Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of dispensing and mounting equipment technology, specifically to a fully automatic dispensing and mounting equipment and its mounting method. Background Technology

[0002] Fully automatic dispensing and mounting equipment is a type of automated mounting equipment that dispenses adhesive onto a master material and then mounts the sub-materials onto the master material. Compared to manual mounting, fully automatic dispensing and mounting equipment can more precisely control the amount of adhesive dispensed and, through detection devices such as cameras, can more accurately identify the material position, achieving high-precision picking of sub-materials and high-precision mounting onto the master material.

[0003] However, for the mounting of multiple sub-materials with different models and categories, the error of the material picking angle when the mounting head picks up multiple sub-materials increases with the increase of the number, model and category of sub-materials, which leads to a decrease in the mounting accuracy on the master material and a decrease in the mounting quality of the finished material after mounting.

[0008] Optionally, the glue discharge height measuring component includes a mounting frame installed on the base, and a glue discharge bucket and a pressure sensor correspondingly installed on the mounting frame; The top of the glue discharge bucket is provided with a glue discharge port for the glue dispensing needle to discharge glue; The dispensing needle can press against the pressure sensor along the Z-axis direction to calibrate the height of the dispensing needle in the Z-axis direction.

[0009] Optionally, the first sliding module includes a sliding rail and a slider that are slidably connected; the dispensing mechanism further includes a dust cover mounted on the slider and an oil receiving assembly mounted on the underside of the sliding rail; The inner cavity of the dust cover faces the slide rail.

[0010] Optionally, the loading and unloading mechanism includes a second sliding module, a porous negative pressure adsorption platform, and a masterbatch fixture; The second sliding module is mounted on the base; the porous negative pressure adsorption stage is slidably connected to the second sliding module; The porous negative pressure adsorption platform is arrayed with multiple adsorption holes; the multiple adsorption holes adsorb the masterbatch fixture under negative pressure.

[0011] Optionally, the vibratory feeding mechanism includes a mounting base installed on the base, and an automatic feeding bin and a vibratory plate installed on the mounting base; the vibratory feeding mechanism also includes a pre-scanning camera mechanism disposed above the vibratory plate; The automatic feeding bin is connected to the flexible vibrating plate; The flexible vibrating plate can shake apart the multiple first sub-materials stacked inside it, and the pre-scanning camera mechanism can take pictures and position them so that the mounting mechanism can pick up the materials in place.

[0012] Optionally, the second sub-material feeding mechanism includes a third sliding module, a fixture adsorption plate, and a sub-material fixture; The third sliding module is mounted on the base; the fixture adsorption plate is slidably connected to the third sliding module; the fixture adsorption plate adsorbs the sub-material fixture under negative pressure; The sub-material fixture has multiple contoured grooves arranged in an array for placing the second sub-material.

[0013] Optionally, the mounting mechanism includes a fourth sliding module and a mounting head slidably mounted on the fourth sliding module; the mounting head includes a ZR linear actuator and a plurality of quick-change nozzle assemblies correspondingly connected to the ZR linear actuator; The quick-change nozzle assembly includes a magnetically connected and pluggable fastener and nozzle; the fastener is mounted on the ZR linear actuator.

[0014] Furthermore, the present invention also provides a mounting method for a fully automatic dispensing and mounting equipment, wherein the mounting method is implemented based on the fully automatic dispensing and mounting equipment described above, and the mounting method includes: The loading of the masterbatch is completed at the loading and unloading mechanism; The loading and unloading mechanism moves to below the dispensing mechanism; the dispensing mechanism takes pictures of the cavity to be mounted on the masterbatch and performs dispensing operation; the loading and unloading mechanism moves to the mounting area.

The loading and unloading mechanism is reset to unload the masterbatch.

