Description

An angle valve assembly equipment Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of valve assembly technology, and more particularly to an angle valve assembly device. Background Technology

[0002] Angle valves are a type of hardware accessory widely used in home decoration and many industrial fields. They are usually installed on the wall outlet and terminal equipment. The water inlet of the faucet is generally a female thread nut, while the water outlet on the wall is a female thread connector. Angle valves can realize the conversion connection between the two, which is convenient for the installation and adjustment of faucets and other equipment. Moreover, the angle valve can be closed separately during maintenance without affecting the water supply in other areas.

[0003] In the current production and assembly of angle valves, assembly is still carried out in an assembly line manner. This means that multiple workstations are set up on a production line, with one or more production workers at each workstation. Each worker is responsible for assembling one component. The assembled semi-finished product flows to the next workstation for further assembly until the product is fully assembled. However, in the assembly of angle valves, the assembly quality varies due to differences in worker skills. Therefore, the inspection of the assembled angle valves is very important.

[0004] Currently, angle valves are tested manually using water or air pressure. This traditional assembly and testing method requires a large number of workers, which is not only inefficient but also prone to omissions, leading to unstable product quality. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an angle valve assembly device that solves the problems of excessive worker involvement and unstable quality inspection mentioned in the background section.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an angle valve assembly device, comprising a tightener for tightening angle valve components to complete the assembly of the angle valve, the tightener consisting of a sliding component one and a cross-shaped tightening head; a water pressure testing mechanism for testing the sealing performance of the finished angle valve, the water pressure testing mechanism consisting of a sealing ring, a water pressure pipe, a guide rail, a piston, a groove, a striking pin, a water pressure cover, a striking pin tube, and a sliding component two; a slide rail lifting mechanism for adjusting the vertical height of the tightener, the slide rail lifting mechanism consisting of a slide rail lifter, a sliding frame, a sliding beam, a transverse slide rail, and a longitudinal slide rail; a robotic arm gripping mechanism for gripping the finished angle valve and providing an installation position for the water pressure testing mechanism, the robotic arm gripping mechanism consisting of a robotic arm lifter, a robotic arm, a water injection pipe, and a water tank; and a belt conveyor mechanism consisting of a belt conveyor component one, a belt conveyor component two, and a fixing device, used to convey the angle valve components to the assembly position.

[0010] In the aforementioned angle valve assembly equipment, a robotic arm is rotatably mounted above the robotic arm lifter, and a water injection pipe is fixedly mounted below the robotic arm, with a water tank fixedly connected below the water injection pipe.

[0011] In the aforementioned angle valve assembly equipment, the conveyor assembly consists of a mounting platform, a motor, a drive shaft, a conveyor belt, multiple transmission wheels, and multiple transmission shafts. The motor is fixedly mounted on the mounting platform, and the drive shaft and multiple transmission shafts are rotatably mounted on the mounting platform. The output end of the drive shaft is fixedly connected to the motor. The multiple transmission wheels are respectively fixedly mounted on the drive shaft and the multiple transmission shafts. The conveyor belt is set between the multiple transmission shafts.

[0012] In the aforementioned angle valve assembly equipment, the conveyor assembly 2 comprises a mounting platform 2, a motor 2, a drive shaft 2, a conveyor belt 2, multiple transmission wheels 2, and multiple transmission shafts 2. The motor 2 is fixedly mounted on the mounting platform 2.

The angle valve is assembled entirely by machine, which greatly reduces the degree of worker involvement and greatly reduces the labor intensity of workers.

[0015] 2: Through the design of the clamp and pressure device, it can automatically adapt to various models of parts and actively adjust the installation pressure, unifying the clamping force and greatly reducing the impact on the quality of the angle valve caused by the difference in worker skills.

[0017] In summary, this invention can achieve fully automated assembly and is compatible with various models of assembly parts. It can greatly reduce the labor intensity of workers, standardize the pressure of instruments, reduce the defect rate, and the design of the automatic sealing detection device avoids the instability of manual inspection and ensures product quality.
