The first adjustment device 1 is provided at the adjustment station. The first adjustment device 1 includes a bearing structure 11 and an adjustment structure 12 provided on one side of the bearing structure 11 in a first horizontal direction. The adjustment structure 12 and the bearing structure 11 can be relatively movable along the first horizontal direction. The bearing structure 11 is used to bear product components, and the adjustment structure 12 is used to adjust the installation angle of the first target component on the product component.

[0043] In the technical solution of the present invention, the assembly system 1000 is at least provided with the adjustment station and the assembly station, the assembly table 2 is provided at the assembly station, and the assembly table 2 is mainly used to carry the product body, the first adjustment device 1 is provided at the adjustment station, the first adjustment device 1 includes the bearing structure 11 and the adjustment structure 12, the bearing structure 11 is used to carry the product parts, the assembly system 1000 is used to automatically assemble the product parts to the product body with high efficiency and high precision, specifically, the adjustment structure 12 is provided on one side of the bearing structure 11, and the adjustment structure 12 is used to adjust the product The installation angle of the first target component on the component, and the second adjusting device 3 is provided on one side of the assembly table 2, and the second adjusting device 3 is used to adjust the installation angle of the second target component on the product body, so that the installation angles of the first target component and the second target component are adapted, and then the product component can be transferred to the installation point on the product body through the first transfer device 4, and the coordinated installation of the first target component and the second target component is completed, and then the automated, efficient and high-precision assembly of the product component and the product body is completed, thereby meeting the functional requirements of the assembly system 1000.

[0044] The specific structural settings of the adjustment structure 12 and the second adjustment device 3 are mainly based on the installation angle adjustment requirements of the first target component and the second target component. If the installation angle adjustment requires posture adjustment in three-dimensional space, a more complex manipulator structure is generally required for operation. In this embodiment, the first target component and the second target component are gear-like structures, and the installation angle can be adjusted by adjusting the gear rotation angle. The adjustment structure 12 and the second adjustment device 3 are configured to be able to drive the first target component and the second target component to rotate around their rotation axes. The structure is relatively simple. Of course, directly configuring the two as manipulator structures for operation can also achieve the desired functions, but it is obvious that the structure is cumbersome and the cost is high. Specifically, see Attachment 1. Figure 3 With attached Figure 4The adjustment structure 12 is configured to include a first rotating shaft 121 and a first sleeve 122 structure sleeved on the output end of the first rotating shaft 121, the first rotating shaft 121 is extended along the first horizontal direction, and the output end of the first rotating shaft 121 is provided with a first matching portion 123, the first matching portion 123 is used to match with the first target component, the first sleeve 122 can be movably sleeved on the first rotating shaft 121 along the axial direction of the first rotating shaft 121, and the first sleeve 122 has an initial state in which the first sleeve 122 sleeves the first matching portion 123 and an adjustment state in which the first matching portion 123 exposes the first sleeve 122 on the movable stroke, and a first elastic reset member 125 is further provided between the first sleeve 122 and the first rotating shaft 121, and the first elastic reset member 125 is used to reset the first sleeve 122 to the initial state. Based on the above structure, when the adjusting structure 12 moves relative to the bearing structure 11 to approach the first target component on the product component, the first sleeve 122 preferentially contacts the first target component, and as the adjusting structure 12 moves relative to the bearing structure 11, the first sleeve 122 moves from the initial state to the adjusting state, and compresses the elastic reset member, so that the first sleeve 122 presses against the first target component for pre-positioning. During this process, the first matching portion 123 gradually exposes the first sleeve 122 to match with the first target component, so that the adjusting structure 12 and the first target component can be stably matched, and the first rotating shaft 121 can drive the first target component to rotate, thereby realizing the installation angle adjustment of the first target component to meet functional requirements. On this basis, the first sleeve 122 is mainly used to pre-position the first target component before the first matching portion 123 matches with the first target component, so as to facilitate the matching of the first matching portion 123 with the first target component. After adjustment, the first sleeve 122 can also be used to stabilize the first target component when the first matching portion 123 is separated from the first target component, so as to avoid the first target component being driven and causing installation angle errors, thereby improving accuracy.

