Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of valve body assembly, in particular to a valve stem clamping ring assembly device for valve body machining. Background Art

[0002] Valves are pipeline accessories used to open and close pipelines, control flow direction, and regulate and control the parameters of the conveyed medium (temperature, pressure, and flow). Based on their function, they can be divided into shut-off valves, check valves, and regulating valves. Valves are control components in fluid conveying systems, performing functions such as shutoff, regulation, diversion, backflow prevention, pressure stabilization, diversion, and overflow pressure relief. Valves used in fluid control systems come in a wide variety of types and specifications, from the simplest shut-off valves to the most complex valves used in automatic control systems. Valves can be used to control the flow of various types of fluids, including air, water, steam, various corrosive media, mud, oil, liquid metal, and radioactive media.

[0003] Among the various components of a valve, the valve body is a primary component, while the valve core is the valve part that uses the movement of the valve body to achieve the basic functions of directional control, pressure control, or flow control. Valve cores can be divided into rotational types (such as 45°, 90°, 180°, and 360°) and translational types (such as radial and directional). Based on their shape, they can generally be divided into spherical (ball valves), conical (plug valves), disc-shaped (butterfly valves and gate valves), dome-shaped (globe valves and check valves), and cylindrical (diverter valves).

[0004] The valve core is mainly composed of the following parts: valve core body: This is the main part of the valve core, usually cylindrical or conical, with a certain number of channels on its surface for controlling the flow of liquid. The design and shape of the valve core body have a significant impact on the performance of the valve, such as flow rate, pressure loss and sealing performance; valve core cone: This is the part used to control the flow of liquid. Its shape and size will affect the flow rate and flow of the liquid. The accuracy and surface quality of the valve core cone have a direct impact on the sealing performance and life of the valve; spring: The spring is used to apply a certain pressure to the valve core to ensure the stable operation of the valve core. The stiffness and preload of the spring can be adjusted according to the specific application scenario and requirements. In addition, depending on the type of valve and specific design requirements, the valve core may also include other auxiliary components, such as sealing rings, guide devices, limit devices, etc. These components can further improve the sealing performance, stability and service life of the valve.

[0005] In the assembly process of the valve body, the most important step is the assembly step of the valve core (valve stem, retaining ring, etc.). In the existing technology, conventional technical means are mostly carried out manually. Although manual positioning is performed manually, the retaining ring installation process is complicated and needs to be compressed before it can be installed in the valve body. This not only causes low efficiency in manual installation of the retaining ring, but may also lead to unstable quality. In the automated assembly of valve stems, retaining rings, etc., due to the large number of parts in the valve body and the need to be accurately assembled in the center position of the valve body, positioning accuracy becomes the biggest factor affecting the quality of the valve body. Inaccurate positioning not only affects the quality of the valve body, but also easily leads to a decrease in assembly efficiency and a decrease in output.

[0006] Currently, no effective solutions have been proposed for the problems in related technologies. Summary of the Invention

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a valve stem clamping ring assembly device for valve body processing, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] 1. This type of valve stem clamp assembly equipment for valve body processing has the following advantages: since the spacing between the assembly positions of two adjacent assembly mechanisms is equal along the forward direction of the assembly track, the assembly distance is the same as the spacing between the assembly positions of two adjacent assembly mechanisms, and the spacing between two adjacent assembly grooves is the same as the spacing between the assembly positions of two adjacent assembly mechanisms, so that each time each supporting seat moves an assembly distance synchronously, each supporting seat can stably move to the bottom of the next assembly mechanism, so that the assembly groove of each supporting seat is aligned with the assembly position of the assembly mechanism, and then the fixing mechanism temporarily fixes each supporting seat located inside the assembly track, and each assembly mechanism assembles the corresponding parts inside the corresponding supporting seat respectively.

[0021] 2. This type of valve stem clamp assembly equipment for valve body processing, in the forward direction of the assembly track, the supporting seat is assembled under each assembly mechanism in turn, and then leaves the supporting seat of the last assembly mechanism, and after continuing to move an assembly distance, enters the reversing track, and enters the conveying track along the reversing track; at the tail end of the conveying track, the assembled valve body inside the supporting seat is detached from the inside of the supporting seat and collected, and the empty supporting seat enters the reset track from the tail end of the conveying track, and the empty supporting seat re-enters the assembly track along the reset track, and so on and so forth.

