[0046] The purpose of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0047] It mainly includes an automatic pressing mechanism 1 and an automatic material dividing mechanism 2. The automatic pressing mechanism 1 is provided with a pressing fixed top plate 3, a transfer plate 8, a mounting bottom plate 11 and a pressing movable plate 13 arranged in sequence from top to bottom. The transfer plate 8 and the mounting bottom plate 11 are connected together by connecting bolts, and the structural stability is ensured by a reinforcing plate. The pressing fixed top plate 3, the transfer plate 8 and the mounting bottom plate 11 constitute the upper half, and the rest is the lower half. The pressing movable plate 13 is connected to the mounting bottom plate 11 through a double linear guide shaft, namely a first guide shaft 12. The first guide shaft 12 cooperates with the inner hole of the corresponding linear bearing and is driven by the Z-axis lifting cylinder 9 to move up and down along it. Two press-fitting cylinders 15 are installed on both sides of the bottom of the pressing movable plate 13. The driving end of the bottom of the rotating cylinder 14 drives the second clamping cylinder 18 to rotate and drive the operation. The rotating cylinder 14 and the second clamping cylinder 18 constitute a double cylinder unit. The press-fitting cylinders 15 on both sides are respectively connected and driven with the corresponding double cylinder units in the Y-axis direction. The driving end of the second clamping cylinder 18 drives the second clamping jaw 19 to drive along the Y-axis direction to realize the opening and closing of the second clamping jaw 19. The driving end of the first clamping jaw cylinder 16 drives the first clamping jaw 17 to drive along the Y-axis direction to realize the opening and closing of the first clamping jaw 17. The first clamping jaw 17 is set to clamp the handle rod, and the second clamping jaw 19 is used to clamp the bushing. The two press-fitting cylinders 15 are arranged relative to each other. The piston rods of the press-fitting cylinders 15 move relative to each other, so that a pair of bushings can be pressed into the handle rod relative to each other. The piston rods of the two rotating cylinders 14 drive the second clamping jaw cylinder 18 to rotate in opposite directions, so that the opening directions of the white bushing are opposite to each other, which is conducive to the pressing of the product.

[0048] The automatic material dividing mechanism 2 is provided with a material dividing fixed top plate 23, a rotating fixed plate 24, a material dividing movable plate 25 and a material dividing fixed bottom plate 26 from top to bottom. The cover plate 31 is provided with a sorting groove and a square hole for the product to pass through, namely, a product hole 32. The piston rod of the cylinder 33 is driven by the cover plate to realize linear motion. The separation turntable is fixed on the swing cylinder 30 to realize circular reciprocating motion, and the bushing is separated into two corresponding holes distributed 180 degrees with the axis of the separation turntable. There is a hole in each hole, which can pass the product guide shaft, namely, the second guide shaft 28. The linear bearing 29 is fixed on the material dividing movable plate 25 with bolts, and the inner hole of the linear bearing 29 is inserted into the second guide shaft 28 to realize up and down movement. The material distribution movable plate 25 is fixed on the piston rod of the jacking cylinder 27, and the other end of the cylinder is fixed on the material distribution fixed bottom plate 26. The jacking cylinder has two strokes. The first stroke is jacking to adjust the white bushing and orientation, and the second stroke is jacking to send the sorted and oriented white bushing to the material taking height.

[0049] The cover plate pushes the cylinder 33 to push out the cover plate 31 to its original position, the lifting cylinder 27 extends for one stroke, the cover plate pushes the cylinder 33 to retract so that the square through hole of the product, i.e., the product acupoint 32, is processed above the white bushing, the cover plate pushes the cylinder 33 to extend for the second stroke, and the white bushing is in the material taking position.

[0050] The working principle of the present invention is briefly described as follows:

[0051] The swing cylinder 30 separates two white bushings to two product points 32, and the lifting cylinder 27 drives the material distribution movable plate 25 and the linear bearing 29 to reciprocate up and down. The two product guide shafts, namely the second guide shaft 28, are guided by the linear bearing 29 and penetrate the two white bushings. The cover plate push cylinder 33 drags the cover plate 22 to move to achieve reciprocating linear motion, so that the bushing can pass through the product through hole, namely the product point 32 to extend the mechanism. The second clamping claw cylinder 18 extends to open the second clamping claw 19, and the rotating cylinder 14 drives the flipping of the second clamping claw cylinder 18 to make the second clamping claw 19 go downward to facilitate the picking up of the white bushing. The Z-axis lifting cylinder 9 extends to put the second clamping claw 19 on the white bushing, and the second clamping claw cylinder 18 retracts to close the second clamping claw 19 and grab the product. The lifting cylinder 27 retracts, the material distribution movable plate 25 descends, and the cover plate push cylinder 33 retracts to prevent the white bushing from flying out during separation. The Z-axis lifting cylinder 9 retracts and the lower part is lifted, and the rotating cylinder 14 drives the second clamping cylinder 18 to flip the direction for easy assembly. The X-axis driving cylinder 4 retracts and translates, the Z-axis lifting cylinder 9 extends, and the lower part descends. The first clamping cylinder 16 drives the first clamping cylinder 17 to hold the handle rod tightly to fix the position, the press-fitting cylinder 15 extends, presses the white bushing onto the handle rod, the press-fitting cylinder 15 retracts, the Z-axis lifting cylinder 9 retracts, and the X-axis driving cylinder 4 extends to drive the transfer plate 8 to the waiting position, and the whole action is completed.

[0052] After adopting the fully automatic separation and pressing mechanism of the white bushing, when the cylinder presses the white bushing in place or the white bushing is missing, the sensor 20 will detect the abnormality and alarm to prevent defective products from flowing into the next station, thereby improving the product yield and work efficiency.
