The top of the reset assembly 7 is connected to a box base positioning fixture 20. A receiving plate 21 is connected between the inner walls of the shell 1. A servo motor 6 is connected to one side of the shell 1. The output end of the servo motor 6 passes through the shell 1 and is connected to the transmission sprocket frame 2. Two sets of controllers 111 are connected to the top of the plate frame 4. Reference Figure 1 As shown, a gantry frame 5 is connected to the top of the housing 1. Two industrial cameras 51 are connected to the top of the inner side of the gantry frame 5. During the assembly process, the plate frame 4 will drive each component into the gantry frame 5 along with the operation of the chain 3, and assemble them at the same time. The assembly status can be detected by the industrial cameras 51, thereby monitoring the production process.
[0019] Reference Figure 6 As shown, the unloading assembly 12 includes a positioning frame 121 fixedly mounted on the top of the plate frame 4. Electric push rods 122 are rotatably mounted on both sides of the positioning frame 121. A horizontal shaft 123 is connected to one end of the electric push rod 122. A support frame 124 is slidably mounted in the middle of the horizontal shaft 123. A support plate 125 is connected to both ends of the support frame 124. A pull rod rubber seat 126 is connected to the top of the support plate 125. After assembly, the electric push rod 122 extends and pushes the support frame 124 through the horizontal shaft 123 to push out the assembled pull rod located above the pull rod rubber seat 126 for unloading. In the assembled type, the unloading assembly 12 located between the box card support assembly 8 and the handle loading assembly 9 can also provide support for the pull rod during assembly.
[0020] Reference Figure 4As shown, anti-slip rubber rings 151 are connected to both sides of one end of the insert plate 15 located inside the fitting seat 16. A protective pad 17 is connected to the top of the fitting seat 16. A bolt assembly 18 is connected to one side of the fitting seat 16.

At the same time, the anti-slip rubber rings 151 can ensure the stability of the second support bracket 14. When maintenance or replacement is required, the bolt assembly 18 and the round shaft at the top of the fixing head 13 can be removed for disassembly.
[0021] Reference Figure 8 As shown, the reset assembly 7 includes a side plate 71 and a mounting base 72 fixedly mounted on the top of the plate frame 4. A slide rail 73 and a guide rod 74 are connected between the side plates 71. The guide rod 74 is slidably connected to the mounting base 72. The two sides of the mounting base 72 are slidably connected to the slide rail 73. A traction spring 75 is connected to the side of the side plate 71 and the mounting base 72 that are close to each other. The box seat positioning fixture 20 is connected to the top of the mounting base 72. After the box seat assembly in the pull rod assembly is placed on the box seat positioning fixture 20, after the fixing sleeve is inserted into the box seat positioning fixture 20 for connection, when it moves in the opposite direction again and intercepts the pull rod assembly on the box card support assembly 8, the box seat turns back and the box seat positioning fixture 20 drives the mounting base 72 to slide along the guide rod 74. The stiffness coefficient of 75 is low and will not affect the connection between the box seat and the sleeve. After the pull rod assembly is unloaded after connection is completed by 12, the traction spring 75 will pull the mounting base 72 to reset. The positioning fixture 20 for the housing includes a horizontal plate 201. Two rectangular plates 202 are connected to the top of the horizontal plate 201. Each rectangular plate 202 has a pull rod support 203 connected to its top. A support bracket 204 is connected to the top of the horizontal plate 201. A top piece 205 is connected to the top of the support bracket 204. A limit clamp 206 is connected to one side of the top of the horizontal plate 201. A reinforcing rib 207 is connected to one side of the limit clamp 206. When the housing is installed, the pull rod support 203 will be locked under the connecting pipe head of the housing. The support bracket 204 and the top piece 205 will support the middle position of the housing from below. One side of the housing will be locked into the limit clamp 206, thereby completing the positioning of the housing.
[0022] Box Reference Figure 7 As shown, the box card support assembly 8 includes a fixed base 81. The top of the fixed base 81 is connected to a slot 82, and a fitting groove 83 is connected to one side of the slot 82. The top of the slot 82 is provided with an insertion hole 84. When the component connected to the sleeve is placed in the slot 82, the outer edge of the component will be locked into the fitting groove 83, and the bolt seat on the component will be inserted into the insertion hole 84, thereby completing the positioning and installation.
