The device of the present invention is used for unmanned automatic threading of flexible watch straps. The main processes include loading, threading through the left threading hole a0, ultrasonic welding of the left thread end, threading through the right threading hole a0, ultrasonic welding of the right thread end, and unloading. Since the watch strap needs to be threaded on both sides, two sets of threading mechanisms and ultrasonic welding mechanisms are required.
[0047] Reference Figure 4 、 Figure 5 The turntable 2 includes a turntable body 201 driven by a turntable motor 205. The turntable body 201 is provided with a plurality of watch strap placement seats 202. The plurality of watch strap placement seats 202 are distributed at equal angles around the center of the turntable body 201. A watch strap fixing clip 203 is installed in each watch strap placement seat 202 through a spring.

Each strap placement seat 202 is provided with a wire clamp 204 at the outer end, and the upper end of the wire clamp 204 has two wire clamping portions 204a spaced apart.
[0048] Reference Figure 4 、 Figure 7 The loading and unloading mechanism 3 includes a material tray 301, a suction nozzle 302, a positioning turntable 303, and a clamping assembly 304. The watch strap a to be processed is placed in the material tray 301, and the material tray 301 is driven to move by the Y-axis module A 305. The suction nozzle 302 is driven to rise and fall by the Z-axis module A 306, and the Z-axis module A 306 is connected to the X-axis module A 307. The suction nozzle 302 is used to suck the watch strap a in the material tray 301 and place it on the positioning turntable 303 for secondary positioning. Figure 8The positioning turntable 303 is provided with a positioning post 303a. The suction nozzle 302 places the watchband a on the positioning turntable 303 and moves until the end of the watchband a contacts the positioning post 303a and stops. The watchband a is then positioned. The suction nozzle 302 then re-sucks the watchband a and places it on the watchband placement seat 202. Before placing the watchband a, the watchband fixing clamp 203 on the watchband placement seat 202 is first opened by the clamp opening assembly 304. The clamp opening assembly 304 includes a clamp opening lifting cylinder 304a and a push head 304c connected to the clamp opening lifting cylinder 304a and driven by a clamp opening telescopic cylinder 304b. The push head 304c can push the push rod 203a to open the watchband fixing clamp 203, allowing the suction nozzle 302 to place the watchband a on the watchband placement seat 202. After the watchband a is lowered, the clamp opening assembly 304 is reset, and the watchband fixing clamp 203 clamps and fixes the watchband a under the action of the spring.

The module can drive the pressure rod 401c to move and press the strap a to prevent the strap a from moving.
[0051] The first wire feeder 402 includes a wire feeder 402a, a first threading seat 402b, a clamping seat 402c, a second threading seat 402d, and a threading and cutting shears 402e, which are arranged in a sequential order. The wire b from the wire feeder 402a passes through the first threading seat 402b, the clamping seat 402c, and the second threading seat 402d in sequence. The clamping seat 402c includes a clamping claw driven by a clamping cylinder to clamp the wire b. The threading and cutting shears 402e are mounted at the front end of the second threading seat 402d and can be raised to cut the wire b.

The first gripper robot 403 includes a robot body 403a, a robot gripper assembly 403c connected to the robot body 403a and driven by a robot rotating cylinder 403b.

Figure 11 The crochet hook 404b is arranged on the left side of the strap placement seat 202, and a hook thread opening 8 is opened at the top of the crochet hook 404b.
[0054] The implementation action of the first threading mechanism 4 is to first press the watchband a through the first flattening mechanism 401, and the crochet needle 404b of the first threading machine 404 passes through the threading hole a0 on the left side of the watchband a, and the first clamping robot 403 clamps the thread end of the wire b from the first wire feeding machine 402 and passes it around the hook hole 8 of the crochet needle 404b. The module drives the crochet needle 404b and the thread to move downward, pass the thread through the threading hole a0 on the left, and pull the thread end to the bottom of the watchband a. Then the wire clamping claw assembly 404d clamps the wire b, and the threading lifting cylinder 404c drives the wire clamping claw assembly 404d and the thread to move downward, so that a distance is reserved between the wire clamping claw assembly 404d and the watchband placement seat 202, and then the first clamping claw robot 403 extends to between the wire clamping claw assembly 404d and the watchband placement seat 202, pulls the thread end and continues to pass around the crochet needle 404b. After repeating the threading action several times, the threading is completed. At this time, the thread end is clamped by the wire clamping claw assembly 404d, and the first clamping claw robot 403 first clamps the wire b led out by the first wire feeding machine 402. The threading and cutting scissors 402e of the first wire feeding machine 402 rise up to cut the wire b to cut the wire. Then, the first clamping claw robot 403 clamps the thread end at this end into one of the wire clamping parts 204a of the wire clamp 204, and then the first clamping claw robot 403 extends to between the wire clamping claw assembly 404d and the strap placement seat 202, clamps the thread end at the other end and clamps it into the other wire clamping part 204a of the wire clamp 204.

When the Y-axis module D 503a drives the ultrasonic welding head 503b to extend, the welding wire cutting shear 503d also extends. Furthermore, the welding telescopic cylinder 503c can further extend the welding wire cutting shear 503d.
[0059] The first ultrasonic welding mechanism 5 performs the following actions: the first clamping jaw 501d of the first winding machine 501 first clamps one of the wire ends on the wire clamp 204; then the ultrasonic welding head 503b of the first ultrasonic welding machine 503 and the welding wire cutting shears 503d extend synchronously; the welding telescopic cylinder 503c drives the welding wire cutting shears 503d to extend further, and cuts off the excess length of the wire end outside the wire clamp 204; after cutting, the welding wire cutting shears 503d retracts; then the second clamping jaw 501e of the first winding machine 501 clamps the wire clamp 204 The other wire end on the strap a is moved, and then the first welding pressure head assembly 502 is actuated, driving the pressure head 502c to press the strap a, and the winding rotating cylinder 501b of the first winding machine 501 is actuated, and the first clamping jaw 501d and the second clamping jaw 501e rotate synchronously, so that the two wires are entangled with each other. After the winding is completed, the telescopic block 501f in the middle of the clamping jaw drops and rests between the two wires to make the wires taut; finally, the ultrasonic welding head 503b of the first ultrasonic welding machine 503 extends out to weld the wire ends, welding the two wires together to complete the ultrasonic welding operation.
