The material grabbing unit 413 is used to take out the second workpiece from the loading carrier 33 of the carrier input and output component 30 and transfer it to the glue dispensing component 60 to wait for glue dispensing treatment. In this embodiment, the above-mentioned assembly modules 41 are provided with four groups, and the four groups of the assembly modules 41 are arranged in parallel at the top of the cabinet 20 near the edge, and the four groups of the assembly modules 41 are located above the carrier input and output component 30. Since the first workpiece and the second workpiece need to be pressurized for a certain period of time after being assembled, in order to improve efficiency, multiple groups of assembly modules are provided to improve assembly efficiency.

[0054] The carrier input and output assembly 30 includes: a loading carrier 33 capable of loading a jig 300, a first drive module 31 driving the loading carrier 33 to move linearly back and forth, and a second drive module 32 arranged in parallel with the first drive module 31, the second drive module 32 is used to drive the jig 300 to output to the loading port. During the entire assembly and conveying process, the second workpiece is always transferred together with the jig 300, and is separated from the jig only when entering the static storage mechanism 200. The jig 300 flows back to the second drive module 32 again and is sent back to the feed port. The first drive module 31 and the second drive module 32 can both adopt linear guide drive modules, which are roughly vertically distributed with the above-mentioned multiple assembly modules 41. The first drive module 31 is used to drive the loading carrier 33 to move to the bottom of different assembly modules 41, so as to convey materials to multiple assembly modules 41 respectively.

The fine-tuning slide 522 is an existing mature functional module, also known as an angular displacement manual table, which will not be described in detail here. Since the assembly tool unit 52 is subjected to a large pressure during pressure maintenance, it will be offset. By setting the fine-tuning slide 522, it can be adjusted in time according to actual conditions.

[0060] Among them, a vertical plate 525 is provided on each side of the base plate 521, and the vertical plate 525 is connected to the two sides of the assembly vehicle 523 through an adjusting nut 526.

4. The automotive lamp dispensing assembly processing equipment according to claim 3 is characterized in that: A vertical plate is also provided on both sides of the bottom plate, and the vertical plate is connected to both sides of the assembly vehicle through adjusting nuts.

5. The automotive lamp dispensing assembly processing equipment according to claim 4 is characterized in that: The dispensing assembly includes: a transverse driving module and a dispensing module connected to the mobile end of the transverse driving module. The mobile end of the transverse driving module is also connected to a CCD detection module, and the CCD detection module is used to detect the dispensing quality of the dispensing module on the surface of the second workpiece.

6. The automotive lamp dispensing assembly processing equipment according to claim 5 is characterized in that: The automotive lamp dispensing assembly processing equipment also includes a controller and a barcode scanner. The barcode scanner is arranged at the feed port of the dispensing assembly mechanism and is used to read the surface barcode information of the first workpiece and the second workpiece. The controller is used to control the automotive lamp dispensing assembly processing equipment to execute the assembly process according to the set logic based on the loaded program instructions.

7. A glue dispensing assembly method, the glue dispensing assembly method is performed by the glue dispensing assembly processing equipment for automobile lamps according to claim 6, characterized in that: The following steps are involved: Loading the first workpiece and the second workpiece onto a loading carrier, and the first driving module drives the loading carrier to move to a loading station of the workpiece assembly component; The material grabbing unit takes the jig loaded with the second workpiece from the loading carrier and transfers it to the glue dispensing station of the glue dispensing component. At the same time, the material taking and pressure holding unit takes the first workpiece from the loading carrier to wait for assembly. The traverse drive module drives the glue dispensing module to move to the glue dispensing station to inject glue into the set position of the second workpiece; The CCD detection module takes pictures and detects the second workpiece after dispensing, and the qualified workpieces continue to the next process; The linear module drives the assembly tool unit to move away from the dispensing module, and the transfer unit drives the material picking and pressure holding unit to move to the assembly station, placing the first workpiece onto the second workpiece, and maintaining the pressure for a set time; The linear module drives the assembly tool unit loaded with the assembled workpiece to move to the discharge end, and the loading robot takes out the workpiece and transfers it to the rotating static cabinet for static storage; The unloading robot takes the workpiece that has finished resting out of the rotating resting cabinet again and unloads it.
