Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this invention.

[0040] In the assembly process of many electronic products, there are gear transmission mechanisms. However, the assembly space of some products may be small, and specific gear meshing positions are required, making assembly difficult. Generally, manual operation is required, resulting in low efficiency and low precision, which does not meet the needs of automated production.

[0041] In view of this, the present invention proposes an assembly system, please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1 to 7 The following is an embodiment of the assembly system proposed in this application, and the assembly system will be described in detail below with reference to the specific drawings.

[0042] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2The assembly system 1000 is equipped with an adjustment station and an assembly station. The assembly system 1000 includes a first adjustment device 1, an assembly table 2, a second adjustment device 3, and a first transfer device 4. The first adjustment device 1 is located at the adjustment station and includes a support structure 11 and an adjustment structure 12 disposed on one side of the support structure 11 in a first horizontal direction. The adjustment structure 12 and the support structure 11 are movably arranged relative to each other along the first horizontal direction. The support structure 11 is used to support product components, and the adjustment structure 12 is used to adjust the installation angle of a first target component on the product component. The assembly table 2 is disposed at the assembly station and is used to support the main body of the product. The second adjustment device 3 is disposed on one side of the assembly table 2 in the first horizontal direction. The second adjustment device 3 can move closer to or further away from the assembly table 2 in the first horizontal direction and is used to adjust the installation angle of the second target component on the main body of the product. The first transfer device 4 is disposed between the adjustment station and the assembly station and is used to transfer the product component on the supporting structure 11 to the installation point on the main body of the product at the assembly table 2 so that the first target component and the second target component can cooperate.

[0043] In the technical solution of the present invention, the assembly system 1000 is provided with at least the adjustment station and the assembly station. The assembly table 2 is disposed at the assembly station and is mainly used to support the product body. The first adjustment device 1 is disposed at the adjustment station. The first adjustment device 1 includes the support structure 11 and the adjustment structure 12. The support structure 11 is used to support the product component. The assembly system 1000 is used to automatically assemble the product component to the product body with high efficiency and high precision. Specifically, the adjustment structure 12 is disposed on one side of the support structure 11 and is used to adjust the product body. The installation angle of the first target component on the assembly table 2 is adjusted by a second adjustment device 3 on one side. The second adjustment 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 matched. Then, the product component can be transferred to the installation point on the product body by the first transfer device 4 to complete the matching installation of the first target component and the second target component. This completes the automated, efficient and high-precision assembly of the product component and the product body, meeting the functional requirements of the assembly system 1000.

[0044] The specific structural configuration of the adjustment structure 12 and the second adjustment device 3 is primarily 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 relatively complex robotic arm structure is generally required for operation. However, 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. Therefore, the adjustment structure 12 and the second adjustment device 3 can be configured to drive the first target component and the second target component to rotate around their axis, resulting in a relatively simple structure. Of course, directly configuring both of them as a robotic arm structure can also achieve the required function, but obviously, the structure is cumbersome and costly. For details, please refer to the appendix. Figure 3 With appendix Figure 4The adjustment structure 12 is configured to include a first rotating shaft 121 and a first sleeve 122 sleeved on the output end of the first rotating shaft 121. The first rotating shaft 121 extends along a first horizontal direction, and the output end of the first rotating shaft 121 is provided with a first mating part 123. The first mating part 123 is used to mate with a 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. During the active stroke of the first sleeve 122, there is an initial state in which the first sleeve 122 sleeves the first mating part 123, and an adjusted state in which the first mating part 123 is exposed on the first sleeve 122. A first elastic reset member 125 is also provided between the first sleeve 122 and the first rotating shaft 121. 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 supporting structure 11 to approach the first target component on the product component, the first sleeve 122 preferentially contacts the first target component. As the adjusting structure 12 moves relative to the supporting structure 11, the first sleeve 122 moves from the initial state to the adjusted state and compresses the elastic reset member, thereby causing the first sleeve 122 to press against the first target component for pre-positioning. During this process, the first mating part 123 gradually exposes the first sleeve 122 to mate with the first target component, thus ensuring a stable mating between the adjusting structure 12 and the first target component. The rotation of the first rotating shaft 121 can drive the first target component to rotate, thereby adjusting the installation angle of the first target component and meeting functional requirements. Based on this, the first sleeve 122 is mainly used to pre-position the first target component before the first mating part 123 mates with the first target component, so as to facilitate the mating of the first mating part 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 mating part 123 disengages from the first target component, so as to avoid the first target component being driven and causing installation angle error, thereby improving accuracy.

