Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of fiber optic sockets, and in particular to a fully automated fiber optic socket assembly machine. Background Technology

[0002] A fiber optic connector is an electrical appliance used to connect fiber optic cables and is widely used in home and commercial grid cabling.

[0003] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The fiber optic socket includes a housing 300, an inner housing 301, a mounting cover 302, pins 303, and a circuit board 304. The inner housing 301 is installed inside the housing 300, and the pins 303 are inserted into the inner housing 301. The circuit board 304 is installed on the housing 300. The mounting cover 302 is installed on the housing 300 to prevent the circuit board 304 from detaching from the inner housing 301. The mounting cover 302 is provided with four locking blocks 305, which are divided into two groups. Each group of locking blocks 305 is located on different sides of the mounting cover 302. The housing 300 has four locking holes 306 for the locking blocks 305 to be inserted. When the locking blocks 305 are inserted into the locking holes 306, the mounting cover 302 is fixed on the housing 300.

[0004] The mounting cover is placed on the outer shell. The cylinder pushes the mounting cover to force the locking block into the locking hole. The locking block may be damaged due to forced movement, making it difficult to securely fix the fiber optic socket. This makes the fiber optic socket prone to defects and reduces the pass rate of the fiber optic socket. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the issue of easily damaged card blocks, this application provides a fully automated fiber optic socket assembly machine.

[0006] This application provides a fully automatic fiber optic socket assembly machine, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A fully automatic fiber optic socket assembly machine includes a mounting cover assembly module. The mounting cover assembly module includes a mounting cover mounting base, a mounting cover feeding structure, and a mounting cover assembly structure. The mounting cover mounting base has a mounting cover receiving groove for placing the mounting cover. The mounting cover feeding structure drives the mounting cover to move into the mounting cover receiving groove. The mounting cover assembly structure drives the mounting cover and the outer shell to assemble. The mounting cover feeding structure includes a mounting cover placement component. The mounting cover placement component includes a mounting cover placement strip and a mounting cover driving component. The mounting cover placement strip has a mounting cover placement groove for sliding the mounting cover. The distance between the bottom wall of the mounting cover placement groove and the mounting cover mounting base gradually decreases in the vertically downward direction. The mounting cover driving component drives the mounting cover to move along the mounting cover placement groove into the outer shell.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the distance between the bottom wall of the mounting cover placement slot and the mounting cover mounting base gradually decreases in the vertical downward direction. This allows the mounting cover driving component to drive the mounting cover to move within the mounting cover placement slot, enabling the mounting cover's locking block to insert into the locking hole of the outer shell. This allows one side of the mounting cover to be pre-inserted into the outer shell, making it easier to install the mounting cover onto the outer shell when the mounting cover assembly structure drives the mounting cover to move. This reduces the risk of damage to the locking block during installation, thereby reducing the likelihood of defective products in the fiber optic socket during assembly and improving the pass rate of the fiber optic socket.

[0009] Optionally, the mounting cover feeding structure further includes a mounting cover feeding assembly, which includes a mounting cover pushing component. The mounting cover pushing component includes a mounting cover pushing seat and a mounting cover pushing part. The mounting cover pushing seat has a mounting cover pushing hole that communicates with the mounting cover placement slot. The mounting cover pushing part drives the mounting cover to move sequentially into the mounting cover placement slot.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the mounting cover is pushed by the mounting cover pusher to move the mounting cover into the mounting cover placement slot in sequence, so that the mounting cover can move from the mounting cover push hole to the mounting cover placement slot one by one, and move the mounting cover push hole into the housing. This avoids the problem of multiple mounting covers overlapping and lifting up during the movement, so that the mounting cover can be assembled more stably on the housing, and the fiber optic socket is less likely to have defective products during the assembly process.

