The base 1 is provided with a slide rail 11, and the slide rail 11 is perpendicular to the moving track in horizontal direction. The clamping assembly is mounted on the slide rail 11 and can reciprocate on the slide rail 11.

[0021] The base 1 drives the clamping assembly to reciprocate along the direction of the expansion assembly to complete the expansion of the filling pipe on the clamping assembly. The clamping assembly moves on the slide rail, driving the filling pipe to selectively move between the clamping assembly and the expansion assembly.

[0022] The clamping assembly includes a clamping bottom plate 2, a clamping box disposed on the clamping bottom plate 2, and a pressing assembly disposed on one side of the clamping box. The clamping box includes a clamping lower box 51 and a clamping upper cover 52 pivotally connected to the clamping lower box 51. The clamping lower box 51 and the clamping upper cover 52 are both provided with mutually matching filling pipe grooves. When the filling pipe is placed in the clamping box, it is placed in the filling pipe groove to better position the filling pipe.

[0023] The clamping assembly includes a support plate 64 disposed on the clamping bottom plate, a cylinder 61 is disposed on the support plate 64, and a clamping rod 63 is connected to the cylinder shaft 62 of the cylinder 61. The clamping rod 63 is pivotally connected to the cylinder shaft 62 to achieve better labor saving. The head of the cylinder 61 is pivotally connected to the support plate 64, and the cylinder moves, driving the clamping rod 63 to clamp or release the clamping box.

[0024] The expansion assembly includes an upright positioning support rod 3 and an expansion column 4 vertically arranged with the positioning support rod 3. The head of the expansion column 4 is arranged opposite to the filling pipe and is arranged in a conical shape. The maximum diameter of the conical part of the expansion column 4 is larger than the diameter of the filling pipe 8. In order to make the filling pipe more smoothly sleeved on the expansion column 4, the conical front end of the expansion column is smaller than the inner diameter of the filling pipe 8. The clamping assembly is arranged on one side of the expansion assembly, and includes a clamping head 7 for filling the tank body.

[0025] The present invention also discloses an assembly method of the filling pipe assembly device described above, comprising the following steps:

[0026] S1, clamp the filling pipe 8, place the filling pipe 8 to be assembled in the clamping box, and press the clamping box by the pressing rod on the cylinder 61. At the same time, the tank body to be assembled is clamped in place by the clamping assembly.

[0027] S2, the filling pipe expands 8, the clamping assembly moves on the slide rail 11 to the front of the expansion assembly, and the base 1 reciprocates along the direction of the expansion assembly on the moving track, so that the filling pipe 8 is repeatedly sleeved on the expansion column 4 of the expansion assembly to expand the diameter of the filling pipe.

[0028] S3, the filling pipe 8 is assembled, and the clamping assembly moves on the slide rail 11 to the front of the clamping assembly, so that the expanded filling pipe 8 is facing the tank body to be assembled with the filling pipe, and the base 1 moves on the moving track to drive the clamping assembly to place the filling pipe sleeve on the tank body to complete the assembly.

[0029] S4, reset, the cylinder 61 on the clamping assembly is reset, that is, the cylinder shaft 62 retracts, thereby driving the clamping rod 63 to retract, so that the clamping rod 63 bounces off the clamping box, and the assembled product is taken out. After the clamping assembly is reset, the expansion assembly of the next filling pipe is ready.

[0030] The installation position and relative position of the movable rail and the slide rail in the present invention can also be adjusted as needed. For example, the slide rail is set in the horizontal left and right direction, and the movable rail is in the front and back direction relative to the expansion component.
