[0002] A blood glucose meter, also known as a blood glucose meter, is an electronic instrument that measures blood glucose levels. It plays an important role in detecting blood glucose levels and providing health information. The assembly process of a blood glucose meter involves assembling a rubber stopper (soft, cylindrical) and a sleeve (rigid, tubular). Assembly typically requires two robotic arms. One robotic arm transfers the rubber stopper to a fixture, and then the other robotic arm moves the sleeve to the fixture and fits it onto the rubber stopper.

[0049] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0050] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this embodiment provides an electronic product assembly device, which includes a frame 100, a material distribution component 200, a transfer assembly component 300, and a robotic arm 400. The material distribution component 200 is disposed on the frame 100 and includes a first vibratory feeder 210, a second vibratory feeder 220, and a receiving component 230. The first vibratory feeder 210 is used to output first workpieces one by one to a first outlet of the first vibratory feeder 210; the second vibratory feeder 220 is used to output second workpieces one by one to a second outlet of the second vibratory feeder 220; the receiving component 230 has a first receiving groove 231 and a second receiving groove 232. The first receiving groove 231 is used to receive the first workpieces flowing out from the first outlet; the second receiving groove 232 is used to receive... The second workpiece flows out from the second outlet; the transfer assembly assembly 300 is provided on the frame 100, and the output end of the transfer assembly assembly 300 is provided with a fixture 350, which can hold the first workpiece; the robot arm 400 is provided on the frame 100, and the output end of the robot arm 400 is provided with an adsorption member 421 and a clamping member 431. The adsorption member 421 is used to adsorb the first workpiece, and the clamping member 431 is used to clamp the second workpiece. The robot arm 400 is used to transfer the first workpiece located at the first outlet to the fixture 350, and to assemble the second workpiece located at the second outlet onto the first workpiece.

[0051] The use of the aforementioned robotic arm 400 reduces the cost of electronic product assembly equipment and improves the accuracy of docking between the second and first workpieces, thus helping to increase the yield rate.

[0052] It should be noted that the specific structure and working principle of the first vibrating plate 210 and the second vibrating plate 220 are well known to those skilled in the art and are not the focus of protection in this embodiment, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0053] In some embodiments, the first receiving groove 231 and the second receiving groove 232 are spaced apart along the X direction. The first outlet and the second outlet are spaced apart along the X direction. The fixture 350 includes a base and a clamping cylinder disposed on the base. Each of the two output ends of the clamping cylinder is provided with a clamping block. The clamping cylinder is used to drive the two clamping blocks closer to or further away from each other.

[0054] In some embodiments, the output end of the robot 400 is provided with a mounting base 410. The robot 400 includes a first sliding member 420 and a first elastic member 422. The first sliding member 420 is slidably disposed on the mounting base 410 along the Z direction. The first elastic member 422 is disposed between the mounting base 410 and the first sliding member 420, and is used to apply a downward elastic force to the first sliding member 420. A suction member 421 is disposed on the first sliding member 420 and is located above the fixture 350. The first elastic member 422 allows the suction member 421 to be compressed under pressure, thereby allowing the suction member 421 to move upward. This avoids damage to the first workpiece when the robot 400 moves downward beyond a small range, thereby reducing the requirements for the movement accuracy of the robot 400 and further reducing costs.

[0055] In some embodiments, the output end of the robot 400 is provided with a mounting base 410. The robot 400 includes a second sliding member 430 and a second elastic member 432. The second sliding member 430 is slidably disposed on the mounting base 410 along the Z direction. The second elastic member 432 is disposed between the mounting base 410 and the second sliding member 430, and is used to apply a downward elastic force to the second sliding member 430. A clamping member 431 is disposed on the second sliding member 430, and the clamping members 431 are all located above the fixture 350. With the above arrangement, the second elastic member 432 allows the clamping member 431 to move upward, avoiding damage to the first workpiece and / or the second workpiece when the robot 400 moves downward beyond a small range, thereby reducing the requirements for the movement accuracy of the robot 400 and further reducing costs.

