Through the above design, while the cable is sucked by the second suction head 10, the terminals of the cable are also clamped by the jaw assembly 11, thereby greatly enhancing the stability of the cable during movement and ensuring that the cable can be accurately installed at the cable installation position of the electronic device.

[0042] Further, the first displacement assembly 2 in this embodiment includes an X-axis linear module 201 and a Y-axis linear module 202;

[0043] The X-axis linear module 201 is installed on the substrate 1. The Y-axis linear module 202 is connected to the X-axis linear module 201. The X-axis linear module 201 is used to drive the Y-axis linear module 202 to move in the X-axis direction. The Y-axis linear module 202 is connected with a mounting plate, and the first angle adjustment component 3 is connected to the mounting plate.

When the driving wheel 302 rotates, it drives the driven wheel 304 to rotate through the transmission belt 303. When the driven wheel 304 rotates, it drives the first support frame 305 to rotate, so that the first suction head 5 can rotate, realizing the adjustment of the suction angle of the first suction head 5.

[0048] Further, to detect the assembly pressure of the battery, the battery cable assembly manipulator in this embodiment further includes a first pressure detection component 4 connected to the first suction head 5;

[0049] The first pressure detection component 4 includes a first pressure sensor 402, a first spring 403, a first Z-direction guide rail, and a first slider 401;

[0050] The first Z-direction guide rail is installed on the first support frame 305. The first slider 401 is slidably connected to the first Z-direction guide rail. The first suction head 5 is installed on the first slider 401. The first slider 401 is connected to the first pressure sensor 402. The first pressure sensor 402 is connected to the first spring 403 and is connected to the first support frame 305 through the first spring 403.

[0051] It should be noted that after the first suction head 5 sucks the battery, the first suction head 5 and the battery are driven to move to the battery installation position of the electronic device. Subsequently, when the first suction head 5 assembles the battery to the battery installation position of the electronic device, the first slider 401 is driven to move upward along the first Z-axis guide rail, thereby driving the first pressure sensor 402 to compress the first spring 403. According to the principle of action and reaction, at this time, the first pressure sensor 402 can detect the assembly pressure of the battery, avoiding damage to the battery caused by excessive assembly pressure.

[0052] Furthermore, the second angle adjustment assembly 6 in this embodiment includes a second rotary motor 601, and the output end of the second rotary motor 601 is connected to the support base 7.

[0053] It should be noted that through the above design, the second rotary motor 601 drives the support base 7 to rotate, thereby rotating the second suction head 10, and further adjusting the suction angle of the second suction head 10. Specifically, the second suction head 10 rotates around the Z-axis under the drive of the second angle adjustment assembly 6.

[0054] Furthermore, the second displacement assembly 8 in this embodiment includes a Z-axis linear module 801;

[0055] The Z-axis linear module 801 is installed on the support base 7, the Z-axis linear module 801 is connected to a second support frame 12, and the connecting plate 9 is connected to the second support frame 12.

[0056] It should be noted that through the above design, the second suction head 10 can be moved along the Z-axis direction.

[0057] Furthermore, to detect the assembly pressure of the cable, a second pressure detection assembly 13 connected to the connecting plate 9 is further included;

[0058] The second pressure detection assembly 13 includes a second pressure sensor 1301, a second spring 1302, a second Z-axis guide rail 1304, and a second slider 1303;

[0059] The second Z-axis guide rail 1304 is installed on the second support frame 12, the second slider 1303 is slidably connected to the second Z-axis guide rail 1304, the connecting plate 9 is connected to the second slider 1303, the second pressure sensor 1301 is connected to the top of the connecting plate 9, and the second pressure sensor 1301 is connected to the second spring 1302 and connected to the second support frame 12 through the second spring 1302.

[0060] It should be noted that after the second suction head 10 sucks the battery, the second suction head 10 and the flexible cable are driven to move to the flexible cable installation position of the electronic device. Subsequently, when the second suction head 10 assembles the flexible cable to the flexible cable installation position of the electronic device, the second slider 1303 is driven to move upward along the second Z-axis guide rail 1304, thereby driving the second pressure sensor 1301 to compress the second spring 1302. According to the principle of force and reaction, at this time, the second pressure sensor 1301 can detect the assembly pressure of the flexible cable, avoiding damage to the flexible cable caused by excessive assembly pressure.

[0061] Furthermore, the jaw assembly 11 in this embodiment includes an adapter plate 1104, a third Z-axis guide rail 1106, a third slider 1105, a finger cylinder 1101, a first jaw 1102, a second jaw 1103, and a connecting frame 1107;

The third slider 1105 is slidably connected to the third Z-axis guide rail 1106. The connecting frame 1107 is connected to the third slider 1105. The finger cylinder 1101 is installed on the connecting frame 1107. The finger cylinder 1101 has a first output end and a second output end. The first jaw 1102 is connected to the first output end, and the second jaw 1103 is connected to the second output end. The first jaw 1102 and the second jaw 1103 are respectively located on opposite sides of the second suction head 10. The finger cylinder 1101 can drive the first jaw 1102 and the second jaw 1103 to move closer to or away from each other to clamp or loosen the terminals of the flexible cable.

[0063] It should be noted that when the second suction head 10 installs the flexible cable to the flexible cable installation position of the electronic device, due to the design of the second pressure detection assembly 13, the second suction head 10 will move upward a certain distance in the Z-axis direction. At this time, the connecting frame 1107 connected to the finger cylinder 1101 slides along the third Z-axis guide rail 1106 on the third slider 1105, so that the finger cylinder 1101, the first jaw 1102, and the second jaw 1103 move relative to the second suction head 10 in the Z-axis direction, thereby ensuring accurate detection of the assembly pressure of the flexible cable.

[0064] Furthermore, the X-axis linear module 201 and the Y-axis linear module 202 are electric cylinders or air cylinders;

[0065] The Z-axis linear module 801 is an electric cylinder or an air cylinder.

[0066] Further, the specific types of the X-axis linear module 201, Y-axis linear module 202, and Z-axis linear module 801 in this embodiment can be selected according to actual requirements, and this embodiment does not limit this.

For those of ordinary skill in the art, according to the idea of the embodiments of the present utility model, there will be changes in the specific implementation manners and application scopes. In summary, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model.
