Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of automation equipment, and in particular to an assembly equipment. Background Art

[0002] As a core component of terminal products, buttons directly affect the user experience. Existing button structures are mainly divided into integrated and detachable types. Detachable buttons are widely used in terminal products due to their advantages of simple assembly and good feel.

[0003] However, the conductive base of a split key needs to be individually installed into the keyhole of the end product, and this is currently primarily done manually. However, the small size of the conductive base makes manual assembly inefficient and difficult, requiring high levels of manual skill. Furthermore, manual work carries the risk of missing or incomplete assembly, making it difficult to guarantee end product production capacity. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present application provides an assembly device that can be used in the assembly of parts of terminal products. Using this assembly device can realize automated assembly, solve the problems of assembly difficulty and low efficiency caused by the small size of the parts to be assembled, and solve the dependence of assembly work on manpower, thereby improving assembly efficiency, assembly consistency and assembly reliability.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the embodiments of the present application adopt the following technical solutions:

[0006] In a first aspect, the present application provides an assembly device for assembling parts to be assembled into the assembly space of an electronic device. The assembly device includes a base, a fixing mechanism, a feeding mechanism, a support member, and a picking mechanism. The fixing mechanism is connected to the base and is used to fix the electronic device. The feeding mechanism is connected to the base, and a plurality of parts to be assembled are stored in the feeding mechanism. The feeding mechanism is provided with a discharge port. The support member is connected to the base, and a loading hole is provided on the support member. The loading hole is a through hole. The picking mechanism includes a first driving member and a picking member. The picking member is provided on a supporting plane of the support member. The first driving member drives the picking member to move on the supporting plane. The picking member and the fixing mechanism are respectively located on either side of the support member. The picking member is provided with at least one picking hole. The picking hole is a through hole. The loading hole is larger than or equal to the picking hole. When the picking member moves to a first preset position, the picking hole is aligned with the discharge port to obtain the parts to be assembled required for the assembly of the electronic device. When the material taking member moves to the second preset position, the material taking hole is aligned with the loading hole and the assembly space of the electronic device, and the parts to be assembled are assembled into the assembly space of the electronic device.

[0007] In this way, by fixing the electronic device to be assembled on the fixing mechanism, the fixing mechanism provides support for the electronic device, so that the electronic device can be in a preset assembly position. By storing a large number of parts to be assembled in the feeding mechanism, the material picking mechanism can continuously pick up materials from the feeding mechanism, and different electronic devices can be assembled. By setting a material picking member and a first driving member, the first driving member can drive the material picking member to move, so that the material picking member can pick up materials and transport the materials to the preset assembly position. By setting the material picking member and the fixing mechanism to be located on both sides of the support member respectively, the parts to be assembled stored in the material picking member can pass through the loading hole on the support member and be assembled into the electronic device fixed by the fixing mechanism.

[0008] The feeding hole is a specific form of the feeding part for taking materials and storing parts to be assembled. The size and depth of the feeding hole can be set to match the parts to be assembled, so that the feeding part only obtains the parts to be assembled required for the assembly of one electronic device during a single assembly process. By setting both the feeding hole and the loading hole as through holes, when the feeding hole is aligned with the loading hole and aligned with the assembly space of the electronic device, the parts to be assembled in the feeding hole can pass through the loading hole and be assembled into the assembly space of the electronic device. By setting the loading hole to be larger than or equal to the feeding hole, it is avoided that the loading hole is smaller than the parts to be assembled, thereby preventing the parts to be assembled from getting stuck at the entrance of the loading hole.

[0009] In a possible design of the first aspect, when the picking member moves on the support plane, the picking member blocks the discharge port when the picking member is not in the first preset position, and the support member blocks the picking hole when the picking member is not in the second preset position.

[0010] In this way, since the picker picks up materials by aligning the picker hole with the discharge port, after the picker finishes picking up materials and leaves the first preset position, the picker seals the discharge port, preventing the parts to be assembled in the feeding mechanism from continuously leaking out of the discharge port. Since the picker hole is a through hole, when the picker is not in the second preset position, the support member seals the picker hole, allowing the parts to be assembled to be stored in the picker hole until the picker is in the second preset position, at which point the parts to be assembled leave the picker hole and are assembled into the electronic device.

[0011] In a possible design of the first aspect, the first driving member drives the material picking member to reciprocate along a straight line between the first preset position and the second preset position on the supporting plane.

[0012] This design demonstrates a specific movement pattern for the picker, namely, reciprocating motion in a single direction. Its linear motion path allows for rapid arrival at the picker or assembly location, reducing assembly time and facilitating design.

[0013] In a possible design of the first aspect, the feeding mechanism includes a loading mechanism and a storage mechanism, the storage mechanism is connected to the loading mechanism through a conveying device, the loading mechanism is fixed on the base, and the storage mechanism is fixedly connected to the support.

[0014] In this way, by setting up a feeding mechanism and a storage mechanism, the feeding mechanism stores a large number of parts to be assembled, which can meet the assembly needs of multiple electronic devices (for example, more than three), and the storage mechanism can store the assembly needs of one or more electronic devices (less than or equal to three). Generally, the storage mechanism stores the assembly needs of one electronic device. The material picking part is used to pick up and store the parts to be assembled for one electronic device. The storage mechanism is set up to facilitate the coordination with the material picking part.

[0015] In a possible design of the first aspect, the storage mechanism includes a storage piece, which is fixedly connected to the support piece. The storage piece is provided with at least one storage hole, which is a through hole and a discharge port. The material taking piece can slide relative to the storage piece.

[0016] In this way, by providing a storage member and providing a storage hole on the storage member, the loading mechanism can transport the parts to be assembled into the storage hole for storage. The storage hole is provided as a through hole, which facilitates the material taking member to take the parts to be assembled from the bottom of the through hole. By fixing the storage member on the support member, it is convenient to cooperate with the material taking member on the support member. The material taking member and the storage member slide relative to each other. When the material taking member slides to the point where the material taking hole is aligned with the storage hole, the material can be taken; when the material taking member slides to the point where the material taking hole is not aligned with the storage hole, the material taking member can block the storage hole, making it convenient for the storage hole to store the parts to be assembled.

[0017] In a possible design method of the first aspect, the depth of the material collection hole is equal to the length of the part to be assembled, the size of the material collection hole matches the size of the part to be assembled, the depth of the material storage hole is equal to the length of the part to be assembled, and the size of the material storage hole matches the size of the part to be assembled.

[0018] In this way, the sizes of the material taking holes and the material storage holes are matched with the sizes of the parts to be assembled, that is, each of the material taking holes and the material storage holes can store one part to be assembled.

[0019] In one possible design of the first aspect, the accumulator is provided with three accumulating holes, the extractor is provided with three extracting holes, and the support member is provided with three charging holes. When the extractor is in a first preset position, each extracting hole is aligned with a accumulating hole; when the extractor is in a second preset position, each extracting hole is aligned with a charging hole.

[0020] This design method shows a specific arrangement of the storage hole, the material extraction hole and the charging hole.

[0021] In a possible design of the first aspect, the conveying device is a catheter, and the size of the catheter matches the size of the parts to be assembled.

[0022] In this way, by setting the size of the conduit to match the size of the parts to be assembled, the parts to be assembled can be transported one by one into the material storage.

[0023] In a possible design of the first aspect, the conveying device includes three conduits, one end of each conduit is connected to the outlet of the feeding mechanism, and the other end is connected to the storage hole.

