Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of buckle ring press-fitting, and in particular to buckle ring press-fitting equipment and a buckle ring press-fitting method. Background Art

[0002] In the field of mechanical manufacturing and assembly, retaining rings, as an important fastening element, are widely used in the fixation and protection of shaft structures. Their main function is to prevent axial movement of parts on the shaft (such as bearings, gears, etc.) and ensure the stable operation of the mechanical system.

[0003] In the prior art, the installation of buckles is mainly done manually by workers. Although this installation method is highly flexible, it is too slow and not suitable for mass installation of buckles. In order to improve efficiency, the installation of buckles can be assisted by pneumatic tools or hydraulic tools to reduce the difficulty of installation and improve installation efficiency.

[0004] However, the use of tools still requires a lot of human participation, such as parameter adjustment, and the degree of automation is low. In the batch installation of buckles, the labor intensity of the staff is high, the pressing difficulty is high, and the efficiency is low, which affects the production capacity of the entire production line. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide buckle ring pressing equipment and buckle ring pressing method, which solves the problem that the buckle ring structure in the prior art has a low degree of automation during installation, and in the batch buckle ring installation, the labor intensity of the staff is high, the pressing difficulty is high, and the efficiency is low, resulting in poor production capacity of the overall production line.

The opposite sides of the two clamping blocks are provided with clamping grooves for plugging into the buckle, the side walls of the clamping grooves abut against the buckle, and the upper side of the clamping space is for the driving end of the press-fit driving member to extend into to press against the buckle.

[0020] Optionally, the clamping assembly further comprises:

[0021] The mounting seat is arranged on the press-fitting frame, the clamping block is slidably connected in the mounting seat, and the opposite sides of the two clamping blocks are provided with elastic limiting members, which have the tendency to push the two clamping blocks closer to each other.

[0022] Optionally, the feeding assembly comprises:

[0025] The second driving member is connected to the first driving member to drive the first driving member to move along the second direction after the material leaves the workstation, so that the material moves to the adjacent workstation.

[0026] Optionally, the buckle ring press-fitting device further comprises:

[0027] A positioning frame, arranged on the loading frame and located on a side of the feeding frame away from the pressing mechanism;

[0028] The positioning part is movably connected to the positioning frame and can abut against the material in the work station.

At this time, the feeding rack and the feeding assembly cooperate to send multiple materials to the workstation in sequence. When the material enters the workstation, the press-fitting mechanism can press the buckle on the material, and the press-fitting mechanism automatically resets and continues to clamp the next buckle, while the feeding assembly sends the material away and sends the new material to the workstation, and then repeats the above actions to achieve full-automatic press-fitting of multiple buckles. In this way, during the application of the buckle press-fitting equipment, the press-fitting mechanism can automatically clamp the buckle and drive it to move to the workstation to press-fit the material, and the material can be automatically replaced by the feeding assembly, so that the entire press-fitting process can be fully automated, with less manual participation.

[0067] The embodiments of the present invention disclose buckle ring press-fitting equipment and buckle ring press-fitting method.

[0068] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The buckle pressing device comprises a loading rack 1, a material bearing rod 2, a pressing mechanism 3, a feeding rack 4 and a feeding assembly 5. The material bearing rod 2 is arranged on the loading rack 1 for receiving the buckle 6; the pressing mechanism 3 is arranged on the loading rack 1 and corresponds to the material bearing rod 2, and the pressing mechanism 3 is used to clamp the buckle 6 received by the material bearing rod 2; the feeding rack 4 is arranged on the loading rack 1 and has a station 42 for receiving the material 10, and the pressing mechanism 3 can press the buckle 6 on the material 10 in the station 42; the feeding assembly 5 is arranged on the loading rack 1 and is used to support a plurality of materials 10 and can drive the materials 10 to pass through the station 42 in sequence.

[0069] Specifically, the loading rack 1 includes a bottom plate 11 and a loading frame 12 disposed on the bottom plate 11, and a loading rod 2 is fixed in the loading frame 12. The loading rod 2 is in the shape of a long strip, and its shape can be adapted to the shape of the buckle 6. In this embodiment, the buckle 6 is in the shape of a ring, and two protrusions are spaced apart inside the buckle 6. Accordingly, an adapted groove is provided on the loading rod 2 so that the buckle 6 forms a plug-in fit, ensuring that the buckle 6 can slide stably on the loading rod 2, so that a plurality of buckles 6 can be arranged in sequence and in an orderly manner on the loading rod 2. The loading rod 2 is detachably connected to the loading frame 12, so that the corresponding loading rod 2 can be replaced for different types of buckles 6.

