Description

A self-locking conductive component for a power socket and its automated assembly line Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of power supply technology, and in particular to a self-locking conductive component for a power socket and its automated assembly line. Background Technology

[0002] A power socket is a device used to connect to alternating current supplied by mains electricity, enabling household appliances and portable small devices to be powered on. A power socket has a female connector with a slot or recess, allowing a power plug with a rod-shaped or copper plate-shaped protrusion to be inserted. Power is then conducted to the appliance through a conductive component inside the socket. This conductive component is typically assembled from copper sheets, possessing good conductivity and ductility. Currently, with increasing demands for electrical safety, existing conductive components usually incorporate a self-locking mechanism to prevent easy energization between the copper sheet and the power plug or other metal objects.

[0003] Patent document CN104064918A discloses a self-locking safety power socket, mainly composed of a core body, a compression spring, a rotary ratchet self-locking mechanism, an upper shell, and a lower shell. The core body has a plug hole, a current-carrying spring, a self-lubricating wedge block, a moving contact, and a travel limit rod. The compression spring is installed at the axis of the core body. The core body can move up and down with limited range along its axis. The rotary ratchet self-locking mechanism consists of a rotating ratchet, a fixed ratchet, a central shaft, and the inner circular ratchet of the core body. After the plug is inserted, continued pressing or the action of the compression spring can unlock the core body, releasing it to an upward-facing use state, or lock the core body in a slightly downward-facing standby state. This invention has the functions of preventing the plug from disengaging due to uncertain external forces during use, preventing electric shock and short circuits caused by accidental insertion of metal objects into the plug, and provides high safety.

[0004] However, in actual use, the inventors found that some existing conductive components with self-locking functions become difficult to insert and remove after prolonged use, making them inconvenient to use. The connection stability after insertion is poor, and electric sparks are easily generated when the power plug is unlocked, posing a safety hazard. In addition, during the production process, the inventors found that some existing conductive components with self-locking functions have complex structures, making them difficult to automate and requiring manual assembly, resulting in low production efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by using a pushing member and a locking member to open and lock the two first spring contacts, facilitating the insertion and removal of the plug. When the plug is inserted, the first spring contacts, aided by a pressing member, clamp the plug, improving the stability of the connection. Simultaneously, the sliding pushing member abuts against the second spring contact to supply power, preventing sparks at the plug. Furthermore, the suspended second spring contact ensures that any sparks generated during power-on are suspended, enhancing safety. This solves the problems of difficult insertion and removal, poor connection stability, susceptibility to sparks, and complex structures in existing conductive components.

[0006] To address the above technical problems, the following technical solution is adopted: A self-locking conductive component for a power socket, comprising:

[0007] The socket body includes multiple mounting bases located at corresponding socket positions, two first spring pieces symmetrically arranged on the mounting bases and located on both sides of the socket, a pusher slidably disposed on the mounting base for pushing the two first spring pieces open, two pressers slidably disposed on the mounting base for pressing the two first spring pieces closed, a locking member slidably disposed on the mounting base for locking the two first spring pieces in the open state, and a second spring piece disposed at one end on the socket body and extending to the side of the pusher away from the first spring pieces for connecting the power supply line.

[0008] When the plug is inserted between the two first spring contacts through the socket, the plug forces the locking member and the pushing member to slide away from the first spring contacts. The pressing member presses the two first spring contacts against the plug and the pushing member, and the pushing member abuts against the second spring contact.

[0009] Preferably, the first spring includes a spring body connected to the plug, a bent portion formed at one end of the spring body and bent away from the pusher, a plug-in portion formed on the bent portion and inserted into the connecting groove on the mounting base, and a snap-in portion formed on the plug-in portion and engaging with the bent portion to lock the mounting base.

[0010] Preferably, the pushing member includes a pushing block slidably disposed on the mounting base, two sliding inclined surfaces respectively formed on the pushing block and abutting against the two bent portions, two sliding plates disposed on the pushing block and slidably connected to both sides of the sliding groove on the mounting base, a limiting portion formed on the sliding plate for limiting the pushing block from disengaging from the mounting base, and a first elastic member disposed on the mounting base for forcing the pushing block to push the two spring bodies open.

