[0035] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended only to explain the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0036] Reference below Figures 1-4The automatic erection system 100 of the drive assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention is described, comprising: a conveying device 10 and a pallet 20, wherein the pallet 20 is suitable for being placed on the conveying device 10, the conveying device 10 is used to transport the pallet 20, the pallet 20 has an identification feature structure, and the pallet 20 also has a support portion 22, the support portion 22 is rotatably arranged on the pallet 20, and the support portion 22 has a vertical support position for supporting the drive assembly; a collaborative robot 30, the collaborative robot 30 is arranged on one side of the conveying device 10; an erection device 40, the erection device 40 is arranged at the working end 31 of the collaborative robot 30, and the erection device 40 includes a visual camera 41 and a clamping assembly 42, and the visual camera 41 is used to take a picture of the pallet 20 to Identify the identification feature structure position information of the identification feature structure, the clamping assembly 42 is used to clamp or release the support part 22; the control device 50, the control device 50 is communicatively connected with the collaborative robot 30, the visual camera 41 and the clamping assembly 42, the control device 50 is configured to control the collaborative robot 30 to drive the erecting device 40 to move so that the visual camera 41 identifies the identification feature structure position information of the identification feature structure, the control device 50 is also configured to control the collaborative robot 30 to drive the erecting device 40 to move to the target position according to the identification feature structure position information, and drive the clamping assembly 42 to clamp the support part 22, and drive the collaborative robot 30 to move so that the support part 22 rotates to the vertical support position.

[0037] The pallet 20 is suitable for placement on the conveyor 10. The conveyor 10 may include a conveyor belt, a pulley conveyor, a roller conveyor, and the like. The conveyor 10 is used to transport the pallet 20 along the production line. The conveying speed is fast, and the conveying process is safe and stable, which can reduce the risk of the pallet 20 being broken or damaged, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing production costs. In addition, after the drive assembly is assembled, the pallet 20 needs to be used for carrying and the conveyor 10 for transportation, so that the drive assembly can complete the installation of subsequent process components. It can be explained that the upper surface of the pallet 20 can be fixed with multiple lifting rings 21, respectively located at the four corners of the pallet 20. When the pallet 20 needs to be removed from the conveyor 10, the pallet 20 can be removed from the conveyor 10 using the lifting rings 21, thereby avoiding touching the support portion 22 on the pallet 20, reducing the risk of damage to the support portion 22, and thereby increasing the service life of the pallet 20. When the pallet 20 needs to be placed on the conveyor 10, the pallet 20 can be placed on the conveyor 10 using the lifting rings 21.

[0038] The tray 20 has an identification feature structure, and the identification feature structure and the tray 20 can be integrally formed. The tray 20 also has a support portion 22. The support portion 22 and the tray 20 can be directly connected, or the support portion 22 can be indirectly connected to the tray 20 through other structural members. The support portion 22 is rotatably provided on the tray 20. For example, the support portion 22 and the tray 20 can be rotatably connected through a pin shaft, or the support portion 22 and the tray 20 can be rotatably connected through a bearing. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. The support portion 22 and the tray 20 can also be rotatably connected through a pin or other means, as long as the support portion 22 is rotatably provided on the tray 20. The support portion 22 has a vertical support position for supporting the drive assembly. When the support portion 22 is in the vertical support position, the support portion 22 can be used to support the drive assembly so that the drive assembly can complete the installation of subsequent process components.

[0039] The collaborative robot 30 can work collaboratively with humans on the production line, offering a cost-effective, safe, and convenient solution that can significantly boost the development of manufacturing companies. Positioned on one side of the conveyor 10, the collaborative robot 30 can be brought close to the pallet 20 on the conveyor 10, facilitating operations such as grasping, clamping, and assembly of structures on the pallet 20. This, in turn, improves the automation level of the production line, reduces labor costs, and ensures safety and flexibility in the production process.

