[0071] While automation levels continue to improve and UPH continues to rise, existing production lines still require a significant amount of manual work to align the lines. This is inefficient, labor-intensive, and prone to finger fatigue, inconsistent alignment, and unstable alignment.
[0072] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention proposes that the main purpose of the present invention is to provide a line-aligning device and a line-aligning method thereof, aiming to provide a line-aligning device that can fully automatically align the line.
[0073] Figures 1 to 4 This is a structural diagram of an embodiment of the line alignment device 100 provided by the present invention.
[0074] Please refer to Figures 1 to 2 , and refer to Figure 5 The present invention proposes a line-aligning device 100, comprising a machine base 1, a carrying tool 2 movably arranged on the machine base 1, a transfer piece 3 and a line-aligning device 4, wherein the machine base 1 is formed with a loading station 11, a line-aligning station 12 and a blanking station 13; the carrying tool 2 is used to carry products, and the carrying tool 2 is movably arranged on the machine base 1, and can reach the loading station 11 and the blanking station 13 within its movable range; the transfer piece 3 is used to transfer the product from the loading station 11 to the line-aligning station 12, and the line-aligning device 4 is provided. The final product is transferred from the alignment station 12 to the unloading station 13; the alignment device 4 includes an alignment part 41, and the alignment part 41 is used to clamp and limit the cable 201 led out from the product according to a preset routing path and a clamping part 202 provided on the preset routing path. The alignment equipment 100 also includes a transfer drive device that drives the transfer part 3 to transport the product and an alignment drive device that drives the sequential part 41 to align the product, as well as a control device electrically connected to the transfer drive device and the alignment drive device.
[0075] In the technical solution of the present invention, the carrying tooling 2 on the assembly line transports the carried product to the loading station 11, and then controls the transfer drive device to work so that the transfer part 3 transports the product to the line aligning station 12. At the line aligning station 12, the line aligning drive device is controlled to work so that the line aligning part 41 clamps and limits the cable 201 led out from the product according to the preset routing path and the clamping part 202 provided on the preset routing path. After completing the alignment, the transfer part 3 transports the product to the unloading station 13 and transports it along the assembly line to complete the fully automatic alignment, thereby realizing the fully automatic alignment of the line aligning equipment 100.
[0076] In order to make the processing efficiency higher, the loading station 11 and the unloading station 13 are spaced apart in the horizontal direction, and the aligning station 12 is located on one side of the loading station 11 and the unloading station 13 in the vertical direction; with this arrangement, the products on the assembly line can be aligned at the aligning station 12 on the side when passing through the loading station 11 and the unloading station 13 in sequence, and then flow into the assembly line again, so that the overall aligning equipment 100 and the various components on the overall assembly line can be arranged in an orderly manner, and the structure is more compact.
[0077] Specifically, please refer to Figure 2 The line-aligning equipment 100 also includes a conveying rack 5 extending in the transverse direction, and the conveying rack 5 is located at the line-aligning station 12. The line-aligning station 12 includes an line-aligning position, a material receiving position 122 and a unloading position 124 arranged at intervals in the transverse direction. The line-aligning device 4 also includes a line-aligning carrier 42, and the line-aligning carrier 42 is movably arranged on the conveying rack 5 so as to be able to reach the line-aligning position, the material receiving position 122 and the unloading position 124 during its movable stroke. The line-aligning member 41 is used to cooperate with the line-aligning carrier 42 when the line-aligning carrier 42 reaches the line-aligning position to align the product; the transfer member 3 includes a first transfer part 31 and a second transfer part 32, the first transfer part 31 is used to transfer the product from the loading station 11 to the material receiving position 122 at the line-aligning station 12, and the second transfer part 32 is used to transfer the product from the unloading position 124 at the line-aligning station 12 to the unloading station 13.