[0012] Preferably, the locking member includes a locking block slidably disposed on the mounting plate, a pushing ramp formed on the locking block and / or the pressing block, and a third elastic member disposed on the mounting plate and used to force the locking block to push the two pressing blocks away from the first spring sheet through the pushing ramp and then slide into the space between the two first spring sheets.

[0013] This application also provides an automated assembly line for assembling the aforementioned power socket self-locking conductive component, comprising:

[0014] The system includes a conveying mechanism, multiple support mechanisms for supporting the mounting base arranged at equal intervals along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism, a first mounting mechanism, a second mounting mechanism, and a detection mechanism disposed on the conveying mechanism. The first mounting mechanism is used to install the first spring and the pushing member on the mounting base. The second mounting mechanism is used to install the pressing member and the locking member on the mounting base. The detection mechanism is used to detect whether the first spring, the pushing member, the pressing member, and the locking member are installed in place.

[0015] The detection mechanism includes a clamping component and a pushing component disposed on the conveying mechanism. The clamping component is used to clamp the first spring and the pressing member on the mounting base, and the pushing component is used to push the pushing member and the locking member to slide.

[0016] Preferably, the first installation mechanism includes a first conveying assembly disposed outside the conveying mechanism for directional conveying of the first spring and the pusher, a first telescopic frame rotatably disposed on the conveying mechanism, a support seat disposed on the first telescopic frame, two grippers disposed on the support seat for clamping the first spring and the pusher, and a bending assembly disposed on the conveying mechanism. The bending assembly is used to bend a snap-fit ​​portion on the first spring installed in place and to bend a limiting portion on the pusher installed in place.

[0017] Preferably, the bending assembly includes a pressing block movably disposed within the conveying mechanism, a support block disposed on the pressing block and inserted into a groove in the mounting base to support two sliding plates on the pusher, a first arcuate structure formed between the pressing block and the support block to guide the two sliding plates to bend outward to form the limiting portion, a second arcuate structure formed on the pressing block to guide the two first spring pieces to bend outward to form the snap-fit ​​portion, and a pressing block movably disposed on the conveying mechanism to press the bent portion on the first spring piece.

[0018] Preferably, the clamping assembly includes a support frame movably disposed within the conveying mechanism and two sets of clamping plates that open and close on the support frame. The two sets of clamping plates are respectively used to clamp the two first spring pieces and the two mounting plates on the two pressing members.

[0019] The pushing assembly includes a first telescopic rod slidably disposed on the support frame and used to push the pushing member to slide between the two first spring pieces, a first sensor for detecting the thrust on the first telescopic rod, a second telescopic rod disposed on the conveying mechanism and having the same structure as the plug and used for insertion between the two first spring pieces, and a second sensor for detecting the thrust on the second telescopic rod.

[0020] Preferably, the second installation mechanism includes a second conveying assembly disposed outside the conveying mechanism for directional conveying of the assembled pressing member and the locking member, a second telescopic frame rotatably disposed on the conveying mechanism, and a plurality of support plates movably disposed on the second telescopic frame and openable and closed radially. The support plates are used to force the pressing block on the pressing member and the locking block on the locking member to separate from each other.

[0021] The support mechanism includes two U-shaped plates movably mounted on the conveying mechanism for clamping the mounting base, and a positioning plate formed on both sides of the two U-shaped plates for positioning the mounting plate on the pressing member.

[0022] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0023] (1) In this invention, the two first spring pieces are opened and locked by setting a pusher and a locking member, which improves the stability of the first spring pieces when they are opened and facilitates the insertion and removal of the plug. When the plug is inserted between the two spring pieces, the pusher and the locking member are forced to slide away from the first spring pieces. The first spring pieces are clamped by the pressing member, which improves the stability of the plug connection. At the same time, the sliding pusher can abut against the second spring piece to supply power, avoiding sparks at the plug. The second spring piece, which is suspended between the mounting base and the socket body, causes sparks to be generated when the power is applied, thus improving the safety of use.

