[0042] Currently, manual labor is often required to separate the product from the protective cover. After product inspection, manual assembly is required. This labor-intensive and inefficient process has hindered the development of the industry. Furthermore, direct contact between the product and the manual labor can easily leave dirt on the product and damage it.

[0043] In view of this, the present application provides an assembly device and an assembly method to solve the technical problem that manual assembly of products and protective covers is labor-intensive, inefficient, and restricts the development of the industry.

[0044] See also Figure 1 , is a structural schematic diagram of the assembly device 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0045] In one embodiment, the assembly device 100 includes a driving mechanism 10, a tray 20, an adsorption device 30, and a baffle 40. The tray 20 is used to carry at least one product 200, and each product 200 is provided with a protective cover 300. The adsorption device 30 is connected to the driving mechanism 10. The adsorption device 30 includes at least one adsorption member 31, and each adsorption member 31 is used to adsorb the corresponding product 200. The baffle 40 is arranged at the top of the tray 20, and the baffle 40 is provided with at least one through slot 41, each through slot 41 corresponds to a product 200, and each through slot 41 only allows a single product 200 to pass through. Figure 2 As shown, the driving mechanism 10 is used to drive the adsorption device 30 to move downward, so that each adsorption member 31 adsorbs the corresponding product 200. Figure 3 As shown, after the suction member 31 absorbs the corresponding product 200, the drive mechanism 10 is further configured to drive the suction device 30 upward, driving the product 200 absorbed by the suction member 31 through the corresponding through-slot 41, thereby allowing the suction member 31 to remove the corresponding product 200 from the tray 20. The baffle 40 is configured to block the protective cover 300 while the suction member 31 removes the corresponding product 200, allowing the protective cover 300 to remain in the tray 20, thereby separating the product 200 from the corresponding protective cover 300. After each product 200 is separated from the corresponding protective cover 300, the drive mechanism 10 is further configured to drive the suction device 30 downward again, thereby driving the product 200 absorbed by the suction member 31 through the through-slot 41 and into the corresponding protective cover 300 retained in the tray 20, thereby completing the assembly of the product 200 with the corresponding protective cover 300.

[0046] The assembly device 100 provided in the above embodiment drives the adsorption device 30 to move through the driving mechanism 10, so that the adsorption device 30 sucks at least one product 200 out of the tray 20, and further under the blocking action of the baffle 40, the protective cover 300 is retained in the tray 20, thereby realizing the separation of the product 200 and the protective cover 300, and further under the cooperation of the driving mechanism 10 and the adsorption device 30, the product 200 sucked out by the adsorption part 31 is moved to the corresponding protective cover 300 retained in the tray 20, thereby realizing the assembly of the product 200 and the protective cover 300, with a high degree of automation, greatly improving work efficiency, saving labor costs, avoiding manual contact with the product 200, reducing the problem of human damage to the product 200, and ensuring the cleanliness of the surface of the product 200.

[0047] Combine Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the adsorption member 31 is a adsorption nozzle, which can be a micro adsorption nozzle and has a strong adsorption force on the surface of the product 200 made of different materials.

[0048] In one embodiment, the center position of the adsorption member 31 is aligned with the center position of the product 200, so that the adsorption member 31 ensures that the product 200 is evenly stressed when absorbing the product 200, thereby preventing the product 200 from falling off the adsorption member 31 during movement.

[0049] In one embodiment, due to the blocking effect of the baffle 40, the protective cover 300 remains in the tray 20 during the process of the adsorption part 31 driving the product 200 to move. The outline of the protective cover 300 is larger than the outline of the product 200. Based on this, the product 200 is ensured to be separated from the protective cover 300 during the process of the adsorption part 31 driving the product 200 to move.

[0050] Combine Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the assembly device 100 further includes an intermediate transfer tray 50. The driving mechanism 10 is disposed on the intermediate transfer tray 50. The intermediate transfer tray 50 is used to carry the product 200 sucked out by the adsorption member 31.

