Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automated processing equipment for reversing radar, and more particularly to a ceramic sheet mounting device for reversing radar. Background Technology

[0002] A reversing radar consists of a housing, inside which a ceramic plate needs to be placed. During assembly, adhesive is first applied to the housing, then the ceramic plate is placed onto the adhesive area, and a pressure-holding device is required to maintain pressure. When the housing and ceramic plate are automatically assembled, it's crucial to ensure the ceramic plate is placed inside the housing at a specific angle and with the correct placement surface; otherwise, improper installation will occur. Furthermore, it's essential to ensure the ceramic plate is firmly attached to the housing without damaging it. Some ceramic plate mounting devices, such as the Chinese patent application number CN202220003478.X, use two separate structures for mounting and pressure holding, and cannot guarantee the installation accuracy of the ceramic plate. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings, the present invention aims to provide a ceramic chip mounting device for reversing radar, which can accurately place and press the ceramic chip into the housing without damaging the ceramic chip during pressing.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a ceramic chip mounting device for reversing radar, comprising: A carrier used to support a shell; The feeding assembly is used to transport the ceramic sheet to the feeding station; A placement platform is located on one side of the feeding assembly in the first direction. The placement platform is used to fix one of the ceramic pieces and drive the ceramic piece to rotate. A visual inspection component is used to detect the angle of the ceramic piece on the placement platform, and the placement platform rotates according to the angle detection result to rotate the ceramic piece to a specific angle; The transfer robot includes a first adsorption head that can move along a first direction and a vertical direction. The first adsorption head is used to adsorb a ceramic piece at the loading station and place it on the placement table. The mounting mechanism includes a robotic arm body and a mounting assembly connected to the robotic arm body. The mounting assembly includes a connecting frame connected to the output end of the robotic arm body. A cylinder is fixed on the connecting frame. A pressure sensor is fixed on the piston rod of the cylinder. A second suction head that can move up and down along the connecting frame and is always located below the pressure sensor is slidably connected to the connecting frame. A fall arrestor block is fixed on the connecting frame to prevent the second suction head from falling. When the second adsorption head adsorbs the ceramic sheet on the placement stage, there is a gap between the pressure sensor and the second adsorption head; after the second adsorption head places the ceramic sheet into the housing of the mounting station, the cylinder drives the pressure sensor to move down and press it against the second adsorption head, and the cylinder outputs a set pressure.

[0005] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: The feeding and inspection mechanism ensures that the ceramic sheet is placed on the housing at a preset angle while feeding it. The vision inspection component first performs real-time angle detection on the ceramic sheet, and the placement stage then precisely rotates to compensate for any detection deviation, ensuring that the ceramic sheet is always at the preset angle before being grasped by the mounting mechanism. This eliminates the impact of random deviations in the incoming ceramic sheet angle on the final mounting accuracy, significantly improving the alignment accuracy when pressing the ceramic sheet into the housing and reducing the assembly defect rate caused by angle offsets.

[0006] The placement mechanism, while handling the ceramic tile, presses it firmly onto the housing, ensuring a secure placement. A single placement mechanism performs both handling and pressing, eliminating the need for an additional pressing mechanism.

[0007] The mounting mechanism forms two floating structures between the second suction head and the connecting frame, and between the second suction head and the pressure sensor, to ensure that the mounting mechanism can compensate for the error of the ceramic sheet when gripping and pressing the ceramic sheet, and will not damage the ceramic sheet.

[0008] Furthermore, the mounting assembly also includes an elastic element located above the second suction head. This elastic element consistently applies a downward force to the second suction head and allows it to move upwards. After the cylinder depressurizes and the mounting assembly rises away from the housing, the elastic potential energy stored in the elastic element is released, actively pushing the second suction head downwards until it is stopped by the anti-fall block and returns to its initial lower limit position. This ensures that after each mounting is completed, the second suction head stops at the same precise reference height, guaranteeing the consistency of the posture for the next material retrieval.

[0009] Furthermore, the elastic element consists of two springs, with a channel formed between them for the pressure sensor to move up and down. The upper and lower ends of each spring are fixed to the connecting bracket and the second suction head, respectively. The springs facilitate installation and do not obstruct the up-and-down movement of the pressure sensor.

