[0055] As a specific embodiment, the top shell 2 and the bottom shell 5 are connected by fasteners.

[0056] The working method of the embodiment is as follows:

[0057] (1) The damper 16 to be assembled is placed in the grabbing position, and the press shell 14 to be assembled is placed in the press-fitting position and fixed and pressed; the grabbing module 100 moves to the grabbing position, and the damper 16 is grabbed by the chuck 3, and at the same time, the inner concave curved surface 51 is attached to the outer convex curved surface 161 on the inner side of the guide part of the damper 16 to close the inner cavity 22 formed between the damper 16 and the press shell 14 from the top. Then the grabbing module moves to the press-fitting position in the horizontal direction, and then moves downward in the vertical direction, so that the O-ring 17 of the damper 16 enters the guide area of the mouth of the press shell 14, and the damper 16 is pre-pressed.

[0058] (2) Start the external vacuum pumping mechanism to pump the inner cavity 22 through the air hole 6, and the pressure of the inner cavity 22 decreases, so that the O-ring 17 on the damper 16 is squeezed and shrinks by the external air. Since the pressure of the O-ring 17 is balanced, it can enter the centered state. At the same time, the damper 16 is further pressed into the press shell 14 by using the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the inner cavity. During the pressing process, the O-ring 17 remains centered and cannot be squeezed out of the press shell 14, ensuring that the damper 16 is assembled in place.

[0059] Among them, on the grabbing position, the hole of the damper 16 is placed on the second centering seat 11 and positioned by it, the bottom surface of the ear part of the damper 16 is limited by the axial positioning groove, and the side surface of the ear part of the damper 16 is limited by the radial positioning block 12. The positioning column 4 on the grabbing module 100 passes through the ear hole 162 of the ear part of the damper 16 and is sensed by the inductor 13 to realize axial alignment, ensuring that the damper is grabbed by the grabbing module 100 in the correct posture.

[0060] The L-shaped clamp 3 of the grabbing module 100 holds the damper 16 to prevent the shell from falling off during the transfer and ensure that the damper remains horizontal. The guide part of the damper 16 and the upper sealing ring 15 sleeved outside the guide part extend into the space surrounded by the bottom surface and the inner circumferential surface 201 of the upper sealing gasket 29 and the inner concave curved surface 51. The upper sealing gasket 29 and the upper sealing ring 15 can further improve the sealing performance of the inner cavity 22, thereby ensuring the vacuum degree formed by the air extraction.

[0061] The grabbing module 100 is driven by the driving mechanism to move horizontally from the grabbing position to the pressing position. The moving distance can be controlled according to the actual distance between the two positions, so as to ensure that the damper is concentric with the shell.

[0062] The air outlet pipe shell part of the shell 14 in the pressing position is placed on the circumferential positioning seat 18, and the inner ring of the center air inlet of the shell 14 is positioned by the first center positioning seat 20. At the same time, the lower sealing gasket 21 ensures the sealing of the bottom of the inner cavity 22. The structure of the pressing position further includes a shell pressing mechanism 28 as shown in the drawing, which is used to press the shell 14 to avoid movement of the shell during assembly.
