Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of automation equipment technology, specifically relating to a rod assembly / disassembly module and rod assembly / disassembly device. Background Technology

[0002] In the anodizing process of precision components such as smart wearable devices, products are generally fixed using a "hamburger"-style fixture consisting of a base plate and a cover plate stacked together. After the product is installed into the fixture, it forms an assembly. Multiple assemblies are then strung together on the same string rod to further enter the anodizing process, thereby obtaining a product that meets the requirements. After the process is completed, the assemblies are removed one by one from the string rod.

[0003] Currently, the installation and disassembly of the assemblies and connecting rods formed after product and fixture assembly are all done manually. Since the product's outer surface is usually machined to a mirror finish, to avoid human contact with the product's outer surface, manual operation can only involve holding the base plate of the fixture in the assembly and then inserting the assembly into or removing the connecting rod. However, the gaps between fixtures on the connecting rod are small, and manual operation inevitably leads to accidental contact with the product's outer surface, resulting in defective product appearance and directly affecting product yield. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a rod assembly / disassembly module and rod assembly / disassembly device to solve the problem that the product is easily damaged due to accidental contact during manual rod assembly / disassembly, which affects the product yield.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the first aspect of this application provides a detachable rod assembly module, including a base, a clamping mechanism, a scraper mechanism, a first lifting mechanism, and a second lifting mechanism. The clamping mechanism, the second lifting mechanism, and the first lifting mechanism are arranged sequentially and spaced apart on the base along a first direction. A loading / unloading waiting area is formed between the first lifting mechanism and the second lifting mechanism, and a rod positioning area is formed between the first lifting mechanism and the clamping mechanism. The scraper mechanism is disposed on the base and has a scraper body that moves along the first direction and along a third direction.

[0006] Wherein, the third direction intersects with the first direction, and the third direction is consistent with the thickness direction of the base.

[0007] As a further improvement to the above technical solution:

[0008] In some embodiments, the spacing of the loading / unloading waiting areas in the first direction is at least greater than the thickness of a jig to be removed or inserted.

[0009] In some embodiments, the clamping mechanism includes a bracket module and a pressure claw module;

[0010] The bracket module is disposed on the base and has a supporting part;

[0011] The pressure claw module is disposed on the base, and the pressure claw body of the pressure claw module is arranged facing the second lifting mechanism, forming a limiting space between the pressure claw body and the lifting part.

[0012] In some embodiments, the lifting part extends along a second direction on the base, and multiple pressure claw modules are provided, with the multiple pressure claw modules arranged side by side on the base along the second direction;

[0013] The second direction intersects with both the first direction and the third direction.

[0014] In some embodiments, the pressure gripper module further includes a first pressure gripper drive assembly and a second pressure gripper drive assembly;

[0015] At least one second pressure claw drive component is provided at the output end of the first pressure claw drive component;

[0016] The output end of the second pressure claw drive assembly is connected to the pressure claw body;

[0017] The pressure claw body moves along the first direction under the drive of the first pressure claw driving component and moves along the third direction under the drive of the second pressure claw driving component.

[0018] In some embodiments, the assembly / disassembly rod module further includes a material detection unit disposed on the clamping mechanism;

[0019] And / or, a material counting unit disposed on the base, the material counting unit being located below the second lifting mechanism.

[0020] In some embodiments, the scraper mechanism includes a sliding frame, a first scraper drive assembly, a second scraper drive assembly, and a scraper body;

[0021] The sliding frame is slidably disposed on the base along the first direction;

[0022] The first scraper drive assembly is disposed on the base and drivenly connected to the sliding frame;

[0023] The second scraper drive assembly is disposed on the sliding frame and is drivenly connected to the scraper body;

[0024] The scraper body moves along the first direction under the drive of the first scraper driving component and moves up and down along the third direction under the drive of the second scraper driving component.

[0025] In some embodiments, the assembly / disassembly rod module further includes a spacing adjustment mechanism disposed on the base, the spacing adjustment mechanism being drivenly connected to the clamping mechanism, and the spacing adjustment mechanism driving the clamping mechanism to move along the first direction.

[0026] To achieve the above objectives, a second aspect of this application provides a rod assembly / disassembly device, including the rod assembly / disassembly module provided according to the first aspect.

