The following description is based on the accompanying drawings.

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of embodiments of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0025] In this embodiment of the invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this embodiment of the invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0026] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, an automatic assembly sheathing station is provided, including a sheathing feeding mechanism 10, a sheathing receiving mechanism 20, a sheathing positioning mechanism 30, and a sheathing picking robot 40. The sheathing feeding mechanism 10 is provided with a feeding position located next to the sheathing receiving mechanism 20. The sheathing receiving mechanism 20 is used to receive the sheaths conveyed by the feeding position and rotates the received sheaths to realize the reversal. The sheathing positioning mechanism 30 is disposed on the sheathing receiving mechanism 20 and is used to position the sheaths after reversal. The sheathing picking robot 40 is located above the sheathing receiving mechanism 20 and is used to pick up the positioned sheaths and move them to the assembly position for assembly.

[0027] Specifically, the sheath feeding mechanism 10 is responsible for placing the sheath material into the feeding position. The feeding position is the first location where the sheath material enters the workstation, and it is usually transported to this position by an automated conveying system. The sheath receiving mechanism 20 is located next to the feeding position, and its main function is to receive the sheath material transported from the feeding position. This mechanism uses rotational motion to reverse the orientation of the sheath material, ensuring that the sheath material can be correctly aligned, preparing it for subsequent positioning and assembly. The sheath positioning mechanism 30 is set on the sheath receiving mechanism 20 and is used to accurately position the sheath material after rotation and reversal. The sheath picking robot 40 is located above the sheath receiving mechanism 20, and its function is to pick up the positioned sheath material and move it to the assembly position for assembly. The sheath feeding mechanism 10 is connected to the sheath receiving mechanism 20, and the feeding mechanism transports the sheath material to the receiving mechanism. The sheath receiving mechanism 20 is connected to the sheath positioning mechanism 30, and the receiving mechanism transfers the reversed sheath material to the positioning mechanism. The sheath positioning mechanism 30 is connected to the sheath picking robot 40, and the positioned sheath material is picked up by the robot. The automated feeding, receiving, positioning, and picking processes reduce manual operation and improve production efficiency. The precise positioning mechanism and picking robot reduce human error and improve assembly accuracy. Automation reduces reliance on manual labor, saving labor costs in the long run. Automated control and a precise positioning system help improve the quality and consistency of the final product.

[0028] In this example, the sheath feeding mechanism 10 includes a vibrating feed pan 11, a feeding guide rail 12, and a stopping module 13. The outlet of the vibrating feed pan 11 is connected to the feeding guide rail 12, and the vibrating feed pan 11 conveys the sheath into the feeding guide rail 12 through vibration. The outlet end of the feeding guide rail 12 is located close to the sheath receiving mechanism 20. The stopping module 13 is located at the outlet end of the feeding guide rail 12 and is used to control the sheath unloading from the feeding guide rail 12. Specifically, the vibrating feed pan 11 generates vibration through a built-in vibration motor 211, causing the sheath material to jump and move forward within the pan. This vibration helps to separate and arrange the sheath material, allowing it to smoothly enter the feeding guide rail 12. The feeding guide rail 12 is used to guide the sheath material from the vibrating feed pan 11 to the sheath receiving mechanism 20. The guide rail is typically designed with a smooth surface to reduce friction and ensure smooth flow of the sheath material. The material stopping module 13 is located at the discharge end of the feeding guide rail 12, and its function is to control the feeding speed and quantity of the sheath material. The vibrating feed pan 11 is connected to the feeding guide rail 12, and the discharge port of the vibrating feed pan 11 is connected to the inlet of the feeding guide rail 12 to ensure that the sheath material can directly enter the guide rail. The feeding guide rail 12 is connected to the sheath receiving mechanism 20, and the discharge end of the feeding guide rail 12 is close to the sheath receiving mechanism 20 so that the sheath material can be directly received by the receiving mechanism.

[0029] In this example, a limiting groove 121 is provided on the feeding guide rail 12, which extends through both ends of the feeding guide rail 12. One end of the stopping module 13 can extend into the limiting groove 121. Specifically, the limiting groove 121 extends through both ends of the guide rail, forming a channel. This channel allows a portion of the stopping module 13 to extend into it in order to control the flow of the sheath material.

[0030] In this example, the material stopping module 13 includes a fixed bending plate 131, a material stopping cylinder 132, and a material stopping block 133. The fixed bending plate 131 is mounted on the feeding guide rail 12, the material stopping cylinder 132 is fixed on the fixed bending plate 131, and the material stopping block 133 is connected to the lifting end of the material stopping cylinder 132, and the material stopping block 133 can extend into the feeding guide rail 12. Specifically, the fixed bending plate 131 is the mounting base of the material stopping module 13. It is mounted on the feeding guide rail 12 and is used to fix the material stopping cylinder 132 and other components. The design of the fixed bending plate 131 is usually to ensure sufficient rigidity and stability to support the normal operation of the material stopping module 13. The material stopping cylinder 132 is the power source of the material stopping module 13. It drives the piston to reciprocate through compressed air. The lifting end of the material stopping cylinder 132 is connected to the material stopping block 133. When the cylinder works, the movement of the piston causes the material stopping block 133 to rise or fall. The stop block 133 is a component that directly contacts the sheath material. It controls the flow of the sheath material by rising and falling. When the stop block 133 falls, it can prevent the sheath material from being fed; when the stop block 133 rises, the sheath material can pass through smoothly.

