[0045] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0046] Example 1

[0047] One implementation method of the automatic assembly device for the cassette sealing ring of this application is as follows: Figures 1 to 9 As shown, it includes: a base 8, a control box 82, a first vibrating feeding mechanism 1, a positioning module, a second vibrating feeding mechanism 2, and an assembly mechanism.

[0048] The base 8 is provided with a mounting bracket 81 and a positioning module mounting seat 83. The positioning module is fixedly mounted on the positioning module mounting seat 83; the assembly mechanism is fixedly mounted on the mounting bracket 81, and the assembly mechanism is located above the clamping mechanism and the discharge port of the second vibrating feeder, and is used to assemble the sealing ring provided by the second vibrating feeder onto the card holder held by the clamping mechanism. The first vibrating feeder 1 and the second vibrating feeder 2 are fixedly mounted on the base 8 through the corresponding first vibrator mounting seat 121 and second vibrator mounting seat 221, respectively.

[0049] The first vibrating feeding mechanism 1 is used to transport the card tray along the X-axis direction; the second vibrating feeding mechanism 2 is used to transport the sealing ring along the X-axis direction; the positioning module is used to receive the card tray transmitted by the first vibrating feeding mechanism 1, and to position the card tray, and then to attach the sealing ring to the card tray; the assembly mechanism is mounted on the positioning module to assemble the sealing ring onto the card tray positioned by the positioning module.

[0050] In the embodiment, the positioning module comprises a moving mechanism, a pushing mechanism, a clamping mechanism and a limiting mechanism. The pushing mechanism and the clamping mechanism are oppositely arranged and spaced apart in the X-axis direction to define a pushing position between the pushing mechanism and the clamping mechanism. The limiting mechanism is arranged on the side of the clamping mechanism away from the pushing mechanism. The moving mechanism is arranged on one side of the discharge port of the first vibrating feeding mechanism 1. The moving mechanism is used to receive the card holder provided by the first vibrating feeding mechanism 1 from the discharge port of the first vibrating feeding mechanism 1, and then transport the card holder along the Y-axis direction to the pushing position. The card holder on the moving mechanism is pushed into the clamping mechanism by the pushing mechanism until the card holder abuts against the limiting mechanism. Then the clamping mechanism clamps the card holder. The two sides of the card holder in the X-axis direction are positioned by the limiting mechanism and the pushing mechanism, and the two sides of the card holder in the Y-axis direction are positioned by the clamping mechanism. In this way, the card holder can be positioned on four sides to obtain a better positioning effect, so that the sealing ring can be accurately fitted on the card holder in the subsequent process, and the sealing ring assembly quality is improved. Of course, in other embodiments, the limiting mechanism can not be provided.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 2 In the embodiment, the first vibrating feeding mechanism 1 can be a vibrating feeding mechanism commonly used in the industry, as long as it can realize the transmission of the card holder. Similarly, the second vibrating feeding mechanism 2 is also the same. In the embodiment, the transmission directions of the first vibrating feeding mechanism 1 and the second vibrating feeding mechanism 2 are parallel to the X-axis direction.

[0052] Specifically, the first vibrating feeding mechanism 1 comprises a first linear vibrator 12 and a first vibrating feeding rack 11 arranged on the first linear vibrator 12. The first vibrating feeding rack 11 is internally provided with a feeding groove 111. The first vibrating feeding mechanism 1 is installed on the base 8 through a first vibrator mounting seat 121.

[0053] The second vibrating feeding mechanism 2 comprises a second linear vibrator 22 and a second vibrating feeding rack 21 arranged on the second linear vibrator 22. The second vibrating feeding rack 21 is internally provided with a sealing ring conveying groove 211. The second vibrating feeding mechanism 2 is installed on the base 8 through a second vibrator mounting seat 221.

[0054] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4In the embodiment, the transfer mechanism comprises a first cylinder 31 and a transport jig 32. The first cylinder 31 is arranged on the base 8 through the positioning module mounting seat 83 and located at the side of the discharge port of the first vibration feeding mechanism 1. The transport jig 32 is provided with a loading groove 321 for loading the card holder, and the transport jig 32 is fixedly connected to the movable end of the first cylinder 31. The first cylinder 31 is used to reciprocatingly drive the transport jig 32 along the Y-axis direction, so that the transport jig 32 moves from the side of the discharge port of the first vibration feeding mechanism 1 to the pushing position (i.e. between the pushing mechanism and the clamping mechanism), or moves from the pushing position to the side of the discharge port of the first vibration feeding mechanism 1.

