[0054] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an embodiment provides an automated assembly device 1000 that can be used to automatically label and install flanges on a workpiece, wherein the workpiece can be a router.

[0055] In other embodiments, the workpiece may be an electronic product such as a set-top box or an optical modem.

[0056] In some embodiments, the automated assembly equipment 1000 includes a frame 110, a carrying unit 200, a label peeling unit 300, a first manipulator 410, a flexible feeding unit 600, and a second manipulator 510. In some embodiments, the frame 110 can be fixedly mounted on one side of a main conveyor line 2000 for conveying workpieces, wherein the main conveyor line 2000 can be used to sequentially convey workpieces to different assembly stations for different assembly processes.

[0057] In some embodiments, the carrier unit 200, label peeling unit 300, first robot 410, flexible feeding unit 600, and second robot 510 can all be mounted on a side of the frame 110 away from the ground. The carrier unit 200 can be positioned near the main conveyor line 2000. The label peeling unit 300 can be located on a side of the carrier unit 200 away from the main conveyor line 2000. The first robot 410 can also be positioned near the main conveyor line 2000 and can be roughly parallel to the carrier unit 200 along the conveying direction of the main conveyor line 2000. That is, the first robot 410 can be located on a side of the main conveyor line 2000 close to the carrier unit 200. In this embodiment, the first robot 410 can be used to transfer a workpiece to be processed on the main conveyor line 2000 to the carrier unit 200 and can also grab a label from the label peeling unit 300 and attach it to a first preset position on the workpiece.

[0058] In some embodiments, the second robot 510 may be positioned opposite the first robot 410 along the conveying direction of the main conveyor line 2000, and the carrier unit 200 may be positioned between the first robot 410 and the second robot 510. A flexible feeding unit 600 may be positioned on the side of the main conveyor line 2000 near the label peeling unit 300, and the flexible feeding unit 600 is positioned on the side of the second robot 510 away from the main conveyor line 2000. In some embodiments, the flexible feeding unit 600 may be used to provide a flange. The second robot 510 may be used to grasp the flange from the flexible feeding unit 600 and install it at a second preset position on the workpiece. The second robot 510 may then transfer the assembled workpiece from the carrier unit 200 to the main conveyor line 2000, allowing the main conveyor line 2000 to transport the assembled workpiece to the next workstation. The second preset position may be different from the first preset position.

[0059] The automated assembly equipment 1000 provided in the embodiments of the present application can automatically label and install flanges on workpieces. This improves assembly efficiency and reduces operational errors. Furthermore, it reduces labor costs and thus the production cost of workpieces.

[0060] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the automated assembly equipment 1000 further includes a protective cover 120, which can be installed on the side of the frame 110 facing the carrier unit 200, and the carrier unit 200, the label peeling unit 300, the first manipulator 410, the flexible feeding unit 600, and the second manipulator 510 can all be accommodated in the protective cover 120, so that the protective cover 120 can provide a protective function for each structure to prevent dust and other debris from entering and affecting the smooth operation of the equipment. In the embodiment, the main conveyor line 2000 can also pass through the bottom of the protective cover 120, that is, the protective cover 120 can span the main conveyor line 2000, and the protective cover 120 is provided with avoidance openings 121 at both ends of the main conveyor line 2000 to allow the smooth passage of workpieces.

[0061] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the first manipulator 410 may be a three-axis, four-axis, or six-axis manipulator. In some embodiments, the first manipulator 410 may be connected to a suction element 420, such as a vacuum nozzle or a suction cup, at its actuator end. This suction element 420 may be used to remove the label from the label peeling mechanism and attach it to a first predetermined position on the workpiece. The suction element 420 may also be used to suction the workpiece, enabling the first manipulator 410 to grasp the workpiece.

[0062] like Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the carrying unit 200 includes a flipping mechanism 210 and a conveyor belt mechanism 220. The flipping mechanism 210 is located on a side of the first manipulator 410 close to the second manipulator 510, and the flipping mechanism 210 can be disposed adjacent to the first manipulator 410.

[0063] In some embodiments, the flipping mechanism 210 includes a loading plate assembly 211 and a first drive member 212. The loading plate assembly 211 can be used to place the workpiece. The loading plate assembly 211 can be connected to the output shaft of the first drive member 212. The first drive member 212 can be used to drive the loading plate assembly 211 to flip around a rotation axis. The rotation axis can be parallel to the conveying direction of the main conveyor line 2000. In some embodiments, the first drive member 212 can be a rotary motor, and the output shaft of the first drive member 212 can be parallel to the conveying direction of the main conveyor line 2000.

