The first flip member 421 drives the product to flip from the first state to the second state; when the flow tooling 30 is transmitted to the feeding position, the first flip member 421 provides the product to the flow tooling 30, and the flow tooling 30 drives the product to be transmitted to the assembly position; the assembly mechanism 50 can now automatically assemble the material into the product On; then, under the transmission of the conveyor line 20, the product is driven to the unloading position through the flow tooling 30; then the second flip piece 621 of the unloading flipping mechanism 62 is flipped to the third state, and the product on the flow tooling 30 is removed by the second flip piece 621; the second flip piece 621 drives the product to flip from the third state to the fourth state, and then the product on the second flip piece 621 is removed by the unloading mechanism 61 to complete the automatic loading, assembly and unloading of the product, replacing the manual assembly method, thereby effectively improving production efficiency.

[0103] In practical applications, one or at least two fixed clamping jaws 33 may be provided, and the specific number may be determined according to the size of the product.

[0104] Optionally, see Figure 4 In one embodiment of the present invention, the flow tooling 30 is provided with at least two profiling grooves 30 a , and the at least two profiling grooves 30 a are spaced apart along the length direction of the flow tooling 30 .

[0105] With such an arrangement, at least two products can be placed in at least two contoured slots 30a of the same flow tooling 30, respectively, so that at least two products can be transported at one time through the flow tooling 30, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0108] With such an arrangement, when the flow tooling 30 is transferred to the first assembly position under the operation of the conveyor line 20, the adhesive backing of the light guide column is attached to the product through the first assembly structure 51 and the release paper on the adhesive backing of the light guide column is torn off; then, the flow tooling 30 is transferred to the second assembly position under the operation of the conveyor line 20, and the annular foam is attached to the product through the second assembly structure 52 and the release paper on the annular foam is torn off; then, the flow tooling 30 is transferred to the third assembly position under the operation of the conveyor line 20, and the light guide column is assembled to the product through the third assembly structure 53, and the light guide column is pressure-maintained; then, the flow tooling 30 is transferred to the fourth assembly position under the operation of the conveyor line 20, and the C-shaped foam is attached to the product through the fourth assembly structure 54 and the release paper on the C-shaped foam is torn off. In this way, the automatic assembly process of the product can be completed without the need for manual intervention throughout the process, which can effectively improve work efficiency.

[0110] With such an arrangement, when the flow tooling 30 is transferred to the first assembly position under the operation of the conveyor line 20, the light guide column adhesive is provided by the first feeder 511, and the light guide column adhesive is peeled off, and then the light guide column adhesive in the first feeder 511 is sucked by the first suction nozzle 512 and attached to the product, and at the same time, the release paper on the light guide column adhesive is torn off by the first suction nozzle 512. In this way, the light guide column adhesive can be attached to the product and the release paper on the light guide column adhesive can be torn off, and no manual intervention is required throughout the process.

It can detect whether the position of the annular foam attached to the product is correct, and can also detect whether the release paper on the annular foam is torn off. When the product is detected to be a defective product, the subsequent assembly steps will no longer be performed on the product.

[0128] It should be noted that the visual photography structure on the third assembly structure 53 can also play a role in inspecting the product. It can detect whether the position of the light guide column assembled on the product is correct. When the product is detected to be defective, the subsequent assembly steps will no longer be performed on the product.

In this way, the C-type foam can be attached to the product and the release paper on the C-type foam can be torn off, and no manual intervention is required throughout the process.

[0137] As some examples, the fourth assembly structure 54 may further include a visual photography structure to guide the fourth suction nozzle 542 to suck the C-type foam in the fourth feeder 541 and attach it to the product to ensure assembly accuracy.

[0138] It should be noted that the visual photography structure on the fourth assembly structure 54 can also play a role in inspecting the product. It can detect whether the position of the C-type foam attached to the product is correct, and can also detect whether the release paper on the C-type foam is torn off. When the product is detected to be a defective product, the subsequent assembly steps will no longer be performed on the product. Instead, the flow tooling 30 with the defective product will be directly transported to the subsequent waste buffer mechanism through the conveyor line 20.

[0139] As some examples, the fourth assembly structure 54 may further include a third release paper collecting mechanism 546. After the release paper on the C-type foam is torn off by the second clamping jaw 543, the release paper may be placed in the third release paper collecting mechanism 546 for automatic collection.

[0145] In this way, before assembling the product, a QR code is first affixed to the product through the coding mechanism 70 to bind each product. In this way, when a defective product appears in the subsequent assembly process, the product can be accurately marked. When the product is detected to be a defective product, the product is marked as a defective product, and the subsequent assembly steps are no longer performed on the product. Instead, the flow tooling 30 with the defective product is directly conveyed to the subsequent waste buffer mechanism through the conveyor line 20.

