[0043] ​​In the description of this invention, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0044] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0045] Example 1:

[0046] like Figures 1-15 As shown, a device for mass assembly of spring clip caps using rapid spring clips includes a frame 1. A rapid spring clip mounting mechanism 3 and a spring clip cap mounting mechanism 2 are mounted opposite each other on the frame. The rapid spring clip mounting mechanism has a rapid spring clip mounting position for placing a rapid spring clip 8, and the spring clip cap mounting mechanism has a spring clip cap mounting position for placing a spring clip cap 7. The rapid spring clip mounting positions and spring clip cap mounting positions are mounted opposite each other. A drive power module is also mounted on the frame to drive the rapid spring clip mounting mechanism and the spring clip cap mounting mechanism to move closer to or further apart. The spring clip cap at the spring clip cap mounting position is mounted on the rapid spring clip at the rapid spring clip mounting position under the drive power module. The drive power module 4 is equipped with a control switch 6. The power module adopts a linear reciprocating drive mechanism. The drive power module 4 needs to provide the power required for the installation of one or more spring clip caps and quick spring clips. It also has the function of controlling the stroke to ensure that the spring clip caps and quick spring clips can be correctly installed when pushed forward, and that there is enough distance for the quick spring clips to be removed when separated. The linear reciprocating drive mechanism can be a structure that provides linear power, such as a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, or lead screw. A guide mechanism 5 is also installed on the frame. The guide mechanism 5 plays a guiding role during the movement, so that the relative position of the center line of the spring clip caps and quick spring clips remains unchanged when the drive power module is pushed forward. The guide mechanism adopts a linear sliding structure such as linear bearings, optical shafts, slides, and guide rail sliders.

[0047] The main function of the elastic strip cap mounting mechanism 2 is to fix the elastic strip cap. After the elastic strip cap is mounted with the quick elastic strip, the elastic strip cap can be detached from the mechanism. The elastic strip cap is mostly made of plastic material. The material around the fixed position of the elastic strip cap is also made of a material with similar hardness to that of the elastic strip cap, so as to prevent the elastic strip cap from being worn during installation. The elastic strip cap mounting mechanism includes an elastic strip cap mounting seat 201. Multiple elastic strip cap mounting positions 202 are arranged along the length direction of the elastic strip cap mounting seat. An elastic strip cap lower mounting plate 203 and an elastic strip cap buckle plate 204 are mounted on the elastic strip cap mounting seat 201 at positions corresponding to the elastic strip cap mounting positions. The elastic strip cap lower mounting plate and the elastic strip cap buckle plate are mounted oppositely. An opening groove 205 matching the contour of the elastic strip cap is formed in the bottom of the elastic strip cap buckle plate. The material of the elastic strip cap lower mounting plate and the elastic strip cap buckle plate is similar to that of the elastic strip cap, such as PVC, PP, nylon, rubber, etc.

[0048] The main function of the quick elastic strip mounting mechanism 3 is to fix the quick elastic strip. The quick elastic strip is easy to install and take out. The surface of the quick elastic strip is provided with paint. The paint at several stress points is easily damaged during the installation of the elastic strip cap. The material at the stress points is relatively soft, such as plastic, nylon, etc. The quick elastic strip mounting mechanism mainly includes an elastic strip mounting seat 301. Multiple elastic strip mounting positions 303 are arranged along the length direction of the elastic strip mounting seat. A cover plate 302 is mounted on the elastic strip mounting seat at a position corresponding to the upper side of the quick elastic strip mounting position. The cover plate prevents the quick elastic strip from being detached. The cover plate plays a limiting role due to the slope of the elastic strip and the slope of the elastic strip mounting seat during the installation of the elastic strip cap. The cover plate plays a safety role during the installation of the elastic strip cap. At the same time, the width of the cover plate cannot be too wide so as to facilitate the installation and taking out of the quick elastic strip. The material is relatively soft. A quick elastic strip slope plate 304 is mounted on the elastic strip mounting seat 301 at a position corresponding to the inner side of the quick elastic strip mounting position. The quick elastic strip slope plate has a slope surface 308. The slope surface 308 is in contact with the arc portion 703 at the end of the middle toe of the quick elastic strip. The quick elastic strip slope plate 304 is made of soft material. A flat slope portion 305 is mounted on the elastic strip mounting position at a position corresponding to the placement area of the middle toe 701 of the quick elastic strip. The flat slope portion makes the middle toe of the quick elastic strip parallel to the movement direction of the elastic strip cap. Side toe installation slopes 306 are mounted on the elastic strip mounting position at positions corresponding to the sides of the toe of the quick elastic strip. Side toe blocking strips 307 are mounted at the front ends of the two side toe installation slopes. The front ends of the two side toes 702 of the quick elastic strip are in contact with the side toe blocking strips during the installation of the quick elastic strip.
