Specifically, soft cover assembly device includes base 9, sets up on the clamping mechanism and sleeve assembly of base 9. Clamping mechanism includes stand 11, clamping jaw unit and linear motor, and the movable end 13 of linear motor is connected, and clamping jaw unit includes the clamping jaw motor being connected with stand 11, clamping cylinder and two clamping blocks 12 being respectively arranged in the two clamping ends of clamping cylinder, and the clamping jaw motor is electrically connected with clamping cylinder and controls the opening and closing of the two clamping ends of clamping cylinder, that is, controls the distance between two clamping blocks. Sleeve assembly includes support 21 being arranged on the base, rotating part 22 and multiple sleeves 23, and one end of multiple sleeves is arranged in rotating part 22, and rotating part 22 is rotatably connected with support 21, for example, the rotating shaft of rotating part 22 is rotatably connected with support 21 through bearing, and the rotation of rotating part drives multiple sleeves to be in different positions, for example Figure 1 In the embodiment, sleeve assembly includes two sleeves, respectively sleeve 23a and sleeve 23b, and the position at sleeve 23a is the position of assembling soft cover, and the position at sleeve 23b is the position of using the assembled soft cover. When assembling a soft cover on sleeve 23a, rotating rotating part 22 turns sleeve 23a to the position of sleeve 23b, at this time, the soft cover on sleeve 23a is in the state of being taken, and sleeve 23b is in the state of assembling soft cover, and after assembling a soft cover on sleeve 23b, rotating rotating part 22 again, and the process is repeated.
[0032] In some embodiments, soft cover assembly device further includes rotating driving part 24, and rotating driving part 24 can be fixed to support 21, and the output shaft of rotating driving part 24 is connected with the rotating shaft of rotating part 22. Rotating driving part 24 can be servo motor, and the rotation angle of rotating part 22 can be accurately controlled by controlling servo motor, that is, the position of each sleeve can be accurately controlled. In other embodiments, sleeve assembly can include multiple sleeves, and multiple sleeves can be distributed along the circumference of rotating part 22, and in order to easily control the position of each sleeve, multiple sleeves can be uniformly distributed along the circumference of rotating part 22, wherein, the position corresponding to the sleeve includes one soft cover assembling position and one taking position. Multiple sleeves can make the assembly of soft cover continuous, and the number of sleeves can be determined according to the time sequence between the sleeve assembly process and the next process. The extension direction of sleeve 23a / 23b of soft cover assembly device of one embodiment of the utility model is parallel to the moving direction of movable end 13 of linear motor, and movable end 13 of linear motor can drive two clamping blocks 12 to reciprocate at both ends of sleeve. When using the soft cover assembly device to assemble soft cover, one end of soft cover is sleeved on one end of sleeve 23a Figure 1The control of the clamping jaw motor controls the two clamping blocks 12 to clamp the soft sleeve and controls the linear motor to drive the clamping blocks 12 and the clamped soft sleeve to move to the end of the sleeve 23a connected to the rotating member 22. The control of the clamping jaw motor releases the clamping blocks 12, and the control of the linear motor drives the clamping blocks 12 to return to the left end of the sleeve 23a. The above steps are repeated again. The number of repetitions of the above steps is different for different lengths of the soft tube.
[0033] In some embodiments, the clamping jaw motor is liftable on the stand 11 to ensure that the clamping blocks 12 can clamp the soft sleeve of the sleeve 23a.
[0034] The clamping surfaces of the two clamping blocks 12 can be arc-shaped to match the sleeve. The clamping surfaces of the clamping blocks 12 can also be provided with anti-skid components, such as anti-skid pads on the clamping surfaces of the clamping blocks 12 or increased roughness of the clamping surfaces of the clamping blocks 12. The above structures increase the contact area between the clamping surfaces of the clamping blocks 12 and the soft sleeve sleeved on the sleeve 23a, thereby increasing the friction and maintaining the stability of clamping. The design of the anti-skid pads can reduce the requirement for the matching degree between the clamping surfaces and the sleeve.

For example, the soft sleeve conveying unit can comprise two rollers 8, and the rotation of the rollers conveys the soft sleeve to the sleeve. The soft sleeve assembly device further comprises a pressing unit 7 arranged in the conveying stroke of the soft sleeve conveying unit. The pressing unit is configured to disconnect the soft sleeve sleeved on the end of the sleeve not connected to the rotating member from the soft sleeve roll.
[0036] In the embodiment in which the soft sleeve assembly device further comprises the moving sleeve 231, one end (the right end) of the moving sleeve 231 is connected to the left end of the sleeve 23a. When the point of disconnection between the assembled soft sleeve and the next soft sleeve is at the right end of the clamping mechanism, the two clamping blocks 12 clamp the soft sleeve on the moving sleeve 231, and the working end of the pressing unit 7 is lowered to disconnect the point of disconnection between the two soft sleeves. The two clamping blocks 12 sleeve the last part of the assembled soft sleeve on the sleeve 23a, completing the assembly of one soft sleeve. At this time, the soft sleeves are stacked on the sleeve 23a. The next soft sleeve is manually sleeved on one end (the left end) of the moving sleeve 231, the two clamping blocks 12 clamp the moving sleeve 231 and the soft sleeve thereon, and the moving sleeve 231 is separated from the end of the sleeve 23a. The rotating member 22 is rotated to rotate the sleeve 23b to the position where the soft sleeve is assembled. The two clamping blocks 12 connect the moving sleeve 231 to the sleeve 23b to perform the next soft sleeve assembly step.
[0037] The soft sleeve assembling device can further comprise a sensor (not shown in the figure), which is configured to monitor whether the soft sleeve is sleeved on the sleeve pipe or the moving sleeve pipe 231. For example, the soft sleeve is usually white, the moving sleeve pipe 231 or the sleeve pipe is black nylon, the color of the moving sleeve pipe 231 or the sleeve pipe with the soft sleeve sleeved thereon is different from that without the soft sleeve sleeved thereon, at this time, the sensor can be a photoelectric sensor, and whether the soft sleeve is sleeved on the sleeve pipe or the moving sleeve pipe 231 is determined by a signal output by the photoelectric sensor, and if yes, the clamping mechanism performs the reciprocating movement step.
[0038] In some embodiments, the soft sleeve assembling device further comprises a control unit; the control unit is electrically connected with the linear motor and the rotary driving piece respectively, and controls the movement of the moving end of the linear motor and the rotation of the output shaft of the rotary driving piece respectively. The control unit can also be electrically connected with the sensor to obtain the state of the sensor, and details are not described herein.
