Its significant advantages are convenient construction, safe and stable interface, excellent vibration isolation performance, small space occupation, strong corrosion resistance, and easy later maintenance and modification. Therefore, it is widely used in many fields such as water supply systems, machinery manufacturing, electronic equipment, and automobile manufacturing.

[0003] At present, the assembly process of rigid groove clamps has generally adopted the mode of collaborative operation of automated assembly lines and intelligent robotic arms, which has greatly improved production efficiency. However, in the face of the diverse size requirements of clamps and the requirements for rotation adjustment during the assembly process, the existing assembly lines appear to have relatively single functions and are difficult to fully meet the dual standards of production flexibility and efficiency.

[0004] Specifically, in the assembly process of the rigid groove clamp, the two semicircular clamps must first be accurately clamped and transferred to the assembly station. After the assembly is completed, the entire ring-shaped clamp must be transferred again. In this process, due to the particularity of the clamp shape, it is often necessary to configure a variety of robot arm clamps with different shapes and functions. Each clamp also needs to be equipped with a specific clamping program, which not only increases the complexity of the operation, but also brings many inconveniences in the subsequent maintenance and replacement process. Enterprises need to reserve a variety of clamp spare parts, which invisibly increases production costs and inventory management difficulties. In view of this, we propose an automated assembly system for rigid groove clamps. Summary of the invention

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0028] 1. The present invention designs a first clamping assembly, a second clamping assembly and a press. When the robot arm clamps the groove clamp, the sensor will contact the surface of the conveyor. At this time, the sensor triggers the press and the elastic telescopic rod continues to shrink as the robot arm continues to move. When the elastic telescopic rod shrinks to the limit, the robot arm stops moving downward. At this time, due to the continuous operation of the press, the press will inject gas into the guide assembly, so that the gas quickly enters the second clamping assembly above, so that the clamping assembly extends outward. After the clamping is completed, due to the continuous discharge of gas, the gas will enter the second clamping assembly below along the guide assembly, so that the lower The second clamping component extends outward, and when the second clamping component cannot be clamped for the first time, the gas will enter the adjusting component, thereby pushing the first clamping component to deform, thereby supporting and fixing the rigid groove clamp from the inside, so that the device can fix rigid groove clamps of different shapes and sizes only by starting the press through the sensor, and no human cooperation is required during the use process. At the same time, since the device is used in a sensor-triggered manner, the need for additional clamping procedures is reduced, and the difficulty of using the device is reduced. At the same time, there is no need to reserve a variety of clamp spare parts, which reduces production costs and the difficulty of inventory management.

[0029] 2. The present invention also designs a flow guide component and a second clamping component. When the press is running and the gas is delivered to the first conduit, the first conduit will directly deliver the gas to the six first slide cylinders above, so that the internal pressure of the three first slide cylinders above increases and squeezes the second slide cylinder to slide outward. When the second slide cylinder slides outward and contacts the outside of the rigid groove clamp, the second clamping block is squeezed and deformed and fits to the outside of the rigid groove clamp. At the same time, since the second slide cylinder continues to move outward, the second clamping block fits with the rigid groove clamp to fix the second slide cylinder. Therefore, the third slide cylinder slides into the second slide cylinder, and expands and contracts during the process of the third slide cylinder moving into the inside of the second slide cylinder. The tooth plate gradually contacts the inside of the second slide cylinder and squeezes backward, thereby pushing the telescopic tooth plate to slide into the third slide cylinder. At this time, the second gear will drive the second tooth plate to move to the left during the rotation, so that the second piston plate moves in the third slide cylinder and extracts the air in the second clamping block, so that the device can fix rigid groove clamps of different sizes through the extension and contraction of the first slide cylinder, the second slide cylinder and the third slide cylinder, and after fixing, the air in the second clamping block can be synchronously extracted to further fix the rigid groove clamp by adsorption, which further improves the stability of the device when clamping the rigid groove clamp and reduces the difficulty of using the device.

