[0037] Main driving button housing fixing mechanism 3: A main driving button housing groove 302 matching the main driving button housing is opened on the main driving button housing fixing platform 303, and a main driving button housing clamping mechanism 301 is fixedly installed on the side of the main driving button housing fixing platform 303.

[0038] Co-pilot button housing fixing mechanism 1: A main driving button housing groove 102 matching the co-pilot button housing is opened on the co-pilot button housing fixing platform 103, and a co-pilot button housing clamping mechanism 101 is fixedly installed on the side of the co-pilot button housing fixing platform 103.

[0039] Left rear door button housing fixing mechanism 2: A left rear door button housing groove 202 matching the left rear door button housing is opened on the left rear door button housing fixing platform 203, and a left rear door button housing clamping mechanism 201 is fixedly installed on the side of the left rear door button housing fixing platform 203.

[0040] Right rear door button housing fixing mechanism 9: A right rear door button housing groove 902 matching the right rear door button housing is opened on the right rear door button housing fixing platform 903, and a right rear door button housing clamping mechanism 901 is fixedly installed on the side of the right rear door button housing fixing platform 903.

[0041] The main driving button housing clamping mechanism 301, the co-pilot button housing clamping mechanism 101, the left rear door button housing clamping mechanism 201 and the right rear door button housing clamping mechanism 901 have the same structure; the structure of the clamping mechanism is the same as that of ZL2023211080964 (in this patent) Figure 6 ) has the same structure as the kettle tube end clamping mechanism, and the shell can be separated or clamped (pressed) by adjusting the rotating clamping mechanism.

[0042] Buckle grabbing mechanism 4: A side bracket 402 is fixedly installed on the side of the telescopic cylinder 406, and the manipulator mounting seat 401 is fixedly installed on the side bracket 402. The front end of the telescopic rod 403 of the telescopic cylinder 406 is installed with a connecting bracket 404, and the bottom end of the clamping cylinder 405 is installed at the lower end of the connecting bracket 404. A guide slider 408 is fixedly installed at the front end of the cylinder body of the clamping cylinder 405. The left clamping piston 411 and the right clamping piston 412 of the clamping cylinder 405 pass through the guide slider 408, and the clamping guide at the root thereof The seat 407 is placed in the guide groove 413 on the guide slider 408, and the left clamping claw 409 and the right clamping claw 410 are respectively installed on the left clamping piston 411 and the right clamping piston 412, and the left clamping tongue 417 and the right clamping tongue 415 are respectively provided at the bottom of the left clamping claw 409 and the right clamping claw 410, and a snap-fit ​​gap 414 is provided between the left clamping tongue 417 and the right clamping tongue 415, and a position limiting block 416 is provided on the side of the root of the right clamping tongue 415, and the front end of the position limiting block 416 corresponds to one side of the side wall of the left clamping tongue 417.

[0043] The buckle grabbing mechanism 4 is connected to the manipulator through the manipulator mounting seat 401. This part includes two cylinders (telescopic cylinder 406 and clamping cylinder 405). The extension or contraction of the telescopic rod 403 of the telescopic cylinder 406 completes the extension and shortening of the entire mechanism to facilitate the position adjustment between the buckle conveying mechanism 6, so as to grab the buckle; the opening and closing of the two clamping pistons (left clamping piston 411 and right clamping piston 412) of the clamping cylinder 405 control the clamping claws (left clamping claw 409 and right clamping claw 410) to complete the clamping of the buckle. The buckle gap 414 for clamping the buckle is generated between the left clamping tongue 417 and the right clamping tongue 415 at the front end of the left clamping claw 409 and the right clamping claw 410. It is required that the buckle can be clamped and not fall off, and the buckle cannot be clamped and deformed by excessive force. Therefore, the buckle gap 414 cannot be too small or too large. The position limiting block 416 is provided to prevent the left clamping tongue 417 and the right clamping tongue 415 from being on the same plane. The position limiting block 416 is a mechanical limiter, one end of which is fixed to the side of the right clamping tongue 415, and the other end of which, when the left clamping tongue 417 and the right clamping tongue 415 are combined, the inner surface of which is just attached to the side of the left clamping tongue 417. The guide groove 413 is a track slide groove similar to a track, and its function is to limit the movement direction of the left clamping piston 411 and the right clamping piston 412 (so that they can only open and close in the direction of the slide groove, and cannot move in any other direction).

[0044] Buckle conveying mechanism 6: The buckle output port of the buckle leveling conveying device 7 is connected to the entrance of the buckle arrangement conveying path 602, and a micro-vibration device 601 is installed under the buckle arrangement conveying path 602, and the micro-vibration device 601 is fixedly mounted on a fixed bracket 606 installed on a workbench 8; a buckle space 603 is reserved between the front end outlet of the buckle arrangement conveying path 602 and the front baffle 607, and correspondingly, there are corresponding buckle holding clamps 609 on the left and right sides of the buckle space 603, and the two buckle holding clamps 609 are respectively mounted on the two holding cylinder piston rods 604, and the holding and separation cylinder 605 is fixedly mounted on the fixed bracket 606, and the two holding cylinder piston rods 604 of the holding and separation cylinder 605 pass through the holding piston rod guide slider 608, and the bottoms of the two holding cylinder piston rods 604 are both in the slide groove of the holding piston rod guide slider 608.

[0045] The buckle conveying mechanism 6 is connected to the buckle flattening conveying device 7, and conveys the buckle to the designated position, so that the robot can control the buckle grabbing mechanism 4 to grab the buckle. The buckles M are arranged in the correct direction and in sequence on the buckle arrangement conveying path 602. A vibration mechanism (micro-vibration device 601) is set below the buckle arrangement conveying path 602 to prevent the buckles on the buckle arrangement conveying path 602 from being skewed due to the friction between them when they move forward one by one, so that each buckle is always placed in the correct arrangement position (from Fig.15 As can be seen in the figure, each buckle M is arranged neatly).

[0046] A space (buckle space 603) that can only hold one buckle is set at the output end of the buckle arrangement conveyor 602. This space is surrounded by four parts (the front baffle 607 at the front end, the buckle at the front end of the buckle arrangement conveyor 602 at the rear end, and the two side clamps of the buckle holding clamp 609 on the left and right, that is, the two clamps are placed on both sides of the buckle) to prevent the buckle from falling. The buckle holding clamp 609 is controlled by the holding and separation cylinder 605 and can be opened and closed. The opening does not need to be too large, as long as the buckle does not scratch the buckle holding clamp 609 after entering the buckle space 603. The working principle of the holding and separation cylinder 605 is the same as that of the clamping cylinder 405.

[0047] The two clamping plates at the top of the buckle holding clamp 609 have notches corresponding to the left clamping tongue 417 and the right clamping tongue 415 at the positions corresponding to the buckles. The width of the notch is slightly larger than the width of the left clamping tongue 417 and the right clamping tongue 415, so that the left clamping tongue 417 and the right clamping tongue 415 can just hold the buckle therein through the notch.
