Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of switch packaging assemblies, and in particular to electronic connector assembly equipment with a detection system and a detection method thereof. Background Art
[0002] In today's era of rapid manufacturing development, tactile switches, a common component in electronic devices, are experiencing continuous expansion in production and market demand. However, the existing tactile switch loading, packaging, and mounting processes generally have a low level of automation. Many companies still rely heavily on manual loading, which is not only inefficient but also expensive. Due to the significant individual variability in manual operation, it is difficult to ensure consistency and accuracy in each loading, resulting in inconsistent product quality and a high rate of defective products.
[0003] Although some semi-automated equipment has been put into use, manual intervention is still required to connect various links, making it impossible to form a coherent and efficient production line. For example, when moving the components of a touch switch to a fixed packaging position, manual assistance is often required to adjust the position and posture, which seriously affects the improvement of production efficiency and makes it difficult to meet the requirements of large-scale, high-quality production. In addition, the low degree of automation makes data collection and monitoring during the production process difficult, and it is impossible to effectively analyze and adjust the production status in a timely manner, further restricting the improvement of production efficiency and product quality. Moreover, after long-term use, the existing multi-station structure will gradually accumulate deflection errors, resulting in misalignment between the station and the external structure. The staff needs to correct the errors within a specified time, and there is a lack of the function of detecting the precise position of the station. Summary of the Invention