[0011] Optionally, the assembly module includes a moving module for moving materials. The mounting cover assembly module further includes a mounting cover moving structure, which includes a mounting cover moving drive assembly and a mounting cover moving block. The mounting cover moving block is disposed on the mounting cover moving drive assembly and has a mounting cover fixing hole for placing the mounting cover. The mounting cover fixing hole is located in the moving module. The mounting cover moving drive assembly is used to drive the mounting cover moving block to detach from the moving module. When the mounting cover fixing hole detaches from the moving module, the mounting cover fixing hole communicates with the mounting cover receiving groove.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the outer shell is located in the mounting cover fixing hole. The mounting cover moving block is moved by the mounting cover moving drive component, so that the outer shell moves from the moving module to the mounting cover receiving slot. This allows the individual outer shell to be assembled, enabling the outer shell to be better positioned and more stable during the assembly process. It avoids the situation where the outer shell moves in the moving module and causes misalignment between the outer shell and the mounting cover, thus enabling the outer shell and the mounting cover to be assembled more stably.

[0013] Optionally, the mounting cover placement strip is provided with two extension strips, which extend along the inclined direction of the bottom wall of the mounting cover placement groove, and the mounting cover is located between the two extension strips; when one end of the mounting cover is inserted into the outer shell, the two extension strips abut against different sides of the mounting cover.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the mounting cover is located between two extension strips, and the two extension strips abut against different sides of the mounting cover, so that the mounting cover can be stably moved into the outer shell within the mounting cover placement slot, and the locking block in the mounting cover is located within the locking hole of the outer shell.

[0015] Optionally, the bottom wall of the mounting cover placement groove is provided with a mounting cover drop hole, which allows the locking block in the mounting cover to pass through.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the mounting cover's movement distance is reduced by allowing the mounting cover's locking block to pass through the mounting cover's drop hole. This reduces the need for the mounting cover to move too far, speeding up the assembly of the mounting cover. The mounting cover's locking block then falls through the mounting cover's drop hole, thus assembling the mounting cover and the outer shell.

[0017] Optionally, it also includes a circuit board assembly module, which includes a circuit board mounting base, a circuit board assembly structure, and a circuit board moving structure. The circuit board moving structure is used to drive the circuit board to move into the circuit board mounting base. The circuit board assembly structure includes a circuit board assembly component. The circuit board mounting base has a slide rail for the circuit board. The circuit board assembly component includes a circuit board assembly part and a circuit board assembly plate. The circuit board assembly part drives the circuit board assembly plate to slide within the circuit board slide rail.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the outer casing is moved to the circuit board mounting base through the circuit board moving structure. Then, the circuit board assembly unit drives the circuit board assembly board to move, so that the circuit board assembly board abuts against the circuit board, realizing the assembly of the circuit board and the outer casing. This allows the circuit board to be assembled independently, making the assembly process of the circuit board and the outer casing more stable and avoiding the problem of the circuit board being difficult to position with the outer casing when the outer casing moves.

[0019] Optionally, a detection module is also included. The detection module includes a detection structure, a detection moving structure, and a detachment structure. The detection structure is used to detect the fiber optic socket. The detection moving structure is used to drive the socket to be placed on the detachment structure. The detachment structure is used to drive the defective product to detach. The detachment structure includes a detachment component and a detachment plate. The detachment plate is disposed on the detachment component and is located on the placement path of the detection moving structure. When the socket is a good product, the detachment plate abuts against the socket. When the socket is a defective product, the detachment component drives the detachment plate to move, and the socket falls down.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the fiber optic socket is moved by the detection moving structure, allowing the detection structure to inspect the fiber optic socket. If the detection structure detects that the fiber optic socket is defective, the detachment component drives the detachment plate to move, so that the detachment plate is not in the placement path of the detection moving structure. At this time, the detection moving structure drives the fiber optic socket to fall, causing the fiber optic socket to not abut against the detachment plate, preventing the subsequent detection moving structure from moving the fiber optic socket, thus enabling the defective fiber optic socket to detach. If the detection structure detects that the fiber optic socket is good, the detachment component does not drive the detachment plate to move, leaving the detachment plate in the placement path of the detection moving structure. At this time, the detection moving structure drives the fiber optic socket to fall, causing the fiber optic socket to abut against the detachment plate, allowing the subsequent detection moving structure to move the fiber optic socket, thus enabling the good fiber optic socket to move.

