Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of optical fiber equipment assembly technology, and more specifically, to an assembly device for fiber splitter box end modules. Background Technology

[0002] The fiber distribution box end module refers to a structure composed of fiber distribution box end cover plate, connectors, ceramic tubes and sealing rings and other accessories. Usually, multiple connectors are provided on the fiber distribution box end cover plate. The connectors are hollow inside with an annular groove on their outer wall. The ceramic tube is assembled inside the connector and the sealing ring is fitted inside the annular groove of the connector.

[0003] The end modules of the fiber distribution box are usually assembled by workers manually, with ceramic tubes and sealing rings assembled onto the connectors. This process is very inefficient and the assembly quality is inconsistent. Existing assembly equipment also relies on manual assistance to assemble each component individually, followed by testing. Qualified and unqualified products are then separated manually. This process involves many intermediate steps, low efficiency, and the quality of the separated finished products cannot be guaranteed. Summary of the Invention

[0010] Optionally, the ceramic tube assembly mechanism includes an assembly platform, a feeding fixture, a positioning tube, and a ejector pin. The assembly platform has a ceramic tube assembly position. The feeding fixture is disposed on the assembly platform and is used to push the ceramic tube to the ceramic tube assembly position. The positioning tube and the ejector pin are coaxially disposed on opposite sides of the ceramic tube assembly position. The positioning tube is used to extend into the connector to be assembled. The ejector pin is used to pass through the ceramic tube assembly position and push the ceramic tube into the connector to be assembled through the positioning tube.

[0011] Optionally, the insertion loss detection mechanism includes a detection probe and an insertion loss tester. The detection probe is disposed on the workbench and is used to insert into the connector to be tested. The insertion loss tester is optically connected to the detection probe.

[0029] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that, in the accompanying drawings, the positive direction of "X" represents the left, and correspondingly, the negative direction of "X" represents the right; the positive direction of "Y" represents the front, and correspondingly, the negative direction of "Y" represents the rear; the positive direction of "Z" represents the top, and correspondingly, the negative direction of "Z" represents the bottom. The terms "X", "Y", "Z", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this invention.

[0031] The terms “first” and “second” are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0032] To address the aforementioned problems, embodiments of the present invention provide a fiber distribution box end module assembly device, including a workbench 1, a conveying mechanism 2, a glue shortage detection mechanism 3, a ceramic tube assembly mechanism 4, a insertion loss detection mechanism 5, and a sealing ring assembly mechanism 6. The conveying mechanism 2 is disposed on the workbench 1 and is used to convey the fiber distribution box end cover plate 101 to the corresponding workstation. The glue shortage detection mechanism 3 is disposed on the workbench 1 and is used to detect glue shortage on the fiber distribution box end cover plate 101. The ceramic tube assembly mechanism 4 is disposed on the workbench 1 and located to one side of the glue shortage detection mechanism 3, and is used to assemble the ceramic tube into the connector 103. The insertion loss detection mechanism 5 is disposed on the workbench 1 and located to one side of the ceramic tube assembly mechanism 4, and is used to detect insertion loss on the connector 103 equipped with the ceramic tube 102. The sealing ring assembly mechanism 6 is disposed on the workbench 1 and located to one side of the insertion loss detection mechanism 5, and is used to assemble the sealing ring onto the connector 103.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 10 As shown, in this embodiment, the workbench 1 adopts a long, narrow box structure, including a tabletop and a support frame. The support frame is assembled from brackets and side plates. The tabletop is placed on the support frame. The conveying mechanism 2 is arranged on the front part of the workbench 1 along the length direction and can reciprocate between two adjacent workstations to convey the workpiece from the upper workstation to the lower workstation. The glue shortage detection mechanism 3, the ceramic tube assembly mechanism 4, the insertion loss detection mechanism 5, and the sealing ring assembly mechanism 6 are all arranged on the rear part of the workbench 1 and are arranged sequentially along the length direction. Each actuator can simultaneously perform corresponding assembly operations on different workpieces at the corresponding workstation. After the workpiece at the previous workstation completes the corresponding assembly operation, the conveying mechanism 2 simultaneously conveys the workpieces at different workstations to the next workstation that matches its assembly state for subsequent assembly operations.