[0024] (2) In this invention, the bending part is set to deform the spring body to facilitate the opening of the spring body. At the same time, it can cooperate with the push block and the sliding slope to facilitate the opening of the spring body. In addition, the bending part cooperates with the snap-fit ​​part to realize the connection of the plug-in part in the mounting base. The sliding plate cooperates with the limiting part to realize the connection between the push block and the mounting base. The structure is simple and easy to assemble and connect by bending out the snap-fit ​​part and the limiting part. It is convenient to produce.

[0025] (3) In this invention, by setting a mounting plate and connecting part, the installation between the pressing part, the locking part, the mounting base and the socket body is realized. The structure is simple and the connecting part is easy to bend and form. At the same time, the mounting plate extends to both sides of the first spring, which improves the pressing effect of the pressing block on the first spring and makes it easier for the locking block to be inserted between the two first springs after the pressing block is separated from the first spring by pushing the inclined surface, thus improving the locking effect. In addition, the two mounting plates allow the pressing block and the locking block to be connected into a whole firstly, which facilitates subsequent assembly and production.

[0026] (4) In this invention, a support mechanism is set up to support the conveying mechanism to support the mounting base, and then the first mounting mechanism and the second mounting mechanism are used to realize automated assembly production, improve production efficiency. At the same time, during the installation process, the clamping component and the pushing component are used to detect whether the sliding is smooth, determine whether the installation is in place, and then make timely adjustments to finally fix the first spring, the pushing component, the pressing component and the locking component on the mounting base, thereby improving the product yield.

[0027] In summary, the self-locking conductive component of this power socket is easy to insert and remove, has good connection stability, is not prone to sparking, and has a simple structure, making it particularly suitable for the field of power supply technology. Attached Figure Description

[0044] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Example 1

[0045] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, a self-locking conductive component for a power socket includes:

[0046] Multiple mounting bases 1 are provided in the socket body at the corresponding socket positions; two first spring pieces 11 are symmetrically arranged on the mounting bases 1 and located on both sides of the socket; a pusher 2 is slidably arranged on the mounting bases 1 and used to push the two first spring pieces 11 open; two pressers 3 are slidably arranged on the mounting bases 1 and used to press the two first spring pieces 11 close; a locking member 4 is slidably arranged on the mounting bases 1 and used to lock the two first spring pieces 11 in the open state; and a second spring piece 12 is provided at one end on the socket body and extends to the side of the pusher 2 away from the first spring piece 11 and is used to connect the power supply line.

[0047] When the plug is inserted between the two first spring contacts 11 through the socket, the plug forces the locking member 4 and the pushing member 2 to slide away from the first spring contacts 11. The pressing member 3 presses the two first spring contacts 11 against the plug and the pushing member 2, and the pushing member 2 against the second spring contact 12.

[0048] In this embodiment, the pusher 2 and the locking member 4 are used to open and lock the two first spring pieces 11, which improves the stability of the first spring pieces 11 when they are open and facilitates the insertion and removal of the plug. When the plug is inserted between the two spring pieces, the pusher 2 and the locking member 4 are forced to slide away from the first spring pieces 11. The first spring pieces 11 are clamped by the pressing member 3, which improves the stability of the plug connection. At the same time, the sliding pusher 2 abuts against the second spring piece 12 to supply power to the first spring piece 11 and the plug in sequence, avoiding sparks at the plug and improving the safety of use. The second spring piece 12, which is suspended between the mounting base 1 and the socket body, makes the sparks generated when the power is applied suspended, which further improves the safety of use.

[0049] It should be noted that the first spring 11, the second spring 12, and the pusher 2 are all made of copper, which has good conductivity and ductility. The mounting base 1 is made of high-strength plastic, which reduces the wear rate and deformation rate during use, improves the service life, and avoids large deformation during assembly, thus affecting the product yield.

