[0007] The shell glue coating machine is provided with a shell glue coating gun on one side of the shell turnover platform, a translation linear guide rail is arranged on the upper surface of the shell glue coating machine, one end of the sliding block of the translation linear guide rail is provided with a longitudinal linear guide rail, a glue coating gun sliding block is arranged between the longitudinal linear guide rail and the shell glue coating gun, and the glue coating opening of the glue coating gun sliding block is arranged corresponding to the shell glue coating station;

[0008] The insulation body glue coating machine is provided with an insulation body glue coating gun on one side of the insulation body turnover platform, a translation linear guide rail is arranged on the upper surface of the insulation body glue coating machine, one end of the sliding block of the translation linear guide rail is provided with a longitudinal linear guide rail, a glue coating gun sliding block is arranged between the longitudinal linear guide rail and the insulation body glue coating gun, and the glue coating opening of the glue coating gun sliding block is arranged corresponding to the insulation body glue coating station;

[0009] A PLC control console is installed in the center of the front of the insulator coating machine. The PLC control console is connected to the insulator turnover platform, the shell turnover platform, the insulator lifting and rotating platform, the shell lifting and rotating platform, the coating gun slider, the hydraulic pump, the longitudinal linear guide, the translational linear guide, the first lifting seat, and the second lifting seat. Sensors are installed at the workstations on the rotating disks of the insulator lifting and rotating platform and the shell lifting and rotating platform. Sensors are connected to the PLC control console.

[0010] When assembling fiber optic connectors, the connector insulator and connector housing are prepared by manually matching the processing volume of the installation shift. The connector installation device is manually started via the PLC control console. After the connector installation device is started, the operating range of the insulator turnover platform, housing turnover platform, insulator lifting and rotating platform, housing lifting and rotating platform, glue gun slider, hydraulic pump, longitudinal linear guide, translational linear guide, first lifting seat, and second lifting seat are set via the PLC control console. After the operating data is set and before operation, each operating component receives data from the sensor circuit via the PLC control console and controls each operating component to enter the starting position.

[0011] After the PLC console is set up and automatically enters the starting position, manually place the first connector insulator at the center of the clamp on the insulator lifting and rotating platform. Align the pair of pin holes of the connector insulator with the pair of insulator positioning pins, and simultaneously press the connector insulator downwards. The clamp will flip upwards and clamp the lower end of the connector insulator. With the other hand, take the first connector housing and align the lower end of the connector housing with the housing gluing station hole on the housing lifting and rotating platform. Simultaneously, manually press the connector housing downwards, and the clamp will flip upwards and clamp the lower end of the connector housing. The first connector insulator and the first clamped connector housing constitute the first fiber optic connector component.

[0012] After the first fiber optic connector component is installed, the PLC control console is used to set the housing glue gun and the insulator glue gun to move to the set positions to apply glue to the corresponding glue application areas of the connector insulator and connector housing, respectively. While the housing glue gun and the insulator glue gun are applying glue, the insulator lifting and rotating platform and the housing lifting and rotating platform drive the connector insulator and connector housing to rotate synchronously. When the glue application reaches the glue application width of the connector insulator and connector housing, the housing glue gun and the insulator glue gun stop applying glue. After the glue application of the connector insulator and the connector housing is completed, the glue application of the first fiber optic connector component is finished.

[0013] After applying adhesive to the first fiber optic connector component, the housing adhesive gun and the insulator adhesive gun return to their initial positions. The second lifting seat pushes the insulator lifting and rotating platform and the connector insulator upwards. When a pair of pin holes in the middle of the connector insulator are fully inserted into a pair of pins, the second lifting seat stops. After the second lifting seat stops, the locking heads on the insulator lifting and rotating platform and the housing lifting and rotating platform are flipped downwards and released via the PLC control console, completing the separation of the connector insulator and connector housing from the insulator lifting and rotating platform and the housing lifting and rotating platform, respectively.

[0014] After the connector insulator and connector housing are separated, the PLC control console controls the first lifting seat and the second lifting seat to move downwards, thereby driving the insulator lifting and rotating platform and the housing lifting and rotating platform back to their original positions. At the same time, the connector insulator and the insulator turnover platform become one unit, and the connector housing and the housing turnover platform become one unit.

