[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the utility model discloses a sealing ring installation device for a quick connector, including a mounting base plate 100, on which a working platform 1, a sealing ring conveying module 2, a transfer module 3 and a sealing ring set assembly 4 are arranged. The main components of the utility model are described in detail below:

[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a turntable 11 is provided on the periphery of the working platform 1, and a joint positioning seat 11a is provided on the upper end of the turntable 11; a clamping device 12 and a shooting camera 14 are provided on the upper end of the working platform 1 in sequence, and a photoelectric detection device 13 is also provided on the upper end of the clamping device 12. The joint positioning seat 11a is used to place the quick joint 5, and the clamping device 12 is used to straighten and position the quick joint 5; the photoelectric detection device 13 is used to detect whether there is a quick joint 5 in the joint positioning seat 11a before the sealing ring 6 is installed; the shooting camera 14 is used to detect whether the sealing ring 6 is installed in place on the quick joint 5 and whether there is any missing installation.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the sealing ring conveying module 2 is arranged on one side of the turntable 11, and its output end is provided with a sealing ring positioning seat 21 and a fork-shaped clamping plate 22. The sealing ring positioning seat 21 is used to position the conveyed sealing ring 6; the fork-shaped clamping plate 22 is located on the upper and lower sides of the sealing ring positioning seat 21 to limit the sealing ring 6 from moving up and down.

[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, the transfer module 3 is arranged below the sealing ring positioning seat 21, and is used to transfer the sealing ring 6 at the sealing ring positioning seat 21 to the sealing ring set assembly 4, including a positioning and expanding mechanism 31 that can expand the sealing ring 6 in four directions, and the positioning and expanding mechanism 31 is composed of a slider mechanism 31a that moves in four directions respectively, and an expansion rod mechanism 31b is provided at the upper end of the slider mechanism 31a; a lifting mechanism 32 is provided below the positioning and expanding mechanism 31, and a horizontal moving mechanism 33 is provided on one side of the lifting mechanism 32. It should be noted that the above structure is merely illustrative and not restrictive. In this embodiment, the horizontal moving mechanism 33 is provided on one side of the lifting mechanism 32, but in other embodiments, the horizontal moving mechanism 33 may be below the lifting mechanism 32.

[0035] like Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the sealing ring set assembly 4 includes a bracket 41, a displacement assembly 42 and an installation sleeve 43. The bracket 41 is arranged on one side of the turntable 11, and the displacement assembly 42 is arranged at the top of the bracket 41, which is used to control the installation sleeve 43 to move between the joint positioning seat 11a and the positioning expansion mechanism 31. The installation sleeve 43 includes a clamping jaw 4301, and the clamping jaw 4301 is provided with an air avoidance groove 4301a corresponding to the expansion rod mechanism 31b; the upper end of the clamping jaw 4301 is connected to a lifting drive 4302; the outer periphery of the clamping jaw 4301 is provided with a positioning sleeve 4303, and the positioning sleeve 4303 is provided with an opening structure 4303a corresponding to the air avoidance groove 4301a.

[0036] refer to Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the operating steps of the utility model are as follows:

[0037] S1, the sealing ring 6 reaches the sealing ring positioning seat 21 through the sealing ring conveying module 2, and is restricted by the sealing ring positioning seat 21 to stop moving.

[0038] S2. The positioning and expanding mechanism 31 is driven by the horizontal moving mechanism 33 to move to the bottom of the sealing ring positioning seat 21, the lifting mechanism 32 rises, and the expansion rod mechanism 31b extends into the inner side of the sealing ring 6. During this process, the sealing ring 6 is restricted by the fork-shaped clamping plate 22 and remains motionless.

[0039] S3, the expansion rod mechanism 31b leaves the sealing ring positioning seat 21 driven by the horizontal moving mechanism 33 until it reaches below the mounting sleeve 43; during this process, the slider mechanisms 31a move away from each other, and the sealing ring 6 is gradually expanded by the expansion rod mechanism 31b.

[0040] S4. After reaching the bottom of the installation sleeve 43, the lifting mechanism 32 rises, driving the sealing ring 6 to reach the outer periphery of the clamping jaw 4301, and then the expansion rod mechanism 31b moves inward. During this process, since there is a clearance groove 4301a on the clamping jaw 4301 corresponding to the expansion rod mechanism 31b, it is ensured that the expansion rod mechanism 31b will not interfere with the clamping jaw 4301, and finally the sealing ring 6 retracts and is sleeved on the outside of the clamping jaw 4301.

[0041] S5. The displacement assembly 42 drives the installation sleeve 43 to reach above the joint positioning seat 11a, the clamping device 12 clamps and straightens the quick connector 5, and the photoelectric detection device 13 detects whether the quick connector 5 is in place.

[0042] S6. After the quick connector 5 is straightened, the displacement assembly 42 drives the installation sleeve 43 to move downward, so that the sealing ring 6 moves to the installation position of the quick connector 5, and then the lifting drive 4302 drives the clamping jaw 4301 to move upward. During this process, the positioning sleeve 4303 limits the movement of the sealing ring 6, so that the sealing ring 6 is separated from the clamping jaw 4301 and finally shrinks to the installation position of the quick connector 5.

[0043] S7 . The installed quick connector 5 is moved to the shooting camera 14 via the turntable 11 to detect the installation position of the sealing ring 6 .

[0044] The above embodiment provided by the utility model is only an example of the principle and effect of the utility model, and is not used to limit the utility model. Anyone familiar with this technology can modify or change the above embodiment without violating the spirit and scope of the utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or changes made by those with ordinary knowledge in the relevant technical field without departing from the spirit and technical ideas disclosed by the utility model should still be covered by the claims of the utility model.