[0030] 3. The present invention also designs a second clamping assembly. After the six first slide cylinders, the second slide cylinder and the third slide cylinder are adjusted, the gas cannot enter the six first slide cylinders. At this time, the continuously discharged gas will enter the first sealing tube, causing the pressure in the first sealing tube to increase and push the first piston plate downward. When the first piston plate enters the second sealing tube, a large amount of gas will enter the third conduit along the gap between the first piston plate and the second sealing tube, and then enter the six first slide cylinders below, and fix the rigid groove clamp again through the second clamping block, so that the device can first fix the top of the groove clamp by a double fixing method to ensure the basic position of the groove clamp, and then fix the bottom of the groove clamp to achieve a lifting effect, thereby further improving the stability of the device when clamping the rigid groove clamp.

By designing the first clamping component 203, the second clamping component 207 and the press 201, when the robot arm 103 clamps the groove clamp, the sensor 209 will contact the surface of the conveyor 102. At this time, the sensor 209 triggers the press 201 and as the robot arm 103 continues to move, the elastic telescopic rod continues to shrink. When the elastic telescopic rod is retracted to the limit, the mechanical arm 103 stops moving downward. At this time, due to the continuous operation of the press 201, the press 201 will inject gas into the guide component 205, so that the gas quickly enters the upper second clamping component 207, so that the clamping component extends outward. After the clamping is completed, due to the continuous discharge of gas, the gas will enter the lower second clamping component 207 along the guide component 205, so that the lower second clamping component 207 extends outward. When the second clamping component 207 cannot be clamped again, the gas will enter the adjustment component. 204, thereby pushing the first clamping component 203 to deform, thereby supporting and fixing the rigid groove clamp from the inside, so that the device only needs to start the press 201 through the sensor 209 to complete the fixing of rigid groove clamps of different shapes and sizes, and no human cooperation is required during the use process. At the same time, since the device is used in a way triggered by the sensor 209, the need for additional clamping procedures is reduced, and the difficulty of using the device is reduced. At the same time, there is no need to reserve a variety of clamp spare parts, which reduces production costs and the difficulty of inventory management.

[0049] In the embodiment of the present invention, there are two assembly machines 101, and the conveyor 102 is arranged between the two assembly machines 101. The upper part of the conveyor 102 is tightly welded to the lower part of the robot arm 103, and the lower part of the press 201 is connected to the upper part of the two guide components 205, and the two guide components 205 are respectively connected to the two adjustment components 204, and the two adjustment components 204 are meshed with the same first clamping component 203, and the first clamping component 203 is fixedly connected in the top plate 202, and the upper part of the top plate 202 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the press 201, and the lower part of the top plate 202 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the two side plates 206, and the upper part of the top plate 202 is connected to the two adjustment components.

By designing the guide assembly 205 and the second clamping assembly 207, when the press 201 is running and transporting gas to the first conduit 2043, the first conduit 2043 will directly transport the gas to the six first slide cylinders 2071 above, so that the internal pressure of the three first slide cylinders 2071 above increases and squeezes The second slide cylinder 2072 slides outward, and when the second slide cylinder 2072 slides outward and contacts the outside of the rigid groove clamp, the second clamping block 2079 is squeezed and deformed and fits against the outside of the rigid groove clamp. At the same time, since the second slide cylinder 2072 continues to move outward, the second clamping block 2079 fits against the rigid groove clamp to fix the second slide cylinder 2072. Therefore, the third slide cylinder 2073 slides into the second slide cylinder 2072. In the process of the third slide cylinder 2073 moving into the second slide cylinder 2072, the telescopic tooth plate 2074 gradually contacts the inside of the second slide cylinder 2072 and squeezes backward, thereby pushing the telescopic tooth plate 2074 into the third slide cylinder 2073. Sliding, at this time, the second gear 2075 will drive the second tooth plate 2077 to move to the left during the rotation, so that the second piston plate 2078 extracts the air in the second clamping block 2079 while moving in the third slide cylinder 2073, so that the device can fix rigid groove clamps of different sizes through the extension and contraction of the first slide cylinder 2071, the second slide cylinder 2072 and the third slide cylinder 2073, and after the fixation is completed, the air in the second clamping block 2079 can be synchronously extracted to further fix the rigid groove clamp by adsorption, which further improves the stability of the device when clamping the rigid groove clamp and reduces the difficulty of using the device.

