[0036] The embodiment of the present application provides an assembly method of an electronic product, which can be used for assembling an electronic product. The electronic product can be a computer, a mobile phone, an e-reader, etc., such as a laptop computer, a PDA, a foldable screen mobile phone, etc.
[0037] In some technical solutions, the electronic product includes a main body and a hinge side cover. During the process of assembling the hinge side cover to the main body, poor assembly accuracy can easily cause the hinge side cover to scratch and collide with the main body, resulting in a low yield rate in the production of electronic products. Especially when the main body includes a display device, it is easy to cause damage to the display device, affecting the viewing experience or display effect.
[0038] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The assembly method of the embodiment of the present application is applicable to an assembly device 100 for an electronic product, wherein the electronic product includes a body 200 and a rotating shaft side cover 300. The assembly method includes:
[0039] S100: (refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 ) is connected to the target surface 321 of the rotating shaft side cover 300 by the gripping mechanism 120 of the assembly device 100, (refer to Figure 3 and Figure 7 ) acquiring a first visual feature 330 of the rotating shaft side cover 300 based on a target surface 321 of the rotating shaft side cover 300;
[0040] S200: (refer to Figure 3 and Fig.10 ) obtaining a second visual feature 250 of the connecting surface 260 of the body 200 through the visual mechanism 130 of the assembly device 100;
[0041] S300: (refer to Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Fig.13 ) The hinge side cover 300 is moved relative to the body 200 by the moving mechanism 140 of the assembly device 100, and the hinge side cover 300 is connected to the body 200 based on the first visual feature 330 and the second visual feature 250 being arranged correspondingly along the assembly direction.
[0042] In the embodiment of the present application, the gripping mechanism 120 of the assembly equipment 100 is connected to the target surface 321 of the rotating shaft side cover 300. The gripping mechanism 120 can be connected to the rotating shaft side cover 300 by clamping, magnetic attraction, negative pressure adsorption, etc., and the moving mechanism 140 drives the gripping mechanism 120 to move, thereby adjusting the relative position of the rotating shaft side cover 300 and the main body 200.
[0043] In the embodiment of the present application, the visual mechanism 130 obtains the first visual feature 330 of the rotating shaft side cover 300 based on the target surface 321 of the rotating shaft side cover 300, that is, when the grasping mechanism 120 is connected to the rotating shaft side cover 300, the visual mechanism 130 shoots the rotating shaft side cover 300 to obtain the corresponding image, and recognizes and analyzes the first visual feature 330 based on the image containing the rotating shaft side cover 300, thereby determining the relative position of the rotating shaft side cover 300 to the assembly device 100. Among them, the first visual feature 330 can be a structural surface, a structural edge, a convex part, a concave part, an indication label, a positioning mark, etc. on the rotating shaft side cover 300.
[0044] In the embodiment of the present application, the visual mechanism 130 can also obtain the second visual feature 250 of the connection surface 260 of the body 200. That is, the visual mechanism 130 photographs the body 200 to obtain a corresponding image, and recognizes and analyzes the second visual feature 250 based on the image containing the body 200 to determine the position of the body 200 relative to the assembly device 100. The second visual feature 250 can be a structural surface, a structural edge, a convex part, a concave part, an indication label, a positioning mark, etc. on the body 200.
[0045] On this basis, based on the positions of the gripping mechanism 120 and the moving mechanism 140 in the assembly device 100 and the placement position of the body 200, the relative position of the rotating shaft side cover 300 and the body 200 can be obtained to achieve high-precision positioning of the rotating shaft side cover 300 and the body 200. In addition, when the visual mechanism 130 is fixed, the visual mechanism 130 can also be used as a positioning reference.
[0046] In the embodiment of the present application, the position of the rotating shaft side cover 300 relative to the assembly device 100 can be determined by the offset position and deviation angle of the first visual feature 330 in the captured image and the standard image, and the position of the body 200 relative to the assembly device 100 can be determined by the offset position and deviation angle of the second visual feature 250 in the captured image and the standard image, and then the relative position of the rotating shaft side cover 300 and the body 200 can be determined based on the position of the visual mechanism 130. Among them, the standard image is a preset image used as a judgment reference.
[0047] It should be noted that the visual mechanism 130 can obtain the first visual feature 330 and the second visual feature 250 respectively, and the visual mechanism 130 can also obtain the first visual feature 330 and the second visual feature 250 in the same image, and determine the relative position of the hinge side cover 300 and the main body 200 based on the positional relationship between the first visual feature 330 and the second visual feature 250 in the image, without taking the position of the moving mechanism 140 and the visual mechanism 130 as a reference.
[0048] In the embodiment of the present application, when the visual mechanism 130 obtains the first visual feature 330 and the second visual feature 250, the assembly device 100 can clearly determine the relative position of the shaft side cover 300 and the body 200, and based on this, the shaft side cover 300 is driven to move by the mobile device, so that the shaft side cover 300 moves to a position corresponding to the body 200 along the assembly direction. That is, the relative position of the shaft side cover 300 and the body 200 is adjusted so that the relative positions of the two are aligned, and the two are connected along the assembly direction.
