[0039] See also Figures 1 to 10 , this embodiment provides an auxiliary material attaching device, which includes a first feeding mechanism 1, a positioning mechanism 2, a second feeding mechanism 3 and a conveying mechanism 4, wherein the first feeding mechanism 1 includes a conveyor line 11 and a carrier 12, the conveyor line 11 is configured to transport the carrier 12 to the attaching station, and the carrier 12 is provided with a first positioning column 1211, a second positioning column 1212, a third positioning column 1213 and a fourth positioning column 1214, the first positioning column 1211 and the second positioning column 1212 are symmetrically arranged about the first axis 1221, and the third positioning column 1213 and The fourth positioning column 1214 is symmetrically arranged about the second axis 1222, the first axis 1221 is perpendicular to the second axis 1222, the first positioning column 1211, the second positioning column 1212, the third positioning column 1213 and the fourth positioning column 1214 form a product loading area, and the products to be mounted with auxiliary materials can be placed in the product loading area. Moreover, the spacing between the first positioning column 1211 and the second positioning column 1212 and the spacing between the third positioning column 1213 and the fourth positioning column 1214 are adjustable, so that the carrier 12 can be suitable for loading products of various sizes.

[0040] As described above, the first positioning column 1211, the second positioning column 1212, the third positioning column 1213 and the fourth positioning column 1214 can roughly position products of various sizes. For example, the carrier 12 is provided with a first mounting hole 1231, a second mounting hole 1232, a third mounting hole 1233 and a fourth mounting hole 1234, and the first mounting hole 1231, the second mounting hole 1232, the third mounting hole 1233 and the fourth mounting hole 1234 are each provided with three, the three first mounting holes 1231 and the three second mounting holes 1232 are respectively provided on both sides of the first axis 1221, and the three first mounting holes 1231 and the three second mounting holes 1232 are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the second axis 1222, and the spacing between any two adjacent first mounting holes 1231 is equal to the spacing between any two adjacent first mounting holes 1231 and the spacing between any two adjacent first mounting holes 1231 and the spacing between any two adjacent first mounting holes 1231 and the spacing between any two adjacent first mounting holes 1231 and the spacing between any two adjacent first mounting holes 1231 and the spacing between any two adjacent first mounting holes 1234. The spacing between the second mounting holes 1232 is equal, and the three third mounting holes 1233 and the three fourth mounting holes 1234 are respectively arranged on both sides of the second axis 1222, and the three third mounting holes 1233 and the three fourth mounting holes 1234 are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the first axis 1221. The spacing between any two adjacent third mounting holes 1233 is equal to the spacing between any two adjacent fourth mounting holes 1234. The first positioning column 1211 can be selectively installed at one of the first mounting holes 1231, the second positioning column 1212 can be selectively installed at one of the second mounting holes 1232, the third positioning column 1213 can be selectively installed at one of the third mounting holes 1233, and the fourth positioning column 1214 can be selectively installed at one of the fourth mounting holes 1234.

[0041] Specifically, when the first positioning post 1211 and the second positioning post 1212 are respectively installed at the first mounting hole 1231 and the second mounting hole 1232 with the smallest spacing, and the third positioning post 1213 and the fourth positioning post 1214 are respectively installed at the third mounting hole 1233 and the fourth mounting hole 1234 with the smallest spacing, the carrier 12 can be suitable for carrying products with a size of 13 inches. When the first positioning post 1211 is installed at the middle one of the three first mounting holes 1231, the second positioning post 1212 is installed at the middle one of the three second mounting holes 1232, and the third positioning post 1213 is installed at the three When the third mounting hole 1233 is located at the middle one and the fourth positioning column 1214 is installed at the middle one of the three fourth mounting holes 1234, the carrier 12 can be suitable for carrying products with a size between 13 inches and 15 inches. When the first positioning column 1211 and the second positioning column 1212 are respectively installed at the first mounting hole 1231 and the second mounting hole 1232 with the largest spacing, and the third positioning column 1213 and the fourth positioning column 1214 are respectively installed at the third mounting hole 1233 and the fourth mounting hole 1234 with the largest spacing, the carrier 12 can be suitable for carrying products with a size between 15 inches and 17 inches.

