[0029] See Figure 1 , this embodiment discloses a plug assembly tooling for assembling a manifold tube and a plug, including a workbench, a mounting groove placed on the workbench for placing the manifold tube, a working cylinder for installing the plug onto the manifold tube, and screws. The manifold tube is placed in the mounting groove, and the plug is installed at both ends of the manifold tube by starting the cylinder and using the cylinder thrust to realize the assembly work of the manifold tube and the plug.
[0030] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the mounting groove includes a rectangular groove, a support seat, a limit slider, screws, limit pins, and positioning posts. The rectangular groove is placed on the workbench and fixedly connected to the workbench. The rectangular groove includes baffles. A support seat is arranged in the rectangular groove, and the support seat is connected to the rectangular groove by screws. The limit slider is placed in the rectangular groove and can be stuck on both sides of the rectangular groove. The limit pin is placed in the hole on the upper end surface of the limit slider to connect the limit slider to the rectangular groove. The positioning post is threadedly connected to the limit slider. The limit slider can slide along the rectangular groove to adjust the slider position according to the length of the manifold tube.

The side limit hole of the limit slider is used to further limit the position of the limit slider. When the limit slider moves to an appropriate position, by screwing the screw into the side limit hole of the limit slider, the friction between the limit slider and the rectangular groove increases, and the connection is tighter, which helps to reduce the shaking or movement of the limit slider during work.
[0032] At the top of the baffle, there are baffle limit holes arranged at equal intervals and in pairs. The limit slider can be connected to any pair of baffle limit holes through the limit pin. By adjusting the cooperation between the limit slider and different pairs of baffle limit holes of the rectangular groove, it can be used to assemble manifold tubes of different lengths, improving the adaptability of this solution.

The limit slider can move along the side wall of the loop groove, and the upper limit hole is coaxial with the baffle limit hole. The positioning column includes two, one of which is connected to the limit slider by a thread, and the other is fixedly connected to the working cylinder.
[0034] See Figure 4 , there are at least two support bases. The support base includes an arc groove and a positioning hole. The positioning hole is fixedly connected to the connecting hole at the bottom of the loop groove. The arc groove is used to place the manifold. The distance between the two support bases can be appropriately adjusted according to the length of the manifold to ensure the stability after the manifold is placed.
[0035] See Figure 5 , the workbench includes support legs, a telescopic tabletop placed on the support legs, and an arc surface fixedly connected to the telescopic tabletop. The lower ends of the four legs of the telescopic tabletop are placed inside the support legs. The arc surface is used to place the operation switch of the working cylinder, and the workbench can adjust the height of the workbench to facilitate assembly operations for operators of different heights.
[0036] Exemplarily, during work, by adjusting the telescopic tabletop to a suitable height, select a suitable position to place the support base according to the length of the manifold and connect it to the bottom of the loop groove by screws. Screw the fixing column into the middle threaded hole of the limit slider. Select a suitable baffle limit hole according to the length of the manifold. Slide the limit slider along the baffle until the upper limit hole is coaxial with the baffle limit hole. Insert the limit pin, and screw the screw into the side limit hole on the side wall of the limit slider until the screw tightly abuts the baffle. Place one plug on the positioning column, place the other plug on the positioning device at the end of the working cylinder, place the manifold on the support base, start the operation switch of the working cylinder, and the working cylinder tightly installs the plugs at both ends of the manifold together. Remove the installed manifold and perform the installation operation of the next manifold.
