[0027] Before describing the embodiments of the present invention in detail, we will first describe the application environment of the present invention. The technology of the present invention is primarily applied in the field of assembly equipment technology. The present invention is designed to address the problem that existing electronic product assembly processes require the belt line to be stopped at the assembly station before assembly can begin, resulting in low operational efficiency and, consequently, low production efficiency.

[0028] Please combine Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the utility model provides an assembly line tracking device.

[0029] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the assembly line tracking device includes: a conveying mechanism 1 for transporting a tray 2, on which a product 201 and a component to be assembled 202 are loaded; a transfer assembly mechanism including a transfer module 3 and an assembly module 4, wherein the transfer module 3 is used to drive the assembly module 4 to move, and the assembly module 4 is used to extract the component to be assembled 202 on the tray 2 and assemble the component to be assembled 202 with the product 201; a detection element 5 is provided on the conveying mechanism 1, and the detection element 5 is used to detect a signal of the tray 2 on the conveying mechanism 1; a speed measuring element 6 is electrically connected to the detection element 5, The speed measuring element 6 is used to detect the transmission speed of the conveying mechanism 1; the visual module is arranged on the conveying mechanism 1, and the visual module includes a first visual module 7 and a second visual module 8. The first visual module 7 is used to take pictures to locate the extraction position of the to-be-assembled component 202 on the material tray 2 and the assembly position of the to-be-assembled component 202 and the product 201, and the second visual module 8 is used to identify the position of the to-be-assembled component 202 extracted on the assembly module 4; the control module 9 is electrically connected to the speed measuring element 6 and the visual module, and the control module 9 is used to control the transfer assembly mechanism to track and assemble the to-be-assembled component 202 and the product 201.

[0030] In this embodiment, the detection element 5 detects the inflow signal of the material tray 2 on the conveying mechanism 1. When the detection element 5 detects the inflow signal of the material tray 2, the speed measuring element 6 starts to record data and calculates the transmission speed of the conveying mechanism 1; the first visual module 7 takes a picture of the product 201 on the material tray 2 to determine the extraction position of the to-be-assembled component 202 on the material tray 2 and the assembly position of the to-be-assembled component 202 on the product 201; the transfer module 3 drives the assembly module 4 to move, and extracts the to-be-assembled component 202 on the material tray 2. After the extraction is completed, the assembly module 4 is driven to move to the second visual module 8. The second visual module 8 identifies the position and angle of the to-be-assembled component 202 extracted on the assembly module 4. The control module 9 controls the transfer module 3 and the conveying mechanism 1 to move synchronously according to the transmission speed of the conveying mechanism 1 calculated by the speed measuring element 6. The control module 9 combines the assembly position on the product 201 captured by the first visual module 7 and the position of the to-be-assembled component 202 on the assembly module 4 captured by the second visual module 8 to align the to-be-assembled component 202 with the assembly position on the product 201 and assemble them. Through the technical solution shown in this application, the conveying mechanism 1 does not need to stop and wait at the assembly station. The transfer assembly mechanism moves synchronously with the conveying mechanism 1, so that the transfer assembly mechanism and the product 201 on the conveying mechanism 1 are relatively stationary, thereby realizing that the assembly line does not stop. The transfer assembly mechanism tracks the product 201 on the assembly line for assembly operations, effectively improving the assembly efficiency, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0031] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the assembly module 4 includes an extraction component 401 and a pressing component 402 . The extraction component 401 is used to extract the component to be assembled 202 on the tray 2 , and the pressing component 402 is used to press and fix the component to be assembled 202 and the product 201 .

[0032] In this embodiment, the component to be assembled 202 is a PCB board with gold fingers. The extraction component 401 is used to grab the component to be assembled 202 on the material tray 2 and release the component to be assembled 202 to the assembly position on the product 201, and then press the component to be assembled 202 through the pressing component 402, so that the component to be assembled 202 is engaged with the buckle on the product 201, thereby completing the assembly.

[0033] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the extracting component 401 is a gripper cylinder.

[0034] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the pressing component 402 is a strip-shaped pressing block.

