Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of smart glasses testing, and in particular to a feeding line and an automated testing production line for smart glasses. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of technology, smart glasses, as a new type of portable smart product, are becoming increasingly widely used. After production, smart glasses need to undergo performance testing to ensure their quality before leaving the factory. Because smart glasses are relatively fragile, direct handling and transport by mechanical equipment can easily cause them to self-damage during repeated testing on the production line. Therefore, carriers are used to load and transport the smart glasses for testing. The loading and unloading process of both the carriers and the smart glasses requires a specially designed automated loading and unloading structure and device to facilitate the automation of the entire smart glasses testing production line. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation
[0020] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0021] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the orientation descriptions, such as "up," "down," "front," "back," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "point," "inner," "outer," "axial," "radial," "circumferential," and "around," are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description. They are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this invention.
[0022] In the description of this invention, "a plurality of" means two or more; "greater than," "less than," "exceeding," etc., are understood to exclude the number itself; and "above," "below," "within," etc., are understood to include the number itself. Where "first," "second," etc., are used, unless otherwise specified, they are only for distinguishing technical features and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, or implicitly indicating the number of indicated technical features, or implicitly indicating the sequential relationship of the indicated technical features.
[0023] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that "A is set on B" or "A is set on B" describes the connection or positional relationship between A and B, and does not mean that A is necessarily above B.
[0024] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, movable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to mechanical connections or electrical connections; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal communication of two components. In some embodiments, "bolted connection" and "screw connection" can be used interchangeably; in some embodiments, sidewall refers to the left sidewall and / or right sidewall. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention in conjunction with the specific circumstances. It should be understood that multiple similar features in this invention are distinguished only by different prefixes. Therefore, in this invention, the feature name without a distinguishing prefix (or the feature name with a partial prefix) is used to represent the combination of similar features of this type, for example, "activation device" is used to represent the first activation device 600 and the second activation device 1000.
[0025] It should be understood that, due to the modular components used in the model drawings of this invention for ease of construction, there may be some redundant components in the devices and mechanisms (used for other functions) in the drawings. However, these redundant components may not be present in the actual equipment. Therefore, the specific content of this invention should be understood mainly by referring to the text description and the contents of the drawings.
[0026] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 13 According to an embodiment of the present invention, the feeding activation line is used to activate the smart glasses 200 in the carrier 100. The feeding activation line includes a first activation conveying device 300, a glasses pressing device 400, a flip-top closing device 500, a first activation device 600, an activation failure conveying device 700, and an activation failure transfer device 800.
[0027] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 11 , Figure 13 , Figure 14 and Figure 15The carrier 100 mainly includes a carrier body 110 and a carrier cover 120. The carrier body 110 is provided with a limiting recess that matches the shape of the smart glasses 200. The limiting recess is used to accommodate and limit the smart glasses 200. The carrier cover 120 is hinged to the carrier body 110, and the carrier cover 120 is used to abut against and limit the smart glasses 200. Specifically, in this embodiment, one side of the carrier cover 120 is hinged to the upper front side of the carrier body 110. After rotating the carrier cover 120 and opening the carrier 100, the smart glasses 200 is placed in the limiting recess (the limiting recess is mainly used to limit the abutment against the lower surface and side of the smart glasses 200). Then, after rotating the carrier cover 120 in the opposite direction, closing the cover, and closing the carrier 100, the cover abuts against the upper surface of the smart glasses 200, which can fix the smart glasses 200 in the carrier 100. Furthermore, the vehicle body 110 and the vehicle cover 120 can be provided with a latching structure that can be fastened together. Specifically, a first latching protrusion 121 is provided on the other side of the vehicle cover 120, a latching movable block 111 is provided on the upper rear side of the vehicle body 110, the middle part of the latching movable block 111 is rotatably connected to the vehicle body 110, a second latching protrusion 111a is provided on the upper end of the latching movable block 111, and a latching elastic element is provided inside the vehicle body 110. One end of the elastic element is used to abut against the lower end of the latching movable block 111, and the other end of the latching elastic element is used to abut against the vehicle body 110. To open the latching structure, pressure is applied to the lower end of the latching movable block 111 (manually or through mechanical parts), causing the latching movable block 111 to rotate relative to the vehicle body 110, thereby causing the upper end of the latching movable block 111 (the second latching protrusion 111a) to move backward away from the vehicle body 110 (vehicle cover 120, first latching protrusion 121). This avoids creating space for the first latch protrusion 121 to move upwards (the vehicle cover 120 rotates), and at this time, the latch elastic element undergoes elastic deformation under pressure, accumulating elastic force; in the normal closed state, when the pressure is removed (or when there is no pressure or other external force acting), the latch elastic element releases the elastic force, thereby pushing the lower end of the latch movable block 111 to move, that is, causing the latch movable block 111 to rotate in the opposite direction relative to the vehicle body 110, so that the upper end of the latch movable block 111 (the second latch protrusion) (111a) Move forward and approach the vehicle body 110 (vehicle cover 120, first buckle protrusion 121), so that the second buckle protrusion 111a is located above the first buckle protrusion 121. The second buckle protrusion 111a blocks the first buckle protrusion 121 from moving upward, that is, it blocks the vehicle cover 120 from rotating, so that the vehicle cover 120 and the vehicle body 110 are fastened together and the vehicle cover 120 will not open at will, so the smart glasses 200 can be stably fixed.It should be understood that the carrier 100 (generally the carrier body 110) is provided with a corresponding carrier plug 112 and carrier interface 113. External testing equipment, activation mechanisms, etc., can be inserted into the carrier 100 (carrier body 110) through the carrier interface 113, while the carrier plug 112 can be inserted into the interface of the smart glasses 200. This allows external testing equipment, activation mechanisms, etc., to power, transmit, and receive information from the smart glasses 200 through the carrier 100, facilitating testing. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the carrier 100 (carrier body 110) is provided with a plug-in slider 114 and a release slider 115. The locking button 115, by pushing the plug-in slider 114 to slide, allows the carrier plug 112 to be inserted into the smart glasses 200. Pressing the unlock button 115 allows the carrier plug 112 to be pulled out of the smart glasses 200. Therefore, during actual testing and activation, after the smart glasses 200 is fixed inside the carrier 100, pushing the plug-in slider 114 allows the carrier plug 112 to be inserted into the smart glasses 200, facilitating subsequent activation and testing. During unloading, pressing the unlock button 115 allows the carrier plug 112 to be pulled out of the smart glasses 200, facilitating subsequent removal of the smart glasses 200 from the carrier 100. It should be understood that because different models of smart glasses 200 may have different shapes and plug positions, generally, the carrier 100 and the smart glasses 200 correspond to each other; in other words, one model of carrier 100 corresponds to one model of smart glasses 200.
[0028] Reference Figure 13The smart glasses 200 are AI glasses, AR glasses, or a combination of both. In some embodiments, they are equipped with components such as a data transmission port (charging port), a micro battery, a smart chip, and an image projection mechanism (such as a waveguide sheet, an optical engine, etc.). Furthermore, they may also be equipped with components for voice reception and voice playback. Therefore, after the smart glasses 200 is manufactured and before it is sold, it is necessary to test and inspect various functions of the smart glasses 200, such as the quality of the projected image, the voice reception effect, the voice playback effect, the signal reception strength, the charging and discharging function, and other functional effects. Before performing various functional tests and inspections on the smart glasses 200, it is necessary to activate the smart glasses 200 (similar to powering on), so a material feeding and activation line is required. Because the smart glasses 200 are relatively fragile and easily damaged, and are not easy to position, pick up, or align with the plug-in port, during the testing process, the smart glasses 200 are placed on the carrier 100, which supports, protects, and connects them. The carrier 100 can also be provided with a positioning and fixing structure (in this embodiment, positioning clamping holes 117, one on each side of the lower front side of the carrier 100, and one on each side of the lower rear side of the carrier 100, i.e., four positioning clamping holes 117 are provided. When the clamping claws are used, the claws separate and approach the four positioning clamping holes 117, and then the claws close, and the four positioning clamping protrusions are respectively inserted into the four positioning clamping holes 117, thereby positioning and clamping the carrier 100), which facilitates positioning, fixing, picking up, and placing.
[0029] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 6 The first activation conveyor 300 is used to convey the carrier 100. Along the conveying direction of the carrier 100, the first activation conveyor 300 is sequentially equipped with a lens pressing station 301, a flip-up and closing station 302, and a first activation station 303. The conveyor can be a common conveyor such as a synchronous belt, conveyor belt, or roller conveyor group. In this embodiment, the conveyor mainly consists of two synchronous belts separated on the left and right sides, and a synchronous motor. The synchronous motor drives the two synchronous belts to rotate synchronously. More specifically, the pulleys (or other types of rotating wheels) fitted onto the synchronous belts, the shaft connecting the pulleys, the bearings on the shaft connected to the base 3500, the driven pulleys fitted onto the synchronous belts, and the mounting base for the synchronous motor to connect to the base 3500, etc., are all common features in the prior art, and their specific arrangements and connections will not be elaborated here. Alternatively, it can be said that the conveyor is mounted on the base 3500. In this embodiment, the conveying direction of the carrier 100 (or the flow and testing direction of the smart glasses 200) is generally from front to back on all types of conveying devices unless otherwise specified; that is, on the first activation conveying device 300, the glasses pressing station 301, the flip-top closing station 302 and the first activation station 303 are arranged sequentially from front to back.
[0030] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 A glasses-pressing device 400 is installed at the glasses-pressing station 301. The glasses-pressing device 400 is used to press the smart glasses 200 into the carrier 100. By lightly pressing the smart glasses 200 and adjusting its position within the carrier 100 before the actual closing, activation, and testing, the glasses-pressing device 400 can correct any misplacement of the smart glasses 200 (such as slight tilting or one side being raised). This reduces testing errors caused by poor contact between the smart glasses 200 and the carrier 100 (for example, the smart glasses 200 may be normal and intact, but due to improper placement, the carrier plug 112 may not make good contact with the smart glasses 200 or may not be able to be inserted at all, ultimately affecting subsequent activation and testing results, leading to activation failure or unqualified performance during testing, causing a normal smart glasses 200 to be judged as unqualified). It should be understood that the pressure applied by the eyeglasses pressing device 400 to the smart glasses 200 is relatively small; that is, the eyeglasses pressing device 400 only lightly presses the smart glasses 200 to correct its position within the carrier 100.
[0031] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 A flip-and-close device 500 is installed at the flip-and-close station 302. The flip-and-close device 500 is used to flip the carrier cover 120 of the carrier 100 and close the carrier cover 120 of the carrier 100. After the smart glasses 200 are placed in the carrier 100 in the open state, the glasses pressing device 400 first corrects the position of the smart glasses 200 in the carrier 100, and then the flip-and-close device 500 flips the carrier cover 120 of the carrier 100 over, and then fastens (or closes) the carrier cover 120 and the carrier body 110. The two are firmly connected, so that the carrier cover 120 and the carrier body 110 can reliably limit and fix the smart glasses 200 inside, which facilitates the subsequent activation and testing work.
[0032] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 11The first activation device 600 is installed at the first activation station 303. The first activation device 600 is used to activate the smart glasses 200 via the carrier 100. The determination of results such as 'activation (success)' and 'activation failure' can be set according to actual conditions. For example, if it cannot be activated or powered on at all, it is determined as 'activation failure'; if it is not fully activated after a predetermined time, it is determined as 'activation failure'; if it cannot access a specific data interface (or transmit / receive test data) after activation, it is determined as 'activation failure'. Specifically, in this embodiment, the activation device includes an activation plug 610 and an activation module. The activation plug 610 and the activation module are electrically connected, and the activation module is electrically connected to the control system. Both the activation plug 610 and the activation module are installed on the positioning mechanism. The lower end of the carrier 100 (carrier body 110) is provided with a carrier interface 113. The positioning mechanism can drive the activation plug 610 to be inserted into the carrier interface 113. When the positioning mechanism performs lifting and positioning work, it can also drive the activation plug 610 to rise and be inserted into the carrier interface 113.
[0033] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 6 The activation failure conveyor 700 is used to convey a carrier 100 containing the smart glasses 200 that have failed to activate. The carrier 100 containing the smart glasses 200 that have failed to activate can be simply referred to as the failure carrier 100.
