[0037] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0038] In the process of producing signal products, existing assembly and testing need to rely on skilled operators to complete. During the assembly process, operators will use electric screwdrivers, manual screwdrivers or related tools to assemble and tighten; during the testing process, operators will use the product's supporting test tools and general test instruments to manually test, such as software burning, open and short circuit testing, voltage testing, indicator light identification, hardware function testing, etc., and need to manually fill in product test records and perform paper archiving management. The existing assembly and testing efficiency is low. The embodiments of the present disclosure address the problem of low assembly and testing efficiency of signal products and provide an assembly system for signal products. The assembly system for signal products in the embodiments of the present disclosure, such as Figure 1 As shown, the system is equipped with eight stations, and each module from station 1 to station 8 is an independent module and can be assembled flexibly. The specific functions of each station are as follows:

[0039] Station 1: Used for storing product tooling and jigs. The jigs are trays customized according to the components of the product and used to position the corresponding components. They can be circulated among the stations in sequence.

[0040] Station 2: It can be equipped with a four-axis structure to move the product components (boards) from the loading machine to the fixture, and determine whether the components are placed correctly.

[0041] Station 3: It can automatically grab the corresponding parts and automatically lock the screws to realize component assembly.

[0042] Workstation 4: This can be a manual intervention workstation, where manual intervention is performed on the parts of the assembly process that cannot be automated.

[0043] Station 5: It can automatically grab the corresponding parts and automatically lock the screws to realize component assembly.

[0044] Workstation 6: Carry out automated testing on each component assembled from parts, automatically determine the test results, and upload the test results to the MES system.

[0045] Workstation seven: Combination of manual and automated equipment, manual intervention for parts that cannot be installed by automation, and automatic screw locking.

[0046] Station 8: Automatically affix finished product labels, store finished products, and return the fixture to station 1 through the lifting module.

[0047] The above-mentioned workstations 2 to 8 may also be equipped with a barcode reader, which is used to read the barcode information of the product so as to trace the product production process information.

[0048] Accordingly, the present disclosure also provides a method for assembling a signal product, such as Figure 2 As shown, the assembly method of the signal product of the embodiment of the present disclosure includes:

[0049] 101. When it is monitored that the corresponding first components are placed on each first fixture of the first station, each first fixture is transferred to the second station. After the second station determines that each first component is placed correctly, multiple third stations are used to assemble each first component. The first components are components required for assembling safety signal lights.

[0050] Among them, the first fixture is a tray for positioning the first component, and the first fixture can be circulated in each station in turn. It should be noted that each first component can be all the components required to assemble the safety signal light, or it can be a part of the safety signal light. If it is a part of the component, other components for assembling the safety signal light can be placed on top of the first component. Multiple third stations are used to assemble the components in turn. The multiple third stations may include a fourth station, a fifth station, a sixth station, and a seventh station. Figure 1 As shown, the first workstation is workstation one, the second workstation is workstation two, and the multiple third workstations are workstation three (fourth workstation), workstation four (fifth workstation), workstation five (sixth workstation), and workstation seven (seventh workstation).

[0051] The station 1 in the embodiment of the present disclosure can store multiple first jigs and at least one second jig. During the assembly of the safety signal light, the operator can place each first component on the corresponding first jig, or a six-axis robot arm can be used to replace manual placement of the first component.

[0052] In this step, it is possible to monitor whether the corresponding first components are placed on each first fixture of station one. If the corresponding first components are placed on each first fixture, the safety signal light assembly program will be started, and each first fixture will be transferred to station two. Station two identifies whether the position of each first component is placed in the correct position. At the same time, it can also identify whether the position of other safety signal light components above the first component is placed correctly. If correct, it will be transmitted to station three. If not, an alarm can be issued, or it can be transmitted back to station one for the operator to re-place it. Each third station is used to assemble each component in turn, and finally assembled into a complete safety signal light product.

[0053] It should be noted that the embodiments of the present disclosure can not only produce safety signal lights or digital track circuits separately in the same time period, but also realize mixed line production, that is, produce both safety signal lights and digital track circuits at the same time. The two products can be distinguished by identifying components (for example, scanning component barcodes) so as to call matching production line control programs.

[0054] 102. When it is monitored that the second components exist on the cache track of the second station, the second fixture stored in the first station is transferred to the second station. The second station places the second components on the second fixture, and uses multiple third stations to assemble the second components. The second components are components required for assembling the digital track circuit.

