After the sensor at the discharging end of the fixed piece feeding mechanism detects that the fixed piece is clamped, the first lead screw guide rail drives the pushing block to reset and push the next fixed piece to move to the discharging end again, repeating the clamping and installation process of the fixed pieces. The third locking machine is used to lock the fixed piece and the housing through bolts to uniformly fix the three pipe joints. After the third locking machine locks the fixed piece, the first housing flipping mechanism flips the housing from the vertical state to the horizontal state and releases the fixation of the housing. The third manipulator clamps the next housing onto the first housing flipping mechanism, repeating the clamping and installation process of the pipe joints.
[0013] Further, the filter element rubber rod and filter element cover installation station includes a fifth manipulator, a sixth manipulator, a filter element rubber rod feeding mechanism, a filter element cover feeding mechanism, a capping device and a second housing flipping mechanism.

[0015] The capping device includes a capping motor, a pressing and resetting cylinder, a capping fixture, a cylinder support frame, a connecting plate, a precision reducer, a stabilizing plate, and a first buffer.
[0016] The fifth manipulator is used to first use the filter element rubber rod clamping claw to clamp the filter element rubber rod conveyed by the filter element rubber rod feeding mechanism, lift it, and rotate the clamping end to replace it with the housing clamping claw. The fifth manipulator is also used to use the housing clamping claw to clamp the housing with the pipe joint and the fixing piece installed at the pipe joint and fixing piece installation station, place it on the second housing flipping mechanism, lift it, and rotate the clamping end to replace it with the filter element rubber rod clamping claw. The second housing flipping mechanism is used to fix and lock the housing after detecting the housing and flip the housing from the horizontal state to the vertical state. The fifth manipulator is used to place the filter element rubber rod on the housing after detecting that the housing has been flipped to the vertical state. The pushing cylinder is used to push the filter element cover to the through hole and drop it onto the belt conveyor after the sensor detects the filter element cover. Sensors for detecting whether there is a filter element cover at the feeding end of the intercepting cylinder and for detecting whether the filter element cover has passed through the discharging end of the intercepting cylinder are respectively arranged at the feeding end and the discharging end of the intercepting cylinder. The intercepting cylinder is used to extend and intercept the subsequent filter element covers after both sensors detect the filter element cover, allowing only one filter element cover to pass through each time. A sensor for detecting whether the filter element cover has reached the clamping position is arranged at the clamping and positioning cylinder. The clamping and positioning cylinder is used to extend and clamp the filter element cover to the clamping position after the sensor detects the filter element cover. The electric slide rail is used to drive the capping device to move to the filter element cover clamping position after the clamping and positioning cylinder clamps the filter element cover. The pressing and resetting cylinder is used to extend downward after moving to the filter element cover clamping position and push the connecting plate to move a specified distance. The connecting plate is used to drive the capping fixture to move a specified distance and press it into the filter element cover. The pressing and resetting cylinder is used to contract upward after the capping fixture presses into the filter element cover, pull the connecting plate to reset, and drive the capping fixture to clamp the filter element cover. The electric slide rail is used to drive the capping device to move to the specified filter element cover installation position after the connecting plate resets. The pressing and resetting cylinder is used to extend downward after reaching the specified filter element cover installation position and drive the capping fixture to move downward to a specified position. The capping motor is used to drive the capping fixture to rotate and screw the filter element cover into the housing while the capping fixture moves downward. The pressing and resetting cylinder is used to contract upward after the filter element cover is screwed into the housing, drive the capping fixture to move out of the filter element cover and reset. The second housing flipping mechanism is used to flip the housing back to the horizontal state and release the fixation of the housing after detecting that the filter element cover has been screwed into the housing. The sixth manipulator is used to use the housing clamping claw to clamp the housing with the filter element rubber rod and the filter element cover installed and move it to the next station.
