[0002] Currently, with the advancement of technology, artificial intelligence (AI) glasses are gradually entering people's lives.

[0003] Existing factories typically assemble AI glasses on a single production line, supporting only one fixed type, which cannot meet customers' personalized needs. Therefore, how to enable production lines to assemble AI glasses according to individual customer requirements is a pressing technical problem that needs to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The main purpose of this application is to provide a method, production line, transportation equipment, and assembly system for assembling smart glasses, aiming to solve the existing technical problem of how to assemble AI glasses on a production line according to the personalized needs of customers.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides a method for assembling smart glasses. The method is applied to a production line in an assembly system. The production line includes at least two workstations, each of which performs a different assembly process. The assembly system also includes transport equipment.

[0006] The method includes:

[0007] Obtain the current orders to be produced, and determine the current production plan and the current required material information based on the current orders to be produced;

[0008] The current assembly process corresponding to each of the workstations is determined based on the current production plan.

[0009] The information on the currently required materials is transmitted to the transportation equipment, so that the transportation equipment transports the currently required materials corresponding to the information on the currently required materials to the corresponding workstation;

[0010] When the glasses to be assembled are detected to have arrived at the current workstation, the glasses are assembled using the corresponding required materials and according to the corresponding current assembly process.

[0011] In one embodiment, each of the workstations is equipped with a detection component;

[0012] The step of assembling the glasses to be assembled using the corresponding currently required materials and according to the corresponding currently assembled process when the glasses to be assembled are detected to have arrived at the current workstation includes:

[0013] When the glasses to be assembled are detected to have arrived at the current workstation, the previous standard assembly requirements corresponding to the previous workstation are obtained;

[0014] The detection component performs a first test on the glasses to be assembled, and when the first test result meets the previous standard assembly requirements, the glasses are assembled using the corresponding currently required materials and according to the corresponding current assembly process.

[0015] In one embodiment, after the step of assembling the glasses to be assembled using the corresponding currently required materials according to the corresponding currently assembled process, the method further includes:

[0016] Obtain the current standard assembly requirements corresponding to the current workstation;

[0017] The assembled glasses are subjected to a second test by the detection component, and when the second test result meets the current standard assembly requirements, the assembled glasses are transferred to the next workstation.

[0018] In one embodiment, the production line further includes at least two assembly line segments, each of which is connected in series, and the workstation includes a buffer workstation located between each pair of adjacent assembly line segments.

[0019] After the step of assembling the glasses to be assembled using the corresponding currently required materials and the corresponding currently assembled process when the glasses to be assembled are detected to have arrived at the current workstation, the method further includes:

[0020] Obtain the current state of each assembly line segment, and determine whether there are any abnormal assembly line segments based on the current state.

[0021] If so, the glasses to be assembled obtained from the previous assembly line segment of the abnormal assembly line segment are transported to the previous buffer station of the abnormal assembly line segment for material buffering.

[0022] The next buffer station of the abnormal assembly line segment is used to supply materials to the next assembly line segment of the abnormal assembly line segment.

[0023] In addition, to achieve the above objectives, this application also proposes a method for assembling smart glasses. The method is applied to a transport device in an assembly system. The assembly system further includes a production line, which includes at least two workstations, each of which is used to perform different assembly processes.

[0024] The method includes:

[0025] Upon receiving information about the materials currently required, the required materials corresponding to the information about the materials currently required are determined. The information about the materials currently required is determined by the production line equipment based on the received current orders to be produced.

[0026] The required materials are transported to the corresponding workstations so that when the production line equipment detects that the glasses to be assembled have arrived at the current workstation, it uses the required materials to assemble the glasses according to the current assembly process. The current assembly process is determined based on the current production plan, which is determined by the production line equipment according to the current orders to be produced.

[0027] In one embodiment, the step of transporting the currently required material to the corresponding workstation includes:

[0028] Determine the location of the currently required materials in the main warehouse, and obtain the location of the workstation corresponding to each of the currently required materials;

[0029] Based on the location of the material, generate material transportation routes corresponding to each of the currently required materials;

[0030] The material transportation routes are integrated to obtain a complete transportation route, and the currently required materials are transported to the corresponding workstations according to the complete transportation route.

[0031] In one embodiment, the step of determining the location of the currently required material in the main warehouse and obtaining the location of the workstation corresponding to each of the currently required materials includes:

[0032] Based on the current production plan, the currently required materials are divided into customized materials and fixed materials;

[0033] Obtain the current remaining quantity of the fixed material in the workstation corresponding to the fixed material;

[0034] The personalized materials and the fixed materials whose current remaining quantity does not meet the corresponding preset quantity requirements are taken as the new currently required materials.