[0070] The feed rack 4 includes two feed plates 41 arranged opposite to each other, and fixed seats 43 are arranged on the opposite sides of the two feed plates 41, and the fixed seats 43 are fixedly connected to the bottom plate 11 by bolts. A V-shaped groove is provided on the feed plate 41, and two opposite V-shaped grooves form a station 42. The material 10 is a rotor with a rotating shaft, and the rotating shafts on both sides of the rotor can be clamped in the two V-shaped grooves of the station 42. Multiple stations 42 can be distributed at equal intervals along the length direction of the feed plate 41, so that multiple materials 10 can be stored on the feed rack 4 at one time. One of the stations 42 corresponds to the pressing mechanism 3, and the pressing mechanism 3 can press the buckle 6 on the material 10 on the station 42. In other embodiments, the pressing mechanism 3 and the material bearing rod 2 can also be arranged in multiple intervals to press the buckle 6 on the materials 10 on multiple stations 42 at the same time, which can be specifically set according to the actual production line.

[0071] After the buckle 6 is pressed on the product, the feeding assembly 5 drives the buckle 6 to move to the next station 42. In the present embodiment, there is only one station 42 for pressing the buckle 6. The feeding assembly 5 can move the material 10 that has been pressed on the station 42 to the next station 42, and at the same time, the material 10 that has not been pressed on the buckle 6 in other stations 42 is sequentially sent to the station 42 for pressing.

[0072] The press-fitting mechanism 3 is arranged on the loading frame 12, and the press-fitting mechanism 3 is located above the material bearing rod 2. The press-fitting mechanism 3 can clamp the clamping structure of the buckle 6 on the material bearing rod 2. The material bearing rod 2 is no longer provided with a groove adapted to the buckle 6 at the position corresponding to the clamping structure, so as to ensure that the buckle 6 can be smoothly clamped by the clamping structure and disengaged from the material bearing rod 2. The press-fitting mechanism 3 can move to the top of the station 42 after clamping the buckle 6, and press the buckle 6 downward to complete the press-fitting, and the press-fitting mechanism 3 is reset and the above process is repeated.

[0073] By setting up the material-carrying rod 2, multiple buckle rings 6 can be sleeved on the material-carrying rod 2 in advance, and the pressing mechanism 3 can clamp the buckle ring 6 and drive the buckle ring 6 to the top of the work station 42. At this time, the feeding rack 4 and the feeding assembly 5 cooperate to deliver multiple materials 10 to the work station 42 in sequence. When the material 10 enters the work station 42, the pressing mechanism 3 can press the buckle 6 on the material 10, and the pressing mechanism 3 automatically resets and continues to clamp the next buckle ring 6, while the feeding assembly 5 sends the material 10 away and sends the new material 10 to the work station 42, and then repeats the above actions to realize the fully automatic pressing of multiple buckle rings 6. In the application of the buckle pressing equipment, the pressing mechanism 3 can automatically clamp the buckle 6 and drive it to move to the work station 42 to press the material 10, and the material 10 can be automatically replaced by the feeding component 5, so that the entire pressing process can be completed fully automatically with less manual participation. In the batch pressing operation of the buckle 6, the pressing difficulty is low and the efficiency is high, thereby improving the production capacity of the entire production line.

[0074] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 Optionally, the press-fitting mechanism 3 includes a press-fitting frame 31, a clamping assembly 32, a push-drive member 33, and a press-fitting drive member 34. The press-fitting frame 31 is slidably connected to the loading frame 1; the clamping assembly 32 is disposed on the press-fitting frame 31 and is used to clamp the buckle 6 on the material bearing rod 2; the push-drive member 33 is connected to the press-fitting frame 31 to drive the press-fitting frame 31 and the clamping assembly 32 to approach or move away from the feeding frame 4; the press-fitting drive member 34 is disposed on the press-fitting frame 31, and when the clamping assembly 32 corresponds to the material 10 on the workstation 42, the press-fitting drive member 34 pushes the buckle 6 to be pressed on the material 10.

