These components solve the problem of low efficiency in manual assembly and the inability to detect whether the depth of the assembled product is qualified, thus making it difficult to guarantee product quality in existing technologies. It is understandable that the aforementioned components can also be used to improve product assembly quality.

[0024] In this embodiment, the assembly components are installed on the frame 101, thereby solving the problem that the prior art has low efficiency due to manual assembly and the inability to detect whether the depth of the assembled product is qualified, thus making it difficult to guarantee the quality of the product.

[0025] The turntable 102 is mounted on the top of the frame 101, the feeding component is mounted on the top of the frame 101, the detection mounting frame 103 is fixedly connected to the frame 101 and located on the side of the frame 101 near the turntable 102, the lower slider 104 is slidably mounted on the detection mounting frame 103, the upper slider 105 is slidably mounted on the detection mounting frame 103, the positioning block 106 is fixedly mounted on the lower slider 104, the positioning cylinder 107 is mounted on the detection mounting frame 103, and the output end of the positioning cylinder 107 is fixedly connected to the lower slider 104.

The displacement sensor 109 is mounted on the slider. The extension and retraction of the detection cylinder 108 will drive the upper slider 105 and the displacement sensor 109 to move. The center depth of the finished product is detected by the displacement sensor 109 to determine whether the product is qualified. The pressing component performs the pre-pressing work on the product. By setting a depth detection station, the center depth of the finished product can be detected to ensure the product assembly quality. This solves the problem that the existing technology is difficult to guarantee product quality due to the low efficiency of manual assembly and the inability to detect whether the depth after assembly is qualified.

[0026] Secondly, the ceramic ring pressing part 112 is installed on the top of the frame 101 and located on the side of the frame 101 near the turntable 102; the photoelectric sensor 113 is installed on the top of the frame 101 and located on the side of the frame 101 near the ceramic ring pressing part 112; the rough pressing part 114 is installed on the frame 101 and located on the side of the frame 101 near the photoelectric sensor 113; the fine pressing part 115 is installed on the frame 101 and located between the rough pressing part 114 and the detection mounting frame 103. The ceramic ring pressing part 112 is equivalent to the first station, located near the outside of the turntable 102, and includes a conveyor mold lifting cylinder 118, a conveyor mold lateral movement cylinder 119, a core-inserting ceramic ring conveying pipe 120, a ceramic ring riveting cylinder 121, and a ceramic ring... The conveying mold 122 and the ferrule ceramic ring detection fiber 123 are used to press the ceramic ferrule ring into the ferrule head. The photoelectric sensor 113 is mounted on the frame 101 via a bracket, which is equivalent to the second station. It is used to detect whether the ceramic ferrule ring has been pressed into the ferrule head. If it is not pressed in, an alarm is triggered. If it is pressed in, it waits to enter the next station. The coarse pressing section 114 is equivalent to the third station. It includes a trimmed metal riveting lifting cylinder 124, an air pipe connector 125, a trimmed metal suction structure 126, and a riveting suction structure transverse cylinder 127. It is used for coarse pressing of the trimmed metal. The fine pressing section 115 is equivalent to the fourth station. It includes a fine pressing servo motor 128, a fine pressing screw 129, a pressure sensor 130, and a fine pressing mold 131. It is used for fine pressing of the trimmed metal. Through the pressing components, the pressing assembly of each component is realized.

[0027] Meanwhile, the ceramic ferrule feeding vibratory feeder 110 is installed on the top of the frame 101; the trimmed metal feeding vibratory feeder 111 is installed on the top of the frame 101; the ceramic ring pressing part 112 is connected to the ceramic ferrule feeding vibratory feeder 110 through the ferrule ceramic ring conveying pipe 120; the ceramic ferrule is transported to the ferrule ceramic ring conveying pipe 120 through the ceramic ferrule feeding vibratory feeder 110 and falls to the corresponding position, thereby realizing the feeding of the ceramic ferrule; when the trimmed metal feeding vibratory feeder 111 feeds to the corresponding position and is sensed by the fiber optic sensor, the riveting and suction structure transverse cylinder 127 is in the retracted state; the trimmed metal riveting lifting cylinder 124 and the riveting and suction structure transverse cylinder 127 move downward and suck up the trimmed metal by air pressure through the pressing sleeve; the ceramic ferrule feeding vibratory feeder 110 and the trimmed metal feeding vibratory feeder 111 thus realize the feeding of the ceramic ferrule and the trimmed metal.

[0028] In addition, the touch screen 116 is mounted on the frame 101. Through the touch screen 116, the operator can control the assembly machine to perform the actions of each workstation according to the preset process. The operator can also pause the operation of the equipment when needed. At the same time, it is also convenient for the operator to set parameters. The touch screen 116 makes it easy for the operator to operate the machine.

[0029] Finally, the workstation support plate 117 is fixedly connected to the frame 101 and is located on the side of the frame 101 near the turntable 102. The workstation support plate 117 is fixed to the frame 101 by bolts, which can provide support for the operator's hands. Through the workstation support plate 117, the comfort and stability of the operator's operation are improved.

[0030] In this embodiment, the workflow of this application is as follows: First, the ferrule head is manually placed into the corresponding fixture on the turntable 102, and the start button is pressed. Then, the ferrule ceramic ring is transported to the ferrule ceramic ring conveying pipe 120 via the ceramic ferrule ring feeding vibratory feeder 110 and falls to the corresponding position. When the ferrule ceramic ring detection fiber 123 detects that the ferrule ceramic ring has reached the designated position and the start button is pressed, the ferrule ceramic ring will be sent to the corresponding positioning mold via the conveying mold transverse cylinder 119. When the start button is pressed, the conveyor mold lifting cylinder 118 will descend to the designated position to await pressing. Once all previous actions are complete, the ceramic ring riveting cylinder 121 will press the ferrule ceramic ring into the ferrule head. After pressing, it will rise. Then, when the start button is pressed again, the photoelectric sensor 113 will detect whether the ceramic ferrule ring has been pressed into the ferrule head. If it is not pressed in, an alarm will sound; if it is pressed in, it will wait to proceed to the next station. Then, when the start button is pressed again, the trimmed metal will be fed to the corresponding position via the trimmed metal feeding vibratory feeder 111. When the position is detected by the fiber optic sensor, the riveting and suction structure lateral cylinder 127 is in the retracted state. The trimmed metal riveting lifting cylinder 124 and the riveting and suction structure lateral cylinder 127 move downwards to lift the trimmed metal by air pressure through the pressing sleeve. Pressing the start button will press the trimmed metal into the insert head through the trimmed metal riveting lifting cylinder 124 to achieve coarse pressing of the trimmed metal. After that, pressing the start button will cause the fine pressing servo motor 128 to drive the pressure sensor 130 and the fine pressing mold 131 to move downwards through the fine pressing screw 129. When the pressure sensor 130 reaches the set value, the pressing will stop and wait for the next action. After that, pressing the start button again will cause the positioning cylinder 107 to retract and position the product in the positioning block 106 when the product is in place. After positioning, the detection cylinder 108 will descend and the displacement sensor 109 will sense the product depth. If it is qualified, it will pass; if it is not qualified, an alarm will be triggered. Finally, the person will remove the product and put it into a new insert head to perform the next action.

[0031] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely one or more preferred embodiments of this application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this application. Those skilled in the art can understand that implementing all or part of the above embodiments and making equivalent changes in accordance with the claims of this application still fall within the scope of this application.
