Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automation equipment technology, and in particular to an automated assembly line for game controllers. Background Technology

[0002] Game controllers typically consist of multiple components, including side shells, top center cover, bottom center cover, top handle cover, bottom handle cover, dummy connectors, foam, magnets, LED lenses, rubber plugs, and decorative strips. These components usually require multiple processes such as loading, unloading, posture adjustment, positioning, attaching, pressing, locking, inspection, and unloading to form a complete product. Because game controller shell components are often irregularly shaped, and different components have different assembly directions, angles, and locking positions, accurate positioning and stable handling of each component are essential during assembly.

[0003] In existing game controller assembly methods, some processes are typically completed manually or using separate equipment. For example, there is often a lack of continuous workpiece flow between processes such as assembling the side shell and dummy connector, attaching the large foam to the center top cover, assembling the magnet, assembling the LED lens, assembling the center top cover and side cover, locking the center bottom cover, locking the top cover of the controller, locking the bottom cover of the controller and removing and placing the rubber plug, and attaching the decorative strip. Connecting different processes requires manual transfer or manual repositioning, which can easily lead to problems such as product orientation shifts, inconsistent positioning references, or omissions and misassemblies during transport.

[0004] Meanwhile, the assembly process for game controllers involves numerous steps. If each individual unit can only complete its own process independently, without forming a connection according to the product assembly sequence, it will be difficult for semi-finished products from the previous process to enter the next process in a timely and stable manner. For example, the side shell assembly needs to be assembled with the center top cover assembly, the center top cover and side cover assembly needs to be assembled with the center bottom cover, and then assembled with the controller top cover, controller bottom cover, and decorative strip in sequence. If there is no clear upstream and downstream correspondence between the above semi-finished products, it will increase the workload of manual handling, buffering, and secondary positioning, affecting the overall assembly efficiency and product consistency.

[0005] Furthermore, processes such as foam attachment, magnet assembly, LED lens assembly, screw fastening, plug placement and removal, and decorative strip installation require high positional and orientation accuracy. If these processes are completed manually or using dispersed equipment, issues such as attachment misalignment, unstable magnet ejection, inaccurate lens positioning, poor screw fastening consistency, improper plug placement and removal, and skewed decorative strip installation can easily occur, thus affecting the assembly quality, appearance consistency, and production yield of the game controller. Summary of the Invention

The handle upper cover assembly machine is used to assemble the handle upper cover and the center housing assembly piece output by the center lower cover assembly machine into a handle upper cover assembly piece. The handle lower cover assembly machine is used to assemble the handle lower cover and the handle upper cover assembly piece output by the handle upper cover assembly machine into a handle body assembly piece.

The working principle of the foam attaching gripper mechanism 103 is as follows: the foam suction cup 122 is connected to the negative pressure generator through a vacuum pipeline, and the foam suction cup 122 adsorbs small foam particles; the lifting cylinder 117 drives the fixing plate 118 to move up and down, so that the foam suction cup 122 moves closer to or further away from the small foam particles and the side shell; the rotary motor 119 drives the foam suction cup 122 to rotate, thereby adjusting the attachment angle of the small foam particles; the photoelectric sensor 120 cooperates with the photoelectric sensor plate 121 to detect the origin or rotation position of the rotary motor 119, ensuring that the angle adjustment of the small foam particles is accurate. During attachment, after the foam suction cup 122 picks up the small foam particles, it moves to the top of the side shell, and the lifting cylinder 117 drives the foam suction cup 122 to move down, pressing the small foam particles onto the foam attachment position of the side shell.

The lower vision inspection component 105 photographs the small foam after transfer or rotation adjustment to determine whether the angle and position of the small foam meet the adhesion requirements. When there is a deviation in the position or angle of the small foam, the external control system controls the foam attaching gripper mechanism 103 to perform position or angle compensation; when the inspection is qualified, the foam attaching gripper mechanism 103 performs the attachment action, thereby improving the attachment accuracy and consistency of the small foam.

Before locking, the gripper 163 clamps, presses, or holds the dummy connector to maintain a stable pre-assembled state between the dummy connector and the side shell; after locking, the clamping cylinder 161 releases the dummy connector, and the upper and lower cylinders 158 and the left and right cylinders 159 drive the gripper 163 to reset, waiting for the next action.

[0055] Furthermore, the unloading and conveying mechanism 10 includes a linear module 180, an up-and-down drive cylinder 181, a third vacuum suction cup 182, and a belt conveyor 183.

[0060] In the fifth step, the automatic foam conveyor belt 107 transports the small foam to the discharge section. The upper vision detection component 104 takes pictures and positions it. The small foam transfer and handling mechanism 106 moves the small foam to the transfer buffer table 129. The foam attaching gripper mechanism 103 picks up and adjusts the posture of the small foam. The lower vision detection component 105 performs a second inspection. After passing the inspection, the small foam is attached to the side shell.

[0061] In the sixth step, the turntable 91 continues to rotate, causing the fixture 92 to enter the locking station. The first side shell assembly locking mechanism module 8 and the second side shell assembly locking mechanism module 9 respectively pick up the screws and lock the locking holes of the side shell and the dummy connector.

[0062] In the seventh step, the turntable 91 rotates the assembled side shell and dummy connector to the unloading station. The unloading and conveying mechanism 10 picks up the assembled side shell and dummy connector via the third vacuum suction cup 182 and transfers it to the belt conveyor 183, which then transports it to the feeding side of the center cover and side cover assembly machine 800.

[0063] In the eighth step, the empty side shell tray after material removal is transported by the empty side shell tray handling mechanism 66 to the empty side shell tray belt conveyor line 29, and then pushed into the empty side shell tray receiving hopper 30 by the empty side shell tray lifting mechanism 32; the empty dummy connector tray after material removal is transported by the empty dummy connector tray handling mechanism 84 to the empty dummy connector tray belt conveyor line 44, and then pushed into the empty dummy connector tray receiving hopper 45 by the empty dummy connector tray lifting mechanism 47, thus realizing the automatic handling, conveying and stacking recycling of empty trays.

The second lifting cylinder 551 drives the second fixed plate 552 to move up and down, causing the second foam suction cup 556 to move closer to or further away from the large foam and the center cover. The second rotary motor 553 drives the second foam suction cup 556 to rotate, adjusting the attachment angle of the large foam. The second photoelectric sensor 554, in conjunction with the second photoelectric sensor sheet 555, is used to detect the origin or rotation position of the second rotary motor 553, ensuring accurate adjustment of the large foam angle. The second rotary cylinder 549 is used to switch the posture of the fixed mounting plate 550 and its adsorption structure to adapt to different material picking or attachment directions. During attachment, after the second foam suction cup 556 picks up the large foam, it moves to above the center cover.

After the second foam-picking gripper 561 picks up the large foam from the discharge section, it is transferred and placed on the second transfer buffer table 562 for the second foam-attaching gripper mechanism 540 to pick up the material again. The second feeder automatic conveyor foam belt machine 544 uses the existing feeder feeder.

[0078] Both the second upper vision inspection component 541 and the second lower vision inspection component 543 can include a CCD industrial camera. The second upper vision inspection component 541 is used to photograph and position the large foam at the discharge section of the second feeder automatic foam conveyor 544 to determine the pick-up position of the large foam; the second lower vision inspection component 543 is used to perform a secondary inspection on the large foam after transfer to confirm whether the posture and position of the large foam meet the bonding requirements.

Through three-axis linkage, the magnetic cartridge picking mechanism 305 can move between the magnetic cartridge loading mechanism 307 and the magnetic pusher mechanism 306, thereby completing the picking, placing, and transferring of the magnetic cartridge 334.

[0080] The magnetic spring clip picking mechanism 305 includes a magnetic picking rotary cylinder 312, two magnetic picking lifting cylinders 313, two magnetic spring clip clamping cylinders 314, and two magnetic spring clip grippers 315.

Each magnetic picking lifting cylinder 313 has a magnetic spring clip clamping cylinder 314 at its output end, and each magnetic spring clip clamping cylinder 314 has a magnetic spring clip gripper 315 at its output end. During operation, the magnetic material lifting cylinder 313 drives the corresponding magnetic clip jaws 315 to rise and fall, and the magnetic clip clamping cylinder 314 drives the magnetic clip jaws 315 to clamp or release the magnetic clips 334. One magnetic clip jaw 315 picks up a full magnetic clip 334 from the magnetic clip hopper 326, and the other magnetic clip jaw 315 picks up an empty magnetic clip 337 from the magnetic clip socket 317. Subsequently, the magnetic material rotating cylinder 312 drives the two magnetic clip jaws 315 to rotate 180°, so that the positions of the full magnetic clip 334 and the empty magnetic clip 337 are interchanged. The full magnetic clip 334 is inserted into the magnetic clip socket 317, and the empty magnetic clip 337 flows back to the empty space in the magnetic clip hopper 326.

[0081] The magnetic pusher mechanism 306 is located below the magnetic cartridge receiving mechanism 305. The magnetic pusher mechanism 306 includes a mounting plate, a magnetic cartridge socket 317 disposed on the mounting plate, and two magnetic separation pusher components 318 located behind the magnetic cartridge socket 317.

The magnetic push plate 323 is disposed at the output end of the magnetic separation push cylinder 322, and one end of the magnetic push plate 323 is inserted into the corresponding push port 321. During operation, when the full-load magnetic cartridge 334 is inserted into the magnetic cartridge slot 319 and positioned, the magnetic separation pusher cylinder 322 drives the magnetic pusher plate 323 to move forward along the pusher port 321. The magnetic pusher plate 323 pushes the magnet 336 to be ejected in the corresponding position inside the magnetic cartridge 334, so that the magnet 336 to be ejected is pushed outward through the corresponding discharge port 320, so that it can be subsequently installed into the corresponding position of the center cover.

[0082] The magnetic clip feeding mechanism 307 is located on one side of the magnetic pusher mechanism 306. The magnetic clip feeding mechanism 307 includes a placement platform 324, a third sliding assembly 325 disposed on the placement platform 324, and a magnetic clip storage bin 326 disposed on the third sliding assembly 325.

During operation, the magnetic clips 334 are placed in the magnetic clip storage bin 326, and the magnetic clip storage bin 326 can move along the third slide rail with the third slider, moving the magnetic clips 334 to the picking position of the magnetic clip picking mechanism 305, thereby facilitating accurate picking of the magnetic clips 334 by the magnetic clip grippers 315.

