[0003] The automatic sealing ring sleeving system has low automation and poor efficiency. For example, the sleeving equipment for the sealing ring is easily contaminated by oil stains and the like, which may lead to the failure of the sealing ring sleeving operation. After the failure of the sealing ring sleeving, if the sealing ring that failed to be sleeved remaining on the system is not cleaned in time, it will affect the subsequent sealing ring sleeving operation of the sealing ring sleeving equipment, resulting in a decrease in the qualification rate of the subsequent automatic sealing ring sleeving. However, in the prior art, there is no equipment for cleaning contaminants such as sealing rings in the automatic sealing ring sleeving system.

[0049] As used herein, the term "one embodiment" or "embodiment" refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "first", "second", "third", and "fourth" in the specification, claims, and drawings of the present invention are used to distinguish different objects, rather than to describe a specific order. In addition, the terms "comprising" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product, or device that includes a series of steps or units is not limited to the listed steps or units, but may optionally further include steps or units not listed, or may optionally further include other steps or units inherent to these processes, methods, products, or devices.

[0050] The following introduces an automatic sealing ring sleeving system provided by the present application. Please refer to Figures 1A to 6 , and the system includes:

[0051] A turntable (1), an operating mechanism (2), and a sealing ring recovery mechanism (4); the operating mechanism (2) includes a plug input mechanism (21), a sealing ring sleeving mechanism (22), and a plug output mechanism (24) sequentially arranged along the rotation direction of the turntable (1) on the outer circle of the turntable; an installation station for fixing the plug is arranged near the outer circle of the turntable (1), and the turntable (1) is used to sequentially align the installation station with the operating stations of each mechanism in the operating mechanism (2) by rotation.

[0052] Specifically, as Figure 2 shown, in some optional embodiments, installation stations are arranged near the outer circle of the turntable (1), and plug fixing devices (111) are installed at the installation stations. The turntable (1) is used to sequentially align the installation stations with the operating stations of each mechanism in the operating mechanism (2) by rotation.

[0053] Specifically, after the turntable (1) rotates a certain angle, it stops for a preset time period, and within the preset time period, each mechanism performs the operations of each mechanism for the operating station.

[0054] The plug input mechanism (21) includes a plug feeding vibrating disk (211) and a first gripper (212). The first gripper (212) is used to move back and forth between the plug feeding vibrating disk (211) and the operating station of the plug input mechanism (21) to grab the plug and install it at the installation station.

[0055] Specifically, the operating station of the plug input mechanism (21) is the position where the first gripper (212) installs the plug at the installation station aligned with the plug input mechanism (21).

[0056] As Figure 3As shown, in some alternative embodiments, the plug input mechanism (21) further includes a first guide rail (213) for guiding the first gripper (212) to move laterally above the plug feeding vibrating bowl (211) and the installation station.

[0057] Specifically, the plug feeding vibrating bowl (211) arranges the plugs in sequence and outputs them to the position to be grabbed on the plug feeding vibrating bowl (211) in the required placement posture of the first gripper (212) in sequence. In this way, it is ensured that the first gripper (212) effectively grabs the plug each time and correctly installs it at the installation station on the turntable (1).

[0058] In some alternative embodiments, the plug input mechanism (21) further includes a first driving device (214) for driving the first gripper (212) to move and rotate to grab the plug from the discharge port of the plug feeding vibrating bowl (211) and move it to the operating station of the plug input mechanism (21) to install the plug on the plug fixing device at the installation station aligned with the plug input mechanism (21).

[0059] Specifically, the first driving device (214) may be composed of one or more cylinders with adjustable strokes ( Figure 3 not numbered in the figure) to achieve the lateral movement driving force and longitudinal movement driving force of the first gripper (212). In this way, precise control of the moving position of the first gripper (212) is achieved.

