Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of modular factories, and in particular to a modular workstation and an integrated production line system. Background Art

[0002] Traditional product assembly processes are usually performed by dedicated equipment, which usually has specific functions and assembly tasks. The operation can be performed manually by operators or autonomously by robot actuators or similar equipment. These devices are usually designed specifically for one or several products, and often require a lot of cost in design and processing. After these devices are processed, they can usually only be used for limited purposes in the early stage, and it is difficult to further improve or perfect them.

[0003] Therefore, traditional equipment is usually unable to be reconfigured or re-modified for different assembly operations or the assembly of different products. Even if some modules or parts of these equipment can be recycled, disassembly, refurbishment and reconfiguration also require a lot of manpower and material resources, and may affect the quality and reliability of the parts. In addition, the recycled parts or modules usually need to be redesigned and modified to adapt to the use requirements of new equipment. Therefore, a flexible and repeatable assembly platform is needed to improve and reconfigure the equipment with minimal cost and workload. Summary of the invention

The corner connector 50 can realize communication connection while realizing the interconnection of the base 10, the workbench 20 and the bridge 30. The overall connection process is faster and the workload of assembly is reduced. The control module 11 can realize communication control and data exchange with the active electronic device 40 and other workstations, realizing the integration of communication control. When improving or reconfiguring the equipment, it is only necessary to replace different forms of workbenches 20 or different types of active electronic devices 40 according to actual needs.