[0083] Two magnet pressing mechanisms 308 are mounted on the mounting plate, and the outputs of both magnet pressing mechanisms 308 are opposite to the magnetic clip socket 317.

Specifically, the fourth sliding assembly 330 consists of a fourth slide rail and a fourth slider, and the magnetic pressing block 331 is connected to the fourth slider. During operation, before or during the ejection of magnet 335, telescopic cylinder 329 drives magnet pressing block 331 to move downward along the fourth sliding assembly 330, so that magnet pressing block 331 presses against magnet 336 to be ejected in magnet clip socket 317; then magnet separation pushing cylinder 322 drives magnet pushing plate 323 to move forward, and under the downward pressure limiting action of magnet pressing block 331, magnet 336 to be ejected is stably ejected along pushing port 321 towards discharge port 320, thereby reducing the occurrence of magnet 335 tilting, jumping, deflection or jamming during ejection.

[0084] Furthermore, the 4-LED lens assembly 401 is used to assemble the 4-LED lenses 429 to the corresponding positions on the central upper cover. The 4-LED lens assembly 401 includes a vibratory feeder 402, a material distribution mechanism 403 disposed on the discharge side of the vibratory feeder 402, and a lens picking and assembly mechanism 404 disposed on one side of the material distribution mechanism 403. The vibratory feeder 402 is used to carry and transport the 4-LED lenses 429, enabling the 4-LED lenses 429 to be transported from the discharge side of the vibratory feeder 402 to the material distribution mechanism 403. During operation, multiple 4-LED lenses 429 are placed inside the vibratory feeder 402. The vibratory feeder 402 uses vibration to gradually move the 4-LED lenses 429 to the discharge side and transport them to the material distribution mechanism 403, thereby achieving continuous feeding of the 4-LED lenses 429.

[0085] The material distribution mechanism 403 includes a fixed base 405, a fifth sliding mechanism 406 disposed on the fixed base 405, a sixth sliding mechanism 407 disposed on the output end of the fifth sliding mechanism 406, a material picking seat 408 disposed on the output end of the sixth sliding mechanism 407, a material picking head 409 disposed on the material picking seat 408, a positioning detection sensor 410 disposed on the fixed base 405 and opposite to the material picking head 409, and lens positioning mechanisms 411 disposed on the fixed base 405 and located at both ends of the material picking head 409. The material picking head 409 has two parallel lens picking positions 412, which are used to accommodate and position the four-LED lenses 429 to be picked. The fifth sliding mechanism 406 includes a fifth sliding cylinder 413, and the sixth sliding mechanism 407 includes a sixth sliding cylinder 414. During operation, the fifth sliding cylinder 413 drives the sixth sliding mechanism 407, the material picker 408, and the material picker head 409 to move relative to the fixed base 405; the sixth sliding cylinder 414 further drives the material picker 408 and the material picker head 409 to move, so that the material picker head 409 can correspond to the four LED lenses 429 conveyed by the vibratory feeder 402. When the four LED lenses 429 enter the two lens picker positions 412 on the material picker head 409, the material receiving and pre-picking positioning preparation of the four LED lenses 429 is completed.

[0086] The positioning detection sensor 410 is mounted on the fixed base 405 and is positioned opposite to the picking head 409. During operation, when the four LED lenses 429 enter the lens picking position 412, the positioning detection sensor 410 detects whether the four LED lenses 429 are present in the lens picking position 412. If the four LED lenses 429 are detected to be in position, the lens picking and assembly mechanism 404 is allowed to perform subsequent picking actions. If the four LED lenses 429 are not detected or are not detected to be in position, the subsequent picking actions can be paused to reduce the occurrence of missed, incorrect, or incomplete picking.

[0087] The lens positioning mechanism 411 includes a lens positioning cylinder 415 and a positioning push block 416 disposed on the output end of the lens positioning cylinder 415. The two lens positioning mechanisms 411 are located at opposite ends of the feeding head 409. During operation, when the four LED lenses 429 enter the lens feeding position 412 on the feeding head 409, the lens positioning cylinder 415 drives the positioning push block 416 to move towards the feeding head 409. The positioning push block 416 pushes or limits the four LED lenses 429 from both ends of the feeding head 409, ensuring the four LED lenses 429 are stably held in a predetermined position, thereby improving the positional consistency when the subsequent lens feeding mechanism 420 picks up the lenses.

The lens assembly mechanism 404 is used to remove the four LED lenses 429 located in the lens picking position 412 and assemble them to the corresponding assembly position on the central top cover. The fifth X-axis drive mechanism 417 includes a fifth X-axis linear module 421. During operation, the fifth X-axis linear module 421 drives the lens rotation mechanism 418, the sixth Y-axis drive mechanism 419, and the lens picking mechanism 420 to move along the X-axis, allowing the lens picking mechanism 420 to reciprocate between the dispensing mechanism 403 and the assembly position on the central top cover, thereby achieving switching between the picking position and the assembly position.

[0089] The lens rotation mechanism 418 includes a lens rotation servo motor 422 and a hollow rotation platform 423 disposed at the output end of the lens rotation servo motor 422. During operation, the lens rotation servo motor 422 drives the hollow rotation platform 423 to rotate. The hollow rotation platform 423 drives the sixth Y-axis drive mechanism 419 and the lens picking mechanism 420 disposed thereon to rotate synchronously, thereby adjusting the assembly angle of the four LED lenses 429 picked up by the lens picking mechanism 420, so that the four LED lenses 429 can correspond to the assembly position of the central cover in a predetermined posture.

[0090] The sixth Y-axis drive mechanism 419 includes a sixth Y-axis linear module 424 disposed on the hollow rotating platform 423. During operation, the sixth Y-axis linear module 424 drives the lens picking mechanism 420 to move along the Y-axis direction, enabling the lens picking mechanism 420 to correspond to the two lens picking positions 412 on the picking head 409, or to move to the assembly position of the central upper cover, thereby completing the position adjustment in the picking direction and assembly direction.

[0091] The lens picking mechanism 420 includes a sliding fixed plate 425, a lens picking cylinder 426 disposed on the sliding fixed plate 425, a first up-and-down picking cylinder 427 disposed on the output end of the lens picking cylinder 426, and a second up-and-down picking cylinder 428 disposed at the end of the sliding fixed plate 425 and located on one side of the first up-and-down picking cylinder 427. During operation, the lens picking cylinder 426 drives the first up-and-down picking cylinder 427 to move relative to the sliding fixed plate 425, so that the first up-and-down picking cylinder 427 corresponds to one of the lens picking positions 412 on the picking head 409; the second up-and-down picking cylinder 428 is fixedly disposed at the end of the sliding fixed plate 425 and corresponds to the other lens picking position 412 on the picking head 409. During material handling, the first up-and-down material handling cylinder 427 and the second up-and-down material handling cylinder 428 move in the up-and-down direction respectively to handle the four-LED lenses 429 in the two lens handling positions 412. After material handling is completed, they are reset.

[0092] In this embodiment, during operation, the central cover material tray conveyor 507 transports the tray containing the central cover to the central cover material tray lifting mechanism 508. The central cover material tray lifting mechanism 508 lifts the tray to a predetermined height, and the central cover material tray disassembly mechanism 509 disassembles the tray, making the central cover available for picking. The central cover picking robot 503 picks up the central cover using the central cover gripper 531 and transfers the central cover to the flipping and positioning mechanism 504. The flipping and positioning mechanism 504 performs forward and reverse detection and flipping and positioning of the central cover. After the center cover is positioned, the large foam assembly component 505 supplies large foam through the second feeder automatic foam conveyor 544. The large foam is then detected, transferred, and picked up by the large foam transfer and handling mechanism 542, the second upper vision detection component 541, and the second lower vision detection component 543. Subsequently, the second foam attaching gripper mechanism 540 attaches the large foam to the corresponding position on the center cover. After the large foam is attached, the magnet assembly component 301 uses the magnet clip picking mechanism 305 to pick up and place the magnet clip 334. The magnet pushing mechanism 306 pushes out the magnet 335 from the magnet clip 334, and the pressing magnet mechanism 308 presses down and limits the magnet during the pushing process to ensure that the magnet 335 is stably pushed out and assembled onto the center cover. Subsequently, the 4-LED lens assembly assembly 401 supplies the 4-LED lens 429 via the vibratory feeder 402. The material distribution mechanism 403 performs material distribution, positioning, and positioning detection on the 4-LED lens 429. The lens picking and assembly mechanism 404 removes the 4-LED lens 429, adjusts its angle, and assembles it into the corresponding position on the central top cover. After the assembly of the large foam, magnet 335, and 4-LED lens 429 is completed, the central top cover completes the assembly process. The empty material tray is recycled and stacked by the central top cover empty material tray collecting mechanism 510. The central top cover after the above assembly is output as central top cover assembly component B to the feeding side of the central top cover and side cover assembly machine 800 for subsequent assembly with the side shell assembly component A.

[0094] The center top cover and side cover assembly machine 800 includes a translation component 810, a side cover picking and placing mechanism 610, a center top cover and side cover assembly locking mechanism 710, and a unloading module 860. The side cover picking and placing mechanism 610 and the center top cover and side cover assembly locking mechanism 710 are sequentially arranged on one side of the translation component 810 along its conveying direction. The unloading module 860 is located on the end side of the translation component 810. The translation component 810 is used for inter-station transfer of the center top cover and the center top cover and side cover assembly; the side cover picking and placing mechanism 610 is used for transporting the side covers to the corresponding assembly positions; the center top cover and side cover assembly locking mechanism 710 is used for locking and fixing the pre-assembled center top cover and side cover assembly; and the unloading module 860 is used for removing the locked center top cover and side cover assembly from the translation component 810 and conveying it to the next process.

The side cover picking and placing mechanism 610 is correspondingly disposed to one of the product posture adjustment mechanisms 620, and the center top cover and side cover assembly locking mechanism 710 is correspondingly disposed to the other product posture adjustment mechanism 620.

[0096] Through the above structure, the center cover assembly B is first gripped by the material picking mechanism 816 and placed on the product posture adjustment mechanism 620 located at the end of the translation component 810. Subsequently, the iron block placement mechanism 840 takes out an iron block from the iron block box 843 and places the iron block on the center cover to assist in holding or positioning the center cover. Afterward, the material picking mechanism 816 grips the center cover with the iron block placed on it again and transports it to the picking position of the center cover transport mechanism 850. The center cover transport mechanism 850 then transports it to the corresponding product posture adjustment mechanism 620, and the material picking mechanism 816, in conjunction with the X-axis moving mechanism 811, transports it to the side cover assembly position. After the side cover assembly is completed, it continues to be transferred to the locking position.

