Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to but is not limited to the field of production equipment, and in particular to a frame assembly device and a production line. Background Art

[0002] A frame assembly device is a device for assembling a frame. In the related art, when the frame assembly device is used to assemble a frame, the frame is prone to misalignment, which affects assembly efficiency and even causes damage to the frame. Utility Model Content

[0003] The frame assembly equipment and production line provided in the embodiments of the present application reduce assembly problems caused by misalignment and improve frame assembly efficiency.

[0004] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a frame assembly device, which includes an assembly mechanism, a positioning mechanism and a guiding mechanism, wherein the positioning mechanism is connected to the assembly mechanism, and the positioning mechanism forms a limiting space for a limited first frame; the guiding mechanism is connected to the assembly mechanism, and the guiding mechanism is arranged at an end of the limiting space, and the guiding mechanism includes at least one guiding surface, one side of the guiding surface can extend into the limiting space, and the other side of the guiding surface is inclined in a direction away from the limiting space, and the guiding surface is used to guide the second frame into the connecting groove.

[0005] The frame assembly device provided in the embodiment of the present application is used to assemble a first frame and a second frame, wherein the first frame has a connecting groove for accommodating the second frame. The assembly mechanism provides fixing and support for the positioning mechanism and the guiding mechanism; the positioning mechanism forms a limited space for the limited first frame, and the positioning mechanism can accurately fix the position of the first frame in the limited space; the guiding mechanism is arranged at the end of the limited space, and when the first frame is fixed in the limited space, the guiding mechanism is located at the end of the first frame relative to the first frame, and the guiding mechanism includes at least one guiding surface, because one side of the guiding surface can extend into the limited space, and the other side is inclined in a direction away from the limited space, when the second frame moves along the side of the guiding surface extending from the limited space to the side of the limited space, the second frame can be moved into the limited space by the guidance of the guiding surface, and because the limited space fixes the position of the first frame, the first frame has a connecting groove for accommodating the second frame, and therefore, at the end of the first frame, the guiding surface can guide the second frame to smoothly enter the connecting groove. Compared with the solution in the related art, in which the frame assembly equipment is prone to misalignment when assembling the frame, resulting in frame assembly failure or even component explosion, which affects the frame assembly efficiency, the frame assembly equipment in the embodiment of the present application is fixed in position due to the limitation of the positioning mechanism, and the guide surface of the guide mechanism can guide the second frame at the end of the first frame to smoothly enter the connecting groove, thereby reducing the risk of misalignment between the frames during frame assembly, reducing the possibility of frame assembly failure and component explosion, and improving frame assembly efficiency.

[0006] In a possible implementation of the present application, the assembly mechanism forms a placement space for placing the substrate; the positioning mechanism includes a first limiting surface forming the limiting space, the first limiting surface faces the placement space, and at least one guide surface includes a first guide surface, which is arranged away from the first limiting surface.

[0007] Here, the positioning mechanism includes a first limiting surface that forms a limiting space, and the first limiting surface faces the placement space. The first guide surface can guide the second frame to enter the limiting space toward one side of the placement space, that is, enter the connecting groove of the first frame, thereby reducing the risk of assembly misalignment and improving the assembly accuracy.

[0008] In a possible implementation of the present application, at least one guide surface further includes a second guide surface, and the second guide surface and the first guide surface are respectively located on two adjacent sides of the limiting space.

[0009] Here, the second guide surface and the first guide surface are respectively located on the adjacent two sides of the limiting space. Therefore, the second guide surface and the first guide surface can respectively guide the side edges of the second frame located on the adjacent two sides of the limiting space into the limiting space, that is, into the connecting groove of the first frame, and can be guided from two directions, further reducing the risk of assembly misalignment and improving the accuracy of assembly.

[0010] In a possible implementation of the present application, the guide mechanism includes a base, the second guide surface is arranged on the base, a protrusion is arranged on one side of the base facing the limiting space, and the first guide surface is arranged on a peripheral side of the protrusion.

[0011] Here, the guiding mechanism includes a base, a protrusion is provided on the side of the base facing the limiting space, a first guide surface is provided on the peripheral side of the protrusion, and a second guide surface is provided on the base. The first guide surface and the second guide surface work together to guide the second frame from two directions. The first guide surface is provided on the path where the second frame enters the first frame through the protrusion, thereby enhancing the accuracy of positioning. At the same time, the protrusion reduces the volume of the base and saves space.

