If the shell of the optical fiber connector placed at the preset position is correctly assembled with the pressing sleeve, the shell of the optical fiber connector can be clamped into the assembly detection groove, and the assembly detection sensing component can detect that the assembly clamping component has reached this position and give a preset signal.

8. The spring detection device for optical fiber connector assembly according to claim 1, characterized in that: A cylinder is configured as the assembly detection power component, and the assembly detection power component is provided with a third air circuit interface. When the third air circuit interface is connected to the air source, the assembly detection power component can drive the assembly detection holding component to approach the optical fiber connector at a preset position, and a third pressure regulating device is provided between the third air circuit interface and the preset air source.