[0027] As a further improvement to the above technical solution:

[0028] In some embodiments, the assembling and disassembling rod assembly device further includes an operating platform, a rod storage module, a carrier conveyor line, and a rod transfer module;

[0029] The operating platform is provided with a disassembly station, a temporary storage station for rods, and a rod assembly station at intervals along the second direction. Each of the rod assembly station and the disassembly station is provided with at least one rod assembly / disassembly module.

[0030] The rod storage module is arranged at the rod storage station.

[0031] The carrier conveyor line is set on the operating platform, and the conveying direction of the carrier conveyor line passes sequentially through the rod loading station, the rod temporary storage station and the rod unloading station;

[0032] The rod transfer module is disposed on the operating platform and is arranged across the rod installation station, the rod storage station and the rod removal station along the second direction. The rod transfer module has rod grippers that can move along the second direction and along the third direction.

[0033] Compared with the prior art, the assembly and disassembly device for connecting rods provided in this application through the above technical solution has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0034] The assembly / disassembly module provided in this application is used to assist in removing fixtures from or inserting fixtures onto the assembly rod. When inserting fixtures onto the assembly rod, the empty assembly rod is first clamped by the clamping mechanism, keeping the assembly rod in the positioning area. When inserting fixtures, the first lifting mechanism is lowered (without contacting the clamped assembly rod), and the second lifting mechanism rises and supports the assembly rod. At this time, the end of the assembly rod is in a cantilever state. After inserting the fixture through the end of the assembly rod, the fixture temporarily remains in the loading / unloading waiting area. Then, the second lifting mechanism is lowered, and the first lifting mechanism rises and supports the end of the assembly rod. The fixture located in the loading / unloading waiting area is pushed into the bottom of the assembly rod by the scraper body of the scraper mechanism, and then reset. This cycle continues until the assembly rod is fully loaded with fixtures.

[0035] When disassembling the fixtures on the truss rod, the truss rod is in a fully strung state. A clamping mechanism clamps one end of the fully strung truss rod, keeping it within the truss rod positioning area. When removing the fixture, the second lifting mechanism descends, while the first lifting mechanism rises and supports the end of the truss rod closest to the loading / unloading waiting area. Then, the scraper body of the scraper mechanism pushes the fixture at the first position on the truss rod to the loading / unloading waiting area for removal. The scraper body then resets, awaiting the next operation. Next, the second lifting mechanism rises and supports the truss rod, while the first lifting mechanism descends. At this point, the end of the truss rod is unobstructed, allowing a robotic arm or other tools to clamp the base of the fixture located in the loading / unloading waiting area, removing the fixture from the end of the truss rod and transferring it to a designated position. This cycle continues until all fixtures have been removed.

[0036] Thus, the assembly and disassembly module provided in this application can assist in removing the fixture from the rod or in inserting the fixture onto the rod, reducing manual intervention and labor intensity. Furthermore, during the operation, since the product is clamped between the base and the cover of the fixture, the scraper body of the scraper mechanism will only contact the base of the fixture, the back of the product, and the cover of the fixture during insertion and removal operations, and will not contact the surface of the product. Therefore, it effectively protects the appearance of the product and improves the product yield.

[0037] In addition, by alternately raising and lowering the support through the first and second lifting mechanisms, bending deformation of the connecting rod due to its long cantilever section is avoided, thereby preventing the fixture from slipping on the connecting rod and providing a guarantee for the subsequent automatic disassembly and insertion of the fixture.

[0060] The specific embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit this application.

[0061] The present application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and exemplary embodiments.

[0062] It should be noted that you should refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The fixture 20 holds the product 30 to be anodized. Multiple fixtures 20 holding the product 30 are then passed through the rod 10 for anodizing. After anodizing, the fixtures 20 are removed from the rod 10 one by one. The removed fixtures 20 are then sent to a fixture 20 disassembly device to separate the product 30 from the fixture 20. In the prior art, the work of loading and unloading the fixtures 20 from the rod 10 is usually done manually. Manual operation has many drawbacks. Therefore, this embodiment provides a rod loading / unloading module C200 to replace manual operation.

[0063] Furthermore, to facilitate understanding of the technical solution of this application, this embodiment is illustrated in the appendix. Figure 3 A three-dimensional coordinate system was established, in which the X-axis represents the first direction, the Y-axis represents the second direction, and the Z-axis represents the third direction.

[0064] To address the problems associated with the manual removal and installation of the fixture 20 in the existing technology, on the one hand, please refer to... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 This embodiment provides a rod assembly / disassembly module C200, which can be used to assist in removing the fixture 20 from the rod 10 or to assist in inserting the fixture 20 onto the rod 10. That is, the rod assembly / disassembly module C200 has both assembly and disassembly functions.