[0024] Thus, this design illustrates a specific arrangement of a conveying device. When the electronic device is a mobile phone and the parts to be assembled are conductive substrates, generally three conductive substrates need to be assembled in the mobile phone. Therefore, three conduits are provided to transport the conductive substrates required for one mobile phone at a time to the storage part.

[0025] In a possible design of the first aspect, the assembly equipment further includes:

[0026] The calibration mechanism includes a second drive member and a support member. The support member is connected to the base via the second drive member, which drives the support member to reciprocate between a third preset position and a fourth preset position. A guide block is provided on the support member. When the support member is in the third preset position, the guide block is located outside the assembly space. When the support member is in the fourth preset position, the guide block is located within the assembly space, and the loading hole is aligned with the assembly space.

[0027] In this way, by setting up a calibration mechanism, when there is a certain deviation between the positions of the electronic device and the material picking part, the positions of the electronic device and the material picking part can be calibrated so that the material picking part and the electronic device can form an assembly fit and the parts to be assembled in the material picking part can be assembled into the electronic device.

[0028] In a possible design manner of the first aspect, the second driving member drives the supporting member to move along a straight line between the third preset position and the fourth preset position.

[0029] This design shows a specific form of movement of the support.

[0030] In one possible design of the first aspect, the first driving member is a first cylinder, the cylinder body of the first cylinder is fixedly connected to the support member, and the material picking member is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the first cylinder. The second driving member is a second cylinder, the cylinder body of the second cylinder is fixedly connected to the base, and the support member is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the second cylinder.

[0031] This design method shows a specific design form of the first driving member and the second driving member.

[0032] In a possible design of the first aspect, the assembly equipment further includes:

[0033] The pushing mechanism is connected to the base and is used to push the parts to be assembled from the material picking piece into the assembly space of the electronic equipment.

[0034] In this way, by providing the pushing mechanism, the pushing mechanism helps to ensure that the parts to be assembled can be assembled in place.

[0035] In a possible design of the first aspect, the pushing mechanism includes a third driving member and a pushing member, a push rod is provided on the pushing member, the pushing member is connected to the fixing mechanism through the third driving member, and the third driving member drives the pushing member to reciprocate between the fifth preset position and the sixth preset position.

[0036] Thus, by providing a third driving member and a pushing member, the third driving member can drive the pushing member to reciprocate, thereby pushing the material and preventing the pushing mechanism from interfering with the transfer of the assembled electronic device. By providing a push rod on the pushing member, the push rod can extend into the material extraction hole and the material loading hole, preventing the parts to be assembled from getting stuck in the material extraction hole and the material loading hole, and can push the parts to be assembled into the assembly space of the electronic device.

[0037] In a possible design of the first aspect, the position of the push rod corresponds to the position of the charging hole, and three push rods are provided on the pusher.

[0038] This design method provides a specific setting form of the push rod.

[0039] In a possible design of the first aspect, the third driving member is a third cylinder, the cylinder body of the third cylinder is fixed on the fixing mechanism, and the pushing member is fixed on the piston rod of the third cylinder.

[0040] This design provides a specific arrangement of the third drive member and provides the direct specific connection mode of the pusher and the third cylinder. In addition, the third drive member may also be provided with other reciprocating motion devices or equipment except the cylinder.

[0041] In a possible design of the first aspect, the fixing mechanism includes a support base connected to the base, and an adsorption surface is provided on one side of the support base, and one or more suction cups are provided on the adsorption surface.

[0042] In this way, by providing one or more suction cups, the electronic device can be adsorbed on the adsorption surface of the support base, which is conducive to fixing the electronic device.

[0043] In a possible design of the first aspect, the loading mechanism includes a support frame and a vibration plate. The vibration plate is fixedly connected to the base through the support frame, and the parts to be assembled are located in the vibration plate.

[0044] In this way, by providing a support frame, the height of the vibration plate can be increased so that the parts to be assembled in the vibration plate can be smoothly transported to the storage mechanism in the loading mechanism. At the same time, the vibration plate itself can vibrate, which is conducive to the transportation of the parts to be assembled. The vibration plate can adopt relevant equipment in the existing technology. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0074] An embodiment of the present application provides an assembly device. The assembly device 100 is used to assemble some to-be-assembled parts of an electronic device 200 into an assembly space 210 of the electronic device 200 .

[0075] Specifically, electronic devices 200 include, but are not limited to, mobile phones, tablet computers, laptop computers, desktop computers, large-screen display devices, in-vehicle devices, and smart wearable devices. Smart wearable devices include, but are not limited to, smart watches, wristbands, and smart glasses. The parts to be assembled with electronic device 200 may be buttons on electronic device 200, such as a power button 201 or a volume control button 202.

[0076] In the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device 200 is taken as an example of a mobile phone, and the parts to be assembled of the electronic device 200 are described by taking the conductive bases of the power switch key 201 and the volume adjustment key 202 as an example.

[0077] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an electronic device provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, a power switch 201 and volume adjustment keys 202 are mounted on the side of electronic device 200. Power switch key 201 is connected to the internal circuitry of electronic device 200 via a conductive substrate. Volume adjustment keys 202 include a volume-up key and a volume-down key. The volume-up key and volume-down key are integrally formed, but each is connected to the internal circuitry via a conductive substrate. Therefore, volume adjustment keys 202 are connected to the internal circuitry via two conductive substrates.

[0078] The main body of electronic device 200 is provided with an assembly space 210, which includes a power switch key mounting slot and a volume adjustment key mounting slot. During assembly of electronic device 200, the conductive substrate corresponding to power switch key 201 needs to be assembled into the power switch key mounting slot, and the conductive substrate corresponding to volume adjustment key 202 needs to be assembled into the volume adjustment key mounting slot. Specifically, each of the power switch key mounting slot and the volume adjustment key mounting slot can be provided with mounting holes 220, and the conductive substrates described above can be assembled into the corresponding mounting holes 220.

[0079] In the prior art, the conductive base is primarily assembled into the mounting hole 220 of the electronic device 200 by manual labor. For example, an operator grasps the conductive base with tweezers or a suction pen and then assembles it into the mounting hole 220. However, due to the small size of the conductive base, manual labor is inefficient and difficult to assemble. It requires a high level of manual proficiency, and there is a risk of missing or improper assembly. This manual labor is highly dependent on manpower, and production capacity cannot be guaranteed.

[0080] In order to solve the above problems, an embodiment of the present application provides an assembly equipment that can realize the automated assembly of parts to be assembled, effectively solve the dependence of assembly work on manpower, and improve assembly efficiency, assembly consistency and assembly reliability, thereby helping to increase production capacity.

[0081] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 2 This is one of the structural schematic diagrams of an assembly device provided in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 3 This is the second structural diagram of an assembly device provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The difference lies in the different perspectives. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the assembly apparatus 100 includes a base 110, a fixing mechanism 150, a loading mechanism 160, a charging mechanism 120, and a calibration mechanism 130. The base 110 is one of the supporting bodies of the assembly apparatus 100, and part or all of the structures of the assembly apparatus 100 can be disposed on the base 110. In the embodiment of the present application, a support platform is also provided. The support platform is the supporting body structure of the entire assembly apparatus 100, and all parts of the assembly apparatus 100 can be disposed on the support platform.

[0082] Specifically, the base 110 is connected to the support platform. The base 110 can be fixedly connected to the support platform or slidably connected to the support platform. The fixing mechanism 150, the loading mechanism 120, and the calibration mechanism 130 are connected to the base 110. The loading mechanism 160 is connected to the base 110 or to the support platform. In the embodiment of the present application, the loading mechanism 160 is fixedly connected to the support platform.

