[0001] This invention belongs to the field of automation equipment technology, and in particular relates to an automatic medical connector assembly machine. Background Technology

[0002] like Figure 2 As shown, a medical connector includes a T-type connector 1a, an upper connector 1g, and a side connector 1h. The upper connector 1g has an outer groove on its outer wall, into which a silicone ring 1b is fitted. A gasket 1c is placed inside the upper connector 1g. A threaded connector 1d is inserted into the upper connector 1g. A connector cover 1e is placed on the upper connector 1g, and a female needle base cover 1f is connected to the side connector 1h. Currently, assembly is done manually; there is no automated machinery to automatically assemble the T-type connector 1a, silicone ring 1b, gasket 1c, threaded connector 1d, connector cover 1e, and female needle base cover 1f into a medical connector. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the above-mentioned problems by providing an automated medical connector assembly machine that can automate assembly and has high assembly efficiency.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: The automatic medical connector assembly machine includes a frame, on which a fixture conveying mechanism is rotatably connected.

The ring support mechanism includes several ring support grippers, which are connected to a ring support multi-jaw cylinder. Limiting grooves are formed on the ring support grippers, and the limiting grooves are adapted to the size of the silicone rings. The upper part of the limiting groove is a protrusion, and the lower part of the limiting groove is a support. The length of the protrusion is less than the length of the support.

[0007] In the aforementioned automatic medical connector assembly machine, the gasket feeding mechanism includes a gasket flat conveying vibratory feeder mechanism, a gasket misalignment component, and a gasket picking mechanism. The gasket picking mechanism includes a picking component connected to a gasket longitudinal drive mechanism, which is connected to a gasket transverse drive mechanism.

The gasket pressing block is fixed on a gasket lifting bracket, which is fixedly connected to the gasket longitudinal drive mechanism. The picking rod is connected to the picking rod longitudinal drive mechanism. The gasket receiving block of the gasket misalignment component has a connected gasket receiving groove and a picking head groove. When the picking rod longitudinal drive mechanism drives the picking rod downward, the head end of the picking rod protrudes from the gasket pressing block.

[0008] In the aforementioned automatic medical connector assembly machine, the threaded connector feeding mechanism includes a threaded connector horizontal feeding vibratory plate mechanism, a threaded connector misalignment component, a flipping and picking mechanism, a glue-adding mechanism, and a feeding and assembly mechanism. The threaded connector misalignment component is located at the outlet end of the threaded connector horizontal feeding vibratory plate mechanism, and the flipping and picking mechanism is located between the threaded connector misalignment component and the glue-adding mechanism. The feeding and assembly mechanism includes a threaded connector bracket, on which a threaded connector lateral drive mechanism is provided.

[0009] In the aforementioned automatic medical connector assembly machine, the glue-adding mechanism includes a glue box, a glue-adding rod inside the glue box, the glue-adding rod being connected to a lifting drive mechanism, and a glue-adding gripper finger at the opening of the glue box, the glue-adding gripper finger being connected to a glue-adding claw cylinder. When the lifting drive mechanism drives the glue-adding rod to move upward to the glue-adding gripper finger, the glue-adding rod contacts the glue-adding gripper finger, and the glue on the glue-adding rod adheres to the glue-adding gripper finger.

[0010] In the aforementioned automatic medical connector assembly machine, the connector cover feeding mechanism includes a connector cover horizontal conveying vibratory feeder mechanism, a connector cover receiving mechanism, and a feeding mechanism. The feeding mechanism includes a feeding transverse drive mechanism mounted on a feeding support, which is connected to a feeding longitudinal drive mechanism.

The connector cover enters the connector cover receiving groove through the connector cover opening. The upper end of the connector cover receiving groove is open, and the clamping channel is located on both sides of the connector cover receiving groove.

[0011] In the aforementioned automatic medical connector assembly machine, the female needle base cap feeding mechanism includes a female needle base cap support, on which a female needle base cap vibrating plate is mounted. The vibrating plate is connected to a sliding plate, which has a sliding groove. A female needle base cap receiving mechanism is located below the sliding plate.

The female needle base cover outlet communicates with the female needle base cover through-hole through the female needle base cover receiving groove. A tightening mechanism is provided at the rear of the female needle base cover receiving mechanism. When the rotating part of the tightening mechanism moves toward the female needle base cover receiving mechanism, it passes through the female needle base cover through-hole, the female needle base cover receiving groove and the female needle base cover outlet in sequence.

Detailed Implementation

[0056] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

[0057] Example

[0058] like Figure 1 As shown, the automatic medical connector assembly machine includes a frame 058, on which a fixture conveying mechanism 001 is rotatably connected. Around the fixture conveying mechanism 001, a T-type connector feeding mechanism 100, a silicone ring feeding mechanism 200, a gasket feeding mechanism 300, a threaded connector feeding mechanism 400, a connector cover feeding mechanism 500, a female needle base cover feeding and assembly mechanism 700, a finished product unloading mechanism 052, and a defective product unloading mechanism 057 are arranged in sequence.

