[0023] Refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4, A breathing valve installation mechanism of this embodiment includes a mounting plate 1, a mounting component 2 and a positioning component 3 arranged on the mounting plate 1. The mounting component 2 includes a telescopic driving module and a sleeve 22. In this embodiment, the telescopic driving module is a cylinder 21, and an electric cylinder can also be selected in other embodiments. The cylinder body of the cylinder 21 is fixed on one side of the mounting plate 1. The sleeve 22 is arranged at the piston end 211 of the cylinder 21 through an elastic connecting piece 23 and moves closer to and away from the product 100 driven by the piston end 211. A start button 6 is arranged outside the mounting plate 1 and is electrically connected to the cylinder 21 to control the start and stop of the cylinder 21. A breathing valve placement position 221 is arranged inside the port at the end of the sleeve 22 away from the elastic connecting piece 23, and a guiding surface 222 is arranged on the outer circle of the port. The guiding surface 222 is an inclined surface with an inverted C angle on the outer circle of the port of the sleeve 22, which is more convenient for guiding the sleeve port with the breathing valve to be aligned correctly, so as to be smoothly inserted into the corresponding breathing valve installation position 101 on the product 100. In this embodiment, the elastic connecting piece 23 can be selected as an elastic coupling. The elastic connecting piece 23 is used for flexible connection between the sleeve 22 and the cylinder 21 to absorb offset tolerances. When the cylinder 21 drives to press and install the breathing valve, it is convenient for the sleeve 22 to drive the breathing valve to perform adaptive alignment adjustment within a certain range to avoid hard collision. It should be clear that the "product" mentioned in this article refers to the corresponding product that needs to install the breathing valve and has a breathing valve installation position, such as the housing of an automotive controller (ECU), the outer frame of a solar photovoltaic panel, etc.

[0024] As Figure 2 , In this embodiment, there are two groups of positioning components 3, which are arranged in parallel on the side of the mounting component 2 and include positioning heads 31, push rods 32, connecting rods 33 and handles 34. The handle 34 has a rubber protective sleeve for anti-slip. The connecting rod 33 and the handle 34 are located on the same side of the mounting plate 1, and the two are respectively arranged on both sides of the mounting plate 1 with the positioning head 31. Two connection ends 341 are arranged at the bottom of the handle 34, namely connection end one 341a and connection end two 341b. Connection end one 341a is rotatably connected to one end of the connecting rod 33, and connection end two 341b is rotatably connected to one end of the push rod 32. The connecting rod 33 is arranged on the mounting plate 1 through a guiding sleeve 35. The outer wall of the guiding sleeve 35 is fixed on the mounting plate 1. The connecting rod 33 and the guiding sleeve 35 are rotatably connected through a pin. The push rod 32 passes through the middle of the guiding sleeve 35 and is slidably connected to the guiding sleeve 35. Driven by the handle 34, the push rod 32 moves through the guiding sleeve 35, and the positioning head 31 is fixed at the end of the push rod 32. The movement of the push rod 32 drives the positioning head 31 to move horizontally.

[0025] Pull the handle 34 up and down. The connecting rod 33 rotates around the connection point with the guide sleeve 35, and the handle 34 rotates around the first connection end 341a. They rotate synchronously and coordinately, driving the push rod 32 to move in the guide sleeve 35. When the handle 34 is pulled up, the second connection end 341b rotates to drive the push rod 32 to retract the positioning head 31, moving away from the product 100, as shown in Figure 3 , when the handle 34 is pulled down, the second connection end 341b rotates to drive the push rod 32 to push out the positioning head 31, moving towards the product 100, as shown in Figure 4 .

[0026] Further combined with Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , a notch 311 is provided on the side of the positioning head 31 away from the push rod 32, corresponding to the limit post 201 of the product carrier 200. In this embodiment, the positioning head 31 is in the shape of a concave structure block, and the concave notch 311 is correspondingly stuck on the limit post 202 of the product carrier 200 for alignment and fixation. The edges of each end of the notch 311 are rounded. At the same time, the positioning assembly 3 further includes a guide rod 36. The guide rod 36 is fixed on the mounting plate 1. The guide rod 36 is arranged parallel to the push rod 32. The guide rod 36 penetrates through the positioning head 31, and the positioning head 31 is slidably connected to the guide rod 36. When the push rod 32 moves to drive the positioning head 31 to move closer to and away from the limit post 202, the guide rod 36 plays a role in stable guiding.

[0027] In addition, a height limiting plate 4 is also provided on the mounting plate 1. The bolt vertically and detachably arranges the height limiting plate 4 on one side of the mounting plate through the elongated hole 5 opened on the mounting plate 1. During use, the height limiting plate 4 is fixed at the operation station. After loosening the bolt, the mounting plate 1 can be moved, that is, the position of the mounting plate 1 relative to the height limiting plate 4 can be changed, so as to adjust the installation height of the air vent valve, thereby increasing the installation adaptability of the air vent valve installation mechanism. A handling window 7 is also opened on the mounting plate, which is convenient for the operator to hold and carry the air vent valve installation mechanism, increasing the convenience. Embodiment 2
