[0017] This utility model discloses an assembly device for an on-board temperature sensor, combined with... Figures 1-2 As shown, the device includes a feeding device 1 and a turntable mechanism 2 placed at the discharge end of the feeding device 1. The turntable mechanism 2 includes a turntable and a contouring fixture placed on the turntable. The turntable is circumferentially arranged with a loading station, a pressing station, a welding station, an inspection station, and a unloading station. The loading station is used to receive housing parts from the feeding device. In this invention, a second loading station is also provided between the loading station and the pressing station. At the second loading station, the original part is placed into the housing part manually. Then, it passes through the pressing station, the welding station, and the inspection station in sequence.

[0018] The loading station, pressing station, welding station, inspection station and unloading station are equipped with a dispensing device, a pre-pressing device 3, an ultrasonic welding device 4, a PIN pin height detection device 5 and an unloading device 6 respectively. A material box is also provided on one side of the unloading device 6.

[0019] The feeding device includes a vibratory feeder assembly 11 and a connecting assembly placed at the discharge end of the vibratory feeder assembly 11. A transfer assembly is provided above the inclined conveyor assembly. The housing component is discharged from the vibratory feeder assembly, enters the connecting assembly via the conveyor belt 12, and the transfer assembly transfers the product in the connecting assembly and places it into the contour tooling on the turntable.

[0020] The connecting assembly includes a transfer guide rail, on which a transfer block 14 is mounted. One side of the transfer block 14 is connected to a transfer cylinder 13 located on one side of the transfer guide rail. Two transfer slots are arranged side-by-side on the transfer block 14. The transfer block is positioned at the discharge end of the conveyor belt 12 of the vibratory feeder assembly. The transfer block 14 reciprocates under the drive of the transfer cylinder 13, and its direction of movement is horizontal and perpendicular to the conveyor belt's transmission direction. The material transfer assembly includes a transfer line 16 and a clamping cylinder 14 mounted on the transfer line 16. The upper end of the clamping cylinder 14 is connected to upper and lower cylinders 15. The upper and lower cylinders 15 move horizontally on the transfer line, and the upper and lower cylinders 15 drive the clamping cylinder 14 to move vertically up and down. In this embodiment, the transfer line can be a conventional linear motor or other types.

[0021] The dispensing device includes a dispensing assembly 17, the upper end of which is connected to another upper and lower cylinder, driving it to achieve the up and down movement required for dispensing. After dispensing, the product rotates to the second loading station, where the operator places the sensing element at the dispensing point of the product. The turntable mechanism continues to rotate to the next station, where the sensing element and the housing are pre-pressed.

[0022] The pre-compression device 3 includes a frame 31 and upper and lower guide rails 32 placed on one side of the frame 31. A second upper and lower cylinder is arranged above the frame 31, and the cylinder shaft of the second upper and lower cylinder is connected to a pre-compression assembly arranged on the upper and lower guide rails 32. The pre-compression assembly includes a main slider placed on the upper and lower guide rails. A guide rail is arranged on one side of the main slider, and an auxiliary pressure block is mounted on the guide rail. A pressure rod 33 is vertically arranged on the auxiliary pressure block, and elastic components 34 are arranged at both ends of the auxiliary pressure block. In this embodiment, the elastic component is a spring. The upper end of the spring is connected to a connecting rod placed on the auxiliary pressure block, and the lower end of the spring is connected to a connecting rod placed at the bottom of the main slider. The elastic component can play a buffering role during the pre-compression action. Since the product is a precision part, the buffering of the elastic component can avoid the risk of product damage that may be caused by the direct movement of the cylinder during pressing.

[0023] The welding device includes a frame and a welding cylinder mounted on the frame. A welding head is connected below the welding cylinder, and the welding cylinder drives the welding head to move up and down to weld the product. The PIN height detection device 5 uses a probe to detect the height. A cylinder is connected above the probe, and the cylinder drives the probe into the product to detect the product height. After detection, the product is rotated to the unloading station by a turntable mechanism, and the unloading device 6 removes the product and places it in a material box.