[0059] The fixture conveying mechanism 001 includes a first turntable mechanism 002 and a second turntable mechanism 003. The first turntable mechanism 002 and the second turntable mechanism 003 are both circumferentially equipped with a plurality of fixtures 055. A transfer mechanism 004 is provided between the first turntable mechanism 002 and the second turntable mechanism 003. For example... Figure 3 As shown, the transfer mechanism 004 includes a transfer bracket 022, on which a longitudinal transfer drive cylinder 023 is mounted. The longitudinal transfer drive cylinder 023 is connected to a transfer lifting bracket 024. The transfer lifting bracket 024 is equipped with a rotary cylinder 025, which is connected to a rotating plate 026. The rotating plate 026 is equipped with a transfer gripper cylinder 027, which is connected to a material transfer gripper finger 028. The longitudinal transfer drive cylinder 023 drives the material transfer gripper finger 028 to move downwards, and the transfer gripper cylinder 027 drives the material transfer gripper finger 028 to clamp the partially assembled T-joint 1a on the fixture 055 located on the first turntable 005. The rotary cylinder 025 drives the material transfer gripper finger 028 to rotate 180 degrees, clamping the partially assembled T-joint 1a from the first turntable 005 onto the second turntable 013.

[0060] like Figure 4-5As shown, the T-type connector feeding mechanism includes a T-type connector flat conveying vibratory feeder mechanism 101, a T-type connector misalignment component 102, and a T-type connector picking mechanism 103. The T-type connector flat conveying vibratory feeder mechanism 101 sequentially conveys the T-type connectors 1a to the T-type connector misalignment component 102 in the state where the upper connector 1g faces upward and the side connector 1h faces backward. The T-type connector misalignment component 102 misaligns the T-type connectors 1a to be picked up with the T-type connectors 1a on the T-type connector flat conveying vibratory feeder mechanism 101. The T-type connector picking mechanism 103 clamps the T-type connectors 1a located on the T-type connector misalignment component 102 and moves them to the fixture 055, placing the T-type connectors 1a on the fixture 055.

[0061] The T-joint material handling mechanism 103 includes a T-joint material handling bracket 108, a T-joint lateral drive mechanism 109 on the T-joint material handling bracket 108, a T-joint fixing plate 110 on the T-joint lateral drive mechanism 109, a T-joint longitudinal drive mechanism 111 on the T-joint fixing plate 110, a T-joint lifting plate 112 on the T-joint longitudinal drive mechanism 111, and a T-joint material handling gripper cylinder 113 on the T-joint lifting plate 112. The T-joint material handling gripper cylinder 113 is connected to the T-joint material handling gripper finger 114. Both the T-joint lateral drive mechanism 109 and the T-joint longitudinal drive mechanism 111 are drive cylinders.

[0062] The T-joint lateral drive mechanism 109 drives the T-joint picking gripper 114 to move to the T-joint misalignment assembly 102. The T-joint longitudinal drive mechanism 111 drives the T-joint picking gripper 114 to move downward. The T-joint picking gripper cylinder 113 drives the T-joint picking gripper 114 to clamp the T-joint 1a located on the T-joint misalignment assembly 102. After clamping, the T-joint longitudinal drive mechanism 111 drives the T-joint picking gripper 114 to move upward. The T-joint lateral drive mechanism 109 drives the T-joint picking gripper 114 to move to the fixture 055. The T-joint longitudinal drive mechanism 111 drives the T-joint picking gripper 114 to move downward. The T-joint picking gripper 114 places the T-joint 1a on the fixture 055. The T-joint picking gripper cylinder 113 drives the T-joint picking gripper 114 to release the T-joint 1a. This process is repeated.

[0063] like Figure 6-9As shown, this silicone ring feeding mechanism includes a silicone ring horizontal feeding vibratory feeder mechanism 214, a silicone ring misalignment assembly 215, a silicone ring picking mechanism 216, a ring support mechanism 236, and a ring pushing mechanism 237. Both the silicone ring picking mechanism 216 and the ring pushing mechanism 237 are connected to the three-dimensional drive system 238. The silicone ring horizontal feeding vibratory feeder mechanism 214 feeds the silicone ring 1b to the silicone ring misalignment assembly 215. The silicone ring misalignment assembly 215 misaligns the silicone ring 1b to be picked up with the silicone ring 1b on the silicone ring horizontal feeding vibratory feeder mechanism 214. The silicone ring picking mechanism 216 moves the silicone ring 1b to the ring support mechanism 236. The ring support mechanism 236 expands the silicone ring 1b, which then fits onto the ring pushing mechanism 237. The ring pushing mechanism 237 pushes the silicone ring 1b onto the T-shaped connector 1a located on the fixture 055.

