[0029] The specific implementation methods of the utility model are further explained in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings through the description of embodiments, with the aim of helping technicians in the field to have a more complete, accurate and in-depth understanding of the concept and technical solution of the utility model and facilitating its implementation.

[0030] Embodiment 1:

[0031] Specifically, Figures 1 to 8 As shown, an aviation connector automatic assembly device comprises an assembly device 1 and a plug feeding device 2 and a socket feeding device 3 respectively arranged on both sides of the assembly device 1;

[0032] The assembling device 1 includes a workbench 11 , a collecting bin 12 installed in the middle of the workbench 11 , a bracket 13 installed in the collecting bin 12 , and a control component 14 installed below the bracket 13 .

[0033] It should be noted that, in actual operation, the plug is grabbed by the plug loading device 2 and transferred to the assembly device 1, and the socket is grabbed by the socket loading device 3 and transferred to the assembly device 1, and the plug must be located below the socket, and then the two are combined together by the assembly device. After completion, the loaded plug is removed first. At this time, the plug has been connected to the socket and is installed on the socket loading device 3 with the socket, and then the socket is released by the control component 14, so that the assembled connector falls into the collection bin 12 below, thereby completing the automatic assembly of the connector.

[0034] The control assembly 14 includes a symmetrically arranged electric telescopic rod 141, an upper plate 142 installed below the electric telescopic rod 141, a lower plate 144 connected by an elastic column 143, a plurality of groups of fixing sleeves 145 installed at the bottom of the lower plate 144, a pillar 146 installed on the lower plate 144 and located in front of the fixing sleeve 145, and a plurality of groups of pressing rods 147 installed at the bottom of the upper plate 142 and passing through the lower plate 144.

[0035] The number of the fixing sleeves 145 and the number of the posts 146 are corresponding. A notch is provided at the bottom of the fixing sleeve 145 and the notch is arranged in a trapezoidal shape. The bottoms of the fixing sleeve 145, the posts 146 and the pressing rod 147 are all arranged in an arc shape.

[0036] It should be noted that when the plug and the socket are moved to the corresponding positions, the electric telescopic rod 141 is started to drive the upper plate 142 and the lower plate 144 to move downward in sequence. During the movement, the pillar 146 will first contact the socket below, causing the loading frame of the socket to rotate, that is, the socket in the lying state is rotated to the vertical state, so as to connect with the plug below, and then continue to descend, the fixing sleeve 145 will contact the top of the vertical socket, and the bottom of the fixing sleeve 145 is arc-shaped and the notch is trapezoidal, ensuring that the vertical socket can smoothly enter the fixing sleeve 145 even if there is a certain angle deviation, and when continuing to descend, the socket is fixed and reaches a 90° state, and then connected with the plug below;

[0037] After the connection is completed, the bearing assembly 22 will be withdrawn. At this time, the electric telescopic rod 141 continues to be lowered, but the fixing sleeve 145 has been blocked by the socket and cannot be lowered, that is, the lower plate 144 will not continue to descend. At this time, since the lower plate 144 and the upper plate 142 are connected by the elastic column 143, continuing to press down the elastic column 143 will squeeze and shorten it, causing the pressing rod 147 under the upper plate 142 to descend, pass through the lower plate 144, and press the bump on the bearing assembly b32 below, thereby releasing the fixation of the socket, loosening the assembled connector, and dropping it into the collection bin 12 below.

[0038] The plug loading device 2 includes a plug transport component 21 and a plug bearing component 22 installed below the plug transport component 21 .

[0039] The plug transport assembly 21 includes a transport unit a211, a slide plate a212 disposed on the transport unit a211, a support frame a213 mounted on the slide plate a212, a hydraulic cylinder a214 mounted on the top front side of the support frame a213, and a connecting rod a215 connected to the telescopic rod of the hydraulic cylinder a214;

[0040] A forward thrust cylinder a216 is also provided on the top of the support frame a213. The forward thrust cylinder a216 is connected to the hydraulic cylinder a214 through a gas rod, and the hydraulic cylinder a214 is slidably connected to the support frame a213.