[0075] Specifically, a slide rail is provided on the loading frame 12, and two slide rails can be provided in parallel. A slider slidably connected to the slide rail is fixedly connected to the bottom side of the press frame 31. The clamping assembly 32 can be fixed on the press frame 31, and the material bearing rod 2 can be raised and lowered relative to the clamping assembly 32. The lifting can be driven by a cylinder to push the material bearing rod 2 to drive the buckle 6 to approach the clamping assembly 32. The clamping assembly 32 can clamp and fix the buckle 6 when the buckle 6 approaches. It should be understood that the clamping assembly 32 and the press frame 31 can also be set as a structure that can be raised and lowered, and the material bearing rod 2 is fixed in place, so that the buckle 6 can also be clamped.

[0076] The push drive 33 may be a cylinder, the cylinder body of the cylinder is fixed to the loading frame 12, the piston rod of the cylinder is fixedly connected to the press frame 31, and the piston rod of the cylinder can be extended in the direction close to or away from the feeding frame 4. The press drive 34 is fixed on the press frame 31, and the press drive 34 may also be a cylinder, the cylinder body of the cylinder is fixedly connected to the press frame 31, and the piston rod of the cylinder can extend downward in the vertical direction, and the end wall of the piston rod may be provided with a pressing head 341 to press against the buckle 6 and push the buckle 6 to be pressed on the material 10. It should be understood that the push drive 33 and the press drive 34 may also use a motor as a driving structure, and cooperate with corresponding transmission structures such as screws to drive the corresponding structures to move. The specific types of the push drive 33 and the press drive 34 may be designed according to actual driving requirements, and the present invention does not limit this.

[0077] When the clamping assembly 32 clamps the buckle 6, the pushing drive 33 can push the press-fitting frame 31 and the clamping assembly 32 to move toward the workstation 42. When the clamping assembly 32 drives the buckle 6 to correspond to the material 10, the press-fitting drive 34 runs to push out the buckle 6 of the clamping assembly 32 and press the buckle 6 onto the material 10. The press-fitting drive 34 and the pushing drive 33 are reset, so that the clamping assembly 32 is reset and the above process is repeated, so that multiple buckles 6 can be pressed onto the corresponding materials 10 in turn.

[0078] Optionally, the clamping assembly 32 includes two clamping blocks 321 arranged opposite to each other. A clamping space for accommodating the buckle 6 is formed between the two clamping blocks 321, and clamping grooves 322 for plugging and mating with the buckle 6 are provided on opposite sides of the two clamping blocks 321, and the groove side walls of the clamping grooves 322 abut against the buckle 6, and the upper side of the clamping space is for the driving end of the press-fit driving member 34 to extend into to press against the buckle 6.

[0079] Specifically, the two clamping blocks 321 can be in the shape of long strips, and the front ends thereof form the clamping space mentioned above. In one embodiment, the clamping blocks 321 can be made of elastic material, and in the initial state, the distance between the two clamping grooves 322 is smaller than the maximum outer dimension of the buckle 6, so that the buckle 6 can push the two clamping blocks 321 to produce a certain deformation when clamped in the clamping grooves 322, thereby clamping the snap ring in the clamping space.

[0080] In another embodiment, the two clamping blocks 321 can approach or move away from each other, and an elastic structure such as a spring can be set in the direction in which the two clamping blocks 321 approach or move away from each other. For example, a spring is set in the middle of the two clamping blocks 321, or springs are set on the opposite sides of the two clamping blocks 321. The spring can deform in the direction in which the two clamping blocks 321 approach each other, and in the initial state, the spring has a tendency to drive the two clamping blocks 321 to approach each other, so that when the buckle 6 is clamped in the clamping groove 322, the two clamping blocks 321 can press against the buckle 6.

[0081] When clamping the buckle ring 6, it is only necessary to insert the buckle ring 6 into the two clamping grooves 322. The side walls of the clamping grooves 322 can abut against the side surfaces of the buckle ring 6 to limit the movement range of the buckle ring 6 in the horizontal plane. At the same time, an extrusion force can be formed between the buckle ring 6 to ensure that the buckle ring 6 will not fall off from the clamping grooves 322, so as to successfully complete the clamping of the buckle ring 6 by the clamping assembly 32.

[0082] Optionally, the clamping assembly 32 further includes a mounting seat 323. The mounting seat 323 is disposed on the press-fitting frame 31, the clamping block 321 is slidably connected in the mounting seat 323, and the opposite sides of the two clamping blocks 321 are both provided with elastic limiters 324, which have a tendency to push the two clamping blocks 321 closer to each other.

