Step S100, an external manipulator or a person places the bearing 80 to be assembled on the mounting mechanism 21 of the loading and unloading station 20a, specifically, places the bearing 80 on the center mounting plate 213;
Step S200, rotating the turntable 20 by an angle of one station, so that the bearing 80 to be assembled rotates to the visual detection station 20b, and the lifting and rotating mechanism 22 below the visual detection station 20b lifts the bearing 80 and drives the bearing 80 to rotate, specifically:
The follower 226 is driven to move upwards through the jacking telescopic piece 223, the follower 226 drives the jacking table 221 to move upwards, the jacking table 221 passes through the turnplate 20 and the hollowed holes of the first bottom plate 211 to move upwards, the upper surface of the jacking table 221 is attached to and abutted against the lower surface of the second bottom plate 212, the central mounting plate 213 arranged on the second bottom plate 212 and the bearing 80 to be assembled are also jacked upwards, and at the moment, the second positioning pins 2132 on the side wall of the central mounting plate 213 are separated from the positioning grooves 211a on the first bottom plate 211 upwards, so that the degree of freedom of horizontal rotation of the central mounting plate 213 is released;
In the process of lifting the jacking table 221 upwards, the rotary table 222 is lifted together, and a positioning hole 222a on the rotary table 222 and a first positioning pin 2131 on the lower surface of the central mounting plate 213 are aligned and inserted together at first, so that the positioning of the rotary table 222 and the central mounting plate 213 is realized;
The visual detection assembly 30 carries out omnibearing detection on the bearing 80 in the rotating process, the jacking table 221 moves downwards after the detection is finished, the second bottom plate 212 and the center mounting plate 213 fall onto the first bottom plate 211 again, and the second positioning pins 2132 on the side wall of the center mounting plate 213 are put into the positioning grooves 211a on the first bottom plate 211 again to realize positioning;
Step S300, the detected bearing 80 rotates a station angle along with the turntable 20 again, the bearing 80 to be assembled enters the gluing station 20c, the jacking rotation mechanism 22 below the gluing station 20c jacks up and rotates the bearing 80 again (the principle description of the part refers to the working principle of the jacking rotation mechanism 22 in step S200, which is not repeated here), the first glue spraying nozzle 45 of the bearing gluing assembly 40 sprays glue towards the bearing 80 to be assembled, the first glue spraying nozzle 45 is used for gluing the circumference of the bearing 80 in the rotating process of the bearing 80, the jacking rotation mechanism 22 jacking table 221 moves downwards after the gluing is completed, the second bottom plate 212 and the central mounting plate 213 fall onto the first bottom plate 211 again, and the second positioning pin 2132 on the side wall of the central mounting plate 213 is placed into the positioning groove 211a on the first bottom plate 211 again to realize positioning;

The first Z-axis moving assembly 511 drives the first mounting plate 512, the first clamping jaw 514 and the retainer ring 90 to move downwards, after the retainer ring 90 contacts the bearing 80, the first clamping jaw 514, the rotary driving assembly 513 and the moving plate 5152 are supported by the bearing 80 due to the blocking of the bearing 80, and the first Z-axis moving assembly 511 continuously drives the first mounting plate 512 to move downwards, so that relative sliding in the height direction occurs between the connecting plate 5131 of the rotary driving assembly 513 and the first mounting plate 512 (because the connecting plate 5131 is in sliding connection with the first mounting plate 512), when the first blocking piece 51521 on the moving plate 5152 is separated from the cooperation with the first photoelectric sensing piece 5153, the first photoelectric sensing piece 5153 generates a first feedback signal and transmits the first feedback signal to the first Z-axis moving assembly 511 and the first servo motor 5132 of the rotary driving assembly 513, and the first Z-axis moving assembly 511 continuously drives the first mounting plate 512 to move downwards for t seconds after receiving the first feedback signal;

The tightening gun 65 needs to monitor torque when being tightened, and after the tightening gun 65 runs for a period of time, whether deviation exists in output torque needs to be detected, so that poor production of products due to the reasons of failure, aging and the like of the tightening gun 65 is prevented;
Step 600, the bearing 80 after pre-tightening rotates by a station angle along with the turntable 20 again, the assembled retainer ring 90 and bearing 80 enter the assembly detection station 20f, and the assembly detection assembly 70 detects whether the assembled product meets the standard, specifically:
The test bench 76 is driven to move in the height direction by the movement of the fourth mounting plate 72 and the fifth mounting plate 74 in two directions which are mutually perpendicular in the horizontal plane and the movement of the third Z-axis movement assembly 75, so that the test bench 76 can accurately move to the position right above the bearing 80, then the third Z-axis movement assembly 75 drives the reference block 78 to move downwards, so that the positioning surface of the reference block 78 is propped against the bearing 80, meanwhile, the telescopic displacement detection member 79 is propped against the retaining ring 90 assembled on the bearing 80, the telescopic displacement detection member 79 is blocked by the retaining ring 90 and is retracted upwards, the retracted displacement is recorded, whether the assembly meets the standard or not is judged according to the displacement, if the assembly does not meet the standard, the bearing 80 and the retaining ring 90 are taken down together by the pneumatic finger 77 on the test bench 76 and put in the NG station, and if the assembly meets the standard, the assembly is circulated to the next station;
In step S700, the check ring 90 and the bearing 80 which reach the standard are detected to rotate by one station angle again along with the turntable 20, and the check ring 90 and the bearing 80 after detection enter the loading and unloading station 20a for unloading, and manual or mechanical arm unloading can be adopted.
