Assembling machine and method

摘要

An assembling machine for assembling an elongated module into a tubular body includes a holding assembly disposed on a base for holding the tubular body, a conveying assembly slidably connected to the base and having a cantilever for holding the elongated module and adapted to extend into the tubular body through a first opening thereof with the elongated module partially protruding from a second opening thereof, and a dispenser positioned between the cantilever and the holding assembly for dispensing adhesive on a joint surface of the elongated module. The holding assembly is adapted to drive the tubular body to move to a pressed position, so that an inner surface of the tubular body is pressed against the joint surface of the elongated module.

1. An assembling method for assembling an elongated module into tubular body, said tubular body having opposite first and second openings, said assembling method comprising:
(A) sliding a conveying assembly of a conveying device rearwardly so that the elongated module held by the conveying assembly is moved rearwardly toward the tubular body in proximity to the first opening, wherein the tubular body is positioned on a holding device; (B) actuating a dispensing device to dispense adhesive on a joint surface of the elongated module as the elongated module is moved rearwardly, wherein a cantilever of the conveying assembly drives the adhesive-coated elongated module into the tubular body through the first opening; (C) stopping the dispensing device from dispensing the adhesive on the joint surface of the elongated module; (D) stopping movement of the conveying assembly so that a portion of the elongated module protrudes from the second opening; (E) actuating the holding device to move downwardly so as to place the tubular body in a pressed position, in which an inner surface of the tubular body is pressed against and adhered to the joint surface of the elongated module; and (F) actuating the holding device to move upwardly so as to place the tubular body with the adhered elongated module in a default height position to thereby separate the elongated module from the cantilever.