[0017] Further, a plurality of material racks for stacking and placing filter element caps are arranged side by side on the frame. Pushing cylinders are arranged on the plurality of material racks. A belt conveyor line is arranged on the frame and passes under the output ends of the plurality of material racks. A through hole for dropping the filter element caps onto the belt conveyor line is formed at the front end of the material rack. An intercepting cylinder and a clamping and positioning cylinder are sequentially installed at the tail end of the belt conveyor line. A cover plate is arranged on the material rack at the front side of the pushing end of the pushing cylinder. The cover plate is used to limit the number of filter element caps pushed by the pushing cylinder at one time. A cavity is formed between the cover plate and the material rack, and only one filter element cap can be accommodated in the cavity at a time. A leakage hole for leaking the filter element caps is formed at the top of the cover plate. A plurality of limiting rods for restricting the movement of the filter element caps are vertically arranged around the through hole. A plurality of filter element caps are stacked between the plurality of limiting rods.
[0018] Further, an electric slide rail is arranged at the bottom of the cap screwing device. A cylinder support frame is arranged on the electric slide rail. A pressing and resetting cylinder for pushing the connecting plate to rise or fall is arranged on the cylinder support frame. The connecting plate is slidably connected to a plurality of support columns of the cylinder support frame. A cap screwing motor for driving the cap screwing fixture to rotate is arranged on the connecting plate. The output end of the cap screwing motor is provided with a cap screwing fixture for clamping the filter element cap. A precision speed reducer for reducing the rotation speed of the cap screwing fixture is arranged at the output end of the cap screwing motor. A stabilizing plate is arranged at the bottom of the connecting plate. A first buffer is arranged at the bottom of the cylinder support frame. The stabilizing plate is used to reduce the descending speed of the cap screwing fixture after contacting the first buffer so that the cap screwing fixture can stably press into the filter element cap. The outer surface of the cap screwing fixture is circular and adapted to the inner surface of the outer circle of the cap. A plurality of elastic metal sheets are arranged on the outer surface of the cap screwing fixture. When the cap screwing fixture presses into the filter element cap, the elastic metal sheets contact the inner surface of the filter element cap to generate an elastic squeezing force to clamp the filter element cap. The inner surface of the cap screwing fixture is a ring gear adapted to the outer surface of the inner circle of the filter element cap. When the cap screwing fixture rotates to screw the filter element cap into the housing, the ring gear can prevent relative sliding between the cap screwing fixture and the filter element cap.
[0019] Further, the first manipulator, the second manipulator, the third manipulator, the fourth manipulator, the fifth manipulator and the sixth manipulator all achieve horizontal movement through electric slide rails. The first manipulator, the second manipulator, the third manipulator, the fourth manipulator and the fifth manipulator are all used to clamp the corresponding materials before clamping and placing the housing. Rotating cylinders are arranged on all the manipulators. The first manipulator, the second manipulator, the third manipulator, the fourth manipulator and the fifth manipulator all rotate through the rotating cylinders to replace two clamping claws. After placing the corresponding materials clamped by the first manipulator, the second manipulator, the third manipulator, the fourth manipulator and the fifth manipulator, they immediately clamp the materials again and wait for the next housing.
[0020] Further, the housing feeding mechanism is a belt conveyor feeding mechanism. An interception device composed of a photoelectric sensor and a cylinder is arranged on the belt conveyor of the housing feeding mechanism. Only one material can pass through to the clamping position each time, ensuring the orderly conveyance of materials. The pressure sensor feeding mechanism, PP pump feeding mechanism, SP pump feeding mechanism, pipe joint feeding mechanism, and filter element rubber rod feeding mechanism are all tray feeding mechanisms. The materials of the tray feeding mechanisms are all placed on the trays, and the materials are conveyed by the cyclic movement of the trays on the tray feeding mechanisms.
