[0048] In some embodiments (such as Figure 3As shown in the figure, a feeding runner 21 is connected to a feeding vibrating disk on the main body. The products are arranged and fed onto the feeding runner 21 of the main body through the vibrating disk. A side-shifting assembly is provided at the end of the feeding runner 21 of the main body, including a main body limiting plate 211 and a side-pushing air cylinder 212. A retaining bar is further provided on the side of the main body limiting plate 211. The retaining bar is fixedly arranged. A limiting hole for the retaining bar to pass through is provided on the side of the main body limiting plate 211. A limiting groove is provided on the main body limiting plate 211. When the side-pushing air cylinder 212 extends, the limiting groove is butted against the feeding runner 21 of the main body. At this time, the retaining bar extends into the limiting groove to limit the position of the product main body 13. When the side-pushing air cylinder 212 retracts, the limiting groove is butted against the fixed seat 11. At this time, the retaining bar withdraws from the side of the limiting groove. The setting of the side-shifting assembly is used to drive the product main body 13 from the feeding runner 21 of the main body to the feeding assembly 22, and the feeding assembly 22 performs feeding. The limiting groove plays a limiting role, which can ensure the feeding accuracy and improve the feeding efficiency.

The horizontal air cylinder is installed on a back plate. When it extends, it drives the seal ring picking member 321 to move horizontally to the upper side of the seal ring installation mechanism 33. The vertical air cylinder extends, and the seal ring picking member 321 descends to place the seal ring 14 on the installation block 331, realizing the automatic feeding of the seal ring 14.

[0051] Further, the seal ring installation mechanism 33 includes: a mounting block 331, a seal ring assembly cylinder 332, and a moving plate 333. The seal ring assembly cylinder 332 is disposed on the moving plate 333. The mounting block 331 is disposed at the extending end of the seal ring assembly cylinder 332. The mounting block 331 is arranged upward. A limiting block 334 is disposed at the end of the mounting block 331. The mounting block 331 and the limiting block 334 cooperate to hold the seal ring 14. A cylinder is also disposed on the side of the moving plate 333. The moving plate 333 is pushed by the cylinder to move to the lower side of the fixed seat 11. The mounting block 331 moves upward to install the seal ring 14 into the product body 13, realizing the automatic installation of the seal ring 14. The setting of the limiting block 334 can limit the position of the seal ring 14 and ensure that the seal ring 14 is installed in place.

[0052] Further, the lower end of the limiting block 334 extends into the mounting block 331, and a connecting rod 335 is connected to the bottom. A spring is sleeved on the connecting rod 335. The limiting block 334 moves up and down along the connecting rod 335. A limiting convex block 336 is also disposed on the side of the limiting block 334. A vertically arranged strip-shaped groove 337 is disposed on the side of the mounting block 331. The strip-shaped groove 337 accommodates the up and down movement of the limiting block 334. The strip-shaped groove 337 and the limiting convex block 336 cooperate to limit the position of the limiting block 334. The limiting block 334 is floatingly arranged. When installing the seal ring 14, the limiting block 334 floats downward to ensure that the seal ring 14 is installed in place. After the installation is completed and withdrawn, the limiting block 334 rises to continue feeding the seal ring 14, playing a positioning role.

[0053] In some embodiments (as Figure 7 shown), the retainer loading mechanism 42 includes: a fixed block 421, a pressing block 422, and a blocking block 423. A horizontal guide rail 424 is connected to the lower side of the fixed block 421. The fixed block 421 is driven to move horizontally by a cylinder. A receiving groove for accommodating the retainer 15 is provided on the upper surface. The receiving groove is docked with the retainer feeding channel 41 of the retainer 15. The pressing block 422 is disposed on the surface of the fixed block 421 to receive the retainer 15 transported from the retainer feeding channel 41. The blocking block 423 passes through the pressing block 422 and extends into the receiving groove to limit the position of the retainer 15. A lifting cylinder 425 is connected to the upper side of the blocking block 423.

[0054] The retainer loading mechanism 42 further includes a mounting member 426 and a moving guide rail 427. The mounting member 426 is disposed on the side of the horizontal guide rail 424 and is connected with a mounting cylinder to move along the moving guide rail 427.

[0055] After the fixed block 421 receives the retainer 15, it moves horizontally to reach the retainer assembly mechanism. At this time, the blocking block 423 rises, and the receiving groove is aligned with the product fixed on the fixed seat 11. The mounting member 426 moves along the guide rail to push the product along the receiving groove to the product on the fixed seat 11 for installation, completing the automatic installation of the retainer 15. The structure is simple and the installation is fast.

[0056] In some embodiments, the detection component 51 includes a side detection camera 511, a bottom detection camera 512, and a fill light 513. The side detection camera 511 is disposed on the side of the rotating platform 1, and the bottom detection camera 512 is disposed on the lower side of the rotating platform 1. The side detection camera 511 and the bottom detection camera 512 take pictures and upload them to the control system. Whether it is a good product is compared through the control system. At the same time, the pictures taken are also displayed on the display controller for easy viewing at any time. The automatic detection of products is realized, eliminating the need for manual detection and ensuring product quality.

[0057] In some embodiments, the blanking component 52 includes a blanking head 521, a good product receiving box 522, and a defective product receiving box 523. A fixed circular plate 12 is disposed on the upper side of the rotating platform 1. The fixed original plate does not rotate with the rotating platform 1. The blanking head 521 is installed on the fixed circular plate 12 through a toggling component. The good product receiving box 522 and the defective product receiving box 523 are disposed on the side of the rotating platform 1. The toggling component is a support plate and a cylinder. When the cylinder extends, the blanking head 521 classifies and blanks the products on the fixed seat 11 into the good product receiving box 522 or the defective product receiving box 523.

[0058] During the working process, the product body 13, the sealing ring 14, and the retaining member 15 are respectively loaded through three vibrating bowls. After the product body 13 is loaded, it is pushed by the pushing component 22 to be fixed on the fixed seat 11. The rotating table rotates to reach the sealing ring installation device 3. The sealing ring 14 is picked up by the sealing ring picking member 321 and placed on the installation block 331. The installation block 331 moves to the lower side of the fixed seat 11 and moves upward to complete the installation of the sealing ring 14. Then the rotating table continues to rotate to reach the retaining member installation device 4, and the retaining member loading mechanism 42 loads the retaining member 15. Then, it is detected by the detection component 51 and automatically blanked into the good product receiving box 522 and the defective product receiving box 523, completing automatic assembly, automatic detection, and automatic blanking, without the need for manual participation, improving the assembly efficiency and ensuring product quality.
