[0034] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0035] Example 1:

[0036] This embodiment provides an assembly device for paper filter elements, including:

[0037] Paper core feeding device 1, paper core clamping device 2, first multi-station rotary table 3, flipping device 4, second multi-station rotary table 5, upper cover feeding device 6, lower cover feeding device 7 and output device 8;

[0038] The first multi-station rotary table 3 includes a first station 9, a second station 10 and a third station 11;

[0039] The first station 9 corresponds to the discharge position of the upper cover feeding device 6. The first multi-station rotary disk 3 rotates to move the upper cover to the second station 10, which corresponds to the output position of the paper core clamping device 2.

[0040] The paper core feeding device 1 supplies paper cores to the paper core clamping device 2. The paper core clamping device 2 moves the paper cores on the paper core feeding device 1 to the second station 10 for assembly with the upper cover. The paper core clamping device 2 can also press the paper cores slightly towards the upper cover to better assemble them. Then, through the rotation of the first multi-station rotary disk 3, the paper cores reach the third station 11.

[0041] The second multi-station rotary table 5 includes a fifth station 13, a sixth station 14 and a seventh station 15. The fifth station 13 corresponds to the discharge position of the lower cover feeding device 7.

[0042] The second multi-station rotary table 5 rotates to move the lower cover of the fifth station 13 to the sixth station 14.

[0043] The sixth station 14 corresponds to the clamping position of the flipping device 4. The flipping device 4 clamps the paper core, flips it 180°, and then moves it down to install it on the lower cover. The paper core can be slightly pressed towards the lower cover to make the two better assembled. Then, the second multi-station rotary disk 5 rotates to move the filter element (upper cover, paper core and lower cover) assembled in the sixth station 14 to the seventh station 15. The output device 8 pushes the filter element out from the seventh station 15 and collects it manually or mechanically.

[0044] It should be noted that the top and bottom covers need to be glued together before being placed into the feeding device. The glue is used to bond the top cover, paper core, and bottom cover together.

[0045] The upper cover feeding device 6 and the lower cover feeding device 7 have the same structure.

[0046] The upper (lower) cover feeding device includes:

[0047] The feeding trough 20 is provided with several continuously arranged upper covers (lower covers). The feeding trough 20 is provided with a trough body that runs through the top and bottom, and a conveyor belt is provided on each side of the bottom of the trough body, with a gap between the two conveyor belts.

[0048] A feeding push rod is installed above the end of the feeding trough 20. The feeding push rod can be moved in the Y and Z directions by a linear cylinder.

[0049] The feeding limit device has two parts, which are set on the rear side of the feeding push rod in the Y direction. The feeding limit device includes a feeding limit rod, which is set in the tank body and can be moved up and down by a cylinder.

[0050] The first fiber optic probe for limiting the material feeding is used to detect the upper cover (lower cover) on the material feeding limiting device and can control the descent of the material feeding limiting rod that is far away from the material feeding push rod.

[0051] The second fiber optic probe for limiting the loading is used to detect the upper cover (lower cover) in the workstation and can control the loading limit rod near the loading push rod to descend.

[0052] When the first fiber optic probe of the feeding limit detects the upper cover (lower cover) and the second fiber optic probe of the feeding limit does not detect the upper cover (lower cover), the feeding limit rod away from the feeding push rod is in the raised state, and the feeding limit rod close to the feeding push rod is in the lowered state.

[0053] When the second fiber optic probe of the feeding limit does not detect the upper cover (lower cover), and the first fiber optic probe of the feeding limit detects the upper cover (lower cover), the feeding limit rod away from the feeding push rod is in a descending state, and the feeding limit rod close to the feeding push rod is in an ascending state.

[0054] The upper cover (lower cover) is placed on a conveyor belt, which is driven by a ring belt and two drive motors to transport the upper cover (lower cover) towards the first (second) multi-station rotary table. A feeding push rod is set above the end of the feeding trough 20. The feeding push rod can move in the Y and Z directions by a linear cylinder. When the feeding push rod needs to push the upper cover (lower cover), the feeding push rod moves in the opposite direction of Z first. When the lower end of the feeding push rod and the upper cover (lower cover) are in the same Y direction at the same time, the feeding push rod pushes the upper cover (lower cover) towards the corresponding station of the first (second) multi-station rotary table along the Y direction. The conveyor belt is set with gaps to prevent the fiber optic probe from shining on the conveyor belt and causing misjudgment.

[0055] It should be noted that when neither the first nor the second sensor of the loading limit mechanism detects the upper (lower) cover, the loading limit lever near the loading push rod is in the raised position.
