Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of stop valve assembly, in particular to a stop valve stem and valve core synchronous assembly machine. Background Art

[0002] As an extremely important shut-off valve, the sealing pair of the stop valve is mainly composed of the valve core sealing surface and the valve seat sealing surface. By applying torque to the valve stem to drive the valve core to move vertically along the center line of the valve seat, the valve core sealing surface can be closely fitted with the valve seat sealing surface, thereby preventing the medium from leaking along the gap between the two sealing surfaces. When assembling the stop valve, the synchronous assembly of the valve stem and the valve core is one of the key steps to ensure the normal operation of the stop valve, and the common synchronous assembly methods between the valve stem and the valve core are: threaded connection assembly method, pin fixed assembly method, spring fixed assembly method, key connection assembly method, etc. Among them, the threaded connection assembly method is the most widely used assembly method.

[0003] After searching, the Chinese invention patent with the publication number of CN 109794750 A discloses a new type of automatic assembly and shrinking device for the valve stem of a stop valve, including a base, a pillar welded to one side outer wall of the base, a hydraulic cylinder fixed to one side outer wall of the pillar by screws, a mounting block welded to the end of the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder, a first manipulator is arranged on the bottom outer wall of the mounting block, a top plate is welded to the top outer wall of the pillar, a limit plate is welded to the middle of the bottom outer wall of the top plate, a mounting groove is provided in the middle of the outer wall of the side of the limit plate away from the pillar, and a pressure sensor is fixed inside the mounting groove by screws, a groove is provided at the end of the bottom of the top plate away from the pillar, an electric slide is installed on the top inner wall of the groove by screws, a slider is slidably connected to the inner wall of the electric slide, a connecting rod is welded to the bottom end of the slider, and a positioning rod is welded to one side outer wall of the connecting rod. Compared with the prior art, the Chinese invention patent with the publication number of CN 109794750 A has a simple structure, less manufacturing materials, can reduce manufacturing costs, and can accurately locate the installation position after feeding.

[0004] However, during the process of threaded assembly of the valve stem and the valve core by the automatic assembly shrinking device of the valve stem of the above-mentioned new type of stop valve, there is an assembly distance between the end of the valve stem and the top of the valve core instead of being in a state of contact with each other, which will make it difficult to effectively control the assembly torsion between the valve stem and the valve core. However, if the assembly torsion between the valve stem and the valve core is too small, it will affect the firmness of the connection between the two. If the assembly torsion between the valve stem and the valve core is too large, it will increase the difficulty of subsequent disassembly, which will affect the assembly quality between the valve stem and the valve core. Therefore, a stop valve stem and valve core synchronous assembly machine that can effectively control the assembly torsion between the valve stem and the valve core is needed.