[0055] Specifically, the transfer mechanism further comprises a first connecting plate 311 and a first sliding rail 313. The first sliding rail 313 is fixedly installed on the positioning module mounting seat 83, and the bottom of the first connecting plate 311 is fixedly connected with a first sliding block 312. The first sliding block 312 and the first sliding rail 313 are movably connected, and the transport jig 32 is fixedly installed on the first connecting plate 311.

[0056] The two ends of the loading groove 321 in the length direction are open, and the length direction of the loading groove 321 is parallel to the direction in which the first vibration feeding mechanism conveys the card holder. When the transport jig 32 is located at the side of the discharge port of the first vibration feeding mechanism 1, the port of the first vibration feeding mechanism is aligned with the discharge port of the first vibration feeding mechanism in the length direction of the loading groove 321, so as to receive the card holder provided by the discharge port of the first vibration feeding mechanism. The card holder in the feeding groove 111 of the first vibration feeding mechanism 1 can be transferred into the loading groove 321 of the transport jig 32. The power for pushing the card holder into the loading groove 321 is provided by the first linear vibrator 12. When the card holder is pushed into the loading groove 321, the first cylinder 31 pushes the transport jig 32 to the position between the pushing mechanism and the clamping mechanism, so that the card holder is subsequently pushed into the clamping mechanism by the pushing mechanism.

[0057] Further, the side of the transport jig 32 facing the first vibration feeding mechanism 1 is also fixedly provided with a baffle 33. When the first cylinder 31 pushes the transport jig 32 to the position between the pushing mechanism and the clamping mechanism, the baffle 33 blocks the side of the discharge port of the feeding groove 111, which limits the subsequent card holder and avoids the subsequent card holder from moving out of or even falling off from the discharge port of the feeding groove 111.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 7The clamping mechanism comprises clamping arms for clamping the card holder. The clamping arms comprise a movable clamping arm 52 and a fixed clamping arm 53. The side of the fixed clamping arm 53 facing the pushing mechanism is provided with a baffle part 531 extending along the Y-axis direction to the side of the discharge port of the first vibrating feeding mechanism 1 and spaced from the discharge port of the first vibrating feeding mechanism 1. When the transport jig 32 is located at the side of the discharge port of the first vibrating feeding mechanism 1, the baffle part 531 blocks the side of the discharge port of the loading groove 321, thereby limiting the card holder and avoiding damage to the card holder or the equipment due to movement of the card holder beyond the range after the card holder is transported from the feeding groove 111 of the first vibrating feeding mechanism 1 to the loading groove 321 of the transport jig 32, and avoiding the card holder from falling from the discharge port of the loading groove 321.

[0059] Specifically, the clamping mechanism further comprises a fourth cylinder 51, the movable end of the fourth cylinder 51 is fixedly connected with the movable clamping arm 52, and is used for controlling the movable clamping arm 52 to move towards or away from the fixed clamping arm 53.

[0060] More specifically, please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the clamping mechanism further comprises a cylinder seat 511, a connecting part 512 and a connecting seat 54. The connecting seat 54 is fixedly arranged on the positioning module mounting seat 83 and is fixedly connected with the fixed clamping arm 53 and the cylinder seat 511. The fourth cylinder 51 is fixedly installed on the cylinder seat 511. The fixed clamping arm 53 is provided with a slot hole 532. The movable end of the fourth cylinder 51 is fixedly connected with one end of the connecting part 512, and the other end of the connecting part 512 is fixedly connected with the movable clamping arm 52 through the slot hole 532. In this way, the movable end of the fourth cylinder 51 can drive the movable clamping arm 52 to move towards or away from the fixed clamping arm 53 through the connecting part 512. The shape of the slot hole 532 matches the shape of the connecting part 512.

[0061] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the pushing mechanism comprises a second cylinder 41, a second connecting plate 411 and a push plate 42. The second connecting plate 411 is fixedly installed on the positioning module mounting seat 83. The movable end of the second cylinder 41 is fixedly connected with the second connecting plate 411. The push plate 42 is arranged on the second connecting plate 411. The push plate 42 is aligned with the clamping gap in the clamping arms of the clamping mechanism. Specifically, the push plate 42 is aligned with the positions between the fixed clamping arm 53 and the movable clamping arm 52. When the transport jig 32 moves to the position between the pushing mechanism and the clamping mechanism, the positions of the push plate 42, the loading groove 321, the fixed clamping arm 53 and the movable clamping arm 52 are located on the same straight line. The pushing mechanism drives the second cylinder 41 to push the push plate 42 into the loading groove 321 of the transport jig 32, so as to push the card holder out of the loading groove 321 of the transport jig 32 and into the clamping arms of the clamping mechanism, until the card holder abuts against the limiting mechanism.

