Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pipe fitting assembly technology, and in particular to a bobbin assembly device and a bobbin assembly equipment for pipe fittings. Background Technology

[0002] Reference Figures 1 to 3 To facilitate the disassembly, assembly, or expansion and contraction of multiple pipe fittings 700, a spring wire 730 and a ball bearing 740 are usually installed in the pipe hole 710 of the pipe fitting 700. The spring wire 730 includes a first elastic part 731 and a second elastic part 732 arranged at an angle. The first elastic part 731 and the second elastic part 732 are connected by a bending part 733. The first elastic part 731 and the second elastic part 732 both abut against the inner wall of the pipe hole 710. The ball bearing 740 has an insertion hole 741. The end of the first elastic part 731 is provided with an insertion part 734, which is inserted into the insertion hole 741 of the ball bearing 740. The peripheral wall of the fitting 700 is provided with a mounting hole 720 for the protrusion of the ball 740. In use, the ball 740 can be pressed from the outside of the fitting 700 to compress and deform the spring wire 730. The first elastic part 731 swings relative to the bending part 733 and approaches the second elastic part 732, causing the ball 740 to retract into the tube hole 710. This allows the fittings 700 to be disassembled or extended.

[0003] During the production process of the aforementioned pipe fitting 700, the spring wire 730, the ball bearing 740, and the pipe fitting 700 need to be assembled. In the prior art, it is usually necessary to manually install the ball bearing 740 onto the end of the first elastic part 731 of the spring wire 730, and then manually compress the spring wire 730 and insert it into the pipe hole 710 of the pipe fitting 700. This is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, affecting assembly efficiency, but also, when inserting the assembled spring wire 730 and ball bearing 740 into the pipe hole 710 of the pipe fitting 700, the ball bearing 740 needs to be aligned with the mounting hole 720 on the peripheral wall of the pipe fitting 700 so that the ball bearing 740 can protrude from the mounting hole 720. In this process, manual assembly is prone to errors, causing the ball bearing 740 to fail to protrude from the mounting hole 720, affecting product quality. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, the present invention proposes a bobbin assembly device with high efficiency in assembling bobbins and bobbins.

[0005] The present invention also proposes a tubular bobbin assembly device having the above-mentioned bobbin assembly apparatus.

[0006] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a pipe fitting bobbin assembly device includes: a frame; a bobbin feeding mechanism disposed on the frame; a bobbin feeding mechanism including a bobbin conveying channel disposed on the frame, wherein the bottom wall of the bobbin conveying channel has a through groove extending to the outlet end of the bobbin conveying channel; and a first assembly mechanism movably disposed on the frame and capable of moving relative to the frame. When the first assembly mechanism moves relative to the frame closer to the bobbin feeding mechanism, the first assembly mechanism can acquire the bobbin. When the first assembly mechanism drives the bobbin to move relative to the frame to below the through groove, with the insertion part of the bobbin facing the through groove, the first assembly mechanism can drive the bobbin to move along the through groove closer to the outlet end of the bobbin conveying channel, causing the insertion part of the bobbin to engage with the insertion hole of the bobbin.

[0007] The pipe fitting spring ball assembly device according to an embodiment of the present invention has at least the following features:

[0008] Beneficial effects:

[0009] By employing the aforementioned elastic thread and marble assembly device, during assembly, the first assembly mechanism first moves close to the elastic thread feeding mechanism and acquires the elastic thread, then moves to the bottom of the through groove, so that the insertion part of the elastic thread faces the through groove. When the marble is conveyed to the outlet end of the marble conveying channel, the marble is located on the through groove, and the insertion hole of the marble is opposite to the through groove. Therefore, as the elastic thread moves along the through groove towards the outlet end of the marble conveying channel, the first elastic part can be engaged into the insertion hole of the marble and ejected from the outlet end of the through groove, thereby completing the assembly of the elastic thread and marble. The entire process is convenient, fast, and highly automated, greatly improving the assembly efficiency of the elastic thread and marble.

[0010] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the first assembly mechanism includes a first movable seat movably mounted on the frame and a clamp mounted on the first movable seat. The first movable seat can drive the clamp to move closer to the spring wire feeding mechanism and clamp the spring wire. The first movable seat can also drive the clamp to move below the through slot.

[0011] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the elastic wire feeding mechanism includes an elastic wire vibrating disc, an elastic wire conveying frame, and an elastic wire pushing mechanism. The elastic wire conveying frame has an inlet end and an outlet end. The inlet end is located near the elastic wire vibrating disc and can receive the elastic wire from the elastic wire vibrating disc. The elastic wire pushing mechanism is located at the outlet end of the elastic wire conveying frame. The first movable seat can drive the clamp to move relative to the frame above the outlet end, and the elastic wire pushing mechanism can push the elastic wire at the outlet end upward to move closer to the clamp.