[0064] In some embodiments, the support plate assembly 211 may include a support plate 2111, a movable clamping member 2113, a fixed clamping member 2112, and a second driving member 2114. One end of the support plate 2111 may be fixedly connected to the output shaft of the first driving member 212 via a bolt connection or other means. The other end of the support plate 2111 may extend toward the second robot 510. In some embodiments, the support plate 2111 may be substantially parallel to the transmission belt of the main conveyor line 2000.

[0065] In some embodiments, the fixed clamping member 2112 can be fixedly disposed on one side of the carrier plate 2111 and disposed near one end of the first driving member 212. The carrier plate 2111 also has a hollow hole 2111a, which can extend a certain length along the conveying direction of the main conveyor line 2000. In some embodiments, the hollow hole 2111a can be located on the side of the fixed clamping member 2112 facing the second manipulator 510. The movable clamping member 2113 can be inserted into the hollow hole 2111a and protrude relative to the side of the carrier plate 2111 near the fixed clamping member 2112. Accordingly, the movable clamping member 2113 can be disposed opposite the fixed clamping member 2112.

[0066] Additionally, a second drive member 2114 can be mounted on a side of the carrier plate 2111 facing away from the fixed clamping member 2112, and an end of the movable clamping member 2113 facing away from the fixed clamping member 2112 can be connected to an output shaft of the second drive member 2114. In an embodiment, the second drive member 2114 can be used to drive the movable clamping member 2113 to move along the conveying direction of the main conveyor line 2000, moving closer to or further away from the fixed clamping member 2112. Thus, when a workpiece is placed on the carrier plate 2111, the movable clamping member 2113 can cooperate with the fixed clamping member 2112 to clamp and release the workpiece. In some embodiments, the second drive member 2114 can be configured as a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, an electric push rod, or an electric cylinder.

[0067] In some embodiments, the carrier plate assembly 211 may include multiple fixing clamps 2112. Each of the fixing clamps 2112 is located on the side of the hollow hole 2111a facing the first manipulator 410. Furthermore, the fixing clamps 2112 may be sequentially spaced along the conveying direction of the main conveyor line 2000. This allows the carrier plate assembly 211 to accommodate workpieces of varying lengths, thereby improving the versatility and utilization of the automated assembly equipment 1000 and reducing equipment investment costs for workpiece manufacturers.

[0068] In some embodiments, the conveying direction of the conveyor belt mechanism 220 can be parallel to the conveying direction of the main conveyor line 2000. One end of the conveyor belt mechanism 220 can be located below the direction of gravity of the carrier plate assembly 211. When the first driving member 212 drives the carrier plate assembly 211 to rotate, the side of the carrier plate 2111 on which the workpiece is placed can face the conveyor belt mechanism 220. When the second driving member 2114 drives the movable clamping member 2113 to move to release the workpiece, the workpiece can fall onto the conveyor belt mechanism 220.

[0069] In some embodiments, the other end of the conveyor belt mechanism 220 can extend toward the second robot 510 and be within the operating range of the second robot 510, so as to transport the workpiece into the operating range of the second robot 510, and the second robot 510 can install the flange on the workpiece.

[0070] In some embodiments, the conveyor belt mechanism 220 may include a conveyor belt 221, a transmission shaft 222, and a fourth driving member 223. Two transmission shafts 222 may be provided, and the two transmission shafts 222 may be spaced apart along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt mechanism 220. The conveyor belt 221 may be sleeved on the two transmission shafts 222.

[0071] In some embodiments, the fourth drive member 223 can be a motor. The fourth drive member 223 can be mounted within the frame 110 and can be connected to one of the drive shafts 222 via a gear box 224. Thus, the fourth drive member 223 can drive the conveyor belt 221 to transport the workpiece from a position near the carrier plate assembly 211 to a position near the second robot arm 510.