[0021] Further, the shape of the fixing piece limiting post is adapted to that of the fixing piece. A groove is provided at the corresponding position of the recess on the outer side of the fixing piece. And only when the fixing piece is placed correctly in the front-back direction, can it be placed between the fixing piece limiting plate and the fixing piece limiting post. The cavity between the lower surface of the storage plate and the upper surface of the chute at the feeding end can only accommodate one fixing piece. The upper surface of the pushing block is an inclined surface with the front higher than the rear, so that when the pushing block moves forward, it can smoothly push a fixing piece at the feeding end forward, and when moving backward, it can move under the fixing piece at the feeding end to the initial position without being blocked by the fixing piece at the feeding end.

A sensor for detecting whether the filter element cover reaches the clamping position is arranged at the clamping and positioning cylinder 5046. The clamping and positioning cylinder 5046 is used to extend to clamp and position the filter element cover to the clamping position after the sensor detects the filter element cover.

The pressing and resetting cylinder 5052 is used to extend downward after reaching the specified filter element cover installation position to drive the capping fixture 5053 to move downward to the specified position. The capping motor 5051 is used to drive the capping fixture 5053 to rotate to screw the filter element cover into the housing while the capping fixture 5053 moves downward. The pressing and resetting cylinder 5052 is used to contract upward after the filter element cover is screwed into the housing to drive the capping fixture 5053 to move out of the filter element cover and reset. The second housing flipping mechanism 506 is used to flip the housing back to the horizontal state and release the fixation of the housing after detecting that the filter element cover is screwed into the housing. The sixth manipulator 502 is used to pick up the housing installed with the filter element rubber rod and the filter element cover with the housing clamping claw and move it to the next station.
[0057] Specifically, the first housing flipping mechanism 405 and the second housing flipping mechanism 506 are both provided with a base, a mounting plate, a pressing cylinder, and a telescopic cylinder.

[0058] As an implementation manner, a plurality of material racks 5042 for stacking and placing filter element covers are arranged side by side on the frame 5041. Pushing cylinders 5043 are arranged on the plurality of material racks 5042. A belt conveyor 5044 passing under the output ends of the plurality of material racks 5042 is arranged on the frame 5041. Through holes for dropping the filter element covers onto the belt conveyor 5044 are formed at the front ends of the material racks 5042. An intercepting cylinder 5045 and a clamping and positioning cylinder 5046 are sequentially installed at the tail end of the belt conveyor 5044. A cover plate 5047 located on the front side of the pushing end of the pushing cylinder 5043 is arranged on the material rack 5042. The cover plate 5047 is used for restricting the number of filter element covers pushed by the pushing cylinder 5043 at one time.

[0059] Specifically, a plurality of sensors for detecting the number of stacked filter element covers on the material rack 5042 are arranged on the belt conveyor 5044. When the number of filter element covers is less than the set number, the sensor controls the warning light to turn on.
[0060] As an implementation manner, an electric slide rail is provided at the bottom of the cap screwing device 505. A cylinder support frame 5054 is provided on the electric slide rail. A pressing and reset cylinder 5052 for pushing the connecting plate 5055 to rise or fall is provided on the cylinder support frame 5054.

A stabilizing plate 5057 is provided at the bottom of the connecting plate 5055. A first buffer 5058 is provided at the bottom of the cylinder support frame 5054. The stabilizing plate 5057 is used to reduce the descending speed of the cap screwing fixture 5053 after contacting the first buffer 5058 so that the cap screwing fixture 5053 can be stably pressed into the filter element cap. The outer surface of the cap screwing fixture 5053 is circular and adapted to the inner surface of the outer circle of the cap. A plurality of elastic metal sheets are provided on the outer surface of the cap screwing fixture 5053. When the cap screwing fixture 5053 is pressed into the filter element cap, the elastic metal sheets contact the inner surface of the filter element cap to generate an elastic squeezing force to clamp the filter element cap. The inner surface of the cap screwing fixture 5053 is a ring gear adapted to the outer surface of the inner circle of the filter element cap. When the cap screwing fixture 5053 rotates to screw the filter element cap into the housing, the ring gear can prevent relative sliding between the cap screwing fixture 5053 and the filter element cap.