[0015] (III) Beneficial Effects The beneficial effects of this invention are: The first component is fed in a stacked manner and needs to be dispersed by a vibrating feeding mechanism to facilitate the placement mechanism's pickup of the separated first component. The second component feeding mechanism neatly holds multiple second components. This neat placement ensures that the position of the second component is fixed relative to its fixture, allowing for the placement of various models of second components. This enables the placement mechanism to pick up different models of second components with high precision. The placement mechanism can pick up at least one first component and at least one second component, ultimately enabling it to pick up different quantities, models, and categories of components, thus improving the adaptability of the fully automated dispensing and placement equipment to different component placement requirements.

[0016] The mounting mechanism works in conjunction with the vibratory feeding mechanism and the second sub-material feeding mechanism to pick up sub-materials of different quantities, models, and categories. Compared to picking up and mounting sub-materials one by one sequentially, this significantly improves the transportation efficiency of multi-sub-material mounting operations, thereby increasing production efficiency. The mounting mechanism also works in conjunction with the upward-looking positioning camera, simultaneously adjusting the material pickup angle of all sub-materials. This synchronous adjustment effectively ensures the spacing between adjacent sub-materials, preventing collisions, and simultaneously completes the compensation adjustment of the material pickup angle for all sub-materials, effectively improving the mounting accuracy of sub-materials onto the master material and enhancing the mounting quality of the finished product.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] To better explain and facilitate understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0020] It should be noted that all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in the embodiments of the present invention are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0021] Furthermore, in this invention, descriptions involving "first," "second," etc., are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this invention, "a plurality of" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0022] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connection," "fixed," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "fixed" can mean a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; "connection" can mean a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can mean a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can mean the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise explicitly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0023] See Figure 1 and Figure 8 This invention provides a fully automatic dispensing and mounting equipment, comprising a base 1 and a loading / unloading mechanism 2, a dispensing mechanism 3, a mounting mechanism 4, a vibrating loading mechanism 5, a second sub-material loading mechanism 6, and a top-view positioning camera 7 mounted on the base 1. The loading / unloading mechanism 2 can transport master materials between the dispensing mechanism 3, the mounting area 11 on the base 1, and the mounting mechanism 4. The mounting mechanism 4 can rotate between the loading / unloading mechanism 2, the vibrating loading mechanism 5, the second sub-material loading mechanism 6, and the top-view positioning camera 7. The vibrating loading mechanism 5 can shake apart multiple first sub-materials stacked inside it. Multiple second sub-materials are neatly placed on the second sub-material loading mechanism 6. "Neatly placed" means that when multiple types (sizes) of second sub-materials are placed on the second sub-material loading mechanism 6, multiple second sub-materials of each type are arranged in an array. The mounting mechanism 4 can move to the top-view positioning camera 7 to take pictures, so as to independently compensate and adjust the material picking angle of at least one first sub-material and at least one second sub-material picked up. Among them, the top-view positioning camera 7 includes an industrial camera, lens, light source and supporting installation components. It is a core and key component of the equipment and plays an important role in ensuring the mounting accuracy and stability.

[0024] The base 1 provides an installation platform for the corresponding components of the fully automatic dispensing and mounting equipment. The loading and unloading mechanism 2 transports the master material, enabling loading and unloading. The dispensing mechanism 3 applies adhesive to the corresponding mounting positions on the master material, facilitating the subsequent mounting of sub-materials. The mounting mechanism 4 picks up multiple sub-materials of various types and mounts them onto the master material. The vibrating loading mechanism 5 loads the first sub-material, which is loaded in a stacked manner. The vibrating loading mechanism 5 shakes the first sub-material apart to facilitate the mounting mechanism 4 in picking up the separated sub-materials. In this embodiment, the first sub-material is a ceramic sheet. The second sub-material loading mechanism 6 neatly holds multiple second sub-materials. This neat placement ensures the position of the second sub-materials is fixed relative to their fixture, facilitating high-precision picking by the mounting mechanism 4. In this embodiment, the second sub-material is a conductive strip. The upward positioning camera 7 is used to take pictures of all the sub-materials picked up by the mounting mechanism 4 before mounting the sub-materials, so as to compensate and adjust the material picking angle of each sub-material individually and improve the mounting accuracy of the sub-materials on the master material.

