A lowering cylinder 221, a horizontal plate 222, and a first pressing member 223, a second pressing member 224 and a third pressing member 225 arranged below the horizontal plate 222, and a hollow portion 226 is arranged on the horizontal plate 222; the adsorption component 23 includes a mounting portion 231 and a bending portion 232, the bending portion 232 passes through the hollow portion 226, and an adsorption head 233 is arranged at the end of the bending portion 232; the pushing block component 24 includes a second lifting cylinder 241, a first horizontal cylinder 242 and a pushing block 243, the second lifting component 241 drives the first horizontal cylinder 242 to rise and fall, and the first horizontal cylinder 242 drives the pushing block 243 to approach or move away from the front cover 3; the pushing block 243 and the adsorption head 233 cooperate to remove the blockage 4 of the front cover 3.

[0046] For details, see Figure 2 , Figure 2It is a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of the computer case when the upper cover is removed. The front cover 3 is clamped together with the case shell 32 by three clips 31. When removing the front cover, it is necessary to press down the three clips 31 at the same time and move the front cover 3 away from the case shell 32 to remove the front cover 3. At present, the actions of pressing the buckle and removing the front cover 3 at the same time require manual cooperation, which affects the overall automation level of computer case assembly. For this reason, the first pressing member 223, the second pressing member 224 and the third pressing member 225 are all designed as bending plates, and an L-shaped bend 2231 is set at the end of the bending plate. The buckle pressing assembly 22 presses down the buckle 31 of the front cover 3. The three L-shaped bends 2231 are at the same height and can press down the three buckles 31 at the same time; at the same time, the clamping jaw assembly 25 includes a clamping finger cylinder 251 and a first L-shaped clamping jaw 252 and a second L-shaped clamping jaw 253 driven by the clamping finger cylinder 251. The clamping finger cylinder 251 drives the first L-shaped clamping jaw 252 and the second L-shaped clamping jaw 253 to clamp the two ends of the front cover 3. The clamping jaw assembly 25 clamps the two ends of the front cover 3 and moves away from the clamping buckle assembly 22, so that the front cover 3 is separated from the chassis shell 32.

[0047] See also Figure 1 The computer case is placed in the carrier 5, and the carrier 5 is also provided with a front cover accommodating cavity 51 and a blocking material recovery container 52. The front cover 3 clamped by the first L-shaped clamping jaw 252 and the second L-shaped clamping jaw 253 is placed in the front cover accommodating cavity 51 by moving the module 1. Before this, the blocking material 4 installed on the front cover 3 needs to be removed so that after the front cover 3 is installed later, a clearance is provided at the position where the blocking material 4 is located, such as exposing the optical drive; when the blocking material 4 is removed, the first horizontal cylinder 242 drives the pushing block 243 to push the blocking material 4 out, and the pushed out blocking material 4 is adsorbed by the adsorption head 233, so that the blocking material 4 is transferred to the blocking material recovery container 52 in the adsorbed state, so that the blocking material 4 falls off. To other parts and affect the normal assembly of the computer case; specifically, the bending portion 232 includes a vertical plate 2321, a first L-shaped bending plate 2322 and a second L-shaped bending plate 2323, the horizontal portion 2324 of the second L-shaped bending plate 2323 is aligned with the blocking material 4, the adsorption head 233 is installed at the end of the horizontal portion 2324, and the vertical plate 2321 passes through the hollow portion 226; the second lifting cylinder 241 and the first horizontal cylinder 242 cooperate to drive the push block 243 to align with the blocking material 4, and the blocking material 4 is adsorbed on the adsorption head 233 through the cooperation of the push block 243 and the adsorption head 233, and then the blocking material 4 is placed in the blocking material recovery container 52 through the moving module 1.

[0048] Through this embodiment, the front cover 3 is fully automatically removed and the blocking material 4 is removed, and the blocking material 4 and the front cover 3 are placed in the blocking material recovery container 52 and the front cover accommodating cavity 51 respectively, with high efficiency and no need for manual assistance.

[0049] Example 2

[0050] Ginseng Figure 6-Figure 9 As shown, this embodiment discloses a specific implementation method of a method for removing the front cover of a computer case.