[0064] like Figure 7 As shown, the ring support mechanism 236 includes several ring support fingers 209, which are adapted to the feeding groove 203, and the thickness of the ring support fingers 209 is less than the thickness of the feeding groove 203. The ring support fingers 209 are connected to the ring support multi-claw cylinder 210. A limiting groove 211 with an outward opening is provided on the ring support fingers 209. Above the limiting groove 211 is a protrusion 212, and below the limiting groove 211 is a support portion 213. The length of the protrusion 212 is less than the length of the support portion 213. The limiting groove 211 is adapted to the size of the silicone ring 1b.

[0065] like Figure 8 As shown, the pushing ring mechanism 237 includes a feeding guide rod 201. The head 202 of the feeding guide rod 201 has several feeding grooves 203, which are interconnected and evenly distributed circumferentially. The feeding grooves 203 divide the head 202 into several feeding fingers 204. A push block 205 is slidably connected to the feeding guide rod 201. The feeding guide rod 201 is fixed to the silicone ring lifting plate 227, and the push block 205 is connected to the third drive mechanism 234.

[0066] like Figure 6 As shown, the 3D drive system 238 includes a silicone ring lifting plate 227, which is connected to an X-axis drive mechanism, and the X-axis drive mechanism is connected to a Y-axis drive mechanism. A silicone ring picking mechanism 216 and a ring pushing mechanism 237 are mounted on the silicone ring lifting plate 227. The X-axis drive mechanism drives the silicone ring lifting plate 227 to move horizontally, causing the silicone ring picking mechanism 216 and the ring pushing mechanism 237 to move horizontally as well. The silicone ring picking mechanism 216 is positioned above the silicone ring misalignment component 215, and the ring pushing mechanism 237 is positioned above the ring supporting mechanism 236. The Y-axis drive mechanism drives the silicone ring lifting plate 227 to move downwards, causing the silicone ring picking mechanism 216 and the ring pushing mechanism 237 to move downwards as well. At this time, the silicone ring picking mechanism 216 picks up material from the silicone ring misalignment component 215, and the ring pushing mechanism 237 guides material from the ring supporting mechanism 236.

[0067] Specifically, the material handling process of the silicone ring picking mechanism 216 is as follows: the silicone ring 1b located on the silicone ring misalignment component 215 is sucked up, thereby completing the material handling. The material guiding process of the pushing mechanism 237 is as follows: the multi-claw cylinder 210 drives the support ring clamping finger 209 to be in the open state, the feeding rod 201 moves down, the support ring clamping finger 209 is inserted into the feeding groove 203 of the head 202, the multi-claw cylinder 210 drives the support ring clamping finger 209 to close, the protrusion 212 of the support ring clamping finger 209 retracts into the feeding groove 203, after retraction, the silicone ring 1b detaches from the feeding groove 203 and attaches to the feeding rod 201.

[0068] The Y-axis drive mechanism moves the silicone ring lifting plate 227 upward, causing the silicone ring picking mechanism 216 and the ring pushing mechanism 237 to move upward as well. After moving to a certain position, the X-axis drive mechanism moves the silicone ring lifting plate 227 horizontally, with the silicone ring picking mechanism 216 positioned above the ring supporting mechanism 236 and the ring pushing mechanism 237 positioned above the fixture 055. The Y-axis drive mechanism then moves the silicone ring lifting plate 227 downward, causing the silicone ring picking mechanism 216 and the ring pushing mechanism 237 to move downward as well. At this time, the silicone ring picking mechanism 216 releases the silicone ring 1b it has picked up onto the ring supporting mechanism 236, and the ring pushing mechanism 237 pushes the silicone ring 1b onto the T-shaped connector 1a located on the fixture 055.

[0069] The feeding process of the silicone ring feeding mechanism 216: The multi-claw cylinder 210 drives the ring clamping finger 209 to the closed state, releasing the silicone ring 1b. The silicone ring 1b falls onto the protrusion 212 and onto the support 213. The multi-claw cylinder 210 then drives the ring clamping finger 209 to the open state, and the silicone ring 1b is inserted into the limiting groove 211. The silicone ring 1b is then opened, thus achieving the silicone ring 1b being fitted onto the ring clamping finger 209. The feeding process of the ring pushing mechanism 237: A T-shaped connector 1a is provided in the fixture 055. The feeding guide rod 201 moves downward, and the head 202 is inserted into the upper connector 1g of the T-shaped connector 1a. The third driving mechanism 234 drives the push block 205 to move downward, and the push block 205 pushes the silicone ring 1b onto the T-shaped connector 1a, thus completing the assembly of the silicone ring 1b.

