[0046] The utility model is now described in further detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, which only illustrate the basic structure of the utility model in a schematic manner, so they only show the components related to the utility model, and the directions and references (for example, up, down, left, right, etc.) can only be used to help describe the features in the drawings. Therefore, the following specific embodiments are not adopted in a restrictive sense, and the scope of the subject matter claimed is limited only by the attached claims and their equivalents.

[0047] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a blind plug-in press-fit mechanism based on a radio frequency connector assembly, one end of the connector 10 is plugged into the base 12, and the other end is plugged into the TR assembly 11. During assembly, generally one end of the connector 10 is first plugged into the base 12 to form a combination, and then the TR assembly 11 is plugged into the other end of the connector 10. The blind plug-in press-fit mechanism is used to achieve the plug-in connection between the connector 10 and the TR assembly 11. A pin 1201 is fixed on the top of the base 12, and a positioning pin hole 1101 that matches the pin 1201 is opened at the bottom of the TR assembly 11. The pin 1201 is inserted into the positioning pin hole 1101 to position the TR assembly 11 and the base 12, and at the same time, the TR assembly 11 and the connector 10 can be aligned and plugged in. Fig. 9 and Fig.10 shown.

[0048] The blind insertion press-fitting mechanism comprises a lateral press-fitting assembly, a feeding assembly 3, an upper visual assembly 4 and a lower visual assembly 5;

[0049] The lateral movement and press-fitting assembly comprises a lateral movement unit 1 for carrying a base 12 and a press-fitting unit 2 mounted above the lateral movement unit 1 for pressing down the TR assembly 11 so as to achieve plugging with the connector 10 on the base 12;

[0050] The loading assembly 3 is used to transfer the TR assembly 11 in the material tray 13 to the base 12 of the transverse movement unit 1 and align the positioning pin hole 1101 on the TR assembly 11 with the pin 1201 on the base 12;

[0051] The upper visual component 4 is located on the loading component 3 and is used to identify and locate the pin 1201 on the base 12;

[0052] The lower visual component 5 is located on the motion track of the loading component 3 , and is used to identify and locate the positioning pin hole 1101 at the bottom of the TR component 11 clamped by the loading component 3 .

[0053] During operation, the transverse movement unit 1 first transports the base 12 on it to the pressing position corresponding to the pressing unit 2, and then the loading component 3 grabs the TR component 11 in the material tray 13 and transfers it. During the transfer process, the lower visual component 5 located on its transfer trajectory identifies and locates the position of the positioning pin hole 1101 on the TR component 11 and scans the code to bind it, and then the upper visual component 4 identifies and locates the pin 1201 on the base 12. After positioning is completed, the loading component 3 places the grabbed TR component 11 to the corresponding position on the base 12, and the pressing unit 2 presses the TR component 11. After reaching a certain pressure, the loading component 3 releases the TR component 11, and then the pressing unit 2 continues to press the TR component 11 until the pressing is completed.

[0054] In some examples, the blind insertion pressing mechanism also includes a conveyor line assembly 6 for conveying the base 12 and a transport assembly 7 for transferring the base 12 on the conveyor line assembly 6 to the transverse movement unit 1.

After the suction cup adsorbs the TR component 11, the six-axis manipulator 301 transfers the adsorbed TR component 11 to the transverse movement unit 1;

[0056] The limiting member includes a longitudinal limiting block 304 disposed on the top of the support plate 302 for limiting the longitudinal position of the TR assembly 11, and a transverse limiting block 305 located between the support plate 302 and the TR assembly 11 for limiting the transverse position of the TR assembly 11; there are a plurality of transverse limiting blocks 305, which are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the support plate 302 and supported between the support plate 302 and the TR assembly 11. Under the continuous negative pressure of the suction nozzle 303, the TR assembly 11 gradually approaches the support plate 302 until it abuts against the transverse limiting block 305, thereby limiting the transverse position of the TR assembly 11; there are also a plurality of longitudinal limiting blocks 304, which are distributed side by side, and the longitudinal limiting blocks 304 are fixedly connected to the transverse limiting blocks 305 located below them, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown.

[0057] In some examples, the blind-insertion pressing mechanism also includes a lifting component 8 for lifting the base 12 on the conveyor line assembly 6 to disengage it from the conveyor line assembly 6 for grasping by the transport component 7, thereby preventing the base 12 from being displaced along with the conveyor line assembly 6 during the grasping process of the transport component 7, resulting in grasping failure.

[0058] In some examples, the lifting assembly 8 includes a lifting drive mechanism 801 and a lifting frame 802 connected to the output end of the lifting drive mechanism 801 and used to lift the base 12, the lifting frame 802 is provided with at least two latches 803, the bottom of the base 12 is provided with a first tooling disk 9, the first tooling disk 9 is provided with at least two sockets, and the latches 803 correspond to the sockets one by one; when the base 12 on the conveyor line assembly 6 is transported to the position of the lifting assembly 8, the lifting drive mechanism 801 drives the lifting frame 802 to lift, the latches 803 on the lifting frame 802 are inserted into the sockets on the first tooling disk 9 for positioning, and then the first tooling disk 9 is lifted to separate it from the conveyor line assembly 6 for the handling assembly 7 to grab, such as Figure 8 shown.

[0059] In some examples, limiting plates 601 for limiting the lifting height of the lifting frame 802 are provided on both sides of the conveyor line assembly 6 .

[0060] In some examples, the transport assembly 7 includes a Y-axis drive mechanism 701, a Z-axis drive mechanism 702 connected to the output end of the Y-axis drive mechanism 701, and a clamp 703 connected to the output end of the Z-axis drive mechanism 702 and used to grab the base 12 on the conveyor line assembly 6, and the clamp 703 includes two fingers that can move closer or farther away from each other, such as Figure 7 shown.

[0061] In some examples, the lateral movement unit 1 includes an X-axis driving mechanism 101, a second tooling disc 102 connected to the output end of the X-axis driving mechanism 101 and used to support the base 12, an X-axis slide rail 103 supported at the bottom of the second tooling disc 102, and an X-axis slider 104 installed at the bottom of the second tooling disc 102 and cooperating with the X-axis slide rail 103; after the handling component 7 transfers the base 12 grabbed from the conveyor line component 6 to the second tooling disc 102, the X-axis driving mechanism 101 is started to drive the second tooling disc 102 and the base 12 thereon to move along the X-axis direction to the pressing position, the X-axis slide rail 103 and the X-axis slider 104 can guide the movement of the base 12 on the one hand, and support the base 12 on the other hand to avoid the instability of the base 12 during the pressing process of the pressing unit 2, such as Figure 3 shown.

[0062] In some examples, the press unit 2 includes a bracket 201, a press 202 mounted on the bracket 201, and a pressing plate 203 connected to the output end of the press 202, guide rods 204 are fixed at both ends of the pressing plate 203, a through hole for the guide rod 204 to pass through is opened on the bracket 201, and a linear bearing is installed between the through hole and the guide rod 204, such as Figure 4 shown.
