[0024] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0026] A feeding mechanism installation position 6 is provided on the frame at the front side of the product processing and placing mechanism 2, and a feeding mechanism 7 is detachably installed on the feeding mechanism installation position 6;

[0027] The frame 1 is provided with a lower camera 8, the lens of the lower camera 8 is arranged upward, and the lower camera is arranged beside the feeding mechanism 7;

[0028] A support frame 9 is also provided on the frame on the left side of the robot installation position 3, and a transverse slide rail 10 is provided on the support frame 9. The left end of the transverse slide rail 10 is arranged on the left side outside of the frame. The transverse slide rail is arranged parallel to the product processing and placement mechanism. A transfer robot 11 is movably installed on the transverse slide rail 10.

[0029] In this embodiment, in actual use, each module is used for the assembly of a process of the product. When assembling 3C equipment, it is mainly used for the assembly of the back cover or bottom plate of the notebook. Taking the assembly of the back cover of the notebook as an example, there are multiple assembly steps, and each step is assembled with a module. Therefore, multiple modules are arranged together in rows from left to right. According to different processes, a corresponding feeding mechanism is installed on the mounting position of the feeder mechanism on the corresponding rack to provide the parts required for assembly of the corresponding process. According to the process, a corresponding manipulator is installed on the manipulator mounting position. The manipulator grabs the parts on the feeding mechanism and assembles them on the product. The product will be placed on the product processing placement mechanism, and the rack will have a controller. The controller is electrically connected to the product processing placement mechanism, the manipulator, the feeding mechanism, the industrial camera, and the transfer manipulator to control the operation of these mechanisms. Among them, during actual use, the product is placed on the product processing placement mechanism, the feeding mechanism feeds the material, the gripping part of the manipulator moves to the top of the feeding mechanism, and the industrial camera takes pictures of the material on the feeding mechanism in advance, so that the controller determines the position of the parts and controls the manipulator to grab the parts, and then moves the parts to the top of the lower camera. The lower camera takes pictures of the bottom of the product, so that the controller can determine the angle of the parts, and then move the parts to the top of the product, and the industrial camera takes pictures of the product, so that the position, angle, and required assembly position of the product can be accurately determined, and then the manipulator adjusts the angle of the parts to make it correspond to the required assembly position, and then use the manipulator to grab the parts and assemble them on the product, so that the parts can be smoothly and accurately assembled to the required assembly position of the product. After assembly is completed, the robot moves away from the product, and the transfer robot moves to just above the product. The transfer robot grabs the product and separates it from the product processing and placement mechanism, and then moves the grabbed product to the left along the horizontal slide rail on the support frame, where the left side of the support frame will be set above the rack of the next process. In this way, the transfer robot grabs the product and moves it above the next rack, and then places the product on the product processing and placement mechanism on the side, realizing the transfer between product processes without manual intervention, with high efficiency and good quality.

[0030] Among them, in this embodiment, the same product is processed, so the racks used in the entire 3C equipment assembly production line are the same. According to different processes, different manipulators and feeding mechanisms can be installed on the racks of different processes. In this way, the racks can be of uniform size, which can reduce the cost of the equipment. When repairing and replacing, the purchased parts are also corresponding standard parts, and the cost is also lower. At the same time, all racks are the same, so all racks can be assembled quickly and modularly, with high production efficiency and relatively low cost, and no wrong parts will be used, and the modular production cost is also low.

[0031] Among them, in this embodiment, the manipulator adopts a three-axis manipulator or a five-axis manipulator, and the end of the manipulator will have a grasping mechanism for grasping the required assembly parts, and the industrial camera will be installed on the side wall of the grasping mechanism.

[0032] See also Figure 1 , 3 As shown, a groove 12 is provided at the front end and the rear end of the left side of the frame 1, and a convex block 13 is provided at the front end and the right end of the right side of the frame, and the shape of the convex block matches the shape of the groove;

[0033] The front-side protrusion and the front-side groove are arranged on the same plane, and the rear-side protrusion and the rear-side groove are arranged on the same plane.

[0034] In this embodiment, the protrusions of the frame will match the grooves of the adjacent frames, so that adjacent frames contact each other. The protrusions are inserted into the grooves of the adjacent frames, which can ensure that adjacent modules are close to each other and arranged in rows. When the transfer robot grabs the material for transfer, it can grab the product on the product processing and placement mechanism on one module and transfer it to the product processing and placement mechanism on the adjacent module to achieve product transfer. In addition, this can ensure that the entire production line is neatly arranged and can effectively shorten the debugging time.

[0035] See also Figure 1 , 3 As shown, the front and rear ends of the frame are respectively provided with a screw hole 14, and each screw hole is connected to one of the grooves;

[0036] A positioning hole 15 is respectively provided on the two protrusions.