[0070] The limiting groove 211 limits the silicone ring 1b, preventing it from moving longitudinally on the support finger 209. The short distance between the protrusion 212 and the support 213 reduces the likelihood of the silicone ring 1b tilting and getting caught on the support finger 209 during descent. The limiting groove 211 positions the silicone ring 1b at the upper end of the support finger 209, with a significant distance between the silicone ring 1b and the base of the support finger 209. During the transfer of the silicone ring 1b from the support finger 209 to the pushing mechanism 237, the precision of the downward movement of the pushing mechanism 237 is not critical; its effective position is within a range. Even if the downward movement of the pushing mechanism 237 is slightly too far or too short, the silicone ring 1b can still be successfully transferred from the support finger 209 to the pushing mechanism 237, resulting in a high assembly success rate. Compared to existing technologies, this method reduces the risk of component damage and significantly extends the equipment's lifespan.

[0071] like Figure 10-14 As shown, this gasket feeding mechanism includes a gasket flat conveying vibratory feeder mechanism 301, a gasket misalignment assembly 302, and a gasket picking mechanism 303. The gasket flat conveying vibratory feeder mechanism 301 conveys the gaskets onto the gasket misalignment assembly 302, and the gasket picking mechanism 303 assembles the gasket 1c located on the gasket misalignment assembly 302 into the T-type connector 1a located on the fixture 055.

[0072] The gasket misalignment assembly 302 includes a gasket receiving block 322, which is slidably connected to the misalignment bracket and connected to the misalignment drive cylinder. The gasket receiving block 322 is provided with a gasket receiving groove 325 and a material picking head groove 326, which are connected to each other.

[0073] The gasket picking mechanism 303 includes a picking component 304, a longitudinal picking mechanism 305, a transverse picking mechanism 306, and a gasket picking bracket 307. The transverse picking mechanism 306 is fixed on the gasket picking bracket 307, and a fixed bracket 335 is provided on the transverse picking mechanism 306. The longitudinal picking mechanism 305 is fixed on the gasket fixed bracket 335 and is connected to the gasket lifting bracket 310. The gasket lifting bracket 310 is provided with the picking component 304. The transverse picking mechanism 306 drives the picking component 304 to move laterally, and the longitudinal picking mechanism 305 drives the picking component 304 to move longitudinally. Both the transverse picking mechanism 306 and the longitudinal picking mechanism 305 are driving cylinders.

[0074] The material handling assembly 304 includes a material handling rod 308, a material handling rod longitudinal drive mechanism 311, and a gasket pressing block 309. The gasket pressing block 309 is fixed on the gasket lifting bracket 310. A bushing 321 is provided on the gasket lifting bracket 310. The material handling rod 308 is slidably connected to the bushing 321 and the gasket pressing block 309. The material handling rod 308 is connected to the material handling rod longitudinal drive mechanism 311. The material handling rod longitudinal drive mechanism 311 is fixed on the gasket lifting bracket 310. The material handling rod longitudinal drive mechanism 311 is a drive cylinder.

[0075] During material handling, gasket 1c is located in the gasket receiving groove 325 of the gasket misalignment assembly 302. Gasket 1c has a cut 339. The longitudinal drive mechanism 305 drives the material handling assembly 304 to move downward, and the gasket pressing block 309 presses on the gasket 1c located in the gasket receiving groove 325. The longitudinal drive mechanism 311 drives the material handling rod 308 to move downward. The head end of the material handling rod 308 passes through the gasket pressing block 309, first inserts into the cut 339 of the gasket 1c, and then passes through the cut 339 to insert into the material handling head groove 326. The longitudinal drive mechanism 305 drives the material handling assembly 304 to move upward. At this time, the gasket 1c is mounted on the material handling rod 308. The transverse drive mechanism 305 drives the material handling assembly 304 to move upward. The 6th drive assembly 304 moves towards fixture 055. After it is in place, the longitudinal drive mechanism 305 drives the assembly 304 to move downward again. The head of the pick-up rod 308 brings the gasket 1c into the upper connector 1g of the T-joint. The gasket pressing block 309 presses the gasket 1c. The longitudinal drive mechanism 311 drives the pick-up rod 308 to move upward. The head of the pick-up rod 308 retracts into the gasket pressing block 309. The longitudinal drive mechanism 305 drives the assembly 304 to move upward, leaving the gasket pressing block 309 in the upper connector 1g. The transverse drive mechanism 306 drives the pick-up rod 308 to move to the gasket misalignment assembly 302. This process is repeated. The gasket 1c is fixed by the pick-up rod 308 passing through the cut 339 of the gasket 1c. Compared with traditional vacuum suction, the fixation is more reliable, and the gasket 1c is less likely to fall off during the transfer process.

