[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0015] First, by setting a fixed plate, a movable plate, a clamping plate and a clamping frame, the electric push rod controls the clamping plate inside the fixed plate and the movable plate, and the clamping frame fits with the outer wall of the main valve body, so that the main valve body is fixed under the clamping of the two clamping frames. Moreover, the second motor can be controlled to drive the clamping plate and the clamping frame at the output end to rotate. Since the two clamping frames are engaged with the outside of the main valve body, the two clamping plates and the clamping frame drive the main valve body to rotate through the bearing, adjusting the direction of the ball valve. And the first motor can be controlled to drive the rotating plate at the output end to rotate, and then drive the fixed plate, the movable plate and the main valve body to rotate, adjusting the angle of the valve body, which is convenient for the valve body to be better assembled at different angles and directions.

[0016] Second, by setting a material box, a discharge chute, a partition plate, a push plate and a second hydraulic push rod, the position of the partition plate is adjusted in advance, the height of the adjusting plate in the discharge chute is adjusted, and the position of the push plate is adjusted. After the adjustment, the second hydraulic push rod can be controlled to operate. The internal technology of the second hydraulic push rod is the prior art. After the second hydraulic push rod operates, it drives the moving rod at the output end and multiple push plates to move at the bottom of the material box. When moving, it pushes the parts to roll to one side on the ball plate, and under the thrust, they are moved out through the discharge chute and slowly fall onto the second conveyor belt, so that multiple parts fall onto the second conveyor belt at the same time and can be conveyed to one side of the feeding robotic arm at the same time, which is convenient for the feeding robotic arm to grab through the pneumatic gripper.

[0017] Third, by setting a third motor, a lead screw, a support frame, a moving block, a cylinder, a support rod and a clamping sleeve, the third motor inside the limit box is controlled to operate, driving the lead screw at the output end to rotate. When the lead screw rotates, it drives the support frame and the moving block to move to one side through the thread sleeve, so that the two support rods inside the moving block move to both sides of the valve body flange. At this time, the two cylinders inside the moving block are controlled to operate. After the cylinders operate, they drive the support rods at the output end to move inward. When the support rods move inward, the clamping sleeves inside them are clamped to the outside of the two flanges. After the two flanges are clamped and limited by the clamping sleeves on both sides, they are passively aligned. Thus, the main valve body and the sub-valve body are aligned. After alignment, the screwing robotic arm grabs bolts and nuts to fixedly connect the two flanges, so that the main valve body and the sub-valve body are fixedly connected, and the assembly of the ball valve is completed.

When the lead screw 1003 rotates, it drives the support frame 1005 and the moving block 1006 to move to one side through the thread sleeve 1004, so that the two support rods 1008 inside the moving block 1006 move to both sides of the valve body flange. At this time, control the operation of the two cylinders 1007 inside the moving block 1006. After the cylinders 1007 operate, they drive the support rods 1008 at the output end to move inwards. When the support rods 1008 move inwards, the clamping sleeves 1009 on their inner sides are clamped to the outside of the two flanges. After the two flanges are clamped and limited by the clamping sleeves 1009 on both sides, they are passively aligned, so that the main valve body and the sub-valve body are aligned. After alignment, rotate the robotic arm 12 to grab bolts and nuts to fixedly connect the two flanges, so that the main valve body and the sub-valve body are fixedly connected, and then the ball valve assembly is completed.