[0031] In this example, the sheath receiving mechanism 20 includes a first translation module 21, a second translation module 22, a rotation module 23, and a receiving seat 24. The second translation module 22 is located at the moving end of the first translation module 21, and the first translation module 21 can drive the second translation module 22 to move horizontally in the transverse direction. The rotation module 23 is located at the moving end of the second translation module 22 and is driven to move longitudinally. The receiving seat 24 is connected to the output end of the rotation module 23, and the receiving seat 24 is provided with a receiving groove 241 adapted to the sheath. Specifically, the first translation module 21 is responsible for driving the second translation module 22 to move horizontally in the transverse direction to align with or offset the conveying path of the sheath material. The fact that the second translation module 22 is located at the moving end of the first translation module 21 means that the second translation module 22 can further precisely adjust the position of the rotation module 23 after the first translation module 21 has moved into place. The second translation module 22 is also driven by a motor 211 to realize the longitudinal translation movement of the rotation module 23. The rotating module 23 is located at the moving end of the second translation module 22. It is responsible for receiving the sheath and rotating it to achieve reversal or alignment of the sheath. The rotating module 23 can be a rotary cylinder or a servo motor 211. The receiving seat 24 is connected to the output end of the rotating module 23 and is used to receive the rotated sheath. The receiving seat 24 is provided with a receiving groove 241 that matches the shape and size of the sheath to ensure the stability of the sheath during conveying and rotation.

[0032] In this example, both the first translation module 21 and the second translation module 22 include a motor 211, a screw 212, and a movable seat 213. The motor 211 is connected to the screw 212, and the movable seat 213 is threadedly connected to the screw 212. The motor 211 drives the screw 212 to rotate, thereby achieving the horizontal movement of the conveyed movable seat 213. Specifically, the motor 211 is connected to the screw 212, and the rotation of the motor 211 is transmitted to the screw 212 through a coupling, gears, or other transmission devices. When the motor 211 drives the screw 212 to rotate, the movable seat 213 moves linearly along the thread of the screw 212, achieving horizontal movement.

[0033] In this example, the sheath positioning mechanism 30 includes a positioning cylinder 31 and a positioning plate 32. The positioning cylinder 31 is mounted on the second translation module 22, and the positioning plate 32 is installed on the moving end of the positioning cylinder 31, with the positioning plate 32 positioned opposite to the receiving seat 24. Specifically, the positioning cylinder 31 serves as a power source, driving a piston to reciprocate within the cylinder via gas pressure. This motion is converted into linear motion of the positioning plate 32, thereby achieving the positioning action of the sheath. The positioning plate 32 is installed on the moving end of the positioning cylinder 31, and driven by the positioning cylinder 31, the positioning plate 32 can move along the moving direction of the cylinder. The positioning plate 32 is designed to contact the sheath, enabling precise positioning of the sheath.

[0034] In this example, the sheath-picking robot 40 includes a first linear drive assembly 41, a second linear drive assembly 42, a lifting assembly 43, and a picking assembly 44. The second linear drive assembly 42 is connected to the moving end of the first linear drive assembly 41. The lifting assembly 43 is connected to the moving end of the second linear drive assembly 42, and the moving direction of the lifting assembly 43 is perpendicular to the moving direction of the second linear drive assembly 42. The picking assembly 44 is disposed at the lifting end of the lifting assembly 43. Specifically, the first linear drive assembly 41 is responsible for moving the main body of the robot in the horizontal direction, and is typically composed of a motor 211 and a transmission mechanism (such as a gear, rack, or lead screw). The motor 211 drives the transmission mechanism to move the robot along a predetermined path. The second linear drive assembly 42 is connected to the moving end of the first linear drive assembly 41 and is responsible for moving in another horizontal direction, typically perpendicular to the first linear drive assembly 41. This design allows the robot to perform two-dimensional movement within a plane. The lifting assembly 43 is connected to the moving end of the second linear drive assembly 42 and is responsible for moving in the vertical direction, perpendicular to the moving direction of the second linear drive assembly 42. This allows the robot to be positioned at different heights in three-dimensional space. The picking assembly 44 is located at the lifting end of the lifting assembly 43 and is responsible for the actual picking action. This assembly may include grippers, suction cups, or other picking tools for grasping or adsorbing the sheath.

[0035] In this example, the lifting assembly 43 includes a movable plate 431, a lifting cylinder 432, and a lifting seat 433. The movable plate 431 is connected to the movable end of the second linear drive assembly 42. The lifting cylinder 432 is mounted on the movable seat 213. The lifting end of the lifting cylinder 432 is connected to the lifting seat 433, and the pickup assembly 44 is fixed to the lifting seat 433. Specifically, the movable plate 431 is connected to the movable end of the second linear drive assembly 42, allowing the lifting assembly 43 to move horizontally. The lifting cylinder 432 is mounted on the movable plate 431, and the movement of the cylinder causes the lifting seat 433 to move up and down. The lifting seat 433 is connected to the lifting end of the lifting cylinder 432, and the lifting seat 433 rises or falls with the piston movement of the cylinder. The pickup assembly 44 is fixed to the lifting seat 433 and moves with the movement of the lifting seat 433, performing a pickup action.

[0036] In this example, the pickup assembly 44 includes a pickup cylinder 441 and a pickup gripper 442. The pickup cylinder 441 is fixed to the lifting end of the lifting assembly 43; the pickup gripper 442 is connected to the output end of the pickup cylinder 441 and is used to grip the sheath. Specifically, the pickup cylinder 441 is fixed to the lifting end of the lifting assembly 43, and the lifting assembly 43 moves the pickup cylinder 441 to the desired position. The pickup gripper 442 is connected to the output end of the pickup cylinder 441, and the piston movement of the pickup cylinder 441 directly drives the opening and closing action of the pickup gripper 442.

[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