[0035] Determine the location of the new currently required material in the main warehouse, and obtain the location of the workstation corresponding to each new currently required material.

[0036] In addition, to achieve the above objectives, this application also proposes a line device, which includes: a first memory, a first processor, and a smart glasses assembly program stored in the first memory and executable on the first processor. When the smart glasses assembly program is executed by the processor, it implements the steps of the smart glasses assembly method described above.

[0037] In addition, to achieve the above objectives, this application also proposes a transportation device, which includes: a second memory, a second processor, and a smart glasses assembly program stored in the second memory and executable on the second processor. When the smart glasses assembly program is executed by the processor, it implements the steps of the smart glasses assembly method described above.

[0038] In addition, to achieve the above objectives, this application also proposes an assembly system, which includes: the production line equipment as described above and the transport equipment as described above.

[0039] This application provides a method for assembling smart glasses, a production line, a transport device, and an assembly system. The method is applied to the production line in the assembly system. The production line includes at least two workstations, each used to perform a different assembly process. The assembly system also includes a transport device. The method includes: acquiring a current order to be produced and determining a current production plan and current required material information based on the current order to be produced; determining the current assembly process corresponding to each workstation based on the current production plan; transmitting the current required material information to the transport device so that the transport device transports the current required material corresponding to the current required material information to the corresponding workstation; and when the glasses to be assembled are detected to have arrived at the current workstation, assembling the glasses to be assembled using the corresponding current required material according to the corresponding current assembly process.

[0040] This application allows for the determination of the current production plan and required materials based on the acquired orders to be produced. The current assembly process for each workstation is then determined based on the current production plan, and the required material information is transmitted to the transport equipment. The transport equipment can then transport the required materials to the corresponding workstation. When the production line detects that the glasses to be assembled have arrived at the current workstation, it uses the corresponding required materials and assembles the glasses according to the corresponding current assembly process. Because this application determines the current production plan and required materials based on the orders to be produced, determines the corresponding current assembly process based on the current production plan, and finally assembles the glasses according to the corresponding current assembly process using the required materials, it enables assembly based on the personalized needs of different customers.

[0051] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the technical solutions of this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0052] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the physical device structure of the hardware operating environment involved in the embodiments of this application.

[0053] like Figure 1As shown, the line device may include: a first processor 1001, such as a central processing unit (CPU), a first communication bus 1002, a first user interface 1003, a first network interface 1004, and a first memory 1005. The first communication bus 1002 is used to enable communication between these components. The first user interface 1003 may be connected to a display screen. Optionally, the first user interface 1003 may include a standard wired interface or a wireless interface; in this application, the wired interface of the first user interface 1003 may be a USB interface. The first network interface 1004 may optionally include a standard wired interface or a wireless interface (such as a Wireless-Fidelity (Wi-Fi) interface). The first memory 1005 may be a high-speed random access memory (RAM) or a non-volatile memory (NVM), such as a disk storage device. Optionally, the first memory 1005 may also be a storage device independent of the aforementioned first processor 1001.

[0054] Those skilled in the art will understand that Figure 1 The structure shown does not constitute a limitation on the line equipment and may include more or fewer components than shown, or combine certain components, or have different component arrangements.

[0055] like Figure 1 As shown, the first memory 1005, which is identified as a computer storage medium, may include a first operating system, a first network communication module, a first user interface module, and a smart glasses assembly program.

[0056] exist Figure 1 In the line device shown, the first network interface 1004 is mainly used to connect to the backend server and communicate with the backend server; the first user interface 1003 is mainly used to connect to user equipment (such as a transport device equipped with a camera); the line device calls the smart glasses assembly program stored in the first memory 1005 through the first processor 1001 and executes the steps of the smart glasses assembly method provided in the first to third embodiments of this application.

[0057] It should be noted that, with the advancement of technology, artificial intelligence (AI) glasses are gradually entering people's lives.

[0058] Existing factories typically assemble AI glasses on a single production line, supporting only one fixed type, which cannot meet customers' personalized needs. Therefore, how to enable production lines to assemble AI glasses according to individual customer requirements is a pressing technical problem that needs to be solved.

[0059] Therefore, to address the aforementioned shortcomings, this embodiment provides a smart glasses assembly method. In this embodiment, the current production plan and required material information corresponding to the acquired order to be produced are determined. Based on the current production plan, the current assembly process for each workstation is determined, and the required material information is transmitted to the transportation equipment. The transportation equipment transports the required materials to the corresponding workstation. When the assembly line detects that the glasses to be assembled have arrived at the current workstation, it uses the corresponding required materials and assembles the glasses according to the corresponding current assembly process. Because this embodiment determines the current production plan and required material information based on the current order to be produced, determines the corresponding current assembly process based on the current production plan, and finally assembles the glasses according to the corresponding current assembly process using the required materials, it achieves assembly according to orders corresponding to the personalized needs of different customers.