[0076] like Figure 15-22As shown, the threaded connector feeding mechanism 400 includes a threaded connector flat feeding vibratory feeder mechanism 401, a threaded connector misalignment component 402, a flipping and picking mechanism 403, an adhesive adding mechanism 404, and a feeding assembly mechanism 405. The threaded connector misalignment component 402 is located at the outlet end of the threaded connector flat feeding vibratory feeder mechanism 401, and the flipping and picking mechanism 403 is located between the threaded connector misalignment component 402 and the adhesive adding mechanism 404. The threaded connector flat conveying vibratory feeder mechanism 401 conveys the threaded connectors 1d sequentially to the threaded connector misalignment assembly 402 with the unthreaded end facing upwards and the threaded end facing downwards. The threaded connector misalignment assembly 402 misaligns the threaded connectors 1d to be picked up with the threaded connectors 1d on the threaded connector flat conveying vibratory feeder mechanism 401. The flipping material picking mechanism 403 clamps the threaded connectors 1d located on the threaded connector misalignment assembly 402, and then flips them 180 degrees. The loading assembly mechanism 405 clamps the threaded connectors 1d located on the flipping material picking mechanism 403 and moves them to the glue application mechanism 404. The glue application mechanism 404 applies glue to the threaded connectors 1d. After glue application, the loading assembly mechanism 405 assembles the threaded connectors 1d onto the upper connector 1g of the T-type connector 1a and rotates them at a certain angle to ensure that the glue is evenly applied. The threaded joint feeding and assembly is automated through the cooperation of the threaded joint flat feeding vibratory plate mechanism 401, the threaded joint misalignment component 402, the flipping material picking mechanism 403, the glue adding mechanism 404, and the feeding and assembly mechanism 405, which greatly improves efficiency.

[0077] The flipping material handling mechanism 403 includes a flipping material handling gripper 443, which is connected to a flipping material handling gripper cylinder 444. The flipping material handling gripper cylinder 444 is fixed on a flipping plate 445. The flipping plate 445 is rotatably connected to a threaded joint lifting bracket 446. The flipping plate 445 is connected to a swing rotation cylinder 447. The threaded joint lifting bracket 446 is connected to a flipping material handling lifting drive cylinder 448, which is fixed on a base 449.

[0078] In the initial state, the flipping material-picking gripper finger 443 faces the threaded joint misalignment component 402. The flipping material-picking lifting drive cylinder 448 drives the threaded joint lifting bracket 446 to move down, simultaneously driving the flipping material-picking claw cylinder 444 and the material-picking gripper finger 443 to move down. The flipping material-picking claw cylinder 444 drives the flipping material-picking gripper finger 443 to clamp the threaded joint 1d located on the threaded joint misalignment component 402. The flipping material-picking lifting drive cylinder 448 drives the threaded joint lifting bracket 446 to rise, simultaneously driving the flipping material-picking claw cylinder 444 and the material-picking gripper finger 443 to rise. Then, the swing rotation cylinder 447 drives the flipping plate 445 to rotate 180 degrees, and the flipping material-picking gripper finger 443 faces the glue-adding mechanism 404.

[0079] The glue dispensing mechanism 404 includes a glue container 426, within which a glue dispensing rod 427 is provided. The glue dispensing rod 427 includes a dispensing head 431 and a connecting rod 432. The connecting rod 432 is connected to a lifting drive mechanism 428, which is a drive cylinder. The opening of the glue container 426 also has a glue dispensing gripper 429, which is connected to a glue dispensing gripper cylinder 430. The glue dispensing gripper 429 has a glue dispensing groove. The lifting drive mechanism 428 drives the connecting rod 427. The connecting rod 432 moves upward, thereby causing the glue-applying head 431 to move upward. When the glue-applying head 431 moves to the glue-applying clamp finger 429, the glue-applying clamp cylinder 430 drives the glue-applying clamp finger 429 to clamp the glue-applying head 431. Because the glue-applying head 431 is located inside the glue box 426, glue is attached to the surface of the glue-applying head 431. When the glue-applying clamp finger 429 clamps the glue-applying head 431, the glue-applying head 431 comes into contact with the inner wall of the glue-applying clamp groove, and the glue on the glue-applying head 431 adheres to the inner wall of the glue-applying clamp groove. The glue-applying head 431 is located at the lower part of the glue box 426. Glue is applied by moving the glue-applying head 431 upward. Glue needs to be added to the glue box 426 only when the glue is too low to submerge the glue-applying head 431, meaning that glue does not need to be added frequently, reducing the workload of the workers.

[0080] The feeding and assembly mechanism 405 includes a threaded connector bracket, on which a threaded connector transverse drive mechanism 407 is mounted. The threaded connector transverse drive mechanism 407 is a servo electric cylinder. The threaded connector bracket 406 also includes a transverse slide rail 451 and a transverse slider 452. Both the threaded connector transverse drive mechanism 407 and the transverse slider 452 are connected to a threaded connector fixing plate 453. The threaded connector fixing plate 453 includes a threaded connector longitudinal drive mechanism 408, which is a servo motor. The threaded connector longitudinal drive mechanism 408 is connected to a threaded connector lifting plate 454. A rotation drive mechanism 409 is fixed to the threaded connector. On the head lifting plate 454, the rotary drive mechanism 409 includes a threaded joint drive cylinder 412, a rack 413, and a gear 414. The threaded joint drive cylinder 412 is connected to the rack 413, the rack 413 meshes with the gear 414, and the gear 414 is fixed on the shaft 415. One end of the shaft 415 is rotatably connected to the upper support plate 416, and the other end of the shaft 415 is rotatably connected to the lower support plate 417 and extends out of the lower support plate 417 to connect with the threaded joint loading claw cylinder 410. That is, the gear 414 is fixedly connected to the threaded joint loading claw cylinder 410, and the threaded joint loading claw cylinder 410 is connected to the threaded joint loading claw 411.