[0012] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the elastic wire feeding mechanism includes a first driving device and a push plate. The first driving device is mounted on the frame and is connected to the push plate in a transmission manner. The push plate has a slide rail on one side surface near the elastic wire conveying frame. The elastic wire conveying frame has a groove extending to the discharge end. The slide rail is movably embedded in the groove. The first driving device can drive the push plate to move in the up and down direction and make the upper end of the slide rail abut against the elastic wire.

[0013] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the push plate is provided with an adsorption element on the side surface near the elastic wire conveyor frame, which can adsorb the elastic wire.

[0014] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a pipe fitting spring and ball assembly device includes: a spring and ball assembly apparatus as described in any of the above embodiments; a pipe fitting feeding mechanism disposed on the frame; and a second assembly mechanism movably disposed on the frame and capable of moving relative to the frame. The second assembly mechanism can move closer to the first assembly mechanism and acquire the spring and ball assembled by the first assembly mechanism. The second assembly mechanism can also drive the assembled spring and ball to move closer to the pipe fitting feeding mechanism and push the spring and ball to be installed in the pipe hole of the pipe fitting.

[0015] The pipe fitting spring ball assembly device according to an embodiment of the present invention has at least the following features:

[0016] Beneficial effects:

[0017] By employing the bobbin assembly device of any of the above embodiments, the bobbin and the bobbin can be assembled by the first assembly mechanism. Then, the bobbin and the bobbin assembled by the first assembly mechanism are obtained by the second assembly mechanism, and the assembled bobbin and the bobbin are moved closer to the pipe feeding mechanism and pushed to install the bobbin and the bobbin into the pipe hole of the pipe. In this way, the assembly of the entire pipe, bobbin and bobbin can be completed. The whole process is fast and convenient, with a high degree of automation and high assembly efficiency.

[0018] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the second assembly mechanism is located on one side of the first assembly mechanism. The second assembly mechanism includes a second movable seat movably mounted on the frame and a top rod mounted on the second movable seat. The second movable seat can drive the top rod to move closer to the first assembly mechanism and receive the spring wire and the ball. The second movable seat can also drive the top rod to move closer to the pipe feeding mechanism and push the spring wire and the ball to be installed in the pipe hole of the pipe.

[0019] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the push rod has a plug end that can be inserted into a tube hole, and the upper surface of the push rod is provided with a receiving groove extending to the plug end. The side wall of the receiving groove is provided with a limiting groove for receiving the periphery of the ball. When the second movable seat drives the push rod to move closer to the first assembly mechanism, the plug end faces the first assembly mechanism, and the first assembly mechanism and the push rod can move closer to each other, so that the assembled ball moves closer to the push rod and the ball is embedded in the receiving groove, and the periphery of the ball is embedded in the limiting groove.

[0020] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the second movable seat includes: a movable seat movably mounted on the frame, the movable seat being movable to move closer to or away from the pipe feeding mechanism; a rotating table rotatably mounted on the movable seat, the rotating table being capable of rotating horizontally relative to the movable seat, and the push rod being mounted on the rotating table and capable of rotating synchronously with the rotating table.

[0043] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0044] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the orientation descriptions, such as up, down, front, back, left, right, etc., are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting this invention.

[0045] In the description of this invention, "several" means one or more, "multiple" means two or more, "greater than," "less than," and "exceeding" are understood to exclude the stated number, while "above," "below," and "within" are understood to include the stated number. The use of "first" and "second" in the description is merely for distinguishing technical features and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, or implicitly indicating the number of indicated technical features, or implicitly indicating the order of the indicated technical features.

[0046] In the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "set up," "install," and "connect" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0047] Reference Figures 1 to 3In the prior art, to facilitate the disassembly, assembly, or expansion and contraction of multiple pipe fittings 700, a spring wire 730 and a ball bearing 740 are usually installed in the pipe hole 710 of the pipe fitting 700. The spring wire 730 includes a first elastic part 731 and a second elastic part 732 arranged at an included angle. The first elastic part 731 and the second elastic part 732 are connected by a bending part 733. Both the first elastic part 731 and the second elastic part 732 abut against the inner wall of the pipe hole 710. The ball bearing 740 has an insertion hole 741. The end of the first elastic part 731 is provided with a plug-in part 734, which is inserted into the insertion hole 741 of the ball bearing 740. The peripheral wall of the fitting 700 is provided with a mounting hole 720 for the protrusion of the ball 740. In use, the ball 740 can be pressed from the outside of the fitting 700 to compress and deform the spring wire 730. The first elastic part 731 swings relative to the bending part 733 and approaches the second elastic part 732, causing the ball 740 to retract into the tube hole 710. This allows the fittings 700 to be disassembled or extended.