[0025] In this embodiment, the first sub-material is a stacked sub-material, which needs to be separated by vibration. Only after the individual sub-materials are separated can the mounting mechanism 4 easily pick them up. The second sub-material is a regular sub-material, with a relatively regular shape, which facilitates its array placement on its fixture, making it easy for the mounting mechanism 4 to pick it up. Both the vibrating feeding mechanism 5 and the second sub-material feeding mechanism 6 can feed various types of sub-materials, i.e., materials of various sizes, enabling the fully automatic dispensing and mounting equipment to meet the mounting requirements of multiple sub-materials on the master material. Furthermore, the mounting mechanism 4 can pick up at least one first sub-material and at least one second sub-material, ultimately enabling the mounting mechanism 4 to pick up sub-materials of different quantities, types, and categories, improving the adaptability of the fully automatic dispensing and mounting equipment to different sub-material mounting requirements. After the mounting mechanism 4 completes the picking of all sub-materials, it takes a picture at the upward positioning camera 7 and independently adjusts the material picking angle of each sub-material to eliminate or reduce the picking error of the mounting mechanism 4. This allows the mounting mechanism 4 to perform mounting operations on the master material at a more precise angle, effectively improving the mounting quality of the finished material.

[0026] In multi-component placement scenarios, the requirements for placement heads and inspection components increase with the number, type, and category of sub-components. While configuring a corresponding number of placement heads and inspection components based on the sub-component type and category can improve the placement accuracy of both parent and child components, it significantly increases equipment costs, and the independent operation of multiple placement heads reduces equipment efficiency.

[0027] Based on this, the fully automatic dispensing and mounting equipment of the present invention adds an upward positioning camera 7 to the existing detection components such as detection cameras and gratings, and performs mounting operations through only one mounting mechanism 4 (which can be regarded as a mounting head). Before mounting, the mounting mechanism 4 picks up different types of first and second sub-materials one by one. Multiple sub-materials of the same type can be picked up through multiple nozzles. The nozzles can rotate around the Z-axis (i.e., the height direction), thereby enabling compensation and adjustment of the material picking angle. Since the second sub-materials are placed in an orderly manner, their position relative to their fixture is fixed. Therefore, various models of second sub-materials can be placed on their fixtures, allowing the mounting mechanism 4 to pick up different models of second sub-materials with high precision. Of course, first sub-materials of different models and types can also be mixed and fed together, and then separated by vibration feeding mechanism 5. After the mounting mechanism 4 has picked up all the sub-materials required for mounting one master material, the mounting mechanism 4 moves to the upward positioning camera 7 to take pictures. The upward positioning camera 7 obtains the angle and position information of each sub-material and uses the picking component, such as the rotating nozzle, to compensate and adjust the material picking angle, thus "straightening" each picked-up sub-material.

[0028] The mounting mechanism 4 works in conjunction with the vibratory feeding mechanism 5 and the second sub-material feeding mechanism 6 to pick up sub-materials of different quantities, models, and categories. Compared to picking up and mounting sub-materials one by one sequentially, this significantly improves the transportation efficiency of multi-sub-material mounting operations, thereby increasing production efficiency. The mounting mechanism 4 also works in conjunction with the upward-looking positioning camera 7 to simultaneously compensate for the material pickup angle of all sub-materials. This synchronous adjustment effectively ensures the spacing between adjacent sub-materials, preventing collisions, and simultaneously completes the compensation adjustment of the material pickup angle for all sub-materials, effectively improving the mounting accuracy of sub-materials onto the master material and enhancing the mounting quality of the finished product.