[0015] After the connector insulator and connector housing are separated, the PLC control console controls the insulator turnover platform and the housing turnover platform to rotate synchronously clockwise intermittently and switch between four stations. The insulator turnover platform and the housing turnover platform are separated from the insulator gluing station and the housing gluing station respectively through the station switching. The insulator turnover platform sequentially drives the connector insulator into the insulator turnover station and the pressing station, and the housing turnover platform sequentially drives the connector housing into the housing turnover hole position and the pressing station. After that, the lower end of the connector insulator corresponds to the insulator hole.

[0016] When the connector insulator and connector housing simultaneously enter the pressing station, the insulator turnover platform and the housing turnover platform stop rotating. The PLC control console controls the hydraulic pump to pressurize and push the hydraulic rod downward. At the same time, the hydraulic rod correspondingly pushes the lower end of the insulator adapter and connector insulator downward. The connector insulator stops when it enters the insulator hole to the bottom. After the connector insulator enters the insulator hole, the fiber optic connector is assembled with the connector insulator and the connector housing as one unit, that is, the assembly of the first fiber optic connector is completed.

[0017] After the first fiber optic connector is assembled, the PLC control console controls the hydraulic pump to apply reverse pressure, causing the hydraulic lever to return to its original position. Simultaneously, the hydraulic lever magnetically pulls the insulator adapter back to its original position. After the insulator adapter returns to its original position, the insulator turnover platform and the housing turnover platform rotate clockwise synchronously, changing positions. When the housing turnover platform rotates clockwise, causing the first fiber optic connector to change position and enter the unloading station, the insulator turnover platform and the housing turnover platform stop rotating. The first fiber optic connector is then manually unloaded from the unloading station. After unloading, the first fiber optic connector is placed on a turnover tray, completing the assembly and unloading of the first fiber optic connector. The above process is repeated continuously to assemble fiber optic connectors. Once the turnover tray is full of fiber optic connectors, they are transported to the operating platform for the next processing step.

[0018] Beneficial effects: The fiber optic connector installation device of the present invention is manually loaded and unloaded. The fiber optic connector installation device is controlled by programming through PLC console 14. The fiber optic connector installation device can automatically assemble and apply glue to fiber optic connectors. The fiber optic connectors automatically processed by the fiber optic connector installation device are precisely assembled. It can significantly reduce the use of manual labor, reduce production costs, and increase the economic benefits of enterprises by improving product quality. Attached Figure Description

The glue applicator nozzle of the glue applicator gun slider 8 is provided corresponding to the insulating glue applicator station 2-1.

[0038] A PLC control console 14 is installed in the middle of the front of the insulator coating machine 5. The PLC control console 14 is connected to the insulator turnover platform 2, the shell turnover platform 3, the insulator lifting and rotating platform 6, the shell lifting and rotating platform 7, the coating gun slider 8, the hydraulic pump 1-2, the longitudinal linear guide rail 11, the translational linear guide rail 12, the first lifting seat 4-1, and the second lifting seat 5-1. Sensors are installed at the workstations on the rotating disks of the insulator lifting and rotating platform 6 and the shell lifting and rotating platform 7. Sensors are connected to the PLC control console 14.

[0039] When assembling fiber optic connectors, the connector insulator 16 and connector housing 17 are prepared according to the processing volume of the manual pairing installation shift. The connector installation device is manually started through the PLC control console 14. After the connector installation device is started, the operating range of the insulator turnover platform 2, housing turnover platform 3, insulator lifting and rotating platform 6, housing lifting and rotating platform 7, glue gun slider 8, hydraulic pump 1-2, longitudinal linear guide 11, translational linear guide 12, first lifting seat 4-1, and second lifting seat 5-1 are set with the required operating data through the PLC control console 14.

At the same time, the connector housing 17 is manually pressed down, and the clamp 6-2 flips up and clamps the lower end of the connector housing 17. The first connector insulator 16 and the first clamped connector housing 17 are the first fiber optic connector components.

