Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of production line equipment technology, and in particular to an integrated device for screen mounting process. Background Technology

[0002] The screen installation process for electronic products, such as smartwatches or mobile phones, is generally achieved through a production line. The entire process involves multiple steps. The production line transports the workpieces to the corresponding workstations for each step. Each piece of equipment completes its corresponding action at a workstation to achieve the transport and installation of the screen.

[0003] In related technologies, workpiece conveying is generally achieved through synchronous belts or chain conveyors. Multiple workpiece carriers are arranged at equal intervals along the synchronous belt or chain, allowing multiple workpieces to move synchronously on the synchronous belt or chain. However, because the distances between each process station may vary, the next workpiece may not have arrived at its station while the previous workpiece is performing its corresponding process, thus increasing the overall process time. Alternatively, because the durations of different processes may differ, the next workpiece may not have completed its corresponding process while the previous workpiece has, forcing the previous workpiece to wait for the next workpiece to complete its process before moving synchronously, further increasing the overall process time. This type of production line equipment has a long overall process flow, low production efficiency, and is difficult to adapt to the demands of fast-paced, high-efficiency production. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides an integrated device for screen installation process, which can solve the problems of long overall process time and low production efficiency of existing equipment.

Along the movement direction of the movers, the clamping mechanism, the dispensing mechanism, the assembly mechanism, the labeling mechanism, and the detection mechanism are sequentially arranged above the stator track. The controller is electrically connected to the conveying mechanism and is configured to control each mover to move independently relative to the stator track.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0027] In related technologies, workpieces are generally transported using synchronous belts or plate chains, with each workpiece moving synchronously. This results in technical problems such as long overall process time and low production efficiency in screen installation.

[0028] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application proposes an integrated device for screen mounting processes, used for the automated delivery and installation of screens in electronic devices, such as smartwatches or mobile phones. Please refer to... Figures 1 to 3 The integrated equipment for this screen installation process includes a conveying mechanism 10, a clamping mechanism 20, a dispensing mechanism 30, an assembly mechanism 40, a mounting mechanism 50, and a testing mechanism 60.

[0029] The conveying mechanism 10 includes a stator track 11 and multiple movers 12, all of which move along the stator track 11 via magnetic force. Each mover 12 is equipped with a tray 121 for carrying workpieces. A clamping mechanism 20 is used to place the workpiece to be processed into the tray 121. A dispensing mechanism 30 is used to dispense adhesive onto the workpiece to be processed in the tray 121. An assembly mechanism 40 is used to press the screen onto the workpiece after dispensing adhesive. A labeling mechanism 50 is used to label the workpiece after the screen is installed. A detection mechanism 60 is used to detect the labeled workpiece. Along the movement direction of the movers 12, the clamping mechanism 20, the dispensing mechanism 30, the assembly mechanism 40, the labeling mechanism 50, and the detection mechanism 60 are sequentially arranged above the stator track 11, and each mechanism sequentially completes the corresponding process for the movers 12 passing below the stator track 11.

