Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of automobile intake manifold sealing ring assembly, and more particularly to an automobile intake manifold sealing ring automatic assembly device. Background Art

[0002] For carburetor or throttle-body gasoline injection engines, the intake manifold refers to the intake line from the carburetor or throttle body to the cylinder head intake duct. Its function is to distribute the air and fuel mixture from the carburetor or throttle body to the intake ducts of each cylinder. Therefore, a seal must be ensured at the connection between the intake manifold and the engine cylinders. Therefore, a sealing ring is installed at the intake manifold's air duct outlet to improve the sealing performance between the intake manifold and the cylinders. In the prior art, this is typically installed by the operator manually pressing it into the corresponding groove. This method is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient. Furthermore, improper operation or lack of attention can easily cause injury to the operator's fingers.

[0003] Chinese patent publication number CN104589037B, publication date January 29, 2015, the invention is titled "Automatic Assembly Device for Intake Manifold Sealing Ring," and the application discloses an automatic assembly device for an intake manifold sealing ring, comprising a base plate on which is disposed a lifting assembly, the lifting assembly comprising a cylinder vertically disposed on the base plate and a first base plate connected to the cylinder shaft; clamping assemblies disposed on either side of the lifting assembly, the clamping assemblies comprising compression cylinders disposed on either side of the first base plate for clamping the intake manifold; a sealing ring deforming assembly disposed above the lifting assembly, the deforming assembly comprising an inner profiling member connected to the first base plate and an outer profiling member disposed around the outer ring of the inner profiling member, a gap being defined between the inner and outer profiling members, the gap profile being the same as the intake manifold sealing ring profile; the cylinder rising drives the first base plate to rise, driving the inner profiling member to rise and be disposed within the intake manifold pipe so that the sealing ring is sleeved on the intake manifold pipe groove. Although the above invention can realize the automatic fitting of the sealing ring of the intake manifold, it has the following deficiencies when installing the sealing ring: (1) The degree of automation of the equipment is low. The steps of installing the sealing ring are to first place the sealing ring in the contour and then place the intake manifold on the contour to install the sealing ring. This means that when the sealing ring is placed in front of the contour, it is necessary to wait for a certain amount of time to place the sealing ring, so that the intake manifold can only be placed on it after the sealing ring is installed, which seriously affects the efficiency of installation; (2) When installing the sealing ring, since the sealing ring is a flexible sealing ring, the sealing ring may be deformed during the installation process under the action of its own elastic force, so that even if the sealing ring is installed at the airway opening of the intake manifold, it is not flat, thereby affecting the sealing performance of the airway opening at the intake manifold. Summary of the Invention