[0034] Among them, such as Figure 1 As shown, the length direction of workbench 1 refers to the X-axis direction. For ease of description, the station corresponding to the glue shortage detection mechanism 3 can be called the glue shortage detection station, the station corresponding to the ceramic tube assembly mechanism 4 can be called the ceramic tube assembly station, the station corresponding to the insertion loss detection mechanism 5 can be called the insertion loss detection station, the station corresponding to the sealing ring assembly mechanism 6 can be called the sealing ring assembly station, the station corresponding to the sealing ring detection mechanism 7 can be called the sealing ring detection station, and the station corresponding to the sorting mechanism 8 can be called the sorting station.

[0035] It should be noted that the shape of the workbench 1 can also be set as U-shaped according to the factory space and other conditions. The conveying mechanism 2 is set on the outer part of the workbench 1 according to the structure matching the shape of the workbench 1, and each actuator is set on the inner part of the workbench 1. In this case, when the conveying mechanism 2 conveys the workpiece on the U-shaped workbench 1, it needs to rotate at the corner at the corresponding angle. Furthermore, each part of the conveying mechanism 2 in different directions needs to use a separate drive unit, and each drive unit should move synchronously.

[0036] Thus, by setting up a conveying mechanism 2, a glue shortage detection mechanism 3, a ceramic tube assembly mechanism 4, a insertion loss detection mechanism 5, and a sealing ring assembly mechanism 6 on the workbench 1, the conveying mechanism 2 conveys the fiber distribution box end cover plate 101 to the station corresponding to the glue shortage detection mechanism 3. After the glue shortage detection mechanism 3 detects the glue shortage on the fiber distribution box end cover plate 101, the conveying mechanism 2 conveys the fiber distribution box end cover plate 101 to the station corresponding to the ceramic tube assembly mechanism 4. The ceramic tube assembly mechanism 4 assembles the ceramic tube into the connector 103 on the fiber distribution box end cover plate 101. The conveying mechanism 2 then conveys the fiber distribution box end cover plate 101 to the station corresponding to the ceramic tube assembly mechanism 4. The fiber distribution box end cover plate 101 equipped with ceramic tube 102 is transferred to the station corresponding to the insertion loss detection mechanism 5. The insertion loss detection mechanism 5 performs insertion loss detection on the fiber distribution box end cover plate 101. The transfer mechanism 2 then transfers the fiber distribution box end cover plate 101 to the station corresponding to the sealing ring assembly mechanism 6. The sealing ring assembly mechanism 6 then assembles the sealing ring onto the connector 103. The entire assembly process is automated. Multiple products to be assembled are operated at different stations according to their respective processes. There is no need to wait, which can improve work efficiency. At the same time, each mechanism performs standardized operations, thereby improving the assembly quality of the fiber distribution box end module 100.

[0037] Optionally, the conveying mechanism 2 includes a conveying component 21 and a clamping component 22. The conveying component 21 is used to reciprocate along the length of the worktable 1. The clamping component 22 is disposed between two adjacent workstations and is used to clamp the fiber distribution box end cover plate 101 on the conveying component 21 or to place the fiber distribution box end cover plate 101 on the conveying component 21.

[0038] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, the conveying mechanism 2 includes a conveying component 21 and multiple sets of clamping components 22. The multiple sets of clamping components 22 are arranged at intervals. For ease of description, the clamping component 22 between the glue shortage detection station and the ceramic tube assembly station can be referred to as the first clamping component, the clamping component 22 between the ceramic tube assembly station and the insertion loss detection mechanism 5 can be referred to as the second clamping component, the clamping component 22 between the insertion loss detection mechanism 5 and the sealing ring assembly mechanism 6 can be referred to as the third clamping component, and the clamping component 22 between the sealing ring assembly mechanism 6 and the sealing ring detection mechanism 7 can be referred to as the fourth clamping component. The conveying component 21 reciprocates between two adjacent clamping components 22 and cooperates with the clamping components 22 to realize the conveying of the workpiece between different stations.

[0039] It should be noted that each clamping component 22 can perform clamping and placing actions. The structure of the clamping component 22 can adopt existing technology, which will not be described in detail here. However, since the insertion loss detection and sealing ring assembly operations need to be performed on the upper and lower end faces of the fiber distribution box end cover plate 101 respectively, the third clamping component also needs to perform a flipping operation after clamping the workpiece. Its specific structure can be based on the existing technology structure described above, with a rotating structure added, which will not be described in detail here.

[0040] For ease of understanding, this embodiment uses the cooperation between the clamping component 22 and the conveying component 21 located between the glue shortage detection mechanism 3 and the ceramic tube assembly mechanism 4 to convey the workpiece as an example.

