[0087] The material taking member 42 is used to suck the screws on the conveying seat 22 onto the spring on the fixing seat 32 .

[0088] The XZ axis linear module 41 serves as a driving structure, which can drive the material picking component 42 to move in the X axis and Z axis directions. In this way, the material picking component 42 can be driven to move above the conveying seat 22, and then move to the fixed seat 32 after sucking the screw, thereby completing the material picking.

[0089] In this embodiment, the XZ axis linear module 41 can adopt a combination of a cylinder and a linear motor to conveniently drive the material picking component 42 to move. The material picking component 42 adopts a negative pressure component to generate a large suction force, thereby sucking the screw onto the spring to facilitate the assembly of the screw and the spring.

[0090] Advantageously, in some embodiments of the present invention, the assembly component 50 includes a Z-axis driving component 51 and a pressing component 52; the Z-axis driving component 51 is arranged in the middle of the mounting frame 70 and is connected to the pressing component 52, and is used to drive the pressing component 52 to move along the Z-axis direction; the pressing component 52 is used to press the screws and springs on the fixing seat 32 to assemble the screws in the spring.

[0091] The Z-axis driving assembly can use a cylinder to drive the pressing member 52 to move in the Z-axis direction, and then use the pressing member 52 to press the screw so that the screw can move into the spring and then be assembled in the spring, thereby realizing the assembly of the spring screw.

[0092] Advantageously, in some embodiments of the present invention, the blanking assembly 60 includes an XZ-axis driving module 61 and a clamping member 62;

[0093] The XZ axis driving module 61 is disposed at the left end of the mounting frame 70 and is connected to the clamping member 62 to drive the clamping member 62 to move along the XZ axis direction;

[0095] The XZ axis driving module 61 can be a combination of a linear motor and a cylinder, which can drive the clamping member 62 to move in the X-axis and Z-axis directions, and then when the rotating seat 31 drives the fixed seat 32 to rotate to the bottom of the clamping member 62, the spring assembled with the screw is removed from the fixed seat 32 and moved to the transmission position for subsequent transmission. The clamping member 62 can be a clamping claw cylinder, which has a good clamping effect and is not easy to fall off, which is conducive to the smooth movement of the screw.

In this way, when positioning the spring, the spring can be sleeved on the outer wall of the positioning member 322, and a slot 3221 is provided on the positioning member 322. Therefore, when assembling the screw, it is only necessary to insert the screw from the upper end of the spring, and then use the assembly component to press the screw and the spring downward. After the screw and the spring are compressed, the spring will slide downward in the positioning groove 3211 along the outer wall of the positioning member 322. At the same time, the screw will gradually be inserted into the screw and move downward to the slot 3221 on the positioning member 322. When the screw moves downward to the extreme position, the screw is assembled in place. When the subsequent blanking component 60 is blanked, it is only necessary to use the clamping member 62 to clamp the spring and stretch it upward to remove the spring and the screw from the fixing seat 32.