[0021] Optionally, a rotating module is also included, which is located between the detection module and the mounting cover assembly module. The rotating module includes a movable rotating bar with a movable rotating groove. The movable rotating groove closer to the mounting cover assembly module faces one side, and the movable rotating groove closer to the detection module faces the other side. When the material moves from one side of the movable rotating groove to the other side, the orientation of the material changes.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, since the detection module has requirements on the orientation of the fiber optic socket when it is being tested, the orientation of the fiber optic socket can be changed when it moves from the mounting cover assembly module to the detection module by moving the rotating slot near the mounting cover assembly module to one side and the rotating slot near the detection module to the other side. This allows the detection module to be oriented in a specified direction while testing the fiber optic socket, making it easier for staff to adjust the detection module.

[0023] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0024] 1. By gradually decreasing the distance between the bottom wall of the mounting cover placement slot and the mounting cover mounting base in the vertical downward direction, the mounting cover driving component can drive the mounting cover to move within the mounting cover placement slot. This allows the mounting cover's locking block to insert into the locking hole of the outer shell, enabling one side of the mounting cover to be pre-inserted into the outer shell. When the mounting cover assembly structure drives the mounting cover to move, the mounting cover can be more easily installed on the outer shell, reducing the risk of damage to the locking block during installation. This, in turn, reduces the likelihood of defective products being generated during the assembly of the fiber optic socket, improving the pass rate of the fiber optic socket.

[0025] 2. The outer shell is located in the mounting cover fixing hole. The mounting cover moving block is moved by the mounting cover moving drive component, so that the outer shell moves from the moving module to the mounting cover receiving slot. This allows the individual outer shell to be assembled, which can better position the outer shell and make the outer shell more stable during the assembly process. It avoids the situation where the outer shell moves in the moving module and causes misalignment between the outer shell and the mounting cover, so that the outer shell and the mounting cover can be assembled more stably.

[0041] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 3-14 This application will be described in further detail.

[0045] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The inner shell linear vibrator 110 has an inner shell through hole 114 for the inner shell push bar 112 to pass through. The inner shell push bar 112 drives the inner shell to move through the inner shell through hole 114 into the moving module 101.

[0046] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The moving module 101 includes a first moving structure 115, which includes a first moving base 116 and a moving drive assembly 117. The first moving base 116 is fixedly connected to the base 100, and the moving drive assembly 117 is disposed on the first moving base 116.

A groove 126 for the inner shell to move is formed on the surface of the longitudinal moving block 124. When the inner shell is located in the groove 126, the longitudinal moving block 124 can drive the inner shell to move.

[0048] Reference Figure 5 First, the longitudinal moving cylinder 123 drives the longitudinal moving block 124 to move, so that the material is located in the groove 126. Then, the transverse moving cylinder 121 drives the transverse moving block 122 to move. Then, the longitudinal moving cylinder 123 drives the longitudinal moving block 124 to disengage from the inner shell. Finally, the transverse moving cylinder 121 drives the longitudinal moving block 124 to reset.

[0049] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The pin assembly module 235 includes a pin vibratory plate 127, a pin linear vibrator 128, and a pin pushing structure 129.

[0050] Reference Figure 6 The first movable seat 116 has a movable through hole 134 on its surface, through which the pin passes. A pin fixing cylinder 133 is fixedly connected to a pin pushing plate 132, which has a pin through hole 135. The pin fixing cylinder 133 passes through the pin and abuts against it. A pin sliding groove 136 is provided on the pin seat 130 for the pin to slide, and the pin sliding groove 136 communicates with the movable through hole 134.

[0051] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 6 When the linear vibrator 128 drives the pin to move into the pin sliding groove 136, the pin fixing cylinder 133 disengages from the pin through hole 135, and then the pin pushing cylinder 131 pushes the pin to move into the moving through hole 134, so that the pin is installed in the inner shell. Finally, the pin fixing cylinder 133 is inserted into the pin through hole 135 so that the subsequent pin can be fixed in the pin sliding groove 136.

[0052] Reference Figure 7 The outer shell assembly module 103 includes an outer shell moving structure 137 and an outer shell assembly structure 138. The outer shell moving structure 137 drives the outer shell to move into the outer shell assembly structure 138, and the outer shell assembly structure 138 drives the outer shell and inner shell to assemble.