[0065] The assembly / disassembly rod assembly C200 includes a base C210, a clamping mechanism C220, a scraper mechanism C230, a first lifting mechanism C240, and a second lifting mechanism C250. The clamping mechanism C220, the second lifting mechanism C250, and the first lifting mechanism C240 ​​are sequentially spaced on the base C210 along a first direction. A loading / unloading waiting area C202 is formed between the first lifting mechanism C240 ​​and the second lifting mechanism C250. A rod positioning area C201 is formed between the first lifting mechanism C240 ​​and the clamping mechanism C220. The scraper mechanism C230 is disposed on the base C210 and has a scraper body C234 that moves along the first direction and along a third direction. The third direction intersects with the first direction and is consistent with the thickness direction of the base C210.

[0066] In this embodiment, the assembly and disassembly rod module C200 is arranged horizontally, and the thickness direction of the base C210 is vertical (i.e., the Z-axis direction, the third direction). The first direction and the second direction described later are both located in the horizontal plane. The base C210 is used to provide installation and support. The clamping mechanism C220, the scraper mechanism C230, the first lifting mechanism C240 ​​and the second lifting mechanism C250 are all integrated on the base C210, realizing modular integration and better overall integrity.

[0067] Furthermore, considering the stability of the assembly and disassembly rod module C200, the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction defined in this embodiment are mutually perpendicular.

[0068] The assembly / disassembly module C200, through the cooperation of clamping mechanism C220, scraper mechanism C230, first lifting mechanism C240, and second lifting mechanism C250, assists in removing the fixture 20 from the rod 10 or in inserting the fixture 20 onto the rod 10. To facilitate understanding of the technical solution of this embodiment, the working principle of the assembly / disassembly module C200 is explained below in conjunction with the removal and insertion of the fixture 20, as detailed below:

[0069] Please refer to the following: Figure 5 and Figure 6When the fixture 20 on the rod 10 is removed, the rod 10 is in a fully strung state. The clamping mechanism C220 clamps one end of the fully strung rod 10, keeping it in the rod positioning area C201. When removing the fixture 20, the second lifting mechanism C250 descends to a retracted state to avoid interfering with the movement of the fixture 20. Then, the first lifting mechanism C240 ​​rises and supports one end of the rod 10 near the loading / unloading waiting area C202. Then, the scraper body C234 of the scraper mechanism C230 pushes the fixture 20 at the first position on the rod 10 to the loading / unloading waiting area C202 to await removal. Afterward, the scraper body C234 resets to await the next operation. Next, the second lifting mechanism C250 rises and lifts the rod 10, while the first lifting mechanism C240 ​​descends to the retracted state. At this time, the end of the rod 10 is unobstructed, so that the base 21 of the fixture 20 located in the loading and unloading waiting area C202 can be clamped by a robotic arm or other tools to remove the fixture 20 from the end of the rod 10 and transfer it to the designated position. This process is repeated until all fixtures 20 are removed.

[0070] When the jig 20 is inserted into the rod 10, the action of installing and removing the rod module C200 is the reverse of removing the jig. Specifically, the empty rod is first clamped in the clamping mechanism C220, so that the rod 10 is held in the rod positioning area C201. The length of the rod positioning area C201 in the first direction is consistent with the body of the rod 10 to ensure that the rod 10 can be accommodated and supported. When inserting the jig 20, the first lifting mechanism C240 ​​is controlled to descend to the retracted state (in this state, the first lifting mechanism C240 ​​does not contact the clamped rod 10 and the vertical distance between them is sufficient for the jig 20 to pass through), and the second lifting mechanism C250 supports the rod 10. At this time, the end of the rod 10 is in a cantilever state, so as to facilitate the insertion of the jig 20 through the end of the rod 10. Since the second lifting mechanism C250 is not retracted, the currently inserted jig 20 is temporarily left in the loading and unloading waiting area C202. Then, the second lifting mechanism C250 is lowered to the retracted state to avoid interfering with the movement of the fixture 20. The first lifting mechanism C240 ​​then rises and supports the end of the truss rod 10. The scraper body C234 of the scraper mechanism C230 pushes the fixture 20, located in the loading / unloading waiting area C202, into the bottom of the truss rod 10, and then resets. This cycle continues until the truss rod 10 is fully pierced with the fixture 20.