[0083] Specifically, the mounting seat 323 is block-shaped and can be fixed to the side of the press-fitting frame 31 close to the material-bearing rod 2 by screws. A notch is opened on the lower side of the mounting seat 323, and the clamping block 321 is arranged in the notch, and the front end of the clamping block 321 extends out of the notch and corresponds to the output end of the press-fitting drive 34.

[0084] A connecting block 325 is provided on both opposite sides of the clamping block 321, and a plurality of elastic stoppers 324 are provided at intervals on a side of the connecting block 325 away from the clamping block 321. The elastic stoppers 324 are structures such as springs or elastic rods. The other end of the elastic stoppers 324 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the mounting seat 323. A space for the clamping block 321 and the connecting block 325 to slide is provided inside the mounting seat 323, so that the two clamping blocks 321 can be close to or away from each other.

[0085] By setting the mounting seat 323, not only can sufficient installation space be provided for the clamping block 321 and the elastic stopper 324, but also the sliding direction of the two clamping blocks 321 can be limited, ensuring that the two clamping blocks 321 can only slide in the direction of keeping close or far away. The elastic stopper 324 can produce corresponding deformation when the clamping block 321 moves, and act on the clamping block 321 through the connecting block 325. In the natural state of the elastic stopper 324, the distance between the two clamping blocks 321 is smaller than the maximum size of the buckle 6. When the buckle 6 is inserted between the two clamping blocks 321, it can smoothly push the two clamping blocks 321 away and squeeze the elastic stopper 324. The elastic stopper 324 thus pushes the two clamping blocks 321 to press against the buckle 6 to complete the clamping of the buckle 6.

[0086] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 Optionally, the feeding assembly 5 includes a material moving plate 51, a first driving member 52 and a second driving member 53. The material moving plate 51 has a plurality of supporting blocks 54 for supporting the material 10; the first driving member 52 is connected to the material moving plate 51 to drive the material moving plate 51 and the supporting blocks 54 to move along the first direction X so that the material 10 enters the workstation 42 or leaves the workstation 42; the second driving member 53 is connected to the first driving member 52 to drive the first driving member 52 to move along the second direction Y after the material 10 leaves the workstation 42 so that the material 10 moves to the adjacent workstation 42.

[0087] Specifically, the material transfer plate 51 is in the shape of an elongated strip, and a plurality of support blocks 54 can be fixed at intervals along its length direction. The distance between two adjacent support blocks 54 can be equal to the distance between two adjacent workstations 42. A groove is provided on the top wall of the support block 54 to accommodate the material 10. A detection sensor 541 is provided on the side wall of the support block 54 to detect whether the material 10 is placed on the support block 54. The support block 54 can be fixed to the material transfer plate 51 in a detachable manner such as bolt connection or clamping, so as to select an appropriate support block 54 for products of different shapes. The support block 54 can also be integrated with the material transfer plate 51, or fixed together in a non-detachable manner such as welding or bonding, so as to ensure a good overall connection strength.

[0088] The output end of the first driving member 52 is connected to the material moving plate 51, and the first orientation can be a vertical direction. The first driving member 52 drives the material moving plate 51 to move in the vertical direction, so that the material moving plate 51 and the supporting block 54 can push the material 10 to move upward and leave the workstation 42, or make the material 10 and the supporting block 54 move downward and enter the workstation 42. The first driving member 52 is fixed on the first strip plate 55, and the first strip plate 55 is arranged parallel to the material moving plate 51, and the length direction of the two is similar. The first driving member 52 is located in the middle of the length direction of the first strip plate 55, so that the driving force generated by the first driving member 52 can act on the middle of the material moving plate 51.

[0089] The second driving member 53 can be fixed on the bottom plate 11 through the second strip plate 56, and the output end of the second driving member 53 is fixedly connected to the first strip plate 55, and the first strip plate 55 and the second strip plate 56 can be slidably matched through the slide rail and the slider. The second direction Y can be the length direction of the first strip plate 55. The second driving member 53 can drive the first strip plate 55 to move along the second direction Y, thereby driving the first driving member 52 and the material moving plate 51 to translate synchronously.

[0090] It should be understood that the first driving member 52 and the second driving member 53 in the present embodiment both adopt cylinders to reduce the manufacturing difficulty and cost of the retaining ring pressing equipment, while in other embodiments, the first driving member 52 and the second driving member 53 can be realized by a motor in combination with a transmission structure such as a lead screw to improve the overall driving accuracy of the retaining ring pressing equipment. The specific design can be based on actual control requirements, and the present invention is not limited to this.