[0040] The poking device 40 is provided at the working end 31 of the collaborative robot 30. For example, the poking device 40 and the collaborative robot 30 can be fixedly connected by bolts, or the poking device 40 and the collaborative robot 30 can be fixedly connected by snapping. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. The poking device 40 and the collaborative robot 30 can also be fixedly connected by other means, as long as the poking device 40 is provided at the working end 31 of the collaborative robot 30. With such a configuration, the collaborative robot 30 can perform the poking work through the poking device 40. The poking device 40 includes a visual camera 41 and a clamping assembly 42. The visual camera 41 is a mainstream sensor for target detection. It collects light emitted from the surroundings and irradiated onto a photosensitive surface through a camera lens, thereby generating a clear image, so that the visual camera 41 is used to take pictures of the pallet 20 to identify the position information of the identification feature structure. The clamping assembly 42 is used to clamp or release the support part 22, so that the clamping assembly 42 can clamp the support part 22, so that the collaborative robot 30 can move to rotate the support part 22 to the vertical support position, which can replace manual labor to complete the erection operation, which can not only improve the erection quality, but also reduce human labor intensity. At the same time, it can free up human labor from single and repetitive work to engage in work with higher added value, so as to improve labor efficiency and thus reduce labor costs.

[0041] The control device 50 can be an automated controller that can be autonomously controlled and adjusted through a computer or other intelligent device. The control device 50 is communicatively connected to the collaborative robot 30, the visual camera 41 and the clamping assembly 42. For example, the control device 50 can be communicatively connected to the collaborative robot 30, the visual camera 41 and the clamping assembly 42 through a wiring harness, or the collaborative robot 30, the visual camera 41 and the clamping assembly 42 can be wirelessly connected. As long as the control device 50 is communicatively connected to the collaborative robot 30, the visual camera 41 and the clamping assembly 42, it can be sufficient.

[0042] The control device 50 is configured to control the collaborative robot 30 to drive the erecting device 40 to move so that the visual camera 41 can identify the identification feature structure position information of the identification feature structure. The control device 50 is also configured to control the collaborative robot 30 to drive the erecting device 40 to move to the target position according to the identification feature structure position information, and drive the clamping assembly 42 to clamp the support part 22, and drive the collaborative robot 30 to move so that the support part 22 rotates to the vertical support position.

[0043] Specifically, the production line can be provided with a PLC controller, and the conveying device 10 can be provided with an in-position switch for detecting whether the pallet 20 has reached the disassembly operation point. The PLC controller is communicatively connected with the in-position switch and the control device 50. The pallet 20 reaches the disassembly operation point through the transfer of the conveying device 10. After the in-position switch on the conveying device 10 detects the in-position signal of the pallet 20, the in-position switch sends the in-position signal to the PLC controller, and the PLC controller controls the conveying device 10 to stop so that the pallet 20 stops at the disassembly operation point.

[0044] Further, the PLC controller sends a working instruction to the control device 50, after the control device 50 receives the working instruction, the control device 50 controls the collaborative robot 30 to drive the poking device 40 to move so as to make the visual camera 41 identify the identification feature position information of the identification feature, after the visual camera 41 accurately calculates, the visual camera 41 feeds back the position information of the current tray 20 and the support point coordinate information required to be poked to the collaborative robot 30, the control device 50 controls the collaborative robot 30 to drive the poking device 40 to move to the target position according to the identification feature position information, after the poking device 40 moves to the target position, the control device 50 drives the clamping assembly 42 to clamp the support part 22, and then the control device 50 drives the collaborative robot 30 to act so as to make the support part 22 rotate to the vertical support position, so as to complete the poking work of one support part 22, at this time, the control device 50 controls the collaborative robot 30 to drive the poking device 40 to move to the position of the next support part 22 to perform the poking work of the next support part 22, until all the support parts 22 on the tray 20 are poked, and then the control device 50 controls the collaborative robot 30 to return to the starting position, and the control device 50 sends a signal to the PLC controller, and the PLC controller controls the conveying device 10 to work, and the tray 20 is transported out of the current poking work point, so as to make the tray 20 enter the next work point, so as to drive the assembly to complete the installation of subsequent process components.

[0045] Therefore, through the operation of the above driving assembly automatic poking system 100, manual operation can be replaced to realize automatic poking, not only the poking quality can be improved, but also the labor intensity of people can be reduced, at the same time, people can be released from single repetitive work to engage in higher value-added work, so as to improve the work efficiency and reduce the labor cost, in addition, through the integration of the visual camera 41 on the working end 31, the positions of multiple trays 20 can be identified, the flexibility is greatly improved, and the driving assembly automatic poking system 100 has great advantages in the face of production lines with multiple models or faster update iteration frequency, and the driving assembly automatic poking system 100 has the advantages of compact structure, simple operation, easy maintenance and upgrading.

[0046] According to some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 2 The visual camera 41 can also be used to take a photo of the tray 20 to obtain tray position information of the tray 20 and support part position information of the support part 22, and the control device 50 can also be configured to control the collaborative robot 30 to move according to a preset trajectory according to the tray position information and the support part position information, so as to drive the poking device 40 to move to the target position.