[0061] As an implementation manner, the first manipulator 201, the second manipulator 202, the third manipulator 301, the fourth manipulator 401, the fifth manipulator 501 and the sixth manipulator 502 all achieve horizontal movement through electric slide rails. The first manipulator 201, the second manipulator 202, the third manipulator 301, the fourth manipulator 401 and the fifth manipulator 501 are all used to clamp the corresponding materials before clamping and placing the housing. Rotating cylinders are provided on all the manipulators. The first manipulator 201, the second manipulator 202, the third manipulator 301, the fourth manipulator 401 and the fifth manipulator 501 all rotate through the rotating cylinders to replace two clamping claws. After placing all the corresponding clamped materials, the first manipulator 201, the second manipulator 202, the third manipulator 301, the fourth manipulator 401 and the fifth manipulator 501 immediately re-clamp the materials and wait for the next housing.
[0062] As an implementation manner, the housing feeding mechanism 203 is a belt conveyor feeding mechanism. An intercepting device composed of a photoelectric sensor and a cylinder is arranged on the belt conveyor of the housing feeding mechanism 203, and only one material can pass through to the clamping position each time to ensure the orderly conveying of materials. The pressure sensor feeding mechanism 204, the PP pump feeding mechanism 205, the SP pump feeding mechanism 302, the pipe joint feeding mechanism 402, and the filter element rubber rod feeding mechanism 503 are all tray feeding mechanisms. The materials of the tray feeding mechanisms are all placed on the trays, and the materials are conveyed by the cyclic movement of the trays on the tray feeding mechanisms.
[0063] As an implementation manner, the fixing piece limiting post 4036 is adapted to the shape of the fixing piece. A groove is arranged at a corresponding position in the depression on the outer side of the fixing piece, and it can only be placed between the fixing piece limiting plate 4035 and the fixing piece limiting post 4036 when the fixing piece is placed correctly in the front-back direction. The cavity between the lower surface of the material storage plate 4032 and the upper surface of the chute at the feeding end can only accommodate one fixing piece. The upper surface of the push block 4033 is an inclined surface with the front end higher than the rear end, so that when the push block 4033 moves forward, it can smoothly push a fixing piece at the feeding end forward, and when moving backward, it can move under the fixing piece at the feeding end to the initial position without being blocked by the fixing piece at the feeding end.
[0064] The working process of the present invention:
[0065] First, place various materials on the corresponding feeding mechanisms, and all the feeding mechanisms start to convey the corresponding materials.
[0066] When this assembly line operates, the working process of the pressure sensor and the PP pump installation station 2:
[0067] The first manipulator 201 first uses the pressure sensor clamping jaws to pick up the pressure sensors conveyed by the pressure sensor feeding mechanism 204, raises them to a safe position, rotates the clamping end to replace it with the housing clamping jaws. At the same time, the second manipulator 202 uses the PP pump clamping jaws to pick up the PP pumps conveyed by the PP pump feeding mechanism 205. Then, the first manipulator 201 uses the housing clamping jaws to pick up the housings conveyed by the housing feeding mechanism 203, places the housings on the first locking machine 206, raises them to a safe position, rotates the clamping end to replace it with the pressure sensor clamping jaws. After detecting the housing, the first locking machine 206 fixes the housing. The first manipulator 201 places the pressure sensors on the fixed housings, resets and moves above the pressure sensor feeding mechanism 204 to pick up the next pressure sensor. Then, the second manipulator 202 moves above the first locking machine 206, places the PP pumps on the housings with pressure sensors placed on them, raises them to a safe position, rotates the clamping end to replace it with the housing clamping jaws. After the pressure sensors and PP pumps are both placed on the housings, the first locking machine 206 uses bolts to lock the pressure sensors and PP pumps to the housings. The second manipulator 202 uses the housing clamping jaws to pick up the housings with pressure sensors and PP pumps installed at the pressure sensor and PP pump installation station 2, places them on the second locking machine 303, resets and moves above the PP pump feeding mechanism to pick up the next PP pump.
