[0022] The following will be combined with the appendix of this utility model Figure 1-3 , clearly and completely describes the technical solutions in multiple embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] A wiper strip switching and feeding mechanism includes at least one group of strip loading components 1. In this embodiment, there are two groups of strip loading components 1, which are installed side by side front and back. The two groups can be switched and used independently, and the two groups advance and retreat at the same time to achieve uninterrupted preparation and feeding.

[0024] The loading tray 11 is provided with a plurality of receiving grooves 12 arranged in parallel at even intervals, and multiple rubber strips can be installed at one time. The receiving grooves 12 are T-shaped structures, which are suitable for installing rubber strips. Two dividing grooves 6 are provided on the loading tray 11 in a direction perpendicular to the receiving grooves 12. The loading tray 11 is installed on the slide of the first servo linear module 5 so that the loading tray 11 can move back and forth.

[0025] In this embodiment, the rubber strip conveying assembly 2 can move on one side above the loading tray 11, and it includes a driver 3 and a lifting clamp 4. The driver 3 drives the lifting clamp 4 to move back and forth, and the lifting clamp 4 moves up and down and clamps the end cover on the loading tray 11.

[0026] Specifically, the driver 3 adopts a second servo linear module 31, and the lifting clamp 4 includes a lifting cylinder 41 and a lifting clamp 4. The lifting cylinder 41 is installed on the slide of the second servo linear module 31, and a lifting frame 42 is installed on the lifting cylinder 41. The lifting frame 42 is installed on the clamping cylinder 43. The clamping cylinder 43 is used to grasp the rubber strip. A proximity sensor is provided on the clamping cylinder 43 to facilitate sensing the contact with the rubber strip.

[0027] In actual operation, after the rubber strips on one loading tray 11 are assembled, the other loading tray 11 is switched for use. Both are driven and switched by the corresponding first servo linear module 5. The second servo linear module 31 drives the installation lifting cylinder 41 to move above the corresponding rubber strip. The lifting cylinder 41 then drives the clamping cylinder 43 to descend, clamping the rubber strip. The lifting cylinder 41 further drives the clamping cylinder 43 to rise. The second servo linear module 31 then drives the rubber strip to one side, installing the rubber strip in the wiper cover, completing the assembly. The above steps can be repeated, achieving fully automated operation, reducing labor costs and achieving high efficiency.
