Above, the lifting cylinder 115 is activated, which drives the gripper cylinder 116 to descend. After the two gripper cylinders 116 clamp the yarn clamping plate cover 181, the lifting cylinder 115 drives the gripper cylinder 116 to rise. The translation cylinder 114 is activated, which drives the gripper cylinder 116 to move to the workstation 17 above the corresponding side. The lifting cylinder 115 drives the gripper cylinder 116 to descend, releasing the yarn clamping plate cover 181. The yarn clamping plate cover 181 falls into the fixture slot 171. The servo motor 16 is activated, which drives the turntable 15 to rotate, rotating the workstation 17 with the yarn clamping plate cover 181 to the next workstation 17 position.
[0040] Specifically, the yarn clamping plate feeding assembly 12 further includes a profile 121, a misalignment cylinder 127, and a direct vibration feeder 128.

Two direct vibration feeders 128 are located on the top of the machine body 1, and a material channel 128 is provided on the top of each direct vibration feeder 128. 129. The misalignment cylinder 127 is located on the top of the machine body 1. The output end of the misalignment cylinder 127 is provided with a loading seat 1271. The loading seat 1271 is located on one side of the material channel 129. The yarn clamping plate loading assembly 12 and the yarn clamping plate cover 181 loading assembly 11 have the same structure and movement principle. The difference is that the specifications of the gripper cylinder 126 in the yarn clamping plate loading assembly 12 are matched with the yarn clamping plate body 182. It is used to clamp the yarn clamping plate body 182 for loading. The yarn clamping plate body 182 is placed on the top of the yarn clamping plate cover 181 by the yarn clamping plate loading assembly 12. The servo motor 16 is started to rotate, which drives the station 17 with the yarn clamping plate cover 181 and the yarn clamping plate body 182 to move to the position opposite to the pressing assembly 13.
[0041] Specifically, the pressing assembly 13 includes a profile three 131 fixedly installed on the top of the machine body 1. The top of the profile three 131 is provided with no less than two pressing cylinders 132. The output end of the pressing cylinder 132 is provided with a pressing head 133. When the station 17 equipped with the yarn clamping plate cover 181 and the yarn clamping plate body 182 moves to below the pressing head 133, the pressing cylinder 132 is activated to drive the pressing head 133 to descend. The pressing head 133 presses and fits the yarn clamping plate body 182 and the yarn clamping plate cover 181 together to form a yarn clamping plate assembly 18. The servo motor 16 is then activated to drive the turntable 15 to rotate, moving the station 17 equipped with the yarn clamping plate assembly 18 to a position opposite to the unloading assembly 14.
[0042] Specifically, the feeding assembly 14 includes a profile 141 and a feeding channel 147. The profile 141 is fixedly mounted on the top of the machine body 1. A guide rail 142 is provided on one side of the profile 141, and a sliding plate 143 is movably mounted on one side of the guide rail 142.

The material feeding channel 147 is located on the top of the machine body 1 and on one side of the profile 141. The structure of the material feeding assembly 14 is roughly the same as that of the yarn clamping plate cover 181 feeding assembly 11 and the yarn clamping plate feeding assembly 12. The difference is that the material feeding assembly 14 does not need to use a direct vibration feeder and a vibrating material plate. The material feeding assembly 14 only needs to move the assembled yarn clamping plate connector 18 into the material feeding channel 147 by the cylinder grippers. The workers can collect the yarn clamping plate connector 18 at one end of the material feeding channel 147 using a collection frame.
[0043] Specifically, the top of the body 1 is provided with a servo motor 16 for driving the turntable 15, and a number of fan holes 102 are provided on one side of the body 1.
[0044] Specifically, the machine body 1 has a partition 101 inside, and the bottom of the machine body 1 has several casters 103 and adjustable feet 104 located on one side of the casters 103. The adjustable feet 104 are used to adjust the height of the machine body 1 so that the casters 103 can contact the ground for movement. The partition 101 is used to install guide rails to facilitate the placement and wiring of electrical components. The electrical components include a Mitsubishi PLC, which controls the main circuit. The main circuit includes intermediate relays, AC contactors, circuit breakers, routers, and sensors. The sensors output or input different signals to the PLC so that when the parts or grippers at each station 17 are in place, the next action can be performed. The fan hole 102 is used to place the fan, and the two small round holes below the fan hole 102 facilitate the connection of wires.
[0045] In summary, the automatic assembly machine for yarn clamping plate components, with its yarn clamping plate cover 181 feeding assembly 11 and yarn clamping plate feeding assembly 12, ensures that the yarn clamping plate body 182 is also fed when the yarn clamping plate cover 181 is fed, greatly guaranteeing feeding efficiency. Furthermore, each station 17 has two clamping slots 171, allowing the clamping assembly 13 to complete the assembly of two yarn clamping plate components 18 at a time. The machine uses a turntable 15 for loading and unloading, resulting in a small footprint, saving space, high automation, and highly repeatable and consistent product quality, significantly reducing the defect rate. The automated assembly production cycle is very short, achieving high productivity. Simultaneously, the machine can operate continuously, significantly reducing manufacturing costs under mass production conditions.