[0049] In addition, there is no order restriction for the visual mechanism 130 to acquire the first visual feature 330 and the second visual feature 250. The first visual feature 330 may be acquired first, and then the second visual feature 250; or the second visual feature 250 may be acquired first, and then the first visual feature 330; or the first visual feature 330 and the second visual feature 250 may be acquired simultaneously.
[0050] The technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application is to connect the target surface 321 of the shaft side cover 300 through the grasping mechanism 120, and obtain the first visual feature 330 of the shaft side cover 300 and the second visual feature 250 of the body 200 through the visual mechanism 130. Based on the first visual feature 330 and the second visual feature 250, the moving mechanism 140 drives the grasping mechanism 120 to move, and then drives the shaft side cover 300 to move relative to the body 200, so that the two are arranged correspondingly along the assembly direction for assembly. Due to the adoption of the visual assembly solution, the relative positions of the hinge side cover 300 and the main body 200 can be accurately obtained through the first visual feature 330 and the second visual feature 250, and based on this, the movable mechanism 140 drives the hinge side cover 300 to move relative to the main body 200, so that the hinge side cover 300 and the main body 200 can obtain higher alignment accuracy in the assembly direction, and then reduce the possibility of scratches and collisions between the hinge side cover 300 and the main body 200 during the assembly process along the assembly direction. The assembly method of the embodiment of the present application has higher assembly accuracy and can improve the yield rate of the assembled electronic products.
[0051] In order to facilitate the connection of the gripping mechanism 120 to the target surface 321 of the rotating shaft side cover 300, refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and 6 In some possible embodiments of the present application, in step S100 of connecting the target surface 321 of the rotating shaft side cover 300 through the gripping mechanism 120 of the assembly device 100, the assembly method includes:
[0052] S110: Acquire the target surface 321 of the rotating shaft side cover 300 through the visual mechanism 130 of the assembly equipment 100;
[0053] The target surface 321 is characterized as the exposed surface when the shaft side cover 300 is connected to the body 200. The target surface 321 has a gripping area for connection with the gripping mechanism 120. The target surface 321 is located on the first side of the shaft side cover 300 and is a plane.
[0054] In the embodiment of the present application, the visual mechanism 130 can also obtain the target surface 321 of the rotating shaft side cover 300 by shooting, so as to determine the relative position of the grasping mechanism 120 and the rotating shaft side cover 300, so that the moving mechanism 140 can drive the grasping mechanism 120 to move to the position of the target surface 321 based on the relative position of the grasping mechanism 120 and the rotating shaft side cover 300, thereby realizing the precise connection between the grasping mechanism 120 and the target surface 321.
[0055] In the embodiment of the present application, the hinge side cover 300 includes multiple structural surfaces. When the hinge side cover 300 is assembled to the main body 200, some structural surfaces of the hinge side cover 300 are away from the main body 200 and form the exposed surface of the electronic product. It can be understood that since the exposed surface is located on the outside of the electronic product, during the assembly process, the grasping mechanism 120 connected to the target surface 321 is not easy to interfere with the main body 200.
[0056] In the embodiment of the present application, the target surface 321 may be a plane, a curved surface, a stepped surface, etc. Figure 6 The target surface 321 is set as a plane. The target surface 321 set as a plane is relatively flat and can better contact with the grasping mechanism 120. In the grasping scheme of negative pressure adsorption, the flat target surface 321 is also easy to seal to be stably adsorbed. Figure 5 and 8 When the target surface 321 is assembled to the body 200 , both ends of the target surface 321 are squeezed by the body 200 , and the middle portion of the target surface 321 protrudes from the display device 240 , forming an outwardly convex arc surface.
[0057] In the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present application, the target surface 321 is provided with a grasping area, and the target surface 321 is a plane, which can facilitate the connection of the grasping mechanism 120. On this basis, the target surface 321 of the rotating shaft side cover 300 is obtained through the visual mechanism 130, so that the grasping mechanism 120 can locate the target surface 321, thereby improving the grasping accuracy. In addition, the target surface 321 is the surface exposed when the rotating shaft side cover 300 is connected to the body 200, which can facilitate the assembly of the rotating shaft side cover 300 with the body 200 when being grasped.
[0058] In order to improve the positioning accuracy of the rotating shaft side cover 300, refer to Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 In some possible embodiments of the present application, in step S100 of acquiring the first visual feature 330 of the rotating shaft side cover 300 based on the target surface 321 of the rotating shaft side cover 300, the assembly method includes at least one of the following:
[0059] S120: (refer to Figure 7 and Fig.14) obtaining a first visual edge feature 331 of a visual edge arranged along a first direction X on a second side of the rotating shaft side cover 300;
[0060] S130: (refer to Figure 7 and Fig.14 ) obtaining a second visual edge feature 332 of a visual edge arranged along a second direction Y on a second side of the rotating shaft side cover 300;
[0061] S140: (refer to Figure 8 ) obtaining a third visual edge feature 333 of a visual edge arranged along a third direction Z on the second side of the rotating shaft side cover 300;
[0062] The second side visual edge of the rotating shaft side cover 300 is disposed opposite to the first side target surface 321 of the rotating shaft side cover 300 .