[0091] When the material 10 is loaded, the first driving member 52 is first used to push the material transfer plate 51 and the supporting block 54 upward, and multiple materials 10 are placed on the multiple supporting blocks 54 in sequence. Then, the first driving member 52 is reset and drives the material transfer plate 51 and the supporting block 54 to reset. At this time, the material 10 will enter the work station 42. When the entered work station 42 corresponds to the pressing mechanism 3, the pressing mechanism 3 will act to press the buckle 6 onto the material 10. The first driving member 52 then lifts the material transfer plate 51 and the supporting block 54 to make The pressed material 10 leaves the workstation 42, and the second driving member 53 is running. The first driving member 52, the material transfer plate 51, the supporting block 54 and the material 10 move to the next workstation 42 at the same time, and the new material 10 will be synchronously moved to the workstation 42 corresponding to the pressing mechanism 3, and the first driving member 52 is reset again, so that the new material 10 is placed at the workstation 42, and the pressed material 10 automatically goes to the next workstation 42, and is grabbed by the robot of the next process to continue the subsequent processing.

[0092] Reference Figure 8 Optionally, the buckle press-fitting device further comprises a positioning frame 7 and a positioning portion 8. The positioning frame 7 is arranged on the loading frame 1 and is located on a side of the feeding frame 4 away from the press-fitting mechanism 3; the positioning portion 8 is movably connected to the positioning frame 7 and can abut against the material 10 in the station 42.

[0093] Specifically, the positioning frame 7 includes a positioning plate 71 and two mounting plates 72 arranged opposite to each other. The positioning plate 71 is fixed to the bottom plate 11 by bolts, and a waist-shaped hole for the bolts to pass through is provided on the positioning plate 71, so as to adjust the position of the positioning plate 71 on the bottom wall, thereby changing the spacing of the positioning frame 7 relative to the workstation 42, so as to adapt to materials 10 of different sizes. It should be understood that the position adjustment method of the positioning frame 7 can also be implemented by other structures, such as plug-in fixing with a pin, etc., and the present invention is not limited to this.

[0094] The mounting plate 72 can be fixed on the positioning plate 71 through the angle plate 73. The positioning portion 8 is provided through the mounting plate 72. The end of the positioning portion 8 close to the station 42 can be pressed against the end of the material 10 away from the pressing mechanism 3, thereby fixing the material 10. In order to further improve the convenience of positioning, the positioning portion 8 is slidably connected to the mounting plate 72, and a positioning cylinder 9 is provided on the other mounting plate 72. The piston rod of the positioning cylinder 9 can be connected to the positioning portion 8 to push the positioning portion 8 close to or away from the station 42.

[0095] When the material 10 enters the workstation 42 corresponding to the pressing mechanism 3, the positioning cylinder 9 can push the positioning portion 8 to extend, so that the end face of the positioning portion 8 is pressed against the side face of the material 10, thereby fixing the material 10 in the workstation 42. In order to improve the fixing effect, a socket for inserting the rotating shaft of the material 10 is opened on the end face of the positioning portion 8, so as to improve the connection strength between the positioning portion 8 and the material 10, thereby improving the positioning effect.

[0096] Reference Figure 4 Optionally, the buckle ring pressing device further includes a lifting driving member 13. The lifting driving member 13 is disposed on the loading frame 1 and connected to the material bearing rod 2 to drive the material bearing rod 2 to approach the pressing mechanism 3, so that the buckle 6 on the material bearing rod 2 is clamped in the pressing mechanism 3.

[0097] Specifically, the lifting drive member 13 is located at one end of the material receiving rod 2 close to the feeding assembly 5, and its output end is penetrated through the loading frame 12 and is provided with a connector, and the material receiving rod 2 and the connector are fixed together by bolts, welding, bonding, or clamping. Because the size of the buckle 6 is fixed, the amplitude of the material receiving rod 2 to be raised during the process of the buckle 6 being clamped in the press-fitting mechanism 3 is fixed, so the lifting drive member 13 can be a cylinder, and the piston rod of the cylinder can extend toward the direction close to the press-fitting mechanism 3, thereby pushing the material receiving rod 2 close to the press-fitting mechanism 3. It should be understood that the lifting drive member 13 can also realize the lifting and lowering of the material receiving rod 2 by using a motor and cooperating with a screw and other structures, and can be specifically designed according to the actual manufacturing cost and control accuracy, and the present invention does not limit this.

