[0031] The present application provides a hole alignment device for aligning the pin holes 8 of the first member 6 and the second member 7; as Figure 1 shown, the hole alignment device includes a driving mechanism and an auxiliary fitting 1; the auxiliary fitting 1 and the axis direction of the pin hole 8 both extend along the first direction a, and the auxiliary fitting 1 is located at one end of the pin hole 8 along the first direction a; the auxiliary fitting 1 is adapted to the pin hole 8 so that the auxiliary fitting 1 can extend into the pin hole 8, and one end of the auxiliary fitting 1 facing the pin hole 8 is tapered; the driving mechanism can drive the auxiliary fitting 1 to reciprocate along the first direction a so that the auxiliary fitting 1 can extend into or withdraw from the pin hole 8.

[0032] The hole alignment device provided by the present application is used to align the pin holes 8 of the first member 6 and the second member 7 to be connected, so that the pin 9 used to connect the first member 6 and the second member 7 can be smoothly inserted into the pin holes 8 of the first member 6 and the second member 7. The hole alignment device includes a driving mechanism and an auxiliary fitting 1, and the auxiliary fitting 1 is adapted to the pin holes 8 of the first member 6 and the second member 7 so that the auxiliary fitting 1 can be exactly inserted into the pin holes 8 of the first member 6 and the second member 7. When the auxiliary fitting 1 is inserted into the pin holes 8 of the first member 6 and the second member 7 at the same time, the pin holes 8 of the first member 6 and the second member 7 will be aligned. The length direction of the auxiliary fitting 1 extends along the first direction a, and one end of the length direction of the auxiliary fitting 1 is connected to the driving mechanism, and the driving mechanism can drive the auxiliary fitting 1 to reciprocate along the first direction a; the other end of the length direction of the auxiliary fitting 1, that is, the head end of the auxiliary fitting 1, is tapered so that the head end of the auxiliary fitting 1 has a smaller through diameter.

[0033] During operation, as Figure 2As shown, the first component 6 and the second component 7 to be assembled are placed on one side close to the head end of the auxiliary fitting 1, and the first component 6 and the second component 7 are pre-assembled so that the pin holes 8 of the first component 6 and the pin holes 8 of the second component 7 are roughly aligned, and the axial directions of the pin holes 8 of the first component 6 and the second component 7 and the axial direction of the auxiliary fitting 1 are roughly on the same axis; the driving mechanism drives the auxiliary fitting 1 to move towards the first component 6 and the second component 7 along the first direction a. Since the head end of the auxiliary fitting 1 is tapered, the head end of the auxiliary fitting 1 can smoothly enter the pin holes 8 at the end of the first component 6 and the second component 7 facing the auxiliary fitting 1; then the auxiliary fitting 1 is continuously pushed forward until the outer wall of the cylinder of the auxiliary fitting 1 can simultaneously abut against the inner walls of the pin holes 8 of the first component 6 and the second component 7, and the pin holes 8 of the first component 6 and the second component 7 will be aligned. After the pin holes 8 of the first component 6 and the second component 7 are aligned, the pin 9 for connecting the first component 6 and the second component 7 is inserted into the first component 6 and the second component 7 from the pin holes 8 at the other end of the first component 6 and the second component 7 away from the auxiliary fitting 1. At this time, since the first component 6 and the second component 7 are already aligned, the pin 9 can be smoothly inserted into the pin holes 8 of the first component 6 and the second component 7; after the pin 9 is inserted into the first component 6 and the second component 7 for a certain length, the driving mechanism drives the auxiliary fitting 1 to withdraw from the first component 6 and the second component 7, and then the pin 9 is continuously inserted to complete the assembly of the pin 9 of the first component 6 and the second component 7; thus, through the hole alignment device of the present application, the pin holes 8 of the first component 6 and the second component 7 to be assembled can be conveniently and quickly aligned, so that the pin 9 can be smoothly inserted into the first component 6 and the second component 7, and the assembly of the pin 9 of the first component 6 and the second component 7 is completed.
