The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0027] Below, the present invention is further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0028] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a fully automated socket assembly device includes a frame 10, on which are arranged, from right to left, a loading and distributing mechanism 1, a terminal insertion and assembly mechanism 2, a circuit board welding and testing mechanism 3, an O-ring assembly mechanism 4, a conduction testing mechanism 5, and a finished product loading and caching mechanism 6;

[0029] An assembly socket transfer mechanism 7 is provided on one side of the feeding and distributing mechanism 1, the terminal insertion assembly mechanism 2, the circuit board welding and testing mechanism 3, and the O-ring assembly mechanism 4. A rear socket transfer mechanism 8 is provided on one side of the O-ring assembly mechanism 4, the conduction testing mechanism 5, and the finished product loading and caching mechanism 6.

[0030] The finished product loading and caching mechanism 6 includes a finished product tray placement area 61, a loading robot 62 is provided on the front side of the finished product tray placement area 61, a finished product silo 63 is provided on the rear side, and a finished product tray pushing and pulling mechanism 64 is provided below. A plurality of finished product tray silo layers 631 evenly distributed up and down are provided in the finished product silo 63, and a first silo lifting mechanism 65 is provided on one side of the finished product silo 63.

[0031] In this embodiment, the socket transfer mechanism 7 of the assembly section is used to move the socket among the workstations of the loading and distributing mechanism 1, the terminal insertion assembly mechanism 2, the circuit board welding and testing mechanism 3, and the O-ring assembly mechanism 4 through five actions of gripping, rising, lateral movement, descending, and releasing; the socket transfer mechanism 8 of the rear section is used to move the assembled socket among the workstations of the O-ring assembly mechanism 4, the conduction testing mechanism 5, and the finished product loading and caching mechanism 6 through five actions of descending to take materials, retracting, rotating, and extending; the loading robot 62 is used to load the socket that has completed the conduction test onto the finished product tray 30; the multiple finished product tray bin layers 631 are used to store the finished product tray 30; the first bin lifting mechanism 65 is used to drive the finished product bin 63 to rise and fall as a whole; the conduction testing mechanism 5 is used to perform circuit conduction testing and marking on the assembled socket;

[0032] A transfer positioning seat 20 is provided between the conduction detection mechanism 5 and the finished product loading buffer mechanism 6, and the rear socket transfer mechanism 8 transfers the sockets that have completed the conduction detection to the transfer positioning seat 20 for loading.

[0033] The working principle of the finished product loading and caching mechanism 6 is as follows: the sockets to be processed are assembled, processed and tested by the feeding and dividing mechanism 1, the terminal insertion assembly mechanism 2, the circuit board welding and testing mechanism 3, the O-ring assembly mechanism 4 and the conduction detection mechanism 5, and are placed on the transfer positioning seat 20. At the same time, the finished product tray bin layer 631 at the bottom of the finished product bin 63 is in the same plane as the finished product tray placement area 61. The finished product tray push-pull mechanism 64 transfers the empty tray of the finished product tray bin layer 631 to the finished product tray placement area 61, and then the loading robot 62 transfers the finished sockets one by one to the finished product tray 30. The finished product tray 30 is full. Finally, the finished material tray pushing and pulling mechanism 64 first pushes the full finished material tray 30 to the original finished material tray warehouse layer 631, and then the first material warehouse lifting mechanism 65 drives the finished material warehouse 63 to descend. At this time, the finished material warehouse 63 is replaced with the position of an empty material tray, and then the finished material tray pushing and pulling mechanism 64 continues to take out the empty material tray, and then the loading robot 62 repeats the above actions; when only the last empty material tray is left in the finished material warehouse 63 (that is, the top finished material tray warehouse layer 631 and the finished material tray placement area 61 are in the same plane), the full warehouse signal light lights up, prompting the tray to be changed; thereby realizing the automation of the discharging, loading and caching of the finished product sockets.

