[0042] The present invention provides the following description with reference to the accompanying drawings to help a comprehensive understanding of various embodiments of the present invention as defined by the claims and their equivalents. The description includes various specific details to assist understanding, but these details should be regarded as merely exemplary. Therefore, those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications can be made to the various embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention.

[0043] In the description of the present invention, the orientation descriptions such as up, down, front, back, left, right, etc. indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for facilitating the description of the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention.

[0044] It should be understood that when an element (e.g., the first element) is "connected" to another element (e.g., the second element), the element can be directly connected to the other element, or there can be an intermediate element (e.g., the third element) between the element and the other element.

[0045] An embodiment of the present invention provides an automatic seal ring sleeving device, as Figure 1-4 shown, which includes a substrate 110, a plurality of sleeving components 120, a lifting drive component 130, and a radial drive component 140. The sleeving components 120 are arranged below the substrate 110, and each sleeving component 120 includes an inner support member 121 and a blanking member 122. The inner support member 121 is connected to a vertically arranged inner support rod 123. The inner support rod 123 can be fixed to the inner support member 121 or integrally formed with the inner support member 121. All the inner support rods 123 are annularly distributed around a preset vertical axis on the substrate 110. This vertical axis is preset by those skilled in the art, aiming to make all the inner support rods 123 be annularly distributed, creating conditions for all the inner support rods 123 to be inserted into the inner side of the seal ring. When the inner support holds the seal ring, this vertical axis also needs to be coaxial with the axis of the seal ring.

[0046] The inner support member 121 is slidably connected to the substrate 110 along the radial direction relative to the vertical axis. The radial drive component 140 is connected to the inner support member 121 and is used to drive the inner support member 121 to move radially. Correspondingly, it can also drive the inner support rod 123 to move radially, so that the radius of the ring formed by the distribution of all the inner support rods 123 can change to adapt to seal rings with different inner diameters. After the inner support rod 121 is inserted into the inner side of the seal ring, the radial drive component 140 then drives the inner support member 121 to expand radially outward, so as to inner support and hold seal rings with different inner diameters from the inner side of the seal ring.

[0047] The blanking member 122 is linked with the inner support rod 123 in the radial direction. When the inner support rod 123 moves in the radial direction, the blanking member 122 also moves in the radial direction, ensuring that the blanking member 122 can push the seal rings with different inner diameters away from the inner support rod 123. The blanking member 122 abuts against the outer side surface of the inner support rod 123, and the blanking member 122 can slide vertically along the outer side surface of the inner support rod 123. The lifting drive component 130 is connected to the blanking member 122 and is used to drive the blanking member 122 to move vertically. When the inner support rod 123 inner supports and holds the seal ring, and the seal ring is located on the outer side surface of the inner support rod 123, when the lifting drive component 130 drives the blanking member 122 to move downward, the blanking member 122 can push the seal ring away from the inner support rod 123, so that the seal ring can be sleeved onto the joint or connecting pipe of the filter element.

[0048] When the automatic seal ring sleeving device of this embodiment is working, the radial driving assembly 140 first drives the inner support rods 123 to contract radially, so that the radius of the ring formed by the distribution of all the inner support rods 123 is smaller than the radius of the seal ring, and all the inner support rods 123 can be inserted into the inner side of the seal ring. After all the inner support rods 123 are inserted into the inner side of the seal ring, the radial driving assembly 140 drives the inner support rods 123 to expand radially outward, and all the inner support rods 123 internally support and clamp the seal ring, thereby grasping the seal ring. After the grasped seal ring approaches the filter element, the lifting driving assembly 130 drives the blanking member 122 to move downward, and the blanking member 122 can push the seal ring away from the inner support rods 123, completing the sleeving of the seal ring onto the filter element.

[0049] It should be noted that the lifting driving assembly 130 and the radial driving assembly 140 can be connected to the control module. The control module issues control instructions to the lifting driving assembly 130 and the radial driving assembly 140 according to the set program, so that the lifting driving assembly 130 and the radial driving assembly 140 work in coordination with each other.