[0022] 3. This type of valve stem clamp assembly equipment for valve body processing, when the driving belt rotates, can drive the entire support seat to move an assembly distance each time within the limitation of the positioning groove and the positioning rail through the engagement between the driving belt and the driven rack, and can slide along the assembly rail, and can assemble the valve body in sequence. After the assembly is completed, the reciprocating sliding plate of the reversing rail is pre-moved to one end of the assembly rail, and then the driving belt extending into the reversing rail is used to move the support seat into the reversing rail, so that the driving block and the positioning groove slide, and the driving block enters the positioning groove, and then, under the drive of the reciprocating drive guide rail, the driving block and the positioning groove are engaged. The inner walls of the grooves fit together, and the movement of the driving block can drive the supporting seat to reciprocate synchronously with the reciprocating sliding plate, thereby moving the supporting seat to one end close to the conveying track.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] As introduced in the background technology, in order to solve the deficiencies in the prior art and the above technical problems, the present application proposes a valve stem clamping ring assembly device for valve body processing.

[0037] See also Figures 1-9 , a valve stem clamp assembly device for valve body processing, comprising several supporting seats 1, each supporting seat 1 continuously circulates along a given circulation path, the circulation path sequentially comprising an assembly track 2, a reversing track 3, a conveying track 4 and a reset track 5, the assembly track 2, the reversing track 3, the conveying track 4 and the reset track 5 are sequentially connected end to end, a plurality of assembly mechanisms 6 are provided on the outside of the assembly track 2, and a fixing mechanism 7 is provided on the inside of the assembly track 2; an assembly groove 11 is provided on the upper surface of each supporting seat 1, each assembly mechanism 6 has an assembly position, and each assembly mechanism 6 can assemble the corresponding parts on the assembly position; on the assembly track 2, each supporting seat 1 can move an assembly distance at a time, and after each support seat 1 moves, each The assembly groove 11 is aligned with the assembly position of the corresponding assembly mechanism 6, and the fixing mechanism 7 temporarily fixes each support seat 1; each assembly mechanism 6 assembles the corresponding parts inside the corresponding support seat 1, and after all the assembly mechanisms 6 are assembled at the same time, the fixing mechanism 7 unlocks each support seat 1, and each support seat 1 continues to move an assembly distance to assemble the valve body in turn; the support seat 1 leaving the last assembly mechanism 6 enters the reversing track 3 after continuing to move an assembly distance, and enters the conveying track 4 along the reversing track 3; at the tail end of the conveying track 4, the assembled valve body inside the support seat 1 is detached from the inside of the support seat 1 and collected, and the empty support seat 1 enters the reset track 5 from the tail end of the conveying track 4, and the empty support seat 1 re-enters the assembly track 2 along the reset track 5.

[0038] Along the forward direction of the assembly track 2, the spacing between the assembly positions of two adjacent assembly mechanisms 6 is equal, the assembly distance is the same as the spacing between the assembly positions of two adjacent assembly mechanisms 6, and the spacing between two adjacent assembly grooves 11 is the same as the spacing between the assembly positions of two adjacent assembly mechanisms 6.

[0039] When in use, since the spacing between the assembly positions of two adjacent assembly mechanisms 6 along the forward direction of the assembly track 2 is equal, the assembly distance is the same as the spacing between the assembly positions of two adjacent assembly mechanisms 6, and the spacing between two adjacent assembly grooves 11 is the same as the spacing between the assembly positions of two adjacent assembly mechanisms 6, so that each time each support seat 1 synchronously moves an assembly distance, each support seat 1 can stably move to the bottom of the next assembly mechanism 6, so that the assembly groove 11 of each support seat 1 is aligned with the assembly position of the assembly mechanism 6, and then the fixing mechanism 7 temporarily fixes each support seat 1 located inside the assembly track 2, and each assembly mechanism 6 respectively assembles the corresponding parts inside the corresponding support seat 1, and after all the assembly mechanisms 6 are assembled at the same time, the fixing mechanism 7 unlocks each support seat 1, and each support seat 1 continues to move an assembly distance, and the valve body is assembled in sequence, thereby accurately positioning in each assembly step of the valve body, effectively ensuring the accuracy and effectiveness of the assembly, and improving the effect of the valve body assembly;