[0072] In some embodiments, the carrying unit 200 further includes a third drive member 230, which is disposed at one end of the conveyor belt mechanism 220 near the first manipulator 410. In some embodiments, the third drive member 230 can be a pneumatic cylinder. The output shaft of the third drive member 230 can be disposed away from the frame 110, and the output shaft of the third drive member 230 can be perpendicular to the conveyor belt 221. The first drive member 212 can be fixedly connected to the output shaft of the third drive member 230. Thus, the third drive member 230 can drive the first drive member 212 to rise and fall, and drive the carrying plate assembly 211 to rise and fall, so that the distance between the carrying plate 2111 and the conveyor belt 221 can be adjusted. In this way, the automated assembly equipment 1000 can be adapted for workpieces of different heights and sizes, further improving the versatility of the automated assembly equipment 1000.

[0073] In other embodiments, the third driving member 230 may also be an electric cylinder, an electric push rod, or a hydraulic cylinder.

[0074] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the label peeling unit 300 may be a label peeling machine, and the label peeling position of the label peeling machine may be located within the operating range of the first robot 410 .

[0075] like Figure 3 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the second manipulator 510 can be a three-axis manipulator, a four-axis manipulator, or a six-axis manipulator. The second manipulator 510 can be connected to a gripper structure 520, such as a pneumatic gripper or an electric gripper, at its execution end. The gripper structure 520 can be used to grasp a flange, remove it from the flexible feeding unit 600, and install it on a workpiece. It can also be used to grasp a workpiece and transfer it from the conveyor belt mechanism 220 to the main conveyor line 2000.

[0076] like Figure 2 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the flexible feeding unit 600 may include a silo assembly 610 and a flexible vibration plate 620. The silo assembly 610 and the flexible vibration plate 620 may be arranged sequentially along the conveying direction of the main conveyor line 2000, and the silo assembly 610 may be located on the side of the flexible vibration plate 620 close to the label peeling unit 300. The silo assembly 610 has a discharge port 6101, and the flexible vibration plate 620 may be located below the discharge port 6101 in the direction of gravity. Thus, the flange dropped from the discharge port 6101 of the silo assembly 610 may smoothly land on the flexible vibration plate 620. In this embodiment, the flexible vibration plate 620 may vibrate to arrange multiple flanges in a specific order.

[0077] In some embodiments, the silo assembly 610 includes a silo 611, a baffle 613, and a vibrator 612. The vibrator 612 is mounted on the frame 110, and the silo 611 can be mounted on the side of the vibrator 612 facing away from the frame 110, that is, the silo 611 is mounted on the vibrator 612. Thus, the vibrator 612 can drive the silo 611 to vibrate, causing the flange in the silo 611 to move toward the discharge port 6101 and fall onto the flexible vibration plate 620.

[0078] In this embodiment, the baffle 613 can be installed at one end of the silo 611 near the flexible vibrating plate 620 and cooperate with the bottom plate 6111 of the silo 611 to form a discharge port 6101. Specifically, the baffle 613 can be spaced apart from the bottom plate 6111 of the silo 611. The gap between the baffle 613 and the bottom plate 6111 can serve as the discharge port 6101, allowing the flange to be discharged from the silo 611 and dropped onto the flexible vibrating plate 620.

[0079] In some embodiments, the distance between the baffle 613 and the base plate 6111 can be adjusted to adjust the size of the discharge port 6101, thereby controlling the discharge speed. It can also be suitable for the output of flanges of different sizes, thereby improving the versatility of the automated assembly equipment 1000.

[0080] In some embodiments, a connecting rod is fixedly mounted on the end of the hopper 611 near the flexible vibrating plate 620. The connecting rod can be positioned opposite the base plate 6111. The end of the baffle 613 facing away from the base plate 6111 can be connected to the connecting rod via a locking member 614. A waist-shaped hole 6131 can be defined on the end of the baffle 613 facing away from the base plate 6111. The long axis of the waist-shaped hole 6131 can extend perpendicular to the base plate 6111. In some embodiments, the locking member 614 can be a combination of a bolt and a nut. One end of the bolt can be inserted through the waist-shaped hole 6131 and the connecting rod, respectively, and then tightened with a nut. The head of the bolt can abut the side of the baffle 613 facing away from the connecting rod. To adjust the distance between the baffle 613 and the base plate 6111, the nut can be loosened to unlock the baffle 613 from the connecting rod, allowing the baffle 613 to be adjusted. Once adjusted, the baffle 613 and the connecting rod can be locked securely in place using the locking member 614.

[0081] In other embodiments, the baffle 613 may be in transmission connection with a driving member, and the driving member may drive the baffle 613 to move closer to or away from the bottom plate 6111 to adjust the size of the discharge port 6101 .

