During the assembly of the above structure, the pendulum assembly needs to be precisely aligned with the teeth of the driving gear, which makes the automatic assembly of the pendulum difficult.

[0041] In view of this, the present invention proposes an assembly method, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , is an embodiment of the assembly method proposed in this application, and the assembly method will be described in detail below with reference to specific drawings.

[0042] See also Figures 1 to 3 The assembly method is based on an assembly system 100, wherein the assembly system 100 is provided with an inspection station and an adjustment station, the assembly system 100 comprises a conveying device 1, a visual inspection device 2 and an adjustment device 3, the conveying device 1 extends along a first direction, and the conveying track passes through the inspection station and the adjustment station, the conveying device 1 is used to convey the assembled product along the first direction, the visual inspection device 2 is arranged at the inspection station, the adjustment device 3 is arranged at the adjustment station, and the visual inspection device 2 and the adjustment device 3 are located on one side of the conveying device 1 in the second direction, the visual inspection device 2 is located upstream of the adjustment device 3, and the adjustment device 3 is used to adjust the angle of the target component in the product around the axial direction of the second direction, and the steps of the assembly method include:

[0043] S100: during the operation of the conveying device 1, obtaining a real-time image of a target component in a product detected by the visual inspection device 2;

[0044] S200: Compare the real-time image with a preset standard image to obtain an angle offset;

[0045] S300: According to the angle offset, controlling the adjusting device 3 to adjust the angle of the target component in the product.

[0046] In the technical solution of the present invention, the assembly system 100 includes the conveying device 1, the visual inspection device 2 and the adjustment device 3. The conveying device 1 is used to undertake the task of conveying products in the assembly system 100. Therefore, when the inspection station and the adjustment station are provided on the assembly system 100, the conveying trajectory of the conveying device 1 should pass through the inspection station and the adjustment station. The visual inspection device 2 is provided at the inspection station, and its function is to obtain a real-time image of the target component in the product for comparison with a preset standard image to obtain the offset of the target component. The adjustment device 3 is provided at the adjustment station, and the adjustment device 3 is located downstream of the visual inspection device 2. The adjustment device 3 is used to receive the above-mentioned offset and adjust the target component, so as to make the state of the target component consistent with the state in the preset standard image, so as to ensure the accuracy of subsequent component assembly. On the basis of the above structure, the present application proposes the corresponding assembly method. Specifically, during the operation of the conveying device 1, the product will be continuously conveyed through the inspection station and the adjustment station. When the product passes through the inspection station, a real-time image of the target component in the product detected by the visual inspection device 2 is obtained. After obtaining the real-time image, the real-time image is compared with the preset standard image, and the angle offset is obtained based on the comparison structure. The angle offset information is then passed to the adjustment device 3. When the product is conveyed to the adjustment station, the adjustment device 3 adjusts the angle of the target component in the product according to the angle offset information so that it is consistent with the angle in the preset standard image, thereby improving the assembly accuracy of the assembly system 100 and meeting the high-precision product assembly requirements.

[0047] It can be understood that the types of products and target components in the products to which the assembly method is applicable are not limited herein. It is sufficient that the assembly accuracy of the products and target components in the products can be improved through the assembly method. In this embodiment, the target components in the product are pre-assembled gear structures, which need to engage with the teeth on the pendulum structure in the game controller, so higher assembly accuracy is required. The assembly method proposed in this application is intended to meet the above required assembly accuracy to ensure the stability of the high-precision automated assembly process of the assembly system 100.

[0048] Specifically, the adjusting device 3 in this embodiment is mainly used to adjust the rotation angle of the gear to adjust the angular position of the tooth portion thereof. Based on this, the adjusting device 3 includes a bracket 31, a first movable seat 32 and a rotation adjusting assembly 33. The first movable seat 32 can be movably mounted on the bracket 31 along the second direction. The rotation adjusting assembly 33 is mounted on one end of the first movable seat 32 close to the conveying device 1. The rotation adjusting assembly 33 is mainly used to contact the gear and drive the gear to rotate. The step S300 includes:

[0049] S310: Control the first movable seat 32 to move toward the conveying device 1 by a first set distance, so that the rotation adjustment component 33 cooperates with a target component in the product;

[0050] S320: According to the angle offset, controlling the rotation adjustment component 33 to drive the target component in the product to rotate axially around the second direction;

[0051] S330: Control the first movable seat 32 to retreat, so that the rotation adjustment component 33 is separated from the target component in the product.

[0052] The first movable seat 32 is moved in the second direction to drive the rotation adjustment component 33 to cooperate with or separate from the target component in the product. Based on this, when the product is conveyed to the adjustment station, the first movable seat 32 is controlled to move toward the conveying device 1 by the first set distance. The value of the first set distance is mainly based on actual needs, and it can ensure that the rotation adjustment component 33 cooperates with the target component in the product. Then, based on the obtained angle offset, the rotation adjustment component 33 is controlled to drive the target component in the product to rotate axially around the second direction until the angle of the target component is consistent with the preset standard image, and the adjustment of the target component is completed. At this time, the first movable seat 32 is controlled to retract, so that the rotation adjustment component 33 is separated from the target component. In this way, the adjustment process of the target component is completed, preparing for subsequent high-precision assembly.

