[0002] The stop valve, also known as the gate valve, is a forced sealing valve. Therefore, when the valve is closed, pressure must be applied to the valve disc to force the sealing surface to prevent leakage. When the medium enters the valve from below the valve disc, the resistance that the operating force needs to overcome is the friction between the valve stem and the packing and the thrust generated by the pressure of the medium. The force to close the valve is greater than the force to open the valve, so the diameter of the valve stem must be large, otherwise the valve stem will bend.

By setting up the end cover assembly 4, the distance between the end cover clamp and the valve body assembly hole is increased by 1MM, thereby appropriately widening the distance to facilitate positioning, and the six holes originally opened on the end face 401 are changed to four through holes 403, so that the relationship with the angles of the four sides is more coordinated, which is conducive to precise positioning, and the angle of the buckle 402 is also reduced accordingly, which is convenient for pressing in and is conducive to the automated assembly between the end cover and the valve body.

[0024] The frame 1 is provided with a feeding device 3, which is composed of a moving cylinder 301, a rotating cylinder 302, a spring positioning cylinder 303, a first clamping cylinder 304, an end cover positioning 305 and a vibration plate 306; wherein, a fixture suction cup is provided below the rotating cylinder 302.

[0025] In this embodiment, by setting the end cover assembly 4, the distance between the end cover clamp and the valve body assembly hole is increased by 1MM, which is convenient for positioning. The six holes originally opened on the end face 401 are changed to four through holes 403, so that the relationship with the angles of the four sides is more coordinated, which is conducive to precise positioning. The angle of the buckle 402 is also chamfered accordingly to facilitate pressing in, which is conducive to the automated assembly between the end cover and the valve body. Example

[0026] like Figure 1-5 As shown, on the basis of Example 1, the utility model provides a technical solution: preferably, a deburring device 5 is provided on the belt conveyor 2, and the deburring device 5 includes a fixing plate 501, a lifting cylinder 502 is connected to the fixing plate 501, a telescopic rod 503 is connected to the output end of the lifting cylinder 502, a cloth bag 504 is sleeved on the lower end of the telescopic rod 503, and abrasive is installed inside the cloth bag 504. Through the deburring device 5, the abrasive installed in the cloth bag 504 enters the central hole 404 of the end face 401, so as to perform grinding and polishing, and because the abrasive is a semi-fluid or liquid, it is not necessary to care about the structural characteristics of the inner hole, so that it has the advantages of environmental protection, uniform polishing, thorough deburring and no damage to the workpiece.

[0027] The frame 1 is provided with an airtightness detection jig 6 and a carbon dioxide marking machine 7, and a safety baffle is connected to the carbon dioxide marking machine 7. The airtightness detection jig 6 is provided to enable the assembled valve body to be tested for airtightness.

Because the abrasive is a semi-fluid or liquid, there is no need to care about the structural characteristics of the inner hole. This method has the advantages of being environmentally friendly, uniform polishing, thorough deburring, and no damage to the workpiece.

[0031] The working principle of the valve body placement device for assembling a refueling stop valve will be described in detail below.

[0032] like Figure 1-5 As shown, when in use, the valve body, O-ring, valve core and spring are assembled manually, put into the work station, and placed in the belt conveyor 2. The equipment is started by one button through the human-machine touch screen 9, and the thin cylinder is used to locate the material. The first clamping cylinder 304 grabs the parts, and the synchronous belt is synchronously transmitted. The lifting cylinder 502 starts to work, and the telescopic rod 503 is reciprocated up and down to make its running spacing equal to the transmission spacing of the synchronous belt. The abrasive installed in the bag 504 is retracted to the inside of the center hole 404 of the end cover, and the center hole 404 is deburred. Because the abrasive is a semi-fluid or liquid, there is no need to care about the structural characteristics of the inner hole, so it has the advantages of environmental protection, uniform polishing, thorough deburring and no damage to the workpiece. By setting up the end cover assembly 4, the distance between the end cover clamp and the valve body assembly hole is increased by 1MM, which is convenient for positioning. The six holes originally opened on the end face 401 are changed to four through holes 403, so that the relationship with the angles of the four sides is more coordinated, which is conducive to precise positioning. The angle of the buckle 402 is also chamfered accordingly to facilitate pressing in, which is conducive to the automated assembly between the end cover and the valve body.
