In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish in the description and have no special meaning.

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, this embodiment provides an assembly device, which includes a conveyor belt assembly 1, a processing mechanism 2, a turntable 3 and a nozzle mechanism 4, wherein the conveyor belt assembly 1 includes a top cover conveyor belt 11 and a perforated plate conveyor belt 12, the top cover conveyor belt 11 and the perforated plate conveyor belt 12 are respectively used to convey the top cover and the perforated plate; the processing mechanism 2 is located downstream of the conveyor belt assembly 1, and the processing mechanism 2 is used to hem, rivet and weld the top cover and the perforated plate; the turntable 3 is located between the conveyor belt assembly 1 and the processing mechanism 2, and the turntable 3 is used to receive the top cover on the top cover conveyor belt 11 and the perforated plate on the perforated plate conveyor belt 12; The nozzle mechanism 4 is used to remove the top cover on the top cover conveyor belt 11 and the orifice plate on the orifice plate conveyor belt 12 and place them on the turntable 3. The nozzle mechanism 4 includes a driving motor 41, a transmission gear assembly 42, a top cover nozzle transmission assembly 43 and a orifice plate nozzle transmission assembly 44. The driving motor 41 is connected to the transmission gear assembly 42, and the top cover nozzle transmission assembly 43 and the orifice plate nozzle transmission assembly 44 are both connected to the transmission gear assembly 42. The driving motor 41 is configured to be able to simultaneously drive the top cover nozzle transmission assembly 43 and the orifice plate nozzle transmission assembly 44 to move through the transmission gear assembly 42.

[0038] The driving motor 41 in the assembly equipment is connected to the top cover nozzle transmission assembly 43 and the orifice plate nozzle transmission assembly 44 through the transmission gear assembly 42, so that the driving motor 41 can simultaneously drive the top cover nozzle transmission assembly 43 and the orifice plate nozzle transmission assembly 44 to move through the transmission gear assembly 42, thereby realizing the effect of using one driving motor 41 to simultaneously drive the top cover nozzle transmission assembly 43 and the orifice plate nozzle transmission assembly 44, thereby reducing the cost of the entire equipment.

[0039] Specifically, the transmission gear assembly 42 includes a transmission gear set 421 and a connecting shaft 422. The driving motor 41 is driven and connected to the connecting shaft 422 through the transmission gear set 421. One end of the connecting shaft 422 is connected to the top cover nozzle transmission assembly 43, and the other end is connected to the orifice plate nozzle transmission assembly 44. In this embodiment, the transmission gear set 421 includes a first gear and a second gear. The first gear is driven and connected to the output end of the driving motor 41. The second gear is fixedly sleeved on the connecting shaft 422. The first gear and the second gear are meshed and driven.

Through the cooperation of the lead screw and the nut, the rotation of the lead screw is converted into the linear movement of the nut, thereby making the top cover nozzle 431 and the orifice plate nozzle 441 move linearly, so that the top cover on the top cover conveyor belt 11 and the orifice plate on the orifice plate conveyor belt 12 are transferred to the turntable 3. It should be noted that, in actual operation, the orifice plate is first placed on the turntable 3, and then the top cover is placed on the orifice plate, so as to achieve overlapping placement of the orifice plate and the top cover to facilitate subsequent edging, riveting and welding of the orifice plate and the top cover.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, the processing mechanism 2 includes an edge-binding component 21, which is located downstream of the turntable 3, and is used to edge the top cover and the orifice plate; a riveting component 22 is located downstream of the edge-binding component 21, and is used to rivet the top cover and the orifice plate; a welding component 23 is located downstream of the riveting component 22, and is used to weld the top cover and the orifice plate.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, the processing mechanism 2 also includes a finger cylinder group 24, which is used to remove the top cover and the orifice plate from the turntable 3 and place them in turn on the hemming assembly 21, the riveting assembly 22 and the welding assembly 23.

[0043] Specifically, the finger cylinder group 24 includes a first finger cylinder, a second finger cylinder, a third finger cylinder and a fourth finger cylinder. The first finger cylinder is used to place the top cover and the orifice plate on the turntable 3 under the hemming assembly 21 for hemming, the second finger cylinder is used to place the top cover and the orifice plate under the hemming assembly 21 under the riveting assembly 22 for riveting, the third finger cylinder is used to place the top cover and the orifice plate under the riveting assembly 22 under the welding assembly 23 for welding, and the fourth finger cylinder is used to clamp the top cover and the orifice plate under the welding assembly 23.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, the assembly equipment further includes a material receiving box 5, which is located downstream of the processing mechanism 2, and is used to collect the products of the top cover and the orifice plate assembly.

[0045] like Figure 1As shown, the assembly equipment also includes a storage platform 6, which is located upstream of the conveyor belt assembly 1, and the storage platform 6 is used to store top covers and orifice plates. Specifically, the storage platform 6 includes a top cover storage platform 61 and an orifice plate storage platform 62, and the top cover storage platform 61 and the orifice plate storage platform 62 are used to store top covers and orifice plates respectively.

[0046] The specific processing process of the assembly equipment is as follows: the top cover and the orifice plate are respectively conveyed to the ends of the top cover conveyor belt 11 and the orifice plate conveyor belt 12, the orifice plate suction nozzle 441 adsorbs the orifice plate and places it on the turntable 3, the turntable 3 rotates clockwise, and when it rotates close to the top cover conveyor belt 11, the top cover suction nozzle 431 adsorbs the top cover and places it on the upper part of the orifice plate, and the two rotate together to be close to the edge wrapping component 21, and the top cover and the orifice plate are clamped by the finger cylinder group 24 and placed under the edge wrapping component 21, and the finger cylinder group 24 includes a first finger cylinder, a second finger cylinder, and a third finger cylinder. The cylinder and the fourth finger cylinder, the first finger cylinder, the second finger cylinder, the third finger cylinder and the fourth finger cylinder are in a linkage state. When the first finger cylinder clamps the top cover and the orifice plate on the turntable 3 and moves to the right to the edge binding assembly 21 for edge binding, the second finger cylinder clamps the top cover and the orifice plate under the edge binding assembly 21 and moves to the right to the riveting assembly 22 for riveting, the third finger cylinder clamps the top cover and the orifice plate under the riveting assembly 22 and moves to the right to the welding assembly 23 for welding, and the fourth finger cylinder clamps the top cover and the orifice plate under the welding assembly 23 and moves to the right to throw it into the receiving box 5. The first finger cylinder, the second finger cylinder, the third finger cylinder and the fourth finger cylinder can be driven by the cylinder to be linked or by the cam mechanism to be linked. Since the cylinder driving method and the cam mechanism driving method are relatively conventional technical means in this field, they will not be repeated here.

[0047] The above contents are only preferred embodiments of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, according to the concept of the present invention, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scopes. The content of this specification should not be understood as limiting the present invention.