[0012] In a possible implementation of the present application, the positioning mechanism also includes a second limiting surface that forms a limiting space, and the second limiting surface is arranged adjacent to the first limiting surface; the guiding mechanism includes a clamping block, which is arranged opposite to the second limiting surface, and the clamping block is used to abut the first frame.

[0013] Here, the positioning mechanism also includes a second limiting surface that forms a limiting space, and the second limiting surface is arranged adjacent to the first limiting surface. The guiding mechanism includes a clamping block, and the clamping block is used to abut the first frame. Since the clamping block and the second limiting surface are arranged relative to each other, the first frame can be abutted between the clamping block and the second limiting surface to clamp the first frame, fix the position of the first frame, and reduce the offset of the first frame when assembling the frame.

[0014] In a possible implementation of the present application, the clamping block includes an abutment surface facing the limiting space, the abutment surface is used to abut against the first frame, the second limiting surface is arranged opposite to the abutment surface, and the distance between the second guide surface and the second limiting surface is smaller than the distance between the abutment surface and the second limiting surface.

[0015] Here, the clamping block includes an abutment surface facing the limiting space, and the abutment surface is used to abut against the first frame. The second limiting surface and the abutment surface are arranged opposite to each other. Therefore, the abutment surface and the second limiting surface are used to abut and fix the first frame. Since the distance between the second guide surface and the second limiting surface is smaller than the distance between the abutment surface and the second limiting surface, the second frame can smoothly enter between the abutment surface and the second limiting surface, that is, into the first frame, through the guidance of the second guide surface, thereby reducing the possibility of collision between the second frame and the first frame.

[0016] In a possible implementation of the present application, the pressing block and the guide surface are both arranged on the base; the base is movably connected to the assembly mechanism to move toward or away from the limiting space along the radial direction of the limiting space.

[0017] Here, since the clamping block and the guide surface are both arranged on the base, the base is movably connected to the assembly mechanism to move radially toward or away from the limiting space. Therefore, the clamping block and the guide surface can move radially toward or away from the limiting space, thereby achieving the clamping and loosening of the first frame.

[0018] In a possible implementation of the present application, the guide mechanism further includes a driving member, the driving member is connected to the assembly mechanism, and an output end of the driving member is transmission-connected to the base.

[0019] Here, the guide mechanism also includes a driving member, which is connected to the assembly mechanism. Since the output end of the driving member is transmission-connected to the base, the driving member can drive the base to move radially toward or away from the limiting space relative to the assembly mechanism, thereby improving efficiency.

[0020] In a possible implementation of the present application, the material hardness of the pressing block is smaller than the material hardness of the guiding mechanism, and the friction coefficient of the pressing block is larger than the friction coefficient of the guiding mechanism.

[0021] Here, since the material hardness of the clamping block is less than that of the guiding mechanism, the guiding mechanism can better resist wear and extend its service life. The material hardness of the clamping block is small, and when it abuts against the first frame, it can avoid scratching and damaging the first frame. The friction coefficient of the clamping block is greater than the friction coefficient of the guiding mechanism. When the clamping block clamps the first frame, the friction force is large, which reduces the displacement of the first frame during the assembling process. The friction coefficient of the guiding mechanism is relatively small, and the friction resistance is reduced, which makes it easier to guide the second frame into the first frame, thereby improving the guiding efficiency.

[0022] In a possible implementation of the present application, the frame assembly device further includes an adjustment mechanism, which is connected between the assembly mechanism and the guide mechanism and is used to adjust the relative position of the guide mechanism and the assembly mechanism.

[0023] Here, the frame assembly device also includes an adjustment mechanism, which is connected between the assembly mechanism and the guide mechanism and is used to adjust the relative position of the guide mechanism and the assembly mechanism, thereby increasing the flexibility and adaptability of the device.

[0024] In a possible implementation of the present application, the adjustment mechanism includes a guide member and a locking member. The guide member is connected to the assembly mechanism. The guide mechanism is slidably connected to the guide member to move toward or away from the limiting space. The locking member is used to unlock or lock the guide mechanism relative to the guide member.

[0025] Here, the adjustment mechanism includes a guide member and a locking member. The guide member is connected to the assembly mechanism, and the guide mechanism is slidably connected to the guide member. The guide mechanism can slide relative to the assembly mechanism through the guide member, thereby moving toward or away from the limited space. The relative position between the guide mechanism and the assembly mechanism can be adjusted by sliding, and the guide mechanism can be unlocked or locked relative to the guide member through the locking member, which is convenient for adapting to working conditions in different positions and is simple and flexible to operate.