[0041] Example 2

[0042] After the first fiber optic connector component is installed, the PLC control console 14 is used to control the housing glue gun 9 and the insulator glue gun 10 to move to the set positions to apply glue to the corresponding glue application areas of the connector insulator 16 and connector housing 17. While the housing glue gun 9 and the insulator glue gun 10 are applying glue, the insulator lifting and rotating platform 6 and the housing lifting and rotating platform 7 drive the connector insulator 16 and connector housing 17 to rotate synchronously. When the glue application width of the connector insulator 16 and connector housing 17 is reached, the housing glue gun 9 and the insulator glue gun 10 stop applying glue. After the glue application of the connector insulator 16 and the connector housing 17 is completed, the glue application of the first fiber optic connector component is finished.

[0043] After applying adhesive to the first fiber optic connector component, the housing adhesive gun 9 and the insulator adhesive gun 10 return to their initial positions. The second lifting seat 5-1 pushes the insulator lifting and rotating platform 6 and the connector insulator 16 upwards. When a pair of pin holes 16-1 in the middle of the connector insulator 16 are fully inserted into a pair of mating pins 15-1, the second lifting seat 5-1 stops running. After the second lifting seat 5-1 stops running, the locking heads 6-2 on the insulator lifting and rotating platform 6 and the housing lifting and rotating platform 7 are flipped downwards and released by the PLC control console 14, completing the separation of the connector insulator 16 and the connector housing 17 from the insulator lifting and rotating platform 6 and the housing lifting and rotating platform 7, respectively.

[0044] After the connector insulator 16 and connector housing 17 are detached, the PLC control console 14 controls the first lifting seat 4-1 and the second lifting seat 5-1 to move downwards, respectively driving the insulator lifting and rotating platform 6 and the housing lifting and rotating platform 7 back to their original positions; at the same time, the connector insulator 16 and the insulator turnover platform 2 become one unit, and the connector housing 17 and the housing turnover platform 3 become one unit.

[0045] Example 3

[0046] After the connector insulator 16 and connector housing 17 are detached, the PLC control console 14 controls the insulator turnover platform 2 and housing turnover platform 3 to rotate synchronously clockwise intermittently and switch between four workstations. The insulator turnover platform 2 and housing turnover platform 3 are detached from the insulator gluing station 2-1 and the housing gluing station 3-1 respectively through the workstation switch. The insulator turnover platform 2 sequentially drives the connector insulator 16 into the insulator turnover station 2-3 and the pressing station 2-2. The housing turnover platform 3 sequentially drives the connector housing 17 into the housing turnover hole position 3-3 and the pressing station 2-2. After that, the lower end of the connector insulator 16 corresponds to the insulator hole 17-1.

[0047] Example 4

[0048] When the connector insulator 16 and the connector housing 17 simultaneously enter the pressing station 2-2, the insulator turnover platform 2 and the housing turnover platform 3 stop rotating. The PLC control console 14 controls the hydraulic pump 1-2 to pressurize and push the hydraulic rod 13 downward. At the same time, the hydraulic rod 13 correspondingly pushes the lower end of the insulator adapter 15 and the connector insulator 16 downward. The connector insulator 16 stops when it enters the insulator hole 17-1 to the bottom. After the connector insulator 16 enters the insulator hole 17-1, the fiber optic connector is assembled with the connector insulator 16 and the connector housing 17, that is, the assembly of the first fiber optic connector is completed.

[0049] Example 5

[0050] After the first fiber optic connector is assembled, the PLC control console 14 controls the hydraulic pump 1-2 to apply reverse pressure, driving the hydraulic rod 13 back to its original position. At the same time, the hydraulic rod 13 drives the insulator adapter 15 back to its original position through the magnetic attraction 13-1. After the insulator adapter 15 returns to its original position, the insulator turnover platform 2 and the housing turnover platform 3 rotate clockwise synchronously to change positions. When the housing turnover platform 3 drives the first fiber optic connector to change position and enter the unloading station 3-2 through clockwise rotation, the insulator turnover platform 2 and the housing turnover platform 3 stop rotating. The first fiber optic connector is then manually unloaded from the unloading station 3-2. After the first fiber optic connector is unloaded, it is placed on the turnover tray, completing the assembly and unloading of the first fiber optic connector. The above process is repeated to assemble fiber optic connectors continuously. After the turnover tray is full of fiber optic connectors, it is transported to the operating platform of the next processing step.