[0062] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 . The limiting mechanism comprises a fifth cylinder 61 and a limiting block 62; the fifth cylinder 61 is fixedly installed on the cylinder seat 511, and the movable end of the fifth cylinder 61 is fixedly connected with the limiting block 62, for driving the limiting block 62 to move and controlling the position of the limiting block 62. When the pushing mechanism pushes the card holder into the clamping arm of the clamping mechanism, the limiting block 62 is located at the position of the discharge port of the clamping arm, and plays a role of limiting and positioning the card holder.

[0063] Further, the pushing mechanism further comprises a third cylinder 44 and a third connecting plate 415. The third connecting plate 415 is in sliding connection with the top surface of the second connecting plate 411, and can move back and forth on the top surface of the second connecting plate 411 along the X-axis direction. The third cylinder 44 is fixedly installed on the second connecting plate 411 and located on the side of the second connecting plate 411 away from the pushing plate 42. The movable end of the third cylinder 44 is fixedly connected with the third connecting plate 415; and the pushing plate 42 is fixedly installed on the third connecting plate 415. The third cylinder 44 drives the third connecting plate 415 to move back and forth along the second connecting plate 411, and the third connecting plate 415 drives the pushing plate 42 to move towards or away from the clamping mechanism.

[0064] When the card holder completes the assembly of the sealing ring, the movable clamping arm 52 is controlled to move in the Y-axis direction away from the fixed clamping arm 53, and the card holder is released, and at the same time, the fifth cylinder 61 controls the limiting block 62 to move in the Y-axis direction, so that the limiting block 62 moves away from the discharge port of the clamping arm. At this time, the pushing mechanism drives the third cylinder 44 to further push the pushing plate 42 forward, so as to push the card holder out of the clamping arm, so as to recycle the card holder which completes the assembly.

[0065] Further, the second cylinder 41 is fixedly arranged on the positioning module mounting seat 83, and the movable end of the second cylinder 41 is fixedly connected with a connecting piece 412, which is fixedly connected with the second connecting plate 411 through the connecting piece 412. The positioning module mounting seat 83 is further provided with a second sliding rail 413 arranged along the X-axis direction, and the second connecting plate 411 is in movable connection with the second sliding rail 413. The second connecting plate 411 is further provided with a third sliding rail 414, and the third connecting plate 415 is in movable connection with the third sliding rail 414. The pushing mechanism can not only realize two-stage pushing of the pushing plate 42 through the second cylinder 41 and the third cylinder 44, but also can effectively save space.

[0066] Further, the pushing mechanism further comprises a mounting plate and a guide frame 43; the mounting plate is arranged on the top surface of the positioning module mounting seat 83 and is located between the pushing mechanism and the clamping mechanism. The guide frame 43 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the mounting plate, and the guide frame 43 is connected to the top surface of the positioning module mounting seat 83 through the mounting plate and is located on the side of the push plate 42 facing the clamping mechanism. The guide frame 43 is provided with a guide hole 431 corresponding in shape and position to the push plate 42 for the push plate 42 to pass through. During the movement of the push plate 42 towards or away from the clamping mechanism, the push plate 42 passes through the corresponding guide hole 431, and the guide hole 431 plays a guiding role for the push plate 42, ensuring the stability of the push plate 42 during work and avoiding deviation.

[0067] Specific working principle:

[0068] Initially, the transport jig 32 of the moving mechanism is located on the side of the discharge port of the first vibration feeding mechanism 1; after the card holder is pushed into the loading groove 321, the first cylinder 31 is driven, and the transport jig 32 is moved to the position between the pushing mechanism and the clamping mechanism. The push plate 42, the guide hole 431, the loading groove 321, the gap between the movable clamping arm 52 and the fixed clamping arm 53, and the limiting block 62 are arranged on the same straight line; at this time, the second cylinder 41 drives the second connecting plate 411, and the second connecting plate 411 drives the push plate 42 to move towards the clamping mechanism. During this process, the push plate 42 is accurately inserted into the loading groove 321 under the guidance of the guide hole 431, and the card holder is pushed into the position between the movable clamping arm 52 and the fixed clamping arm 53, until the card holder abuts against the limiting block 62 of the limiting mechanism, and the two sides of the card holder in the X-axis direction are positioned by the push plate 42 and the limiting block 62. At this time, since the size of the cap of the card holder is large, it can be clamped on the top surface of the movable clamping arm 52 and the fixed clamping arm 53, keeping the card holder suspended, so that the card holder does not fall off.