[0050] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 1-2, the first spring 11 includes a spring body 111 for connecting the plug, a bent portion 113 formed at one end of the spring body 111 and bent away from the pusher 2, a plug-in portion 114 formed on the bent portion 113 and inserted into the connecting groove 13 on the mounting base 1, and a snap-fit ​​portion 115 formed on the plug-in portion 114 and engaged with the bent portion 113 to clamp the mounting base 1.

[0051] In this embodiment, the bending portion 113 is provided to deform the spring body 111 so that it can open. At the same time, it can cooperate with the pusher 2 to push the spring body 111 to open and cooperate with the snap-fit ​​portion 115 to connect the plug portion 114 into the mounting base 1.

[0052] It should be noted that the end of the spring body 111 away from the bending part 113 is formed with a guide part 112 for guiding the insertion of the plug, so that the plug can be inserted between the two spring bodies 111.

[0053] Further, as shown in Figures 1-7, the pusher 2 includes a pusher block 21 slidably disposed on the mounting base 1, two sliding inclined surfaces 22 respectively formed on the pusher block 21 and abutting against the two bent portions 113, two sliding plates 23 disposed on the pusher block 21 and slidably connected to both sides of the sliding groove 14 on the mounting base 1, a limiting portion 24 formed on the sliding plate 23 for limiting the pusher block 21 from disengaging from the mounting base 1, and a first elastic member 25 disposed on the mounting base 1 for forcing the pusher block 21 to push the two spring bodies 111 open.

[0054] In this embodiment, two sliding plates 23 are slidably connected to the slide groove 14 and cooperate with the limiting part 24 to realize the sliding connection between the push block 21 and the mounting base 1. At the same time, the first elastic member 25 is used to make the push block 21 automatically force the spring body 111 to open through the cooperation between the sliding inclined surface 22 and the bending part 113.

[0055] In detail, when the plug is inserted, the push block 21 slides away from the spring body 111, the bent part 113 returns to its original shape, the spring body 111 closes, and the first elastic element 25 undergoes a change in shape. When the plug is pulled out, the first elastic element 25 returns to its original shape, forcing the push block 21 to move closer to the spring body 111, the sliding inclined surface 22 pushes the bent part 113 to deform, and thus forces the spring body 111 to open automatically.

[0056] It should be noted that the push block 21 is provided with a positioning groove 26 for the positioning plug to prevent misalignment and jamming when the plug pushes the push block 21.

[0057] Further, as shown in Figures 1-6, the pressing member 3 includes two mounting plates 31 respectively disposed on both sides of the mounting base 1, a connecting part 32 formed on the mounting plate 31 and used to connect the socket body, a pressing block 33 slidably disposed on the mounting plate 31, and a second elastic member 34 disposed on the mounting plate 31 and used to force the pressing block 33 to press the first spring piece 11.

[0058] In this embodiment, by setting the mounting plate 31 in conjunction with the connecting part 32, the pressing member 3, the locking member 4, the mounting base 1 and the socket body are installed. At the same time, the mounting plate 31 extends to both sides of the first spring piece 11, so that the pressing block 33 and the second elastic member 34 can better press the first spring piece 11 and improve the pressing effect.

[0059] It should be noted that the mounting plate 31 is made of steel, which has higher structural strength, improves service life and stability, and reduces production costs.

[0060] Further, as shown in Figures 1-7, the locking member 4 includes a locking block 41 slidably disposed on the mounting plate 31, a pushing ramp 42 formed on the locking block 41 and / or the pressing block 33, and a third elastic member 43 disposed on the mounting plate 31 and used to force the locking block 41 to slide between the two first spring pieces 11 after pushing the two pressing blocks 33 away from the first spring piece 11 through the pushing ramp 42.

[0061] In this embodiment, the locking block 41 is automatically locked in conjunction with the third elastic element 43, and the pushing inclined surface 42 pushes the pressing block 33 to separate from the first spring piece 11, so that the locking block 41 can lock after the pushing element 2 pushes the two first spring pieces 11 open.

