[0017] The present application will be described in detail below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0018] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2The application provides an automatic assembly mechanism for an upper special-shaped rubber ring of a connector, which comprises an upper rubber ring incoming component 1 and an upper rubber ring grabbing component 2 arranged on the side of the output end of the upper rubber ring incoming component 1, wherein the upper rubber ring grabbing component 2 comprises an upper rubber ring X-axis moving module 21, an upper rubber ring Z-axis moving module 22 arranged on the moving end of the upper rubber ring X-axis moving module 21, an upper rubber ring pneumatic clamp jaw component 23 arranged on the Z-axis moving module 22 and a positioning support component 24, wherein the positioning recesses are arranged on the protrusions of the positioning support component 24 corresponding to the special-shaped rubber ring, and the upper rubber ring pneumatic clamp jaw component 23 penetrates through the positioning support component 24.

[0019] During operation, the special-shaped rubber ring is sent out by the upper rubber ring incoming component 1 and moved to the material taking range of the upper rubber ring grabbing component 2. The upper rubber ring X-axis moving module 21 and the upper rubber ring Z-axis moving module 22 cooperate to move the upper rubber ring pneumatic clamp jaw component 23 to the material taking position, and the upper rubber ring pneumatic clamp jaw component 23 is lowered so that the upper rubber ring pneumatic clamp jaw component 23 props up the special-shaped rubber ring from the inside, thereby lifting the special-shaped rubber ring. At the same time, the positioning recesses of the positioning support component 24 and the protrusions of the special-shaped rubber ring are embedded in each other, thereby providing the special-shaped rubber ring with alignment and limiting. Then the upper rubber ring X-axis moving module 21 is started to move the picked special-shaped rubber ring to the upper connector, and the special-shaped rubber ring is pushed from the upper rubber ring pneumatic clamp jaw component 23 to the connector by the pushing of the positioning support component 24, thereby realizing the positioning and sleeving assembly of the special-shaped rubber ring.

[0020] The moving end of the upper rubber ring Z-axis moving module 22 is provided with a lifting cylinder 25, and the output end of the lifting cylinder 25 is connected with the upper rubber ring pneumatic clamp jaw component 23 or the positioning support component 24. The upper rubber ring pneumatic clamp jaw component 23 or the positioning support component 24 is driven to move relatively by the lifting cylinder 25, thereby realizing the pushing of the special-shaped rubber ring to the connector.

[0021] The upper rubber ring pneumatic clamp jaw component 23 comprises a bidirectional cylinder 231 arranged on the moving end of the upper rubber ring Z-axis moving module 22 and inner support jaws 232 arranged on the output ends on both sides of the bidirectional cylinder 231, and the outer side surface of the inner support jaw 232 is arc-shaped. Before material taking, the bidirectional cylinder 231 is in a contraction state, at this time, the distance between the two inner support jaws 232 is smaller than the inner diameter of the special-shaped rubber ring, so as to facilitate the extension of the inner support jaws 232 into the special-shaped rubber ring, and then the bidirectional cylinder 231 is started to make the inner support jaws 232 open to the two sides, thereby tensioning and supporting the special-shaped rubber ring from the inside. The outer side surface of the inner support jaw 232 is arc-shaped, thereby matching the shape of the special-shaped rubber ring and avoiding damage to the special-shaped rubber ring.

[0022] The upper rubber ring incoming assembly 1 comprises a vibrating disc 11 and a guide feeding mechanism 12 connected with the output end of the vibrating disc 11. The special-shaped rubber ring is poured into the vibrating disc 11, and is vibrated and fed by the vibrating disc 11, so that the special-shaped rubber ring is arranged to move in a feeding direction meeting the feeding requirements at the guide feeding mechanism 12, and the needs of subsequent taking and assembling are met.

[0023] Please refer to Figure 3 , the output end of the upper rubber ring incoming assembly 1 is provided with a pre-stretching mechanism 3, the pre-stretching mechanism 3 comprises a pre-stretching platform 31, a limiting block 32 arranged around the pre-stretching platform 31, a pre-stretching cylinder 33 arranged at both ends of the pre-stretching platform 31, and a pre-stretching push block 34 arranged on the output end of the pre-stretching cylinder 33, and the limiting block 32 and the pre-stretching push block 34 surround to form a pre-stretching station. A pre-stretching lifting cylinder 35 is arranged above the pre-stretching cylinder 33 close to one side of the upper rubber ring incoming assembly 1, and the output end of the pre-stretching lifting cylinder 35 is connected with the pre-stretching cylinder 33. When incoming, the pre-stretching lifting cylinder 35 lifts the pre-stretching cylinder 33 close to one side of the upper rubber ring incoming assembly 1, so as to avoid hindering the incoming of the special-shaped rubber ring. When the special-shaped rubber ring moves onto the pre-stretching platform 31, the pre-stretching lifting cylinder 35 lowers the pre-stretching cylinder 33 close to one side of the upper rubber ring incoming assembly 1. The pre-stretching push block 34 is moved to the middle direction by starting the pre-stretching lifting cylinders 35 on both sides, so as to push and extrude the special-shaped rubber ring, so that the inside of the special-shaped rubber ring is expanded, and the expansion direction of the special-shaped rubber ring is guided by the limiting block 32, so that the inner supporting jaw 232 of the upper rubber ring pneumatic jaw assembly 23 extends into the inside of the special-shaped rubber ring, so as to support and tension the special-shaped rubber ring.

[0024] Please refer to Figure 4 , the output end of the upper rubber ring incoming assembly 1 is provided with an upper rubber ring guide wheel set 4, the upper rubber ring guide wheel set 4 comprises a guide bracket 41, guide cylinders 42 arranged on both sides of the guide bracket 41, and a plurality of guide wheels 43 arranged on the output end of the guide cylinders 42, and the guide cylinders 42 on both sides drive the guide wheels 43 to move to the middle direction, and the top opening 411 of the guide bracket 41. After the upper rubber ring grabbing assembly 2 picks up the special-shaped rubber ring, it is moved above the upper rubber ring guide wheel set 4, and the upper rubber ring pneumatic jaw assembly 23 is driven to move downward, so that the upper rubber ring pneumatic jaw assembly 23 moves through the top opening 411 of the guide bracket 41 to a position in contact with the connector, and then the guide cylinders 42 are started to push the guide wheels 43 out, and then the special-shaped rubber ring is pushed downward by the positioning and supporting assembly 24, so that the special-shaped rubber ring is sleeved on the top of the connector. During the pushing process, the guide wheels 43 clamp the special-shaped rubber ring and the connector to avoid the situation that the special-shaped rubber ring moves upward when the upper rubber ring pneumatic jaw is separated, which causes displacement.

[0025] In summary, the application sends the special rubber ring by the rubber ring feeding assembly, picks up the special rubber ring by the rubber ring pneumatic gripper assembly, thereby lifting the special rubber ring, at the same time, the positioning recess of the positioning and supporting assembly and the protrusion of the special rubber ring are mutually embedded, thereby providing the special rubber ring with alignment and limiting, then pushing the special rubber ring from the rubber ring pneumatic gripper assembly to the connector by the positioning and supporting assembly, realizing the positioning and sleeving assembly of the special rubber ring, thereby realizing the quick positioning and assembly of the special rubber ring on the top of the connector, effectively improving the overall assembly efficiency.

[0026] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, and is not used to limit the present application, any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement within the spirit and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