[0053] Reference Figure 7 The outer casing moving structure 137 includes an outer casing vibratory plate 139, an outer casing linear vibrator 140, an outer casing base 141, an outer casing pushing cylinder 142, and an outer casing pushing block 154. The outer casing vibratory plate 139 and the outer casing linear vibrator 140 are both fixedly connected to the base 100. The outer casing vibratory plate 139 drives the outer casing to move into the outer casing linear vibrator 140. The outer casing pushing cylinder 142 is fixedly connected to the base 100, and the outer casing pushing block 154 is fixedly connected to the drive shaft of the outer casing pushing cylinder 142.

[0054] Reference Figure 7 The housing base 141 has a housing slide 155 for sliding the housing, and the housing push block 154 slides within the housing slide 155. The housing push cylinder 142 drives the housing to move from the housing slide 155 to the moving module 101 via the housing push block 154.

[0055] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 The moving module 101 also includes a second moving structure 156, which includes a second moving cylinder 157, a moving bar 158, and a second moving seat 159. The second moving seat 159 is fixedly connected to the base 100. The second moving seat 159 has a moving hole 160 for the moving bar 158 to slide, and a moving groove 161 for material movement. The moving hole 160 communicates with the moving groove 161, which in turn communicates with the outer casing slide rail 155. The moving bar 158 is fixedly connected to the drive shaft of the moving cylinder. The moving bar 158 has a moving placement groove 162. Multiple rotating moving blocks 163 are rotatably connected within the moving placement groove 162. Torsion springs are fixedly connected to each rotating moving block 163, and the torsion springs drive the rotating moving blocks 163 to protrude out of the moving placement groove 162.

[0056] Reference Figure 8A movable inclined surface 164 is formed on the surface of the rotating moving block 163 facing the second moving cylinder 157. The distance between the movable inclined surface 164 and the second moving cylinder 157 gradually decreases in the vertically downward direction, and the material is located on the rotation path of the movable inclined surface 164. When the second moving cylinder 157 drives the moving bar 158 to move, the moving bar 158 moves in the direction of the second moving cylinder 157, allowing the material to drive the rotating moving block 163 to rotate through the movable inclined surface 164. The rotating moving block 163 is located in the moving placement groove 162 until the material no longer touches the rotating moving block 163. At this time, the torsion spring drives the rotating moving block 163 to reset.

[0057] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 9 The outer casing assembly structure 138 includes an outer casing assembly base 165, an outer casing limiting component 166, and an outer casing assembly component 167. The outer casing assembly base 165 is fixedly connected to the second movable base 159.

The outer casing limiting cylinder 143 is fixedly connected to the outer casing assembly base 165, and the outer casing limiting block 144 is fixedly connected to the outer casing limiting cylinder 143. An outer casing assembly hole 168 is provided on the outer casing assembly base 165. The outer casing assembly hole 168 communicates with the movable sliding groove 118 and the movable groove 161. The outer casing limiting cylinder 143 can drive the outer casing limiting block 144 to block the opening of the outer casing assembly hole 168 near the movable groove 161, thereby restricting the movement of material from the outer casing assembly hole 168 into the movable groove 161.

[0058] Reference Figure 9 The outer casing assembly 167 includes an outer casing assembly cylinder 169 and an outer casing assembly strip 170. The outer casing assembly cylinder 169 is fixedly connected to the outer casing assembly base 165, and the outer casing assembly strip 170 is fixedly connected to the drive shaft of the outer casing assembly cylinder 169. The outer casing assembly cylinder 169 drives the outer casing assembly strip 170 to move the inner casing from the outer casing assembly hole 168 into the moving groove 161, thereby assembling the outer casing and the inner casing.

[0059] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 9 The outer shell moves from the outer shell vibrating plate 139 to the outer shell slide 155 via the outer shell vibrator. The outer shell pushing cylinder 142 drives the outer shell pushing block 154 to move the outer shell into the moving groove 161. The second moving cylinder 157 drives the moving bar 158 to move, so that the moving bar 158 moves the outer shell to directly below the outer shell assembly seat 165. At this time, the outer shell limiting cylinder 143 drives the outer shell limiting block 144 to disengage from the outer shell assembly hole 168, so that the inner shell falls onto the outer shell. Then, the outer shell assembly cylinder 169 drives the outer shell assembly bar 170 to move, so that the outer shell assembly bar 170 drives the inner shell to insert into the outer shell, thus realizing the assembly of the inner shell and the outer shell.

