[0056] It should be noted that when the position adjustment component 410 drives the second adsorption component 430 to move to the protective cover supply module 100, the second rotation driver 433 can drive the second adsorption block 434 to rotate around the vertical axis so that the second adsorption surface can adapt to the back of the protective cover 10 in the horizontal direction. Then, the second vertical driver 431 can drive the second adsorption block 434 to perform a lifting movement so that the second adsorption surface approaches and adsorbs the back of the tape strip 20.

[0057] In order to enable the second adsorption component 430 to better adsorb the protective cover 10 , in a further embodiment of the present invention, the second adsorption surface is configured to be a long strip that matches the shape of the adhesive tape strip 20 .

The fourth vertical drive is connected to the second supporting plate and is used to drive the second supporting plate to perform lifting and lowering movements in the second accommodating cavity. The second conveying structure includes two second conveyor belts arranged in parallel along the front-to-back direction. The second conveyor belts extend in the left-to-right direction, and the left end of the second conveyor belt extends into the second accommodating cavity. The right end of the second conveying structure forms a receiving end 120a.

[0065] Furthermore, when the conveying rail 130 is connected at the receiving end 120a, the unloaded material tray on the conveying rail 130 can be conveyed to the second conveyor belt, and can be conveyed to the left along the second conveyor belt into the second accommodating cavity, and carried on the second supporting plate. Then, the fourth vertical drive can drive the second supporting plate to move downward to wait for receiving the next unloaded material tray.

[0066] In some embodiments of the present invention, the tape strip supply module 200 includes a storage roller 210, a pulling component 220 and a cutting component 230. The storage roller 210 stores tape. The pulling component 220 is arranged on the moving path of the tape and is used to pull the tape to move. The cutting component 230 is arranged on the moving path of the tape and is used to cut the tape into a fixed length to form a tape strip 20.

[0067] For example, Figure 8 As shown, the storage roller 210, the cutting assembly 230 and the material pulling assembly 220 are sequentially arranged from right to left, the material pulling assembly 220 includes a first clamping structure 221 and a sixth driving structure 222, and the cutting assembly 230 includes a seventh driving structure and a cutter. The sixth driving structure 222 can drive the first clamping structure 221 to move rightward so that the first clamping structure 221 approaches and clamps the end of the tape, and then the sixth driving structure 222 can drive the first clamping structure 221 to move leftward so as to pull the tape to move to the left by a preset distance, and then the seventh driving structure can drive the cutter to cut the tape to form a tape strip 20.

[0068] In a further embodiment of the present invention, reference Figure 8 The tape strip supply module 200 also includes a guide component 240 and a bearing component 250. The guide component 240 is arranged between the cutting component 230 and the storage roller 210; the guide component 240 includes a second clamping structure 241 and a plurality of guide rollers 242 distributed along the left and right sides, and the second clamping structure 241 is arranged on the left side of the guide roller 242; the bearing component 250 is arranged on the left side of the cutting component 230, and the bearing component 250 includes a fifth vertical driver 251 and a bearing block 252. The fifth vertical driver 251 is connected to the bearing block 252 and is used to drive the bearing block 252 to perform lifting and lowering movements.

[0069] When the tape strip supply module 200 of the present invention is working, the guide roller 242 can guide the tape on the storage roller 210 to the second clamping structure 241, and then the sixth driving structure 222 can drive the first clamping structure 221 to the right close to the second clamping structure 241, and make the first clamping structure 221 clamp the end of the tape, and then the sixth driving structure 222 can drive the first clamping structure 221 to move to the left to move the pulled tape a preset distance, and then the second clamping structure 241 can clamp the tape, and the fifth vertical drive 251 can drive the supporting block 252 to move upward to abut against the lower surface of the tape, and then the seventh driving structure can drive the tool to cut the tape to form a tape strip 20, and the formed tape strip 20 can be carried on the supporting block 252 to wait for the assembly module 400 to grab it, and at the same time, the first clamping structure 221 releases the tape strip 20 to wait for the next clamping of the end of the tape at the second clamping structure 241.

