Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of automobile fuel tank ICV valve processing, and more specifically to a combined clamping claw of an automatic assembly robot for automobile fuel tank ICV valves. Background Art
[0002] The ICV valve is a one-way valve typically installed on the filler neck of a vehicle's fuel tank. During refueling, the ICV valve prevents fuel from backsplashing or splashing, ensuring that fuel flows only from the tank to the engine and not back into the tank. Furthermore, the ICV valve facilitates fuel flow into the tank during refueling, preventing fuel from escaping through the filler pipe. In metal fuel tanks, the ICV valve is typically installed on the inside of the tank and must be manually installed through the narrow opening of the fuel pump port. It cannot be connected by welding or other methods, requiring assembly with the vehicle's fuel tank.
[0003] Based on the above, the inventors found that the existing automobile fuel tank ICV valve needs to be installed by manual clamping during assembly, which reduces the efficiency and convenience of the ICV valve assembly. Therefore, in view of this, the existing structure is studied and improved to provide an automobile fuel tank ICV valve automatic assembly robot combination gripper, in order to achieve a more practical purpose.