[0048] Reference Figures 4 to 11 One embodiment of the present invention provides a bobbin assembly device, which includes a frame 100, a bobbin feeding mechanism 200, a bobbin feeding mechanism 300, and a first assembly mechanism 500. The bobbin feeding mechanism 200 is disposed on the frame 100. The bobbin feeding mechanism 300 includes a bobbin conveying channel 320 disposed on the frame 100, and a through groove 321 extending to the outlet end of the bobbin conveying channel 320 is formed in the bottom wall of the bobbin conveying channel 320. The first assembly mechanism 500 is movably disposed on the frame 100 and can move relative to the frame 100. When the first assembly mechanism 500 moves relative to the frame 100 and approaches the spring wire feeding mechanism 200, the first assembly mechanism 500 can acquire the spring wire 730. When the first assembly mechanism 500 drives the spring wire 730 to move relative to the frame 100 to below the through groove 321, with the insertion part 734 of the spring wire 730 facing the through groove 321, the first assembly mechanism 500 can drive the spring wire 730 to move along the through groove 321 and approach the outlet end of the ball conveying channel 320, so that the spring wire 730 is inserted into the insertion hole 741 of the ball 740.

[0049] In the above structure, the wire feeding mechanism 200 is used to feed the wire 730 to the first assembly mechanism 500, and the ball feeding mechanism 300 is used to feed the ball 740 to the first assembly mechanism 500. When the ball 740 is fed, it is located in the ball feeding channel 320. When the ball 740 is fed to the outlet end of the ball feeding channel 320, the insertion hole 741 of the ball 740 is located on the through groove 321 on the bottom wall of the ball feeding channel 320. The first assembly mechanism 500 is used to assemble the wire 730 and the ball 740.

[0050] By employing the above-described bobbin assembly device, during assembly, the first assembly mechanism 500 first moves close to the bobbin feeding mechanism 200 and acquires the bobbin 730. Then, it moves the bobbin 730 to below the bobbin conveying channel 320. When the first assembly mechanism 500 moves the bobbin 730 to below the through groove 321, the insertion portion 734 of the first elastic part 731 of the bobbin 730 faces the through groove 321. Since the insertion hole 741 of the bobbin 740 is opposite to the through groove 321, as the bobbin 730 moves along the through groove 321 towards the outlet end of the bobbin conveying channel 320, the insertion portion 734 of the first elastic part 731 can be inserted into the insertion hole 741 of the bobbin 740, and the bobbin 740 is brought out from the outlet end of the bobbin conveying channel 320, thus completing the assembly of the bobbin 730 and the bobbin 740. The entire assembly process is highly automated, which greatly improves the assembly efficiency of the 730 spring and 740 ball.

[0051] Understandably, referring to Figure 5 In some embodiments, to facilitate the assembly of the spring wire 730 and the ball 740, the ball conveying channel 320 has an inclined section arranged from top to bottom, with the outlet end of the ball conveying channel 320 located at the bottom end of the inclined section. Thus, when the ball 740 is located at the outlet end of the ball conveying channel 320, the insertion hole 741 of the ball 740 is opposite to the through groove 321 and inclined towards the inlet end of the ball conveying channel 320. When the first assembly mechanism 500 moves the spring wire 730 to below the through groove 321, the insertion part 734 of the spring wire 730 can more easily be inserted into the insertion hole 741 of the ball 740 as it moves towards the through groove 321 and along the through groove 321. This facilitates the assembly of the spring wire 730 and the ball 740 and further improves the assembly efficiency of the spring wire 730 and the ball 740.

[0052] Understandably, referring to Figure 4 In some embodiments, in addition to the marble conveying channel 320, the marble feeding mechanism 300 also includes a marble vibrating plate 310, which is disposed at the inlet end of the marble conveying channel 320 and is capable of conveying marbles 740 to the marble conveying channel 320.

[0053] It is understood that in some embodiments, in addition to assembling the ball 740 and the bobbin 730 by opening a through groove 321 in the bottom wall of the ball conveying channel 320, the bobbin 740 can also be directly obtained by a robot or a clamp and placed in the insertion part 734 of the ball 730. Furthermore, the bobbin 740 can be pressed down by a pressing mechanism, such as a cylinder, to make the assembly between the bobbin 740 and the ball 730 more secure.

[0054] Reference Figure 4, Figure 5 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 In some embodiments, the first assembly mechanism 500 includes a first movable seat 510 movably mounted on the frame 100 and a clamp 520 mounted on the first movable seat 510. The first movable seat 510 can drive the clamp 520 to move closer to the spring wire feeding mechanism 200 and clamp the spring wire 730. The first movable seat 510 can also drive the clamp 520 to move below the through groove 321.

