[0055] Reference is made to the accompanying drawings Figures 1-14 As shown in the drawings, an automatic inner silicone ring sleeving equipment comprises:
[0056] An aliquot plate 100 is provided with a plurality of clamps 110 for fixing workpieces;
[0057] A workpiece feeding device 200 is located at a feeding station and is used for grabbing workpieces and transferring them to the clamps 110;
[0058] An inner sealing ring sleeving device 300 is located at a sleeving station and is used for grabbing sealing rings and sleeving them on the workpieces of the clamps 110;
[0059] A sealing ring quality inspection device 400 is located at a quality inspection station and is used for screening and discharging the workpieces on the clamps 110;
[0060] A waste discharging device 500 is located at a discharging station and is used for taking out the workpieces that do not pass the quality inspection from the clamps 110;
[0061] The aliquot plate 100 drives the clamps 110 to pass through the feeding station, the sleeving station, the quality inspection station and the discharging station in sequence.
[0062] The present application aims to solve the problems of complex operation and low labor efficiency in the assembly of inner sealing rings of electronic cigarettes through a fully automatic process, and realizes precise and efficient production of inner sealing rings from feeding to assembly, quality inspection and classification. The equipment takes the aliquot plate 100 as the core and drives the clamps 110 to pass through the feeding, sleeving, quality inspection and discharging stations in sequence. Through the cooperation of the quality inspection device and the waste discharging device 500, the classification and discharging of qualified workpieces and unqualified workpieces are realized, and the consistency of production efficiency and product quality is ensured.
[0063] Equalizing disc 100 and clamp 110: Equalizing disc 100 is the core rotating mechanism of the device, on which multiple clamps 110 are evenly distributed, each of which is responsible for fixing a single workpiece. Equalizing disc 100 drives clamp 110 to pass through the feeding station, ring fitting station, quality inspection station and discharging station in turn along the circumferential path. Clamp 110 is empty when it reaches the feeding station, ensuring the independence and accuracy of each cycle of the assembly process.
[0064] Workpiece feeding station: Workpiece feeding device 200 grabs the workpiece to be processed by a mechanical arm and places it accurately into clamp 110 on equalizing disc 100, preparing for subsequent processes. After feeding is completed, equalizing disc 100 rotates to the next station.
[0065] Sealing ring picking station:
[0066] Sealing ring feeding and distribution: The sealing ring is sorted and arranged by the vibrating disc feeding device, and then a single sealing ring is pushed to the grabbing position of the transfer device by the distribution paddle 322.
[0067] Transfer device and installation: The transfer column 340 of the transfer device cooperates with the hook 343 to grab the sealing ring, and uses the transfer groove 341 to ensure the stability of the grabbing. Then, under the control of the lifting module 353 and the rotating motor 352, the transfer column 340 accurately fits the sealing ring into the inner installation groove of the workpiece. After the sealing ring is elastically reset, it forms a tight fit with the workpiece.
[0068] Sealing ring quality inspection station: Repeated action and qualified product discharge, the quality inspection device detects the sealing ring installation by inserting the guide column 430 into the workpiece: if the sealing ring is installed correctly, the guide column 430 attaches the workpiece to itself by elastic extrusion, and moves it out of the clamp 110. The quality inspection device then discharges and classifies the qualified workpiece to the finished product area. If the sealing ring is not installed correctly, the workpiece cannot be attached to the guide column 430 and remains in the clamp 110. The quality inspection device focuses on the grabbing, discharging and classifying of qualified products.
[0069] Waste product discharging station: Repeated action and classification of unqualified products, after reaching the waste product discharging station, waste product discharging device 500 identifies the unqualified workpiece remaining in clamp 110, removes the unqualified workpiece from clamp 110 by mechanical arm or air cylinder, and classifies it to the waste product processing area. By emptying clamp 110 through the waste product discharging action, it ensures that clamp 110 has no remaining workpiece in the next cycle, maintaining the continuity of the production process.
[0070] In this embodiment, the workpiece feeding device 200 includes a workpiece straight vibration feeding module 210 and a workpiece grabbing mechanical arm 220;
[0071] The workpiece straight vibration feeding module 210 is used for sorting and individual feeding of workpieces; through the straight vibration feeding technology, the workpieces in disordered stacking are guided into a single channel by vibration to realize the one-by-one arrangement of the workpieces. The bottom of the vibration disc and the track are designed to be adjustable, which can adapt to workpieces of different specifications. An outlet is arranged at the end of the straight vibration feeding module to sequentially convey the arranged workpieces to the grabbing position, thereby creating conditions for efficient grabbing by the mechanical arm. The intelligent detection function is introduced in the module, which can automatically adjust the vibration amplitude or issue a warning when the feeding path is blocked or the workpiece arrangement is abnormal, thereby ensuring smooth feeding.