[0060] For ease of understanding, the following is combined with Figures 2 to 7 The method for assembling smart glasses provided in the embodiments of this application will be described in detail.

[0061] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating the first embodiment of the smart glasses assembly method of this application. The first embodiment of the smart glasses assembly method of this application is presented as follows: Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the specific method includes:

[0062] Step S10: Obtain the current orders to be produced, and determine the current production plan and the current required material information based on the current orders to be produced.

[0063] It is understood that the method of this embodiment can be applied to a production line in an assembly system. This assembly system can be a system for assembling the aforementioned AI glasses. The production line can be any device with data processing, program execution, and smart glasses assembly functions, such as automated production line equipment. This embodiment does not impose any limitations on this. The execution subject of this method embodiment can be the aforementioned production line to illustrate this embodiment and the following embodiments.

[0064] It is also understood that the assembly system described above in this embodiment may further include transportation equipment. The assembly line equipment can be communicatively connected to the transportation equipment, which can be any equipment with transportation functions, such as an Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV). This embodiment does not impose any limitations on this. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the assembly line equipment can communicate with the transportation equipment, specifically through Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, etc. This embodiment does not impose any limitations on this.

[0065] It should be understood that this embodiment may include a manufacturing management system, which can be used to handle functions such as assembling AI glasses, and the aforementioned production line equipment may be included within this manufacturing management system. This embodiment may also include a warehouse management system, which can be used to store materials required for the production of AI glasses, and the aforementioned transportation equipment may be included within this warehouse management system.

[0066] It should also be understood that the aforementioned current pending production orders can be orders for AI glasses corresponding to customers' personalized needs. In this embodiment, an order management system can also be provided. This order management system can be used to serve customers, who can select the corresponding AI glasses according to their personalized needs from the order management system to generate the aforementioned current pending production orders. These current pending production orders may include, but are not limited to, parameters such as the frame color, nose pad color, size, and production quantity of the AI ​​glasses. The aforementioned manufacturing management system, warehouse management system, and order management system can all belong to the aforementioned assembly system.

[0067] It should be noted that the aforementioned current production plan can be the assembly plan corresponding to the production of the AI ​​glasses in the current order to be produced. The aforementioned current required material information can be the information on the materials required to assemble the AI ​​glasses in the current order to be produced. In this embodiment, corresponding preset production plans and preset required material information can be set for different styles of AI glasses and stored in the database.

[0068] In actual use, after receiving the current order to be produced, the production line equipment can determine the style of the glasses to be assembled based on the current order to be produced, and retrieve the corresponding preset production plan from the database as the current production plan, and retrieve the corresponding preset required material information as the current required material information.

[0069] Step S20: Determine the current assembly process corresponding to each of the workstations based on the current production plan.

[0070] It is understood that the production line equipment in this embodiment includes at least two workstations, and different workstations are used to perform different assembly processes. The aforementioned workstations can be understood as stations used for performing assembly processes, as described above. Figure 3 , Figure 3This is a schematic diagram showing the positions of the workstations in the first embodiment of the smart glasses assembly method of this application. In this embodiment, the production line equipment may include a transport track, which can be in a return-flow configuration. Specifically, the transport track may include a working track and a return track. One end of the working track is connected to one end of the return track, and the other end of the working track and the other end of the return track are on the same side. The aforementioned workstations can be arranged sequentially on the side of the working track away from the return track. During production, the working track can move from left to right, passing through the corresponding workstations for assembly, and then return to the return track, moving from right to left to output the finished glasses.

[0071] It is also understood that the number of workstations in this embodiment can be set according to the actual situation, and different workstations can be used to perform different assembly processes. These assembly processes may include, but are not limited to, assembly, hot pressing, foaming, gluing, pressure holding, and appearance inspection. The specific process can be set according to the actual situation, and this embodiment does not impose any restrictions on it.

[0072] It should be understood that, in this embodiment, the process to be performed at each workstation can be determined within the current production plan, which is the aforementioned current assembly process.

[0073] Step S30: Transmit the current required material information to the transportation equipment so that the transportation equipment transports the current required material corresponding to the current required material information to the corresponding work station.

[0074] It should be noted that after the production line equipment obtains the current required material information, it can send it to the transportation equipment. After obtaining the current required material information, the transportation equipment can determine the corresponding current required material based on the current required material information. The current required material can be the material used to assemble the AI ​​glasses in the current order to be produced.