[0041] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the conveying component 21 conveys the workpiece to be assembled to the glue shortage detection station. After the glue shortage detection mechanism 3 detects the glue shortage, the conveying component 21 moves forward to the position corresponding to the first clamping component. The first clamping component performs a clamping action to clamp the workpiece on the conveying component 21 and detach it from the conveying component 21. At this time, the conveying component 21 moves backward to the initial state. The first clamping component performs a placement action to place the workpiece on the conveying component 21. The conveying component 21 moves according to a predetermined action and conveys the workpiece to the ceramic tube assembly station. The ceramic tube assembly mechanism 4 performs ceramic tube assembly operation on it.

[0042] In this way, the workpiece can be transferred between different workstations through the cooperation of the conveying component 21 and the clamping component 22. The entire assembly process is unmanned, and multiple products to be assembled can be operated on in different workstations without waiting, which can improve work efficiency. At the same time, each mechanism performs standardized operations, thereby improving the assembly quality of the fiber box end module 100.

[0043] Optionally, the conveying assembly 21 includes a conveying slide rail 211, a conveying platform 212, and a conveying drive 213. The conveying slide rail 211 is mounted on the worktable 1, the conveying platform 212 is slidably connected to the conveying slide rail 211, and the conveying drive 213 is drivenly connected to the conveying platform 212.

[0044] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown in this embodiment, multiple sets of supports are spaced apart along the length of the workbench 1. Two conveying slide rails 211 are arranged parallel to each other on the supports. A conveying slider is provided at the bottom of the conveying platform 212. The conveying slider is slidably connected to the conveying slide rails 211. The conveying drive component 213 is arranged in the gap between the conveying slide rails 211 and the workbench 1 and is drivenly connected to the conveying platform 212. The conveying drive component 213 can adopt a structure such as a motor, and drive the conveying platform 212 to move on the conveying slide rails 211 through a structure such as a lead screw. The specific choice can be made according to the needs and is not limited here.

[0045] It should be noted that, in order to prevent cables and other cables installed on the conveyor platform 212 from being damaged when moving with the conveyor platform 212, in this embodiment, a cable routing mechanism is also provided on the workbench 1 at the front side of the conveyor platform 212. The cable routing mechanism includes a cable routing bracket and a cable routing chain box installed on the cable routing bracket. The cable routing bracket is installed on the workbench 1, and its upper part is provided with a cable routing groove parallel to the conveyor slide rail 211. The cable routing chain box is hollow inside and can be used to thread cables. One end of the cable routing chain box is fixed in the cable routing groove, and the other end is folded back and connected to the conveyor platform 212. When the conveyor platform 212 moves, one end of the cable routing chain box can move with the conveyor platform 212. By setting up the cable routing mechanism, the cable layout can be made neater, the damage can be reduced, and the safety hazards can be reduced.

[0046] Optionally, the conveying platform 212 is provided with clamping fixtures 214 for clamping the fiber distribution box end cover plate 101. Multiple clamping fixtures 214 are spaced apart along the length direction of the conveying slide rail 211. Each clamping fixture 214 includes a gripper 2141, a connecting plate 2142, and a clamping drive component 2143. Two grippers 2141 are arranged opposite to each other along the length direction of the conveying platform 212 and are slidably connected to the conveying platform 212 respectively. A connecting post 2144 is provided on the gripper 2141, and the connecting plate 2142 is connected to the conveying platform. 212 is slidably connected and located between two grippers 2141. The connecting plate 2142 is provided with a waist-shaped hole 2145. The two waist-shaped holes 2145 are arranged in a figure-eight shape. The connecting post 2144 of one gripper 2141 is slidably connected to one waist-shaped hole 2145, and the connecting post 2144 of the other gripper 2141 is slidably connected to the other waist-shaped hole 2145. The clamping drive 2143 is drivenly connected to the connecting plate 2142 and is used to drive the connecting plate 2142 to move along the width direction of the conveying platform 212.