[0051] In one embodiment, a plurality of placement grooves 51 are provided on one side of the intermediate transfer plate 50 close to the adsorption device 30. After each adsorption member 31 drives the product 200 to pass through the through groove 41, the intermediate transfer plate 50 is flipped over by an external force. The intermediate transfer plate 50 drives the adsorption member 31 and the product 200 sucked out by the adsorption member 31 to flip over, so that the flipped product 200 is placed in the corresponding placement groove 51.

[0052] In one embodiment, the intermediate transfer tray 50 can be turned over manually, or the intermediate transfer tray 50 and the product 200 can be turned over by a turning mechanism.

[0053] In the above embodiment, after the intermediate transfer tray 50 is turned over, the turned product 200 is placed in the corresponding placement groove 51, thereby achieving the positioning of the product 200 and facilitating the subsequent inspection of the product 200.

[0054] Combine Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, a plurality of receiving slots 21 are provided on the tray 20 , and each product 200 and the protective cover 300 of each product 200 are received in a corresponding receiving slot 21 , so as to facilitate positioning of the product 200 and the protective cover 300 .

[0055] In one embodiment, since the tray 20 is made of soft material and is not suitable for clamping and fixing by mechanical devices, a plurality of pick-up and placement slots 22 are provided on both sides of the tray 20 to facilitate manual picking and placement of the tray 20 .

[0056] In one embodiment, the driving mechanism 10 includes a plurality of driving members 11, each of the plurality of driving members 11 is correspondingly connected to each adsorption member 31, and each driving member 11 is aligned with the corresponding accommodating groove 21 to ensure that each adsorption member 31 accurately adsorbs the corresponding product 200.

[0057] In one embodiment, the driving member 11 may be a telescopic cylinder, which is not limited thereto.

[0058] In one embodiment, the tray 20 is provided with a first positioning member (not shown in the figure), the baffle 40 is provided with a second positioning member (not shown in the figure), and the intermediate transfer plate 50 is provided with a third positioning member (not shown in the figure). The first positioning member is adapted to the second positioning member, thereby ensuring that when the baffle 40 is attached to the tray 20, the tray 20 is aligned with the baffle 40. The second positioning member is adapted to the third positioning member, thereby ensuring that when the intermediate transfer plate 50 is attached to the baffle 40, the baffle 40 is aligned with the intermediate transfer plate 50, thereby achieving precise positioning of the tray 20, the baffle 40, and the intermediate transfer plate 50, thereby ensuring that the accommodating groove 21 in the tray 20, the through groove 41 on the baffle 40, and the adsorption member 31 on the intermediate transfer plate 50 are aligned one by one.

[0059] In one embodiment, the first positioning member, the second positioning member, and the third positioning member may be positioning pins, which is not limited.

[0060] The embodiment of the present application also provides an assembly method, which is applied to the assembly device 100 of the above embodiment, and the method includes: controlling the driving mechanism 10 to drive the adsorption device 30 to move downward, so that the adsorption part 31 on the driving mechanism 10 adsorbs the product 200 in the tray 20; controlling the driving mechanism 10 to drive the adsorption device 30 to move upward, and drive the product 200 adsorbed by the adsorption part 31 to pass through the through slot 41 of the baffle 40. At this time, under the blocking action of the baffle 40, the protective cover 300 sleeved on the product 200 is retained in the tray 20, thereby separating the product 200 from the protective cover 300; controlling the driving mechanism 10 to drive the adsorption device 30 to move downward again, and then drive the product 200 adsorbed on the adsorption part 31 to pass through the through slot 41 of the tray 20, and move to the protective cover 300 retained in the tray 20, so that the product 200 and the protective cover 300 are assembled.

[0061] In the assembly method of the above embodiment, the adsorption device 30 is driven to move by controlling the driving mechanism 10, so that the adsorption device 30 sucks out multiple products 200 from the tray 20 in batches, and further under the blocking action of the baffle 40, the protective cover 300 is retained in the tray 20, thereby realizing the separation of the product 200 and the protective cover 300, and further with the cooperation of the driving mechanism 10 and the adsorption device 30, the assembly of the product 200 and the protective cover 300 is completed, with a high degree of automation, greatly improving work efficiency, saving labor costs, avoiding manual contact with the product 200, reducing the problem of human damage to the product 200, and ensuring the cleanliness of the surface of the product 200.