[0030] Multiple movers 12 move on the stator track 11, allowing for the simultaneous installation of multiple screens. This application embodiment uses a watch screen installation process as an example for detailed explanation. The integrated equipment is used to install the screen onto the workpiece to be processed. The screen is defined as the watch's glass cover, and the workpiece to be processed is defined as a watch with a PCB board, battery, and other circuit components already installed, and the next step is to install the glass cover. Taking the movement trajectory of one of the multiple movers 12 as an example, the specific process flow is as follows: The mover 12 moves along the stator track 11 to a station below the clamping mechanism 20 and stops. The clamping mechanism 20 clamps the watch onto the mover 12 tray 121 and fixes it, completing the loading process; The mover 12 carries the watch and moves to a station below the dispensing mechanism 30 and stops. The dispensing mechanism 30 applies adhesive to the areas around the watch frame where the screen is to be pasted, completing the dispensing process; The mover 12 carries the dispensed watch and moves to a station below the assembly mechanism 40 and stops. The assembly mechanism 40 clamps the glass cover and... The glass cover is moved to the corresponding part of the watch and pressed tightly, ensuring a secure bond between the glass cover and the watch bezel, completing the assembly process. The mover 12, carrying the watch with the glass cover installed, moves to a station below the mounting mechanism 50 and stops. The mounting mechanism 50 labels the watch, assigning it a corresponding product number, completing the labeling process. The mover 12, carrying the labeled watch, moves to a station below the inspection mechanism 60 and stops. The inspection mechanism 60 inspects the adhesion between the glass cover and the watch, checking for excess adhesive or misalignment, and distinguishes between qualified and unqualified products. This completes the entire screen installation process, which requires no manual intervention. Each mechanism can automatically identify the mover 12 at its corresponding station and complete the corresponding process, resulting in a high degree of automation.

[0031] To control the movement of the mover 12 on the stator track 11, the integrated device in this embodiment of the application further includes a controller (not shown in the figure). The controller is electrically connected to the conveying mechanism 10 and is configured to control each mover 12 to move independently relative to the stator track 11. For example, when the distance between each process station is different, the controller can control each mover 12 to move to the corresponding station of each mechanism to perform the corresponding process, avoiding the situation where one or more of the clamping mechanism 20, dispensing mechanism 30, assembly mechanism 40, mounting mechanism 50, and detection mechanism 60 are idle and not working, making the production rhythm more compact and reducing the overall process time. For another example, when the duration of different processes is different, when the previous mover 12 completes the corresponding process, the controller can control the mover 12 to move away from the station and control the next mover 12 to move to the station to perform the corresponding process, thereby improving production efficiency. Compared to related technologies that use synchronous belts or plate chains for workpiece transport, the integrated screen installation equipment of this application uses magnetic drive, which provides fast start-up acceleration, high positioning accuracy, and more flexible start and stop of the mover 12. By independently controlling the movement of each mover 12, idle workstations are avoided, overall process time is reduced, production pace is accelerated, and production efficiency is improved. Furthermore, by setting up a conveyor mechanism 10 and sequentially integrating the clamping mechanism 20, dispensing mechanism 30, assembly mechanism 40, mounting mechanism 50, and detection mechanism 60 above the conveyor mechanism 10, the entire screen installation process can be completed with a single stator track 11. This results in a small equipment footprint, high automation, and reduced labor costs.

[0032] It should be noted that this integrated device has diverse functions and applications; this embodiment only uses watch screen installation as an example. In other embodiments, the integrated device can also be used for mobile phone screen installation. The screen can be the glass cover of the mobile phone, and the workpiece to be processed can be the mobile phone for which the next step is to install the glass cover. The process flow is similar to that of watch screen installation, and the beneficial effects are the same as above. Alternatively, the integrated device can also be used for circuit board installation in electronic products, such as installing a circuit board into a watch bezel. The specific process flow is similar to that of watch screen installation, except that the aforementioned glass cover is replaced with a circuit board, and the beneficial effects are the same as above.

[0033] For details, please refer to further information. Figure 1 and Figure 2The integrated device in this embodiment also includes a base 70, which provides the mounting foundation and support for each mechanism. In the illustrated embodiment, the base 70 is a hollow rectangular box structure, and each mechanism is mounted on the base 70. Electronic components such as batteries and control circuit boards can be housed inside the base 70. The control lines and power supply lines of each mechanism can be concealed within the base 70, and electrical connections between the mechanisms are achieved by drilling holes in the top plate of the base 70 for wire threading. Preferably, the base 70 has an openable cabinet door on its side, facilitating maintenance of the components and wiring within the base 70 by operators. The bottom of the base 70 may be equipped with casters to facilitate the overall movement and transportation of the integrated device, adapting to different working environments. Of course, in other embodiments, the base 70 may not be required, and each mechanism may be directly mounted on the ground or a supporting platform. The base 70 can also be a fixed or slidable structure, which is not limited herein.