The sliding component 813 includes a slide rail and a slider, with the slider slidingly engaged with the slide rail. The tenth X-axis linear module 812 drives the slider to move along the slide rail, thereby driving the material-picking mechanism 816 to move along the X-axis. The material-picking mechanism 816 includes a material-picking cylinder 817 and a clamping cylinder 818 disposed on the output end of the material-picking cylinder 817.

[0109] The working process of this embodiment is as follows: The central cover assembly B is first clamped by the picking mechanism 816 and placed on the product posture adjustment mechanism 620 located at the end of the translation component 810; then, the iron block placement mechanism 840 takes out the iron block from the iron block box 843 and places the iron block on the central cover to assist in holding or positioning the central cover. After that, the picking mechanism 816 clamps the central cover with the iron block placed on it again and transports it to the picking position of the central cover transport mechanism 850. The central cover transport mechanism 850 clamps the central cover with the central cover clamping cylinder 853 and, with the cooperation of the central cover Y-axis linear module 851 and Z-axis drive cylinder 852, transports the central cover to the corresponding product posture adjustment mechanism 620.

[0110] Subsequently, driven by the X-axis moving mechanism 811, the material handling mechanism 816 transports the center cover from the corresponding product posture adjustment mechanism 620 to the product posture adjustment mechanism 620 at the side cover assembly position. When the side cover handling mechanism 610 is working, the side cover handling mechanism 611 first picks up the side cover through the side cover picking nozzle 617 and places the side cover on the side cover transfer platform 612; after the side cover transfer platform 612 performs transfer and limit on the side cover, the side cover transport mechanism 613 picks up the side cover through the suction component 636, and with the cooperation of the Y-axis module 630, the Z-axis module 632 and the side cover rotation mechanism 634, transports the side cover to the product posture adjustment mechanism 620 at the side cover assembly position, so that the side cover is aligned and assembled with the center cover on the product fixture 624. During the assembly process, the product fixture 624 carries the center cover, the gripper cylinder 626 clamps the center cover or the assembly of the center cover and the side cover, and the product rotation cylinder 622 adjusts the product posture according to the assembly requirements.

The product posture adjustment mechanism 620 carries the center top cover and side cover assembly via the product clamp 624 and clamps the assembly via the gripper cylinder 626. The product rotation cylinder 622 drives the product clamp 624 to rotate, aligning the locking holes of the center top cover and side cover assembly with the air-blowing locking mechanism 714. Subsequently, the screw feeder 711 feeds screws to the suction nozzle 721, the Y-axis linear module drives the air-blowing locking mechanism 714 to approach the product clamp 624, and the telescopic cylinder 717 drives the electric screwdriver 719 and the screwdriver bit 720 to move forward. The electric screwdriver 719 drives the screwdriver bit 720 to rotate and lock the screw into the locking holes of the center top cover and side cover assembly. If the central top cover and side cover assembly has multiple locking holes, the product rotary cylinder 622 can drive the product clamp 624 to rotate again, so that different locking holes are sequentially aligned with the air-blowing locking mechanism 714, and the air-blowing locking mechanism 714 sequentially completes multi-position locking.

[0112] After the locking is completed, the unloading module 860 operates, and the unloading pick-and-place mechanism 862, through the unloading gripper cylinder 867, picks up the locked center top cover and side cover assembly.

[0120] The center lower cover assembly machine also includes a component-picking robot 1050, which is located at one end of the center lower cover translation assembly 910 and corresponds to the assembly station of the center lower cover translation assembly 910. In this automatic assembly line, the component to be assembled is the center upper cover and side cover assembly C output by the center upper cover and side cover assembly machine 800. The component-picking robot 1050 is used to grasp the center upper cover and side cover assembly C and transfer it to the corresponding fixture 915, so that the center upper cover and side cover assembly C is assembled with the center lower cover. Through the cooperation of the component-picking robot 1050 and the center lower cover picking robot 1040, the automatic picking and placing of the center lower cover and the component to be assembled can be completed separately, reducing the positional deviation caused by manual placement and improving the assembly consistency of the center lower cover and the component to be assembled.

The screw feeder 999 is used to supply screws to the corresponding air-blowing fastening assembly 936; the linear module 935 is used to move the corresponding air-blowing fastening assembly 936 closer to or away from the corresponding fixture 915. After the product is clamped by the clamping mechanism 916, the linear module 935 drives the air-blowing locking assembly 936 to move towards the fixture 915, so that the air-blowing locking assembly 936 is aligned with the screw hole on the side of the product; after locking is completed, the linear module 935 drives the air-blowing locking assembly 936 away from the fixture 915 and resets it.

[0128] The pneumatic fastening assembly 936 includes a sliding base 937, a sliding component 938 disposed on the sliding base 937, a telescopic cylinder 939 disposed on one side of the sliding base 937, a fixed block 940 slidably connected to the sliding component 938, an electric screwdriver 941 disposed on the fixed block 940, a screwdriver bit 942 disposed on the output end of the electric screwdriver 941, and a suction nozzle 943 disposed at the end of the sliding base 937.

Suction nozzle 943 is used to receive and position screws supplied by screw feeder 999, and screwdriver bit 942 is used to rotate screws and lock them into the corresponding holes of the center lower cover and the component to be assembled.

[0129] Working principle of the center lower cover assembly machine 900 of the present invention: In use, the central lower cover material tray loading belt conveyor 1011 transports the material tray containing the central lower cover to the material picking area. The central lower cover material tray lifting mechanism 1012 lifts the material tray to a predetermined height, and the central lower cover material tray unpacking mechanism 1013 separates the stacked material trays one by one. Subsequently, the central lower cover picking robot 1040 picks up the central lower cover using the contour suction cup 1045 and places the central lower cover onto the fixture 915 of the central lower cover translation component 910. The component picking robot 1050 grabs the central upper cover and side cover assembly component C output by the central upper cover and side cover assembly machine 800 and places the central upper cover and side cover assembly component C onto the central lower cover located on the fixture 915, so that the central lower cover and the central upper cover and side cover assembly component C form the component to be locked together. Subsequently, the clamping mechanism 914 clamps the center lower cover and the component to be assembled using grippers, and moves along the translation sliding assembly 913 under the drive of the translation X-axis module 912 to cooperate with multiple fixtures 915 to complete the transfer of the product between different workstations. When the center lower cover and the component to be assembled move to the locking station, the clamping cylinder 924 drives the clamping plate 925 to press down, so that the center lower cover and the component to be assembled are stably pressed onto the fixture 915.

[0130] After the product is clamped, the first air-blowing locking mechanism module 931, the second air-blowing locking mechanism module 932, the third air-blowing locking mechanism module 933, and the fourth air-blowing locking mechanism module 934 located on both sides of the center lower cover translation assembly 910 respectively operate. Each linear module 935 drives the corresponding air-blowing locking assembly 936 to move towards the corresponding fixture 915, so that the suction nozzle 943 approaches the screw hole of the center lower cover and the part to be assembled. The screw feeder 999 supplies screws one by one to the corresponding suction nozzle 943. The suction nozzle 943 temporarily stores and positions the screws. Then, the telescopic cylinder 939 pushes the fixing block 940, the electric screwdriver 941, and the screwdriver bit 942 to move along the sliding assembly 938. The screwdriver bit 942 inserts into the suction nozzle 943 and drives the screw to rotate, thereby locking the screw into the connection hole of the center lower cover and the part to be assembled. After the locking is completed, the electric screwdriver 941 stops rotating, the telescopic cylinder 939 drives the fixed block 940, the electric screwdriver 941 and the screwdriver bit 942 to retract, the linear module 935 drives the air-blowing locking assembly 936 away from the fixture 915, the clamping mechanism 916 rises and resets, and the clamping mechanism 914 then transfers the locked product to the next station.

[0131] After the center bottom cover in the pallet is removed, the empty pallet enters the center bottom cover empty material tray belt conveyor 1020. The center bottom cover empty material tray handling mechanism 1021 transfers the empty pallet to the corresponding position of the center bottom cover empty material tray lifting mechanism 1024. The center bottom cover empty material tray lifting cylinder 1032 drives the center bottom cover empty material tray lifting plate 1033 to rise, lifting the empty pallet into the center bottom cover empty material tray receiving hopper 1022. The center bottom cover empty material tray receiving plate 1023 supports the empty pallet, so that multiple empty pallets are stacked and recycled in the center bottom cover empty material tray receiving hopper 1022.

[0132] Through the above structure, the game controller center bottom cover assembly machine of this embodiment can achieve continuous feeding of the center bottom cover and empty pallet recycling using the center bottom cover loading and unloading machine 1010, automatic picking and transfer of the center bottom cover using the center bottom cover picking robot 1040, stable transfer of the center bottom cover and center top cover side cover assembly C between different workstations using the center bottom cover translation component 910, and screw fastening of the center bottom cover and center top cover side cover assembly C from both sides using multiple center bottom cover locking mechanism modules 930, thereby improving the automation level, positioning stability, locking consistency and production efficiency of the center bottom cover assembly operation. In some embodiments, by setting up a component picking robot 1050, the automatic gripping and placement of the component to be assembled can also be realized, further reducing manual intervention and improving the assembly accuracy and production cycle of the center bottom cover and the component to be assembled.

[0133] Reference Figures 64 to 75In this embodiment, the handle top cover assembly machine 1a is used to receive the center housing assembly component D output by the center bottom cover assembly machine 900, and to assemble and lock the handle top cover 81a with the center housing assembly component D to form the handle top cover assembly component E; the handle top cover assembly component E serves as the main body assembly in the handle bottom cover assembly machine 200a.

[0134] The handle cover assembly machine 1a includes a cover loading / unloading machine 10a, a cover picking robot 32a, a handle cover flipping and positioning mechanism 36a, multiple cover locking mechanism modules 56a, a cover translation assembly 43a, a component picking mechanism 71a, and a unloading mechanism 75a. The cover loading / unloading machine 10a is used to transport a tray carrying a cover 81a and to collect empty trays after picking up materials. The cover picking robot 32a is positioned between the cover loading / unloading machine 10a and the cover translation assembly 43a, and the handle cover flipping and positioning mechanism 36a is positioned below the cover picking robot 32a. The cover picking robot 32a is used to pick up the cover 81a from the tray and transfer it to the handle cover flipping and positioning mechanism 36a. After being flipped and positioned by the handle cover flipping and positioning mechanism 36a, the cover picking robot 32a then delivers the cover 81a to the cover translation assembly 43a. Multiple cover locking mechanism modules 56a are arranged side by side on one side of the cover translation component 43a, the component to be assembled picking mechanism 71a is located at one end of the cover translation component 43a, and the unloading mechanism 75a is located at the other end of the cover translation component 43a.

