[0050] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below by referring to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as a limitation of the present application.

[0051] like Figures 1 to 20 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a 3C product assembly system, which includes a workbench 10, a workpiece assembly unit 20, and a control unit 30. The workbench 10 is equipped with a carrier frame 11 for supporting workpieces to be assembled. The workpiece assembly unit 20 is disposed on the workbench 10 and is used to install mating workpieces onto the workpieces to be assembled on the carrier frame 11. The control unit 30 and the workpiece assembly unit 20 are electrically connected. The control unit 30 includes a computing component and a controller. The computing component simulates the operation of the workpiece assembly unit 20, and the controller controls the operation of the workpiece assembly unit 20 according to the operating process in the computing component.

[0052] In this embodiment, the computing component can be a central processing unit, a neural network processor, an industrial control computer, or other components. The operator can use digital twin technology to build a simulated assembly environment in the computing component, test and train the workpiece assembly unit 20 in the simulated assembly environment, and transmit the entire training process or the running program of the workpiece assembly unit 20 to the controller. The controller can then control the workpiece assembly unit 20 to assemble the paired workpieces according to the electrical signal. In other words, the running process of the workpiece assembly unit 20 in the simulated assembly environment can be synchronously migrated to the real assembly environment. This can reduce the testing and training process of the workpiece assembly unit 20 in the real environment, help reduce the wear and tear on the product during the debugging and training process of the workpiece assembly unit 20, and improve the assembly accuracy of the workpiece assembly unit 20 through training, thereby helping to improve the assembly efficiency of the workpiece.

[0053] It should be noted that the simulated assembly environment in the computational component is modeled and imported by the operator. The simulated assembly environment in the computational component has the same components as the real assembly environment, achieving a 1:1 consistency. This ensures that the simulated environment is exactly the same as the real assembly environment, including the material, mass, and center of gravity of the components. This guarantees the working accuracy and efficiency of the workpiece assembly unit 20 after migration.

[0054] Furthermore, the control unit 30 also includes a display 31, which is used to display the running progress of the workpiece assembly unit 20 to the operator, so that the operator can view the running progress of the workpiece assembly unit 20 in the simulated assembly environment in real time, which can facilitate the operator to make adjustments.

In the above process, the mechanical arm 21 can continuously and stably work, can accurately and repeatedly perform the work, which helps to reduce errors and improve product quality.

[0058] Further, the vision assembly 24 can be arranged at the front side of the picking assembly 23, and the vision assembly 24 can comprise an image sensor electrically connected with the controller, which can be a camera, a lens or the like. The image sensor can be arranged towards the picking assembly 23 to facilitate the shooting of the picking process of the paired workpiece and the posture of the paired workpiece.

[0059] For example, the vision assembly 24 can be used to shoot the picking process of the paired workpiece to determine whether the paired workpiece is picked, and can also be used to shoot to identify the installation position of the paired workpiece on the workpiece to be assembled to improve the assembly precision and efficiency, and can even be used to shoot the paired workpiece on the workpiece to be assembled to determine whether the paired workpiece is successfully installed.

[0060] Further, the executor 22 further comprises a tactile assembly, which can be used to detect the installation process of the workpiece to be assembled. The tactile assembly can comprise a tactile sensor electrically connected with the controller, which can be a force-torque sensor, a pressure sensor or a contact sensor.

[0064] In the assembly process of the flexible flat cable, the controller can control the mechanical arm 21 to move above the flexible flat cable material tray. The vision assembly 24 can identify and obtain the depth image of the flexible flat cable material tray and transmit the depth image to the controller. The controller can use a target detection algorithm to obtain the position of the flexible flat cable in the flexible flat cable material tray, and then convert the pixel coordinates to the coordinates of the mechanical arm 21 through hand-eye calibration. Then the mechanical arm 21 sucks the flexible flat cable through the first suction head 41 in sequence, and places the flexible flat cable in the first slot 4211 to accurately adjust the posture of the flexible flat cable, so as to improve the installation precision of the flexible flat cable.

The distance between the first side and the third side corresponds to the length of the flexible flat cable, and the distance between the second side and the fourth side is greater than the width of the flexible flat cable. The first offset member 422 can move from the second side to the fourth side to push the flexible flat cable to move in the first slot 4211, so that the flexible flat cable abuts against the fourth side, thereby accurately determining the suction position of the first suction head 41 when the first suction head 41 picks up the flexible flat cable from the first slot 4211, and the installation precision of the flexible flat cable can be improved.

[0066] Further, the first adjusting assembly 42 further comprises a first driver 423, which can be a gas cylinder, a motor or a manual screw rod, etc. The first driver 423 is fixedly installed on the first positioning seat 421, and the output end of the first driver 423 is connected to the first offset member 422 to drive the first offset member 422 to move in the first slot 4211.

[0070] In some embodiments, the vision assembly 24 can also capture a visual image of the flexible flat cable on the first suction head 41, and the offset rotation angle of the flexible flat cable can be obtained. The posture of the flexible flat cable can be adjusted by adjusting the robot arm 21 or by adjusting the posture of the flexible flat cable through the first adjusting assembly 42, so as to realize accurate calibration of the installation posture of the flexible flat cable, thereby further improving the installation accuracy of the flexible flat cable. In addition, the tactile assembly can also monitor the force gradient change during the installation of the flexible flat cable, and then the controller can determine whether the flexible flat cable is successfully installed according to the force gradient change.