[0055] In the above structure, when the first assembly mechanism 500 is working, the first movable seat 510 drives the clamp 520 to move closer to the wire feeding mechanism 200 and clamp the wire 730 in the wire feeding mechanism 200. Then, the first movable seat 510 drives the clamp 520 to move below the through groove 321 on the bottom wall of the ball conveying channel 320, so that the insertion part 734 of the wire 730 faces the through groove 321, allowing the insertion part 734 of the wire 730 to be inserted into the insertion hole 741 of the ball 740 and drive the ball 740 out from the outlet end of the ball conveying channel 320. Thus, the assembly of the wire 730 and the ball 740 is completed. The entire assembly process is highly automated, greatly improving the assembly efficiency of the wire 730 and the ball 740.

[0056] Reference Figures 5 to 8 In some embodiments, the elastic wire feeding mechanism 200 includes an elastic wire vibrating disc 210, an elastic wire conveying frame 220, and an elastic wire pushing mechanism. The elastic wire conveying frame 220 has an inlet end and an outlet end. The inlet end is located near the elastic wire vibrating disc 210 and can receive the elastic wire 730 from the elastic wire vibrating disc 210. The elastic wire pushing mechanism is located at the outlet end of the elastic wire conveying frame 220. The first movable seat 510 can drive the clamp 520 to move relative to the frame 100 above the outlet end, and the elastic wire pushing mechanism can push the elastic wire 730 at the outlet end upward to move closer to the clamp 520.

[0057] When the aforementioned wire feeding mechanism 200 feeds material to the first assembly mechanism 500, the wire 730 is conveyed to the wire conveyor frame 220 via the wire vibrating plate 210. When the first movable seat 510 drives the clamp 520 to move relative to the frame 100 to above the discharge end of the wire conveyor frame 220, the wire 730 located at the discharge end of the wire conveyor frame 220 can be pushed upward and close to the clamp 520 by the wire pushing mechanism, so that the clamp 520 can successfully clamp the wire 730.

[0058] It is understandable that, in the above structure, in order for the wire conveyor 220 to better convey the wire 730 from the feed section to the discharge end, the wire conveyor 220 can also adopt a vibration structure, which drives the wire 730 to move from the feed end to the discharge end of the wire conveyor 220 through vibration.

[0059] Understandably, referring to Figure 7 and Figure 8 In order to ensure that the wire 730 can be stably conveyed on the wire conveyor 220, in some embodiments, the wire conveyor 220 is provided with a wire conveying channel 222 for accommodating the wire 730. This can prevent the wire 730 from being misaligned or tilted due to shaking during the conveying process. This makes it easier for the subsequent wire pushing mechanism to push the wire 730 upward and close to the clamp 520, so that the clamp 520 can successfully pick up the wire 730.

[0060] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 In some embodiments, the wire-feeding mechanism includes a first drive device 230 and a push plate 240. The first drive device 230 is mounted on the frame 100 and is connected to the push plate 240 in a transmission manner. The push plate 240 has a slide rail 241 on one side surface near the wire conveyor frame 220. The wire conveyor frame 220 has a groove 221 extending to the discharge end. The slide rail 241 is movably embedded in the groove 221. The first drive device 230 can drive the push plate 240 to move in the up and down direction and make the upper end of the slide rail 241 abut against the wire 730.

[0061] In the above structure, the wire conveyor 220 is provided with a chute 221 extending to the discharge end. Therefore, the wire 730 at the discharge end of the wire conveyor 220 is located on the chute 221, and the slide rail 241 of the push plate 240 is movably embedded in the chute 221. Thus, when the first movable seat 510 drives the clamp 520 to move above the discharge end of the wire conveyor 220, the first driving device 230 can drive the push plate 240 to move upward and abut against the wire 730 at the discharge end. The first driving device 230 drives the push plate 240 to continue moving upward, which can push the wire 730 upward to move close to the clamp 520, so that the clamp 520 can successfully clamp the wire 730. This structure makes the feeding of the wire 730 more convenient and faster.

[0062] Understandably, referring to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The discharge end of the wire conveyor 220 is provided with two chutes 221. The push plate 240, on its surface near the wire conveyor 220, is provided with two slide rails 241. Each slide rail 241 corresponds to one of the two chutes 221, and the upper ends of both slide rails 241 can abut against the wire 730 at the discharge end. This allows the push plate 240 to push the wire 730 more smoothly, resulting in a more stable feeding of the wire 730. It is understood that the number of chutes 221 can be two, one, three, or more; similarly, the number of slide rails 241 can be two, one, three, or more. The present invention does not specifically limit the number of chutes 221 and slide rails 241.