[0078] With such an arrangement, the line-aligning station 12 is subdivided, making the operation of the overall line-aligning device 4 more organized, the work of each component less likely to interfere with each other, and the efficiency is higher; when material connection is required, the line-aligning carrier 42 moves to the material connection position 122, and the product is transferred from the loading station 11 to the material connection position 122 at the line-aligning station 12 through one of the transfer parts, and then the product is driven to the line-aligning position by the line-aligning carrier 42, so that the product is aligned through the line-aligning part 41. After the alignment is completed, the product is driven to the unloading position 124 by the line-aligning carrier 42, and the product is transferred from the unloading position 124 at the line-aligning station 12 to the unloading station 13 through another transfer part, that is, the two transfer parts respectively load the products to be aligned on the loading station 11 and unload the products whose alignment is completed on the line-aligning station 12, and the loading and unloading of the products will not interfere with each other, and the efficiency is higher.
[0079] It should be noted that the present design does not limit the driving element that drives the linear carrier 42 to move laterally, and it can be a cylinder, an electric pulley, etc.
[0080] It can be understood that the transfer part includes a picking-up part that is movable along the longitudinal direction, one of the picking-up parts is used to pick up the product at the loading station 11, and then move longitudinally to the receiving position 122 to release the product, and the other picking-up part is used to pick up the product at the unloading position 124, and then move longitudinally to the unloading station 13 and release it. The loading station 11 and the receiving position 122 are in the same longitudinal direction, and the unloading station 13 and the unloading position 124 are in the same longitudinal direction. Such an arrangement simplifies the transfer part, and the picking-up part only needs to move longitudinally and up and down to transfer the product, without moving in the horizontal direction. It should be noted that there are many ways for the picking-up part to pick up the product, which can be a magnetic suction method or a clamping method. This design does not limit the way the picking-up part picks up the product.
[0081] Further, in order to improve the efficiency of the line, please refer to Figure 2 In this embodiment, the in-line position includes a first in-line position 121 and a second in-line position 125 which are spaced apart in the transverse direction. The first in-line position 121, the material receiving position 122, the material unloading position 124 and the second in-line position 125 are spaced apart in sequence in the transverse direction. The in-line bearing member 42 includes a first in-line bearing portion 421 and a second in-line bearing portion 422. The first in-line bearing portion 421 can reach the first in-line position 121 and the material receiving position 122 within its movable stroke. The second in-line bearing portion 422 can reach the second in-line position 125 and the material unloading position 124 within its movable stroke. The number of the in-line members 41 is set to two. The two line-aligning members 41 are respectively arranged corresponding to the first line-aligning carrying part 421 and the second line-aligning carrying part 422. One of the line-aligning members 41 is used to cooperate with the first line-aligning carrying part 421 to align the upper part of the cable 201 of the product when the first line-aligning carrying part 421 reaches the first line-aligning position 121, and the other line-aligning member 41 is used to cooperate with the second line-aligning carrying part 422 to align the remaining part of the cable 201 of the product when the second line-aligning carrying part 422 reaches the second line-aligning position 125; the line-aligning device 100 also includes a transfer member 6, which can transfer the product from the first line-aligning position 121 to the second line-aligning position 125.
[0082] With such an arrangement, the line aligning efficiency can be greatly improved by aligning the product through the two line aligning members 41. When one of the line aligning members 41 aligns the product, the other line aligning member 41 can align the next product arriving at the line aligning station 12 or the previous product arriving at the line aligning station 12, and the first line aligning position 121 and the second line aligning position 125 are respectively arranged at positions close to the two ends of the line aligning station 12 in the horizontal direction. When the two line aligning members 41 work at the same time, they are not likely to interfere with each other.
[0083] In order to make the movable stroke of the transfer member 6 shorter, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, the in-line position also includes an intermediate switching position 123, and the intermediate switching position 123 is arranged at intervals between the material receiving position 122 and the unloading position 124. The first in-line load-bearing portion 421 and the second in-line load-bearing portion 422 can both reach the intermediate switching position 123, and the transfer member 6 includes a picking portion 61 located above the intermediate switching position 123, and the picking portion 61 is used to pick up the product when the first in-line load-bearing portion 421 reaches the intermediate switching position, and release the product when the second in-line load-bearing portion 422 reaches the intermediate switching position.