[0135] When the machine is in operation, the top cover loading and unloading machine 10a first transports the tray carrying the top cover 81a to the picking position. The top cover picking robot 32a picks up the top cover 81a and transfers it to the handle top cover flipping and positioning mechanism 36a. The handle top cover flipping and positioning mechanism 36a flips and positions the top cover 81a. Then, the top cover picking robot 32a places the top cover 81a on the top cover translation component 43a. The component to be assembled picking mechanism 71a transfers the component to be assembled to the top cover translation component 43a, so that the component to be assembled and the top cover 81a form a pre-assembled component. The component to be assembled is the center shell assembly component D output by the center lower cover assembly machine 900. The top cover translation component 43a drives the pre-assembled component to move sequentially to the corresponding locking positions of multiple top cover locking mechanism modules 56a. The multiple top cover locking mechanism modules 56a complete the screw locking. Finally, the unloading mechanism 75a removes the assembled component after locking.

[0139] The upper cover empty material tray transport mechanism 21a and the upper cover empty material tray lifting mechanism 24a are arranged opposite to each other. The upper cover empty material tray transport mechanism 21a includes an upper cover empty material tray sliding cylinder 25a, a connecting seat two disposed on the output end of the upper cover empty material tray sliding cylinder 25a, an upper cover empty material tray lifting cylinder 27a and a sliding mechanism two 28a disposed on the connecting seat two, and an upper cover empty material tray receiving plate 29a disposed on the output end of the upper cover empty material tray lifting cylinder 27a and slidably connected to the sliding mechanism two 28a.

The upper cover empty material tray lifting mechanism 24a includes an upper cover empty material tray lifting cylinder 30a and an upper cover empty material tray lifting plate 31a disposed on the output end of the upper cover empty material tray lifting cylinder 30a. Furthermore, the top cover picking robot 32a includes a top cover picking 4-axis robot 33a, a top cover robot connecting seat 34a disposed on the output end of the top cover picking 4-axis robot 33a, and several vacuum suction cups 35a disposed on the top cover robot connecting seat 34a. The top cover picking 4-axis robot 33a can drive the top cover robot connecting seat 34a to move between the top cover loading / unloading machine 10a, the handle top cover flipping and positioning mechanism 36a, and the top cover translation assembly 43a. The vacuum suction cups 35a are used to adsorb the top cover 81a to avoid damage to the product surface when clamping the top cover 81a.

[0140] Furthermore, the handle cover flipping positioning mechanism 36a includes a mounting frame 37a, a clamping positioning cylinder 38a disposed on the mounting frame 37a, a flipping rotary cylinder 39a disposed on one side of the mounting frame 37a, a rotary shaft 40a disposed on the output end of the flipping rotary cylinder 39a, a flipping plate 41a mounted on the rotary shaft 40a, and a plurality of vacuum nozzles 42a disposed on the flipping plate 41a.

[0141] Furthermore, the upper cover translation assembly 43a includes a second frame 44a, a second translation X-axis module 45a disposed at the bottom of the second frame 44a, a second translation sliding assembly 46a disposed on the second frame 44a and above the second translation X-axis module 45a, multiple clamping mechanisms 47a disposed on the second translation sliding assembly 46a and connected to the output end of the second translation X-axis module 45a, multiple fixtures 48a disposed at the top of the second frame 44a, and a pressing mechanism 49a correspondingly disposed above each fixture 48a. The multiple fixtures 48a are spaced apart along the moving direction of the second translation X-axis module 45a, and are used to respectively support the upper cover 81a, the central housing assembly D, and the pre-assembled assembly formed by the two. The second translational X-axis module 45a includes a second translational X-axis linear module, which drives the second clamping mechanism 47a to reciprocate along the X-axis direction, enabling the clamping mechanism 47a to clamp the pre-assembled component and transfer it between multiple fixtures 48a. The second pressing mechanism 49a is used to press the pre-assembled component at the corresponding fixture 48a to prevent the pre-assembled component from shifting position during assembly or locking.

[0142] The working principle of the upper cover translation component 43a is as follows: After the upper cover 81a and the central housing assembly D form a pre-assembled component on the fixture 48a, the corresponding clamping mechanism 2 47a moves to the fixture 48a under the drive of the translation X-axis module 2 45a; the lifting cylinder 3 51a and the lifting cylinder 4 52a drive the gripper cylinder 2 53a to descend to the gripping position, and the gripper cylinder 2 53a clamps the pre-assembled component; subsequently, the lifting cylinder 3 51a and the lifting cylinder 4 52a drive the pre-assembled component to rise, and the translation X-axis module 2 45a drives the translation sliding component 2 46a and the clamping mechanism 2 47a to move along the X-axis direction, transporting the pre-assembled component to the next fixture 48a; after it is in place, the lifting cylinder 3 51a and the lifting cylinder 4 52a drive the pre-assembled component to descend, and the gripper cylinder 2 53a releases the pre-assembled component, so that the pre-assembled component is placed on the corresponding fixture 48a. Through the above actions, clamping mechanism 2 47a can clamp and transport the pre-assembled parts between multiple fixtures 48a, so that the pre-assembled parts arrive at the assembly station, locking station and unloading station in sequence.

[0143] Once the pre-assembled component reaches the locking station, the second clamping mechanism 49a presses down and clamps the pre-assembled component, while the second clamping mechanism 47a, in conjunction with the fixture 48a, clamps and positions the pre-assembled component, preventing it from shaking or shifting during the locking process. After locking is completed, the second clamping mechanism 49a resets, the second clamping mechanism 47a clamps the pre-assembled component again, and transfers the locked component to the unloading position. The upper cover translation component 43a enables continuous automatic transfer and positioning of the pre-assembled component among multiple fixed fixtures 48a.

[0144] Clamping mechanism 2 47a includes lifting cylinder 3 51a, lifting cylinder 4 52a disposed at the output end of lifting cylinder 3 51a, and gripper cylinder 2 53a disposed at the output end of lifting cylinder 4 52a. Lifting cylinder 3 51a and lifting cylinder 4 52a are used to drive gripper cylinder 2 53a to lift and lower, so as to adapt to the product picking and clamping actions of different heights; gripper cylinder 2 53a is used to clamp or release pre-assembled components. Pressing mechanism 2 49a includes pressing cylinder 2 54a and pressing plate 2 55a disposed at the output end of pressing cylinder 2 54a.

[0145] The working principle of clamping mechanism 2 47a and pressing mechanism 2 49a is as follows: When it is necessary to transfer the pre-assembled component, the translation X-axis module 2 45a drives clamping mechanism 2 47a to move to the corresponding fixture 48a. Lifting cylinder 3 51a and lifting cylinder 4 52a drive gripper cylinder 2 53a to lift. After gripper cylinder 2 53a clamps the pre-assembled component, the translation X-axis module 2 45a drives clamping mechanism 2 47a to move, thereby transporting the pre-assembled component to another fixture 48a. When the pre-assembled component reaches the locking position, pressing cylinder 2 54a drives pressing plate 2 55a to move downward. Pressing plate 2 55a presses the pre-assembled component from above. Clamping mechanism 2 47a and pressing mechanism 2 49a, together with fixture 48a, realize the positioning and fixing of the pre-assembled component, thereby improving the positioning stability and locking accuracy of subsequent locking operations.

[0146] Furthermore, the multiple cover locking mechanism modules 56a include three air-blowing locking mechanism modules: module 1, module 2, and module 3, arranged side-by-side on one side of the cover translation component 43a. These three modules correspond to different locking hole positions on the pre-assembled stand, enabling sequential or simultaneous screw fastening at multiple locking positions on the pre-assembled stand.

[0147] The working principle of the multiple cover locking mechanism modules 56a is as follows: After the pre-assembled stand is conveyed to the locking area by the cover translation component 43a, the No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 air-blowing locking mechanism modules correspond to different screw hole positions on the pre-assembled stand. Each locking mechanism module adjusts its position through its own Y-axis linear module 61a and Z-axis linear module 62a, so that the air-blowing locking component 63a is aligned with the corresponding hole position, and the locking is completed after the screw is supplied by the screw feeder 60a. The multiple cover locking mechanism modules 56a are arranged side by side, which can shorten the locking cycle and improve the consistency of locking in multiple holes.

[0148] The No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 air-blowing fastening mechanism modules all include a screw feeder 60a, a Y-axis linear module 61a disposed on one side of the screw feeder 60a, a Z-axis linear module 62a disposed on the output end of the Y-axis linear module 61a, and an air-blowing fastening assembly 63a disposed on the output end of the Z-axis linear module 62a. The air-blowing fastening assembly 63a is disposed opposite to the fixture 48a. The screw feeder 60a is used to arrange screws and supply screws to the air-blowing fastening assembly 63a; the Y-axis linear module 61a is used to drive the Z-axis linear module 62a and the air-blowing fastening assembly 63a to move along the Y-axis direction to adjust the horizontal relative position between the air-blowing fastening assembly 63a and the pre-assembled stand; the Z-axis linear module 62a is used to drive the air-blowing fastening assembly 63a to move up and down in the vertical direction so that the air-blowing fastening assembly 63a can move closer to or away from the fastening hole of the pre-assembled stand.

[0149] The pneumatic locking assembly 63a includes a sliding base 64a, a sliding component 65a mounted on the sliding base 64a, a telescopic cylinder 66a mounted on one side of the sliding base 64a, a fixed block 67a slidably connected to the sliding component 65a, an electric screwdriver 68a mounted on the fixed block 67a, a screwdriver bit 69a mounted on the output end of the electric screwdriver 68a, and a suction nozzle 70a mounted at the end of the sliding base 64a. The end of the screwdriver bit 69a is inserted into the suction nozzle 70a, and the output end of the telescopic cylinder 66a is connected to the fixed block 67a. The sliding component 65a consists of a slide rail and a slider.