[0063] In the embodiment of the present application, the second side of the shaft side cover 300 is arranged opposite to the first side of the shaft side cover 300, that is, the target surface 321 located on the first side and the first visual feature 330 located on the second side are arranged opposite to each other, and the second side of the shaft side cover 300 can be used to connect with the main body 200.
[0064] In the embodiment of the present application, the visual edge can be the edge of each structure on the shaft side cover 300. The visual edge can be set as a straight line, an arc, etc., and the visual edge can also be composed of multiple edges; different visual edges can be set along the same or different directions.
[0065] In the embodiment of the present application, the first direction X, the second direction Y and the third direction Z are arranged at an angle with each other, and the angle may be an acute angle, an obtuse angle or a right angle. In some examples, the visual edge corresponding to the first visual edge feature 331 and the visual edge corresponding to the second visual edge feature 332 are parallel to the target surface 321, and the visual edge corresponding to the third visual edge feature 333 is at an angle to the target surface 321.
[0066] In one example, the visual edge corresponding to the first visual edge feature 331 and the visual edge corresponding to the second visual edge feature 332 are at an acute or obtuse angle, and the visual edge corresponding to the third visual edge feature 333 is at an acute or obtuse angle with the target surface 321 .
[0067] In another example, the visual edge corresponding to the first visual edge feature 331, the visual edge corresponding to the second visual edge feature 332, and the visual edge corresponding to the third visual edge feature 333 are arranged vertically in pairs, so as to achieve positioning using a spatial rectangular coordinate system.
[0068] In the embodiment of the present application, the first visual feature 330 acquired by the visual mechanism 130 may include one or more of a first visual edge feature 331, a second visual edge feature 332 and a third visual edge feature 333. It can be understood that the first visual feature 330 of a combination of multiple visual edges in different directions can perform positioning in more directions, thereby improving the accuracy of positioning.
[0069] In one example, the visual mechanism 130 obtains a first visual edge feature 331 and a second visual edge feature 332, and the visual edges corresponding to the first visual edge feature 331 and the second visual edge feature 332 are perpendicular to each other and are both perpendicular to the assembly direction, so as to adjust the position of the hinge side cover 300 in a plane perpendicular to the assembly direction.
[0070] According to the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present application, the first visual feature 330 may be a visual edge feature corresponding to each visual edge of the hinge side cover 300. By acquiring the visual edge features of the hinge side cover 300 along different directions, the hinge side cover 300 may be positioned from different directions to improve the positioning accuracy.
[0071] In order to improve the positioning accuracy of the body 200, refer to Figure 7 , Fig. 9 and Fig.10 In some possible embodiments of the present application, in step S200 of acquiring the second visual feature 250 of the connecting surface 260 of the body 200 by the visual mechanism 130 of the assembly device 100, the assembly method includes at least one of the following:

[0073] S220: (refer to Fig.10 ) obtaining, through the visual mechanism 130, a second visual side feature 252 of the connecting surface 260 of the second sub-body 220 of the main body 200 located on the rotating side;
[0074] S230: (refer to Fig.10 and Fig.13 ) obtaining, through the visual mechanism 130, a third visual side feature 253 of the rotating shaft 230 of the body 200 located on the rotating side;
[0075] The connection surface 260 of the body 200 is characterized as a surface where the body 200 is connected to the display device 240 for display.
[0076] In the embodiment of the present application, the main body 200 may include a first sub-body 210, a second sub-body 220, and a rotating shaft 230 connecting the first sub-body 210 and the second sub-body 220, the display device 240 is respectively connected to the first sub-body 210 and the second sub-body 220, and the rotating shaft side cover 300 is connected in the space enclosed by the first sub-body 210, the second sub-body 220 and the rotating shaft 230.
[0077] In the embodiment of the present application, the first visual side feature 251 can be the edge, corner, etc. of the connecting surface 260 close to the rotating shaft 230; correspondingly, the second visual side feature 252 can be the edge, corner, etc. of the connecting surface 260 close to the rotating shaft 230; the third visual side feature 253 can be the edge, corner, etc. of the connecting surface 260 close to the rotating shaft 230.
[0078] In the embodiment of the present application, the second visual feature 250 may include one or more different first visual side features 251, may include one or more different second visual side features 252, and may also include one or more different third visual side features 253. In addition, the second visual feature 250 may include one or more of the first visual side feature 251, the second visual side feature 252, and the third visual side feature 253.