[0055] The second jig is a tray for positioning or carrying the second component, and one of the second components is positioned in the second jig, that is, the second component is prevented from moving. When each second component is placed in the second jig, the other second components are located above the positioned second component. The second jig is different from the first jig, and each jig is a dedicated jig.

[0056] In this step, each second component can be transported from the loading position of station two (the second station) to the cache track of station two, and the cache track of the second station can be monitored. When it is detected that each second component exists on the cache track, the program for assembling the digital track circuit will be started. At this time, station one transfers the stored second jig to station two. Station two first automatically grabs the second component to be positioned from the cache track, places it in the second jig, and then grabs other second components and places them above the second component. For example, the second jig can position the motherboard. The second station will first grab the motherboard and place it on the second jig, and then place the second CPU board in the preset position of the motherboard. After determining that each second component has been placed, the second jig is transferred to station three so that the assembly of the digital track circuit can be completed using each third station.

[0057] It should be noted that all components for assembling the digital track circuit can be placed on the second fixture, or some components can be used as auxiliary materials and pre-placed on each third station in sequence, and the corresponding auxiliary materials can be grabbed when assembly is required.

[0058] When the embodiment of the present disclosure monitors that the corresponding first component is placed on the first fixture of the first station, the assembly safety signal light program is started, and each first fixture is transferred to the second station. The second station identifies whether the position of each first component is placed correctly. When the second station determines that each first component is placed correctly, each first fixture is transferred to the third station, and multiple third stations are used to realize the sequential assembly of each first component, so as to complete the assembly of the safety signal light. When it is monitored that there is a second component on the cache track of the second station, the assembly digital signal light program is started. At this time, a corresponding instruction is sent to the first station so that the first station transfers the stored second fixture to the second station. After each second component is placed on the second fixture at the second station, each third station is used to assemble each second component in sequence, so as to complete the assembly of the digital track circuit. The embodiment of the present application completes the automated assembly of two rail transit signal products, safety signal lights and digital track circuits, through the same production line, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of signal products. At the same time, through the identity identification of the two products, mixed-line production is realized, and safety signal lights and digital track circuits can be produced at the same time, further improving the assembly efficiency.

[0059] In order to explain in detail the assembly method of a signal product proposed by the present disclosure, the assembly of a safety signal lamp is described in detail below. The present disclosure proposes an embodiment of an assembly method of another signal product. The specific implementation steps of the embodiment of the present disclosure are as follows: Figure 3 As shown, including:

[0060] 201. Monitor whether corresponding first components are placed on each first fixture of the first station, where the first component is one of a metal support, a non-metal support, a lens, a non-metal back cover, and an adapter plate. Monitor whether a weight reduction block, a first CPU board, and a driver board are placed on the metal support, and whether an LED lamp panel is placed on the non-metal support.

[0061] The weight-reducing block is a potting weight-reducing block, and the first CPU board and the driver board can be pre-assembled, that is, the first CPU board and the driver board placed in the first fixture are actually a combination of the first CPU board and the driver board. The first CPU board is a CPU board required for assembling the safety signal light.

[0062] The workstation 1 (the first workstation) in this embodiment is a workstation that requires manual intervention. Figure 4a As shown, the operator places each first component (metal support, non-metal support, lens, non-metal back cover, adapter plate) on the corresponding first fixture, and places the weight reduction block, first CPU board, and driver board on the metal support, and places the LED lamp panel on the non-metal support. The first fixtures of the first station are monitored in real time, and when the corresponding first components are placed on the first fixtures of the first station, the first fixtures are transferred to the second station.

[0063] 202. The second station determines whether the first components are placed correctly, and whether the weight reduction block, the first CPU board, the driver board, and the LED lamp panel are all placed in corresponding positions.

[0064] In this step, the second station checks through the camera whether the metal support, non-metal support, lens, non-metal back cover, and adapter plate are placed on the corresponding first fixture, and whether the weight reduction block, first CPU board, and driver board are placed in the corresponding preset position of the metal support, and whether the LED light panel is placed in the preset position of the non-metal support. If all are placed correctly, the first fixtures are transferred to the fourth station, otherwise, an alarm will be issued.