[0083] Among them, the fixing mechanism 150 is mainly used to clamp the electronic device 200 so that the electronic device 200 can be fixed in a certain assembly position so that other mechanisms can assemble the parts to be assembled into the electronic device 200. The loading mechanism 160 stores a plurality of parts to be assembled, which is mainly used to store the parts to be assembled and transport these parts to be assembled to the loading mechanism 160 for assembly. After the loading mechanism 120 receives the parts to be assembled transmitted from the loading mechanism 160, it transports the parts to be assembled to a predetermined assembly position and assembles them into the electronic device 200 clamped by the clamping device. The predetermined assembly position refers to the position where the loading mechanism 120 is located and the position where the electronic device 200 is located can form an assembly fit, so that the parts to be assembled in the loading mechanism 120 can be assembled into the assembly space 210 of the electronic device 200.

[0084] To achieve assembly between the loading mechanism 120 and the electronic device 200, the assembly device 100 is further provided with a calibration mechanism 130, which is connected to the base 110 and has a loading structure mounted thereon. When parts need to be assembled with the electronic device 200, the loading mechanism 120 moves to a predetermined assembly position, and the calibration mechanism 130 and the electronic device 200 are aligned so that the loading mechanism 120, in the predetermined assembly position, can be assembled with the electronic device 200, allowing the loading mechanism 120 to assemble the parts to be assembled into the assembly space 210 of the electronic device 200.

[0085] In the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device 200 to be assembled is fixed by the fixing mechanism 150, and then the loading mechanism 160 transports the parts to be assembled to the loading mechanism 120. After the loading mechanism 120 obtains the parts to be assembled from the loading mechanism 160 and reaches the predetermined assembly position, the calibration mechanism 130 performs position calibration with the electronic device 200 located on the fixing mechanism 150, so that the loading mechanism 120 in the predetermined assembly position and the electronic device 200 after position calibration can form an assembly fit, so that the loading mechanism 120 assembles the parts to be assembled into the assembly space 210 of the electronic device 200. The entire process can be automated and mechanized, and after the calibration mechanism 130 is set to perform position calibration, the assembly success rate and assembly efficiency of the parts to be assembled and the electronic device 200 can be greatly improved.

[0086] In one embodiment of the present application, the loading mechanism 160 includes a support frame 161 and a vibration disk 162, wherein the vibration disk 162 is fixedly connected to the base 110 through the support frame 161, and the parts to be assembled are located in the vibration disk 162. The support frame 161 mainly plays a supporting role in order to fix the vibration disk 162. In addition, by arranging the support frame 161 on the base 110, it is helpful to increase the height of the vibration disk 162, so that the position of the vibration disk 162 can be higher than the storage mechanism 121 in the loading mechanism 120, so that the parts to be assembled in the vibration disk 162 can be smoothly transferred to the storage mechanism 121 of the loading mechanism 120. The vibration disk 162 in the embodiment of the present application can adopt the relevant devices in the prior art. The vibration disk 162 is mainly used for loading and automatically delivering the material to the loading mechanism 120, and generally includes devices such as a motor, a frequency converter and a hopper.

[0087] In one embodiment of the present application, the calibration mechanism 130 includes a second driving member 131 and a support member 132, wherein the first reciprocating motion is fixedly connected to the base 110, and the support member 132 is fixedly connected to the second driving member 131, and the second driving member 131 can drive the support member 132 to reciprocate. The support member 132 can provide support for other mechanisms, and the support member 132 can be used to calibrate the position of the electronic device 200. Specifically, a guide block 1322 is provided on the support member 132, and the guide block 1322 is provided on a side of the support member 132 close to the electronic device 200. The guide block 1322 is used to cooperate with the assembly space 210 in the electronic device 200, that is, the guide block 1322 is in the assembly space 210 in the electronic device 200, so as to calibrate the position of the electronic device 200, thereby facilitating the loading mechanism 120 to assemble the parts to be assembled into the assembly space 210 of the electronic device 200.

[0088] refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the calibration mechanism 130 and the loading mechanism 120 in an assembly device provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 As shown, the second driving member 131 is a cylinder. To distinguish it from the cylinders mentioned later, the cylinder serving as the second driving member 131 is referred to as the second cylinder. The cylinder body of the second cylinder is fixedly connected to the base 110, and the support member 132 is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the second cylinder.

[0089] For the convenience of the following description, an xyz coordinate system is established, wherein the movement direction of the calibration mechanism 130 is defined as the z-axis direction, the movement direction of the material picking mechanism 122 is defined as the x-axis direction, and the y-axis direction is perpendicular to both the x-axis direction and the z-axis direction. Figure 4 It is understood that the xyz coordinate system can be flexibly set according to actual needs.

[0090] The piston rod of the second air cylinder reciprocates along the z-axis, driving the support member 132 to reciprocate along the z-axis. During this reciprocating motion along the z-axis, the support member 132 drives the guide block 1322 to engage with the electronic device 200, thereby calibrating the position of the electronic device 200. After engaging with the electronic device 200, the guide block 1322 is then separated from the electronic device 200, allowing the assembled electronic device 200 to be removed.

[0091] In one embodiment of the present application, the loading mechanism 120 includes a storage mechanism 121 and a fetching mechanism 122. Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the storage mechanism 121 is fixedly connected to the calibration mechanism 130. The storage mechanism 121 is connected to the loading mechanism 160 via a conveyor 170. The loading mechanism 160 transports the parts to be assembled into the storage mechanism 121 via the conveyor 170. The picking mechanism 122 is slidably connected to the calibration mechanism 130. The picking mechanism 122 is located between the calibration mechanism 130 and the storage mechanism 121, and the two sides of the picking mechanism 122 are in contact with the calibration mechanism 130 and the storage mechanism 121 respectively. Since the storage mechanism 121 is fixedly connected to the calibration mechanism 130, the picking mechanism 122 is slidably connected between the calibration mechanism 130 and the storage mechanism 121.

[0092] Specifically, the storage mechanism 121 includes a storage member 1211, which is fixedly connected to the support member 132 of the calibration mechanism 130. The storage member 1211 is provided with one or more storage holes 1212, which are used to store the parts to be assembled delivered from the loading mechanism 160. The storage holes 1212 are through holes. Because the storage mechanism 121 is in contact with the retrieving mechanism 122, the retrieving mechanism 122 can provide support for the parts to be assembled when they are delivered from the loading mechanism 160 to the storage holes 1212, preventing the parts from falling out of the storage holes 1212.

[0093] In the embodiment of the present application, the loading mechanism 160 stores a plurality of parts to be assembled, which can meet the material requirements of multiple electronic devices 200. The storage mechanism 121 is used to store the parts to be assembled required by one electronic device 200. When the parts to be assembled stored in the storage mechanism 121 are removed by the material removal mechanism 122, the loading mechanism 160 will replenish the parts to be assembled in the storage mechanism 121, so that the storage mechanism 121 stores the parts to be assembled required by one electronic device 200.

[0094] Since the storage mechanism 121 is used to store the parts to be assembled required for an electronic device 200, and it mainly relies on the storage holes 1212 in the storage member 1211 for storage. Therefore, the number of storage holes 1212 on the storage member 1211 can be set according to the number of parts to be assembled required by the electronic device 200. For example, if each electronic device 200 requires one part to be assembled each time it is assembled, then one storage hole 1212 can be set on the storage member 1211. If each electronic device 200 requires k (k>1, and is an integer) parts to be assembled each time it is assembled, then k storage holes 1212 can be set on the storage member 1211. In the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device 200 is a mobile phone as an example. Each mobile phone needs to assemble three conductive bases each time it is assembled, so three storage holes 1212 are set on the storage member 1211.