[0071] Thus, compared to the prior art, the assembly and disassembly rod module C200 provided in this embodiment can assist in the removal of the fixture 20 on the rod 10 or assist in the insertion of the fixture 20 onto the rod 10, reducing manual intervention and labor intensity. Furthermore, during the operation, since the product 30 is clamped between the base 21 and the pressure cap 22 of the fixture 20, the scraper body C234 of the scraper mechanism C230 will only contact the base 21 of the fixture 20, the back of the product 30, and the pressure cap 22 of the fixture 20 during the insertion and removal operations, and will not contact the surface (appearance surface or anodized surface) of the product 30. Therefore, it effectively protects the appearance surface of the product 30 and improves the yield of the product 30.

[0072] In addition, by alternately lifting and lowering the first lifting mechanism C240 ​​and the second lifting mechanism C250, bending and deformation of the connecting rod 10 due to its long cantilever section are avoided, thereby preventing the fixture 20 from sliding on the connecting rod 10, and providing a guarantee for the subsequent automatic disassembly and insertion of the fixture 20.

[0073] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 Furthermore, the spacing of the loading / unloading waiting area C202 in the first direction is at least greater than the thickness of one jig 20. This ensures that at least one jig 20 can be loaded or unloaded at a time, ensuring convenient loading and unloading of jig 20.

[0074] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The aforementioned first lifting mechanism C240 ​​includes a first bracket body C242 and two first lifting drive components C241 arranged in alignment along a second direction. The first bracket body C242 extends along the second direction, and its two ends are respectively driven connected to the corresponding first lifting drive components C241. The two first lifting drive components C241 synchronously output lifting motion to drive the first bracket body C242 to perform lifting motion in a third direction (i.e., the vertical direction), so that the first bracket body C242 can lift the connecting rod 10 or release contact with the connecting rod 10 (i.e., descend to the retracted state).

[0075] Similarly, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The aforementioned second lifting mechanism C250 includes a second bracket body C252 and two second lifting drive assemblies C251 arranged in alignment along a second direction. The second bracket body C252 extends along the second direction, and its two ends are respectively driven connected to the corresponding second lifting drive assembly C251. The two second lifting drive assemblies C251 synchronously output lifting motion to drive the second bracket body C252 to perform lifting motion in a third direction, so that the second bracket body C252 can lift the connecting rod 10 or release contact with the connecting rod 10 (i.e., descend to the retracted state).

[0076] Optionally, both the first lifting drive assembly C241 and the second lifting drive assembly C251 can be selected as cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, electric cylinders, electric push rods, lead screw motors, or linear motors, etc.

[0077] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The clamping mechanism C220 includes a bracket module C221 and a clamping jaw module C222. The bracket module C221 is mounted on the base C210 and has a lifting portion. The clamping jaw module C222 is mounted on the base C210, with the clamping jaw body C2222 of the clamping jaw module C222 facing the bracket module C221. A limiting space C220a is formed between the clamping jaw body C2222 and the lifting portion. The limiting space C220a can be used to clamp one end of the rod 10, so that the other end of the rod 10 extends along a first direction, thereby the entire rod 10 is received in the rod positioning area C201, which facilitates the removal or insertion of the fixture 20.

[0078] In some embodiments, the limiting space C220a and the connecting rod 10 are in clearance fit to allow space for deformation of the connecting rod 10 and to protect the connecting rod 10.

[0079] Multiple clamping jaw modules C222 are provided, and the multiple clamping jaw modules C222 are arranged side by side on the base C210 along the second direction; in this way, multiple rods 10 can be clamped and positioned simultaneously, which greatly improves work efficiency. The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction and the third direction respectively.

[0080] The clamping jaw module C222 also includes a first clamping jaw drive assembly C2220 and a second clamping jaw drive assembly C2221. The first clamping jaw drive assembly C2220 can be mounted on the base C210, or on other bases. At least one second clamping jaw drive assembly C2221 is provided at the output end of the first clamping jaw drive assembly C2220. The output end of the second clamping jaw drive assembly C2221 is connected to the clamping jaw body C2222. The clamping jaw body C2222 moves along a first direction under the drive of the first clamping jaw drive assembly C2220, and moves along a third direction under the drive of the second clamping jaw drive assembly C2221. Thus, through the cooperation of the first clamping jaw drive assembly C2220 and the second clamping jaw drive assembly C2221, it is possible to avoid obstacles before and after clamping the rod 10, as well as to clamp and release the rod 10.