[0056] In some embodiments, two of each of the first sliding member 420, the first elastic member 422, and the suction member 421 are provided to enable the robot arm 400 to simultaneously transfer two first workpieces. In some embodiments, two of each of the second sliding member 430, the second elastic member 432, and the clamping member 431 are provided to enable the robot arm 400 to simultaneously transfer two second workpieces. In some embodiments, two of each of the first sliding member 420, the first elastic member 422, and the suction member 421 are provided, and two of each of the second sliding member 430, the second elastic member 432, and the clamping member 431 are provided to enable the robot arm 400 to simultaneously transfer two first workpieces and two second workpieces.

[0057] In this embodiment, the second workpiece has a tubular structure, and the first workpiece has a columnar structure. The second workpiece needs to be fitted onto the first workpiece at a predetermined depth. To avoid installation failure, in this embodiment, the second sliding member 430 is provided with a trigger member 433, and the mounting base 410 is provided with a sensor member 434. The second sliding member 430 slides between its lower limit position and its upper limit position. When the second sliding member 430 is at its upper limit position, the trigger member 433 triggers the sensor member 434, and the second workpiece and the first workpiece complete the insertion and engagement.

[0058] Specifically, when the first workpiece is correctly positioned and the second workpiece is not yet fitted onto the first workpiece, the second sliding member 430 is at its lower limit position. After the second workpiece is fitted onto the first workpiece, as the robot arm 400 continues to descend and apply pressure, it receives a reverse force from the first workpiece, causing the second workpiece to stop descending. This causes the second sliding member 430 to move upward relative to the mounting base 410 to its upper limit position, thereby triggering the trigger member 433 to activate the sensor member 434. It should be noted that the controller and the sensor member 434 are communicatively connected. When the trigger member 433 triggers the sensor member 434, the sensor member 434 sends an installation signal to the controller. After receiving the installation signal, the controller sends a command to the robot arm 400, controlling the gripper 431 to release the second workpiece and move upward.

[0059] When the first workpiece is not positioned accurately, such as not being vertical, the second workpiece cannot be fitted onto the first. In this case, when the robot arm 400 descends a preset distance, the second workpiece may not be in contact with the first workpiece. Therefore, the second workpiece is not under force, causing the second sliding member 430 to not move upward, and the sensor 434 will not be triggered. At this time, the controller will send an installation failure signal and control the robot arm 400 to stop moving, while prompting the operator to check the condition of the first or second workpiece.

[0060] In some embodiments, the transfer assembly assembly 300 drives the fixture 350 to move between a first assembly position and a second assembly position. When the fixture 350 is in the first assembly position, it carries a first workpiece and a second workpiece mounted on the first workpiece. When the fixture 350 is in the second assembly position, it assembles the second workpiece onto a third workpiece to form a semi-finished product. In this embodiment, when the fixture 350 is in the first assembly position, the robot arm 400 first moves the first workpiece onto the fixture 350, and then places the second workpiece onto the first workpiece. Then, the transfer assembly assembly 300 moves the fixture 350, carrying the first and second workpieces, to the second assembly position, and assembles the second and third workpieces to form a semi-finished product.

[0061] The electronic product assembly equipment includes a transmission component 500, which transmits a third workpiece along the X direction. When the third workpiece is transmitted to the second assembly position, it engages with the second workpiece in a spiral manner. The transfer assembly assembly 300 includes a first drive component 310, a second drive component 320, a third drive component 330, and a fourth drive component 340. The first drive component 310 is mounted on a frame 100. The output end of the first drive component 310 is connected to the second drive component 320 and is used to drive the second drive component 320 to move along the X direction. The output end of the second drive component 320 is connected to the third drive component 330 and is used to drive the third drive component 330 to move along the Z direction. The output end of the third drive component 330 is connected to the fourth drive component 340 and is used to drive the fourth drive component 340 to move along the Y direction. The output end of the fourth drive component 340 is connected to a fixture 350 and is used to drive the fixture 350 to rotate around the Z direction. The X, Y, and Z directions are perpendicular to each other.

[0062] With the above-described structure, the second workpiece can rotate around its own axis under the action of the fourth driving component 340, thereby realizing the process of screwing the second workpiece into a screw connection with the third workpiece. During this process, the second workpiece moves upward under the action of the second driving component 320. The first driving component 310, the second driving component 320, and the third driving component 330 can all be linear modules. The fourth driving component 340 can be a servo motor.

