When the conductive pillar assembly assembling mechanism 100 is stopped due to a fault, the material grabbing clamping jaws 320 directly extract products from the material storage area 400, and it is ensured that the rear equipment is not stopped. On the contrary, if the socket assembling mechanism 200 encounters a problem, the conductive pillar assembly assembling mechanism 100 may also continuously place the product into the storage area 400, thereby ensuring the efficiency of the equipment.

The principle of the embodiment is as follows:

during the assembly of the conductive post assembly, it is typical to: 1. firstly, feeding a rear cover; 2. conducting column feeding; 3. conducting post pressing; 4. feeding and pressing the insulating cap; 5. feeding and pressing the self-riveting nut; 6. and (6) discharging.

In the rear cover feeding step, the rear cover is firstly placed in the accommodating cavity hole 11111, so that the cover hole and the square hole are completely overlapped. The rear cover is provided with a boss part, when the feeding is finished, the rear cover can emit light through the laser detection module, and the light is blocked, so that the correct placement is indicated. In the step of conducting the material loading, insert the flat piece portion of leading electrical pillar in the square hole to satisfy the location between back lid and the leading electrical pillar, make things convenient for the pressfitting step of follow-up conducting electrical pillar and the pressfitting step of insulating cap. The detection camera can distinguish the positive and negative of placing of conducting pillar and judge whether the material that is gone up mixes in this step, avoids the material loading mistake. The structures and functions of the laser detection module and the detection camera can refer to the prior art, and are not described herein again.

The rear cover pressing power cylinder 141 can press the rear cover and the conductive posts, and the insulating cap pressing mechanism 152 can further press the insulating caps provided by the insulating cap feeding mechanism 151 on the conductive posts, because the base 1111 can have a good fixing effect on the conductive posts, the positions of the conductive posts cannot rotate reversely or deviate in the pressing step of the conductive posts and the pressing step of the insulating caps. After the insulating caps are bonded, the vertically disposed conductive posts and the bonded corresponding components need to be turned over together by the turning station 160, so that the conductive posts are horizontally disposed. At this time, the flat piece portion is placed in the accommodation groove 11112 and is restricted from moving in the width direction by the accommodation groove 11112. The column is placed on the shelf 111212 of the positioning bracket 11121 and is also restrained from moving loose. At this time, the rear cover is located between the frame 111212 and the receiving groove 11112, and has a receiving space. The bump 111222 now inserts into the conductive post hole, preventing the conductive post from moving in its axial direction. The subsequent self-riveting nut feeding and pressing steps are convenient to carry out. The nut support portion is shaped to fit the inner surface of the self-clinching nut so that the nut support portion does not interfere with the raised columns 111222 when the self-clinching nut is clinched. After the pressing process is completed, the stopper 111223 is pressed, so that the protruding pillar 111222 overcomes the resistance of the first spring 111221 and the assembled conductive pillar assembly can be removed. The protrusion column 111222 can be restored to its original position by the restoring force of the first spring 111221.

In the above multiple press-fitting processes, the first buffer component 1113 can provide a buffer force, so as to prevent the turntable of the assembly mechanism where the conductive column component tooling 111 is located from deforming in a long-term working process. The stopper seat plate 11115 can prevent the uneven distribution of the force of the second spring 11132.

After the self-clinching nut pressfitting ends, press through the press mechanism 181 of unloading, then will lead the column portion centre gripping of electrical pillar through upset clamping jaw 1821, after the centre gripping, upset clamping jaw 1821 upwards overturns for it leaves to lead electrical pillar subassembly frock 111 and leave carousel mechanism place region to lead electrical pillar subassembly, then can be through the mode of manual work or arm with the equipment completion lead electrical pillar subassembly and move and send next operating position, for example assembly position or storage position. In this embodiment, it is that robot mechanism 300 unloads, and after robot mechanism 300 received the non-defective products signal that the PLC system sent, move to the product top through 4 shaft linkages of its self, utilize to grab material clamping jaw 320 and grab the conductive column subassembly and break away from conductive column subassembly frock 111 of conductive column subassembly assembly mechanism 100, then move to relevant position according to the concrete order of PLC system issue and place (in the casing equipment frock 212 on storage area 400 or socket assembly mechanism 200).

When the robot mechanism 300 receives a defective product signal sent by the PLC system, the defective product signal is directly brought into the defective product discharge groove 430 by the material grabbing clamping jaw 320 for placement, and the defective product slides into the collection box in the case through the guide pipe in the discharge groove and is taken away by staff for classification.

When leading electrical pillar assembly devices 100 or socket equipment mechanism 200 and damaging the back, storage area 400 can play the cushioning effect as a transfer station, guarantees that equipment does not shut down to guarantee its whole efficiency of equipment.

During the assembly of the housing, it is typical that: 1. feeding the front cover and the base; 2. feeding the conductive column assembly; 3. the front cover and the base are pressed; 4. and (6) discharging.

In the step of loading the front cover and the base, the front cover is placed into the front cover carrier 2123, and the base is placed into the base groove 21211, so that the front cover can be positioned by the cylindrical surface of the front cover carrier 2123 through the front cover carrier 2123, and the base can be positioned by the cooperation of the base groove 21211 and the positioning posts 2122. Thereby providing a material foundation and a positioning foundation for subsequent pressing. After the material loading of protecgulum and base is accomplished, can detect protecgulum and base, confirm whether the just anti-compliance of base to see whether the rubber circle that drains that needs the configuration on the base has the correct installation, confirm again that the base has the compounding. After the detection and the uniform regulation, the conductive column assembly is put in, and the columnar part of the conductive column in the conductive column assembly is put in the front cover. The control system then controls the upper crimp assembly 232 to press the conductive post assembly into the base and the lower crimp assembly 233 to press the front cover into the base.

According to the socket assembling equipment 1000, the conductive column assembly is assembled through the conductive column assembly assembling mechanism 100, then the conductive column assembly is transferred to the storage area 400 or the socket assembling mechanism 200 through the robot mechanism 300, and then the conductive column assembly, the front cover and the base (base) are pressed together through the socket assembling mechanism 200 to form a final socket product, so that the production requirements of the socket product are met, and in the assembling process of the conductive column assembly and the socket product, a plurality of detection gates are arranged, so that defective products are conveniently and timely discharged, and smooth completion of production is facilitated.