[0040] In the forward direction of the assembly track 2, the supporting seat 1 is assembled under each assembly mechanism 6 in turn, and after the supporting seat 1 leaves the last assembly mechanism 6, it continues to move an assembly distance and enters the reversing track 3, and enters the conveying track 4 along the reversing track 3 (in actual use, the structure and operation principle of the conveying track 4 are similar to those of the assembly track 2. The difference is that the driving source of the conveying track 4 is an independently set motor drive); at the tail end of the conveying track 4, the assembled valve body inside the supporting seat 1 is separated from the inside of the supporting seat 1 and collected (the structure of collecting the assembled valve body at the tail end of the conveying track 4 is a common technical solution in the prior art, which can be The assembled valve body is collected by grabbing or flipping the material by a robotic arm), the empty supporting seat 1 enters the reset track 5 from the tail end of the conveying track 4 (when in use, the reset track 5 and the reversing track 3 have the same structure and operation principle), and the empty supporting seat 1 re-enters the assembly track 2 along the reset track 5, and repeats this cycle. The assembly operation can be continuously performed on each continuously running supporting seat 1. Through the continuous reciprocating cycle, the various components of the valve body can be regularly and quickly assembled, and the valve stem retaining ring that needs to be strictly positioned in the various components of the valve body can be stably positioned under the condition of rapid assembly, thereby effectively ensuring the assembly efficiency of the valve body.

[0041] Further, see Figures 1-6The assembly track 2 includes a positioning track 21 and a driving belt 22. A positioning groove 12 and a driven rack 13 are provided on the lower surface of the supporting seat 1. The positioning groove 12 is aligned with the positioning track 21, and the driven rack 13 is aligned with the driving belt 22. When the driving belt 22 rotates, the engagement between the driving belt 22 and the driven rack 13 can drive the entire supporting seat 1 to slide along the assembly track 2 under the restriction of the positioning groove 12 and the positioning track 21.

[0042] The reversing track 3 includes a reciprocating drive guide rail 31 and a reciprocating sliding plate 32. Under the drive of the reciprocating drive guide rail 31, the reciprocating sliding plate 32 can stay at both ends of the reciprocating drive guide rail 31 respectively, and under the drive of the reciprocating drive guide rail 31, reciprocate between the two ends of the reciprocating drive guide rail 31.

[0043] A driving block 321 is provided at the top of the reciprocating sliding plate 32. When the supporting seat 1 enters the reversing track 3 from the assembly track 2 and enters the conveying track 4 from the reversing track 3, the driving block 321 can slide inside the positioning groove 12; when the reciprocating sliding plate 32 reciprocates between the two ends of the reciprocating drive guide rail 31, the driving block 321 fits against the inner wall of the positioning groove 12, and the movement of the driving block 321 can drive the supporting seat 1 to reciprocate synchronously with the reciprocating sliding plate 32.

[0044] The two ends of the driving belt 22 extend into the reversing track 3 and the reset track 5 respectively; when the supporting seat 1 enters the reversing track 3 from the assembly track 2, the movement of the driving block 321 can drive the supporting seat 1 to disengage from the driving belt 22; when the supporting seat 1 enters the assembly track 2 from the reset track 5, the supporting seat 1 can move back to the driving belt 22, and the driven rack 13 re-engages with the driving belt 22.

[0045] Therefore, when in use, inside the assembly track 2, when the driving belt 22 rotates, the entire supporting seat 1 can be driven by the engagement between the driving belt 22 and the driven rack 13, within the limitation of the positioning groove 12 and the positioning track 21, to move an assembly distance each time, slide along the assembly track 2, and assemble the valve body in sequence. After the assembly is completed, the reciprocating sliding plate 32 of the reversing track 3 is pre-moved to one end of the assembly track 2, and then the driving belt 22 extending into the reversing track 3 is used to move the supporting seat 1 into the reversing track 3, so that the driving block 321 and the positioning groove 12 slide, the driving block 321 enters the positioning groove 12, and then, under the drive of the reciprocating driving guide rail 31, the driving block 321 and the positioning groove 1 are engaged. 2, the inner walls of the support seat 1 fit together, and the movement of the driving block 321 can drive the support seat 1 to reciprocate synchronously with the reciprocating sliding plate 32, thereby moving the support seat 1 to one end close to the conveying track 4. At this time, similarly, the support seat 1 enters the conveying track 4 from the reversing track 3; at the tail end of the conveying track 4, the assembled valve body inside the support seat 1 is separated from the inside of the support seat 1 and collected, and the empty support seat 1 enters the reset track 5 from the tail end of the conveying track 4. When the empty support seat 1 enters the assembly track 2 from the reset track 5, the empty support seat 1 can be moved back to the driving belt 22, and the driven rack 13 is re-engaged with the driving belt 22. The empty support seat 1 re-enters the assembly track 2 to continue the continuous cycle of assembly, effectively completing the assembly operation of the valve body.