[0062] In detail, when the plug is inserted, the plug first pushes the locking block 41 away from the first spring piece 11. The pressing block 33, in conjunction with the second elastic member 34, presses the first spring piece 11 until the plug pushes the pushing member 2 away from the first spring piece 11. Then, the pressing block 33 presses the first spring piece 11 so that it abuts against the pushing member 2 and clamps the plug. When the plug is pulled out, the pushing member 2 first resets and pushes the first spring piece 11 to open initially, making it easier to pull out the plug. After the plug is separated from the locking block 41, the third elastic member 43 restores its deformation, forcing the locking block 41 to reset and push the pressing block 33 away from the first spring piece 11 through the pushing inclined surface 42. Then, the pushing member 2 further resets and pushes the first spring piece 11 to open completely, making it easier for the locking block 41 to slide between the two first spring pieces 11 for locking.

[0063] It should be noted that there are two locking blocks 41, and both the locking blocks 41 and the pressing block 33 are provided with a pushing inclined surface 42 to improve the stability of locking and the stability of the overall structure, while also improving the smoothness of sliding the pushing pressing block 33. In addition, the locking blocks 41 and / or the plug are provided with a rounded or chamfered guide structure to facilitate the plug pushing the locking blocks 41 away from the first spring piece 11.

[0064] The first elastic element 25, the second elastic element 34, and the third elastic element 43 can be helical springs, leaf springs, etc., and their installation methods are all existing technologies, which will not be described in detail here. Example 2

[0065] As shown in Figures 1-2 and 8-9, this application also provides an automated assembly line for assembling the aforementioned power socket self-locking conductive component, comprising:

[0066] The conveying mechanism 5 includes multiple support mechanisms 6 at equal intervals along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 5 for supporting the mounting base 1, a first mounting mechanism 7, a second mounting mechanism 8 and a detection mechanism 9 disposed on the conveying mechanism 5. The first mounting mechanism 7 is used to install the first spring 11 and the pusher 2 on the mounting base 1. The second mounting mechanism 8 is used to install the pressing member 3 and the locking member 4 on the mounting base 1. The detection mechanism 9 is used to detect whether the first spring 11, the pusher 2, the pressing member 3 and the locking member 4 are installed in place.

[0067] The detection mechanism 9 includes a clamping component 91 and a pushing component 92 disposed on the conveying mechanism 5. The clamping component 91 is used to clamp the first spring 11 and the pressing member 3 on the mounting base 1, and the pushing component 92 is used to push the pushing member 2 and the locking member 4 to slide.

[0068] In this embodiment, a support mechanism 6 is set up to support the mounting base 1 for conveying in conjunction with a conveying mechanism 5. Then, the first mounting mechanism 7 and the second mounting mechanism 8 are used to install the first spring 11, the pusher 2, the presser 3, and the locking member 4, thereby realizing automated assembly production and improving production efficiency. At the same time, during the installation process, the clamping component 91 clamps the first spring 11 and the presser 3, and the pusher component 92 detects whether the sliding is smooth and determines whether the installation is in place. After timely adjustment, the first spring 11, the pusher 2, the presser 3, and the locking member 4 are finally fixed on the mounting base 1, thereby improving the product yield.

[0069] In detail, during use, the mounting base 1, supported by the support mechanism 6 and on the conveying mechanism 5, is first conveyed to the first mounting mechanism 7. The first mounting mechanism 7 inserts the first spring piece 11 into the connecting groove 13 of the mounting base 1 and inserts the sliding plate 23 of the pusher 2 into the sliding groove 14 of the mounting base 1. Then, the clamping assembly 91 clamps the first spring piece 11, and the pushing assembly 92 pushes the pusher 2 to slide. If the sliding is not smooth, it can be adjusted in time by the first mounting mechanism 7 until the sliding is smooth. Then, the first spring piece 11 and the pusher 2 are installed on the mounting base 1. Then, the conveying mechanism 5, in cooperation with the second mounting mechanism 8, installs the pressing member 3 and the locking member 4 on the mounting base 1. The clamping assembly 91 clamps the support plate 83 on the pressing member 3 onto the mounting base 1. Finally, the pushing assembly 92 pushes the locking member 4 and the pusher 2 to slide. If the sliding is not smooth, it can be adjusted in time by the second mounting mechanism 8 until the sliding is smooth. Then, the pressing member 3 and the locking member 4 are installed on the mounting base 1.

