[0021] The utility model provides an automatic rear cover assembly device for visual positioning, which comprises a frame 101 and an installation assembly 102. The installation assembly 102 includes a base 103, a roller 104, a placement tray 105, a limiting member 106, a moving member 107, a mounting seat 108, a positioning camera 109, a suction member 110 and a positioning member 111. The limiting member 106 includes a limiting strip 112, a limiting cylinder 113 and a limiting seat 114. The suction member 110 includes a rotating motor 115, a rotating platform 116 and a suction plate 117. The suction plate 117 includes a plate body 118, urethane rubber 119 and a pressure sensor 120. The moving member 107 drives the mounting seat 108 and the suction member 110 to move, so as to suck the rear cover on the placement tray 105, and the positioning camera 109 is used for identification. After the identification is completed, the rear cover is assembled, so as to achieve the purpose of automatically assembling the rear cover. It can be understood that the foregoing solution can be used when automatically assembling the rear cover of an expansion dock, and can also be used to solve the problem of controlling the pressure when assembling the rear cover.

[0022] For this specific embodiment, the base 103 is fixedly connected to the frame 101 and is located inside the frame 101. The roller 104 is rotatably mounted on the base 103. The placement disk 105 is connected to the roller 104 and is arranged on the roller 104. The limiting member 106 is arranged on the placement disk 105. The moving member 107 is arranged on the frame 101. The mounting seat 108 is connected to the frame 101 through the moving member 107. The positioning camera 109 is fixedly connected to the base 103 and is located on one side of the base 103. The suction member 110 is arranged on the mounting seat 108. The positioning member 111 is arranged on the base 103. A plurality of rollers 104 are provided and are evenly distributed on the base 103. The plurality of rollers 104 are driven to rotate by a driving structure (not shown in the figure), so as to convey the placement disk 105. The placement disk 105 is used to place the docking station and the docking station back cover to be assembled with the back cover. The limiting member 106 is used to limit the docking station to prevent it from shifting during the assembly process. The suction member 110 can suck the back cover. The positioning member 111 can position the placement disk 105. The moving member 107 includes an X-axis guide rail 121, a Y-axis guide rail 122, and a Z-axis guide rail 123. The mounting seat 108 is mounted on the Z-axis guide rail 123. The Z-axis guide rail 123 is mounted on the Y-axis guide rail 122. The Y-axis guide rail 122 is further mounted on the X-axis guide rail 121. The movement of the X-axis guide rail 121 drives the Y-axis guide rail 122 and the Z-axis guide rail 123 to move along the X-axis direction, thereby driving the mounting seat 108 and the suction member 110 to move along the X-axis. The Y-axis guide rail 122 drives the Z-axis guide rail 123, the mounting seat 108, and the suction member 110 to move along the Y-axis. The Z-axis guide rail 123 drives the mounting seat 108 and the suction member 110 to lift, so that the mounting seat 108 and the suction member 110 can move to any position. The moving member 107 is a commonly used technical means in the prior art, and its structure and principle will not be elaborated here.During use, the placement tray 105 flows from the assembly line of other processes onto the roller 104. The rotation of the roller 104 causes the placement tray 105 to move thereon. Then, the positioning member 111 positions the placement tray 105. The moving member 107 drives the mounting seat 108 and the suction member 110 to move, so that the suction member 110 can suck the rear cover on the placement tray 105 and drive the rear cover to move above the positioning camera 109. The positioning camera 109 identifies and positions the rear cover. Then, the moving member 107 drives the mounting seat 108, the suction member 110 and the rear cover to move above the docking station and descend, so as to assemble the rear cover on the docking station. After the assembly is completed, the positioning member 111 releases the positioning of the placement tray 105, and the roller 104 continues to rotate to convey the placement tray 105 and the assembled docking station to the next process, thus realizing the automatic assembly of the rear cover of the docking station and achieving the purpose of improving the assembly efficiency and effect.

[0023] Among them, the limiting strip 112 is fixedly connected to the placement tray 105 and is located on one side of the placement tray 105; the limiting air cylinder 113 is connected to the placement tray 105 and is located on the side of the placement tray 105 close to the limiting strip 112; the limiting seat 114 is arranged on the limiting air cylinder 113 and is connected to the output end of the limiting air cylinder 113; there are two limiting strips 112, which are distributed in an L shape, and the limiting air cylinder 113 is inclined. By driving the limiting seat 114 to move through the limiting air cylinder 113, the limiting seat 114 is made to push the docking station on the placement tray 105, so that both sides of the docking station abut against the two limiting strips 112, thereby limiting the docking station and preventing the rear cover from moving during the rear cover assembly process.

[0024] Secondly, the rotating motor 115 is connected to the mounting seat 108 and is arranged on the mounting seat 108; the rotating platform 116 is arranged on the rotating motor 115 and is connected to the output end of the rotating motor 115; the suction plate 117 is connected to the rotating platform 116 and is arranged on the rotating platform 116; the rear cover is sucked by the suction plate 117, and then the rotating platform 116 is driven to rotate by the rotating motor 115, thereby driving the rear cover to rotate, so that the front and rear directions of the rear cover can be adjusted, and the rear cover can be correctly installed on the docking station.

[0025] Meanwhile, the plate body 118 is slidably connected to the rotary platform 116 and is disposed on the rotary platform 116; the urethane rubber 119 is fixedly connected to the plate body 118 and is located on one side of the plate body 118; the pressure sensor 120 is fixedly connected to the plate body 118 and is located on the side of the plate body 118 close to the rotary platform 116; the urethane rubber 119 has elasticity, the plate body 118 is communicated with an air pipe, and the air pipe is communicated with a negative pressure device (not shown in the figure). Through holes are provided on the plate body 118 and the urethane rubber 119. By extracting the air in the air pipe with the negative pressure device, the through holes on the plate body 118 and the urethane rubber 119 can inhale air, so as to adsorb the back cover. At the same time, due to the elasticity of the urethane rubber 119, a good seal between it and the back cover is ensured, preventing air leakage and affecting the adsorption of the back cover. When the moving member 107 drives the mounting seat 108, the rotary platform 116 and the plate body 118 to descend, the plate body 118 drives the urethane rubber 119 and the back cover to descend, so as to assemble the back cover. During the assembly process, the pressure sensor 120 detects the force applied to the back cover, thereby improving the assembly accuracy and avoiding incomplete assembly due to too small force or damage to the product due to too large force.

[0026] When using the automatic back cover assembly device with visual positioning of this embodiment, an expansion dock and a back cover are placed on the placement tray 105. The placement tray 105 is conveyed to the assembly position by the roller 104. Then, the moving member 107 drives the mounting seat 108 and the suction member 110 to move, so that the suction member 110 can suck the back cover. The positioning camera 109 identifies the buckle position at the bottom of the back cover. After the identification is completed, the moving member 107 drives the mounting seat 108, the suction member 110 and the back cover to move above the expansion dock. Then, the suction member 110 and the back cover descend for assembly. The force during assembly is detected by the pressure sensor 120, improving the assembly quality, so as to achieve the purpose of automatically assembling the back cover of the expansion dock and improving the efficiency and assembly quality.