[0095] When setting up the material storage holes 1212, the positions of the material storage holes 1212 can be designed based on the installation positions of the parts (three conductive bases) to be assembled in each electronic device 200. Each material storage hole 1212 stores one part to be assembled (one conductive base). The size of the material storage hole 1212 matches the size of the part to be assembled, and the depth of the material storage hole 1212 is the same as the length of the part to be assembled. The spacing between two adjacent material storage holes 1212 is the same as the spacing between the parts to be assembled stored in the two material storage holes 1212 when they are assembled in the electronic device 200.

[0096] It should be noted that the spacing between two adjacent storage holes 1212 refers to the distance between the axes / centerlines of the two storage holes 1212. The spacing between two parts to be assembled in the electronic device 200 refers to the distance between the axes / centerlines of the two parts to be assembled. The term "identical" in the embodiments of this application does not strictly mean 100% identical, but rather allows for a certain range of error. For example, the size of the storage hole 1212 can be slightly larger than the size of the assembled part, and the depth of the storage hole 1212 can be slightly larger than the length of the part to be assembled, with an error range of 10%-30%. However, the size of the storage hole 1212 cannot be smaller than the size of the part to be assembled, otherwise the part to be assembled will not be able to be stored in the storage hole 1212. In order to facilitate the parts to be assembled to fall from the storage hole 1212, the size of the storage hole 1212 is generally set to be larger than the size of the parts to be assembled. Even if the size of the storage hole 1212 is set to be equal to the size of the parts to be assembled, the fit between the parts to be assembled and the storage hole 1212 is also set to a clearance fit, otherwise it may affect the transfer of the parts to be assembled from the storage mechanism 121 to the material picking mechanism 122.

[0097] For example, if the part to be assembled is a conductive base, and the conductive base is cylindrical, the reservoir hole 1212 can be set as a circular hole, with a diameter greater than or equal to the diameter of the conductive base, and a depth greater than or equal to the length (height) of the conductive base. Generally, the diameter of the reservoir hole 1212 is set to be 10% larger than the diameter of the conductive base, and the depth of the reservoir hole 1212 is equal to the length of the conductive base.

[0098] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 、 Figure 3As shown, the conveying device 170 is a conduit 171, one end of which is connected to the outlet of the feeding mechanism 160, and the other end is connected to the storage hole 1212 on the storage member 1211, so that the parts to be assembled (conductive base) in the feeding mechanism 160 can be conveyed to the storage hole 1212 of the storage member 1211 through the conduit 171. Since the storage member 1211 is provided with three storage holes 1212, the conveying device 170 may include three conduits 171, each conduit 171 is connected to one storage hole 1212, and the three conduits 171 are all connected to the outlet of the feeding mechanism 160, so that the feeding mechanism 160 can load the three storage holes 1212 on the storage member 1211 through the three conduits 171.

[0099] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 4 Shown, material picking mechanism 122 comprises first driving member 1221 and material picking member 1222, wherein, material picking member 1222 is connected on support member 132 by first driving member 1221, and first driving member 1221 drives material picking member 1222 to move back and forth between second preset position and described first preset position.Specifically, material picking member 1222 is slidably connected on support member 132, and is also slidably connected between material picking member 1222 and material storage member 1211, and keeps contact.When the shape of material storage member 1211 is set, material storage member 1211 can be a cuboid (or class cuboid), the two ends of material storage member 1211 are fixedly connected with support member 132, then a through groove is offered on a side near support member 132 of material storage member 1211, the shape of this through groove matches the shape of material picking member 1222, so that material picking member 1222 can slide in this through groove.

[0100] like Figure 4 As shown, the first driving member 1221 is a cylinder. To distinguish it from the cylinder mentioned above, the cylinder serving as the first driving member 1221 is referred to herein as the first cylinder. The second cylinder and the first cylinder can be of the same model or different models. The cylinder body of the first cylinder is fixedly connected to the support member 132, and the material removal member 1222 is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the first cylinder.

[0101] The piston rod of the first cylinder reciprocates along the x-axis, driving the picker 1222 to reciprocate along the x-axis. During the reciprocating motion along the x-axis, the picker 1222 in the picker mechanism 122 can remove the parts to be assembled from the storage 1211, transport them to a predetermined assembly location, and assemble them into the assembly space 210 of the electronic device 200.

[0102] Specifically, the two extreme positions of movement of the picking member 1222 in the picking mechanism 122 can be a second preset position and a first preset position. When the picking member 1222 moves from the second preset position to the first preset position, the picking member 1222 cooperates with the material storage member 1211 to obtain the parts to be assembled in the material storage member 1211. When the picking member 1222 moves from the first preset position to the second preset position, the picking member 1222 cooperates (aligns) with the assembly space 210 of the electronic device 200 to assemble the parts to be assembled into the assembly space 210. The above-mentioned second preset position and the aforementioned predetermined assembly position can be the same position.

[0103] In one embodiment of the present application, one or more feeding holes 1223 are provided on the feeding member 1222. The feeding holes 1223 are used to take out the parts to be assembled stored in the storage hole 1212 and can transport the parts to be assembled to a predetermined assembly position. Among them, the storage hole 1212 is a through hole. Since the feeding member 1222 is slidably connected to the support member 132 and contacts the support member 132, when the parts to be assembled are transferred from the storage hole 1212 of the storage member 1211 to the feeding hole 1223 of the feeding member 1222, the support member 132 can block the bottom end of the feeding hole 1223, provide support for the parts to be assembled, and prevent the parts to be assembled from falling from the feeding hole 1223.

[0104] Among them, each time the material is taken out by the material picking piece 1222, the parts to be assembled required for assembling one electronic device 200 can be taken out. Therefore, the number of material picking holes 1223 on the material picking piece 1222 can be set according to the number of parts to be assembled required by the electronic device 200. For example, if each electronic device 200 requires one part to be assembled each time it is assembled, one material picking hole 1223 can be set on the material picking piece 1222. If each electronic device 200 requires k (k>1, and is an integer) parts to be assembled each time it is assembled, k material picking holes 1223 can be set on the material picking piece 1222. In the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device 200 is a mobile phone as an example. Each mobile phone needs to assemble three conductive bases each time it is assembled, so three material picking holes 1223 are set on the material picking piece 1222.

[0105] When setting up the access holes 1223, the positions of the access holes 1223 can be designed based on the installation positions of the parts (three conductive bases) to be assembled in each electronic device 200. Each access hole 1223 stores and retrieves one part to be assembled (one conductive base). The size of the access hole 1223 is the same as the size of the part to be assembled, and the depth of the access hole 1223 is the same as the length of the part to be assembled, or the depth of the access hole 1223 is greater than the length of the part to be assembled. The spacing between two adjacent access holes 1223 is the same as the spacing between the parts to be assembled when they are stored and retrieved in the two access holes 1223 and assembled in the electronic device 200.

