[0002] As electronic products become thinner, lighter, and more integrated, the internal structure of laptops is becoming increasingly compact. Therefore, the layout and organization of internal cables (such as display cables, touchpad cables, and power cords) have become crucial.

[0044] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of this invention more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only some embodiments of this invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.
[0045] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper," "lower," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of the invention. It should be noted that when a component is considered to be "connected" to another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be a component positioned centrally in the connection.
[0046] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0047] This invention provides a laptop computer assembly device, such as... Figures 1 to 10 As shown, the system includes a first conveyor line 10, a second conveyor line 20, and a third conveyor line 30 arranged sequentially adjacent to each other along the X-axis. A positioning mechanism 40 is installed on the second conveyor line 20, and a cable management assembly 50 is provided on one side of the second conveyor line 20. The first conveyor line 10 is used to transport the product 100 to be assembled and its carrier 200 to the second conveyor line 20. The second conveyor line 20 is used to transport the cable-managed product 100 to the third conveyor line 30. The third conveyor line 30 is used to transport the cable-managed product 100 to the next workstation.
[0048] In this embodiment, a second guide frame 21 arranged along the X-axis is fixedly installed on the second conveyor line 20. Several second rollers 22 are rotatably connected to the second guide frame 21. A positioning mechanism 40 is used to perform primary positioning of the carrier 200 and secondary positioning of the product 100 on the carrier 200. The second rollers 22 contact the positioned carrier 200. A cable management assembly 50 is used to manage the cables on the product 100 after secondary positioning, so that the cables are assembled on the product 100 according to a preset path. In this embodiment, the product 100 is a semi-finished product of a laptop computer, such as a laptop casing with cables.
[0049] It should be noted that the laptop computer assembly equipment provided by this invention uses a positioning mechanism 40 to perform primary positioning of the carrier 200 and secondary positioning of the product 100 on the carrier 200, ensuring the precise position of the product 100 at the cable management station. The cable management component 50 can accurately and automatically assemble cables according to a preset path, avoiding cable management failures caused by product 100 misalignment, thereby improving the product's cable management yield and efficiency. The three-section conveyor line connection design makes the process of product 100 from feeding to cable management to discharging smoother, avoiding waiting or error accumulation caused by switching between single conveyor line stations. The contact assistance of the guide frame and rollers improves the stability of product 100 during conveying and positioning. Therefore, this invention solves the problem of low cable management efficiency in existing laptop computer assembly equipment.
[0050] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the laptop assembly equipment also includes a support frame 60 and a rack 70. One end of the first conveyor line 10, the second conveyor line 20, and the third conveyor line 30 are respectively connected to the support frame 60, and the other end of the first conveyor line 10, the second conveyor line 20, and the third conveyor line 30 are respectively connected to the rack 70. The cable management assembly 50 is connected to the rack 70. The first conveyor line 10, the second conveyor line 20, and the third conveyor line 30 are all belt conveyors well known in the art, and their specific structures will not be described in detail.
[0051] Among them, two first guide frames 11 are relatively distributed on the first conveyor line 10 along the X-axis direction, and several first rollers 12 are rotatably connected to the first guide frames 11. Two third guide frames 31 are relatively distributed on the third conveyor line 30 along the X-axis direction, and several third rollers 32 are rotatably connected to the third guide frames 31.
[0052] In practical implementation, a rigid frame structure is formed by setting up a support frame 60 and a machine frame 70, with one end of the three conveyor lines connected to the support frame 60 and the other end connected to the machine frame 70. This structure effectively reduces vibration and displacement during equipment operation, maintains the parallelism and coplanarity of the conveyor lines, and ensures the smooth movement of the carrier 200 along the entire conveying path. The first guide frame 11, the second guide frame 21, the third guide frame 31, and their rollers together constitute the guiding system for the entire process. The rollers contact the carrier 200, limiting its offset and rotation, and ensuring stable conveying of the carrier 200 along the X-axis, thus providing a reliable reference position for subsequent positioning and cable management. This structure effectively solves the problems of easy offset of the carrier 200 during conveying, unstable conveyor line plane, and inconsistent cable management station references, achieving smoothness and high-precision guidance during the conveying process, thereby further ensuring the accuracy of product 100 positioning and cable management, and improving cable management yield and assembly efficiency.