[0084] In this arrangement, after the product is partially aligned at the first alignment position 121, the first alignment support portion 421 drives the product to move to the intermediate switching position 123. Since the first alignment support portion 421 and the second alignment support portion 422 can move laterally themselves, the picking portion 61 in the transfer member 6 only needs to move in the up and down directions to pick up the product on the first alignment support portion 421, and release the product after the second alignment support portion 422 reaches the intermediate switching position 123. The picking portion 61 does not need to move in the laterally, and the stroke is shorter.
[0085] It should be noted that there is no limitation on the way the picking portion 61 picks up the product, and it can be magnetic pickup or gripper pickup.
[0086] It can be understood that after the picking part 61 picks up the product on the first line-aligning carrying part 421, the first line-aligning carrying part 421 moves to the material receiving position 122 to wait for the next product to be aligned, thereby improving efficiency; after the picking part 61 releases the product, the second line-aligning carrying part 422 moves to the second line-aligning position 125 for alignment.
[0087] Furthermore, in order to enable the transfer unit to accurately pick up the product and transport it to the line alignment station 12, in this embodiment, the line alignment equipment 100 also includes a position detection device, which is used to detect the position of the carrying tooling 2 and the product.
[0088] Specifically, the position detection device includes a photographing unit, and by capturing images, the positions of the product and the carrying tooling 2 can be determined by capturing only one image.
[0089] Furthermore, there are at least two photographing parts, and the two photographing parts are fixed to the two picking up parts respectively, and move along the longitudinal direction with the picking up parts, thereby ensuring that the two picking up parts can accurately pick up or place products according to the required angles and positions.
[0090] It is understandable that the photographing unit may also be fixedly mounted on the picking unit 61 so as to be able to pick up or place products more accurately.
[0091] It is understandable that the photographing unit is provided on the line aligning member 41 so as to obtain the position of the cable 201 on the product, thereby setting a routing path according to the position of the cable 201 to align the product.
[0092] In this embodiment, the line-aligning device 100 further includes a conveyor line 7 , and the conveyor line 7 is used to convey the carrying tool 2 so that the carrying tool 2 can reach the loading station 11 and the unloading station 13 .
[0093] In order to enable the carrying tooling 2 to stop at the loading station 11 and be transported to the line aligning station 12, in this embodiment, the line aligning equipment 100 also includes a lifting mechanism 8, and the lifting mechanism 8 includes a first lifting part and a second lifting part. The first lifting part and the second lifting part are both movably arranged in the up and down directions. The first lifting part is used to lift the carrying tooling 2 upward when the carrying tooling 2 arrives at the loading station 11, and the second lifting part is used to move downward when the carrying tooling 2 arrives at the unloading station 13 to release the carrying tooling 2 onto the conveyor line 7.
[0094] Specifically, please refer to Figure 4 The line-aligning member 41 includes a clamping portion 412 and a pressing portion 413 movably installed relative to the machine base 1. The clamping portion 412 is used to pull the cable 201 led out from the product along a preset routing path, and the pressing portion 413 is used to press the cable 201 into the clamping portion 202 provided on the preset routing path to clamp and limit it.
[0095] After the product to be aligned arrives at the alignment station 12, the preset routing path is determined according to the number and position information of the holding parts 202 in the product, and the cable 201 led out from the product is pulled along the preset routing path by the clamping part 412. When the cable 201 is pulled to the holding part 202 provided on the preset routing path, the cable 201 is pressed into the clamping limit on the holding part 202 by the pressing part 413. After the cable 201 is pressed into the multiple holding parts 202 on the preset routing path in the product in turn, the alignment of the product can be completed. In this way, automatic alignment of the product is realized to replace manual alignment operation, reduce the labor intensity of workers, save labor costs, and solve the problem of unstable and low efficiency of manual alignment.
[0096] Here, it should be noted that the present invention does not impose any specific restrictions on the specific form of the product, and it can be a speaker or other electronic products that require wiring.