[0106] It should be noted that the spacing between two adjacent feed holes 1223 refers to the distance between the axes / centerlines of the two feed holes 1223. The spacing between two parts to be assembled in the electronic device 200 refers to the description in the aforementioned embodiments. The terms "identical" in the embodiments of this application do not strictly mean 100% identical, but rather allow for a certain margin of error. For example, the size of the feed hole 1223 can be slightly larger than the size of the assembled part, and the depth of the feed hole 1223 can be slightly larger than the length of the part to be assembled, for example, within a range of 10%-30%. However, the size of the feed hole 1223 cannot be smaller than the size of the part to be assembled, otherwise the part to be assembled will not be able to be loaded into the feed hole 1223. In order to facilitate the parts to be assembled to fall from the material collection hole 1223, the size of the material collection hole 1223 is generally set to be larger than the size of the parts to be assembled. Even if the size of the material collection hole 1223 is set to be equal to the size of the parts to be assembled, the fit between the parts to be assembled and the material collection hole 1223 is also set to a clearance fit, otherwise it may affect the assembly of the parts to be assembled from the material collection mechanism 122 into the electronic device 200.

[0107] For example, if the part to be assembled is a conductive base, which is cylindrical, then the extraction hole 1223 can be set as a circular hole, with a diameter greater than or equal to the diameter of the conductive base, and a depth greater than or equal to the length (height) of the conductive base. Generally, the diameter of the extraction hole 1223 is set to be 10% greater than the diameter of the conductive base, and the depth of the extraction hole 1223 is equal to the length of the conductive base.

[0108] refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , Figure 5 This is one of the partial cross-sectional views of an assembly device provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 6 This is a second partial cross-sectional view of an assembly device provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 5 for Figure 4 The cross-sectional view in the AA direction, Figure 6 for Figure 4 Cross-sectional view in the BB direction, Figure 5 and Figure 6 The storage member 1211 is shown in the first preset position. Figure 5 、 Figure 6 As shown, at this time, the material picking member 1222 in the material picking mechanism 122 moves to the first preset position, and the material picking member 1222 in the material picking mechanism 122 cooperates with the material storage member 1211 in the material storage mechanism 121.

[0109] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, the coordination between the retrieving mechanism 122 and the storage mechanism 121 means that when the retrieving mechanism 122 moves to the first preset position, the retrieving mechanism 122 can retrieve the parts to be assembled stored in the storage mechanism 121. The parts to be assembled retrieved by the retrieving mechanism 122 can be the parts to be assembled required by an electronic device 200. Specifically, in this embodiment, the coordination between the retrieving mechanism 122 and the storage mechanism 121 means that the retrieving hole 1223 on the retrieving member 1222 is aligned with the storage hole 1212 on the storage member 1211. This allows the parts to be assembled in the storage hole 1212 to fall into the retrieving hole 1223 due to their own gravity.

[0110] The size of the material extraction holes 1223 can be set to be the same as the size of the material storage holes 1212. In addition, the number of the material extraction holes 1223 can be set to be the same as the number of the material storage holes 1212. Each material extraction hole 1223 and the material storage hole 1212 also correspond in position and correspond to the position of the parts to be assembled in the electronic device 200.

[0111] When the picking member 1222 moves to a position where it matches the material storage member 1211, that is, when the picking member 1222 moves to the first preset position, each picking hole 1223 on the picking member 1222 corresponds to the material storage hole 1212 on the material storage member 1211, so that the parts to be assembled in each material storage hole 1212 can be transferred to a corresponding picking hole 1223. Then, by moving the picking member 1222, the parts to be assembled in the picking holes 1223 are transported to the predetermined assembly positions, and then the parts to be assembled in the picking holes 1223 are assembled to the corresponding positions in the electronic device 200.

[0112] The number and positions of the material storage holes 1212 and material extraction holes 1223 are generally determined based on the number and positions of the components to be assembled in the electronic device 200. For example, the electronic device 200 is a mobile phone, and the components to be assembled are conductive substrates. Three conductive substrates need to be installed on the side of the mobile phone. The three conductive substrates are located in a straight line, with the distance between the middle conductive substrate and the conductive substrate on the left being L1, and the distance between the middle conductive substrate and the conductive substrate on the right being L2.

[0113] Accordingly, three storage holes 1212 can be provided on the storage member 1211. The size and depth of the storage holes 1212 are as described in the previous embodiment. The three storage holes 1212 are located in a straight line, and the distance between the middle storage hole 1212 and the storage hole 1212 on the left is set to L1, and the distance between the middle storage hole 1212 and the storage hole 1212 on the right is set to L2.

[0114] Accordingly, three feeding holes 1223 can be provided on the feeding member 1222. The size and depth of the feeding holes 1223 are as described in the previous embodiment. The three feeding holes 1223 are located in a straight line, and the distance between the middle feeding hole 1223 and the feeding hole 1223 on the left is L1, and the distance between the middle feeding hole 1223 and the feeding hole 1223 on the right is L2.

[0115] It should be noted that the distance between the two conductive bases refers to: the distance between the center lines of the two conductive bases, the distance between the two storage holes 1212 refers to: the distance between the center lines of the two storage holes 1212, and the distance between the two material extraction holes 1223 refers to: the distance between the center lines of the two material extraction holes 1223.

[0116] Through the above arrangement, the position of the material extraction hole 1223 on the material extraction member 1222 can correspond to the assembly position of the parts to be assembled in the electronic device 200. When the material extraction member 1222 moves to the predetermined assembly position, the parts to be assembled in the material extraction hole 1223 can be directly assembled into the electronic device 200. In addition, the position of the material extraction hole 1223 in the material extraction member 1222 can correspond to the position of the material storage hole 1212 in the material storage member 1211. When the material extraction member 1222 moves to a position that matches the material storage member 1211, it can directly remove the parts to be assembled stored in the material storage member 1211. This helps to improve the assembly efficiency of the entire assembly device 100.

[0117] refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 , Figure 7 This is a third partial cross-sectional view of an assembly device provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 8 This is a fourth partial cross-sectional view of an assembly device provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 7 for Figure 4 Cross-sectional view in CC direction;

[0118] Figure 8 for Figure 4 Cross-sectional view in the BB direction. Figure 8 and Figure 6 The difference is: Figure 8 The storage member 1211 is shown in the second preset position. Figure 6 The material storage member 1211 is shown to be in a first preset position.

[0119] When the picking member 1222 in the picking mechanism 122 is in the second preset position, that is, the picking member 1222 is in the predetermined assembly position, since the picking member 1222 is arranged on the support member 132, that is, the picking member 1222 is located on one side of the support member 132. Generally, the electronic device 200 is arranged on the other side of the support member 132, that is, the picking member 1222 needs to pass through the support member 132 during the assembly process of the electronic device 200. Figure 7 、 Figure 8 As shown, correspondingly, a loading hole 1321 is provided on the support member 132 , and the loading hole 1321 is a through hole. The size of the loading hole 1321 can be the same as the size of the material removal hole 1223 , or can be set to be larger than the size of the material removal hole 1223 .

[0120] refer to Figure 6 Since the parts to be assembled in the feeding hole 1223 are supported by the support member 132 after entering the feeding hole 1223 from the storage hole 1212 and before being assembled into the electronic device 200, the feeding hole 1321 is provided to facilitate the parts to be assembled in the feeding hole 1223 to pass through the support member 132 after reaching the predetermined assembly position and to be assembled into the electronic device 200.

[0121] Accordingly, the position of the loading hole 1321 on the support member 132 needs to correspond to the position of the extraction hole 1223, so that the parts to be assembled in each extraction hole 1223 can reach the assembly position of the electronic device 200 through a loading hole 1321. Figure 7 As shown, when the material taking member 1222 is provided with three material taking holes 1223, the support member 132 is also provided with three material loading holes 1321. Among them, the distance between the middle material loading hole 1321 and the left material loading hole 1321 is L1, and the distance between the middle material loading hole 1321 and the right material loading hole 1321 is L2.