[0050] In some embodiments, as Figure 1-4 shown, the lifting driving assembly 130 includes a lifting driver 132 and a lifting plate 131 located above the inner support member 121. The sleeving assembly 120 further includes a blanking connecting rod 124. The blanking connecting rod 124 extends vertically. The inner support member 121 is provided with a blanking through hole adapted to the blanking connecting rod 124. The blanking connecting rod 124 is inserted into the blanking through hole and can move vertically in the blanking through hole. The lower end of the blanking connecting rod 124 is connected to the blanking member 122, and the upper end of the blanking connecting rod 124 is slidably connected to the lifting plate 131, and the relative sliding direction of the blanking connecting rod 124 and the lifting plate 131 is parallel to the relative sliding direction of the inner support member 121 and the base plate 110; the lifting driver 132 is connected to the lifting plate 131 and is used to drive the lifting plate 131 to move vertically.

[0051] In this embodiment, when the lifting driver 132 drives the lifting plate 131 to move vertically, the lifting plate 131 will drive all the blanking connecting rods 124 to move vertically, and further cause all the blanking members 122 to move vertically. In this way, all the blanking members 122 can be driven to move by the same driver, without the need to configure multiple drivers, simplifying the driving structure, and the synchronization of the movement of all the blanking members 122 is better.

[0052] When the inner support member 121 moves radially, the inner support member 121 correspondingly drives the blanking connecting rod 124 to move radially, which realizes the radial linkage between the blanking member 122 and the inner support rod 123. At the same time, since the blanking connecting rod 124 can move vertically in the blanking through hole, the inner support member 121 does not affect the vertical movement of the inner support rod 123 on the outer side of the blanking member 122, ensuring that the blanking member 122 can push the seal rings with different inner diameters away from the inner support rods 123.

[0053] Further, a radial guide groove 133 is provided on the lifting plate 131, and the extending direction of the radial guide groove 133 is parallel to the relative sliding direction of the inner support member 121 and the base plate 110. The upper end of the blanking connecting rod 124 is located in the radial guide groove 133 and can slide along the radial guide groove 133, thereby realizing the sliding connection between the blanking connecting rod 124 and the lifting plate 131.

[0054] An anti - detachment limiting structure 125 is further provided at the upper end of the blanking connecting rod 124. The anti - detachment limiting structure 125 is used to limit the vertical movement of the blanking connecting rod 124 relative to the lifting plate 131. On the one hand, this can prevent the blanking connecting rod 124 from detaching from the radial guide groove 133, so that the blanking connecting rod 124 and the lifting plate 131 maintain a sliding connection; on the other hand, it is difficult for the blanking connecting rod 124 to move vertically relative to the lifting plate 131. When the lifting plate 131 moves vertically, the blanking connecting rod 124 can move vertically synchronously, reducing the hysteresis of the synchronous action.

[0055] Furthermore, the anti - detachment limiting structure 125 may include two anti - detachment rods. Both anti - detachment rods are perpendicularly connected to the blanking connecting rod 124. The two anti - detachment rods are respectively located below and above the lifting plate 131. The lengths of the two anti - detachment rods are both greater than the width of the radial guide groove 133. Since the anti - detachment rods cannot pass through the radial guide groove 133, the vertical movement of the blanking connecting rod 124 relative to the lifting plate 131 can be restricted.

[0056] In some embodiments, the lifting driver 132 may include a vertically arranged cylinder. The push rod of the cylinder is connected to the upper end of the vertical connecting rod 134, and the lower end of the vertical connecting rod 134 is connected to the lifting plate 131. The push rod is used to drive the vertical connecting rod 134 to move vertically, correspondingly causing the lifting plate 131 to move vertically. The lifting driver 132 can be fixed above the base plate 110. The base plate 110 may be provided with an opening for the vertical connecting rod 134 to pass through and be connected to the lifting plate 131.

[0057] The outer side surface of the inner support rod 123 can be set as an arc surface. The arc surface is smoother, which is conducive to the sliding of the blanking part 122 and will not scratch the sealing ring when the sealing ring is supported.