[0097] It can be understood that the clamping portion 412 and the pressing portion 413 can be driven by two driving mechanisms respectively to move along the preset path, but this will make the structure of the line-aligning device 100 complicated, increase the difficulty of control, and there will be interference when the two driving mechanisms are moving. In order to make the structure of the line-aligning member 41 more compact, in this embodiment, the line-aligning member 41 includes a mounting seat 411 movably installed relative to the machine base 1, the clamping portion 412 is provided on the mounting seat 411, and the pressing portion 413 is movably installed on the mounting seat 411 along the up and down directions. By arranging the clamping portion 412 and the pressing portion 413 on the mounting seat 411, the mounting seat 411 can drive the two to move along the preset path, and the pressing portion 413 can move in the up and down directions, so that when the cable 201 led out of the product by the clamping portion 412 is pulled to the position corresponding to the clamping portion 202 according to the preset routing path, the pressing portion 413 moves downward to press the cable 201 into the clamping limit position on the clamping portion 202.
[0098] It should be noted that, in the present invention, there is no specific limitation on the driving structure for driving the pressing part 413 to move up and down, and it may be a cam structure, a connecting rod structure, a screw structure, etc., which will not be described in detail here. Preferably, the pressing part 413 is driven by a cylinder, and the pressing part 413 is connected to the piston rod of the cylinder.
[0099] It is understandable that different products have different sizes, different positions of the clamping parts 202, and different directness of the cables 201. Therefore, different products correspond to different clamping parts 412 during line alignment. In order to prevent the clamping part 412 from not matching the product and causing the line alignment process to be unsmooth, the clamping part 412 is detachable and has an information code. The line alignment equipment 100 also includes an information identification device and an alarm device. The information identification device is used to identify the information code on the clamping part 412 and the product, so that an alarm signal can be sent through the alarm device when the information parameters in the information code do not match.
[0100] It is understandable that the extension directions of the slots on the multiple holding parts 202 in the product may be different. In order to ensure that the direction of the cable 201 is consistent with the extension direction of the slot in the holding part 202, so that the pressing part 413 can press down to hold the cable 201 on the holding part 202, in this embodiment, the mounting seat 411 is rotatably installed relative to the machine base 1 along the axis extending in the up and down directions, and can also move linearly relative to the machine base 1 in the up and down directions. In this way, after the clamping part 412 clamps the cable 201, it can be rotated by the mounting seat 411 and adjusted to a suitable direction and height. When the cable 201 is pressed down by the pressing part 413, it can be aligned with the slot of the holding part 202, and the cable 201 is not easily damaged.
[0101] Among them, the clamping part 412 has a first clamping state and a second clamping state. When the clamping part 412 is in the first clamping state, it is in a posture of hugging the cable 201 but not clamping it. The cable 201 can be hugged for pulling. The cable 201 will not fall and the possibility of damaging the cable 201 is small. When the clamping part 412 is in the second clamping state, it is in a posture of completely clamping the cable 201, and the cable 201 can be pulled to be pre-clamped on the clamping part 202.
[0102] It is understandable that the positions of the various clamping parts 202 are not the same in different products. In order to be able to obtain the specific positions of the various clamping parts 202 in the products, in this embodiment, the line-aligning member 41 also includes a photographing part, which is movably installed relative to the base 1 and is used to take pictures of the product to determine the position of the clamping part 202 on the product. In this way, the specific position of each clamping part 202 in the product can be determined based on the photo information obtained by the photographing part, and then the preset routing path of the clamping part 412 can be determined based on the specific position. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the specific form of the photographing part is not specifically limited. It only needs to be able to take pictures to obtain position information. For example, it can be a camera, a webcam, etc.
[0103] In addition, in order to ensure that the cable 201 can be accurately inserted into the clamping portion 202 in the vertical direction, and to avoid the pressing portion 413 not being pressed down far enough to be completely inserted, or being pressed down too far to damage the cable 201, in this embodiment, the line-aligning member 41 also includes a detection portion, which is linked to the clamping portion 412 and is used to detect the position of each clamping portion 202 on the product and / or the distance between the clamping portion 202 and the product. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the specific form of the detection portion is not specifically limited. For example, it can be a laser displacement sensor, an ultrasonic distance sensor, etc.