[0042] In addition, the positioning mechanism 2 is provided at the attachment station and includes a positioning module, a first driving member 22, a second driving member 23 and a third driving member 24, wherein the positioning module includes a first positioning block 2111, a second positioning block 2112, a third positioning block 2113 and a fourth positioning block 2114, the first positioning block 2111 and the second positioning block 2112 are symmetrically arranged about the third axis 2121, and the third positioning column 1213 and the fourth positioning column 1214 are symmetrically arranged about the fourth axis 2122 , the third axis 2121 is perpendicular to the fourth axis 2122. When the carrier 12 is located at the attachment station, the first axis 1221 coincides with the third axis 2121, and the second axis 1222 coincides with the fourth axis 2122. The first driving member 22 is configured to drive the positioning module to rise and fall in the vertical direction, so that the first positioning block 2111, the second positioning block 2112, the third positioning block 2113 and the fourth positioning block 2114 have the ability to drop to a position where they can avoid the carrier 12 when it moves along the conveyor line 11. The first working position of the carrier 12, and when the carrier 12 is at the attaching station, it rises to the second working position flush with the product placed on the carrier 12, and the second driving member 23 is configured to drive the first positioning block 2111 and the second positioning block 2112 to move relative to or opposite to each other, and correspondingly, the third driving member 24 is configured to drive the third positioning block 2113 and the fourth positioning block 2114 to move relative to or opposite to each other. When the first positioning block 2111, the second positioning block 2112, and the third positioning block 2114 are in the same position, the first positioning block 2111, the second positioning block 2112, and the third positioning block 2114 are in the same position. When 2113 and the fourth positioning block 2114 are in the second working position, the second driving member 23 can drive the first positioning block 2111 and the second positioning block 2112 to move relative to each other. At the same time, the third driving member 24 can drive the third positioning block 2113 and the fourth positioning block 2114 to move relative to each other, thereby centering the product and clamping the product between the first positioning block 2111, the second positioning block 2112, the third positioning block 2113 and the fourth positioning block 2114 to precisely position the product.

[0043] It can be understood that since the second driving member 23 can drive the first positioning block 2111 and the second positioning block 2112 to move relative to or away from each other, and the third driving member 24 can drive the third positioning block 2113 and the fourth positioning block 2114 to move relative to or away from each other, therefore, after the product is changed, the second driving member 23 can adjust the distance between the first positioning block 2111 and the second positioning block 2112 accordingly, and the third driving member 24 can adjust the distance between the third positioning block 2113 and the fourth positioning block 2114 accordingly, so that after the subsequent carrier 12 moves to the attachment station, the first positioning block 2111 and the second positioning block 2112 and the third positioning block 2113 and the fourth positioning block 2114 can adaptively perform centering operations on the changed product.

[0044] The second loading mechanism 3 is configured to supply auxiliary materials to the auxiliary material loading station, and the conveying mechanism 4 is configured to convey the auxiliary materials from the auxiliary material loading station to the attaching station, and attach the auxiliary materials to the product. From the above, since the positioning mechanism 2 can accurately position the product located at the attaching station, the conveying mechanism 4 can accurately attach the auxiliary materials to the product.

[0045] Based on the above, in this embodiment, the carrier 12 can be suitable for carrying products of various sizes, and the positioning mechanism 2 arranged at the attachment station can be suitable for precisely positioning products of different sizes, so that the auxiliary material attachment device can be suitable for auxiliary material attachment operations on products of various sizes, thereby improving the compatibility of the auxiliary material attachment device and reducing production costs.