[0034] The mover 12 moves along the stator track 11 via magnetic force. Specifically, the stator track 11 is provided with an armature winding, and the mover 12 is provided with a permanent magnet array. The mover 12 is slidably connected to the stator track 11, and the permanent magnet array covers both sides of the armature winding. When the armature winding is energized, it generates a magnetic field. Under current excitation, the permanent magnet array generates a driving force that can propel the mover 12. Under this driving force, the mover 12 slides along the stator track 11. The speed of the mover 12 can be changed by adjusting the magnetic field strength generated by the armature winding, making the movement of the mover 12 more precise and controllable. The specific working principle of the magnetic drive method has been disclosed in related technologies and will not be elaborated here.

[0035] Furthermore, to achieve precise control of the movement position of each mover 12, an encoder array (not shown in the figure) is provided on the stator track 11, and a sensing unit (not shown in the figure) is provided on the mover 12. When the mover 12 moves on the stator track 11, the signal emitted by the sensing element is read by the encoder array on the stator track 11. The controller is electrically connected to the encoder array and the armature winding of the stator track 11 respectively, so as to obtain the position information of the mover 12 through the encoder array, and control the corresponding armature winding of the stator track 11 to activate or de-energize according to the obtained position information of the mover 12 and the preset target position of the mover 12, thereby controlling the mover 12 to move or stop moving at the target position. Specifically, the encoder can be a magnetic grating reader or an optical grating reader, and the sensing element is a corresponding magnetic grating or optical grating. When the mover 12 moves on the stator track 11, the sensing element passes through the encoder array, and the encoder array can obtain the position information of the mover 12 in real time and transmit the position information to the controller. The controller pre-determines the armature winding area of ​​the stator track 11 to be covered by the mover 12 based on the preset target position of the mover 12, such as the corresponding workstation position of each mechanism. It pre-energizes the armature winding of the mover 12, and the excitation magnetic field generated by the armature winding interacts with the permanent magnet array of the mover 12 to generate thrust, causing the mover 12 to translate. When the mover 12 is about to reach the target position, the controller de-energizes the armature winding 3121 of the stator track 11 at the target position, and the mover 12 stops moving upon reaching the target position. The controller controls each mover 12 individually, meaning each mover 12 moves independently relative to the others, thus achieving precise control of the movement of multiple movers 12.

[0036] It should be noted that the stator track 11 can be composed of multiple stator modules. Each stator module can be manufactured according to a standard length, which facilitates the overall production and assembly / disassembly of the stator track 11. Depending on the required stroke length of the mover 12, different numbers of stator modules can be connected to form the stator track 11 of the required length.

[0037] In some embodiments, the stator track 11 includes a fixed track 111 and a movable track 112. The conveying mechanism 10 further includes a connecting module 13, on which the movable track 112 is disposed. The connecting module 13 is used to move the movable track 112, which is to be connected to an external conveyor line, to be connected to the fixed track 111, and / or to move the movable track 112, which is connected to one fixed track 111, to be connected to another fixed track 111. Thus, the stator track 11 does not need to be linear; it can be circular, polygonal, or other shapes, making the track arrangement more compact and saving space occupied by the stator track 11, thereby reducing the overall size of the integrated equipment. Each fixed track 111 can be composed of one or more stator units connected together. The movable track 112 is located on the connecting module 13. Each movable track 112 can be composed of one stator unit. The connecting module 13 has a moving function and is electrically connected to the controller. The controller can control the connecting module to move the movable track 112 from the position connected to the external conveyor line to the position connected to the fixed track 111, or to move the movable track 112 from the position connected to one fixed track 111 to the position connected to another fixed track 111. Through the movement of the movable track 112, the mover 12 can realize the entry and exit of the external conveyor line and the stator track 11 of the integrated equipment, as well as the movement of the mover 12 on the entire stator track 11.