[0150] Furthermore, the component-to-be-assembled material handling mechanism 71a includes a component-to-be-assembled X-axis linear module 72a, a component-to-be-assembled lifting and lowering cylinder 73a disposed on the output end of the component-to-be-assembled X-axis linear module 72a, and a component-to-be-assembled clamping cylinder 74a disposed on the output end of the component-to-be-assembled lifting and lowering cylinder 73a. The component-to-be-assembled X-axis linear module 72a is used to drive the component-to-be-assembled lifting and lowering cylinder 73a and the component-to-be-assembled clamping cylinder 74a to move along the X-axis direction; the component-to-be-assembled lifting and lowering cylinder 73a is used to drive the component-to-be-assembled clamping cylinder 74a to rise and fall; and the component-to-be-assembled clamping cylinder 74a is used to clamp the component to be assembled.

[0151] The working principle of the component picking mechanism 71a is as follows: The X-axis linear module 72a of the component to be assembled first drives the component to be assembled up and down cylinder 73a and the component to be assembled clamping cylinder 74a to move to the component picking position; the component to be assembled up and down cylinder 73a drives the component to be assembled clamping cylinder 74a to descend, and the component to be assembled clamping cylinder 74a clamps the component to be assembled; then the component to be assembled up and down cylinder 73a rises, and the X-axis linear module 72a of the component to be assembled moves the component to be assembled to the fixture 48a of the upper cover translation component 43a, and then the component to be assembled is released by the component to be assembled by the component to be assembled and the upper cover 81a on the fixture 48a.

[0152] Furthermore, the unloading mechanism 75a includes an unloading X-axis linear module 76a, an unloading lifting cylinder 77a disposed on the output end of the unloading X-axis linear module 76a, an unloading rotary cylinder 78a disposed on the output end of the unloading lifting cylinder 77a, an unloading gripper cylinder 79a disposed on the output end of the unloading rotary cylinder 78a, and an unloading belt conveyor line 80a disposed below the unloading gripper cylinder 79a.

[0153] The overall working process of this embodiment is as follows: First, the upper cover loading and unloading machine 10a transports the tray carrying the upper cover 81a to the picking position, and the upper cover tray lifting mechanism 12a and the upper cover tray unloading mechanism 15a realize the tray-by-tray supply; the upper cover picking robot 32a picks up the upper cover 81a from the tray through the vacuum suction cup 35a and transfers the upper cover 81a to the handle upper cover flipping and positioning mechanism 36a; after the handle upper cover flipping and positioning mechanism 36a adsorbs the upper cover 81a through the vacuum suction nozzle 42a, the flipping rotary cylinder 39a drives the flipping plate 41a to flip, so that the upper cover 81a flips to the position corresponding to the clamping and positioning mechanism; after flipping into place, the clamping and positioning cylinder 38a clamps and positions the upper cover 81a, so that the upper cover 81a is in the assembly posture; then, the upper cover picking robot 32a transfers the flipped and positioned upper cover 81a to the fixture 48a of the upper cover translation component 43a.

[0154] At the same time, the component picking mechanism 71a picks up the component to be assembled and transfers it to the upper cover translation component 43a, so that the component to be assembled and the upper cover 81a are assembled on the fixture 48a to form a pre-assembled component.

[0155] The top cover translation component 43a drives the clamping mechanism 47a via the translation X-axis module 45a to clamp and transport the pre-assembled component, causing the pre-assembled component to be sequentially transferred to multiple fixtures 48a and arrive at the corresponding locking positions of multiple top cover locking mechanism modules 56a. After arriving at the locking position, the clamping cylinder 54a drives the clamping plate 55a to press down on the pre-assembled component, and the clamping mechanism 47a cooperates with the fixtures 48a to clamp and position the pre-assembled component; subsequently, the No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 air-blowing locking mechanism modules are aligned with the corresponding locking holes under the drive of the Y-axis linear module 61a and the Z-axis linear module 62a, respectively, and the screws are locked by the air-blowing locking component 63a.

[0156] After the locking is completed, the top cover translation component 43a moves the assembled component to the unloading position. The unloading mechanism 75a clamps the assembled component using the unloading gripper cylinder 79a and transfers it to the unloading belt conveyor line 80a via the unloading X-axis linear module 76a, the unloading upper and lower cylinders 77a, and the unloading rotary cylinder 78a. The unloading belt conveyor line 80a then transports the assembled component to the subsequent process. After the top cover 81a in the tray is emptied, an empty tray is formed. The empty tray is transported and stacked by the top cover empty material tray collection mechanism 19a, thus completing the continuous automated operation of the top cover 81a: automatic feeding, flipping and positioning, assembly with the component to be assembled, screw locking, and finished product unloading.

[0157] Reference Figures 76 to 98 In this embodiment, the handle lower cover assembly machine 200a is used to receive the handle upper cover assembly component E output by the handle upper cover assembly machine 1a, and assembles, locks, and removes and places the handle lower cover and handle upper cover assembly component E to form the handle main body assembly component F; the handle main body assembly component F serves as the workpiece to be attached by the decorative strip assembly machine 500b.

[0160] The main body assembly feeding mechanism 220a is used to transfer the handle top cover assembly E output from the handle top cover assembly machine 1a as the main body assembly to the indexing rotary mechanism 2c, so that the main body assembly and the handle bottom cover can be assembled. The handle bottom cover locking mechanism 3c is used to lock the assembled handle bottom cover to the main body assembly.

[0172] During operation, the 4-axis robot 5b, driving the buffer vacuum suction cup 7b, moves to above the lower cover tray and adsorbs the lower cover. Then, the 4-axis robot 5b moves the lower cover to the lower cover flipping and positioning mechanism 3b. The lower cover lifting cylinder drives the rotary clamping mechanism 11b to lift and lower, while the left and right drive cylinders 22b drive the rotary clamping finger cylinder 23b to approach the lower cover. The rotary clamping finger cylinder 23b clamps the lower cover and flips it to a predetermined position. After the lower cover is placed in the positioning area 16b, the drive cylinder moves the contour jig movable block 13b relative to the contour jig fixed block 12b, thereby positioning the lower cover; the rotary clamping cylinder presses the lower cover firmly. Then, the lower cover picking robot 2b moves the positioned lower cover to the indexing rotary mechanism 2c.

[0173] Furthermore, the indexing rotation mechanism 2c includes an indexing cam divider 4c, a rotating disk 5c disposed on the output end of the indexing cam divider 4c, and multiple contouring fixtures 6c disposed on the rotating disk 5c. The multiple contouring fixtures 6c are spaced apart circumferentially along the rotating disk 5c, and each contouring fixture 6c is used to support the lower cover of the handle and the assembly formed by the lower cover of the handle and the main body assembly. The indexing cam divider 4c drives the rotating disk 5c to rotate intermittently at a predetermined angle, causing the multiple contouring fixtures 6c on the rotating disk 5c to sequentially pass through the main body assembly assembly position, the locking position, the rubber plug removal / placement position, and the unloading position.

[0174] In one embodiment, the contour jig 6c includes a contour support portion 14c that matches the shape of the lower handle cover, and a rubber-coated structure 15c is provided on the contour support portion 14c. The rubber-coated structure 15c is used for flexible contact with the lower handle cover to reduce surface scratches on the lower handle cover during placement, rotation, and locking. The contour jig 6c also includes a vacuum adsorption structure, which includes a vacuum adsorption hole 17c provided on the contour support portion 14c and a vacuum passage 18c communicating with the vacuum adsorption hole 17c. After the lower handle cover is placed on the contour jig 6c, the vacuum passage 18c is connected to an external negative pressure source, and the vacuum adsorption hole 17c adsorbs the lower handle cover or assembly, thereby reducing the positional displacement of the lower handle cover or assembly during the indexing process.

[0175] Furthermore, the main body assembly picking mechanism 220a includes a main body assembly picking robot 221a and a flipping and positioning mechanism 227a disposed below the main body assembly picking robot 221a. The main body assembly picking mechanism 220a is used to transfer the handle top cover assembly component E output by the handle top cover assembly machine 1a as a main body assembly to the indexing rotation mechanism 2c, so that the main body assembly and the handle bottom cover can be assembled.

[0176] The main body assembly handling robot 221a includes a 6-axis manipulator 222a, a fixed mounting plate 223a mounted on the output end of the 6-axis manipulator 222a, four clamping cylinders 224a mounted at both ends of the fixed mounting plate 223a, a vacuum generator mounted on one side of the fixed mounting plate 223a, and a vacuum suction cup 226a mounted at the bottom of the fixed mounting plate 223a. The vacuum generator is connected to the vacuum suction cup 226a and is used to provide negative pressure suction force to the vacuum suction cup 226a, enabling the vacuum suction cup 226a to adsorb the main body assembly. The four clamping cylinders 224a are used to provide auxiliary clamping to the main body assembly during gripping or transferring, thereby improving gripping stability.

[0177] The flipping and positioning mechanism 227a includes a lifting cylinder 228a, a lifting seat 229a disposed on the output end of the lifting cylinder 228a, a rotary cylinder 230a disposed on one side of the lifting seat 229a, a rotary shaft 231a disposed on the output end of the rotary cylinder 230a, a connecting plate 232a fixed to the rotary shaft 231a, and a four-jaw gripper cylinder 233a mounted on the end of the connecting plate 232a. The four-jaw gripper cylinder 233a is used to grip the main body assembly; the lifting cylinder 228a is used to drive the lifting seat 229a, the rotary cylinder 230a, the rotary shaft 231a, the connecting plate 232a, and the four-jaw gripper cylinder 233a to lift; the rotary cylinder 230a is used to drive the four-jaw gripper cylinder 233a and the main body assembly it grips to rotate through the rotary shaft 231a and the connecting plate 232a, so as to adjust the posture of the main body assembly.

[0178] During operation, the 6-axis robot 222a moves the fixed mounting plate 223a, vacuum suction cup 226a, and clamping cylinder 224a to the feeding position of the main body assembly. The vacuum suction cup 226a adsorbs the main body assembly, and the clamping cylinder 224a provides auxiliary clamping for the main body assembly. If necessary, the flipping and positioning mechanism 227a clamps the main body assembly through the four-jaw gripper cylinder 233a, and adjusts the height and angle of the main body assembly through the lifting cylinder 228a and the rotating cylinder 230a. Subsequently, the 6-axis robot 222a moves the main body assembly to the indexing rotating mechanism 2c, so that the main body assembly and the lower cover of the handle on the contour jig 6c are correspondingly engaged to complete the assembly.