[0046] It is worth noting that in this embodiment, a first avoidance hole 1241, a second avoidance hole 1242, a third avoidance hole 1243 and a fourth avoidance hole 1244 are provided on the carrier 12, and the first driving member 22 can drive the first positioning block 2111, the second positioning block 2112, the third positioning block 2113 and the fourth positioning block 2114 to rise, so that the first positioning block 2111, the second positioning block 2112, the third positioning block 2113 and the fourth positioning block 2114 pass through the first avoidance hole 1241, the second avoidance hole 1242, the third avoidance hole 1243 and the fourth avoidance hole 1244 respectively, thereby moving to the second working position suitable for clamping the product.

[0047] In addition, it is worth mentioning that in this embodiment, the conveyor line 11 is a double-layer circulation assembly line, so that the carrier 12 can be circulated and transported on the conveyor line 11. Specifically, the carrier 12 can receive products to be mounted with auxiliary materials at the product loading station, and move along the conveyor line 11 to the attachment station to mount auxiliary materials on the product. Afterwards, the carrier 12 can move along the conveyor line 11 to the product unloading station to unload the product, and then the carrier 12 rotates along the conveyor line 11 to the product loading station. It can be understood that since the specific structure of the double-layer circulation assembly line is the existing technology, this embodiment will not elaborate on it.

[0048] Furthermore, it should be noted that there are more than two attachment stations on the conveyor line 11, and each attachment station is correspondingly provided with a positioning mechanism 2, a second loading mechanism 3, and a transport mechanism 4. The carrier 12 can be moved to each attachment station in sequence, and different attachment stations are used to attach different auxiliary materials to the same product. In addition, there are more than two carriers 12 on the assembly line, and the two or more carriers 12 are arranged at intervals along the conveying direction of the conveyor line 11. For any attachment station, the two or more carriers 12 can be moved alternately to the attachment station, thereby improving the working efficiency of the auxiliary material attachment device.

[0049] From the above, for any attachment station, when the product moved to the attachment station completes the corresponding auxiliary material attachment operation, the second driving member 23 drives the first positioning block 2111 and the second positioning block 2112 to move oppositely, and the third driving member 24 drives the third positioning block 2113 and the fourth positioning block 2114 to move oppositely to release the product. After that, the first driving member 22 drives the positioning module to descend in the vertical direction, so that the carrier 12 carrying the product can continue to move downstream along the conveyor line 11. At the same time, the upstream carrier 12 can move along the conveyor line 11 to the attachment station.

[0050] For example, in this embodiment, the first driving member 22 can be a linear drive structure such as a pneumatic cylinder or an electric cylinder, and this is not specifically limited in this embodiment. In addition, the second driving member 23 and the third driving member 24 can both be a driving structure such as a stepper motor or a servo motor. The second driving member 23 is in transmission connection with the first positioning block 2111 and the second positioning block 2112, and the third driving member 24 is in transmission connection with the third positioning block 2113 and the fourth positioning block 2114. It is worth noting that the transmission structure between the second driving member 23 and the first positioning block 2111 and the second positioning block 2112, as well as the transmission structure between the third driving member 24 and the third positioning block 2113 and the fourth positioning block 2114 are both prior art and therefore will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0051] Furthermore, the first loading mechanism 1 also includes a first stop member 13 and a fourth drive member 14. The first stop member 13 is arranged on the downstream side of the attachment station along the conveying direction of the conveyor line 11, and the fourth drive member 14 is configured to drive the first stop member 13 to move in the vertical direction. When the carrier 12 moves along the conveyor line 11 to the attachment station, the fourth drive member 14 can drive the first stop member 13 to rise in the vertical direction, thereby stopping the carrier 12 at the attachment station to ensure that the carrier 12 can be accurately parked at the attachment station.

[0052] It is understandable that the fourth driving member 14 may be a linear driving structure such as a pneumatic cylinder or an electric cylinder, and this is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

[0053] Furthermore, the first loading mechanism 1 also includes a second stop 15, which is arranged on the upstream side of the attachment station along the conveying direction of the conveyor line 11. The second stop 15 can avoid the carrier 12 when the carrier 12 moves toward the attachment station, and can stop the carrier 12 on the side of the carrier 12 away from the first stop 13 along the conveying direction of the conveyor line 11 after the carrier 12 moves to the attachment station, that is, when the carrier 12 moves to the attachment station, the carrier 12 can be stopped between the first stop 13 and the second stop 15, thereby further ensuring that the carrier 12 can be accurately parked at the attachment station.

