The two ends of the key ring channel 402 are connected to the discharge end of the key ring tray 401 and the key ring base 403, respectively. The key ring transfer mechanism 404 transfers key rings from the key ring base 403 to the iron ring on the clamping assembly 102. The key ring tray 401 feeds key rings, which are then conveyed to the key ring base 403 via the key ring channel 402, and placed onto the iron ring on the clamping assembly 102 by the key ring transfer mechanism 404.

The iron ring is fed by the iron ring feeding mechanism 500 to the clamp assembly 102, which clamps the iron ring. Then, the turntable 101 rotates, so that the clamp assembly 102 with the clamped iron ring passes through the lobster buckle feeding mechanism 200, the figure-eight ring feeding mechanism 300, and the key ring feeding mechanism 400 in sequence to feed their respective parts. After feeding is completed, the clamp assembly 102 rotates with the turntable 101 to the second iron ring bending mechanism 700, which then bends the opened iron ring back, so that the iron ring closes again and the assembly is completed. Finally, the clamping assembly 102 rotates with the turntable 101 to the top of the unloading slide 106 located on one side of the turntable 101. The gripper 104 of the clamping assembly 102 is released, and the assembled lobster buckle three-piece set falls into the unloading slide 106, completing the unloading.