[0038] In the illustrated embodiment, two fixed tracks 111 and two movable tracks 112 are provided. The two fixed tracks 111 include a first fixed track 111A and a second fixed track 111B, which are arranged in parallel. Two connection modules 13 are provided, including a first connection module 13A and a second connection module 13B. The first connection module 13A and the second connection module 13B are located at the near ends of the first fixed track 111A and the second fixed track 111B, respectively. Each of the first connection module 13A and the second connection module 13B is provided with a movable track 112. The two fixed tracks 111 and the two movable tracks 112 together form a circumferentially connected stator track 11, further saving the space occupied by the stator track 11 arrangement.

[0039] Specifically, two fixed rails 111 can be fixed to the base 70 by means of screwing, welding, etc. The fixed rails 111 are linear rails, so that the moving part 12 does not need to adjust the moving angle during the movement of the fixed rails 111, thus improving the moving efficiency. The connecting module 13 can be an electric push rod, which has a movable block 131 that can be driven by a motor to move back and forth. The connecting module 13 is located inside the base 70, for example, fixed to the inner side wall of the top plate of the base 70. The top plate of the base 70 has a slot 71. A part of the movable block 131 extends through the slot 71 to the outside of the base 70. The slot 71 also provides the moving space for the movable block 131 to move back and forth. The movable rail 112 can be fixed to the movable block 131 by means of screwing, bonding, etc. The movable rail 112 is a linear rail, which makes the movement of the moving part 12 at the connection between the fixed rails 111 and the movable rails 112 smoother and more fluid. Thus, the movable block 131 of the connecting module 13 can drive the movable track 112 to reciprocate, so that the movable track 112 can be connected to the two fixed tracks 111 respectively. By hiding the connecting module 13 inside the base 70, the movable track 112 and the fixed track 111 on the surface of the base 70 can be at the same horizontal level and successfully dock. At the same time, the base 70 plays a certain protective role for the connecting module 13, avoiding collision damage to the connecting module 13.

[0040] Please refer to further information. Figure 3 ,by Figure 3 Taking the angle shown as an example, the mover 12 moves counterclockwise on the stator track 11, and the two fixed tracks 111 are arranged vertically. Figure 3 The fixed track 111 on the lower middle side is the first fixed track 111A. Figure 3 The fixed track 111 on the upper middle side is the second fixed track 111B; two movable tracks 112 and two corresponding connecting modules 13 are arranged on the left and right, defining... Figure 3 The connection module 13 on the left is the first connection module 13A. Figure 3The connecting module 13 on the right is the second connecting module 13B. The clamping mechanism 20, the dispensing mechanism 30, and the assembly mechanism 40 are sequentially arranged above the first fixed track 111A. The labeling mechanism is located between the first fixed track 111A and the second fixed track 111B. The detection mechanism 60 is located above the second fixed track 111B. The first connecting module 13A and its corresponding movable track 112 are used to connect to tracks of other conveyor lines, and the second connecting module 13B and its corresponding movable track 112 are used to connect to the two fixed tracks 111. For example, in some embodiments, the integrated equipment is surrounded by a first conveyor line (not shown) for conveying empty stators, a second conveyor line (not shown) for conveying watch parts with qualified screen installations to the next production line, and a third conveyor line (not shown) for conveying watch parts with unqualified screen installations to the scrap production line. Correspondingly, the movable track 112 on the first connecting module 13A has a first preset position connected to the first conveyor line, a second preset position connected to the second conveyor line, and a third preset position connected to the third conveyor line. When the screen installation process begins, the controller controls the movable track 112 on the first connecting module 13A to be in the first preset position. The mover 12 moves from the first conveyor line to the movable track 112 on the first connecting module 13A. The first connecting module 13A controls the corresponding movable track 112 to connect with the first fixed track 111A. The mover 12 moves from the movable track 112 on the first connecting module 13A to the first fixed track 111A. Then, the mover 12 passes through the first fixed track 111A to complete the corresponding processes of the clamping mechanism 20, the dispensing mechanism 30, and the assembly mechanism 40. Then, it moves through the movable track 112 on the second connecting module 13B to the second fixed track 111B. On the second fixed track 111B, it completes the corresponding processes of the labeling mechanism and the detection mechanism 60. Finally, it returns to the movable track 112 on the first connecting module 13A. If the watch screen installation on the mover 12 passes the inspection by the testing agency 60, the controller controls the corresponding movable track 112 to move to the second preset position via the first connecting module 13A. The mover 12, carrying the qualified workpiece, moves from the movable track 112 on the first connecting module 13A to the second conveyor line, thereby conveying the qualified workpiece to the next production line. If the watch screen installation on the mover 12 fails the inspection by the testing agency 60, the controller controls the corresponding movable track 112 to move to the third preset position via the first connecting module 13A. The mover 12, carrying the unqualified workpiece, moves from the movable track 112 on the first connecting module 13A to the third conveyor line, thereby conveying the unqualified workpiece to the waste production line for further processing. By setting up the connecting module 13, the track changing process of the mover 12 is convenient and quick, with high conveying efficiency.