[0146] Optionally, see Figure 6 In one embodiment of the present invention, the code sticking mechanism 70 includes a fifth feeder 71, a fifth suction nozzle 72 and a code scanning mechanism 73. The fifth feeder 71 is used to provide a QR code, the fifth suction nozzle 72 is used to absorb the QR code and stick it on the product, and the code scanning mechanism 73 is used to scan the QR code on the product.

[0148] As some examples, the code sticking mechanism 70 may further include a visual camera structure to guide the fifth suction nozzle 72 to suck the QR code in the fifth feeder 71 and stick it on the product to ensure assembly accuracy.

[0149] It should be noted that the visual camera structure on the code-sticking structure can also play a role in inspecting the product. It can detect whether the position of the QR code on the product is correct. When the product is detected to be defective, the subsequent assembly steps will no longer be performed on the product.

The eighth positioning mechanism 74 includes an eighth stop member. The eighth stop member can move toward or away from the top of the conveyor line 20 to stop the flow tooling 30 at the coding position or release the flow tooling 30.

[0151] In this way, in the coding step, the eighth stopper is first moved toward the top of the conveyor line 20 to stop the flow tooling 30 at the coding position, and then the QR code in the fifth feeder 71 is sucked by the fifth suction nozzle 72 and attached to the product. Then, the eighth stopper is moved away from the top of the conveyor line 20 to release the flow tooling 30, so that the flow tooling 30 is transferred to the next process under the operation of the conveyor line 20.

[0153] With such an arrangement, after the product is assembled, the detection mechanism 80 can be used to detect whether the light guide column on the product is assembled in place. When the product is detected to be defective, the product on the flow tooling 30 is transported to the waste buffer mechanism 110 through the waste transport mechanism 90.

[0154] It should be noted that when at least two products are placed on the flow tooling 30, once at least one product on the flow revolution is a defective product, all the products on the flow tooling 30 will be simultaneously transported to the waste buffer mechanism 110 through the waste conveying mechanism 90, until there are defective products in the subsequent flow tooling 30, the defective products in the subsequent flow tooling 30 can be transported to the waste buffer mechanism 110 through the waste conveying mechanism 90, and the good products on the waste buffer mechanism 110 can be added to the flow tooling 30, so that the flow tooling 30 flowing to the next process is either full of products or an empty flow tooling 30.

[0156] With such an arrangement, the flipping drive mechanism 123 and the flipping member 1231 arranged on the flipping drive mechanism 123 can be driven to move in three-dimensional space under the action of the horizontal drive mechanism 121 and the lifting drive mechanism 122, so that the flipping member 1231 can absorb the product onto the flow tooling 30 at the loading position, or remove the product from the flow tooling 30 at the unloading position; at the same time, the flipping drive mechanism 123 can smoothly drive the flipping member 1231 to switch between the first state and the second state, or between the third state and the fourth state.

[0157] As some examples, the flipping mechanism 120 may include a flipping motor, a driving wheel, a transmission belt, a driven wheel and a transmission shaft. The flipping mechanism 120 drives the driving wheel to rotate, and the rotation of the driving wheel drives the transmission belt to rotate, and the rotation of the transmission belt drives the driven wheel to rotate, and then drives the transmission shaft to rotate, and the flipping member 1231 can be flipped under the rotation of the transmission shaft.

[0158] Optionally, see Figure 5 、 Figure 17 In one embodiment of the present invention, the assembly equipment 100 further includes a reflow line 130, a first tooling inverting mechanism 140, and a second tooling inverting mechanism 150; the reflow line 130 is located on one side of the conveyor line 20, and the running direction of the reflow line 130 is opposite to the running direction of the conveyor line 20; the first tooling inverting mechanism 140 is located between the unloading position of the reflow line 130 and the loading position of the conveyor line 20, and is used to drive the flow tooling 30 from the unloading position of the reflow line 130 to the loading position of the conveyor line 20; the second tooling inverting mechanism 150 is located between the unloading position of the conveyor line 20 and the loading position of the reflow line 130, and is used to drive the flow tooling 30 from the unloading position of the conveyor line 20 to the loading position of the reflow line 130.

[0159] With such arrangement, after all products on the flow fixture 30 in the unloading mechanism 61 are removed by the unloading assembly 60, the second fixture reversing mechanism 150 can be used to drive the flow fixture 30 to move from the unloading position of the conveyor line 20 to the loading position of the return line 130, and then the flow fixture 30 can be automatically returned to one end of the loading position close to the conveyor line 20 under the operation of the return line 130, and then the second fixture reversing mechanism 150 can be used to drive the flow fixture 30 from the unloading position of the return line 130 to the loading position of the conveyor line 20, and the cycle can be repeated in sequence, so that the flow fixture 30 can be automatically returned without manual processing, which can further improve work efficiency.