[0034] Working principle: When the present invention is in use, the main valve body of the ball valve is conveyed onto the fourth conveyor belt 14 through the first conveyor belt 3. At this time, two first hydraulic push rods 5 operate. The internal technology of the first hydraulic push rod 5 is prior art. After the first hydraulic push rod 5 operates, it drives the movable seat 601 at the output end to move downward. When the movable seat 601 moves downward, it drives the rotating plate 603, the fixed plate 604 and the movable plate 605 below to move downward, so that the fixed plate 604 and the movable plate 605 move to both sides of the main valve body. At this time, control the electric push rod 606 to operate. The internal technology of the electric push rod 606 is prior art. After the electric push rod 606 operates, it drives the movable plate 605 to move. After the movable plate 605 moves, the clamping plate 607 and the clamping bracket 609 inside it are attached to the outer wall of the main valve body. And the movable plate 605 continues to move, and the main valve body is pushed by the clamping plate 607 to move towards the fixed plate 604. Finally, the main valve body is fixed under the clamping of the two clamping plates 607 and the clamping bracket 609, which is convenient for the assembly of the ball valve. And when the angle of the main valve body needs to be adjusted, the first hydraulic push rod 5 drives the movable seat 601 to move upward, so that the fixed plate 604 and the movable plate 605 move upward, and the main valve body is driven to move upward. At this time, control the second motor 608 to operate. The internal technology of the second motor 608 is prior art. After the second motor 608 operates, it drives the clamping plate 607 and the clamping bracket 609 at the output end to rotate. Since the two clamping brackets 609 are engaged with the outside of the main valve body, the two clamping plates 607 and the clamping bracket 609 drive the main valve body to rotate through the bearing, adjusting the direction of the ball valve. And the first motor 602 can be controlled to operate. The internal technology of the first motor 602 is prior art. After the first motor 602 operates, it drives the rotating plate 603 at the output end to rotate, and then drives the fixed plate 604, the movable plate 605 and the main valve body to rotate, adjusting the angle of the valve body, which is convenient for the valve body to be assembled better at different angles and directions. And in advance, according to the sizes of the valve seat gasket, the left valve seat, the right valve seat, the ball core, etc., adjust the position of the partition plate 703. After the partition plate 703 is fixed inside the material box 701 through the engaging groove 702, the separated space is used to stack parts such as the valve seat gasket. And according to the height of parts such as the valve seat gasket, select an adjusting plate 705 with an appropriate width, and then adjust the height of the adjusting plate 705 in the discharge chute 704. After adjustment, fix the adjusting plate 705 in the positioning groove through bolts. And the size of the discharge chute 704 formed after adjustment is used for the discharge of parts. At the same time, according to the size of the parts, adjust the position of the push plate 707. After adjustment, fix it at the bottom end of the moving rod 708 through bolts, so that the push plate 707 can be aligned with the position of the parts. After the main valve body is fixed, control the second hydraulic push rod 709 to operate. The internal technology of the second hydraulic push rod 709 is prior art. After the second hydraulic push rod 709 operates, it drives the moving rod 708 at the output end and multiple push plates 707 to move at the bottom end of the material box 701. When moving, it pushes the parts to roll to one side on the ball plate 706, and under the thrust, they are discharged through the discharge chute 704 and slowly fall onto the second conveyor belt 8.Then, multiple components fall onto the second conveyor belt 8 simultaneously and can be conveyed to one side of the feeding robotic arm 9 at the same time, facilitating the feeding robotic arm 9 to grasp them through the pneumatic gripper 13. After grasping, the components are sent into the interior of the main valve body for assembly. After the assembly is completed, the main valve body is vertically fixed, and the sub-valve body is conveyed through the third conveyor belt 11. After the feeding robotic arm 9 grasps the sub-valve body, it is conveyed to the top of the main valve body to make the flanges on the main valve body and the sub-valve body fit. At this time, the third motor 1002 is controlled to operate. The internal technology of the third motor 1002 is the prior art. After the third motor 1002 operates, it drives the output end lead screw 1003 to rotate. When the lead screw 1003 rotates, it drives the support frame 1005 and the moving block 1006 to move to one side through the threaded sleeve 1004, so that the two support rods 1008 inside the moving block 1006 move to both sides of the valve body flange. At this time, the two cylinders 1007 inside the moving block 1006 are controlled to operate. After the cylinders 1007 operate, they drive the output end support rods 1008 to move inward. Then, when the support rods 1008 move inward, the engaging sleeves 1009 inside them are engaged with the outer sides of the two flanges. After the two flanges are clamped and limited by the engaging sleeves 1009 on both sides, they are passively aligned, so that the main valve body and the sub-valve body are aligned.
