The first suction cup 110 is driven to move by the action of the robotic arm 106, so as to adsorb the iron shell, and then the iron shell is moved above the second identification camera 109 to identify and position the bolt column at the bottom of the iron shell, and the bolt hole on the product is identified and positioned by the first identification camera 108. Finally, the robotic arm 106 drives the first suction cup 110 and the iron shell to move, and the iron shell is assembled into the product. It can be understood that the foregoing solution can be used when automatically assembling the iron shell onto the product, and can also be used to facilitate the loading and unloading of the material tray 104.

During use, a plurality of the material trays 104 are stacked and placed on the feeding member 112. The feeding member 112 drives the plurality of material trays 104 to rise, so that the uppermost material tray 104 is flush with the frame 101. At this time, the grasping member 111 can grasp the iron shell inside the uppermost material tray 104. When there is no iron shell in the uppermost material tray 104, the feeding member 112 removes the empty upper tray and places it on one side of the frame 101, and the next-layer material tray 104 rises, facilitating the grasping member 111 to grasp the iron shell inside it, thereby achieving the purpose of automatic feeding;During use, place the product on the conveyor belt 102. The conveyor belt 102 transports the product to the robotic arm 106. The gripping member 111 grabs the iron shell in the material tray 104 and places it on the placement tray 105. The robotic arm 106 moves to drive the first mounting bracket 107, the first identification camera 108, and the first suction cup 110, so that the first suction cup 110 can adsorb the iron shell on the placement tray 105. Then, the robotic arm 106 drives the first mounting bracket 107, the first suction cup 110, and the adsorbed iron shell to move above the second identification camera 109. The second identification camera 109 identifies the bolt posts at the bottom of the iron shell. After the identification and positioning are completed, the robotic arm 106 drives the first mounting bracket 107, the first suction cup 110, and the adsorbed iron shell to move above the product on the conveyor belt 102. At this time, the first identification camera 108 identifies and positions the bolt holes on the product. Then, the robotic arm 106 drives the first mounting bracket 107, the first suction cup 110, and the adsorbed iron shell to descend, so that the iron shell can be assembled on the product, and the bolt posts on the iron shell are inserted into the bolt holes on the product, thus completing the assembly.

The longitudinal guide rail 113, the transverse guide rail 114, and the vertical guide rail 115 are prior arts, and their structures and principles will not be elaborated here. The second suction cup 118 is connected to a negative pressure device (not shown in the figure). The iron shell in the material tray 104 is identified by the third identification camera 117. Then, the longitudinal guide rail 113, the transverse guide rail 114, and the vertical guide rail 115 drive the second mounting bracket 116 and the second suction cup 118 to move above the iron shell, and the iron shell is adsorbed by the second suction cup 118.

Then, the robotic arm 106 drives the first mounting bracket 107, the first suction cup 110, and the iron shell to move above the product. The bolt holes on the product are identified by the first identification camera 108. Finally, the robotic arm 106 drives the first mounting bracket 107, the first suction cup 110, and the iron shell to descend, so as to assemble the iron shell on the product. The conveyor belt 102 conveys the assembled product to the next process, and the subsequent products are conveyed to the robotic arm 106 for iron shell assembly, achieving the purpose of improving production efficiency.
