[0002] When manufacturing charging plugs, PCB boards are typically assembled inside a housing and then packaged. Existing assembly methods generally involve semi-automatic assembly equipment or purely manual assembly. Both semi-automatic and purely manual assembly can only assemble one plug at a time, resulting in low assembly efficiency and failing to meet the needs of large-scale production. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings and deficiencies of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a charging plug shell front and back detection and PCB insertion mechanism.

[0005] When the shells held by the shell flipping mechanism are all in the positive direction, the shells held by the shell flipping mechanism are transported to the PCB board insertion mechanism by the handling robot and fixed. The PCB board insertion mechanism pushes the PCB board into the shell.
[0006] As an improvement of the charging plug shell front and back detection and PCB shell insertion mechanism of this utility model, the photo detection module includes a servo screw module and a camera. The camera is mounted on a camera mounting plate, and the camera mounting plate is slidably connected to the servo screw module by a slider.
[0007] The servo screw module includes a module profile, on which a transmission screw and a servo motor are provided. The servo motor is connected to the transmission screw via a coupling, and the transmission screw is connected to the camera mounting plate via a screw nut.
[0008] The servo screw module controls the movement of the camera, and the camera takes a picture to detect the front and back of the casing every time it moves to a different position. The camera is a Keyence smart camera.
[0009] As an improvement to the charging plug shell reversal detection and PCB insertion mechanism of this utility model, the barcode reader module includes an X-axis guide rod, a Y-axis guide rod, and a Z-axis guide rod.

A push plate is provided on the first cylinder mounting base, and the push plate corresponds to the PCB board positioning groove. The PCB is pushed into the shell at two speeds: a slow speed is used when the PCB first enters to ensure smooth entry into the shell, and a high speed is used after entering the shell to ensure that the PCB board can be secured by the spring clips.
[0013] As an improvement to the charging plug shell front and back detection and PCB insertion mechanism of this utility model, the speed at which the first-stage cylinder pushes the PCB board into the shell is slower than the speed at which the second-stage cylinder pushes the PCB board into the shell. After the first-stage cylinder slowly pushes the PCB board into the shell, the second-stage cylinder quickly pushes the PCB board completely into the shell.