[0035] In this embodiment, the pressing component 402 adopts a strip-shaped pressing block, thereby increasing the contact area between the pressing component 402 and the component to be assembled 202, so that the component to be assembled 202 is evenly stressed, avoiding uneven force resulting in unqualified assembly of the component to be assembled 202 and the product 201 or damage to the component to be assembled 202.

[0036] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the cross section of the pressing component 402 is L-shaped.

[0037] In this embodiment, since a gold finger is provided at one end of the component to be assembled 202 along the width direction, after the gold finger is aligned and assembled with the product 201, it is only necessary to press and snap fit the other end of the component to be assembled 202 along the width direction with the product 201 to complete the assembly. Therefore, by setting the pressing component 402 as a pressing block with an "L"-shaped cross-section, the pressing component 402 only contacts one end of the component to be assembled 202 along the width direction, thereby completing the snap-fit ​​assembly of the component to be assembled 202 and the product 201.

[0038] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the transfer module 3 is a robotic arm module.

[0039] It is worth noting that the transfer module 3 can also be a three-axis transfer module 3.

[0040] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the detection element 5 is a through-beam sensor, and the detection element 5 is disposed at the starting end of the conveying mechanism 1 along the transmission direction.

[0041] In this embodiment, the tray 2 loaded with the product 201 flows into the conveying mechanism 1 , and the detection element 5 can detect the product 201 signal, thereby feeding the signal back to the system, and the system controls the speed measuring element 6 to detect the transmission speed of the conveying mechanism 1 .

[0042] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the speed measuring element 6 is a contact encoder, and the speed measuring element 6 is arranged at the end of the conveying mechanism 1 along the transmission direction.

[0043] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, a bracket 101 is provided on one side of the conveying mechanism 1 along the width direction, the bracket 101 is located at the starting end of the conveying mechanism 1 along the transmission direction, the first visual module 7 is arranged on the bracket 101, and the second visual module 8 is arranged on one side of the conveying mechanism 1 along the width direction.

[0044] In this embodiment, the first vision module 7 is positioned above the conveying mechanism 1 by means of the bracket 101, so that the extraction position of the component to be assembled 202 in the material tray 2 on the conveying mechanism 1 and the assembly position on the product 201 can be photographed and determined; after the assembly module 4 extracts the component to be assembled 202, the transfer module 3 drives the assembly module 4 to move above the second vision module 8, and the second vision module 8 takes photos to determine the position and angle of the component to be assembled 202 extracted on the assembly module 4.

[0045] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the bracket 101 is an “L”-shaped bracket 101 .

[0046] Working principle: The detection element 5 detects the flow signal of the material tray 2 on the conveying mechanism 1. When the detection element 5 detects the flow signal of the material tray 2, the speed measuring element 6 starts to record data and calculates the transmission speed of the conveying mechanism 1; the first visual module 7 takes a picture of the product 201 on the material tray 2 to determine the extraction position of the to-be-assembled component 202 on the material tray 2 and the assembly position of the to-be-assembled component 202 on the product 201; the transfer module 3 drives the assembly module 4 to move, and extracts the to-be-assembled component 202 on the material tray 2. After the extraction is completed, the assembly module 4 is driven to move to the second visual module 8. The second visual module 8 identifies the position and angle of the to-be-assembled component 202 extracted on the assembly module 4. The control module 9 controls the transfer module 3 and the conveying mechanism 1 to move synchronously according to the transmission speed of the conveying mechanism 1 calculated by the speed measuring element 6, and the control module 9 combines the assembly position on the product 201 collected by the first visual module 7 and the position of the to-be-assembled component 202 on the assembly module 4 collected by the second visual module 8 to align the to-be-assembled component 202 with the assembly position on the product 201 for assembly. Through the technical solution shown in this application, the conveying mechanism 1 does not need to stop and wait at the assembly station. The transfer assembly mechanism moves synchronously with the conveying mechanism 1, so that the transfer assembly mechanism and the product 201 on the conveying mechanism 1 are relatively stationary, thereby realizing that the assembly line does not stop. The transfer assembly mechanism tracks the product 201 on the assembly line for assembly operations, effectively improving the assembly efficiency, thereby improving production efficiency.
