[0026] The transmission structure 20 is composed of two conveyor chains, which are rotatably installed on the bracket 10. The distance between the two conveyor chains is slightly smaller than the length of the lamp tube 200.

[0027] The number of the assembling devices 30 is two, and the two assembling devices 30 are respectively located on both sides of the transmission structure 20. The two assembling devices 30 are respectively used for installing the N-line lamp head 300 and the driving-end lamp head 300. The structures of the two assembling devices 30 are substantially the same. Taking the assembling device 30 for installing the N-line lamp head 300 as an example, the assembling device 30 includes a bottom plate 31, a glue application structure 32, a feeding structure 33, a material receiving structure 34, a manipulator 35, a positioning structure 36 and a guiding structure 37. A slide rail 310 is provided on the bottom plate 31. The glue application structure 32 is fixed to the bottom plate 31. The glue application structure 32 is used for applying glue to the lamp head 300. The feeding structure 33 is located on one side of the glue application structure 32 and extends above the material receiving structure 34. The feeding structure 33 is used for transporting the lamp head 300 from the glue application structure 32 to the material receiving structure 34. The feeding structure 33 is provided with an anti-dropping plate, which is located above the lamp head 300 to prevent the lamp head 300 from falling off the feeding structure 33.

[0028] The material receiving structure 34 includes a pushing driving member 340, a connecting plate 341, a lifting driving member 342 and a material receiving member 343. The pushing driving member 340 is fixed to the bottom plate 31. The connecting plate 341 is slidably installed on the slide rail 310 of the bottom plate 31, and the output shaft of the pushing driving member 340 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 341.

The clamping driving member 351 is fixed to the output end of the pushing driving member 350, and the clamping jaw 352 is fixed to the output end of the clamping driving member 351. The pushing driving member 350 drives the clamping driving member 351 and the clamping jaw 352 to move in the horizontal direction. The clamping driving member 351 drives the clamping jaw 352 to clamp or loosen.

[0030] The positioning structure 36 includes a positioning driving member 360 and a positioning claw 361. The positioning structure 36 is located on one side of the transmission structure 20. The output end of the positioning driving member 360 is fixedly connected to the positioning claw 361, and the positioning driving member 360 drives the positioning claw 361 to move up and down.

The protrusion of the lamp cap 300 slides down along the guiding groove 3431, so that the lamp cap 300 falls into the receiving space 3434, and plays a positioning role while falling. The pushing driving member 340 pushes the receiving member 343 to move until it is in front of the mechanical arm 35. The pushing driving member 350 of the mechanical arm 35 pushes the clamping jaw 352 to move forward, and the clamping driving member 351 drives the clamping jaw 352 to clamp the lamp cap 300. At this time, the lifting driving member 342 of the receiving structure 34 drives the receiving member 343 to move downward and separate from the lamp cap 300. The guiding driving member 371 of the guiding structure 37 drives the two guiding plates 372 to close and gather the power cord 202, and the wire threading driving member 370 drives the two guiding plates 372 to move forward to expose the power cord 202.