[0029] In this embodiment, two sets of parallel loading and unloading mechanisms 2 are provided. The two sets of loading and unloading mechanisms 2 operate alternately and independently, which effectively improves the mounting efficiency of finished materials.

[0030] like Figures 2 to 4As shown, the dispensing mechanism 3 includes a first sliding module 31, a dispensing valve assembly 32 connected to the first sliding module 31, and a laser height measuring component 33 and a dispensing camera 34 correspondingly mounted on the dispensing valve assembly 32. The laser height measuring component 33 can transmit information about the required mounting position on the master material to the dispensing valve assembly 32. The dispensing camera 34 can photograph and position the master material, providing data support for writing the glue path. The dispensing valve assembly 32 can perform dispensing operations on the master material. In this embodiment, the dispensing mechanism 3 is framed with marble to ensure structural stability and accuracy. The first sliding module 31 is a motor screw module that can drive the dispensing valve assembly 32 to slide along the X and Z axes. The motor can be a servo motor to record and store the relative position information of the dispensing valve assembly 32 on the screw. The laser height measuring component 33 can detect the required mounting position on the master material and provide dispensing position information to the dispensing valve assembly 32. The main body of the dispensing valve assembly 32 is an ultra-precision screw valve, equipped with a dispensing controller and a heating controller, which can be used with software to edit the glue path and glue volume as needed. The dispensing camera 34 photographs and positions the masterbatch to be dispensed and provides data support for the programming of the glue path. The dispensing valve assembly 32, the laser height measuring assembly 33, and the dispensing camera 34 work together to achieve high-precision dispensing of the dispensing valve assembly 32 at the required dispensing points on the masterbatch, which facilitates the subsequent mounting of sub-materials; and the glue dispensing through the ultra-precision screw valve can effectively prevent glue overflow after mounting, thus improving the mounting quality of the finished materials.

[0031] Furthermore, the dispensing valve assembly 32 includes a driver 321, a glue cartridge 322, and a dispensing needle 323. The driver 321 is mounted on the first sliding module 31; the glue cartridge 322 is mounted on the driver 321, and the driver 321 can drive its output shaft to squeeze the glue cartridge 322; the dispensing needle 323 is connected to the glue cartridge 322. Specifically, the driver 321 can be a dispensing screw rotary motor. After the glue cartridge 322 is filled with glue, it is fixed below the driver 321. The driver 321 drives its screw to rotate to squeeze the glue cartridge 322, increasing the internal pressure of the glue cartridge 322 and squeezing out the glue. The glue is then discharged through the dispensing needle 323, and finally discharged to the position where the masterbatch needs to be dispensed. Compared with the glue discharge method of the push rod type glue cartridge 322, the dispensing valve assembly 32 uses a rotating screw to squeeze the glue cartridge 322 for glue discharge, which is a gentler discharge method and more precise glue discharge.

[0032] See Figure 5The fully automatic dispensing and mounting equipment also includes a dispensing height measuring component 8; the dispensing height measuring component 8 includes a mounting bracket 81 mounted on the base 1, and a dispensing tank 82 and a pressure sensor 83 correspondingly mounted on the mounting bracket 81; the top of the dispensing tank 82 has a dispensing port 821 for dispensing glue from the dispensing needle 323; the dispensing needle 323 can press against the pressure sensor 83 along the Z-axis direction to calibrate the height of the dispensing needle 323 in the Z-axis direction. Specifically, when the dispensing valve assembly 32 stops operating for a period of time, it may cause gel to clog the needle tip, so it is necessary to pressurize and dispense glue into the dispensing tank 82 when it restarts to ensure smooth glue dispensing and precise control of the dispensing amount. In this embodiment, a dispensing port 821 for dispensing glue by the dispensing needle 323 is provided on the top of the dispensing tank 82. When the dispensing valve assembly 32 needs to be pressurized for dispensing glue, the dispensing needle 323 is moved above the dispensing port 821, and the gel automatically falls into the dispensing tank 82, so that the dispensing valve assembly 32 returns to the high-precision dispensing state.

