Innovation Solution
A computer automatic assembly system that uses a database for storing part information, a device digestive module for photographing and transferring parts, and a robot arm for assembly, along with a device digestive module to write circuit information and provide necessary software, ensuring structural and electrical compatibility, and automating the assembly process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If manual assembly of computer parts is performed, then compatibility checking and initial setup can be done, but assembly time and complexity increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service assembly where the computer automatically performs compatibility checking, driver installation, and system configuration without human intervention. The automated assembly system captures part information, verifies compatibility, and configures the system autonomously, eliminating the need for manual compatibility checks and initial setup procedures.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical assembly operations with automated imaging and data processing systems. Instead of physically examining parts for compatibility, the system uses cameras to capture part information and automatically processes this data to verify compatibility and configure the system, substituting mechanical inspection with optical and computational methods.
2Reliability
If compatibility checking and initial setup are performed manually, then system reliability is ensured, but booting time and user burden increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs compatibility checking and configuration in advance during the assembly phase, before the system needs to boot. By capturing part information and verifying compatibility upfront, the system eliminates the need for repeated compatibility checks during booting, thereby reducing booting time while maintaining reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates a digital record (copy) of part information through imaging during assembly. This captured information is stored and used for compatibility verification, eliminating the need to physically re-examine parts during booting. The digital copy enables rapid verification without adding to booting time.
3Manufacturing precision
If specialized knowledge is required for assembly, then assembly precision is maintained, but ease of operation decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-service by automatically capturing part information, verifying compatibility, and configuring the system without requiring user expertise. The automated process handles complex compatibility checking and configuration tasks, enabling users with minimal knowledge to assemble systems accurately.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual inspection and configuration tasks with automated imaging and data processing. Instead of requiring users to manually verify compatibility and configure settings, the system uses cameras to capture part information and automatically processes this data, substituting expert manual operations with automated computational methods.
Data Source
AI summary
A computer automatic assembly system is proposed. The computer automatic assembly system includes: a database for storing information of an assembly and mounting area of a part combined to a mainboard, and program information such as information of a BIOS, a driving driver, and an operating system, and periodically updating the corresponding information through a communication part including a wired/wireless communication network; a device digestive module for checking the part through a photographing means, moving the checked part to the assembly and mounting area of the part provided on the mainboard through the photographing means and a robot arm for transfer, assembling, and mounting the part, and then writing a driving program and circuit information of the part; and an administrator terminal for periodically upgrading or updating part information necessary for the device digestive module by a part company server through a communication network including the wired/wireless communication network.