[0063] In some embodiments, the push plate 240 has an adsorption element on the side surface near the elastic wire conveyor 220 that can adsorb the elastic wire 730.

[0064] In the above structure, the adsorption component can adsorb the elastic wire 730 as the pusher plate 240 pushes the elastic wire 730 upward, thus preventing the elastic wire 730 from tilting or even falling during the upward movement, thereby making the feeding of the elastic wire 730 more stable.

[0065] It is understood that the above-mentioned adsorption element can specifically adopt a magnetic adsorption structure that can attract each other with the elastic wire 730, or the above-mentioned adsorption element can also adopt a vacuum adsorption structure, and the present invention does not specifically limit it.

[0066] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the first movable seat 510 is rotatably mounted on the frame 100, and there are four clamps 520. All the clamps 520 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the movable seat. The first movable seat 510 can drive the clamps 520 to move cyclically between the spring wire feeding mechanism 200, the ball conveying channel 320 and the second assembly mechanism 600.

[0067] In the above structure, by setting four clamps 520, the four clamps 520 can work simultaneously. Specifically, when the first clamp 520 moves closer to the wire feeding mechanism 200, the second clamp 520 moves closer to the ball conveying channel 320, and the third clamp 520 moves closer to the second assembly mechanism 600. This allows the wire feeding mechanism 200, the ball feeding mechanism 300, and the second assembly mechanism 600 to work simultaneously, greatly improving the assembly efficiency of the wire 730 and the ball 740.

[0068] Understandably, the number of the aforementioned fixtures 520 is four, which is only for... Figure 4 and Figure 5 As an example, the number of clamps 520 can be four, two, three, five or more, and the present invention does not specifically limit the number.

[0069] Reference Figures 4 to 11The present invention also proposes a pipe fitting spring wire and ball assembly device, which includes a spring wire and ball assembly apparatus according to any of the above embodiments, a pipe fitting feeding mechanism 400, and a second assembly mechanism 600. The pipe fitting feeding mechanism 400 is disposed on a frame 100, and the second assembly mechanism 600 is movably disposed on the frame 100 and can move relative to the frame 100. The second assembly mechanism 600 can move closer to the first assembly mechanism 500 and acquire the spring wire 730 and ball 740 assembled by the first assembly mechanism 500. The second assembly mechanism 600 can also drive the assembled spring wire 730 and ball 740 to move closer to the pipe fitting feeding mechanism 400 and push the spring wire 730 and ball 740 into the pipe hole 710 of the pipe fitting 700.

[0070] In the above structure, by adopting the bobbin assembly device of any of the above embodiments, during assembly, the first assembly mechanism 500 first moves close to the bobbin feeding mechanism 200 and obtains the bobbin 730, and then moves to the bottom of the through groove 321 of the bobbin conveying channel 320, so that the insertion part 734 of the first elastic part 731 of the bobbin 730 faces the through groove 321. Since the insertion hole 741 of the bobbin 740 is opposite to the through groove 321, when the first assembly mechanism 500 drives the bobbin 730 to move close to the outlet end of the bobbin conveying channel 320, the insertion part 734 of the bobbin 730 can be inserted into the insertion hole 741 of the bobbin 740, and drive the bobbin 740 to move away from the bobbin conveying channel 320, thereby completing the assembly of the bobbin 730 and the bobbin 740. Then, the second assembly mechanism 600 obtains the spring wire 730 and the ball 740 assembled by the first assembly mechanism 500, and drives the assembled spring wire 730 and the ball 740 to move closer to the pipe feeding mechanism 400, and pushes the spring wire 730 and the ball 740 to be installed in the pipe hole 710 of the pipe fitting 700. In this way, the assembly of the entire pipe fitting 700, spring wire 730 and ball 740 can be completed. The whole process is fast and convenient, with a high degree of automation and high assembly efficiency.

[0071] Reference Figure 9 and Figure 10 In some embodiments, the second assembly mechanism 600 is located on one side of the first assembly mechanism 500. The second assembly mechanism 600 includes a second movable seat 610 movably mounted on the frame 100 and a top rod 620 mounted on the second movable seat 610. The second movable seat 610 can drive the top rod 620 to move closer to the first assembly mechanism 500 and receive the spring wire 730 and the ball 740. The second movable seat 610 can also drive the top rod 620 to move closer to the pipe feeding mechanism 400 and push the spring wire 730 and the ball 740 to be installed in the pipe hole 710 of the pipe 700.

