[0030] The assembly apparatus 100 for an electronic product production line according to an embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] Reference Figures 1 to 3 According to an embodiment of the present invention, an assembly apparatus 100 for an electronic product production line includes: a first positioning component 10 and a first robotic arm 20.

[0032] The first positioning component 10 is provided with a first positioning part 11, which is used to position the glass piece 200 with the ribbon cable 201. The first robotic arm 20 is provided with an end effector 21, which is used to position the protective cover 202 and to move the protective cover 202 to the connecting ribbon cable 201.

[0033] The first positioning component 10 is partially structured as a first positioning part 11. A glass component 200 is connected to the first positioning part 11, and the glass component 200 is fixed. A ribbon cable 201 is fixed to the glass component 200. The end effector 21 of the first robotic arm performs the transfer task. The end effector 21 is connected to the protective cover 202. Moving the protective cover 202 moves the protective cover 202 to the point where the ribbon cable 201 is connected.

[0034] In the manufacturing of modern electronic products, such as smartphones, smartwatches, and tablets, the internal structure often includes multiple ribbon cables and protective covers. These components need to be precisely fixed in predetermined positions during product assembly. Ribbon cables are typically used to connect circuits or transmit signals, while protective covers mainly serve to shield against electromagnetic interference, protect internal circuits, and improve overall stability.

[0035] However, in most production lines, the fixing of these cables and covers still relies on manual operation. Due to the inherent errors in manual operation, the fixing accuracy is low, easily leading to poor assembly and affecting product performance and quality. Furthermore, manual operation is relatively inefficient, typically requiring a considerable amount of time to position and fix the cables and covers, which reduces overall production efficiency and increases production costs.

[0036] In this embodiment of the utility model, by setting the first robotic arm 20 to move the protective cover 202, manual labor is reduced and the degree of automation is improved, thereby improving accuracy and pass rate, while reducing working time, improving efficiency and reducing costs.

[0037] Specifically, the glass component 200 is the surface material of the touch screen or display screen on the electronic product, the ribbon cable 201 is pre-installed on the glass component 200, and the protective cover 202 is subsequently installed to connect the ribbon cable 201.

[0038] Specifically, the first positioning part 11 can adsorb the glass piece 200 or clamp the glass piece 200, thereby positioning the glass piece 200.

[0039] Specifically, the end effector 21 can adsorb the cover 202 or clamp the cover 202 to position the cover 202.

[0040] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the assembly device 100 of the electronic product production line uses a first robotic arm 20 to transfer the protective cover 202, thereby reducing manual labor, reducing errors, improving the fixing accuracy, improving the situation of poor assembly, reducing the positioning and fixing time of the wiring 201 and the protective cover 202, improving production efficiency and reducing costs.

[0041] Reference Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, the assembly apparatus 100 of the electronic product production line further includes: a second positioning component 30, the second positioning component 30 having a second positioning part 31, the second positioning part 31 being used to position the protective cover 202, and the first robotic arm 20 transferring the protective cover 202 from the second positioning part 31 to the first positioning component 10.

[0042] Among them, part of the structure of the second positioning component 30 is the second positioning part 31, which is used to position the protective cover 202. The first robotic arm 20 picks up the protective cover 202 from the second positioning part 31 and transfers the protective cover 202 from the second positioning part 31 to the first positioning component 10.

[0043] In the above scheme, by setting the second positioning component 30 and using the second positioning component 30 to position the protective cover 202, it can be understood that in the continuous production process, multiple protective covers 202 are fixed in the same position, which facilitates the picking up by the first robotic arm 20, simplifies the control difficulty, and reduces the implementation difficulty.

[0044] Specifically, the second positioning part 31 can adsorb the protective cover 202 or clamp the protective cover 202, thereby positioning the protective cover 202.

[0045] In some embodiments, the second positioning part 31 is configured as a second adsorption port, which is used to adsorb the protective cover 202.

[0046] The second positioning part 31 is configured as a second adsorption port, which generates a negative pressure space to adsorb the protective cover 202 and fix the protective cover 202 without damage.

[0047] In the above scheme, the second positioning part 31 is configured as the second suction port, and the second suction port is used to adsorb the protective cover 202. While fixing the protective cover 202, the protective cover 202 is not damaged, and the area around the protective cover 202 can be empty, which makes it convenient for the first robotic arm 20 to pick up the protective cover 202.

[0048] In some embodiments, the second positioning component 30 includes a second positioning body and a push cylinder.

[0049] The second positioning part 31 is provided on the second positioning body, and the second positioning body is also provided with an abutting part. A pushing cylinder is provided on the second positioning body, and the output end of the pushing cylinder is adapted to push the glass piece 200 to the abutting part, so that the glass piece 200 is connected to the first positioning part 11.

[0050] The second positioning part 31 is located on the second positioning body, and the push cylinder is located on the second positioning body. The output end of the push cylinder pushes the glass part 200 to move, so that the glass part 200 moves to the abutting part. At this time, the glass part 200 is located at the position corresponding to the first positioning part 11, and the first positioning part 11 positions the glass part 200.

[0051] In the above solution, by setting a push cylinder on the second positioning body, the push cylinder pushes the glass part 200, so that the glass part 200 automatically moves to the position corresponding to the first positioning part 11, reducing manual operation and improving efficiency.

