[0002] With the development of the times, industrial production technology is also developing rapidly, and automated equipment is being used more and more in industrial production. At present, mobile phones need to pick up components to be assembled during the assembly process. In order to ensure the efficiency of assembly, two picking positions are usually set on a picking device to pick up two different components, which reduces the time for picking up materials back and forth. However, there is a problem with the above picking method. When two different components are placed on the picking position, there will be a certain error in the positions of the two components. At present, the positions of the two picking positions on a picking device are fixed. In this way, when the position between the two components deviates from the standard position, it is impossible to pick up two components at the same time in one picking. Often, after picking up a component, it is necessary to adjust the position of the picking mechanism and then pick up the material to pick up two components. In this way, the efficiency of picking up materials will be reduced, which lacks competitiveness in the industrial field that emphasizes cost reduction and efficiency improvement, and is not conducive to large-scale promotion and industrialized production.