[0072] The workpiece grabbing mechanical arm 220 is used for grabbing workpieces from the workpiece straight vibration feeding module 210 and transferring the workpieces to the clamp 110. The mechanical arm is equipped with a multi-axis motion mechanism and an end gripping device, which accurately locks the position of the workpiece through a position sensor and performs a grabbing action. After grabbing, the mechanical arm transfers the workpiece from the feeding module to the clamp 110 of the equal division disc 100 according to a preset path. The motion trajectory of the mechanical arm is optimally designed to avoid interference with other equipment.
[0073] An automatic device is designed for the workpiece feeding link to solve the problems of low efficiency and poor stability in traditional manual feeding. Through the cooperation of the workpiece straight vibration feeding module 210 and the workpiece grabbing mechanical arm 220, the full-automatic process from disordered feeding to accurate transfer of the workpieces is realized. The design idea focuses on modularity and intelligence to ensure efficient and stable feeding process and provide a standardized feeding interface for subsequent processes.
[0074] Referring to the accompanying drawings Figures 3-9 As shown in the drawings, in the embodiment, the inner sealing ring snatching device 300 includes:
[0075] The sealing ring feeding device 310 is located at a feeding station for sorting and feeding of sealing rings;
[0076] The sealing ring distribution device 320 is located at a distribution station and is connected with the sealing ring feeding device 310. The sealing ring distribution device 320 distributes the sealing rings for grabbing;
[0077] The sealing ring transfer device 330 is driven by a motion module to grab the sealing rings from the distribution station and transfer them to an assembly station for installation of the sealing rings;
[0078] The sealing ring transfer device 330 includes a transfer column 340, the radius of the transfer column 340 is greater than the inner diameter of the sealing ring and less than the inner diameter of the workpiece hole, and the surface of the transfer column 340 is provided with a transfer groove 341 for fixing the sealing ring.
[0079] The device solves the problems of limited operation space, low efficiency and poor precision in the installation process of inner wall sealing ring by automation. The core of the device is the structural design of the transfer column 340 and the transfer groove 341, which realizes precise grabbing, stable transfer and efficient installation of the sealing ring.
[0080] The sealing ring is sorted by the rubber ring feeding module and transmitted to the distribution station along the feeding channel. In the distribution station, the rubber ring distribution module uses the distribution paddle 322 and the positioning groove 321 to separate and fix the sealing ring one by one for the transfer module to grab. The transfer column 340 in the transfer module drops to the position of the sealing ring, and by the feature that the diameter of the transfer column 340 is larger than the inner diameter of the sealing ring, the sealing ring is clamped into the transfer groove 341 by extrusion action. The transfer groove 341 is designed to adapt to the deformation characteristics of the sealing ring to ensure firm grabbing. The transfer module is driven by the motion module to transfer the grabbed sealing ring from the distribution station to the assembly station. The transfer column 340 is aligned with the inner wall of the workpiece, and the sealing ring is accurately embedded into the installation groove of the workpiece by downward movement. The elasticity of the sealing ring makes it completely fit the installation groove, and when the transfer column 340 is disengaged, the sealing ring can remain in the installation groove and will not be taken out with the transfer column 340.
[0081] The radius of the transfer column 340 and the depth of the transfer groove 341 are repeatedly adjusted to ensure that the sealing ring can be stably grabbed and smoothly released. The device realizes full-process automation from feeding to installation, reduces manual intervention, and improves production efficiency. The optimized design of the diameter of the transfer column and the depth of the transfer groove 341 ensures that the sealing ring does not slip off or be taken out during the grabbing and installation process. It reduces the dependence on skilled workers and reduces the labor intensity and training cost of manual installation.
[0082] In another embodiment, the radius of the transfer column 340 below the transfer groove 341 can be smaller than the radius of the transfer column 340 above the transfer groove 341, within the range that the radius of the transfer column 340 is larger than the inner diameter of the sealing ring and smaller than the inner diameter of the workpiece hole. The slightly smaller transfer column 340 below ensures that the sealing ring will not fall off, and the slightly larger transfer column 340 above ensures that the sealing ring can be smoothly inserted into the workpiece.