[0046] Further, see Figures 1-8 The fixing mechanism 7 includes a rotating shaft 71 and several bearing seats 72. The rotating shaft 71 passes through each bearing seat 72 in sequence. Several fixing rods 73 are fixedly arranged on the outside of the rotating shaft 71. A fixing groove 14 is opened in the center of one side of each supporting seat 1 close to the fixing mechanism 7; after each support seat 1 is moved, each fixing rod 73 is aligned with the fixing groove 14 of each supported seat 1 after the movement, and the rotating shaft 71 rotates under the limit of each bearing seat 72, which can drive each fixing rod 73 to rotate into each fixing groove 14, thereby temporarily fixing each supported seat 1.

[0047] A belt drive gear 23 and several driven limit gears 24 are provided on the inner side of the driving belt 22. The belt drive gear 23 is meshed with the inner side of the driving belt 22. Under the drive of the belt drive gear 23, the driving belt 22 can rotate under the tension limit of the belt drive gear 23 and the several driven limit gears 24; a one-way transmission mechanism 25 is provided through the center of the belt drive gear 23, and the one-way transmission mechanism 25 includes a transmission pawl 251 and a transmission ratchet 252, and a transmission shaft 26 is provided through the center of the transmission ratchet 252; when the transmission shaft 26 rotates forward, the belt drive gear 23 can be driven to rotate through the transmission of the transmission pawl 251 and the transmission ratchet 252, thereby driving the driving belt 22 to rotate; when the transmission shaft 26 is stationary and rotates in the reverse direction, the driving belt 22 stops rotating.

[0048] A reverse transmission mechanism 74 is provided on the outer side of the end of the transmission shaft 26 close to the rotating shaft 71. The direction of the unidirectional transmission of the reverse transmission mechanism 74 is opposite to the unidirectional transmission direction of the unidirectional transmission mechanism 25; a rotating link 75 is also connected to one side of the reverse transmission mechanism 74, and a driven link 76 is fixedly provided on the outer side of the rotating shaft 71. The rotating link 75 is rotatably connected to the driven link 76 at the end away from the reverse transmission mechanism 74; when the transmission shaft 26 rotates in the reverse direction, the reverse transmission mechanism 74 can be used to drive the rotating link 75 to rotate up and down at the end away from the reverse transmission mechanism 74, thereby driving the fixed rod 73 to rotate and temporarily fix and unlock each supporting seat 1; when the transmission shaft 26 is stationary and rotates forward, the fixed rod 73 stops at the unlocking position of the supporting seat 1.

[0049] Therefore, when in use, when the transmission shaft 26 rotates in the forward direction, the transmission pawl 251 and the transmission ratchet 252 can be used to drive the belt drive gear 23 to rotate, thereby driving the drive belt 22 to rotate, so that each time the transmission shaft 26 rotates in the forward direction, the drive belt 2 moves an assembly distance (linear distance); when the transmission shaft 26 is stationary and rotates in the reverse direction, the drive belt 22 stops rotating; when the transmission shaft 26 rotates in the reverse direction, the reverse transmission mechanism 74 can be used to drive the rotating connecting rod 75 to rotate up and down at one end away from the reverse transmission mechanism 74, thereby driving the fixed rod 73 to rotate and adjust the speed of the transmission shaft 26 to the desired speed. Each supporting seat 1 is temporarily fixed and unlocked; when the transmission shaft 26 is stationary and rotates forward, the fixing rod 73 stops at the unlocking position of the supporting seat 1, so that the forward and reverse movement of the driving transmission shaft 26 can be driven to control the movement of the driving belt 22 and the rotation of the fixing rod 73 respectively, so that the speed and rotation time of the transmission shaft 26 can be controlled by the servo motor, and the moving distance (assembly distance) of the supporting seat 1 and the temporary fixing and unlocking of each supporting seat 1 can be stably controlled by a control unit, thereby effectively ensuring a stable assembly process on each supporting seat 1.

[0050] Further, see Figure 1-Figure 2、 Figure 5-Figure 6 Each assembly mechanism 6 includes a loading unit 61 and an assembly unit 62. The loading unit 61 can provide parts to the corresponding assembly unit 62. In the conveying direction of each support seat 1 along the assembly track 2, the assembly unit 62 of each assembly mechanism 6 can sequentially assemble parts into the assembly slot 11 located at the assembly position. Please refer to Figure 9 , assemble the valve body from outside to inside according to the various components of the valve body.

[0051] While embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, and that the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