[0033] In addition, high precision is required for dispensing height control. When an abnormality occurs and the dispensing needle 323 needs to be replaced, its height must be recalibrated after replacement to ensure the dispensing accuracy of the replaced needle 323. During operation, the dispensing mechanism 3 drives the dispensing valve assembly 32 to move above the dispensing height measuring assembly 8, and then drives the dispensing valve assembly 32 to move along the Z-axis, causing the dispensing needle 323 to contact the pressure sensor 83. Based on the movement path of the dispensing valve assembly 32 in the Z-axis direction recorded by the dispensing mechanism 3, combined with the pressure measured by the pressure sensor 83, the height of the replaced dispensing needle 323 is calibrated.

[0034] Optionally, the dispensing height measurement assembly 8 also includes a buffer 84, which may be a spring. One end of the buffer 84 is connected to the mounting bracket 81, and the other end is connected to the pressure sensor 83. The buffer 84 can buffer the squeezing force of the dispensing needle 323 on the pressure sensor 83, improving the "flexibility" of the measurement process and effectively protecting the dispensing valve assembly 32 and the pressure sensor 83.

[0035] Furthermore, the first sliding module 31 includes a sliding rail 311 and a slider 312, and a Z-axis driver mounted on the slider 312. The Z-axis driver is used to drive the dispensing valve assembly 32 to move up and down along the Z-axis direction. The dispensing mechanism 3 also includes a dust cover 35 mounted on the slider 312 and an oil receiving assembly 36 mounted on the lower side of the sliding rail 311. The inner cavity of the dust cover 35 faces the sliding rail 311. Specifically, the dust cover 35 is concave in shape, with its inner cavity facing the sliding rail 311, effectively preventing oil and dust generated during the operation of the screw slider module from splashing onto the sub-materials, ensuring the sub-material mounting effect, and reducing the difficulty of cleaning finished materials. The dust cover 35 can be optionally a bellows cover that can extend and retract along the X-axis direction, so as to manually and flexibly adjust the coverage size of the dust cover 35 in the X-axis direction, improve the adaptability to mounting operations of different quantities, models, and categories of sub-materials, and effectively ensure the cleanliness of the sub-material surface. The oil receiving component 36 can be a concave plate or a trough. The oil receiving component 36 is installed on the marble frame and located below the slide rail 311 and the dust cover 35. It can collect the oil dripping from both. The oil receiving component 36 can be cleaned regularly to ensure the overall cleanliness of the equipment.

[0036] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the loading and unloading mechanism 2 includes a second sliding module 21, a porous negative pressure adsorption platform 22, and a master material fixture 23. The second sliding module 21 is mounted on the base 1. The porous negative pressure adsorption platform 22 is slidably connected to the second sliding module 21. Multiple adsorption holes 221 are arrayed on the porous negative pressure adsorption platform 22. The multiple adsorption holes 221 adsorb the master material fixture 23 under negative pressure. In this embodiment, the second sliding module 21 includes a cable chain, a linear motor module, and a reading head grating ruler assembly. The cable chain is an anti-static portable detachable cable chain. The entire cable chain is made of soft material to better protect the cable and slide with the linear motor module. The cable chain and the linear motor module work together to drive the porous negative pressure adsorption platform 22 to slide along the Y-axis. The reading head grating ruler assembly 24 is a high-precision position measurement component, which provides high-precision measurement assurance for the porous negative pressure adsorption platform 22, thereby ensuring the positional accuracy of the master material on the master material fixture 23. Multiple adsorption holes 221 are arranged in an array. When the masterbatch fixture 23 is placed on the porous negative pressure adsorption stage 22, it can be directly connected by negative pressure or vacuum adsorption to achieve quick assembly and disassembly of the masterbatch fixture 23 and the porous negative pressure adsorption stage 22. This allows the porous negative pressure adsorption stage 22 to be used for the installation of various models and types of masterbatch fixtures 23. Optionally, the masterbatch fixture 23 and the porous negative pressure adsorption stage 22 are connected by a pin. The pin acts as a positioning pin to achieve quick positioning of the two, ensure the installation accuracy of the masterbatch fixture 23, enhance the connection strength between the two, and ultimately ensure the positional accuracy of the masterbatch.