[0034] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 6 The activation failure transfer device 800 is used to transfer the carrier 100 containing the activated but failed smart glasses 200 from the first activation conveyor 300 to the activation failure conveyor 700. The activation failure transfer device 800 is used to transfer the failed carrier 100 from the first activation conveyor 300 to the activation failure conveyor 700. The successfully activated smart glasses 200 (carrier 100) can be conveyed via the first activation conveyor 300 (or the second activation conveyor 900) to the subsequent testing line for further performance testing; while the activated but failed smart glasses 200, after being transferred from the activation failure transfer device 800 to the activation failure conveyor 700, can be processed separately, or like the successfully activated smart glasses 200, can be transferred downstream via the test failure conveyor on the subsequent testing line, and finally removed from the carrier 100 on the unloading line.
[0035] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 10The transfer device can specifically be a combination of multiple translational structures (such as a slider-rail structure, a lead screw-nut structure, and a cylinder-driven structure), or a multi-joint robotic arm structure, all with a gripper drive component connected to their ends. The gripper drive component is connected to the gripper via a transmission mechanism. In this embodiment, the activation failure transfer device 800 includes an activation failure transfer rail, an activation failure slider, an activation failure motor, an activation failure lead screw, an activation failure nut, an activation failure mounting base, an activation failure lifting cylinder, an activation failure finger cylinder, and activation failure grippers. The activation failure lead screw and the activation failure mounting base are rotatably connected; the activation failure motor is connected to the activation failure lead screw via a transmission mechanism; the activation failure nut is connected to the activation failure lead screw (via a threaded sliding pair or a threaded rolling pair); the activation failure slider and the activation failure nut are fixedly connected; the activation failure slider is slidably connected to the activation failure transfer rail; the activation failure transfer rail is fixed to the activation failure mounting base; the activation failure lifting cylinder (cylinder) is fixed to the activation failure slider; the activation failure lifting cylinder is connected to the activation failure finger cylinder via a transmission mechanism; and the activation failure finger cylinder is connected to the activation failure grippers via a transmission mechanism. More specifically, there are two activation failure finger cylinders, each of which is driven and connected to two activation failure grippers, which can control the opening and closing of the two activation failure grippers. The activation failure lifting cylinder is driven and connected to the middle of the activation failure connecting plate. The two activation failure finger cylinders are respectively connected to the two ends of the activation failure connecting plate. The activation failure mounting base is fixed on the base 3500. The activation failure motor, the activation failure lifting cylinder, and the activation failure finger cylinder are all electrically connected to the control system.
[0036] During the actual transfer of carrier 100, a positioning mechanism lifts the carrier 100 to be transferred. The gripper of the transfer device grips the carrier 100 at a fixed point on the positioning mechanism and places the carrier 100 on another positioning mechanism at a different location. After receiving the carrier 100, the positioning mechanism can subsequently lower the carrier 100 and place it on the conveying device. The aforementioned positioning mechanism can also be a fixed positioning platform 2820, a storage platform, or other positioning components (such as positioning components of testing equipment or loading / unloading equipment), which only facilitates the positioning and placement of the carrier 100 without raising or lowering it. The specific transfer process of the carrier 100 varies depending on whether the transfer device is a multi-joint robotic arm or the aforementioned translational structure. Generally, the transfer device drives the gripper to move above the carrier 100 via a horizontal translational structure, and the gripper drive (finger cylinder) drives the gripper to separate. The transfer device then drives the gripper to move via a vertical translational structure (lifting mechanism). The moving gripper descends, and the gripper drive drives the gripper to approach and clamp the fixed carrier 100 through the positioning and clamping hole 117 on the carrier 100. The transfer device then drives the gripper to lift the carrier 100 together through the vertical translation structure (lifting mechanism), so as to avoid other components during subsequent movement. The transfer device then drives the gripper to move above the area where the carrier 100 is placed through the horizontal translation structure. The transfer device then drives the gripper to descend together through the vertical translation structure (lifting mechanism), placing the carrier 100 on the lifting positioning mechanism, the fixed positioning platform 2820, the fixed storage platform, the positioning component of the testing equipment, the loading and unloading equipment, or other positions (such as placing it directly on the conveyor device). The gripper drive drives the gripper to separate and release the carrier 100, completing the transfer of the carrier 100. The transfer device then drives the gripper to rise through the vertical translation structure (lifting mechanism), waiting for the next transfer operation, while avoiding the carrier 100 and other components.
[0037] The feeding activation line (unloading line, testing production line) may also include a control system. The control system is electrically connected to the eyeglasses pressing device 400, the flip-top closing device 500, the first activation device 600, and the activation failure conveying device 700. The electrical connection can be wired, such as by electrical wire or fiber optic cable, or wireless, such as by wireless network or Bluetooth. Specifically, the control system includes control elements. All components connected to the control system in this invention are connected to control elements. Control elements can be various CPUs, chips, microprocessors, microcontrollers, etc., or integrated devices containing the above components, such as host computers, tablet computers, embedded systems, etc. Multiple control elements can be provided, and each device can be correspondingly provided with (electrically connected to) at least one control element. The control elements corresponding to each device can also be electrically connected to one (or more) overall control elements. The control system may also include other components, such as a keyboard, mouse, monitor (or display screen), operation panel, and various operation buttons (such as emergency stop buttons and start buttons), all electrically connected to the control elements. The connection between the control system and each device is as follows: For example, the control system (control element) can be directly connected to the motor (electric cylinder) of each device, so as to directly control the motor. For example, each device may include a solenoid valve, the control element is electrically connected to the solenoid valve, and the solenoid valve corresponds to the cylinder (pneumatic cylinder, hydraulic cylinder) of each device, so that the control system can control the cylinder of each device through the solenoid valve (or, the cylinder of each device is electrically or indirectly connected to the control system through the solenoid valve). The control system is electrically connected to each device, enabling intelligent control of each device. For example, at each station of the first activated conveyor device 300, a carrier 100 (that has already completed its work at that station, such as a carrier 100 that has completed eyeglass pressing at station 301) is only allowed to move (conveyed / transported) to the next station (generally blocked, allowed, or detected by a positioning mechanism) when the device at the next station detects the absence of a carrier 100 at that station. This prevents collisions and squeezing of the carriers 100, and especially avoids obstructing the grippers' grasp of the carriers 100 or disrupting the conveying order. Various conveying devices can also be electrically connected to the control system to control the opening and closing of the conveying devices, and even control their conveying speed and direction.
[0038] The feeding and activation line is equipped with a glasses-pressing device 400, which can gently press the smart glasses 200 and adjust their position within the carrier 100 before formal closing, activation, and testing. This corrects any misplacement of the smart glasses 200, reducing testing errors caused by poor fit between the smart glasses 200 and the carrier 100. After the glasses-pressing device 400 corrects the position of the smart glasses 200 within the carrier 100, the flip-and-close device 500 flips the carrier cover 120 of the carrier 100 and fastens it to the carrier body 110, ensuring a secure connection. This allows the carrier cover 120 and carrier body 110 to reliably position and fix the smart glasses 200 within them, facilitating subsequent activation and testing. The activation failure transfer device 800 can transfer failed carriers 100 from the first activation conveyor 300 to the activation failure conveyor 700 for centralized processing of failed smart glasses 200.
[0039] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments of the present invention, the glasses pressing device 400 includes a glasses pressing positioning mechanism 410 and a glasses pressing mechanism 420. The glasses pressing positioning mechanism 410 is used to position the carrier 100 at the glasses pressing station 301. The glasses pressing mechanism 420 includes a glasses pressing avoidance cylinder 421, a glasses pressing lower pressing cylinder 422, a glasses pressing mounting plate 423, and a plurality of glasses pressing rods 424. The glasses pressing avoidance cylinder 421 is operatively connected to the glasses pressing lower pressing cylinder 422. The glasses pressing lower pressing cylinder 422 is operatively connected to the glasses pressing mounting plate 423. The upper ends of the plurality of glasses pressing rods 424 are movably connected to the glasses pressing mounting plate 423. The lower ends of the plurality of glasses pressing rods 424 are used to abut against and apply pressure to the smart glasses 200.
[0040] In this embodiment, the carrier loading device is located at the foremost end of the first activation conveyor 300, while the eyeglasses loading device 1500 is located next to the eyeglasses pressing station 301. During actual loading, the carrier loading device transports the carrier 100, which is in an open state, to the foremost end of the first activation conveyor 300. The first activation conveyor 300 then transports the carrier 100 to the eyeglasses pressing station 301, where the eyeglasses pressing positioning mechanism 410 positions and fixes the carrier 100 on the eyeglasses pressing station 301. Afterward, the eyeglasses loading device 1500 transports and places a smart eyeglass 200 into the carrier 100 (within the limiting recess of the carrier body 110). Since the eyeglasses loading device 1500 places the smart eyeglass 200 into the carrier 100 from top to bottom, and the eyeglasses pressing cylinder 422 also drives the eyeglasses pressing device from top to bottom, the loading device... The mounting plate 423 and the pressure rod 424 move so that the pressure rod 424 can apply pressure to the smart glasses 200 inside the carrier 100. Therefore, a pressure clearance cylinder 421 needs to be set up so that the pressure mounting plate 423, the pressure rod 424, etc. first clear the space above the carrier 100 on the pressure station 301 (specifically, in this embodiment, the pressure clearance cylinder 421 drives the pressure lower cylinder 422, the pressure mounting plate 423 and the pressure rod 424 to move forward together), so that the glasses loading device 1500 can transport the smart glasses 200 into the carrier 100. Then, the pressure clearance cylinder 421 drives the pressure lower cylinder 422, the pressure mounting plate 423 and the pressure rod 424 to move backward together, so that the pressure rod 424 moves to directly above the smart glasses 200.Because the smart glasses 200 may not be perfectly positioned within the carrier 100 when the glasses loading device 1500 transports it, and there may be some tilting or lifting, a glasses-pressing cylinder 422, a glasses-pressing mounting plate 423, and glasses-pressing rods 424 are provided. After the glasses-pressing rods 424 move directly above the smart glasses 200, the glasses-pressing cylinder 422 drives the glasses-pressing mounting plate 423 to move downwards, thereby causing all the glasses-pressing rods 424 to move downwards together. Finally, the multiple glasses-pressing rods 424 apply downward pressure to multiple points of the smart glasses 200, so that the smart glasses 200 can be completely embedded (fitted) into the carrier 100 (within the limiting recess of the carrier body 110). The glasses-pressing mounting plate 423 and multiple glasses-pressing rods 424 are provided so that the multiple glasses-pressing rods 424 move downwards by the same amount, and the multiple glasses-pressing rods 424 and the smart glasses The contact time of the two glasses is basically the same to prevent a single pressure rod 424 from moving down and contacting the smart glasses 200 too early, which would result in uneven force on the smart glasses 200 and cause the smart glasses 200 to tilt. Multiple pressure rods 424 are movably connected to the glasses mounting plate 423, allowing for fine-tuning of the specific height and even position of the lower end of the pressure rod 424, thus better adapting to the smart glasses 200 and improving the pressure effect. Specifically, the pressure rod 424 can be threadedly connected to the glasses mounting plate 423, allowing for fine-tuning of the lower end of the pressure rod 424 by rotating it. Furthermore, a buffer can be installed at the lower end of the pressure rod 424. The buffer contacts and applies pressure to the smart glasses 200, minimizing the risk of damage. Specifically, the buffer can be a buffer head or buffer layer composed of rubber, silicone, sponge, cloth, foam, air bubbles, polyurethane coating, etc. The cylinder of the eyeglasses-pressing avoidance cylinder 421 is fixed on the base 3500. It should be understood that after each component in this invention has completed its predetermined work through mechanical movement, there is generally a reset process, during which the component returns to its original position. This reset process is generally the reverse of the movement process during the component's predetermined work (the execution order may vary). The control system is electrically connected to the eyeglasses-pressing positioning mechanism 410, the eyeglasses-pressing avoidance cylinder 421, and the eyeglasses-pressing cylinder 422.