[0109] Based on the above device, the present invention also provides a line-aligning method of the line-aligning device 100. Figure 7 1 is a flow chart of a first embodiment of a line alignment method of a line alignment device 100 according to the present invention.

[0113] S30: After the product is aligned, the transfer drive device is controlled to operate so that the transfer member 3 transfers the product from the alignment station 12 to the unloading station 13.

[0115] The present invention provides a second embodiment of a line alignment method of the line alignment device 100 .
[0116] Based on the above first embodiment, in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 , the loading station 11 and the unloading station 13 are spaced apart in the transverse direction, the line-aligning station 12 is on one side of the loading station 11 and the unloading station 13 in the longitudinal direction, and a first line-aligning position 121, a material receiving position 122, a material unloading position 124 and a second line-aligning position 125 are formed at the line-aligning station 12 and spaced apart in the transverse direction; the line-aligning device 4 also includes a first line-aligning bearing part 421, a second line-aligning bearing part 422, a first translation drive device for driving the first line-aligning bearing part 421 to move, and a second translation drive device for driving the second line-aligning bearing part 422 to move, the line-aligning equipment 100 also includes a transfer member 6 movably arranged relative to the machine base 1 and a transfer drive device for driving the transfer member 6 to move, and the number of the line-aligning members 41 is set to two; step S20 of the line-aligning method of the line-aligning equipment 100 in this embodiment includes:
[0117] S21: Controlling the first translation driving device to operate so that the first line-aligning bearing portion 421 moves from the material receiving position 122 to the first line-aligning position 121;
[0118] S22: Control the line-aligning driving device to work so that the corresponding line-aligning member 41 cooperates with the first line-aligning bearing portion 421 to clamp and limit the first cable led out of the product to the clamping portion 202 provided on the first preset wiring path according to the first preset wiring path;
[0119] S23: Controlling the transfer drive device to operate so that the transfer member 6 transfers the product from the first in-line position 121 to the second in-line position 125;
[0120] S24: After the product is in the second alignment position 125, the alignment drive device is controlled to work so that the corresponding alignment member 41 cooperates with the second alignment bearing portion 422 to clamp and limit the second cable led out from the product according to the second preset routing path and the clamping portion 202 provided on the second preset routing path.
[0121] In the technical solution of this embodiment, the loading station 11 and the unloading station 13 are spaced apart in the transverse direction, and the line-aligning station 12 is located on one side of the loading station 11 and the unloading station 13 in the longitudinal direction. With such an arrangement, the products on the assembly line can be aligned at the line-aligning station 12 on the side when passing through the loading station 11 and the unloading station 13 in sequence, and then flow into the assembly line again, so that the entire line-aligning equipment 100 and the various components on the entire assembly line can be arranged in an orderly manner, and the structure is convenient to manufacture. The structure is more compact; and by aligning the product with the two aligning members 41, the aligning efficiency can be greatly improved. When one of the aligning members 41 aligns the product, the other aligning member 41 can align the next product arriving at the aligning station 12 or the previous product arriving at the aligning station 12, and the first aligning position 121 and the second aligning position 125 are respectively arranged at positions close to the two ends of the aligning station 12 in the horizontal direction. When the two aligning members 41 work at the same time, they are not likely to interfere with each other.
[0122] The present invention provides a third embodiment of a line alignment method using a line alignment device 100 .
[0123] Based on the above second embodiment, in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The line aligning station 12 further includes an intermediate switching position 123 disposed between the receiving position 122 and the unloading position 124. The transfer member 6 includes a picking portion 61 located above the intermediate switching position 123. The transfer drive device drives the picking portion 61 to pick up or release the product. In this embodiment, step S23 of the line aligning method of the line aligning device 100 includes:
[0124] S231: Controlling the first translation driving device to operate so that the first in-line bearing portion 421 moves from the first in-line position 121 to the intermediate switching position 123;
[0125] S232: Controlling the transfer drive device to operate so that the picking portion 61 picks up the product;
[0126] S233: Control the second translation drive device to operate so that the second linear bearing portion 422 moves to the intermediate switching position 123;
[0127] S234: Controlling the transfer drive device to operate so that the pickup portion 61 releases the product;
[0128] S235 : Control the second translation drive device to operate, so that the second in-line bearing portion 422 moves to the second in-line position 125 .
