[0033] The technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods. It should be understood that these implementation methods are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention. After reading the present invention, various equivalent forms of modifications to the present invention by those skilled in the art all fall within the scope defined by the claims attached to this application.

[0034] Example:

[0035] Reference Figures 1 to 3As shown, an embodiment of the present invention discloses an assembly mechanism. The structure may include: a feeding system 1, a first feeding device 2, a second feeding device 3 and a transmission device 4. The feeding system 1 is used to provide a silicone cushion sleeve 12 and convey it to the first feeding device 2. The first feeding device 2 conveys the silicone cushion sleeve 12 conveyed by the feeding system 1 to a preset position thereon. The second feeding device 3 grabs the silicone cushion sleeve 12 at the aforementioned preset position and conveys it to the top of the transmission device 4 and further assembles it on the sensor (e.g., radar 43).

[0036] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 3 As shown, the first feeding device 2 may specifically include an L support plate 21, a limit plate 22, a counter-shooting sensor 23, a stripping sheet 24, a counter-shooting sensor connecting plate 25, a translation cylinder 26 (first drive device), and a cylinder connecting plate 27. The limit plate 22 may be disposed on the L support plate 21. The counter-shooting sensor 23 is disposed on the limit plate 22 via the counter-shooting sensor connecting plate 25. The translation cylinder 26 is disposed on the L support plate 21. Furthermore, the first drive device may further include a telescopic cylinder 28. The telescopic cylinder 28 is disposed on the translation cylinder 26 via the cylinder connecting plate 27, so that the telescopic cylinder 28 can drive the stripping sheet 24 to move up and down while the translation cylinder 26 can also drive the telescopic cylinder 28 to move up and down.

[0037] Reference Figure 3 As shown, the limiting groove 29 is used to limit the silicone buffer sleeve 12. The limiting groove 29 can be set on the upper surface of the limiting plate 22, and two relatively arranged protrusions 221 are formed on the inner side wall of the limiting groove 29. The protrusions 221 limit the limiting groove 29 to form a first limiting area 291 and a second limiting area 292. For example, the limiting groove 29 can be a U-shaped groove with one end open, and two protrusions 221 can be provided on the inner side wall of the U-shaped groove. The distance between the two relatively arranged protrusions 221 is smaller than the diameter of the silicone buffer sleeve 12, thereby ensuring that the silicone buffer sleeve 12 located in the first limiting area 291 will not easily move to the second limiting area 292. Only when the silicone buffer sleeve 12 is slightly deformed by external force under the drive of the peeling sheet 24 can it pass through. The protrusions 221 here ensure that the silicone buffer sleeve 12 is fed in time and can ensure that the silicone buffer sleeve 12 does not fall.

[0038] The stripping sheet 24 of the first feeding device 2 moves the silicone cushion sleeve 12 located in the first limiting area 291 to the second limiting area 292 under the drive of the translation cylinder 26. In one embodiment, the first feeding device 2 may include a first driving device 26 (i.e., the translation cylinder 26) and a stripping sheet 24. The first end of the stripping sheet 24 is fixedly disposed on the first driving device 26, and the second end of the stripping sheet 24 moves in the first limiting area 291 and the second limiting area 292 under the drive of the first driving device 26.

[0039] More specifically, the stripping sheet 24 can be a metal plate, and a slender strip hole is opened on the limiting plate 22, so that the stripping sheet 24 can be inserted on the limiting plate 22 and move in the horizontal direction under the drive of the first driving device 26. At the same time, the stripping sheet 24 can also move up and down under the drive of the telescopic cylinder 28.

[0040] Reference Figure 4-6 As shown, the second feeding device 3 has a picking portion adapted to the silicone cushion sleeve 12. The second feeding device 3 is used to move the silicone cushion sleeve 12 located in the second limiting area 292 to above the radar 43 on the transmission device 4 and assemble the silicone cushion sleeve 12 on the radar 43. For example, when there is a silicone cushion sleeve 12 in the second limiting area 292, the second driving device drives the picking portion to move to above the silicone cushion sleeve 12 under the control of the control device, and then the picking portion picks up the silicone cushion sleeve 12 and moves the silicone cushion sleeve 12 to above the radar 43.