[0041] It should be understood that the various positioning mechanisms in this invention are used to position and fix the carrier 100 in a fixed position (i.e., the carrier 100 is fixed at a predetermined location), or to receive the carrier 100 at a predetermined location, thereby facilitating the fixed-point retrieval and placement of the carrier 100 and the smart glasses 200 by other components. It should also be understood that in some embodiments, some workstations do not require the retrieval and placement of the carrier 100. The positioning mechanism at this workstation can also provide a more stable temporary fixation of the carrier 100, so that the carrier 100 is not only fixed and will not move horizontally, but is also fixed vertically, making the carrier 100 more secure and facilitating the work at this workstation. For example, at the activation workstation, when the activation device inserts the carrier 100, it has a certain lifting force on the carrier 100. In order to prevent the carrier 100 from being lifted during insertion, causing the carrier 100 to fall or not be properly inserted, the carrier 100 can be fixed vertically to prevent the carrier 100 from being lifted during insertion. It should be understood that the positioning mechanism of the present invention, in addition to the positioning mechanism in this embodiment, can also refer to other positioning mechanisms in the prior art.
[0042] It should be understood that, in addition to the embodiments described above, the eyeglass pressing mechanism 420 can also apply pressure to the smart glasses 200 in other ways, such as by using a large-angle rotation similar to the flip-top closing device 500 to avoid and press the glasses. It should also be understood that the cylinder in this invention can be a pneumatic cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, electric cylinder, etc.; each cylinder includes a cylinder barrel and a piston rod, with the piston rod movably connected to the cylinder barrel. Under the action of external power (such as air pressure, hydraulic pressure, electricity, etc.), the piston rod can extend and retract relative to the cylinder barrel, thereby driving the movement of other parts (connected to the piston rod); and some dedicated sliding cylinders also have (or have built-in) sliding grooves (or sliding rails) on their cylinder barrels, which can slide and connect with the components driven by their piston rods; other structures and specific operating principles of the cylinder are common in existing technology and will not be elaborated here.
[0043] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 6 In some embodiments of the present invention, the eyeglass pressing device 400 further includes an open cover sensor 430, which is used to detect whether the carrier 100 on the eyeglass pressing station 301 is in an open cover state.
[0044] Specifically, the cover-opening sensor 430 can be a photoelectric through-beam sensor, a distance sensor, a proximity switch sensor, etc. After the carrier 100 is transported (or transferred) to the eyeglasses pressing station 301 and positioned and fixed by the eyeglasses pressing positioning mechanism 410, if the carrier 100 is in the normal open state (the carrier cover 120 rotates to the front of the carrier body 110), the carrier cover 120 of the carrier 100 will be exactly in front of the cover-opening sensor 430, thereby blocking the through-beam of the cover-opening sensor 430 (or shortening the distance detected by the cover-opening sensor 430 to a predetermined range), so that the cover-opening sensor 430 detects that the carrier 100 is in the normal open state. Conversely, if the cover-opening sensor 430 detects that the carrier 100 is not in the normal open state, special handling is required (such as issuing an alarm or even stopping the machine for manual troubleshooting; or handling it through the control system controlling other dedicated processing devices). The control system is electrically connected to the cover-opening sensor 430. The cover opening sensor 430 is generally set at a predetermined position on the base 3500.
[0045] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 In some embodiments of the present invention, the flip-top closing device 500 includes a flip-top closing positioning mechanism 510, a feeding flip-top mechanism 520, and a closing mechanism 530; the flip-top closing positioning mechanism 510 is used to position the carrier 100 (carrier body 110) at the flip-top closing station 302; the carrier 100 includes a carrier body 110 and a carrier cover 120, one side of the carrier cover 120 is hinged to one side of the carrier body 110, and the other side of the carrier cover 120 is used to snap-fit with the other side of the carrier body 110; the feeding flip-top mechanism 520 is used to drive the carrier cover 120 to flip over to the top of the carrier body 110, and the closing mechanism 530 is used to snap-fit (or snap-fit) the carrier cover 120 and the carrier body 110.
[0046] The flip-top and closing positioning mechanism 510, the feeding flip-top mechanism 520, and the closing mechanism 530 are all electrically connected to the control system. By setting up the flip-top and closing positioning mechanism 510, the feeding flip-top mechanism 520, and the closing mechanism 530, the carrier 100 can be positioned, flipped, and closed in an orderly and automatic manner at the flip-top and closing station 302, with a high degree of automation.
[0047] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5In some embodiments of the present invention, the feeding flip-top mechanism 520 includes a feeding flip-top motor 521, a feeding flip-top rotating arm 522, a feeding flip-top cylinder 523, and a feeding flip-top gripper 524. The feeding flip-top motor 521 is driven to the feeding flip-top rotating arm 522 and is used to drive the feeding flip-top rotating arm 522 to rotate. The feeding flip-top cylinder 523 is disposed on the feeding flip-top rotating arm 522 and is driven to the feeding flip-top gripper 524. The feeding flip-top cylinder 523 is used to drive the feeding flip-top gripper 524 to approach or move away from the carrier cover 120.
[0048] In this embodiment, during the actual loading and flipping operation, initially, the loading and flipping mechanism 520 is in its original position, allowing the loading and flipping gripper 524 to avoid space for the carrier 100 to move. The carrier 100 is in an open state (facilitating the placement of the smart glasses 200 and the pressing of the glasses). The carrier cover 120 is approximately located at the front of the carrier body 110, with one side of the carrier cover 120 hinged to the upper front of the carrier body 110, and the other side of the carrier cover 120 being snapped to the upper rear of the carrier body 110. After the carrier 100 is transported to the flipping and closing station 302, the carrier 100 is positioned in the flipping and closing station 302 by the flipping and closing positioning mechanism 510. The loading and flipping cylinder 523 drives the loading and flipping gripper 524 to approach the carrier cover 120, so that the carrier cover 120 (part of it) is in the loading position. In the flip-top gripper 524, the loading flip-top motor 521 drives the loading flip-top rotating arm 522 to rotate, thereby driving the loading flip-top cylinder 523 on the loading flip-top rotating arm 522, the loading flip-top gripper 524 connected to the loading flip-top cylinder 523, and the carrier cover 120 in the loading flip-top gripper 524 to rotate (or rotate, flip) together, so that the carrier cover 120 rotates from the front side of the carrier body 110 to the top of the carrier body 110, thereby completing the loading flip-top operation; then the loading flip-top cylinder 523 drives the loading flip-top gripper 524 away from the carrier cover 120 (the carrier cover 120 is no longer in the loading flip-top gripper 524), and the loading flip-top motor 521 drives the loading flip-top rotating arm 522 to rotate in the opposite direction to perform a reset operation, to prevent obstruction of the subsequent closing operation, and at the same time to prepare for the subsequent loading flip-top operation of the carrier 100.
[0049] It is important to understand that if the loading and flipping mechanism 520 forces the carrier cover 120 to close, there are two issues: First, it is easily obstructed by the smart glasses 200 inside the carrier 100, and the loading and flipping clamp is likely to touch and damage the smart glasses 200. Second, if the smart glasses 200 is deliberately avoided, the loading and flipping claw 524 will only concentrate its force on a small area of the carrier cover 120. When the loading and flipping mechanism 520 forces the carrier cover 120 to close, it is easy to cause uneven force application, resulting in the carrier cover 120 not closing properly (the carrier cover 120 fails to snap into the carrier body 110, or the two snap together poorly). The following issues arise: First, the connection may be unstable and prone to loosening and detachment. Second, during subsequent reset, the gripper of carrier 100 may collide and rub against the carrier 100, or the control complexity and difficulty of the feeding flip-top motor 521 may increase (during reset, the feeding flip-top motor 521 needs to rotate in the opposite direction by a very small angle to avoid collision and friction, and it needs to stop immediately after rotating this angle to prevent excessive rotation and causing carrier 100 to move upwards). Third, besides engaging the carrier cover 120 and carrier body 110, the closing operation requires additional work; therefore, a special closing mechanism 530 is needed for the closing operation. The feeding flip-top motor 521 is fixed on the base 3500. Both the feeding flip-top motor 521 and the feeding flip-top cylinder 523 are electrically connected to the control system.
[0050] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 In some embodiments of the present invention, the lid closing mechanism 530 includes a lid closing pressing cylinder 531, a lid closing mounting plate 532, and a lid closing pressing block 533. The lid closing pressing cylinder 531 is drivenly connected to the lid closing mounting plate 532. The upper end of the lid closing pressing block 533 is connected to the lid closing mounting plate 532, and the lower end of the lid closing pressing block 533 is used to abut against and apply pressure to the carrier lid 120.
[0051] The cylinder of the closing and pressing cylinder 531 is fixed on the base 3500. The control system is electrically connected to the closing and pressing cylinder 531. The closing and pressing block 533 can be set as a component that fits the shape of the vehicle cover 120, and multiple closing and pressing blocks 533 can be provided; the closing and pressing block 533 can be part of the closing and mounting plate 532 (integrated with the closing and mounting plate 532) or an independent component. Referring to the above-mentioned pressing rod 424, the lower end of the closing and pressing block 533 can also be provided with a buffer layer, buffer head and other structures. The setting of the closing and mounting plate 532 and the closing and pressing block 533 allows the closing mechanism 530 to apply force to multiple areas of the vehicle cover 120 when it fastens the vehicle cover 120 and the vehicle body 110, making the force on the vehicle cover 120 more even, thereby making the fastening of the vehicle cover 120 and the vehicle body 110 smoother.
[0052] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 11and Figure 13 Furthermore, the closing mechanism 530 may also include a closing latch cylinder 534 and a closing latch pressing block 535; a first latch protrusion 121 is provided on the other side of the vehicle cover 120, and a latch movable block 111 is provided on the other side of the vehicle body 110. The middle part of the latch movable block 111 is rotatably connected to the vehicle body 110, and a second latch protrusion 111a is provided at the upper end of the latch movable block 111. A latch elastic element is provided inside the vehicle body 110. One end of the latch elastic element is used to abut the lower end of the latch movable block 111, and the other end of the latch elastic element is used to abut the vehicle body 110; the closing latch cylinder 534 (cylinder) is provided on the closing mounting plate 532, and the closing latch cylinder 534 (piston rod) is connected to the closing latch pressing block 535. The closing latch cylinder 534 is used to drive the closing latch pressing block 535 to approach and abut the upper end of the latch movable block 111.
[0053] The latching elastic element can be a spring, disc spring, elastic plastic part, elastic sheet, etc. The cover latching block 535 can be an independent component or part of the piston rod of the cover latching cylinder 534; the same applies to other similar components. The cover latching block 535 can also be provided with a buffer layer, buffer head, or other structures. Although the latching elastic element of the carrier 100 and the chamfer on the latching protrusion generally allow the carrier cover 120 to automatically latch when pressed down, in order to prevent the latching elastic element from failing or to avoid the latching movable block 111 from accidentally getting stuck, which would prevent the carrier cover 120 and the carrier body 110 from latching and connecting, the cover latching cylinder 534 and the cover latching block 535 are additionally provided. These can actively rotate the latching movable block 111 to latch (the second latching protrusion 111a moves above the first latching protrusion 121, preventing the first latching protrusion 121 from moving upward). The control system is electrically connected to the cover and latches the cylinder body 534.
[0054] In this embodiment, during the actual lid-closing operation; after the carrier 100 is transported to the lid-closing station 302 and the loading and lid-closing operation is completed (after the loading and lid-closing mechanism 520 is reset), the lid-closing pressing cylinder 531 drives the lid-closing mounting plate 532 and the lid-closing pressing block 533 to move down together. The lid-closing pressing block 533 approaches and abuts against the carrier lid 120, applying pressure to the carrier lid 120 and driving the carrier lid 120 to rotate (move) downwards, ultimately causing the carrier lid 120 to abut against the upper end face (upper surface) of the carrier body 110. At this time, under normal circumstances, the latching movable block 111 can automatically latch under the action of the latching elastic element. Specifically, the upper end of the latching movable block 111 moves closer to the carrier body. The body 110 and the vehicle cover 120 rotate on one side, causing the second latching protrusion 111a on the latching movable block 111 to move above the first latching protrusion 121 on the vehicle cover 120. The second latching protrusion 111a can prevent the first latching protrusion 121 from moving upward, thereby making the connection between the vehicle body 110 and the vehicle cover 120 secure and preventing the vehicle cover 120 from opening arbitrarily. In order to avoid some unexpected situations, the cover-closing latching cylinder 534 drives the cover-closing latching pressure block 535 to approach and abut against the upper end of the latching movable block 111, so that the cover-closing latching pressure block 535 applies appropriate pressure to the upper end of the latching movable block 111, ensuring that the latching movable block 111 is engaged and completing the cover-closing operation.
