[0035] In order to deepen the understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with embodiments and drawings. The embodiments are only used to explain the present invention and do not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the present invention.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1-7 The present embodiment provides a filter element water stop ring assembly device, which mainly includes a feeder 1, an internal support mechanism 2, a gripping mechanism 4 and a flipping mechanism 5, wherein the feeder 1 is used for feeding, and the feeder 1 arranges the water stop rings 3 neatly and feeds them in sequence, and it has a discharge port. The feeder 1 in the present embodiment adopts a vibration plate. During production, the vibration plate has been calibrated to ensure that the discharged water stop rings 3 can be arranged in a prescribed direction. In order to prevent the front and back of individual water stop rings 3 from being incorrect, a position sensor 12 is provided at the discharge port 11 to monitor whether the discharged water stop rings 3 are in the correct arrangement direction. If they are placed upside down, an alarm will be issued to notify the operator to intervene, thereby improving the assembly quality of the water stop rings 3.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 2-4 The inner support mechanism 2 is arranged on one side of the feeder 1, and is used to open the water stop ring 3 from the inside. A lifting module 28 is arranged on one side of the inner support mechanism 2 to drive the inner support mechanism 2 to move up and down. The inner support mechanism 2 includes an inner support platform 21, and four slide grooves are provided on the inner support platform 21. The four slide grooves are arranged in a "cross" shape. Four inner support claws 22 are slidably arranged in the four slide grooves. The inner support claws 22 are in an "L"-shaped structure, and have a vertical section for opening the water stop ring 3 and a horizontal section axially connected to the connecting rod 23. In the initial stage, the four inner support claws 22 are in a close-together state, which is convenient for the insertion of the water stop ring 3. The bottom of the four inner support claws 22 are connected to the output end of the first electric cylinder 24 through four connecting rods 23 respectively. The output end of the first electric cylinder 24 is set vertically upward. One end of the connecting rod 23 is axially connected to the inner support claws 22, and the other end is axially connected to the output end of the first electric cylinder 24. The reciprocating motion of the first electric cylinder 24 drives the inner support claws 22 to reciprocate along the slide groove. When the output end of the first electric cylinder 24 is lifted upward, the upper side of the connecting rod 23 drives the inner support claws to slide toward the outside of the inner support platform 21. At this time, the vertical section of the inner support claws 22 opens the water stop ring 3 from the inner side of the water stop ring 3, waiting for the insertion of the filter element 6.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 5 The grabbing mechanism 4 is horizontally movable and arranged above the discharge port 11 and the inner supporting mechanism 2, and is used to grab the water stop ring 3 from the discharge port 11 to the inner supporting mechanism 2. The clamping claws on the grabbing mechanism 4 clamp the water stop ring 3 from the discharge port 11 and place the water stop ring 3 on four close-together inner supporting claws 22.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 6 , 7 The flipping mechanism 5 is arranged on one side of the grasping mechanism 4 and moves horizontally synchronously with the grasping mechanism 4. The grasping mechanism 4 and the flipping mechanism 5 are arranged on the transverse moving module 7 at a fixed distance. The grasping mechanism 4 and the flipping mechanism 5 are driven by the same cylinder to reciprocate on the transverse moving module 7.

[0041] The flipping mechanism 5 specifically includes a flipping movable plate 51 slidably arranged on the transverse moving module 7, a vertically lifting flipping platform 52 is arranged on the flipping movable plate 51, the flipping platform 52 is driven by a second electric cylinder 57 to reciprocate up and down along the slide rail, a flipping cylinder 53 is arranged on the flipping platform 52, a filter element clamp 54 is arranged at the output end of the flipping cylinder 53, the filter element clamp 54 grabs the horizontally placed filter element 6, flips the filter element 6 to a vertical state, and inserts it into the stretched water stop ring 3 to assemble the water stop ring.

[0042] Furthermore, the flip cylinder 53 is tilted, a rack 55 is provided in the output end of the flip cylinder 53, and a gear 56 meshing with the rack 55 is provided on the top of the filter element clamp 54. The flipping of the filter element clamp 54 is achieved by kneading the rack 55 and the gear 56.

[0043] The working principle of this embodiment is:

[0044] First, the water stop ring 3 is fed into the feeder 1. The water stop ring 3 is discharged in sequence under the action of the vibration disk and waits to be clamped at the discharge port. The material taking mechanism takes out the water stop ring 3 waiting at the discharge port, and driven by the transverse movement module 7, the water stop ring 3 is moved to the inner support mechanism 2 and placed on four inner support claws 22 that are close together.

[0045] At the same time, the filter element clamp 54 on the flipping mechanism 5 descends to grab the filter element 6, and flips the filter element 6 90° to a vertical state, and then starts the first electric cylinder 24 to open the four inner support claws 22; then, driven by the transverse module 7, the filter element 6 is moved to the top of the inner support mechanism 2, and the second electric cylinder 57 is started to insert the filter element 6 into the opened water stop ring 3. At this time, the lifting module 28 drives the inner support mechanism 2 to descend as a whole, and the inner support claws 22 retract until the water stop ring 3 is put on the filter element 6.

[0046] After the assembly of the water stop ring 3 is completed, the second electric cylinder 57 is started to take out the filter element 6 upwards. At the same time, the material taking mechanism takes out the next water stop ring 3. Driven by the transverse movement module 7, the material taking mechanism 4 and the flipping mechanism 5 reach the initial position, and the water stop ring 3 to be assembled and the assembled filter element 6 are put down at the same time. This cycle improves the assembly efficiency of the water stop ring 3.

[0047] Example 2

[0048] This embodiment is formed on the basis of the embodiment 1, and the stability of the clamping of the water stop ring 3 is ensured by further setting the specific structure of the clamping claw of the grabbing mechanism 4. Specifically:

The grabbing platform 42 moves up and down along the slide rail through a cylinder control, and four slide grooves are opened on the grabbing platform 42. Four clamping claws 43 extending downward to the grabbing platform 42 are slidably arranged in the slide grooves, and each clamping claw 43 is driven by a cylinder to reciprocate in the slide groove. Different from the traditional single clamping claw mode, this embodiment equips each clamping claw 43 with a separate cylinder, which can play a unilateral compensation role for clamping the relatively soft water stop ring 3, prevent the water stop ring 3 from falling off due to different forces on the four sides, and improve the stability of the equipment.