[0026] In a possible implementation of the present application, the assembly mechanism includes a motion component, and the motion component is used to drive the first frame and the second frame to move relative to each other, wherein the first frame and the second frame are both made of steel material.

[0027] Here, the motion component drives the first frame and the second frame to move relative to each other, which can enhance the automation of the framing process and improve the framing efficiency.

[0028] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a production line, comprising a production device and a frame assembly device of the first aspect, wherein the production device is used to produce a substrate, a first frame and a second frame; and the frame assembly device is used to assemble the first frame and the second frame to the substrate.

[0029] The production line provided in the embodiment of the present application, since it includes the frame assembly equipment of the first aspect, has the same technical effect, that is, it reduces the risk of misalignment between the frames during frame assembly, reduces the possibility of frame assembly failure and component explosion, and improves frame assembly efficiency.

[0039] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the specific technical solution of the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present application, but are not used to limit the scope of the present application.

[0041] In addition, in the embodiments of the present application, directional terms such as "up", "down", "left" and "right" are defined relative to the orientation of the components in the drawings. It should be understood that these directional terms are relative concepts. They are used for relative description and clarification, and they may change accordingly according to the changes in the orientation of the components in the drawings.

For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium.

[0043] In the embodiments of the present application, the terms "include", "comprises" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also includes other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device.

Specifically, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present related concepts in a specific way.

[0045] An embodiment of the present application provides a frame assembly device, which can be used for assembling products containing frames. The products containing frames may include windows, display frames, photovoltaic products, etc. For example, photovoltaic products are used to convert solar energy into electrical energy. The photovoltaic products include a first frame, a second frame, a substrate, etc. The frame assembly device is used to assemble the first frame and the second frame onto the substrate.

[0046] In some technical solutions, when the frame assembly equipment is assembling the frame, due to insufficient frame assembly precision, the frame is prone to misalignment, sliding, etc. The applicant has found that, especially when assembling steel frames, due to the high weight and hardness of the steel frame material, the steel frame is more likely to have problems such as offset and jamming during assembly. In the case of misalignment in the assembly of the steel frame, it will not only cause damage to the frame and bursting of the photovoltaic module, increase losses, but may also cause damage to other parts of the frame assembly equipment, affecting the production line, thereby resulting in reduced efficiency of photovoltaic module assembly and unstable quality of assembled photovoltaic modules.

[0047] Therefore, in order to reduce the risk of misalignment between frames during frame assembly, reduce the possibility of frame assembly failure and component explosion, and improve frame assembly efficiency, the present application embodiment provides a frame assembly device, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 The frame assembly device includes an assembly mechanism 1, a positioning mechanism 2 and a guiding mechanism 3, wherein the positioning mechanism 2 is connected to the assembly mechanism 1, and the positioning mechanism 2 forms a limiting space of a first limited frame 6; the guiding mechanism 3 is connected to the assembly mechanism 1, and the guiding mechanism 3 is arranged at the end of the limiting space, and the guiding mechanism 3 includes at least one guiding surface, one side of the guiding surface can extend into the limiting space, and the other side of the guiding surface is inclined in a direction away from the limiting space, and the guiding surface is used to guide the second frame 7 into the connecting groove 61. In the embodiment of the present application, the positioning mechanism 2 forms a limiting space of the first limited frame 6, and the positioning mechanism 2 includes a pressure cylinder, a hook cylinder, a pressure wheel 23, a hook pressure block and a lower pressure block 24, refer to Figure 3 The lower pressing block 24 is connected to the pressure cylinder, the hook pressing block is connected to the hook cylinder, the assembly mechanism 1 has a placement surface for placing the first frame 6, the lower pressing block 24 abuts against the upper surface of the first frame 6, and presses the first frame 6 against the placement surface, and the hook pressing block abuts against the inner wall of the side where the first frame 6 is assembled with the substrate. The lower pressing block 24, the hook pressing block and the placement surface fix the position of the first frame 6, and the limiting space is the space where the first frame 6 is located at this time.

