Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of flexible joint assembly, in particular to a flexible joint full-automatic assembly device and an assembly method. Background Art

[0002] A union is a type of pipe fitting. The connection form of a union is a fixed joint and a union joint. Both ends are connected to the corresponding pipe threads, and the middle is sealed with a PVC pad or a rubber pad. This design makes the union very convenient to install and disassemble, and also has good sealing performance. Unions play an important role in various construction and engineering projects due to their unique design and wide applicability. Unions are widely used in water pipe connections in kitchens and bathrooms because of their flexible installation and disassembly and excellent leak-proof performance. Whether it is installing a water heater, washing machine or connecting a sink and toilet, unions can provide a reliable connection solution. Hotels, office buildings, shopping malls and other places have extremely high requirements for the stability and reliability of the pipeline system. Unions ensure the normal operation of the water supply and drainage systems in these places through their excellent sealing performance and durability. As an important member of the pipe fittings market, the market demand for unions is also increasing. Especially in some developing countries and regions, with the continuous improvement of infrastructure construction and the development of industrial production, the demand for high-quality pipe fittings is increasing, which also provides a broad space for the development of the union market.