[0010] Furthermore, the transfer robot also includes a brush head that moves synchronously with the first suction head along a first direction. The brush head is located on the side of the first suction head closest to the placement table, and the brush head can move up and down relative to the first suction head. When the vision inspection component detects that the ceramic piece on the placement table is defective, the brush head moves down to a height below the placement table before reaching the placement table to push the ceramic piece off the placement table.

[0011] The material handling and inspection mechanism directly removes defective ceramic sheets during the transfer process, preventing the mounting mechanism from grabbing and pressing them into the housing, thus reducing defective products. The brush head pushes away defective ceramic sheets while the first suction head carries new ceramic sheets in the same downward stroke. When the first suction head places a new ceramic sheet on the placement table, the defective ceramic sheet has already been removed simultaneously, eliminating extra back-and-forth movements and waiting time, significantly improving material handling efficiency.

[0012] Furthermore, the placement platform is a vertically distributed rod-shaped structure with a vacuum channel along its axial direction. This vacuum channel is connected to an external vacuum generator, and the placement platform is connected to a transmission assembly and a rotary drive component. The placement platform adheres to the ceramic sheet, preventing it from detaching during rotation.

[0013] Furthermore, the mounting device includes a first turntable that fixes the carrier, the first turntable moving the housing to the mounting station; the mounting station is equipped with a positioning mechanism, which is used to position the housing at the mounting station. During the mounting of the ceramic sheet and the housing, the positioning mechanism ensures that the housing does not wobble, improving the mounting quality.

[0014] Furthermore, the positioning mechanism includes a top rod and a pressure plate. The top rod can move up and down and pass upward through the first turntable and the carrier. The pressure plate is located above the carrier and can move up and down. When the top rod and the pressure plate move toward the housing, the housing is clamped between the pressure plate and the top rod, and the housing will not shake.

[0015] Furthermore, the pressure plate can cover the upper surface of the housing, and the pressure plate has a clearance hole for a portion of the second adsorption head to pass through. The large contact area between the pressure plate and the housing increases the stability when the pressure plate presses down on the housing, and avoids uneven force applied by the pressure plate on the housing, which could cause the housing to shift.

[0016] Furthermore, the feeding assembly includes a second turntable and a pushing part. Multiple feeding rods are fixed on the second turntable, each feeding rod having a storage cavity with an open top. The ceramic sheets are stacked vertically within the storage cavity. The second turntable drives the feeding rods to the feeding station sequentially. The pushing part is located at the feeding station and includes a pushing rod that can move up and down. The pushing rod can insert into the storage cavity and push the ceramic sheets inside the storage cavity upwards. The feeding assembly uses a turntable structure for feeding, improving feeding efficiency, and the pushing part pushes the ceramic sheets one by one into the working area of ​​the transfer robot.

[0017] Furthermore, the feeding assembly includes an adjustment section located at the feeding station. The adjustment section includes a gripper cylinder and two grippers that swing under the drive of the gripper cylinder. When the two grippers approach each other, they form a clamping cavity for holding the feeding rod at the feeding station. The grippers hold the feeding rod in the area above the upper opening. Even if the feeding rod's position deviates slightly, the grippers, after holding the upper end of the feeding rod, can pull the upper end of the feeding rod to the designated position, ensuring that the first adsorption head can adsorb the ceramic sheet.

[0020] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that the advantages and features of the present invention can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art, thereby providing a clearer and more explicit definition of the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] The present invention provides a ceramic chip mounting device for reversing radar, used to mount ceramic chips inside a housing.

[0022] See appendix Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 The mounting device includes a conveying mechanism 1, a carrier 2, a feeding and detection mechanism 3, and a mounting mechanism 4. The carrier 2 is used to support the housing. The carrier 2 is conveyed by the conveying mechanism 1 to the working area of ​​the mounting mechanism 4. The feeding and detection mechanism 3 is used to feed ceramic sheets one by one and rotate the ceramic sheets to a specific angle. The mounting mechanism 4 is used to grab the ceramic sheets at a specific angle on the feeding and detection mechanism 3 and press them into the housing on the carrier 2.

[0023] See appendix Figure 2 Appendix Figure 5 and attached Figure 6The feeding and inspection mechanism 3 includes a feeding component 31, a placement table 32, a transfer robot 33, and a vision inspection component 34. The feeding component 31 and the placement table 32 are distributed along a first direction (X direction in the figure). The transfer robot 33 includes a first suction head 331 that can move along the first direction and vertically. The first suction head 331 moves along the first direction to switch between the feeding station and the inspection station. The placement table 32 is located at the inspection station. The first suction head 331 picks up a ceramic piece from the feeding component 31 and places the ceramic piece onto the placement table 32. The placement table 32 is used to fix a ceramic piece and can drive the ceramic piece to rotate. The vision inspection component 34 performs angle detection on the ceramic piece on the placement table 32. The placement table 32 rotates according to the angle detection result to rotate the ceramic piece to a specific angle.