[0058] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the substrate 110 is provided with a plurality of radial through-grooves 111 penetrating through itself. The radial through-grooves 111 extend radially relative to the vertical axis. An inner support connecting rod 126 is disposed in the radial through-grooves 111. The inner support connecting rod 126 can slide along the radial through-grooves 111. The lower end of the inner support connecting rod 126 is connected to the inner support member 121, and the upper end is connected to the radial driving assembly 140. The radial driving assembly 140 is configured to drive the inner support connecting rod 126 to move radially.

[0059] The cooperation between the radial through-grooves 111 and the inner support connecting rod 126 plays a guiding role in the movement of the inner support member 121, ensuring that the inner support member 121 moves radially.

[0060] It is also possible to provide guide rails parallel to the radial through-grooves 111 on the bottom surface of the substrate 110. A slider is fixed on the inner support member 121, and the slider is slidably connected to the guide rails, which can further play a guiding role in the movement of the inner support member 121 and ensure that the inner support member 121 moves radially.

[0061] Furthermore, the radial driving assembly 140 includes a driving disk 141 and a radial driving mechanism located above the substrate 110. The driving disk 141 is coaxially arranged with the vertical axis. The driving disk 141 is rotatably connected to the substrate 110, and the rotation axis of the driving disk 141 and the substrate 110 is coaxial with the vertical axis. The driving disk 141 is provided with a plurality of arc-shaped grooves 142. The positions and numbers of the arc-shaped grooves 142 respectively match the positions and numbers of the radial through-grooves 111. The arc-shaped grooves 142 are inclined relative to the radial direction. The upper end of the inner support connecting rod 126 is located in the arc-shaped grooves 142 and can slide along the arc-shaped grooves 142. The radial driving mechanism is connected to the driving disk 141 and is configured to drive the driving disk 141 to rotate. When the driving disk 141 rotates, the inner support connecting rod 126 slides along the radial through-grooves 111 under the push of the inner wall of the arc-shaped grooves 142.

[0062] Thus, all the inner support connecting rods 126 can be driven to move by the same radial driving mechanism, which can reduce the number of driving mechanisms, simplify the driving structure, and reduce costs. At the same time, the synchronization of the movement of all the inner support connecting rods 126 is better, reducing the hysteresis of synchronous movement.

[0063] Even further, the radial driving mechanism includes a radial driver and a gear 144 connected to the radial driver. The outer periphery of the driving disk 141 is provided with engaging teeth 143. The gear 144 meshes with the engaging teeth 143. The radial driver is configured to drive the gear 144 to rotate, and then drive the driving disk 141 to rotate.

[0064] Among them, the radial driver can be a motor. Of course, the radial driving mechanism can also include a motor directly connected to the driving disk 141, and the driving disk 141 is directly driven to rotate by the motor.

[0065] In some embodiments, such asFigure 3 As shown, an upper fixing plate 150 is further provided above the driving disk 141. The upper fixing plate 150 is connected to the substrate 110. A rotating disk 160 is provided above the upper fixing plate 150. The rotating disk 160 is connected to the driving disk 141. When the driving disk 141 rotates, the rotating disk 160 rotates synchronously. Specifically, through holes can be provided in the upper fixing plate 150, and a connecting rod or a connecting cylinder is inserted into the through holes. The connecting rod or the connecting cylinder is respectively connected to the rotating disk 160 and the driving disk 141.

[0066] A rotating disk sensor 161 is further provided on the top surface of the upper fixing plate 150. The rotating disk sensor 161 is used to detect the rotation angle of the rotating disk 160, and accordingly, the rotation angle of the driving disk 141 can be detected, and then the distance that the inner support rod 123 moves radially can be controlled.

[0067] An embodiment of the present invention further provides an end cap sleeve sealing ring system, as Figure 7 shown, including a first placing seat 210, a second placing seat 220, a sealing ring feeding device 300, an end cap feeding device 400, a handling device 500, an end cap grasping device 600, and the automatic sleeve sealing ring device of any one of the above embodiments. The description of the automatic sleeve sealing ring device can refer to the above embodiments and will not be repeated here.