[0122] It should be noted that the left side mentioned in the embodiments of the present application refers to the same direction, and the right side mentioned refers to the direction opposite to the direction indicated by the left side. This allows the loading hole 1321 on the support member 132 to correspond to the assembly position of the parts to be assembled in the electronic device 200, the loading hole 1321 on the support member 132 to correspond to the material extraction hole 1223 on the material extraction member 1222, and the material extraction hole 1223 on the material extraction member 1222 to correspond to the material storage hole 1212 in the material storage member 1211.

[0123] When the material taking member 1222 moves to the second preset position, the material storage hole 1212 in the material storage member 1211 and the material loading hole 1321 on the support member 132 are aligned and matched with the assembly space 210 in the electronic device 200. Specifically, the material storage hole 1212 in the material storage member 1211 and the material loading hole 1321 on the support member 132 are aligned with the mounting hole 220 in the electronic device 200, so that the parts to be assembled in the material storage member 1211 can be assembled into the mounting hole 220 of the electronic device 200 through the material loading hole 1321.

[0124] In the embodiment of the present application, before the feed hole 1223 and the charging hole 1321 are aligned, the support member 132 can provide support for the parts to be assembled in the feed hole 1223, so that the parts to be assembled can be located within the feed hole 1223. When the feed hole 1223 and the charging hole 1321 are aligned, since the parts to be assembled have their own gravity and both the feed hole 1223 and the charging hole 1321 are through holes, the parts to be assembled can pass through the feed hole 1223 and the charging hole 1321 under the action of their own gravity and fall into the mounting hole 220 of the electronic device 200, thereby completing the assembly.

[0125] When the assembly device 100 assembles the parts to be assembled into the electronic device 200, when the material picking mechanism 122 reaches the second preset position (predetermined assembly position), the electronic device 200 must also be in the preset assembly position to accurately assemble the parts to be assembled into the mounting holes 220 of the electronic device 200. Since the electronic device 200 is fixed to the fixing mechanism 150, certain deviations may occur during the actual assembly process. Therefore, the position of the electronic device 200 needs to be adjusted by the calibration mechanism 130 so that both the electronic device 200 and the material picking mechanism 122 are in the predetermined assembly position to complete the assembly.

[0126] In one embodiment of the present application, reference Figure 9 and Figure 10 , Figure 9 This is a fifth partial cross-sectional view of an assembly device provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 10 This is a partial cross-sectional view of a sixth embodiment of an assembly device provided in the present application. Figure 9 and Figure 10 for Figure 2 Partial cross-sectional view in DD direction, Figure 9 and Figure 10 The difference is: Figure 9 In the embodiment, the second driving member 131 is in the third preset position, and at this time there is a certain deviation in the cooperation between the electronic device 200 and the picking mechanism 122, resulting in the parts to be assembled in the picking mechanism 122 being unable to be accurately aligned with the mounting hole 220 of the electronic device 200. Figure 10In the embodiment, the second driving member 131 is in the fourth preset position. At this time, the electronic device 200 is calibrated by the calibration mechanism 130, and both the electronic device 200 and the material picking mechanism 122 are in the preset assembly position. The parts to be assembled in the material picking mechanism 122 can be assembled into the electronic device.

[0127] Specifically, since the material picking mechanism 122 and the material storage mechanism 121 are both installed on the calibration mechanism 130, during the entire assembly process, when the calibration mechanism 130 adjusts the position of the electronic device 200 to the preset assembly position, the material picking mechanism 122 moves to the second preset position (predetermined assembly position) to realize the assembly of the electronic device 200.

[0128] The following mainly introduces the calibration of the electronic device 200 by the calibration mechanism 130. Figure 9 、 Figure 10 As shown, in the embodiment of the present application, the position of the electronic device 200 is calibrated primarily by means of a guide block 1322 provided on the support member 132. Taking the electronic device 200 as a mobile phone as an example, the side of the mobile phone is provided with a power switch key mounting slot and a volume adjustment key mounting slot. The power switch key mounting slot is provided with one mounting hole 220, and the volume adjustment key mounting slot is provided with two mounting holes 220. A conductive base is required to be assembled in each mounting hole 220. Accordingly, three loading holes 1321 are provided on the support member 132, each of which corresponds to a mounting hole 220 in the electronic device 200.

[0129] In addition, a guide block 1322 is provided on one or both sides of each loading hole 1321. The guide block 1322 is used to correspond to the power switch key mounting slot or the volume adjustment key mounting slot in the electronic device 200, and the loading hole 1321 corresponds to the mounting hole 220 in the electronic device 200. Therefore, the positional relationship between the guide block 1322 and the loading hole 1321 is affected by the positional relationship between the power switch key mounting slot / volume adjustment key mounting slot and the mounting hole 220. However, one point needs to be satisfied, that is, when the guide block 1322 is matched with the power switch key mounting slot / volume adjustment key mounting slot in the electronic device 200, the loading hole 1321 corresponding to the guide block 1322 is aligned with the mounting hole 220 in the power switch key mounting slot / volume adjustment key mounting slot, so as to achieve the purpose of adjusting the electronic device 200 through the calibration mechanism 130. For example, in the electronic device 200, the center lines of the power switch key mounting slot, the volume adjustment key mounting slot and all the mounting holes 220 are on the same plane, so the center lines of all the wire blocks and all the loading holes 1321 can be set on the same plane.

[0130] like Figure 9As shown, in this embodiment of the present application, the position of the guide block 1322 on the support member 132 of the calibration mechanism 130 is the preset assembly position. The electronic device 200 is fixed to the fixing mechanism 150, and there is a certain deviation between the electronic device 200 and the preset assembly position. The position of the electronic device 200 can be adjusted using the calibration mechanism 130.

[0131] Specifically, take the cooperation between the power switch key installation slot and the guide block 1322 in the electronic device 200 as an example. Figure 9 As shown, beveled edges 13221 are provided on both sides of the guide block 1322. The beveled edges 13221 have a certain inclination, so that the end of the guide block 1322 away from the support member 132 is smaller than the end of the guide block 1322 closer to the support member 132. The beveled edges 13221 are used to guide the guide block 1322 to mate with the power switch mounting slot to adjust the position of the electronic device 200. Figure 9 In the embodiment, support member 132 is in the third preset position, and guide block 1322 on support member 132 has not yet contacted the power switch key mounting slot in electronic device 200. To adjust the position of electronic device 200 to the preset assembly position, second drive member 131 in calibration mechanism 130 can be controlled to drive support member 132 from the third preset position to the fourth preset position, that is, to drive support member 132 along the negative z-axis. At this time, guide block 1322 on support member 132 gradually moves toward the power switch key mounting slot in electronic device 200.

[0132] When the guide block 1322 moves toward the power switch key installation slot, the bevel 13221 on the guide block 1322 first contacts the side of the power switch key installation slot. Since the second driving member 131 drives the support member 132 to move in a fixed direction, the guide block 1322 also moves in a fixed direction. The guide block 1322 first contacts the power switch key installation slot through the bevel 13221. Due to the inclination of the bevel 13221, the guide block 1322 will drive the electronic device 200 to move along the bevel 13221 of the wire block. Figure 9 For example, the electronic device 200 will gradually move towards Figure 9 Move in the left direction.

