The sealing ring 5 is located in the arc-shaped groove, and the edge of the arc-shaped groove limits the displacement of the sealing ring 5.

[0059] In this embodiment, a controller is also included, and the controller is used to control the operation of the lifting module 1, the synchronous belt group 2 and the finger assembly 3 respectively.

[0060] The process of assembling the sealing ring 5 of the product using the sealing ring 5 assembly mechanism according to the present invention is as follows:

[0061] The cylinder 31 drives a pair of pull fingers 32 to move away from each other, so that the pair of pull fingers 32 are in an open state, and the lifting module 1 drives the mounting plate 4 to move in the vertical direction, driving the synchronous belt group 2 and the finger assembly 3 to move to the preset position, so that the two ends of the sealing ring 5 are respectively located at the two pairs of pull fingers 32, and the pair of cylinders 31 drives the two pairs of pull fingers 32 to move towards each other to clamp the two ends of the sealing ring 5 respectively, and the driving motor of the synchronous belt group 2 runs to drive the synchronous belt 2 to rotate, so that the pair of cylinders 31 move away from each other, and the two pairs of pull fingers 32 clamp the two ends of the sealing ring 5 to stretch the sealing ring 5, and the lifting module 1 drives the mounting plate 4 to move to another preset position, so that the sealing ring 5 is inserted into the product, and the cylinder 31 of the finger assembly 3 controls the pull fingers 32 to loosen so that the sealing ring 5 is put on the product, completing the assembly process.

[0062] This mechanism can replace manpower to complete the automatic assembly of the sealing ring 5, and can realize the assembly of two or more products at one time. The cylinder 31 is fixed on the guide rail 26, and the two cylinders 31 of each station are respectively fixed on the upper and lower ends of the synchronous belt 2; the synchronous belt 2 is driven by the driving motor to drive the cylinder 31 along the guide rail 26 to produce opposite displacement, so that the sealing ring 5 clamped by the pulling finger 32 is deformed, and the action is stable and reliable. It greatly improves work efficiency and saves manpower.