[0060] Reference Figure 10 The circuit board assembly module 104 includes a circuit board mounting base 171, a circuit board moving structure 172, and a circuit board assembly structure 173. The circuit board moving structure 172 drives the circuit board to move into the circuit board assembly structure 173, and the circuit board assembly structure 173 drives the limiting plate and the outer shell to assemble.

[0061] Reference Figure 10 The circuit board moving structure 172 includes a circuit board vibratory feeder 174 and a circuit board linear vibrator 175. The circuit board vibratory feeder 174 drives the circuit board to be positioned in the circuit board mounting base 171 via the circuit board linear vibrator 175. The circuit board mounting base 171 has a circuit board slide rail 176 for the circuit board to slide, and the circuit board mounting base 171 abuts against the second movable base 159. The circuit board vibratory feeder 174 drives the circuit board to move into the circuit board linear vibrator 175, and the circuit board linear vibrator 175 drives the circuit board to move into the circuit board slide rail 176.

[0062] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 10 The circuit board assembly structure 173 includes a circuit board moving assembly 177 and a circuit board assembly 178. The structure of the circuit board moving assembly 177 is the same as that of the moving drive assembly 117, and the circuit board moving assembly 177 is provided with a circuit board mechanical gripper 179. The circuit board moving assembly 177 drives the circuit board mechanical gripper 179 to grab the circuit board in the second moving seat 159 and place it into the circuit board slide 176. The circuit board assembly assembly 178 drives the circuit board to be installed into the housing.

[0063] Reference Figure 10 The circuit board assembly assembly 178 includes a circuit board assembly section 180 and a circuit board assembly plate 181. The circuit board assembly section 180 includes a circuit board assembly cylinder 182, which drives the circuit board assembly plate 181 to move within the circuit board slide rail 176. When the housing is located within the circuit board slide rail 176, and the circuit board moves from the circuit board linear vibrator 175 into the circuit board slide rail 176, the circuit board assembly cylinder 182 drives the circuit board assembly plate 181 to move, allowing the circuit board assembly plate 181 to install the circuit board in the housing.

[0064] Reference Figure 11 The moving module 101 includes a third moving structure 183, which has the same structure as the moving drive assembly 117.

The mounting cover moving structure 187 includes a mounting cover moving component 190 and a mounting cover moving block 191. The mounting cover moving component 190 includes a mounting cover moving cylinder 192. The mounting cover moving cylinder 192 is fixedly connected to the base 100, and the mounting cover mounting base 186 is fixedly connected to the base 100. The mounting cover mounting base 186 has a mounting cover receiving groove 193 for placing the mounting cover moving block 191.

[0066] Reference Figure 11 and Figure 12 The mounting cover moving block 191 is fixedly connected to the drive shaft of the mounting cover moving cylinder 192. A mounting cover through hole 194 is provided on the surface of the third moving plate 184 for the mounting cover moving block 191 to pass through. A mounting cover fixing hole 195 is provided on the surface of the mounting cover moving block 191, and the mounting cover fixing hole 195 can communicate with the mounting cover through hole 194. When the mounting cover moving block 191 is located within the moving slide 185, the outer casing can fall into the mounting cover fixing hole 195. At this time, the mounting cover moving cylinder 192 drives the mounting cover moving block 191 to protrude from the third moving plate 184, allowing the outer casing to move to the mounting cover receiving groove 193.

[0067] Reference Figure 11 and Figure 12 The mounting cover feeding structure 188 includes a mounting cover feeding assembly 196 and a mounting cover placement assembly 197. The mounting cover feeding assembly 196 is used to drive the mounting cover to move onto the mounting cover placement assembly 197. The mounting cover placement assembly 197 is used to drive one side of the mounting cover to be located inside the housing, i.e., the locking block is located inside the locking hole.

[0068] Reference Figure 11 and Figure 12 The mounting cover loading assembly 196 includes a mounting cover vibratory feeder 198, a mounting cover linear vibrator 199, and a mounting cover pusher 200. Both the mounting cover vibratory feeder 198 and the mounting cover linear vibrator 199 are fixedly connected to the base 100. The mounting cover vibratory feeder 198 drives the mounting cover to move into the mounting cover linear vibrator 199, and the mounting cover linear vibrator 199 drives the mounting cover to move into the mounting cover pusher 200.