[0179] Furthermore, the handle lower cover locking mechanism 3c includes a screw feeder 8c and an electric screwdriver locking mechanism 9c disposed on one side of the screw feeder 8c. The screw feeder 8c is used to organize and feed screws and supply screws to the electric screwdriver locking mechanism 9c. The electric screwdriver locking mechanism 9c is used to lock the screws into the corresponding locking holes of the assembled handle lower cover and body assembly.

[0180] The electric screwdriver locking mechanism 9c includes a Y-axis transverse mechanism 10c, an X-axis transverse mechanism 11c disposed on the output end of the Y-axis transverse mechanism 10c, two Z-axis motion mechanisms 12c arranged side by side disposed on the output end of the X-axis transverse mechanism 11c, and an air-blowing locking mechanism 13c disposed on the output end of each Z-axis motion mechanism 12c.

[0181] The Y-axis transverse mechanism 10c includes a Y-axis linear module and a slider located on one side of the Y-axis linear module. The slider consists of a slide rail and a slider. The X-axis transverse mechanism 11c includes an X-axis linear module, and the Z-axis motion mechanism 12c includes a Z-axis linear module. The Y-axis transverse mechanism 10c is used to drive the X-axis transverse mechanism 11c, the two Z-axis motion mechanisms 12c, and the two air-blowing locking mechanisms 13c to move along the Y-axis direction. The X-axis transverse mechanism 11c is used to drive the two Z-axis motion mechanisms 12c and the corresponding air-blowing locking mechanisms 13c to move along the X-axis direction. The Z-axis motion mechanism 12c is used to drive the corresponding air-blowing locking mechanism 13c to move along the Z-axis direction, causing the air-blowing locking mechanism 13c to move closer to or further away from the locking hole of the assembly.

[0182] The pneumatic locking mechanism 13c includes a sliding seat 28c mounted on the output end of the Z-axis motion mechanism 12c, a sliding component 29c mounted on the sliding seat 28c, a telescopic cylinder 30c mounted on one side of the sliding seat 28c, a fixed block 31c slidably connected to the sliding component 29c, an electric screwdriver 32c mounted on the fixed block 31c, a screwdriver bit 33c mounted on the output end of the electric screwdriver 32c, and a suction nozzle 34c mounted at the end of the sliding seat 28c. The end of the screwdriver bit 33c is inserted into the suction nozzle 34c, and the output end of the telescopic cylinder 30c is connected to the fixed block 31c. The sliding component 29c consists of a slide rail and a slider.

[0183] During operation, the screw feeder 8c delivers screws to the air-puff fastening mechanism 13c. The screws then enter the front end of the bit 33c via the suction nozzle 34c. The telescopic cylinder 30c drives the fixed block 31c to move along the sliding assembly 329c, thereby causing the electric screwdriver 32c and the bit 33c to move relative to the suction nozzle 34c, bringing the bit 33c closer to and driving the screw into the fastening hole of the assembly. The electric screwdriver 32c drives the bit 33c to rotate, completing the fastening of the handle cover to the body assembly.

[0184] Furthermore, the rubber stopper picking mechanism 1d includes a rubber stopper picking robot 2d, a rubber stopper feeding vibratory feeder 3d positioned below the rubber stopper picking robot 2d, and a rubber stopper dispensing mechanism 4d positioned on the discharge side of the rubber stopper feeding vibratory feeder 3d. The rubber stopper feeding vibratory feeder 3d is used for automatically feeding rubber stoppers 5d, the rubber stopper dispensing mechanism 4d is used for dispensing and positioning rubber stoppers 5d, and the rubber stopper picking robot 2d is used for taking rubber stoppers 5d from the rubber stopper dispensing mechanism 4d and placing rubber stoppers 5d into the locked product.

[0185] The rubber stopper picking robot 2d includes a 4-axis rubber stopper picking manipulator 6d and a rubber stopper gripping mechanism 7d mounted on the output end of the 4-axis rubber stopper picking manipulator 6d. The rubber stopper gripping mechanism 7d includes two rubber stopper up-and-down drive mechanisms 8d mounted opposite each other on the output end of the 4-axis rubber stopper picking manipulator 6d, a fixed base 9d mounted on the output end of each rubber stopper up-and-down drive mechanism 8d, a sliding mechanism 10d mounted on the fixed base 9d, an L-shaped connecting plate 11d slidably connected to the sliding mechanism 10d, and a rubber stopper suction rod 12d mounted at the bottom of the L-shaped connecting plate 11d. A bolt 16d passes through the fixed base 9d, with one end of the bolt 16d connecting to the top of the L-shaped connecting plate 11d, and a compression spring 17d is fitted onto the bolt 16d. The rubber stopper up-and-down drive mechanism 8d includes a rubber stopper up-and-down drive cylinder 13d; the sliding mechanism 10d consists of a slide rail and a slider.

[0186] The rubber stopper dispensing mechanism 4d includes a support frame 18d, a receiving platform 19d located on top of the support frame 18d, a position switching mechanism 20d located on the support frame 18d, a position switching mechanism 21d located at the output end of the position switching mechanism 20d, a positioning platform 22d located at the output end of the position switching mechanism 21d, material sensors 23d located on both sides of the positioning platform 22d, and a top-feeding mechanism 24d located on the support frame 18d and on both sides of the receiving platform 19d.

[0187] The positioning platform 22d and the receiving platform 19d are arranged opposite each other. The receiving platform 19d has a rubber stopper receiving port 25d, and the positioning platform 22d has two rubber stopper positioning ports 26d on both sides. The position switching mechanism 1 20d includes a rubber stopper slide cylinder 27d, and the position switching mechanism 21d includes a rubber stopper slide cylinder 28d. The ejecting mechanism 24d includes an ejecting cylinder 29d and an ejector pin 30d located at the output end of the ejecting cylinder 29d. The ejector pin 30d is movably inserted into the receiving platform 19d. The material sensor 23d is used to detect the positioning status of the rubber stopper 5d in the rubber stopper positioning port 26d.

[0188] During operation, the vibratory feeder 3d arranges multiple rubber plugs 5d and conveys them to the rubber plug receiving port 25d on the receiving platform 19d. Position switching mechanisms 20d and 21d move the positioning platform 22d, aligning the rubber plug positioning port 26d on the positioning platform 22d with the rubber plug receiving port 25d on the receiving platform 19d, allowing the rubber plug 5d to enter the rubber plug positioning port 26d. Subsequently, the positioning platform 22d moves to a position where the rubber plug positioning port 26d is opposite the ejector pin 30d. At this point, the rubber plug 5d at the rubber plug positioning port 26d corresponds to the ejector pin 30d. The ejector cylinder 29d drives the ejector pin 30d towards the rubber plug positioning port 26d, causing the ejector pin 30d to push the rubber plug 5d located at the rubber plug positioning port 26d into the corresponding rubber plug positioning port 26d, thus positioning the rubber plug 5d within the rubber plug positioning port 26d. After the material is ejected, the ejector cylinder 29d drives the ejector pin 30d to reset.

[0189] Material sensors 23d are positioned on both sides of the positioning platform 22d and correspond to the rubber stopper positioning port 26d. They are used to detect the positioning status of the rubber stopper 5d within the rubber stopper positioning port 26d. When the rubber stopper 5d is pushed into the rubber stopper positioning port 26d, the material sensor 23d detects whether the rubber stopper 5d is in position. If the rubber stopper 5d is detected to be in position, the four-axis robotic arm 6d moves the rubber stopper gripping mechanism 7d above the positioning platform 22d, and the rubber stopper up-and-down drive cylinder 13d drives the rubber stopper suction rod 12d to move down and pick up the rubber stopper 5d from the rubber stopper positioning port 26d. If the rubber stopper 5d is not detected to be in position, the picking process can be paused or the pushing action can be restarted to reduce situations such as empty picking or missed picking.

[0190] After the rubber stopper suction rod 12d picks up the rubber stopper 5d, the rubber stopper up-and-down drive cylinder 13d drives the rubber stopper suction rod 12d to rise and reset. The rubber stopper picking 4-axis robot 6d drives the rubber stopper gripping mechanism 7d to move to the locked product and picks up the rubber stopper 5d and places it at the screw hole of the upper cover of the main body assembly to cover or close the screw hole.

[0191] Furthermore, the unloading assembly 250a includes an unloading linear module 251a, an unloading slide cylinder 252a disposed on the output end of the unloading linear module 251a, an unloading up-and-down drive cylinder 253a disposed on the output end of the unloading slide cylinder 252a, an unloading vacuum suction cup 254a disposed on the output end of the unloading up-and-down drive cylinder 253a, and an OK belt conveyor line 255a and an NG belt conveyor line 256a located below the unloading linear module 251a.

[0192] The working process of the handle lower cover assembly machine 200a in this embodiment is as follows: First, the handle lower cover loading / unloading machine 201a conveys the lower cover tray carrying the handle lower cover via the lower cover tray loading belt conveyor 202a, and positions the lower cover tray at the picking position via the lower cover tray lifting mechanism 203a and the lower cover tray unloading mechanism 204a. The handle lower cover picking robot 1b grabs the handle lower cover from one end of the handle lower cover loading / unloading machine 201a, and flips, positions, and presses the handle lower cover via the handle lower cover flipping and positioning mechanism 3b.

[0193] Subsequently, the handle lower cover picking robot 1b transfers the handle lower cover to the contour jig 6c of the indexing rotary mechanism 2c. The indexing cam divider 4c drives the rotary disk 5c to rotate in sections, causing the contour jig 6c carrying the handle lower cover to move to the body assembly assembly position. The body assembly picking mechanism 220a transfers the handle upper cover assembly component E output from the handle upper cover assembly machine 1a as the body assembly to the indexing rotary mechanism 2c, so that the body assembly and the handle lower cover are assembled.

[0194] After assembly, the indexing rotation mechanism 2c continues to rotate in increments, moving the assembled product to the position corresponding to the handle lower cover locking mechanism 3c. The handle lower cover locking mechanism 3c locks the handle lower cover to the main body assembly via the screw feeder 8c and the electric screwdriver locking mechanism 9c.

[0195] After locking is completed, the indexing rotating mechanism 2c continues to rotate, moving the locked product to the position corresponding to the rubber stopper picking mechanism 1d. The rubber stopper picking mechanism 1d supplies rubber stopper 5d through the rubber stopper feeding vibratory plate 3d, the rubber stopper sorting mechanism 4d sorts and positions the rubber stopper 5d, and the rubber stopper picking robot 2d picks up the rubber stopper 5d and places it onto the locked product.