[0048] In the present application, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The guide mechanism 3 is arranged at the end of the limiting space, the guide mechanism 3 is located at the end of the first frame 6, and the guide mechanism 3 includes at least one guide surface, and the at least one guide surface can guide the second frame 7 into the connecting groove 61 of the first frame 6 at the end of the first frame 6.

[0049] In the embodiment of the present application, the guide surface includes a first side and a second side that are arranged opposite to each other, wherein the first side of the guide surface is arranged close to the limiting space, and in order to avoid the collision between the guide surface and the first frame 6 in the limiting space, the first side of the guide surface is located outside the limiting space, and in order to enable the guide surface to provide a path for the second frame 7 to be guided into the limiting space, one side of the guide surface can extend into the limiting space, that is, the plane extending from the first side of the guide surface can extend into the limiting space. In other words, when the first frame 6 is located in the limiting space, the guide surface will not collide with the first frame 6, and the guide path formed by the guide surface can guide the second frame 7 into the first frame 6.

[0050] In the embodiment of the present application, the other side of the guide surface is tilted in the direction away from the limiting space, that is, the vertical distance from the second side of the guide surface to the limiting space is greater than the vertical distance from the first side of the guide surface to the limiting space, and the vertical distance is the distance between the guide surface and the limiting space along the radial direction of the limiting space. At this time, the path from the second side of the guide surface to the first side provides a guide path for the second frame 7, and the guide path is from the direction away from the limiting space to the direction close to the limiting space. When the second frame 7 reaches the first side of the guide surface under the guidance of the guide surface, it can continue to move in the direction extending from the first side of the guide surface to the limiting space. The limiting space is the space where the first frame 6 is located. Therefore, the second frame 7 enters the first frame 6 under the guidance of the guide surface.

[0051] In the present application, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 A connecting piece 71 is provided at the end of the second frame 7, and the first frame 6 has a connecting groove 61 for accommodating the second frame 7. The connecting piece 71 of the second frame 7 enters the connecting groove 61 to realize the assembly of the first frame 6 and the second frame 7.

[0052] In the present application, refer to Figure 5 The assembly mechanism 1 further includes a specification control mechanism 13, which is used to adjust the length of the assembly mechanism 1 so that the assembly mechanism 1 can adapt to frames of different lengths.

[0053] The frame assembly device of the embodiment of the present application is used to assemble the first frame 6 and the second frame 7, wherein the first frame 6 has a connecting groove 61 for accommodating the second frame 7. The assembly mechanism 1 provides fixing and support for the positioning mechanism 2 and the guiding mechanism 3; the positioning mechanism 2 forms a limited space for the limited first frame 6, and the positioning mechanism 2 can accurately fix the position of the first frame 6 in the limited space; the guiding mechanism 3 is arranged at the end of the limited space, and when the first frame 6 is fixed in the limited space, the guiding mechanism 3 is located at the end of the first frame 6, and the guiding mechanism 3 includes at least one guiding surface, because one side of the guiding surface can extend into the limited space, and the other side is inclined in the direction away from the limited space, when the second frame 7 moves along the side of the guiding surface away from the limited space to the side of the limited space, the second frame 7 can be guided by the guiding surface to move into the limited space, because the limited space fixes the position of the first frame 6, and the first frame 6 has a connecting groove 61 for accommodating the second frame 7, therefore, at the end of the first frame 6, the guiding surface can guide the second frame 7 to smoothly enter the connecting groove 61. Compared with the solution in the related art, in which the frame assembly equipment is prone to misalignment when assembling the frame, resulting in frame assembly failure or even component explosion, thereby affecting the frame assembly efficiency, the frame assembly equipment in the embodiment of the present application has a fixed position of the first frame 6 due to the limitation of the positioning mechanism 2, and the guide surface of the guide mechanism 3 can guide the second frame 7 at the end of the first frame 6 to smoothly enter the connecting groove 61, thereby reducing the risk of misalignment between the frames during frame assembly, reducing the possibility of frame assembly failure and component explosion, and improving the frame assembly efficiency.

[0054] In order to improve the accuracy of the second frame 7 when it is assembled into the first frame 6, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some possible embodiments of the present application, the assembly mechanism 1 forms a placement space, and the placement space is used to place the substrate; the positioning mechanism 2 includes a first limiting surface 21 forming a limiting space, and the first limiting surface 21 faces the placement space, and at least one guide surface includes a first guide surface 311, and the first guide surface 311 is set away from the first limiting surface 21.