[0068] The sealing ring feeding device 300 is used to convey the sealing ring to the first placing seat 210, and the end cap feeding device 400 is used to convey the end cap to the second placing seat 220. The substrate of the automatic sleeve sealing ring device 100 and the end cap grasping device 600 are both connected to the handling device 500, and the handling device 500 is used to drive the substrate and the end cap grasping device 600 to move. The automatic sleeve sealing ring device 100 is used to internally support and clamp the sealing ring located on the first placing seat 210. The handling device 500 transports the automatic sleeve sealing ring device 100 above the second placing seat 220, and the automatic sleeve sealing ring device 100 then sleeves the sealing ring on the end cap located on the second placing seat 220. The end cap grasping device 600 is used to grasp the end cap with the sealing ring sleeved thereon, and the handling device 500 moves the end cap grasping device 600 away from above the second placing seat 220 to remove the end cap from the second placing seat 220.

[0069] When the end - cover sleeve sealing - ring system of this embodiment is working, the end - cover feeding device 400 first conveys end - covers to the second placing seat 220, then the sealing - ring feeding device 300 conveys sealing - rings to the first placing seat 210. The handling device 500 moves the automatic sealing - ring sleeving device 100 to the first placing seat 210. The automatic sealing - ring sleeving device 100 internally supports and clamps the sealing - ring located at the first placing seat 210. Then the handling device 500 moves the automatic sealing - ring sleeving device 100 to the second placing seat 220, and the automatic sealing - ring sleeving device 100 sleeves the sealing - ring onto the end - cover located at the second placing seat 220. Then, the handling device 500 moves the end - cover gripping device 600 to the second placing seat 220. The end - cover gripping device 600 grips the end - cover with the sealing - ring sleeved thereon at the second placing seat 220. Then the handling device 500 moves the end - cover gripping device 600 away from above the second placing seat 220 to move the end - cover out of the second placing seat 220, thus completing the operation of sleeving the sealing - ring onto the end - cover.

[0070] It should be noted that the automatic sealing - ring sleeving device 100, the sealing - ring feeding device 300, the end - cover feeding device 400, the handling device 500 and the end - cover gripping device 600 of this embodiment can all be connected to the control module. The control module issues control instructions to the sealing - ring feeding device 300, the end - cover feeding device 400, the handling device 500 and the end - cover gripping device 600 according to the set control program, so that the sealing - ring feeding device 300, the end - cover feeding device 400, the handling device 500 and the end - cover gripping device 600 work in coordination with each other to complete the action of sleeving the sealing - ring onto the end - cover.

[0071] In some embodiments, as Figure 7-9 shown, an internal - support positioning device 340 is provided at the first placing seat 210. The internal - support positioning device 340 includes a plurality of positioning rods 341. The positioning rods 341 can move synchronously along the radial direction relative to the axis of the sealing - ring 20 to internally support and position the sealing - ring 20 from the inside of the sealing - ring 20. Since the positioning rods 341 move synchronously along the radial direction, the sealing - ring 20 will be pushed to make its axis coaxial with the preset position on the first placing seat 210. The sealing - ring 20 on the first placing seat 210 can maintain a unified position, which is convenient for the automatic sealing - ring sleeving device 100 to internally support and clamp the sealing - ring 20.

[0072] Further, a plurality of radially extending radial grooves may be provided at the first placement seat 210. The radial grooves may penetrate the first placement seat 210, and the positioning rods 341 are inserted into the radial grooves. The inner support positioning device 340 further includes a positioning lifting mechanism 342, a positioning lifting plate 343, and an expansion driving mechanism 344. The expansion driving mechanism 344 is fixed on the positioning lifting plate 343 and is connected to the positioning rods 341. The expansion driving mechanism 344 is configured to drive the positioning rods 341 to move synchronously along the radial grooves, and the lifting mechanism 342 is connected to the positioning lifting plate 343 and is configured to drive the positioning lifting plate 343 to move vertically.

[0073] The lifting mechanism 342 first drives the positioning lifting plate 343 to move downward, and the positioning rods 341 retract into the radial grooves, without affecting the movement of the sealing ring 20 above the positioning rods 341. After the sealing ring 20 moves above the positioning rods 341, the lifting mechanism 342 then drives the positioning lifting plate 343 to move upward, and the positioning rods 341 are inserted into the inner side of the sealing ring 20. The expansion driving mechanism 344 then drives the positioning rods 341 to move synchronously along the radial grooves, thereby positioning the sealing ring 20.