[0129] In the technical solution of this embodiment, after the product is partially aligned at the first alignment position 121, the first alignment carrying portion 421 drives the product to move to the intermediate switching position 123. Since the first alignment carrying portion 421 and the second alignment carrying portion 422 can move laterally, the picking portion 61 in the transfer member 6 only needs to move in the up and down directions to pick up the product on the first alignment carrying portion 421, and release the product after the second alignment carrying portion 422 reaches the intermediate switching position 123. The picking portion 61 does not need to move in the laterally, and the stroke is shorter.
[0130] The present invention provides a fourth embodiment of a line alignment method using a line alignment device 100 .
[0131] Based on the above first embodiment, in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 The line-aligning device 100 further includes a lifting member 81 movably provided relative to the machine base 1, a positioning member 82 movably provided on the lifting member 81, a lifting drive device for driving the lifting member 81 to move, and a positioning drive device for driving the positioning member 82 to move. Step S10 of the line-aligning method of the line-aligning device 100 includes:
[0132] S11: After the carrying fixture 2 carrying the product is at the loading station 11, the positioning drive device is controlled to operate so that the positioning member 82 positions the product in the horizontal direction;
[0133] Specifically, the positioning member 82 includes two positioning parts that move longitudinally, that is, move along the width direction of the conveyor line 7. After the carrying tool 2 is at the loading station 11, the carrying tool 2 is clamped and positioned by the two positioning parts, so that the product can be maintained at the loading station 11.
[0134] S12: Control the lifting drive device to operate so that the lifting member 81 lifts the product upward;
[0135] Specifically, the lifting member 81 can directly lift the product, or lift the carrying tooling 2 .
[0136] S13: Control the transfer drive device to operate so that the transfer unit 3 transfers the product to the line-aligning station 12.
[0137] In the technical solution of this embodiment, after the carrying tool 2 carrying the product is at the loading station 11, the product is positioned by the positioning member 82 so that the product can be maintained at the loading station 11, and the carrying work is lifted by the lifting member 81 so that the product is lifted to separate from the conveyor line 7, making it convenient for the transfer member 3 to transfer the product.
[0138] The present invention provides a fifth embodiment of a line alignment method using a line alignment device 100 .
[0139] Based on the first embodiment described above, in this embodiment, before step S10, the line alignment method of the line alignment device 100 includes:
[0140] S08: Acquire the actual model information of the clamping portion 412;
[0141] Specifically, the line-aligning device 100 also includes a model information acquisition device to obtain the model of the clamping part 412. The model information acquisition device can be a barcode scanner for identifying the information code on the clamping part 412, or it can obtain the actual model information of the clamping part 412 by taking pictures.
[0142] S09: When the actual model information matches the demand signal information, the selection condition is met.
[0143] It is understandable that the thickness of the upper cable 201 of different products is different, and the size of the space available for the clamping part 412 to move is different. Therefore, different products require different models of the clamping part 412 when aligning the cable.
[0144] In the technical solution of this embodiment, before the product is aligned, it is determined whether the clamping part 412 matches the product to avoid damage to the product and the clamping part 412 due to mismatch of the clamping part 412 during the alignment process, thereby ensuring that the alignment can proceed normally.
[0145] A schematic flow chart of a sixth embodiment of a line alignment method for a line alignment device 100 of the present invention.
