[0044] A positioning assembly, used for positioning the electrical box assembly 11 and the panel 12, so that the locking hole 121 of the electrical box assembly 11 and the locking hole 121 of the panel 12 have at least a partial overlap in axial projection;

[0045] A robot 2 is arranged on one side of the positioning assembly;

[0046] An automatic screw driving device 3 connected to the robot 2;

The assembly equipment includes a positioning component, a robot 2, an automatic screw-driving device 3 and a visual correction component 4; the positioning component of the present embodiment is used to position the electrical box component 11 and the panel 12 so that the axial projections of the locking hole 121 of the electrical box component 11 and the locking hole 121 of the panel 12 at least partially overlap; the robot 2 is arranged on one side of the positioning component; the automatic screw-driving device 3 is connected to the robot 2; the visual correction component 4 is arranged on the automatic screw-driving device 3 and is connected to the robot 2 for obtaining the locking hole 121 on the panel 12 and the locking hole 121 on the electrical box component 11. The offset data of the locking hole 121 is obtained and transmitted to the robot 2, so that the robot 2 can adjust the angle between the nailing head 31 of the automatic screw driving device 3 and the axis of the locking hole 121 according to the offset data; in this embodiment, by connecting the visual correction component 4 to the robot 2, the robot 2 can adjust the angle between the nailing head 31 and the axis of the locking hole 121 according to the offset data. When the axis of the locking hole 121 of the electrical box component 11 and the axis of the locking hole 121 of the panel 12 are offset, the robot 2 adjusts the nailing head 31 and the axis of the locking hole 121 to a suitable angle, ensuring that when the axis of the locking hole 121 of the electrical box component 11 and the axis of the locking hole 121 of the panel 12 are offset, the automatic screw driving device 3 can also complete the screwing, thereby improving the performance of the assembly equipment.

[0049] The robot 2 of this embodiment may be a standard robot currently available on the market.

[0050] The visual correction component 4 of this embodiment can scan the position, size, and aperture of the locking hole 121 of the electrical box 111, the locking hole 121 of the middle partition 112, and the locking hole 121 of the panel 12, and the analyzer can analyze the scanned data, then generate offset data, and output the offset data to the robot 2.

[0051] In some embodiments, the electrical box assembly 11 includes an electrical box 111 and a middle partition 112, and both the electrical box 111 and the middle partition 112 have a locking hole 121, and the axes of the locking holes 121 of the two are collinear;

Before screwing, the electrical box 111 and the middle partition 112 can be assembled, or the two can be bonded and fixed by screwing. It should be noted that the screws are simultaneously provided in the locking holes 121 of the electrical box 111, the locking holes 121 of the middle partition 112, and the locking holes 121 of the panel 12, so that the three are locked at the same time, achieving the effect of one nail piercing three holes.

[0054] Of course, the middle partition 112 can also be fixed between the electrical box 111 and the panel 12 by other fixing devices, and then the effect of one nail through three holes can be achieved by screwing.

[0055] In some embodiments, the visual correction component 4 includes a connected visual camera and a host analyzer, the visual camera faces the panel 12, and the host analyzer is connected to the robot 2.

The host analyzer is used to analyze the scanned data and then generate offset data and output the offset data to the robot 2, so that the robot 2 can adjust the angle between the nail head 31 and the axis of the locking hole 121 according to the offset data. When the axis of the locking hole 121 of the electrical box assembly 11 and the axis of the locking hole 121 of the panel 12 are offset, the robot 2 adjusts the nail head 31 and the axis of the locking hole 121 to a suitable angle to ensure that when the axis of the locking hole 121 of the electrical box assembly 11 and the axis of the locking hole 121 of the panel 12 are offset, the automatic screw driving device 3 can also complete the screw driving, thereby improving the performance of the assembly equipment.

When the clamping module 62 clamps the electrical box assembly 11, the axial projections of the locking hole 121 of the electrical box assembly 11 and the locking hole 121 of the panel 12 at least partially overlap.

[0063] In this embodiment, the clamping module 62 clamps the electrical box assembly 11 so that the axial projections of the locking hole 121 of the electrical box assembly 11 and the locking hole 121 of the panel 12 at least partially overlap.

[0064] In some embodiments, the clamping module 62 includes two clamping jaws 621 that can move relatively close to or away from each other, and the direction in which the two clamping jaws 621 move relatively close to or away from each other is perpendicular to the axis of the locking hole 121 of the electrical box assembly 11 and parallel to the top of the support platform 5, thereby ensuring that the axial projections of the locking hole 121 of the electrical box assembly 11 and the locking hole 121 of the panel 12 at least partially overlap.

[0068] In some embodiments, the assembly equipment also includes an elastic telescopic module 8, which is arranged on the automatic screw driving device 3 and is against the panel 12. The elastic telescopic module 8 of this embodiment is always against the panel 12 to prevent the panel 12 from bending and deforming to the side away from the electrical box assembly 11 due to deformation, so that the panel 12 and the electrical box assembly 11 are fitted together. Due to its elasticity, it affects the automatic screw driving device 3 from driving screws.