[0024] The transfer robot 33 uses its first suction head 331 to pick up ceramic sheets one by one from the feeding assembly 31 and place them on the placement stage 32, achieving individual separation and independent positioning of the ceramic sheets. The first suction head 331 further protects the brittle ceramic sheets. The vision inspection assembly 34 first performs real-time angle detection on the ceramic sheets, and the placement stage 32 then precisely rotates to compensate for the detection deviation, ensuring that the ceramic sheets are always at a preset specific angle before being gripped by the mounting mechanism 4. This eliminates the impact of random deviations in the incoming angle of the ceramic sheets on the final mounting accuracy, significantly improving the alignment accuracy when pressing the ceramic sheets into the housing and reducing the assembly defect rate caused by angle deviation.

[0025] See appendix Figure 3 and attached Figure 4 The mounting mechanism 4 includes a robotic arm body 41 and a mounting assembly 42 connected to the robotic arm body 41. The robotic arm body 41 drives the mounting assembly 42 to move and rotate about a vertical axis. For example, the robotic arm body 41 is a six-axis robotic arm. The mounting assembly 42 includes a connecting frame 421, which is fixedly connected to the output end of the robotic arm body 41. A cylinder 422 is fixed on the connecting frame 421, and a pressure sensor 423 is fixed to the piston rod of the cylinder 422. A second suction head 424 is slidably connected to the connecting frame 421, which can move up and down along it and is always located below the pressure sensor 423. A fall arrestor 4211 is fixed on the connecting frame 421 to prevent the second suction head 424 from falling.

[0026] When the second adsorption head 424 adsorbs the ceramic sheet on the placement stage 32, there is a gap between the pressure sensor 423 and the second adsorption head 424, that is, the pressure sensor 423 and the second adsorption head 424 do not contact each other; after the second adsorption head 424 places the ceramic sheet into the housing, the cylinder 422 drives the pressure sensor 423 to move down and press it against the second adsorption head 424, and the cylinder 422 outputs the set pressure.

[0027] The second suction head 424 can slide vertically up and down on the connecting frame 421. When the second suction head 424 picks up or places the ceramic sheet, it does not contact the pressure sensor 423 (there is no positioning above the second suction head 424). This passive floating characteristic allows the second suction head 424 to adaptively fine-tune its position when contacting the housing or ceramic sheet. This compensates for the vertical errors of the housing and ceramic sheet themselves when the robot body 41 moves precisely, avoiding damage to the ceramic sheet during handling. After the second suction head 424 places the ceramic sheet into the housing, the cylinder 422 extends the pressure sensor 423.

[0028] The mounting pressure between the ceramic sheet and the housing no longer depends on the motion accuracy of the robotic arm 41, but is instead determined by a constant pressure output from the cylinder 422. The pressure sensor 423 provides real-time feedback and forms a closed loop with the pneumatic circuit, ensuring that each ceramic sheet experiences uniform force when pressed into the housing. Even if the ceramic sheet is too high relative to the standard position, when the cylinder 422 outputs constant pressure, the excessively high ceramic sheet can still push the output end of the cylinder 422 upwards relative to the housing, preventing damage to the ceramic sheet. By having the cylinder 422 push the pressure sensor 423 down to press down the second suction head 424, the ceramic sheet is ensured to be properly pressed into place, preventing it from floating and strictly limiting the maximum pressing force, effectively solving the quality problem of microcracks in the ceramic sheet caused by excessive pressure.

[0029] In this embodiment, the feeding and detection mechanism 3 ensures that the ceramic sheet is placed on the housing at a preset angle while feeding the ceramic sheet; while the mounting mechanism 4 presses the ceramic sheet onto the housing while transporting it, ensuring a stable mounting. One mounting mechanism 4 simultaneously performs transport and pressing, eliminating the need for an additional pressing mechanism. Furthermore, because the mounting mechanism 4 forms two floating structures—one between the second suction head 424 and the connecting frame 421, and another between the second suction head 424 and the pressure sensor 423—it ensures that the mounting mechanism 4 can compensate for errors in the ceramic sheet during gripping and pressing, preventing damage. The feeding and detection mechanism 3 and the mounting mechanism 4 improve the mounting quality while fulfilling the mounting requirements.

