[0002] Fuel pipes are crucial components in the current automotive manufacturing process. These pipes primarily consist of a quick connector and a resin pipe. These two components typically need to be assembled together. Traditionally, manual assembly has been performed by assemblers, resulting in low efficiency and substandard component quality. Improper operation can also easily injure the assembler's hands, hindering worker safety. Technological advancements have led to the development of automated fuel pipe assembly machines, which significantly improve assembly efficiency and quality. However, these machines cannot guarantee proper assembly of the fuel pipe, resulting in substandard component quality.

[0003] Chinese document CN210850082U discloses a joint assembly machine for automobile brake pipes, which uses a second clamping claw cylinder to clamp the brake hose, and then the first clamping claw cylinder and the third clamping claw cylinder respectively assemble two pipe joints on both ends of the brake hose to complete the assembly of the automobile brake pipe, replacing the manual assembly method and significantly improving the assembly efficiency. The assembly precision is high: since there is a specific angle between one end of the brake hose and the pipe joint, the motor drives the first clamping claw cylinder to rotate to the required angle before assembly, which improves the assembly precision of the brake hose and the pipe joint. It is multifunctional: during the assembly process, a coding function is added to eliminate the subsequent separate coding process, and convenient unloading: a pneumatic clamp is set to clamp the assembled brake pipe, the pneumatic clamp is flipped, and the material is discharged under the guidance of the guide plate, replacing the manual unloading method and realizing automatic unloading.

An identification unit is provided on the top processing frame 2, and the identification unit is electrically connected to the controller.

[0024] Working principle: During use, when the oil pipe quick connector is placed on the assembly mechanism 6 and is ready for assembly, the identification probe 9 first contacts the oil pipe quick connector and sends a signal to the camera 8 after contact. After receiving the signal, the camera 8 starts to identify the oil pipe quick connector. The identification unit can detect whether the assembled oil pipe quick connectors are of the same model. When the models match, it controls the assembly mechanism 6 to start assembling the oil pipe quick connector. When the sizes do not match, the alarm light 12 lights up to remind the workers to replace the mismatched oil pipe quick connector. When the camera 8 identifies, the assembled oil pipe quick connector can be imaged through the display screen 11, which is convenient for the workers to observe the oil pipe quick connector.
