An automatic assembly and packaging machine for pens according to claim 5, characterized in that: The transport module includes a first transport robot (41), a second transport robot (42), and a gantry transport structure (43). The handling robot (41) clamps the pen caps, pen bodies and pen sleeves that are stopped on the conveying channel A (11) and puts them onto the corresponding fixtures to realize the loading. It is also equipped with multiple grippers. The second handling robot (42) clamps and transports the box body to the conveyor channel B (31), clamps the finished pen held by the pen sleeve clamp (24) into the box body that has stopped transporting, and transports and covers the box lid onto the box body; The gantry conveying structure (43) transports the pallet on the storage shelf (6) to the upstream of the conveying channel A (11). It includes a gantry body (431) and a mechanical claw (432) provided on the gantry body (431). The mechanical claw (432) can slide laterally or rise and fall longitudinally along the storage shelf (6).
7. An automatic assembly and packaging machine for pens according to claim 1, 2, or 3, characterized in that: It also includes a correction block (26), which matches the interface on the end of the pen body. The correction surfaces (26a) on both sides of the bottom insertion position of the correction block (26) are inclined. Before the pen cap and pen body are pre-inserted, the correction block (26) can be inserted downward into the interface on the end of the pen body to correct the position of the pen body held on the pen body clamp.
8. An automatic assembly and packaging machine for pens according to claim 7, characterized in that: The pressing block (25) can be driven up and down by a lifting machine. The bottom end face of the pressing block (25) is the pressing surface (25a) that presses against the pen cap. The correction block (26) is telescopically mounted on the pressing block (25) and can extend downwards out of the pressing surface (25a) or retract upwards.
9. An automatic assembly and packaging machine for pens according to claim 7, characterized in that: The pen cap clamp (22) and the pen sleeve clamp (24) are also staggered vertically. The pen body clamp (23) can reciprocate and has the following positions: a first position corresponding to the position directly below the correction block (26), a second position corresponding to the position directly below the pen cap clamp (22), and a third position that is in the same vertical direction as the clamping block (25) and the pen sleeve clamp (24). When the pen body clamp (23) is in the first position, the correction block (26) can be inserted downward into the interface on the end of the pen body held by the lower pen body clamp (23) to perform pen body correction; When the pen body clamp (23) is in the second position, the pen cap clamp (22) drives the pen cap downward and allows the USB plug on it to be pre-inserted into the interface on the end of the pen body held by the pen body clamp (23), thus performing the pre-insertion operation of the pen cap and the pen body. When the pen body clamp (23) is in the third position, the pressing block (25) presses down on the pen cap so that the pen cap and pen sleeve are pressed tightly on both ends of the pen body, thereby realizing the assembly of the pen cap, pen body and pen sleeve.