[0060] The seal ring sleeving mechanism (22) includes a seal ring feeding vibrating bowl (221) and a second gripper (222). The second gripper (222) is used to move back and forth between the seal ring feeding vibrating bowl (221) and the operating station of the seal ring sleeving mechanism (22) to grab the seal ring and install it on the plug at the installation station.

[0061] Specifically, the operating station of the seal ring sleeving mechanism (22) is the position when the second gripper (222) installs the seal ring at the installation station aligned with the seal ring sleeving mechanism (22).

[0062] As Figure 4 shown, in some alternative embodiments, the seal ring sleeving mechanism (22) further includes a second guide rail (223) for guiding the second gripper (222) to move laterally above the seal ring feeding vibrating bowl (221) and the installation station.

[0063] In some alternative embodiments, the seal ring sleeving mechanism (22) further includes a second driving device (224). The second driving device (224) is configured to drive the second gripper (222) to move and rotate, so as to grab a seal ring from the discharge port of the seal ring feeding vibrating disk (221) and move it to the operating station of the seal ring sleeving mechanism (22), in order to install the seal ring on the plug at the aligned installation station of the seal ring sleeving mechanism (22).

[0064] Specifically, the second driving device (224) may be composed of one or more cylinders with adjustable strokes ( Figure 4 not labeled in the figure) to achieve the lateral movement driving force and longitudinal movement driving force of the second gripper (222). In this way, precise control of the moving position of the second gripper (222) is realized.

[0065] Specifically, the seal ring feeding vibrating disk (221) arranges the seal rings in sequence and outputs them to the position to be clamped on the seal ring feeding vibrating disk (221) in the required placement posture of the second gripper (222) in sequence. In this way, it is ensured that the second gripper (222) effectively grabs the seal ring each time and correctly installs it at the designated position of the plug at the aligned installation station of the seal ring sleeving mechanism (22).

[0066] Please refer to Figure 4 , in some alternative embodiments, the seal ring sleeving mechanism (22) includes a baffle (225); the baffle (225) is arranged outside the second gripper (222) and is used to sleeve the seal ring on the second gripper (222) to the designated position on the plug.

[0067] In some alternative embodiments, the above system further includes a vision device, and the vision device is fixed to the operating mechanism (2) and / or the turntable (1).

[0068] Specifically, the vision device can also be connected to the rotation driving device to facilitate improving the effectiveness of the captured images.

[0069] In some alternative embodiments, the vision device is fixed at a position on the lower surface of the baffle (225) away from the second gripper (222) and is used to monitor the seal ring sleeving operation of the seal ring sleeving mechanism (22).

[0070] In some alternative embodiments, the system further includes a vision device, and the vision device is fixed to the central fixed shaft of the turntable (1).

[0071] It should be noted that the present application does not limit the installation position of the vision device on the operating mechanism (2) and the turntable (1), as long as it can monitor the seal ring sleeving operation of the seal ring sleeving mechanism (22).

[0072] Specifically, the vision device can take pictures in coordination with the rotation period of the turntable (1). For example, pictures are taken within a preset time before the turntable (1) rotates, where the preset time is based on the completion of the sealing ring sleeving operation by the second gripper (222). In this way, the validity of the image is ensured.

[0073] Specifically, the second gripper (222) is used to grasp the sealing ring in a form that expands the sealing ring, so as to perform the sealing ring sleeving operation on the plug on the work station.

[0074] In order to automatically install the plug, silicone oil is usually applied to the plug. Usually, lubricating silicone oil is manually applied around the plug, which is slow, the environment is dirty and messy, and the passing rate of application is low.