[0053] In addition, an assembly station is also provided on the assembly system 100, and the conveying track of the conveying device 1 also passes through the assembly station. The assembly system 100 also includes a loading device 5 and an assembly device 6. The assembly device 6 is arranged at the assembly station, and the assembly device 6 includes a picking component 61 movable along the second direction, and the picking component 61 is used to pick up the assembly parts output by the loading device 5. The assembly station is arranged downstream of the adjustment station, so that when the adjusted product moves to the assembly station, the assembly operation can be directly performed, and the assembly accuracy is high to meet the requirements. After the step S300, the steps are also included:

[0054] S340: When the picking component 61 picks up an assembly part and the conveying device 1 conveys the product to the assembly station, the picking component 61 is controlled to move toward the conveying device 1 by a second set distance so that the assembly part matches the target component in the product;

[0055] S350: Control the pickup assembly 61 to release the assembly parts;

[0056] S360: Control the picking component 61 to retreat so that the picking component 61 is separated from the assembly part.

[0057] Generally, the picking component 61 has a picking and positioning function, that is, the state of the assembly part picked up by the picking component 61 is a preset state. Here, the preset state is paired with the preset standard image of the target component, so there is no need to adjust the angle of the assembly part picked up by the picking component 61, which simplifies the operation and ensures the assembly accuracy. It should be noted here that the specific value of the second set distance is also not limited, and is based on actual needs. It can enable the picking component 61 to extend the assembly part into the interior of the product and cooperate with the target component for installation. Thereafter, after completing the step of coordinating the assembly part with the target component, the picking component 61 is controlled to release the assembly part and retreat away from the assembly part to complete the automated process of accurately installing the assembly part to the target component. The steps are simple, easy to set up, and high accuracy meets functional requirements.

[0058] See also Figures 4 to 8The present application also proposes an assembly system 100, wherein an inspection station and an adjustment station are provided on the assembly system 100, and the assembly system 100 includes a conveying device 1, a visual inspection device 2 and an adjustment device 3.

The conveying device 1 is used to convey the assembled product along the first direction, the visual inspection device 2 is arranged at the inspection station, the adjustment device 3 is arranged at the adjustment station, and the visual inspection device 2 and the adjustment device 3 are located on one side of the conveying device 1 in the second direction, the visual inspection device 2 is located upstream of the adjustment device 3, and the adjustment device 3 is used to adjust the angle of the target component in the product around the axis of the second direction. The specific functional settings of the conveying device 1, the visual inspection device 2 and the adjustment device 3 have been described in detail above. Specifically, the conveying device 1 is used to undertake the task of conveying products in the assembly system 100. The visual inspection device 2 is arranged at the inspection station, and its function is to obtain a real-time image of the target component in the product for comparison with the preset standard image to obtain the offset of the target component. The adjustment device 3 is arranged at the adjustment station, and the adjustment device 3 is used to receive the above-mentioned offset and adjust the target component, so that the state of the target component is consistent with the state in the preset standard image, so as to ensure the accuracy of subsequent component assembly.

[0059] Furthermore, the assembly system 100 further comprises a control device 4, the control device 4 being electrically connected to the conveying device 1, the visual inspection device 2 and the adjustment device 3. To implement the control method of the assembly system 100 as described above, please refer to Figure 4 , the control device 4 includes: a processor 1001, such as a CPU, a communication bus 1002, a user interface 1003, a network interface 1004, and a memory 1005. Among them, the communication bus 1002 is used to realize the connection and communication between these components. The user interface 1003 may include a display screen (Display), an input unit such as a keyboard (Keyboard), and the user interface 1003 may optionally include a standard wired interface and a wireless interface. The network interface 1004 may optionally include a standard wired interface and a wireless interface (such as a WI-FI interface). The memory 1005 may be a high-speed RAM memory, or a stable memory (non-volatile memory), such as a disk memory. The memory 1005 may optionally be a storage device independent of the aforementioned processor 1001.

[0060] Those skilled in the art will understand that Figure 4The structure of the control device 4 shown in the figure does not constitute a limitation on the control device 4, and may include more or less components than shown in the figure, or combine certain components, or arrange the components differently.

[0061] like Figure 4 As shown, the memory 1005 as a computer storage medium may include an operating system, a network communication module, a user interface module, and a control program of the assembly system 100.

[0062] exist Figure 4 In the control device 4 shown, the control program of the assembly system 100 stored in the memory 1005 is called by the processor 1001, and the assembly method is executed.

