They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 10As shown, this embodiment discloses an assembly device for a vehicle-mounted camera lower cover and a PCB board, including a frame and a worktable and a tray loading / unloading mechanism 10 mounted on the frame. The worktable is equipped with a turntable assembly 1, a PCB board loading conveyor line 2, a PCB board moving assembly 3, a screw fastening mechanism 4, a robotic arm 5, a product moving assembly 6, a tray moving assembly 7, a dispensing mechanism 8, and an unloading conveyor line 9. Definitions: The left-right direction of the device is the X-axis, the front-back direction is the Y-axis, and the vertical direction is the Z-axis.

[0028] The turntable assembly 1 includes a turntable and a motor for driving the turntable to rotate. The turntable is equipped with four positioning fixtures, which correspond to the lower cover loading station 101, the PCB board loading station 102, the locking station 103, and the unloading station 104, respectively. The PCB board loading conveyor line 2 is located on the left side of the turntable and is opposite to the PCB board loading station 102, and the unloading conveyor line 9 is located on the right side of the turntable and is opposite to the unloading station 104.

[0029] The dispensing mechanism is used to apply adhesive to the lower cover of the camera. After the PCB board is placed on the lower cover of the camera after dispensing, the screw fastening mechanism locks the PCB board and the lower cover together. The robot moves the product formed by locking the PCB board and the lower cover together from the unloading station to the unloading conveyor line.

[0030] like Figure 7 The PCB board moving assembly 3 includes an X-axis moving mechanism 31, a Y-axis moving mechanism 32 mounted on the X-axis moving mechanism 31, and a lifting cylinder 33 mounted on the Y-axis moving mechanism 32. A vacuum suction cup 34 is mounted on the push rod of the lifting cylinder 33. The X-axis moving mechanism 31, the Y-axis moving mechanism 32, and the lifting cylinder 33 work together to drive the vacuum suction cup 34 to move left, right, back, forth, up, and down. The vacuum suction cup moves the PCB board on the PCB board feeding conveyor line 2 to the PCB board feeding station 102 on the turntable.

[0031] Specific examples Figure 10 Both the PCB board loading conveyor line 2 and the unloading conveyor line 9 include a lifting mechanism and two motor-driven conveyor belt assemblies 21 spaced apart from each other. Each conveyor belt assembly 21 includes multiple drive wheels and a conveyor belt wound around the multiple drive wheels. The lifting mechanism is located between the two conveyor belt assemblies 21 and includes a lifting cylinder 23 and a top plate 22 fixed to the lifting cylinder 23. When the PCB board moves on the conveyor belt above the top plate 22, the lifting cylinder 23 lifts the PCB board, and then the PCB board moving assembly 3 moves the PCB board on the top plate to the PCB board loading station 102 via a vacuum suction cup.

[0032] like Figure 9The product moving assembly 6 includes an X-axis moving mechanism 31, a lifting cylinder 62 mounted on the X-axis moving mechanism 31, and a vacuum suction cup 63 fixed on the lifting cylinder 62. The X-axis moving mechanism 31 and the lifting cylinder 62 work together to drive the vacuum suction cup 63 to move left, right, up, and down. By moving left, right, up, and down, the vacuum suction cup 63 moves the product (that is, the PCB board is fixed to the lower cover after glue dispensing) in the unloading station 104 on the turntable to the lifting mechanism of the unloading conveyor line 9. Then the lifting mechanism lowers the product onto the conveyor belt and transports it to the next process.

[0033] The pallet loading / unloading mechanism 10 is equipped with a pallet loading station 1001 and a pallet unloading station 1002. Both the pallet loading station 1001 and the pallet unloading station 1002 are equipped with lifting components, such as... Figure 3 The lifting assembly includes multiple lead screws 1003, a support plate 1004, and a motor 1005. The multiple lead screws 1003 are vertically arranged. The motor 1005 drives one of the lead screws 1003 to rotate. Each lead screw 1003 is connected to the support plate 1004 through a nut fitted on the lead screw 1003. The support plate 1004 is used to place the tray 100. The motor 1005 and the lead screws 1003 cooperate to adjust the height of the support plate 1004. Figure 4 Empty pallets are stacked on the pallet unloading station. 4.

[0034] The pallet unloading station is located to the right of the pallet loading station, such as... Figure 6 The pallet moving assembly 7 includes an X-axis moving mechanism 71, a lifting cylinder 72 mounted on the X-axis moving mechanism 71, and a frame 74 fixed on the lifting cylinder 72. A vacuum suction cup 73 is mounted on the frame 74. The X-axis moving mechanism 71 and the lifting cylinder 72 work together to drive the vacuum suction cup 73 to move left, right, up, and down.

[0035] The dispensing mechanism 8 is used to dispense adhesive onto the camera lower cover in the tray at the tray loading station. After dispensing, the tray is moved by the tray moving component 7 to the gripping position of the robot arm 5. The robot arm 5 grips the dispensed camera lower cover on the tray and places it into the positioning fixture at the lower cover loading station 101 of the turntable. The tray moving component 7 moves the empty tray to the tray unloading station. The turntable rotates the camera lower cover from the lower cover loading station 101 to the PCB board loading station 102. The PCB board moving component 3 grips the PCB board on the PCB board loading conveyor line 2 and places it into the lower cover of the PCB board loading station 102. Then, the turntable rotates the lower cover of the PCB board loading station 102 to the fastening station 103. The screw fastening mechanism 4 fastens the PCB board to the lower cover with screws. Then, the turntable rotates the product from the fastening station 103 to the unloading station 104. The product moving component 6 moves the product from the unloading station 104 to the unloading conveyor line 9.

[0036] In this process, trays containing camera covers are stacked to a certain height and placed on the pallet of the lifting component at the tray loading station. The pallet loading station uses the lifting component to raise the stacked trays to the gripping height of the tray moving component 7. Each time a tray is removed, the lifting component raises the pallet once, keeping the top tray at the gripping height of the pallet moving component 7. After the camera covers are removed from the trays, the pallet moving component 7 moves the empty trays to the pallet of the lifting component at the tray unloading station. Each time an empty tray is added, the pallet of the lifting component at the tray unloading station lowers once, stacking the empty trays on the pallet. The empty trays are then emptied by workers or other equipment.

[0037] like Figure 5 The dispensing mechanism 8 includes a dispensing bracket 81 and a three-axis moving mechanism mounted on the dispensing bracket 81. A dispensing valve and a glue tank are mounted on the three-axis moving mechanism. The three-axis moving mechanism consists of a Y-axis moving mechanism 82, an X-axis moving mechanism 83 mounted on the Y-axis moving mechanism 82, and a Z-axis moving mechanism 84 mounted on the X-axis moving mechanism 83. The dispensing valve 85 is mounted on the Z-axis moving mechanism 84. The three-axis moving mechanism drives the dispensing valve 85 to move left, right, forward, backward, up, and down.

[0038] like Figure 8 The screw fastening mechanism 4 includes an X-axis moving mechanism 41, a Y-axis moving mechanism 42 mounted on the X-axis moving mechanism 41, a Z-axis moving mechanism 43 mounted on the Y-axis moving mechanism 42, and an electric screwdriver 44 mounted on the Z-axis moving mechanism 43. The X-axis moving mechanism 41, the Y-axis moving mechanism 42, and the Z-axis moving mechanism 43 work together to drive the electric screwdriver 44 to move left, right, forward, backward, up, and down.

[0039] The X-axis moving mechanism, Y-axis moving mechanism, and Z-axis moving mechanism described in this embodiment are all existing technologies and can be linear modules, hydraulic cylinders, or pneumatic cylinders, etc.