[0053] like Figure 1 and Figure 10 As shown, a detection assembly 80 for visually inspecting the cable assembly of product 100 is installed on the frame 70. The detection assembly 80 includes a detection frame 81 fixedly installed on the frame 70, a detection slide 82 slidably connected to the detection frame 81, a detection camera 83 arranged along the Z-axis fixedly connected to the detection slide 82, a locking handle 84 for locking and positioning the detection slide 82 on the side wall, and a detection light source 85 for providing illumination to the detection camera 83 installed on the detection frame 81. The detection light source 85 has a through hole 851 corresponding to the detection camera 83.
[0054] In practical implementation, by setting up a detection component 80 on the frame 70, the detection camera 83 can perform real-time shooting and image recognition on the product 100 after cable management is completed, realizing automatic detection of whether the cable is pressed in properly, whether there is crossing or loosening, etc., avoiding manual re-inspection and improving detection efficiency and consistency. Since the detection slide 82 is slidably connected on the detection frame 81, it can be flexibly adjusted according to different products 100 or detection areas; after setting the locking handle 84, the detection slide 82 can be quickly locked and positioned to ensure the positional stability and repeatability accuracy of the detection camera 83 during operation. Since the detection light source 85 is fixedly installed on the detection frame 81, it provides uniform illumination to the detection area and eliminates ambient light interference; the detection light source 85 has a through hole 851 corresponding to the detection camera 83, so that the illumination and imaging are coaxial, ensuring clear images, high edge contrast, and improving the accuracy of visual recognition. This structure solves the problems of the assembly equipment's inability to detect cable management quality in real time, the inability to adjust the detection position, and the instability of imaging. It realizes automated visual inspection and quality judgment of cable management results. The detection position can be flexibly adjusted and the imaging is clear and stable, thereby improving the detection accuracy and production yield of the cable management process.
[0055] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the positioning mechanism 40 includes a first positioning component 41 and a second positioning component 42. The first positioning component 41 is used to perform a first positioning on the carrier 200 and restrict the carrier 200 from moving along the XYZ axis. The second positioning component 42 is used to perform a second positioning on the product 100 on the carrier 200 after the first positioning and restrict the product 100 from moving along the XYZ axis.
[0056] In practice, the first positioning component 41 positions the carrier 200 initially, ensuring its precise and stable position at the cable management station. Based on this initial positioning, the second positioning component 42 performs a second positioning of the product 100, eliminating gap errors between the product 100 and the carrier 200 and ensuring the precise posture of the product 100. This dual positioning structure restricts the movement of the carrier 200 and the product 100 along the XYZ axes, maintaining a stable position for the product 100 throughout the cable management process and providing a precise reference for the cable management component 50. With the product 100 accurately positioned, the cable management path executed by the cable management component 50 is more precise, effectively preventing cable misalignment, under-crimping, and other defects, thereby improving the success rate and consistency of cable management operations. The above structure can solve the problems of inaccurate docking and positioning of carrier 200, relative displacement between product 100 and carrier 200, and insufficient cable management accuracy. It achieves dual precise positioning of carrier 200 and product 100, ensuring the stability of product 100's posture at the cable management station, thereby improving the accuracy of the cable management path and the cable management yield.
[0057] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the first positioning component 41 includes a mounting frame 411 fixedly installed on the second conveyor line 20. Two blocking cylinders 412 are mounted opposite each other on the mounting frame 411. Each blocking cylinder 412 has a baffle 413 installed on its telescopic rod to limit the movement of the carrier 200 along the X-axis direction.
[0058] The second conveyor line 20 is equipped with a first side-push cylinder 414 that is distributed opposite to the second guide frame 21. The first side-push cylinder 414 is used to push the carrier 200 to move along the Y-axis so that the carrier 200 abuts against the second roller 22. The mounting frame 411 is equipped with a first positioning cylinder 415, which is used to drive the positioning block 416 to move along the Z-axis so that the carrier 200 is positioned on the second conveyor line 20.