[0041] Understandably, this application does not impose specific restrictions on the structural form of the stator track 11 and the connecting module 13. In some embodiments, only one connecting module 13 may be provided. For example, the movable track 112 on the second connecting module 13B in the above embodiment may be replaced with an arc-shaped fixed track, and only the first connecting module 13A may be retained. The two ends of the arc-shaped fixed track are directly connected to the two straight fixed tracks 111 above and below. The mover 12 can move circumferentially along the fixed track, and the mover 12 can enter and exit the stator track 11 through the movable track 112 on the first connecting module 13A. In some embodiments, the stator track 11 may include only one fixed track 111 and two movable tracks 112 respectively located at the beginning and end of the fixed track 111. Two connecting modules 13 are provided accordingly. The fixed track 111 can be straight or curved. The mover 12 does not change tracks during the screen installation process. The movable track 112 and connecting module 13 at the beginning of the fixed track 111 are used to connect to the first conveyor line, and the movable track 112 and connecting module 13 at the end of the fixed track 111 are used to connect to the second and third conveyor lines. The mover 12 enters and exits the stator track 11 through the two connecting modules 13 at the beginning and end of the fixed track 111. In still other embodiments, the stator track 11 may include two or more fixed tracks 111. The multiple fixed tracks 111 are parallel or inclined at a preset angle. Movable tracks 112 are provided between adjacent or corresponding fixed tracks 111 to realize track changing and movement of the mover 12 between multiple fixed tracks 111. In some embodiments, the connecting module 13 can also be other structures, such as a rotating platform. The movable track 112 is fixed on the rotating platform, and the rotating platform drives the movable track 112 to rotate, thereby realizing the track-changing movement of the mover 12 on the two fixed tracks 111 or the entry and exit of the mover 12 on the stator track 11 of the integrated device. Under the guidance of the above embodiments, different structural forms of the conveying mechanism 10 formed according to the number and structure of different fixed tracks 111, movable tracks 112 and connecting modules 13 are all within the protection scope of this application.

