[0020] The present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0021] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 The utility model provides an automatic assembly mechanism for the rubber ring on the bottom of the connector, comprising: an auxiliary turntable mechanism 1, a plurality of lower rubber ring carriers 2 arranged on the auxiliary turntable mechanism 1, a lower rubber ring feeding assembly 3 and a lower connector grabbing assembly 4 arranged beside the auxiliary turntable mechanism 1. The auxiliary turntable mechanism 1 drives the lower rubber ring carrier 2 to move below the lower rubber ring feeding assembly 3 and the lower connector grabbing assembly 4 respectively. The lower rubber ring carrier 2 comprises: a fixed seat 21 arranged on the auxiliary turntable mechanism 1, a movable seat 22 movably arranged on the fixed seat 21, and a plurality of reset mechanisms 23 arranged between the fixed seat 21 and the movable seat 22. A lower rubber ring carrier 221 is arranged in the middle of the movable seat 22, and a push block is arranged on the edge of the fixed seat 21 corresponding to the lower rubber ring carrier 221. When the movable seat 22 is pressed down, the push block passes through the movable seat 22 and moves to the height of the lower rubber ring carrier 221.

[0022] During operation, the lower rubber ring is picked up and placed in the lower rubber ring carrier 2 through the lower rubber ring feeding component 3, so that the lower rubber ring is sleeved on the lower rubber ring carrier 221. The auxiliary turntable mechanism 1 moves the lower rubber ring carrier 2 with the lower rubber ring placed thereon to the bottom of the lower connector grabbing component 4. The lower connector grabbing component 4 picks up the connector and moves the connector to the corresponding position above the lower rubber ring carrier 221, presses the connector downward, and pushes the movable seat 22, so that the movable seat 22 moves downward. In the process of the movable seat 22 moving downward, the push block on the fixed seat 21 passes through the gap of the movable seat 22, and pushes the lower rubber ring on the lower rubber ring carrier 221, thereby pushing the lower rubber ring into the rubber ring sleeve position below the connector, realizing the rapid sleeve of the lower rubber ring below, and in this process, there is no need to flip the connector, and the lower rubber ring is quickly positioned by the lower rubber ring carrier 2, effectively improving the efficiency of assembly processing.

[0023] The reset mechanism 23 is a spring. When the connector is taken out from the lower rubber ring carrier 2, the elastic action of the spring pushes the movable seat 22 to reset, thereby facilitating the installation of the next set of lower rubber rings.

[0024] The auxiliary turntable mechanism 1 includes: an auxiliary turntable motor 11, a reducer 12 connected to the output end of the auxiliary turntable motor 11, and an auxiliary turntable 13 connected to the output end of the reducer 12. The lower rubber ring carrier 2 is arranged on the auxiliary turntable 13. A plurality of rotating induction plates are arranged at the bottom of the auxiliary turntable 13, and a photoelectric sensor is arranged below the auxiliary turntable 13 corresponding to the rotating induction plates. The auxiliary turntable motor 11 is started, decelerated by the reducer 12, and then the auxiliary turntable 13 is driven to rotate. The rotating induction plates are arranged on the corresponding radius of the lower rubber ring carrier 2. When the auxiliary turntable mechanism 1 drives the lower rubber ring carrier 2 to move one station, the rotating induction plates move to the detection position of the photoelectric sensor, thereby outputting a detection signal to the control system, and controlling the auxiliary turntable motor 11 to stop working through the control system, thereby ensuring the movement and positioning of the lower rubber ring carrier 2 at each station.

[0025] See also Figure 3 The lower rubber ring feeding assembly 3 includes: a vibration plate 31, a guide feeding mechanism 32 connected to the output end of the vibration plate 31, a lower rubber ring X-axis moving module 33 arranged beside the guide feeding mechanism 32, a lower rubber ring Z-axis moving module 34 arranged on the moving end of the lower rubber ring X-axis moving module 33, and a lower rubber ring clamping cylinder 35 arranged on the moving end of the lower rubber ring Z-axis moving module 34. The lower rubber ring is poured into the vibration plate 31, and the vibration plate 31 generates vibration, so that the lower rubber ring enters the guide feeding mechanism 32, and the feeding reverse direction of the lower rubber ring is adjusted by the guide feeding mechanism 32, so that the lower rubber ring is fed in the set direction. The lower rubber ring X-axis moving module 33 and the lower rubber ring Z-axis moving module 34 are started in coordination to move the lower rubber ring clamping cylinder 35 to the discharge end of the guide feeding mechanism 32 to clamp the lower rubber ring, and then move it to the top of the lower rubber ring carrier 2 to set the lower rubber ring on the lower rubber ring carrier 221.

[0026] The lower rubber ring X-axis moving module 33 and the lower rubber ring Z-axis moving module 34 both adopt a motor screw mechanism to meet the control requirements of movement and feeding.

[0027] The two output clamping jaws of the lower rubber ring clamping cylinder 35 are respectively connected to clamping blocks, and the clamping blocks are Y-shaped structures, and the two branches of the Y-shaped structure are staggered, and the branches of the Y-shaped structure of the clamping blocks on the two output clamping jaws correspond to each other. With the above design, both sides of the lower rubber ring can be clamped at the same time, so that the lower rubber ring can be easily set on the lower rubber ring carrier 221.

[0028] See also Figure 4The lower connector grabbing assembly 4 includes: a lower connector grabbing X-axis moving module 41, a lower connector grabbing Z-axis moving module 42 disposed on the moving end of the lower connector grabbing X-axis moving module 41, and a lower connector clamping module 43 disposed on the moving end of the lower connector grabbing Z-axis moving module 42. The lower connector clamping module 43 includes: a lower connector grabbing bracket 431 disposed on the moving end of the lower connector grabbing Z-axis moving module 42, a rotating cylinder 432 disposed on the lower connector grabbing bracket 431, and a lower connector grabbing cylinder 433 disposed on the output end of the rotating cylinder 432. The lower connector grabbing X-axis moving module 41 and the lower connector grabbing Z-axis moving module 42 cooperate to move the lower connector clamping module 43 to the top of the connector, thereby clamping the connector, and then moving it to the top of the lower rubber ring carrier 2 to achieve the sleeve setting of the lower rubber ring. If the feeding direction of the connector is different from the direction of the lower rubber ring carrier 2, the direction of the connector can be adjusted by rotating the cylinder 432 to meet the sleeve installation requirements of the lower rubber ring under the connector.

[0029] A detection module 5 is arranged beside the auxiliary turntable mechanism 1. After the lower rubber ring is sleeved on the bottom of the connector, the connector is detected and identified by the detection module 5 to determine the sleeve effect of the lower rubber ring, thereby detecting the assembly yield of the connector.

[0030] To summarize, the utility model picks up the lower rubber ring and places it in the lower rubber ring carrier through the lower rubber ring feeding assembly, positions the lower rubber ring through the lower rubber ring carrier, and presses the connector downward through the lower connector grabbing assembly to push the movable seat, so that the movable seat moves downward, and the push block passes through the gap of the movable seat to push the rubber ring into the rubber ring sleeve position under the connector, thereby realizing rapid sleeve installation of the lower rubber ring from below. In this process, there is no need to flip the connector, and it is quickly positioned through the lower rubber ring carrier, effectively improving the efficiency of assembly and processing.

[0031] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