[0063] In addition, the adjustment device 3 includes a bracket 31, a first movable seat 32 and a rotation adjustment component 33, the first movable seat 32 can be movably mounted on the bracket 31 along the second direction, and the rotation adjustment component 33 is mounted on one end of the first movable seat 32 close to the conveying device 1. The adjustment device 3 includes the bracket 31, the first movable seat 32 and the rotation adjustment component 33, which have been described in detail above and will not be repeated here.

[0064] Furthermore, the rotation adjustment component 33 includes a rotating shaft 331 and a sleeve 332 sleeved on the output end of the rotating shaft 331, the rotating shaft 331 is extended along the second direction, and the output end of the rotating shaft 331 is provided with a matching portion 333, the matching portion 333 is used to match with the target component in the product, the sleeve 332 can be movably sleeved on the rotating shaft 331 along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 331, and the sleeve 332 has an initial state in which the sleeve 332 sleeves the matching portion 333 and an adjustment state in which the matching portion 333 exposes the sleeve 332 in the movable stroke, and an elastic reset member is also provided between the sleeve 332 and the rotating shaft 331, and the elastic reset member is used to reset the sleeve 332 to the initial state. It can be understood that in order to ensure that the target component does not deflect abnormally before and after adjustment to ensure that there is no angular deviation, the sleeve 332 is provided at the end of the rotating shaft 331 used for rotation adjustment in this embodiment, and the elastic reset member is provided between the sleeve 332 and the rotating shaft 331. In this way, driven by the elastic reset member, the sleeve 332 is always in the initial state, that is, the matching portion 333 of the rotating shaft 331 is built into the sleeve 332. At this time, when the rotation adjustment component 33 moves toward the target component, the sleeve 332 is able to be pressed against the end face of the target component first, and in the process of continuing the movement, the elastic reset member is compressed to increase the pressure of the sleeve 332 pressing against the end face of the target component, thereby limiting the abnormal deflection of the target component before rotation adjustment and ensuring the adjustment accuracy. When the rotation adjustment assembly 33 continues to move toward the target component, the matching portion 333 of the rotation shaft 331 contacts the target component, and the rotation of the rotation shaft 331 can drive the target component to rotate, thereby adjusting the angle of the target component. After that, when the angle adjustment is completed, the sleeve 332 is still pressed against the target component, so the target component still cannot deflect abnormally, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the adjusted target component.

[0065] In addition, a first elastic member 34 is provided between the rotation adjustment component 33 and the first movable seat 32. In order to prevent the first movable seat 32 from continuing to move toward the target component after the mating portion 333 of the rotation shaft 331 is mated with the target component, so that the mating portion 333 abuts and applies pressure to the target component, resulting in damage or even destruction of the target component, the first elastic member 34 is further provided between the first movable seat 32 and the rotation adjustment component 33 in this embodiment, so that the rotation adjustment component 33 is arranged in a floating manner. When encountering the above situation, the first elastic member 34 can be compressed without causing serious damage to the target component, and the provision of the first elastic member 34 also increases the error tolerance of selecting a specific value of the first set distance.

[0066] In addition, the assembly system 100 is also provided with an assembly station, and the conveying track of the conveying device 1 also passes through the assembly station. The assembly system 100 also includes a loading device 5 and an assembly device 6. The assembly device 6 is provided at the assembly station, and the assembly device 6 includes a pickup assembly 61 movable along the second direction, and the pickup assembly 61 is used to pick up the assembly parts output by the loading device 5. The loading device 5 and the assembly device 6 have been described in detail above, and will not be described one by one here.

[0067] Specifically, the assembly device 6 further includes a second movable seat 62, which can be movably arranged along the second direction, the pick-up assembly 61 is installed on one end of the second movable seat 62 close to the conveying device 1, and a second elastic member 63 is arranged between the pick-up assembly 61 and the second movable seat 62. Similar to the function of the first elastic member 34 arranged between the rotation adjustment assembly 33 and the first movable seat 32, the second elastic member 63 is arranged between the second movable seat 62 and the pick-up assembly 61 in this embodiment, so that the pick-up assembly 61 is arranged to float in the second direction. After the second movable seat 62 drives the pick-up assembly 61 to deliver the assembly parts into the product, if the second movable seat 62 continues to move, the second elastic member 63 will be compressed, and will not be pressed against the product to cause damage to the product, thereby also improving the tolerance rate of the specific value selection of the second set distance.

[0068] In addition, the pick-up component 61 can be axially rotatably mounted on the second movable seat 62 around the second direction. In order to ensure that the installation angle of the assembly part picked up by the pick-up component 61 fits the angle of the target part in the preset standard image, the present embodiment sets the pick-up component 61 to be rotatably mounted on the second movable seat 62, so that before assembly production, the pick-up component 61 can be adjusted according to the preset standard image to ensure that the assembly part picked up by the pick-up component 61 can accurately match the adjusted target part. In this way, there is no need to adjust the preset standard image, which ensures the uniqueness of the standard and avoids the problem of abnormal standard selection after multiple standard adjustments, which leads to abnormal assembly matching.
