Robot assembly system and assembly method and robot for connector assembly

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a robot assembly system for a connector assembly, an assembly method thereof, and a robot used, the connector assembly comprising: a housing part; a terminal piece installed into a receiving space defined in the housing part; and a light guide mounted to the terminal piece and extending into the space defined between the bulkheads in the housing components, the robotic assembly system comprising: a first assembly station configured for assembling a terminal piece and a light pipe to form a terminal piece subassembly; a second assembly station configured to assemble the terminal piece subassembly and the housing component to form a connector assembly; and a robot configured to operate at each assembly station Transfer housing components, light guides, terminal pieces or terminal piece subassemblies between them and assist in the assembly process at each assembly station. The robot assembly system of the present invention can automatically realize the assembly of connector components and improve production efficiency.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to a robot assembly system and assembly method and a robot for a connector assembly. Background technique [0002] There is a connector assembly in the prior art, which includes a housing part, a terminal part and a light pipe. The housing component includes an outer shell, a central vertical bulkhead, and two transverse bulkheads connected to each side of the central vertical bulkhead, the central vertical bulkhead and transverse bulkheads defining a plurality of accommodation spaces within the outer shell. There may be a plurality of terminal parts, and they are installed in corresponding accommodation spaces defined in the housing part. The light guide is mounted to the terminal piece and is located in the space defined between the bulkheads of the housing part when the terminal piece is mounted to the housing part. [0003] Connector assemblies of this configuration are typically of two types. One type...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] At present, the process of assembling the light guide and terminal pieces together to form a terminal piece subassembly and assembling the preliminary assembled terminal piece subassembly and housing parts to form a final connector assembly is carried out manually, and the entire assembly Process inefficiency; and, during assembly, terminal piece subassemblies, especially the light pipe and housing components, are prone to collision interference that can damage the light pipe