[0055] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 6In some embodiments of the present invention, the feeding and activation line further includes a second activation conveying device 900, a second activation device 1000, an activation transfer device 1100, a first activation failure positioning mechanism 1200, and a second activation failure positioning mechanism 1300; both the first activation conveying device 300 and the second activation conveying device 900 are used to convey the carrier 100 backward; the first activation conveying device 300 is provided with a glasses pressing station 301, a flip-top closing station 302, a first activation station 303, and a first activation failure station 304 arranged sequentially from front to back, and the second activation conveying device 900 is provided with a second activation station 901 and a second activation failure station 902 arranged sequentially from front to back; the second activation device 1000 is disposed on the second activation station 901, and the second activation device 1000 is used to activate the smart glasses 200 through the carrier 100; activation The transfer device 1100 is used to transfer the carrier 100 that has not been activated on the first activation station 303 to the second activation station 901, where the second activation device 1000 performs the activation work; the first activation failure positioning mechanism 1200 is set on the first activation failure station 304, and the second activation failure positioning mechanism 1300 is set on the second activation failure station 902; the activation failure transfer device 800 is used to transfer the carrier 100 of the smart glasses 200 that has failed to activate on the first activation failure positioning mechanism 1200 to the activation failure conveying device 700 (activation failure conveying positioning mechanism 710), and the activation failure transfer device 800 is also used to transfer the carrier 100 of the smart glasses 200 that has failed to activate on the second activation failure positioning mechanism 1300 to the activation failure conveying device 700 (activation failure conveying positioning mechanism 710).
[0056] Since the activation of the smart glasses 200 requires a relatively long time, setting up only a single activation device would affect the overall testing effect of the testing pipeline. Therefore, two activation devices are set up to activate two smart glasses 200 simultaneously. The second activation conveyor 900 serves two purposes: firstly, the activation of the second carrier 100 and smart glasses 200 is performed on the second activation conveyor 900, minimizing obstruction to the normal transport of carrier 100 on the first activation conveyor 300; secondly, since the subsequent testing line also has three activation conveyor lines, there is space to set up the second activation conveyor 900 without changing the overall layout of the testing pipeline; and thirdly, an activation transfer device 1 is also provided. The activation transfer device 1100 facilitates the transport of the carrier 100 from the first activation conveyor 300 to the second activation conveyor 900 for activation. The specific structure of the activation transfer device 1100 is similar to that of the activation failure conveyor 700 described above, and will not be repeated here. The activation failure station and activation failure positioning mechanism facilitate subsequent positioning, transfer, and reception of the carrier 100 on the second activation conveyor 900, simplifying the control process and reducing complexity. This prevents a single conveyor from undertaking multiple different tasks, which could lead to program confusion and affect the stability of the entire testing pipeline. It also improves activation efficiency and the overall transport and testing speed of the carrier 100. The control system is electrically connected to the second activation device 100, the activation transfer device 1100, the first activation failure positioning mechanism 1200, and the second activation failure positioning mechanism 1300.
[0057] In this embodiment, the first activation conveyor 300, the second activation conveyor 900, and the activation failure conveyor 700 are arranged side by side. In other words, the first activation conveyor 300, the second activation conveyor 900, and the activation failure conveyor 700 all convey the carrier 100 in the front-to-back direction. The first activation conveyor 300 is located on one side of the second activation conveyor 900, and the activation failure conveyor 700 is located on the other side. The test in progress conveyor, the test success conveyor, and the test failure conveyor are arranged similarly (the difference is that the one located in the middle of the left-right direction may be either the test in progress conveyor or the test success conveyor, which needs to be determined based on the specific position of the test line in the test production line). An activation failure conveyor positioning station may also be provided in the activation failure conveyor 700, and an activation failure conveyor positioning mechanism 710 is provided at the activation failure positioning station.
[0058] In this embodiment (assuming the workstation is empty and can accommodate the carrier 100 to be transported to the workstation to complete the corresponding work), when the loading activation line is actually working, the carrier 100 in the open state is transported by the front end of the first activation conveyor 300 to the glasses pressing workstation 301, and is positioned and fixed by the glasses pressing device 400 (glasses pressing positioning mechanism 410); the glasses loading device 1500 places the smart glasses 200 into the carrier 100, and the glasses pressing device 400 lightly presses the smart glasses 200 to complete the glasses pressing work; the glasses pressing device 400 (glasses pressing positioning mechanism 410) releases (i.e., no longer positions and fixes the carrier 100), and the carrier 100 is transported by the first activation conveyor 300 to the flip-top closing workstation. At position 302, the cover is positioned and fixed by the flip-and-close device 500 (flip-and-close positioning mechanism 510); the flip-and-close device 500 completes the flip-and-close operation, so that the carrier cover 120 and the carrier body 110 are fastened together, and the smart glasses 200 are securely fixed inside the carrier 100; the flip-and-close device 500 (flip-and-close positioning mechanism 510) releases, and the carrier 100 is transported by the first activation conveying device 300 to the first activation station 303, where it is positioned and fixed by the first activation device 600 (first activation positioning mechanism) (if the second activation station 901 is vacant, the activation transfer device 1100 can transfer the carrier 100 to the second activation station 901, where it is positioned and fixed by the second activation device 1000). (The first activation device 600 activates the carrier 100. After activation, the first activation device 600 (first activation positioning mechanism) releases the carrier 100, which is then transported by the first activation conveyor 300 to the first activation failure station 304. If activation is successful and the station on the subsequent test line is vacant, the first activation failure positioning mechanism 1200 can release the carrier 100 directly without positioning it, allowing it to be directly transported to the subsequent test line. If activation is successful but the station on the subsequent test line is not yet vacant, the first activation failure positioning mechanism 1200 can temporarily position and fix the carrier 100 (generally...). The carrier 100 will be raised so that it does not come into contact with the first activation conveyor 300 during this period, thus avoiding continuous friction between the carrier 100 and the first activation conveyor 300, which could cause wear, shaking, or even tilting and falling of the carrier 100. Once the workstation on the subsequent test line is cleared, it will be released (the carrier 100 will be lowered so that it is no longer blocked), allowing the carrier 100 to be conveyed to the subsequent test line. If activation fails, the first activation failure positioning mechanism 1200 will position and fix the carrier 100, and the activation failure conveyor 700 will transfer the carrier 100 to the activation failure conveyor 700 (which will be received at a fixed point by the activation failure conveyor positioning mechanism 710 at the activation failure conveyor positioning workstation).If the activation is successful, the carrier 100 is positioned and fixed by the second activation device 1000 at the second activation station 901 and the activation work is performed. After the activation work is completed, the second activation device 1000 (second activation positioning mechanism) releases the carrier 100, which is then transported by the second activation conveyor 900 to the second activation failure station 902, where the second activation failure positioning mechanism 1300 positions and fixes the carrier 100. If the activation is successful, the activation failure transfer device 800 transfers the carrier 100 from the second activation failure positioning mechanism 1300 to the first activation failure positioning mechanism 1200, which receives the successfully activated carrier 100 at a fixed point. The decision to release the carrier directly or temporarily position and fix it depends on the subsequent testing line conditions. If the activation fails, the activation failure conveyor 700 transfers the carrier 100 to the activation failure conveyor 700 (which is received at a fixed point by the activation failure conveyor positioning mechanism 710 at the activation failure conveyor positioning station).
[0059] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present invention, an activation failure blocking member is fixed at one end of the activation failure conveying device 700, the activation failure conveying device 700 is used to convey the carrier 100 to one end of the activation failure conveying device 700, an activation failure sensor is provided in the middle of the activation failure conveying device 700, and the activation failure sensor and the activation failure blocking member are separated by a predetermined distance.
[0060] Under normal circumstances, carriers 100 that fail to activate or fail to test are sequentially delivered to the unloading line by the failure conveyor. However, the aforementioned setup prevents carriers 100 that fail to activate from being conveyed further to the unloading line. Instead, they are blocked and accumulated at one end of the failure conveyor 700. Firstly, because the probability of smart glasses 200 failing to activate is very low, the accumulation of a predetermined number of failed smart glasses 200 in a batch of tests likely indicates a problem in a certain stage of the activation line, or a significant problem with this batch of smart glasses 200. Therefore, in such special circumstances, the control system will directly issue an alarm or even shut down the system for troubleshooting. Secondly, during the debugging of the test line, the complex structure of the activation line and the numerous debugging attempts make it prone to activation failures. This setup prevents failed carriers 100 from flowing away during debugging, facilitating the debugging process. Specifically, the activation failure blocking component can be a blocking strip, blocking block, blocking plate, etc.; the activation failure sensor can refer to the opening sensor 430 mentioned above, or it can be a photoelectric beam sensor, distance sensor, proximity switch sensor, etc.; the predetermined distance is approximately the distance occupied by N carriers 100 placed sequentially on the activation failure conveyor (two adjacent carriers 100 contacting each other). The predetermined distance, N, etc. can be set according to the actual situation (N is a positive integer greater than three). In this embodiment, since the activation failure conveying and positioning station is located at the rear end of the activation failure conveying device 700, the activation failure blocking component is set at the front end of the activation failure conveying device 700. The activation failure conveying device 700 is used to convey the carrier 100 forward (other conveying devices are mostly used to convey the carrier 100 backward). The activation failure sensor is located between the activation failure conveying and positioning station and the activation failure blocking component. The activation failure sensor is a photoelectric beam sensor. When a predetermined number (e.g., eight) of failed carriers 100 accumulate on the activation failure conveying device 700, the failed carriers 100 block the light beam from the photoelectric beam sensor. The photoelectric beam sensor sends a signal to the control system, and the control system controls the alarm to sound an alarm (furthermore, the activation failure conveying device 700 is also equipped with an alarm; specifically, the alarm can be a tri-color light, a buzzer, etc.). The activation failure sensor and the control system are electrically connected.
[0061] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2In some embodiments, the feeding activation line further includes a carrier feeding device and a glasses feeding device 1500; the carrier feeding device is located at the beginning of the first activation conveyor 300 (or, the first activation conveyor 300 is used to convey the carrier 100 backward, and the carrier feeding device is located at the front end of the first activation conveyor 300), and the carrier feeding device is used to transport the carrier 100 (in the open state) onto the first activation conveyor 300; the glasses feeding device 1500 is located on the side of the first activation conveyor 300 (the side closer to the first activation conveyor 300 on the left or right side, which is also the side away from the activation failure conveyor 700), and the glasses feeding device 1500 is used to transport the smart glasses 200 onto the carrier 100 (in the open state, located at the glasses pressing station 301, and positioned and fixed by the glasses pressing device 400). Although the loading of the carrier 100 and the smart glasses 200 is generally done automatically by a loading device, manual loading is also possible under special circumstances.
[0062] In this embodiment, since the carrier 100 is circulated using a reflux method, the carrier loading device is a carrier lifting device 1400. Specifically, the carrier lifting device 1400 includes a carrier loading lifting drive (cylinder or motor), a carrier loading lifting guide rail, a carrier loading lifting seat, and a carrier loading conveying mechanism. The carrier loading lifting seat is slidably connected to the carrier loading lifting guide rail. The carrier loading lifting drive is driven to move the carrier loading lifting seat up and down. The carrier loading conveying mechanism is mounted on the carrier loading lifting seat and is used to convey the carrier 100. The carrier loading lifting drive can be a cylinder or a motor; the carrier loading lifting guide rail extends generally in a vertical direction; and the carrier loading conveying mechanism can refer to the conveying device described above, and is generally a synchronous belt structure. Specifically, the carrier loading lifting guide rail lowers the carrier loading lifting seat and the carrier loading conveyor together. The carrier loading conveyor docks with the return conveyor 2910 of the return line 2900. The return conveyor 2910 transports the empty carrier 100 (carrier 100 without smart glasses 200) with its cover open to the carrier loading conveyor. The carrier loading lifting guide rail then raises the carrier loading lifting seat and the carrier loading conveyor together. The carrier loading conveyor docks with the first activation conveyor 300. The feeding conveyor transports the empty carrier 100 in the open state to the first activated conveyor 300; the carrier lifting device 1400 receives the carrier 100 at the unloading line and transports it to the return line 2900. The specific process is similar to that described above and will not be repeated here. It should be understood that the carrier lifting device 1400 is generally also equipped with a sensor to test whether the carrier 100 exists inside the carrier lifting device 1400 (similar to the sensor in the positioning mechanism, both are used to achieve orderly and intelligent transport of the carrier 100).
