[0037] Furthermore, the sliding material receiving device 3 also includes a pneumatic part 31 and a moving material receiving trough 32. The pneumatic part 31 is fixedly installed below the base 25. The moving material receiving trough 32 is connected to one end of the pneumatic part 31. The pneumatic part 31 drives the moving material receiving trough 32 to move back and forth in the horizontal direction. In this embodiment, the pneumatic part 31 is a cylinder.

[0038] When the driving motor 24 drives the driving disk 23 to rotate counterclockwise, and the travel switch 28 contacts the sealing ring 8 of the screw plug 7 on the slot 231 of the driving disk 23, the industrial computer of the sealing ring assembly equipment can determine whether the screw plug 7 is covered with the sealing ring 8 through the travel switch 28.

[0039] When a sealing ring 8 is sleeved on the screw plug 7, one end of the travel switch 28 contacts the sealing ring 8 at the groove 71 of the screw plug 7. The industrial computer determines through the travel switch 28 that the screw plug 7 is sleeved with a sealing ring 8. At this time, the industrial computer issues a command to make the air pipe of the pneumatic part 31 supply air to the pneumatic part 31, and the pneumatic part 31 pushes the moving material receiving trough 32 to move horizontally to just below the material receiving port 251; when no sealing ring 8 is sleeved on the screw plug 7, one end of the travel switch 28 slides through the groove 71 of the screw plug 7 and cannot contact the screw plug 7. The industrial computer determines through the travel switch 28 that the screw plug 7 is not sleeved with a sealing ring 8. At this time, the industrial computer issues a command to make the air pipe of the pneumatic part 31 stop supplying air to the pneumatic part 31, and the pneumatic part 31 pulls the moving material receiving trough 32 to move horizontally to its original position.

[0040] Furthermore, a material passing trough 211 penetrating the material passing trough 211 is provided on the material holding block 21, the material passing trough 211 includes an inlet end 2111 and an outlet end 2112 away from the inlet end 2111, an arcuate end face 212 is connected to the outlet end 2112 of the material passing trough 211, and a boss 2121 is formed on one end of the arcuate end face 212 away from the outlet end 2112, and the second feeding arm 121 of the second vibration disk 12 conveys the sealing ring 8 into the material passing trough 211 of the material holding block 21, and when the sealing ring 8 is conveyed to the arcuate end face 212, the angle of the sealing ring 8 is adjusted so that the sealing ring 8 is sleeved on the groove 71 of the screw plug 7.

[0041] Furthermore, the charging member 22 includes an adjusting shaft 221 and an extrusion ring 222 rotatably connected to the adjusting shaft 221. The adjusting shaft 221 is detachably mounted on the vertical plate 26 through a mounting block 223. The extrusion ring 222 is formed with multiple steps corresponding to the sealing ring 8. When the sealing ring 8 is conveyed to the arc-shaped end surface 212, it is sleeved on the groove 71 of the screw plug 7. The extrusion ring 222 contacts the sealing ring 8 on the screw plug 7 to shape the sealing ring 8 so that the sealing ring 8 is completely sleeved on the groove 71 of the screw plug 7.

[0042] Furthermore, a limiting pin 20 is provided at the connection between the outlet end 2112 of the material passing chute 211 and the arc-shaped end surface 212 to prevent the sealing ring 8 from falling off.

[0043] Furthermore, a sensor 2122 is provided above the arc-shaped end surface 212, and the sensor 2122 is installed on the connection block 27 of the clamping block 21. The sensor 2122 is used to detect whether there is a sealing ring 8 on the arc-shaped end surface 212 and transmit the detection signal to the industrial computer. When the sensor detects that there is a sealing ring 8 at the arc-shaped end surface, the industrial computer issues a command to make the drive motor 24 continue to drive the drive disk 23 to rotate.

[0044] Furthermore, the sealing ring assembly equipment also includes a material storage bin 4 , which is disposed adjacent to the first vibration disk 11 , and the material storage bin 4 is used to provide the thread plugs 7 to the first vibration disk 11 .

[0045] Furthermore, a guide groove 252 is also installed below the base 25, and the guide groove 252 is located in front of the material receiving port 251. When the pneumatic part 31 pushes the moving material receiving groove 32 to move horizontally to the right below the material receiving port 251, it can contact the guide groove 252. In this way, the industrial computer determines that the thread plug 7 is sleeved with a sealing ring 8 through the travel switch 28. At this time, the industrial computer issues a command to make the air pipe of the pneumatic part 31 supply air to the pneumatic part 31, and the pneumatic part 31 pushes the moving material receiving groove 32 to move horizontally to the right below the material receiving port 251, so that the material stripping piece 29 strips the thread plug 7 on the driving disk 23 and drops it to the moving material receiving groove 32 through the material receiving port 251, and then slides onto the guide groove 252 through the moving material receiving groove 32.

[0046] Furthermore, the sealing ring assembly device further comprises a first receiving and packing box 5 and a second receiving and packing box 6 spaced apart from the first receiving and packing box 5, wherein the first receiving and packing box 5 is installed below the base 25 and is used to receive the screw plugs 7 that fall through the material receiving port 251, and the second receiving and packing box 6 is installed below the material guide trough 252 and is used to receive the screw plugs 7 that slide down through the material guide trough 252. In this way, the screened screw plugs 7 assembled with the sealing ring 8 and the screw plugs 7 not assembled with the sealing ring 8 can be collected separately.

[0047] Working principle: the storage bin 4 provides a screw plug 7 to the first vibration disk 11 , the first feeding arm 111 of the first vibration disk 11 provides a screw plug 7 to the slot 231 of the driving disk 23 , and the second feeding arm 121 of the second vibration disk 12 provides a sealing ring 8 to the material block 21 .

[0048] At the same time, the driving motor 24 drives the driving disk 23 to rotate counterclockwise so that the screw plugs 7 are clamped on the clamping grooves 231 one by one. When the travel switch 28 contacts the sealing ring 8 of the screw plug 7 on the clamping groove 231 of the driving disk 23, the industrial computer of the sealing ring assembly equipment determines whether the screw plug 7 is covered with the sealing ring 8 through the travel switch 28.

[0049] If the industrial computer determines through the travel switch 28 that the screw plug 7 is provided with a sealing ring 8, the industrial computer issues a command to make the air pipe of the pneumatic part 31 supply air to the pneumatic part 31, and the pneumatic part 31 pushes the moving material receiving groove 32 to move horizontally to just below the material receiving opening 251, so that the material shifting piece 29 shifts the screw plug 7 on the driving disk 23 down through the material receiving opening 251 to the moving material receiving groove 32, and then slides through the moving material receiving groove 32 to the material guide groove 252 and then slides to the second receiving box 6;

[0050] If the industrial computer determines through the travel switch 28 that there is no sealing ring 8 on the screw plug 7, the industrial computer issues a command to stop the air pipe of the pneumatic part 31 from supplying air to the pneumatic part 31, and the pneumatic part 31 pulls the moving material receiving groove 32 to move horizontally to its original position, so that the screw plug 7 falls into the first packaging box 5 through the material receiving port 251.

[0051] The present invention is not limited to what is described in the specification and implementation modes, and therefore additional advantages and modifications can be easily realized by those skilled in the art.