[0063] In some embodiments, the third workpiece includes a first pressing part and a second pressing part, wherein the second pressing part is higher than the first pressing part and the two are arranged side by side, and the first pressing part is provided with an adhesive layer, the second pressing part is made of metal or a relatively hard plastic material and is needle-shaped, the second pressing part and the first pressing part are not completely fixed, and the second pressing part is relatively easy to move relative to the first pressing part.

[0064] To prevent the third workpiece from rotating along with the second workpiece during its rotation, thus preventing them from being able to rotate relative to each other, or causing the second pressed part to fall out of the first pressed part, in this embodiment, the electronic product assembly equipment includes a ballast assembly 600. The ballast assembly 600 includes a ballast seat 610, a ballast drive 611, a first ballast 620, a second ballast 630, a first ballast elastic element 621, and a second ballast elastic element 631. The ballast seat 610 is slidably mounted on the frame 100 along the Z direction. The ballast drive 611 is mounted on the frame 100. The output end of the ballast drive 611 is connected to the ballast seat 610 and is used to drive the ballast seat 610 to move in the Z direction. The first ballast 620 moves along the Z direction... A first ballast elastic member 621 is slidably disposed in the Z-direction on the ballast seat 610 and the first ballast member 620, and is used to apply downward pressure to the first ballast member 620. A second ballast member 630 is slidably disposed in the Z-direction on the first ballast member 620. A second ballast elastic member 631 is disposed between the first ballast member 620 and the second ballast member 630, and is used to apply downward pressure to the second ballast member 630. The first ballast portion at the lower end of the first ballast member 620 is used to ballast the first pressed portion of the third workpiece. The second ballast portion at the lower end of the second ballast member 630 is used to ballast the second pressed portion of the third workpiece. The distance between the first ballast portion and the first pressed portion is greater than the distance between the second ballast portion and the second pressed portion. The above configuration ensures that during the descent of the ballast seat 610, the second pressed part is first subjected to the ballast of the second ballast member 630 to fix it to the first pressed part. Then, the first ballast member 620 continues to descend until it applies pressure to the first pressed part, thus fixing the first pressed part to the transmission member 500. This prevents the rotation of the second workpiece from causing the third workpiece to rotate, thereby improving the success rate of the spiral connection between the second and third workpieces and preventing separation between the second and first pressed parts.

[0065] In this embodiment, the downward direction is opposite to the direction indicated by the Z-direction arrow. The first ballast part is coated with rubber, and the second ballast part is made of rigid plastic.

[0066] In some embodiments, the transfer assembly 300 is provided in two parts, and the receiving component 230 is provided with two first receiving grooves 231 and two second receiving grooves 232. The two first receiving grooves 231 and two second receiving grooves 232 are spaced apart along the X direction. The receiving component 230 is slidably disposed on the frame 100 along the X direction. The receiving component 230 moves between a first receiving position and a second receiving position. When the receiving component 230 is in the first receiving position, one first receiving groove 231 and one second receiving groove 232 correspond to the first outlet and the second outlet, respectively. When the receiving component 230 is in the second receiving position, the other first receiving groove 231 and the other second receiving groove 232 correspond to the first outlet and the second outlet, respectively. The above configuration allows the robot arm 400 to firstly assemble a first workpiece by firstly placing one of the first workpieces into the fixture 350 of one of the transfer assembly components 300, then assembling a second workpiece into the first workpiece, then placing the other first workpiece into the fixture 350 of the other transfer assembly component 300, and finally assembling the other second workpiece into the first workpiece. When the two transfer assembly components 300 move the two fixtures 350 to the two second assembly positions, they respectively complete assembly with the two third workpieces.

[0067] In this embodiment, two adsorption elements 421 are spaced apart along the X direction, and two clamping elements 431 are spaced apart along the X direction, with the line connecting the two adsorption elements 421 and the line connecting the two clamping elements 431 collinear. The two adsorption elements 421 are adjacent, and the two clamping elements 431 are adjacent.