[0047] Specifically, when the pallet 20 is transported to the erection operation point by the conveying device 10, the visual camera 41 is used to take a picture of the pallet 20 to obtain the pallet position information of the pallet 20 and the support position information of the support part 22. After precise calculation by the visual camera 41, the visual camera 41 feeds back the pallet position information of the current pallet 20 and the coordinate information of the support point that needs to be erected to the collaborative robot 30. The control device 50 can receive the information obtained by the visual camera 41 and work, and then the control device 50 controls the collaborative robot 30 to drive the erection device 40 to move to the target position according to the pallet position information of the current pallet 20 and the coordinate information of the support point that needs to be erected. The collaborative robot 30 can automatically perform trajectory error compensation and move according to the preset trajectory to drive the erection device 40 to move to the target position. After the erection device 40 moves to the target position, the control device 50 drives the clamping assembly 42 to clamp the support part 22, and can first roughly adjust the position of the support part 22 through the clamping assembly 42, so that the control device 50 drives the collaborative robot 30 to move the support part 22 to rotate to the vertical support position, thereby completing the erection operation of one support part 22. At this time, the control device 50 controls the collaborative robot 30 to drive the erection device 40 to move to the position of the next support part 22, and perform the erection operation of the next support part 22 until all the support parts 22 on the pallet 20 are erected. Thereafter, the control device 50 controls the collaborative robot 30 to return to the starting position, and the control device 50 sends an in-position signal to the PLC controller. The PLC controller controls the conveying device 10 to work and transport the pallet 20 out of the current erection operation point so that the pallet 20 enters the next operation point, so as to facilitate the drive assembly to complete the installation of subsequent process components.

[0048] Thus, it can replace manual operation to realize automatic erection, which can not only improve the erection quality, but also reduce human labor intensity, improve labor efficiency and reduce labor costs. In addition, the visual camera 41 can realize the recognition of the positions of multiple pallets 20, which has great advantages in the face of production lines with many models or fast update and iteration frequencies. In addition, the automatic erection system 100 of the drive assembly has a compact structure, simple operation, and is easy to maintain and upgrade.

[0049] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the erecting device 40 may further include: a mounting seat 43 , the mounting seat 43 is fixed to the working end 31 of the collaborative robot 30 , and the visual camera 41 and the clamping assembly 42 are both fixed to the mounting seat 43 .

[0050] The mounting base 43 is fixed to the working end 31 of the collaborative robot 30. For example, the mounting base 43 and the working end 31 can be fixedly connected by bolts, or the mounting base 43 and the working end 31 can be fixedly connected by welding, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The mounting base 43 and the working end 31 can also be fixedly connected by other means, as long as the mounting base 43 is fixed to the working end 31 of the collaborative robot 30. The visual camera 41 and the clamping assembly 42 can both be fixed to the mounting base 43. For example, the visual camera 41, the clamping assembly 42 and the mounting base 43 can all be fixedly connected by welding, or the visual camera 41, the clamping assembly 42 and the mounting base 43 can all be fixedly connected by bolts, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The visual camera 41, the clamping assembly 42 and the mounting base 43 can also be fixedly connected by other means, as long as the visual camera 41 and the clamping assembly 42 are both fixedly connected to the mounting base 43. Therefore, the mounting seat 43 is fixed to the working end 31 of the collaborative robot 30, so that the visual camera 41 and the clamping assembly 42 are fixed to the working end 31 of the collaborative robot 30 through the mounting seat 43, so that the working end 31 of the collaborative robot 30 can identify the identification feature structure position information of the identification feature structure through the visual camera 41, and clamp the support part 22 through the clamping assembly 42 to rotate the support part 22 to the vertical support position, thereby realizing automatic erection, which can not only improve the erection quality, but also reduce the labor intensity of people.

[0051] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the clamping assembly 42 may include: an electric clamp 421, a first clamping portion 422 and a second clamping portion 423, the first clamping portion 422 and the second clamping portion 423 are both arranged on the electric clamp 421, the first clamping portion 422 and the second clamping portion 423 are opposite and spaced apart, and the electric clamp 421 is used to drive the first clamping portion 422 and the second clamping portion 423 to move closer to or away from each other, so that the first clamping portion 422 and the second clamping portion 423 clamp or release the support portion 22.