[0030] Cylinder 422 is supplied with air through a proportional valve, which controls the air supply to cylinder 422 to adjust the pressure that cylinder 422 can output. The set pressure is related to the pressure that the ceramic plate can withstand; for example, the set pressure is 45N.

[0031] The visual inspection component 34 includes a camera and a light source located above the placement stage 32, which will not be described in detail here.

[0032] In one embodiment, see Appendix Figure 4The mounting assembly 42 also includes an elastic element 425 located above the second suction head 424. The elastic element 425 always applies a downward force to the second suction head and allows the second suction head 424 to move upward. The anti-fall block 4211 provides a downward limit for the second suction head 424, while the elastic element 425 provides a downward driving force. The combination of the two ensures that the suction head remains stably in the lower limit position when not under pressure, without swaying. When the suction head moves upward during the pressure process, the elastic element 425 provides upward clearance space. After the cylinder 422 is depressurized and the mounting assembly 42 rises away from the housing, the elastic potential energy stored in the elastic element 425 is released, which actively pushes the second suction head 424 downward until it is blocked by the anti-fall block 4211 and returns to the initial lower limit position. This ensures that after each mounting assembly 42 is completed, the second suction head 424 stops at the same precise reference height, guaranteeing the consistency of the posture for the next material retrieval.

[0033] In one embodiment, the elastic element 425 consists of two springs, with a channel between the two springs for the pressure sensor 423 to move up and down. The upper and lower ends of the springs are fixed to the connecting frame 421 and the second adsorption head 424, respectively. When the second adsorption head 424 and the anti-fall block 4211 come into contact, the spring is compressed. When the second adsorption head 424 moves upward relative to the connecting frame 421, the spring is continuously compressed.

[0034] The ceramic sheet loading is random. In addition to being placed into the housing at a specific angle, the ceramic sheet also has a front and a back side. The ceramic sheet must have its first side facing up to be placed in the housing. Therefore, the mounting mechanism 4 can only handle ceramic sheets with its first side facing up. In addition to angle detection, the vision inspection component 34 can also detect whether the ceramic sheet on the placement stage 32 has its first side facing up.

[0035] Even if the mounting mechanism 4 handles the ceramic tiles with their first surface facing down on the placement platform 32, it will still result in defective products. To avoid the mounting mechanism 4 handling ceramic tiles with their first surface facing down, please refer to the appendix. Figure 6 and attached Figure 8The transfer robot 33 also includes a brush head 332 that moves synchronously with the first suction head 331 along a first direction. The brush head 332 is located between the first suction head 331 and the placement table 32, and can move up and down relative to the first suction head 331. The brush head 332 and the first suction head move synchronously toward the placement table 32. When the ceramic piece on the placement table 32 is not facing upwards (i.e., the vision inspection component 34 fails the inspection), the brush head 332 moves down to a height below the placement table 32 before reaching it, thus pushing the ceramic piece off the placement table 32. The brush head 332 and the first suction head continue moving until the first suction head 331 is directly above the placement table 32, at which point the first suction head 331 places the adsorbed ceramic piece onto the placement table 32. If the ceramic piece on the placement table 32 is facing upwards, the brush head 332 does not need to move down when passing the ceramic piece, and the brush head 332 will not contact the ceramic piece.

[0036] To address the issue of ceramic sheets facing downwards, an anomaly that cannot be corrected by rotation angle, the feeding and inspection mechanism 3 directly and forcibly removes them during the ceramic sheet transfer process. This prevents the mounting mechanism 4 from grabbing unqualified ceramic sheets and pressing them into the housing, thus reducing defective products. The brush head 332 pushes away unqualified ceramic sheets, and the first suction head 331 carries new ceramic sheets in the same downward stroke. When the first suction head 331 places a new ceramic sheet on the placement table 32, the unqualified ceramic sheet has already been removed simultaneously, eliminating extra back-and-forth movements and waiting time, and significantly improving the feeding efficiency.

[0037] In one embodiment, a collection box is also provided on the side of the placement table 32 away from the feeding component 31, and ceramic pieces swept off the placement table 32 by the brush head 332 fall into the collection box for collection.