[0070] It is understandable that the second clamping structure 241 is configured so that the second clamping structure 241 can cooperate with the first clamping structure 221 to clamp and fix the tape, so as to reduce the probability of the tape moving during the cutting process of the cutting assembly 230 .

[0071] It can be understood that the configuration of the supporting assembly 250 enables the supporting block 252 to support the tape strip 20 cut from the tape, so as to facilitate the subsequent assembly module 400 to grasp it; at the same time, since the fifth vertical driver 251 can drive the supporting block 252 to perform lifting and lowering movements, before the sixth driving structure 222 drives the first clamping structure 221 to move to the right, the fifth vertical driver 251 can drive the supporting block 252 to move downward to avoid the first clamping structure 221.

[0072] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 3 The third adsorption component 440 includes a mounting frame 441, a first driver 442, an adsorption member 443 and a pressing structure 444. The adsorption member 443 and the pressing structure 444 are both arranged on the mounting frame 441. The adsorption member 443 can adsorb the back side of the protective cover 10 in the protective member. The first driver 442 is connected to the mounting frame 441 and is used to drive the mounting frame 441 to perform lifting and lowering movements so that the protective cover 10 adsorbed by the adsorption member 443 is buckled on the cable 31 of the product 30. The pressing structure 444 is used to press the edge of the tape strip 20 and stick it to the surface of the product 30.

[0073] It should be noted that when the assembly module 400 is working, under the drive of the position adjustment component 410, the third adsorption component 440 can be moved to the transfer platform 500, and under the drive of the first driver 442, the mounting frame 441 can be lowered to approach the transfer platform 500, so that the adsorption member 443 approaches and adsorbs the area on the back of the protective cover 10 of the protective member on the transfer platform 500 where the tape strip 20 is not adhered. Then, the first driver 442 can drive the mounting frame 441 to rise, so that the adsorption member 443 drives the protective member to move upward to leave the transfer platform. Platform 500, then, the position adjustment component 410 can drive the third adsorption component 440 to move to the product supply module 300, and then, the first driver 442 can drive the mounting frame 441 to move downward, so that the adsorption component 443 drives the protective component downward to approach the cable 31 on the product 30, until the protective cover 10 is buckled on the cable 31 of the product 30, and then, the pressing structure 444 can press the edge of the tape strip 20 so that the edge of the tape strip 20 is attached to the surface of the product 30 to complete the fixation of the protective cover 10 on the product 30.

[0074] It is understandable that if the adsorbent 443 directly adsorbs the tape strip 20 of the protective member, when the adhesive strength between the tape strip 20 and the protective cover 10 is relatively low, the protective cover 10 is easily separated from the tape strip 20 under the action of gravity. In this embodiment, the adsorbent 443 can adsorb the area on the back of the protective cover 10 of the protective member on the transfer platform 500 where the tape strip 20 is not adhered, thereby reducing the probability of separation between the protective cover 10 and the tape strip 20, so that the adsorbent 443 can adsorb the protective member more firmly.

[0075] It can be understood that since the third adsorption component 440 includes a pressing structure 444, after the assembly module 400 buckles the protective cover 10 of the protective member onto the cable 31 of the product 30, the pressing structure 444 can immediately adhere the edge of the tape strip 20 to the product 30 to complete the fixation of the protective cover 10 on the product 30.

[0076] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The pressing structure 444 includes a second driver 444a, a connecting frame 444b and a plurality of pressing members 444c. The plurality of pressing members 444c are all arranged on the connecting frame 444b and are circumferentially spaced around the adsorption member 443. The second driver 444a is connected to the connecting frame 444b and is used to drive the connecting frame 444b to perform a lifting movement so that the pressing members 444c can press the edge of the tape strip 20 downward.