[0052] Among them, the first clamping part 422 and the second clamping part 423 can both be arranged on the electrical clamp 421. For example, the first clamping part 422, the second clamping part 423, and the electrical clamp 421 can be formed as one piece, or the first clamping part 422, the second clamping part 423 and the electrical clamp 421 can be fixedly connected by welding, or the first clamping part 422, the second clamping part 423 and the electrical clamp 421 can be fixedly connected by bolts, but the present invention is not limited to this. The first clamping part 422, the second clamping part 423 and the electrical clamp 421 can also be fixedly connected by other means, as long as the first clamping part 422 and the second clamping part 423 are both arranged on the electrical clamp 421.

[0053] The first clamping part 422 and the second clamping part 423 are arranged opposite to each other and spaced apart. The electric chuck 421 can be used to drive the first clamping part 422 and the second clamping part 423 to move closer to or away from each other, so that the first clamping part 422 and the second clamping part 423 clamp or release the support part 22. Specifically, when the electric chuck 421 drives the first clamping part 422 and the second clamping part 423 to move closer to each other, the first clamping part 422 and the second clamping part 423 clamp the support part 22, and the collaborative robot 30 moves to rotate the support part 22 to the vertical support position, thereby enabling automated erection. After the erection operation is completed, the electric chuck 421 drives the first clamping part 422 and the second clamping part 423 to move away from each other, so that the first clamping part 422 and the second clamping part 423 release the support part 22, thereby allowing the conveying device 10 to transport the pallet 20 to the next work point, so as to facilitate the drive assembly to complete the installation of subsequent process components. This process does not require manual operation to achieve automatic setting, which not only improves the setting quality but also reduces labor intensity.

[0054] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the first clamping portion 422 can be fixed with a pushing rod 424, the tray 20 is provided with a support seat 23, the support seat 23 has a mounting shaft 231, the support portion 22 is formed with a strip hole 221 extending along the length direction of the support portion 22, the mounting shaft 231 is passed through the strip hole 221, the support portion 22 also has a horizontal storage position, and the control device 50 is also configured to control the movement of the collaborative robot 30 when the support portion 22 is in the horizontal storage position so that the pushing rod 424 pushes the support portion 22 to move along the extension direction of the strip hole 221.

[0055] The first clamping portion 422 may be fixedly provided with a push rod 424. For example, the first clamping portion 422 and the push rod 424 may be fixedly connected by bolts, or by welding, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The first clamping portion 422 and the push rod 424 may also be fixedly connected by other means, as long as the first clamping portion 422 is fixedly provided with the push rod 424. The tray 20 may be provided with a support base 23. The support base 23 and the tray 20 may be fixedly connected by bolts, or by welding, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The support base 23 and the tray 20 may also be fixedly connected by other means, as long as the tray 20 is provided with a support base 23.

[0056] The support base 23 may have a mounting shaft 231. For example, the mounting shaft 231 and the support base 23 may be connected by a snap fit, or by a plug-in fit. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. The mounting shaft 231 and the support base 23 may be connected by other means, as long as the support base 23 has the mounting shaft 231. The support portion 22 is formed with a strip-shaped hole 221 extending along the length of the support portion 22. The shape and size of the strip-shaped hole 221 may be reasonably set and adjusted according to actual conditions, as long as the drive assembly automatic erection system 100 can function normally.

Specifically, before the erection operation is performed, the support portion 22 is in the storage position. When the erection operation is required, the control device 50 controls the collaborative robot 30 to drive the erection device 40 to move to the target position, and drives the push rod 424 of the first clamping portion 422 to push the support portion 22 to move along the extension direction of the strip hole 221, so as to adjust the position of the support portion 22 along the strip hole 221. After the mounting shaft 231 abuts against the end of the strip hole 221, when the collaborative robot 30 drives the erection device 40 to complete the erection operation, the support portion 22 can be prevented from moving downward, thereby improving the reliability of the support portion 22.

[0058] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, the support seat 23 has a first mounting wall 232 and a second mounting wall 233 that are opposite and spaced apart, the mounting shaft 231 is located between the first mounting wall 232 and the second mounting wall 233, and the two ends of the mounting shaft 231 are respectively assembled on the first mounting wall 232 and the second mounting wall 233, along the arrangement direction of the first mounting wall 232 and the second mounting wall 233, the support part 22 is located between the first mounting wall 232 and the second mounting wall 233, and a counterweight block 222 is provided at the end of the support part 22.