[0072] In the above structure, when the second assembly mechanism 600 is working, the second movable seat 610 drives the push rod 620 to move closer to the first assembly mechanism 500 to obtain the spring wire 730 and the ball 740 assembled on the first assembly mechanism 500. Then, the second movable seat 610 drives the push rod 620 and the spring wire 730 and ball 740 on the push rod 620 to move closer to the pipe feeding mechanism 400, so that the push rod 620 is aligned with the pipe hole 710 of the pipe 700. Finally, the push rod 620 drives the spring wire 730 and the ball 740 to be inserted into the pipe hole 710 of the pipe 700, and the ball 740 is ejected from the mounting hole 720 of the pipe 700. In this way, the assembly of the pipe 700, the spring wire 730, and the ball 740 can be completed. The whole process is highly automated and greatly improves the assembly efficiency of the pipe 700, the spring wire 730, and the ball 740.

[0073] Reference Figure 9 and Figure 10 In some embodiments, the push rod 620 has a plug-in end that can be inserted into the tube hole 710. The upper surface of the push rod 620 is provided with a receiving groove 621 extending to the plug-in end. The side wall of the receiving groove 621 is provided with a limiting groove 622 for receiving the periphery 742 of the ball 740. When the second movable seat 610 drives the push rod 620 to move closer to the first assembly mechanism 500, the plug-in end of the push rod 620 faces the first assembly mechanism 500. The first assembly mechanism 500 and the push rod 620 can move closer to each other, so that the assembled elastic wire 730 ball 740 moves closer to the push rod 620, and the ball 740 is embedded in the receiving groove 621, and the periphery 742 of the ball 740 is embedded in the limiting groove 622.

[0074] In the above structure, the receiving groove 621 allows the top rod 620 to receive the assembled spring wire 730 and the ball 740, while the limiting groove 622 limits the assembled spring wire 730 and the ball 740, preventing misalignment or tilting during subsequent assembly. Specifically, when the second assembly mechanism 600 is working, the second movable seat 610 first moves the top rod 620 closer to the first assembly mechanism 500, so that the insertion end of the top rod 620 faces the first assembly mechanism 500. Then, the first assembly mechanism 500 and the top rod 620 are moved closer to each other, so that the assembled spring wire 730 and the ball 740 move closer to the top rod 620, and the ball 740 is embedded in the receiving groove 621, with the periphery 742 of the ball 740 embedded in the limiting groove 622. Then, the second movable seat 610 drives the push rod 620 to move closer to the pipe feeding mechanism 400 and make the push rod 620 face the pipe hole 710 of the pipe 700. Finally, the push rod 620 drives the spring wire 730 and the ball 740 to be inserted into the pipe hole 710 of the pipe 700, so that the ball 740 can be ejected from the mounting hole 720 of the pipe 700. In this way, the assembly of the pipe 700, the spring wire 730 and the ball 740 can be completed. The whole process is highly automated and greatly improves the assembly efficiency of the pipe 700, the spring wire 730 and the ball 740.

[0075] It is understood that the first assembly mechanism 500 and the push rod 620 can move relatively closer together. Specifically, the first assembly mechanism 500 can drive the assembled spring wire 730 and the ball 740 to move closer to the push rod 620, causing the ball 740 to be embedded in the receiving groove 621, and the periphery 742 of the ball 740 to be embedded in the limiting groove 622. Specifically, refer to... Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the first assembly mechanism 500 includes a first movable seat 510 movably mounted on the frame 100 and a clamp 520 mounted on the first movable seat 510. The first movable seat 510 can drive the clamp 520 to move closer to the spring wire feeding mechanism 200 and clamp the spring wire 730. The first movable seat 510 can also drive the clamp 520 to move below the through groove 321. The clamp 520 is movably mounted on the first movable seat 510. The first movable seat 510 is equipped with a sixth driving device that is connected to the clamp 520 in a transmission manner. When the clamp 520 clamps the assembled spring wire 730 and the ball 740, and the first movable seat 510 drives the clamp 520 to move closer to the second assembly mechanism 600, the second movable seat 610 drives the push rod 620 to move closer to the first assembly mechanism 500 and make the insertion end of the push rod 620 face the first assembly mechanism 500, at this time, the sixth driving device can drive the clamp 520 to move forward closer to the push rod 620 and push the ball 740 into the receiving groove 621, so that the periphery 742 of the ball 740 is embedded in the limiting groove 622.

[0076] Alternatively, the first assembly mechanism 500 and the top rod 620 can move closer to each other. Alternatively, the second movable seat 610 can drive the top rod 620 to move closer to the first assembly mechanism 500 and cause the ball 740 to be embedded in the receiving groove 621, and the periphery 742 of the ball 740 to be embedded in the limiting groove 622. The present invention does not specifically limit this.