[0068] In this embodiment, the receiving component 230 is driven by a receiving drive component to move between the first receiving position and the second receiving position. The receiving drive component can be a linear module.

[0069] During the production process, there is a possibility that the first workpiece may not enter the first receiving trough 231. In this case, the robot arm 400 moves to the first receiving trough 231 and completes the receiving action before moving to the fixture 350. The fault can only be discovered after the second workpiece is installed, wasting time and energy due to the robot arm 400's transfer process. Therefore, in this embodiment, the bottom of the first receiving trough 231 is provided with a first detection hole, and the frame 100 is provided with a first detection element. The first detection element is used to detect the first workpiece in the first receiving trough 231. The first detection element is communicatively connected to the controller. This setup enables direct detection of whether the first workpiece has entered the first receiving trough 231. When the first workpiece has not entered the first receiving trough 231, the robot arm 400 does not move. Furthermore, if the first detection element has not detected the first workpiece after a preset time, it can send a "not entered" signal to the controller, which then sends a prompt message to the operator via a notification device.

[0070] The second receiving groove 232 extends through the receiving component 230 along the Z direction. A second detection component is provided on the frame 100, which is used for the second workpiece in the second receiving groove 232. The outer diameter of the horizontal plate is larger than the outer diameter of the second receiving groove 232. The horizontal plate is located above the second receiving groove 232. With the above configuration, direct detection of whether the second workpiece has entered the second receiving groove 232 is achieved. When the second workpiece has not entered the second receiving groove 232, the robot arm 400 does not move. In addition, if the second detection component has not detected the second workpiece after a preset time, it can send a "no entry" signal to the controller, and the controller will send a prompt message to the operator through a prompting device.

[0071] In other embodiments, the bottom of the second receiving groove 232 is provided with a second detection hole. The second detection element detects the second workpiece in the second receiving groove 232 through the second detection hole.

[0072] In some embodiments, when the receiving component 230 is provided with two first receiving slots 231 and two second receiving slots 232, the first detection component is located at the first outlet, and the second detection component is located at the second outlet. When the first detection component fails to detect the first workpiece or the second detection component fails to detect the second workpiece, the receiving component 230 located at the first receiving position does not operate. If the first detection component fails to detect the first workpiece or the second detection component fails to detect the second workpiece after a preset time, a no-entry signal can be sent to the controller, and the controller will issue a prompt message to the operator through a prompting device.

[0073] Both the first and second detection components can be photosensitive sensors or infrared sensors. The specific detection methods are well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0074] To improve the alignment accuracy of the second and third workpieces, in some embodiments, the electronic product assembly equipment includes a first camera 710, mounted on the frame 100, for photographing the second workpiece in the fixture 350 on two transfer assembly components 300. The electronic product assembly equipment also includes a second camera 720, mounted on the frame 100, for photographing the third workpiece. The first camera 710 is fixed in position, and the two transfer assembly components 300 successively move the second workpiece in the fixture 350 below the first camera 710. This structural arrangement improves the alignment accuracy of the second and third workpieces, thereby increasing assembly efficiency and yield. Specifically, the position coordinates of the second and third workpieces are obtained from the photographs taken by the first camera 710 and the second camera 720, allowing for direct modification of the movement trajectory of the fixture 350.

[0075] In some embodiments, the conveyor 500 is slidably mounted on a transmission track along the X direction, passing sequentially from the receiving position to the second assembly position and the detection position. The bottom of the conveyor 500 has a mounting hole, and the mounting portion of the third workpiece is located above the mounting hole. The second camera 720 is slidably mounted on the frame 100 and located below the conveyor 500. The second camera 720 can move between the second assembly position and the clearance position. The second camera 720 in the second assembly position can capture images of the mounting portion through the mounting hole. This arrangement allows the second camera 720 to directly capture images of the mounting portion, resulting in a reasonable layout. After capturing images of the mounting portion, the second camera 720 moves to the clearance position, causing one of the transfer assembly components 300 to move one of the fixtures 350 to the second assembly position. Then, through the action of the second drive component 320 and the fourth drive component 340, the second and third workpieces are helically engaged. The second camera 720 in the second assembly position is located below the third workpiece in the second assembly position. After the third workpiece is photographed, the second camera 720 moves to a clearance position. The second workpiece is then moved to a second assembly position by the transfer assembly component 300 within the fixture 350, and is positioned below the third workpiece. Specifically, the second camera 720 is slidably mounted on the frame 100 along the X-direction, and the two second assembly positions are spaced apart along the X-direction, allowing the second camera 720 to photograph the third workpiece at both second assembly positions. The detection position and the second assembly position are spaced apart along the X-direction so that after the second and third workpieces complete their helical engagement, they can be directly moved to the detection position by the transport component 500.

