[0045] like Figure 3 , 4 The figure shows the structure of the assembly equipment for pipe joints of the utility model, which is usually used for assembling Figure 1 The equipment includes a transfer assembly 1, a feeding assembly 2 and a pressing assembly 3, wherein the transfer assembly 1 is used to transfer the package column 7 to be pressed, the feeding assembly 2 is used to transfer the package end bracket 4 to be assembled, and the pressing assembly 3 is used to press the package column 7 onto the package end bracket 4.

[0046] like Figure 5 , 7 As shown, the transfer assembly 1 includes a support frame 101, a manipulator 102, a mounting plate 103, a first finger cylinder 104, a second finger cylinder 105, a first clamping plate 106, a first clamping block 107, a clamping groove 108, a second clamping plate 109, a clamping groove 110, a second clamping block 111, a fixing frame 112, a CCD camera 113 and a light source 114. The support frame 101 is placed in a processing workshop, and the manipulator 102 is fixed on the top of the support frame 101, which is used to clamp the package column 7 and transfer the package column 7 to the package end bracket 4 conveyed by the feeding assembly 2 (a conventional conveyor belt mechanism is provided on one side of the support frame 101 for conveying the pressed package column 7).

[0047] The mounting plate 103 is fixed to the bottom of the manipulator 102, the first finger cylinder 104 is fixed to one side of the bottom of the mounting plate 103 through a rotating cylinder, and the second finger cylinder 105 is fixed to the other side of the bottom of the mounting plate 103.

[0053] The linear slide 201 is fixed on the top of the support frame 101 and is located on one side of the feeding slide rail 202. The connecting plate 205 is fixed on the sliding part of the linear slide 201 and is connected to the moving plate 204 for driving the moving plate 204 to move.

[0054] The carrier plate 206 is fixed on the top of the movable plate 204 and is used to carry the package end bracket 4 to be assembled. Fig.11As shown, the positioning boss 207 is integrally connected to the top of the carrier plate 206, and an avoidance arc 208 is provided on the inner side of the positioning boss 207. During actual assembly, the worker can place the package end bracket 4 to be assembled between multiple groups of positioning bosses 207. The avoidance arc 208 on the inner side of the positioning boss 207 can also play a certain guiding role for the inserted package end bracket 4.

[0055] The side plate 209 is fixed to the outside of the movable plate 204, and the knob plunger 210 is fixed to the side plate 209 and abuts against both sides of the carrier plate 206. The knob plunger 210 abuts against both sides of the carrier plate 206 to limit the carrier plate 206 and prevent the carrier plate 206 from deflecting when assembling the bag end.

[0056] like Figure 12-14 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of the structure of the pressing assembly 3, which is used to press the package column 7 after adjusting the angle onto the package end bracket 4. The pressing assembly includes a pressing frame 301, a fixing plate 302, a pressing rail 303, a pressing slider 304, a pressing cylinder 305, a lifting plate 306, a pressing plate 307, a drag chain 308, a reinforcing rib 309, a pressure sensor 310 and a pressing column 311.

The fixing plate 302 is fixed on the inner side of the pressing frame 301 and is used to install the pressing cylinder 305.

[0057] The pressing rail 303 is vertically fixed to the side of the fixed plate 302 away from the pressing frame 301 by screw fastening, and the pressing slider 304 is slidably installed on the pressing rail 303. The lifting plate 306 is fixed on the pressing slider 304. By setting the pressing rail 303 and the pressing slider 304, the stability of the lifting plate 306 during the lifting process is ensured.

[0058] The pressing plate 307 is fixed to the bottom of the lifting plate 306. In order to improve the structural strength of the pressing plate 307 and the lifting plate 306, an "L"-shaped reinforcing rib 309 is fixed between the pressing plate 307 and the lifting plate 306. The pressing cylinder 305 is fixed on the fixed plate 302. The piston rod of the pressing cylinder 305 is connected to a pressure sensor 310. The pressure sensor 310 is connected to the pressing plate 307. Under the action of the pressing cylinder 305, the pressing plate 307 is driven to move up and down. The pressing column 311 is fixed to the bottom of the pressing plate 307 to press the package column 7 down onto the package end bracket 4. During the pressing process, the current pressing pressure value can be obtained through the pressure sensor 310 to avoid the situation where the pressure is too small to cause the pressing to be in place, or the pressure is too large to cause excessive pressing.

[0059] The assembly process of the assembly equipment for the pipe joint of the utility model is as follows:

[0060] First, the first clamping block 107 clamps the package column 7 to be assembled, and the package column 7 is rotated to a suitable angle with the cooperation of the CCD camera 113, and then the robot 102 places the package column 7 on the package end bracket 4 of the carrier plate 206;

[0061] The feeding assembly 2 drives the carrier plate 206 to move to the bottom of the pressing assembly 3, and drives the pressing column 311 to descend through the pressing cylinder 305, so that the package column 7 is pressed onto the package end bracket 4. The current downward pressure value can be obtained through the pressure sensor 310 to avoid the situation where the pressure is too small to cause the pressing to be in place, or the pressure is too large to cause excessive pressing.