[0077] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , it can be understood that the tape strip 20 is long and strip-shaped, and in the protective member, the middle part of the tape strip 20 is pasted on the back of the protective cover 10; the pressing structure 444 includes two pressing members 444c, and the two pressing members 444c are respectively located on the horizontal opposite sides of the adsorption member 443. When the adsorption member 443 adsorbs the area on the back of the protective cover 10 where the tape strip 20 is not pasted, since the two pressing members 444c are respectively located on the horizontal opposite sides of the adsorption member 443, the opposite ends of the tape strip 20 can be just located directly below the two pressing members 444c. After the assembly module 400 buckles the protective cover 10 on the cable 31 of the product 30, under the drive of the second driver 444a, the connecting frame 444b can simultaneously drive the two pressing members 444c to move downward, so that the two pressing members 444c respectively squeeze the opposite ends of the tape strip 20 downward, so that the opposite ends of the tape strip 20 are respectively pasted on the surface of the product 30.

[0078] In a further embodiment of the present invention, reference Figure 4 The pressing structure 444 also includes two elastic buffer members 444d, and the two pressing members 444c are respectively installed on the connecting frame 444b through the two elastic buffer members 444d.

[0079] It should be noted that if the two pressing pieces 444c are not at the same horizontal height, in this case, after the second driver 444a drives the connecting frame 444b to move downward, when one of the pressing pieces 444c drives one end of the tape strip 20 to fit the product 30, the connecting frame 444b will find it difficult to continue moving downward, and at this time, the other pressing piece 444c is unable to drive the other end of the tape strip 20 to fit the product 30.

[0080] It can be understood that, in this embodiment, since the pressing member 444c is connected to the connecting frame 444b through the elastic buffer member 444d, when one of the pressing members 444c drives one end of the tape strip 20 to fit with the product 30, the connecting frame 444b can continue to descend under the drive of the second driver 444a, so that the other pressing member 444c can continue to drive the other end of the tape strip 20 to fit with the product 30.

[0081] In some embodiments of the present invention, a first adsorption hole for adsorbing the back side of the adhesive tape strip 20 is formed on the lower end surface of the pressing member 444 c.

[0082] It can be understood that, since the lower end surface of the pressing piece 444c is provided with a first adsorption hole, the adsorption piece 443 can adsorb the protective cover 10 when the assembly module 400 is transporting the protective piece, and the two pressing pieces 444c can adsorb the opposite ends of the tape strip 20, so that the assembly module 400 can transport the protective piece more stably; at the same time, since the opposite ends of the tape strip 20 are not adhered to the protective cover 10, the opposite ends of the tape strip 20 are movable ends, and the opposite ends of the tape strip 20 are adsorbed and fixed by the pressing piece 444c, the probability of the opposite ends of the tape strip 20 adhering to the protective cover 10 due to external force can be reduced.

[0083] In order to enable the third adsorption component 440 to more stably adsorb the protective part, in some embodiments of the present invention, the lower end surface of the adsorption part 443 is provided with a suction head and a second adsorption hole, the suction head is used to adsorb the area on the back of the protective cover 10 where no tape is pasted, and the second adsorption hole is used to adsorb the middle part of the tape strip 20.

[0084] In some embodiments of the present invention, in order to improve the working efficiency of the assembly module 400, the third adsorption assembly 440 is provided with a plurality of Figure 3 In the figure, two third adsorption components 440 are provided for example.

[0085] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 1The protective cover pasting assembly machine also includes a detection module 600, which is electrically connected to the assembly module 400 and is used to detect the posture of the protective part grasped by the assembly module 400. The assembly module 400 can assemble the protective part on the product 30 according to the detection result of the detection module 600.