[0065] 203. The fourth station assembles the lens and the non-metallic support to obtain a first component, assembles the adapter plate and the non-metallic back cover to obtain a second component, and fixes the first CPU board and the driver board on the metal support to obtain a third component.

[0066] The first component is a component assembled by a lens, an LED lamp panel, and a non-metal support, and the second component is a component assembled by an adapter plate and a non-metal back cover through screws.

[0067] In this step, if Figure 4b As shown, the third station (the fourth station) can first fasten the LED lamp panel to the non-metal support, then automatically suck the lens and place it on the non-metal support, and then suck the screws in the screw feeder to fasten the two to obtain the first component. Automatically suck the adapter board and place it on the non-metal back cover, and fasten it to obtain the second component, and fasten the first CPU board and the driver board to the metal support to obtain the third component.

[0068] In one achievable manner, the specific implementation steps of assembling the first component and the second component are as follows:

[0069] Step 1: The fourth station sucks the lens and places it on the non-metal support, and fixes the lens and the non-metal support to obtain a first component;

[0070] Step 2: The fourth station sucks the adapter plate and places it on the non-metallic back cover, and fixes the adapter plate and the non-metallic back cover to obtain a second component.

[0071] 204. The fifth station monitors whether the first lead-out wire and the second lead-out wire are subjected to heat shrinkage treatment, the first lead-out wire is a lead-out wire of the first CPU board, and the second lead-out wire is a lead-out wire of the adapter board.

[0072] In the embodiment of the present application, station four (the fifth station) is a manual intervention station. The first CPU board of the third component is provided with lead wires, and the adapter board of the second component is also provided with lead wires. The lead wires need to be heat-shrunk during the assembly process. In order to reduce the assembly cost, the heat-shrinking process can be completed manually. The specific operator inserts the first lead wire and the second lead wire into the heat-shrinking ring respectively, and fixes them by heat-shrinking. After the fifth station monitors the heat-shrinking of the first lead wire and the second lead wire, the first component, the second component, and the third component are transferred to the sixth station.

[0073] 205. The sixth station assembles the second component and the third component to obtain the fourth component, and transfers the first component and the fourth component to the eighth station.

[0074] In this step, if Figure 4c As shown, station five (the sixth station) grabs the screws in the screw feeder to tighten the second component and the third component to obtain the fourth component, and transfers the first component and the fourth component to the eighth station.

[0075] 206. Use the eighth workstation to test the first component and the fourth component.

[0076] Among them, the eighth station is station six, that is, the testing station, and the eighth station is used to test the corresponding components.

[0077] In this step, the first component and the fourth component are tested at the eighth station; if they fail the test, the first component and the fourth component are intercepted and stored in the inspection area of ​​the eighth station; if they pass the test, the first component and the fourth component are transferred to the seventh station. Figure 4d As shown, the area to be checked is the NG position of station 6. The eighth station in the embodiment of the present disclosure is provided with a plurality of test boxes, each of which tests a product, that is, the first component and the fourth component are placed in the same test box for testing. The eighth station in the embodiment of the present disclosure can test multiple products at the same time, such as multiple safety signal lights and multiple digital track circuits at the same time, so as to improve the testing efficiency.

[0078] In one achievable manner, Figure 4e As shown, the specific test process is as follows:

[0079] When the sensor senses that the first component and the fourth component flow to station six, the first component and the fourth component are transferred to the corresponding test box, and the PLC sends a signal to the test host in the test box. After receiving the signal, the test host controls each device to perform corresponding work, such as powering on the equipment, executing the test program, and the camera determining the lighting status of the LED lamp beads. When the test is completed, the test host gives a completion signal to the PLC, and at the same time gives a signal whether the test is successful; after receiving the completion signal, the PLC controls the solenoid valve, conveyor belt and other structures to allow the equipment to flow, and uploads the test data to the MES system.

[0080] In another achievable method, the specific testing process is as follows:

[0081] Step 1: The eighth station determines a test area that matches the first component and / or the fourth component, and the test area belongs to the eighth station.

[0082] Among them, the test area is used to prevent the test box, that is, the test component.

[0083] Step 2: Place the first component and the fourth component in the test area.

[0084] Step 3: Use the test box in the test area to test the first component and the fourth component respectively to obtain test data.

[0085] Step 4: Upload the test data to the MES system.