[0045] Further, the structure of the first mating portion 123 may not be limited, as long as it can stably cooperate with the first target component and drive the first target component to rotate. In this embodiment, the first mating portion 123 includes a first positioning post 1231 and a first limiting post 1232 located on one side of the first positioning post 1231. The first positioning post 1231 is coaxially arranged with the first rotating shaft 121, and the first limiting post 1232 is used to cooperate with the limiting portion on the first target component. The first positioning post 1231 is mainly used to position the first target component so that its rotation axis coincides with the rotation axis of the first rotating shaft 121, ensuring the relative accuracy of the rotation of the first rotating shaft 121 driving the first target component. The first limiting post 1232 is arranged on one side of the first positioning post 1231, and it is mainly used to cooperate with the limiting portion on the first target component, thereby driving the first target component to rotate with the first rotating shaft 121. With such an arrangement, there will be no relative movement between the first limiting post 1232 and the limiting portion on the first target component, thus ensuring the accuracy of the rotation of the first rotating shaft 121 driving the first target component, and thereby ensuring the adjustment accuracy of the installation angle of the first target component by the adjustment structure 12, meeting the high-precision assembly requirements of the assembly system 1000.

[0046] It can be understood that the first positioning post 1231 is mainly used to position the first target component so that its rotation axis coincides with the rotation axis of the first rotating shaft 121. In this embodiment, the inner diameter of the first positioning post 1231 is gradually decreased in the direction away from the first rotating shaft 121 to form a guiding structure. When the first positioning post 1231 extends to the first target component, it can guide the first target component to coincide with the axis of the first rotating shaft 121, with a simple structure and good effect.

[0047] In addition, one of the first sleeve 122 and the first rotating shaft 121 is provided with a first limiting groove 1221 extending along the first horizontal direction, and the other of the first sleeve 122 and the first rotating shaft 121 is provided with a first limiting protrusion 1214, and the first limiting protrusion 1214 extends into the first limiting groove 1221 to limit the range of motion of the first sleeve 122 relative to the first rotating shaft 121. The first sleeve 122 is sleeved on the first rotating shaft 121, and the first elastic reset member 125 is provided between the first sleeve 122 and the first rotating shaft 121. Here, the first elastic reset member 125 can be connected to the first sleeve 122 and the first rotating shaft 121, so that the first elastic reset member 125 can also be used to limit the first sleeve 122 from escaping from the first rotating shaft 121. However, it is obviously more complicated to connect the first elastic reset member 125 with the first sleeve 122 and the first rotating shaft 121, and it is not ruled out that the connection is not firm. To reduce the risk of the first sleeve 122 slipping off the first rotating shaft 121, in this embodiment, a matching structure of the first limiting groove 1221 and the first limiting protrusion 1214 is additionally provided between the first sleeve 122 and the first rotating shaft 121, so that the movable stroke of the first sleeve 122 relative to the first rotating shaft 121 is limited by the movable stroke of the first limiting protrusion 1214 in the first limiting groove 1221. The structure has good stability and there is no need to connect the first elastic return member 125 to the first sleeve 122 and the first rotating shaft 121, which facilitates installation operation.

[0048] Specifically, in the process of the adjustment structure 12 being relatively close to the first target component, it is not ruled out that after the first matching portion 123 is pressed against the first target component, the adjustment structure 12 continues to move close to the first target component, which may easily cause the first target component to be offset or even damaged. Therefore, in this embodiment, the first rotating shaft 121 is configured to include a first connecting section 1211 and a first driving section 1212, and the first driving section 1212 can be movably installed on the first connecting section 1211 along a first horizontal direction, and a first elastic member 1213 is arranged between the first driving section 1212 and the first connecting section 1211, and the first matching portion 123 and the first sleeve 122 are arranged at the driving end of the first driving section 1212. By setting the first rotating shaft 121 in sections and setting the first elastic member 1213 between the first connecting section 1211 and the first driving section 1212, a buffer of a certain distance is provided between the first connecting section 1211 and the first driving section 1212, thereby avoiding the situation where the first target component is damaged due to excessive movement of the above-mentioned adjustment structure 12, improving the fault tolerance of the movable distance of the adjustment structure 12, and improving the reliability of the adjustment structure 12 in adjusting the installation angle of the first target component.

[0049] It can be understood that the first connecting section 1211 is used to connect the power source, and in order to ensure the rotation accuracy of the first rotating shaft 121, the first driving section 1212 needs to be coaxially arranged with the first connecting section 1211, so in this embodiment, the end of the first connecting section 1211 is provided with a first receiving groove 1211a extending along the first horizontal direction, the first driving section 1212 is extended into the first receiving groove 1211a, and the first elastic member 1213 is arranged between the bottom of the first receiving groove 1211a and the first driving section 1212. It can be understood here that the first receiving groove 1211a can also be opened in the first driving section 1212, and the first connecting section 1211 is extended into the first driving section 1212, but the first connecting section 1211 is used as the upstream structure of power transmission, and its size is set larger than the size of the first driving section 1212, so that the structure of the first rotating shaft 121 can be more coordinated and stable.