[0052] Specifically, the abutting part is the side of the second positioning body, which abuts against the glass piece 200, preventing the glass piece 200 from moving further and thus stopping at the position corresponding to the first positioning part 11.

[0053] In some embodiments, the end effector 21 is configured as a vacuum adsorption port, which is used to adsorb the protective cover 202.

[0054] The end effector is constructed as a vacuum suction port, which generates a negative pressure space. The vacuum suction port is used to suction the protective cover 202 and the non-destructive fixing cover 202.

[0055] In the above scheme, by setting a vacuum adsorption port to adsorb the protective cover 202, the probability of the protective cover 202 being damaged is reduced. The protective cover 202 is fixed while avoiding damage to the protective cover 202, and the area around the protective cover 202 can be empty, which makes it convenient for the first robotic arm 20 to pick up the protective cover 202.

[0056] In other embodiments, the end effector 21 is configured as a gripper that holds the protective cover 202, which facilitates use.

[0057] Reference Figures 1 to 4 In some embodiments, the first robotic arm 20 includes a first claw 22 and a second claw 23.

[0058] The first claw 22 is provided with a first vacuum adsorption port 221. The second claw 23 is provided with a second vacuum adsorption port 231, and the second vacuum adsorption port 231 and the first vacuum adsorption port 221 are located on different planes.

[0059] The first vacuum adsorption port 221 is located on the first claw 22, and the second vacuum adsorption port 231 is located on the second claw 23. The first vacuum adsorption port 221 and the second vacuum adsorption port 231 are located at different positions, the adsorption cover 202 is located at different positions, and the first vacuum adsorption port 221 and the second vacuum adsorption port 231 are located on different planes. The first robotic arm 20 is adapted to the non-planar cover 202.

[0060] In the above scheme, by setting the first vacuum adsorption port 221 and the second vacuum adsorption port 231 to be located on different planes, it can be understood that the first vacuum adsorption port 221 and the second vacuum adsorption port 231 have a height difference. The first vacuum adsorption port 221 and the second vacuum adsorption port 231 adsorb planes of different heights on the protective cover 202, thereby adapting to the protective cover 202 and improving adaptability.

[0061] In some embodiments, the first robotic arm 20 is configured as a six-axis robotic arm.

[0062] The six-axis robot can achieve complex assembly trajectories. To meet different assembly needs, the end effector 21 can be replaced.

[0063] In the above scheme, the first robotic arm 20 is set as a six-axis robotic arm. Taking advantage of the good modification space of the six-axis robotic arm, the end effector 21 can be replaced to adapt to the needs of various working conditions, thereby improving adaptability.

[0064] In some embodiments, the first positioning component 10 includes: a first positioning body and an overmolding pressure head.

[0065] The first positioning part 11 is disposed on the first positioning body. The rubber-coated pressure head is movably disposed on the first positioning body and is adapted to abut against the ribbon cable 201.

[0066] The first positioning part 11 and the rubber-coating pressure head are both set on the first positioning body. The rubber-coating pressure head presses against the ribbon cable 201 and is used to press the ribbon cable 201.

[0067] In the above solution, the rubber-coated pressure head is used to press the ribbon cable 201 to prevent the ribbon cable 201 from deforming during locking, so that the ribbon cable 201 is stable on the first positioning body, thereby protecting the ribbon cable 201.

[0068] Specifically, the head of the rubber-coated pressure head is provided with adhesive, and the rubber-coated pressure head makes flexible contact with the ribbon cable 201 to avoid damaging the ribbon cable 201.

[0069] Reference Figures 1 to 5 In some embodiments, the assembly apparatus 100 of the electronic product production line further includes a feeder 40 and a second robotic arm 50.

[0070] The feeder 40 is provided with a feed port 41, which is used to place the threaded parts. The cover 202 is provided with a first hole 2021, and the cable tray 201 is provided with a second hole 2011. The second robot arm 50 is adapted to move the threaded parts into the first hole 2021 and the second hole 2011.

[0071] The feeder 40 is used to supply threaded parts, such as screws or bolts. The cover 202 has a first hole 2021, and the cable tray 201 has a second hole 2011. The first hole 2021 corresponds to the second hole 2011. Bolts are inserted into the first hole 2021 and the second hole 2011, connecting the cover 202 and the cable tray 201. The second robotic arm 50 is used to transfer the threaded parts from the feeder 40 to the first hole 2021 and the second hole 2011.

[0072] In the above scheme, by setting up a second robotic arm 50 to transfer the threaded parts, the threaded parts are used to fasten the cable 201 and the protective cover 202, and the protective cover 202 is fixed on the cable 201, which further improves the degree of automation, facilitates assembly, reduces manual operation, and improves accuracy.

[0073] In some embodiments, the second robotic arm 50 is configured as a four-axis robotic arm.

[0074] Among them, the four-axis robot can fully pick up the threaded parts and transfer them to the first hole position 2021 and the second hole position 2011, giving full play to the performance of the four-axis robot.

[0075] In the above solution, by setting the second robotic arm 50 as a four-axis robotic arm, the characteristics of the four-axis robotic arm are used to pick up and transfer the threaded parts, which avoids waste, improves utilization, and reduces overall cost.