[0074] In this embodiment, the lifting mechanism 342 may include a vertically arranged air cylinder, and the push rod of the air cylinder is connected to the positioning lifting plate 343. The expansion driving mechanism 344 may adopt a structure similar to that of the radial driving assembly.

[0075] In some embodiments, as Figure 7-9 shown, the sealing ring feeding device 300 may include a sealing ring vibrating bowl 310, a sealing ring track 320, and a sealing ring linear vibrator 321. The two ends of the sealing ring track 320 are respectively docked with the sealing ring vibrating bowl 310 and the first placement seat 210, and the sealing ring linear vibrator 321 is arranged at the bottom of the sealing ring track 320. The sealing ring vibrating bowl 310 outputs sealing rings to the sealing ring track 320 one by one, and the sealing ring linear vibrator 321 vibrates the sealing ring track 320, so that the sealing rings on the sealing ring track 320 are conveyed to the first placement seat 210.

[0076] In some embodiments, as Figure 7-9As shown, one end of the first placement seat 210 can form a feeding station, and the positioning rod 341 is arranged at the feeding station. The other end of the first placement seat 210 receives the sealing ring 20 conveyed by the sealing ring feeding device 300. A sealing ring moving device 350 is arranged on one side of the first placement seat 210. The sealing ring moving device 350 is connected with a sealing ring plug 351. The sealing ring plug 351 can be inserted into the inner side of the sealing ring 20 conveyed by the sealing ring feeding device 300. Then the sealing ring moving device 350 drives the sealing ring plug 351 to move towards the feeding station of the first placement seat 210, and the sealing ring plug 351 correspondingly drives the sealing ring 20 to move towards the feeding station of the first placement seat 210, so that the sealing ring 20 can be moved to the feeding station for the positioning rod 341 to internally support and position the sealing ring 20, and for the automatic sealing ring sleeving device 100 to clamp the sealing ring 20.

[0077] A guiding groove can be arranged on the surface of the first placement seat 210. The extending direction of the guiding groove is parallel to the moving direction of the sealing ring 20. The sealing ring plug 351 can be inserted into the guiding groove to avoid the sealing ring plug 351 and prevent the sealing ring plug 351 from being damaged by friction due to abutting against the surface of the first placement seat 210.

[0078] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 、 Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, a clamping and positioning device 440 is arranged at the second placement seat 220. The clamping and positioning device 440 includes two relatively arranged clamping seats 441. The two clamping seats 441 can move towards each other synchronously to clamp and position the end cover 10. Since the two clamping seats 441 can move towards each other synchronously, the two clamping seats 441 will push the end cover 10 towards the preset position in the center, so that all the end covers 10 on the second placement seat 220 are in this preset position to accurately position the end cover 10, and the automatic sealing ring sleeving device 100 can accurately sleeve the sealing ring on the end cover 10.

[0079] In this embodiment, the clamping and positioning device 440 can include a synchronous driving mechanism. The synchronous driving mechanism is connected with the two clamping seats 441 and drives the two clamping seats 441 to move towards each other synchronously or move away from each other synchronously. The synchronous driving mechanism can include a synchronous conveyor belt.

[0080] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 、 Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, the end cap feeding device 400 includes an end cap placement box 410, an end cap lifting mechanism 420, and a blanking chute 430. The end cap placement box 410 is loaded with end caps 10. The end cap lifting mechanism 420 is used to lift the end caps 10 and convey the end caps 10 to the blanking chute 430. The blanking chute 430 is inclined, and the lowest end of the height of the blanking chute 430 is docked with the second placement seat 220. The end caps 10 that enter the blanking chute 430 can slide down to the second placement seat 220 by their own gravity. Thus, the conveyance of the end caps 10 is completed.