[0146] Based on the above first embodiment, in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 The line-aligning member 41 includes a movably arranged mounting seat 411 and a clamping portion 412 and a pressing portion 413 provided on the mounting seat 411. The line-aligning driving device includes a first driving device that drives the mounting seat 411 to move, a second driving device that drives the pressing portion 413 to move relative to the clamping portion 412, and a third driving device that drives the clamping portion 412 to perform a clamping action. In this embodiment, step S20 of the line-aligning method of the line-aligning device 100 includes:
[0147] S21a: After the product is in the line-aligning position at the line-aligning station 12, the position information of each holding portion 202 on the product is obtained;
[0148] S22a: Determine a first preset routing path according to the position information;
[0149] S23a: Control the first drive device, the second drive device, and the third drive device to work so that the clamping portion 412 and the pressing portion 413 cooperate with each other, thereby allowing the first cable to be clamped in the clamping portion 202 according to the first preset routing path.
[0150] In the technical solution of this embodiment, after the product is in the alignment position at the alignment station 12, the position information of each clamping part 202 on the product is obtained, and the first preset routing path is determined according to the position information, and the first drive device, the second drive device and the third drive device are controlled to work so that the clamping part 412 and the pressing part 413 cooperate with each other, and then the first cable is clamped in the clamping part 202 according to the first preset routing path. In this way, the product is automatically assembled along the line through the alignment equipment 100 to replace manual alignment operations, reduce the labor intensity of workers, save labor costs, and solve the problem of unstable and low efficiency of manual alignment.
[0151] The present invention provides a seventh embodiment of a line alignment method using a line alignment device 100 .
[0152] Based on the sixth embodiment, step S21a of the line alignment method of the line alignment device 100 of this embodiment includes:
[0153] S211a: Acquire the planar image information and elevation information of the product;
[0154] S212a: Determine the planar position information of each of the holding portions 202 provided on the product according to the planar image information of the product;
[0155] S213a: Determine the height position information of each of the holding portions 202 provided on the product according to the elevation information of the product;
[0156] S214a: Determine the position information of each of the clamping parts 202 on the product according to the plane position information and the height position information.
[0157] Specifically, the line-aligning device 100 further includes an image acquisition device and a distance measuring device movably installed relative to the machine base 1 . The image acquisition device may be an industrial camera, and the distance measuring device may be a laser displacement sensor.
[0158] In the technical solution of this embodiment, the three-dimensional position of each of the clamping parts 202 can be confirmed by the image acquisition device and the distance measuring device, which can make the preset routing path more superior, and can align the product with the shortest stroke to improve efficiency, and can better control the downward pressing distance of the pressing part 413 driven by the second driving device to avoid damage to the cable 201 due to excessive downward pressing distance, or failure to completely insert the cable 201 into the clamping part 202 due to excessive downward pressing distance.
[0159] The present invention provides an eighth embodiment of a line alignment method using a line alignment device 100 .
[0160] Based on the sixth embodiment, in this embodiment, step S23a of the line alignment method of the line alignment device 100 includes:
[0161] S231a: Control the third driving device to operate so that the clamping portion 412 has a first clamping state to hold the first cable;
[0162] S232a: Control the first driving device to operate, pull the first cable above the holding portion 202, and pass over the holding portion 202 in the routing direction of the first preset routing path, so that the first cable is laid on the holding portion 202;
[0163] S233a: Control the third driving device to operate so that the clamping portion 412 has a second clamping state to clamp the first cable;
[0164] S234a: Controlling the first driving device to work, pulling the first cable downward, so that the first cable is pre-clamped on the clamping portion 202;
[0165] S235a: Control the second driving device to operate, so that the pressing portion 413 performs a downward pressing action, so that the first cable is finally clamped on the clamping portion 202.
[0166] In the technical solution of this embodiment, when it is necessary to pull the first cable to the top of the clamping portion 202, the clamping portion 412 is in the first clamping state, that is, it hugs the first cable. Since the clamping portion 412 in the first clamping state does not apply a clamping force to the first cable, it can pull the first cable to move without causing damage to the first cable; since the first cable is pre-clamped on the clamping portion 202, the clamping portion 412 needs to move downward to pull the first cable down, so the third driving device is controlled to work so that the clamping portion 412 is in the second clamping state, which can clamp the first cable, and finally cooperate with the movement of the pressing portion 413 to completely clamp the first cable into the clamping portion 202.