[0041] It should be noted that the plugs are first collected through the plug carrying assembly 22, and then transported to the assembly device 1 through the plug transport assembly 21, and when it is necessary to move to the front side, the forward push cylinder a216 is started, and the hydraulic cylinder a214 is driven by the gas rod to move, and when it is necessary to move downward or upward, the hydraulic cylinder a214 is started to drive the plug carrying assembly 22 below to adjust the height.

[0042] The socket loading device 3 includes a socket transport component 31 and a bearing component b32 installed below the socket transport component 31 .

[0043] The socket transport assembly 31 includes a transport unit b311, a slide plate b312 disposed on the transport unit b311, a support frame b313 mounted on the slide plate b312, a hydraulic cylinder b314 mounted on the top front side of the support frame b313, and a connecting rod b315 connected to the telescopic rod of the hydraulic cylinder b314;

[0044] A forward thrust cylinder b316 is also provided on the top of the support frame b313. The forward thrust cylinder 316 is connected to the hydraulic cylinder b314 through a gas rod, and the hydraulic cylinder b314 is slidably connected to the support frame b313.

[0045] It should be noted that the sockets are first collected through the socket carrying assembly 33, and then transported to the assembly device 1 through the socket transport assembly 31, and when it is necessary to move to the front side, the forward push cylinder a316 is started, and the hydraulic cylinder a314 is driven by the gas rod to move, and when it is necessary to move downward and upward, the hydraulic cylinder a314 is started to drive the socket carrying assembly 32 below to adjust the height.

[0046] The specific working principle is as follows:

[0047] When the plug and the socket are moved to the corresponding positions, the electric telescopic rod 141 is started to drive the upper plate 142 and the lower plate 144 to move downward in sequence. During the movement, the pillar 146 will first contact the socket below, so that the loading frame of the socket is rotated, that is, the socket in the lying state is rotated to the vertical state, so as to connect with the plug below, and then continue to descend, and the fixing sleeve 145 will contact the top of the vertical socket, and the bottom of the fixing sleeve 145 is arc-shaped and the notch is set in a trapezoidal shape, so as to ensure that the vertical socket can smoothly enter the fixing sleeve 145 even if there is a certain angle deviation, and when continuing to descend, the socket is fixed and reaches a 90° state, and then connected with the plug below;

[0048] After the connection is completed, the plug bearing assembly 22 will be withdrawn. At this time, the electric telescopic rod 141 will continue to be lowered, but the fixing sleeve 145 has been blocked by the socket and cannot be lowered, that is, the lower plate 144 will not continue to descend. At this time, since the lower plate 144 and the upper plate 142 are connected by the elastic column 143, continuing to press down the elastic column 143 will squeeze and shorten it, causing the pressing rod 147 under the upper plate 142 to descend, pass through the lower plate 144, and press the protrusion on the bearing assembly b32 below, thereby releasing the fixation of the socket, loosening the assembled connector, and dropping it into the collection bin 12 below.

[0049] Embodiment 2:

[0050] The plug bearing assembly includes a bearing plate slidably connected to the bottom of the connecting rod, a plurality of bearing grooves arranged on the bearing plate, and a guide rod connected to the rear end of the bearing plate through a connecting shaft;

[0051] A guide plate matched with the guide rod is installed at the rear side of the inner part of the material storage box.

[0052] It should be noted that a sliding groove for the connecting rod to slide is provided on the bearing plate. The bearing groove is divided into three parts, and the plug includes a smooth part, a hexagonal part, a threaded part and a wire head. The bearing groove corresponds to the hexagonal part, the threaded part and the wire head of the plug, wherein the diameter of the smooth part is larger than the wire head and smaller than the hexagonal part. Therefore, in actual load-bearing, two states may occur, the threaded part enters the bearing groove downward, or the smooth part falls into the bearing groove downward. If it is the first case, it is loaded normally, and if it is the second case, only the front end of the smooth part can be in the hexagonal groove at the top of the bearing groove, and most of it remains outside. Therefore, it is pushed away from the bearing plate in the subsequent work of pushing the assembly to ensure that each bearing groove retains a plug in the correct state to facilitate subsequent assembly.