[0079] In the embodiment of the present application, the first visual feature 330 and the second visual feature 250 may or may not have a corresponding relationship. For example, the second visual feature 250 includes a third visual side feature 253 located on the rotating shaft 230, and the third visual side feature 253 corresponds to two edges set at an angle on the rotating shaft 230, and the two edges correspond to the first visual side feature 331 and the second visual side feature 332 respectively. That is, when the rotating shaft side cover 300 and the body 200 are aligned along the assembly direction, the two edges of the third visual side feature 253 are respectively opposite to the first visual side feature 331 and the second visual side feature 332 along the assembly direction.
[0080] In the embodiment of the present application, the first visual feature 330 and the second visual feature 250 may also be structural features for assembly under corresponding circumstances, that is, when the hinge side cover 300 is assembled to the main body 200, the first visual feature 330 and the corresponding second visual feature 250 are connected to realize the connection between the hinge side cover 300 and the main body 200.
[0081] According to the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application, the second visual feature 250 can be a visual side feature of the connecting surface 260 corresponding to different substructures of the main body 200 (the first subbody 210, the second subbody 220 or the rotating shaft 230, etc.). By obtaining the visual side features of different substructures of the main body 200, the positioning accuracy of the main body 200 can be improved.
[0082] In order to facilitate the high-precision connection of the shaft side cover 300 to the body 200, refer to Figure 3 and Fig.11 In some possible embodiments of the present application, in step S300 of moving the rotating shaft side cover 300 relative to the body 200 by the moving mechanism 140 of the assembly device 100, the rotating shaft side cover 300 is connected to the body 200 based on the first visual feature 330 and the second visual feature 250 being arranged correspondingly along the assembly direction, the assembly method includes:
[0083] S310: (refer to Figure 3 ) obtaining the relative position of the rotating shaft side cover 300 and the body 200 through the visual mechanism 130 of the assembly device 100, and determining the assembly path and movement direction of the rotating shaft side cover 300 relative to the body 200 based on the relative position of the rotating shaft side cover 300 and the body 200;
[0084] S320: Controlling the moving mechanism 140 to move the rotating shaft side cover 300 to a relative position of the body 200 based on the assembly path;
[0085] S330: Based on the first visual feature 330 and the second visual feature 250, the moving mechanism 140 is controlled to adjust the assembly angle of the rotating shaft side cover 300 relative to the body 200, so that the rotating shaft side cover 300 is arranged correspondingly relative to the body 200 along the assembly direction, wherein the first visual feature 330 and the second visual feature 250 at least partially overlap along the assembly direction;
[0086] S340 : The moving mechanism 140 moves the rotation shaft side cover 300 relative to the body 200 through the assembly path, assembly angle and movement direction so that the rotation shaft side cover 300 is connected to the body 200 .
[0087] In the embodiment of the present application, based on the visual mechanism 130 acquiring the first visual feature 330 and the second visual feature 250, the relative position of the top shaft side cover 300 and the main body 200 can be determined. Based on the relative position, the offset direction of the shaft side cover 300 relative to the main body 200 and the spacing distance along different offset directions can be determined. The assembly path and movement direction can be planned according to the offset direction and the spacing distance, so that the moving mechanism 140 can assemble the shaft side cover 300 to the main body 200.
[0088] In the embodiment of the present application, the assembly path may be a straight path, a curved path, etc. The assembly path may be a path along which the rotating shaft side cover 300 moves toward the body 200 along the shortest distance, or an avoidance path may be set to bypass obstacles that may exist between the rotating shaft side cover 300 and the body 200. In addition, the moving direction may be any one of the first direction X, the second direction Y, and the third direction Z, or a combination of multiple directions.
[0089] For example, the visual mechanism 130 determines that there is a first spacing between the first visual side feature 331 and the corresponding third visual side feature 253 on the rotating shaft 230 along the second direction Y through the first visual feature 330 and the second visual side feature 250; there is a second spacing between the second visual side feature 332 and the corresponding third visual side feature 253 on the rotating shaft 230 along the first direction X. Based on this, the moving mechanism 140 drives the rotating shaft side cover 300 to move the distance of the second spacing along the first direction X and the distance of the first spacing along the second direction Y, so that the rotating shaft side cover 300 and the body 200 are opposite to each other along the assembly direction, and then the rotating shaft side cover 300 is moved along the assembly direction to achieve the assembly of the rotating shaft side cover 300 and the body 200.
[0090] In the embodiment of the present application, the rotating shaft side cover 300 may still have a deflection angle after being connected by the grasping mechanism 120, for example, the first visual side feature 331 and the corresponding third visual side feature 253 on the rotating shaft 230 have an angle, rather than being arranged in parallel. In this case, it is also necessary to adjust the assembly angle of the rotating shaft side cover 300. That is, the visual mechanism 130 determines the deflection angle of the rotating shaft side cover 300 relative to the body 200 through the first visual feature 330 and the second visual feature 250, and drives the rotating shaft side cover 300 to rotate through the moving mechanism 140, for example, rotating along an axis perpendicular to the plane where the first direction X and the second direction Y are located.
