[0002] During the assembly of a steel watch band, the beads need to be spliced ​​together front to back, and then steel pins or hairpins are inserted to secure them. The watch band has multiple beads, and after two beads are inserted, steel pins or hairpins need to be assembled. Each subsequent bead is installed, and then assembly is performed again until the watch band is fully assembled. In the past, the beads were spliced ​​together by hand and then steel pins or hairpins were inserted for assembly. This process was inefficient, prone to errors, and could not meet production requirements. Utility Model Content

[0006] In a further description of this utility model, three blocks are provided, including one main block and two secondary blocks; the two secondary blocks are provided on the left side of the front and rear ends of the main block.

[0007] Further description of this utility model: the flexible connection assembly includes a U-shaped seat, a slide, and a spring; the U-shaped seat includes a mounting plate and a front side plate and a rear side plate fixed at the front and rear ends of the mounting plate; the mounting plate is fixed to the power output end of the second Y-axis drive device; the slide is slidably connected to the mounting plate through a guide rail pair; the spring is connected between the slide and the front side plate; the front end of the limiting plate is fixed above the slide.

[0008] Further description of this utility model: the limiting device further includes a pressing assembly; the pressing assembly includes a connecting seat, a third Y-axis driving device, a second Z-axis cylinder, and an upper pressing block; the connecting seat includes two support plates and a top plate; the lower ends of the two support plates are fixedly connected to the bottom plate; the top plate is fixed to the upper ends of the two support plates; the top plate is located above the limiting plate; the third Y-axis driving device is mounted on the top plate and its power output end is connected to the second Z-axis cylinder; the power output end of the second Z-axis cylinder is connected to the upper pressing block.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0010] The Y-axis drive module controls the mounting base to transport the beads to the bead receiving station. The beads are fed to the rear of the support base, positioned between the pusher block and the stop block. The stop block is in a raised position, limiting the bead's movement. The first Z-axis cylinder controls the stop block to move downwards, releasing the bead's limitation. The first Y-axis drive device controls the pusher block to move forward, pushing the bead forward until it reaches the limiting plate, where it is stopped. The limiting device is equipped with a flexible connecting component that provides backward elastic pressure to the limiting plate, preventing hard contact during pushing and improving protection against damage to the beads or equipment parts. For each bead fed, the second Y-axis drive device controls the limiting plate to move forward by the width of one bead, while the first Y-axis drive device controls the pusher block to move backwards. The first Z-axis cylinder controls the stop block to reset upwards, preventing the bead from rebounding and limiting the rear side of the bead. The second bead is then fed again between the push block and the stop block, and the pushing process is repeated to push the bead behind the first bead. After the two beads are fed and positioned, the Y-axis drive module controls the mounting base to be transported to the assembly station for the assembly of the steel needles or hair clips. After assembly, the bead is moved to the bead feeding station to prepare for receiving the third bead. This process of receiving beads and assembling steel needles or hair clips continues until the watchband assembly is complete. This design structure can sequentially receive beads and position them for assembly as steel needles or hair clips, and can control the position of the beads in real time to achieve alternating operation of receiving and assembling, greatly improving work efficiency and assembly accuracy.

The Y-axis drive module 21 is used to control the front and rear positions of the mounting base 22 to achieve switching between different work positions. The Y-axis drive module controls the mounting base 22 to bead receiving work position for bead receiving. The beads are fed to the rear position of the support base. At this time, the beads are located between the pusher block 253 and the stop block 242. The stop block 242 is in a lifting state to limit the movement of the beads. The first Z-axis cylinder 241 controls... The stop block 242 moves downward to release the restriction on the bead. The first Y-axis drive device 252 controls the pusher block 253 to move forward. The pusher block 253 pushes the bead forward, pushing it to the limiting plate 264, where it is limited. The protruding part of the bead extends into the positioning groove 2641 of the limiting plate 264 and is positioned by the positioning groove 2641. The limiting device 26 is provided with a flexible connecting component 263 to provide backward elastic pressure to the limiting plate 264, preventing the bead from being pushed backward. During material feeding, hard contact is used to improve the protective effect and prevent damage to the beads or equipment parts.

After the two beads are fed and positioned, the Y-axis drive module 21 controls the mounting base 22 to transport to the assembly station for the assembly of steel needles or hair clips. After the assembly is completed, it is moved to the bead feeding station to prepare to receive the third bead. The bead receiving and steel needle or hair clip assembly are carried out in a cycle until the watch strap is assembled. After the assembly is completed, the Y-axis drive module 21 controls the mounting base 22 to transport to the unloading station for unloading. ;
