dispensing can be performed from the left and right sides of the assembly.

[0132] As Figures 35-41As shown, the side of the mounting frame 321 is provided with a speed reducer 3227, the output end of the speed reducer 3227 extends to the other side of the mounting frame 321; the glue dispensing assembly 322 is installed on the output end of the speed reducer 3227; the motor 3222 is connected with the speed reducer 3227, and the motor 3222 drives the glue dispensing assembly 322 to rotate to a predetermined position and then performs glue dispensing.

[0133] Therefore, the glue dispensing assembly 322 is decelerated by arranging the speed reducer 3227 between the motor 3222 and the glue dispensing assembly 322, so that the glue dispensing assembly 322 is prevented from rotating too fast, the rotational inertia of the glue dispensing assembly 322 is reduced, and the rotational precision of the glue dispensing assembly 322 is higher.

[0134] Preferably, the motor 3222 is a holding brake motor. The holding brake motor can lock the position when the motor stops, so that the motor is prevented from moving due to external force. In this way, the glue dispensing valve can be kept stationary when reaching the glue dispensing position, so that the glue dispensing effect is ensured.

[0135] According to an embodiment of the present application, the glue dispensing assembly 322 comprises a glue dispensing valve mounting plate 3223, a glue dispensing valve 3224 and a mounting limiting block 3228, the glue dispensing valve 3224 is installed on the side of the glue dispensing valve mounting plate 3223 away from the mounting frame 321; the mounting limiting block 3228 is installed on the side of the glue dispensing valve mounting plate 3223 facing the mounting frame 321, and the mounting limiting block 3228 is connected with the output end of the speed reducer 3227.

[0136] That is, the glue dispensing valve mounting plate 3223 is used for mounting the glue dispensing valve 3224, and the mounting limiting block 3228 is used for fixing the glue dispensing valve mounting plate 3223 with the output end of the speed reducer 3227.

[0137] Further, the side of the mounting frame 321 facing the mounting limiting block 3228 is provided with a limiting block 3229, and the mounting limiting block 3228 has a protrusion 32281 matched with the limiting block 3229.

[0138] Still further, the limiting block 3229 has an upper limiting surface and a lower limiting surface, when the glue dispensing valve 3224 is located at the first glue dispensing position, one side of the protrusion 32281 abuts against the upper limiting surface, and when the glue dispensing valve 3224 is located at the second glue dispensing position, the other side of the protrusion 32281 abuts against the lower limiting surface.

[0139] The limiting block 3229 has a C-shaped structure, and the protrusion 32281 is arranged on the side of the mounting limiting block 3228 facing the mounting frame 321. Figure 3 As shown in FIG. 6, when the glue dispensing valve 3224 performs glue dispensing from the left side, one side of the protrusion 32281 abuts against the upper limiting surface. Figure 4 As shown in FIG. 7, when the glue dispensing valve 3224 performs glue dispensing from the right side, the other side of the protrusion 32281 abuts against the lower limiting surface.

[0140] In this embodiment, the output end of the reducer 3227 is connected to the mounting bracket 321 via a bearing. This ensures the stability of the output end of the reducer 3227 during rotation.

[0141] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a first photoelectric sensor 3225 is mounted on the mounting bracket 321, and a first baffle 3226 is mounted on the mounting limit block 3228. The first baffle 3226 is used to trigger the first photoelectric sensor 3225. Further, the first photoelectric sensor 3225 is located above the mounting limit block 3228.

[0142] In other words, when the dispensing valve 3224 rotates, the first baffle 3226 rotates accordingly, and the first photoelectric sensor 3225 determines whether the dispensing valve 3224 has reached the origin position.

[0143] The dispensing direction of the dispensing valve 3224 when it is in the first dispensing position and the dispensing direction of the dispensing valve 3224 when it is in the second dispensing position are both horizontal; the dispensing direction of the dispensing valve 3224 when it is in the first dispensing position and the dispensing direction of the dispensing valve 3224 when it is in the second dispensing position are opposite.

[0144] In other words, the dispensing valve 3224 rotates 180° from the first dispensing position to the second dispensing position. When the dispensing valve 3224 is in the vertical position, the protrusion 32281 is located on the central axis between the upper limit surface and the lower limit surface.

[0145] In summary, by setting up a speed reducer 3227, the present invention reduces rotational inertia, and through the combined action of the brake motor, the limit block 3229 and the protrusion 32281, it ensures that the dispensing valve 3224 is in a stable state during dispensing, thereby improving dispensing accuracy and dispensing effect.

[0146] like Figures 42 to 44 As shown, the assembly module 31 includes: a mounting plate 310, a z-axis linear module 311, a rotating mechanism 312, and a suction mechanism 313. The z-axis linear module 311 is mounted on the mounting plate 310; the rotating mechanism 312 is mounted on the z-axis linear module 311, and the z-axis linear module 311 drives the rotating mechanism 312 to move along the z-axis; the suction mechanism 313 is slidably mounted on the rotating mechanism 312, and the rotating mechanism 312 drives the suction mechanism 313 to rotate, and the suction mechanism 313 is used to pick up the assembly parts; a constant force spring 3134 is provided between the suction mechanism 313 and the rotating mechanism 312, and the constant force spring 3134 is used to apply an upward supporting force to the suction mechanism 313.