[0023] Reference Figure 3As shown, the handle feeding assembly 9 includes a second cylinder 22 connected to the top of the plate frame 4. The output end of the second cylinder 22 is connected to a connecting seat 23. The top of the connecting seat 23 is connected to a handle groove 24. The pull rod handle is inserted into the handle groove 24 from one side. The retraction of the sleeve cylinder 22 drives the connecting seat 23, thereby causing the handle groove 24 to be spliced with the pull rod handle to one end of the slide rod. The wire of the lock can be pre-connected before splicing.
[0024] Reference Figure 4 As shown, the clamping assembly 19 includes a U-shaped frame 191 disposed at the top of the support frame 2 14. A cylinder 192 is connected to both sides of the U-shaped frame 191. The output end of the cylinder 192 passes through the U-shaped frame 191 and is connected to a drive assembly 193. A guide rod 194 is connected to one side of the drive assembly 193. The guide rod 194 is slidably connected to the U-shaped frame 191. The slide rod and sleeve to be spliced are placed between the drive assemblies 193 in the corresponding U-shaped frames 191. Then, the cylinder 192 is activated to push the drive assembly 193 to clamp the pipe and thus position the pipe.
[0025] Reference Figure 5 As shown, the drive assembly 193 includes a mounting clip 1931. Multiple support shafts 1932 are rotatably mounted inside the mounting clip 1931. Each support shaft 1932 has a timing gear 1933 connected to one end. A drive motor 1935 is connected inside the mounting clip 1931. A timing pulley 1936 is connected to the output end of the drive motor 1935. A timing belt 1934 is sleeved between the timing pulley 1936 and the timing gear 1933. A transmission belt 1937 is sleeved between the timing pulley 1936 and the support shafts 1932. After the drive assembly 193 clamps and fixes the corresponding slide rod and sleeve, the drive motor 1935 is started to drive the timing pulley 1936 to rotate. Through the connection between the timing belt 1934 and the timing gear 1933, the timing belt 1937 drives the timing wheel to rotate. The entire support shaft 1932 rotates, thereby driving the transmission belt 1937. As shown in the attached diagram, the infrared position sensor 11 and the displacement sensor 10 are located directly below the corresponding slide rod and sleeve. By controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the drive motor 1935, the corresponding slide rod and sleeve can be moved back and forth when the transmission belt 1937 is running, so as to adjust their positions. The appropriate position is the critical point monitored by the infrared position sensor 11. The transmission belt 1937 first drives the corresponding component to move out of the monitoring area of the infrared position sensor 11, and then moves back to its original position. The infrared position sensor 11 detects that there is a component blocking it from above and stops the operation of the drive component 193 through the controller 111 as soon as possible, thereby ensuring that the two adjacent components are in a parallel state, which facilitates the splicing.
[0026] The implementation principle of this application is as follows: When using this invention, the pull rod assembly is placed in the corresponding positioning position, the pull rod handle is placed in the handle groove 24 in the handle loading assembly 9, and the assembly connected to the sleeve is placed on the box card support assembly 8 and the box seat positioning fixture 20 respectively. Then, the sleeve and the slide rod are fixed on the corresponding clamping assembly 19. Then, the rod is repositioned by the drive assembly 193 through the monitoring of the infrared position sensor 11. The cylinder 22 retracts and drives the connecting seat 23 and the handle groove 24, thereby moving the bag handle towards the slide rod for assembly. At the same time, the clamping assembly 19 located between the box seat positioning fixture 20 and the box card support assembly 8 drives the sleeve to move towards the box seat. The process continues until the sleeve is spliced with the box base. After the connection is completed, the drive component 193 drives it to move in the opposite direction, so that the sleeve can be inserted into the component on the box support component 8. At the same time, the clamping component 19 located between the box support component 8 and the handle feeding component 9 drives the slide rod that has been assembled with the handle to move towards the component on the box support component 8 until the slide tube is inserted into the sleeve to complete the splicing. During and after splicing, it will enter the gantry 5 and be photographed and inspected by the industrial camera 51 to determine whether it is qualified. When the qualified spliced pull rod moves above the receiving plate 21 with the operation of the chain 3, the unloading component 12 is activated to push out the spliced pull rod and drop it onto the receiving plate 21 for export. If it is a qualified product, it will be repositioned and assembled.