[0051] How to remove the front cover of the computer case, see Figure 6-Figure 9 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0052] Step S1: Remove the upper cover of the chassis to expose the buckle; for details, see Figures 6 to 8 , the removal of the upper cover 6 of the chassis and the removal of the front cover 3 are not carried out at the same station. The removal of the upper cover 6 of the chassis is completed by the suction cup assembly 7, which includes a first bracket 71, a rotating motor 72, a second bracket 73 and a suction cup 74. The first bracket 71 rises and falls along the first Z-axis module 75, and the rotating motor 72 drives the suction cup 74 to rotate through the second bracket 73; a plurality of vertical blocks 76 are arranged on one side of the suction cup 74; the suction cup 74 sucks the top surface 61 of the upper cover 6, and the vertical block 76 abuts against the side surface 62 of the upper cover 6. The suction cup 74 and the vertical block 76 constitute an L-shaped suction space, which can directly adsorb and abut against the frame formed by the top surface 61 and the side surface 62 of the upper cover 6; see Figure 8 The carrier 5 includes an upper space 53 and a lower space 54, the chassis is placed in the upper space 53, the suction cup 74 sucks up the upper cover 6 and places the upper cover 6 in the lower space 54, and a plurality of support blocks 55 for supporting the upper cover 6 are arranged in the lower space 54; when the sucked upper cover 6 is placed in the lower space 54, the rotating motor 72 drives the sucked upper cover 6 to rotate 90°, and the upper cover 6 is placed in the lower space 54, specifically, inserted into the space 56 at the top of the support block 55; due to the interference between the suction cup assembly 7 and the carrier 5, the suction cup assembly 7 cannot completely insert the entire upper cover 6 into the space 56. In order to completely insert the upper cover 6 into the space 56, a first telescopic cylinder 731 and a second telescopic cylinder 732 are arranged on the second bracket 73, the first telescopic cylinder 731 drives the first telescopic rod 733, and the second telescopic cylinder 732 drives the first telescopic rod 734. The second telescopic cylinder 732 drives the second telescopic rod 734; a first L-shaped push rod 735 is arranged at the end of the first telescopic rod 733, and the first L-shaped push rod 735 bypasses the second bracket 73, so that the end of the first L-shaped push rod 735 is aligned with the upper cover 6, and a second L-shaped push rod 736 is arranged at the end of the second telescopic rod 734, and the second L-shaped push rod 736 bypasses the second bracket 73, so that the end of the second L-shaped push rod 736 is aligned with the upper cover 6; the first X-axis module 77 drives a part of the upper cover 6 to be inserted into the lower space 54, and the first L-shaped push rod 735 and the second L-shaped push rod 736 drive the remaining part of the upper cover 6 to be inserted into the lower space 54, so that the entire upper cover 6 is inserted into the space 56 of the lower space 54, so that the removed upper cover 6 is moved together with the carrier 5, so that the upper cover 6 can be reinstalled in the subsequent process.

[0053] Step S2: the buckle pressing assembly 22 presses down the buckle 31 of the front cover 3, the clamping jaw assembly 25 clamps the two ends of the front cover 3 and moves away from the buckle pressing assembly 22, so that the front cover 3 is removed; specifically, the three L-shaped bends 2231 are at the same height, and the three buckles 31 can be pressed down at the same time. At the same time, the clamping jaw assembly 25 clamps the two ends of the front cover 3 and moves away from the buckle pressing assembly 22, so that the front cover 3 is separated from the chassis shell 32.

[0054] Step S3: The first horizontal cylinder 242 drives the pushing block 243 to push out the blocking material 4, and the blocked material 4 pushed out is adsorbed by the adsorption head 233; specifically, the purpose of this step is to transfer the blocking material 4 to the blocking material recovery container 52 in the adsorbed state, so that the blocking material 4 will not fall to other parts and affect the normal assembly of the computer case.

[0055] Step S4: The mobile module drives the front cover removal assembly to the blocking material recovery station and the front cover recovery station. Specifically, a blocking material recovery container 52 is set at the blocking material recovery station, and a front cover accommodating chamber 51 is set at the front cover recovery station. Through this embodiment, the front cover 3 is fully automatically removed and the blocking material 4 is removed, and the blocking material 4 and the front cover 3 are placed in the blocking material recovery container 52 and the front cover accommodating chamber 51 respectively, which is highly efficient and does not require manual assistance.

[0056] The method for removing the front cover of a computer case in Example 2 adopts the device for removing the front cover of a computer case in Example 1. For the parts in Example 2 that are the same as those in Example 1, please refer to Example 1 and will not be repeated here.
