[0020] The working principle of this utility model:

[0021] The first conveying mechanism 1 conveys a row of electrical connectors to the withstand voltage testing mechanism 2. After the first detection switch detects that the electrical connectors are in place, the first sliding seat drive device 10 drives the sliding seat 9 to move down. The sliding seat 9 drives the withstand voltage test needle 12 to move down through the test needle mounting seat 11 and insert it into the test hole of each electrical connector. The withstand voltage tester performs a withstand voltage insulation test and sends the test result signal to the controller 6. If the test result is unqualified, the controller 6 controls the defective product pusher drive device 13 to drive the defective product pusher 14 to push this row of electrical connectors to the right into the defective product channel 15. If the test result is qualified, the controller 6 controls the good product pusher drive device to drive the good product pusher to push this row of electrical connectors forward. At the same time, the second conveying mechanism 4 transports the prepared box to the left to the boxing position 23. The second proximity switch detects whether the box has reached the boxing position 23. Then, the robot arm 3 uses the clamping mechanism 17 to... The electrical connectors are installed in the box. One box can hold several rows of electrical connectors. After one box is installed, the robot arm 3 moves the camera 18 to the top of the box to take a picture. The camera 18 transmits the captured image to the vision inspection device 7. The vision inspection device 7 recognizes the image and calculates the number of electrical connectors in the box. If the number is accurate, it sends a signal to the controller. The controller controls the second conveying mechanism 4 to continue transporting the box to the left to the certificate placement mechanism 5. The third proximity switch detects whether the box has reached the certificate placement mechanism 5. Then, the suction cup lifting drive device 21 drives the suction cup device 22 to move down to pick up the certificate in the certificate storage box 19 and then rises. The suction cup translation drive device 20 drives the suction cup device 22 to the top of the box. The suction cup lifting drive device 21 drives the suction cup device 22 to move down again. The suction cup device 22 releases and places the certificate into the box, completing the boxing process. If the number is inaccurate, no certificate is placed.