[0037] like Figures 9 to 12As shown, the vibratory feeding mechanism 5 includes a mounting base 51 mounted on the base 1, and an automatic feeding bin 52 and a flexible vibrating plate 53 mounted on the mounting base 51. The vibratory feeding mechanism 5 also includes a pre-scanning camera mechanism 9 disposed above the flexible vibrating plate 53. The automatic feeding bin 52 is connected to the flexible vibrating plate 53. Here, "connection" refers to the connection of the material path, and it is not necessary to structurally connect the automatic feeding bin 52 and the flexible vibrating plate 53. The flexible vibrating plate 53 can shake apart the multiple first sub-materials stacked inside it, and the pre-scanning camera mechanism 9 takes pictures and positions them so that the mounting mechanism 4 can pick up the material in place. In this embodiment, vibration isolation silicone pads 511 are installed between the mounting base 51 and the base 1, that is, at the bottom of the multiple legs of the mounting base 51. The vibration isolation silicone pads 511 are made of high-frequency vibration isolation material, so that the flexible vibrating plate 53 maintains a good vibration effect while isolating the influence of adjacent flexible vibrating plates 53. The vibratory feeder 53 uses high-frequency vibration to separate accumulated materials, preventing them from overlapping. The first separated component is then photographed and positioned by the pre-scanning camera mechanism 9 and picked up by the mounting mechanism 4. The automatic feeding hopper 52 includes a buffer hopper and a vibrating chassis, communicating directly with the host computer. It operates in real-time based on the material level in the vibratory feeder 53, controlling the amount fed each time. The buffer hopper capacity can be customized according to requirements. A pair of mounting bases 51 are installed on each connected automatic feeding hopper 52 and vibratory feeder 53 to prevent the automatic feeding hopper 52 from interfering with the vibration and material distribution operation of the vibratory feeder 53.

[0038] The specific number of vibrating feeding mechanisms 5 is set according to the material separation requirements of the first sub-material. In this embodiment, three groups are set, and the vibration of each group is relatively independent. Each group can operate independently and shake apart the corresponding model or type of material. Compared with the mixed feeding method of a single group of vibrating feeding mechanisms 5, the various models and types of the first sub-materials to be mounted are grouped, so that each group of vibrating feeding mechanisms 5 only separates the first sub-materials of the same model and type in terms of quantity, which effectively improves the screening efficiency under various first sub-material working conditions.

[0039] Optionally, the vibratory feeding mechanism 5 also includes a splash material collection cover 54; the splash material collection cover 54 is a baffle structure installed around the vibratory plate 53 and higher than the top surface of the vibratory plate 53, which can collect materials accidentally vibrated out of the vibratory plate 53 and materials accidentally spilled during operator feeding, effectively avoiding the problem of materials being difficult to collect inside the machine while reducing material loss. Optionally, the splash material collection cover 54 is provided with shock-absorbing sponge on the side facing the vibratory plate 53, which can prevent damage to the materials caused by collision when they fall.

[0040] Optionally, the vibratory feeding mechanism 5 also includes an NG material collection cover 55; after the mounting mechanism 4 picks up the sub-materials from the vibratory plate 53 and the master material fixture 23, the upward positioning camera 7 calibrates and identifies each sub-material. Sub-materials with defects such as missing corners or dirt are unloaded by the mounting mechanism 4 and stored in the NG material collection cover 55. Of course, the NG material collection cover 55 can also be set at a suitable position on the base 1.