[0063] The eyeglasses loading device 1500 includes an eyeglasses loading and storage main body, an eyeglasses loading lifting mechanism, and an eyeglasses loading transfer mechanism. The eyeglasses loading and storage main body has an eyeglasses storage cavity. Smart glasses 200 are stacked sequentially in the eyeglasses storage cavity in a vertical direction. The eyeglasses loading lifting mechanism is located below the eyeglasses storage cavity, and the bottommost smart glasses 200 are located on the eyeglasses loading lifting mechanism. During the eyeglasses loading operation, the eyeglasses loading transfer mechanism picks up the topmost smart glasses 200 in the eyeglasses storage cavity and places it on the carrier 100 (at the eyeglasses pressing station 301). Meanwhile, the eyeglasses loading lifting mechanism moves the remaining smart glasses 200 in the eyeglasses storage cavity upwards a predetermined distance to facilitate subsequent picking by the eyeglasses loading transfer mechanism.
[0064] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 Furthermore, the feeding activation line also includes a scanning mechanism 1600, which is used to scan the carrier 100 and assign an identification mark to the carrier 100.
[0065] The scanning mechanism 1600 is electrically connected to the control system. The scanning mechanism 1600 scans the carrier 100, specifically by scanning QR codes, barcodes, or other markings on the carrier 100, or by activating an RFID card inside the carrier 100 using an RFID reader. After scanning, the carrier 100 is bound to the smart glasses 200, or in other words, the carrier 100 assigns a specific identification to the smart glasses 200, facilitating product traceability and management. In particular, it records smart glasses 200 that fail testing, along with the corresponding test failure items, making it easier to later recall and analyze these defective products. This assists in improving and upgrading the manufacturing of smart glasses 200, reducing the probability of defective smart glasses 200 appearing.
[0066] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 12According to an embodiment of the present invention, the unloading line is used to receive the tested qualified carrier 100 (or, the carrier 100 containing the tested qualified smart glasses 200) and the tested unqualified carrier 100 (or, the carrier 100 containing the tested unqualified smart glasses 200) conveyed by the first test line 3100 (actually the last test line). The unloading line is also used to remove the smart glasses 200 from the carrier 100. The unloading line includes a first unloading conveying device 1700, a first opening device 1800, a first glasses removal positioning mechanism 1900, a first empty carrier positioning mechanism 2000, a first glasses picking device 2100, a second unloading conveying device 2200, a second opening device 2300, a second glasses removal positioning mechanism 2400, a second empty carrier positioning mechanism 2500, a second glasses picking device 2600, and an empty carrier transfer device 2700.
[0067] The first unloading conveyor 1700 is used to receive and convey the tested and qualified carrier 100. Along the conveying direction of the tested and qualified carrier 100, the first unloading conveyor 1700 is provided with a first opening station 1701, a first eyeglass removal station 1702 and a first empty carrier station 1703 in sequence.
[0068] The first opening device 1800 is set on the first opening station 1701. The first opening device 1800 is used to open the vehicle cover 120 of the (test-qualified) vehicle 100.
[0069] The first eyeglasses retrieval positioning mechanism 1900 is installed on the first eyeglasses retrieval station 1702. The first eyeglasses retrieval positioning mechanism 1900 is used to position the (test-qualified) carrier 100 at the first eyeglasses retrieval station 1702.
[0070] The first glasses picking device 2100 is used to pick up the (test-qualified) smart glasses 200 from the carrier 100 on the first glasses picking station 1702.
[0071] The first empty vehicle positioning mechanism 2000 is installed on the first empty vehicle station 1703.
[0072] The second unloading conveyor 2200 is used to receive and convey the test-failed carrier 100; along the conveying direction of the test-failed carrier 100, the second unloading conveyor 2200 is sequentially provided with a second cover opening station 2201, a second eyeglass removal station 2202, and a second empty carrier station 2203.
[0073] The second cover opening device 2300 is set on the second cover opening station 2201. The second cover opening device 2300 is used to open the vehicle cover 120 of the (test-failed) vehicle 100.
[0074] The second eyeglasses retrieval positioning mechanism 2400 is installed on the second eyeglasses retrieval station 2202. The second eyeglasses retrieval positioning mechanism 2400 is used to position the (test-failed) carrier 100 in the second eyeglasses retrieval station 2202.
[0075] The second glasses picking device 2600 is used to remove the (failed) smart glasses 200 from the carrier 100 on the second glasses picking station 2202.
[0076] The second empty vehicle positioning mechanism 2500 is installed on the second empty vehicle station 2203. The second empty vehicle positioning mechanism 2500 is used to position the vehicle 100 in the second empty vehicle station 2203.
[0077] Empty vehicle transfer device 2700 is used to transfer vehicle 100 on the second empty vehicle station 2203 to the first empty vehicle positioning mechanism 2000 on the first empty vehicle station 1703. The first empty vehicle positioning mechanism 2000 is used to receive vehicle 100 and place vehicle 100 on the first unloading conveyor device 1700.
[0078] By incorporating a cover-opening device, the cover of the carrier 100 can be automatically opened, facilitating the retrieval of the smart glasses 200 within the carrier 100. A glasses-retrieval positioning mechanism can accurately position and fix the carrier 100 in a specific location, allowing the glasses-retrieval device to precisely and accurately retrieve the smart glasses 200 from the carrier 100. Furthermore, the glasses-retrieval device allows for the separate removal and storage of qualified and unqualified smart glasses 200 in different areas for subsequent processing. Specifically, qualified smart glasses 200 can be collected and prepared for subsequent transportation and sales, while unqualified smart glasses 200 can be stored separately in a specific location (or, multiple unqualified smart glasses 200 can be stored in different, specific locations, separated and processed individually). This facilitates differentiation and allows for identification of the specific aspects of the unqualified items, enabling subsequent analysis of these unqualified smart glasses 200 to identify the causes of their failure and aiding in improvements and upgrades to the manufacturing process. By setting up an empty carrier 100 positioning mechanism and an empty carrier transfer device 2700, it is convenient to concentrate the carriers 100 (i.e., empty carriers 100) that have had the smart glasses 200 removed onto a single conveyor (one production line), facilitating the subsequent recycling of the carriers 100 on the testing production line. Specifically, for example, the first unloading conveyor 1700 (directly or indirectly) is connected to the return line 2900, through which the carriers 100 are returned to the first activation conveyor 300 of the loading activation line. Alternatively, the testing production line itself is roughly circular with its ends connected, so the end (output end) of the first unloading conveyor 1700 is directly connected to the beginning (input end) of the first activation conveyor 300. Another example is the provision of a dedicated transport trolley, which stops at the end of the first unloading conveyor 1700, receives the empty carriers 100, and moves them to the beginning of the first activation conveyor 300.
[0079] In this embodiment, the conveying direction of the carrier 100 is set to rearward. The unloading line (testing production line) may also include a control system, which is electrically connected to the first cover opening device 1800, the first eyeglasses retrieval positioning mechanism 1900, the first empty carrier positioning mechanism 2000, the first eyeglasses retrieval device 2100, the second cover opening device 2300, the second eyeglasses retrieval positioning mechanism 2400, the second empty carrier positioning mechanism 2500, the second eyeglasses retrieval device 2600, and the empty carrier transfer device 2700. The configuration of the above-mentioned devices and mechanisms can refer to similar content in the above-described loading activation line, or the specific configuration in this embodiment can be obtained from the following content, or relevant content in the prior art can be referred to. The retrieval device can refer to the transfer device described above.
[0080] Reference Figure 10 , Figure 11 and Figure 13 In some embodiments of the present invention, the first cover opening device 1800 includes a first cover opening positioning mechanism 1810, a cover opening mechanism 1820, and a material unloading and flipping mechanism 1830; the first cover opening positioning mechanism 1810 is used to position the carrier 100 (carrier body 110) at the first cover opening station 1701; the carrier 100 includes the carrier body 110 and the carrier cover 120, one side of the carrier cover 120 is hinged to one side of the carrier body 110, and the other side of the carrier cover 120 is used to snap-fit with the other side of the carrier body 110; the cover opening mechanism 1820 is used to make the carrier cover 120 and the carrier body 110 no longer snap-fit (or no longer snap-fit connected), and the material unloading and flipping mechanism 1830 is used to drive the carrier cover 120 to flip to one side (front side) of the carrier body 110.
[0081] The first cover-opening positioning mechanism 1810, the unloading and flipping mechanism 1830, and the cover-opening mechanism 1820 are all electrically connected to the control system. By setting up the first cover-opening positioning mechanism 1810, the cover-opening mechanism 1820, and the unloading and flipping mechanism 1830, the carrier 100 can be positioned, opened, and flipped in an orderly and automatic manner at the cover-opening station, with a high degree of automation.
[0082] Reference Figure 10 , Figure 11 and Figure 15 In some embodiments of the present invention, the first cover-opening positioning mechanism 1810 includes a positioning lifting cylinder 2810, a positioning platform 2820, a positioning blocking cylinder 2830, a positioning blocking block 2840, a positioning sensor 2850, and a limiting component 2860; the positioning sensor 2850 is used to detect whether there is a carrier 100 above the positioning platform 2820 (or, to detect whether there is a carrier 100 in the first cover-opening station 1701); the upper end of the positioning platform 2820 is provided with a plurality of positioning posts 2821, and the upper end of the plurality of positioning posts 2821 is provided with a chamfered structure 2821a ( A positioning lifting cylinder 2810 is driven and connected to a positioning platform 2820. The positioning lifting cylinder 2810 is used to drive the positioning platform 2820 closer to and lift the carrier 100, and to insert the positioning pin 2821 into the positioning hole 116 of the carrier 100, thereby positioning the carrier 100. A positioning blocking cylinder 2830 is driven and connected to a positioning blocking block 2840. The positioning blocking cylinder 2830 is used to drive the positioning blocking block 2840 closer to and block the carrier 100. A limiting component 2860 is used to clamp the carrier 100 together with the positioning platform 2820.
[0083] The present invention is provided with various positioning mechanisms. Specifically, for example, the first type of positioning mechanism includes a positioning lifting cylinder 2810, a positioning platform 2820, and a positioning sensor 2850. The positioning sensor 2850 is used to detect whether there is a carrier 100 above the positioning platform 2820. The upper end of the positioning platform 2820 is provided with multiple positioning posts 2821, and the upper end of each of the multiple positioning posts 2821 is provided with a chamfered structure 2821a. The positioning lifting cylinder 2810 is connected to the positioning platform 2820. The positioning lifting cylinder 2810 is used to drive the positioning platform 2820 to approach and lift the carrier 100, and to make the positioning posts 2821 insert into the positioning holes 116 of the carrier 100, thereby making the positioning posts 2821 position the carrier 100.
[0084] The positioning sensor 2850 can be set on the base 3500 or the positioning platform 2820. In this embodiment, it is generally set on the base 3500 and located on the side or below the conveying device (for example, it is fixed on the same base 3500 frame as the positioning lifting cylinder 2810). The positioning sensor 2850 can refer to the cover opening sensor 430 and can be a photoelectric through-beam sensor (through-beam sensor), distance sensor, proximity switch sensor, etc. The positioning sensor 2850 is used to detect whether the carrier 100 is above the positioning platform 2820. On the one hand, in some embodiments, when the presence of the carrier 100 above the positioning platform 2820 is detected, the positioning platform 2820 and the carrier 100 need to be lifted in time. This not only removes the carrier 100 from contact and friction with the conveying device, but also facilitates the execution of other tasks. On the other hand, in some embodiments, the positioning sensor 2850 needs to determine whether the carrier 100 is above the positioning platform 2820. After determining that the carrier 100 above the positioning platform 2820 has been conveyed or transferred, the positioning mechanism is made available to continue receiving the conveyed or transferred carrier 100. The cylinders of the positioning lifting cylinder 2810, positioning blocking cylinder 2830, etc., can all be fixed on the base 3500. The chamfer structure 2821a can be a rounded corner structure or a beveled corner structure. With the chamfer structure 2821a set, when the positioning platform 2820 lifts the carrier 100 or receives the transferred carrier 100, even if there is a certain positional deviation of the carrier 100, the positioning post 2821 can be inserted into the positioning hole 116. Finally, as the positioning post 2821 goes deeper, the positional deviation of the carrier 100 can be corrected, the carrier 100 can be positioned in an accurate position, and the carrier 100 can maintain the set posture, so as to facilitate the accurate gripping of the transfer device's grippers.