[0133] like Figure 10As shown, as guide block 1322 continuously moves downward, the power switch key mounting slot of electronic device 200 continuously moves along the beveled edge 13221 of guide block 1322. After the power switch key mounting slot in electronic device 200 has completed its movement along the beveled edge 13221 of guide block 1322, the power switch key mounting slot and guide block 1322 are fully mated. At this point, guide block 1322 is mated with the power switch key mounting slot of electronic device 200, and the loading hole 1321 on support member 132 is aligned with the mounting hole 220 in the power switch key mounting slot. Electronic device 200 is in a preset assembly position. Under the influence of its own gravity, the parts to be assembled in the feeding hole 1223 can sequentially pass through the feeding hole 1223 and the feeding hole 1321 and fall into the mounting hole 220 in the power switch key mounting slot. This completes the assembly of the parts to be assembled into electronic device 200.

[0134] It should be noted that the present embodiment uses the assembly of a conductive base in a power switch mounting slot as an example. The assembly device 100 described in the present embodiment also employs the same principles and methods when assembling a conductive base in a volume adjustment key mounting slot. Specifically, the guide block 1322 extends into the volume adjustment key mounting slot to calibrate the position of the electronic device 200, and then the part to be assembled is assembled into the corresponding mounting hole 220. Furthermore, this method can also be applied to assembling other similar parts in the electronic device 200, and will not be further described here.

[0135] The assembly device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application can utilize the gravity of the parts to be assembled to assemble them into the electronic device 200. However, when utilizing its gravity for assembly, since the parts to be assembled are small and their gravity is also small, there may be a problem that the parts to be assembled cannot be completely assembled into place when assembled into the electronic device 200. Therefore, in order to avoid this situation, the assembly device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application also includes a pushing mechanism 140, wherein the pushing mechanism 140 is connected to the base 110, and the pushing device is used to push the parts to be assembled into the assembly space 210 of the electronic device 200. Specifically, when the electronic device 200 is a mobile phone in the embodiment of the present application, the pushing mechanism 140 is used to push the conductive base into the mounting hole 220 of the mobile phone.

[0136] The pushing mechanism 140 is connected to the base 110, wherein the pushing mechanism 140 can be directly connected to the base 110 or indirectly connected to the base 110 through other mechanisms. In the embodiment of the present application, the pushing mechanism 140 is fixedly connected to the fixing mechanism 150, and the fixing mechanism 150 can be fixedly connected to the base 110.

[0137] refer to Figure 11 , Figure 11This is a structural diagram of a fixing mechanism 150 in an assembly device provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 11 As shown, the fixing mechanism 150 includes a support base 151, which is fixedly connected to the base 110. A suction surface 1511 is provided on one side of the support base 151. The electronic device 200 is attached to the suction surface 1511 to fix the electronic device 200. Specifically, one or more suction cups 152 can be provided on the suction surface 1511, and the electronic device 200 is adsorbed on the suction surface 1511 of the support base 151 via the suction cups 152.

[0138] In the embodiment of this application, Figure 4 As shown, the pushing mechanism 140 includes a third driving member 141 and a pushing member 142. The pushing member 142 is connected to the support seat 151 of the fixing mechanism 150 through the third driving member 141. The third driving member 141 can drive the pushing member 142 to reciprocate, so that the pushing member 142 reciprocates between the fifth preset position and the sixth preset position.

[0139] The third driving member 141 can be a cylinder. In order to distinguish it from the cylinder mentioned above, the cylinder serving as the third driving member 141 will be referred to as the third cylinder. The cylinder body of the third cylinder is fixedly connected to the support seat 151, and the piston rod of the third cylinder is fixedly connected to the pusher 142 to drive the pusher 142 to move. The piston rod of the third cylinder can reciprocate along the direction of the z-axis. When the third cylinder drives the pusher 142 to move from the fifth preset position to the sixth preset position, the pusher 142 moves along the negative direction of the z-axis. At this time, the pusher 142 pushes the parts to be assembled into the electronic device 200. When the third cylinder drives the pusher 142 to move from the sixth preset position to the fifth preset position, the pusher 142 moves along the positive direction of the z-axis. At this time, the pusher 142 is away from the electronic device 200.

[0140] To better push the parts to be assembled into the electronic device 200, a push rod 1421 is further provided on the pusher 142. The push rod 1421 is used to push the parts to be assembled from the feed hole 1223 into the mounting hole 220 of the electronic device 200. Therefore, when providing the push rod 1421, the size of the push rod 1421 can be set to be smaller than or equal to the size of the feed hole 1223. For example, the diameter of the push rod 1421 can be set to be equal to the diameter of the feed hole 1223. When the push rod 1421 extends into the feed hole 1223, the fit between the push rod 1421 and the feed hole 1223 is a clearance fit. In actual application, in order to facilitate the push rod 1421 to smoothly extend into the material extraction hole 1223, the diameter of the push rod 1421 is generally set to be smaller than the diameter of the material extraction hole 1223. For example, the diameter of the push rod 1421 is 10%-20% smaller than the diameter of the material extraction hole 1223.

[0141] In addition, since multiple parts to be assembled are required each time the electronic device 200 is assembled, multiple push rods 1421 can be provided on the pusher 142. The number of push rods 1421 can be consistent with the number of parts to be assembled on the electronic device 200, and the number of push rods 1421 on the pusher 142 can be consistent with the number of feeding holes 1223 on the feeding member 1222. The position setting of the push rods 1421 on the pusher 142 can refer to the position setting between the feeding holes 1223, so that each push rod 1421 can extend into a feeding hole 1223 and push the parts to be assembled in the feeding hole 1223 into the electronic device 200. In this way, during assembly, the pusher 142 can push the parts to be assembled into the electronic device 200 at one time.

[0142] For example, when assembling conductive substrates in a mobile phone, three conductive substrates need to be assembled at a time. Therefore, three extraction holes 1223 can be provided on the material extraction member 1222, and three pusher rods 1421 can be provided on the material pushing member 142. The material extraction member 1222 can transport three conductive substrates at a time. When the material extraction member 1222 reaches the predetermined assembly position, the pusher rods 1421 provided on the material pushing member 142 allow the pusher 142 to push the three conductive substrates into the electronic device 200 at once.

[0143] When the three conductive substrates are aligned after being installed in the mobile phone, the three extraction holes 1223 in the extraction member 1222 can also be aligned. Simultaneously, the three pusher rods 1421 on the pusher member 142 can also be positioned on the same line. Furthermore, the positional relationship between the pusher rods 1421 and the positional relationship between the extraction holes 1223 correspond to the positional relationship of the conductive substrates after installation in the mobile phone. This allows the assembly device 100 to accurately assemble the conductive substrates into the assembly holes of the mobile phone.

[0144] The following is a brief introduction to the assembly process of the assembly equipment 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application.

[0145] refer to Figure 12 , Figure 12 A schematic diagram of the workflow of an assembly device provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown as follows: Figure 12 As shown, a specific workflow of the assembly equipment is:

[0146] Load the vibration tray 162, that is, put the parts to be assembled into the vibration tray 162. Then the vibration tray 162 can transport the parts to be assembled into the storage part 1211, and then the electronic device 200 can be fixed on the fixing mechanism so that the electronic device 200 is in a preset assembly position.

[0147] The support member 132 moves to the fourth preset position to calibrate the position of the electronic device 200. The material picking member 1222 moves to the second preset position to transport the parts to be assembled to the preset assembly position. The pushing member 142 moves to the sixth preset position to push the parts to be assembled into the electronic device 200 so that the parts to be assembled are assembled in place. The pushing member 142 moves to the fifth preset position and leaves the assembly space 210 of the electronic device 200 after pushing is completed. The material picking member 1222 moves to the first preset position to pick up materials for the next assembly. The support member 132 moves to the third preset position to separate the guide block from the assembly space 210 of the electronic device 200 to avoid affecting the transportation of the electronic device 200. After the assembly is completed, the electronic device 200 can be removed, and then the above process is repeated to assemble the next electronic device 200.