[0041] In this embodiment, the pre-scanning camera mechanism 9 includes a gantry 91, industrial cameras 92, a camera adjustment assembly 93, and a grating 94. The gantry 91 is welded onto the base 1 to ensure stable installation of the pre-scanning camera mechanism 9. A corresponding number of industrial cameras 92 can be installed on the gantry 91 as needed, offering high compatibility. The camera adjustment assembly 93 is mounted on the gantry 91, and the industrial cameras 92 are mounted on the camera adjustment assembly 93. The camera adjustment assembly 93 can finely adjust the angle and position of the lens of the industrial cameras 92 to ensure clear imaging and accurate positioning, meeting the identification needs of different types and categories of materials on the vibrating feeding mechanism 5. The grating 94 is a safety grating. The pre-scanning camera mechanism 9 integrates visual positioning, material monitoring, and safety protection, effectively improving material picking efficiency and equipment operation safety.

[0042] like Figure 13 As shown, the second sub-material feeding mechanism 6 includes a third sliding module 61, a fixture adsorption plate 62, and a sub-material fixture 63. The third sliding module 61 is mounted on the base 1. The fixture adsorption plate 62 is slidably connected to the third sliding module 61. The fixture adsorption plate 62 uses negative pressure to adsorb the sub-material fixture 63. The sub-material fixture 63 has multiple contoured grooves arranged on it for placing the second sub-material. In this embodiment, the third sliding module 61 includes a linear sliding module and a cable chain, which work together to drive the fixture adsorption plate 62 to slide along the Y-axis. The sub-material fixture 63 can be customized according to different models and types of second sub-materials. The surface of the fixture has contoured grooves, so after the second sub-material is placed, there is no need for secondary positioning by the positioning camera on the mounting component 4. The material can be directly picked up at fixed points, improving the picking efficiency. The fixture adsorption plate 62 adsorbs the sub-material fixture 63 by negative pressure or vacuum, and uses pins to achieve precise positioning between the two. Under the premise of ensuring positioning accuracy, the sub-material fixture 63 can be quickly replaced on the fixture adsorption plate 62.

[0043] See Figure 14 In one embodiment, the sub-material fixture 63 is divided into a first material area 631 and a second material area 632. The first material area 631 and the second material area 632 are areas for placing conductive strips of different lengths. The size of the cavity in the area is strictly controlled to ensure that the conductive strip is accurately positioned in the cavity, thereby improving the material picking accuracy and efficiency of the mounting mechanism 4.

[0044] See Figures 15 to 17The mounting mechanism 4 includes a fourth sliding module 41 and a mounting head 42 slidably mounted on the fourth sliding module 41. The mounting head 42 includes a ZR linear actuator 421 and multiple quick-change nozzle assemblies 422 corresponding to the ZR linear actuator 421. The number and type of the quick-change nozzle assemblies 422 correspond to the number and type of the sub-materials to be mounted. The quick-change nozzle assembly 422 includes a magnetically connected and plugged-in fixing member 4221 and a nozzle 4222. The fixing member 4221 is mounted on the ZR linear actuator 421. In this embodiment, the fourth sliding module 41 includes a mounting dual Y-axis and a mounting X-axis. The mounting dual Y-axis includes a mounting Y1 axis and a mounting Y2 axis arranged in parallel, and the mounting Y1 axis, mounting X-axis, and mounting Y2 axis are arranged in a U-shape. The base of the mounting dual Y-axis is a marble structure, and the moving parts are driven by a high-speed flat linear motor, guided by a high-precision linear guide rail, and the grating ruler reading head provides accurate position. The Y1 and Y2 axes of the placement system are interconnected yet independently controlled, providing real-time feedback to eliminate errors generated during movement and ensuring synchronization between the two axes. The main body of the X-axis is made of high-strength aerospace-grade aluminum, with its moving parts driven by a high-speed flat linear motor, guided by a high-precision linear guide, and with a grating ruler reading head providing accurate positioning. The placement head 42 is driven by a linear motor to move along the crossbeam in the X-axis direction, while its movement in the Z-axis direction is achieved by a servo motor and a lead screw. The Z-axis movement allows the placement head to avoid potential interference during operation and also enables camera focusing. Optionally, an oil collection component 36 is provided below the linear guide of the X-axis to collect oil and ensure overall cleanliness of the equipment.