[0091] In the embodiment of the present application, when the visual mechanism 130 determines that there is a deflection angle between the rotating shaft side cover 300 and the body 200, the moving mechanism 140 can first drive the rotating shaft side cover 300 to adjust the assembly angle, and then drive the rotating shaft side cover 300 to move along the assembly path and the moving direction. Alternatively, the rotating shaft side cover 300 is first moved into position along the assembly path and the moving direction, and then the assembly angle is adjusted by rotation.
[0092] The technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application obtains the relative position of the shaft side cover 300 and the main body 200 through the visual mechanism 130, and determines the assembly path, moving direction and assembly angle of the shaft side cover 300 relative to the main body 200 based on this. The moving mechanism 140 moves the shaft side cover 300 relative to the main body 200 through the assembly path, assembly angle and moving direction to connect the shaft side cover 300 to the main body 200, so that the shaft side cover 300 can be better aligned with the main body 200, thereby being connected to the main body 200 with higher assembly accuracy.
[0093] In order to facilitate the acquisition of visual features and reduce the possibility of collision between the rotating shaft side cover 300 and the display device 240 during assembly, refer to Fig.12 In some possible embodiments of the present application, in step S300 of connecting the rotating shaft side cover 300 to the body 200 based on the first visual feature 330 and the second visual feature 250 being arranged correspondingly along the assembly direction:
[0094] The portion of the hinge side cover 300 having the first visual feature 330 is located inside the body 200 and connected to the hinge 230 of the body 200 and maintains a preset distance L from the side edge of the display device 240 on the body 200;
[0095] The target surface 321 of the rotating shaft side cover 300 and the connecting surface 260 of the body 200 are located on the same side, and the target surface 321 and the connecting surface 260 meet the coplanar condition.
[0096] In the embodiment of the present application, the first visual feature 330 of the hinge side cover 300 may be partially located in the body 200 to be connected to the hinge 230, or may be completely located in the body 200 and connected to the hinge 230. In the case where the electronic product is also provided with a display device 240, the first visual feature 330 of the hinge side cover 300 should also maintain a preset distance L from the side of the display device 240 to avoid collision with the display device 240 during movement of the hinge side cover 300.
[0097] In the embodiment of the present application, the hinge side cover 300 moves along the assembly direction to be assembled with the main body 200. It can be understood that the hinge side cover 300 should maintain a preset distance L from the display device 240 in a direction that is angled with the assembly direction. For example, the hinge side cover 300 maintains a preset distance L from the display device 240 along the first direction X or the second direction Y.
[0098] In the embodiment of the present application, the target surface 321 of the hinge side cover 300 and the connecting surface 260 of the main body 200 are located on the same side, that is, when the hinge side cover 300 is assembled to the main body 200, the target surface 321 and the connecting surface 260 are located on the same side of the electronic product, and the target surface 321 and the connecting surface 260 satisfy the coplanar condition, that is, the target surface 321 and at least part of the connecting surface 260 are parallel and located at the same height, and the extended surface of the target surface 321 passes through the connecting surface 260.
[0099] According to the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application, a portion of the first visual feature 330 of the hinge side cover 300 is connected to the hinge 230 of the main body 200, and using the assembly structure as a visual feature is more conducive to improving accuracy. The hinge side cover 300 maintains a preset distance L with the display device 240, which can reduce the possibility of the hinge side cover 300 colliding with the display device during assembly, thereby protecting the display device. The target surface 321 and the connecting surface 260 meet the coplanar condition, which can improve the flatness of the electronic product after assembly.
[0100] Based on this, the embodiment of the present application also provides an assembly device 100, referring to Figure 3The assembly device 100 includes a base 110, a visual mechanism 130, a gripping mechanism 120 and a moving mechanism 140.

[0101] In the embodiment of the present application, a clamp 112 or a suction cup may be provided on the base 110 to fix the body 200, thereby determining the relative position of the body 200 relative to the base 110. A bearing surface 111 may also be provided on the base 110 to place the shaft side cover 300, so as to facilitate the gripping mechanism 120 to connect the shaft side cover 300. The base 110 may include a workbench, and may also include a transmission line, etc., which is used to transmit the body 200 and / or the shaft side cover 300.
[0102] In the embodiment of the present application, the grasping mechanism 120 can be a clamp, a magnetic suction mechanism, a negative pressure adsorption mechanism, etc. For example, the grasping mechanism 120 is a suction cup, which adsorbs the rotating shaft side cover 300 through negative pressure; the moving mechanism 140 is respectively connected to the base body 110 and the grasping mechanism 120, which can drive the grasping mechanism 120 to move relative to the base body 110. The moving mechanism 140 can be a three-axis moving mechanism 140, a robotic arm, etc., which can realize movement in multiple directions in space.