[0075] It should also be noted that the aforementioned warehouse management system can also include a central warehouse, which can be used to store various materials. After determining the materials needed, the transport equipment can move within the central warehouse, grab the required materials, and transport all the grabbed materials to the corresponding workstations.

[0076] It is understood that in this embodiment, each workstation may be equipped with a station-side warehouse for storing materials. When the transport equipment arrives at the corresponding station-side warehouse, the robotic arm can grab the corresponding currently needed materials and store them in the station-side warehouse. The aforementioned currently needed materials may include, but are not limited to, picture frames, brackets, gaskets, and foam, etc., and this embodiment does not impose any restrictions on them.

[0077] Step S40: When the glasses to be assembled are detected to have arrived at the current workstation, the glasses to be assembled are assembled using the corresponding materials required at the current time and according to the corresponding current assembly process.

[0078] It should be understood that after the transport equipment transports the required materials to the corresponding workstation, the production line equipment can control the transport track to start running, passing through the corresponding workstations in sequence, and detecting the current position of the glasses to be assembled on the transport track in real time. When the glasses to be assembled are detected to have arrived at the current workstation, the required materials in the current workstation can be installed on the glasses to be assembled according to the corresponding current assembly process, until all workstations have been passed, thereby obtaining the AI ​​glasses corresponding to the current order to be produced.

[0079] It is important to emphasize that, in this embodiment, after each workstation completes its current assembly process, it can transmit the assembly results to the order management system, thereby ensuring the traceability and transparency of the production process.

[0080] In this embodiment, the current production plan and required material information corresponding to the acquired order to be produced can be determined. Based on the current production plan, the current assembly process for each workstation is determined, and the required material information is transmitted to the transportation equipment. The transportation equipment can transport the required materials to the corresponding workstation. When the production line equipment detects that the glasses to be assembled have arrived at the current workstation, it uses the corresponding required materials to assemble the glasses according to the corresponding current assembly process. Because this embodiment can determine the current production plan and required material information based on the current order to be produced, determine the corresponding current assembly process based on the current production plan, and finally assemble the glasses according to the corresponding current assembly process using the required materials, it achieves assembly according to orders corresponding to the personalized needs of different customers.

[0081] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the above-mentioned workstation may include a first workstation, which may be located at the front end of the transport track. The first workstation may be a workstation for placing the picture frame, that is, the transport equipment places the corresponding picture frame in the first workstation, and the first workstation may place the picture frame on the transport track.

[0082] The aforementioned workstation may further include a second workstation and a third workstation. The second workstation may be located after the first workstation, and the third workstation may be located after the second workstation. The second workstation is used to assemble the nose pads onto the eyeglass frame, and the third workstation is used to heat and maintain pressure on the assembled eyeglass frame. The specific heating and pressure maintaining parameters can be set according to the actual situation, and this embodiment does not impose any restrictions on them.

[0083] The aforementioned workstation may also include a fourth workstation, which is located after the third workstation. The fourth workstation may assemble some components on both sides of the frame of the glasses to be assembled output from the third workstation, such as cameras, indicator lights, etc. This embodiment does not limit this, and may also perform heating and pressure holding.

[0084] The aforementioned workstation may also include a fifth workstation, which may be located after the fourth workstation. The fifth workstation may be a workstation for pasting ribbon cables, and may be pasted by machine or manually, etc. This embodiment does not limit this. Furthermore, the fifth workstation may also be used to remove the upper and lower protective films of the gaskets and assemble them onto the pasted ribbon cables.

[0085] The aforementioned workstation may also include a sixth workstation, which may be located after the fifth workstation. The sixth workstation may be used to attach the remaining two side cables, perform position detection, and maintain pressure.

[0086] The aforementioned workstation may further include a seventh workstation and an eighth workstation. The seventh workstation may be located after the sixth workstation, and the eighth workstation may be located after the seventh workstation. The seventh workstation may be used for attaching foam, and the eighth workstation may be used for peeling the film off and assembling the steel sheet bracket. The steel sheet bracket may be used for fixing the cabling.

[0087] The aforementioned workstation may also include a ninth workstation and a tenth workstation. The ninth workstation may be located after the eighth workstation, and the tenth workstation may be located after the ninth workstation. The ninth workstation may be used for assembling conductive foam for the steel sheet bracket and pressing and attaching foam above the right side ribbon cable of the lens frame. The tenth workstation may be used for five-axis dispensing of glue into the grooves on both sides of the lens frame, realizing multi-angle automatic dispensing, glue removal, glue wiping, and automatic needle alignment.

[0088] The aforementioned workstation may also include an eleventh workstation, which may be located after the tenth workstation. The eleventh workstation may be a workstation for the automatic assembly and static pressure holding of the left and right hinges.