[0034] Further, such as Figure 1 、 2As shown in Figure 3, the loading and dividing mechanism 1 includes a socket material tray placement area 11, a socket material picking robot 12 is arranged on the front side of the socket material tray placement area 11, a socket material bin 13 is arranged on the rear side, and a socket material tray pushing and pulling mechanism 14 is arranged at the bottom. A plurality of socket material tray bin layers 131 evenly distributed up and down are arranged in the socket material bin 13, and a second bin lifting mechanism 15 is arranged on one side of the socket material tray bin layer 131.

[0035] In this embodiment, the socket material tray bin layer 131 of the socket material bin 13 stores unprocessed sockets, the socket material tray pushing and pulling mechanism 14 is used to push and pull the socket material tray between the socket material bin 13 and the socket material tray placement area 11, and the socket material picking robot 12 is used to clamp the sockets on the socket material tray one by one to the terminal insertion assembly mechanism 2; the second material bin lifting mechanism 15 is used to drive the socket material bin 13 to rise and fall as a whole.

[0036] Further, such as Figure 1 、 2 As shown in Figure 3, the frame 10 is provided with a terminal insertion station 40 at the terminal insertion assembly mechanism 2. The terminal insertion assembly mechanism 2 includes a positioning cylinder 21, a pressing cylinder 22, a dividing cylinder 23 and a stitch detection cylinder 24. The positioning cylinder 21 and the dividing cylinder 23 are respectively located above and below the terminal insertion station 40, and the stitch detection cylinder 24 is located on one side of the terminal insertion station 40.

[0037] Further, such as Figure 1 、 2 As shown in Figures 3 and 4, a first vibration arranger 25 and a first linear vibration mechanism 26 are provided behind the terminal insertion station 40. One end of the first linear vibration mechanism 26 is connected to the first linear vibration mechanism 26, and the other end is located above the material distribution cylinder 23.

[0038] In this embodiment, the terminals pass through the first vibration arranger 25 and convey two rows of terminals to the position of the dividing cylinder 23 of the first linear vibration mechanism 26. Then, after the terminal sensor detects that the terminals are in place, the dividing cylinder 23 is actuated, rising to separate one terminal on the left and one terminal on the right. Then, after rising into place, the pressing cylinder 22 is pushed forward to press the terminals into the socket. After that, the pin detection cylinder 24 is actuated to detect the verticality of the pins (the verticality is detected by the pressure of the cylinder to detect the tightness of the pins), thereby completing the automatic pressing and detection action process of the terminals.

[0039] Further, such as Figure 1 、 2 As shown in Figures 3 and 6, the circuit board welding and detection mechanism 3 is provided with multiple components, including a welding gun 31 and a three-axis driving mechanism 32 for driving the welding gun 31 to move forward and backward, up and down, and left and right, as well as a contour measurement sensor 33 for detecting welding quality.

[0040] In this embodiment, two circuit board welding mechanisms are provided to solder different positions of the socket after the terminal is installed, so that the terminal is connected to the circuit board, and the welding quality is detected by the contour measurement sensor 33, thereby realizing automatic completion of welding and detection.

[0041] In this embodiment, the assembly section socket transfer mechanism 7 transfers the welded socket to the contour measurement sensor 33 for welding quality inspection. The detection principle is to use a 2D contour measuring instrument to measure the contour data of a certain cross-section of the socket, and then use a mechanical mechanism to move the measuring instrument to continue measuring the next cross-section; the 3D contour composed of multiple 2D contour data is compared with the standard part contour to determine whether the weld is full and wet to detect the welding quality.

[0042] Further, such as Figure 1 、 2 As shown in , 3, and 5, the frame 10 is provided with an O-ring installation station 50 at the O-ring assembly mechanism 4, and a first adapter 60 and a second adapter 70 are sequentially provided behind the O-ring installation station 50;

[0043] The O-ring assembly mechanism 4 includes a second vibrating plate 41, an O-ring vibrating arranger 42, an O-ring pushing mechanism 43, an O-ring removal and transfer mechanism 44, an O-ring pushing transition mechanism 45, and an O-ring transfer and installation mechanism 46. One end of the O-ring vibrating arranger 42 is connected to the second vibrating plate 41, and the other end is arranged on the side of the first adapter 60. The O-ring pushing mechanism 43 is located on the side of the first adapter 60.