[0081] A space 418 for accommodating the gear 414 and a rack groove 419 for inserting the tooth surface 436 of the rack 413 are formed between the upper support plate 416 and the lower support plate 417. The space 418 and the rack groove 419 are connected by a gear port 420. The upper support plate 416 and the lower support plate 417 are connected to the side support plate 437. The side support plate 437 is provided with a guide rail 421 and a slider 422. The slider 422 is provided with a push block 423, which is connected to the rack 413. A threaded joint drive cylinder 412 is fixed on the side support plate 437 and is connected to the push block 423. The piston end 424 of the threaded joint drive cylinder 412 is located on the upper end face 425 of the push block 423. The structure is compact, the overall volume is small, and it occupies little space.

[0082] The longitudinal drive mechanism 408 of the threaded joint drives the threaded joint lifting plate 454 to move downward, which simultaneously drives the threaded joint feeding claw cylinder 410 and the threaded joint feeding finger 411 to move downward. The threaded joint feeding claw cylinder 410 drives the threaded joint feeding finger 411 to clamp the threaded joint 1d located on the flipping and picking mechanism 403. After picking up the material, the glue-adding head 431 adds glue to the glue-adding finger 429. After the glue-adding finger 429 completes the glue-adding, the transverse drive mechanism 407 of the threaded joint drives the threaded joint feeding finger 411 to move towards the glue-adding mechanism 404. When it moves to the glue-adding finger 429, the glue-adding claw cylinder 430 drives the glue-adding finger 429 to clamp the threaded joint 1d located at the threaded joint feeding finger 411. The inner wall of the glue-adding groove is in contact with the threaded joint 1d, and the glue-adding head 431 is in contact with it. The glue on the inner wall of the glue-adding groove adheres to the threaded joint 1d.

[0083] The longitudinal drive mechanism 408 drives the threaded connector lifting plate 454 to move upward, simultaneously driving the threaded connector loading claw cylinder 410 and the threaded connector loading fingers 411 to move upward. The transverse drive mechanism 407 drives the threaded connector loading fingers 411 to move towards the fixture 055, moving them above the T-type connector 1a. The longitudinal drive mechanism 408 drives the threaded connector loading fingers 411 to move downward, and the threaded connector 1d is inserted into the upper connector 1g of the T-type connector 1a. The rotation drive mechanism 409 drives the threaded connector 1d to rotate a certain angle. More specifically, the threaded connector drive cylinder 412 drives the rack 413 to move, thereby driving the gear 414 to rotate, which in turn drives the threaded connector loading claw cylinder 410 and the threaded connector loading fingers 411 to rotate a certain angle. The threaded connector 1d rotates a certain angle relative to the upper connector 1g, so that the adhesive is coated evenly.

[0084] The feeding and assembly mechanism 405 has multiple functions: first, it removes the threaded connector 1d from the flipping and picking mechanism 403 and moves it to the glue-applying mechanism 404 for glue application; second, it moves the glued threaded connector 1d to the fixture 055 and inserts it into the upper connector 1g of the T-type connector 1a; and third, it rotates the threaded connector 1d to ensure even glue application. In other words, the feeding and assembly mechanism 405 combines conveying and rotation, thus greatly reducing the overall size of the mechanism and occupying less space.

[0085] The connector cover feeding mechanism 500 includes a connector cover flat conveying vibratory feeder mechanism 501, a connector cover receiving mechanism 502, and a feeding mechanism 503. The connector cover flat conveying vibratory feeder mechanism 501 conveys the connector cover 1e to the connector cover receiving mechanism 502, and the feeding mechanism 503 assembles the connector cover 1e located on the connector cover receiving mechanism 502 onto the T-type connector 1a located on the fixture 055.

[0086] like Figure 23-28 As shown, the connector cover receiving mechanism 502 includes a connector cover receiving block 510, which is connected to a receiving longitudinal drive mechanism 511. The receiving longitudinal drive mechanism 511 is a drive cylinder and is fixed on a receiving bracket 512. A photoelectric switch 524 is provided on the receiving longitudinal drive mechanism 511. The photoelectric switch 524 is used to detect the presence or absence of the connector cover 1e in the connector cover receiving groove 513. The connector cover receiving block 510 is provided with a connector cover receiving groove 513, a connector cover opening 514, and a clamping channel 515. The upper end of the connector cover receiving groove 513 is open, and the clamping channel 515 is located on both sides of the connector cover receiving groove 513.