[0045] Furthermore, the structure of the first mating part 123 is not 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 part 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 part 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 rotation shaft 121, ensuring the relative accuracy of the rotation of the first rotation shaft 121 driving the first target component to rotate. The first limiting post 1232 is disposed on one side of the first positioning post 1231, and is mainly used to cooperate with the limiting part on the first target component, thereby driving the first target component to rotate with the first rotation shaft 121. With this arrangement, there will be no relative movement between the first limiting post 1232 and the limiting part on the first target component, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the rotation of the first rotation shaft 121 driving the first target component to rotate, thus ensuring the adjustment accuracy of the installation angle of the first target component by the adjustment structure 12, and meeting the high-precision assembly requirements of the assembly system 1000.

[0046] It is 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 rotation shaft 121. In this embodiment, the inner diameter of the first positioning post 1231 is gradually reduced in the direction away from the first rotation shaft 121 to form a guide 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 rotation shaft 121. The structure is simple and the effect is good.

[0047] Furthermore, one of the first sleeve 122 and the first rotating shaft 121 is provided with a first limiting groove 1221 extending along a 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. 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 a 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 disengaging from the first rotating shaft 121. However, it is obviously cumbersome to connect the first elastic reset member 125 to the first sleeve 122 and the first rotating shaft 121, and it cannot be ruled out that the connection is not secure. To mitigate the risk of the first sleeve 122 dislodging from the first rotating shaft 121, this embodiment additionally provides a mating structure between the first sleeve 122 and the first rotating shaft 121, consisting of the first limiting groove 1221 and the first limiting protrusion 1214. This structure limits the movement of the first sleeve 122 relative to the first rotating shaft 121 by the movement of the first limiting protrusion 1214 within the first limiting groove 1221. This results in a stable structure and eliminates the need to connect the first elastic reset member 125 to the first sleeve 122 and the first rotating shaft 121, facilitating installation and operation.

[0048] Specifically, during the process of the adjustment structure 12 moving closer to the first target component, it is possible that after the first mating part 123 presses against the first target component, the adjustment structure 12 continues to move closer to the first target component. This could easily cause the first target component to shift or even be 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. The first driving section 1212 can be movably installed on the first connecting section 1211 along the first horizontal direction, and a first elastic element 1213 is provided between the first driving section 1212 and the first connecting section 1211. The first mating part 123 and the first sleeve 122 are provided at the driving end of the first driving section 1212. By segmenting the first rotating shaft 121 and placing the first elastic element 1213 between the first connecting segment 1211 and the first driving segment 1212, a certain buffer distance is provided between the first connecting segment 1211 and the first driving segment 1212. This avoids damage to the first target component caused by excessive movement of the aforementioned adjustment structure 12, increases the tolerance of the movement distance of the adjustment structure 12, and improves the reliability of the adjustment structure 12 in adjusting the installation angle of the first target component.

[0049] It is understood that the first connecting segment 1211 is used to connect the power source. To ensure the rotational accuracy of the first rotating shaft 121, the first driving segment 1212 needs to be coaxially arranged with the first connecting segment 1211. Therefore, in this embodiment, a first receiving groove 1211a extending along the first horizontal direction is provided at the end of the first connecting segment 1211. The first driving segment 1212 extends into the first receiving groove 1211a, and the first elastic member 1213 is disposed between the bottom of the first receiving groove 1211a and the first driving segment 1212. It is understood that the first receiving groove 1211a can also be provided on the first driving segment 1212, and the first connecting segment 1211 extends into the first driving segment 1212. However, since the first connecting segment 1211 is the upstream structure for power transmission, setting its size to be larger than that of the first driving segment 1212 can make the structure of the first rotating shaft 121 more coordinated and stable.