[0054] Based on the above, the second stopper 15 is a non-return component used in an assembly line. Since the specific structure and working principle of the second stopper 15 are both existing technologies, they will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0055] Furthermore, the conveying mechanism 4 includes a moving module 41 and a handling module 42, wherein the moving module 41 is configured to drive the handling module 42 to move, and the handling module 42 is configured to handle or release auxiliary materials, that is, the moving module 41 can drive the handling module 42 to move between the auxiliary material loading station and the attachment station, so that the handling module 42 can handle the auxiliary materials at the auxiliary material loading station and drive the auxiliary materials to move to the attachment station, and then the auxiliary materials can be attached to the product.

[0056] From the above, in addition to the size change caused by the product change, the size and / or shape of the auxiliary materials that need to be mounted on the product may also change, that is, the auxiliary materials will also change. In order to adapt to the changes in the auxiliary materials, in this embodiment, the auxiliary material attaching device also includes a replacement platform 5, and a plurality of loading positions 51 are provided on the replacement platform 5. All loading positions 51 can be used to place the handling module 42. The mobile module 41 is provided with a first joint 411, and the handling module 42 is provided with a second joint 421. The second joint 421 is detachably mounted on the first joint 411. The mobile module 41 can replace the handling module 42 installed thereon at the replacement platform 5 after the auxiliary material is changed, so that the conveying mechanism 4 can be suitable for carrying the auxiliary materials after the change, without replacing the entire conveying mechanism 4, thereby further reducing the production cost.

[0057] For example, six loading positions 51 are provided on the replacement platform 5 , and the six loading positions 51 are respectively used to place different types of handling modules 42 , thereby improving the compatibility of the transport mechanism 4 .

[0058] It can be understood that in this embodiment, the mobile module 41 is a robot. Of course, in other optional embodiments, the mobile module 41 can also be composed of a three-axis mobile module 41 and a rotating module. This embodiment does not impose any specific restrictions on this.

[0059] Based on the above, the first joint 411 can be plugged into the second joint 421. Specifically, the first joint 411 is provided with a plug post 4112, and the plug post 4112 is provided with a stop ball 41121 and an avoidance hole (not shown in the figure). The stop ball 41121 has a third working position retracted into the avoidance hole and a fourth working position extended out of the avoidance hole. Specifically, a spring (not shown in the figure) is installed in the avoidance hole, and the avoidance hole is connected to a vacuum pump (not shown in the figure) provided outside, so that a negative pressure environment can be formed in the avoidance hole, thereby enabling the stop ball 41121 to be converted from the fourth working position to the third working position. At the same time, the spring is compressed, and a plug hole 4213 is provided on the second joint 421. A accommodating hole (not shown in the figure) is provided on the hole wall of the plug post 4112. The plug post 4112 can be inserted into the plug post 4213. When the plug post 4112 is inserted into the plug post 4213, the negative pressure environment in the avoidance hole is released, and the stop ball 411 21 is converted from the third working position to the fourth working position under the action of the spring, and extends into the accommodating hole, thereby assembling the first joint 411 and the second joint 421 together. When the handling module 42 needs to be replaced, the mobile module 41 transports the handling module 42 to the loading position 51 corresponding to the handling module 42 on the replacement platform 5. Afterwards, the vacuum pump forms a negative pressure environment in the avoidance hole, thereby causing the stop ball 41121 to be converted from the fourth working position to the third working position, thereby separating the handling module 42 from the mobile module 41. Afterwards, the mobile module 41 moves to the handling module 42 corresponding to the replaced auxiliary material, and inserts the pin 4112 into the socket 4213 of the handling module 42. Then, the negative pressure environment in the avoidance hole is released, and the stop ball 41121 is converted from the third working position to the fourth working position under the action of the spring, and extends into the accommodating hole, thereby assembling the first joint 411 and the second joint 421 together.