[0148] refer to Figures 5 to 10 ,like Figure 5 、 Figure 6 As shown, when the picking member 1222 in the picking mechanism 122 moves to the first preset position, the picking mechanism 122 is now mated with the accumulator 121. That is, the picking hole 1223 on the picking member 1222 is aligned with the accumulator hole 1212 on the accumulator 1211. At this point, the parts to be assembled stored in the accumulator hole 1212 are transferred to the picking hole 1223, and the loading mechanism 160 replenishes the parts to be assembled to the accumulator hole 1212 of the accumulator 1211 via the guide tube 171. After the picking member 1222 obtains the parts to be assembled, the first driving member 1221 drives the picking member 1222 to move from the first preset position to the second preset position. Since the material picking member 1222 is in contact with the material storage member 1211, the material picking member 1222 can provide support for the parts to be assembled in the material storage hole 1212, so that the parts to be assembled can be stored in the material storage hole 1212 so that the material picking member 1222 can pick up the materials the next time it moves to the first preset position.

[0149] like Figure 7 、 Figure 8As shown, when the picking member 1222 in the picking mechanism 122 moves to the second preset position, the picking mechanism 122 is aligned with (aligned with) the assembly space 210 of the electronic device 200. When the picking member 1222 in the picking mechanism 122 moves to the second preset position, the picking hole 1223 on the picking member 1222 is aligned with the loading hole 1321 on the support member 132, allowing the component to be assembled in the picking hole 1223 to be assembled into the electronic device 200. Furthermore, when the electronic device 200 is in the preset assembly position, the loading hole 1321 on the support member 132 is aligned with the assembly space 210 (mounting hole 220) of the electronic device 200. Therefore, when the picking member 1222 moves to the second preset position, the picking hole 1223, the loading hole 1321, and the mounting hole 220 of the electronic device 200 are all aligned, allowing the component to be assembled in the picking hole 1223 to be assembled into the electronic device 200.

[0150] When the material picking member 1222 moves to the second preset position, the parts to be assembled in the material picking hole 1223 can be assembled into the electronic device 200 under the action of gravity. However, in order to further ensure that the parts to be assembled can be assembled in place, the third driving member 141 in the pushing mechanism 140 will drive the pushing member 142 to move. Figure 7 As shown, the pushing member 142 is now in the fifth preset position, and a certain distance is maintained between the pushing member 142 and the picking member 1222 to prevent the pushing member 142 from interfering with the movement of the picking member 1222. When the picking member 1222 reaches the second preset position, the third driving member 141 (third cylinder) drives the pushing member 142 to move from the fifth preset position to the sixth preset position, and the pushing rod 1421 on the pushing member 142 gradually extends into the picking hole 1223 and the loading hole 1321, pushing the parts to be assembled into the assembly space 210 (installation hole 220) of the electronic device 200. Figure 8 As shown, at this time, the pusher 142 is in the sixth preset position, and the pusher rod 1421 on the pusher 142 extends into the material extraction hole 1223, the charging hole 1321 and the assembly space 210 of the electronic device 200, pushing the parts to be assembled into the assembly space 210 of the electronic device 200. The length of the pusher rod 1421 can be set according to the depth of the material extraction hole 1223 and the charging hole 1321. After the pusher rod 1421 pushes the parts to be assembled into the assembly space 210 of the electronic device 200, the third driving member 141 drives the pusher 142 to move from the sixth preset position to the fifth preset position until it moves to the fifth preset position ( Figure 7The push rod 1421 is moved out of the assembly space 210 of the electronic device 200, and out of the loading hole 1321 and the removal hole 1223. The assembled electronic device 200 can now be removed to prevent the push rod 1421 from affecting the transportation of the assembled electronic device 200 and the normal operation of the removal member 1222.

[0151] During the process of the picking member 1222 of the picking mechanism 122 moving from the second preset position to the first preset position to pick up materials, and after the picking is completed, moving from the first preset position to the second preset position, the electronic device 200 can be calibrated to the preset assembly position by the calibration mechanism 130. In other words, the position calibration of the electronic device 200 is completed when the picking member 1222 reaches the second preset position to load materials, or before the picking member 1222 reaches the second preset position to load materials.

[0152] The calibration process can be referred to Figure 9 and Figure 10 , before calibrating the electronic device 200, Figure 9 As shown, there is a certain deviation between the assembly space 210 (power switch key mounting slot / volume adjustment key mounting slot) in the electronic device 200 and the guide block 1322 on the support member 132. Therefore, the second driving member 131 can be controlled so that the second driving member 131 drives the guide block 1322 on the support member 132 to move from the third preset position to the fourth preset position, and the guide block 1322 gradually moves toward the assembly space 210 of the electronic device 200. Since the position of the wire block in the x-axis direction is fixed and the guide block has a guiding effect, when the guide block moves from the third preset position to the direction of the fourth preset position (the negative direction of the z-axis), it will drive the electronic device 200 to move in the x-axis direction, so that the assembly space 210 of the electronic device 200 is matched with the guide block on the support member 132, thereby adjusting the position of the electronic device 200 to the preset assembly position.

[0153] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, when adjusting the electronic device 200 to a preset assembly position and adjusting the material dispensing mechanism 122 to the preset assembly position, a coordinate on the support member 132 is used as a reference. For example, the coordinate may be a guide block 1322 fixedly mounted on the support member 132. When adjusting the position of the electronic device 200, the guide block 1322 can be used as a reference to move the electronic device 200 to a position aligned with the guide block 1322, and this position is determined as the preset assembly position of the electronic device 200. Accordingly, when setting the material dispensing mechanism 122 to move to the predetermined assembly position, the guide block 1322 can also be used as a reference. That is, the loading hole 1321 on the support member 132 is positioned relative to the guide block 1322 so that the loading hole 1321 can align with the assembly space 210 (the mounting hole 220 in the power switch key mounting slot / volume adjustment key mounting slot) on the electronic device 200 in the preset assembly position. Thus, the picking member 1222 can be controlled to move to a predetermined assembly position (second preset position) so that the picking hole 1223 is aligned with the hole in the support member 132. This further achieves the fit between the picking mechanism 122 and the assembly space 210 of the electronic device 200, that is, the picking hole 1223 on the picking member 1222 is aligned with the mounting hole 220 in the electronic device 200. This allows the parts to be assembled in the picking mechanism 122 to be assembled in the electronic device 200.

[0154] In an embodiment of the present application, the assembly equipment 100 may further include a controller, which may be electrically connected to the vibration disk 162 in the feeding mechanism 160, and specifically may be electrically connected to the motor and the frequency converter in the vibration disk 162 to control the working state of the motor and the frequency converter. The controller may also be electrically connected to the second driving member 131 (second cylinder) in the calibration mechanism 130 to control the amplitude of the reciprocating motion of the second driving member 131 and the timing of the reciprocating motion. The controller may also be electrically connected to the first driving member 1221 (first cylinder) in the picking mechanism 122 to control the amplitude of the reciprocating motion of the first driving member 1221 and the timing of the reciprocating motion, thereby realizing control of the picking of the material by the picking member 1222. The controller can also be electrically connected to the third driving member 141 (third cylinder) in the pushing mechanism 140 to control the amplitude and timing of the reciprocating motion of the pushing member 142 by the third driving member 141, thereby pushing the parts to be assembled into the electronic device 200. The controller controls the coordinated movement of the various mechanisms to implement the assembly process described in the aforementioned embodiment.