[0089] Furthermore, considering that if the assembly at a certain workstation fails to meet the requirements, the entire transport track needs to be stopped, resulting in low production efficiency, in this embodiment, the production line equipment also includes at least two assembly lines, which are connected in series. The workstation includes a buffer workstation located between each pair of adjacent assembly lines.

[0090] It should be noted that the above-mentioned assembly line segment can be a line segment used to assemble part of the AI ​​glasses. Specifically, in this embodiment, the transport track can be divided into multiple segments, each of which serves as the above-mentioned assembly line segment, and each assembly line segment can be connected in series.

[0091] It should also be noted that, in this embodiment, the workstation may further include a cache workstation, which may be a line segment temporarily used to store the semi-finished products obtained from the previous assembly line segment. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the aforementioned cache workstation may be set between two adjacent assembly line segments. (Refer to...) Figure 4 , Figure 4This is a schematic diagram showing the location of the cache station in the first embodiment of the smart glasses assembly method of this application. Figure 4 As shown, a buffer station can be set up between adjacent assembly line segments.

[0092] It should be emphasized that the number of assembly lines and the number of cache stations in this embodiment can be set according to the actual situation, and this embodiment does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0093] Furthermore, after the step of assembling the glasses to be assembled using the corresponding currently required materials according to the corresponding currently assembled process when the glasses to be assembled are detected to have arrived at the current workstation, the method further includes:

[0094] Step S50: Obtain the current state of each assembly line segment, and determine whether there is an abnormal assembly line segment based on the current state.

[0095] It is understood that the aforementioned current state can be the state of a workstation within an assembly line segment. In this embodiment, when a workstation detects an abnormality in the currently assembled glasses, such as improper installation or defects, it can output an abnormal signal. When a workstation outputs an abnormal signal, it indicates that there is an abnormality in that assembly line segment, and that assembly line segment is designated as an abnormal assembly line segment.

[0096] Step S60: If yes, then transport the glasses to be assembled obtained from the previous assembly line segment of the abnormal assembly line segment to the previous buffer station of the abnormal assembly line segment for material buffering.

[0097] Step S70: Use the next buffer station of the abnormal assembly line segment to supply materials to the next assembly line segment of the abnormal assembly line segment.

[0098] It is also understood that the aforementioned previous assembly line segment can be the assembly line segment preceding the abnormal assembly line segment, and the aforementioned previous cache station can be the cache station preceding the abnormal assembly line segment. Similarly, the aforementioned next assembly line segment can be the next assembly line segment following the abnormal assembly line segment, and the aforementioned next cache station can be the next cache station following the abnormal assembly line segment.

[0099] For ease of understanding, the following explanation uses three assembly segments, which are connected in series and labeled as assembly segment A, assembly segment B, and assembly segment C. Two buffer stations can then be set up, labeled as buffer station a1 and buffer station a2. Buffer station a1 is located between assembly segment A and assembly segment B, and buffer station a2 is located between assembly segment B and assembly segment C.

[0100] If an abnormal signal is output from a workstation in assembly line B, then assembly line B is an abnormal assembly line. Consequently, the line equipment can transport the glasses to be assembled from the previous assembly line in assembly line B, i.e., assembly line A, to the previous buffer workstation in assembly line B, i.e., to buffer workstation a1 for material buffering, or temporary storage, so that assembly line A can continue to assemble.

[0101] Simultaneously, the next buffer station of assembly line B, namely buffer station a2, can be used to supply materials to the next assembly line of assembly line B, namely assembly line C. That is, the glasses to be assembled stored in buffer station a2 can be input into assembly line C, so that assembly line C can continue to assemble without stopping the operation of assembly lines A and C.

[0102] In this embodiment, the current production plan and required material information corresponding to the acquired order to be produced can be determined. Based on the current production plan, the current assembly process for each workstation is determined, and the required material information is transmitted to the transportation equipment. The transportation equipment can transport the required materials to the corresponding workstation. When the production line equipment detects that the glasses to be assembled have arrived at the current workstation, it uses the corresponding required materials to assemble the glasses according to the corresponding current assembly process. Because this embodiment can determine the current production plan and required material information based on the current order to be produced, determine the corresponding current assembly process based on the current production plan, and finally assemble the glasses according to the corresponding current assembly process using the required materials, it achieves assembly according to orders corresponding to the personalized needs of different customers.

[0103] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a flowchart illustrating the second embodiment of the smart glasses assembly method of this application. Based on the first embodiment described above, a second embodiment of the smart glasses assembly method of this application is proposed.