[0038] See appendix Figure 8 The transfer robot 33 includes a first linear module 333 and two first lifting modules 334. The two first lifting modules 334 are connected to the first linear module 333 and move synchronously along the first direction under the drive of the first linear module 333. The first suction head 331 and the brush head 332 are respectively connected to the two first lifting modules 334.

[0039] In one embodiment, the placement stage 32 uses negative pressure to fix the ceramic sheet, preventing the ceramic sheet from detaching from the placement stage 32 during rotation. The placement stage 32 is a vertically distributed rod-shaped structure, and a vacuum channel is opened along the axial direction of the placement stage 32, which is connected to an external vacuum generator.

[0040] See appendix Figure 7The placement platform 32 rotates around its own axis under the drive of a rotary drive 321, which is a motor connected to the placement platform 32 via a transmission assembly 322. Exemplarily, the transmission assembly 322 consists of a driving wheel, a driven wheel, and a transmission belt. The driving wheel is connected to the rotary drive 321, the driven wheel is sleeved on the outside of the placement platform 32 and rotates synchronously with it, and the transmission belt wraps around the driving wheel and the driven wheel. When the rotary drive 321 drives the driving wheel to rotate, the placement platform 32 rotates synchronously. A rotary joint 323 connected to a vacuum channel is fixed on the placement platform 32. The rotary joint 323 is connected to an externally fixed vacuum generator via a pipe.

[0041] See appendix Figure 1 The conveying mechanism 1 includes a first turntable, and the carrier 2 is fixed on the first turntable. When the first turntable rotates, it drives the housing to the mounting station where the mounting mechanism 4 works. The mounting mechanism 4 and the feeding and inspection mechanism 3 are located outside the first turntable.

[0042] When mounting ceramic tiles and housings, it is essential to ensure that the housing does not wobble in order to improve the mounting quality. However, simply positioning the housing using carrier 2 is insufficient to guarantee its stability.

[0043] In one embodiment, see Appendix Figure 9 The mounting station is equipped with a positioning mechanism 5, which is used to position the housing at the mounting station. The positioning mechanism 5 includes a push rod 51 and a pressure plate 52. The push rod 51 can move up and down and pass upward through the first turntable and the carrier 2. The pressure plate 52 is located above the carrier 2 and can move up and down. When the push rod 51 and the pressure plate 52 move towards the housing, the housing is clamped between the pressure plate 52 and the push rod 51. At this time, the mounting mechanism 4 then mounts the ceramic sheet. The housing will not shake during the mounting process, thus improving the mounting accuracy.

[0044] The large contact area between the pressure plate 52 and the housing increases the stability of the pressure plate 52 when pressing down on the housing, and avoids the housing shifting due to uneven force applied by the pressure plate 52 on the housing. In one embodiment, the pressure plate 52 can cover the upper surface of the housing, and the pressure plate 52 has a clearance hole 521 for part of the second adsorption head 424 to pass through.

[0045] See appendix Figure 5 The feeding assembly 31 includes a second turntable 311, on which multiple feeding rods 312 are fixed. Each feeding rod 312 has a storage cavity with an open top, and ceramic sheets are stacked vertically in the storage cavity. When the second turntable 311 rotates, it drives the feeding rods 312 to the feeding station in sequence.

[0046] The feeding assembly 31 also includes a pusher 313 located at the feeding station. The pusher 313 does not rotate synchronously with the second turntable 311 and is used to push the ceramic sheets one by one into the working area of ​​the transfer robot 33. The pusher 313 includes a pusher rod that can move up and down and pushes the ceramic sheets in the storage cavity upward. The pusher rod pushes the ceramic sheets upward so that the uppermost ceramic sheet reaches the working area of ​​the transfer robot 33, and the first suction head 331 suctions the uppermost ceramic sheet.

[0047] The position of the first adsorption head 331 in the first direction is fixed, meaning that the first adsorption head 331 can only adsorb one ceramic piece located directly below it. However, when the feeding rod 312 is positioned on the second turntable 311, there may be an error. This means that the feeding rod 312 may not be able to reach directly below the first adsorption head 331 under the conveying of the second turntable 311. In this case, the first adsorption head may not be able to adsorb the ceramic piece.