[0075] Please refer to Figure 1A 、 Figure 1B and Figure 5 In some optional embodiments, the system further includes a silicone oil application mechanism (23), and the silicone oil application mechanism (23) is arranged between the sealing ring sleeving mechanism (22) and the plug output mechanism (24) along the rotation direction of the turntable (1) for applying silicone oil to the surface of the plug on the installation work station;

[0076] The silicone oil application mechanism (23) includes an oil application device (231), a plug rotation device (232) and an oil application bracket (233);

[0077] The fixed end of the oil application device (231) and the plug rotation device (232) are respectively fixed to the oil application bracket (233); the oil application end of the oil application device (231) is aligned with the plug on the installation work station aligned by the silicone oil application mechanism (23);

[0078] The plug rotation device (232) is used to rotate the plug.

[0079] Specifically, as Figure 2 shown, in some optional embodiments, at least four installation work stations are arranged near the outer ring on the turntable (1), and plug fixing devices (111) are installed on all of the at least four installation work stations. The turntable (1) is used to sequentially align the at least four installation work stations with each operation work station in the operation mechanism (2) by rotation. The related operations of plug feeding, sealing ring sleeving, plug silicone oil application and plug output are realized in sequence.

[0080] Please refer to Figure 5 In some optional embodiments, the plug rotation device (232) is arranged directly above the plug on the installation work station aligned by the silicone oil application mechanism (23); the end of the rotation shaft of the plug rotation device (232) is used to cooperate with the top through hole of the plug to drive the plug to rotate.

[0081] In some alternative embodiments, the oiling device (231) includes a brush head (2311) and an oil barrel (2312). The brush head (2311) and the oil barrel (2312) are connected through an oil pipe. The oil barrel (2312) is fixed to the top of the oiling bracket (233), and the position of the brush head (2311) is set according to the operation station of the silicone oil applying mechanism (23). The oil barrel (2312) provides the required silicone oil for the brush head (2311), and the brush head (2311) is used to apply silicone oil around the plug during the rotation of the plug.

[0082] As Figure 6 shown, in some alternative embodiments, the plug output mechanism (24) includes a plug blanking receiving tray (241) and a third gripper (242). The third gripper (242) is used to move the plug on the installation station to the plug blanking receiving tray (241).

[0083] In some alternative embodiments, the plug output mechanism (24) further includes a fourth guide rail (243). The fourth guide rail (243) is used to guide the third gripper (242) to move horizontally above the plug blanking receiving tray (241) and the installation station.

[0084] In some alternative embodiments, the plug output mechanism (24) further includes a fourth driving device (244). The fourth driving device (244) is used to drive the third gripper (242) to move and rotate, so as to grab the plug from the installation station and move it to the plug blanking receiving tray (241).

[0085] Specifically, the fourth driving device (244) may be composed of one or more cylinders with adjustable strokes ( Figure 6 not labeled in the figure) to achieve the lateral movement driving force and longitudinal movement driving force of the third gripper (242). In this way, precise control of the movement position of the third gripper (242) is achieved.

[0086] Specifically, the above-mentioned first guide rail (213), second guide rail (223) and fourth guide rail (243) all extend radially based on the turntable. This makes the structure of the operating mechanism (2) compact, regular, and reduces the volume, while also facilitating equipment maintenance.

[0087] Please refer to Figure 2 , in some alternative embodiments, the seal ring recycling mechanism (4) includes a cleaning structure (41) and a recycling structure (42); the recycling structure (42) is arranged on the turntable (1); the cleaning structure (41) is used to push the seal ring to be processed corresponding to the failure of the seal ring sleeving to the recycling structure (42).

[0088] In some alternative embodiments, the cleaning structure (41) is fixed to the turntable (1) or the operating mechanism (2).

[0089] In some alternative embodiments, the cleaning structure (41) is disposed on the turntable (1); the cleaning structure (41) is fixed to the central fixed shaft of the turntable (1), the cleaning structure (41) extends radially outward along the turntable (1), and the distance between the extended portion of the cleaning structure and the plane of the turntable (1) is less than the thickness of the sealing ring; the recycling structure (42) is a sunken groove on the upper surface of the turntable.

