The invention provides an assembly machine for loading inner plugs in bottle caps. The assembly machine is used for pressing the inner plugs into the bottle caps. The assembly machine comprises a rack, a rotary disk mechanism, a bottle cap feeding mechanism, an inner plug feeding mechanism and a pressure pad mechanism used for pressing the inner plugs into the bottle caps. The rotary disk mechanism is arranged on the rack, the bottle cap feeding mechanism, the inner plug feeding mechanism and the pressure pad mechanism are respectively arranged on the rack and distributed around the rotary disk mechanism, the inner plug feeding mechanism comprises a feeding mechanism capable of feeding at least two inner plugs, a first air cylinder used for ejecting out the inner plugs and a manipulator for placing the ejected inner plugs in the bottle caps, the feeding mechanism is connected with the first air cylinder, and the manipulator is arranged on the rack. The inner plugs are made to ascend, stretch out, descend, be positioned and move back through the manipulator, and then the inner plugs are smoothly placed in the bottle caps. The inner plug placing method has the advantages of being fast, stable and the like, tests show that the rate of finished products can reach 99.99 percent, a complex mechanical transmission structure is avoided for the structure of the assembly machine, the reliability is improved, and the work process is fully automatic.