[0042] Preferably, to prevent the movable track 112 from detaching from either the fixed track 111 or the movable track 112 due to incomplete docking between the movable track 112 and the fixed track 111, an anti-derailment component 80 is provided at the connection point between the fixed track 111 and the movable track 112 to limit the track-changing movement of the movable track 12 at the connection point. For details, please refer to... Figure 4The anti-derailment assembly 80 includes an abutment member 81, a limiting rod 82, and a fixing base 83. The fixing base 83 is fixed to the base 70 by screws. The limiting rod 82 is hinged to the fixing base 83. The abutment member 81 is connected to the limiting rod 82 by a connecting rod 84, and the abutment member 81 is suspended. At the connection between the fixed track 111 and the movable track 112, the position of the limiting rod 82 corresponds to the fixed track 111, and the position of the abutment member 81 corresponds to the movable track 112. Under normal conditions, the end of the limit rod 82 can block the movement path of the movable element 12 on the fixed track 111. When the movable track 112 is moved by the docking module 13 and docks with the fixed track 111, one side of the movable track 112 contacts the suspended abutment 81 and pushes the abutment 81 to move. The movement of the abutment 81 causes the limit rod 82 to rotate relative to the fixed seat 83, so that the end of the limit rod 82 gradually moves away from the movement path of the movable element 12. When the movable track 112 is fully docked with the fixed track 111, the end of the limit rod 82 does not block the movement path of the movable element 12. The movable element 12 can move smoothly from the fixed track 111 to the movable track 112 or from the movable track 112 to the fixed track 111, avoiding safety accidents such as derailment or flying out when the movable element 12 moves before docking is completed.

[0043] In some embodiments, the clamping mechanism 20, the dispensing mechanism 30, and the assembly mechanism 40 each include a horizontal moving unit 31 and a vertical moving unit 32. See also... Figure 5Taking the dispensing mechanism 30 as an example, the horizontal moving unit 31 and the vertical moving unit 32 will be specifically described. The dispensing mechanism 30 includes a horizontal moving unit 31, a vertical moving unit 32, and a glue gun 33. The horizontal moving unit 31 is connected to the vertical moving unit 32 and is used to drive the vertical moving unit 32 to move horizontally, for example, along an extension direction perpendicular to the first fixed track 111A. The vertical moving unit 32 is connected to the glue gun 33 and is used to drive the glue gun 33 to move vertically. The glue gun 33 is connected to a glue delivery line for dispensing glue onto the watch frame. Both the horizontal moving unit 31 and the vertical moving unit 32 are electrically connected to the controller. During operation, the mover 12 carries the watch to a position below the dispensing mechanism 30 and stops. The controller then controls the horizontal moving unit 31 to move, driving the vertical moving unit 32 and the glue gun 33 to move horizontally, aligning the nozzle of the glue gun 33 with the dispensing position on the watch. The controller then controls the vertical moving unit 32 to move the glue gun 33 vertically, gradually bringing the nozzle closer to the dispensing position on the watch to a suitable distance. Finally, the glue gun 33 dispenses glue, completing one dispensing operation. By continuously adjusting the relative position and distance between the glue gun 33 and the watch through the horizontal moving unit 31 and the vertical moving unit 32, glue is dispensed from all positions on the watch, completing the entire dispensing process. This process is automatically completed by the dispensing mechanism 30 under the control of the controller, resulting in high dispensing accuracy and speed, which improves production efficiency.

[0044] Specifically, the horizontal moving unit 31 may include a base 311 and a connecting plate 312, and the vertical moving unit 32 is disposed on the connecting plate 312. In the illustrated embodiment, the base 311 may be a rectangular structure, and two support legs 3111 are provided on the bottom side of the base 311. The support legs 3111 are used to support the horizontal moving unit 31 and raise it to a certain height position, so that there is enough space to adjust the relative distance between the glue gun 33 and the mover 12. The bottom end of the support leg 3111 can be fixed to the base 70 by means of screwing, welding or other methods to fix the glue dispensing mechanism 30 as a whole. The two support legs 3111 are respectively located on both sides of the first fixed track 111A, so that when the glue gun 33 moves to the top of the first fixed track 111A, the two support legs 3111 can stably support the glue dispensing mechanism 30, and at the same time, it is beneficial for the glue gun 33 to move horizontally along the extension direction perpendicular to the first fixed track 111A to adjust its position. The connection structure between the base 311 and the connecting plate 312 is similar to the connection structure between the stator track 11 and the mover 12. The base 311 is provided with a permanent magnet array 3112 and a slide rail 3113. The connecting plate 312 is provided with an armature winding 3121 and a slider 3122. The armature winding 3121 on the connecting plate 312 is placed between the two permanent magnet arrays 3112 on the base 311. At the same time, the slider 3122 on the connecting plate 312 is slidably connected to the slide rail 3113 on the base 311. The controller can control the armature winding 3121 to be energized to generate a magnetic field. Under the excitation of the current, the permanent magnet array generates a driving force that can push the connecting plate 312 to move. Under this driving force, the slider 3122 slides along the slide rail 3113, so that the connecting plate 312 slides relative to the base 311 along the extension direction of the slide rail 3113. The vertical moving unit 32 can be fixed to the connecting plate 312 by screwing. The movement of the connecting plate 312 drives the vertical moving unit 32 to move as a whole.