[0044] The O-ring removal and transfer mechanism 44 is located on one side of the first adapter 60 and the second adapter 70; the O-ring transfer and installation mechanism 46 is displaced to one side of the second adapter 70 and the O-ring installation station 50; the O-ring pushing transition mechanism 45 is set below the second adapter 70.

[0045] In this embodiment, the O-ring is first discharged from the arrangement machine through the second vibrating disk 41 and reaches the tail of the O-ring vibrating arranger 42. When the sensor (not marked in the figure) detects the O-ring, the O-ring pushing mechanism 43 is actuated to push an O-ring onto the first adapter 60; then the O-ring transferring mechanism 4444 transfers the O-ring on the first adapter 60 to the second adapter 70 through up and down, left and right movements; then the O-ring pushing transition mechanism 45 pushes it onto the second adapter 70. At the same time, the O-ring transferring and pushing mechanism 46 transfers the O-ring located on the second adapter 70 to the O-ring installation station 50 after rotating back and forth, up and down, and installs the O-ring on the socket, thereby realizing automatic installation of the O-ring on the socket.

[0046] Working principle of the device:

[0047] Step 1 (socket material division and loading): First, manually place the socket material tray filled with sockets and store it in the socket material tray warehouse layer 131 of the socket material warehouse 13. The second material warehouse lifting mechanism 15 makes the bottom socket material tray warehouse layer 131 parallel to the socket material tray placement area 11. Then the socket material tray pushing and pulling mechanism 14 pulls the socket material tray to the socket material tray placement area 11, and then the socket material picking robot 12 clamps the sockets on the socket material tray one by one to the terminal insertion assembly mechanism 2.

[0048] Step 2 (terminal insertion assembly): Then the assembly section socket transfer mechanism 7 transfers the socket to the terminal insertion assembly mechanism 2 for socket terminal assembly and press-in. After the terminal is pressed, the pins are tested.

[0049] Step 3 (circuit board welding and testing): The socket transfer mechanism 7 in the assembly section transfers the socket with the circuit board to the circuit board welding mechanism for soldering to connect the terminal to the circuit board, and performs welding quality testing.

[0050] Step 4 (O-ring installation): The assembly section socket transfer mechanism 7 then transfers the socket that has completed the welding quality inspection to the O-ring assembly mechanism 4 for O-ring installation.

[0051] Step 6 (finished product discharge, tray loading and buffering): Then the rear socket transfer mechanism 8 transfers the socket with the O-ring installed to the transfer positioning seat 20. At the same time, the finished product tray bin layer 631 at the bottom of the finished product bin 63 is in the same plane as the finished product tray placement area 61. The finished product tray push-pull mechanism 64 transfers the empty tray of the finished product tray bin layer 631 to the finished product tray placement area 61. Then the tray loading robot 62 transfers the finished sockets one by one to the finished product tray 30. After the finished product tray 30 is full, the finished product tray push-pull mechanism 64 is pressed. The mechanism 64 first pushes the filled finished material tray 30 to the original finished material tray bin layer 631, and then the first material bin lifting mechanism 65 drives the finished material bin 63 to descend. At this time, the finished material bin 63 is replaced with the position of an empty material tray, and then the finished material tray pushing and pulling mechanism 64 continues to take out the empty material tray, and then the tray loading robot 62 repeats the above actions; when only the last empty material tray is left in the finished material bin 63 (that is, the top finished material tray bin layer 631 and the finished material tray placement area 61 are in the same plane), the full bin signal light lights up, prompting a tray change.

[0052] The above steps are repeated in sequence to realize the fully automated assembly of the socket.

[0053] For those skilled in the art, various other corresponding changes and deformations can be made based on the technical solutions and concepts described above, and all of these changes and deformations should fall within the scope of protection of the claims of this utility model patent.
