Four stations 11, 12, 13, and 14 are uniformly and spacedly arranged on the four-station rotating disc 1 in a circumferential direction. A lifting cylinder 10 for fixing a live wrench 20 is arranged on each station 11, 12, 13, and 14. The first station 11 is a feeding station. The live wrench 20 is placed into the first station 11 by the automatic mechanical hand. The second station 12 is a positioning station. The lifting cylinder 10 is lowered to fix the live wrench 20. The third station 13 is a handle station. A fifth station 4 is arranged on the workbench 2 corresponding to the third station 13. A rubber handle 30 is conveyed to the fifth station 4 by the conveying belt 3. A first cylinder 40 is arranged on the fifth station 4 to fix the rubber handle 30. A second cylinder 5 is arranged on the workbench 2 to push the fifth station 4 to move forward and backward and to put the rubber handle 30 into the live wrench 20. The fourth station 14 is a discharging station. The lifting cylinder 10 is raised. The live wrench 20 with the handle is taken out by the automatic mechanical hand.

[0022] Specifically, two positioning grooves 15 for two live wrenches 20 are arranged side by side on each station 11, 12, 13, and 14 of the four-station rotating disc 1. The two live wrenches 20 are placed in the corresponding positioning grooves 15. The handle of the live wrench 20 extends out of the station. Two lifting cylinders 10 are arranged on each station 11, 12, 13, and 14, respectively, above the corresponding positioning grooves 15. A track 21 is arranged on the workbench 2 for the fifth station 4 to move forward and backward. Two positioning points for two rubber handles 30 are arranged side by side on the fifth station 4. The rubber handle 30 is positioned on the fifth station 4 corresponding to the handle of the live wrench 20 on the third station 13.

[0023] The process flow of the fifth station 4 for sleeving the handle 30 is shown in the figure, and specifically comprises the following steps: (a) the handle 30 at the terminal end of the conveying belt 3 enters the fifth station 4, and the first cylinder 40 is lowered to fix the handle 30; (b) the second cylinder 5 pushes the fifth station 4 to move forward to align with the third station 13, and the handle 30 is sleeved into the handle part of the spanner 20; (c) the lifting cylinder 10 is raised to loosen the spanner 10 with the sleeved handle 30; (d) the first cylinder 40 and the second cylinder 5 are automatically returned to the original position, the fifth station 4 is returned to the original position, and the handle 30 on the conveying belt 3 enters the fifth station 4, and the above steps are repeated. Figure 3

[0024] The conveying belt 3 is provided on the left and right sides of the fifth station 4, and the handle 30 is sent into the conveying belt 3 through a circular vibrating disc and an infrared sensor. The terminal end of the conveying belt 3 corresponds to the positioning point on the fifth station 4. The second cylinder 5 is provided on the workbench 2 at the rear side of the fifth station 4, and the working end of the second cylinder 5 abuts against the rear end of the fifth station 4.

The unqualified product conveying belt 9 is located at one side of the middle and rear part of the detection conveying belt 8 and is perpendicular to the detection conveying belt 8. The other side of the detection conveying belt 8 is provided with a third cylinder 60 for ejecting unqualified products out of the detection conveying belt 8. The unqualified products detected by the visual detector 70 are ejected by the third cylinder 60 to the unqualified product conveying belt 9, and the qualified products are taken off by the automatic mechanical hand at the terminal end of the detection conveying belt 8. The visual detector 70 can detect defects such as surface oil stains, flaws, and the installation of the handle. The visual detector 70 is provided with a display screen, and the display screen is provided with a count and statistics of qualified products and unqualified products. The control system comprises a control panel, and the workbench 2 is provided with a button switch 50.

[0026] The lifting cylinder 10, the first cylinder 40, the second cylinder 5, and the third cylinder 60 in the embodiment are pneumatic devices, and can also be hydraulic devices. The conveying belt 3, the detection conveying belt 8, and the unqualified product conveying belt 9 are chain transmissions, and can also be synchronous belt transmissions.

[0027] The working principle is as follows:

[0028] ​The live wrench 20 is placed in the turnover box, and is put into the first station 11 of the four-station rotating disc 1 by the automatic mechanical arm. After entering the second station 12, the lifting cylinder 10 is lowered to fix the live wrench 20. After entering the third station 13, the rubber sleeve handle 30 in the fifth station 4 is sent into the handle part of the live wrench 20 through the conveying belt 3 and the third cylinder 5. Finally, the fourth station 14 is carried out, the lifting cylinder 10 is raised, the finished product is taken down by the automatic mechanical arm and is placed into the detection conveying belt 8. After being detected by the visual detector 70, the unqualified product is pushed out by the third cylinder 60 and enters the unqualified product conveying belt 9. The qualified product continues to flow to the qualified product area through the detection conveying belt 8. Since the visual detector 70 has a counting function, the display screen can automatically display the count of the qualified product and the unqualified product, which is convenient for statistics.

[0029] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application, and it should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several improvements and refinements without departing from the technical principles of the present application, and these improvements and refinements should also be considered within the protection scope of the present application.