[0076] Regarding the screw connection, the second and third workpieces can be screwed or snap-fitted.

[0077] The electronic product assembly equipment includes a third camera 730, which is located at the inspection position of the frame 100. A transport unit 500 moves semi-finished products to the inspection position. The third camera 730 is used to photograph the second and third workpieces, and its shooting direction is perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the second and third workpieces. The third camera 730 allows for the observation of the connection between the second and third workpieces.

[0078] Since there are two transfer assembly components 300, two second assembly positions, and two transmission components 500, both transmission components 500 move along the X-direction and simultaneously move to the two second assembly positions. After the second camera 720 completes its imaging of the mounting portion of the third workpiece at the two second assembly positions, it moves to a clearance position located between the two second assembly positions. The second camera 720 can be driven by a linear module.

[0079] In some embodiments, the electronic product assembly equipment includes a lifting member 510, which is slidably disposed on the frame 100 along the Z direction to lift the semi-finished product at the inspection position to the re-inspection position. The re-inspection position is equipped with an illumination element located on the side of the semi-finished product away from the third camera 730. Specifically, after the second and third workpieces are screwed together, their axes coincide, and the installation status can be determined by whether the second and third workpieces are misaligned. In addition, after the second and third workpieces are screwed together, there will be a dividing line between them. The installation status can be determined by analyzing the distance between the dividing line and the top of the third workpiece or the distance between the dividing line and the bottom of the second workpiece.

[0080] The first workpiece is a columnar structure made of flexible material. To prevent significant shaking during the transfer process, in this embodiment, the adsorption member 421 is provided with a limiting groove. The bottom of the limiting groove has a suction hole, and part of the first workpiece can be inserted into the limiting groove, with the first workpiece abutting against the bottom of the limiting groove. This arrangement constrains part of the first workpiece, reducing the length of the first workpiece in its free state, thereby preventing significant shaking and improving the stability of the transfer process.

[0081] The second workpiece is tubular, and a transverse plate protrudes from its outer periphery. To improve the stability of clamping the second workpiece, in this embodiment, the clamping member 431 includes a gripper cylinder 4311 and two clamping plates 4312 disposed at the output end of the gripper cylinder 4311. A first baffle 4313 and a second baffle 4314 are respectively provided on opposite sides of the two clamping plates 4312. A receiving groove is formed between the two first baffles 4313 and the two second baffles 4314. A transverse plate extends outward from the sidewall of the second workpiece and is located within the receiving groove. Specifically, each clamping plate 4312 is provided with a first baffle 4313 and a second baffle 4314. In one clamping plate 4312, the first baffle 4313 is located above the second baffle 4314. In this embodiment, one side of the horizontal plate is located between the first baffle 4313 and the second baffle 4314 of one of the clamping pieces 4312, and the other side of the horizontal plate is located between the first baffle 4313 and the second baffle 4314 of the other clamping piece 4312. Each of the two second baffles 4314 has a clearance opening on its opposite side, the opening being arc-shaped with an arc diameter adapted to the diameter of the second workpiece. This arrangement restricts the degrees of freedom of the second workpiece in the Z-direction and the horizontal direction, improving the stability of the second workpiece transfer process.

[0082] In this embodiment, the first workpiece can be a rubber stopper in a blood glucose meter, which is a soft, cylindrical structure. The second workpiece can be a cannula in a blood glucose meter, which is a rigid, tubular structure. In other embodiments, the first and second workpieces can also be two other components that can be connected and assembled.

[0083] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here.
