WIPO Patent Application WO/2022/151179
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an apparatus, a system and method for assembling a flexible ring-shaped workpiece to a device. The apparatus comprises a coupling component adapted to be coupled to a robot for operating the apparatus; a first gripper adapted to grip the workpiece already shaped into a predetermined shape, so that a first portion of the workpiece is allowed to be coupled to a driving part of the device with an operation of the robot; and a guiding component adapted to guide a second portion of the workpiece to a transmission part of the device in a case where the first portion is coupled to the driving part of the device. With the apparatus according to embodiments of the present disclosure, a flexible ring-shaped workpiece such as a belt can be automatically assembled by a robot to various devices. In this way, the flexible ring-shaped workpiece can be assembled faster and more accurately. Furthermore, the apparatus enables the flexible ring-shaped workpiece to be assembled in a robotized assembly line.