[0060] It is worth noting that one of the first connector 411 and the second connector 421 is provided with at least two first positioning grooves 4111, and the other of the first connector 411 and the second connector 421 is provided with at least two fifth positioning columns 4211. When the first connector 411 and the second connector 421 are plugged in, at least two fifth positioning columns 4211 are inserted one by one into the at least two first positioning grooves 4111, thereby ensuring that when the first connector 411 and the second connector 421 are plugged in, the stop ball 41121 is opposite to the accommodating hole, thereby ensuring that the first connector 411 and the second connector 421 are accurately plugged in together.

[0061] It is also worth noting that, in this embodiment, the handling module 42 is a suction cup, a first air circuit (not shown in the figure) is provided on the first joint 411, and a second air circuit (not shown in the figure) is provided on the second joint 421. The second air circuit is connected to the adsorption hole of the suction cup (not shown in the figure). When the first joint 411 and the second joint 421 are plugged in, the first air circuit and the second air circuit are connected, so that the handling module 42 can absorb or release the auxiliary material. It can be understood that under the action of the first positioning groove 4111 and the fifth positioning column 4211, the first air circuit can be accurately connected to the second air circuit.

[0062] Moreover, one of the second connector 421 and the loading position 51 is provided with at least two second positioning grooves 4212, and the other of the second connector 421 and the loading position 51 is provided with at least two sixth positioning columns 511, and the at least two sixth positioning columns 511 are inserted one by one into the at least two second positioning grooves 4212, so that the handling module 42 placed at the loading position 51 can be accurately positioned, thereby ensuring that the first connector 411 can be more accurately plugged into the second connector 421 when replacing the handling module 42.

[0063] In addition, the auxiliary material attaching device also includes a first visual detection mechanism 61. Exemplarily, the first visual detection mechanism 61 is composed of a camera and other structures. The first visual detection mechanism 61 is installed on the moving module 41 and can move with the handling module 42. The first visual detection mechanism 61 is configured to measure the position of the auxiliary material located at the auxiliary material loading station, thereby ensuring that the handling module 42 can accurately carry the auxiliary material. Moreover, the first visual detection mechanism 61 is also configured to measure the position of the mounting area on the product, thereby ensuring that the handling module 42 can accurately mount the auxiliary material to the corresponding mounting area on the product.

[0064] In addition to the first visual inspection mechanism 61, the auxiliary material attaching device also includes a second visual inspection mechanism 62. Exemplarily, the first visual inspection mechanism 61 is composed of structures such as a camera, and the second visual inspection mechanism 62 is configured to measure the relative position of the handling module 42 and the auxiliary material it handles. Specifically, the moving module 41 can drive the handling module 42 to pass directly above the second visual inspection mechanism 62, so that the second visual inspection mechanism 62 can take a picture of it, and then measure the relative position of the handling module 42 and the auxiliary material it handles. From the above, the first visual inspection mechanism 61 can determine the position of the mounting area on the product. This embodiment can compare the relative position information of the handling module 42 and the auxiliary material it handles obtained by the second visual inspection mechanism 62 and the position information of the mounting area on the product obtained by the first visual inspection mechanism 61, so as to further ensure that the handling module 42 can accurately mount the auxiliary material to the corresponding mounting area on the product.

[0065] Moreover, the second visual inspection mechanism 62 is also configured to take a picture of the barcode on the replaced handling module 42 after the transport mechanism 4 replaces the handling module 42, thereby ensuring that the replaced handling module 42 corresponds to the modified auxiliary material.

[0066] Furthermore, the attaching station is provided with a light source 111 , which can emit a light beam toward the carrier 12 located at the attaching station, thereby ensuring that the first visual inspection mechanism 61 can accurately determine the position of the mounting area on the product.

[0067] In addition, it should be noted that the second feeding mechanism 3 is a feeder feeding device. Since the specific structure and working principle of the second feeding mechanism 3 are both existing technologies, they will not be described in detail in this embodiment.