[0083] The upper transfer column 340 fixes the sealing ring through the transfer groove 341 in the grabbing stage, and the smaller radius of the lower transfer column 340 avoids excessive interference with the bottom of the sealing ring. In the installation stage, the transfer column 340 accurately embeds the sealing ring into the installation groove of the inner wall of the workpiece, and the upper part ensures the stability of the position of the sealing ring. In the release stage, the smaller radius of the lower transfer column 340 reduces the contact area with the sealing ring, and when the transfer column 340 is disengaged upward, the sealing ring can be smoothly installed by relying on the elasticity and the fixing action of the installation groove.
[0084] In the embodiment, the transfer column 340 includes a positioning column 342 and a hook 343, and the hook 343 is slidable relative to the positioning column 342.
[0085] The positioning column 342 and the hook 343 are both provided with grooves, and when the positioning column 342 and the hook 343 are aligned, the grooves form a transfer groove 341. The core is to realize accurate grabbing, smooth transfer and efficient installation of the sealing ring through the cooperation of the positioning column 342 and the hook 343. The sliding fit design of the positioning column 342 and the hook 343 not only can stretch the sealing ring to reduce its outer diameter, but also can realize smooth release of the sealing ring after installation, solving the problems of easy obstruction and unstable installation of the sealing ring during installation.
[0086] The grooves on the positioning column 342 and the hook 343 form the transfer groove 341 together when aligned, and the sealing ring enters the transfer groove 341 through the positioning groove 321. The sealing ring is firmly fixed in the transfer groove 341, and the hook 343 cooperates with the positioning column 342 to keep the sealing ring in the correct position.
[0087] The hook 343 slides upward during the transfer process, and through the cooperation of the groove and the positioning column 342, a stretching effect is generated on the sealing ring, so that the outer diameter of the sealing ring is reduced. The reduced sealing ring is easier to pass through the workpiece hole, avoiding obstruction or displacement of the sealing ring due to interference.
[0088] When a part of the sealing ring is clamped into the installation groove of the workpiece, the hook 343 slides back to reset the sealing ring to the elastic state. The reset sealing ring completely fits in the installation groove of the workpiece, realizing accurate installation. The reset hook 343 gradually separates from the positioning column 342 relative to the transfer groove 341, and the sealing ring stays in the workpiece with the help of its elasticity and the fixing force of the installation groove, completing the installation.
[0089] In the embodiment, the sealing ring transfer module 330 includes a transfer cylinder 331, and the transfer cylinder 331 is connected with the hook 343 for driving the hook 343 to slide. The hook 343 is driven to slide by the transfer cylinder 331, realizing accurate control of the sealing ring during the grabbing, transferring and installing processes. The introduction of the transfer cylinder 331 makes the action of the hook 343 more flexible and controllable, providing mechanical support for smooth installation of the sealing ring.
[0090] The transfer cylinder 331 controls the sliding of the hook 343, so that the hook 343 cooperates with the positioning column 342 to form the transfer groove 341. The sealing ring is firmly grabbed into the transfer groove 341, and the sliding action of the hook 343 ensures the stable position of the sealing ring.
[0091] The hook 343 slides upward under the drive of the transfer cylinder 331, stretching the outer diameter of the sealing ring, making it easier to pass through the workpiece hole. The cylinder drive action is smooth, avoiding the sliding or position deviation of the sealing ring caused by vibration or sudden action.
[0092] The hook 343 carries the sealing ring to the installation position, and the transfer cylinder 331 controls the gradual reset of the hook 343. During the reset process, the sealing ring is gradually embedded in the installation groove of the workpiece with the help of elasticity.
[0093] Through the design of driving the hook 343 by the transfer cylinder 331, the embodiment realizes the whole process accurate control of sealing ring grabbing, stretching, installation and release. The introduction of the cylinder not only improves the stability and consistency of the device action, but also enhances the ability of the device to adapt to different workpieces and sealing rings, greatly improving the efficiency and quality of automated production.
[0094] In the embodiment, the sealing ring distribution module 320 includes:
[0095] The positioning groove 321 is used to fix the sealing ring;
[0096] The distribution cylinder and the distribution paddle 322 are used to push the sealing ring from the sealing ring supply module 310 into the positioning groove 321 one by one.