[0055] In the present application, refer to Figure 1 The frame assembly equipment also includes a transmission channel 4, a stopping mechanism, and a suction cup lifting mechanism 5. The transmission channel 4 is used to transfer substrates and transfer components that have been completed by the frame assembly. The stopping mechanism is used to stop the incoming substrates. The suction cup lifting mechanism 5 is used to lift the substrate to a preset position. The preset position is the position where the substrate is located when the frame is assembled. When the substrate is lifted to the preset position by the suction cup lifting mechanism 5, the space where the substrate is located is the placement space.

[0056] In the embodiment of the present application, the positioning mechanism 2 includes a first limiting surface 21 that forms a limiting space, the first limiting surface 21 faces the placement space, and the first guide surface 311 is set away from the first limiting surface 21. Since the first limiting surface 21 faces the placement space, the first guide surface 311 also faces the placement space, that is, the first limiting surface 21 is in contact with the outer facade of the first frame 6.

[0057] In the embodiment of the present application, when the first frame 6 is fixed in the limiting space, the first guide surface 311 is located on one side of the outer facade of the first frame 6, and is used to guide the portion of the connecting piece 71 of the second frame 7 close to the outer facade of the first frame 6 to enter the first frame 6.

[0058] In the embodiment of the present application, the first limiting surface 21 is a vertical surface adjacent to the placement surface of the first frame 6, and the hook pressure block of the positioning mechanism 2 abuts against the inner wall on the side where the first frame 6 is assembled with the substrate, pressing the first frame 6 against the first limiting surface 21 to fix the position of the first frame 6.

[0059] In the frame assembly device of the embodiment of the present application, the positioning mechanism 2 includes a first limiting surface 21 that forms a limiting space, and the first limiting surface 21 faces the placement space. The first guiding surface 311 can guide the second frame 7 to enter the limiting space toward one side of the placement space, that is, enter the connecting groove 61 of the first frame 6, thereby reducing the risk of assembly misalignment and improving the accuracy of assembly.

[0060] In order to further improve the accuracy of guiding the second frame 7 into the first frame 6 and reduce the risk of assembly misalignment, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some possible embodiments of the present application, at least one guide surface further includes a second guide surface 312, and the second guide surface 312 and the first guide surface 311 are respectively located on two adjacent sides of the limiting space.

[0061] In the embodiment of the present application, the second guide surface 312 and the first guide surface 311 are respectively located on the adjacent two sides of the limiting space. When the first frame 6 is fixed in the limiting space, the second guide surface 312 is located on one side of the upper surface of the first frame 6, and is used to guide the part of the connecting piece 71 of the second frame 7 close to the upper surface of the first frame 6 to enter the first frame 6.

[0062] In the frame assembly device of the embodiment of the present application, the second guide surface 312 and the first guide surface 311 are respectively located on the adjacent two sides of the limiting space. Therefore, the second guide surface 312 and the first guide surface 311 can respectively guide the side edges of the second frame 7 located on the adjacent two sides of the limiting space into the limiting space, that is, into the connecting groove 61 of the first frame 6. The second guide surface 312 and the first guide surface 311 can guide from two directions, further reducing the risk of assembly misalignment and improving the accuracy of assembly.

[0063] In order to simplify the volume of the guide mechanism 3 and reduce the possibility of collision between the guide mechanism 3 and the frame, refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 In some possible embodiments of the present application, the guide mechanism 3 includes a base 31, a second guide surface 312 is arranged on the base 31, a protrusion is arranged on the side of the base 31 facing the limiting space, and the first guide surface 311 is arranged on the peripheral side of the protrusion.

[0064] In the embodiment of the present application, the first guide surface 311 and the second guide surface 312 are used to guide the second frame 7 into the first frame 6. The first guide surface 311 and the second guide surface 312 need to be in contact with the second frame 7. Therefore, the surfaces of the first guide surface 311 and the second guide surface 312 can be polished, coated, etc. to reduce friction and scratches on the second frame 7.

[0065] In the frame assembly device of the embodiment of the present application, a protrusion is provided on the side of the base 31 facing the limiting space, a first guide surface 311 is provided on the peripheral side of the protrusion, and a second guide surface 312 is provided on the base 31. The first guide surface 311 and the second guide surface 312 work together to guide the second frame 7 from two directions. The first guide surface 311 is provided on the path of the second frame 7 entering the first frame 6 through the protrusion, thereby enhancing the accuracy of positioning. At the same time, the protrusion reduces the volume of the base 31 and saves space.