[0070] It should be noted that the second spring 12 is assembled with the socket body by rivets or bolts. The connection and assembly method is existing technology. Correspondingly, the connection and assembly production line is existing technology, which is not shown in the attached figure and will not be described in detail here.

[0071] The conveying mechanism 5 is a disc conveying structure, and its own technology and installation method are existing technologies, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0072] Further, as shown in Figures 9 and 10, the first installation mechanism 7 includes a first conveying assembly 71 disposed outside the conveying mechanism 5 for directional conveying of the first spring 11 and the pusher 2, a first telescopic frame 72 rotatably disposed on the conveying mechanism 5, a support base 73 disposed on the first telescopic frame 72, two grippers 74 openable and closable disposed on the support base 73 for clamping the first spring 11 and the pusher 2, and a bending assembly 75 disposed on the conveying mechanism 5. The bending assembly 75 is used to bend the first spring 11 into a snap-fit ​​portion 115 and the pusher 2 into a limiting portion 24.

[0073] In this embodiment, by setting the first conveying component 71 in conjunction with the first telescopic frame 72, the support base 73 and the gripper 74 to sequentially position and insert the pusher 2 and the first spring piece 11 into the mounting base 1, the bending component 75 can bend the first spring piece 11 and the pusher 2 to achieve connection and assembly.

[0074] It should be noted that the installation method of the first elastic element 25 on the pusher 2 is existing technology, and the corresponding assembly line is also existing technology. It is not shown in the attached drawings and will not be described in detail here.

[0075] Further, as shown in Figures 11-13, the bending assembly 75 includes a pressing block 751 movably disposed within the conveying mechanism 5, a support block 752 disposed on the pressing block 751 and inserted into the slide groove 14 of the mounting base 1 to support the two slide plates 23 on the pusher 2, a first arcuate structure 753 formed between the pressing block 751 and the support block 752 to guide the two slide plates 23 to bend outward to form a limiting portion 24, a second arcuate structure 754 formed on the pressing block 751 to guide the two first spring pieces 11 to bend outward to form a snap-fit ​​portion 115, and a pressing block 755 movably disposed on the conveying mechanism 5 to press the bent portion 113 on the first spring piece 11.

[0076] In this embodiment, by setting the extrusion block 751 in conjunction with the support block 752 and the first arc surface structure 753, the sliding plate 23 is bent outward to form the limiting part 24, which has a good bending effect. At the same time, the pressing part and the second arc surface structure 754 are used to achieve the bending of the first spring piece 11 inward to form the snap-fit ​​part 115, which also has a good bending effect and avoids interference with the limiting part 24.

[0077] In detail, during use, the gripper 74, in conjunction with the support base 73, clamps and supports the push block 21. The support block 752 moves with the pressing block 751 and inserts into the slide groove 14 to support the two slide plates 23. The pressing block 751, in conjunction with the first arc surface structure 753, bends the slide plate 23 to form a limiting part 24. The pressing block 755 presses the bent part 113 to restrict the insertion part 114 in the connecting groove 13. Then, the pressing block 751, in conjunction with the second arc surface structure 754, bends the insertion part 114 to form a snap-fit ​​part 115.

[0078] It should be noted that when the connecting part 32 on the pressing member 3 needs to be formed by bending, the pressing block 751 is formed with a third arc surface structure 756 for guiding the mounting plates 31 on the two pressing members 3 to bend outward to form the connecting part 32. Correspondingly, the pressing block 755 is also rotatably mounted on the conveying mechanism 5. After adjusting the direction, it is used to press the pressing member 3 while limiting the bending angle of the connecting part 32.

