Description
- 1. Technical Field
- Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to computer production, and particularly to a computer parts organizer, and assembly tray for assembling a computer.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- At present, a computer is assembled step by step at several workstations of an assembly line, and parts to be assembly at each workstation are stored at a feed preparation area near each workstation (refer to
FIG. 1 ). - However, large numbers of parts occupy much space on the assembly line. Thus, it is inconvenient for workers to feed and assemble the parts. Additionally, the user may make mistakes due to the crowded conditions. For example, in
FIG. 1 ,workstations - What is needed, therefore, is a system and method for assembling a computer with high efficiency.
-
FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a prior art of a method for assembling a computer; -
FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of one embodiment of a computer parts organizer for use with assembly of a computer of an exemplary embodiment; -
FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of one embodiment of an assembly tray for use with the computer parts organizer shown inFIG. 2 ; and -
FIG. 4 is a flowchart of one embodiment of a method for assembling a computer using the computer parts organizer shown inFIG. 2 . -
FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of one embodiment of a computer parts organizer 2 (hereinafter, “theparts organizer 2”) used for assembling a computer. In one embodiment, theparts organizer 2 includes one or moreseparated compartments 21. In one embodiment, aclip 22 may be installed on a lower part of a sidewall of theparts organizer 2. The sidewall has the longest edge of theparts organizer 2. Theclip 22 may be installed with abumper 23 on. The top corners of theparts organizer 2 are installed with ariveted framework 24 thereon. In other embodiments, additional or different kinds of clips may be used. - The
compartments 21 may be configured for storing different size parts. In this embodiment, the parts may include a motherboard, a CPU heat sink, a graphics card, an optical drive, a hard disk, and data buses for the optical drive and the hard disk. Thecompartments 21 of theparts organizer 2 may be separated by one or more removable isolation boards. It may be understood that quantities or sizes of thecompartments 21 are variable by adjusting the removable isolation boards based on varieties or sizes of parts to be stored, in order that each compartment stores one kind of part. - The
clip 22 connects theparts organizer 2 with an assembly tray 1 (refer toFIG. 3 ). Thebumper 23 is used for absorbing shock if there is a collision between theparts organizer 2 and other objects (e.g. a chassis to be assembled). In one embodiment, thebumper 23 may be made from an elastic material, such as a foam. Theriveted framework 24 is used for fixing/supporting the stacking of more than oneparts organizer 2. -
FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of one embodiment of theassembly tray 1 used cooperatively with theparts organizer 2 shown inFIG. 2 . In one embodiment, the surface of theassembly tray 1 may be divided into square grids, so as to improve a mechanical strength of theassembly tray 1. To prevent static electricity, the surface of theassembly tray 1 may be covered with an anti-static material. Theassembly tray 1 is connected with theparts organizer 2 by theclip 22. -
FIG. 4 is a flowchart of one embodiment of a method for assembling a computer using theparts organizer 2 shown inFIG. 2 . At workstation 1: The user places a chassis to be assembled on theassembly tray 1, puts each of the parts with large sizes into acorresponding compartment 21 of theparts organizer 2, in order that eachcompartment 21 stores one kind of part, and fixes theparts organizer 2 on theassembly tray 1, then the procedure goes to the next workstation. In one embodiment, the parts with large sizes include: a motherboard, a CPU heat sink, a graphics card, an optical drive, a hard disk, and data buses for the optical drive and the hard disk. The data bus for the optical device and the data bus for the hard disk are marked with different colors. For example, a color of the data bus for the optical device is green, and a color of the data bus for the hard disk is red. In one embodiment, theworkstation 1 is near to a part issuing warehouse storing the parts with large sizes so as to prepare all the parts with large sizes to be assembled. - At workstation 2: The user fetches a CPU and a memory from a feed preparation area near the
workstation 2, and installs the CPU and the memory on the motherboard placed in thecompartment 21 of theparts organizer 2. Because the CPU and memory are expensive and easy to be damaged, these kind of parts (i.e., expensive and easy to be damaged) would better stored at a special feed preparation area near the workstation. - At workstation 3: The user installs the motherboard on the chassis if the CPU and the memory have been installed on the motherboard.
- At workstation 4: The user fetches the CPU heat sink from the
compartment 21 of theparts organizer 2, and installs the CPU heat sink on the chassis. - At workstation 5: The user fetches the graphics card from the
compartment 21 of theparts organizer 2, and installs the graphics card on the chassis. - At workstation 6: The user fetches the optical drive from the
compartment 21 of theparts organizer 2, and installs the optical drive on the chassis. - At workstation 7: The user fetches the hard disk from the
compartment 21 of theparts organizer 2, and installs the hard disk on the chassis. - At workstation 8: The user fetches the data buses for the optical drive and the hard disk from the
compartment 21 of theparts organizer 2, and installs the data bus on the chassis. - At workstation 9: The user fetches side covers from a feed preparation area near the
workstation 9 if there is no part in thecompartment 21 of theparts organizer 2, and installs the side covers on the chassis thereby obtaining an assembled computer. - The kinds of the large parts stored in the
compartments 21 of theparts organizer 2 are variable according to a type of the computer to be assembly, the quantities and the sizes of thecompartments 21 of theparts organizer 2 are variable according to the kind of the large parts. - In other embodiments, the assembly sequences from
workstation 4 toworkstation 7 are variable according to the type of the computer to be assembled. - It should be emphasized that the above-described embodiments of the present disclosure, particularly, any embodiments, are merely possible examples of implementations, merely set forth for a clear understanding of the principles of the disclosure.