[0047] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the conveying platform 212 includes a conveying plate and a transition plate. Multiple conveying plates are spaced apart and connected by the transition plate. Each conveying plate is equipped with a clamping fixture 214. The portion of the conveying plate corresponding to each actuator has a placement position matching the shape of the workpiece to be assembled. The conveying plate also has two transverse slide rails. Two left and right grippers 2141 are slidably connected to the corresponding transverse slide rails via gripper sliders. A longitudinal slide rail is also provided on the conveying plate between the two transverse slide rails. The bottom of the connecting plate 2142 is slidably connected to the longitudinal slide rail. The holding drive 2143 is driven to connect with the connecting plate 2142 and is used to drive the connecting plate 2142 to slide on the longitudinal slide rail. The two gripper sliders are respectively provided with connecting posts 2144 on the parts that are close to each other. The connecting plate 2142 is provided with two waist-shaped holes 2145 distributed in a figure-eight shape. The two connecting posts 2144 are slidably connected to the corresponding waist-shaped holes 2145. When the holding drive 2143 drives the connecting plate 2142 to slide longitudinally, the two waist-shaped holes 2145 can drive the two grippers 2141 to clamp or open, so as to adapt to workpieces of different sizes to be assembled.

[0048] Optionally, the glue shortage detection mechanism 3 includes a glue shortage detection component 31, a glue shortage detection bracket 32, and a glue shortage detection drive component 33. The glue shortage detection bracket 32 ​​is slidably connected to the worktable 1. The glue shortage detection drive component 33 is used to drive the glue shortage detection bracket 32 ​​to move along the width direction of the worktable 1. The glue shortage detection component 31 is disposed on the glue shortage detection bracket 32 ​​and is used to perform glue shortage detection on the fiber distribution box end cover plate 101.

[0049] like Figure 1 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, a longitudinal glue shortage detection slide rail is provided on the workbench 1 at the rear side of the conveying mechanism 2. The bottom of the glue shortage detection bracket 32 ​​is slidably connected to the glue shortage detection slide rail. The glue shortage detection drive component 33 can be an electric cylinder, pneumatic cylinder, or hydraulic cylinder, etc., which is connected to the glue shortage detection bracket 32 ​​to drive the glue shortage detection bracket 32 ​​to move back and forth. The glue shortage detection component 31 can be a camera. The camera is set on the glue shortage detection bracket 32. The glue shortage detection bracket 32 ​​drives the glue shortage detection component 31 to move back and forth and captures images of each connector 103 on the workpiece to be assembled. The images captured by the camera are compared with preset images to determine whether the workpiece to be assembled is qualified.

[0050] Among them, such as Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, the width direction of worktable 1 refers to the Y-axis direction.

[0051] Optionally, the ceramic tube assembly mechanism 4 includes an assembly platform 41, a feeding clamp 42, a positioning tube 43, and a ejector pin 44. The assembly platform 41 is provided with a ceramic tube assembly position. The feeding clamp 42 is set on the assembly platform 41 and is used to push the ceramic tube 102 to the ceramic tube assembly position. The positioning tube 43 and the ejector pin 44 are coaxially arranged on opposite sides of the ceramic tube assembly position. The positioning tube 43 is used to extend into the connector 103 to be assembled. The ejector pin 44 is used to pass through the ceramic tube assembly position and push the ceramic tube 102 into the connector 103 to be assembled through the positioning tube 43.

[0052] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the assembly platform 41 is provided with an assembly slide, and the working part of the feeding fixture 42 is set in the assembly slide. Its driving part is set on one side of the assembly platform 41 and is used to drive the working part to slide along the assembly slide. The assembly platform 41 is also provided with a feeding hole and an assembly hole that communicate with the assembly slide. The feeding hole is set at a position corresponding to the working part of the feeding fixture 42. The assembly hole is provided with a push pin 44. The assembly platform 41 is provided with a positioning tube 43 below the push pin 44. The lower end of the positioning tube 43 is provided with an unfolding structure. The unfolding structure is used to expand the internal space of the connector 103 so that the push pin 44 can push the ceramic tube 102 into the connector 103.

[0053] When the ceramic tube assembly mechanism 4 is working, the conveying mechanism 2 conveys the workpiece to be assembled to the ceramic tube assembly station. The positioning tube 43 extends into the corresponding connector 103 to be assembled. The feeding fixture 42 moves to the position corresponding to the feeding hole. The ceramic tube feeding assembly 92 feeds the ceramic tube 102 to be assembled into the working part of the feeding fixture 42 from above the assembly platform 41 through the feeding hole. The driving part of the feeding fixture 42 drives its working part to move along the assembly slide to below the ejector pin 44. Under the drive of the corresponding driving component, the ejector pin 44 pushes the ceramic tube 102 to be assembled in the feeding fixture 42 into the connector 103 to be assembled through the positioning tube 43.

