Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by the person skilled in the art without making creative labor belong to the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0025] The implementation of the utility model will be described in detail below in combination with specific embodiments.

[0026] In the embodiment of the utility model, in combination with reference Figures 1-3 ​​As shown, a FFC automatic wiring device for vehicle display panel is provided. The device includes a mounting frame 1, on which a vision unit 2, a cover opening module 3 and an adsorption module 4 are arranged, wherein the adsorption module 4 is used to adsorb and fix the components to be connected. In addition, a mechanical hand 5 is also included, which integrates the vision unit 2, the cover opening module 3 and the adsorption module 4 through the mounting frame 1. In order to improve the automation degree and the connection accuracy of the device, the vision unit 2 is responsible for identifying and positioning the components to be connected, so as to ensure that the mechanical hand 5 can accurately perform the connection operation. The cover opening module 3 is used to automatically open and close the piano cover of the vehicle display panel, so that the mechanical hand 5 can perform the FFC connection work. The design of the whole device aims to realize the automatic and efficient FFC connection process, reduce manual operation, and improve production efficiency and connection quality.

[0027] In the patent application, the vision unit 2 includes a camera module 201 fixed on the mounting frame 1 through a first connecting plate 202, which ensures that the shooting range of the camera can accurately cover the connection points of the components to be connected. The vision unit 2 also includes a light source module 203 connected to the first connecting plate 202 through a second connecting plate 204 and positioned in front of the camera, and the illumination area of the light source module 203 matches the shooting range of the camera to ensure sufficient illumination and accuracy of image recognition.

[0028] The cover opening module 3 is a key component, which includes a power source 301, an opening and closing cover plate 302 and a flexible contact 303. The cover opening module 3 is connected to the mounting frame 1 through a third connecting plate 305, and the driving end is connected to the opening and closing cover plate 302 through a push rod 304 to drive the opening and closing cover plate 302 to move away or retract. The flexible contact 303 is arranged at the end of the opening and closing cover plate 302 and connected to the elastic body of the opening and closing cover plate 302, which has an arc-shaped toe and heel, and the instep part is responsible for kicking the piano cover in the trajectory operation of the opening and closing cover plate 302 in the moving away stage, and the heel part brings back the piano cover and flexibly touches and presses the piano cover to ensure closing in the retraction stage after the connection is completed.

After completing the insertion of the FFC, the opening and closing cover plate 302 drives the flexible contact 303 to move again under the drive of the power source 301. In the process of movement, the flexible contact 303 will contact the piano cover, extrude the elastic element arranged in the opening and closing cover plate 302, make the elastic element generate a rebound force, and then press the piano cover tightly. That is, in the pushing stage of the opening and closing cover plate 302, the flexible contact 303 picks up the piano cover; in the retraction stage, the heel of the flexible contact 303 brings back the piano cover, and the flexible contact presses to ensure that the piano cover is tightly closed. In other embodiments, the flexible contact 303 can be designed with a blowing hole, which not only assists in opening the piano cover, but also provides flexible selection under different material conditions, enhances the adaptability and use efficiency of the equipment. Through this design, the cover opening module 3 can provide a pneumatic opening mode in addition to the operation of the mechanical hand 5, as an effective supplementary means, to ensure that the opening and closing of the piano cover can be efficiently and stably completed under various operating conditions.

[0030] The third connecting plate 305 comprises a support plate 3051, and the cover opening module 3 is arranged above the support plate 3051, and the adsorption module 4 is arranged below the support plate 3051. Specifically, the adsorption module 4 is composed of an adsorption table, and a plurality of adsorption members and at least two mounting grooves are arranged on the adsorption table.
