Since the structure and working mechanism of the rotary table 8 can be found in, but not limited to, CN108857406A (Refrigeration Compressor Motor Starter Assembly Device), the applicant will not elaborate further.

[0035] Applicant based on Figure 3 and Figure 4 And combined Figure 1 and Figure 2 The working principle of this utility model is described (i.e., the assembly process of the "coil spring" is described). When the rotary disk 8 rotates under the aforementioned rhythmic rotation effect, the mold base 81 on it carries the spring... Figure 4 When the detailed car seat adjuster 7 is rotated to the position corresponding to the lower part of the disc spring foot pressure block 54, the rotary table 81 stops rotating. In this state, the transition frame lifting motor 22 of the transition frame lifting mechanism 2 operates. Since the transition frame lifting motor shaft of the transition frame lifting motor 22 and the screw head 231 of the transition frame lifting screw 23 are connected by a coupling 28, the transition frame lifting motor shaft drives the screw head 231 through the coupling 28. The screw head 231 causes the transition frame lifting screw 23 to rotate, and the transition frame lifting screw 23 causes the nut sleeve 24, which is threaded with it, to move downward. As the nut sleeve 24 moves downward, it causes the transition frame fixed connecting seat 25, the transition frame fixed connecting seat slider 26, which forms a sliding pair with the transition frame fixed connecting seat slider guide rail 27, and the transition frame 3, which is fixed to the right side of the transition frame fixed connecting seat 25, to move downward together. As the transition frame 3 moves downward, it drives the rotating sleeve drive mechanism 4, the coil spring foot mounting and positioning mechanism 5, and the coil spring foot unhooking mechanism 6, all mounted on the transition frame 3, to descend simultaneously until the bottom surface of the coil spring foot pressure block 54 abuts against the PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) set by the electrical controller, according to the downward stroke. Figure 4The coil spring 71 is shown with its coil spring drive member insert 712 and the upper surface of the drive member 73. Next, the transition frame lifting motor 22 continues to operate, causing the coil spring foot pressure block 54 to descend a certain distance. At this time, the coil spring foot pressure block 54 overcomes the reaction force of the reaction spring 53 and moves upward a certain distance. The degree of this upward displacement is the degree of compression of the reaction spring 53. At this time, the hook spring foot 56 extends downward and inserts into the coil spring hook foot cavity 7111 of the coil spring needle hook foot 711. The anti-detachment skirt 562 of the hook spring foot 56 hooks the lower edge of the coil spring needle hook foot 711. Next, the rotating drive motor 41 of the rotating drive mechanism 4 rotates clockwise, causing the hook spring foot 56 to pull the coil spring needle hook foot 711 towards the spring needle 72 formed on the gear plate seat, that is, towards the hook spring foot mating groove 631 of the unhooking action member 63. At the same time, the aforementioned transition frame lifting motor 22 operates in reverse, causing the aforementioned rotating sleeve drive mechanism 4, the spring foot mounting and positioning mechanism 5, and the spring foot unhooking mechanism 6, including the spring foot pressure block 54, to rise with the transition frame 3, with the degree of rise being... Figure 4 The distance between the height of the spring needle 72 and the height of the spring needle is shown. At this time, the spring foot pressure block 54 is pushed downward under the action of the aforementioned reaction spring 53, so that the lower surface of the spring foot pressure block 54 always abuts against the aforementioned spring foot drive member insert 712 and the upper surface of the drive member 73. The spring hook foot 56 alone lifts the spring needle hook foot 711 to a state of suspension above the spring needle 72. Then, the operating cylinder 61 of the structure system of the spring needle release mechanism 6 works. The operating cylinder column 612 moves downward and extends out of the cylinder body. Through the spring hook foot mating groove 631 of the release member 63, it pushes the spring needle hook foot 711 to fall off along the aforementioned spring hook foot inclined surface 561, that is, to make the spring needle hook foot 711 fall off the spring hook foot 56, so that the aforementioned spring hook foot cavity 7111 is fitted on the spring needle 72, completing the assembly of the spring needle 71. At this point, after assembly is complete, the rotating drive motor 41 operates counterclockwise, causing the hook spring foot 56 to extend from the aforementioned hook spring foot mating groove 631, i.e., to leave the hook spring foot mating groove 631. Then, following the same working process described above, the next coil spring 71 on the mold base 81 of the rotary table 8 is assembled.

[0036] The applicant needs to explain that: due to the Figure 4 The central hole 731 of the driving component 73 is a spline hole, and the rotation of the driving component 73 is achieved by a drive shaft that mates with the spline hole 731. Therefore, the applicant defines this application as an automatic assembly device for a car seat adjuster drive shaft return disc spring. Specifically, the disc spring 71 drives the driving component 73, and the driving component 73 drives the spline shaft, which is splined and mates with its central hole 731. Since the structure and working mechanism of the aforementioned car seat adjuster can be found in patent documents such as CN105691250A mentioned above, the applicant will not elaborate further.

[0037] In summary, the technical solution provided by this utility model makes up for the shortcomings of the prior art, successfully completes the invention task, and faithfully realizes the technical effects described by the applicant in the above technical effect column.