[0077] Understandably, referring to Figure 10 In some embodiments, the bottom wall of the receiving groove 621 is also provided with a relief groove for receiving the first elastic part 731 of the elastic wire 730.

[0078] Reference Figure 9 and Figure 10 In some embodiments, the second movable seat 610 includes a movable seat 611 and a rotating table 612. The movable seat 611 is movably mounted on the frame 100 and can move closer to or away from the pipe feeding mechanism 400. The rotating table 612 is rotatably mounted on the movable seat 611 and can rotate horizontally relative to the movable seat 611. The push rod 620 is mounted on the rotating table 612 and can rotate synchronously with the rotating table 612.

[0079] In the above structure, the rotating table 612 can drive the push rod 620 to reciprocate between the pipe feeding mechanism 400 and the second assembly mechanism 600. When the rotating table 612 drives the push rod 620 to move closer to the pipe feeding mechanism 400 and make the insertion end of the push rod 620 face the pipe hole 710 of the pipe 700, the moving seat 611 can push the push rod 620 to move and insert it into the pipe hole 710 of the pipe 700, and make the spring wire 730 and the ball 740 installed in the pipe hole 710 of the pipe 700. This allows the spring wire 730 and the ball 740 to be inserted into the pipe hole 710 of the pipe 700 more accurately, improving the assembly quality of the pipe 700, the spring wire 730, and the ball 740.

[0080] Understandably, referring to Figure 9 and Figure 10In some embodiments, the second movable seat 610 further includes a rotating frame 613, which is rotatably mounted on the rotating table 612. The rotating frame 613 can rotate upward or downward relative to the movable seat 611, and the push rod 620 is mounted on the rotating table 612 via the rotating frame 613. Specifically, when the rotating table 612 drives the push rod 620 to move closer to the pipe feeding mechanism 400 and the insertion end of the push rod 620 faces the pipe hole 710 of the pipe 700, the rotating frame 613 can drive the push rod 620 to rotate in the up and down direction to adjust the angle of the spring line 730, so that the bent part 733 of the spring line 730 can be aligned with the pipe hole 710 of the pipe 700. Then, the movable seat 611 pushes the push rod 620 to move and insert it into the pipe hole 710 of the pipe 700, so that the spring line 730 and the ball 740 are installed in the pipe hole 710 of the pipe 700. This allows the spring wire 730 and the ball bearing 740 to be inserted more accurately into the pipe hole 710 of the pipe fitting 700, improving the assembly quality of the pipe fitting 700, the spring wire 730, and the ball bearing 740.

[0081] It is understandable that the movable base 611 is movably mounted on rack 100, specifically, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 9 A guide rail 630 is mounted on the frame 100, and a movable seat 611 is movably mounted on the guide rail 630 and can move along the guide rail 630 to approach or move away from the pipe feeding mechanism 400. A second drive device is also provided on the frame 100 and is pulverizedly connected to the movable seat 611. The second drive device can drive the movable seat 611 to move along the guide rail 630 to approach or move away from the pipe feeding mechanism 400.

[0082] Understandably, the movable seat 611 is equipped with a first rotary drive mechanism that is pulsatorically connected to the rotating platform 612. The first rotary drive mechanism can drive the rotating platform 612 to rotate horizontally relative to the movable seat 611. The rotating platform 612 is equipped with a second rotary drive mechanism that is pulsatorically connected to the rotating frame 613. The second rotary drive mechanism can drive the rotating frame 613 to rotate vertically relative to the rotating platform 612.

[0083] Understandably, in order to improve the assembly efficiency between the pipe fitting 700, the spring wire 730, and the ball bearing 740, in some embodiments, the second assembly mechanism 600 includes a turntable and at least two second movable seats 610. All the second movable seats 610 are arranged circumferentially along the turntable. The turntable can drive the second movable seats 610 to rotate sequentially and approach the first assembly mechanism 500 and the pipe fitting feeding mechanism 400. Thus, during the operation of the second assembly mechanism 600, when the push rod 620 on one of the second movable seats 610 faces the first assembly mechanism 500 to obtain the spring wire 730 and the ball bearing 740 assembled on the first assembly mechanism 500, the push rod 620 on the other second movable seat 610 faces the pipe fitting feeding mechanism 400 and can insert the assembled spring wire 730 and the ball bearing 740 into the pipe hole 710 of the pipe fitting 700 of the pipe fitting feeding mechanism 400, thereby greatly improving the assembly efficiency between the pipe fitting 700, the spring wire 730, and the ball bearing 740.