[0104] Considering that if an abnormality occurs during assembly at the previous workstation, the transport of the glasses to be assembled to the next workstation may affect the assembly at that workstation, resulting in material waste, therefore, in this embodiment, if... Figure 5 As shown, each of the workstations is equipped with a detection component;

[0105] The step of assembling the glasses to be assembled using the corresponding currently required materials and according to the corresponding currently assembled process when the glasses to be assembled are detected to have arrived at the current workstation includes:

[0106] Step S41: When the glasses to be assembled are detected to have arrived at the current workstation, obtain the previous standard assembly requirements corresponding to the previous workstation.

[0107] It should be noted that the aforementioned detection components can be used to detect the current assembly status, such as cameras, and this embodiment does not impose any limitations on this. Furthermore, each workstation in this embodiment can be set with corresponding standard assembly requirements, which can be used to determine whether the glasses to be assembled meet the standard requirements. Specific standard assembly requirements can be set according to actual conditions, and this embodiment does not impose any limitations on this.

[0108] Step S42: Perform a first test on the glasses to be assembled using the detection component, and when the first test result meets the previous standard assembly requirements, assemble the glasses to be assembled using the corresponding currently required materials and the corresponding current assembly process.

[0109] In actual use, when the glasses to be assembled arrive at the current workstation, the production line equipment can obtain the previous standard assembly requirements corresponding to the previous workstation, and at the same time control the detection component of the current workstation to take pictures of the glasses to be assembled (i.e., the first detection mentioned above), obtain the current picture result as the first detection result, and determine whether the glasses to be assembled meet the standard assembly requirements based on the first detection result. Since the current workstation has not started assembly at this time, it can be determined whether the glasses to be assembled meet the previous standard assembly requirements corresponding to the previous workstation based on the first detection result.

[0110] When the glasses to be assembled meet the assembly requirements of the previous standard, it can be said that the glasses to be assembled meet the requirements, and the corresponding current assembly process can be executed at the current workstation, using the materials currently required for assembly.

[0111] If the glasses to be assembled do not meet the previous standard assembly requirements, it indicates that the glasses to be assembled do not meet the requirements, and the current workstation can output an abnormal signal to trigger an alarm.

[0112] It should also be emphasized that, in this embodiment, each workstation can also send real-time assembly information back to the order management system after assembly is completed, and can issue an alarm if it does not match the current order to be produced.

[0113] Furthermore, to further improve quality requirements, in this embodiment, after the step of assembling the glasses to be assembled using the corresponding currently required materials according to the corresponding currently assembled process, the method further includes:

[0114] Step S43: Obtain the current standard assembly requirements corresponding to the current workstation;

[0115] Step S44: Perform a second inspection on the assembled glasses to be assembled using the detection component, and when the second inspection result meets the current standard assembly requirements, transfer the assembled glasses to the next workstation.

[0116] It is understandable that the above-mentioned current standard assembly requirements may be the standard assembly requirements corresponding to the current workstation.

[0117] In actual use, after the glasses to be assembled are assembled in the current workstation, the production line equipment can obtain the current standard assembly requirements corresponding to the current workstation, and at the same time control the detection component of the current workstation to take pictures of the assembled glasses to be assembled (i.e. the second detection mentioned above), obtain the current picture result as the second detection result, and determine whether the assembled glasses to be assembled meet the standard assembly requirements based on the second detection result. Since the current workstation is now fully assembled, it is possible to determine whether the assembled glasses to be assembled meet the current standard assembly requirements corresponding to the current workstation based on the first detection result.

[0118] If the assembled glasses meet the current standard assembly requirements, it means that the assembled glasses meet the requirements and can then be transported to the next work station.

[0119] If the assembled glasses do not meet the current standard assembly requirements, it indicates that the assembled glasses do not meet the requirements, and the current workstation can output an abnormal signal to trigger an alarm.

[0120] Furthermore, considering that the assembly station requires corresponding tooling for clamping and other assembly processes, and that different AI glasses require different materials, resulting in different tooling sizes, in this embodiment, the step of assembling the glasses to be assembled using the corresponding currently required materials and according to the corresponding currently required assembly process when the glasses to be assembled are detected to have arrived at the current workstation includes:

[0121] Step S401: Determine the target tooling size required for the corresponding workstation according to the current assembly process, and obtain the current tooling size of the current tooling for each workstation.

[0122] It should be noted that the target tooling size mentioned above can be the size of the tooling required by the workstation when performing the corresponding current assembly process. The current tooling size mentioned above can be the size of the tooling currently used by the workstation. In this embodiment, each workstation saves the corresponding tooling size when installing the tooling, which can then be used as the current tooling size mentioned above.

[0123] Step S402: When the current tooling size does not match the target tooling size, determine the corresponding target tooling based on the target tooling size;

[0124] Step S403: Replace the current tooling with the target tooling, and when the replacement is completed, assemble the glasses to be assembled using the corresponding required materials according to the corresponding current assembly process when the glasses to be assembled are detected to have arrived at the current workstation.