[0066] In order to reduce the displacement of the first frame 6 during the grouping process, refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 In some possible embodiments of the present application, the positioning mechanism 2 also includes a second limiting surface 22 that forms a limiting space, and the second limiting surface 22 is arranged adjacent to the first limiting surface 21; the guiding mechanism 3 includes a clamping block 32, and the clamping block 32 is arranged opposite to the second limiting surface 22, and the clamping block 32 is used to abut the first frame 6.

[0067] In the embodiment of the present application, the positioning mechanism 2 also includes a second limiting surface 22 that forms a limiting space. The second limiting surface 22 is also the placement surface for placing the first frame 6. The second limiting surface 22 is arranged adjacent to the first limiting surface 21. In this way, the second limiting surface 22 and the first limiting surface 21 can limit the position of the first frame 6 in two directions, making the limitation of the first frame 6 more stable.

[0068] In the embodiment of the present application, the clamping block 32 is arranged opposite to the second limiting surface 22. The clamping block 32 is used to abut the first frame 6. The shape of the clamping block 32 can be set to a rectangle, a diamond, etc. For example, the clamping block 32 includes two side edges set at an angle. The first frame 6 and the second frame 7 are beveled at the ends of the frames for the convenience of assembly. The two side edges correspond to the beveled surface at the end of the first frame 6 and the length direction of the frame. The angle is the angle between the beveled surface at the end of the first frame 6 and the length direction of the frame.

[0069] In the frame assembly device of the embodiment of the present application, the positioning mechanism 2 also includes a second limiting surface 22 that forms a limiting space, and the second limiting surface 22 is arranged adjacent to the first limiting surface 21. The guiding mechanism 3 includes a clamping block 32, and the clamping block 32 is used to abut the first frame 6. Since the clamping block 32 and the second limiting surface 22 are arranged relative to each other, the first frame 6 can be abutted between the clamping block 32 and the second limiting surface 22 to clamp the first frame 6, fix the position of the first frame 6, and reduce the displacement of the first frame 6 during frame assembly.

[0070] In order to reduce the possibility of collision between the second frame 7 and the first frame 6, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6 In some possible embodiments of the present application, the clamping block 32 includes an abutment surface 321 facing the limiting space, the abutment surface 321 is used to abut against the first frame 6, the second limiting surface 22 is arranged opposite to the abutment surface 321, and the distance between the second guide surface 312 and the second limiting surface 22 is smaller than the distance between the abutment surface 321 and the second limiting surface 22.

[0071] In the embodiment of the present application, the distance between the second guide surface 312 and the second limiting surface 22 is smaller than the distance between the abutting surface 321 and the second limiting surface 22, that is, a distance difference is formed between the two distances. When the abutting surface 321 abuts against the first frame 6, the gap difference forms an avoidance space between the abutting surface 321 and the second guide surface 312. The avoidance space is used to accommodate the upper side edge of the first frame 6 so that when the second frame 7 enters the connecting groove 61, it has no contact with the first frame 6.

[0072] In the frame assembly device of the embodiment of the present application, since the distance between the second guide surface 312 and the second limiting surface 22 is smaller than the distance between the abutting surface 321 and the second limiting surface 22, the second frame 7 can smoothly enter between the abutting surface 321 and the second limiting surface 22, that is, into the first frame 6, through the guidance of the second guide surface 312, thereby reducing the possibility of collision between the second frame 7 and the first frame 6.

[0073] In order to make the guide mechanism 3 and the pressing block 32 approach and move away from the first frame 6, and realize the pressing and loosening of the first frame 6, refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6In some possible embodiments of the present application, the clamping block 32 and the guide surface are both arranged on the base 31, and the base 31 is movably connected to the assembly mechanism 1 to move toward or away from the limiting space along the radial direction of the limiting space.

[0074] In the embodiment of the present application, the clamping block 32 and the guide surface are both arranged on the base 31, the guide surface is the surface on the base 31, the clamping block 32 is connected to the base 31, the clamping block 32 is connected to the side of the base 31 close to the limiting space, adjacent to the first guide surface 311 and the second guide surface 312, when the guide mechanism 3 and the clamping block 32 are close to the first frame 6, the clamping block 32 abuts against the first frame 6, and there is no contact between the base 31 and the first frame 6.