[0045] The vertical moving unit 32 may include a motor 321, a lead screw and nut assembly 322, and a moving plate 323. The glue gun 33 is mounted on the moving plate 323. The motor 321 is connected to the lead screw of the lead screw and nut assembly 322 via a drive connection. The moving plate 323 is fixedly connected to the nut of the lead screw and nut assembly 322. The lead screw of the lead screw and nut assembly 322 is vertically oriented and restricted to rotation only, without changing its position relative to the motor 321. The nut of the lead screw and nut assembly 322 is restricted from rotating synchronously with the lead screw. When the motor 321 drives the lead screw of the lead screw and nut assembly 322 to rotate, the nut can only move up and down on the lead screw, thereby moving the moving plate 323. The glue gun 33 can be fixed to the moving plate 323 by screwing, bonding, or other means. The movement of the moving plate 323 causes the glue gun 33 to move up and down.

[0046] Of course, in other embodiments, the horizontal moving unit 31 and the vertical moving unit 32 can also be other linear drive mechanisms such as pneumatic push rods and hydraulic cylinders, all of which can achieve the moving effect described in the above embodiments. It is understood that the structure of the horizontal moving unit 31 and the vertical moving unit 32 on the clamping mechanism 20 and the assembly mechanism 40 is similar to that of the dispensing mechanism 30, and will not be described in detail here.

[0047] Please see Figure 6 The clamping mechanism 20 also includes a first gripper 21. The vertical moving unit 32 of the clamping mechanism 20 is connected to the first gripper 21. The first gripper 21 can be an electrically driven two-finger mechanical gripper. By electrically driving the two mechanical fingers to move closer or further apart, the watch workpiece can be gripped or unloaded. Furthermore, the first gripper 21 needs to be powered and receive control signals when driven, so the first gripper 21 is usually connected to an external cable. To avoid interference between the cable and other components during the movement of the vertical moving unit 32, resulting in poor contact and other adverse effects, a cable carrier 22 is provided on the vertical moving unit 32. The cable carrier 22 has a hollow structure and is used to accommodate and bundle the cable. In actual operation, the clamping mechanism 20 is used to clamp and place the watch on the tray 121 of the mover 12. The watch workpiece can be pre-placed in a fixed position next to the clamping mechanism 20. The first gripper 21 is electrically connected to the controller. The controller can control the horizontal moving unit 31, the vertical moving unit 32, and the first gripper 21 to cooperate with each other to clamp the watch onto the tray 121 and fix it. Preferably, the tray 121 may be provided with a clamp (not shown in the figure) that is adapted to the shape of the watch, so that the watch workpiece can be stably placed and fixed in the clamp, preventing the watch workpiece from flying out of the tray 121 during the movement of the rotor 12 or from shaking during subsequent processes such as dispensing and assembly, which is conducive to the stable progress of the screen installation process.

