[0002] The headrest is typically attached to the top of the car seat back via a mounting rod at its bottom. The car seat back has a guide sleeve fixed inside, and the mounting rod is inserted into the guide sleeve. A button is installed inside the top of the guide sleeve via a wire clip. The protruding part of the button is engaged in a slot on the mounting rod by the elastic force of the wire clip, which facilitates the fixing of the mounting rod and the headrest. By pulling or pushing the button, the engaging mechanism can be separated from the mounting rod, making it easy to disassemble the headrest.
[0003] However, because the wire snap ring itself has a certain elasticity, tools such as snap ring pliers are needed to squeeze the wire snap ring in order to install both ends of the wire snap ring inside the seat guide sleeve and between the buttons. The operation is unchanged, which makes it inconvenient to automatically assemble the wire snap ring and reduces the installation efficiency of the wire snap ring.
[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides an automatic assembly device for headrest steel wire retaining springs. Utility Model Content

The assembly mechanism 8 includes a mounting box 13, a clamping plate 15, and a push plate 18. The mounting box 13 is slidably installed inside the U-shaped seat 6 via a first electric push rod 7. A sliding groove 14 is symmetrically opened inside one end of the mounting box 13. One end of the clamping plate 15 is symmetrically slidably installed inside the top and bottom sliding grooves 14. The top and bottom clamping plates 15 are... A limiting groove 17 is provided on one side of the guide rod 10. The front end of the guide rod 10 is rotatably mounted with a limiting plate 21 via a torsion spring shaft. The front end of the guide rod 10 is positioned between the clamping plates 15. The guide rod 10 can guide and limit the wire snap ring 20, allowing the wire snap ring 20 to move closer to and make contact with the limiting plate 21 while containing the guide rod 10. At the same time, the limiting grooves 17 at the top and bottom can be adjusted between the mounting box 13 and the clamping plate 15 to facilitate clamping the wire snap ring 20 through the limiting grooves 17. Furthermore, by adjusting the movement of the assembly mechanism 8, the wire snap ring 20 can be removed from the guide rod 10, facilitating automatic material handling and assembly of the wire snap ring 20. This improves the assembly efficiency of the wire snap ring 20 and enhances its practicality.
[0026] In this embodiment, a guide groove 11 is provided inside the top end of the guide rail 2. A screw 12 is rotatably mounted inside the guide groove 11. A servo motor 3 is fixedly mounted at the front end of the guide rail 2. The output shaft of the servo motor 3 is fixedly connected to the front end of the screw 12. A slider is fixedly provided at the bottom end of the slide block 5. The slider is slidably mounted inside the guide groove 11.

The servo motor 3 and screw 12 can adjust the longitudinal movement of the slide block 5, which facilitates the subsequent adjustment of the assembly mechanism 8 in the front and back directions.
[0027] In this embodiment, the first electric push rod 7 is fixedly installed on the outer side of one end of the U-shaped base 6. The output rod of the first electric push rod 7 is fixedly connected to the mounting box 13. Fixing holes 4 are opened inside both ends of the base 1.

The output rod of the second electric push rod 16 is fixedly connected to one end of the clamping plate 15. The first electric push rod 7 can drive the mounting box 13 and the clamping plate 15 to move towards the wire snap ring 20, so that the clamping plate 15 moves to the top and bottom of the wire snap ring 20. The second electric push rod 16 can drive the clamping plate 15 to move closer to the wire snap ring 20, and clamp and limit the wire snap ring 20 through the limiting groove 17. The third electric push rod 19 can push the push plate 18 to squeeze the wire snap ring 20, so that the two ends of the wire snap ring 20 move closer to each other under the action of the limiting groove 17, which facilitates the subsequent insertion of the two ends of the wire snap ring 20 into the internal mounting holes of the seat guide sleeve, and facilitates the automatic assembly of the wire snap ring 20.
[0028] In this embodiment, the rear end of the guide rod 10 is arc-shaped, and a U-shaped bracket 9 is fixedly provided on one side of the guide rod 10. The U-shaped bracket 9 is located on one side of the wire snap ring 20. Fixing holes 4 are symmetrically opened inside the bottom end of the bracket 9. The guide rod 10 can guide and transport the wire snap ring 20. The U-shaped bracket 9 makes it convenient to install the guide rod 10 on one side of the assembly mechanism 8, which facilitates the subsequent removal of the wire snap ring 20.
[0029] When using this automatic assembly device for headrest wire snap rings, the base 1 and the U-shaped bracket 9 are fixed by the fixing holes 4 and bolts. The bracket 9 drives the guide rod 10 closer to the assembly mechanism 8. The cross-sectional shape of the guide rod 10 can be set according to the shape of the wire snap ring 20, so that the guide rod 10 can limit and guide the wire snap ring 20. A vibration motor is installed at the upper end of the bracket 9, so that the wire snap rings 20 on the guide rod 10 are concentrated and moved closer to its front end. The frontmost wire snap ring 20 is in contact with the limiting plate 21. A placement bracket can be installed on the front side of the bracket 9 for holding the seat guide sleeve, and the mounting holes on the seat guide sleeve are aligned with the two ends of the wire snap ring 20. The servo motor 3 and its associated circuit drive the screw 12 to rotate inside the guide groove 11. The screw connection between the screw 12 and the slider causes the slide block 5 to move back and forth on the top of the guide rail 2, bringing the assembly mechanism 8 closer to the front end of the guide rod 10. The first electric push rod 7 and its associated circuit push the mounting box 13 to move inside the U-shaped seat 6. Simultaneously, the second electric push rod 16 and its associated circuit drive the clamping plate 15 to slide towards the top and bottom of the slide groove 14, increasing the distance between the two clamping plates 15. The mounting box 13 moves the clamping plate 15 to the top and bottom of the foremost wire clip 20. The rear side of one end of the clamping plate 15 opens... An inclined surface is provided. A second electric push rod 16 and its associated circuitry can move the clamping plates 15 closer together. The inclined surface presses against the rear wire retainer 20, causing it to separate from the frontmost wire retainer 20. The frontmost wire retainer 20 can then enter the limiting groove 17. A servo motor 3, its associated circuitry, screw 12, slider, and guide groove 11 move the slide block 5 forward, removing the wire retainer 20 from the guide rod 10. The two ends of the wire retainer 20 are aligned with the mounting holes on the seat guide sleeve. A third electric push rod 19 and its associated circuitry push the push plate 18, which slides within the limiting groove 17. The wire snap ring 20 is then compressed, causing its two ends to approach each other under the compression of the limiting groove 17 and align with the mounting holes on the seat guide sleeve. Simultaneously, the first electric push rod 7 and its matching circuit push the mounting box 13 and clamping plate 15 closer to the mounting holes on the seat guide sleeve, inserting both ends of the wire snap ring 20 into the mounting holes on the seat guide sleeve. The push plate 18 continues to compress the wire snap ring 20 until it is completely installed on the seat guide sleeve. The clamping plate 15, mounting box 13, and other assembly mechanisms 8 are then reset, and the above operation is repeated. This facilitates the automatic assembly of the wire snap ring 20, improves the assembly efficiency of the wire snap ring 20, and has high practicality.