[0068] Working process of the SP pump installation station 3:
[0069] Before the second manipulator 202 picks up the housing, the third manipulator 301 uses the SP pump clamping jaws to pick up the SP pumps conveyed by the SP pump feeding mechanism 302.
[0070] After detecting the housing, the second locking machine 303 fixes the housing. After the second manipulator 202 returns to the pressure sensor and PP pump installation station 2, the third manipulator 301 places the SP pumps on the fixed housings, raises them to a safe position, rotates the clamping end to replace it with the housing clamping jaws. The second locking machine 303 uses bolts to lock the SP pumps to the housings. The third manipulator 301 uses the housing clamping jaws to pick up the housings with SP pumps installed at the SP pump installation station 3, places them on the first housing flipping mechanism 405 at the pipe joint and fixing plate installation station 4, resets and moves above the SP pump feeding mechanism 302 to pick up the next SP pump.
[0071] Working process of the pipe joint and fixing plate installation station 4:
[0072] Before the third manipulator 301 clamps and places the housing, the fourth manipulator 401 first uses the pipe joint clamping claws to clamp a set of pipe joints conveyed by the pipe joint feeding mechanism 402 and raises them to a safe position, and then rotates the clamping end to replace it with the fixing plate clamping claws. When the sensors on the fourth manipulator 401 detect that the arrangement order of a set of three pipe joints on the pipe joint feeding mechanism 402 does not correspond to the order of the three tubular clamping claws, the fourth manipulator 401 skips this set of three pipe joints and clamps the next set of three pipe joints. Then, the fourth manipulator 401 uses the fixing plate clamping claws to clamp the fixing plates conveyed by the fixing plate feeding mechanism 403 and raises them to a safe position, and then rotates the clamping end to replace it with the pipe joint clamping claws.
[0073] After detecting the housing, the first housing turning mechanism 405 fixes and locks the housing and turns the housing from the horizontal state to the vertical state. After the fourth manipulator 401 detects that the housing has been turned to the vertical state and the third manipulator 301 returns to the SP pump installation station 3, the fourth manipulator 401 places the pipe joints on the housing, and then raises them to a safe position and rotates the clamping end to replace it with the fixing plate clamping claws.
[0074] When fixing plate feeding is required, the lead screw slide rail 4031 drives the push block 4033 to push the fixing plates to the grasping position. The push block 4033 can exactly push out one fixing plate during pushing. When the clamping sensor recognizes that the fourth manipulator 401 clamps the fixing plate, the lead screw slide rail 4031 retracts the push block 4033 to the initial position, and the remaining fixing plates are restricted by the stock plate 4032. After the push block 4033 pushes out one fixing plate, the next fixing plate falls onto the chute due to gravity. When the push block 4033 pushes the fixing plate to the specified position and returns and passes the fixing plate stock position again, the front-high and rear-low design of the push block 4033 prevents it from being stuck when it retracts and does not affect the position of the fixing plate. After reaching the initial position, the push block 4033 continues to wait for the next pushing signal from the front-end sensor of the support plate 4034. When the sensor detects that the number of fixing plates is insufficient, it triggers a signal to remind the worker to replenish the materials. The fourth manipulator 401 places the fixing plates on the housing and raises them to a safe position, rotates the clamping end to replace it with the pipe joint clamping claws, and moves above the pipe joint feeding mechanism 402 to clamp the next set of pipe joints. After the sensors on the first housing turning mechanism 405 recognize the fixing plates, the rotary cylinder rotates the fixing plate pressing rod to press the fixing plates.
[0075] After the three pipe joints and the fixing plates are in place, the third locking machine 404 sucks the bolts and then locks the fixing plates on the housing. After locking, the third locking machine 404 resets.
[0076] After the first housing turning mechanism 405 detects the reset of the third locking machine 404, the rotary cylinder drives the fixing plate pressing rod to reset, the telescopic cylinder extends the telescopic rod to push the mounting plate to turn and reset, and the pressing cylinder located on the mounting plate also resets to release the fixation of the housing at the same time.