Example

[0019] like Figure 1-Figure 6 and Figure 10-Figure 15 As shown, a stop valve stem and valve core synchronous assembly machine proposed by the present invention comprises an assembly machine base 100, a valve stem fixing and pressing mechanism 200 arranged inside the assembly machine base 100, a valve core fixing and rotating mechanism 300, and a controller 400 embedded outside the assembly machine base 100, the valve stem fixing and pressing mechanism 200 fixes and presses the valve stem 500, and the valve core fixing and rotating mechanism 300 fixes and rotates the valve core 600, thereby realizing the synchronous assembly of the stop valve stem 500 and the valve core 600, and the specific structure and connection method of the controller 400 adopt the existing technology, so they are not described in detail in this embodiment; The valve stem fixing and pressing mechanism 200 and the valve core fixing and rotating mechanism 300 both include a fixing tool 230 for fixing the valve stem 500 or the valve core 600. The fixing tool 230 includes a horizontal electro-hydraulic rod group 231 installed on the inner side of the U-shaped body 202 or the top side of the rotating chassis 304. The input end of the horizontal electro-hydraulic rod group 231 is connected to the controller 400. The output end of the horizontal electro-hydraulic rod group 231 is fixedly connected to a movable block 232. The outer side of the movable block 232 is provided with a fixed block 233 in a relatively opposite position. The fixed block 233 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the U-shaped body 202 or the top side of the rotating chassis 304. The inner sides of the movable block 232 and the fixed block 233 are both provided with anti-skid pads 234. By starting the extension and retraction of the horizontal electro-hydraulic rod group 231 through the controller 400, the movable block 232 and the fixed block 233 can be closed, thereby fixing the valve stem 500 or the valve core 600. The valve stem fixing and pressing mechanism 200 also includes a vertical electro-hydraulic rod group 201 installed outside the assembly base 100, the output end of the vertical electro-hydraulic rod group 201 is connected to the controller 400, the output end of the vertical electro-hydraulic rod group 201 is fixedly connected to a U-shaped body 202, a fixing tool 230 for fixing the valve stem 500 is installed inside the U-shaped body 202, a bottom baffle 203 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the U-shaped body 202, a limit plate 204 for limiting the end position of the valve stem 500 is slidably connected to the top of the bottom baffle 203, and a trigger start switch 205 is installed at the bottom of the limit plate 204. The trigger start switch 205 The rotating motor 302 can be started by being squeezed. The thickness T of the limit plate 204 is consistent with the assembly length L between the valve stem 500 and the valve core 600. That is, when the end of the valve stem 500 contacts the top of the valve core 600, the touch start switch 205 installed at the bottom of the limit plate 204 is squeezed by the lower movable block 232 or the fixed block 233, so that the rotating motor 302 is started. A touch zeroing switch 206 is also installed on the inner side of the U-shaped body 202. The touch zeroing switch 206 is located on the outer side of the upper movable block 232. The touch zeroing switch 206 is squeezed to reset the torque sensor 303 to zero. The outside of the limiting plate 204 is fixedly connected with a middle connecting plate 207, and one side of the middle connecting plate 207 is symmetrically fixedly connected with an abutting rod 208, and the end of the symmetrical abutting rod 208 away from the middle connecting plate 207 is provided with an abutting block 209 symmetrically fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable block 232, and the other side of the middle connecting plate 207 is symmetrically fixedly connected with an elastic telescopic rod 210, and the end of the symmetrical elastic telescopic rod 210 away from the middle connecting plate 207 is jointly fixedly connected with a sliding block 211 slidably connected to the U-shaped fuselage 202. When the upper movable block 232 and the fixed block 233 are closed to fix the valve stem 500, the abutting block 209 can abut the symmetrical abutting rod 208, so that the middle connecting plate 207 drives the limiting plate 204 away from the end of the valve stem 500 to avoid interference with subsequent assembly work; A sliding groove 212 is provided on the inner side of the U-shaped body 202, and a sliding block 211 is slidably connected inside the sliding groove 212. A distance sensor 213 connected to the controller 400 is embedded in the inner top of the sliding groove 212. The sensing base point P of the distance sensor 213 is located at the outer top of the sliding block 211. The maximum distance Hmax between the bottom surface of the distance sensor 213 and the top surface of the sliding block 211 is consistent with the assembly length L between the valve stem 500 and the valve core 600. When the torque value generated by the rotating motor 302 reaches the preset torque value for closing, if the distance sensing value of the distance sensor 213 is close to zero, it indicates that the assembly torque and assembly length are in place at this time. The valve core fixing and rotating mechanism 300 also includes a cavity 301 opened in the upper part of the assembly base 100, and a rotating motor 302 and a torque sensor 303 are installed inside the cavity 301. The output end of the rotating motor 302 is fixedly connected to a connecting shaft of the torque sensor 303, and the other connecting shaft of the torque sensor 303 is fixedly connected to a rotating chassis 304 rotatably connected inside the cavity 301. The fixing tool 230 for fixing the valve core 600 is installed on the top of the rotating chassis 304. When the rotating motor 302 is started to drive the rotating chassis 304, the fixing tool 230 and the fixed valve core 600 to rotate, the torque sensor 303 can detect the torque value generated by the rotating motor 302. When the torque sensor 303 reaches the preset torque value, it can turn off the rotating motor 302 to stop the assembly between the valve stem 500 and the valve core 600.