[0045] The placement head 42 integrates a ZR high-speed linear actuator, quick-change nozzles, a camera, and a light source, enabling material positioning and pickup. The ZR high-speed linear actuator is a high-precision, modular actuator that combines linear motion (Z-axis) and rotary motion (R-axis), boasting core advantages such as high speed, high precision, and compact structure. By integrating multiple quick-change nozzle assemblies 422 onto the ZR high-speed linear actuator, each assembly is configured according to the required number of parts to be placed. This allows the placement head 42 to simultaneously adjust the part pickup angle after picking up all the necessary parts, resulting in rapid response and precise adjustment, thus improving the reliability of multi-part placement transportation and compensation adjustment. The fixing component 4221 and the nozzle 4222 are connected by magnets and achieve high airtightness through tight tolerance fitting. Furthermore, the nozzle 4222 can be quickly changed according to different parts, adapting to various material placement operations.

[0046] Furthermore, the present invention also provides a mounting method for a fully automatic dispensing and mounting equipment. The mounting method of the fully automatic dispensing and mounting equipment described above includes: The masterbatch is manually placed into the loading and unloading area 12. After placement, the loading and unloading mechanism 2 moves along the Y+ direction to transport the masterbatch to the dispensing position below the dispensing mechanism 3. In this embodiment, the masterbatch is a laser pump source. The dispensing mechanism 3 moves to the dispensing position. After taking pictures and positioning the ceramic tile cavity and conductive strip cavity on the masterbatch and performing the dispensing action, the loading and unloading mechanism 2 moves again along the Y+ direction to the mounting area 11 to wait for mounting. The vibrating feeding mechanism 5 disperses the multiple first sub-materials inside, which are then positioned by the pre-scanning camera mechanism 9 and awaited pickup. The mounting mechanism 4 moves to the vibrating feeding mechanism 5 and picks up the material according to the position of the pre-scanning camera mechanism 9. In this embodiment, the four suction nozzles 4222 (ceramic sheet suction nozzles) sequentially pick up the four ceramic sheets. The mounting mechanism 4 moves to the second sub-material feeding mechanism 6 to pick up the material. In this embodiment, the two suction nozzles 4222 (conductive strip suction nozzles) complete the picking up of the two conductive strips in sequence or simultaneously. The mounting mechanism 4 moves to the position of the upward positioning camera 7 to take pictures, and the ZR linear actuator 421 performs angle positioning and correction to complete the compensation and adjustment of the sub-material picking angle. The mounting mechanism 4 moves to the mounting area 11 and mounts the ceramic sheet and conductive strip onto the corresponding ceramic sheet cavity and conductive strip cavity of the masterbatch. After the loading and unloading mechanism 2 completes the mounting of the finished material, it moves along the Y-direction to the loading and unloading area 12, where the finished material is unloaded manually. When two sets of loading and unloading mechanisms 2 are provided, the actions of the two sets of loading and unloading mechanisms 2 are performed alternately and independently, which improves the placement efficiency.

[0047] The fully automatic dispensing and mounting equipment of this invention can perform mounting operations of various sub-materials on the master material, and the quantity, model, and category of the sub-materials can be different, showing strong adaptability to mounting different sub-materials. An additional upward-looking positioning camera 7, working in conjunction with the ZR linear actuator 421, compensates for and adjusts the sub-material pickup angle, reducing the impact of increased errors under multi-sub-material conditions and improving the mounting accuracy and quality of the finished material.
