For example, they may refer to fixed connection, detachable connection, or integration; mechanical connection, electrical connection; direct connection, indirect connection through an intermediate medium; internal communication between two components, or interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the embodiments of the present invention based on specific circumstances.

[0022] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figs. 1-4 As shown, a fully automatic assembly device for a rail joint is provided, comprising a processing table 1 and an assembly portion, a feed end 2 and a discharge end 3 arranged on the top surface of the processing table 1. A turntable is provided in the middle of the processing table 1, and a fixing fixture is provided at the top edge of the turntable. The feed end 2 and the discharge end 3 both comprise a first guide rail 21, a first lifting cylinder 22 and a first clamping claw 23. The top of the first lifting cylinder 22 slides with the first guide rail 21, and the output shaft of the first lifting cylinder 22 is located at the bottom and fixedly installed with the first clamping claw 23. The assembly portion comprises two spring clip insertion mechanisms 4, and the spring clip insertion mechanism 4 comprises a driving portion 41, The second clamping jaw 42 and the guide member 43, the driving part 41 is provided with a support member for achieving installation with the processing table 1, the driving part 41 is used to drive the second clamping jaw 42 to move toward or away from the fixed fixture, the guide member 43 includes a support seat 431, a second lifting cylinder 432 and a positioning member 433, the second lifting cylinder 432 is fixedly installed on the top of the support seat 431, the output shaft of the second lifting cylinder 432 extends upward and is fixedly installed with the positioning member 433, the positioning member 433 is used to cover the top surface of the fixed fixture, and is provided with a positioning hole 434 connected to the inside of the fixed fixture.

[0023] Furthermore, the first clamping jaw 23 includes a lifting seat 231, an opening cylinder 232, and two clamping jaws 233. The lifting seat 231 is connected to the output shaft of the first lifting cylinder 22, and the opening cylinder 232 is used to realize the two clamping jaws 233 to move closer or farther away. Specifically, when in use, the first clamping jaw 23 of the feed end 2 clamps the material, and the first guide rail 21 drives the first clamping jaw 23 to move toward the turntable, so that the first clamping jaw 23 holding the material moves to the top of the fixed fixture. The lifting seat 231 is driven by the first lifting cylinder 22 to move the opening cylinder 232 downward, thereby placing the material in the fixed fixture. Finally, the opening cylinder 232 separates the two clamping jaws 233 from contact and clamps the material, achieving an automatic clamping effect.

[0024] Furthermore, the discharge end 3 also includes a discharge trough 31. The discharge trough 31 is provided with two output ends, and a diverter plate 32 is rotatably connected between the two output ends. A push rod 33 is provided on the bottom surface of the discharge end, and the push rod 33 is rotatably connected to a swing arm 34, and the swing arm 34 is connected to the bottom of the rotating shaft of the diverter plate 32. Specifically, diversion can be performed through the diverter plate 32 in the discharge trough 31. When in use, the first lifting cylinder 22 of the discharge end 3 lowers the first clamping jaw 23 and clamps the finished product on the fixed fixture. After clamping, the first lifting cylinder 22 raises the first clamping jaw 23 and transports the first clamping jaw 23 to the top of the discharge trough 31 through the first guide rail 21. Diversion is performed through the diverter plate 32 in the discharge trough 31. When in use, the push rod 33 pushes the swing arm 34, causing the swing arm 34 to swing along the rotation axis of the diverter plate 32, thereby causing the diverter plate 32 to rotate and swing, achieving a diversion effect.

[0025] Furthermore, the second clamping jaw 42 is provided with a connecting rod 421 and a clamping jaw seat 422. The clamping jaw seat 422 is used to connect the second clamping jaw 42 and the connecting rod 421. The connecting rod 421 is connected to the driving part 41 at one end away from the second clamping jaw 42. The clamping jaw seat 422 is provided with a positioning column 423, and the positioning hole 434 is provided with a positioning groove 424 that is positioned and matched with the positioning column 423. Specifically, the driving part 41 can be in the form of a guide rail, driving the second clamping jaw 42 to move back and forth between the material tray and the fixed fixture. The driving part 41 can also be in the form of rotation and swinging to take and put materials. The driving part 41 includes a motor, and the output shaft of the motor is axially perpendicular to the extension direction of the connecting rod 421 and is connected to the connecting rod 421. When in use, the motor rotates to drive the connecting rod 421 to swing the second clamping jaw 42 to the material tray to clamp the material, and then the motor rotates to drive the connecting rod 421 to swing the second clamping jaw 42 to above the fixed fixture. At this time, the second lifting cylinder 432 has moved the positioning piece 433 downward and covered the top surface of the fixed fixture. At this time, the positioning hole 434 of the fixed fixture corresponds to the spring clip mounting hole in the material, and the positioning column 423 of the clamping jaw seat 422 also corresponds to the positioning groove 424 in the positioning hole 434 to achieve a positioning effect. The driving part 41 is moved downward by the elevator so that the second clamping jaw 42 inserts the spring clip through the positioning hole 434 into the spring clip mounting hole of the material for installation, thereby achieving an automated installation effect.

[0026] Furthermore, a guide post 44 extends downward from the bottom of the positioning member 433, and the fixing fixture is provided with a guide hole 441 that cooperates with the guide post 44. Specifically, the turntable rotates the fixing fixture to below the positioning member 433, at which point the guide post 44 of the positioning member 433 aligns with the guide hole 441 of the fixing fixture. The second lifting cylinder 432 then moves the positioning member 433 downward and covers the top surface of the fixing fixture. At this point, the guide post 44 is inserted into the guide hole 441, achieving the positioning effect.

[0027] Working principle: When in use, the material is fed through the feeding end 2, and the first clamping jaw 23 of the feeding end 2 clamps the material and moves it toward the turntable through the first guide rail 21, and then the material is placed in the fixed fixture through the first lifting cylinder 22. The material is rotated to the assembly part for processing by the rotation of the turntable. During this process, the turntable will drive the material to pass through the two spring insertion mechanisms 4 in sequence. When the material enters the spring insertion mechanism 4, the second clamping jaw 42 clamps the spring, and the second lifting cylinder 432 moves the positioning member 433 downward and covers the top surface of the fixed fixture. At this time, the positioning hole 434 of the fixed fixture corresponds to the spring installation hole in the material. The second clamping jaw 42 is driven by the driving part 41 to transport the spring to the top of the fixed fixture, and the spring is inserted into the spring installation hole of the material through the positioning hole 434 to complete the installation, achieving a good positioning effect, and preventing the material from being pressed and tilted during the insertion of the spring, ensuring the installation quality and avoiding damage to the spring during installation. After the installation is completed, the material is discharged through the discharging end 3 to achieve automatic production effect.

[0028] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