[0069] Reference Figure 11 and Figure 12The mounting cover pusher 200 includes a mounting cover pusher seat 201, a mounting cover pusher part 202, and a mounting cover pusher plate 203. The mounting cover pusher seat 201 is fixedly connected to the base 100. The mounting cover pusher seat 201 has a mounting cover pusher hole 204 for placing the mounting cover, and the mounting cover pusher hole 204 is connected to the mounting cover linear vibrator 199. The mounting cover pusher part 202 includes a mounting cover pusher cylinder 205, which drives the mounting cover pusher plate 203 to move, so that the mounting cover pusher plate 203 moves the mounting cover from the mounting cover pusher hole 204 into the mounting cover placement assembly 197.

[0070] Reference Figure 11 and Figure 12 The mounting cover placement assembly 197 includes a mounting cover placement strip 206 and a mounting cover drive component 207. The mounting cover placement strip 206 has a mounting cover placement groove 208 for sliding the mounting cover, and the mounting cover placement groove 208 communicates with the mounting cover push hole 204. The distance between the bottom wall of the mounting cover placement groove 208 and the mounting cover mounting seat 186 gradually decreases in the vertically downward direction, that is, the mounting cover can move along the inclined direction of the mounting cover placement groove 208, allowing one end of the mounting cover to be inserted into the outer shell, that is, the locking block is inserted into the locking hole, so that the locking block is not easily damaged during the assembly of the mounting cover.

[0071] Reference Figure 12 The mounting cover drive component 207 includes a mounting cover drive cylinder 209 and a mounting cover drive bar 210. The mounting cover drive bar 210 is fixedly connected to the drive shaft of the mounting cover drive cylinder 209, which is fixedly connected to the base 100. The mounting cover drive bar 210 moves within the mounting cover placement groove 208, and the mounting cover drive cylinder 209 pushes the mounting cover to slide within the mounting cover placement groove 208 via the mounting cover drive bar 210, thereby inserting the mounting cover's locking block into the locking hole of the outer shell.

[0072] Reference Figure 12 The mounting cover sealing strip has two integrally formed extension strips 211, which extend along the length of the mounting cover placement strip 206 and allow the mounting cover to slide between them. The mounting cover can also abut against the two extension strips 211. Two mounting cover drop holes 212 are formed on the bottom wall of the mounting cover placement groove 208. These holes allow the mounting cover's locking block to pass through and are located on one side of the outlet of the mounting cover placement groove 208. When the mounting cover falls, the locking block is positioned at the mounting cover drop hole 212, and the mounting cover is driven to fall by the mounting cover assembly structure 189.

[0073] Reference Figure 11 and Figure 12The mounting cover assembly structure 189 includes a mounting cover assembly cylinder 213 and a mounting cover assembly block 214. The mounting cover assembly cylinder 213 is fixedly connected to the base 100, and the mounting cover assembly block 214 is fixedly connected to the drive shaft of the mounting cover assembly cylinder 213. At this time, the mounting cover assembly block 214 is located on the side of the mounting cover mounting seat 186 away from the base 100. When the outer shell moves into the mounting cover receiving groove 193, and one side of the mounting cover is inside the outer shell, the mounting cover assembly cylinder 213 drives the mounting cover assembly block 214 to move, so that the mounting cover is inserted into the outer shell.

[0074] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 13 The rotating module 106 includes a movable rotating bar 215, which bends. A movable rotating groove 216 is formed on the movable rotating bar 215, extending along its length. One side of the movable rotating bar 215 is near the mounting cover assembly module 105, and the other side is near the detection module 107. The movable rotating groove 216 near the mounting cover assembly module 105 faces one side, and the movable rotating groove 216 near the detection module 107 faces the other side, meaning the orientation of the material changes when it passes through the movable rotating groove 216, facilitating subsequent detection by the detection module 107. A detection placement block 217 is fixedly connected to the base 100. The detection placement block 217 has a detection placement groove 218 communicating with the movable rotating groove 216, for placing the fiber optic socket.