[0079] The pressing part 3 is assembled with the mounting base 1 and the socket body by means of rivets or bolts. The connection and assembly method is the prior art. Correspondingly, the connection and assembly production line is the prior art. It is not shown in the attached figure and will not be described in detail here.

[0080] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 9 and Figures 14-15, the clamping assembly 91 includes a support frame 911 movably disposed within the conveying mechanism 5 and two sets of clamping plates 912 openable and closable on the support frame 911. The two sets of clamping plates 912 are respectively used to clamp the two first spring pieces 11 and the two mounting plates 31 on the two pressing members 3.

[0081] The pushing assembly 92 includes a first telescopic rod 921 slidably disposed on the support frame 911 and used to push the pusher 2 between the two first spring pieces 11, a first sensor for detecting the thrust on the first telescopic rod 921, a second telescopic rod 922 disposed on the conveying mechanism 5 and having the same structure as the plug for insertion between the two first spring pieces 11, and a second sensor for detecting the thrust on the second telescopic rod 922.

[0082] In this embodiment, the clamping of the first spring 11 and the mounting plate 31 is achieved by setting the mechanism, and the pushing detection of the pusher 2 and the locking member 4 is also achieved.

[0083] It should be noted that the support mechanism 6 can support two or more sets of mounting seats 1 at the same time. Correspondingly, there are two or more second telescopic rods 922, which can be detected at the same time, improving production efficiency. At the same time, two or more second telescopic rods 922 can simulate the state when the plug is inserted, further improving the accuracy of detection. In addition, the conveying mechanism 5 is also rotatably equipped with a third telescopic frame 923 for mounting the second telescopic rods 922, and the two second telescopic rods 922 are slidably mounted on the third telescopic frame 923. The two second telescopic rods 922 cooperate with each other to clamp the mounting seat 1, thereby enabling feeding and discharging.

[0084] The first and second sensors themselves and their installation methods are existing technologies and are not shown in the attached drawings, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0085] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 9 and 16-17, the second installation mechanism 8 includes a second conveying assembly 81 disposed outside the conveying mechanism 5 for directional conveying of the assembled pressing member 3 and locking member 4, a second telescopic frame 82 rotatably disposed on the conveying mechanism 5, and a plurality of support plates 83 movably disposed on the second telescopic frame 82 and capable of opening and closing radially. The support plates 83 are used to force the pressing block 33 on the pressing member 3 and the locking block 41 on the locking member 4 to separate from each other.

[0086] The support mechanism 6 includes two U-shaped plates 61 that are movably mounted on the conveying mechanism 5 and used to clamp the mounting base 1, and positioning plates 62 formed on both sides of the two U-shaped plates 61 and used to position the mounting plate 31 on the pressing member 3.

[0087] In this embodiment, the mounting plate 31, which is transported by the second telescopic frame 82 in conjunction with multiple support plates 83, is positioned by setting the U-shaped plate 61 in conjunction with the positioning plate 62 to support the mounting base 1.

[0088] In detail, during use, the second telescopic frame 82 rotates and extends to the second conveying assembly 81. After multiple support plates 83 extend between the locking block 41 and the pressing block 33, they move radially outward to support and open the locking block 41 and the pressing block 33. Then, in conjunction with the rotation and extension of the second telescopic frame 82, the opened locking block 41 and the pressing block 33 are fitted onto the outside of the first spring piece 11 until the positioning plate 62 positions the mounting plate 31. Finally, after the clamping assembly 91 clamps the mounting plate 31, the telescopic frame extends and retracts to pull out the support plate 83, completing the installation.

[0089] It should be noted that both the first conveying assembly 71 and the second conveying assembly 81 are vertical conveying lines used to vertically convey the first spring 11, the pusher 2, and the assembled pressing member 3 and locking member 4 towards the conveying mechanism 5. Both the spring 11 and the installation method are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.