[0147] In other words, the linear module 311 in the z direction is used to drive the rotating mechanism 312 and the suction mechanism 313 to move up and down in the z direction, and the rotating mechanism 312 drives the suction mechanism 313 to rotate around the z axis in the embodiment, so that the assembly part matches the assembly position, and the direction of the supporting force of the constant force spring 3134 is the z direction.

[0148] Therefore, the assembly position accuracy of the assembly part is improved by rotating the assembly part through the rotating mechanism 312, the suction mechanism 313 is slidably installed on the rotating mechanism 312, and the upward supporting force of the constant force spring 3134 is applied to the suction mechanism 313, so that the gravity of the suction mechanism 313 itself is offset, thereby avoiding that the assembly part is affected by the gravity of the assembly module itself, the assembly pressure of the assembly part is accurately controllable, and the assembly effect is improved.

[0149] According to an embodiment of the present application, the rotating mechanism 312 comprises a rotating motor 3121, a clamping block 3122 and a rotating plate 3123, the rotating motor 3121 is installed on the linear module 311 in the z direction through a fixing seat 3127, the clamping block 3122 is arranged on the output end of the rotating motor 3121, and the rotating plate 3123 is installed on one side of the clamping block 3122, and the suction mechanism 313 is slidably installed on the rotating plate 3123.

[0150] Further, the fixing seat 3127 is provided with a second photoelectric sensor 3126, and the rotating plate 3123 is provided with a second baffle 3128 for triggering the second photoelectric sensor 3126. When the rotating plate 3123 rotates, the second baffle 3128 can trigger the second photoelectric sensor 3126, so as to identify whether the rotating plate 3123 reaches the original point.

[0151] According to an embodiment of the present application, the suction mechanism 313 comprises an installation block 3131 and a suction head 3132, the installation block 3131 and the rotating plate 3123 are connected through a guide rail sliding block mechanism, the sliding direction of the guide rail sliding block mechanism is parallel to the z direction, and the suction head 3132 is installed below the installation block 3131 and sucks the assembly part through negative pressure.

[0152] In the embodiment, the number of guide rail sliding block mechanisms is two, and the stability of the two guide rail sliding block mechanisms is higher.

[0153] The lower end of the constant force spring 3134 is connected with the rotating plate 3123, the upper end of the constant force spring 3134 is connected with the installation block 3131, and the axis of the constant force spring 3134 is parallel to the z direction. That is to say, the supporting force of the constant force spring 3134 is applied in parallel to the sliding direction of the guide rail sliding block mechanism, so as to ensure the stable sliding of the suction mechanism 313 in the z direction.

[0154] Preferably, a pressure sensor 3124 is installed below the holding block 3122, and a pressure measuring protrusion 3133 is installed above the mounting block 3131, and the pressure measuring protrusion 3133 is used to trigger the pressure sensor 3124 during assembly to monitor the assembly pressure. The suction mechanism 313 triggers the pressure sensor 3124 when it slides upward, and the pressure sensor 3124 monitors the assembly pressure in real time to ensure that the assembly pressure does not exceed the requirement, thereby achieving precise control of the assembly pressure.

[0155] More preferably, the pressure measuring protrusion 3133, the pressure sensor 3124 and the suction head 3132 are on the same z-axis. In this way, it can be ensured that the assembly pressure detected by the pressure sensor 3124 is consistent with the pressure on the assembly part received by the suction head 3132.

[0156] According to an embodiment of the present application, the suction head 3132 is detachably connected to the mounting block 3131, the suction head 3132 is connected to a vacuum generator, and the contour of the lower surface of the suction head 3132 matches the contour of the assembly part. Different suction heads 3132 can be replaced for different assembly parts, and the adaptability is more extensive.

[0157] According to an embodiment of the present application, a height measuring instrument 3125 is also installed on the rotating plate 3123. The height measuring instrument 3125 can measure the assembly height. On this basis, a vision device 314 is also installed on the mounting plate 310, and the vision device 314 includes a camera 3141, a lens 3142 and a light source 3143, which are coaxially arranged from top to bottom.

The assembly part magazine 330 is installed on the mounting base plate 336 and is used to place defective assembly parts. The calibration module 331 is installed on the mounting base plate 336 and is used for calibration and adjustment of the glue dispensing head. The assembly part vision device 333 is installed on the mounting base plate 336 and is used to take pictures of the assembly part to adjust the assembly angle.

[0159] Therefore, the assembly part vision device 333 is used to calibrate the position of the grabbed assembly part, so that the assembly part matches the assembly position, thereby improving the assembly precision. The calibration module 331 is used to calibrate and adjust the glue dispensing head, so as to ensure the glue dispensing precision and improve the assembly and glue dispensing effect. The assembly part magazine 330 is used to accommodate defective assembly parts, so as to facilitate the unified collection of defective assembly parts and avoid mixing with good assembly parts.

[0160] In the embodiment, the assembly visual device 333 comprises a camera 3331, a lens 3332 and a light source 3333, which are sequentially arranged from bottom to top.

[0161] In other words, after the assembly head picks up the assembly, it moves above the light source 3333, and the camera 3331 takes a picture of the assembly from an angle, matches the assembly with the assembly position, and adjusts the angle of the assembly head accurately, thereby ensuring assembly accuracy.