[0081] Optionally, both the first gripper drive assembly C2220 and the second gripper drive assembly C2221 can be selected as cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, electric cylinders, electric push rods, lead screw motors, or linear motors, etc.

[0082] Please see Figure 3The mounting and dismounting rod module C200 also includes a material detection unit C270 mounted on the clamping mechanism C220; specifically, the material detection unit C270 is mounted on the bracket module C221 and is used to detect whether the rod 10 is mounted on the lifting part. The material detection unit C270 can be selected as an infrared sensor, a laser sensor, a proximity switch, a limit switch, etc.

[0083] Please see Figure 3 In some embodiments, the assembly / disassembly rod module C200 further includes a material counting unit C280 disposed on the base C210, located below the second lifting mechanism C250. Thus, the material counting unit C280 can count the number of fixtures 20 loaded or removed. Optionally, the material counting unit C280 can be an infrared sensor, a laser sensor, a proximity switch, or a CCD vision unit.

[0084] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The aforementioned scraper mechanism C230 includes a sliding frame C231, a first scraper drive assembly C232, a second scraper drive assembly C233, and a scraper body C234. The sliding frame C231 is slidably mounted on a base C210 along a first direction. The first scraper drive assembly C232 is mounted on the base C210 and drivenly connected to the sliding frame C231. The second scraper drive assembly C233 is mounted on the sliding frame C231 and drivenly connected to the scraper body C234. The first scraper drive assembly C232 can output linear telescopic movement along the first direction, and the second scraper drive assembly C233 can output lifting and lowering movement along a third direction. Thus, the scraper body C234 moves along the first direction under the drive of the first scraper drive assembly C232 and undergoes lifting and lowering movement along a third direction under the drive of the second scraper drive assembly C233.

[0085] In this embodiment, the sliding frame C231 and the base C210 can be slidably fitted by a combination of slide rail and slider, a combination of slide groove and slider, or a combination of sleeve and shaft.

[0086] Understandably, when it is necessary to remove the fixture 20 from the rod 10, the first scraper drive assembly C232 is controlled to first drive the sliding frame C231, the second scraper drive assembly C233, and the scraper body C234 to move in the first direction, that is, to drive the scraper body C234 to move a first preset stroke toward the loading and unloading waiting area C202, so that the scraper body C234 moves above the fixture 20 to be removed. Then the second scraper drive assembly C233 drives the scraper body C234 to descend, so that the scraper body C234 aligns with the pressure cap 22 side of the fixture 20. Then the first scraper drive assembly C232 is controlled to continue to drive the scraper body C234 to move toward the loading and unloading waiting area C202, thereby pushing the fixture 20 into the loading and unloading waiting area C202.

[0087] When the fixture 20 needs to be loaded onto the rod 10, the fixture 20 is located in the loading / unloading waiting area C202. The first scraper drive assembly C232 drives the sliding frame C231, the second scraper drive assembly C233, and the scraper body C234 to move in a first direction, i.e., the scraper body C234 moves a second preset stroke towards the loading / unloading waiting area C202, so that the scraper body C234 moves above the fixture 20 to be loaded. Then, the second scraper drive assembly C233 drives the scraper body C234 to descend, aligning it with the base 21 of the fixture 20 or one side of the back of the product 30. Next, the first scraper drive assembly C232 drives the scraper body C234 to move away from the loading / unloading waiting area C202, thereby loading the fixture 20 onto the rod 10.

[0088] Optionally, both the first scraper drive assembly C232 and the second scraper drive assembly C233 can be selected as cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, electric cylinders, electric push rods, lead screw motors, or linear motors, etc.

[0089] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the assembly and disassembly rod assembly C200 further includes a spacing adjustment mechanism C260 disposed on a base C210. ​​The spacing adjustment mechanism C260 is drivenly connected to a clamping mechanism C220, which is slidably disposed on the base C210 via a sliding seat C261. The spacing adjustment mechanism C260 is used to drive the clamping mechanism C220 to move along a first direction. Thus, by driving the clamping mechanism C220 to move along the first direction through the spacing adjustment mechanism C260, the length of the rod positioning area C201 is adjusted, thereby adapting to rods 10 of different lengths.

[0090] Optionally, the spacing adjustment mechanism C260 can be selected as a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, electric cylinder, electric push rod, lead screw motor or linear motor, etc.