[0087] The connector cover receiving mechanism 502 also includes a baffle assembly 525, which is disposed between the connector cover receiving block 510 and the connector cover horizontal conveying vibratory feeder mechanism 501. The baffle assembly 525 includes a front baffle 526, which is connected to a front baffle longitudinal drive mechanism 527. The front baffle longitudinal drive mechanism 527 is connected to the receiving bracket via a fixed column 528. When the front baffle longitudinal drive mechanism 527 drives the front baffle 526 downwards, the front baffle 526 lies horizontally between the connector cover receiving block 510 and the connector cover horizontal conveying vibratory feeder mechanism 501, preventing the connector cover 1e from being conveyed towards the connector cover receiving block 510. When the front baffle longitudinal drive mechanism 527 drives the front baffle 526 upwards, the connector cover receiving block 510 and the connector cover horizontal conveying vibratory feeder mechanism 501 are connected, allowing the connector cover 1e to be conveyed towards the connector cover receiving block 510.

[0088] The receiving bracket 512 is also equipped with a receiving auxiliary block 529, which is located between the connector cover receiving block 510 and the connector cover flat conveying vibratory feeder mechanism 501. A baffle assembly 525 is mounted on the receiving auxiliary block 529. The receiving auxiliary block 529 has a receiving auxiliary groove 530, which communicates with the connector cover discharge groove, the receiving auxiliary groove 530, the connector cover through-hole 514, and the connector cover receiving groove 513. The receiving auxiliary groove 530 is equipped with a receiving auxiliary pressure plate 531, which has a hole 532.

[0089] The feeding mechanism 503 includes a feeding transverse drive mechanism 505 mounted on a feeding bracket 504, which is a drive cylinder. A connector cover fixing plate 537 is mounted on the feeding transverse drive mechanism 505. A feeding longitudinal drive mechanism 506 is fixed to the connector cover fixing plate 537 and connected to a tilting bracket 507. A connector cover feeding gripper cylinder 508 is rotatably connected to the tilting bracket 507. The connector cover feeding gripper cylinder 508 is connected to a feeding swing cylinder 549 and a connector cover feeding gripper finger 509. The feeding longitudinal drive mechanism 506 is a drive cylinder. The transverse feeding drive mechanism 505 drives the connector cover feeding clamp finger 509 to move laterally, and the longitudinal feeding drive mechanism 506 drives the connector cover feeding clamp finger 509 to move longitudinally, so as to assemble the connector cover 1e located on the connector cover receiving mechanism 502 onto the T-type connector 1a located on the fixture 055.

[0090] The connector cover 1e located in the connector cover flat conveying vibratory plate mechanism 501 is conveyed to the receiving auxiliary groove 530 and enters the connector cover receiving groove 513 through the connector cover opening 514. The feeding longitudinal drive mechanism 506 drives the connector cover feeding clamp finger 509 to move to the connector cover receiving block 510. The connector cover feeding clamp finger 509 clamps the connector cover 1e through the clamping channel 515. The receiving longitudinal drive mechanism 511 drives the connector cover receiving block 510 to move down. The connector cover receiving block 510 separates from the connector cover 1e. The connector cover feeding clamp finger 509 clamps the connector cover 1e. The feeding transverse drive mechanism 505 drives the connector cover feeding clamp finger 509 to move laterally. After moving a certain distance, the feeding swing cylinder 549 drives the flipping bracket 507 to flip 90 degrees in the direction of the fixture 055. The feeding longitudinal drive mechanism 506 drives the connector cover feeding clamp finger 509 to move down. The connector cover 1e is assembled onto the T-type connector 1a.

[0091] During the process of the connector cover loading clamp 509 moving the connector cover 1e towards the fixture 055, the receiving longitudinal drive mechanism 511 drives the connector cover receiving block 510 upward, and the front baffle longitudinal drive mechanism 527 drives the front baffle 526 upward, connecting the connector cover receiving block 510 and the receiving auxiliary block 529. The connector cover 1e is moved from the receiving auxiliary groove 530 to the connector cover receiving groove 513. Then, the front baffle longitudinal drive mechanism 527 drives the front baffle 526 downward, and the front baffle 526 lies horizontally between the connector cover receiving block 510 and the receiving auxiliary block 529, blocking the connector cover 1e from being conveyed towards the connector cover receiving block 510, waiting for the connector cover loading clamp 509 to clamp and move the connector cover 1e located in the connector cover receiving groove 513. This process is repeated.