[0050] Furthermore, similar to the structure where the first sleeve 122 is movably disposed on the first rotating shaft 121, in order to prevent the first driving segment 1212 from moving out of the first connecting segment 1211, this embodiment also provides a second limiting groove 1211b extending along the first horizontal direction on one side of the groove wall of the first receiving groove 1211a and the first driving segment 1212, and a second limiting protrusion 1212a is provided on the other side of the groove wall of the first receiving groove 1211a and the first driving segment 1212. The second limiting protrusion 1212a extends into the second limiting groove 1211b to limit the range of movement of the first driving segment 1212 within the first receiving groove 1211a.

[0051] Based on the segmented structure of the first rotating shaft 121 described above, this embodiment defines the specific placement of the first elastic reset member 125. Specifically, the first elastic reset member 125 is sleeved on the first driving segment 1212, with one end of the first elastic reset member 125 abutting the end of the first connecting segment 1211 and the other end abutting the first sleeve 122. Thus, the end face of the first receiving groove 1211a, formed by opening the first receiving groove 1211a on the first connecting segment 1211, abuts against the first elastic reset member 125, eliminating the need for an additional abutment surface. This ingenious structure facilitates installation.

[0052] It should be noted that the coaxial arrangement between the first connecting segment 1211 and the first driving segment 1212 is achieved by fitting the first receiving groove 1211a. The connection between the first connecting segment 1211 and the power source also needs to ensure connection accuracy. Therefore, a corresponding positioning structure can be set between the power source and the first connecting segment 1211. However, power sources are generally mature products, making structural changes inconvenient. Furthermore, power sources typically use easily disassembled connection methods for easier overall maintenance. Therefore, in this embodiment, a coupling connects the power source and the first connecting segment 1211. This eliminates the need to align the rotating shaft of the power source with the rotating axis of the first connecting segment 1211, while still ensuring the rotational accuracy of the first connecting segment 1211. The coupling connection also facilitates disassembly and assembly, meeting the aforementioned requirements.

[0053] The above describes the detailed structural configuration of the adjustment structure 12 proposed in this application. Regarding the structural configuration of the second adjustment device 3, this application does not specifically limit it; it only needs to be able to adjust the installation angle of the second target component on the main body of the product. In this embodiment, the structure of the second adjustment device 3 is configured to be equivalent to the adjustment structure 12. That is, the second adjustment device 3 includes a second rotating shaft formed by a second connecting section and a second driving section. A second elastic element is also provided between the second connecting section and the second driving section. A second receiving groove is also provided on the second connecting section to receive the second driving section. A third limiting groove and a third limiting protrusion are provided between the groove wall of the second receiving groove and the second driving section to prevent the second connecting section from disengaging from the second driving section. Further, the driving end of the second driving section is provided with a second sleeve and a second mating part. A second elastic reset element is provided between the second sleeve and the second connecting section. A fourth limiting groove and a fourth limiting protrusion are provided between the second sleeve and the second driving section to prevent the second sleeve from disengaging from the second driving section. It should be noted that the structure of the second mating part is consistent with the function of the first mating part 123, but the structure is not exactly the same. It 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 mating part is set as a second positioning post and a second limiting post located on one side of the second positioning post, so as to achieve mating with the second target component, thereby driving the second target component to rotate to adjust the installation angle of the second target component and meet the functional requirements.

[0054] In addition, when the product component is placed on the supporting structure 11, the installation angle of the first target component on the product component cannot be determined. Therefore, this embodiment also provides a visual inspection device 124 to obtain the installation angle of the first target component around the first horizontal axial direction, so as to obtain the adjustment amount of the first target component and ensure adjustment accuracy. Furthermore, the visual inspection device 124 can also be set at the second adjustment device 3 to obtain the installation angle of the second target component. However, in this embodiment, when the second target component is installed on the product body, its installation angle can be determined. Therefore, it is not necessary to obtain the real-time installation angle. The adjustment amount of the installation angle of the second target component can be obtained by comparing the final installation angle of the first target component with the installation angle of the second target component pre-stored in the system, so as to adjust the installation angle of the second target component accordingly. Of course, setting an additional visual inspection device 124 can better ensure accuracy, but the cost increases. Therefore, this application does not limit this; the choice of whether to set another visual inspection device 124 to detect the installation angle of the second target component is based on actual needs, as long as the functional requirements are met.