[0125] In practical use, once the production line equipment obtains the target tooling size and the current tooling size for each tool, it can compare the current tooling size with the corresponding target tooling size.

[0126] When the current tooling size matches the corresponding target tooling size, it indicates that the current tooling at this workstation can be used to perform the current assembly process, and therefore no replacement is needed. When the current tooling size does not match the corresponding target tooling size, it indicates that the current tooling at this workstation cannot be used to perform the current assembly process, and therefore replacement is required. In this case, the production line equipment can select the corresponding tooling as the target tooling based on the target tooling size, and then use the target tooling to replace the current tooling. After the replacement is completed, when the glasses to be assembled arrive at the current workstation, they can be assembled using the corresponding currently required materials according to the current assembly process through the target tooling.

[0127] Furthermore, to achieve the above objectives, this application also proposes a method for assembling smart glasses, referring to... Figure 6 , Figure 6 This is a flowchart illustrating the third embodiment of the smart glasses assembly method of this application. Based on the above embodiments, the third embodiment of the smart glasses assembly method of this application is proposed.

[0128] In this embodiment, the method is applied to a transport device in an assembly system. The assembly system also includes a production line, which includes at least two workstations, each of which is used to perform a different assembly process.

[0129] The method includes the following steps:

[0130] Step S80: Upon receiving the current required material information, determine the current required material corresponding to the current required material information. The current required material information is determined by the production line equipment based on the received current order to be produced.

[0131] Step S90: Transport the required materials to the corresponding workstation so that when the production line equipment detects that the glasses to be assembled have arrived at the current workstation, it uses the required materials to assemble the glasses according to the current assembly process. The current assembly process is determined based on the current production plan, which is determined by the production line equipment according to the current order to be produced.

[0132] It should be noted that the above method in this embodiment can be applied to transportation equipment, which is connected to the line equipment. Furthermore, the specific implementation process of the above method in this embodiment can refer to the above embodiments, and this embodiment will not elaborate on it further.

[0133] In this embodiment, the current production plan and required material information corresponding to the acquired order to be produced can be determined. Based on the current production plan, the current assembly process for each workstation is determined, and the required material information is transmitted to the transportation equipment. The transportation equipment can transport the required materials to the corresponding workstation. When the production line equipment detects that the glasses to be assembled have arrived at the current workstation, it uses the corresponding required materials to assemble the glasses according to the corresponding current assembly process. Because this embodiment can determine the current production plan and required material information based on the current order to be produced, determine the corresponding current assembly process based on the current production plan, and finally assemble the glasses according to the corresponding current assembly process using the required materials, it achieves assembly according to orders corresponding to the personalized needs of different customers.

[0134] Furthermore, in order to transport the currently required materials to the corresponding workstation, in this embodiment, the step of transporting the currently required materials to the corresponding workstation includes:

[0135] Step S91: Determine the location of the currently required material in the main warehouse, and obtain the location of the workstation corresponding to each of the currently required materials.

[0136] It should be noted that the aforementioned main warehouse can be a warehouse used to store various materials. The location of the materials can be the current location of the required materials within the main warehouse. In this embodiment, the locations of various materials in the main warehouse can be pre-stored in the transportation equipment, or they can be stored in the cloud and retrieved by the transportation equipment.

[0137] It should also be noted that the location of the aforementioned workstation can be the actual location of the workstation. In this embodiment, the location of each workstation can also be pre-stored in the transportation equipment or stored in the cloud for retrieval by the transportation equipment.

[0138] Step S92: Generate material transport routes corresponding to each of the currently required materials based on the location of the materials and the location of the materials;

[0139] Step S93: Integrate the material transportation routes to obtain a complete transportation route, and transport the currently required materials to the corresponding workstations according to the complete transportation route.

[0140] Understandably, the aforementioned material transportation route can be a route that transports the currently required materials from their current location to the location of the corresponding workstation.

[0141] In actual use, after obtaining the location of the material and the location of the workstation, the transportation equipment can first generate a material transportation route based on the location of the material and the location of the workstation. Then, due to the possibility of some overlapping paths, the various material transportation routes can be integrated, and the integrated result can be used as the complete transportation route. Then, according to the form of the complete transportation route, the required material is retrieved from the location of each material, and the required material is transported to the corresponding workstation according to the complete transportation route.