[0050] Furthermore, similar to the structure in which the first sleeve 122 is movably arranged on the first rotating shaft 121, in order to prevent the first driving section 1212 from moving out of the first connecting section 1211, the present embodiment further provides a second limiting groove 1211b extending along the first horizontal direction on one of the groove wall of the first accommodating groove 1211a and the first driving section 1212, and a second limiting protrusion 1212a is provided on the groove wall of the first accommodating groove 1211a and the other of the first driving section 1212, and the second limiting protrusion 1212a extends into the second limiting groove 1211b to limit the movable range of the first driving section 1212 in the first accommodating groove 1211a.

[0051] Based on the segmented structure of the first rotating shaft 121 described above, the specific setting position of the first elastic reset member 125 is defined in this embodiment. Specifically, the first elastic reset member 125 is sleeved on the first driving section 1212, and one end of the first elastic reset member 125 abuts against the end of the first connecting section 1211, and the other end of the first elastic reset member 125 abuts against the first sleeve 122. In this way, the end surface formed by the first receiving groove 1211a on the first connecting section 1211 and located outside the first receiving groove 1211a abuts against the first elastic reset member 125, without the need to set an additional abutting surface, and the structure is ingenious and convenient for installation.

[0052] It should be noted here that the coaxial setting method between the first connecting section 1211 and the first driving section 1212 is to set the first accommodating groove 1211a for sleeve arrangement, and the connection between the first connecting section 1211 and the power source also needs to ensure the connection accuracy, so a corresponding positioning structure can also be set between the power source and the first connecting section 1211, but the power source is generally a mature product, which is not convenient for structural changes, and the general power source adopts a connection method that is easy to disassemble, which is more convenient for later overall maintenance. Therefore, in this embodiment, the power source and the first connecting section 1211 are connected through a coupling, so that there is no need to align the rotating shaft of the power source with the rotating axis of the first connecting section 1211, and the rotation accuracy of the first connecting section 1211 can also be guaranteed. Moreover, the connection through a coupling is easier to disassemble and meet the above requirements.

[0053] The above is the detailed structural setting of the adjustment structure 12 proposed in the present application. The present application does not specifically limit the structural setting of the second adjustment device 3. It is sufficient that the installation angle of the second target component on the product body can be adjusted. In this embodiment, the structure of the second adjustment device 3 is set to be equivalent to the adjustment structure 12, that is, the second adjustment device 3 includes a second rotating shaft formed by the second connecting section and the second driving section, and a second elastic member is also provided between the second connecting section and the second driving section. A second accommodating groove is also provided on the second connecting section to accommodate the second driving section, and a third limiting groove and a third limiting convex portion that cooperate with each other are provided between the groove wall of the second accommodating groove and the second driving section to prevent the second connecting section from being separated from the second driving section. Further, a second sleeve and a second matching portion are provided at the driving end of the second driving section, a second elastic reset member is provided between the second sleeve and the second connecting section, and a fourth limiting groove and a fourth limiting convex portion that cooperate with each other are provided between the second sleeve and the second driving section to prevent the second sleeve from being separated from the second driving section. It should be noted here that the structure of the second matching portion is consistent with the function of the first matching portion 123, but the structure is not exactly the same, which depends on the specific structural details of the second target component. However, in this embodiment, the main structure is basically the same, that is, the second matching portion is configured as a second positioning column and a second limiting column located on one side of the second positioning column, so as to achieve matching with the second target component, and then drive the second target component to rotate to adjust the installation angle of the second target component to meet functional requirements.

[0054] In addition, when the product component is placed on the bearing structure 11, the installation angle of the first target component on the product component cannot be determined, so a visual inspection device 124 is also provided in this embodiment to obtain the installation angle of the first target component around the first horizontal direction axis through the visual inspection device 124, so as to obtain the adjustment amount of the first target component to ensure the adjustment accuracy. In addition, the visual inspection device 124 can also be provided at the second adjustment device 3 to obtain the installation angle of the second target component, but in this embodiment, when the second target component is installed on the product body, its installation angle can be determined, so there is no need to obtain the real-time installation angle, only the installation angle of the second target component pre-stored in the system is compared with the final installation angle of the first target component, and the installation angle adjustment amount of the second target component can be obtained to adjust the installation angle of the second target component accordingly. Of course, the additional setting of a visual inspection device 124 can better ensure accuracy, but the cost increases, so this application is not limited here, and it is selected whether to set another visual inspection device 124 to detect the installation angle of the second target component according to actual needs to meet the functional requirements.