[0020] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the valve stem 500 is placed on the inner side of the upper fixed block 233 by the manipulator 800 and the end of the valve stem 500 is ensured to abut against the top of the limit plate 204. Then, the controller 400 starts the extension of the upper horizontal electro-hydraulic rod group 231, so that the movable block 232 and the fixed block 233 are closed to fix the valve stem 500. When the upper movable block 232 and the fixed block 233 are closed to fix the valve stem 500, the symmetrical abutment block 209 can move with the movable block 232 and abut the symmetrical abutment rod 208. The abutted symmetrical abutment rod 208 drives the limit plate 204 to slide on the top of the bottom baffle 203 through the middle connecting plate 207 and compress the symmetrical elastic telescopic rod 210. The limit plate 204 slides away from the end of the valve stem 500 to avoid interference with subsequent assembly work. After the valve stem 500 is fixed, the valve core 600 is placed on the inner side of the lower fixed block 233 by the manipulator 800 and the end of the valve core 600 is ensured to abut against the top of the rotating chassis 304. Then, the controller 400 starts to shorten the lower horizontal electro-hydraulic rod group 231 so that the movable block 232 and the fixed block 233 are closed to fix the valve core 600. like Fig.10 As shown, after the valve stem 500 and the valve core 600 are fixed, the controller 400 starts to shorten the vertical electro-hydraulic rod group 201, so that the U-shaped body 202 drives the internal structure thereof to move downward; like Fig.11As shown, when the end of the valve stem 500 contacts the top of the valve core 600, the touch start switch 205 installed at the bottom of the limit plate 204 is squeezed by the fixed block 233 below, and the touch start switch 205 can start the rotating motor 302 when being squeezed. The start of the rotating motor 302 will drive the valve core 600 fixed on the top of the rotating chassis 304 to rotate, and the torque sensor 303 can detect the torque value generated by the rotating motor 302. At the same time, the U-shaped body 202 drives the valve stem 500 fixed inside it to move downward, and the movable block 232 and the fixed block 233 rotating below will always squeeze the touch start switch 205, and relative sliding in the vertical direction occurs between the limit plate 204 and the bottom baffle 203; During the relative sliding (in the vertical direction) between the limit plate 204 and the bottom baffle plate 203, the vertical positions of the limit plate 204, the middle connecting plate 207, the abutting rod 208, the elastic telescopic rod 210 and the sliding block 211 remain stationary relative to the assembly base 100, and the distance sensor 213 moving with the U-shaped body 202 moves downward and gradually approaches the sensing base point P on the top surface of the sliding block 211, that is, the distance sensing value of the distance sensor 213 gradually decreases; like Fig.15 As shown, when the torque value generated by the rotating motor 302 reaches the preset torque value, the torque sensor 303 can turn off the rotating motor 302 to stop the assembly between the valve stem 500 and the valve core 600. At this time, the distance sensing value of the distance sensor 213 can be observed by the controller 400. Since the maximum distance Hmax between the bottom surface of the distance sensor 213 and the top surface of the sliding block 211 is consistent with the assembly length L between the valve stem 500 and the valve core 600, if the observed distance sensing value of the distance sensor 213 is close to zero, it indicates that the assembly torque and assembly length are in place at this time. Subsequently, the controller 400 starts the extension of the lower horizontal electro-hydraulic rod group 231 to release the fixing effect of the valve core 600, and then the controller 400 starts the extension of the vertical electro-hydraulic rod group 201, so that the U-shaped body 202 drives the valve stem 500 and the valve core 600 structure with threaded assembly inside it to move upward, and then the manipulator 800 clamps the valve stem 500 and the valve core 600 with threaded assembly, and then the controller 400 starts the shortening of the upper horizontal electro-hydraulic rod group 231 to release the fixing effect of the valve stem 500. When the upper horizontal electro-hydraulic rod group 231 shortens and resets, the upper movable block 232 can squeeze and trigger the zeroing switch 206, and the zeroing switch 206 can be squeezed to reset the torque sensor 303, and finally the valve stem 500 and the valve core 600 with threaded assembly can be removed by the manipulator 800. Thereafter, the above steps are repeated to carry out threaded assembly of the next valve stem 500 and valve core 600 .

[0021] The main difference between this embodiment and the prior art is that the limit plate 204 in this embodiment can limit the end position of the valve stem 500, and the thickness T of the limit plate 204 is consistent with the assembly length L between the valve stem 500 and the valve core 600. When the end of the valve stem 500 contacts the top of the valve core 600, the touch start switch 205 installed at the bottom of the limit plate 204 will be squeezed to start the rotating motor 302. The start of the rotating motor 302 will drive the fixed valve core 600 to rotate, and the torque sensor 303 can rotate The torque value generated by the motor 302 is detected. When the torque value generated by the rotating motor 302 reaches the preset torque value, the torque sensor 303 can turn off the rotating motor 302 to stop the assembly between the valve stem 500 and the valve core 600, and the upper fixed tooling 230 after reset can squeeze and touch the zeroing switch 206 to zero the torque sensor 303, so that the assembly torsion between the valve stem 500 and the valve core 600 can be effectively controlled to avoid improper assembly torsion between the valve stem 500 and the valve core 600 and affect the assembly quality; The fixed valve stem 500 is pressed down by the valve stem fixing pressing mechanism 200, and the fixed valve core 600 is rotated by the valve core fixing rotating mechanism 300, so that the synchronous assembly of the stop valve stem 500 and the valve core 600 can be achieved.