[0097] The sealing ring is sequentially transported from the supply module, such as a vibrating disc or a supply channel, to the distribution station. The distribution paddle 322 starts the distribution action by the drive of the distribution cylinder. The distribution cylinder drives the distribution paddle 322 to push the sealing ring from the supply module to the positioning groove 321 one by one. The positioning groove 321 is designed to adapt to the shape and size of the sealing ring, so that the sealing ring can be stably positioned after being pushed, avoiding tilting, sliding or multiple ring overlapping. The positioning groove 321 ensures that each sealing ring is in a fixed state after distribution is completed, providing an accurate starting position for the grabbing of the transfer module.
[0098] The action of the positioning groove 321 and the distribution paddle 322 can continuously and efficiently complete the distribution operation.
[0099] The distribution module in the embodiment realizes the accurate distribution and positioning of the sealing ring through the cooperation of the distribution cylinder and the paddle. The design of the positioning groove 321 further improves the stability after distribution and the reliability of grabbing, ensuring the efficient and continuous sealing ring supply process, laying a solid foundation for the entire automated installation process.
[0100] In this embodiment, a side pushing cylinder and a side pushing piece 323 are also included, which communicates with the positioning groove 321 for extruding the sealing ring. By adding the design of the side pushing cylinder and the side pushing piece 323, the problem of disengagement that may occur during the transfer and installation of the sealing ring is solved. The side pushing piece 323 communicates with the positioning groove 321, and can apply additional extrusion force to the hook 343 direction during the grabbing and transferring process, ensuring that the sealing ring always fits tightly with the groove of the hook 343, thereby improving the stability of pulling the sealing ring.
[0101] When the hook 343 grabs the sealing ring and enters the transfer groove 341, the concave radius of the transfer groove 341 is smaller than the inner diameter of the sealing ring, which may cause the sealing ring to slip out of the groove of the hook 343 due to insufficient tension. To solve this problem, the side pushing cylinder drives the side pushing piece 323 to apply extrusion force to the sealing ring from the side.
[0102] The side pushing piece 323 applies a certain lateral pressure to the sealing ring through the positioning groove 321, causing the sealing ring to deform and fit more tightly in the groove of the hook 343. This extrusion action effectively increases the friction between the hook 343 and the sealing ring, avoiding the disengagement phenomenon caused by the smaller radius of the transfer groove 341.
[0103] After the transfer column 340 completes the grabbing, the side pushing cylinder drives the pushing piece to reset to the initial position, leaving space for the transfer movement of the transfer column 340.
[0104] The side pushing cylinder and the side pushing piece 323 play a key auxiliary role in the distribution station, ensuring stable grabbing of the sealing ring by providing extrusion during the grabbing stage. Its design logic is clear and the action is efficient, without interfering with the subsequent transfer and installation process, significantly improving the operation reliability of the equipment and the consistency of the sealing ring installation.
[0105] In this embodiment, the sealing ring feeding module 310 includes a vibrating disc and a feeding channel, the vibrating disc is used for sorting a plurality of sealing rings, and the feeding channel connects the vibrating disc and the sealing ring distribution module 320. Through the combination of the vibrating disc and the feeding channel, efficient feeding and sorting of the sealing ring is realized. The vibrating disc is responsible for arranging a plurality of sealing rings from a disordered state into a single row of ordered state, and then the sealing ring is transmitted to the distribution module through the feeding channel. The entire feeding process is the first step of automation of the equipment, providing a stable and reliable feeding source for the subsequent grabbing, transferring and installing.
[0106] The vibrating disc uses the principle of vibration to automatically guide the scattered sealing ring to the track in the disc. The track is designed as a single track that gradually narrows, and the sealing ring is arranged into a single row by vibration, ensuring that the output sealing ring is arranged in sequence.
[0107] The single-row sealing rings are transported to the distribution module through the feeding channel. The feeding channel is designed as a closed or semi-closed structure to prevent the sealing rings from slipping or deviating from the track during transportation. The length of the feeding channel is designed according to the layout of the equipment to ensure that the sealing rings can be continuously transported to the distribution module.
[0108] In this embodiment, the movement module drive includes a support arm 351, a rotary motor 352, and a lifting module 353.
[0109] The support arm 351 is horizontally placed, and the rotary motor 352 is used to drive the support arm 351 to rotate around the center point through a transmission member.
[0110] Two lifting modules 353 are respectively arranged at the two ends of the support arm 351, and two sealing ring transfer modules 330 are respectively arranged on the lifting modules 353 at the two ends of the support arm 351. The combination of the support arm 351, the rotary motor 352, and the lifting module 353 realizes efficient linkage operation of the sealing ring transfer module 330. Two sealing ring transfer modules 330 are respectively installed on the two lifting modules 353 of the support arm 351. The rotary motor 352 is used to drive the transfer modules to alternately perform the steps of grabbing and installing, thereby greatly improving the working efficiency and production rhythm of the equipment.