[0081] In order to prevent the end caps 10 from continuing to slide forward under their own weight in the blanking chute 430, a stop mechanism 460 can be provided at one end of the second placement seat 220 where the end cap feeding device 400 conveys the end caps 10. The stop mechanism 460 is used to block the end caps 10 from continuing to slide. The stop mechanism 460 includes a stop plate and a stop plate lifting mechanism connected to the stop plate. The second placement seat 220 is provided with a through slot, and the stop plate is inserted into the through slot. The stop plate lifting mechanism can drive the stop plate to move vertically. When stopping is required, the stop plate lifting mechanism drives the stop plate to extend upward out of the through slot, and the stop plate can block the end caps 10; when stopping is not required, the stop plate lifting mechanism drives the stop plate to retract downward into the through slot, and the stop plate no longer blocks the end caps 10.

[0082] In some embodiments, as Figure 7 、 Figure 10 and Figure 11 shown, one end of the second placement seat 220 can form a feeding station, and the clamping and positioning device 440 is arranged at the feeding station. The other end of the second placement seat 210 receives the end caps 10 conveyed by the end cap feeding device 400. One side of the second placement seat 220 is provided with an end cap moving device 450. The end cap moving device 450 is connected with an end cap plug 451. The end cap plug 451 can be inserted into the end caps 10 conveyed by the end cap feeding device 400. The end cap moving device 450 then drives the end cap plug 451 to move towards the feeding station of the second placement seat 220. The end cap plug 451 correspondingly drives the end caps 10 to move towards the feeding station of the second placement seat 220, which can move the end caps 10 to the feeding station for the automatic seal ring sleeving device 100 to sleeve the seal rings onto the end caps 10.

[0083] In some embodiments, as Figure 7 and Figure 12 shown, the end cap gripping device 600 can include jaws to grip the end caps, or the end cap gripping device 600 includes a vacuum suction nozzle that can adsorb and fix the end caps. Of course, the end cap gripping device 600 can also be other devices that can grip the end caps.

[0084] In some embodiments, as Figure 7 and Figure 13As shown, the end cap sleeve sealing ring system further includes a third placement seat 230, where a sealing ring detection device 700 is provided. The end cap gripping device 600 is used to move the end cap 10 to the third placement seat 230 in cooperation with the handling device 500. The sealing ring detection device 700 is used to detect whether a sealing ring is sleeved on the end cap 10 located on the third placement seat 230.

[0085] The sealing ring detection device 700 may specifically include a detection driver 710 and a detection sensor 720 connected to the detection driver 710. The detection driver 710 is used to drive the detection sensor 720 to move vertically, and the detection sensor 720 is used to detect whether a sealing ring is sleeved on the end cap 10.

[0086] A ring groove 11 is provided at a preset position on the end cap 10, and the sealing ring is sleeved in the ring groove 11. The detection driver 710 is used to drive the detection sensor 720 to move to a suitable position, and the detection sensor 720 can detect whether there is a sealing ring in the ring groove 11. The detection sensor 720 may specifically be an optoelectronic distance sensor. When there is a sealing ring in the ring groove 11, the distance detected by the optoelectronic distance sensor is equal to or less than a preset distance. When there is no sealing ring in the ring groove 11, the distance detected by the optoelectronic distance sensor is greater than the preset distance.

[0087] Of course, after the sealing ring detection device 700 completes the detection, the material transfer device can remove the end cap 10 from the third placement seat 230 for subsequent detection of the next end cap 10.

[0088] In some embodiments, as Figure 7 and Figure 12 shown, the handling device 500 may include a vertical movement mechanism and a horizontal movement mechanism connected to the vertical movement mechanism. The end cap gripping device 600 and the substrate 110 are both connected to the horizontal movement mechanism. The first placement seat 210, the second placement seat 220, and the third placement seat 230 are distributed horizontally. The vertical movement mechanism can drive the end cap gripping device 600 and the substrate 110 to move vertically, so that the end cap gripping device 600 and the automatic sealing ring sleeving device 100 approach or move away from the placement seat. The horizontal movement mechanism can drive the end cap gripping device 600 and the substrate 110 to move horizontally, so that the end cap gripping device 600 and the automatic sealing ring sleeving device 100 move above different placement seats.