[0077] Working process of the installation station 5 for the filter element rubber rod and the filter element cover:
[0078] The fifth manipulator 501 uses the filter element rubber rod clamping claws to pick up the filter element rubber rod conveyed by the filter element rubber rod feeding mechanism 503, raises it to a safe position, rotates the clamping end to replace it with the housing clamping claws, and then the fifth manipulator 501 uses the housing clamping claws to pick up the housing with the pipe joint and the fixing piece installed at the pipe joint and fixing piece installation station 4 and places it on the second housing flipping mechanism 506, raises it to a safe position, rotates the clamping end to replace it with the rubber rod clamping claws. After the second housing flipping mechanism 506 detects the housing, it fixes and locks the housing and flips the housing from the horizontal state to the vertical state. After the fifth manipulator 501 detects that the housing has been flipped to the vertical state, it places the filter element rubber rod on the housing and returns above the filter element rubber rod feeding mechanism 503 to pick up the filter element rubber rod. When it is necessary to convey the filter element cover, the pushing cylinder 5043 on the material rack 5042 near the tail end of the belt conveyor line 5044 gives priority to pushing. The sensor sends a signal to start pushing to the pushing cylinder 5043, and the pushing cylinder 5043 starts to push one filter element cover from the material rack 5042 to the belt conveyor line 5044 at a time. When the number of filter element covers is less than the specified number, the corresponding sensor lights up a red light to remind the staff to add filter element covers in time. After the filter element covers on the first material rack 5042 are pushed out, the sensor sends a signal to stop pushing to the pushing cylinder 5043, and the first material rack 5042 waits for the staff to add filter element covers. The sensor on the adjacent next material rack 5042 controls the pushing cylinder 5043 to start pushing the filter element covers until the filter element covers on the last material rack 5042 are pushed out, and a new round of pushing cycle starts.
[0079] The belt conveyor line 5044 sequentially conveys the filter element covers to the tail end. After the two sensors at the feeding end and the discharging end of the intercepting cylinder 5045 detect the filter element covers, the intercepting cylinder 5045 intercepts the filter element covers on the belt conveyor line 5044, and only allows one filter element cover to move to the clamping and positioning cylinder 5046 at a time. The clamping and positioning cylinder 5046 clamps and positions the filter element cover. After the filter element cover is positioned, it sends a clamping signal to the lead screw slide rail and the cap screwing device 505.
[0080] The electric slide rail drives the cap screwing device 505 to move to the clamping position at the front end of the lead screw slide rail. The pressing and resetting cylinder 5052 pushes the connecting plate 5055 to descend. After the stabilizing plate 5057 contacts the first buffer 5058, the descending speed of the cap screwing fixture 5053 is reduced. The pressing and resetting cylinder 5052 starts to drive the cap screwing fixture 5053 to press into the filter element cover. The elastic metal sheet on the cap screwing fixture 5053 clamps the filter element cover through elastic extrusion force. The pressing and resetting cylinder 5052 pushes the connecting plate 5055 to rise to clamp the filter element cover, and the intercepting cylinder 5045 releases one filter element cover to the clamping and positioning cylinder 5046.
[0081] After the installation of the filter element rubber rod is completed, the electric slide rail drives the cap screwing device 505 to move to the installation position at the rear end of the electric slide rail. The cap screwing fixture 5053 aligns with the installation position on the housing. The pressing and reset cylinder 5052 pushes the connecting plate 5055 to descend. The cap screwing motor drives the cap screwing fixture 5053 to screw the filter element cap into the housing and tighten it. The pressing and reset cylinder 5052 pushes the connecting plate 5055 to rise to pull out the cap screwing fixture 5053 from the filter element cap. After the second housing flipping mechanism 506 detects that the filter element cap is screwed into the housing, the telescopic cylinder pushes the flipping mounting plate to reset. The pressing cylinder releases the fixation of the housing. The sixth manipulator 502 uses the housing clamping claw to clamp and move the housing with the filter element rubber rod and the filter element cap installed to the next working station.