[0059] In which, the support seat 23 can have a first mounting wall 232 and a second mounting wall 233 that are relative and spaced apart, the mounting shaft 231 is located between the first mounting wall 232 and the second mounting wall 233, and the two ends of the mounting shaft 231 are respectively assembled with the first mounting wall 232 and the second mounting wall 233. For example, the two ends of the mounting shaft 231 can be assembled with the first mounting wall 232 and the second mounting wall 233 by plugging, and along the arrangement direction of the first mounting wall 232 and the second mounting wall 233, the support part 22 is located between the first mounting wall 232 and the second mounting wall 233, so that the support part 22 can rotate relative to the support seat 23, so that the support part 22 has a horizontal storage position and a vertical support position, and a counterweight block 222 is provided at the end of the support part 22. When the support part 22 is in the vertical support position, the counterweight block 222 is located between the first mounting wall 232 and the second mounting wall 233, which is conducive to maintaining the stability of the support part 22, thereby enabling the support part 22 to stand firmly and achieve the supporting function.

[0060] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the push rod 424 includes: a rod body 425 and a shift block 426. The rod body 425 is constructed as an elastic rod. The shift block 426 is fixed to the elastic rod. When the push rod 424 pushes the support part 22, the shift block 426 contacts the support part 22.

[0061] The push rod 424 may include a rod body 425 and a shift block 426. The rod body 425 may be configured as an elastic rod, for example, a spring rod, a superelastic rod, or other elastic rod. The shift block 426 is fixed to the elastic rod. For example, the shift block 426 and the elastic rod may be integrally formed, or the shift block 426 and the elastic rod may be connected by bonding. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. The shift block 426 and the elastic rod may also be connected by other means, as long as the shift block 426 is fixed to the elastic rod.

[0062] When the push rod 424 pushes the support portion 22, the shift block 426 contacts the support portion 22, so that the push rod 424 can push the support portion 22 to move along the extending direction of the strip hole 221, thereby adjusting the position of the support portion 22 along the strip hole 221. In addition, because the rod body 425 is configured as an elastic rod, the rod body 425 can be deformed when the push rod 424 pushes the support portion 22, which can reduce the risk of the shift block 426 damaging the support portion 22.

[0063] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2As shown, the first clamping portion 422 can be fixedly provided with a mounting block 427. For example, the mounting block 427 and the first clamping portion 422 can be integrally formed, or the mounting block 427 and the first clamping portion 422 can be connected by bonding, or the mounting block 427 and the first clamping portion 422 can be connected by welding, but the application is not limited to this. The mounting block 427 and the first clamping portion 422 can also be connected by other means, as long as the first clamping portion 422 is fixedly provided with the mounting block 427. The mounting block 427 is fixedly provided with the push rod 424. For example, the mounting block 427 and the push rod 424 can be connected by bonding, or the mounting block 427 and the push rod 424 can be connected by bolts, but the application is not limited to this. The mounting block 427 and the push rod 424 can also be connected by other means, as long as the mounting block 427 is fixedly provided with the push rod 424. In this way, the push rod 424 can be indirectly connected with the first clamping portion 422 through the mounting block 427. When the clamping assembly 42 approaches the support portion 22, the push rod 424 can adjust the position of the support portion 22 in advance before the first clamping portion 422 performs the prying operation, thereby improving the working efficiency of the automatic prying system 100 of the driving assembly.

[0064] According to some embodiments of the application, as shown in Figure 2 As shown, the surface of the first clamping portion 422 facing the second clamping portion 423 is fixedly provided with a first support block 428, and the surface of the second clamping portion 423 facing the first clamping portion 422 is fixedly provided with a second support block 429. The first support block 428 and the second support block 429 are oppositely arranged. When the clamping assembly 42 clamps the support portion 22, the first support block 428 and the second support block 429 are in abutment with the support portion 22.

[0065] The surface of the first clamping portion 422 facing the second clamping portion 423 is fixedly provided with a first support block 428. For example, the first clamping portion 422 and the first support block 428 can be integrally formed, or the first clamping portion 422 and the first support block 428 can be fixedly connected by bolts, or the first clamping portion 422 and the first support block 428 can be fixedly connected by welding, but the application is not limited to this. The first clamping portion 422 and the first support block 428 can also be fixedly connected by other means, as long as the surface of the first clamping portion 422 facing the second clamping portion 423 is fixedly provided with the first support block 428.

