[0046] In order to facilitate the understanding of those skilled in the art, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with embodiments and drawings. The contents mentioned in the implementation modes are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0047] like Figure 1-14 As shown, an automatic assembly machine for a backing device of a flow meter, the automatic assembly machine is used to assemble an external backing device 10, the backing device 10 includes a support element 101, an elastic element 102 and a backing element 103 from bottom to top, the automatic assembly machine includes a frame 1 and a control system, the frame 1 is provided with a rotating platform 2 and an opening assisting device 3 both electrically connected to the control system, a plurality of carriers 4 are evenly arranged on the side of the rotating platform 2, the outer side of the rotating platform 2 is sequentially provided with a first loading device 5, a second loading device 6, a third loading device 7 and a product unloading device 8 that cooperate with the corresponding carriers 4, the first loading device 5, the second loading device 6, the third loading device 7 and the product unloading device 8 are all electrically connected to the control system;

[0048] Each of the carriers 4 includes a carrier 41, a clamping member 43 and a first pushing member 44 connected to the opening-assisting device 3. The carrier 41 is provided with a receiving groove 411, and one end of the carrier is provided with a stopping groove wall 412 for abutting against the element of the backing device 10. The other end of the carrier 41 is provided with an elastic member 42. The receiving groove 411 is located between the stopping groove wall 412 and the elastic member 42. The clamping member 43 is located in the receiving groove 411 and is slidably connected to the receiving groove 411. One end of the clamping member 43 passes through the elastic member 42 and is fixedly connected to the first pushing member 44. The elastic member 42 is used to push the clamping member 43 to move in a direction close to the stopping groove wall 412. The opening-assisting device 3 is used to drive the first pushing member 44 and move in a direction away from the stopping groove wall 412 so that the clamping member 43 is away from the stopping groove wall 412. A receiving space for placing the element of the backing device 10 is formed between the clamping member 43 and the stopping groove wall 412.

[0049] The utility model has a simple structure for the automatic assembly machine of the backing device for the flow meter, and is used for automatic assembly of the backing device 10. It is easy to use, has high production efficiency, and saves labor costs. The mutual cooperation between the elastic member 42 and the clamping member 43 realizes the automatic clamping of the carrier 4, and the mutual cooperation between the auxiliary opening device 3 and the first pushing member 44 realizes the automatic opening of the carrier. Specifically, the elastic member 42 has a tendency to push the clamping member 43 to move in the direction close to the stop groove wall 412. When the auxiliary opening device 3 drives the first pushing member 44 and moves in the direction away from the stop groove wall 412, the clamping member 43 is driven away from the stop groove wall 412, and the elastic member 42 is squeezed, so that the accommodation space for placing the backing device 10 elements is expanded, so that the accommodation space of the carrier 4 has enough space. The backing device 10 components are loaded at the position, or the clamping member 43 is moved away from the components in the accommodating space, so as to facilitate the picking up of the assembled backing device 10 products and realize the automatic opening of the carrier 4; when the force of the opening-assisting device 3 acting on the corresponding first push member 44 disappears, under the influence of the restoring force of the elastic member 42, the clamping member 43 moves in the direction close to the stop groove wall 412 until it abuts against the components in the accommodating space, so as to realize the automatic clamping of the carrier 4. At the same time, under the action of the elastic member 42, the mutual cooperation between the clamping member 43 and the stop groove wall 412 defines the position of the components, so as to avoid the displacement of the components during assembly, and the operation is simple. Compared with the prior art, the mutual cooperation between the loading device, the carrier 4 and the opening-assisting device 3 can realize the automatic opening and closing of the carrier and the automatic loading of the backing device 10 components without opening the carrier manually, thereby improving the assembly efficiency and ensuring the assembly quality of the backing device 10.

[0050] In this embodiment, the elastic member 42 includes a connecting rod, a mounting frame, and a compression spring arranged in the mounting frame. The mounting frame is fixedly connected to the carrier 41, one end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the clamping member 43, and the other end of the connecting rod passes through the mounting frame and is fixedly connected to the first pushing member 44. The compression spring is sleeved outside the connecting rod in the mounting frame. Specifically, when stationary, the compression spring has a tendency to force the connecting rod and drive the clamping member 43 to move in a direction close to the stop groove wall 412; when the auxiliary opening device 3 drives the first pushing member 44 to move in a direction away from the stop groove wall 412, and drives the connecting rod and the clamping member 43 to move in a direction away from the stop groove wall 412, the compression spring is compressed in the mounting frame; when the force of the auxiliary opening device 3 acting on the corresponding first pushing member 44 disappears, the clamping member 43 moves in a direction close to the stop groove wall 412 under the influence of the restoring force of the elastic member 42.

The product unloading device 8 takes out the backing device 10 located in the carrier 4 and transports it to the next production process; then the control system continues to control the rotation of the rotating platform 2 to carry out a new round of automatic assembly of the backing device 10. Moreover, there are multiple carriers 4. According to the regulation of the control system, during operation, the workstations of the first loading device 5, the second loading device 6, the third loading device 7 and the product unloading device 8 are all equipped with carriers 4, so that the loading of the support element 101, the elastic element 102 and the backing element 103 and the unloading of the assembled backing device 10 product can be carried out simultaneously, running steadily, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the backing device 10.

The two driving components are respectively connected to the first extension arm 34 and the second extension arm 35. The driving components are used to be drivenly connected to the corresponding first push member 44, and the structure is simple. Among them, the driving component connected to the first extension arm 34 is used to drive the first pushing member 44 to slide along the rotating platform 2 and drive the clamping member 43 to squeeze the elastic member 42, so that the accommodating space of the carrier 4 is expanded, so that the accommodating space of the carrier 4 has enough space to load the bracket element 101; the driving component connected to the second extension arm 35 is used to drive the first pushing member 44 to move in the direction away from the stopping groove wall 412 so that the clamping member 43 is away from the stopping groove wall 412, so that the accommodating space of the carrier 4 has enough space to pick up the assembled backing device 10 product.