[0111] Two sealing ring transfer modules 330 are respectively installed at the two ends of the support arm 351, and the lifting module 353 controls the up-down movement of the transfer module to perform the grabbing and installing actions. The two transfer modules are operated alternately, one is responsible for grabbing the sealing ring, and the other is responsible for installing the sealing ring at the same time, forming efficient cooperation.
[0112] The rotary motor 352 drives the support arm 351 to rotate around the center point through a transmission member, and transfers the grabbed sealing ring from the distribution station to the assembly station. At the same time, the installed transfer module returns to the distribution station to prepare for the next round of grabbing action.
[0113] In this embodiment, a workpiece positioning platform 360 is further included.
[0114] The workpiece positioning platform 360 is provided with through holes corresponding to the positions of the workpieces on the clamp 110, and the workpiece positioning platform 360 is driven by a workpiece positioning cylinder.
[0115] In the automatic process, in order to facilitate grabbing the workpiece, the upper half of the workpiece is exposed outside the clamp 110, and in order to improve the stability of the sealing ring installation, the upper half of the workpiece is limited through the through holes on the workpiece positioning platform 360. The problem of shaking or displacement of the workpiece during the sealing ring installation process is solved. The through holes on the platform cooperate with the workpiece to limit and support the upper half of the workpiece exposed outside the clamp 110, thereby improving the stability and precision of the installation.
[0116] Reference is made to the accompanying drawings Figures 10-12 As shown in the embodiment, the sealing ring quality inspection device 400 comprises a mounting bracket 410, which is provided with a guide column 430 and a detection driving assembly for driving the guide column 430 to approach / leave the workpiece 420.
[0117] The diameter of the guide column 430 is smaller than the diameter of the hole of the workpiece 420 and larger than the inner diameter of the sealing ring.
[0118] When the guide column 430 enters the workpiece 420, the guide column 430 elastically extrudes the sealing ring to be connected and fixed with the workpiece 420.
[0119] The diameter of the guide column 430 is designed to be smaller than the diameter of the hole of the workpiece 420 and larger than the inner diameter of the sealing ring, so as to ensure that the guide column 430 can be smoothly inserted into the workpiece 420, and at the same time, the sealing ring is extruded to form elastic contact. When the sealing ring is correctly installed in the clamping groove in the workpiece 420, the guide column 430 is inserted to form stable extrusion adhesion with the sealing ring, so as to fix the workpiece 420 on the guide column 430.
[0120] If the sealing ring is correctly installed, the workpiece 420 is extruded and adhered to the guide column 430, and the guide column 430 takes the workpiece 420 out of the clamp 110 and transports it to the unloading position. If the sealing ring is not correctly installed or missing, the workpiece 420 cannot be adhered to the guide column 430, and the workpiece continues to be in the clamp 110 for the waste unloading device 500 to handle.
[0121] The design purpose of the sealing ring quality inspection device 400 in the embodiment is to realize accurate detection of the installation of the sealing ring. Through automatic detection means, the omissions and errors of manual quality inspection are avoided, and the efficiency and consistency of the quality inspection link are ensured. The quality inspection device is based on the mounting bracket 410, combined with the guide column 430 and the detection driving assembly, and through the elastic extrusion of the sealing ring, it quickly judges whether the sealing ring is correctly installed in the workpiece 420. The design focuses on the reliability, repeatability and stability of the equipment operation of the detection.
[0122] In the embodiment, the detection driving assembly comprises a transverse displacement air cylinder 440 mounted on the mounting bracket 410 for driving the guide column 430 to displace transversely.
[0123] The detection driving assembly introduces the transverse displacement air cylinder 440 to enable the guide column 430 to have transverse movement capability to meet the dynamic adaptation needs of the quality inspection device. The transverse displacement design aims to improve the flexibility and space utilization efficiency of the equipment, and at the same time, supports accurate operation of multiple detection positions. This design not only simplifies the action path of the guide column 430, but also optimizes the equipment layout to provide support for high-rhythm production.
[0124] In the embodiment, the detection driving assembly further comprises a longitudinal displacement cylinder 450 connected with the driving end of the transverse displacement cylinder 440, for driving the guide column 430 to longitudinally displace.
