[0034] The picking module 2 is used to pick up the fixed part and adjust its posture and transfer it to the preset position according to the position information obtained by the capturing module 1. The function of the picking module 2 is to pick up the material by adsorption and then place it at the preset position.

[0035] The glue dispensing module 3 is used to dispense glue at a preset position before the pick-up module 2 picks up the part to be fixed and transfers it to the preset position. The glue dispensed at the output port of the glue dispensing module 3 may be a light-curing glue. When working, the glue dispensing module 3 draws lines or dispenses glue at the preset glue dispensing position under the guidance of the visual position provided by the capture module 1, and can dispense glue accurately.

[0036] It also includes a driving module 4, which is connected to the capture module 1, the picking module 2 and the glue dispensing module 3, and is used to drive the capture module 1 or the picking module 2 or the glue dispensing module 3 to move.

When working, under the visual guidance of the capture module 1, the driving module 4 drives the picking module 2 to determine the initial position of the material to be installed, and then picks it up. After picking up, the capture module 1 obtains the position of the workpiece to be installed at the position to be fixed, and obtains the position of the material when picking up. According to the comparison of the results of the three positions, the posture of the material after picking up is adjusted, and finally before being accurately placed at the specified position, glue is applied using the glue dispensing module 3, and the material is placed at the specified position.
