Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of assembly mechanisms, and particularly to a pressing and assembling mechanism and a pipe fitting feeding and assembling system. Background Art

[0002] In the current production process, the existing pressing and assembling mechanism has obvious limitations. This mechanism only has the ability to punch and assemble side plates at one end of the pipe fitting, which has caused a series of problems in actual production. When it is necessary to assemble side plates at both ends of the pipe fitting, due to the single function of this mechanism, it has to be processed in two separate times, that is, two independent processes are required to complete. There is a time interval between these two processes, and each process requires pre-work such as equipment debugging and material preparation, which undoubtedly greatly increases the time consumed in the entire production process, resulting in very low production efficiency.

[0003] In addition, from each link of the processing, steps such as flaring the end of the pipe fitting, sleeving the side plate, and sealing the mouth are all realized separately in the existing production mode. Each step requires special equipment to complete, which means that a large number of equipment with different functions need to be equipped. The use of multiple equipment not only increases the equipment procurement cost, but also requires more manpower, material resources and financial resources in terms of equipment maintenance, maintenance, storage, etc. At the same time, the increase in the number of equipment also makes the layout of the production workshop more complex, increasing the difficulty of production management. Therefore, from the perspective of reducing costs and improving efficiency, there is an urgent need to develop an integrated equipment for assembling side plates at both ends of pipe fittings, through which the synchronous processing of each step of assembling side plates at both ends of the pipe fitting can be realized, thus effectively solving the current problems of high cost and low efficiency.