[0125] The detection driving assembly cooperates with the transverse displacement cylinder 440 through the addition of the longitudinal displacement cylinder 450, to endow the guide column 430 with precise movement capability in the vertical direction. The core goal of the longitudinal displacement design is to realize the up-and-down movement of the guide column 430, thereby completing the insertion detection action on the sealing ring of the workpiece. The linkage control of the two axes not only improves the flexibility and adaptability of the detection device, but also meets the detection requirements of various workpiece heights and positions, while ensuring smooth and efficient detection action.
[0126] In the embodiment, a blanking cylinder 470 and a blanking plate 471 are further included. The blanking cylinder 470 is connected with the longitudinal displacement cylinder 450, one end of the blanking plate 471 is connected with the blanking cylinder 470, and the other end of the blanking plate 471 is sleeved on the guide column 430. The blanking cylinder 470 drives the blanking plate 471 to move downward.
[0127] The blanking cylinder 470 and the blanking plate 471 are designed to optimize the blanking process of qualified workpieces, to ensure the efficiency and stability from detection completion to product area transfer. By connecting the blanking cylinder 470 with the longitudinal displacement cylinder 450, the blanking action and the detection action are integrated.
[0128] The blanking cylinder 470 is installed on the driving end of the longitudinal displacement cylinder 450 through the bracket 410, and can move longitudinally to the designated position. One end of the blanking plate 471 is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the blanking cylinder 470, and the other end is annularly designed and sleeved on the outside of the guide column 430, which can slide up and down along the guide column 430. After the guide column 430 is inserted into the workpiece to detect the installation of the sealing ring, if the workpiece is qualified, it will be attached to the guide column 430. The blanking plate 471 moves downward along the guide column 430, gently pushes the attached workpiece, and uses smooth mechanical force to make the workpiece separate from the guide column 430.
[0129] In the embodiment, the waste blanking device 500 comprises a workpiece blanking mechanical arm module 510, which spans above the equal division disc and the blanking station. The workpiece blanking mechanical arm module is used to grab the workpiece on the lower clamp and remove the waste product through the waste blanking cylinder 520.
[0130] The blanking mechanical arm module 510 is across the equal division disc 100 and the blanking station, and the workpiece blanking mechanical arm module is used for grabbing the workpiece on the lower clamp 110. By introducing the workpiece blanking mechanical arm module, the accurate grabbing and efficient classification of unqualified workpieces are realized. The mechanical arm module design focuses on flexibility and stability, and through the structural layout across the equal division disc 100 and the blanking station, it is ensured that the waste workpieces can be quickly removed from the clamp 110 and classified to the waste area, without interfering with the normal operation of other stations.
[0131] Referring to the accompanying drawings Figures 13-14 As shown, the technical scheme proposes an automatic silicone ring in-suit equipment, which realizes the full-process automatic operation of workpieces from feeding, seal ring installation, quality inspection to blanking through modular design. The equipment core takes the equal division disc 100 as the reference, and drives the clamp 110 through each functional station in turn, so as to ensure the accuracy and efficiency of each step.
[0132] In the feeding station, the workpieces are arranged by the straight vibration feeding module and grabbed by the mechanical arm to the clamp 110, so as to complete the accurate feeding. In the seal ring installation station, the seal ring is sequentially delivered to the transfer device by the vibration disc feeding and distribution device, and the accurate grabbing and installation of the seal ring are completed by the cooperation of the transfer column 340 and the hook 343. The workpiece positioning platform 360 limits the upper half of the exposed workpiece through the through hole, so as to further improve the stability of the seal ring installation.
[0133] The quality inspection station automatically detects the seal ring installation quality through the guide column 430 and the detection driving assembly, the workpiece qualified in detection is grabbed by the guide column 430 and blanked, and the unqualified workpiece is left in the clamp 110 to wait for the treatment of the waste blanking device 500. In the blanking station, the waste blanking device 500 and the quality inspection device work cooperatively, and the qualified workpieces and the unqualified workpieces are classified and collected respectively, so as to ensure the efficient sorting of the finished products and the waste products.
[0134] The whole system realizes the accurate three-dimensional movement of the guide column 430 through the linkage of the horizontal displacement air cylinder 440 and the longitudinal displacement air cylinder 450, so as to adapt to the workpiece requirements of different sizes and shapes. The modular design of the detection driving assembly and the blanking assembly ensures the accuracy of the action and the easy maintenance of the equipment, and significantly improves the detection efficiency and the blanking stability.