[0066] A second support block 429 is fixedly provided on the surface of the second clamping portion 423 facing the first clamping portion 422. For example, the second clamping portion 423 and the second support block 429 can be integrally formed, or the second clamping portion 423 and the second support block 429 can be fixedly connected by bolts, or the second clamping portion 423 and the second support block 429 can be fixedly connected by welding, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The second clamping portion 423 and the second support block 429 can also be fixedly connected by other means, as long as the second support block 429 is fixedly provided on the surface of the second clamping portion 423 facing the first clamping portion 422.

[0067] The first support block 428 and the second support block 429 are arranged opposite to each other. When the clamping assembly 42 clamps the support part 22, the first support block 428 and the second support block 429 both abut against the support part 22, so that the clamping assembly 42 can clamp the support part 22 more firmly, reducing the risk of the support part 22 slipping from the clamping assembly 42, thereby facilitating the movement of the collaborative robot 30 to rotate the support part 22 to the vertical support position, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the drive assembly automatic erection system 100.

[0068] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the drive assembly automatic erection system 100 may further include a mounting post 11. The mounting post 11 may be located on one side of the conveyor 10, enabling the collaborative robot 30 to approach the pallet 20 on the conveyor 10, thereby facilitating the collaborative robot 30 to operate the support portion 22 on the pallet 20. The collaborative robot 30 is fixed to the upper end of the mounting post 11. For example, the collaborative robot 30 and the mounting post 11 may be fixedly connected by bolts or threads, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The collaborative robot 30 and the mounting post 11 may also be fixedly connected by other means, as long as the collaborative robot 30 is fixed to the upper end of the mounting post 11. This arrangement helps to raise the position of the collaborative robot 30, thereby facilitating the collaborative robot 30's visual camera 41 to identify the position information of the identification feature structure on the pallet 20 and facilitating the collaborative robot 30's human clamping assembly 42 to operate the support portion 22 on the pallet 20, thereby improving the operating efficiency of the drive assembly automatic erection system 100.

[0069] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, the tray 20 may further include a mounting plate 24 , the mounting plate 24 is provided with a buffer 241 , and the support portion 22 further has a horizontal storage position. When the support portion 22 rotates toward the horizontal storage position, the buffer 241 is suitable for supporting the support portion 22 .

[0070] The tray 20 may further include a mounting plate 24, and the mounting plate 24 may be provided with a buffer 241. For example, the mounting plate 24 and the buffer 241 may be connected by threads, or the mounting plate 24 and the buffer 241 may be connected by snap-fitting. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the mounting plate 24 and the buffer 241 may also be connected by other means, as long as the mounting plate 24 includes the buffer 241. The outer surface of the buffer 241 may be coated with a material having a buffering effect, such as rubber or foam, and may provide a buffering and protective effect on the support portion 22. The support portion 22 also has a horizontal storage position. When the support portion 22 is rotated toward the horizontal storage position, the buffer 241 is suitable for supporting the support portion 22, and the buffer 241 may also provide a buffering and protective effect on the support portion 22, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the support portion 22 and thereby increasing the service life of the support portion 22. When the support portion 22 is in the horizontal storage position, the buffer 241 may support the corresponding support portion 22.

[0071] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, the mounting plate 24 can be formed with a visual feature hole 242, and the visual feature hole 242 and the mounting plate 24 can be integrally formed. The visual feature hole 242 can be constructed as an identification feature structure, and the identification feature structure can be identified by the visual camera 41. The mounting plate 24 is photographed by the visual camera 41 to identify the identification feature structure position information of the identification feature structure. After precise calculation by the visual system of the visual camera 41, the identification feature structure position information can be fed back to the control device 50, so that the control device 50 controls the collaborative robot 30 to drive the erection device 40 to move to the target position according to the identification feature structure position information, and drives the clamping assembly 42 to clamp the support part 22, and drives the collaborative robot 30 to move so that the support part 22 is rotated to the vertical support position to perform the erection work.

[0072] Therefore, it is possible to replace manual operation to realize automatic lifting, which not only improves the lifting quality, but also reduces the labor intensity of people. At the same time, it can release people from single repetitive work to engage in work with higher added value, so as to improve labor efficiency and thus reduce labor costs. In addition, by identifying the position information of the recognition feature structure through the visual camera 41, the position of multiple pallets 20 can be identified, which has great advantages in the face of production lines with many models or fast update and iteration frequencies, and the drive assembly automatic lifting system 100 has a compact structure, simple operation, and is easy to maintain and upgrade.