[0069] The fourth cylinder 51 drives the movable clamping arm 52 to move towards the fixed clamping arm 53, so that the movable clamping arm 52 and the fixed clamping arm 53 clamp and fix the card holder, and the two sides of the card holder in the Y-axis direction are positioned by the movable clamping arm 52 and the fixed clamping arm 53. At this time, the four directions of the card holder are positioned by the fixed clamping arm 53, the movable clamping arm 52, the limiting block 62 and the push plate 42, the positioning mode is accurate and stable, and the probability of position deviation of the card holder during assembly of the sealing ring can be effectively reduced.

Among them, the first clamping hands 725 and the second clamping hands 735 are provided with clamping grooves for clamping with the sealing rings.

[0073] The mounting rack 81 is movably connected with a sliding plate 712, and the first displacement mechanism 72 and the second displacement mechanism 73 are fixedly installed on the sliding plate 712.

[0074] More specifically, the mounting rack 81 is also fixedly installed with a driving motor 71 and a fourth sliding rail 811; the driving motor 71 is connected with a lead screw 711; the sliding plate 712 is movably connected with the fourth sliding rail 811 and is threadedly connected with the lead screw 711. By controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the driving motor 71, the first displacement mechanism 72 and the second displacement mechanism 73 can be controlled to move back and forth between the positioning module and the second vibration feeding mechanism 2.

[0075] More specifically, the first displacement mechanism 72 comprises a sixth pneumatic cylinder 721, a seventh pneumatic cylinder 722 and an eighth pneumatic cylinder 723, and the second displacement mechanism 73 comprises a ninth pneumatic cylinder 731, a tenth pneumatic cylinder 732 and an eleventh pneumatic cylinder 733; corresponding to the Z axis, the Y axis and the X axis respectively. Among them, the eighth pneumatic cylinder 723 and the eleventh pneumatic cylinder 733 are respectively used to adjust the relative positions of the first clamping hands 725 and the first clamping hands 725 on the X axis, so as to align with the clamping mechanism.

[0076] The fixed end of the sixth pneumatic cylinder 721 is fixedly connected with the sliding plate 712, and the movable end is connected with the fixed end of the seventh pneumatic cylinder 722; the movable end of the seventh pneumatic cylinder 722 is connected with the fixed end of the eighth pneumatic cylinder 723; the movable end of the eighth pneumatic cylinder 723 is fixedly connected with the first clamping hand device 724.

[0077] The fixed end of the ninth cylinder 731 is fixedly connected with the sliding plate 712, and the movable end is connected with the fixed end of the tenth cylinder 732; the movable end of the tenth cylinder 732 is connected with the fixed end of the eleventh cylinder 733; and the movable end of the eleventh cylinder 733 is fixedly connected with the second clamping device 734.

[0078] More specifically, the first displacement mechanism 72 further comprises a fourth connecting plate 713, and the second displacement mechanism 73 further comprises a fifth connecting plate 714; the fourth connecting plate 713 and the fifth connecting plate 714 are fixedly connected with the movable ends of the sixth cylinder 721 and the ninth cylinder 731 respectively; and the fixed ends of the seventh cylinder 722 and the tenth cylinder 732 are fixedly installed on the fourth connecting plate 713 and the fifth connecting plate 714 respectively.

[0079] In specific operation, first, the driving motor 71 is driven to move the sliding plate 712, the first displacement mechanism 72 and the second displacement mechanism 73, together with the corresponding first clamping hand 725 and the second clamping hand 735, in the X-axis direction to the second vibration feeding mechanism 2, then the eighth cylinder 723 and the eleventh cylinder 733 are controlled to move the first clamping hand 725 and the second clamping hand 735 downward in the Z-axis direction, so as to extend into the inner ring of the sealing ring transmitted by the second vibration feeding mechanism 2, and be clamped and fixed through the corresponding clamping groove, thereby completing the picking. Then the first clamping hand 725 and the second clamping hand 735 can be controlled to move away from each other (the direction of movement is parallel to the direction of movement of the second cylinder 41) to separate the sealing ring, so that the shape of the sealing ring is adapted to the shape of the clamping holder; at the same time, the eighth cylinder 723 and the eleventh cylinder 733 are reset. At this time, the driving motor 71 is driven to move the sliding plate 712, the first displacement mechanism 72 and the second displacement mechanism 73 to the first vibration feeding mechanism 1, so as to move the sealing ring to above the clamping holder, then the sixth cylinder 721 and the ninth cylinder 731 are driven to control the first clamping hand 725 and the second clamping hand 735 to move downward, so as to sleeve the clamping holder into the clamping groove at the clamping neck of the clamping holder, then the seventh cylinder 722 and the tenth cylinder 732 are driven to move the first clamping hand 725 and the second clamping hand 735 in the X-axis direction to the center of the clamping holder, at this time, the sealing ring originally clamped in the clamping groove of the first clamping hand 725 and the second clamping hand 735 is separated from the clamping groove under the action of its own deformation elastic force, and is clamped on the clamping neck of the clamping holder. At this time, the eighth cylinder 723 and the eleventh cylinder 733 are reset again to move the first clamping hand 725 and the second clamping hand 735 upward to leave the sealing ring, thereby completing the assembly.