[0086] It should be noted that after the assembly module 400 grabs the protective part from the transfer platform 500, the assembly module 400 can move the protective part to the detection module 600, and the detection module 600 will detect the protective part to detect whether the assembly between the tape strip 20 and the protective cover 10 is qualified, and the detection module 600 can detect the position and angle of the adhesion of the protective cover 10 on the tape strip 20. When the detection module 600 detects that the assembly between the tape strip 20 and the protective cover 10 is qualified, the assembly module 400 can move the protective part to the product supply module 300. At this time, the assembly module 400 can accurately buckle the protective cover 10 on the cable 31 of the product 30 according to the detection result of the detection module 600.

[0087] It is understandable that by providing the detection module 600 , the detection module 600 can perform visual inspection on the protective component, so that the assembly module 400 can more accurately buckle the protective cover 10 onto the flat cable 31 of the product 30 .

[0088] In a further embodiment of the present invention, the detection module 600 includes a CCD camera, and the CCD camera is used to take pictures of the protective member from bottom to top to obtain visual information of the protective member.

[0089] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 1 and Fig. 9 The product supply module 300 includes a first detection component 320 and a product conveying line 310. A product positioning area 311 is provided on the product conveying line 310. The first detection component 320 is arranged on one side of the product positioning area 311 and is electrically connected to the assembly module 400. The first detection component 320 can detect the position of the cable 31 of the product 30 in the product positioning area 311. The assembly module 400 can assemble the protective part on the product 30 in the product positioning area 311 according to the detection result of the first detection component 320.

[0090] It should be noted that the conveyor line can convey the product 30 to the product positioning area 311, and then the first detection component 320 can detect the position of the cable 31 on the product 30 in the product positioning area 311, and transmit the position information of the cable 31 to the assembly module 400. Then, the assembly module 400 can accurately buckle the protective cover 10 on the cable 31 of the product 30 according to the detection information of the first detection component 320.

[0091] In a further embodiment of the present invention, reference Figure 1 The product supply module 300 also includes a code scanning component 330 and a second detection component 340. The code scanning component 330 is arranged at the front side of the product positioning area 311 along the conveying direction of the conveyor line. The code scanning component 330 is used to scan the product 30. The second detection component 340 is arranged at the rear side of the product positioning area 311 along the conveying direction of the conveyor line. The second detection component 340 is used to detect the protective parts assembled on the product 30 to determine whether the assembly of the protective parts on the product 30 is qualified.

[0092] The assembly method provided in the second embodiment of the present invention is applied to the cable protection cover pasting assembly machine provided in the first embodiment of the present invention. The assembly method includes but is not limited to the following steps:

[0093] Step S100, providing a protective cover 10, a tape strip 20 and a product 30 respectively through the protective cover supply module 100, the tape strip supply module 200 and the product supply module 300;

[0094] Step S200, attaching the middle portion of the tape strip 20 to the back side of the protective cover 10 through the assembly module 400 to form a protective member;

[0095] Step S300 , the protective cover 10 of the protective member is buckled onto the flat cable 31 of the product 30 through the assembly module 400 , and the edge of the adhesive tape strip 20 of the protective member is adhered to the surface of the product 30 to complete the assembly of the protective member on the product 30 .

[0096] It can be understood that the protective cover 10, the adhesive tape strip 20 and the product 30 are provided respectively by the protective cover supply module 100, the adhesive tape strip 20 and the product supply module 300, and then the middle part of the adhesive tape strip 20 is pasted on the back of the protective cover 10 by the assembly module 400 to form a protective member, and then the protective cover 10 of the protective member is buckled on the cable 31 of the product 30 by the assembly module 400, and the edge of the adhesive tape strip 20 of the protective member is pasted on the surface of the product 30 to complete the assembly of the protective member on the product 30. Since the adhesive tape strip 20 can be pasted on the back of the protective cover 10 in advance, after the protective cover 10 is buckled on the product 30, there is no need to use a robot to press the protective cover 10 for a long time, and the protective cover 10 can be assembled on the product 30 more conveniently.

[0097] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