[0075] In the frame assembly device of the embodiment of the present application, since the base 31 is movably connected to the assembly mechanism 1 so as to move radially toward or away from the limiting space, the clamping block 32 and the guide surface can both move radially toward or away from the limiting space, thereby achieving the clamping and loosening of the first frame 6.

[0076] In order to improve the efficiency of the guide mechanism 3, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some possible embodiments of the present application, the guide mechanism 3 further includes a driving member 33 , the driving member 33 is connected to the assembly mechanism 1 , and an output end of the driving member 33 is transmission-connected to the base 31 .

[0077] In the embodiment of the present application, the driving member 33 can be a servo motor, a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder or other device that can drive the base 31 to perform linear motion. The exemplary driver is a cylinder, which has a simple structure, fast response, and is suitable for high-frequency motion.

[0078] In the embodiment of the present application, the guide mechanism 3 further includes a base plate 35 , the driving member 33 is connected to the assembly mechanism 1 via the base plate 35 , and the guide mechanism 3 is connected to the output end of the driving member 33 and can move relative to the base plate 35 .

[0079] In the frame assembly device of the embodiment of the present application, the guide mechanism 3 also includes a driving member 33, and the driving member 33 is connected to the assembly mechanism 1. Since the output end of the driving member 33 is transmission-connected with the base 31, the driving member 33 can drive the base 31 to move radially toward or away from the limiting space relative to the assembly mechanism 1, thereby improving efficiency.

[0080] In order to improve the effect of clamping the first frame 6 and guiding the second frame 7, in some possible embodiments of the present application, the material hardness of the clamping block 32 is less than the material hardness of the guide mechanism 3, and the friction coefficient of the clamping block 32 is greater than the friction coefficient of the guide mechanism 3.

[0081] In the frame assembly device of the embodiment of the present application, since the material hardness of the clamping block 32 is less than that of the guide mechanism 3, the guide mechanism 3 is more wear-resistant, thereby extending the service life of the guide mechanism 3. The material hardness of the clamping block 32 is small, and when it abuts against the first frame 6, it can avoid scratching and damaging the first frame 6; the friction coefficient of the clamping block 32 is greater than the friction coefficient of the guide mechanism 3. When the clamping block 32 clamps the first frame 6, the friction force is large, thereby reducing the displacement of the first frame 6 during the frame assembly process. The friction coefficient of the guide mechanism 3 is relatively small, and the friction resistance is reduced, thereby facilitating guiding the second frame 7 into the first frame 6, thereby improving the guiding efficiency.

[0082] In order to further flexibly control the position of the guide mechanism 3 relative to the first frame 6, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 7 In some possible embodiments of the present application, the frame assembly device further includes an adjustment mechanism 34 , which is connected between the assembly mechanism 1 and the guide mechanism 3 and is used to adjust the relative position of the guide mechanism 3 and the assembly mechanism 1 .

[0083] In the embodiment of the present application, after the driving member 33 drives the guiding mechanism 3 and the pressing block 32 to approach the first frame 6, when the pressing block 32 presses the first frame 6, the position of the first frame 6 is fixed and the frame can be assembled. When the pressing block 32 fails to press the first frame 6 due to an error, the position of the guiding mechanism 3 and the pressing block 32 can be fine-tuned by the adjusting mechanism 34 so that the pressing block 32 is in close contact with the first frame 6.

[0084] In an embodiment of the present application, the adjustment mechanism 34 can be set on the base plate 35, and the position of the driving member 33 relative to the floor can be adjusted through the adjustment mechanism 34, thereby changing the relative position of the guide mechanism 3 and the clamping block 32 without affecting the driving of the guide mechanism 3 and the clamping block 32 by the driving member 33.

[0085] The frame assembly device of the embodiment of the present application further includes an adjustment mechanism 34, which is connected between the assembly mechanism 1 and the guide mechanism 3 and is used to adjust the relative position of the guide mechanism 3 and the assembly mechanism 1, thereby increasing the flexibility and adaptability of the device.

[0086] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 7 In some possible embodiments of the present application, the adjustment mechanism 34 includes a guide member 341 and a locking member 342. The guide member 341 is connected to the assembly mechanism 1, and the guide mechanism 3 is slidably connected to the guide member 341 to move toward or away from the limiting space. The locking member 342 is used to unlock or lock the guide mechanism 3 relative to the guide member 341.