[0196] After the rubber stopper 5d is picked up and placed, the indexing rotating mechanism 2c continues to rotate, moving the product to the corresponding position of the unloading assembly 250a. The unloading assembly 250a uses the unloading vacuum suction cup 254a to pick up the handle body assembly F and transfers it to the OK belt conveyor line 255a or the NG belt conveyor line 256a according to the product status; among them, qualified handle body assembly F is output to the loading side of the decorative strip assembly machine 500b. After unloading is completed, the empty profiling fixture 6c on the indexing rotating mechanism 2c returns to the handle lower cover picking position and enters the next cycle.

[0197] Reference Figures 99 to 106 In this embodiment, the decorative strip assembly machine 500b is used to receive the handle body assembly component F output by the handle lower cover assembly machine 200a, and to complete the decorative strip application, pressure holding and finished product unloading on the left and right sides of the handle body assembly component F.

[0198] A game controller decorative strip assembly machine 500b is used for the automatic assembly of left and right decorative strips on the main body assembly F of the game controller. The game controller decorative strip assembly machine 500b includes a feeding and rotating mechanism 510b, a translation component 520b, a decorative strip assembly component 400a, and a discharging component 590b. The feeding and rotating mechanism 510b, the decorative strip assembly component 400a, and the discharging component 590b are arranged sequentially along the conveying direction of the translation component 520b, with the decorative strip assembly component 400a located on one side of the translation component 520b.

[0199] During operation, the loading and rotating mechanism 510b carries and positions the main handle assembly F, and conveys the main handle assembly F to the corresponding position of the translation component 520b; the translation component 520b receives the main handle assembly F and drives it to move along the conveying direction; the trim assembly component 400a applies left and right trims to the main handle assembly F that has moved to the corresponding position; and the unloading component 590b removes the game controller product after the trim assembly is completed. Thus, the game controller trim assembly machine 500b can perform loading, conveying, posture adjustment, left and right trim application, pressure holding, and unloading operations on the main handle assembly F.

[0200] The feeding rotation mechanism 510b includes a feeding cam divider 511b, a feeding rotary table 512b, and multiple first positioning fixtures 513b. The feeding rotary table 512b is located on the output end of the feeding cam divider 511b, and the multiple first positioning fixtures 513b are located on the feeding rotary table 512b. The first positioning fixtures 513b are used to carry and position the handle body assembly F. When the feeding rotation mechanism 510b is working, the unloading assembly 250a of the handle lower cover assembly machine 200a places the handle body assembly F on the first positioning fixture 513b, and the first positioning fixture 513b performs initial positioning of the handle body assembly F. Subsequently, the feeding cam divider 511b drives the feeding rotary table 512b to rotate in an indexing manner, causing the first positioning fixture 513b carrying the handle body assembly F to rotate to the position corresponding to the translation assembly 520b. The indexing action of the feeding cam divider 511b ensures good repeatability of the handle main assembly F when switching between the feeding position and the corresponding position of the translation component 520b.

[0201] Furthermore, the translation component 520b includes an X-axis linear module 521b, a sliding component 522b, a fixed mounting plate 523b, multiple clamping mechanisms 530b for the assembled game controllers, a posture adjustment mechanism 540b, and a pressure holding mechanism 550b. The sliding component 522b is disposed on one side of the X-axis linear module 521b, and the fixed mounting plate 523b is disposed on the sliding component 522b and connected to the output end of the X-axis linear module 521b. The sliding component 522b includes a slide rail and a slider, with the slider slidingly engaging with the slide rail, and the fixed mounting plate 523b disposed on the slider. When the translation component 520b is in operation, the X-axis linear module 521b drives the fixed mounting plate 523b to move along the X-axis direction. Since the fixed mounting plate 523b is mounted on the sliding component 522b, it is guided and supported by the slide rail and slider during movement, thereby improving the stability of the movement of the fixed mounting plate 523b and its components. Multiple game controller clamping mechanisms 530b to be assembled move synchronously with the fixed mounting plate 523b, so that the main body assembly component F of the controller can move sequentially along the conveying direction of the translation component 520b to the corresponding positions of the posture adjustment mechanism 540b, the trim assembly component 400a, the pressure holding mechanism 550b and the unloading component 590b.

[0202] Multiple game controller clamping mechanisms 530b to be assembled are mounted side by side on a fixed mounting plate 523b. Each game controller clamping mechanism 530b to be assembled includes a game controller lifting cylinder 531b and a game controller clamping cylinder 532b, with the game controller clamping cylinder 532b located at the output end of the game controller lifting cylinder 531b.

[0203] When the game controller clamping mechanism 530b is in operation, the game controller lifting cylinder 531b drives the game controller clamping cylinder 532b to descend to the corresponding position of the game controller main assembly F. The game controller clamping cylinder 532b then actuates and clamps the game controller main assembly F. Subsequently, the game controller lifting cylinder 531b drives the game controller clamping cylinder 532b and the game controller main assembly F to rise, causing the game controller main assembly F to leave the first positioning fixture 513b and move along the X-axis direction under the drive of the X-axis linear module 521b. When the game controller main assembly F moves to the next corresponding position, the game controller lifting cylinder 531b descends, and the game controller clamping cylinder 532b releases the game controller main assembly F, thereby realizing the transfer of the game controller main assembly F between various workstations.

[0204] The attitude adjustment mechanism 540b is located on one side of the sliding assembly 522b and arranged along the X-axis. The attitude adjustment mechanism 540b includes a game controller rotary cylinder 541b, a rotary fixing seat 542b, and a fixture 543b. The rotary fixing seat 542b is located on the output end of the game controller rotary cylinder 541b, and the fixture 543b is mounted on the rotary fixing seat 542b. When the attitude adjustment mechanism 540b is working, the game controller main assembly F is transferred from the game controller clamping mechanism 530b to the fixture 543b, where the fixture 543b positions and supports the game controller main assembly F. The game controller rotary cylinder 541b drives the rotating fixing seat 542b to rotate. The rotating fixing seat 542b drives the fixture 543b and the controller main body assembly F thereon to rotate to a preset angle, so that the installation positions of the left and right decorative strips of the controller main body assembly F correspond to the left decorative strip assembly component 410a and the right decorative strip assembly component 420a in the decorative strip assembly component 400a, respectively. Through the posture adjustment mechanism 540b, the influence of the placement angle deviation of the controller main body assembly F on the accuracy of the decorative strip mounting position can be reduced.

[0205] The pressure-holding mechanism 550b is located on one side of the sliding assembly 522b and next to the posture adjustment mechanism 540b. The pressure-holding mechanism 550b includes a large-diameter open-end clamping cylinder 551b, clamps 552b at both ends of the large-diameter open-end clamping cylinder 551b, pressure plates 553b mounted on each clamp 552b, and a second positioning fixture 554b positioned between the two pressure plates 553b. When the pressure-holding mechanism 550b is in operation, the game controller with the decorative strip applied is transferred to the second positioning fixture 554b, which positions the game controller. Subsequently, the large-diameter open-end clamping cylinder 551b drives the two clamps 552b to move closer together, and the two clamps 552b respectively move the corresponding pressure plates 553b toward both sides of the game controller, causing the pressure plates 553b to press and hold the applied decorative strip. After the pressure holding is completed, the large-diameter open clamping cylinder 551b drives the two clamps 552b to move away from each other, and the pressure plate 553b moves away from the game controller so that the translation component 520b can transport the game controller to the corresponding position of the unloading component 590b. The pressure holding mechanism 550b can improve the adhesion between the decorative strip and the surface of the game controller and reduce the adhesion gap.

[0206] Furthermore, the trim assembly 400a includes a left trim assembly 410a and a right trim assembly 420a arranged side by side. The left trim assembly 410a is used for mounting the left trim strip corresponding to the handle body assembly F, and the right trim assembly 420a is used for mounting the right trim strip corresponding to the handle body assembly F, wherein the left trim assembly 410a and the right trim assembly 420a have the same structure.

[0207] Specifically, both the left trim assembly 410a and the right trim assembly 420a include a trim feeder 411a, a trim attaching robot 412a, an upper trim vision inspection component 413a, and a lower trim vision inspection component 414a. The trim feeder 411a is used to feed the trim strips in an orderly manner and transport them to its discharge end. The trim attaching robot 412a is located on one side of the trim feeder 411a and is used to remove the trim strip from its discharge end and attach it to the trim installation position on the corresponding side of the handle body assembly F. The upper trim vision inspection component 413a is located on the trim attaching robot 412a and corresponds to the discharge end of the trim feeder 411a, used for visual positioning of the trim strip at the discharge end. The visual inspection component 414a under the decorative strip is disposed at one end of the decorative strip feeder 411a and is used to perform posture detection on the removed decorative strip after the decorative strip is removed by the robot arm 412a.

[0208] In this embodiment, the upper visual inspection component 413a of the decorative strip includes an upper CCD industrial inspection camera for the decorative strip, and the lower visual inspection component 414a of the decorative strip includes a lower CCD industrial inspection camera for the decorative strip. The upper CCD industrial inspection camera is used to acquire a position image of the decorative strip at the discharge end of the decorative strip feeder 411a, and the lower CCD industrial inspection camera is used to acquire an image of the posture of the decorative strip taken out by the decorative strip attaching robot 412a.

[0209] When the trim assembly assembly 400a is working, the trim feeders 411a in the left trim assembly assembly 410a and the right trim assembly assembly 420a respectively convey the trim to their respective output ends. The upper visual inspection assembly 413a first performs visual positioning on the trim at the output end to confirm the position of the trim at the feed end. Then, the trim attaching robot 412a moves to the corresponding position at the output end and removes the trim from the trim feeder 411a. After removing the trim, the trim attaching robot 412a moves the trim to the corresponding position of the lower visual inspection assembly 414a, which performs posture detection on the removed trim. Based on the detection results, the trim attaching robot 412a adjusts the position and angle of the trim, and then attaches the trim to the trim mounting position on the corresponding side of the handle body assembly F. The left trim assembly component 410a and the right trim assembly component 420a correspond to the left and right sides of the game controller, respectively, thus completing the assembly of the left and right trims.

