Specifically, it relates to a pairing device consisting of a circular loading port cover. Background technology:
[0002] The circular loading hatch cover is a sealing component for the roof of a grain truck. The circular loading hatch cover assembly includes a circular loading hatch cover 2, a pressure plate 1, a hinged upright plate 4, and a bolt mounting base 5 (e.g., ...). Figures 1-5 As shown, an EPDM rubber sealing gasket is installed on the bolt connection seat 5. The quality of the circular loading port cover assembly directly affects the loading and transportation of goods in the grain truck. If the circular loading port cover assembly has poor sealing performance, water leakage will occur during use, affecting the safety of loading grain.
[0003] Currently, when assembling the round loading hatch cover, template marking is used to assemble the various components. However, the quality of the assembled parts is easily affected by the operator's skill level, making it difficult to guarantee the straightness of the center lines of the two hinge plates and the pressure plate. After assembly with the grain truck roof cover, the opening is not flexible. Therefore, the assembled parts have poor consistency and weak interchangeability. At the same time, there is a certain error on the upper plane of the bolt connection seat, which leads to poor sealing after the sealing gasket is installed. Summary of the Invention:
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides an assembly device for circular loading port covers, which improves the assembly efficiency of the circular loading port covers, ensures good consistency of the assembled workpieces, and effectively guarantees the straightness of the center lines of the pressure plate and the two hinged uprights, the coaxiality of the pin holes of the two hinged uprights, and the flatness of the upper surface of the bolt mounting base.
