The moving seat of the clamping Y-axis moving module 173 is provided with a clamping profile 174. The clamping profile 174 is provided with multiple sets of spaced clamping blocks 175 along its length. The working end of the clamping block 175 is provided with a clamping slot 1751, which is adapted to the valve body. The end of the clamping profile 174 is provided with a pusher plate 176. The clamping X-axis moving module 172 and clamping Y-axis moving module 173 adopt high-precision linear guides and servo motors / pneumatic drives to achieve nanometer-level trajectory planning for valve body transfer paths. Five sets of clamping blocks 175 are evenly distributed on the clamping profile 174, which can clamp five valve bodies at the same time. The spacing is adjustable from 50 to 200 mm, ensuring synchronous transfer of multiple workpieces and greatly improving efficiency. The pusher plate 176 is linked with the pick-up and put-down action of the clamping blocks 175. Through the lateral movement of the clamping X-axis moving module 172, the processed valve body is accurately pushed into the conveyor line, avoiding the cycle time caused by manual intervention. There is no need to add a pusher plate drive mechanism. By linking with the pick-up and put-down action, the solenoid valve that has completed the attitude adjustment can be pushed away, realizing automated unloading and eliminating the bottleneck of manual intervention.

Multiple positioning cylinders 24 cooperate with clamping blocks 175 on the clamping and transfer mechanism 17 to position the valve body. When the valve body completes the current process, the positioning shafts of the multiple positioning cylinders 24 retract, and the valve body is transferred by the clamping blocks 175. The positioning cylinders 24 and clamping blocks 175 are linked to form a bidirectional clamping force field during valve body processing, suppressing displacement caused by vibration. The valve body conveyor line 18, washer vibratory feeder 19, electromagnetic cover conveyor line 20, and nut vibratory feeder 21 adopt a distributed layout and are uniformly scheduled by PLC to achieve synchronous feeding of multiple materials.

The lever 224 has rollers at both ends, which contact the T-shaped ejector block 223 and the ejector block 228 respectively. This design is used to amplify the stroke or force of the cylinder to achieve more precise control. The ejector cylinder 227 pushes the lever through the ejector block 228, which in turn drives the T-shaped ejector block 223 to eject the nut.