[0103] In the embodiment of the present application, the visual mechanism 130 can be fixed relative to the base 110, or can be movably arranged relative to the base 110, for example, the visual mechanism 130 is connected to the moving mechanism 140. In addition, there can be one or more visual mechanisms 130. In one example, there are two visual mechanisms 130, one of which is fixed at the position of the bearing surface 111, and after the grasping mechanism 120 grasps the rotating shaft side cover 300, it shoots toward the rotating shaft side cover 300 to obtain the first visual feature 330; the other visual mechanism 130 is fixed at the position of the clamp 112, and shoots toward the body 200 to obtain the second visual feature 250.
[0104] In the embodiment of the present application, a visual mechanism 130 may be provided to determine the distance between the first visual feature 330 and the second visual feature 250 in the assembly direction, that is, to determine whether the shaft side cover 300 is assembled in place. Alternatively, a force sensor, an in-place sensor, etc. may be provided to determine whether the shaft side cover 300 is assembled in place relative to the body 200 through feedback from the sensor.
[0105] In the embodiment of the present application, one or more gripping mechanisms 120 may be provided on the moving mechanism 140. Multiple gripping mechanisms 120 may improve assembly efficiency. The moving mechanism 140 may drive each gripping mechanism 120 to move respectively, or the moving mechanism 140 may drive multiple gripping mechanisms 120 to move synchronously. For example, two gripping mechanisms 120 are provided on the moving mechanism 140, and two rotating shaft side covers 300 may be connected at the same time, so as to realize the assembly of the rotating shaft side covers 300 on both sides of the electronic product in one assembly process.
[0106] The technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present application is that the seat 110 is used to fix the body 200 and place the rotating shaft side cover 300, so as to facilitate the gripping mechanism 120 to connect the rotating shaft side cover 300. The body 200 is fixed to the seat 110, and the rotating shaft side cover 300 on the gripping mechanism 120 is driven by the moving mechanism 140 to move, so that the rotating shaft side cover 300 can move relative to the body 200. The visual mechanism 130 obtains the first visual feature 330 of the rotating shaft side cover 300 and the second visual feature 250 of the body 200. The gripping mechanism 120 and the moving mechanism 140 can act based on the first visual feature 330 and the second visual feature 250 to accurately locate the relative position of the rotating shaft side cover 300 and the body 200 and realize high-precision relative movement. When the rotating shaft side cover 300 is moved relative to the body 200 to the state that the two are arranged relative to each other along the assembly direction, the possibility of scratching and colliding between the rotating shaft side cover 300 and the body 200 is reduced, and the yield rate of the assembled electronic products is improved.
[0107] In addition, the present application also provides an electronic product, which can be assembled by the method implemented by the present application, referring to Figure 2 , Figure 4 and 12 The electronic product includes a main body 200 and a hinge side cover 300, the hinge side cover 300 includes a target surface 321 for connection with a grasping mechanism 120, and a first visual feature 330 for acquisition by a visual mechanism 130; the main body 200 includes a display device 240, and a connecting surface 260 connected to the display device 240, the connecting surface 260 has a second visual feature 250 for acquisition by the visual mechanism 130, the second visual feature 250 and the first visual feature 330 are used to be arranged relative to each other along an assembly direction, so that the hinge side cover 300 is assembled to the main body 200 while maintaining a preset distance L from the side of the display device 240.
[0108] In the embodiment of the present application, the target surface 321 of the rotating shaft side cover 300 is used to be connected with the gripping mechanism 120. The target surface 321 can be set as a plane, or a concave portion, a convex portion, etc. can be set on the target surface 321 to facilitate the connection of the gripping mechanism 120. The first visual feature 330 can be set on the side of the rotating shaft side cover 300 having the target surface 321, or, it can be set on the side of the rotating shaft side cover 300 away from the target surface 321.
[0109] In the embodiment of the present application, the body 200 includes a display device 240, which is connected to a connection surface 260, and the connection surface 260 has a second visual feature 250. During the assembly process, with the assistance of the visual mechanism 130, the hinge side cover 300 is moved to a position where the first visual feature 330 and the second visual feature 250 are arranged relative to each other along the assembly direction, and the hinge side cover 300 is kept at a preset distance L from the side of the display device 240. Then, the hinge side cover 300 is moved along the assembly direction to achieve assembly, so as to ensure that the hinge side cover 300 does not touch the display device 240 during the assembly process.
[0110] Here, the first visual feature 330 may include the first visual edge feature 331, the second visual edge feature 332, and the third visual edge feature 333; the second visual feature 250 may include the first visual side feature 251, the second visual side feature 252, and the third visual side feature 253.

[0111] According to the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application, the first visual feature 330 and the second visual feature 250 are respectively provided on the hinge side cover 300 and the main body 200. The hinge side cover 300 can be assembled to the main body 200 by a visual assembly solution, and the hinge side cover 300 maintains a preset distance L with the display device 240, is not prone to collision with the display assembly, and has a higher yield rate.