[0085] Reference Figure 8The first type of positioning mechanism is generally used to receive the carrier 100 transferred by the transfer device at a fixed point and place the carrier 100 onto the conveying device. Since the first type of positioning mechanism does not need to block or lift the carrier 100 conveyed by the conveying device, it does not require a blocking cylinder or blocking block; simultaneously, when the carrier 100 is in the lifting state, the carrier 100 and the conveying device are no longer in contact, so blocking blocks are also unnecessary. The first type of positioning mechanism is mainly used for successful test positioning and failed test positioning on the testing line; the activation failure conveying positioning mechanism 710 on the material loading activation line can also be a first type of positioning mechanism. For a successful test positioning mechanism (activating a failed test positioning mechanism 710), since there are generally no other carriers 100 being transported from upstream (front end, input end) of its conveying device (unless multiple test lines of the same type are set up), its positioning platform 2820 can be kept in a raised state at all times to facilitate receiving carriers 100 transferred from the transfer device. For a failed test positioning mechanism, since there are generally other carriers 100 that have failed the test being transported from upstream of its conveying device, its positioning platform 2820 can be kept in a raised state at all times, and will be lowered to avoid other carriers 100 being transported. Alternatively, regardless of the type or specific positioning mechanism, its positioning platform 2820 can be kept in a lowered state at all times to avoid carriers 100 that may be transported, and will only be raised when it is necessary to carry or lift a carrier 100. All types of positioning mechanisms use a unified control logic to simplify the overall control program of the test pipeline. After the first positioning mechanism receives the carrier 100, when the sensors on the subsequent blocking mechanism 3000, other positioning mechanisms, or other components detect that there is no carrier 100 or that there is an empty space, the first positioning mechanism can lower the positioning platform 2820 and place the carrier 100 back onto the conveying device, so that the carrier 100 can be transported to the subsequent work station via the conveying device.
[0086] The second type of positioning mechanism, in addition to the components in the first type of positioning mechanism mentioned above, also includes a positioning blocking cylinder 2830 and a positioning blocking block 2840; the positioning blocking cylinder 2830 is connected to the positioning blocking block 2840 in a transmission manner, and the positioning blocking cylinder 2830 is used to drive the positioning blocking block 2840 to approach and block the carrier 100.
[0087] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 10 and Figure 11The second type of positioning mechanism needs to block and lift the carrier 100 conveyed by the conveyor. The positioning blocking block 2840, generally, is in the blocking position (or extended state) of the positioning mechanisms at various points on the test production line, preventing the carrier 100 from being conveyed by the conveyor. Only when the sensor at the workstation after the conveyor (or other positioning mechanism, blocking mechanism 3000) detects that there is no carrier 100 being blocked (or detects that there is no carrier 100 above the positioning table 2820, i.e., no carrier 100 at the workstation, the workstation position is empty), and the carrier 100 at this positioning mechanism has completed its processing (or the device or mechanism at this location has completed its work on the carrier 100), will the positioning blocking cylinder 2830 move the positioning blocking block 2840 away from the carrier 100 (or the positioning blocking block 2840 retracts), no longer blocking the conveying of the carrier 100. It should be understood that the blocking cylinder (blocking drive 3010) drives the positioning blocking block 2840 to block the carrier 100. This blocking can occur from the side of the conveying device, or from below or above the conveying device. The extension can be a translational extension, or a rotation that positions the longer portion of the positioning blocking block 2840 in the direction of the carrier 100's transport. The positioning platform 2820 of this type of positioning mechanism is normally in a lowered position and does not obstruct the transport of the carrier 100. When the carrier 100 is transported by the conveying device to a point where it is blocked by the positioning blocking block 2840, the positioning sensor 2850 detects the presence of the carrier 100 above the positioning platform 2820. The positioning lifting cylinder 2810 drives the positioning platform 2820 to lift the carrier 100, and the positioning pin 2821 is inserted into the positioning hole 116 of the carrier 100, thus fixing the carrier 100 in place. The second type of positioning mechanism can specifically be a positioning mechanism for testing on a testing line, a first activation failure positioning mechanism 1200 and a second activation failure positioning mechanism 1300 on a loading activation line, or a first empty carrier positioning mechanism 2000 and a second empty carrier positioning mechanism 2500 on a unloading line (or, in other words, all of the above positioning mechanisms are of the second type). Since the first and second types of positioning mechanisms generally require the carrier 100 to be picked up and put down by a transfer device, these two types of positioning mechanisms do not have limit components 2860 to avoid the limit components 2860 obstructing the picking up and putting down of the carrier 100.
[0088] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 11 and Figure 14Furthermore, in some embodiments, since the carrier 100 needs to insert the carrier plug 112 into the socket of the smart glasses 200, the flip-top closing positioning mechanism 510 further includes a carrier insertion cylinder 511 and a carrier insertion pressing block 512, based on the aforementioned flip-top closing positioning mechanism 510. The carrier body 110 is provided with a carrier plug 112 and a insertion slider 114, which is connected to the carrier plug 112 and slidably connected to the carrier body 110. The carrier insertion cylinder 511 is provided on the positioning platform 2820 and is connected to the carrier insertion pressing block 512. The carrier insertion cylinder 511 is used to drive the carrier insertion pressing block 512 closer to and push the insertion slider 114, so that the carrier plug 112 is inserted into the socket of the smart glasses 200.
[0089] With the above configuration, the flip-top closing and positioning mechanism 510 can also insert the carrier plug 112 into the socket of the smart glasses 200, facilitating subsequent power supply and data transmission to the smart glasses 200 via the carrier 100, thus facilitating subsequent activation, testing, and other tasks. Specifically, after the carrier body 110 and carrier cover 120 are securely connected and the smart glasses 200 is firmly fixed (after the cover is closed), the carrier insertion cylinder 511 drives the carrier insertion pressure block 512 to approach and push the insertion slider 114 to slide, causing the carrier plug 112 to slide together with the insertion slider 114, ultimately inserting the carrier plug 112 into the socket of the smart glasses 200.
[0090] The third type of positioning mechanism, in addition to the various components in the second type of positioning mechanism mentioned above, also includes a limiting component 2860; the limiting component 2860 is used to clamp the carrier 100 together with the positioning platform 2820.
[0091] At some workstations, additional force needs to be applied to the carrier 100 or the smart glasses 200 inside the carrier 100 during or after lifting. Therefore, to prevent the carrier 100 from moving, even detaching from the positioning post 2821, tilting, or falling during the application of force, a limiting component 2860 is required. This limiting component 2860 and the positioning platform 2820 together clamp the carrier 100, further positioning and fixing it to prevent movement under external force. The limiting component 2860 is connected to the base 3500. The specific structure and configuration of the limiting component 2860 can be selected according to the actual situation.
[0092] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 10 and Figure 11Specifically, the eyeglasses positioning mechanism 410 and the flip-top closing positioning mechanism 510 of the loading activation line, as well as the first opening positioning mechanism 1810, the second opening positioning mechanism, the first eyeglasses removal positioning mechanism 1900, and the second eyeglasses removal positioning mechanism 2400 of the unloading line, are all third-type positioning mechanisms. Their limiting components 2860 mainly include a limiting plate 2861, at least a portion of which is located above the conveying device where the positioning mechanism is located. The limiting plate 2861, together with the positioning table 2820, clamps the carrier 100. Since the aforementioned positioning mechanism (at its designated workstation) does not require picking up or placing the carrier 100, its limiting component 2860 can be set as a limiting plate 2861 fixed on the base 3500. Both the glasses-pressing positioning mechanism 410 and the glasses-retrieving positioning mechanism apply external force to the smart glasses 200. Therefore, this external force can be applied to the carrier 100 through the smart glasses 200, which may cause the carrier 100 to move during this process (for example, when retrieving the glasses, because the smart glasses 200 and the carrier 100 are tightly connected, the carrier 100 may be lifted up along with them). The flip-top / close-top positioning mechanism 510 and the open-top positioning mechanism directly apply force to the carrier cover 120 and the carrier body 110 during their flip-top, close-top, and open-top operations, which may also cause the carrier 100 to move during this process.
[0093] In the feeding and activation line, the first activation device 600 includes a first activation positioning mechanism and a first activation mechanism; the second activation device 1000 includes a second activation positioning mechanism and a second activation mechanism. Both the first and second activation mechanisms include an activation plug 610 and an activation module. The activation plug 610 and the activation module are electrically connected. Both the activation plug 610 and the activation module are mounted on the positioning mechanism (positioning platform 2820). The lower end of the carrier 100 (carrier body 110) is provided with a carrier interface 113. The positioning mechanism can drive the activation plug 610 to be inserted into the carrier interface 113 (the positioning lifting cylinder 2810 drives the positioning platform 2820 and the activation mechanism on it to move upward together, thereby allowing the activation plug 610 to be inserted into the carrier interface 113). The activation module and the control system are electrically connected.
[0094] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5The first and second activation positioning mechanisms of the material feeding activation line have two aspects. On the one hand, when the activation plug 610 is inserted into the carrier interface 113, it exerts a certain additional external force on the carrier 100, and the insertion also requires the carrier 100 to be fixed firmly and not move at will to avoid poor insertion. Therefore, a limiting component 2860 is required to clamp and fix the carrier 100. On the other hand, since the activation transfer device 1100 needs to transfer the carrier 100 at the first activation station 303 and the second activation station 901, a fixed limiting plate 2861 cannot be set to avoid the limiting plate 2861 from obstructing the activation transfer device 1100 from taking the carrier 100 and the positioning mechanism from receiving the carrier 100. Therefore, both the first and second activated positioning mechanisms are third-class positioning mechanisms. Their limiting components 2860 include a limiting drive 2862 and a limiting block 2863. The limiting drive 2862 is connected to the limiting block 2863. The limiting drive 2862 is used to drive the limiting block 2863 to move above the conveying device where the positioning mechanism is located, so as to clamp the carrier 100 together with the positioning table 2820. Specifically, in this embodiment, the limiting drive component 2862 is a rotary locking cylinder. The rotary locking cylinder can rotate the limiting block 2863 to the top of the conveying device during the lifting operation, so that the limiting block 2863 can abut against and clamp the carrier 100. In normal operation, especially when the transfer device picks up and puts down the carrier 100, the rotary locking cylinder can rotate the limiting block 2863 to the side of the conveying device, so as not to obstruct the transfer device from picking up and putting down the carrier 100. Since the rotary locking cylinder has a certain downward driving capability, it can actively abut against and press down the carrier 100 after lifting, so that while clamping and fixing the carrier 100, it can help the activation plug 610 to be better inserted into the carrier interface 113. The limiting component 2860 can also be in other forms, such as using a common cylinder to move the blocking block into the top of the conveying device. It should be understood that in this embodiment, the limiting plate 2861, the limiting block 2863, etc., all abut against the upper surface of the base plate of the vehicle 100 of the vehicle body 110, while the positioning platform 2820 abuts against the lower surface of the base plate of the vehicle 100, thereby jointly clamping and fixing the base plate of the vehicle 100, and clamping and fixing the entire vehicle 100 by clamping the base plate of the vehicle 100; in other embodiments, the limiting component 2860 can also clamp and fix the vehicle 100 by abutting against other parts of the vehicle 100.