[0054] Optionally, the insertion loss detection mechanism 5 includes a detection probe 51 and an insertion loss tester 52. The detection probe 51 is set on the workbench 1 and is used to insert into the connector 103 to be tested. The insertion loss tester 52 is optically connected to the detection probe 51.

[0055] like Figure 1 and Figure 6As shown, in this embodiment, a longitudinal insertion loss detection slide rail is provided on the workbench 1 at the rear side of the conveying mechanism 2. The bottom of the insertion loss detection bracket is slidably connected to the insertion loss detection slide rail. The insertion loss detection drive can be an electric cylinder, pneumatic cylinder, or hydraulic cylinder, etc., which is connected to the insertion loss detection bracket to drive the insertion loss detection bracket to move back and forth. The detection probe 51 is set on the insertion loss detection bracket and can be driven by the corresponding drive to insert into the connector 103 of the workpiece to be tested or to be pulled out from the connector 103. An insertion loss tester 52 is also provided on one side of the insertion loss detection bracket on the workbench 1. The detection probe 51 and the insertion loss tester 52 are connected by optical fiber.

[0056] When the insertion loss detection mechanism 5 is working, the conveying mechanism 2 conveys the workpiece to be assembled to the insertion loss detection station. The insertion loss detection bracket moves back and forth, causing the detection probe 51 to be aligned with the connector 103 at different positions on the workpiece to be tested. The detection probe 51 is inserted into the corresponding connector 103 under the drive of its corresponding driving component, and is connected to the insertion loss tester 52 through the optical fiber, so as to detect whether the corresponding connector 103 is qualified.

[0057] Optionally, the sealing ring assembly mechanism 6 includes an opening component 61 and an assembly component 62. The opening component 61 is disposed on the worktable 1 and is used to open to open the sealing ring 104 or close to release the sealing ring 104. The assembly component 62 includes an inner sleeve 621 and an outer sleeve 622. The inner sleeve 621 is used to cooperate with the opening component 61 to pick up the sealing ring 104 fitted on the opening component 61. The outer sleeve 622 is slidably connected to the inner sleeve 621 and is used to assemble the sealing ring 104 fitted on the inner sleeve 621 onto the connector 103.

[0058] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the spreading component 61 includes a spreading platform and spreading plates. The spreading platform is provided with spreading grooves, and the four spreading grooves are arranged in a cross shape. Each spreading groove is provided with a spreading plate. The spreading plates can move along their respective spreading grooves under the drive of the corresponding driving components. Each spreading plate is provided with a protruding structure, which protrudes from the upper end face of the spreading platform. The assembly component 62 includes an inner sleeve 621 and an outer sleeve 622. The inner sleeve 621 is fitted inside the outer sleeve 622 and is slidably connected to the outer sleeve 622. The side wall of the inner sleeve 621 is provided with notches that match the position and size of the protruding structures of the four support plates.

[0059] When the sealing ring assembly mechanism 6 is working, the conveying mechanism 2 conveys the workpiece to be assembled to the sealing ring assembly station. The four expansion plates of the expansion assembly 61 retract, and the sealing ring clamp of the sealing ring assembly mechanism 6 clamps the sealing ring 104 to be assembled from the sealing ring feeding assembly 93 onto the expansion platform and fits it onto the four retracted protruding structures. Driven by the corresponding driving components, the four expansion plates move along their respective expansion grooves and open, thereby expanding the sealing ring 104. At this time, the outer sleeve 622 of the assembly assembly 62 slides to open the inner sleeve. When the inner sleeve 621 is exposed, the assembly assembly 62 moves as a whole to above the spreading platform. When the inner sleeve 621 is located at the center of the spreading platform, the assembly assembly 62 falls as a whole. The four spreading plates retract inward to fit the sealing ring 104 to be assembled onto the inner sleeve 621. The assembly assembly 62 then moves to above the corresponding connector 103 of the workpiece to be assembled and is lowered to mate with the connector 103. Then the outer sleeve 622 slides down to assemble the sealing ring 104 on the inner sleeve 621 into the annular groove on the outer wall of the connector 103.

[0060] Optionally, the fiber distribution box end module assembly equipment further includes a sealing ring detection mechanism 7. The sealing ring detection mechanism 7 includes a sealing ring detection component 71, a sealing ring detection bracket 72, and a sealing ring detection drive component 73. The sealing ring detection bracket 72 is slidably connected to the worktable 1. The sealing ring detection drive component 73 is used to drive the sealing ring detection bracket 72 to move along the width direction of the worktable 1. The sealing ring detection component 71 is disposed on the sealing ring detection bracket 72 and is used to detect the sealing ring 104 assembled on the connector 103.