[0142] Furthermore, considering that during assembly, some materials may be unrelated to the customer's personalized customization, even though they are essential for assembling the glasses, such as cameras. These materials are typically grabbed in large quantities during retrieval, eliminating the need for repeated grabbing by transport equipment and thus improving production efficiency. Therefore, when determining the location of materials, if there is still a large quantity of these materials stored in the workstation, grabbing is unnecessary. Thus, in this embodiment, the step of determining the location of the currently required materials in the main warehouse and obtaining the location of the workstation corresponding to each currently required material includes:

[0143] Step S911: Divide the currently required materials according to the current production plan to obtain personalized materials and fixed materials.

[0144] It should be noted that the aforementioned personalized materials can be any materials in the glasses to be assembled that support personalization. The aforementioned fixed materials can be any materials in the glasses to be assembled that do not support personalization.

[0145] In this embodiment, the transportation equipment can obtain the current production plan from the production line equipment and, based on the current production plan, classify the currently required materials into personalized materials and fixed materials. For example, different colored picture frames can be classified as personalized materials, while cameras can be classified as fixed materials.

[0146] Step S912: Obtain the current remaining quantity of the fixed material in the workstation corresponding to the fixed material.

[0147] Understandably, in this embodiment, each workstation can store the remaining quantity of the corresponding material. The transport equipment can then obtain the remaining quantity of the fixed material within the corresponding workstation from the workstations associated with each fixed material, and use this as the aforementioned current remaining quantity.

[0148] Step S913: Take the personalized material and the fixed material whose current remaining quantity does not meet the corresponding preset quantity requirement as the new current required material;

[0149] Step S914: Determine the location of the new currently required material in the main warehouse, and obtain the location of the workstation corresponding to each new currently required material.

[0150] It is also understood that the aforementioned preset quantity requirement can be the quantity requirement for the workstation to prepare the fixed material. Since the required quantity of each fixed material is different in a pair of glasses to be assembled, different workstations can set different preset quantity requirements. The specific preset quantity requirements can be set according to the actual situation, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0151] In actual use, after the transportation equipment obtains the current remaining quantity, it can compare the current remaining quantity with the corresponding preset quantity requirement to determine whether the current remaining quantity meets the corresponding preset quantity requirement.

[0152] If the conditions are met, it indicates that the quantity of the fixed material is sufficient and there is no need to grab it at this time. If the conditions are not met, it indicates that the quantity of the fixed material is insufficient and grabbing is required. The transport equipment can then treat the fixed materials that do not meet the corresponding preset quantity requirements, along with the customized materials, as new materials needed for this grabbing operation. Finally, the location of the new materials needed in the main warehouse is determined, and the location of the corresponding workstation for each new material is obtained, thereby improving assembly efficiency.

[0153] Furthermore, considering that during material assembly, to ensure smooth assembly, it is generally necessary to pick up more personalized materials than the production quantity, because personalized materials may be damaged during assembly and need to be replaced with new personalized materials, in order to accurately determine the quantity of personalized materials to be picked up, in this embodiment, before the step of transporting the currently required materials to the corresponding workstation according to the complete transportation route, the following steps are also included:

[0154] Step S9301: Obtain historical production information and determine whether the current order to be produced has been produced based on the historical production information.

[0155] It should be noted that the aforementioned historical production information can be information about glasses previously assembled on the production line. In actual use, the transport equipment can obtain historical production information from the production line and determine whether the style of glasses to be assembled now has been produced before.

[0156] Step S9302: If yes, then obtain the historical loss rate of the personalized material based on the historical production information, and determine the required quantity of the personalized material based on the historical loss rate to clamp the personalized material;

[0157] Step S9303: If not, obtain similar materials to the personalized material, obtain the historical loss rate of the similar materials according to the historical production information, and determine the required quantity of the personalized material based on the historical loss rate to clamp the personalized material.

[0158] It should also be noted that the aforementioned historical loss rate can be the loss rate during previous assembly of the personalized material. The aforementioned similar material can be the material with the highest similarity to the personalized material in historical production information.

[0159] In practical use, if it is determined that the material has been produced before, the historical loss rate of the personalized material can be directly obtained from the historical production information. Based on this historical loss rate, the required quantity of the personalized material can be determined, and the personalized material can then be picked up according to the required quantity. The required quantity can be the sum of the order quantity and the loss quantity corresponding to the historical loss rate.

[0160] If it is determined that the material has not been produced before, the material most similar to the personalized material can be obtained from the historical production information as the similar material. The historical loss rate of the similar material can be obtained from the historical production information, and the required quantity of the personalized material can be obtained based on the historical loss rate. The personalized material can then be picked up according to the required quantity.

[0161] It should be emphasized that the specific implementation of the smart glasses assembly method performed by the transportation equipment in this embodiment can be referenced with the specific implementation of the smart glasses assembly method performed by the production line equipment, and this embodiment will not elaborate on this.
