[0044] See also Figure 2 As shown, the product feeding mechanism 40 includes a feeding track 41 embedded in the machine 30, a transmission belt 42 arranged on the inner side of the feeding track 41, a driving motor 43 drivingly connected to the transmission belt 42, and a product fixture 44 connected to the transmission belt 42; a limit block 441 is fixedly provided on the upper end surface of the product fixture 44, and a first accommodating portion 442 and a second accommodating portion 443 arranged in parallel are formed between the limit blocks 441, wherein the first accommodating portion 442 is used to accommodate the product 10, and the second accommodating portion 443 is used to accommodate the substrate 20.

[0046] The material picking assembly 54 includes a connecting plate 55 fixed to the lower end of the first lifting module 53, and a material picking module 56 arranged on the connecting plate 55.

A buffer 568 is provided on one side of the pneumatic clamping jaw 563 facing the connecting plate 55 to prevent the pneumatic clamping jaw 563 from colliding with the connecting plate 55 and causing damage.

[0048] A stopper 21 for fixing the product 10 is provided on the base plate 20. When the product 10 is placed vertically into the base plate 20, the product 10 will interfere with the stopper 21, resulting in failure to assemble successfully. Figure 6 As shown, the pneumatic clamp 563 clamps the product 10, pushes the transmission end of the cylinder 561 to extend along direction A, drives the flip member 562 and the pneumatic clamp 563 to flip along direction B, so that the product 10 tilts downward, and the product 10 enters the substrate 20 obliquely to avoid the limit part 21.

[0051] See also Figure 8 As shown, a product clamping mechanism 70 is provided on the side of the product feeding mechanism 40, and the product clamping mechanism 70 includes a linear drive module 71 arranged parallel to the feeding track 41, a sliding seat 72 assembled on the linear drive module 71, a pressing module 73 fixed to the side of the sliding seat 72 facing the feeding track 41, and a pressing block 74 drivingly connected to the pressing module 73.

At the same time, the pressing block 74 can press the product 10 to prevent the product 10 from loosening during the screw locking process to affect the screw locking quality, thereby further improving the assembly accuracy.

[0052] Compared with the prior art, the automatic plate loading into the lower cover and substrate locking equipment involved in the present invention is provided with a plate loading mechanism and a substrate locking mechanism. The plate loading mechanism assembles the product onto the substrate, and the substrate locking mechanism locks the screws to lock the substrate and the product.

It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and the present invention is also intended to include these modifications and modifications.