[0059] In specific implementation, the baffles 413 driven by the two blocking cylinders 412 limit the carrier 200 from the X-axis direction, effectively eliminating inertial deviation during transport; the first side-push cylinder 414 pushes the carrier 200 along the Y-axis direction, making it reliably fit against the second roller 22 of the second guide frame 21, establishing a precise lateral reference; the first positioning cylinder 415 drives the positioning block 416 to press the carrier 200 along the Z-axis direction, ensuring its vertical stability. The coordinated limiting in the three directions achieves the three-dimensional spatial positioning of the carrier 200. Since the carrier 200 is firmly and accurately positioned at the cable management station, it provides a stable spatial reference for the second positioning component 42 (product 100 positioning), ensuring accurate cable management path. Through the above structural design, the carrier 200 achieves multi-dimensional precise positioning in the X, Y, and Z directions, effectively solving the problems of inertial deviation, lateral deviation, and vertical instability that easily occur after the carrier 200 stops during transport in the prior art. This structure has high positioning accuracy and good repeatability, providing a stable and reliable benchmark for the secondary positioning of product 100 and subsequent thread sorting operations, thereby improving thread sorting accuracy and production yield.
[0060] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the second positioning component 42 includes a second side-push cylinder 421 mounted on the second conveyor line 20. The second side-push cylinder 421 is used to drive the side-push block 422 to move along the Y-axis direction so that the product 100 abuts against the positioning block 416.
[0061] Each baffle 413 is equipped with a forward thrust cylinder 423, which drives the forward thrust block 424 to move along the X-axis to clamp and position the product 100; the mounting frame 411 is also equipped with a second positioning cylinder 425 adjacent to the first positioning cylinder 415, which drives the positioning frame 426 to move along the Z-axis to press and position the product 100 on the carrier 200.
[0062] In specific implementation, the second side-push cylinder 421 drives the side-push block 422 to move along the Y-axis, causing the product 100 to abut against the positioning block 416, eliminating the lateral gap of the product 100; the forward-push cylinder 423 on the baffle 413 drives the forward-push block 424 to clamp the product 100 along the X-axis, further limiting the front-rear position of the product 100; the second positioning cylinder 425 drives the positioning frame 426 to press the product 100 along the Z-axis, ensuring that the product 100 is firmly fixed in the vertical direction; thus, the product 100 is fully limited and fixed in the X, Y, and Z axes. Through the above structure, the second positioning component 42 can achieve comprehensive and accurate positioning of the product 100 in the X, Y, and Z directions, solving the problems of gaps, unstable posture, and easy deviation during the cable management process of the product 100 in the carrier 200 in the prior art. This structure can effectively ensure the stability of the posture and the accuracy of the position of the product 100 at the cable management station, providing a reliable benchmark for the automatic operation of the cable management component 50, thereby improving the cable management accuracy and yield, and enhancing the automation and adaptability of the equipment.
[0063] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the positioning frame 426 includes a first positioning plate 4261, a second positioning plate 4262, and a third positioning plate 4263 that are sequentially fastened together. The first positioning plate 4261 is connected to the telescopic rod of the second positioning cylinder 425. The third positioning plate 4263 is perpendicularly distributed to the second positioning plate 4262 and is used to press and position the product 100 on the carrier 200. In this embodiment, the end of the third positioning plate 4263 is connected to the first positioning plate 4261, and the number of third positioning plates 4263 is set to two.
[0064] In practical implementation, when the second positioning cylinder 425 drives the first positioning plate 4261 to move along the Z-axis, it drives the second positioning plate 4262 and the third positioning plate 4263 to move synchronously. This clamps and positions the product 100 on the carrier 200, facilitating subsequent cable management by the cable management assembly 50. This prevents the product 100 from shifting during cable management, improving the cable management yield of the cable management assembly 50. Therefore, this structure effectively eliminates the risk of product 100 offset, swaying, or instability, improves cable management accuracy, ensures the smooth progress of the cable management process, and thus improves production yield and equipment applicability.