[0055] Furthermore, the supporting structure 11 limits the product component to ensure the accuracy of the first target component during adjustment. In this embodiment, see Appendix. Figure 5 A mounting groove 111 is provided on the supporting structure 11, and a movable limiting member 112 is provided at the opening 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 opening of the mounting groove 111 and a disengaging position away from the opening of the mounting groove 111 during its active stroke. The limiting member 112 located at the limiting position is used to prevent the product component from falling out of the mounting groove 111. In this way, the circumferential movement of the product component is limited by the mounting groove 111, and the movable limiting member 112 avoids the product component when it is placed. After the product component is placed in the mounting groove 111, it is limited at the opening of the mounting groove 111 to prevent the product component from falling out of the mounting groove 111, thus ensuring the stability of the product component's position on the supporting structure 11.

[0056] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the rotation axes of the first target component and the second target component are along the first horizontal direction. In order to facilitate the placement of the product component, the product component is placed in the mounting groove 111 of the bearing structure 11 along the vertical direction. Based on this, in this embodiment, the bearing structure 11 needs to be rotated and adjusted, that is, the bearing structure 11 needs to be rotated around the second horizontal axis so that the bearing structure 11 has an adjustment position with the mounting groove 111 facing the adjustment structure 12 and a bearing position with the mounting groove 111 facing upwards on the rotation stroke.

[0057] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the placement of the product component on the supporting structure 11 is also automatically completed by the assembly system 1000. Specifically, the assembly system 1000 is also equipped with a loading station, and the assembly system 1000 further includes a second transfer device 5, which is disposed between the loading station and the adjustment station, for transferring the product component at the loading station to the supporting structure 11 at the adjustment station. That is, the product component is transferred to the mounting slot 111 placed in the supporting structure 11 by the second transfer device 5, realizing automated loading. Therefore, if the size of the mounting groove 111 is set close to the product component to ensure the positioning of the product component, the placement accuracy requirement of the second transfer device 5 is relatively high. However, if the size of the mounting groove 111 is set larger than the product component to reduce the placement accuracy of the second transfer device 5, the positioning accuracy of the mounting groove 111 for the product component will be reduced. To address this, in this embodiment, a first clamping structure 113 is also provided in the mounting 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, reducing the required placement accuracy of the second transfer device 5. When the product component is placed in the mounting groove 111, the first clamping structure 113 is controlled to clamp the product component, thereby ensuring the positioning accuracy of the product component and meeting the functional requirements.

[0058] Furthermore, this application does not specifically limit the specific structural configuration of the first transfer device 4 and the second transfer device 5, as long as they can achieve the transfer function. In this embodiment, please refer to the appendix. Figure 6The first transfer device 4 includes a second clamping structure for picking up product components. The second clamping structure includes multiple grippers 41 and an elastic abutment 42. The lower end of each gripper 41 has a hook 411. The elastic abutment 42 and the hook 411 are arranged opposite each other in the vertical direction to abut the upper and lower end faces of the product component, respectively. When the second clamping structure clamps the product component, the multiple grippers 41 are first opened to avoid the product component. When the product component extends between the multiple grippers 41 and its upper end face presses against the elastic abutment 42, the multiple grippers 41 close, placing 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, ensuring stability during the transfer process. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the structure of the second transfer device 5 is similar to that of the first transfer device 4, but based on the rotational arrangement of the bearing 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 as the third clamping structure, the position of the hook 411 on its jaw 41 is different from that of the hook 411 on the second clamping structure. Specifically, it 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 As described above, the assembly platform 2 is used to place the main body of the product. In order to prevent the main body of the product from moving on the assembly platform 2, this embodiment also provides a pressing component 21 on the assembly platform 2. The pressing component 21 includes a pressing part that can be moved up and down. The pressing part is used to press down and fix the main body of the product, thereby ensuring the stable positioning of the main body of the product on the assembly platform 2 and ensuring the accuracy when the product components are assembled onto the main body of the product.