[0087] In the embodiment of the present application, the guide mechanism 3 is slidably connected to the guide member 341. The guide member 341 can be a guide rail arranged on the base plate 35, a groove arranged on the base plate 35, or a through groove arranged on the base plate 35. For example, the guide mechanism 3 is slidably connected to the through groove on the base plate 35 through the driving member 33. The locking member 342 is a bolt connected to the other end of the through groove. The guide mechanism 3 is locked or unlocked relative to the guide member 341 by tightening or loosening the bolt.

[0088] In the frame assembly device of the embodiment of the present application, the adjustment mechanism 34 includes a guide member 341 and a locking member 342. The guide member 341 is connected to the assembly mechanism 1, and the guide mechanism 3 is slidably connected to the guide member 341. The guide mechanism 3 can slide relative to the assembly mechanism 1 through the guide member 341, thereby moving toward or away from the limited space. The relative position between the guide mechanism 3 and the assembly mechanism 1 can be adjusted by sliding, and the guide mechanism 3 can be unlocked or locked relative to the guide member 341 through the locking member 342, which is convenient for adapting to working conditions in different positions and is simple and flexible to operate.

[0089] Reference Figure 5 In some possible embodiments of the present application, the assembly mechanism 1 includes a motion component 11, and the motion component 11 is used to drive the first frame 6 and the second frame 7 to move relative to each other, wherein the first frame 6 and the second frame 7 are both made of steel material.

[0090] In the embodiment of the present application, the assembly mechanism 1 also includes a carrier plate 12, a positioning mechanism 2 and a guide mechanism 3 are arranged on the carrier plate 12, a motion component 11 is connected to the carrier plate 12, and the motion component 11 drives the carrier plate 12 to move toward and away from the substrate. When assembling the frame, the motion component 11 drives the carrier plate 12 to move in a direction close to the substrate. After the framing is completed, the motion component 11 drives the carrier plate 12 to move in a direction away from the substrate.

[0091] In the embodiment of the present application, the number of the supporting plates 12 can be multiple, which can be determined according to the number of frames that need to be assembled. For example, the frames that need to be assembled include two first frames 6 and two second frames 7. Correspondingly, the supporting plates 12 are set to four and are located on the four sides of the substrate. The two first frames 6 are frames assembled to the two long sides of the substrate, and the two second frames 7 are frames assembled to the two wide sides of the substrate. The two relatively arranged supporting plates 12 are a pair, and one pair of supporting plates 12 is used to assemble the two first frames 6, and the other pair of supporting plates 12 is used to assemble the two second frames 7.

[0092] In the embodiment of the present application, the frame assembly device also includes a frame, and the motion component 11 is arranged on the frame and connected to the carrier plate 12. The motion component 11 can be an electric slide, driven by a motor, and the linear motion of the motion component 11 is realized by a lead screw or a belt. The motion component 11 can also be a pneumatic slide, driven by a cylinder, to realize the linear motion of the motion component 11. The motion component 11 can also be other driving devices, which are not limited to this. In the embodiment of the present application, the frame assembly device also includes a transport frame mechanism. When the frame assembly device performs the frame assembly operation, after the transmission channel 4 transports the substrate to the preset position, the stop mechanism stops the substrate, and the suction cup lifting mechanism 5 rises to lift the substrate until the substrate is located in the placement space. At the same time, the transport frame mechanism transports the first frame 6 and the second frame 7 to the assembly mechanism 1, and the positioning mechanism 2 presses the first frame 6 and the second frame 7 on the second limiting surface 22. The guide mechanism 3 is driven by the driving member 33 to approach the end of the first frame 6 until the abutting surface 321 of the clamping block 32 abuts against the first frame 6. At this time, the clamping block 32 and the second limiting surface 22 are pressed. The positioning surface 22 limits the end of the first frame 6, and the moving component 11 of the assembly mechanism 1 drives the first frame 6 and the second frame 7 to move toward the direction of the substrate. The connecting piece 71 at the end of the second frame 7 enters the connecting groove 61 of the first frame 6 through the guidance of the first guide surface 311 and the second guide surface 312. At this time, the driving member 33 moves to the side away from the first frame 6, and brings the guide mechanism 3 away from the first frame 6 to avoid collision between the second frame 7 and the guide mechanism 3. Subsequently, the moving component 11 drives the first frame 6 and the second frame 7 to move toward the direction of the substrate until the first frame 6, the second frame 7 and the substrate are assembled.