[0065] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the carrier 200 is made of foam, and a side push plate 417 is installed on the telescopic rod of the first side push cylinder 414. At least one buffer 418 is installed on the side push plate 417.
[0066] In practical implementation, since the carrier 200 adopts a foam structure, a buffer 418 is set on its contact surface to effectively absorb the impact force when the first side-push cylinder 414 pushes, preventing the carrier 200 from being crushed or deformed. The buffer 418 provides a flexible transition, making the side-push positioning process of the carrier 200 smooth and without instantaneous impact. The buffer 418 can absorb the impact while ensuring that the carrier 200 is finally pushed into place, keeping the position of the product 100 stable and avoiding deviations during the cable management process. This structure can effectively improve the stability and accuracy of the carrier 200's positioning, reduce the impact and noise during equipment operation, extend the service life of the equipment, and ensure the smoothness and reliability of the cable management process.
[0067] like Figure 1 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the cable management assembly 50 includes a cable management robot 51 and a cable management head 52 connected to each other. The cable management robot 51 drives the cable management head 52 to move along the XYZ axis directions according to the cable management path, so that the cable management head 52 can perform cable management on the product 100. In this example, the cable management robot 51 can be a four-axis or six-axis robot, and its structure is a well-known structure in the art. The specific structure will not be described in detail.
[0068] In practical implementation, the cable management robot 51, through precise XYZ axis directional control, enables the cable management head 52 to move accurately along the preset cable management path, ensuring that cables are accurately and stably organized according to requirements, thus improving cable management accuracy. The cable management robot 51 can stably and efficiently perform repetitive cable management tasks, reducing errors caused by manual operation, ensuring consistency in each cable management operation, and thereby improving the yield rate of product 100. This structure significantly improves cable management accuracy and can flexibly adjust the cable management path according to different product 100 and cable requirements, improving cable management efficiency and production cycle time, while ensuring operational stability and consistency.
[0069] like Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the cable management head 52 includes a cable management base 521 connected to the cable management robot 51. The cable management base 521 is equipped with adjacent cable clamping cylinders 522 and 523. Two clamping jaws 524 are mounted on the clamping cylinders 522. A cable management bracket 525 is mounted on the telescopic rod of the 523. A cable management wheel 526 for crimping cables is rotatably connected to the end of the cable management bracket 525 away from the 523. A displacement sensor 529 is mounted on the bottom of the cable management base 521. A clamping needle 527 is mounted on the end of each clamping jaw 524 away from the clamping cylinder 522. The clamping needle 527 is securely connected to the clamping jaw 524. A pressure block 528 is fixedly mounted on one of the clamping jaws 524. The pressure block 528 has a pressure arc surface 5281. In this embodiment, the height of the pressure block 528 along the Z-axis is higher than the height of the clamping needle 527 along the Z-axis. To prevent damage to the cable during cable management by the clamping pins 527, sleeves 5271 are rotatably fitted onto both clamping pins 527, with the sleeves 5271 making rolling contact with the cable. A pressure regulating valve 53 is installed on the cable management base 521 to control the pressure of the clamping cylinder 522. By controlling the clamping pressure of the clamping cylinder 522, the clamping action of the grippers 524 and the rolling action of the cable management wheel 526 are better matched. Simultaneously, because the cable rolls and rubs against the sleeves 5271 during pulling, combined with appropriate clamping pressure, the cable management operation does not damage the cable sheath, and the cable management operation of the equipment is smoother, ensuring the successful completion of cable management and assembly operations.