[0086] In the prior art, due to the lack of advanced production assembly and testing equipment, the key test indicator data of product production still relies on manual collection, resulting in data opacity between various links, forming information islands, poor product data timeliness, data disorganization, low utilization rate, and inability to convert data into decision-making services to guide R&D design and production manufacturing, which violates the development direction of enterprise intelligent and digital upgrade transformation. The disclosed embodiment adds a test link to the assembly production line, which not only realizes automated testing, but also collects test data and uploads it to the MES system. The disclosed embodiment not only improves product testing efficiency, but also provides strong technical support for R&D.

[0087] 207. The seventh station assembles the first component and the fourth component.

[0088] The seventh workstation (workstation six) in the embodiment of the present disclosure is a workstation for manual intervention. Figure 4f As shown, station six assembles the first component and the fourth component, that is, the operator fastens the metal support and the non-metal support together with screws to obtain a complete safety signal light.

[0089] 208. The ninth station prints the whole machine label and sticks the label.

[0090] The ninth station (station eight) in the embodiment of the present disclosure is a station for automatically printing machine labels and pasting labels. Figure 4g As shown, after the whole machine label is affixed at station eight, the safety signal light whole machine returns to station one along with the first fixture, and the safety signal light whole machine is taken out manually.

[0091] In order to explain the assembly method of a signal product proposed by the present disclosure in more detail, the assembly of a digital track signal is described in detail below. The present disclosure proposes an embodiment of an assembly method of another signal product. The specific implementation steps of the embodiment of the present disclosure are as follows, including:

[0092] 301. When it is detected that second components exist on the cache track of the second station, the second fixture stored in the first station is transferred to the second station, and the second component is one of the main board and the second CPU board.

[0093] The cache track is a PCB cache track. The main board is a main board required for assembling a digital track circuit. The second CPU board is a CPU board required for assembling a digital track circuit.

[0094] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the cache track of the monitoring station 2 (the second station) is as follows: Figure 5a As shown, the operator or the robot arm can place the main board and the second CPU board at the loading position, and the station 2 transfers the main board and the second CPU board at the loading position to the cache track. When it is detected that the second components exist on the cache track of the second station, the second fixture stored in the station 1 is transferred to the station 2.

[0095] 302. The second station places each second component on a second fixture.

[0096] In this step, the second station automatically absorbs the mainboard on the cache track and places it in the second fixture, and then absorbs the second CPU board and places it in the corresponding position of the mainboard and presses it.

[0097] In one achievable manner, the specific implementation steps of placing each second component on the second fixture are as follows:

[0098] Step 1: The second station absorbs the mainboard and places the mainboard on the second fixture.

[0099] Step 2: The second station sucks the second CPU board and places the second CPU board at a preset position on the main board.

[0100] 303. The fourth station assembles the second components using screws to obtain a fifth component, and absorbs the guide pins and installs the guide pins on the fifth component.

[0101] Among them, the guide pins are pre-placed in the fourth station as auxiliary materials.

[0102] In this step, station three (the fourth station) is as follows Figure 5b As shown, the main boards and the second CPU board are fixed with screws to obtain the fifth assembly, and the guide pins are installed and tightened. A total of 18 screws are required to install the fifth assembly.

[0103] 304. After the fifth station detects that the fifth component is installed with a light guide column and the panel is placed at a preset position of the fifth component, the fifth component is transferred to the sixth station.

[0104] Among them, the light guide column and the panel can be placed in advance on the fourth station (fifth station) as auxiliary materials. Figure 5c As shown, station four is a station for manual intervention.

[0105] In this step, the light guide column and the panel are manually installed on the fifth component. After the fifth station detects that the fifth component is installed with the light guide column and the panel is placed in the preset position of the fifth component, the fifth component is transferred to the sixth station.

[0106] It should be noted that the operator only needs to place the panel on the fifth component, and the sixth station fixes the panel.

[0107] 305. The sixth station assembles the panel and the fifth component using screws to obtain a sixth component.

[0108] The fifth station (the sixth station) of the embodiment of the present disclosure is as follows Figure 5d As shown, the panel and the fifth component are assembled by automatically grasping screws to obtain the sixth component.

[0109] 306. The eighth station tests the sixth component.

[0110] The sixth station (eighth station) of the embodiment of the present disclosure adopts a two-layer test box structure, such as Figure 5e As shown in the figure, the signal light products can be sent to the upper test line through the elevator, and two different products can be tested at the same time.