[0061] like Figure 1 , Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, in this embodiment, a longitudinal sealing ring detection slide rail is provided on the workbench 1 at the rear side of the conveying mechanism 2. The bottom of the sealing ring detection bracket 72 is slidably connected to the sealing ring detection slide rail. The sealing ring detection drive component 73 can be an electric cylinder, pneumatic cylinder, or hydraulic cylinder, etc., and is connected to the sealing ring detection bracket 72 to drive the sealing ring detection bracket 72 to move back and forth. The sealing ring detection component 71 can be a camera. The camera is set on the sealing ring detection bracket 72. The sealing ring detection bracket 72 drives the sealing ring detection component 71 to move back and forth and captures images of each connector 103 on the workpiece to be assembled. The images captured by the camera are compared with preset images to determine whether the workpiece to be assembled is qualified.

[0062] Optionally, the fiber distribution box end module assembly equipment further includes a sorting mechanism 8, which includes a sorting bracket 81, a gripping structure 82, and a sorting drive 83. The sorting bracket 81 is mounted on the workbench 1, the gripping structure 82 is mounted on the sorting bracket 81 and is used to grip or release the fiber distribution box end module 100, and the sorting drive 83 is used to drive the gripping structure 82 to move.

[0063] like Figure 1 , Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, in this embodiment, the sorting bracket 81 adopts a gate-shaped bracket, which is set on the workbench 1 and parallel to the conveying mechanism 2. The gate-shaped bracket is provided with a sorting slide rail arranged longitudinally, and a sliding bracket is provided on the sorting slide rail. The sorting drive component 83 is drivenly connected to the sliding bracket and is used to drive the sliding bracket to slide back and forth. The gripping structure 82 is set on the sliding bracket and is used to grip or release the fiber box end module 100 after each assembly process is completed. A defective product recycling slide is provided below the gate-shaped bracket, and a qualified product conveyor belt is provided between the gate-shaped bracket and the conveying mechanism 2.

[0064] When the sorting mechanism 8 is working, the conveying mechanism 2 conveys the assembled workpieces to the sorting station. The gripping structure 82 moves downward and grips the workpiece. Based on the workpiece detection information, it is determined whether the workpiece is defective. If the gripped workpiece is defective, the sorting drive 83 drives the sliding bracket to move backward to above the defective product recovery chute, and at the same time, the gripping structure 82 releases the defective product. If the gripped workpiece is qualified, the sorting drive 83 does not start, and the gripping structure 82 directly descends and releases the workpiece onto the qualified product conveyor belt.

[0065] Optionally, the fiber distribution box end module assembly equipment further includes a feeding mechanism 9, which includes a fiber distribution box end cover plate feeding assembly 91, a ceramic tube feeding assembly 92, and a sealing ring feeding assembly 93.

[0066] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the fiber distribution box end cover plate loading assembly 91 is set on the workbench 1 and located on one side of the glue shortage detection station. The fiber distribution box end cover plate loading assembly 91 includes a loading conveyor belt and loading partitions. Multiple loading partitions are spaced apart along the length of the loading conveyor belt and divide it into multiple loading bins. Fiber distribution box end cover plates 101 are placed in the loading bins. A fiber distribution box end cover plate clamp is also provided on one side of the end of the loading conveyor belt. The fiber distribution box end cover plate clamp is used to clamp the fiber distribution box end cover plates 101 on the loading conveyor belt onto the clamping fixture 214 at the end of the conveying mechanism 2.

[0067] The ceramic tube feeding assembly 92 is set on the workbench 1 and located on one side of the ceramic tube assembly station. The sealing ring feeding assembly 93 is set on the workbench 1 and located on one side of the sealing ring assembly station. Both the ceramic tube feeding assembly 92 and the sealing ring feeding assembly 93 can adopt a structure including a vibratory feeder. The difference is that the ceramic tube 102 can be transported to the ceramic tube assembly mechanism 4 through a flexible hose, while the sealing ring 104 is transported through a slide and clamped by the sealing ring clamp of the sealing ring assembly mechanism 6.

[0068] While the disclosure is as stated above, its scope of protection is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of this disclosure, and all such changes and modifications will fall within the protection scope of this invention.