[0210] Each decorative strip robotic arm 412a includes a decorative strip Y-axis drive module 430a, a decorative strip X-axis drive module 440a, a decorative strip Z-axis drive module 450a, a decorative strip R-axis drive module 460a, a decorative strip θ-axis drive module 480a, and a decorative strip suction cup 484a. The decorative strip X-axis drive module 440a is located at the output end of the decorative strip Y-axis drive module 430a, the decorative strip Z-axis drive module 450a is located at the output end of the decorative strip X-axis drive module 440a, the decorative strip R-axis drive module 460a is located at the output end of the decorative strip Z-axis drive module 450a, the decorative strip θ-axis drive module 480a is located at the output end of the R-axis drive module 460a, and the decorative strip suction cup 484a is located at the output end of the θ-axis drive module 480a. The decorative strip Y-axis drive module 430a includes a decorative strip Y-axis linear module, the decorative strip X-axis drive module 440a includes a decorative strip X-axis linear module, and the decorative strip Z-axis drive module 450a includes a decorative strip Z-axis linear module.

[0211] When the decorative strip applicator 412a is working, the decorative strip Y-axis drive module 430a drives the decorative strip X-axis drive module 440a and its rear end components to move along the Y-axis direction; the decorative strip X-axis drive module 440a drives the decorative strip Z-axis drive module 450a and its rear end components to move along the X-axis direction; the decorative strip Z-axis drive module 450a drives the R-axis drive module 460a, the θ-axis drive module 480a, and the decorative strip suction cup 484a to rise and fall along the Z-axis direction. Through the cooperation of the decorative strip Y-axis drive module 430a, the decorative strip X-axis drive module 440a, and the decorative strip Z-axis drive module 450a, the decorative strip suction cup 484a can move between the discharge end of the decorative strip feeder 411a, the lower visual inspection component 414a, and the handle main assembly F. The R-axis drive module 460a and the θ-axis drive module 480a are used to adjust the posture and angle of the decorative strip attached to the decorative strip suction cup 484a, so that the decorative strip can be attached to the corresponding side of the game controller at a predetermined angle.

[0212] The R-axis drive module 460a includes an R-axis servo motor 461a, a reducer 462a, a fixed block 463a, a sliding component 464a, an L-shaped connecting strip 466a, two guide bolts 467a arranged side by side, a spring 468a, a first photoelectric sensor, a first photoelectric sensor switch 470a, and a connecting piece 471a. The output end of the R-axis servo motor 461a is connected to the reducer 462a, and the fixed block 463a is mounted on the output end of the reducer 462a. The sliding component 464a is mounted on the fixed block 463a, and the L-shaped connecting strip 466a is mounted on the sliding component 464a. The sliding component 464a includes a slide rail and a slider, with the slider slidably mounted on the slide rail. One end of the guide bolt 467a is inserted into the fixed block 463a, one end of the connecting piece 471a is sleeved on the two guide bolts 467a, and the other end of the connecting piece 471a is fixedly connected to the L-shaped connecting strip 466a. Spring 468a is sleeved on guide bolt 467a and located between fixing block 463a and connecting piece 471a. Guide bolt 467a guides the movement direction of connecting piece 471a, and spring 468a provides elastic cushioning between fixing block 463a and connecting piece 471a. When decorative strip suction cup 484a moves decorative strip to adhere to the main body assembly F of the handle, if the decorative strip contacts the game handle and generates a reverse force, connecting piece 471a can undergo a slight displacement under the guidance of guide bolt 467a and compress spring 468a, thereby cushioning the installation impact and reducing the risk of damage to the surface of the decorative strip or game handle. When the R-axis drive module 460a is working, the R-axis servo motor 461a drives the fixed block 463a to rotate via the reducer 462a. The fixed block 463a drives the sliding component 464a, the L-shaped connecting strip 466a, the θ-axis drive module 480a, and the decorative strip suction cup 484a to rotate synchronously, thereby adjusting the posture of the decorative strip adsorbed by the decorative strip suction cup 484a in the R-axis direction. The first photoelectric sensor moves with the fixed block 463a, and the first photoelectric sensor switch 470a cooperates with the first photoelectric sensor to detect the reset position or rotation position of the R-axis drive module 460a, thereby improving the reliability of the R-axis posture adjustment.

[0213] The θ-axis drive module 480a includes an θ-axis servo motor 481a mounted on an L-shaped connecting strip 466a and a second photoelectric sensor plate disposed on the output end of the θ-axis servo motor 481a. A second photoelectric sensor switch 483a, cooperating with the second photoelectric sensor plate, is also disposed on the connecting strip 471a. A decorative strip suction cup 484a is disposed on the output end of the θ-axis servo motor 481a. When the θ-axis drive module 480a is working, the θ-axis servo motor 481a drives the decorative strip suction cup 484a to rotate, thereby adjusting the angle of the decorative strip adsorbed by the suction cup 484a in the θ-axis direction. The second photoelectric sensor plate moves with the output end of the θ-axis servo motor 481a, and the second photoelectric sensor switch 483a cooperates with the second photoelectric sensor plate to detect the reset position or rotation position of the θ-axis drive module 480a, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the decorative strip angle adjustment. The decorative strip suction cup 484a is used to adsorb the decorative strip. The decorative strip suction cup 484a is connected to an external negative pressure air source. When picking up the material, a negative pressure is generated to adsorb the decorative strip. After the decorative strip is attached to the corresponding side of the handle body assembly F, the decorative strip suction cup 484a releases the negative pressure and releases the decorative strip, thereby completing the picking up and attaching of the decorative strip.

[0214] Furthermore, the unloading assembly 590b includes an unloading Y-axis linear module 591b, an unloading Z-axis up-and-down drive cylinder 592b, multiple unloading nozzles 593b, and a game controller product unloading belt conveyor 594b. The unloading Z-axis up-and-down drive cylinder 592b is located at the output end of the unloading Y-axis linear module 591b, the multiple unloading nozzles 593b are located at the output end of the unloading Z-axis up-and-down drive cylinder 592b, and the game controller product unloading belt conveyor 594b is located below the unloading Y-axis linear module 591b.

[0215] In summary, after the main body assembly F of the game controller is indexed and fed by the feeding and rotating mechanism 510b, it is clamped and conveyed by the translation component 520b, and its posture is adjusted by the posture adjustment mechanism 540b. Subsequently, the left trim assembly component 410a and the right trim assembly component 420a in the trim assembly component 400a respectively complete the visual positioning, material picking, posture adjustment and mounting of the left and right trims. After mounting, the pressure holding mechanism 550b holds the trims under pressure, and the unloading component 590b transfers the assembled game controller product to the game controller product unloading belt conveyor line 594b, thereby realizing the automatic assembly of the left and right trims of the game controller.

[0216] The entire production line operation process of this invention: In this embodiment, when the automatic game controller assembly line is working, the side shell assembly machine 1 first completes the assembly, attachment, and locking of the side shell, dummy connector, and small foam to form side shell assembly A; the center top cover assembly machine 500 simultaneously completes the assembly of the center top cover, large foam, magnet 335, and four LED lenses 429 to form center top cover assembly B. Side shell assembly A is output by the unloading and conveying mechanism 10 of the side shell assembly machine 1 to the feeding side of the center top cover and side cover assembly machine 800, and center top cover assembly B is output by the center top cover assembly machine 500 to the feeding side of the center top cover and side cover assembly machine 800. The center top cover and side cover assembly machine 800 completes the alignment, assembly and locking of the center top cover assembly B and the side cover assembly A through the translation component 810, the side cover picking and placing mechanism 610 and the center top cover and side cover assembly locking mechanism 710, forming the center top cover and side cover assembly C, and outputs the center top cover and side cover assembly C to the feeding side of the center bottom cover assembly machine 900 through the unloading module 860.

[0217] The center lower cover assembly machine 900 uses the component picking robot 1050 to grab the center upper cover and side cover assembly C and transfer it to the corresponding fixture 915. At the same time, the center lower cover picking robot 1040 places the center lower cover on the fixture 915, so that the center lower cover and the center upper cover and side cover assembly C form a component to be locked. Subsequently, the center lower cover translation component 910 drives the component to be locked to move between multiple workstations. Multiple center lower cover locking mechanism modules 930 complete the locking from both sides to form the center shell assembly D, and output the center shell assembly D to the component picking position of the handle upper cover assembly machine 1a.

[0218] The handle cover assembly machine 1a supplies the handle cover 81a to the handle cover loading and unloading machine 10a, and completes the picking, flipping and positioning of the handle cover 81a by the cover picking robot 32a and the handle cover flipping and positioning mechanism 36a. The component picking mechanism 71a grabs the central shell assembly component D and moves it to the cover translation component 43a, so that the central shell assembly component D and the handle cover 81a form a pre-assembled component. The cover translation component 43a drives the pre-assembled component to move sequentially to the corresponding locking positions of multiple cover locking mechanism modules 56a. The multiple cover locking mechanism modules 56a complete the locking to form the handle cover assembly component E, and the handle cover assembly component E is output to the main body assembly picking position of the handle cover assembly machine 200a by the unloading mechanism 75a.

[0219] The handle lower cover assembly machine 200a supplies the handle lower cover through the handle lower cover loading and unloading machine 201a, and the handle lower cover picking robot 1b places the handle lower cover onto the contour jig 6c of the indexing rotating mechanism 2c; the main body assembly picking mechanism 220a grabs the handle upper cover assembly part E and transfers the handle upper cover assembly part E as the main body assembly to the indexing rotating mechanism 2c, so that the main body assembly and the handle lower cover are assembled; then, the handle lower cover locking mechanism 3c completes the locking of the handle lower cover and the main body assembly, the rubber plug picking mechanism 1d picks up and places the rubber plug 5d into the corresponding screw hole, and the unloading assembly 250a outputs the formed handle main body assembly part F to the loading side of the decorative strip assembly machine 500b.

[0220] The decorative strip assembly machine 500b receives the main handle assembly component F via the feeding and rotating mechanism 510b and transfers it to the translation component 520b. The translation component 520b drives the main handle assembly component F through the posture adjustment mechanism 540b, the decorative strip assembly component 400a, and the pressure holding mechanism 550b in sequence. The left decorative strip assembly component 410a and the right decorative strip assembly component 420a respectively complete the visual positioning, material picking, posture adjustment, and mounting of the left and right decorative strips. The pressure holding mechanism 550b presses and holds the mounted left and right decorative strips. Finally, the unloading component 590b transfers the game controller product with the completed decorative strip assembly to the game controller product unloading belt conveyor line 594b.