The support portion 310 can be made of a relatively strong material such as metal, has relatively high structural strength, can provide good support for the flexible cover 320, and has good connection stability when connected to the body 200. In addition, the first visual feature 330 is disposed on the side of the support portion 310 away from the target surface 321, which not only facilitates the visual mechanism 130 to obtain the first visual feature 330, but also the structure of the first visual feature 330 is relatively stable, which facilitates improving positioning accuracy.
[0114] In an embodiment of the present application, the shaft side cover 300 can be connected to the base of the shaft 230, and a connecting groove 231 is provided on the shaft 230. The support portion 310 can be inserted into the connecting groove 231 and snapped into place to limit the movement of the shaft side cover 300 relative to the shaft 230 along the vertical assembly direction. Glue can also be provided between the support portion 310 and the shaft 230 to firmly connect the two.
[0115] In the embodiment of the present application, the flexible cover 320 and the support part 310 can be connected by means of snap connection, bonding, integral molding, etc. The flexible cover 320 is arranged on the side of the support part 310 facing the display device 240.

The flexible cover 320 can also cover the rotating shaft 230 as a decoration, and the flexible cover 320 can provide assembly references and limit positions for other components of the electronic product to facilitate the assembly of other components. Among them, the flexible cover 320 is made of a deformable flexible material such as rubber, and can also have elasticity to have good shape retention ability.
[0116] According to the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present application, the target surface 321 is arranged on the flexible cover 320, and the target surface 321 and the display surface are located on the same side of the main body 200, so that the hinge side cover 300 can be easily grasped by the assembly device 100, and the first visual feature 330 is located on the side of the support portion 310 opposite to the target surface 321, as well as the portion where the support portion 310 is connected to the connecting groove 231, so as to improve the assembly accuracy.
[0117] In order to improve the usability of electronic products, refer to Figure 2 , Fig.10 and Fig.13 In some possible embodiments of the present application, the main body 200 includes a first sub-body 210 and a second sub-body 220, and the first sub-body 210 and the second sub-body 220 are connected by a hinge 230 so that the main body 200 has an unfolded state and a folded state; when the main body 200 is in the unfolded state, the target surface 321 of the hinge side cover 300 and the connecting surface 260 of the main body 200 meet the coplanar condition; when the main body 200 is in the folded state, the first sub-body 210 and the second sub-body 220 squeeze the flexible cover 320 so that the target surface 321 protrudes in a direction away from the display device 240.
[0118] In the embodiment of the present application, the main body 200 is provided with a first sub-body 210, a second sub-body 220 and a rotating shaft 230. The first sub-body 210 and the second sub-body 220 are connected by the rotating shaft 230 and can rotate relative to each other, so that the main body 200 can have an unfolded state, that is, a state in which the first sub-body 210 and the second sub-body 220 are parallel and arranged side by side in the length direction; and the main body 200 has a folded state, that is, a state in which the first sub-body 210 and the second sub-body 220 are parallel and overlapped in the thickness direction.
[0119] It should be noted that the body 200 may also have an intermediate state in which the first sub-body 210 and the second sub-body 220 are at an angle, so as to enrich the application scenarios of the body 200. In addition, the shaft side cover 300 may be arranged on the inner side of the body 200, that is, in the folded state, the shaft side cover 300 is surrounded by the body 200; or, the shaft side cover 300 may be arranged on the outer side of the body 200, that is, in the folded state, the shaft side cover 300 is located on the exposed side of the body 200.
[0120] In some embodiments, when the main body 200 is in the unfolded state, the target surface 321 of the hinge side cover 300 and the connecting surface 260 of the main body 200 meet the coplanar condition, and the target surface 321 and the display surface of the display device 240 are relatively flat and have good appearance consistency.
[0121] In some embodiments, when the body 200 is in the folded state, the first sub-body 210 and the second sub-body 220 squeeze the flexible cover 320, that is, the two ends of the flexible cover 320 along the length direction of the body 200 extend into the first sub-body 210 and the second sub-body 220 respectively, and when the first sub-body 210 and the second sub-body 220 are rotated to the folded state, the two ends of the flexible cover 320 can be squeezed inwardly, so that the middle part of the flexible cover 320 protrudes outward. It can be understood that when the body 200 is in the middle state, the first sub-body 210 and the second sub-body 220 will also squeeze the flexible cover 320.
[0122] In some embodiments, the first sub-body 210 and the second sub-body 220 respectively include decorative parts. When the shaft side cover 300 is connected to the shaft 230, the decorative parts are respectively connected to the corresponding first sub-body 210 and the second sub-body 220, and the decorative parts squeeze the two ends of the flexible cover 320 so that the target surface 321 of the flexible cover 320 presents an outwardly convex arc surface.
[0123] According to the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present application, when the main body 200 is in the unfolded state, the target surface 321 of the hinge side cover 300 and the connecting surface 260 of the main body 200 meet the coplanar condition, and the electronic product has high flatness and appearance consistency. When the main body 200 is in the folded state, the target surface 321 protrudes in the direction away from the display device 240, which can reduce the possibility of the hinge side cover 300 over-squeezing the display device 240, thereby protecting the display device 240.

