[0018] like Figure 1-5 As shown, an assembly device for vacuum bottle shoulder sleeves includes a vibrating material tray 1, a receiving platform 2, a conveyor belt 3, a transfer mechanism 4, and an assembly mechanism 5. Specifically, there are two vibrating material trays 1, one for accommodating the left shoulder sleeve 10 and the other for accommodating the right shoulder sleeve 20. There are two receiving platforms 2 located at the unloading point of the vibrating material tray 1. The conveyor belt 3 is located between the two receiving platforms 2. The transfer mechanism 4 is used to transfer the left shoulder sleeve 10 and the right shoulder sleeve 20 from the receiving platform 2 to the conveyor belt 3. There are two assembly mechanisms 5 located on both sides of the conveyor belt 3. The assembly mechanism 5 includes a first cylinder 501 and a pusher 502. The cylinder is fixed to the outside of the conveyor belt 3, and the pusher 502 is fixed to the piston rod of the first cylinder 501. The pusher 502 has an arc-shaped groove 503, which is adapted to the shape of the left shoulder sleeve 10 and the right shoulder sleeve 20.

[0019] In this embodiment, the transfer mechanism 4 includes a mounting frame 401, a lead screw slide 402, two second cylinders 403, and two gripper cylinders 404. The mounting frame 401 is fixed above the conveyor belt 3, and the lead screw slide 402 is fixed on the top of the mounting frame 401. The lead screw of the lead screw slide 402 is a forward and reverse threaded lead screw and has two sliders. The two second cylinders 403 are respectively fixed on the two sliders, and the two gripper cylinders 404 are respectively fixed on the piston shafts of the two second cylinders 403. The lead screw slide 402 drives the gripper cylinders 404 to move left and right, and the second cylinders 403 drive the gripper cylinders 404 to move up and down, thereby clamping and transferring the left shoulder sleeve 10 and the right shoulder sleeve 20. The forward and reverse threaded lead screw can drive the two sliders to move synchronously in opposite directions or in opposite directions, which facilitates the simultaneous transfer of the left shoulder sleeve 10 and the right shoulder sleeve 20.

[0020] In this embodiment, two first infrared sensors 6 and two second infrared sensors 7 are also included. The two first infrared sensors 6 are respectively fixed on the two receiving platforms 2, and the two second infrared sensors 7 are respectively fixed on the conveyor belt 3 and located at the front end of the assembly mechanism 5. Both the first infrared sensors 6 and the second infrared sensors 7 serve a sensing function. When the first infrared sensor 6 senses a shoulder sleeve on the receiving platform 2, the transmission signal controls the lead screw slide 402 to drive the second cylinder 403 and the gripper cylinder 404 to move, thereby transferring the shoulder sleeve; when the second infrared sensor 7 senses a shoulder sleeve approaching, the transmission signal controls the first cylinder 501 to drive the pusher 502 to move, thereby pushing the two shoulder sleeves to move towards each other and lock them together.

[0021] In this embodiment, two rejection mechanisms 8 are also included. Each rejection mechanism 8 includes a support frame 801, a crossbeam 802, a camera 803, and a jet nozzle 804. The support frame 801 is fixed to the outside of the vibrating material tray 1. The crossbeam 802 is adjustablely mounted on the support frame 801. The camera 803 is fixed to the crossbeam 802 and is tilted. The jet nozzle 804 is fixed to the vibrating material tray 1 and is connected to an air compressor. The capture center of the camera 803 is aligned with the jet nozzle 804. The camera 803 can capture the left shoulder sleeve 10 or right shoulder sleeve 20 with an unqualified posture. The left shoulder sleeve 10 or right shoulder sleeve 20 with the thread 805 facing upward and the arc outer wall facing outward is a qualified posture. When the posture of the left shoulder sleeve 10 or right shoulder sleeve 20 is unqualified, the jet nozzle 804 will spray gas to blow the left shoulder sleeve 10 or right shoulder sleeve 20 back into the bottom of the vibrating material tray 1 for reloading.

[0022] In this embodiment, the rejection mechanism 8 also includes a thread 805 and two nuts 806. The thread 805 is disposed on the support frame 801, and the nuts 806 are connected to the support frame 801 through the thread 805. The two nuts 806 clamp the crossbeam 802 from above and below. When it is necessary to adjust the position of the crossbeam 802 (camera 803), it is only necessary to loosen the two nuts 806 to adjust the height or horizontal angle of the crossbeam 802 (camera 803).

[0023] In this embodiment, a notch is provided on the vibrating material tray 1, and a connecting part 101 is provided in the notch. The jet head 804 is fixed on the connecting part 101. The bottom surface of the connecting part 101 is inclined and tilted towards the center of the vibrating material tray 1. The inclined bottom design of the connecting part 101, in conjunction with the jet head 804, facilitates the left shoulder sleeve 10 or the right shoulder sleeve 20 to return to the bottom of the vibrating material tray 1.

[0024] This utility model relates to an assembly device for a vacuum bottle shoulder sleeve, and its working principle is explained in conjunction with the accompanying drawings: First, the left shoulder sleeve 10 and the right shoulder sleeve 20 are poured into the left and right vibrating material trays 1 respectively. Under the action of the vibrating material trays 1, the left shoulder sleeve 10 and the right shoulder sleeve 20 are automatically fed from the vibrating material trays 1 and fall onto the receiving platform 2. When the first infrared sensor 6 senses that the left shoulder sleeve 10 and the right shoulder sleeve 20 are on the receiving platform 2, the transfer mechanism 4 transfers the left shoulder sleeve 10 and the right shoulder sleeve 20 synchronously onto the conveyor belt 3. When the second infrared sensor 7 senses that a shoulder sleeve is approaching, the transmission signal controls the first cylinder 501 to drive the pusher 502 to move, thereby pushing the left shoulder sleeve 10 and the right shoulder sleeve 20 to move towards each other, so that they are locked together, completing the assembly of the shoulder sleeves.

[0025] It should be noted that all standard parts used in this application can be purchased from the market, and irregular parts can be customized according to the description and drawings. The specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional methods such as bolts, rivets, and welding that are mature in the prior art. The machinery, parts and equipment adopt conventional models in the prior art, and the circuit connection adopts conventional connection methods in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here.
