[0322] The image acquisition unit 320 acquires image information and feeds it back to the central control unit;
[0323] The central control unit controls the movement of the first moving unit 210;
[0324] When the first moving unit 210 carries the first mounting unit 220 to the material picking position, the image acquisition unit 320 acquires the image information again and feeds it back to the central control unit.
[0325] The central control unit controls the gas supply delivery device so that the gas operates the second sliding element 256 through the fifth interface element 236, the fourth channel element 235, the sixth interface element 237, the seventh interface element 254, and the fifth channel element 253, so that the second sliding element 256 reciprocates along the axial direction of the first sliding element 252, thereby driving the fifth main element 255 and the third main element 241 to move, and finely adjusting the position of the third main element 241;
[0326] After fine-tuning, the central control unit controls the gas supply delivery device so that the gas passes through the second interface element 233, the second channel element 232, the third interface element 234, the fourth interface element 243, and the third channel element 242 to form a negative pressure in the second adsorption element 244, and the second adsorption element 244 adsorbs the second workpiece to be assembled.
[0327] After adsorption is complete, the central control unit moves the first moving unit 210.
[0328] When the first moving unit 210 carries the first mounting unit 220 to the assembly position, the second adsorption element 244 mounts the second workpiece to the first workpiece located at the positioning element 112;
[0329] After the second workpiece is assembled with the first workpiece, the central control unit controls the gas supply delivery device so that the gas passes through the second interface element 233, the second channel element 232, the third interface element 234, the fourth interface element 243, and the third channel element 242 to form a positive pressure in the second adsorption element 244, and the second adsorption element 244 releases the second workpiece.
[0330] After release, the central control unit controls the first moving unit 210 to move;
[0331] When the first moving unit 210 carries the first mounting unit 220 away from the assembly position, the central control unit controls the gas supply delivery device so that the gas passes through the first interface element 123 and the first channel element 122 to form a negative pressure in the first adsorption element 124, and the first adsorption element 124 releases the first workpiece.
[0332] Remove the first workpiece;
[0333] Repeat the above steps until all assembly processes are completed.
[0334] The technical effects of this embodiment are as follows:
[0335] 1) A sliding unit is set between the first mounting unit and the second adsorption unit. After the position of the second adsorption unit is coarsely adjusted, the position of the second adsorption unit can be finely adjusted by using the sliding unit, thereby adjusting the position of the second adsorption unit with higher precision.
