[0075] A first motor 31 is also provided below the turntable 3 to drive the turntable 3 to rotate.

[0076] The principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0077] 1. Material preparation

[0078] The diodes are automatically supplied by the diode feeding assembly 1 and their positions are identified by the camera vision inspection assembly 13. The inspection system consists of an inspection camera 16 mounted on the moving mechanism, which can accurately locate the diodes to facilitate subsequent gripping operations.

[0079] 2. First station 7: Diode placement

[0080] Based on information provided by the vision inspection system, the loading robot 2 accurately removes the diode from the loading assembly and places it into the fixture 12 on the first station 7 of the turntable 3. The fixture 12 ensures the stable fixation of the diode during the processing.

[0081] 3. Second workstation 8: Copper pipe installation

[0082] Turntable 3 rotates, moving the first station 7 with the diode to the second station 8. At this time, after the copper tube vibratory plate 11 in the copper tube feeding assembly 5 adjusts the posture of the copper tube, the feeding robot 2 moves again to accurately install the copper tube onto the diode.

[0083] 4. Third station 9: Pressing connection

[0084] As turntable 3 continues to rotate, the workpiece containing the diode and copper tube reaches the third station 9. Here, the clamping assembly 4 begins to operate. The clamping assembly 4 includes upper and lower cylinders, a mounting plate 19, and a push rod 20. Through the movement of the upper and lower cylinders, the mounting plate 19 drives the push rod 20 to clamp the copper tube and diode, completing the electrical connection. The slide rail slider structure ensures the smoothness and precision of the clamping process.

[0085] 5. Fourth workstation 10: Material unloading

[0086] Finally, turntable 3 brings the assembled components to the fourth station 10. The unloading assembly 6 is responsible for removing the finished product. The unloading assembly 6 includes an unloading motor 25, a swing arm 26, multiple cylinders, and grippers 29. The grippers 29, under the action of the cylinders, grasp the finished product, and the unloading motor 25 drives the swing arm 26 to swing left and right, coordinating with the up and down movement of the cylinders to safely place the finished product into the receiving tray 30.

[0087] 6. Repeated cycle

[0088] The entire process is a cycle. When one cycle ends, turntable 3 will rotate again, returning to its initial state, and begin a new assembly cycle. The first motor 31 below turntable 3 is responsible for driving turntable 3 to rotate in an orderly manner according to predetermined steps.

[0089] In summary, this diode assembly machine achieves automated assembly of diodes and copper tubes through the coordinated operation of its various functional modules. Its working principle embodies the characteristics of high efficiency, precision, and automation, making it suitable for applications requiring mass production and high precision.