The two shaft side covers 300 are respectively installed to the two connecting grooves 231, and the shaft side covers 300 can cover the shaft 230 to play a protective and aesthetic role. In addition, the installed shaft side covers 300 can also serve as an installation base and positioning base for other components of the electronic product to facilitate the assembly of other components.

Since the connecting groove 231 is used to assemble with the rotating shaft side cover 300 to form the second visual feature 250, the influence of the size error on the positioning can be eliminated, thereby improving the positioning accuracy.

One side along the width direction of the support portion 310 can be extended into the connection groove 231 to be assembled with the hinge 230, and the other side is connected to the flexible cover 320. The flexible cover 320 includes a first side plate and a second side plate that are bent. The first side plate is parallel to the support portion 310, and a notch is set in the middle to accommodate the support portion 310. The second side plate is perpendicular to the support portion 310. The upper side of the second side plate forms a target surface 321. The target surface 321 is a plane when not assembled to the body 200, so as to facilitate the grasping of the grasping mechanism 120. The side of the second side plate opposite to the target surface 321 is used to abut the display device 240. When the target surface 321 is assembled to the body 200 and squeezed at both ends by the first sub-body 210 and the second sub-body 220, the middle part of the target surface 321 protrudes away from the hinge 230 to form an arc surface to protect the display device 240.
[0127] On this basis, the support portion 310 is used to connect to the short side of the connecting groove 231 to form a first visual edge feature 331 (along the first direction X), and the support portion 310 is used to connect to the long side of the connecting groove 231 to form a second visual edge feature 332 (along the second direction Y). When the hinge side cover 300 moves relative to the main body 200 along the assembly direction, the first visual edge feature 331 is opposite to the third visual side feature 253 corresponding to the short side of the connecting groove 231, and the second visual edge feature 332 is opposite to the third visual side feature 253 corresponding to the long side of the connecting groove 231. At this time, the hinge side cover 300 has a preset distance L with the display device 240 along the first direction X.
[0128] It can be understood that the two second visual side features 253 are perpendicular to each other along the first direction X and the second direction Y respectively, the first visual edge feature 331 is perpendicular to each other along the first direction X, and the second visual edge feature 332 is perpendicular to each other along the second direction X, thereby achieving positioning in multiple directions.
[0129] The assembly equipment 100 includes a base body 110, a gripping mechanism 120, a moving mechanism 140 and a visual mechanism 130. The visual mechanism 130 includes a first visual mechanism 131 and a second visual mechanism 132. The first visual mechanism 131 is arranged at a position of a bearing surface 111 on the base body 110, and the second visual mechanism 132 is arranged at a position of a clamp 112 on the base body 110. The main body 200 is clamped and fixed by the clamp 112 on the base body 110. The gripping mechanism 120 negatively pressure adsorbs a target surface 321 of the shaft side cover 300 on the bearing surface 111, and lifts the shaft side cover 300 through the moving mechanism 140.
[0130] When the hinge side cover 300 is connected by the clamping mechanism, the first visual mechanism 131 photographs the hinge side cover 300 to obtain the first visual feature 330 on the lower side of the support portion 310; when the main body 200 is fixed by the clamp 112, the second visual mechanism 132 photographs the hinge side cover 300 to obtain the second visual feature 250 of the hinge 230.
[0131] The first visual feature 330 and the second visual feature 250 are used to determine whether there is a deflection angle between the first visual side feature 331 or the second visual side feature 332 and the corresponding third visual side feature 253, and the assembly angle is determined. When it is determined that there is a deflection angle, the moving mechanism 140 drives the rotating shaft side cover 300 to rotate based on the assembly angle to eliminate the deflection angle. The offset direction and spacing distance between the first visual side feature 331 or the second visual side feature 332 and the corresponding third visual side feature 253 are determined by the first visual feature 330 and the second visual feature 250, and the assembly path and assembly direction are planned based on this. The moving mechanism 140 drives the rotating shaft side cover 300 to move to a position aligned with the body 200 based on the assembly path and assembly direction, that is, the first visual side feature 331 and the third visual side feature 253 corresponding to the short side of the connecting groove 231 at least partially overlap along the assembly direction; the second visual side feature 332 and the third visual side feature 253 corresponding to the long side of the connecting groove 231 at least partially overlap along the assembly direction. Here, the moving mechanism 140 can drive the rotating shaft side cover 300 to move along the first direction X and / or the second direction Y.
[0132] On this basis, the moving mechanism 140 drives the hinge side cover 300 to move toward the hinge 230 along the assembly direction until the support portion 310 is connected to the connecting groove 231 and the flexible cover 320 abuts against the display surface of the display device 240, thereby completing the assembly. During this process, the hinge side cover 300 and the display device 240 always maintain a preset distance L along the first direction X, thereby having higher assembly accuracy and protecting the display device 240.