[0084] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 11 In some embodiments, the pipe feeding mechanism 400 includes: a pipe conveying table 420, an angle adjustment mechanism, and a conveying mechanism 450. The pipe conveying table 420 is provided with an angle adjustment station and an assembly station for placing the pipe 700. The assembly station is located on one side of the second assembly mechanism 600. The angle adjustment mechanism includes a rotary drive device 430 and a positioning device 440 disposed on the frame 100. The positioning device 440 is located above the angle adjustment station and is used to position the mounting hole 720 of the pipe 700. The conveying mechanism 450 is movably disposed on the frame 100. The conveying mechanism 450 is drivenly connected to a fixture 460 for fixing the pipe 700. The fixture 460 is movably mounted on the pipe 700 conveying table 420. The conveying mechanism 450 can drive the fixture 460 to move to the angle adjustment station and the assembly station.

[0085] When the aforementioned feeding mechanism is in operation, the pipe fitting 700 is first placed on the fixture 460. The fixture 460 and the pipe fitting 700 on the fixture 460 are then conveyed to the angle adjustment station via the conveying mechanism 450. The pipe fitting 700 is driven to rotate by the rotary drive device 430, and the mounting hole 720 on the pipe fitting 700 is positioned by the positioning device 440 so that the mounting hole 720 faces upward. Then, the pipe fitting 700 with the adjusted angle is conveyed to the assembly station via the conveying mechanism 450. After that, the assembled spring wire 730 and ball bearing 740 can be inserted into the pipe hole 710 of the pipe fitting 700 via the second assembly mechanism 600.

[0086] Understandably, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 11 In some embodiments, the pipe feeding mechanism 400 further includes a pipe loading mechanism 410 disposed on one side of the pipe conveying table 420.

[0087] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 11 In some embodiments, the conveying structure is connected to multiple fixtures 460. When one fixture 460 is in the angle adjustment station, another fixture 460 is in the assembly station, which can greatly improve the assembly efficiency of the pipe 700, the string 730, and the ball 740.

[0088] It is understood that the conveying mechanism 450 can specifically adopt a transmission belt structure, or it can adopt a pushing structure, that is, use a pushing structure to push the fixture 460 to the angle adjustment station and the assembly station in sequence. In addition, the conveying mechanism 450 can also adopt a robotic arm, gripper, or other structures, which are not specifically limited in this invention.

[0089] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 11 In some embodiments, the rotary drive device 430 includes a roller, a third drive device, and a fourth drive device. The roller is movably mounted above the angle adjustment station, and its axis is arranged along the length of the fixture 460. The third drive device is located on the frame 100 and is driven by the roller, and can drive the roller to move relative to the frame 100 in the vertical direction toward or away from the angle adjustment station. The fourth drive device is located on the frame 100 and is driven by the roller, and can drive the roller to rotate.

[0090] In the above structure, when the angle of the pipe fitting 700 at the angle adjustment station needs to be adjusted, the third drive device first drives the roller to move downward relative to the frame 100 until it abuts against the pipe fitting 700, and then the fourth drive device drives the roller to rotate, thereby driving the pipe fitting 700 to rotate.

[0091] It is understood that, in addition to adopting a roller structure, the rotary drive device 430 can also adopt a gripper structure to clamp the pipe 700 and rotate the gripper to drive the rotating part to rotate. The present invention does not specifically limit the specific structure of the rotary drive device 430.

[0092] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 11 In some embodiments, the positioning device 440 includes a mounting base 442, a positioning pin 443, and a fifth driving device 441. The mounting base 442 is movably mounted above the angle adjustment station. The positioning pin 443 is movably mounted on the mounting base 442, and an elastic element (not shown in the figure) is provided between the positioning pin 443 and the mounting base 442, allowing the positioning pin 443 to reciprocate relative to the mounting base 442 in the vertical direction. The fourth driving device is located on the frame 100 and is drively connected to the mounting base 442, and the fifth driving device 441 can drive the mounting base 442 to reciprocate in the vertical direction.

[0093] In the above structure, when the angle of the pipe fitting 700 needs to be adjusted, the pipe fitting 700 is placed in the angle adjustment position. The fifth drive device 441 drives the mounting base 442 and the positioning pin 443 to move downwards until the positioning pin 443 presses against the pipe fitting 700 and the elastic element is in a contracted state. Then, the rotation drive device 430 drives the pipe fitting 700 to rotate. When the pipe fitting 700 rotates to the point where the mounting hole 720 faces upwards, the elastic element will push the positioning pin 443 into the mounting hole 720 of the pipe fitting 700 under its own elasticity, thereby preventing the pipe fitting 700 from continuing to rotate. At this time, the rotation drive device 430 stops working, and the fifth drive device 441 drives the mounting base 442 and the positioning pin 443 to move upwards away from the pipe fitting 700. This completes the angle adjustment process of the pipe fitting 700, so that the mounting hole 720 of the pipe fitting 700 faces upwards.

[0094] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