[0075] Reference Figure 14 The detection module 107 includes a detection structure 219, a detection moving structure 220, and a detachment structure 221. The detection structure 219 is used to detect the fiber optic socket. The detection moving structure 220 is used to drive the fiber optic socket to pass through the detection structure 219, the detachment structure 221, and the discharge module 108 in sequence. The detachment structure 221 is used to detach defective products.

[0076] Reference Figure 14 The detection structure 219 includes a detector 222 and a detection base 223. The detector 222 is capable of detecting the fiber optic socket. The detection base 223 is for placing the fiber optic socket. The detection moving structure 220 includes a detection moving base 224, a lateral moving assembly 225, and a longitudinal moving assembly 226. The lateral moving assembly 225 includes a lateral moving motor 236 and a lateral moving plate 237. The lateral moving plate 237 is fixedly connected to the drive shaft of the lateral moving motor 236. The lateral moving motor 236 is fixedly connected to the base 100.

[0077] Reference Figure 14The detection moving base 224 has a detection through hole 227 for the drive shaft of the transverse moving motor 236 to pass through. A detection rotation hole 228 is formed on the surface of the detection moving base 224, extending circumferentially along the detection through hole 227. A detection rotation bar 229 is slidably connected within the detection rotation hole 228, and is rotatably connected to the transverse moving plate 237. When the transverse moving motor 236 starts, it drives the transverse moving plate 237 to rotate, causing the transverse moving plate 237 to move the detection rotation bar 229 along the extension direction of the detection rotation hole 228, thus realizing the movement of the detection rotation bar 229.

[0078] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 14 The longitudinal moving assembly 226 includes multiple longitudinal cylinders 230 and longitudinal mechanical claws 231. The longitudinal cylinders 230 are fixedly connected to the detection rotating plate, and the longitudinal mechanical claws 231 are fixedly connected to the drive shaft of the longitudinal cylinders 230. The transverse moving assembly 225 drives the longitudinal moving assembly 226 to move, allowing the longitudinal mechanical claws 231 to grasp the fiber optic socket, moving the fiber optic socket from the detection placement slot 218 to the detection seat 223, and then moving the fiber optic socket from the detection seat 223 to the disengagement structure 221, and finally moving the fiber optic socket from the disengagement structure 221 to the discharge module 108.

[0079] Reference Figure 14 The detachment structure 221 includes a detachment component 232 and a detachment plate 233. The detachment component 232 includes a detachment cylinder, which is fixedly connected to the base 100. The detachment plate 233 is fixedly connected to the drive shaft of the detachment cylinder. The base 100 has a detachment hole 234 for the fiber optic pin to fall down, and the detachment plate 233 is located directly above the detachment hole 234.

[0080] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 14 When detector 222 detects a defective fiber optic ferrule, the release cylinder drives the release plate 233 to move, so that the release plate 233 is not directly above the release hole 234, allowing the fiber optic connector to fall from the release hole 234. When detector 222 detects a good fiber optic connector, the release plate 233 is directly above the release hole 234, and the fiber optic connector is placed on the release plate 233, so that the longitudinal mechanical gripper 231 can drive the fiber optic connector to move next time.

[0081] The implementation principle of a fully automatic fiber optic socket assembly machine according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: the inner shell, pins, outer shell and circuit board are assembled through the inner shell assembly module 102, the pin assembly module 235, the outer shell assembly module 103 and the circuit board assembly module 104.

[0082] The mounting cover is moved into the mounting cover pushing hole 204 by the mounting cover feeding structure 188. The mounting cover pushing cylinder 205 moves the mounting cover into the mounting cover placement slot 208 through the mounting cover pushing plate 203. At the same time, the mounting cover moving cylinder 192 drives the mounting cover moving block 191 to move, so that the outer shell moves into the mounting cover receiving slot 193. At this time, the mounting cover driving cylinder 209 drives the mounting cover driving strip 210 to move, so that the mounting cover driving strip 210 drives the mounting cover to move onto the outer shell, so that the mounting cover's locking block is inserted into the locking hole of the outer shell. Finally, the mounting cover assembly cylinder 213 drives the mounting cover assembly block 214 to fall, so as to assemble the mounting block and the outer shell.

[0083] The detection and discharge of the insertion pins are achieved through the rotation module 106, the detection module 107, and the discharge module 108.