[0095] By setting up a positioning mechanism, firstly, it can accurately locate the position of the carrier 100 or precisely position and receive the carrier 100, thereby making the picking and placing of the carrier 100 more accurate and stable, and simplifying the control process and program settings; secondly, it can lift the carrier 100, separating the carrier 100 from the conveyor device (synchronous belt), especially when the carrier 100 is blocked or temporarily stored, preventing continuous friction between the carrier 100 and the conveyor device when stationary; thirdly, it facilitates the picking and placing of the carrier 100 by the transfer device, raising the picking and placing position of the carrier 100 and preventing the transfer of the carrier 100 during picking and placing. Fourth, the conveying device is generally continuously operating. When the transfer device places the carrier 100 directly onto the conveying device, the carrier 100 will move with the conveying device. This makes it easy for the carrier 100 to collide with the transfer device (gripper) after it is placed. Furthermore, when the transfer device (gripper) places the carrier 100 and rises, it is also easy to touch or even hook the carrier 100, which may cause the carrier 100 to be tilted or even directly pulled out of the conveying device. Therefore, by setting a positioning mechanism to support the carrier 100, the above problems can be avoided.
[0096] Reference Figure 11 and Figure 13 In some embodiments of the present invention, the cover opening mechanism 1820 includes a cover opening lifting cylinder 1821, a cover opening mounting plate 1822, a cover opening latch cylinder 1823, and a cover opening latch pressure block 1824. The cover opening lifting cylinder 1821 is operatively connected to the cover opening mounting plate 1822. A first latch protrusion 121 is provided on the other side of the vehicle cover 120, and a latch movable block 111 is provided on the other side of the vehicle body 110. The middle part of the latch movable block 111 is rotatably connected to the vehicle body 110, and the upper end of the latch movable block 111 is provided with... A second latching protrusion 111a is provided, and a latching elastic element is provided inside the vehicle body 110. One end of the latching elastic element is used to abut the lower end of the latching movable block 111, and the other end of the latching elastic element is used to abut the vehicle body 110. The cover-opening latching cylinder 1823 (cylinder) is provided on the cover-opening mounting plate 1822. The cover-opening latching cylinder 1823 (piston rod) is connected to the cover-opening latching pressure block 1824. The cover-opening latching cylinder 1823 is used to drive the cover-opening latching pressure block 1824 to approach and abut the lower end of the latching movable block 111.
[0097] The cylinder of the cover-opening lifting cylinder 1821 is fixed on the base 3500. The control system is electrically connected to the cover-opening lifting cylinder 1821 and the cover-opening latch cylinder 1823. The cover-opening lifting cylinder 1821 is used to drive the cover-opening mounting plate 1822 to rise and fall, thereby performing the cover-opening action, and then resetting to avoid obstruction after completion, facilitating the transport of the carrier 100; the cover-opening latch cylinder 1823 is used to open the latching structure of the carrier 100, so that the carrier cover 120 can be flipped relative to the carrier body 110, facilitating the opening of the carrier cover 120. The latching elastic element can be a spring, disc spring, elastic plastic part, elastic sheet, etc.
[0098] In this embodiment, during the actual opening operation; after the carrier 100 is transported to the first opening station 1701, the carrier 100 is positioned at the first opening station 1701 by the first opening positioning mechanism 1810; the opening lifting cylinder 1821 moves the opening mounting plate 1822 and its components downwards, causing the opening latching block 1824 to move to align with the lower end of the latching movable block 111; the opening latching cylinder 1823 moves the opening latching block 1824 close to and abuts against the lower end of the latching movable block 111, and the opening latching block 1824 presses down on the latching movable block 111. The lower end of the moving block 111 causes the latching movable block 111 to rotate against the elastic force of the latching elastic element. The second latching protrusion 111a at the upper end of the latching movable block 111 moves away from the carrier body 110. The second latching protrusion 111a is no longer located above the first latching protrusion 121. The second latching protrusion 111a can no longer obstruct the first latching protrusion 121 from moving upward. That is, the carrier cover 120 can rotate relative to the carrier body 110. The cover opening mechanism 1820 has completed the cover opening work, which facilitates the subsequent material unloading and cover opening work of the material unloading and cover opening mechanism 1830.
[0099] Reference Figure 11 and Figure 13 Furthermore, the cover opening mechanism 1820 also includes a plug-out cylinder 1825 and a plug-out pressure block 1826. The plug-out cylinder 1825 is mounted on the cover opening mounting plate 1822, and the plug-out cylinder 1825 is connected to the plug-out pressure block 1826. The carrier body 110 is provided with a carrier plug 112, a plug-in slider 114, and an unlock button 115. The plug-in slider 114 is connected to the carrier plug 112 and is slidably connected to the carrier body 110. The unlock button 115 is connected to the plug-in slider 114. The plug-in slider 114 is used to drive the carrier plug 112 into the socket of the smart glasses 200. The plug-out cylinder 1825 is used to drive the plug-out pressure block 1826 to approach and press the unlock button 115, so that the carrier plug 112 is pulled out from the socket of the smart glasses 200.
[0100] During the opening process, after the opening mounting plate 1822 moves down to the predetermined position, the plug-out cylinder 1825 drives the plug-out pressure block 1826 to approach and press the unlock button 115, causing the vehicle plug 112 to be pulled out of the smart glasses 200's socket. Specifically, a reset elastic element is provided inside the vehicle body 110. One end of the reset elastic element abuts against the plug-in slider 114, and the other end abuts against the vehicle body 110. A locking rod is provided below the unlock button 115. The locking rod locks the plug-in slider 114 and prevents the plug-in slider 114 from sliding. When the unlock button 115 is pressed, the locking rod no longer locks the plug-in slider 114, and the plug-in slider 114 slides under the action of the reset elastic element and is pulled out of the smart glasses 200's socket.
[0101] Reference Figure 10 and Figure 11 In some embodiments of the present invention, the unloading and flipping mechanism 1830 includes an unloading and flipping motor 1831, an unloading and flipping rotating arm 1832, an unloading and flipping cylinder 1833, and an unloading and flipping gripper 1834. The unloading and flipping motor 1831 is driven to rotate the unloading and flipping rotating arm 1832. The unloading and flipping motor 1831 is used to drive the unloading and flipping rotating arm 1832 to rotate. The unloading and flipping cylinder 1833 is disposed on the unloading and flipping rotating arm 1832. The unloading and flipping cylinder 1833 is driven to move the unloading and flipping gripper 1834 closer to or away from the carrier cover 120.
[0102] In this embodiment, during the actual unloading and flipping operation, initially, the unloading and flipping mechanism 1830 is in its original position, allowing the unloading and flipping gripper 1834 to avoid the space for the carrier 100 to move. After the opening operation is completed, the unloading and flipping cylinder 1833 drives the unloading and flipping gripper 1834 to approach the carrier cover 120, so that a portion of the carrier cover 120 is in the unloading and flipping gripper 1834. The unloading and flipping motor 1831 drives the unloading and flipping rotating arm 1832 to rotate, thereby driving the unloading and flipping cylinder 1833 on the unloading and flipping rotating arm 1832 and the unloading and flipping gripper 1834 connected to the unloading and flipping cylinder 1833 to rotate. 834. The carrier cover 120 in the unloading flip-top gripper 1834 rotates (or rotates, flips) together, causing the carrier cover 120 to rotate from above the carrier body 110 to the front of the carrier body 110, thus completing the unloading flip-top operation; then the unloading flip-top cylinder 1833 drives the unloading flip-top gripper 1834 away from the carrier cover 120 (the carrier cover 120 is no longer in the unloading flip-top gripper 1834), and the unloading flip-top motor 1831 drives the unloading flip-top rotating arm 1832 to rotate in the opposite direction to perform a reset operation, preventing obstruction of subsequent opening operations, and also preparing for the unloading flip-top operation of the subsequent carrier 100. The unloading flip-top motor 1831 and the unloading flip-top cylinder 1833 are both electrically connected to the control system. It should be understood that the second opening device 2300 also includes a second opening positioning mechanism, an opening mechanism 1820, and a material feeding and flipping mechanism 1830; the components of the second opening device 2300 and the first opening device 1800 are the same, so they will not be described again here.
[0103] The unloading line may also include a qualified glasses storage device 3300, which receives the tested and qualified smart glasses 200 taken out by the first glasses picking device 2100. The unloading line may also include a defective glasses storage device 3400, which receives the tested and defective smart glasses 200 taken out by the second glasses picking device 2600. The defective glasses storage device 3400 has multiple storage compartments for storing the tested and defective smart glasses 200 separately. The tested and defective smart glasses 200 are stored in their corresponding compartments in a predetermined order. Finally, based on the specific location of the tested and defective smart glasses 200 in the storage compartment, the specific defective item of the tested and defective smart glasses 200 can be determined. Subsequent analysis and research on the tested and defective smart glasses 200 can then be conducted to facilitate adjustments and improvements to the corresponding production equipment and processes.
[0104] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present invention, the automated testing line for smart glasses includes: the aforementioned loading and activation line; a first testing line 3100 for receiving a carrier 100 (which may include a failed carrier 100) delivered by the loading and activation line, and the first testing line 3100 is also used to test the first performance of the smart glasses 200.
[0105] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 9 In some embodiments of the present invention, the automated testing line for smart glasses includes: a loading activation line for activating smart glasses 200 within a carrier 100; a first testing line 3100 for testing a first performance characteristic of the smart glasses 200; and the aforementioned unloading line. The automated testing line for smart glasses is also referred to as a testing line or simply a production line.
[0106] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8In some embodiments of the present invention, the first test line 3100 includes a first test initiation conveying device 3110, a first test success conveying device 3120, a first test failure conveying device 3130, a first test initiation positioning mechanism 3140, a first test success positioning mechanism 3150, a first test failure positioning mechanism 3160, a first test transfer device 3170, and a first test device 3180; the first test initiation conveying device 3110 is used to receive and convey the carrier 100 sent out (conveyed out) by the first activation conveying device 300. The first test conveying device 3110 is equipped with a first test station, and a first test positioning mechanism 3140 is installed on the first test station. The first test positioning mechanism 3140 is used to position the carrier 100 at the first test station. The first test transfer device 3170 is used to transfer the carrier 100, which is positioned and fixed by the first test positioning mechanism 3140, to the first test equipment 3180. The first test equipment 3180 is used to test the first performance of the smart glasses 200 inside the carrier 100. 170 is also used to transfer the tested and qualified carrier 100 (including the tested and qualified smart glasses 200) from the first testing equipment 3180 to the first test success positioning mechanism 3150; the first test success conveying device 3120 is provided with a first test success station, and the first test success positioning mechanism 3150 is provided at the first test success station. The first test success positioning mechanism 3150 is used to receive the tested and qualified carrier 100 and place the tested and qualified carrier 100 onto the first test success conveying device 3120; the first test transfer The device 3170 is also used to transfer the unqualified carrier 100 (including the unqualified smart glasses 200) from the first testing equipment 3180 to the first test failure positioning mechanism 3160; the first test failure conveying device 3130 is provided with a first test failure station, and the first test failure positioning mechanism 3160 is provided at the first test failure station. The first test failure positioning mechanism 3160 is used to receive the unqualified carrier 100 and place the unqualified carrier 100 on the first test failure conveying device 3130.
[0107] Referring to the above, all three conveying devices are equipped with positioning mechanisms for positioning and fixing the carrier 100, enabling the test transfer device to pick up and place the carrier 100 at fixed points. The test transfer device itself does not require additional visual positioning, which facilitates program setting and precise picking and placing, and also simplifies the control process. Specifically, the test transfer device generally includes a multi-joint robotic arm, a rotating base, and multiple picking and placing mechanisms. The multiple picking and placing mechanisms are all fixed on the rotating base, which is rotatably connected to the end of the multi-joint robotic arm. The multi-joint robotic arm and rotating base are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here. The picking and placing mechanisms can refer to the 'failed activation finger cylinder' and 'failed activation gripper' mentioned above. The control system is electrically connected to the first test positioning mechanism 3140, the first test success positioning mechanism 3150, the first test failure positioning mechanism 3160, the first test transfer device 3170, and the first test equipment 3180. It should be understood that, in some specific embodiments, the test success conveying device and the test failure conveying device of the test line may not be equipped with a positioning mechanism to receive the carrier 100. Instead, the transfer device directly places the tested carrier 100 onto the conveying device.