[0055] In addition, the bearing structure 11 is used to limit the product component to ensure the accuracy of the first target component during adjustment. Figure 5 , a mounting groove 111 is provided on the bearing structure 11, and a movable limiting member 112 is provided at the notch of the mounting groove 111. The mounting groove 111 is used to accommodate the product component. The limiting member 112 has a limiting position extending into the notch of the mounting groove 111 and a disengaging position away from the notch of the mounting groove 111 in its movable travel. The limiting member 112 located at the limiting position is used to limit the product component from escaping from the mounting groove 111. In this way, the circumferential movement of the product component is limited by the mounting groove 111, and the movably arranged limiting member 112 is used to avoid the product component when placing the product component. After the product component is placed in the mounting groove 111, the product component is placed at the notch of the mounting groove 111 to limit the product component, so as to prevent the product component from escaping from the mounting groove 111, thereby ensuring the stability of the limiting position of the product component on the bearing structure 11.

[0056] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the rotation axis of the first target component and the second target component is along the first horizontal direction, and in order to facilitate the placement of the product component, the product component is placed in the installation groove 111 of the supporting structure 11 along the up and down directions. Based on this, in this embodiment, the supporting structure 11 needs to be rotationally adjusted, that is, the supporting structure 11 needs to be rotationally set around the second horizontal axis, so that the supporting structure 11 has an adjustment position in which the installation groove 111 is facing the adjustment structure 12, and a bearing position in which the installation groove 111 is facing upward in the rotation stroke.

[0057] In addition, the action of placing the product components on the bearing structure 11 in this embodiment is also automatically completed by the assembly system 1000. Specifically, a loading station is also provided on the assembly system 1000, and the assembly system 1000 also includes a second transfer device 5. The second transfer device 5 is provided between the loading station and the adjustment station to transfer the product components at the loading station to the bearing structure 11 at the adjustment station. That is, the product components are transferred to the installation slot 111 placed on the bearing structure 11 by the second transfer device 5, so as to realize automatic loading. Based on this, if the size of the installation groove 111 is set close to the product component to ensure the positioning of the product component, the placement accuracy of the second transfer device 5 is required to be higher. When the size of the installation groove 111 is set to be larger than the product component to reduce the placement accuracy of the second transfer device 5, the positioning accuracy of the product component by the installation groove 111 will be reduced. In this regard, in this embodiment, a first clamping structure 113 is further provided in the installation groove 111. The first clamping structure 113 is used to clamp and fix the product component. When the second transfer device 5 places the product component, the first clamping structure 113 opens to reduce the required placement accuracy of the second transfer device 5. After the product component is placed in the installation groove 111, the first clamping structure 113 is controlled to clamp the product component to ensure the positioning accuracy of the product component and meet functional requirements.

[0058] In addition, the specific structural arrangement of the first transfer device 4 and the second transfer device 5 is not specifically limited in this application, as long as the transfer function can be realized. Figure 6The first transfer device 4 includes a second clamping structure, which is used to pick up product components. The second clamping structure includes a plurality of clamping claws 41 and an elastic abutment 42. A hook 411 is provided at the lower end of the clamping claw 41. The elastic abutment 42 and the hook 411 are arranged opposite to each other in the up-down direction to respectively abut the upper and lower end faces of the product component. When the second clamping structure clamps the product component, the plurality of clamping claws 41 are first opened to avoid the product component. When the product component extends between the plurality of clamping claws 41 and its upper end face abuts the elastic abutment 42, the plurality of clamping claws 41 are closed again to place the hook 411 on the lower end face of the product component. At this time, due to the elastic force of the elastic abutment 42, the product component is clamped between the elastic abutment 42 and the hook 411 to ensure stability during the transfer process. In addition, in this embodiment, the structure of the second transfer device 5 is equivalent to that of the first transfer device 4, but based on the rotation setting of the supporting structure 11, that is, when the first transfer device 4 and the second transfer device 5 transfer the product component, the posture of the product component is different. Therefore, after the second transfer device 5 is set to the third clamping structure, the hook portion 411 on its clamping claw 41 is in a different position from the hook portion 411 on the second clamping structure, which is based on the position of the part that can be clamped when the product component is in different postures.

[0059] In addition, see Appendix Figure 7 The assembly table 2 for placing the product body has been described above, and in order to prevent the product body from moving on the assembly table 2, the present embodiment further provides a pressing component 21 on the assembly table 2, and the pressing component 21 includes a pressing portion that can be movably arranged up and down, and the pressing portion is used to press downward to fix the product body, so as to ensure the stable positioning of the product body on the assembly table 2, so as to ensure the accuracy of the product components when being assembled to the product body.

[0060] The above description is only an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the technical concept of the present invention, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