[0037] By setting the screw holes and positioning holes, the limit bolts 16 are screwed in the screw holes, so that the racks of adjacent modules are in contact. After the protrusions and grooves are plugged in and matched, in order to prevent the adjacent racks from shifting due to the vibration during the operation of the equipment, the limit bolts are rotated and inserted into the positioning holes of the protrusions, so that the protrusions and grooves are locked and limited. In this way, the adjacent racks can be fixed, which can prevent the displacement and micro-shift of the racks caused by vibration, thereby ensuring the accuracy and stability of the product during transfer, and ensuring the assembly quality and efficiency of the product.

[0038] Among them, the feeding mechanism is a vibrating loading tray, a label feeding rack or a feeding rack. The vibrating loading tray is used for sorting and feeding parts. Different processes require different parts. Therefore, the feeding mechanism of the corresponding process adopts the corresponding vibrating loading tray, and some processes require labels, so label feeding homes are used in the corresponding processes. Of course, the label feeding rack can also provide tapes, etc. According to the actual process, just put in the materials required for the corresponding assembly. The feeding rack is directly used for some materials that can be quickly placed. In the utility model, the feeding mechanism can be selected according to the actual situation, which is a conventional feeding mechanism in the prior art. In this embodiment, the feeding mechanism is a feeding rack.

[0039] Wherein, the product processing and placing mechanism 2 comprises a first transverse slide rail 17, a first driving mechanism and a product placing tray 18 (the first driving mechanism is not shown in the figure);

[0040] The first transverse slide rail is arranged parallel to the first transverse slide rail, the product placement tray is movably installed on the first transverse slide rail, and the first driving mechanism drives the product placement tray to move transversely along the first transverse slide rail.

[0041] The first driving mechanism includes a motor and a transverse ball screw, the motor is installed on the frame, the transverse ball screw is arranged in parallel below the transverse slide rail, both ends of the transverse ball screw are rotatably connected to the frame, the motor output shaft is connected to one end of the transverse ball screw, the bottom of the product placement plate is slidably connected to the first transverse slide rail via a slider, the bottom of the slider is rotatably connected to the transverse ball screw, the product placement plate is installed on the top of the slider, and when the transverse ball screw rotates, the slider is driven to move laterally along the first transverse slide rail.

[0042] In this embodiment, the frame has a certain length, and the two sides of the manipulator need to give way to the transfer manipulator. If only one product discharge tray is set, it can only meet the requirements of loading or unloading, but not both. Therefore, the product placement tray moves on the first transverse slide rail and is driven by the first drive mechanism to move along the first transverse slide rail. When loading, the product placement tray moves to the right side of the first transverse slide rail, so that the transfer manipulator on the right module grabs the product and puts it in the product placement tray, and then the product placement tray drives the product to the middle of the frame. In this way, the range of work required by the manipulator is small, and the assembly efficiency of the product will be higher. After the assembly is completed, the product discharge tray drives the product to move to the left, and then the transfer manipulator on the frame grabs the product assembled in this process, and then moves to the left along the transverse slide rail on the support frame, transfers it to the module on the left, and puts the product on the product discharge tray of the next process, and so on.

[0043] See also Figure 1 , 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the transfer robot 11 includes a bracket 19 and a plurality of suction cups 20 arranged on the bottom surface of the bracket 19. The side of the bracket is slidably set on a horizontal slide rail via a mounting frame 21. A vertical cylinder 22 is provided on the mounting frame. The bracket slides vertically on the mounting frame. The vertical cylinder is connected to the bracket, and the bracket is driven to move up and down by the vertical cylinder. A horizontal cylinder is provided on the support frame (the horizontal cylinder is not shown in the figure), and the horizontal cylinder pushes the mounting frame to move horizontally along the horizontal slide rail, thereby driving the bracket and the suction cup to move left and right.

[0044] Among them, when the mounting frame moves to the right side of the transverse slide rail, the bracket and the suction cup will be directly above the first transverse slide rail. In this way, when the product discharge tray moves to the left side of the first transverse slide rail, the vertical cylinder output shaft extends to drive the bracket and the suction cup to move downward, and the suction cup rests on the product to suck the product. Then the vertical cylinder output shaft retracts, driving the bracket and the suction cup to move upward, and the product is grabbed and moved up and separated from the product discharge tray by the suction cup. Then the transverse cylinder pushes the mounting frame to move to the left, so that the bracket, the suction cup and the product move to the left and move to the top of the adjacent module, and are above the product placement tray of the adjacent module. Then the vertical cylinder output shaft extends to drive the product to move downward, so that the product is placed in the corresponding product placement tray, the suction cup is released, and then the bracket returns to its original position, and the product transfer is completed.