[0048] Of course, in other embodiments, the first gripper 21 can also be an electric, pneumatic, or hydraulic three-finger mechanical gripper, five-finger mechanical gripper, or other structures, which are not limited herein. In the illustrated embodiment, the assembly mechanism also includes a second gripper, and the vertical moving unit 32 of the clamping mechanism 20 is connected to the second gripper. The second gripper has a similar structure to the first gripper 21, and will not be described in detail here.

[0049] Please see Figure 7In the illustrated embodiment, the mounting mechanism 50 includes a base 51, a first driving member (not shown), a large arm 52, a second driving member (not shown), a small arm 53, a third driving member (not shown), a movable rod 54, and a mounting nozzle 55. The base 51 serves as a support for mounting, and the entire mounting mechanism 50 is mounted on the base 70 via the base 51, specifically through a bolt connection. One end of the large arm 52 is rotatably connected to the base 51, and the other end is rotatably connected to the small arm 53. The movable rod 54 is threaded to the end of the small arm 53 furthest from the large arm 52, and the mounting nozzle 55 is connected to the movable rod 54. The first driving component is located within the base 51, driving the upper arm 52 to rotate horizontally relative to the base 51, thereby enabling the placement nozzle 55 to move on the plane. The second driving component is located within the upper arm 52, driving the lower arm 53 to rotate horizontally relative to the upper arm 52. By rotating the lower arm 53, the relative distance between the placement nozzle 55 and the upper arm 52 can be adjusted, thereby enabling the placement nozzle 55 to move in more directions on the plane. The third driving component is located within the lower arm 53, driving the movable rod 54 to move vertically via a thread, thereby enabling the placement nozzle 55 to move vertically. The placement nozzle 55 can be fixed to the bottom end of the movable rod 54 for attaching labels to the watch workpiece to assign a corresponding product number to the watch, facilitating subsequent retrieval of a specific watch and statistical analysis of the overall process efficiency and pass rate. In actual operation, the first, second, and third driving components can all be motor structures, driven by the output shaft of the motor. The first, second, and third driving components are all electrically connected to the controller. The controller controls the first and second driving components to rotate the large arm 52 and the small arm 53, aligning the labeling nozzle 55 with the watch. The controller also controls the third driving component to gradually move the labeling nozzle 55 closer to the watch to a suitable distance for labeling. Furthermore, the labeling mechanism 50 is positioned between the first fixed track 111A and the second fixed track 111B. When the mover 12 is located on either the first fixed track 111A or the second fixed track 111B, the labeling mechanism 50 can perform the labeling operation on the watch carried by that mover 12. Since the labeling process is time-consuming, the mover 12 is prone to accumulation after assembly. The placement of the labeling mechanism 50 between the first fixed track 111A and the second fixed track 111B allows for sufficient space, such as the movable track 112 buffering the mover 12. The labeling mechanism 50 can perform labeling on the mover 12 at various positions by rotating the large arm 52 and the small arm 53, increasing the flexibility of the integrated equipment's labeling process. The mounting mechanism 50 has a compact overall layout and high flexibility, which is conducive to the accurate and rapid mounting of watch parts.

[0050] Please see Figure 8In the illustrated embodiment, the inspection mechanism 60 includes a gantry 61 and an industrial camera 62. The gantry 61 is fixed to the base 70 and provides a mounting base for the industrial camera 62, elevating it to a certain height to allow sufficient space for the camera to take a top-down image of the workpiece on the mover 12. The industrial camera 62 acquires an image of the watch on the mover 12 and automatically determines whether the watch screen installation quality meets requirements, such as whether there is excess glue or misalignment. The industrial camera 62 is electrically connected to the controller and transmits the inspection results to the controller. If the inspection is qualified, the controller can control the mover 12 to carry the qualified workpiece to the next production line. If the inspection is unqualified, the controller can control the mover 12 to carry the unqualified workpiece to the scrap production line, thereby controlling the screen installation process quality and preventing the production of defective products.
