[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0023] See also Figures 1 to 3 A ball valve body intelligent assembly device includes an assembly platform 1, a mounting frame 2 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the assembly platform 1, and an assembly robot arm 3. The inner side of the assembly platform 1 is provided with an auxiliary structure to prevent the valve body from stacking and colliding.
[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the auxiliary structure includes a servo motor 4 fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the assembly table 1, a transmission rod 5 fixedly connected to the output of the servo motor 4, a transmission wheel 6 fixedly connected to the outside of the transmission rod 5, a transmission belt 7 transmission-connected to the outer surface of the transmission wheel 6, a driven wheel 8 transmission-connected to the other end of the transmission belt 7, a driven rod 9 fixedly connected to the inner side of the center of the driven wheel 8, a reducer 10 fixedly connected to one end of the back side of the driven rod 9, a rotating rod 11 fixedly connected to the power output end of the reducer 10, a receiving plate 12 fixedly connected to the top of the rotating rod 11, an electric cylinder 13 fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the mounting frame 2, and a baffle 14 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the movable rod of the electric cylinder 13.
[0025] It should be noted that a mounting plate 15 is fixedly connected to the inner right side wall of the assembly platform 1 , and the reducer 10 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the mounting plate 15 .
[0026] One end of the back side of the driven rod 9 is fixedly connected to the power input end of the reducer 10 , and the top end of the rotating rod 11 movably passes through the inner top wall of the assembly platform 1 and is fixedly connected to the receiving plate 12 .
[0027] The inner bottom wall of the receiving tray 12 , the left side wall of the baffle 14 , and the right side wall of the baffle 14 are all fixedly connected with a buffer pad 16 .
[0028] The electric cylinder 13 is fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the mounting frame 2 , and the electric cylinder 13 is located directly above the receiving plate 12 .
[0029] A visual sensor 17 is fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the mounting frame 2 , and the visual sensor 17 is located above the receiving tray 12 and on the left side of the electric cylinder 13 .
[0030] A maintenance door is hinged on the front of the assembly platform 1 , and the assembly robot arm 3 is located on the left side wall of the receiving tray 12 .
[0031] In addition, a protection system is introduced, and the system has overload protection and emergency stop functions. Once it detects that key components such as the servo motor 4 and the reducer 10 are abnormal or overloaded, the power supply will be immediately cut off and the emergency braking procedure will be started to prevent equipment damage or accidents.
[0032] As an important component of the intelligent assembly system, the visual sensor 17 can capture the image information of the valve body accessories in the receiving tray 12 and the baffle 14 area in real time, and perform rapid analysis and processing. When it detects that an accessory has arrived at the specified position, the sensor will immediately send a signal to the control system to trigger the assembly robot 3 to perform the next operation. In addition, the visual sensor 17 also has a quality inspection function, which can identify defective or non-compliant accessories to prevent them from entering the subsequent assembly process and ensure product quality.
[0033] The working principle of the above embodiment is:
[0034] The electric cylinder 13 is started, and the electric cylinder 13 drives the baffle 14 to move downward and locate the baffle 14 on the inner side of the receiving plate 12. Then, the servo motor 4 is started, and its output shaft drives the transmission rod 5 to rotate, and the transmission wheel 6 on the transmission rod 5 rotates accordingly. The rotational power is transmitted to the driven wheel 8 through the tightly fitting transmission belt 7, and the driven wheel 8 drives the driven rod 9 to rotate. The other end of the driven rod 9 is fixedly connected to the power input end of the reducer 10. The introduction of the reducer 10 achieves a significant reduction in rotation speed and a corresponding increase in torque, thereby accurately controlling the rotation speed of the rotating rod 11 connected to its power output end, and the rotating rod 11 drives the receiving plate 12 to rotate;
[0035] When the valve body accessories fall into the inner side of the receiving tray 12, they will contact the buffer pad 16 on the inner bottom wall of the receiving tray 12, thereby preventing the height difference from causing damage to the falling valve body accessories. At the same time, the rotating receiving tray 12 will bring the valve body accessories that fall into the receiving tray 12 to the other side of the baffle 14, thereby preventing the valve body accessories that fall into the receiving tray 12 from docking and colliding. When the valve body accessories come to the other side of the baffle 14, they will be sensed by the visual sensor 17, and the assembly robot arm 3 will start working to assemble the valve body accessories.
[0036] The electrical components mentioned in this article are all electrically connected to the main controller and the power supply. The main controller can be a conventional known device that controls a computer, etc., and the existing public power connection technology is not described in detail in this article.