[0098] When the buckle 6 is clamped, the lifting drive 13 is started to lift the material support rod 2 and drive the buckle 6 close to the pressing mechanism 3, so that the buckle 6 located at the front end of the material support rod 2 can be inserted into the pressing mechanism 3, so that the buckle 6 is clamped.

[0099] Optionally, the buckle ring pressing device further comprises a pusher 14. The pusher 14 is disposed on the loading rack 1 and is correspondingly disposed with the support rod 2, and the pusher 14 is used to push the buckle 6 on the support rod 2 to approach the pressing mechanism 3.

[0100] Specifically, the material-bearing rod 2 is in the shape of an elongated strip, and a vibration plate 141 is fixedly provided on the lower side wall of the material-bearing rod 2. The two can form an integrated structure. The bottom wall of the vibration plate 141 is fixedly connected to the top wall of the pushing piece 14. The pushing piece 14 is a straight vibrator, which can generate vibration to drive the buckle 6 to move forward along the material-bearing rod 2, so that after the frontmost buckle 6 on the material-bearing rod 2 is clamped, the remaining buckle rings 6 can automatically move forward to fill the position, thereby further improving the overall degree of automation.

[0101] Optionally, the buckle ring pressing device further comprises a feeding member 15. The feeding member 15 has a storage space for storing the buckle ring 6 and a feeding channel communicating with the storage space, and the feeding channel corresponds to the receiving rod 2 so that the buckle ring 6 in the storage space is plugged into the receiving rod 2 in sequence.

[0102] Specifically, the feeding piece 15 adopts a vibrating plate, which can send the buckle 6 in the storage space into the feeding channel, so that the buckle 6 can be automatically inserted into the material receiving rod 2 along the feeding channel, and the feeding piece 15 can also ensure that the buckle 6 is inserted into the material receiving rod 2 in a stretched posture. The staff only needs to add a corresponding number of buckle rings 6 into the feeding piece 15, and the buckle 6 can automatically complete the feeding, thereby further improving the degree of automation of the entire buckle 6 pressing process.

[0103] The buckle ring press-fitting method is applied to the buckle ring press-fitting device in the above-mentioned embodiment, and comprises:

[0104] Step S1: Arrange a plurality of buckles 6 in sequence, and receive the material 10 to be press-fitted with the buckles 6 in the work station 42 .

[0105] Multiple buckles 6 can be automatically fed through the vibrating plate of the loading piece, and the multiple buckles 6 can be sent to the designated positions in turn, and the material 10 can be placed in the corresponding workstation 42. The material 10 can be placed in multiple workstations 42 at one time, so that the subsequent buckle 6 pressing can be carried out continuously.

[0106] Step S2: Clamp one of the buckle rings 6 and move it to the top of the workstation 42, and press the buckle ring 6 down to a designated position of the material 10 to complete the press-fitting.

[0107] After the material 10 enters the corresponding workstation 42, it can push the buckle 6 close to the pressing mechanism 3, so that the buckle 6 and the pressing mechanism 3 form a clamp. The pressing mechanism 3 can drive the buckle 6 to move above the workstation 42 and press the buckle 6 down to the material 10 to complete the pressing.

[0108] Step S3: after the pressing is completed, the plurality of materials 10 are synchronously moved to move the pressed materials 10 away from the workstation 42 and move new materials 10 to the workstation 42 .

[0109] After the buckle 6 is pressed onto the material 10, multiple materials 10 are synchronously moved to a workstation 42, and the material 10 that has completed pressing will move to the next workstation 42, while the material 10 that has not completed pressing will enter the workstation 42, and the above steps S1 to S3 are repeated, so that the pressing process can be carried out continuously and automatically.

[0110] Through the above-mentioned steps S1 to S3, the pressing process of the buckle 6, from loading, pressing and feeding, can be completed automatically, and after the material 10 is pressed, the new material 10 can be quickly delivered to the designated workstation 42, so that the pressing process can be completed continuously, thereby effectively improving the degree of automation of the entire pressing process, reducing the degree of participation of the staff, reducing the labor intensity of the staff, reducing the difficulty of pressing, and improving the pressing efficiency, which is beneficial to improving the production capacity of the overall production line.
