Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of valves, in particular to a valve handle assembly machine. Background Art

[0002] Ball valves are common valves in daily life. The working principle of ball valves is to control and switch the fluid by rotating the ball. When the ball valve needs to be opened, the operator will rotate the ball about 90 degrees to align the channel of the ball with the inner diameter of the pipe, thereby allowing the fluid to pass through. This design makes the resistance of the fluid through the valve very small and almost unrestricted. When the ball valve needs to be closed, the ball is rotated about 90 degrees again to offset all or part of the spherical surface from the inner diameter of the pipe, thereby cutting off the flow. It has a high service life and reliability.

[0003] During the assembly of the valve, first connect the valve core and the valve stem, and then connect the valve handle and the valve stem. There is an anti-fool structure between the valve stem and the valve handle to ensure the stability of the valve handle when it is rotated and stressed. Finally, fix the nut on the top of the valve stem to prevent the valve handle from falling out.

[0004] The most common problem is that during the assembly process of the valve stem nut, it is difficult to control the torque of the nut manually, which can easily cause the nut to be over-tightened or under-tightened. Although a torque wrench can be used, the efficiency is still relatively low. Therefore, a new mechanism needs to be designed to improve the tightening efficiency. At the same time, when operating on the valve body, the existing clamping tooling is universal, which sometimes leads to insufficient clamping. Therefore, separate operations are required according to different valve body models to improve work efficiency and stability. Utility Model Content

[0025] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0026] In the utility model:

[0027] Reference Figure 1-4 A valve handle assembly machine includes a base 1 and a valve 4. An annular slide rail 101 is provided at an opening directly above the base 1. An L-shaped bracket 102 extends behind the base 1. A fixing component capable of limiting the position of the valve 4 is provided on the annular slide rail 101. A locking mechanism capable of locking a nut of a valve handle of the valve 4 is provided below the L-shaped bracket 102.

[0028] The fixing assembly includes an electric slide 2, a positioning protrusion 201, a positioning mold 3, a positioning recess 301, a guide rail 302, a support rod 303, and a positioning rod 304;

[0029] An electric slide 2 is movably connected to the annular slide rail 101, and the electric slide 2 can move on the annular slide rail 101. A positioning protrusion 201 is integrally arranged directly above the electric slide 2. A positioning mold 3 is installed above the electric slide 2, and a positioning recess 301 is integrally arranged at the bottom of the positioning mold 3. The positioning recess 301 and the positioning protrusion 201 are matched with each other. By utilizing the connection relationship between the positioning recess 301 and the positioning protrusion, different positioning molds 3 can be replaced according to different needs when the device is in use, thereby making the entire device more adaptable and more flexible to use.

[0030] Guide rails 302 are embedded on both sides of the positioning mold 3, support rods 303 are movably connected above the guide rails 302, and positioning rods 304 are fixedly installed inside the support rods 303;

[0031] The locking mechanism includes a screw guide rail 5, a slider 501, a linkage rod 502, an electric torque wrench 6, an output shaft 601, a buffer slide 602, a sleeve head 7, a buffer slider 701 and a spring 702;

[0032] A screw guide rail 5 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the L-shaped bracket 102. The screw thread on the screw guide rail 5 is divided into two parts in the middle, which are reverse threads to each other. A slider 501 is provided on the screw guide rail 5. A linkage rod 502 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the slider 501, and an electric torque wrench 6 is rotatably connected to the other side of the linkage rod 502. There are two sliders 501 and linkage rods 502, which are symmetrically arranged, and both ends of the linkage rods 502 are rotatably connected to the electric torque wrench 6. By utilizing the reversely arranged screw threads, when the screw is rotating, the two sliders 501 can be moved in the same or reverse direction, which drives the linkage rod 502 to tilt, thereby linking the electric torque wrench 6 to perform vertical lifting and lowering, and then the electric torque wrench 6 is used to tighten the valve handle nut.

[0033] The electric torque wrench 6 is equipped with an output shaft 601, and a buffer groove 602 is integrated at the end of the output shaft 601. A sleeve head 7 is movably connected inside the output shaft 601, and a buffer slider 701 is integrated at one end of the sleeve head 7. A spring 702 is connected between the buffer slider 701 and the buffer groove 602. The groove 602 and the buffer slider 701 are fitted and slidably connected. When the electric torque wrench 6 descends, the sleeve head 7 and the valve handle nut are generally hexagonal in shape, and they cannot fit accurately every time. At this time, when they cannot fit, the sleeve head 7 is pressured and retracted into the output shaft 601. When the output shaft 601 rotates, the sleeve head 7 is pressured by the spring and aligned with the valve handle nut. At this time, the sleeve head 7 descends and bites with the valve handle nut, and the electric torque wrench 6 tightens the valve handle nut.

[0034] Furthermore, there are at least two groups of fixing components, which are evenly distributed, and multiple groups of valve handles can be installed at the same time. The positioning mold 3 can just limit the valve 4. The positioning rod 304 is set corresponding to the flange hole on the valve 4. When the valve handle on the valve 4 needs to be installed, the valve 4 is first placed in the positioning mold 3. The positioning mold 3 performs the first limit on the valve 4, and then the positioning rod 304 is pushed to move and inserted into the corresponding flange hole on the valve 4, and then the second limit is performed.

[0035] Furthermore, the electric torque wrench 6 and the motor provided inside the electric slide 2 are electrically connected to the external power supply through the control panel.

[0036] Working principle: First, place the valve 4 in the positioning mold 3, and the positioning mold 3 performs the first limit on the valve 4, then push the positioning rod 304 to move, and insert it into the flange hole on the valve 4, and then perform the second limit. At this time, the staff will insert the anti-stuck mouth between the valve handle and the valve stem, and then use the thread to bring the valve handle nut into the top of the valve stem. Then, using the reversely set screw thread, when the screw is rotating, the two sliders 501 can move in the same or opposite direction, at this time, the linkage rod 502 is driven to tilt, and then the electric torque wrench 6 is linked to perform vertical lifting. When the electric torque wrench 6 descends, the two sliders 501 can move in the same or opposite direction. When the sleeve head 7 and the valve stem nut are generally hexagonal in shape, they cannot fit accurately every time. When they cannot fit, the sleeve head 7 is retracted into the output shaft 601 by pressure. When the output shaft 601 rotates, the sleeve head 7 is subjected to the pressure of the spring and is aligned with the valve stem nut. At this time, the sleeve head 7 drops and engages with the valve stem nut, and the electric torque wrench 6 tightens the valve stem nut. Finally, by utilizing the connection relationship between the positioning recess 301 and the positioning projection, different positioning molds 3 can be replaced according to different needs when the device is in use, thereby making the entire device more adaptable and more flexible to use.

[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
