[0001] This application relates to the field of automatic assembly technology, and in particular to a joint assembly device. Background Technology

[0002] In fluid transmission and mechanical connections, the assembly of connectors and rubber rings is a crucial step in ensuring system sealing and reliability. These components are widely used in the automotive, chemical, and energy industries, and their performance directly affects the equipment's leak-proof capability, pressure resistance, and long-term stability.

[0003] Reference Figure 1 A connector includes a connector body and connecting frames disposed on opposite sides of the connector body. The middle part of the connecting frame is integrally formed with the connector body, and an installation gap is formed between the connecting frame and the connector body for arranging a rubber ring and a metal rod.

[0004] Currently, the assembly of the connector body, rubber ring, and metal rod is mainly done manually. The specific process is as follows: the operator manually stretches the rubber ring (such as an O-ring) and inserts it into the pre-set sealing groove of the connector. Then, using simple tools, the operator adjusts the position of the rubber ring to ensure that it is fully embedded in the groove and avoids twisting. Although semi-automated equipment has been introduced to assist in material feeding in some scenarios, the core assembly steps still rely on manual labor, and require a high level of skill and experience from the operator.

[0036] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 2-9 This application will be described in further detail.

[0037] This application discloses a connector assembly device. The structure of the connector has been described in the background art, and its structure will not be referred to separately in the accompanying drawings when it is described again in this embodiment.

[0038] Reference Figure 2 The joint assembly equipment includes an assembly platform 1, a rotary table 2 rotatably mounted on the assembly platform 1, and several joint positioning seats 3 disposed on the rotary table 2. On the outer side of the rotary table 2, along its rotation direction, the assembly platform 1 is sequentially equipped with a first feeding mechanism 4 for feeding rubber rings 83, a detection mechanism 5, a second feeding mechanism 6 for feeding metal rods 84, and a discharging mechanism 7. The detection mechanism 5 includes a first detection component 51 and a second detection component 52. The two sets of detection components have identical structures. The first detection component 51 is disposed between the first feeding mechanism 4 and the second feeding mechanism 6, and the second detection component 52 is disposed between the second feeding mechanism 6 and the discharging mechanism 7.

[0039] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The connector positioning seat 3 is a rectangular block, which is fixed to the top outer edge of the rotary table 2 by bolts. The top of the connector positioning seat 3 has a positioning groove 31 for positioning the connector 8. After the connector 8 is placed in the positioning groove 31, the top of the connecting frame 82 protrudes from the top of the connector positioning seat 3 to facilitate the subsequent installation of the metal rod 84. Two insertion through holes 32 are opened through the opposite side walls of the connector positioning seat 3, and the two insertion through holes 32 correspond to the bottom sides of the connecting frame 82 respectively.

[0040] The assembly platform 1 has a material feeding trough 11 for placing products on one side. In this application, the connector 8 is manually fed into the positioning groove 31 of the connector positioning seat 3. The first feeding mechanism 4 includes a vibrating feeding plate 41, a feeding robot 42, and a pushing component 43.

[0041] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 The vibrating feeding plate 41 has the same structure as the existing feeding plate, and its output port is equipped with a conveying track 411 for conveying individual rubber rings 83. A vibrator for driving the conveying of rubber rings 83 is set at the bottom of the conveying track 411. The assembly platform 1 is equipped with a feeding platform 12 outside the rotary table 2. The feeding platform 12 is equipped with a feeding track 121 for moving and conveying individual rubber rings 83. The feeding track 121 is L-shaped. The feeding platform 12 is equipped with a feeding push drive component 44 for pushing the rubber rings 83. The feeding push drive component 44 is a push cylinder component. Its output end is equipped with a push plate 441 corresponding to one end of the feeding track 121 and a guide slide plate 442 slidably installed on the feeding platform 12. The feeding platform 12 is also equipped with a lubrication seat 13 on one side of the guide slide plate 442. A sponge is installed on the top of the lubrication seat 13, and the sponge absorbs lubricant.

[0042] The loading robot 42 includes a loading linear module 421, a clamping member 422 disposed on the loading linear module 421, and a loading clamping drive member 423 for pushing the rubber ring 83 out of the material. The loading linear module 421 includes a horizontal module and a vertical module. The clamping member 422 is fixed on the vertical module, and the horizontal and vertical movements of the clamping member 422 are realized through the loading linear module 421.

[0043] The clamping component 422 includes a three-jaw cylinder 4221 fixed to the vertical module and clamping arc plates 4222 disposed at the output end of the three-jaw cylinder 4221. Each of the three sets of sliding jaws of the three-jaw cylinder 4221 is equipped with a clamping arc plate 4222. When the three-jaw cylinder 4221 is not activated, the three sets of clamping arc plates 4222 form a cylindrical shape, the outer diameter of which is smaller than the inner diameter of the rubber ring 83. When the three-jaw cylinder 4221 is activated, it drives two sets of clamping arc plates 4222 to move outward, thereby clamping and fixing the inner side of the rubber ring 83.

[0044] The feeding and clamping drive component 423 is a push cylinder fixed to the vertical module, and its output end is provided with a clamping sleeve 4231 sleeved on the clamping arc plate 4222. The length of the clamping arc plate 4222 in the height direction is greater than that of the clamping sleeve 4231, and the clamping sleeve 4231 is located on the upper side of the clamping arc plate 4222, so that a clamping gap is formed at the bottom of the clamping arc plate 4222 for the rubber ring 83 to be clamped.

[0045] The rubber ring 83 is first clamped internally by the clamping arc plate 4222. When it moves to the lubrication seat 13, the clamping piece 422 descends vertically to the lubrication seat 13 to lubricate the rubber ring. Then the rubber ring 83 is unloaded into the connector piece 8 of the connector positioning seat 3.