[0041] Furthermore, the picking portion includes a sleeve 33. The cross-section of the sleeve 33 is adapted to the cross-section of the silicone buffer sleeve. A clamping head 344 is provided at the lower end of the sleeve 33, and the clamping head 344 is used to clamp the silicone buffer sleeve 12, thereby grabbing the silicone buffer sleeve. In order to drive the second feeding device 3, the second feeding device 3 includes a second driving device (which may include an electric cylinder 31 and a pneumatic cylinder 32). The electric cylinder 31 can drive the pneumatic cylinder 32 and the sleeve 33 to move together. The pneumatic cylinder 32 can be connected to the sleeve 33 to drive the sleeve 33 to move up and down. For example, when the sleeve 33 moves downward under the drive of the pneumatic cylinder 32, the outer edge of the sleeve 33 can push out the silicone buffer sleeve 12, so that the silicone buffer sleeve 12 can be assembled on the radar 43.

[0042] Furthermore, the second feeding device 2 may also include a pick-up rod 34. The pick-up rod 34 is at least partially disposed in the sleeve 33, and the pick-up rod 34 can be at least partially inserted into the silicone cushion sleeve 12 for guiding when the silicone cushion sleeve 12 is assembled on the radar 43. In one embodiment, the pick-up rod 34 may include a connecting plate 341, a telescopic rod 342, a sliding sleeve 343, and a pressing head 344. The connecting plate 341 is connected to the sleeve 33. The telescopic rod 342 is connected to the connecting plate 341 and the telescopic rod 342 can be slidably sleeved in the sliding sleeve 343.

[0043] In a preferred embodiment, the assembly mechanism further includes a through-beam sensor 23. The through-beam sensor 23 is located in the second limiting area 292, and is used to obtain the state of the silicone cushion sleeve 12 in the second limiting area 292. When the light signal emitted by the through-beam sensor 23 is blocked, it indicates that there is a silicone cushion sleeve 12 on the second limiting area 292. The control device performs subsequent operations according to the state information of the silicone cushion sleeve 12 obtained by the through-beam sensor 23.

[0044] The feeding system 1 is used to supply the silicone cushion sleeve 12. The system may include a silicone cushion sleeve vibration plate 11, which is used to vibrate and convey the silicone cushion sleeve 12 to the silicone cushion sleeve vibration plate. The carrier transmission system 4 includes a stop cylinder 41, a radar carrier 42, a radar 43, and a lifting cylinder 44.

[0045] The following is a detailed description of the workflow including the assembly mechanism:

[0046] 1) After the sensor detects that the radar carrier 42 is in place, the stopping cylinder 41 stops the radar carrier 42, and the lifting cylinder 44 lifts the radar carrier 42.

[0047] 2) The feeding system 1 vibrates the silicone cushion sleeve 12 to the position of the buffer limit boss 221 for standby use. The stripping sheet 24 is driven down by the telescopic cylinder 28, and then moves to the top of the silicone cushion sleeve 12 with the translation cylinder 26. The stripping sheet 24 rises and inserts into the middle hole of the silicone rubber sleeve 12. The translation cylinder 26 drives the silicone cushion sleeve to move to the fixed material taking position of the cushion sleeve (the second limit area 292).

[0048] 3) The second feeding device 3 then moves to the fixed material picking position of the silicone cushion sleeve 12, and the silicone cushion sleeve pickup rod 34 is pressed into the middle hole of the cushion sleeve 12 under the drive of the electric cylinder 31. Then, the electric cylinder 31 rises, and then moves the silicone cushion sleeve 12 to the top of the radar 43 on the radar carrier 42. The electric cylinder 31 descends and drives the silicone cushion sleeve 12 to the position 1mm above the upper surface of the radar 43. The cylinder 32 presses the sleeve 33 downward, and the silicone cushion rubber sleeve 12 is pulled out along the pickup rod 34 and buckled on the radar 43 probe surface through the clamping head 344. The cylinder 32 drives the sleeve 33 to rise, and the electric cylinder 31 rises and drives the pressing sleeve 33 and the silicone cushion sleeve pickup rod 34 to rise.

[0049] 4) The lifting cylinder 44 descends, causing the radar carrier 42 to fall onto the belt line of the transmission system 4, and the stopping cylinder 41 retracts, and the radar carrier 42 is released and flows into the next station.

[0050] The present invention changes the existing manual installation of the silicone cushion sleeve on the radar 43 by manually grabbing it into an automatic installation of the silicone cushion sleeve 12 by an assembly mechanism, thereby ensuring the consistency and cleanliness of product production, improving the efficiency and qualification rate of radar production, and realizing the automation of radar production.
