[0017] In this embodiment, the multi-station turntable 2 can drive the mold to move between different stations, so as to realize the assembly and implantation of different accessories, and for different assembly and implantation requirements of different molds, it is only necessary to adjust the steering and rotation angle of the multi-station turntable 2. Specifically, the multi-station turntable 2 includes at least a first station 21, a second station 22, a third station 23 and a fourth station 24, wherein the first station 21 is mainly used for loading and unloading the mold body to be assembled, the second station 22 is used to implant iron ring accessories, the third station 23 is used to implant copper nuts and PIN needles, and the fourth station 24 is used to implant copper bar accessories; correspondingly, the first implantation device 7 is arranged above the second station 22, the second implantation device 8 is arranged above the third station 23, and the third implantation device 9 is arranged above the fourth station 24.

[0018] Specifically, the iron ring feeding device 3, the copper nut feeding device 4 and the PIN needle feeding device 5 all adopt a vibration plate feeding device.

[0019] Among them, the iron ring feeding device 3 includes an iron ring vibrating plate 31 and an iron ring vibrating conveying rail 32 connected to the outlet of the iron ring vibrating plate 31, an iron ring limiting cover plate 33 is arranged on the upper end of the iron ring vibrating conveying rail 32, and a limited height block 34 is arranged inside the iron ring vibrating conveying rail 32. The iron ring vibration disk 31 conveys the iron ring by vibration, and conveys it to the first implantation device 7 through the iron ring vibration conveying rail 32, wherein the height limit block 34 arranged in the iron ring vibration conveying rail 32 can limit the overlapping iron rings in the iron ring vibration conveying rail 32, and when the overlapping iron rings pass through the height limit block, the iron rings stacked on top will be blocked, and only one iron ring can pass under the height limit block 34, thereby avoiding the problem of overlapping iron rings causing failure to absorb and implant normally; the first implantation device 7 absorbs the iron ring and places it at the corresponding position on the mold to be assembled, wherein the first implantation device 7 includes an iron ring absorption and implantation mechanism 71 and a three-axis driving mechanism 72 for driving and moving the iron ring absorption and implantation mechanism 71, the three-axis driving mechanism 72 can drive and move the iron ring absorption and implantation mechanism in the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis directions, so as to absorb the iron ring and place it at the corresponding position of the mold, and the iron ring absorption and implantation mechanism 71 adopts a suction nozzle mechanism for absorbing and placing the iron ring. The X, Y, and Z axes described in this application are a commonly used coordinate system, wherein the X-axis and the Y-axis are located in a horizontal plane, and the Z-axis is perpendicular to the horizontal plane.

The copper nut vibration disk 41 conveys the copper nuts by vibration, and conveys them to the second implantation device 8 through the copper nut vibration conveying rail 42. However, since the PIN needles are long and thin and need to be vertically implanted in the mold, the structure of the PIN needle feeding device 5 is different from that of the iron ring feeding device 3 and the copper nut feeding device 4. The difference is that in addition to the PIN needle vibration disk 51 and the PIN needle vibration conveying rail 52 connected to the outlet of the PIN needle vibration disk 51, the PIN needle positioning and ejecting mechanism 53 is also provided at the end of the PIN needle vibration conveying rail 52. Among them, the outlet of the PIN needle vibration disk 51 and the PIN needle vibration conveying track 52 are also correspondingly slender, and the end of the PIN needle with a thicker diameter is hung in the PIN needle vibration conveying track 52. Since the end of the PIN needle with a thicker diameter is shorter, it is difficult to accurately clamp it. Therefore, a PIN needle positioning and ejecting mechanism 53 is used to position and lift the PIN needle; wherein the PIN needle positioning and ejecting mechanism 53 includes a horizontal driving mechanism 531, a vertical driving mechanism 532, a positioning slider 533 and an ejecting ejector 534. The horizontal driving mechanism 531 is connected to the positioning slider 533 together with the vertical driving mechanism 532 and the ejecting ejector 534. The vertical driving mechanism 532 is connected to the ejecting ejector 534. The positioning slider 533 is provided with a PIN needle positioning groove 535 connected to the PIN needle vibration Corresponding to the exit end of the conveying track 52, optical fiber detection sensors 536 are arranged on both sides of the positioning slider 533; the horizontal driving mechanism 531 is used to drive the positioning slider 533 to move so that the PIN needle positioning groove 535 of the positioning slider 533 is aligned with the exit end of the PIN needle vibration conveying track 52, at this time, the PIN needle falls into the PIN needle positioning groove 535 from the PIN needle vibration conveying track 52, and the light detection sensors 536 arranged on both sides of the positioning slider 533 are aligned with the PIN needle positioning groove 535. When the PIN needle falls into the PIN needle positioning groove 535, it is detected and moved to the top of the PIN needle positioning groove 535 by the second implanting device 8, and the vertical driving mechanism 532 drives the ejecting pin 534 to move upward to lift the PIN needle upward, so that it can be accurately clamped by the second implanting device 85.Among them, the second implant device 8 includes a PIN needle clamping implantation mechanism 81, a copper nut suction implantation mechanism 82 and a first four-axis robotic arm 83, and the ends of the first four-axis robotic arm 83 are fixedly connected to the PIN needle clamping implantation mechanism 81 and the copper nut suction implantation mechanism 82 at the same time; the driving mechanism of the second implant device 8 adopts a four-axis robotic arm, which can provide not only three-axis driving in the plane and vertical directions, but also rotation around the Z axis, which can flexibly convert the PIN needle clamping implantation mechanism 81 and the copper nut suction implantation mechanism 82, wherein the PIN needle clamping implantation mechanism 81 adopts a clamping finger, and the copper nut suction implantation mechanism 82 adopts a suction nozzle mechanism.

[0021] Specifically, the third implanting device 9 includes a copper bar suction implanting mechanism 91 and a second four-axis mechanical arm 92, the second four-axis mechanical arm 92 is connected to the copper bar suction implanting mechanism 91 by driving, the copper bar suction implanting mechanism 91 sucks the copper bar from the copper bar feeding device 6 and places it on the mold, the driving mechanism of the third implanting device 92 also adopts a four-axis mechanical arm, in addition to providing conventional three-axis drive for the copper bar suction implanting mechanism 91, it can also provide rotation around the Z axis, so as to achieve accurate placement and implantation of the copper bar. Among them, the copper bar feeding device 6 can adopt a structure of a multi-layer placement rack and a pushing mechanism, the multi-layer placement rack is driven and connected by a vertical driving mechanism, the pushing mechanism can push out the copper bar on the multi-layer placement rack that is on the same horizontal plane as the pushing mechanism, and it is sucked by the third implanting device, and the vertical driving mechanism can drive the multi-layer placement rack to align the copper bar on the multi-layer placement rack with the pushing mechanism layer by layer, so as to achieve the feeding of the copper bar.

[0022] In addition, an illumination and photographing device 11 is also provided above the first station 21 of the multi-station turntable 2. The illumination and photographing device 11 is used to illuminate and photograph the mold on the first station 21 and identify the points on the mold that need to be implanted. By providing the illumination and photographing device 11, the mold on the first station 21 of the multi-station turntable 2 can be illuminated and photographed, and whether the placement position of the mold is correct can be identified. At the same time, the points where the accessories are implanted on the mold can be detected and identified, further improving the accuracy of mold molding and implantation.

[0023] Of course, the above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of use of the present invention.