[0070] In practice, through the cooperation of the clamping cylinder 522 and the cable guiding cylinder 523, the cable guiding head 52 can precisely control the clamping and guiding actions of the cable, achieving stable clamping and precise crimping of the cable. The cooperation of the clamping claw 524 and the clamping pin 527 effectively ensures the stability of the cable during the cable guiding process, avoiding deviation caused by unstable clamping. The telescopic rod of the cable guiding cylinder 523 drives the cable guiding bracket 525 and the cable guiding wheel 526 to perform precise crimping operations. The crimping action of the cable guiding wheel 526 effectively presses the cable into the predetermined position, avoiding damage to the cable or failure to accurately enter the slot due to excessive or insufficient crimping force. The design of the crimping block 528 and its combination with the crimping arc surface 5281 make the cable crimping more uniform and stable during the cable guiding process, preventing knots or interference when the cable guiding head 52 moves, ensuring that the cable is organized according to the predetermined path. By installing a displacement sensor 529 at the bottom of the cable management holder 521, the positional changes of the cable management head 52 can be monitored in real time, ensuring the accuracy of clamping and crimping operations and improving the stability and consistency of cable management. Through this structural design, the cable management head 52 can precisely clamp and crimp cables, ensuring that the cables are stably arranged in the predetermined position. The cooperation between the cable management wheel 526 and the cable pressing block 528 achieves efficient cable crimping and arrangement, while the displacement sensor 529 ensures precise control of the cable management process. This structure improves the cable management accuracy and yield of the assembly equipment, guaranteeing 100% product quality.
[0071] Working principle: During operation, the first conveyor line 10 transports the product 100 to be wired and its carrier 200 along the X-axis to the second conveyor line 20. The first positioning component 41 of the positioning mechanism 40 first positions the carrier 200, and then the second positioning component 42 positions the product 100 on the carrier 200 a second time. The wire arranging component 50 automatically assembles the cables on the product 100, so that the cables are assembled in the preset slots of the product 100 according to the preset path. This avoids wire arranging failure due to product 100 offset, thereby improving the wire arranging yield and efficiency of the assembly equipment and solving the problem of low wire arranging yield and efficiency in existing laptop assembly equipment.
[0072] When the carrier 200 is positioned once, the blocking cylinder near the third conveyor line 30 drives the baffle 413 to move along the Z-axis direction, preventing the carrier 200 from continuing to move along the X-axis direction; at the same time, the blocking cylinder near the first conveyor line 10 drives the corresponding baffle 413 to move along the Z-axis direction, preventing the carrier 200 from returning to the first conveyor line 10; then, the first side push cylinder 414 drives the side push plate 417 and the buffer 418 to move along the Y-axis direction, so that the carrier 200 comes into contact with the first roller 12; the first positioning cylinder 415 drives the positioning block 416 to move along the Z-axis direction, so that the positioning block 416 presses and positions the carrier 200, thereby realizing the first positioning of the carrier 200;
[0073] When the product 100 to be sorted undergoes secondary positioning, the second side-push cylinder 421 drives the side-push block 422 to move along the Y-axis, pushing the product 100 into contact with the positioning block 416. Then, the forward-push cylinder 423 on the baffle 413 drives the forward-push block 424 to move along the X-axis, so that the forward-push block 424 clamps and positions the product 100. Then, the second positioning cylinder 425 drives the first positioning plate 4261, the second positioning plate 4262, and the third positioning plate 4263 to move along the Z-axis, so that the third positioning plate 4263 presses and positions the product 100 on the carrier 200, thereby realizing the secondary positioning of the product 100.
[0074] After the carrier 200 and product 100 are positioned, the cable management robot 51 drives the cable management head 52 to move in three-dimensional space. The cable clamping cylinder 522 drives the cable clamping claw and cable clamping needle 527 to move relative to each other. The cable clamping needle 527 clamps the cable on the product 100. Then, the cable management cylinder 523 drives the cable management frame to move closer to or away from the product 100, so that the cable management wheel 526 crimps the cable clamped by the cable clamping needle 527, so that the cable is assembled into the slot of the product 100 according to the preset path. While the cable management robot 51 drives the cable management wheel 526 to crimp and assemble the cable, the sleeve 5271 rolls and contacts the cable, making the cable movement smoother and preventing damage to the cable due to excessive clamping pressure of the cable clamping needle 527. Furthermore, the design of the wire pressing block 528, combined with the wire pressing arc surface 5281, ensures more uniform and stable cable crimping during the cable management process. This prevents knots or interference when the cable management head 52 moves, ensuring the cables are arranged along the predetermined path. Simultaneously, the displacement sensor 529 ensures precise control of the cable management process. This structure improves the cable management accuracy and yield of the assembly equipment, guaranteeing the assembly quality of product 100.