[0053] Embodiment 3:

[0054] The socket bearing assembly 32 includes a bearing plate connected to the driving assembly, and a plurality of through slots are arranged on the bearing plate, and a loading frame is rotatably connected to each through slot via two groups of symmetrically arranged rotating shafts;

[0055] A clamping assembly is arranged between every two groups of through slots.

[0056] It should be noted that the sockets are stored in a material storage box. When materials need to be retrieved, the conveying equipment is first used to drive the drive assembly and other components to move to the top of the material storage box, and then the drive assembly is started to lower the carrying assembly into the material storage box. During the descent of the carrying assembly, the loading assembly will be driven to work, thereby transferring the sockets to the carrying assembly. Then the drive assembly is started again to raise the carrying assembly to complete the socket retrieval work. During the rising process of the carrying assembly, the sockets that are not fixed on the carrying assembly are pushed away from the carrying assembly by the pushing assembly and fall back into the material storage box. During the pushing process, the pushing assembly will drive the clamping assembly to work, fix the sockets in the loading frame, and after rising to a certain height, the conveying equipment is started to transfer the sockets.

[0057] The clamping assembly includes a telescopic inner rod installed inside the bearing plate, a telescopic outer rod sleeved on the outside of the telescopic inner rod, elastic rods fixed on both sides of the telescopic outer rod, a protrusion installed on the top of the telescopic outer rod, and a reset spring sleeved on the telescopic inner rod.

[0058] It should be noted that when the push plate moves to one side, it squeezes the convex block to move downward, thereby driving the telescopic outer rod to descend, so that the elastic rods on both sides of the rod descend into the holes corresponding to the rotating shaft. At this time, the elastic rods are no longer restricted and extend toward the rotating shaft, squeezing the corresponding rotating shaft inward, thereby fixing the socket in the loading frame;

[0059] In addition, the descent of the telescopic outer rod will squeeze the return spring sleeved on the outside of the telescopic inner rod. Therefore, when fixation is no longer needed, just continue to press the bump downward to make the elastic rod slowly disengage from the hole corresponding to the rotating shaft, and then return to the original squeezed state. Because the return spring generates an upward elastic force due to the squeezing, it will quickly bounce upward after releasing the bump. During this process, the elastic rod has no time to expand its elasticity, so the entire clamping assembly will return to its initial state.

[0060] The clamping assembly includes a telescopic inner rod installed inside the bearing plate, a telescopic outer rod sleeved on the outside of the telescopic inner rod, elastic rods fixed on both sides of the telescopic outer rod, a protrusion installed on the top of the telescopic outer rod, and a reset spring sleeved on the telescopic inner rod.

[0061] It should be noted that when the push plate moves to one side, it squeezes the convex block to move downward, thereby driving the telescopic outer rod to descend, so that the elastic rods on both sides of the rod descend into the holes corresponding to the rotating shaft. At this time, the elastic rods are no longer restricted and extend toward the rotating shaft, squeezing the corresponding rotating shaft inward, thereby fixing the socket in the loading frame;

[0062] In addition, the descent of the telescopic outer rod will squeeze the return spring sleeved on the outside of the telescopic inner rod. Therefore, when fixation is no longer needed, just continue to press the bump downward to make the elastic rod slowly disengage from the hole corresponding to the rotating shaft, and then return to the original squeezed state. Because the return spring generates an upward elastic force due to the squeezing, it will quickly bounce upward after releasing the bump. During this process, the elastic rod has no time to expand its elasticity, so the entire clamping assembly will return to its initial state.

[0063] The above is an exemplary description of the utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the specific implementation of the utility model is not limited to the above-mentioned method. As long as various non-substantial improvements are made using the method concept and technical solution of the utility model; or the above-mentioned concept and technical solution of the utility model are directly applied to other occasions without improvement, they are all within the protection scope of the utility model.