[0091] On the other hand, please see Figures 1 to 8This embodiment also provides a rod assembly / disassembly device C0. The rod assembly / disassembly device C0 includes the rod assembly / disassembly module C200 provided above.

[0092] Furthermore, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the rod assembly / disassembly device C0 also includes an operating platform C100, a rod storage module C400, a carrier conveyor line C500, and a rod transfer module C300. The operating platform C100 is provided with a rod disassembly station C110, a rod storage station C120, and a rod assembly station C130 spaced apart along the second direction. Each of the rod assembly station C130 and the rod disassembly station C110 is equipped with at least one rod assembly / disassembly module C200.

[0093] The rod storage module C400 is arranged at the rod storage station C120. The rod storage module C400 has a material tray, which can store spare good rods 10 and a temporary storage position for faulty rods 10, so as to facilitate the replacement and replenishment of rods 10 and ensure the normal operation of the process.

[0094] The vehicle conveyor line C500 is installed on the operating platform C100, and the conveying direction of the vehicle conveyor line C500 is ( Figure 7 (Indicated by arrow V3) The components pass sequentially through the dismantling station C110, the temporary storage station C120, and the assembly station C130. The carrier conveyor line C500 can transport the carrier C900 containing the components 10 (empty or full) sequentially to the dismantling station C110, the temporary storage station C120, and the assembly station C130.

[0095] The rod transfer module C300 is set on the operating platform C100 and is arranged across the rod disassembly station C110, rod storage station C120 and rod assembly station C130 along the second direction. The rod transfer module C300 has rod grippers that can move along the second direction and along the third direction.

[0096] In some embodiments, a fully loaded string of rods 10 on a carrier C900 can be gripped by the rod transfer module C300's rod gripper and transferred to the rod assembly / disassembly module C200 at the rod disassembly station C110 to remove the fixture 20. Alternatively, an empty string of rods on a carrier C900 can be gripped by the rod transfer module C300's rod gripper and transferred to the rod assembly / disassembly module C200 at the rod assembly station C130 to load the fixture 20.

[0097] In other embodiments, damaged rods 10 on the rod transfer module C200 can be picked up by the rod grippers of the rod transfer module C300 and transferred to the rod storage module C400 for temporary storage. Alternatively, spare rods 10 (good rods 10) on the rod storage module C400 can be picked up by the rod grippers of the rod transfer module C300 to fill empty spaces on the carrier C900.

[0098] Please see Figure 7 and Figure 8 Furthermore, along the conveying direction of the carrier conveyor line C500, the rod assembly / disassembly device C0 also includes a barcode scanning and detection module C800 located upstream of the rod disassembly station C110. The barcode scanning and detection module C800 works in conjunction with the rod transfer module C300. Specifically, the barcode scanning and detection module C800 has a barcode scanner, and each rod 10 has a stored information code. The barcode scanner can scan the information code on the rod 10, and the barcode scanning and detection module C800 extracts the content from the information code and feeds it back to the control system. When the barcode scanning and detection module C800 cannot read the information code, it can determine that the current rod 10 is a faulty rod. After the fixture 20 is subsequently removed, the faulty rod is transferred to the rod temporary storage module C400 via the rod transfer module C300 and replaced with a spare rod 10 to ensure the normal operation of subsequent processes.

[0099] Optionally, the information encoding can be a barcode, QR code, or RFID tag, etc. It should be understood that the above are merely illustrative examples and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this application.

[0100] Please see Figure 7 and Figure 8 In some embodiments, the rod assembly / disassembly device C0 further includes a fixture unloading module C600 and a fixture loading module C700 disposed on the operating platform C100. The fixture unloading module C600 is arranged corresponding to the rod disassembly station C110, and the fixture loading module C700 is arranged corresponding to the rod assembly station C130. Thus, by cooperating with the rod assembly / disassembly module C200 at the rod disassembly station C110, the fixture 20 on the rod 10 can be automatically removed. By cooperating with the fixture loading module C700 at the rod assembly station C130, the fixture 20 can be automatically loaded onto the rod 10, thereby improving the automation level of the rod assembly / disassembly device.

[0101] The aforementioned rod transfer module C300, fixture unloading module C600, and fixture loading module C700 can all employ a robotic arm structure, thereby utilizing the multi-degree-of-freedom flexibility of the robotic arm to complete the transfer of the rod 10. The robotic arm can be selected as a Cartesian coordinate robotic arm, a cylindrical coordinate robotic arm, or an articulated robotic arm, etc.