[0048] In one embodiment, see Appendix Figure 6 and attached Figure 7 The feeding assembly 31 includes an adjustment part 314 located at the feeding station. The adjustment part 314 includes a gripper cylinder 3141 and two grippers 3142 that swing under the drive of the gripper cylinder 3141. When the two grippers 3142 are close together, they form a clamping cavity for clamping the feeding rod 312. The grippers 3142 clamp the feeding rod 312 in the area above the upper opening. At this time, even if the position of the feeding rod 312 is slightly off, the grippers 3142 can still pull the upper end of the feeding rod 312 to the designated position after clamping the upper end of the feeding rod 312, ensuring that the first adsorption head 331 can adsorb ceramic sheets.

[0049] Both grippers 3142 have V-grooves on their opposite surfaces, which are joined together to form a clamping cavity. The inclined surface of the V-grooves can be used to push the feeding rod 312 and adjust its position to ensure that the upper end of the feeding rod 312 held by the grippers 3142 is in the designated position.

[0050] In one embodiment, the mounting apparatus further includes a dispensing mechanism 6, which is located in front of the mounting mechanism 4 in the rotation direction of the first turntable, and is used to dispense adhesive onto the housing inside the carrier 2.

[0051] See appendix Figure 10 The dispensing mechanism 6 includes a dispensing assembly 61, which includes a three-axis moving platform 611 and a dispensing head 612 connected to the three-axis moving platform 611. The dispensing head 612 can move under the drive of the three-axis moving platform 611 and be inserted into the housing of the carrier 2 to dispense adhesive.

[0052] During dispensing, it is necessary to ensure the stability of the housing within the carrier 2 to avoid dispensing abnormalities. In one embodiment, the dispensing mechanism 6 further includes a positioning component 62, which is used to position the housing within the carrier 2. The positioning component 62 includes a clamping part 621 that can move up and down, which is used to clamp the housing within the carrier 2. After the positioning component 62 clamps the housing, the dispensing component 61 then performs the dispensing.

[0053] The mounting device also includes a curing mechanism 7, which is located behind the mounting mechanism 4 in the rotation direction of the first turntable. The curing mechanism 7 is used to cure the glue on the mounted housing.

[0054] See appendix Figure 11 The curing mechanism 7 includes a conveying component 71, a third turntable 72, and multiple UV curing machines 73. Multiple carriers 2 are fixed on the third turntable 72. The conveying component 71 conveys the housing between the carriers 2 on the first turntable and the carriers 2 on the third turntable 72. When the third turntable 72 rotates, the housing moves sequentially to the UV curing machines 73 for curing.

[0055] The curing task is handled by a separate third turntable 72, allowing the first turntable to proceed with subsequent operations without waiting for curing. This eliminates the constraint of the curing process on the placement cycle time, significantly improving the overall machine output efficiency per unit time.

[0056] The handling assembly 71 includes a second lifting module 711, which drives a rotary cylinder 712 to lift and lower. Two gripping parts 713 are fixed to the output end of the rotary cylinder 712. These gripping parts 713 are used to grip the housing. When one gripping part 713 grips the housing inside the carrier 2 on the first turntable, the other gripping part 713 is aligned with the carrier 2 on the third turntable 72.

[0057] In one embodiment, a method for mounting a ceramic chip for a reversing radar is disclosed, including a mounting step, the mounting step comprising: The feeding component 31 conveys the ceramic sheet to the feeding station, and the first adsorption head 331 adsorbs a ceramic sheet from the feeding station and places the ceramic sheet on the placement table 32.

[0058] The visual inspection component 34 performs angle detection on the ceramic sheet on the placement stage 32, and the placement stage 32 rotates according to the angle detection result to rotate the ceramic sheet to a specific angle.

[0059] The robotic arm 41 moves the mounting assembly 42 directly above the placement platform 32, and then moves the mounting body downwards to adsorb the ceramic sheet on the placement platform 32. During this process, a gap is maintained between the pressure sensor 423 and the second adsorption head 424.

[0060] The robotic arm body moves the mounting component 42 to directly above the carrier 2 at the mounting station, and the robotic arm body 41 moves the mounting body down a preset distance.

[0061] Cylinder 422 drives pressure sensor 423 to move down and press against the second adsorption head 424, and cylinder 422 outputs a set pressure. This presses the ceramic sheet and the housing together.

[0062] The visual inspection component 34 detects the angle of the ceramic piece on the placement stage 32, and also detects whether the first surface of the ceramic piece is facing upwards. For ceramic pieces that are not facing upwards, the brush head 332 pushes the ceramic piece off the placement stage 32.