When the first piston plate 2056 When entering the second sealing tube 2053, a large amount of gas will enter the third conduit 2057 along the gap between the first piston plate 2056 and the second sealing tube 2053, and then enter the six first slide cylinders 2071 below, and fix the rigid groove clamp again through the second clamping block 2079, so that the device can first fix the top of the groove clamp by double fixing to ensure the basic position of the groove clamp, and then fix the bottom of the groove clamp to achieve a lifting effect, thereby further improving the stability of the device when clamping the rigid groove clamp.

[0054] When the robot arm 103 clamps the groove clamp, the sensor 209 will contact the surface of the conveyor 102. At this time, the sensor 209 triggers the press 201 and the elastic telescopic rod continues to shrink as the robot arm 103 continues to move. When the elastic telescopic rod shrinks to the limit, the robot arm 103 stops moving downward. At this time, due to the continuous operation of the press 201, the press 201 will inject gas into the guide component 205, so that the gas quickly enters the upper second clamping component 207, so that the clamping component extends outward. After the clamping is completed, due to the continuous discharge of gas, the gas will enter the lower second clamping component 207 along the guide component 205, so that the lower second clamping component 207 extends outward. When the second clamping component 207 cannot be clamped again, the gas will enter the adjustment component 204, thereby pushing the first clamping component 203 to deform, so as to support and fix the rigid groove clamp from the inside.

[0055] When the press 201 is running and the gas is delivered to the first conduit 2043, the first conduit 2043 will directly deliver the gas to the six first slide cylinders 2071 above, so that the internal pressure of the three first slide cylinders 2071 above increases, and squeezes the second slide cylinder 2072 to slide outward. When the second slide cylinder 2072 slides outward and contacts the outside of the rigid groove clamp, the second clamping block 2079 is squeezed and deformed and fits to the outside of the rigid groove clamp. At the same time, since the second slide cylinder 2072 continues to move outward, the second clamping block 2079 fits with the rigid groove clamp to thereby The second slide cylinder 2072 is fixed, so the third slide cylinder 2073 will slide into the second slide cylinder 2072, and during the movement of the third slide cylinder 2073 into the second slide cylinder 2072, the telescopic tooth plate 2074 gradually contacts the inside of the second slide cylinder 2072 and squeezes backwards, thereby pushing the telescopic tooth plate 2074 to slide into the third slide cylinder 2073. At this time, the second gear 2075 will drive the second tooth plate 2077 to move to the left during the rotation process, so that the second piston plate 2078 extracts air in the second clamping block 2079 while moving in the third slide cylinder 2073;

[0056] After the six first slide cylinders 2071, the second slide cylinder 2072 and the third slide cylinder 2073 are adjusted, the gas cannot enter the six first slide cylinders 2071 at the top. At this time, the continuously discharged gas will enter the first sealing tube 2052, so that the pressure in the first sealing tube 2052 increases and pushes the first piston plate 2056 to move downward. When the first piston plate 2056 enters the second sealing tube 2053, a large amount of gas will enter the third conduit 2057 along the gap between the first piston plate 2056 and the second sealing tube 2053, and then enter the six first slide cylinders 2071 at the bottom, and fix the rigid groove clamp again through the second clamping block 2079;

[0057] When the air pressure inside the twelve first slide cylinders 2071 is full, a large amount of gas will accumulate in the first conduit 2043 and the second conduit 2051. When the pressure is higher than the threshold set by the pressure valve 2044, the pressure valve 2044 opens, and a large amount of gas will quickly enter the sealing telescopic rod 2042 along the first conduit 2043, so that the sealing telescopic rod 2042 extends and drives the first tooth plate 2041 to move. With the movement of the first tooth plate 2041, the first gear 2032 will rotate, so that the rotating rod 2031 is affected by the first gear. The wheel 2032 rotates, and several elastic multi-section telescopic rods and the chassis 2038 connected to the outside of the rotating rod 2031 will rotate. Since the positions of the base plate 2034 and several adjusting rods 2035 remain unchanged, the first clamping block 2036 will gradually move outward along the guide groove 2039 as the rotating rod 2031 rotates due to the contact between the inclined groove 2037 on its surface and the adjusting rod 2035. As the rotation angle increases, the first clamping block 2036 will continue to move outward until it is completely fitted with the inner wall of the rigid groove clamp.

A person skilled in the art can easily understand the spirit of the present invention based on the above embodiments and make different extensions and changes. However, as long as they do not deviate from the spirit of the present invention, they are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