[0082] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the automated assembly equipment 1000 further includes an image acquisition unit 700 and a control unit (not shown). The control unit can be electrically connected to each of the other electrical components in the automated assembly equipment 1000, so that the operation of each electrical component can be controlled by the control unit. Accordingly, the image acquisition unit 700 can be communicatively connected to the first manipulator 410, the second manipulator 510, and the carrier unit 200 through the control unit. The control unit can control the first manipulator 410, the second manipulator 510, and the carrier unit 200 to perform actions based on the information collected by the image acquisition unit 700.

[0083] In some embodiments, the image acquisition unit 700 may include a first image acquisition component 710, a second image acquisition component 720, a third image acquisition component 730, a fourth image acquisition component 740, a fifth image acquisition component 750, and a sixth image acquisition component 760. The first image acquisition component 710 may be mounted on the inner wall of the protective cover 120 and positioned near the main conveyor line 2000. The first image acquisition component 710 may be used to obtain position information of workpieces on the main conveyor line 2000, enabling the first robot 410 to accurately grab workpieces to be assembled from the main conveyor line 2000 and successfully place the workpieces on the carrier plate 2111.

[0084] The second image acquisition component 720 can be installed on the frame 110 and located on one side of the label peeling unit 300. Therefore, the second image acquisition component 720 can obtain the label position information on the label peeling unit 300 so that the first robot 410 can smoothly grab the label from the label peeling unit 300.

[0085] In this embodiment, the third image capture component 730 can be mounted on top of the protective cover 120, substantially opposite the carrier plate 2111. The third image capture component 730 can be used to obtain image information of the workpiece on the carrier plate 2111 to confirm the position information of the first preset position, thereby facilitating the first robot 410 to successfully attach the label to the first preset position.

[0086] In this embodiment, the fourth image capture component 740 can be mounted on the top of the protective cover 120, approximately opposite the flexible vibrating plate 620. The fourth image capture component 740 can be used to obtain positional information of the flange on the flexible vibrating plate 620, enabling the second manipulator 510 to smoothly grasp the flange on the flexible vibrating plate 620. The fifth image capture component 750 can be mounted on the top of the protective cover 120, approximately opposite the end of the conveyor belt 221 closest to the second manipulator 510. The fifth image capture component 750 can be used to obtain positional information of a second preset position on the workpiece, enabling the second manipulator 510 to smoothly install the flange on the workpiece. The sixth image capture component 760 can be mounted on the frame 110, located on the side of the flexible vibrating plate 620 closest to the second manipulator 510. The sixth image capture component 760 can be used to obtain posture information of the flange grasped by the second manipulator 510, enabling the second manipulator 510 to smoothly install the flange on the workpiece in the preset posture.

[0087] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, during use, the first image capture component 710 can capture the position information of the workpiece to be assembled on the main conveyor line 2000. The first robot 410 then grabs the workpiece from the main conveyor line 2000 and transfers it to the carrier plate assembly 211, where it is clamped and secured. Simultaneously, the second image capture component 720 can capture the position information of the label on the label peeling unit 300. The first robot 410 can then grab the label from the label peeling unit 300. The third image capture component 730 can capture the position information of a first preset position on the workpiece, facilitating the first robot 410 to successfully affix the label to the first preset position.

[0088] After labeling is complete, the first drive member 212 drives the carrier plate assembly 211 to flip, positioning the workpiece toward the conveyor belt 221. The second drive member 2114 then drives the movable clamping member 2113 to release the workpiece, allowing it to land on the conveyor belt 221. The conveyor belt 221 can transport the workpiece from the side near the carrier plate assembly 211 to the end near the second manipulator 510. The fourth image capture member 740 can capture the position information of the flange on the flexible vibrating plate 620. The second manipulator 510 can grasp the flange on the flexible vibrating plate 620 based on the information captured by the fourth image capture member 740. The sixth image capture member 760 can capture the posture information of the flange on the second manipulator 510, allowing the second manipulator 510 to install the flange on the workpiece according to a predetermined posture. Furthermore, the fifth image capture member 750 can capture the position information of a second predetermined position on the workpiece. Based on the information captured by the fifth image capture member 750, the second manipulator 510 can accurately install the flange at the second predetermined position. Afterwards, the second robot 510 may transfer the assembled workpiece from the conveyor belt 221 to the main conveyor line 2000 , and the main conveyor line 2000 may convey the assembled workpiece to the next workstation.
