The first sliding sleeves 406 are slidably connected to the first slide rails 405. A headrest pressure head 407 for fixing the headrest is fixedly connected to the gripper base plate 402. The gripper base plate 402 is equipped with a vision positioning component 6 and a force measuring component 8. The robot 3 replaces manual labor to complete the gripping, installation and inspection operations, which greatly reduces labor costs. At the same time, the robot 3 has a stable operating speed and strong continuous operation capability, which significantly improves the installation efficiency of the headrest and guide sleeve, and is suitable for the needs of large-scale assembly line production.

[0017] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the control system 7 is connected to the MES system. The control system 7 can receive the seat information transmitted by the MES system and automatically call the corresponding assembly program. According to the information, the corresponding assembly program is automatically called. At the same time, the robot 3, the vision positioning component 6, the force measuring component 8 and the conveying component 1 work together to realize the full-process automated control.

[0018] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the base 2 is formed by welding square tube and Q235 steel plate. The parallelism of the upper and lower surfaces of the welded base 2 is processed to within 0.2mm. The base 2 provides a stable and high-precision installation foundation for the robot 3, avoiding deviation of the robot 3 due to insufficient precision of the base 2.

[0019] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the visual positioning component 6 includes a camera bracket 601. The camera bracket 601 is fixedly connected to the gripper base plate 402. A visual camera 602 is installed on the camera bracket 601. A supplementary light 603 is installed at the bottom of the camera bracket 601 to supplement the ambient light for shooting, avoid insufficient light affecting image clarity, and ensure visual positioning accuracy. The visual camera 602 is a 2D camera. The visual camera 602 is electrically connected to the control system 7 to provide positioning guidance for the robot 3 and ensure accurate gripping and installation positions.

[0020] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the force measuring component 8 includes a cylinder 801. The cylinder 801 is fixedly connected to the gripper base plate 402. A sensor 802 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the cylinder 801. A fixed base 803 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the sensor 802. A force measuring sliding plate 804 is fixedly connected to the fixed base 803. The headrest to be measured is placed on the force measuring sliding plate 804. Two second sliding sleeves 805 are fixedly connected to the force measuring sliding plate 804. Two second slide rails 806 are fixedly connected to the gripper base plate 402. The second sliding sleeves 805 and the second slide rails 806 are slidably connected. The force measuring component 8 is used to collect the headrest pull-out force data in real time and transmit the data to the control system 7.

[0021] In use, after starting the equipment, the conveying component 1 transports the microcar seat to be assembled to the working area of ​​the robot 3, triggering the workstation sensor 802 to send a signal to the control system 7. The control system 7 receives the headrest and guide sleeve specification information corresponding to the seat model from the MES system, automatically calls the matching assembly program and detection parameters, turns on the supplementary light 603 of the vision positioning component 6, and the vision camera 602 captures the image of the guide sleeve storage location, transmits it to the control system 7 to analyze the guide sleeve coordinates, and the control system 7 instructs the robot 3 to drive the gripping and installation mechanism 4 to move to the guide sleeve. The hydraulic rod 403 extends to drive the electric gripping finger 404 to clamp the guide sleeve. At this time, the first sliding sleeve 406 slides along the first sliding rail 405 to ensure a stable gripping process. The robot 3 moves the guide sleeve to the seat guide sleeve installation station, and the vision camera 602 captures the image of the seat installation hole again. After correcting the positional deviation, the robot 3 adjusts its posture to accurately press the guide sleeve into the installation hole, completing the guide sleeve installation. The robot 3 moves the gripping and installation mechanism 4 to the headrest storage area, where the headrest pressure head 407 fixes the headrest. After the vision camera 602 locates the headrest position, the robot 3 moves the headrest to the seat headrest installation station and precisely inserts it into the guide sleeve to complete the headrest assembly. After the headrest is installed, the force measuring component 8 is activated, and the cylinder 801 extends to move the sensor 802, the fixed seat 803, and the force measuring sliding plate 804. The force measuring sliding plate 804 pulls the headrest, and the second sliding sleeve 805 slides along the second sliding rail 806 to ensure the stability of the pulling force direction. The sensor 802 collects the pulling force data in real time and transmits it to the control system 7. The control system 7 compares the data with the preset standard. If the test data is qualified, the control system 7 instructs the conveying component 1 to move the seat to the next production process. If the data is unqualified, the control system 7 triggers an audible and visual alarm and displays the unqualified item on the display screen, prompting the operator to check the headrest installation. After the problem is resolved, the re-inspection process can be manually triggered. The operator can also stop the equipment in an emergency using the button mechanism 5.
