[0002] Faucet injection molding refers to the faucet parts manufactured by injection molding, which generally include the faucet body and the ball valve located in the body. Since the ball valve must be placed in the faucet before injection molding, it is necessary to place the ball valve in the injection mold before injection molding. Since the position of the ball valve in the injection mold is relatively fixed, Figure 1 As shown, workers need to first insert the ball valve 10 onto the positioning member 11 for positioning in the mold, and then the ball valve 10 can be positioned in the mold cavity through the positioning column.

Then the robot 5 can directly clamp the assembled positioning piece 11 into the injection mold for injection molding.

[0036] In some embodiments, two sets of tooling 1 2 are provided and are symmetrically arranged on opposite sides of tooling 2 3, so that ball valves 10 can be assembled on tooling 1 2 on both sides at the same time, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of ball valves 10.

The preassembly device also includes a second manipulator 8, which is used to clamp the ball valve 10 in the vibration plate 9 to realize the function of automatic plate loading.

[0038] Finally, it is worth mentioning that both robot 1 5 and robot 2 8 include a grasping part and a moving part, and both the grasping part and the moving part belong to the prior art. For example, the grasping part can be a pneumatic finger, and the moving part can be a three-axis moving device.

[0039] The working process and beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: the ball valve 10 is grabbed from the position of the vibration disk 9 by the robot 2 8 and placed in the make way groove 21, and then the positioning piece 11 is placed in the make way groove 31 by the robot 1 5, and then the linear drive device 4 can forcefully push the end of the ball valve 10 and clamp it in the positioning piece 11, so as to achieve an interference fit between the ball valve 10 and the positioning piece 11, and then the robot 1 5 can directly clamp the assembled positioning piece 11 into the injection mold.