[0090] In some alternative embodiments, the sunken groove is based on a fan-shaped structure, the cleaning structure (41) is a telescopic structure that can be telescoped along the extending direction, or the cleaning structure (41) is a plate-shaped structure, and the extending surface of the plate-shaped structure is perpendicular to the plane of the turntable.

[0091] In this embodiment, during the rotation of the turntable (1), the sealing ring on the surface of the turntable (1) is pushed into the sunken groove by the cleaning structure (41), without manual operation and supervision.

[0092] In some alternative embodiments, the recycling structure (42) is a sunken groove on the outer ring of the turntable (1), extending along the periphery of the turntable (1);

[0093] The cleaning structure (41) is a blowing device, disposed on the central fixed shaft of the turntable, and protruding from the surface of the turntable (1); the blowing device is used to blow the sealing ring on the turntable (1) into the sunken groove.

[0094] Specifically, the blowing direction of the blowing device can be rotated, and the sealing ring on the turntable (1) can be recycled at any time. The outer wall of the sunken groove is higher than the upper surface of the turntable, which can prevent the sealing ring from being blown onto the table surface below the turntable and polluting the table surface.

[0095] In some alternative embodiments, the cleaning structure (41) is fixed to the fixed end of the brush head in the oiling device (231). This is convenient for installation, and before oiling, the sealing ring is pushed into the recycling structure (42) to prevent the sealing ring from being contaminated with silicone oil and making it difficult to push the sealing ring.

[0096] In some alternative embodiments, the cleaning structure (41) is a brush structure, and the brush structure can be telescoped respectively along the radial and longitudinal directions of the turntable.

[0097] In some alternative embodiments, the recycling structure (42) is a sunken groove in the central area of the turntable (1);

[0098] The cleaning structure (41) is a blowing device. The cleaning structure (41) is arranged on the operating mechanism and is set according to the operating stations in the operating mechanism. The blowing device is used to blow the sealing ring on the turntable (1) into the sinking groove.

[0099] In the above embodiment, when it is determined that the sealing ring is not successfully sleeved based on the monitoring result of the above vision device, the sealing ring can be pushed into the recovery structure (42) through the cleaning structure (41).

[0100] The following introduces a specific embodiment of an automatic sealing ring sleeving method of the present application. Figure 7 It is a schematic flowchart of an automatic sealing ring sleeving method provided by an embodiment of the present application. This specification provides method operation steps such as in the embodiment or flowchart, but based on routine or non-creative labor, there may be more or fewer operation steps. The step sequence listed in the embodiment is only one way among the execution sequences of numerous steps and does not represent the only execution sequence. When the actual system or server product executes, it can be executed in the method sequence shown in the embodiment or the drawing or executed in parallel (for example, in an environment of parallel processors or multi-threaded processing). Specifically, as Figure 7 shown, the method may include:

[0101] S702: Install a plug on the installation station on the turntable (1) through the plug input mechanism (21); sleeve the plug on the turntable (1) through the sealing ring sleeving mechanism (22); output the plug with the sealing ring successfully sleeved on the turntable (1) through the plug output mechanism (24).

[0102] S704: Obtain the images of the turntable (1) and the operating mechanism (2) captured by the vision device.

[0103] In some optional embodiments, obtaining the images of the turntable (1) and the operating mechanism (2) captured by the vision device includes: obtaining the images including the installation station aligned by the sealing ring sleeving mechanism (22) based on the rotation period of the turntable (1). In this way, the effectiveness of the images is increased and the time for identifying the failure of sealing ring sleeving is reduced.

[0104] S706: Determine the position of the sealing ring to be processed when the sealing ring sleeving fails based on the images.

[0105] In some optional embodiments, determining the position of the sealing ring to be processed when the sealing ring sleeving fails based on the images includes:

[0106] Judging whether the sealing ring sleeving fails based on the images;

[0107] When it is determined that the sealing ring sleeving fails, determine the position of the sealing ring to be processed based on the images.