[0046] The pushing assembly 43 includes a pushing drive 431, a first push block 432 disposed at the output end of the pushing drive 431, and a clamping cylinder 433 disposed on the first push block 432. The pushing drive 431 is a pushing cylinder, and the first push block 432 is an L-shaped block. The bottom of the first push block 432 slides between itself and the assembly platform 1 via a slide rail, and the clamping cylinder 433 is fixed to the side of the first push block 432 away from the pushing drive 431. The clamping cylinder 433 is vertically fixed, and clamping rods 4331 are fixed on its two clamping ends. The clamping rods 4331 are used to insert into the insertion through hole 32 of the connector positioning seat 3. After insertion, the two sets of clamping rods 4331 are located on opposite sides of the connector 8, so that after the clamping cylinder 433 is activated, the clamping rods 4331 can press the bottom of the connecting frame 82, causing the connecting frame 82 to rotate along the middle, so that the top of the connecting frame 82 is in an open state, making it convenient for the clamping member 422 to insert the rubber ring 83 into the connector body 81.

[0047] Reference Figure 7 The first detection component 51 includes a first detection bracket 511, a first detection head 512 that is lifted and mounted on the first detection bracket 511, and a pushing component 43. The first detection head 512 is lifted and mounted on the first detection bracket 511 by a cylinder. The first detection head 512 includes a detection inflation head 5121 for insertion and mating with the connector 8, and a buffer component 5122 that abuts against the top of the connector positioning seat 3. The buffer component 5122 includes a buffer fixing plate fixed to the output end of the cylinder, a buffer abutment plate located at the bottom of the buffer fixing plate, and a spring telescopic component connecting the buffer fixing plate and the buffer abutment plate. The first detection head 512 is fixed to the buffer fixing plate by a flange.

[0048] The pushing component 43 of the detection mechanism 5 and the pushing component 43 in the feeding mechanism have the same structure. Their function is to rotate the connecting frame 82, so that the first detection head 512 can be inserted into the top of the connector 8, reducing the probability of the detection inflation head 5121 damaging the connector 8.

[0049] Reference Figure 8 and Figure 9 The second feeding mechanism 6 includes a feeding seat 61 disposed on the rotary table 2 and corresponding one-to-one with the connector positioning seat 3, and a feeding pressing and pushing assembly 62.

[0050] Looking back Figure 4The loading seat 61 is located on the side of the connector positioning seat 3 near the central axis of the rotary table 2. The top of the rotary table 2 has a slide rail that slides with the loading seat 61, allowing the loading seat 61 to slide along the radial direction of the rotary table 2. Return springs 611 are also provided on both sides of the bottom of the loading seat 61, with the other end of each spring fixed to the connector positioning seat 3. The top of the loading seat 61 has a loading groove 612 for arranging the metal rod 84, and the loading groove 612 is open on the side facing the connector positioning seat 3.

[0051] The feeding and pressing push assembly 62 includes a fixed pusher 621 fixed to the assembly platform 1, a second feeding rack 622, a pressing plate 623 that is lifted and installed on the second feeding rack 622, and a feeding pusher 624 that is slidably installed on the second feeding rack 622.

[0052] The fixed pusher 621 is a pusher cylinder fixed to the assembly platform 1, and its output shaft is provided with a pusher plate for pushing the loading seat 61. When the connector positioning seat 3 moves to the loading clamping pusher assembly 62, the fixed pusher 621 is activated to move the loading seat 61 toward the connector positioning seat 3, so that the loading seat 61 and the connector positioning seat 3 are in a close contact state.

[0053] The clamping plate 623 is lifted and mounted on the second loading rack 622 by a cylinder. The loading push plate 624 includes a horizontal mounting plate 6241 fixed to the top of the clamping plate 623 and a vertical push plate fixed to the end of the horizontal mounting plate 6241. A push block 6242 is provided at the bottom of the vertical push plate. The top of the loading seat 61 is provided with a loading slot 613 for the push block 6242 to be inserted. The loading slot 613 is connected to the loading slide 612. The loading slot 613 passes through the opposite sides of the loading seat 61. After the push block 6242 is inserted into the loading slot 613, it moves horizontally toward the connector positioning seat 3. The push block 6242 pushes the metal rod 84 toward the connector 8, so that the metal rod 84 is inserted into the inside of the connecting frame.

[0054] Reference Figure 9 The unloading mechanism 7 includes an unloading bracket 71, an unloading robot 72 mounted on the unloading bracket 71, an unloading rotating component 73 that drives the unloading bracket 71 to rotate, and an unloading track 74 for receiving the unloaded products. The unloading robot 72 is a clamping cylinder, which achieves lifting and sliding on the unloading bracket 71 through the cylinder. The unloading rotating component 73 is a vertically arranged rotary motor, the output shaft of which is fixed to the bottom of the unloading bracket 71, so as to realize the overall rotation of the unloading bracket 71, so that the clamping end of the unloading robot 72 can correspond to the unloading track 74, release the clamping of the unloading robot 72, and allow the product to be automatically unloaded.

[0055] The implementation principle of a connector assembly device in this application embodiment is as follows: the connector body 81 is positioned on the connector positioning seat 3 by a person on one side of the feeding trough 11. The rotating table 2 rotates to rotate the connector positioning seat 3 to the first feeding mechanism 4, so that the rubber ring 83 is fed onto the connector body 81. Then the rotating table 2 continues to rotate so that the connector positioning seat 3 completes the airtightness test of the first detection component 51. After that, the rotating table 2 is rotated again to feed the metal rod 84 on the side of the second feeding mechanism 6. After the second detection component 52 completes the second detection, the product is finally unloaded onto the unloading track 74 by the unloading mechanism 7.

[0056] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