[0108] The test line is equipped with a first test initiation conveyor 3110, a first test success conveyor 3120, and a first test failure conveyor 3130. Compared with the conventional two conveyor lines, by setting up three conveyor devices, it is possible to facilitate the modular expansion and addition of the same test line (multiple test lines of the same type are laid out in sequence, and the same type of test lines test the same performance of the smart glasses 200). Specifically, a conventional test line typically only has a test initiation conveyor and a test failure conveyor. The front end of the test initiation conveyor receives the carrier 100 to be tested, and the rear end receives and places the carrier 100 that has passed the test. The test failure conveyor is used to receive and place the carrier 100 that has failed the test. Therefore, this conventional test line is not easily expandable. More specifically, when multiple test lines of the same type are deployed sequentially (or when multiple test lines are set up for the same test module), the subsequent test initiation conveyor will receive the carrier 100 that has passed the test from the previous test initiation conveyor, while the test initiation conveyor will continuously receive new carriers 100 to be tested, which can easily cause program chaos. By setting up... When three conveying devices are sequentially deployed on the same type of test line, the conveying device for testing in the previous test line connects with the conveying device for testing in the next test line, the conveying device for successful testing in the previous test line connects with the conveying device for successful testing in the next test line, and the conveying device for failed testing in the previous test line connects with the conveying device for failed testing in the next test line. Therefore, the conveying device for testing in the next test line will not receive the tested and qualified carrier 100 from the conveying device for testing in the previous test line. The carrier 100 to be tested, the carrier 100 that has passed the test, and the carrier 100 that has failed the test all have their own independent flow channels and will not affect each other. This simplifies the control procedures and control flow, and makes the entire testing process more accurate and stable.
[0109] Furthermore, blocking stations can be set on each conveying device of each test line. Each blocking station is equipped with a blocking mechanism 3000, which includes a blocking drive 3010, a blocking block 3020, and a blocking sensor 3030. The blocking drive 3010 is connected to the blocking block 3020, and the blocking sensor 3030 is used to detect whether the blocking block 3020 is blocking the carrier 100 (or, in other words, the blocking sensor 3030 is used to detect whether the carrier 100 is present at the blocking station). Specifically, blocking mechanisms 3000 can generally be set at the front end (input end, first end) of the test conveying device, the rear end (output end, tail end, last end) of the successfully tested conveying device, and most positions (or any position after avoiding the positioning mechanism) of the failed test conveying device. These areas are the flow areas for the carrier 100. With this setup, the carrier 100 can be temporarily blocked and stored on the conveying device. Only when sensors at subsequent mechanisms or devices detect an empty space will the blocking mechanism 3000 release the carrier 100. The blocking drive component 3010 can be a motor or a cylinder; the blocking sensor 3030 can refer to the aforementioned cover opening sensor 430, and can be a photoelectric sensor, distance sensor, proximity switch sensor, etc. Furthermore, other positioning mechanisms can also be set on each conveying device of each test line, so as to lift the carrier 100 and prevent the carrier 100 from rubbing against the conveying device when temporarily stored; that is, the blocking mechanism 3000 can also be a second type of positioning mechanism.
[0110] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 In some embodiments of the present invention, the first test line 3100 further includes a first test failure temporary storage mechanism 3190, and at least two first test devices 3180 are provided; the first test failure temporary storage mechanism 3190 is used to receive the carrier 100 that fails the first test as obtained by one of the first test devices 3180; the first test transfer device 3170 is also used to transfer the carrier 100 that fails the first test to another first test device 3180 for a second test.
[0111] Through the above setup, the smart glasses 200 inside the vehicle 100 can be tested a second time to prevent inaccurate test results and avoid mistakenly testing (detecting) a normal smart glasses 200 as a defective one. Furthermore, by using two different testing devices, testing errors caused by incompatibility between the testing devices and the vehicle 100 can be minimized. For example, if the first testing device is not compatible with the positioning of a certain vehicle 100, resulting in poor contact after the vehicle 100 is plugged in, switching to the second testing device allows the vehicle 100 to be repositioned and made contact with a different testing device. Since each testing device is not exactly the same, the positioning structure and connectors of the second testing device may also have slight differences from the first testing device, which may avoid the aforementioned problem of poor contact after plugging in, allowing the vehicle 100 (smart glasses 200) to be tested normally.
[0112] Because the number of failed test vehicles 100 (smart glasses 200) is relatively small, the number of first test failure temporary storage mechanisms 3190 is also small, generally only one or two. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the test transfer device can directly transfer the first test failure vehicle 100 to another test device for testing. Only when all other test devices are full and there are no available test slots will the first test failure vehicle 100 be temporarily stored in the test failure temporary storage mechanism (test failure temporary storage platform). Only when all other test devices are available will the first test failure vehicle 100 on the test failure temporary storage mechanism (test failure temporary storage platform) be transferred to another available test device for a second test. Specifically, the first test failure temporary storage mechanism 3190 includes a first test failure temporary storage platform, which is equipped with multiple first test positioning posts (similar to the positioning platform 2820). The first test positioning posts are used to position and limit the vehicle 100. It is important to understand that the setup of multiple primary test devices 3180 not only enables the aforementioned secondary testing function but can also be used for routine testing of multiple carriers 100 (smart glasses 200). The temporary storage mechanism for test failures (temporary storage platform for test failures) is generally located above the conveying device and functions similarly to the positioning mechanism that lifts the carrier 100, facilitating the placement and removal of the transfer device.
[0113] The testing equipment, specific tests, and performance characteristics can be determined based on the actual situation, and can also refer to existing technologies, such as common charge and discharge testing equipment, radio frequency testing equipment (RF testing equipment), and acoustic testing equipment.
[0114] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 8 and Figure 10In some embodiments of the present invention, the automated testing line for smart glasses further includes a return line 2900, which is used to transport the carrier 100 on the first unloading conveyor 1700 (end, rear, output section) to the loading activation line (first activation conveyor 300).
[0115] The return line 2900 is set up to facilitate the recycling of vehicle 100.
[0116] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 8 and Figure 10 In some embodiments of the present invention, the return line 2900 includes a return conveying device 2910 and a plurality of blocking mechanisms 3000. The blocking mechanism 3000 includes a blocking drive 3010, a blocking block 3020 and a blocking sensor 3030. The blocking drive 3010 is connected to the blocking block 3020. The blocking sensor 3030 is used to detect whether the blocking block 3020 blocks the carrier 100 (or, the return conveying device 2910 is provided with a plurality of blocking stations, each blocking station is provided with a corresponding blocking mechanism 3000, and the blocking sensor 3030 is used to detect whether the carrier 100 is present at the blocking station).
[0117] In this embodiment, the direction of the conveyor 100 of the return line 2900 (return conveyor device 2910) is from back to front. The blocking drive 3010 and the blocking sensor 3030 can both be fixed on the base 3500 and are both electrically connected to the control system. This setup ensures the orderly return transport of the carrier 100. Specifically, the return line 2900 only transports an empty carrier 100 to the loading activation line when the initial station (eyeglass pressing station 301) of the loading activation line is vacant. This means the foremost blocking block 3020 no longer obstructs the transport of the carrier 100. After the carrier 100 has been transported away, the blocking sensor 3030 of the blocking mechanism 3000 detects that the blocking block 3020 is no longer obstructing the carrier 100. Then, the blocking drive 3010 of the next blocking mechanism 3000 drives the blocking block 3020 to stop obstructing the carrier 100, allowing the carrier 100 at the next blocking mechanism 3000 to be transported to the previous blocking mechanism 3000 via the return line 2900. Subsequent blocking mechanisms 3000 operate in the same manner, gradually transporting the carrier 100 forward (one station forward), thus ensuring the orderly return transport of the carrier 100.
[0118] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 9In some embodiments of the present invention, both the loading activation line and the unloading line include a carrier lifting device 1400, which is used to receive and transport the carrier 100 and to drive the carrier 100 to lift. The return conveying device 2910 is disposed below the loading activation line, the first test line 3100 and the unloading line.
[0119] Through the above setup, the space of the testing production line can be fully utilized, making the overall testing production line more compact and reducing the overall space occupied by the testing production line. Specifically, a carrier lifting device 1400 is set at the end (rear end) of the unloading line. The unloading line (first unloading conveyor 1700) transports the carrier 100 to the carrier lifting device 1400 (on the conveyor). The carrier lifting device 1400 drives the carrier 100 to descend, so that the conveyor inside the carrier lifting device 1400 and the return conveyor 2910 are connected, thereby transporting the carrier 100 to the return conveyor 2910. Then, the return conveyor 2910 transports the carrier 100 to the carrier lifting device 1400 set at the beginning (front end) of the loading activation line. The carrier lifting device 1400 drives the carrier 100 to rise, so that the conveyor inside the carrier lifting device 1400 and the conveyor of the loading activation line (first activation conveyor 300) are connected, thereby transporting the carrier 100 to the loading activation line.
[0120] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 7 In some embodiments of the present invention, the automated testing line for smart glasses further includes a second testing line 3200, which is used to receive carriers 100 (including qualified carriers 100 and unqualified carriers 100) conveyed from the first testing line 3100. The second testing line 3200 is also used to test the second performance of the smart glasses 200. The unloading line is used to receive qualified carriers 100 (or carriers 100 containing qualified smart glasses 200) and unqualified carriers 100 (or carriers 100 containing unqualified smart glasses 200) conveyed from the second testing line 3200 (actually the last testing line).
[0121] The second testing line 3200 can be compared with the first testing line 3100. Specifically, the second testing line 3200 includes a second testing conveying device, a second successful testing conveying device, a second failed testing conveying device, a second testing positioning mechanism, a second successful testing positioning mechanism, a second failed testing positioning mechanism, a second testing transfer device, and a second testing device. The second testing conveying device is used to receive and convey the carrier 100 sent out (transported out) by the first successful testing conveying device 3120, and the second failed testing conveying device is used to receive and convey the carrier 100 sent out (transported out) by the first failed testing conveying device 3130. The second testing conveying device is provided with a second testing station, and the second testing positioning mechanism is provided on the second testing station. The second testing positioning mechanism is used to position the carrier 100 at the second testing station. The second testing transfer device is used to transfer the carrier 100, which is positioned and fixed by the second testing positioning mechanism, to the second testing device. The second testing device is used to test the smart glasses 20 inside the carrier 100. The second test transfer device is also used to transfer the tested and qualified carrier 100 (including the tested and qualified smart glasses 200) from the second test equipment to the second test success positioning mechanism; the second test success conveying device is provided with a second test success station, and the second test success positioning mechanism is provided at the second test success station. The second test success positioning mechanism is used to receive the tested and qualified carrier 100 and place the tested and qualified carrier 100 on the second test success conveying device; the second test transfer device is also used to transfer the tested and unqualified carrier 100 (including the tested and unqualified smart glasses 200) from the second test equipment to the second test failure positioning mechanism; the second test failure conveying device is provided with a second test failure station, and the second test failure positioning mechanism is provided at the second test failure station. The second test failure positioning mechanism is used to receive the tested and unqualified carrier 100 and place the tested and unqualified carrier 100 on the second test failure conveying device.
[0122] As described above, for two adjacent test lines of different types, since the test conveying device of the latter test line receives the qualified test carrier 100 conveyed by the test success conveying device of the former test line, the positions of the test conveying devices and test success conveying devices of multiple different types of test lines are constantly changing when they are laid out sequentially. When multiple test conveying devices (or test success conveying devices) are connected on the entire test production line, they roughly form a constantly changing, undulating serpentine line (parapet line). In this embodiment, the test conveying devices (test success conveying devices) of multiple test lines constantly change position between the middle and one side (of the left and right sides), while the test failure conveying device is always located on the other side (of the left and right sides). The control system is electrically connected to the second test positioning mechanism, the second test success positioning mechanism, the second test failure positioning mechanism, the second test transfer device, and the second test equipment.
[0123] The automated testing line for smart glasses can also include a third testing line, a fourth testing line, a fifth testing line, and so on. The specific number of testing lines (or the number of testing items for the smart glasses 200) can be set according to the actual situation. The final testing line is connected to the unloading line.
[0124] It is important to understand that the automated testing line (material unloading line) for smart glasses also includes a base 3500. All stationary components in this invention can be fixed to the base 3500. For example, the cylinder of the pressure-and-avoidance cylinder 421 for glasses can be fixed to the base 3500. The base 3500 is the basic carrier for installing and fixing the line and its components. It is a conceptual object and can be any object, such as metal platforms, stone platforms, wooden tables, brackets, support plates, support frames, machine frames, bearing seats, mounting plates, reinforcing ribs, hooks, the ground, ceilings, etc., combining or reusing one or more components to provide fixation and support.
[0125] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