[0080] Compared with the prior art, the embodiment adopts the transfer mechanism and the pushing mechanism to transport the clamping holder of the first vibration feeding mechanism 1 to the clamping mechanism, so that the clamping holder is away from the discharge port of the first vibration feeding mechanism 1, thereby avoiding the interference of the first vibration feeding mechanism 1 on the process of sleeving the sealing ring on the clamping holder, and the assembly mechanism can obtain a larger operation space, which is conducive to improving the efficiency and precision of the sealing ring assembly.

[0081] In addition, the push mechanism, the clamping mechanism and the limiting mechanism are adopted to limit the card holder, on the one hand, the limiting effect is good, and the position deviation of the card holder in the process of assembling the sealing ring is avoided, the assembly quality and efficiency of the sealing ring are affected, on the other hand, the position of the card holder does not need to be positioned by the additional positioning mechanism, which is beneficial to reduce the number of parts, simplify the overall structure and reduce the overall volume.

[0082] In the embodiment, the number of the first vibration feeding mechanisms 1 is two, and the number of the clamping mechanisms is two; the number of the transfer mechanisms is two.

[0083] The two first vibration feeding mechanisms 1 are symmetrically and intervally arranged in the Y-axis direction; the two first vibration feeding mechanisms 1, the two clamping mechanisms and the two second vibration feeding mechanisms 2 are sequentially arranged in the X-axis direction; the two clamping mechanisms are arranged side by side in the Y-axis direction and abut each other; and the two clamping mechanisms are located between the extension lines of the card holder transmission tracks of the two first vibration feeding mechanisms 1. The push mechanism is located between the two first vibration feeding mechanisms and is arranged opposite and intervally to the two clamping mechanisms.

[0084] The two transfer mechanisms correspond to the two first vibration feeding mechanisms, respectively. In work, the two transfer mechanisms synchronously transport the card holders at the discharge ports of the two first vibration feeding mechanisms 1 to the space between the two clamping mechanisms and the push mechanism. The number of the push plates 42 of the push mechanism is two, and the two push plates 42 correspond to the two clamping mechanisms, respectively, and push the card holders transported by the two transfer mechanisms to the two clamping mechanisms, respectively.

[0085] The second vibration feeding mechanism 2 includes two sealing ring conveying grooves 211 for conveying the sealing rings; the two sealing ring conveying grooves 211 correspond to the two clamping mechanisms, respectively. The assembly mechanism simultaneously grabs a sealing ring from the discharge ports of the two sealing ring conveying grooves 211, respectively, and then assembles the two sealing rings on the card holders clamped by the two clamping mechanisms, respectively.

[0086] Furthermore, as can be deduced, using two sets of first vibrating feeders to simultaneously supply material necessitates that the positioning module's structural range must cover the discharge ports of both sets of first vibrating feeders 1 in order to simultaneously receive the trays provided by both sets. This allows the positioning module to be aligned with the discharge ports of both sets simultaneously to acquire the trays. However, such a structure inevitably results in a large size and low compactness of the positioning module. To reduce the size of the positioning module and improve its compactness, this embodiment employs two transfer mechanisms to move the trays of the two sets of first vibrating feeders 1 towards the center, bringing the two trays closer together. Based on this, this embodiment allows for a more compact and smaller positioning module structure. While improving structural compactness and reducing size, it also enables the simultaneous reception of trays from both sets of first vibrating feeders, thus improving work efficiency.

Those skilled in the art will understand that this application is not limited to the specific embodiments described herein, and various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions can be made without departing from the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, although this application has been described in detail through the above embodiments, this application is not limited to the above embodiments, and may include many other equivalent embodiments without departing from the concept of this application, the scope of which is determined by the scope of the appended claims.