[0092] The connector cover feeding gripper 509 does not directly grip the connector cover 1e located at the outlet of the connector cover flat conveying vibratory feeder mechanism 501. Instead, the connector cover 1e is first conveyed from the connector cover discharge track to the receiving auxiliary block 529, and then to the connector cover receiving groove 513 of the connector cover receiving block 510. The connector cover feeding gripper 509 moves to the receiving groove 513 and grips the connector cover 1e. The longitudinal receiving drive mechanism 511 drives the connector cover receiving block 510 to move downwards. The connector cover 1e is either supported by the receiving block 510 or held and fixed by the connector cover feeding gripper 509, making it less likely for the connector cover 1e to fall off, resulting in a high success rate. The connector cover feeding mechanism 500 achieves automated feeding of the connector cover 1e, greatly improving the efficiency of connector cover feeding.

[0093] like Figure 20-32 As shown, the needle base cover feeding and assembly device includes a needle base cover support 701, a needle base cover vibrating plate 702 on the support 701, the vibrating plate 702 being connected to a sliding plate 703, a sliding groove 704 on the sliding plate 703, and a needle base cover receiving mechanism 705 below the sliding plate 703. The needle base cover receiving mechanism 705 has a vertically arranged needle base cover receiving groove 706, which is convex in shape and communicates with the sliding groove 704. The lower end of the needle base cover receiving groove 706... The discharge point is provided with a female needle base cover discharge port 707. The female needle base cover receiving mechanism 705 is provided with a female needle base cover through port 708 on the same axis as the female needle base cover discharge port 707. The female needle base cover discharge port 707 communicates with the female needle base cover through port 708 through a female needle base cover receiving groove 706. A tightening mechanism 709 is provided behind the female needle base cover receiving mechanism 705. When the rotating part 710 of the tightening mechanism 709 moves toward the female needle base cover receiving mechanism 705, it passes through the female needle base cover through port 708, female needle base cover receiving groove 706 and female needle base cover discharge port 707 in sequence.

[0094] The female needle base cover 1f is conveyed from the female needle base cover vibratory feeder 702 to the slide plate 703. Under its own weight, the female needle base cover 1f enters the female needle base cover receiving groove 706 of the female needle base cover receiving mechanism 705 through the sliding groove 704 of the slide plate 703. The female needle base cover receiving groove 706 is convex in shape, which limits the female needle base cover 1f and prevents it from falling off the female needle base cover receiving mechanism 705. The lowermost female needle base cover 1f faces the female needle base cover outlet 707. The rotating component 710 of the tightening mechanism 709 pushes the female needle base cover 1f onto the side connector 1h of the T-type connector 1a located on the fixture 055. More specifically, the rotating component 710 moves rapidly toward the female needle base cover 1f, which remains horizontal. The distance between the female needle base cover receiving mechanism 705 and the fixture 055 is relatively short. The rotating component 710 inserts the female needle base cover 1f into the side connector 1h, and then rotates, assembling the female needle base cover 1f onto the T-type connector 1a. No material handling mechanism is required; only the material conveying, receiving, and tightening mechanism 709 is needed, greatly simplifying the structure and reducing the footprint.

[0095] The needle base cover receiving mechanism 705 includes a receiving plate 711, a needle base cover pressure plate 712, and a discharge baffle 713. The receiving plate 711, the needle base cover pressure plate 712, and the discharge baffle 713 are detachable for easy partial replacement and cost reduction. The discharge baffle 713 is located below the needle base cover pressure plate 712. The needle base cover discharge port 707 is located on the discharge baffle 713, and the needle base cover through port 708 is located on the receiving plate 711. The discharge baffle 713 is a flexible plate. The diameter of the needle base cover discharge port 707 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the needle base cover 1f, and the diameter of the needle base cover through port 708 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the needle base cover 1f.

[0096] The bottommost female needle base cover 1f faces the female needle base cover outlet 707. The diameter of the female needle base cover outlet 707 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the female needle base cover 1f. The female needle base cover outlet 707 restricts the front end of the female needle base cover 1f, preventing it from falling out without external force. The diameter of the female needle base cover opening 708 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the female needle base cover 1f, restricting the rear end of the female needle base cover 1f to prevent it from falling out. Because the discharge baffle 713 is a flexible plate, the fact that the female needle base cover outlet 707 is slightly smaller than the female needle base cover 1f does not affect the subsequent ejection of the female needle base cover 1f. More specifically, the discharge baffle 713 is a polyurethane flexible plate, which is wear-resistant, aging-resistant, and elastic.

[0097] The discharge plate 723 presses against the discharge baffle 713. Both the discharge plate 723 and the discharge baffle 713 are fixed to the receiving plate 711 by fasteners. The discharge plate 723 has a discharge port 724 corresponding to the discharge port 707 of the female needle base cover. Because the discharge baffle 713 is made of soft material, it is not easy to directly fix it to the receiving plate 711, and even if it is fixed, the fixation is not secure enough. However, the discharge plate 723 is made of harder material, and fixing the discharge baffle 713 to the receiving plate 711 via the discharge plate 723 results in a more secure fixation.
